The Transportation Security Administration has issued a warning for anyone travelling by air this holiday season: leave your gifts unwrapped. If you pack wrapped presents, TSA's airport screeners will rip them open and examine the contents.

It's easy to see why the TSA won't let wrapped gifts slide -- it'd be too easy for terrorists to slip threats onto airplanes. But it's not just terrorists looking to use wrapping paper to sneak things past screeners; last week screeners opened gift-wrapped packages at LAX and found 35 pounds of marijuana.

The TSA has published a "3-1-1 for Holiday Trave" guide on its website, offering travelers tips for traveling. TSA gives advice on how to dress to avoid setting off metal detectors, and even warns travelers against irreverent humor, telling them to "save jokes for after the checkpoint."

If you plan on making the trip down to Kings Island this year you will have a new attraction to see. The Cincinnati area park is opening up what they call "the world's largest animatronic dinosaur park."

Dinosaurs Live will feature 60 life-sized dinosaurs in a 12 acre setting. The new exhibit will be an additional $5 admission on top of the regular park entry fee.

On Sunday, the United States urged its citizens to get out of Egypt as quickly as possible as President Hosni Mubarack's regime increased pressure on hundreds of thousands of protesters continuing to assemble in the streets, flaunting the state-imposed curfew.

The unrest took on new deadly dimensions as well, as gangs attacked at least four prisons, freeing thousands of convicts. The official death toll stands at 97 after five days of protesting, but witnesses report that hundreds more have died.

State Department officials in the US were hastily arranging for Americans to fly to "save havens" in Europe.

A majority of the demonstrators have gathered in Cairo's Tahrir Square along with Nobel Peace laureate Mohamed ElBaradi. There were also members of the Muslim Brotherhood present, who want Egypt to become an Islamist state.

Murabak further enraged protesters by closing roads around the city with tanks, and by sending F-16 fighter jets on menacing overflights of the square.

Cairo's airport was flooded with foreigners and tourists trying desperately to catch a flight out of the country, as countries around the world sought to fly in planes to remove their citizens from the dangerous situation.

The Cleveland area did get a white Christmas over the weekend, but the snowfall didn't amount to much and was more of a dusting than anything. On the East Coast, however, it was a very different story as a blizzard dumped more than 20 inches of snow on some parts of New York City and similar amounts in other cities like Boston, Newark, Philadelphia and Baltimore. This has affected numerous flights out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, so if you are scheduled to travel eastbound, check the status of your flight before you venture out.

On Sunday, one delayed flight from Cleveland to LaGuardia in New York was diverted to Philadelphia, and when it couldn't land there it returned to Cleveland eight hours after passengers originally boarded the plane.

Kings Island's Planet Snoopy - Mason

On Thursday, a massive volcano in Iceland spewed ash clouds across Europe, grounding flights across the northern part of the continent and stranding tens of thousands of passengers. Airspace was closed over Britain, Ireland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland, and also affected dozens of flights in the U.S. at airports in New York and Newark.

London's Heathrow Airport has suspended all flights for the remainder of the day, and no further flights are expected to arrive or land at the airport.

Authorities say that it could take days or weeks for the ash to clear up. That doesn't necessarily mean that the airspace will be closed for that long, that's actually dependent on the weather. Einar Kjartansson, a geophysicist at the Icelandic Meteorological Office said "It depends how the wind carries the ash."

Today, the ash was blowing towards northern Europe, even hitting the UK about 1,200 miles away. All flights at London's five major airports were cancelled. Heathrow itself handles 1,200 flights and 180,000 passengers daily.

Every year, the city of Basel - with its historic architecture and legendary beauty - welcomes the people who matter, from across the world. BaselWorld, an event which traces its origins back to over three hundred years, is a valentine to beauty, taste and glamour and a gathering of the connoisseurs of ultra-luxurious jewelry and watches, every year in Basel.

BaselWorld has six sprawling halls that have 2,000 booths from 45 countries, spread over an area of 160,000 sq m. Over 600 watch stands and 750 jewelry stands showcase the finest collections of the year.

BaselWorld, in its ancient form, was an annual fair that Emperor Frederick III permitted Basel the right to hold every two years. It evolved into the first Swiss fair in 1917, until it was thrown open to the whole of Europe in 1973, and later to the whole world in 1986. Since then, BaselWorld is regarded as one of the finest jewelry and watch fairs in the world and the hallmark of Swiss excellence.

The fair is a joint enterprise between the City of Basel and MCH Swiss Exhibition (Basel) Ltd, which organizes more than 30 annual exhibitions and fairs.
