SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -
Authorities say claims by students at an expensive Northern California basketball academy of mistreatment at the school is leading to a search for more possible victims.
The Sacramento Bee reports that four students of the CCSE Preparatory Academy told Roseville police that they've been mistreated by the president of the academy, 24-year-old Francis Ngissah.
In a complaint to police on Jan. 8, the four students told investigators that they had been forced to stand in a corner, restrained with zip ties, and sometimes had clothespins clamped on their nipples as punishment.
After the complaint to police. Ngissah was arrested the next day on suspicion of inflicting corporal punishment on the three teenagers and one young adult. He was released on $100,000 bail.
Attempts by The Associated Press to reach Ngissah for comment were unsuccessful, and an email request seeking comment from the academy was not returned.

Cisco To Have An Android Tablet Of Their Very Own
First came Android, the mobile OS. Then came the first Android phone, the G1. Then came the Nexus One, the first true gPhone — Google top to bottom. And it just kept going from there.
Today, not yet three years into development, Android is available on dozens of devices, from phones to e-readers to netbooks and more. It's taken the #2 spot in the mobile OS world — well ahead of the "unkillable" iPhone — and reportedly is slated to take on Apple's other hot toy of the moment.
Given the explosive growth and variety of devices sporting the OS, it comes as little surprise when a manufacturer announces they have a new Android offering in the works. Unless, that is, if the manufacturer is a networking giant and the announcement comes out of nowhere.
Such was the case this afternoon, when word reached us that Cisco — a name we associate with switches, not smartphones — announced it will bring an Android tablet to market.
The device in question, dubbed the Cius, will be a bit different than most Android tablets — both those on the market and on the drawing board. Rather than entering the consumer market, which plenty of other manufacturers are tripping over themselves to do, Cisco intends to tie up the business market with what it calls "the most portable, powerful, reliable, and secure communications, computing, and collaboration experience for a device of its kind."
Marketing-speak aside, Cisco says the 1.5lb box will boast a 1.6GHz Atom processor, 32GB of flash memory, a 7" high-definition touchscreen, WiFi, 3G/4G cellular service, Bluetooth, and an eight-hour battery life, among other things. There will also be two onboard cameras — a front-mounted 720p HD model with a 30 frames-per-second refresh rate, and a rear-mounted 5-megapixel model for video or still shots — as well as dual noise-canceling mics.
That the tablet is aimed at the business market is made clear by features like the "HD Soundstation" dock, which adds native support for USB 2.0 & Bluetooth 3.0 peripherals, along with integrated HD speakers and support for dual independent displays. As one would expect, there will be tight integration with Cisco's line of enterprise services, and an overall focus on cloud-based solutions.
According to Cisco, the Cius will also have access to the Android Market. This piques our interest, as to our knowledge, no Android tablet — indeed, no non-smartphone devices whatsoever — have access to the Market, period. Though Android itself is Open Source, access to the Android Market is controlled by Google, and is granted only to devices that gain a passing grade from its "Compatibility Test Suite." If the Cius makes it though, it will definitely be a first of its kind.
The company says it plans to begin testing the device with customers in the fall, and expects the Cius to be generally available after the first of the year. An extensive look at the device and its capabilities is available from Cisco.com.
Justin Ryan is a Contributing Editor for Linux Journal.
That the tablet is aimed at the business market is made clear by features like the "HD Soundstation" dock...
How does the HD Soundstation dock make it clear that this device is aimed at the business market? That actually sounds more like an entertainment feature.
Hope it's better than their VOIP product
My company's Cisco (free) VOIP product has some serious shortcomings. I hope their tablet product exceeds that offering.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Our 2012 Budget
For 2012, I wanted to come up with a more accurate budget, seeing that our baby would be born this year and hopefully we'll be able to control our spending without worrying too much about it. I figured if I budget better, then I'll hopefully be less stressed about where our money is going. Of course, I've also decided I'm not going to be so darn hard on myself because I'll have a baby and have no clue how that's going to impact our budget. If it costs us more money than I anticipated, then it does, and I'll adjust our budget accordingly. Here's our 2012 budget: Mortgage- $793.19 Escrow- $215.00 Energy- $150.00 Car insurance- $88.00 Verizon- $40.00 Cable, phone, internet- $125.00 Food- $350.00 Retirement- $100.00 House Stuff- $50.00 Gas- $200.00 Some notes: The mortgage is just principal and interest. I used to round the payment up to $800 or so, until I found out that the extra money that I was paying was being applied to the next month's payment! Talk about annoying. To make additional principal payments, I […][ Read More → ]

Travelmath helps you find the closest airport to any city, as well as a list of smaller local airports. You can use these pages to plan your trip and figure out the easiest way to get to your destination. Many times there are multiple airports near the city you want to visit, so you can often find a cheaper flight into a different airport. This is especially useful if you are getting a rental car, since it might be better to drive a bit farther in order to save money on airfare. If you're booking an international flight, you probably want the closest major airport, otherwise if you're a pilot you may be looking for a local airport. Use this tool along with the flight distance pages to plan your travel.

The easiest way to see the wonders of the world? Google Maps. You might use the technology more for directions from Point A to Point B, but you can also go into Street View to tour through some of the Earth's most spectacular sites. And this digital form of armchair travel's latest addition? The Liwa desert via, of all things, camel.
To minimize disruptions to the delicate Arabian landscape, Google recruited a camel to carry its Street View camera to capture 360-degree imagery of the desert. The unexpected is seeing what you don't usually witness in history books and on travel shows, the real-life surroundings of these attractions. See tourists clamoring for the perfect photograph, while apartment buildings and housing complexes are speckled across the skyline.

At Medium, Robin Sloan writes an appreciation of Nerdhaven, the archetypal shop in Everytown "catering to comic book readers, the D&D players, the gatherers-of-Magic."
Rue 21 tells 14-year-old shopper she's "too big to be in this store"
"I walked in and the lady at the front counter said hey you're too big to be in this store, I need you to leave," said Buster. ... After Shelby's mom contacted us, we contacted the store. The Rue 21 district manager told us over the phone that they're aware of the situation and are currently looking into it.
"Dragon" found in toilet
Zine newsstand in Brooklyn subway station
The Newsstand is a subway shop inside Brooklyn's Lorimer/Metropolitan station that specializes in zines. Great idea! (And yes, it's already been nicknamed the "hipster newsstand.") Paper magazine interviewed the proprietors:
Lele Saveri: I think the zine idea was also because of the location. You're in the subway and people are used to grabbing something to read for the train ride. If it's not a newspaper or magazine, you just download [something] on your phone. [Zines] are something people can get for cheap and a unique thing. Also, you're [physically] underground and zines have always been about the underground world.
Jamie Falkowski: I think that space is really interesting because it's so different from going into a regular newsstand. You have to spend time and look at all the different titles and find the thing that speaks to you.
LS: Everyone who works at the stand are people who have been related to the zine world forever. They know exactly what they're selling. It's not like a dude who sells magazines and doesn't even look at them. Every day there's a new person and every day the person is curating or moving things around. I swear you'll see new stuff every day.
Severed deer head left at supermarket self-checkout
The severed head of a deer was left on a self-service supermarket checkout, prompting a police investigation. The innards of the animal were found in one of the aisles of the Tesco shop in Saffron Walden, Essex, police said. ... A spokesman for Essex Police said nobody had been arrested. A spokeswoman for Tesco apologised for "any distress caused".
I don't know what the big deal is. Don't we all do the same when the stupid self-checkout won't beep something?
Smells like shopping
The researchers say the (simple) scent is more easily processed, freeing the customer's mind to focus on shopping. But when that "bandwidth" is unavailable customers don't perform cognitive tasks as effectively, says (Eric) Spangenberg, (dean of the College of Business)..."WSU researchers tie simple scent to increased retail sales"

Geology geeks: Time for a shopping spree
Muji's background music
Muji sells high quality generic products at inexpensive prices; think Ikea with better taste and a Japanese flavor of minimalism. This is its background music. Bruce Sterling: "More starkly minimal than the muzak from lesser outlets of capitalism."

Gaikai Cloud-Based Gaming Service: Onlive Killer?
March 16th, 2010
Currently in beta, Gaikai will let gamers try out all sorts of games and software – Eve Online, Mario Kart, WoW, Photoshop – with only a browser and Flash as requirements. No need to install anything. Sound familiar? The truth is that Gaikai and OnLive are quite similar: both are cloud-based gaming services – their servers handle everything from hardware to software, theoretically enabling users to play the latest games over a broadband connection without the need to have the latest hardware or even the game itself. But Perry claims that Gaikai has a more palatable marketing strategy.
Co-founder Dave Perry says that Gaikai wants to work closely with game publishers, whereas Onlive's marketing strategy is to go up against the console makers. OnLive recently revealed their pricing scheme: $15 a month, aside from the cost of purchasing games. Perry thinks that OnLive will kill itself. Gaikai on the other hand, seems to be more of a way for publishers to let customers try their games using as little equipment as possible – an internet connection, a browser and Flash. Watch Dean Takahashi interview Perry as the latter fiddles with Gaikai (very weird name by the way).
So what is Gaikai's push? Perry revealed a bit of the company's plans in an interview with Eurogamer. The plan is for Nintendo, Sony et al to leverage Gaikai's technology to let users try games for free, again using only a browser and Flash: "Say you're going to Nintendo.com. We'll actually look at your geographical location, see we've got a server near you, and pop up a button that says 'play Mario Kart now'. You click the button, up pops Mario Kart and you can play it… Our objective is to make you fall in love with Nintendo and have a great time playing Mario Kart. And this is the big difference. We're not running the games, it's the publishers running the games. We supply the service to them to let them do this." But at the same time, as you can clearly see in this demo, Gaikai is also considering something very similar to what OnLive is offering:
So… it seems that Gaikai offers a much simpler interface than OnLive and that the company is offering their tech to game publishers. But the question here is: will there be a dedicated Gaikai service for gamers similar to what was shown above, or will the tech be found embedded in publisher's websites? Or will it be both? And if there will be a Gaikai service what then makes it different, marketing wise, from OnLive? So many questions.

Comments (11):
Gaikai sounds like one big Demo service. Wii games and other non-graphically intense games would be the extent of it. I dont see this going anywhere Onlive at least will have HD games. The real trick is getting all the vendors on board other wise these services just become another PC gaming service. Onlive wont have Killzone 2, MGS4, Infamous, Uncharted 2, MAG, etc. Why because they are not PC games.
There is a third company in the mix and thats OTOY. They're backed by AMD, Supermicro and strangely enough Intel…while AMD is contributing servers and video cards it seems Intel isn't giving anything but money so it seems.
This seems more like a good battle with OnLive. There is no video, I'd love to see what this can do and see pricing structure. While OnLive is looking mostly toward games OTOY looks like its going to do not only games, but video (movies and maybe tv), OS' for virtual offices and more.
Gaikai looks interesting, but i don't quite know where its going. Not sure if there will be a dedicated site with games or you have to go to several sites. Not sure the quality of the games. Have to wait.
It'll be an interesting battle. The thing is OnLive is reality now, when will the other two come out? What will the quality be like and which will have the most and best content? OnLive does have a lot of the major game companies behind it. The thing that may make it hard for the average person is the price. At $15 a month PLUS game rental and buying fee, it may be a little much for people to swallow.
OnLive announced they are offering a free demo service last week with the same free deal that Gaikai is proposing, but also with the ability to rent or buy the game. http://bit.ly/d4WBfP
It looks like this interview was recorded before OnLive's announcement because the pricing comparison doesn't make sense now.
"Through the OnLive Game Portal, gamers will be able to play SELECT games directly on a rental basis as well as game demos for free"
It says select games so not all games will be rentable or demoed. Its a good offer though, some is better than none and they may change their mind and give full access rentals later. I guess it depends on how many $15/mo subs they get and how much money they make from the portal with no subs just on rentals.
I read "Select" to mean that game publishers may not allow all games to be available through a free portal, which would affect Gaikai as well. BTAIM, OnLive certainly could decide to offer all games they are allowed to if they need to be competitive.
The key thing is Gaikai's announcement only talks about OnLive's $15/mo service. They would have said something about OnLive's free service if they were aware of it.

1925 E Powell Blvd,
Gresham, OR 97080
Biggest Certified Dealer in Oregon!
Click on one of the people below to find out more information.
Nick is our GM for good reason. With over 30 years in the auto industry, his attention to customer needs is superior. In fact, Nick probably sells more cars from referrals every month than an average salesperson. As the leader here, Nick has an open door policy with all of his employees and recognizes that the success of Gresham Subaru comes from positive, fun group effort. He says, "I have spent the last 17 years as the GM here, and I am very proud of our TEAM!"
Nick recognizes that need to balance his time. When he is not selling cars, he is spending time with his family, cheering them on at various school events. Or, when he's not in the office, Nick might be out hitting a golf ball, fishing the Columbia, or hunting somewhere in western Washington.
For the last four years, Ivan has headed up our Internet Sales Department. In fact, originally, Ivan was the department, managing it single-handedly. Now, our Internet Sales Department has expanded to four full time employees! But don't think that Ivan is sitting in front of a computer screen all day. He prefers getting out on the floor, sharing a joke, a smile, and a laugh. Ivan has over 30 years of experience in the auto industry that have taken him all over Oregon: from the Willamette Valley to Newport to the High Desert and to our very own Gresham Subaru. IVAN KNOWS CARS!
Ivan knows what families want too: play time! With six kids, Ivan has seen his share of high school football and basketball games; but fun goes way beyond the bleachers. When summer arrives, it's all about the outdoors, and Ivan and his family are on the water with wakeboard in tow, enjoying one of the Northwest's spectacular lakes. Ivan also enjoys fishing, golfing, and riding his big ol' Harley.
In 2002 Nicholas came to work with us as a Lot Attendant and has worked in almost every department at the Dealership and has never worked any place else! He has been around the car business his entire life.
Nicholas is single and loves the outdoors riding quads, boating, camping and sports in general.
Liz started in the car business back in 1982 in Roseburg. After a year in Sales, she moved on to Finance, where she has spent the majority of her career. She rejoined Gresham Subaru, having worked our F & I department over 15 years ago. Now that's commitment!
With 4 children, Liz and her soul mate have "a passion for healing the world and growing into awesome parents and grandparents."
Gady recently joined Gresham Subaru, coming in with over 18 years of sales, financing, and management experience in the auto industry. He can navigate your car-buying experience so that it is smooth sailing.
However, cars are just one aspect of Gady's navigation skills: he is also a pilot, and he does a fair share of boating too. Gady and his wife have been married over 21 years and have two teenagers in high school. Staying connected is a priority. Whether it's camping and boating at Detroit Lake or just heading out to a movie, Gady knows that family time is the best time.
For over four years, Paul has been providing excellent customer service to his clients here at Gresham Subaru. With a 40 year work resume that includes public education, business management, and the non-profit sector, Paul knows how to listen to customers and follow up with getting them what they want.
You will find Paul around the Subaru lot during the mild months. Then when the northwest winter hits, Paul and his wife are off to Palm Springs, soaking in the warm temps and playing as much golf as they can.
Tracey has been in the auto industry for nearly 30 years, the last few years here at Gresham Subaru. He is a true aficionado and lover of all things cars! That includes selling (naturally), restoring, collecting, talking about, and showing cars.
Current show car: a one-of-a-kind '68 Camaro convertible Tracey found in France. And his current project car: a '69 Cougar XR7. Tracey does manage to separate himself from cars now and then, especially if it means a chance to go fishing or whitewater rafting.

Cut through this bike lock, and you'll destroy the bike
No matter how tough you make a bike lock, it seems like a determined thief can find a way to defeat it. This lock however is made from an essential part of the bike frame, so if you cut through it, you've ruined the bike.
Created by designer Andrew Leinonen after his girlfriend's bike was stolen, the StayLocked lock uses the top few inches of the seat stays as the lock, attaching them with a universal joint that lets you swivel them around a post. If a thief cuts through them, the bike will collapse under the rider's weight as soon as he tries to get on.
The one fatal flaw with Andrew's design is that it assumes the thief is smart enough to recognize what cutting the lock will do, that's probably quite a stretch.
While the StayLocked is a prototype for now, Leinonen is interested in selling his design to bike manufacturers.
Andrew Leionen, via Wired Gadget Lab

Coke Zero Salutes Coach Nick Saban With Commercial Celebrating What's Possible
All season long, Coke Zero has recognized college football fans and the unbridled passion they have for their favorite sport. In a new ad debuting today, Coke Zero pays tribute to every fan's ultimate dream – a national college football title – and the driving force behind the victorious team, the University of Alabama's Head Coach, Nick Saban.
The new commercial is narrated by Terry Saban, wife of Nick Saban. It opens and closes with a voiceover from Tom Roberts, the host of the University of Alabama's game-day broadcasts. In the spot, Terry Saban recounts a series of things people said her husband couldn't do, all of which he achieved. From "marrying the head majorette from the rival high school" to "winning three titles in four years," Coach Saban has never backed down from a challenge.
"Throughout his life and career, Coach Saban has shown what's possible. Coke Zero, which made it possible to 'Enjoy Everything' by combining Real Coke Taste and Zero Calories, salutes that spirit," said Andy McMillan, Vice President, Coca-Cola Trademark, Coca-Cola North America. "We congratulate Coach Saban and the University of Alabama on this historic 15 th championship win and celebrate alongside the legions of Crimson Tide fans."
The Coca-Cola Company has a long relationship with the University of Alabama that dates back more than 70 years. From creating customized programs designed to engage Crimson Tide fans, to offering scholarships to first generation college students through The Coca-Cola Foundation, Coca-Cola has a proud tradition of partnership with the University. Coca-Cola has also partnered with Nick Saban since he joined Alabama in 2007. Coach Saban has been part of a variety of local marketing activities across the state and The Coca-Cola Company actively supports his Nick's Kids Foundation.Coach Saban's relationship with Coca-Cola goes way back, too. His father owned a service station in West Virginia and when Coach Saban was a young boy, he helped keep the Coca-Cola cooler stocked with ice-cold Coca-Cola. When Coach Saban embarked on his coaching career in the early '70s in Ohio, he drove a Coca-Cola route truck to make extra income. This job is alluded to in the ad when images of vintage Coca-Cola delivery trucks are shown and Terry Saban notes, "they said he couldn't make ends meet as a graduate assistant coach." Today Coach Saban enjoys his favorite beverage, Coke Zero, wherever it's delivered locally in Tuscaloosa.

Malloy urged to veto ATV bill
HARTFORD — Connecticut environmental conservation groups are urging Gov. Dannel P. Malloy to veto a bill that was changed in the final hours of the legislative session, which they say could possibly allow all-terrain vehicles on state-owned lands.
The bill originally was supposed to increase penalties for unlawful use of ATVs and dirt bikes on public streets. It was amended June 5, the final night of the session, to instead require the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to carry out an ATV policy for state lands that the agency adopted in 2002 but never implemented.

The estimates of tourism dollars these trails bring in range from 260 million to 300 million a year depending who's article you read. The State of Maine actively builds and opens more miles of trail each year. Maine has passed laws to protect persons who own private lands some of these trails pass through. Many CT, NY and MA residents vacation in Maine specifically because their states do not have these trails. NH has seen these tourism dollars and has begun to open more and more miles of trails to bring this money into their state. Of course CT will shut this down. Why would our law makers do something that could bring or keep dollars here. Way to go CT, the only state in the nation with negative economic growth. "

Syria accepts Russian plan to surrender chemical weapons stockpile as strike momentum eases
CBS NEWS President Bashar Assad's government on Tuesday accepted a Russian plan to turn over its chemical weapons stockpile as momentum mounted for a proposal that could avert American strikes against the regime. The U.S. and France turned to the United Nations for a resolution to ensure Damascus complies.
With domestic support for a strike uncertain in the United States and little international appetite to join forces against Assad, the developments had the potential to blunt a thorny diplomatic problem and allow the Obama administration to back away from military action.
But neither effort attempts to end or even address the civil war that has left more than 100,000 dead in Syria and the main opposition bloc dismissed the chemical weapons plan as a largely meaningless measure that would allow Assad free rein to fight on with conventional weapons.
Syria's foreign minister said the government would accept a plan from Russia, its most powerful ally, to give up its chemical weapons in order "to thwart U.S. aggression," offering a diplomatic option for how to respond to the Aug. 21 chemical weapons attack that the Obama administration, France and others blame on Assad.
The Russian proposal for Syria to place its chemical weapons stockpile under international control "can work only if we hear that the American side and all those who support the United States in this sense reject the use of force," President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday.
Damascus denies its forces were behind the attack. The U.S. has said more than 1,400 Syrians died; even conservative estimates from international organizations put the toll at several hundred.
France, a permanent member of the 15-nation Security Council, will start the process at the United Nations on Tuesday under Chapter 7 of the U.N. Charter, which is militarily enforceable, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said at a news conference organized shortly after meeting with the French president.
CBS News foreign affairs analyst Pamela Falk says "there are a lot of negotiations that have to take place -- on a rapid-fire timeline -- to get the Russia-U.S. proposal into a U.N. Resolution."
Falk, based at United Nations Headquarters in New York, said diplomats suggested the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday would likely be filled with bilateral meetings to see what parts of the French proposal can be worked into a draft resolution, "but there seems to be agreement by Security Council members on the big issues."
President Barack Obama threw his support behind the resolution even as he pushed the idea of U.S. airstrikes against Assad's regime if that effort fails. British Prime Minister David Cameron said his country would join France and the U.S. in putting forward the proposal.
Earlier, White House press secretary Jay Carney told CBS News the Russian proposal still represented only "the potential for positive development and has only come about because of the credible U.S. military threat that is out there."
CBS News White House correspondent Major Garrett reports that U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told the House Armed Services Committee that the administration also wanted Congress to press ahead in consideration of a use-of-force resolution. He said it was yet to be determined "whether this has any meat on it," in reference to the Russian-Syrian proposal.
Fabius said the French resolution would demand that Syria open its chemical weapons program to inspection, place it under international control, and ultimately dismantle it. A violation of that commitment, he said, would carry "very serious consequences." The resolution would condemn the attack and bring those responsible to justice, he said.
Fabius expressed caution that French authorities "don't want to fall into a trap" that could allow Assad's regime to skirt accountability or buy time.
"We do not want this to be used as a diversion," Fabius said. "It is by accepting these precise conditions that we will judge the credibility of the intentions expressed yesterday."
CBS Radio News correspondent Elaine Cobbe reports that France has thus far steered-clear of U.N. resolutions on Syria, knowing that Russia would veto any significant measures. But with this new Russian proposal on the table, Fabius saw an opportunity. The move by Paris is seen as an effort to guarantee Assad follows through with what the Russians have proposed, and will include provisions for "extremely serious consequences" if he doesn't, according to Fabius.
The details and timeframe of the French proposal remained vague, but Fabius said he expected a "nearly immediate" and tangible commitment from Syria. Within two hours, he had a response from his Syrian counterpart, Walid al-Moallem.
"We agreed to the Russian initiative as it should thwart the U.S. aggression against our country," he said.
Moallem's comments amounted to the first formal admissions by top Syrian officials that Damascus even possesses chemical weapons. In an interview conducted Sunday by Charlie Rose, Assad again refused to admit that his government has stockpiles of chemical weapons estimated by many observers to include hundreds of tons of lethal chemical agents.
Russia is now working with Damascus to prepare a detailed plan of action that will be presented soon, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said. Russia will then be ready to finalize the plan with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons.
President Barack Obama, who was scheduled to give a nationally televised address on Syria on Tuesday night, reached back into history - and the Cold War rivalry between the United States and the Soviet Union - to make his case against Syria, even as he cautiously welcomed the early developments.
"The key is, to paraphrase Ronald Reagan, that we don't just trust, but we also verify," Obama told CBS Evening News anchor Scott Pelley. "The importance is to make sure that the international community has confidence that these chemical weapons are under control, that they are not being used, that potentially they are removed from Syria and that they are destroyed."
Obama said the idea actually had been broached in his 20-minute meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week on the sidelines of an economic summit in St. Petersburg, Russia. Obama said he directed Kerry to have more conversations with the Russians and "run this to ground."
The Syrian National Coalition dismissed the Assad government's turnaround as a maneuver to escape punishment for a crime against humanity. The coalition had been hoping for military strikes from abroad to tip the balance in the war of attrition between rebels and Assad's forces.
