''Looper', written and directed by Rian Johnson ('Brick') is an intelligent, engrossing, thought provoking, and totally entertaining, sci fi film about time-travel and what a person will or won't do to save the person they love.
There's also some kick ass action, great characters, excellent acting and at times, it's actually, funny.
'Looper' stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Joe and Bruce Willis as...Old Joe aka Levitt's future self..
The film takes place in Kansas 2042. Time travel has not yet been invented, but 30 years from now, it will have been. Only problem is, it's illegal...and controlled by a syndicate of gangsters, who basically run the world.
These bad boys use a time travel device to send the people they want eliminated, back to 2042, where men known as 'Loopers' kill them and collect a whole lot of silver bars for their work.
Apparently there is absolutely no place for a murderer to dispose of a body thirty years from now...And we think our planet is in trouble, now...
Anyway, because of the illegality of the whole murder thing, eventually the Loopers, themselves, must be eliminated. So after thirty years of killing people...give or take a couple of months...the loopers must oft themselves....well, their older selves.
This is one of the many cool parts of the film.
The loopers wait in this open field, out in nowhere land, for their future selves to pop in. When they arrive, their heads are covered with a hood. When the hoods come off, the realization that the looper must kill himself really sinks in. Of course, not all of them wants to go along with the plan....I mean. can you blame them?
Well, there's a lot more to the plot, but I don't want to spoil the great surprises... I will say that...Emily Blunt and a wonderful young actor, Pierce Gagnon, who plays Blunt's very special son, as well as Jeff Daniels, who's an extremely interesting, bad ass gangsta, all play essential roles in this exciting, orginal film.
Along with the the acting being pitch perfect, the dialogue is clever and witty, raising some very important philsophical issues.
To sum up, 'Looper' is definitely a film that will make you think...about the choices you'd make when it comes to love...love of another person...and love of humanity.
'Looper' opens in theatres, Friday September 28th. It received 4 1/2 bagels out of 5 from myself. Check out our video to see what John thoughts and his rating...Hint...He actually liked it

TNT's "Falling Skies" picks up three months after last summer's season finale that saw heroic historian-turned-freedom fighter Tom Mason (Noah Wyle, "ER") wander into the belly of a spaceship belonging to aliens who attacked Earth.
The two-hour season premiere (9 p.m. today) begins with a friendly-fire incident involving Tom's son, Ben (Connor Jessup), who was rescued from the aliens last season. Flashbacks explain how Tom manages to rejoin the human resistance and include his conversations with an alien leader who uses an enslaved human, Karen (Jessy Schram), as his mouthpiece.
The alien orders Tom to lead the humans into a "neutral zone," not unlike an internment camp, causing Tom and the alien to argue about human history.
"I would be careful to draw too many lessons from the past," Tom says, "because our history has yet to be written."
Attempts to draw parallels to life on Earth are few and far between. Mostly, "Falling Skies" concentrates on the freedom fighters' efforts to blow up alien technology.
The two-hour season premiere addresses the still-nagging question of what impact the aliens had on Ben in the long term. Could he still be under their control? For that matter, could Tom be compromised by the time he spent aboard the alien ship? Tom's oldest son, Hal (Drew Roy), doesn't think so, but troublemaker John Pope (Colin Cunningham) isn't so sure.
The second hour of the season premiere deals with Tom's own concerns about his memory loss from his time on the alien ship.
"I don't trust myself and you shouldn't, either," Tom says, worrying that the aliens messed with his mind. Turns out they meddled elsewhere.
"Falling Skies" remains a dark show -- visually and thematically -- with pinpricks of brightness often found in the heart-to-heart conversations Tom has with his children, who are growing up in a war zone.
"Falling Skies" is at its best when it deals with the most human of subjects. It may be less exciting, but these scenes are more meaningful. They're generally not written with any subtlety or panache, but at least the show makes an effort, on occasion, to be about more than blowing up multilimbed alien bugs.
But at its heart, "Falling Skies" is an action show similar to a long line of us-against-them series with its resistance movement bringing to mind the late "Jericho" and the alien overlords reminiscent of "War of the Worlds."
It's not deep, meaningful TV, but "Falling Skies" is OK summer entertainment for fans of breezy, things-blow-up-easy programming.

By Sports correspondent
CHAMPIONS Knutsford cruised to victory as the Cheshire League campaign started on Saturday, putting four goals without reply past Billinge.
Carlos Edmondson and new recruit Rod Thornley, formerly of Altrincham and Witton Albion, were on target inside the first half hour before goals from substitutes Ebbie Rezayan and Michael Cartner swelled Reds' tally late on.
The opening day's biggest victory belonged though to newly-promoted Barnton, who reached double figures in a thrashing of Denton Town.
Colin Quirk helped himself to a first half hat-trick, while further goals from Billy Webb, Tony Wynne and Andrew Morgan left them six-goals better off than the hosts at the interval.
Substitute Joe Jennings scored shortly after half time, then Webb doubled his personal haul to make it 8-0.
There was still time Dexy Hanley and Jennings, twice, to hit the net in an 11-0 success that earned the Villagers a mention on SKY Sports.
Middlewich Town, under new manager Mike Fagan-Hall, suffered a 5-1 defeat at Linotype Cheadle Heath.
Andrew Pennington's opener gave the Witches encouragement, only for Vinnie Braine to bag a treble as the home team recovered.
Newcomers Rudheath Social, making their debut in the top tier, endured an afternoon to forget at Griffiths Park as visitors Garswood United scored six times.
Lloyd Deane, Carl Addison and Scott Baker each found the net to put the away team in control before Danny Bell celebrated his birthday with a fourth after half time.
Deane made it five before Stuart Tulloch's consolation gave Steve Lloyd's men respite. Deane scored from the spot to complete the scoring, and his hat-trick.
Crewe pinched the points from Rylands thanks to substitute Ben Burrow's scrambled stoppage time winner.
The hosts had led after half an hour when Matthew Pearson converted from close range following a defensive mix-up, although James Daniels' header restored parity on the hour.
Dave Parr's men were grateful to goalkeeper Andrew Moor when he saved Pearson's penalty after substitute Paul Hudson was fouled, then Scott Tebb swerved a free kick against an upright at the other end.
Burrow's decisive goal followed soon afterwards for Crewe.
Elsewhere Michael Dewhurst scored twice as Gamesley thrashed Pilkington while Eagle Sports, runners-up last season, eased to victory against Whaley Bridge thanks to goals either side of half time from Chris Quirk and Richard Chinn.
Lee Vaughan and Lee Hughes were on target for Greenalls as they edged out Styal.

I really liked the smell of this soap. It was clean and without any cologne/musk fragrance. It also washed off cleanly, which was a plus. It isn't a moisturizing soap, which might be an issue to some like myself. I prefer something that still washes off cleanly, but moisturizes a bit more. Overall, it was a great smelling soap, but the quality wasn't something I'd pay 8 bucks for.
I really enjoy this scent. I got a frangerance sample in a previous Birchbox. I only wish the soap had a slightly stronger scent, however it is know for being subtle.
It's got a great clean smell and leaves no residue. It's exactly what you want every bar of soap to be. Love it and will buy more.

Fueling Instructions
Fuel your power tool in well-ventilated
areas, outdoors. Always shut off the
engine and allow it to cool before
refueling. Gasoline vapor pressure may
build up inside the fuel tank depending
on the fuel used, the weather conditions
and the tank venting system.
In order to reduce the risk of burns and
other personal injury from escaping gas
vapor, remove the fuel filler cap on your
power tool carefully so as to allow any
pressure build-up in the tank to release
slowly. Never remove the fuel filler cap
while the engine is running.
Select bare ground for fueling and move
at least 10 feet (3 m) from the fueling
spot before starting the engine. Wipe off
any spilled fuel before starting your
Check for fuel leakage while refueling
and during operation. If fuel leakage is
found, do not start or run the engine until
the leak is fixed and any spilled fuel has
been wiped away. Take care not to get
fuel on your clothing. If this happens,
change your clothing immediately.
Different models may be equipped with
different fuel caps.
Cap with grip
In order to reduce the risk of fuel spillage
and fire from an improperly tightened
fuel cap, correctly position and tighten
the fuel cap in the fuel tank opening.
To do this with this STIHL
cap, raise the grip on the
top of the cap until it is
upright at a 90 ° angle.
Insert the cap in the fuel
tank opening with the
triangular marks on the grip of the cap
and on the fuel tank opening lining up.
Using the grip, turn the cap firmly
clockwise as far as it will go (approx. a
quarter turn).
Fold the grip flush with the
top of the cap. If the grip
does not lie completely
flush with the cap and the
detent on the grip does
not fit in the
corresponding recess in the filler neck,
the cap is not properly seated and
tightened and you must repeat the
above steps.

I've been meaning to make this cardigan for ages and now the weather is starting to warm up I thought I better get a move on and finish it before it gets too hot to wear it! To make this cardigan you will need about 1.7 m (1 7/8 yd) of a stretchy knit fabric (e.g. jersey), thread to match your fabric, pins and other general sewing tools. I mostly used my overlocker to sew this cardigan, but don't worry, you can just use your normal sewing machine if you don't have an overlocker. If you are using a normal sewing machine, use a shallow zig-zag stitch to sew your seams. This way they will have more give than if sewn with a straight stitch. You will also need a cardigan with sleeves that you like the fit of to use as a starting point for your pattern.
Take a cardigan and pin the sleeve to a large piece of paper. Trace around the sleeve with a pencil.
Trace the upper armhole edge of the sleeve (called the sleeve head) by poking a pin through the seam line at about 5 – 10 mm intervals along the seam line.
Unpin the cardigan from the paper and neaten up your traced lines, also tracing over the line you created with the pin dots. Make sure the the top edge (this is the edge that runs down the arm from the shoulder to the wrist) is a straight line as you will be folding the pattern along this edge.
Add 1.5 cm (5.8″) to the wrist edge, 1 cm (3/8″) to the lower long edge and 1 cm (3/8″) to the armhole edge. Don't add anything to the upper long edge. Fold your pattern along the upper long edge and place a couple of pins through the paper so it doesn't slip around. Then cut around the pattern piece so you have one big sleeve pattern piece.
Fold your fabric over so you have a double layer and pin your pattern to the fabric (up one end so you'll have lots of fabric left over) and make sure the fold down the centre of the sleeve is parallel to the selvedge of the fabric. This ensures the fabric will stretch across the sleeves i.e. around your arms. Cut out a pair of sleeve pieces and add a little triangle shaped notch to the shoulder point – this will be helpful when you're inserting the sleeve into the armhole.
Fold each sleeve in half lengthwise with the right sides of the fabric facing together and lining up the long edges. Pin and stitch along the long edge with 1 cm seam allowance using either an overlocker or your normal sewing machine. If you're using a normal sewing machine, remember to sew with a shallow zig-zag stitch rather than a straight stitch as this will allow the seam to stretch a bit with the fabric.
Now you need to cut two rectangles from your fabric. The first one, measuring 23 cm (9") by the width of your fabric (my fabric is about 130 cm (51") wide), is for the collar. Fold it in half lengthwise with the wrong sides facing together. The other rectangle, measuring 75 cm (29 1/2") by the width of your fabric will form the main part of your cardigan. If you are tall or want a longer cardigan, consider making this rectangle longer than 75 cm.
Take the large rectangle and lay it on your work surface with the right side of the fabric facing upwards. Lay your folded collar piece on top of the other piece along the top edge so the raw edges meet up. Pin the raw edges together. There should be three layers of fabric – two being of the collar piece and one from the main rectangle.
Sew the three layers together, as pinned then fold the collar upwards away from the main rectangle and iron the seam flat.
Fold your cardigan down the centre – this fold is the centre back of the cardigan. Now it's time to work out your armholes. Use my diagram as a guide to draft an oval shape for your armhole, but make sure you measure the upper part of your sleeve and make sure your armhole is the same measurement. They need to fit together! Keep in mind you are measuring the stitching line which is 1 cm (3/8") away from the cut line. The armhole pattern piece we are making is a bit different from a usual pattern piece as the piece is for the negative space – the hole we are cutting out. So once you've drawn an oval that's the same length as the sleeve head you need to add seam allowance. The line you have drawn is the stitching line. Add 1 cm seam allowance around the inside of the oval, making inverted 'v' shaped notches at the top and bottom, then cut out this inner circle.
Now pin the oval onto your folded cardigan using the following photo as a guide. Having the cardigan folded and pinning the pattern piece through both layers makes it easier to ensure the armholes are cut symmetrically. Adjust the distance from the centre back fold depending on your size. If you are unsure, measure a cardigan or top across the back to see how much fabric you need to comfortably go across your back and shoulders.
Using small, sharp scissors cut around the oval very, very neatly. Remember you are cutting out a hole, so the piece you are cutting out will be discarded, but the fabric surrounding the hole is what's important.
Now you have armholes complete with notches to mark where the shoulder point and underarm seam will go. Pin the sleeves into the armholes with the right sides of the fabric facing together. I find the easiest way to do this is to line up the underarm seam and the lower notch and pin with the right sides together then flip the top part over so you can pin the upper notch of the armhole to the upper notch of the sleeve (the shoulder point) and then pin around the rest of the armhole. Sew with 1 cm (3/8") seam allowance and then repeat with the other sleeve.
Now your cardigan has sleeves! All that's left to do is finish off the edges by hemming them (including the sleeve hems) Remember we added 1.5 cm (5/8") seam allowance to the sleeve hems. Fold that up towards the inside of the sleeves and stitch in place. Fold in 1.5 cm all around the front opening edges and the lower hem and stitch in place. (as it's a knit fabric, it shouldn't fray if you don't hem it, but it gives a longer lasting and nicer looking finish if you do). I used a twin needle to hem the edges as it has a bit more give than a regular stitch. I love the draped corners at the front, but for a different look you could even round off the corners. For a polished look, cinch it in at the waist with a narrow belt(like I did in the top photo), or leave it unbelted to feel like you're wearing a cosy blanket!

Your support continues to make progress in the fight against aging possible. The $3.8 million Mprize Fund is a proof of that. Your donations have made several other advances possible.
Dave Gobel, CEO and Founder, is continually on the lookout for other organizations to support as they seek to learn, create and produce products that lead to understanding and increasing longevity.
Dave kicked off Methuselah Foundation Undergraduate Research Initiative (now SENSFAI-U, the undergraduate component of SENS Foundation's Academic Initiative). SENS Foundation itself spun off from Methuselah last year.
Dave was also instrumental in development of The Supercentenarian Research Foundation where he is a member of the Organizing Committee. Exploring research related to the health and longevity of those who live 110 years or greater, they have discovered, based on autopsies, that supers aren't dying from cancer, heart disease, stroke, and Alzheimer's. Most die from a condition extremely rare among younger people, called senile cardiac TTR Amyloidosis.
Methuselah Foundation has helped Halcyon Molecular with a bridge loan and got them the attention of venture capital which brought significant funding and serious management. Halcyon is developing high throughput, low-cost DNA sequencing.
Methuselah Foundation takes its role as a catalyst very seriously. We will continue to seek out promising work and support worthwhile efforts with your help.

FALL RIVER -- Joseph P. Kennedy III, fresh off his primary victory in the fourth congressional district, kicked off his general election campaign Saturday with a raucous rally here, where he took on his Republican opponent for the first time. Kennedy portrayed himself in a speech as a champion for the middle-class and families who are struggling to make ends meet, while he criticized his opponent, Sean Bielat, for seeking to protect the interests of the rich and deep-pocket corporations.

A medical supply office was searched this week and an attorney representing a doctor whose office and home were also searched, says the supply office is the focus of the FBI investigation.
17 News confirmed Ashli Healthcare was searched Tuesday. Although no one would speak on camera, they told 17 News they do business with Dr. Carlos Alvarez, whose home and office were searched two days ago.
Valley Medical Group and Dr. Hemmel Kothary's office in High Grove Medical Center were open Thursday serving clients as usual.
David Torres, an attorney representing Dr. Alvarez, believes the focus of the investigation is medical supply distributor, Ashli Healthcare, which does business with all of the doctors investigated.
"What they are trying to do is there was a relationship between Ashli Medical Group as well as other medical groups, and what they are doing is casting a wide net," said Torres. "This is not to say Ashli did anything wrong at all."
Ashli released a statement saying: "We are fully cooperating with federal investigators and we are confident this will reaffirm our ongoing ethical business practices."
Wednesday night, Dr. Carlos Alvarez appeared on our sister station Telemundo. He had this to say. "Yesterday they showed up to investigate. They didn't give us any details. They just said they came to get documents and registration and they took pictures and info about the office."
Alvarez said his employees were questioned, but agents didn't give a reason for the search.
"I'm a bit angry," said Alvarez continued in Spanish. "It's one of the things I feel, but like I told my daughter and wife and employees, there is no reason to hide, just working on what we do daily."
The FBI will do what they do which, Alvarez suspects, will be more searches in Bakersfield.
"This probably is going to be one of the many investigations they will conduct for many medical organizations, I imagine," said Alvarez.
The FBI would not say when or if more searches would be conducted.

Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has hired Beth Ryan as his Director of Communications, according to a press release published Tuesday afternoon. She starts work on Monday, Feb. 11.
Ryan currently is managing editor of The State Journal, a weekly business paper based here in Charleston. Before landing at the Journal, Ryan worked as a special projects reporter for The Herald-Dispatch newspaper in Huntington.
Deputy Attorney General Richie Heath has served as Morrisey's media contact since he took office last month. That's been a less-than-convenient arrangement for media (and probably for attorney general staff, too) since Heath also had to do lawyer work on top of answering pesky reporters' questions.
Ryan begins her job just in time for the 2013 legislative session, which begins Wednesday, Feb. 13.

I have been writing a weekly newspaper column since 1987.
For 3 years, it ran in the Greeley Tribune. Since then, it has run in various subsidiaries of the Douglas County News Press. I still have most of my columns in digital format.
For many years, I only gave myself one rule: try to work the word "library" into every piece. My intent was to think in public about just what librarianship means at the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st.
There have been many advantages for me. I found that putting library plans out in front of the public, and getting feedback about them, helped me make better decisions. Sometimes, I found that it was very difficult for me to describe those plans or policies -- the kind of thing that makes me realize that they might not be good ideas after all. The weekly discipline of explaining my profession to the public keeps me more mindful, more honest. It also has provided steady visibility for the library and its issues.
March 19, 2003 - Too Much Information
Some 12 years ago, I wrote a professional article that a lot of my colleagues ridiculed.
I was talking about email, then beginning to be hailed as a kind of perfect communication tool, both intimate and immediate.
"Mark my words," I wrote. "Coming tomorrow -- junk email."
OK, I got the name wrong. Today it's called "spam" (after the hilarious Monty Python sketch). But I nailed the idea.
At this moment, the dawn of the 21st century, it is estimated that spam costs corporate America at least $10 billion per year of lost productivity.
Nowadays, many of us also have personal email accounts. It's hard to calculate the personal cost of spam. Certainly, there is some entertainment value. A full 80% of my unsolicited email has to do with increasing the size of various body parts (40% male parts, 40% female). Most of the others have to do with reducing all the rest of me.
Now that's funny, and I'll happily ante up some of my time for a laugh. But not for the same joke, not every day, day after day, week after week, year after year.
Fortunately, what technology hath wrought it can also rend asunder.
Apple's new operating system includes an email enhancement that, in the background, tells the spammer that your address is invalid. Sorry!
Mozilla -- the blindingly fast (and free!) Open Source browser and email program -- is about to offer a similar service. Like the Mac software, it lets you tell it what you think is spam. Correct it for a while. Then let it run. (Incidentally, Mozilla also lets you disable, with one click under your "preferences," those annoying popup ads you get when you're browsing the Internet.)
Lately, I'm investigating options (mostly through another Open Source program called Evolution) to automatically sort my email, to move it from inbox to folder, the folders arranged by how often I need to look at them. And I'm also sending a lot of those emails to a folder I call " spam."
I believe in the value of information. But too much information, flooding my inbox, is just noise.
Sometimes you have to manage your life as if it were a library. You have to categorize, and sort, and assign some value to all the traffic.
I suppose it's sad that much of that email traffic is worthless. But I've concluded that you have a choice. Give your time, give your life, to the importunities of strangers. Or assert the priorities you've so painfully established.
The library itself works hard to winnow the wheat from the chaff. Our online databases, for instance, comprise only the best sources. It's the difference between the authoritative advice of a knowledgeable friend you trust, or a random Google search. It's the difference between email that matters and trash.
It's the difference finally, between meaning and noise.

This caddy is cute and looks great but it was much smaller than I imagined and has shallow sides so it really isn't good for toy storage. Maybe for diapering stuff.

Rated 4 out of 5 by turtlepea76 Stylish storage
Bought this owl caddy to go with our owl-themed nursery. The canvas is quite sturdy and the print is adorable. It's on the small side, but it's the perfect size to hold diapers and wipes, especially when you need to set up multiple changing stations for newborns.

Suzi's Blog
Small Bites Big Sips at Cooking by the Book
When Suzi began Cooking by the Book twenty-four years ago, she offered classes to the public. As time went by, our corporate client base rapidly grew in number. We focused on the corporate side and stopped with the public classes.
That was then, and now is a new world with a new kind of customer. We get requests all the time for events for two or four or six people. People who happen to be looking for a "cooking class" that is different. And fun. And affordable.
Small Bites Big Sips is our innovative answer to your requests for exciting classes.
Here at CBTB, we're turning the tables on tasting classes…literally! Each of our classes will feature a particular Big Sips beverage: Beer, Wine or Spirits. We'll create a superior Small Bites tasting experience paired with each beverage type.
The class will begin with an introductory Big Sips tasting and an overview of the class. Then it's off to the state-of-the-art kitchen, where our Chef will prepare the Small Bites dishes, specifically geared to match the Big Sips beverage. Students may also participate with the simple hands-on food preparations.
Once the kitchen experience has finished, the class will return to the tasting room for the full Small Bites Big Sips pairing. Students will enjoy tapas dishes geared to complement and even amplify the beverage, increase the aromas and enhance all the flavor components.
Each of our class instructors have years of experience to draw from as they guide the discussion. Students will learn about the unique history, ingredients, country of origin, and production techniques.
Grab your schedule! Check out our new class listings at http://www.cookingbythebook.com/cooking-classes/small-bites-big-sips/
We look forward to sipping and nibbling with you. Oh, that first class is Friday, September 14th. Don't wait!

The role of the Government is to give schools the powers they need to provide a safe and structured environment in which teachers can teach and children can learn.
The Government expects:
- all pupils to show respect and courtesy towards teachers and other staff and towards each other
- parents to encourage their children to show that respect and support the school's authority to discipline its pupils
- head teachers to help to create that culture of respect by supporting their staff's authority to discipline pupils and ensuring that this happens consistently across the school
- governing bodies and head teachers to deal with allegations against teachers and other school staff quickly, fairly and consistently in a way that protects the pupil and at the same time supports the person who is the subject of the allegation
- that every teacher will be good at managing and improving children's behaviour.
This advice summarises the legal powers and duties that govern behaviour and attendance in school and explains how they apply to teachers, governing bodies, pupils and parents.

No 3G neither GPS
This question is archived. No new answers are allowed, and only the question's owner may edit it.
Hello, while using my iPad in 3G mode it suddenly shut down and at restart appeared only the message "initialization module failed".
I make a restore with iTunes and reinstall iOs 5.1.1,
but now both the 3G and GPS don't work anymore, and in the options menu the connectivity section disappeared, and the localization service says it only work using wifi crowd-sourced.
So now it seems my 64GB iPad 3G became an iPad Wifi.
Any help to fix it?
Thank you.

The United States has no good options in Syria. But perhaps the least bad option, in the wake of the chemical weapons attack that killed more than 1,000 Syrian people, would be a surgical bombing strike on weapons storage facilities or other military sites.
President Barack Obama understandably has been reluctant to have the U.S. drawn into the civil war in Syria. Neither the rebels nor the regime of Bashar al-Assad is friendly to the West.
The dominant rebel factions have direct links to al Qaeda. If victorious, they could be expected to install a radical Islamist government similar to the Taliban.
Assad has long been antagonistic toward the United States. While tentative steps were taken to open channels between the U.S. and Syria when Assad assumed office on the death of his father, the effort proved fruitless.
Assuming that Assad played a central role in ordering the use of poison gas to kill his own people, how could he possibly think he could remain as the legitimate leader of the country? And if Assad issued those orders, Western forces would be justified in launching a punitive attack against him.
At this point, U.S. officials are virtually certain that either the Syrian government or military officers acting on their own ordered the massacre, which included hundreds of women and children. U.S. intelligence services overheard a phone discussion about the attack between an official at the Syrian Ministry of Defense and the leader of a chemical weapons unit, so there is no chance that rebels were responsible for the attack.
What remains unclear is whether Assad, himself, gave the order, whether there is a standing order to use weapons of mass destruction or whether a high-ranking military officer authorized the attack. Nor can U.S. intelligence ascertain what, exactly, the rationale for the attack was other than perhaps to terrorize the populace.
These questions could play a role in determining whether Obama decides to launch a strike against the regime immediately or whether he will allow United Nations inspectors to complete efforts to collect proof of the use of sarin nerve gas before attacking.
England presented a draft resolution Wednesday to the UN Security Council "authorizing necessary measures to protect civilians" in Syria, including the use of force. While the UN is unlikely to approve an attack on Syria (both Russia and China could be expected to veto such a resolution), Western forces are right to at least go through the motions.
But, as Secretary of State John Kerry noted earlier this week, "there must be accountability for those who would use the world's most heinous weapons against the world's most vulnerable people." In short, Syria should pay a price for ignoring sanctions that have been in place since the end of World War I.
The ban on chemical weapons was observed until Saddam Hussein used poison gas to kill nearly 5,000 Kurdsh people in northern Iraq and injure thousands more in 1988. Now it appears certain that Syria also has used chemical weapons on its own people.
Obama stated at the outset of the Syrian civil war that the use of chemical weapons would constitute the crossing of a "red line" that would bring serious consequences against the perpetrator. Yet despite earlier evidence that gas was used on a smaller scale, Obama was hesitant to act.
Now that the scale of the carnage has increased dramatically, the president is compelled to do something.
Some have urged direct aid to the rebels and perhaps even the involvement of U.S. troops in the fighting. That, we think, would be a grievous mistake.
The United States has only recently extracted itself from Iraq and is quickly winding down the war in Afghanistan, which now ranks as the nation's longest war. Polls clearly show that there would be little public support for another military foray into a Middle Eastern country.
Nor could Obama and his military planners justify direct U.S. intervention in Syria's civil war in terms of U.S. strategic intereests. With both sides hostile to the U.S., the best approach appears to be a protracted stalemate that eventually leads to a negotiated ceasefire.
But a strike against the Assad regime would help restore U.S. credibility that its threats have teeth. And, at the same time, it would serve as punishment for the use of chemical weapons.
Such a strike might not serve a short-term strategic purpose. But it would serve notice that the world will not tolerate the use of weapons of mass destruction, whether they are chemical, biological or nuclear.
Maintaining that standard is in the best long-term interests not only of the United States but also the entire world.

First, Living Social, then Google Offers, and now moms are going after Groupon's business.
The San Francisco-based Plum District, an 8-month old daily offers website focused on moms intends to grow its 100-person sales force by at least 100 this year. "We'll be in multiples of where we are right now by the end of the year," said Megan Gardner, CEO of the company.
The startup, which announced Wednesday that it has raised $8.5 million in funding, focuses its deals on mothers -- an "ignored" segment of the market, according to Gardner -- offering babysitting deals, camp for the kids, discounts at kid-friendly restaurants and other mom-centric offers.
The company tends to hire mothers. Currently, most of the sales force, which is spread out across 20 metro areas nationwide, is comprised of mothers.
"We want the maven moms, the ones who are on Facebook, those with leadership experience and marketing experience," said Gardner. She finds most of her hires through referrals, from current employees or vendor partners.
The work is flexible -- Gardner said many of her salespeople work part-time or from home -- and pays based on commission.

Emmerson Boyce says Wigan will use the international break to their advantage and will be working hard on the training ground.
A number of Latics players will be jetting all around the world over the next week but those who remain back in Wigan will be working hard in training to make sure they are ready for the Swansea game.Boyce felt Wigan were unlucky not to pick up all three points against Everton during Saturday's 2-2 draw but says mistakes were made and they can work to rectify them during the break."It's international week now and that means a lot of the lads flying all around the world," Boyce told the Evening Post. "That makes it hard to analyse Saturday's game, but we'll get plenty of work done on the training ground and try to put right what went wrong."Overall I thought the performance was very good - we created loads of chances, we scored goals when we needed to and we were so close to what would have been a vital win."The positive was that we didn't lose, and we can certainly take heart from much of the performance. We should be able to see out the game for another five minutes, but we couldn't cope."At the end of the day, though, Everton are a good team, they grind out results and that was the case again."

Sage Stossel is a contributing editor at The Atlantic and draws the cartoon feature "Sage, Ink." She is author/illustrator of the graphic novel Starling, and of the children's books On the Loose in Boston and On the Loose in Washington, DC. More
On Election Day in 1996, TheAtlantic.com launched a weekly editorial cartoon feature drawn by Sage Stossel and named (aptly enough) "Sage, Ink." Since then, Stossel's whimsical work has been featured by the New York Times Week in Review, CNN Headline News, Cartoon Arts International/The New York Times Syndicate, The Boston Globe, Nieman Reports, Editorial Humor, The Provincetown Banner (for which she received a 2009 New England Press Association Award), and elsewhere. Her work has also been included in Best Editorial Cartoons of the Year, (2005, 2006, 2009, and 2010 editions) and Attack of the Political Cartoonists. Her children's book, On the Loose in Boston, was published in June 2009.
Sage Stossel grew up in a suburb of Boston and attended Harvard University, where she majored in English and American Literature and Languages and did a weekly cartoon strip about college life, called "Jody," for the Harvard Crimson. From 2004 to 2007, she served as Books Editor of the Radcliffe Quarterly
After college she took what was intended to be a temporary summer position securing electronic rights to articles from The Atlantic's archive for use online. Intrigued by The Atlantic's rich history and the creative possibilities in helping to launch a digital edition of the magazine on the Web, she soon joined The Atlantic full time. As the site's former executive editor, she was involved in everything from contributing reviews, author interviews, and illustrations, to hosting message boards and producing a digital edition of The Atlantic for the Web.
Stossel lives in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

For the first time since the nationwide protests agains fuel subsidy removal and fuel price hikes, soldiers were deployed to monitor the demonstrations. They formed barricades at key protest grounds in major cities, including the Gani Fawehinmi park at Ojota and Ikorodu road in Lagos, which has seen a number of procession marches in the past week.
The deployment of troops occured after President Jonathan announced the new pump price of petrol, now N97 per litre and demanded that labour call of the strike and return to work.
Many Nigerians who went out to protest today condemned the excessive use of force by the government. Speaking on Channels Television, Mr. Issa Aremu, vice president of the Nigeria Labour Congress commended the military personnels who did not follow orders to the letter, saying the orders of the military had been to shoot anyone who went past the barricade.
Soldiers did shoot to disperse the gathering crowd of protesters at Ikorodu road, sending thousands running. State Security Service spokeswoman Marliyn Ogar denied that the purpose of the military deployment had been to intimidate protesters.
In an interview with Channels TV correspondent, she said the President had decided to deploy troops after receiving intelligence reports indicating the possibility of mayhem in certain parts of the country in relation to the fuel subsidy removal.
These photos, courtesy of Channels TV, show the situation on ground in Lagos today.

Rooms were very nice, clean
That we weren't informed that we would be staying across the street in the back, in an alley. Felt odd in the beginning
Absolutely beautiful historic hotel that was close to Bourbon Street and all of the festivities yet it was quiet to relax and sleep in. Beds were very comfortable, modern updated bathroom and very quaint. Loved the furnishings and antiques in the lobby and entry ways.
No elevator which made it tough to get all the luggage to the second floor but that was only a minor inconvenience. Everything else in the hotel made up for it!

Lighting in room
I would have loved this place but, it was not cleaned. I asked for it to be cleaned...never really happened.
Management asked housekeeping to fix the issue. Housekeeping didn't. We talked with 4 different desk people about this issue. It was upsetting to find our stay disturbed by smell and cleanliness issues.
Staff were very friendly and were very helpful ! Sandy in reception made reservations for our group when seeking somewhere to eat breakfast ! Beds very comfortable , room cosy and clean and Hotel very quaint and cute !
Good location in French Quarter - quiet area but anything / everything a close walk.
Booked as a group of couples, however 1 couple's room 'outside' and across the back street. They were then charged more for their stay.
charming historic house with great courtyard
stayed in room 211 which is more like a broomcloset than a room; could hardly open the door; had friends there and they had a nice room for the same price. if you're gonna rent that room, it should be for pets
It was just relaxing,quite and friendly
Older hotel updated very nice, the location, the price was reasonable.
No coffee in the room
location and set up
bathroom could have been a little cleaner with less hairs left behind
The location is great and the rooms are fine.
The price was too much for the service, which was only fair. I'm not sure when the Lamothe house stopped doing continental breakfast, but it seems like the prime hike coincided with that.
staff concerns and help.
This place was amazing, I loved the vintage historic feel I got walking in the front doors! Deffinatly booking again
Great value. Good location
I love the location, style of the hotel, pool, spa, wi-fi, garden area and the bed was very comfortable. I would stay there again:-)
The frame under the bed sticks out and we got a few good bruised from that. NO COFFEE in the room..., should have a small table/counter/something in the corner in the bathroom to hold cosmetics, shaving kit.. etc. Keep the pool open a little later.
Location was great near the French Market and Royal Street, very easy to get around and just far enough from Bourbon St to avoide the late night/early morning party animals, and there are a lot! Our room was fabulous but over the road from our friends whose room was much smaller with no windows. Each room is different so they struggle with consistency/equity in accommodations, however bed really comfy, room clean and fresh with lovely olde worlde fittings. Place has great character. Raney on Front Desk was the most helpful person we have met on our travels. Suggested, booked and followed up to make sure we enjoyed. Would definitely stay here again, just not in back street units or 119.
The noisy kids (friends of manager) that partied till 4am on our first night. Our friends didn't get much sleep and manager not too interested in taking any more complaints or compensating them like they did other guests. Poor form! Also we had booked together in January, so to be split up in May was. Of fair. Again, manager not interested in finding better room for our friends.
Excellent location, nice staff and good value. This hotel offers no breakfast or bar or mini bar BUT all that is outside the front door.
The staff and location were excellent
Bathrooms were a bit cramped
Good location if you are in nola for the Jazz Fest and also if you want to get close to the Frenchmen Street, walking distance for almost everything, building ok, and as I booked very very early the price was nice. They received and stored some purchases I had done on internet which was kind.
1) I spent 10 days and they didn't clean my room even for one day, they just exchanged the towels, but never swept or washed the floor even after I have asked at least 4 times. It was a little disgusting. 2) My room was FULL of bugs. As soon as I arrived I had to go out and buy flying killers and bug repellents cause otherwise I would have more than 80 bug bites. 3) The room is very small. As I was a lonely traveller it was not a problem at all, but I don't recomend for more than one or two (maximum).
We loved the location of the hotel, close to Frenchmen Street and also to Bourbon Street and the water front area.
great location nice room nice staff
upstairs lobby and some rooms across the street from property bit funky but expected funkiness as part of eclectic appeal would have been GREAT with a bed AND breakfast but decent value nonetheless
Noisy room 115
Loved the location of the hotel, the old antique feel of the hotel but the contemporary style of rooms, very clean...will definitely come back.
We were in room 116,loved the location..but would have loved to see a sitting chair and a full length mirror, besides that loved it.
staff and the cleaness of the room

Proclaim Awards on Hiaitus for 2008
Due to several factors, including the reorganization of the staff at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops and the proposed visit by Pope Benedict XVI in mid-April to the United States, the Communications offices of the USCCB will not be awarding Proclaim Awards this year. We hope to re-evaluate the program in the second half of 2008.
We appreciate everyone's understanding in this. The decision to put the awards on hiatus in no way reflects the quality of the work that has been presented in the past. Many wonderful and enriching programs are being developed across our country, and we are grateful to those who put in extraordinary efforts to "proclaim the good news" using today's media.
Helen Osman
Secretary of Communications
US Conference of Catholic Bishops
The Proclaim Awards were established to recognize outstanding achievements in diocesan communications. Each year, in dioceses across the country, Catholic communications personnel produce an amazing diversity of quality television, radio, print, and internet products, all with the common purpose of proclaiming the Good News. They stretch already tight budgets and get the most out of already overworked staffs to create programming that will educate and entertain; inform, as well as inspire.
Although their efforts are supported by their local share of the CCC Collection, the Proclaim Awards give us an opportunity to say thank you to these dedicated people, to give them the recognition they deserve before their colleagues and co-workers, and to highlight the fine work they are doing for the Church.

February 3, 2005
by Claudia Rosett
The interim report on the United Nations' scandal-wracked oil-for-food program is to be released today, according to the U.N.-authorized Independent Inquiry Committee, led by a former Federal Reserve chairman, Paul Volcker.
With controversy swirling around the U.N.'s relief program for Saddam Hussein's Iraq, Mr. Volcker's interim report will offer the first findings of this investigation, authorized last March when Secretary-General Annan, after a long bout of stonewalling, finally conceded that there might have been quite a lot of "wrongdoing" under the oil-for-food program.
By now, the credibility of both the U.N. and Mr. Volcker are on the line. From some of the eight or more other investigations currently under way into the oil-for-food program have already come reports of billions grafted out of relief funds by Saddam under U.N. oversight, allegations of complicity and even graft among the world body's own officials, calls from a number of members of Congress for Mr. Annan to resign, and last month's plea bargain by a naturalized American businessman, Iraqi-born Samir Vincent, who has admitted to taking millions from Saddam in exchange for lobbying U.N. and American officials to mitigate or lift U.N. sanctions imposed on Iraq from Saddam's invasion of Kuwait in 1990 until his overthrow in 2003.
Mr. Volcker has for months now been telegraphing the gist of this interim report, along the way defusing a certain amount of potentially explosive material. In early January, his committee leaked word that there would be "no smoking gun" - just before releasing 55 previously secret U.N. internal audit reports and three summary reports on the oil-for-food program that documented waste, mismanagement, and violations of U.N. procedure by the U.N.'s own secretariat. In a series of statements in recent months, Mr. Volcker has suggested that Mr. Annan's secretariat bore no significant responsibility for the oil smuggling that by the estimates of Senate investigators accounted for more than half of Saddam's $17 billion in illicit income during the oil-for-food era, between 1997 and 2003. For example, in an interview aired in December by the U.S.-based Arabic-language TV station Al Hurrah, Mr. Volcker said, "The big figures that you see in the press, which are sometimes labeled oil for food - the big figures are smuggling, which took place before the oil-for-food program started and it continued while the oil-for-food program was in place."
All of which raises a number of questions to which close watchers of this scandal will be looking in the interim report.
One is whether Mr. Volcker, who has promised a "considered answer" to how well the United Nations's auditing process worked, will explain why he does not regard the U.N. audits in themselves as a whole battery of smoking guns, detailing as they do a program that involved, according to a briefing paper released by Mr. Volcker himself last month along with the audits, "many instances of shortcomings in management and control procedures, violations of U.N. procedures, verifiable monetary losses, agreements to implement recommendations that were chronically violated, and other serious irregularities."
In this program, publicly praised by Mr. Annan when the U.N. role came to an end in November 2003, it appears that for critical aspects of the program, such as the oil and relief contracts, there were no systematic audits at all. Many will be looking to see whether, or how, Mr. Volcker will explain how it happened that the U.N. external audits, performed by a revolving trio of U.N. member states and chaired during the final year of Saddam's regime by France, evidently failed to stop or even expose the grand-scale corruption that dogged the program.
There is also the question of whether Mr. Annan himself had enough hands-on involvement with oil for food to have spotted abuses within the program. Since the scandal broke, following the fall of Saddam in 2003, Mr. Annan has professed himself surprised. So many will be watching to see whether Mr. Volcker takes into account such U.N. records as Mr. Annan's own report to the Security Council, dated March 10, 2000, which tells a different story.
By the time of that report, midway through the program, Saddam's corruption was rampant, but Mr. Annan made no mention of it. Instead, he wrote at length about his close supervision of oil for food, which in 1997 he had consolidated into the Office of the Iraq Program, reporting directing to him. Mr. Annan said he had directed oil for food "to serve as a focal point for tracking and coordinating" everything from the relief goods, funds, and contract approvals to "the processing of letters of credit, procurement, delivery, authentication and quality checks performed by the independent inspection agents at points of entry, as well as the distribution of supplies in Iraq." Mr. Annan went on to write: "I have kept under constant review the implementation of my recommendations to the Council and its Committee and to the Government of Iraq. I have also monitored the directives addressed to the Office of the Iraq Programme as well as those addressed to other Secretariat departments and agencies."
The matter of Saddam's oil smuggling raises yet more questions. Both Mr. Annan's staff and Mr. Volcker, in taking the line that smuggling fell outside the purview of oil for food, have evidently failed to review the U.N.'s own records. To smuggle billions worth of oil, Saddam had to first be able to produce it. And it was none other than Mr. Annan who, from 1997 on, went repeatedly to bat before the Security Council to argue that Saddam should be allowed to import oil equipment and expand production. Mr. Annan's argument over and over, as he said in a letter dated April 15, 1998, to the Security Council, was that Iraq's oil industry was in "a lamentable state," and that unless the Security Council approved Mr. Annan's recommendation that Saddam be allowed to refurbish his oil infrastructure, it was doubtful that Iraq would be able to produce even enough oil to pay for relief purchases approved under oil for food.
When Mr. Annan became secretary-general in January 1997,oil for food was a temporary program, allowing Saddam to sell limited amounts of oil strictly to buy relief supplies for the people of Iraq, with no provision for oil parts. By 1999, Mr. Annan's recommendations to the Security Council had resulted in more than $1.2 billion a year in oil-for-food income pouring, with U.N. approval, into investments in Saddam's oil production. This oil-for-food investment policy coincided precisely with the huge rise in Saddam's oil smuggling, between about 2000 and 2002, shortly before Saddam's overthrow by coalition forces in 2003.
This oil-for-food inflection point, marking a huge up tick in Saddam's illicit fortunes, turns up clearly not only in the findings of Charles Duelfer's Iraq Survey Group report, released last fall, but also in estimates released last October by investigators for Senator Coleman's permanent subcommittee on investigations. By calculations of the Senate investigators, Saddam during the entire period of sanctions, from about 1991 through 2003, smuggled out an estimated $13.6 billion worth of oil via neighboring countries such as Syria, Jordan, Turkey, and Iran. But it was during the oil-for-food era, covering the years between 1997 and 2003, that this smuggling hit its peak, averaging $1.6 billion a year, or more than double what it was in the era between 1991 and 1996, before oil for food, and before Mr. Annan's push to revive Saddam's oil production.
It might be argued that Mr. Annan in gauging the needs of Saddam's oil industry, relied on the findings of oil experts provided by a Dutch company, Saybolt Nederland BV, which also handled the inspection of oil exports under the U.N. program. But this leads back to the questions raised by the audits, of how well Mr. Annan actually managed the program he claimed he was so carefully monitoring. Among the audits that Mr. Annan refused to release to Congress - until Mr. Volcker released them last month - was one of the Saybolt contract. The auditors noted that "No procedures had been established to monitor the services of the Contractor," and the oil-for-food office "had not been scrutinizing the curriculum vitae of the Contractor's staff effectively, even though they are required to do sounder the Contract."
Yet another intriguing subject is the question of how much of the money that flowed into the oil-for-food program was spent on U.N. administration and oversight. The official figure to date is that from oil sales totaling about $64 billion, the U.N. secretariat collected 2.2%, or about $1.4 billion, which went to cover U.N. costs for overseeing the relief program; plus another 0.8%, or about $500 million, went to pay for weapons inspections (though for four of the seven years of oil for food, there were no weapons inspections).
According to a document seen recently by this reporter, the United Nations may have collected more than that. In a memo dated April 25, 2003, just after the fall of Saddam, the oil-for-food program executive officer, Maurice Critchley, informed U.N. agencies operating in Iraq that funding for some of the relief operations would be provided "at a standard 7% of programme delivery," which would be charged against the funds earmarked for humanitarian goods. So out of the money meant to help the people of Iraq, how much did the world body actually collect for itself - 2.2%, or another 7% on top of that?
Further questions range from how the secretary-general apparently failed to discover that his own son, Kojo Annan, was receiving payments for the duration of the program from a key oil-for-food contractor, Cotecna Inspection Services SA, to why the U.N. failed to audit more than $100 billion worth of letters of credit handled by the oil-for-food program's chief banker, BNP Paribas, which might have disclosed links to the front companies that were an integral part of oil-for-food corruption.
Finally, there is the question of why Mr. Annan to this day has refused to open the United Nations' books. In a speech delivered Tuesday, an American assistant treasury secretary, Juan Zarate,(who has been leading one of the hunts for Saddam's secret assets), referred to the "sham contracts, kickbacks, falsified export documentation, and money laundering designed to deceive U.N. inspectors and deliver, among other things, missile components, surveillance equipment, and tank barrels to the former Iraqi regime."
Mr. Zarate added, "This abuse of the international financial system and of the OFF [oil-for-food] program allowed the arming and enrichment of the Hussein regime. It may also now be part of the financial backing that now fuels the Iraqi insurgency and terrorism inside Iraq."
As Mr. Volcker's committee prepares to release its interim report tomorrow, the big question is not only what went wrong under oil for food, but what's wrong with the organization that spawned such a program.
