Samantha Pagni
Samantha Pagni began her career in art as a community arts program instructor and middle school art teacher. When she wanted to add metalsmithing classes to her curriculum, she took a course in beginning jewelry and was instantly hooked. Inspired by student response, practice and lots of mistakes in and out of her classroom, she continued to add to her bag of tricks & passed along a passion for jewelry to many budding art students along the way. Much of what Samantha continues to create in her studio today is inspired by her everyday adventures with her own kids. She thinks personalized jewelry designs should be meaningful to the wearer, attractive to the admirer, and still unique enough to make a bold statement. After all, no two people are exactly alike, and their jewelry shouldn't be either. Samantha lives with her biggest fans (husband and two young children) in Charlottesville, VA, a place where support for local artists and friendly people continue to amaze her daily.

Blepharoplasty removes excess skin and/or fat in the upper or lower eyelid. Prior to surgery, an eye examination may be performed by an eye specialist. Visual field testing may be recommended to determine whether blepharoplasty would be cosmetic (to improve appearance) or functional (to improve vision). If a person's vision is limited due to excess upper eyelid skin, insurance may provide coverage.
Blepharoplasty may be done alone or in combination with other facial cosmetic procedures.
The surgery is done most commonly under local anesthesia (often with intravenous sedation medication); sometimes surgery is performed under general anesthesia, particularly if combined with other cosmetic facial procedures. This procedure is often performed on an outpatient basis, although occasionally an overnight hospital stay may be recommended if surgery is performed in conjunction with other procedures. Bruising and swelling are common following surgery, and application of cold to the surgical sites is generally recommended following surgery. A postoperative visit is often recommended within the first week or two after surgery.
This procedure is offered by specialists in Ophthalmology, Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery (Otorhinolaryngology) and Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.

Thanks to you, NMPolitics.net has a freelance budget
I've already started assigning stories related to the primary election to a couple of freelance reporters. You'll see them in the coming weeks.
Thanks to the donations of 150 of you, NMPolitics.net now has money to pay freelancers to write news articles.
That will take some pressure off me, which I needed to happen. More importantly, it means more diversity of voices in NMPolitics.net's reporting than before.
Our fundraising drive ends today. We've raised $12,610 – 70 percent of our $18,000 goal. While we didn't quite reach our goal, which would have allowed us to hire a reporter outright, we did raise enough funds for solid freelance reporting.
And we exceeded the amount we raised last year. We also increased the number of donors during this year's fundraising drive.
This is great news for NMPolitics.net, because it shows us that our work is valued in New Mexico. Thank you again for your support!

When a call to the Jellico Police Department warned of an intoxicated person walking in the road, officers responded immediately earlier this month.
"The caller advised Jellico dispatch of a lady that had nearly been struck by a construction vehicle coming from the welcome center," said Jellico Police Chief Chris Anderson.
Detective J.J. Hatmaker was dispatched to Holiday Lane and questioned Carla Edwina Douglas, 27, about the allegations.
At the Monday night LaFollette City Council meeting Clyde Douglas addressed the council about construction on the Pleasant Ridge Bridge.
Douglas, a resident of the area, agreed the bridge was dangerous. However, he said straightening the bridge could make the bridge similar to a racetrack from one curve to the next.
Douglas questioned the council about safety precautions to slow traffic in the instance the bridge was straightened.
When Jeffrey T. Smith, 40, heard deputies were looking for him in response to a burglary, he did the right thing. Smith allegedly bought back the television he pawned and returned it.
Smith, 40, of 398 Shady Cove Road, Caryville, was camping at Mountain Lake Marina when a nearby camper trailer was allegedly broken into, said Campbell County Sheriff Gary Perkins.
The hard work and dedication of officers and firemen are rarely observed.
But the members of the Campbell County Masonic Lodge are changing that with a recent appreciation day held at Campbell County High School on Saturday.
Warm weekend temperatures brought many people outside. This included almost 80 volunteers who donned their work gloves on Saturday to cleanup the White Bridge area.
The group of adult volunteers, Girl Scout Troops 207 and 127 and County Mayor William Baird joined forces to tackle the almost impossible endeavor of ridding the White Bridge Park of trash.
Among the countless bags of trash and tires, volunteers tore down several dwellings that were erected by campers.

The Economist
who recently became America's representative to the United Nations, is not over-fond of his newplace of work. He belongs to the school of thought that sees the UN not as a temple to international co-operationbut as a polyglot talking shop, with exorbitant Manhattan parking privileges."The currency of pledges from the international community is by now so severely debased by non-delivery that it iswidely perceived as worthless." That is the kind of sentiment one might associate with George Bush's man in NewYork, but those are not his words. Surprisingly, perhaps, they come instead from the latest Human DevelopmentReport, just published by the United Nations Development Programme.The report appeared a week before the UN's big summit in New York on September 14th-16th, and five years afterworld leaders minted a new set of pledges to free their fellow man from "the abject and dehumanising conditions"of extreme poverty. The pledges were translated into eight "Millennium Development Goals" (MDGs), which aim tohalve poverty and hunger, enrol every child in primary school, spare mothers and their infants from untimelydeaths, thwart infectious diseases, save the environment and forge a "global partnership" in pursuit ofdevelopment. The first MDG—cutting extreme poverty to half its 1990 level by 2015—may well be met in globalterms, the Human Development Report says. But there the good news ends. On present trends, the reportconcludes, most poor countries will miss almost all the goals, in some cases by "epic margins" (see table). Extremepoverty, for example, will not be halved in any region except East Asia. The report calculates that by 2015 380mpoverty-stricken people, most of them Africans, will remain in the condition from which the UN's members promised to liberate them.If the value of such pledges is debased, how should the world respond? One way to restore the value of a currencyis to back it with something tangible. This is what the Human Development Report proposes. It says that richcountries should offer more aid to poor ones (see article) and less to their own farmers. It also urges governmentsin poor countries to tackle the inequalities within their own societies. Only 40% of Pakistan's primary-school pupilsare girls, for example.But another way to restore the value of a currency is to restrict its supply. This is the route Mr Bolton seems toprefer. In recent weeks he has proposed excising all mention of the MDGs from the final declaration, removingfrom circulation the pledges the Human Development Report fears are now perceived as worthless.Mr Bolton's editing provoked dismay. On August 26th, he wrote to his peers at the UN "to eliminate any possiblemisunderstanding". America supports the development goals of the Millennium Declaration, he insisted, but it doesnot support the Millennium Development Goals. Confused? Mr Bolton explains that America signed up to the goalsexpressed in the 2000 Millennium Declaration—which include most of the headline targets such as halving povertyand hunger by 2015, promoting universal primary schooling, and cutting child mortality by two-thirds—but not tothe full panoply of indicators and schedules formulated by the UN secretariat the following year.The chief appeal of the MDGs is precisely that they convert high rhetoric into hard numbers. But most of thetargets are less rigorous than they look. There is, for example, no way of knowing whether several of them arebeing met or not. In a forthcoming paper in Public Library of Science Medicine, an academic journal, Amir Attaranof the University of Ottawa points out that only one African country (Mauritius) registers births and deathsaccording to UN standards, and that no country regularly measures how many people are newly infected bytuberculosis. In July 2000, he says, a scientist concluded that it was not possible, in general, to measure thenumber of new cases of malaria. These shortcomings will prove increasingly embarrassing to the UN, Mr Attaranpredicts. As 2015 approaches, people will want to know whether the MDGs have been met, and the UN will not beable to tell them. Indeed, the UN is already quite defensive. Mr Attaran quotes a UN memo, circulated a year ago,which cautioned that next week's summit "should not be distracted by arguments over the measurement of theMDGs".One target that can be measured is the 0.7% of GDP which rich countries are supposed to devote to foreign aid.Many donors have promised "efforts" to reach the target, but only five have met it. Mr Bolton does not intend evento try. "The United States has consistently opposed numerical aid targets from their inception in the 1970s," hewrote to his UN colleagues.But Jeffrey Sachs, the economist who is the MDGs' chief intellectual sponsor, thinks the 0.7% target now has morethan history to recommend it. Suppose, he says, we gave the money needed to reach the poverty line to everyonebelow it. How much would it take?Martin Ravallion and his colleagues at the World Bank put the international poverty line at $1.08 per day,measured in 1993 purchasing-power parity dollars. They estimate that in 2001, 1.1 billion people fell short of thisline, by $113 on average. Giving $113 a year to 1.1 billion people would cost $124 billion. As Mr Sachs points out,this is little more than 0.6% of the combined GDP of the OECD's 22 donor countries, measured in the samepurchasing-power parity dollars. Thus the promise to devote 0.7% of GDP to fighting poverty has a theoreticalrationale today that it did not have when first proposed in 1970. With an aid budget that size, the "poverty gap"could in principle be filled. Mr Sachs's thought-experiment is intended as no more than an "eye-opening" illustration. But it is nonethelessmisleading, argues Surjit Bhalla, a former World Bank economist who now runs Oxus Fund Management, a hedgefund. As Mr Bhalla points out, the "dollars" used when measuring poverty around the world are not the dollarsgiven in aid. The first is a unit of purchasing power. The second is a unit of currency, which has varying purchasingpower depending on where it is spent and what it is spent on. As Mr Bhalla points out, a dollar earned in Americabuys much more in Ethiopia or India than in Japan or America itself.So how many dollars would have filled the poverty gap in 2001? Not $124 billion, Mr Bhalla reckons, but only$25.1 billion. In fact the rich world gave more than $46 billion in aid that year, and has been giving more thanenough to fill the poverty gap in almost every year since 1990.Unfortunately, a victory over poverty cannot be so easily purchased. The rich world cannot pour a given amount ofmoney into one end of an MDG pipeline and expect to see, emerging from the other, a predictable number ofpeople freed from destitution and disease.The global targets the world set for itself five years ago did not emerge from the bottom up, as the sum of whatmight be feasible in each poor country. They were instead imposed from the top down. Their fit is thus often ratherawkward. Thanks to its rapid economic growth, China has already met the goal of halving poverty, more than adecade early, while sub-Saharan Africa is likely to be generations late. Of course, ambition is a good thing if itencourages countries, rich and poor, to redouble their efforts. But in Africa's case, efforts must be quadrupled orquintupled. That is a promise the international community cannot possibly keep, and so was perhaps unwise to make

A few months ago I decided that I had gotten good enuogh at my funboard to transition down to a shortboard. So I started using my neighbors 6'3 spider board. After a weak or to of learning to catch waves and stand up on the board I've been able to ride it fine. At my current level I can do some basic turns and cutbacks and I feel comfortable in up to a couple feet overhead surf. I can handle close to double overhead but I get pretty nervous in that size surf and I cant really do much on it except catch it and ride down the line. I am 14 years old 5'7'' and 110 lb.s
My problem now is that my the bord my neighbor gave me is pretty old and yellowed and I am wanting to get something thats newer and more tailored to my dementions and skill level. What I would like is suggestions for a board, either a particular model or just dimentions, and if dementions what price range is resonable for someone of mhy skill level to pay for a board

The trial of accused Miami cop killer Dennis Escobar took a stunning twist Tuesday when lawyers revealed that a 25-year-old police audio tape had surfaced that could taint the suspect's confession.
The unmarked cassette tape, discovered in an evidence box Sunday night, appears to depict Escobar telling a Miami homicide detective that he wanted to talk to his lawyer.
The encounter contradicts the detective's long-held story that Escobar, while in a jail hospital bed in April 1988, agreed to speak with him if he returned the following week. Escobar, prosecutors said, confessed in detail three days later to the murder of Miami Officer Victor Estefan.
The tape, which was immediately turned over to Estefan's attorney Monday, has delivered enough of a blow to prosecutors' case that they offered Escobar a deal: plead guilty and accept life in prison over a possible death sentence.
Escobar and his attorney, Phillip Reizenstein, will announce Wednesday morning whether they'll accept the plea offer or ask the judge to throw out the confession.
Testimony in the long-awaited trial began last week. Jurors have been asked to return Wednesday afternoon.
Escobar, 52, is accused of fatally shooting Estefan after the veteran officer pulled him and his brother, Douglas Escobar, over in a stolen Mazda in Little Havana in March 1988.
Douglas Escobar, who's still awaiting trial in Miami-Dade, is accused of ordering his brother to shoot. At the time, Douglas Escobar was wanted for armed robbery.
The Escobars originally were convicted and sentenced to death. But the Florida Supreme Court threw out the convictions in 1997, saying the brothers should have been tried separately.
At the time, the high court declined to throw out Dennis Escobar's confession, but did chastise Miami homicide detectives for making "various misrepresentations of fact" during their interview with him.
The Escobars fled to California after the police shooting, where they were wounded in a shoot-out with highway patrol troopers about 180 miles north of Los Angeles.
A passenger in the car told authorities that the Escobars admitted to killing a Miami police officer.
Within hours of the revelation, Miami homicide detectives Jorge Morin and Bruce Roberson flew to California to interview the men as they lay in jail hospital beds.
The detectives, along with California investigators, approached Dennis Escobar on Friday April 29, 1988. Morin claimed that he read him his Miranda rights, which informs a suspect that he can remain silent.
Over the course of decades of court hearings, Morin always claimed that Escobar agreed to speak without a lawyer — but only if the detectives returned the following Monday.
That day, the detectives returned and again informed Escobar of his right to remain silent. He agreed, and denied involvement in the case.
But as they left the jail facility, Escobar had corrections officers hail Morin and Roberson to return to the hospital room. In that second encounter, Escobar denied being in the stolen car, blaming his brother. Again, the detectives left.
Corrections officers again stopped Morin and Roberson before they left, saying Escobar had agreed to talk once more. In that third interview, Escobar admitted to shooting the Miami cop on his brother's order.
Miami detectives then tracked down the stolen car used in the shooting, finding Douglas Escobar's fingerprint inside.

Where Are They Now? Pop's Class of 1990
Find out what Vanilla Ice, Bell Biv Devoe, Nelson and more are up to these daysThe Class of 1990
Nobody realized it at the time, but 1990 marked the end of a long musical era. The rock world was still ruled by the likes of Motley Crue and Poison, while the biggest rappers were Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. Nobody knew that grunge and gangsta rap were about to hit and completely change the game. It was the year of the New Kids On The Block, Paula Abdul and Warrant's "Cherry Pie." This would all seem hopelessly dated in just a few short months – but at the time, people were living like the 1980s would never end. Click through to catch up on ten acts who ruled the charts in 1990 and find out what they're up to these days.

Every Sunday, Harvard pre-med student Ryan Christ goes to a Roslindale nursing home to visit the woman he calls his mentor, an 85-year-old physician named Sofia Itkis. Once, she mentioned something Christ really took to heart: She said there were a lot of people with Alzheimer's disease on her floor who could use someone to talk to. It was particularly poignant since Itkis has Alzheimer's herself. Christ launched the Alzheimer's Buddies program to pair students and patients.

Iceland used Facebook to rewrite its constitution!
In 2011, Iceland finally took on the task of rewriting its constitution as it had been hoping to do for many years, but had never got around to doing. When Iceland broke from Denmark in 1944, it merely took the Danish constitution and made minor changes. For example, the title of king was changed to president.
The Icelandic people were driven to change their constitution after their financial troubles in 2008. Their currency, the krona, last values and banks failed. The hope was that with some reformation and checks and balances another financial breakdown could be prevented.
The actual draft of the new constitution was being written by 25 people as part of a council. The council put their draft on Facebook for users to make suggestions about amendments and to have debates with one another about the constitution. They also streamed the proceedings of the council not only on their website, but also on Facebook.
The writing of the constitution took influence from all those on social media. The finished result came from the combined efforts of those 25 council member, Facebook, Twitter, and other social media. Do you think politics will flow more onto social media than it already has?

Orthodox Christian Fellowship
The Texas A&M OCF chapter has had an active and fruitful spring, especially during Great Lent, with activities helping the group to grow in many ways.
In keeping with the Lenten goals of striving to grow in prayer and worship, our regular meetings have included communal meals held after Presanctified Liturgy services at a local parish. All the members are very grateful for the generous support of parents from parishes around the state of Texas that have provided the financial support for these meals!
Lent is also a time to share with others, and members of the chapter participated in the Aggie "Big Event" program, a university-wide service project in which students go out into the local community to help others in need. This year, the OCFers worked at the home of a local resident to help with some home maintenance chores. The chapter also has a big project coming up, as the Aggie OCF is organizing the regional retreat for next fall, and the student leaders have already begun working on this exciting task.

To be able to board the flight that you booked, check-in at the desk of your airline. We recommend that you inquire about the official final Check-in times early from your airline or your travel agent. By the way: If your flight leaves very early in the morning, with some airlines you can also check-in already the evening before. To check-in you require your identification card or a valid passport as well as a visa depending on the country of destination. Naturally you also need your flight tickets. You then check-in your entire baggage, with the exception of your hand luggage, and receive a boarding card. Your reserved seat is marked on this as well as, in most cases, also the gate to which you then proceed. |

Senator Rand Paul Lays It Down Like Every Republican Should
Posted on | February 21, 2013 | 18 Comments
by Smitty
The GOP should be firmly on #OccupyResoluteDesk's sad little case just like this, 24/7/365:
@4:36 "This is the emotionalism that's always used to argue against any cuts."
Paul invites the question: just why are the bulk of other elected Republicans not stepping up to the plate?
via The Examiner
Update: Geraghty at NRO:
Here's the 3 by 5 index card version of what the GOP's message on sequestration ought to be:
- Our current level of spending is unsustainable. Spending must go down. Period.
- This is a 2 percent cut [in spending growth].
- Sure, if we in the Republican Party had complete control of the government, we would be implementing the cuts differently. But we don't.
- Congress can only appropriate funds; it doesn't run the departments and agencies that spend the money. That's the power and responsibility of the executive branch.
- If the Obama administration's response to a 2 percent cut is really to let all the criminals out of the jails and end food safety inspections, then it is no longer disputable that he's a Stuttering Cluster-you-know-what of a Miserable Failure.

How about the "anal tatoos" story-link in the corner? WTF
I didn't see any link for anal tattoos. Wtf? Why?
This is satire. G17 is the Brazilian version of the Onion.

Concert review — Punch Brothers at Virginia Tech
By Tad Dickens | 777-6474
There are at least two things to know up front about Punch Brothers. First, the band is full of goofballs. Second, the band takes its music altogether seriously.
To the first point: Deep into a nearly two-hour set at Virginia Tech's Burruss Auditorium on Wednesday night, a female voice from far back in a crowd estimated at 1,300 shouted: "I love you, Chris!" One might have presumed that she was hollering at frontman/lead singer/mandolinist Chris Thile.
But Thile immediately turned to his right, where guitarist/harmony singer Chris Eldridge stood. They looked at each other with semi-randy mirth. They high-fived, to laughs from the crowd and their bandmates.
"Oh boy, that was inappropriate," Thile said, before taking it a step further. "Which Chris do you want? Hell, you can have us both."
To the second point: This is an act that can work genres ranging from Johann Bach to Bill Monroe – and that was just the encore. These brothers are steeped in bluegrass but with deep knowledge of practically every other musical style.
When it wasn't covering the likes of Josh Ritter's darkly beautiful "Another New World," the band mined last year's CD "Who's Feeling Young Now" and EP "Ahoy!"
With "Movement and Location," "Who's Feeling Young Now" and "Patchwork Girlfriend," the band has combined many stylistic elements into a pop-rock and sometimes goof-goth brew that suggests it is developing a genre of its own.
And while everyone in the band – Thile, Eldridge, banjoist Noam Pikelny, violinist Gabe Witcher and bassist Paul Kowart – can and did solo like cliche-free beasts, the band played tick-tight, with a multi-layered, harmonic intensity that only comes through countless hours of group and individual rehearsal.
Thile was the most physically dynamic, strutting around like the drunken spawn of a rooster and peacock. But he rarely missed a note, and his voice, a tenor that rises high into falsetto, has strengthened while retaining a wistful quality.
Eldridge and Witcher often harmonized spookily behind him. And Witcher shone with his lead vocal on "This Girl," from "Who's Feeling Young."
Punch Brothers went back to 2010 disc "Antifogmatic," with the dark pop of "Missy" and rollicking newgrass of "Rye Whiskey." And at the end of the night, the band unplugged, walked to the front of the stage and played Bill Monroe's "Blue Night." It filled the room and stuck in the ears afterward.

Good GPU on a budgetPros: Easy to install, the fan is quiet unless you crank it up manually. Runs cool. Funky looking heat sink cover but looks cool none the less. No external power needed. Another great product for XFX plus I got a $20 rebate that I didn't know about at the time of purchase, definite PLUS!!! Cons: OC'ing is limited, you can do it if you what to take the time, BUT just know that it is very LIMITED as far as options. Fan gets really loud above 65% power. Other Thoughts: I am not a gamer and I don't think this card would really be up; a TRUE gamers ally. However for video editing, watching movies and my standard research projects this card performs fantastic. Did you find this review helpful? |
great cardPros: great card for the money Cons: NONE Other Thoughts: a little big but still cant go wrong with it for the money Did you find this review helpful? |
Good For Dual GraphicsPros: I like others use this with the new richland cpu's. If you do AMD says plug the hdmi in the one with the highest # which is the onboard . Reinstall the drivers with it plugged into the onboard HDMI. After this the thing works alot better. If running 2 monitors it really shines! I'm using the new 13.8 beta drivers (8/1/2013) Cons: I bought it somewhere else! Other Thoughts: The whole hybrid. dual graphics is excellent for my needs. A movie freak that rips all Blurays to my home server. It makes a more Economical solution to the HTPC Market. Which i totally Love Thanks AMD for thinking of us people that can't or won't do apple or intel.... Manufacturer Response: Did you find this review helpful? |
A great card for the moneyPros: Nice packaging. Good instructions. Has a DVI to VGA adapter included. Also has a display port built-in. This is a really good adapter for multiple monitor setups. No significant power needs for this adapter and it does not require separate PCI-E power cable. Lifetime warranty. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: At some point I expect to try this adapter in a PCI-E 3.0 slot to check out its performance, but I was really surprised at how Windows Experience Index went from 3.2 to 5.9 on a Vista x64 older Gateway PC with a Core2 CPU and 6GB of RAM. The graphics really snap and have no perceptible lag on a 2-5ms response monitor. Make sure to reboot twice after installation to re-route video from the motherboard to the adapter if the motherboard does not include a force PCI-E graphics option.

APU's best friendPros: Excellent in combination with the AMD APU. This card will turn your APU based system into a decent gaming rig for very little money. Cons: Crazy cover thing on the fan is a little ridiculous. Other Thoughts: Buy it. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
MisleadingPros: I guess the card works okay. Bought it to replace a failing GeForce 7600 GT. Cons: Bought this with a promo and newegg can't get their head out of their rears. Manufacturer Response: 0 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
decent cardPros: well i got this card to do the a10 crossfire and dont get me wrong after finding the right drivers i got it working and it didnt have any problems doing so either. Cons: none Other Thoughts: after a while i can say this card runs games at high settings just fine for the most part, not crysis though. but if your looking to do the hybrid crossfire save your money and just get a bigger card. if your doing a low budget build it can be a great card on its own Did you find this review helpful? |
Works perfectly so far.Pros: Fast. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: I found, after buying it, that it is a bit slower than the 5770 low profile card I just gave away. My fault for not doing better research. Did you find this review helpful? |
Brick of of the BOXPros: None, does not work with my motherboard when the CPU Multiplier sets to 30. (Default frequency for the CPU) Cons: Does not work with my MB, ASUS F1A75-V EVO FM1 AMD A75, with default Multiplier of 30. It will not boot at all. If I can the Multiplier to anything lower, the board will boot to windows but since then it will be in OC mode, very unstable. Contacted Support, sent the card back. They find no issue. The will not address the incompatible issue and will not work with me to get an upgrade( not even if I am willing to pay). My experience with XFX is terrible and will not buy anything from them again. I will also recommend other people not to. 0 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
A fighting forcePros: This product packed a lot more punch than what I expected. Nearly all my games can run on Ultra (except Skyrim, which can still run with mixed Ultra/High settings). I haven't quite tested it against BF3 or Crysis, but I can honestly say this card can hold up against most games you can throw at it with high or max settings. Cons: None so far. Other Thoughts: I upgraded from an HD5450 to this. I was running Skyrim, Minecraft, Half-Life, TF2, Arkham Asylum, Mass Effect 1, with nearly all set on relatively low/medium settings. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Red -- this is a Fox News alert American officials have concluded that Syria's leader Bashar Al Assad has used chemical weapons against the opposition.
The United Nations meantime says the number of dead in serious two year civil war.
Now stands at at least 93 -- the question now what about President Obama -- red line.
And what comes next.
Chief White House correspondent Ed Henry is live with -- breaking details good evening it.
Good -- -- a dramatic development but the key is that it's not as dramatic as the president's critics want in terms of actual.
US military action critics now by the way that range from John McCain the Republican to Bill Clinton the former democratic president number one.
What I'll say Ben -- just revealed a few moments ago.
That the US intelligence community now believes with a high degree of confidence that the Syrian regime did in fact use chemical weapons the nerve agent sit -- and that killed about a 150 people he went on to say that -- reference back to last August when President Obama you remember said that this.
Use of chemical weapons would cross a red line then -- noting this would change the calculus for the president.
Insane tonight.
This now has in fact change that calculus number two though Rhodes said that the US is increasing aid to the Syrian rebels.
And will provide what he called military support but he stopped short of of directly saying that the US will provide.
Actual arms to the rebels instead Rhodes said.
That the White House will make decisions on what he called further action quote on our own timetable.
He indicated -- decision has been made in some form or fashion about US action the president has made some decisions but they're not revealing all of it tonight.
No Republican Saxby Chambliss is suggesting this is not good enough for him tonight he said.
He could support a no fly zone but he complained that the US is known for almost a year now they chemical weapons were likely to have been used -- he said quote we've done nothing.
Republicans John McCain and Lindsey Graham weighing in as well tonight they say they're glad the administration now says the chemical weapons were used.
But they added that they needed -- decision on actual lethal assistance to the Syrian rebels that -- ammunition and heavy weapons soon because the situation is deteriorating number.
McCain and Graham added that this is long -- -- in their estimation.
And their urging the president to finally take the step.
Of arming the Syrian rebels the all of this dramatic situation happening after President Obama got.
Pressure from an unlikely source actually intervene more directly in Syria that source being.
Democrat Bill Clinton.
Just hours after word leaked about a closed door event were former President Bill Clinton ripped president Obama's approach to the crisis in Syria.
White House aides actually tried to claim mister Obama is fine with the comments.
He welcomes the again the -- input.
Of every.
An individual out there who has perspective.
On a situation like this absolutely.
Clinton attended a forum Tuesday night in New York with the Republican John McCain a fierce critic of mr.
Obama for what he says is two and a half years of drift on Syria.
As the slaughter has escalated.
Two sources familiar with the event confirmed a political report.
They Clinton declared any president runs the danger of looking like a total fool if they pay too much attention to polls and public officials need to quote -- down the road and to win.
Republicans charge this was an opening shot in Hillary Clinton's 2016.
Presidential campaign.
To show some daylight between the Obama policy in the former secretary of state.
I don't think this was entirely.
Accidental on former president Clinton's part.
And the application that he's given is that President Obama is weak indecisive -- poll driven.
That charge against mr.
Obama comes after a fox poll in May found 68% of Americans believe the administration should stay out of Syria because it's -- civil war in the US could end up arming anti American extremists who walked 43% said the US should get more involved because it's a humanitarian crisis the president's aides insist polls are no factor in the decision maker.
What does factor in.
What the national security interest the United States and what has the best chance of working.
Doubt what can the US to do to help the Syrian -- short of actually arming them White House officials tonight talking about providing communications.
Providing medical equipment other assets that might help them be a more cohesive force but -- for direct US military action.
Ben Rhodes a White House advisor tonight saying this is something the president will discuss with allies next week of the G-8 summit.
In NORTHERN IRELAND.
Our breaking news had had a lot of the north lawn Ed thank you.

Mount Aloysius College junior Tonya Bibby of Windber, left, is shown on the soccer field. Bibby was named to the Women¿s College Division Scholar All-East Region Team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America. (Submitted photo / January 27, 2013) |
Tonya Bibby is making the most of her time on the soccer field and in the classroom at Mount Aloysius College in Cresson.
Her hard work hasn't gone unnoticed and she was recently recognized with a well-deserved honor.
The Windber native was named to the Women's College Division Scholar All-East Region Team by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.
Bibby, a junior physical therapy major, is the first ever player from Mount Aloysius College to receive the award. It acknowledges a student-athlete's accomplishments in the classroom, combined with their play on the field.
"It feels really great to get recognized for all your hard work," Bibby said. "It's an honor to represent Mount Aloysius College and be personally congratulated by our school's president."
Bibby was on the dean's list for the fall semester and carries a 3.90 cumulative grade point average.
She is part of the prestigious Mercy Presidential Scholarship program at Mount Aloysius College. To receive the scholarship, students must demonstrate a solid academic record and show a commitment to home, school and community. They must also have leadership abilities, participate in extracurricular activities, volunteer, and be involved in community service projects.
Bibby has given her time to various service organizations, both through the campus and the community. She has helped in the Hurricane Katrina aftermath and has traveled to South America on a mission trip.
"It's very rewarding to be able to give back," Bibby said.
Mount Aloysius President Tom Foley applauded the choice of Bibby by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America.

TLD Application - when a company wants to open a new TLD, they must submit a proposal to ICANN for review. The new TLD can be launched once ICANN approves the application.
Sunrise is the phase of a TLD launch during which only owners of trademarks may register domain names containing their owned marks.
Landrush is the phase of a TLD launch during which domain names are available for registration by non-trademark holders that wish to register generic terms, such as "loan" or "car" but cannot participate in the Sunrise period.
Parallels and eNom have partnered to help you navigate through and benefit from the availability of new TLDs. eNom is rolling out modules to help customers take orders for the Sunrise, Landrush and General Availability periods of the new TLD launches occurring in the months ahead. The first module available is the Watchlist, which captures expressions of interest from customers to drive leads and revenue associated with new domain name extensions. Sunrise and Landrush modules will allow your customer to seamlessly process orders through each of these phases.

Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5 is now available in fully supported production code, offering greater security, ease of adoption, easier upsell, and full control and best usability for website owners. Parallels Plesk Panel is ideal for shared web hosters, web designers, IT professionals, and small businesses who want to manage e-mail and hosting needs in-house. By upgrading to Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5, you can look forward to benefiting from the following new capabilities:
Greater security. Extends core Parallels Panel capabilities by adding support for multiple admin accounts and secure FTP transfers.
Ease of consolidation. Supports multiple PHP versions on a single server, allowing hosters to consolidate all websites into the latest version of the panel, and an updated migration manager designed to identify possible transfer limitations in advance.
75% faster backups. By using PIGZ (parallel implementation of GZIP) for backup compression, Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5 reduces backup time by up to 75%. PIGZ is a fully functional replacement for GZIP that exploits multiple processors and multiple cores to the hilt when compressing data.
Admin friendly for Windows and Linux. Parallels Plesk Panel 11.5 moves to well-understood, standard management practices used by Linux and Windows administrators.

It also makes significant improvements in the CLI (command line interface) for admins who want to bypass the GUI to operate more rapidly.
Improved performance with Hybrid Web Server (NGINX/Apache). To gain maximum performance, our new Hybrid Web Server can send static content and PHP scripts to NGINX, while other scripts can still be executed in Apache. For added convenience, database users can access multiple databases with the same credentials for all databases they have access to. We enable multiple versions of PHP on any server, and you can define the PHP version used per website. This can be your custom PHP build or PHP downloaded from an alternative repository. Additional versions are selected per site and work with the FastCGI or CGI handlers.
New ActiveList saves time managing websites. Parallel Plesk Panel 11.5 has a reworked user interface that makes working with sites more comfortable. Now, the Websites and Domains tab is the home screen with all domains and websites listed prominently. The new Active List feature saves time for website owners by giving them more information about their sites and domains along with common tasks in an easy-to-navigate interface.
