Atmani may be the man American police are still searching for: an accomplice, thought possibly to have fled from the ferry--along with "sleeper" associates already hiding somewhere in the U.S. It's likely that at least one other person would have been required to transform the volatile chemicals in Ressam's trunk into bombs. The chemistry alone could take a couple of days; the assembly process would have been tricky as well. Ressam's chosen crossing point seemed amateurish: he would stand out among the sparse travelers.

...work with on this all-important first film. With a story centering around Herman's search for his lost bicycle, Adventure led one on a surreal road trip across the U.S. complete with giant concrete dinosaurs, biker gangs and a memorable rendition of the song "Tequila."

...consider yourself warned. Now, if you're like me, you're thinking about ignoring the CPSC, but you're anxious about the consequences (I used to feel like a criminal when I put my baby to bed in a non-flame-retardant sleeper). I asked Ann Brown, chairwoman of the CPSC, if she thought the co-sleeping warning isn't just a touch overblown. Hoarse from defending the CPSC's position on co-sleeping, she said the "huge number of deaths meant it would be wrong for us to withhold this information from parents...
