More than four months after four Americans, including the ambassador, were killed in an attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in Benghazi, Libya, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will testify today before two congressional panels.
First up, a 9 a.m. Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, where Clinton will face Sen. John McCain of Arizona and other Republicans who have expressed anger over the Obama administration and State Department's conduct before, during and after the Sept. 11 attack. At 2 p.m., the GOP-controlled House Foreign Affairs Committee gets its turn to grill the outgoing secretary of state.
5:01 p.m. — That's it, folks. Rep. Royce bangs his gavel and ends the House hearing. But not before noting he's worried the independent panel Clinton set up to review the Benghazi attack "failed to capture the whole picture." Thanks to all who stopped by our live blog. Check back next Thursday (Jan. 31), when we'll do this again as the Senate Armed Services Committee grills former GOP Sen. Chuck Hagel, President Obama's controversial pick to become defense secretary. Have a good evening. And stay warm. — John T. Bennett
ANALYSIS, Part III: Clinton likely will be criticized for part of her harsh response to Sen. Johnson. GOP political strategists can easily turn part of her emotional comment for a television ad. How she worded the now-viral response could have been her lone big error of the day. — John T. Bennett
ANALYSIS, Part II: The main takeaways from five and a half hours of Clinton's testimony are: 1) U.S. officials and lawmakers are — after the Benghazi attack, the need for French intervention in Mali, and the recent deadly hostage-taking in Algeria — coming to the realization that a long-held reluctance by Republicans and Democrats to insert a big U.S. military and intelligence footprint in Africa is quickly changing. Check out our piece on this collective realization. 2) As the next note fully explains, Clinton will walk out of the Rayburn House Office Building for likely the last time as secretary of state nearly totally unscathed by Benghazi politically. And that could have a big impact on the 2016 presidential campaign. — John T. Bennett
ANALYSIS, Part I: Intercepts is nearing the end of its live coverage. But I wanted to note something everyone should keep in mind coming out of today: For over four hours today, Republican lawmakers have attempted to damage Clinton, a potential/likely 2016 Democratic presidential candidate. But none have made even a dent in Clinton the politician, much less the widely respected and competent secretary of state. Unless something changes in the final minutes of the House hearing, Clinton will have emerged from the Benghazi attack and its partisan aftermath mostly unscathed politically. — John T. Bennett
4:42 p.m. — Rep. Mo Brooks, R-Ala., asks Clinton whether Susan Rice's comments that the attack was produced by a spontaneous protest. She responds that is not where the evidence points at this time, but cautions that an ongoing FBI probe should be allowed to gather all possible facts. Clinton says the process that led to Rice's comments was "an intelligence community product." But she says all U.S. officials who spoke publicly did so after reviewing the same IC-compiled talking points. (Note: Earlier in this session, Clinton noted the House and Senate Intelligence committees are working with U.S. intel agencies to compile a timeline showing just how those controversial — and apparently false — talking points were crafted. — John T. Bennett
4:34 p.m. — Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Ill., asks whether DoD failed to do everything possible in response to the attack. Clinton points to the ARB's findings, which cleared the military of any poor response. — John T. Bennett
3:50 p.m. — Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, asks, in short: Who done it? Clinton says an individual is under surveillance by Tunisian security officials in that country. With a frown, Poe sourly says as his time expires that no one has yet been arrested for the attack. — John T. Bennett
3:47 p.m. — Washington loves a strategy-writing exercise. Congress orders them frequently. Some entity within the vast Defense Department bureaucracy seems to complete one every few months. Other national security agencies conduct them routinely, as well. And the storage rooms of think tanks are crowded with those organizations' strategic work. What's one needed outcome of the Benghazi attack? Of course. Clinton says a "comprehensive strategy" that reflects current and future threats needs to be completed. — John T. Bennett
3:36 p.m. — Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., who Clinton credited for her work on Africa issues, asks which Africa-based terrorist group is the biggest threat to America. Clinton says all such groups must be taken seriously. None of those groups have the ability, today that is, to plan and conduct strikes inside the United States, Clinton tells Bass. "But we have a lot of facilities" in and around North Africa, she warned, citing the recent deadly hostage-taking in Algeria. — John T. Bennett
3:32 p.m. — Wilson, with his time expiring, asks Clinton why Marines were not stationed at Benghazi. She responds that federal law requires Leathernecks only be deployed to diplomatic facilities to protect classified information — not U.S. personnel. Note: During the Senate hearing this morning, senators from both political parties seemed in agreement that Congress should consider amending such laws. — John T. Bennett
3:28 p.m.– "I have to confess here in public that going on the Sunday shows is not my favorite thing to do. … It's just not something I jump to do. I felt strongly we had a lot to manage and respond to, which is what I chose to do," Clinton said in response to a question from Rep. Joe Wilson, R-S.C. He wondered to Clinton why she, as Susan Rice allegedly said, declined to represent the Obama administration on those Sept. 16 political talk shows. Had Clinton not declined, Wilson said, Rice might not have spouted the comments that so angered Republicans. Reaction: And it could have allowed Rice to become secretary of state, and Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., to become secretary of defense. But my reporting suggests GOP members did not want Rice at State. — John T. Bennett
3:20 p.m. — Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Ohio, suggests it is wrong to criticize Congress for cutting State Department funding, and to say that played a role in the poor security at the Benghazi compound. Clinton did not have a chance to respond…because Chabot used all of his five minutes of allotted question time. Reaction: It's unfortunate Chabot left her no time to reply to what could have been an important policy and funding statement as federal spending is such a big issue right now, and will be for many months to come. — John T. Bennett
**3:10 p.m. — Nothing new from a spirited but uneventful exchange between Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., and the secretary. But for the political intrigue fans out there: Rohrabacher tried to press Clinton on why some State and administration officials, as he and GOP members see it, were slow to call the Benghazi incident a terrorist attack. Clinton had none of this attempt, the fifth or sixth or seventh — I've lost count — of the day. She told him she and the president called it such the morning after the attack. Rohrabacher also attempted to inject a "monitor" located somewhere in Foggy Bottom that was showing the attack "in real time." Clinton said there was "no monitor" and "no real time," suggesting the official who told the House panel as much was referring to a telephone connection between State and Benghazi. — John T. Bennett
2:56 p.m. — Rep. Christopher Smith, R-N.J., notes there are many, many more security personnel in the region than just 11 years ago. But how to use them is a management issue, he says. He wants to know when Clinton became aware of requests from the now-late U.S. Ambassador Stevens' requests for more security. She said none of his cables "came to my attention." — John T. Bennett
**2:44 p.m. — Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, R-Fla., says it is "outrageous" that the ARB group did not question Clinton. She also wants to know why State said employees dubbed most responsible for Benghazi were not fired, and why Clinton and her top deputies allowed the public and Congress to believe they had been let go, as some media reports have stated. Clinton explains federal law states poor leadership is not a grounds for dismissal. Clinton says she has submitted legislation to change that. — John T. Bennett
**2:40 p.m. — Engel goes back to his opening comments about funding concerns. Clinton says although State's prioritization of the funds it got, despite cuts, "was imperfect," Congress did slash the department's request. She makes a plea for transfer authority, which would allow State officials to move around already allocated funds to improve security at other similar diplomatic facilities across the globe. The Senate has granted this authority, she says, urging the House panel to follow suit. The outgoing secretary, a former Senate Armed Services Committee member, says a foriegn affairs authorization bill like the annual defense authorization measure would help "organize" things like security efforts and allow lawmakers "to really delve into" those issues. — John T. Bennett
2:35 p.m. — Clinton tells Royce she was aware of security concerns at the Benghazi facility prior to the Sept. 11 attack. — John T. Bennett
2:23 p.m. — Clinton says "Benghazi didn't happen in a vacuum." Rather, it was part of growing instability across North Africa. "We need to work together to accelerate a diplomatic campaign to increase pressure on 'al-Qaida in the Maghreb' and similar groups," Clinton said. As my piece over on the mothership — DefenseNews.com — explains, that was the most important takeaway from this morning's Senate hearing. — John T. Bennett
2:13 p.m. — Engel criticizes House Republicans for slashing funding the last few years for things like diplomatic security. — John T. Bennett
2:11 p.m. — Ranking Member Rep. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., says in an early shot at his GOP colleagues that President "Obama was no more responsible for the Benghazi attack than George W. Bush was responsible for the 9/11 attacks." Reaction from this scribe, in a word: Wow. — John T. Bennett
2:01 p.m. — Welcome back. Secretary Clinton is smiling and has taken her seat in the Rayburn House Office Building, where the House Foreign Affairs Committee is set to grill her. The panel's new chairman, Rep. Ed Royce, R-Calif., has gaveled the hearing in session. Royce says the Benghazi attack cannot lead to an American diplomatic "retreat" from troubling parts of the globe. His panel wants to find out "where State Department management fell down." Involvement in security issues "stopped at the assistant secretary level," Royce said in his opening statement, suggesting that should change. — John T. Bennett
11:33 a.m. — Committee adjourns. We're working on multiple articles for DefenseNews.com that will tackle the events of the hearing, so please check back later.
**11:13 a.m. — Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., says "I would have relieved you from your post" over not reading all cables sent from Libya. Not to know of requests for security really, I think, cost these people their lives," he said. Paul "doesn't suspect your motives" were purposely negative, but calls it a "failure of leadership." During the broadside, Clinton merely cleared her throat. She pointed him to the ARB review, noting that review did not determine anyone involved exercised "a failure of leadership." Paul shoots back: "They never should have been sent in there without a military guard … under Defense Department command." Paul said someone needs to make "an executive decisions" that includes attaching Marines to such U.S. facility in global hot spots. Clinton told Paul she insisted the ARB's finding be made public is because she "believes in transparency and taking responsibility — and I've done that." — John T. Bennett
**11:07 a.m. — Under questioning from a GOP senator about whether the Obama administration's claim that the core al-Qaida cell in Pakistan has been "decimated," Clinton provides a nuanced answer. "There has been the decimation of core al-Qaida … in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but we've got to deal with the offshoot organizations" in palces like Africa. Her repeated comments about emerging threats in Africa show the vast continent — especially in the north — will be a big focus of President Obama's second term. — John T. Bennett
10:58 a.m. — Durbin raises transfer authority question, and mentions sequester as part of point on the need for funding.
"Some on the committee have already criticized the notion that this is about money," Durbin said. "They might argue you can't solve a problem by throwing money at it. Madam Secretary, you can't solve a problem by throwing money at it unless the problem is lack of money."
The sequester also rears its ugly heads. Durbin cites $50 million dollar cut to overseas building funding as part of sequester. That figure may in fact by low as OMB documents put figures for total cuts to Embassy Security, Construction, and Maintenance at $129 million back in the fall.
"Sequestration will be very damaging to the State Department and USAID if it does come to pass because it does throw the baby out with the bath," Clinton said in response. –Zach Biggs
10:54 a.m. Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., strikes back at McCain's assertions that the American people should be informed immediately about events. "I do want to make one point for the record here, about whether the American people are told everything right away, in the right way, so that they can be fully informed," Durbin said. "I'd like to refer to five words for them to reflect on: Iraqi weapons of mass destruction." The comment elicited a nod from Clinton, and a grin and a nod from McCain, who seemed to be at least partially ceding the point. — Zach Biggs
10:53 a.m. — Clinton responded to McCain by saying "we just have a disagreement when it comes to explaining the sequence of events." Officials did not interview State Department security agents who were at the scene for several days, and "we had no access to surveillance cameras for weeks, which helped answer a number of questions." Clinton pointed out to McCain that Congress, for months last year, had placed holds on funds meant to provide assistance to Libya for things like security aid. "We were told it's a wealthy nation," she said. Congress and the executive branch "have got to get our act together!" she exclaimed. "We have got to work together."
10:50 a.m. — Sen. McCain slammed Clinton, saying her answers so far have been "unsatisfactory to me." He reiterated his question about why, on Sept. 11 of all days, there were no military assets either on site in Benghazi or available to respond more quickly. He calls Rice's comments on the Sunday shows "false answers," and says the administration should have known the attack was planned and not the product of a demonstration gone awry. "People don't bring RPGs and mortars to a demonstration. That's a fundamental," he said. — John T. Bennett
**10:46 a.m. " Wonderful to see you in good health and as combative as ever," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., told Clinton, referencing her exchange with Johnson. — John T. Bennett
10:38 a.m. — Clinton tells the panel the administration, in the immediate wake of the attack, did a poor job of explaining that "it wasn't a clear picture" of just what happened. GOP lawmakers, and some Democrats, have complained the administration's initial Hill briefings were vague at best. "We did not conclude until days after the attacks that there was no protest at all," Clinton said. — John T. Bennett
10:37 a.m. — Asked by Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., about whether the agency is aware of threats when it should be, Clinton describes conscious recognition of the risks in Benghazi.
"I want to make clear that no one in the State Department, the intelligence community, any other agency, ever recommended that we close Benghazi," Clinton said. "We were clear eyed about the threats and the dangers as they were developing in eastern Libya and in Benghazi." – Zach Biggs
**10: 35 a.m. — A note on the Clinton-Johnson exchange: I'm sitting 10 or 15 yards behind Secretary Clinton. She yelled at Johnson. Her tone, in fact, got louder and more angry as she continued her comment. Seemed very calculated — and sincere. — John T. Bennett
10:33 a.m. – When asked about doubts as to the claim that protesters had stormed the compound, Clinton again backs Rice. "We all wish that nobody had raised doubts, but Ambassador Rice and all the other administration officials were speaking off of what had been determined were the most acceptable talking points." – Zach Biggs
10:28 a.m. — Clinton describes that transfer authority for State to put more of its funds towards overseas building was in the Senate version of the Sandy relief bill, but was pulled from the House version and as such there's no pending legislation that would provide the budget authority. – Zach Biggs
**10:23 a.m. — In the most partisan portion of the hearing yet, Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., charged the Obama administration sought to deliberately mislead the American people. Clinton says "nothing could be further from the truth" in regard to GOP charges that Rice and the White House were trying to mislead people. Johnson says "one phone call" could have led Rice to realize — and state on those Sunday shows — that it was a terrorist attack. Johnson presses Clinton hard, and she strikes back. With a raised voice, Clinton roars: "The fact was we had four dead Americans — was it an attack or four guys out for a walk!?" She said the focus among senior officials, in the wake of the attack, primarily was finding the attackers rather than immediately understanding why they conducted the attack. — John T. Bennett
10:21 a.m. — Clinton says that she pushed the ARB to by direct, and that the next task is to continue pushing for their recommendations.
"Now we've got to act on it or shame on us" – Zach Biggs
10:20 a.m. — Clinton says State Department and Pentagon officials are in talks about bringing additional Marines into the diplomatic facility security realm. Specifically, the talks are focused on how many are needed "and what they would do," she said. — John T. Bennett
10:08 a.m. — "We're going to see more and more demands on AFRICOM," Clinton said of U.S. Africa Command. "And that is something, I think, the House and Senate will have to address." — John T. Bennett
10:04 a.m. — Sen. James Risch, exactly one hour into the hearing, brings up Susan Rice, the U.N. ambassador who so angered Republicans with her comments on Sunday morning talk shows several days after the Sept. 11 attack. She furthered angered them in a November briefing, and was forced to withdraw her name from consideration to become secretary of state during Obama's second term.
Clinton somewhat forcefully tells the Idaho Republican "I was not focused on talking points. I was focused on keeping people safe. … I don't think anyone in the administration was focused on that so much as what we should be doing." Clinton, ever politically savvy, did note she quickly dubbed the Benghazi strike a "terrorist attack." She told the panel the attack was "opportunistic and coordianted." — John T. Bennett
9:58 am. — Clinton warns the committee of the situation in Mali: "We are in for a struggle. But it is a necessary struggle." Washington, however, "cannot allow northern Mali to become a safe haven [for al-Qaida]. You can't say because they haven't done anything they won't do anything." In a blunt statement, Clinton said "we have got to have a better strategy." — John T. Bennett
9:55 a.m. –Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., raises and answers the funding question again.
"To me I was not disappointed to hear the co-chairs say, 'congress must do its part,'" Boxer said. "Frankly I think that it's a no brainer and the fact that we would even have a problem with it to me doesn't make any sense. I hope we can work to get together to get the resources that we need for security."
Clinton responded by emphasizing the funding need.
"Since 2007 the department has consistently requested greater funding for embassy construction and diplomatic security, with the exception of 2010, congress has consistently enacted less than requested," Clinton said. "Most notably in 2012 the department received $340 million less than requested, close to 10 percent less than the request."
Clinton also mentioned that State has requested the opportunity to transfer funds to support construction, a process that has been held up in the house. Boxer responded with an audible "jeez." — Zach Fryer-Biggs
9:47 a.m. — U.S. faces a spreading extremist threat in North Africa and beyond. Warns new "democracies" in region are new to running countries and providing security — including to American diplomatic facilities. — John T. Bennett
9:43 a.m. — Sen. Corker says he has read numerous diplomatic cables that came from U.S. personnel in Libya before the attack, telling Clinton he doesn't understand why more security wasn't provided. "These people were screaming out for more security."
Clinton responds that she "didn't see those requests. I didn't approve them. I didn't deny them. These requests do not ordinarily come to the secretary of state." But, she said she is trying to put in place a process to change that, and install new deputy assistant secretary for high threats. — John T. Bennett
9:40 a.m. — In response to a question from Menendez, Clinton gives blow-by-blow of her Sept. 11.
"Regarding what I was doing on September 11, I was at the State Department all day and late into the night. During most of the day prior to getting notice of the attack on our compound in Benghazi we were very focused on our embassy in Cairo, that was under assault by a group of protestors. We were assessing the security of our embassy. That is certainly, for those who have been there, well defensed. But there were crowds that were intent upon trying to scale the wall and we were in close communication with our team in Cairo."
"I was notified of the attack shortly after 4 pm. Over the following hours we were in continuous meetings and conversations both within the department, with our team in Tripoli with the interagency and internationally."
"I instructed our senior department officials and our diplomatic security personnel to consider every option, to just break down the doors of the Libyan officials to get as much security support as we possibly could to coordinate with them."
"It was a constant ongoing discussion and sets of meetings. I spoke with President Obama later in the evening to bring him up to date, to get his perspective."
Clinton went on to list a variety of national security officials with whom she had communicated. Her mention of discussion with the Libyans seeking greater support echoes one of the ARB report findings, that there was too much reliance on Libyan forces who were not well positioned to confront a meaningful assault. — Zach Biggs
9:35 a.m. — Secretary Clinton provides her account of how she handled the response to the attack. "I directed our response from the State Department and stayed in close contact with officials from across our government and the Libyan government," she said. "No delays in decision-making. No denials of support from Washington or from the military."
"I immediately ordered a review of our security posture around the world, with particular scrutiny for high-threat posts. We asked the Department of Defense to join Interagency Security Assessment Teams and to dispatch hundreds of additional Marine Security Guards. I named the first Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for High Threat Posts, so Missions in dangerous places get the attention they need. And we reached out to Congress to help address physical vulnerabilities, including risks from fire, and to hire additional Diplomatic Security personnel."
Clinton also mentions protests around the region, hinting at what caused some of the confusion over whether the attack was related to a protest. "You may recall that in that same period, we also saw violent attacks on our embassies in Cairo, Sanaa, Tunis, and Khartoum, as well as large protests outside many other posts where thousands of our diplomats serve," she said.
Clinton adds that of the 29 recommendations in the ARB report, all are underway and "fully 85 percent are on track to be completed by the end of March, with a number completed already." — Zach Fryer-Biggs
9:30 a.m. — Secretary Clinton's voice breaks as she gets emotional, nearly crying, telling the panel this matter "is personal" for her because she stood beside President Obama when the bodies of the slain Americans returned to the U.S. She gets more emotional as she notes she "put my arms around" the family members of the four dead Americans. A powerful moment that brought a still silence over the Hart hearing room.
9:25 a.m. — Clinton again takes responsibility for the attack: "As I have said many times since September 11, I take responsibility," Clinton said. "Nobody is more committed to getting this right. I am determined to leave the State Department and our country safer, stronger, and more secure."
Clinton also seems to be heading off criticism about the administration's categorization of the attack, which some have described as falsely suggesting no terrorists were involved. "The very next morning, I told the American people that 'heavily armed militants assaulted our compound' and vowed to bring them to justice," Clinton said. "And I stood with President Obama in the Rose Garden as he spoke of 'an act of terror.'" — Zach Fryer-Biggs
9:23 a.m. — "Our security professionals get it right 99 percent of the time," Clinton says in her opening statement, noting that's why she "trusts them with my life." — John T. Bennett
9:16 a.m. — Foreign Relations Committee Ranking Member Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., calls a briefing the Obama administration provided lawmakers last fall on the attack one where the intelligence community "said more than nothing." Corker called it "a bizarre briefing," in which "there was a lot of spin from the White House." The GOP senator voiced concerns that the briefing "represented a denial of the world as it is," and said he hopes the aftermath will "give us an opportunity to develop a policy for the world as it is today." –John T. Bennett
9:10 a.m. — Sen. Menendez says, in part, the lack of security at the Benghazi facility was a result of the State Department being "resource challenged." — John T. Bennett
9:09 a.m. — State Department needs to determine which of its diplomatic posts are highest risk, and take new steps to secure them, Menendez says. He says a lack of such work helped lead to the Benghazi attack. — John T. Bennett
9:07 a.m. — Menendez immediately jumps into the question of funding for overseas construction following a polite at-a-boy for Clinton's cooperation with the committee. "I would add that congress is not without responsibility here," Menendez said. "We also have an obligation to do our part to comply with the Administrative (sic) Review Board's recommendations. It is my intention to work with the members of the committee and the department in the coming months, on legislation that will improve security and better protect our employees." One of the Accountability Review Board's (ARB) major findings was that building efforts to shore up the security at State facilities overseas had been consistently underfunded, and that new money is needed to improve the facilities. — Zach Fryer-Biggs
9:07 a.m. — Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J., who is chairing the hearing today, with Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., handing over the gavel since he has been nominated to become secretary of state. Menendez says U.S. cannot prevent every attack, and tells his colleagues Congress has a role in preventing attacks. — John T. Bennett
8:59 a.m. — Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., enters, and the hearing room falls silent. McCain and several fellow Senate GOP colleagues have for months hammered the Obama administration over its handling of the Benghazi attack. — John T. Bennett
8:55 a.m. — The hearing room in the Hart Senate Office Building is packed. Reporters even showed up early, a rarity. A few senators are chatting with staffers on the dais. Secretary Clinton has yet to arrive. My colleague Zach Fryer-Biggs and I will be blogging the back-and-forth, which we expect to be tense at times. — John T. Bennett

Virginie Paulin's voice still trembles when she recounts how she was fired from what she considered her dream job at Ikea in France.
An Ikea store in Saint-Herblain, a suburb of Nantes, in western France.
"I felt total incomprehension, I was stunned," she said. As a 12-year employee of the Swedish home furnishings group, Ms. Paulin had risen to become deputy director of communications and merchandising for Ikea's two dozen stores across France.
(Read more: Ikea struggles to stay true to its culture)
But then she was forced out after a year's medical absence — and after what was subsequently revealed to be an investigation of her by Ikea's French headquarters, which suspected she was not as sick as she had said. The company was said to have provided a private detective with her Social Security number, personal cellphone number, bank account details and other personal data.
A regional court in Versailles, near Paris, is now examining whether Ikea executives in France broke the law by ordering personal investigations — not only of Ms. Paulin but of hundreds of other people over the course of a decade.

The NeXT Computer (also called the NeXT Computer System) is a workstation computer that was developed, marketed, and sold by NeXT Inc. It runs the Mach- and BSD-derived, Unix-based NeXTSTEP operating system, with a proprietary GUI using a Display PostScript-based back end. The motherboard is square and fits into one of four identical slots in the enclosure. The NeXT Computer enclosure consists of a 1-foot (305 mm) die-cast magnesium cube-shaped, black case, which led to the machine being informally referred to as "The Cube". It was launched in 1988 at US$6,500 (equivalent to $13,400 in 2017).
The NeXT Computer was succeeded by the NeXTcube, an upgraded model, in 1990.
The NeXT Computer was launched in October 1988 at a lavish invitation-only event, "NeXT Introduction - the Introduction to the NeXT Generation of Computers for Education" at the Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall in San Francisco, California. The next day, selected educators and software developers were invited to attend--for a $100 registration fee--the first public technical overview of the NeXT computer at an event called "The NeXT Day" at the San Francisco Hilton. It gave those interested in developing NeXT software an insight into the system's software architecture and object-oriented programming. Steve Jobs was the luncheon's speaker.
This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (July 2014)
In 1989, BYTE Magazine listed the NeXT Computer among the "Excellence" winners of the BYTE Awards, stating that it showed "what can be done when a personal computer is designed as a system, and not a collection of hardware elements". Citing as "truly innovative" the optical drive, DSP and object-oriented programming environment, it concluded that "the NeXT Computer is worth every penny of its $6,500 market price".[1] It was, however, not a significant commercial success, failing to reach the level of high-volume sales like the Apple II, Commodore 64, the Macintosh, or Microsoft Windows PCs. The workstations were sold to universities, financial institutions, and government agencies.[]
A NeXT Computer and its object oriented development tools and libraries were used by Tim Berners-Lee and Robert Cailliau at CERN to develop the world's first web server software, CERN httpd, and also used to write the first web browser, WorldWideWeb.
The NeXT Computer and the same object oriented development tools and libraries were used by Jesse Tayler at Paget Press to develop the first electronic app store, the Electronic AppWrapper in the early 1990s. Issue #3 was first demonstrated to Steve Jobs at NeXTWorld Expo 1993.
Pioneering PC games Doom (with its WAD level editor), Doom II, and Quake (with its respective level editor) were developed by id Software on NeXT machines. Other games based on the Doom engine such as Heretic and its sequel Hexen by Raven Software as well as Strife by Rogue Entertainment were also developed on NeXT hardware using id's tools.[2]

Sen. Jack Reed (D., R.I.) last week dispatched letters to major networks, owners of broadcast groups, newspaper publishers and other major media companies.
Sen. Reed said the tobacco companies have a right to state their view, but the PSAs are needed to "provide a balanced view and assure that people are not hoodwinked."
Sen. Richard Durbin (D., Ill.) said the tobacco companies are doing more than talking about a bill in their current campaign from Bozell/Eskew, Washington. The ads began running a month ago, and characterize the tobacco legislation as big government and big taxes.
"After months and years of negative publicity, they are trying to blame the politicians," he said. "We think it is totally unfair. What is at stake here is the health of our children, and we want to remind the station managers to remind the American people of that."
The letter also was signed by Sens. Paul Wellstone (D., Minn.), Ted Kennedy (D., Mass.) and Tom Harkin (D., Iowa).
There had been reports the industry would spend $50 million on the campaign; as of the end of last week, spending appears to be about $15 million to $20 million, according to media buyers.
A new wave of advertising talking about black-market cigarettes began running late last week in newspapers and on TV and radio stations in about 50 markets.
The tobacco industry said it supports the broadcast of "genuine" PSAs warning about the dangers of underage smoking but noted that decisions on airtime should come from individual stations.
"We would welcome the decision by any station to broadcast genuine PSAs. But it defies logic and is just plain silly for members of Congress to link the industry's advocacy ads regarding current legislation . . . with the incidence of tobacco use in this country."
John Sturm, president of the Newspaper Association of America, said that while it's up to individual newspapers to decide what public service ads they run, the tobacco issue has been extensively discussed in news coverage.
"Regardless of whether newspapers receive this advertising or not, I have little doubt that all views on the issues of teen smoking and tobacco-related illnesses and effects of smoking will be covered fully by America's newspapers," he said.

How NOT to sail your million-pound yacht down the Thames
A MILLION-POUND yacht became the centre of attention in south-west London today after crashing into the Richmond Bridge.
Hundreds of sun-loving revellers laughed and jeered as the boat tried its best to battle with the Thames but ended up getting stuck in the process.
Eyewitness Lesley-Anne Berthon said someone on the boat had faith in it making it under.
She said: "We saw the whole thing. We saw the boat coming and thought 'there's no way he's getting through in that'.
"There was a man standing on the back trying to gauge the height."
"They tried to reverse and got caught, every time they tried to move the boat just hit the side of the bridge"Lesley-Anne Berthon, eyewitness
After going full throttle into the underside of the bridge, she said the boat ended up getting stuck.
She added: "They tried to reverse and got caught, every time they tried to move the boat just hit the side of the bridge."
The Princess 57 yacht is said to have been carried down stream by a strong current.
And with the water level extremely high on the Thames today the boat was forced to into or THROUGH the bridge.
Large crowds gathered on the riverbank to watch the expensive vessel tussle with the tides.
Many filmed and snapped the struggle with the embarrassed owners stepping inside to avoid the embarrassment.
The yacht did make it out in the end but not without being heavily damaged.

Vince Lombardi declared that leaders are made, not born, and lived a life inspirational to all coaches, producing countless leaders from his influence, both direct and indirect. Coaches are modern mystics, able to convince mere mortals that they can accomplish super-human feats. Great coaches push, inspire, discipline, teach; they create leaders in all walks of life. Coaches are pervasive and therefore often taken for granted, but the older I get the more I realize how profoundly I was impacted by the significant coach in my life, Bobby Banna, head football coach of Comeaux High School. My hypothesis is that the vast majority of Americans can thank one or more significant coaches that profoundly impacted their lives, not just during the actual coaching but for life. To test this theory I did some local research, non-scientific no doubt but clearly supportive of my thesis.
My research began with familiar material, Coach Bobby Banna, a man with whom I have stayed in touch since I graduated in 1986. Coach Banna's impact on my life was profound but subtle enough that I didn't recognize it until years later. When I graduated I was happy to have survived four years in this crucible of high school athletics, my first foray into organized football. Several years later, while trying to figure out what I would do with the remainder of my life, the realization of what I had learned from Coach Banna struck me like an All-State linebacker. The culture he created exuded life lessons wrapped up in statements about football: work harder than everyone else, never quit, overcome adversity, face and overcome your fears with tenacious self-determination, recognize the difference between pain and injury, cultivate mental and physical toughness, gain requires pain, get up after being knocked down, focus on your effort instead of the result, practice selfless dedication and humility, embrace change, how to work as a team in a diverse environment, and peak at the right time. I learned a lot about football, but volumes more about life from Coach Banna and the culture he created through his assistant coaches.
When I realized what I had learned I was in the process of applying to various law schools, uncertainty being the only certainty in my future. Realizing that I had used these lessons to get me that far, I decided they would also get me through law school, and they did. I wrote Coach Banna to express my belated gratitude. These lessons are subtle enough that many former players may never fully recognize what they learned from their athletic coaches, so I felt the need to say thanks for all of us. This article is my attempt to continue thanking Coach Banna and all the athletic coaches who impact their players positively far beyond whatever athletic field is involved.
My experience is probably typical. My years playing varsity football at Comeaux High School produced no championships, but what developed from the wins and losses carried my teammates and I through many winning years of life. For a coach, the game continues as long as he or she has players applying the life lessons they taught. In my case, I work hard to instill Coach Banna's lessons in my children: he remains Coach Banna to me after all these years.
Wanting to see if others had similar experiences I interviewed two former players of Coach Banna, Judge Richard "Dicky" Haik and Coach Chester Gosnell, along with Coach Banna and Coach Raymond Blanco who worked with Banna at Catholic High of New Iberia. The common thread through all of these men was the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (USL during their times) so the reincarnated Pete's on Johnston Street seemed the most logical place to meet with these former USL athletes and coaches. Surrounded by pictures of countless USL/UL legends gone pro, these men told story after story confirming my thesis.

Our stories were as similar as they were different—the commonalty being the profound and lifelong impact coaches had on the lives of their players. Banna and Blanco, the Birmingham boys who lived and breathed football during their youth, were profoundly influenced by their own high school football coach at John Carroll High School, Fagan Canzoneri, in addition to legends Bear Bryant and Vince Lombardi, coaches so inspirational that their magic reached non-players. Coach Blanco brought this love of the game and ferocious intensity to Louisiana in 1959 when he agreed to become head coach at Catholic High of New Iberia. He left a highly successful program in Galveston, Texas to take over a struggling one at Catholic High, drawn magically to South Louisiana. Recognizing he would need help, Coach Blanco called his childhood friend and equal lover of the game, Bobby Banna, to work as an assistant. To say these two changed the way football was practiced and played in Louisiana at the time, first in New Iberia and then in ever expanding circles, is a colossal understatement: just ask Chester Gosnell who played for both men at Catholic High before either coach had mellowed. Chester Gosnel was the first All-American player to come out of Catholic High and attributes his success to these coaches. In Coach Blanco's last two years as head coach Catholic High never lost a game—talk about ending on a high note!
The commonality I shared with Judge Haik and Coach Gosnell was that we all played football for Coach Banna. However, listening to their stories I soon realized that as hard as Coach Banna was on us, the younger he was, the harder he was. My older brother Mike had also played for Coach Banna, eight years before I did, and I can still recall him telling me Coach Banna had "mellowed." I begged to differ, but the stories told by Coach Gosnell and Judge Haik about Coach Banna and Blanco corroborated my brother: Coach Banna in his early twenties was much harder (some say meaner) than my Coach Banna in his mid 40s. To demonstrate the point that he had it the worst, Coach Gosnell relayed a story of Coach Banna being so upset with a 14 point shut-out victory that he made them practice for hours after the game under the lights—for not winning by a larger margin. Judge Haik says with a smirk to Coaches Banna and Blanco, "y'all were crazy," but keeps telling stories about the great lessons he learned from these experiences, experiences responsible for him being voted All-District and All-State fullback, and his love for these men. Thank God I wasn't older; I barely survived the middle aged Banna. Coach Banna said his coach, Fagan Canzoneri, was crazy—that is a terrifying thought.
Coach Banna reminded me that there is a thin line between fear and respect while Judge Haik described Banna walking that tight rope daily, varying between praising and chastising players. This push and pull motivation forged life-long bonds between Coach Banna and his players. A significant addition to the few former players discussed herein is Ron Guidry, one of those Pete's Legends gone pro on Pete's walls. Coach Banna was an amazing baseball coach too, having been himself an All-State baseball player two years in high school. Coach Banna's typical selfless philosophy resulted in him encouraging Ron Guidry to turn pro when Banna's baseball team at USL would have been much better off had Guidry stayed. When Guidry won the Cy Young award in 1978, Coach Banna was among those he credited with his success. I learned about Coach Banna's connection to Ron Guidry during high school when Ron Guidry came to visit Coach Banna one day at Comeaux's gym. Judge Haik also reported that while Coach Banna was coaching football at USL, younger up and coming coaches would come to watch and learn, including soon to be state championship coaches Lewis Cook (Notre Dame Pioneers) and Carroll Delahoussaye (St. Martinville Tigers). From simply talking to this humble man one would never know the profound impact he has had on his world.
In 1967, Coach Banna needed an additional coach at Catholic High but the school lacked substantial funds to pay for one. Coach Banna made the fateful decision to call his former player Chester Gosnell, now a student at UL and a four-year football starter, and ask him to fill the job. Chester said yes "because Coach Banna asked me." In addition to teaching and coaching at Catholic High, Chester continued his college work to secure a second degree in physical education so that he could coach as a career—an additional 80 hours of college work that he completed. Chester, now Coach Gosnell needed no further reason to jump into the sacrificial and often thankless life of a coach. I asked the group how much they were paid per hour they worked; they all got a hardy laugh from the question and settled on less than a nickel as the answer. When I suggested that their jobs were thankless, Coach Blanco politely corrected me: "thankless if material things matter, not thankless if dealings with human beings matter." Coaches clearly do it for the love of their sport, as an extension of their playing career, and the reward created by mentoring young people, not the money, at least in the vast majority of cases. These coaches obviously did not coach for the recognition either, as Coaches Blanco and Banna each declined Coach Of The Year Awards during seasons they believed more of their players deserved recognition with such honors and declined the award in protest.

To say Coaches Banna and Blanco pushed their players hard is another huge understatement. Three yards and a cloud of dust was the offensive philosophy for football when they started coaching, and this style was implemented with force, ferocity and discipline difficult to endure. Judge Haik went so far to say that basic training was nothing compared to practices with these guys. But it was the difficulty that made that experience worthwhile: a fact that can only be seen clearly in hindsight, long after the pain of the experience fades. Coaches make their players work hard not for some sadistic pleasure, but because the fruit of the labor is so abundant. Coaches mold character, that undefinable quality that we know when we see in inspiring leaders. Former players continue to apply these lessons long after scoreboards go dark. Wins and losses matter far less than the quality and depth of lessons imparted by coaches even if scoreboards are how coaches judge themselves. As Coach Jack Lengyel realized when he rebuilt Marshall's storied football program, winning is everything, except when it is not. The profound impact he had on his players, on the families of the players, on the entire town of Marshall, Texas is legendary. These lessons are especially important today because parents, myself included, fight the constant urge to make our children's lives easier—so that our children need not suffer whatever traumas we did—and in the process rob our children of the experiences needed to develop character. The wide world of sports, however, is the one arena parents seem willing to let their children suffer pain and adversity, the very building blocks of character.
Judge Haik has had a long and distinguished career as a jurist, a success that he fully attributes to the lessons taught him by Coach Banna. Anyone who practiced before Judge Haik knows that he has a strong sense of fairness, or a strong desire to always do the right thing. He attributes this philosophy to an incident in 1966 when his beloved Catholic High of New Iberia was losing a playoff game to Hahnville that would be their first loss and end to their season. Judge Haik was blinded with fury over the losing effort and in an act of undisciplined revenge he speared an opposing player. The reaction from Coach Banna, a former running back and linebacker himself, was delivered with equal measures of speed and fury. Before the flag hit the ground Coach Banna was on the field grabbing Judge Haik's facemask and screaming that such cheap shots were intolerable, that we "win like Christian gentlemen and lose like Christian gentlemen," all without a single curse word. Judge Haik gets teary eyed when he relays the story of this transformative experience that he will never forget, then he adds: "scared the hell out of me." Coach Banna, on the other hand, probably never knew how significant that thirty second period of his life was on such an influential citizen.

Judge Haik has an equally strong aversion to blunt rules designed to apply a one size fits all approach to problems requiring more nuanced handling, another philosophy he attributes to his time playing football for Coach Banna. Two former New Iberia Catholic High linebackers, now USL students, were about to be expelled due to the University's zero tolerance policy to off campus fights. Ed Pratt, himself a member of the storied 1962 undefeated Louisiana State Championship team at Catholic High, was directing the expulsion process. The players' parents contacted Judge Haik, pleading for an exception because all their boys did was come to the rescue of two girls who were being verbally and physically accosted by four young men. Judge Haik confirmed these facts through his investigation and then convinced Ed Pratt that the policy should be tweaked because of the facts. Dean Pratt reportedly reached this decision because of his time playing at Catholic High teaching him to always do the right thing, which is all these former Catholic High linebackers were doing when they defended these girls.
I asked Judge Haik when he first realized the profound impact Coach Banna had on his life. I could relate to both stories he told. The first was when Judge Haik was playing football at USL, and was thinking about quitting because he felt he was not getting enough playing time. Coach Banna told Judge Haik the words I read multiple times a day on a plaque walking in and out of the locker room at Comeaux High School: "winners never quit and quitters never win." Coach Banna counseled him to stick with it, that when he did not feel good about it to just keep working and he would eventually feel better. Then, after his first semester in law school, Judge Haik called Coach Banna and reported that law school was really hard and he did not know if it was worth the effort. Coach Banna gave the same advice, reportedly a lot more forcefully, with a reminder that Coach Banna had not taught Judge Haik to be a quitter. Obviously, Judge Haik took Coach Banna's advice, but Judge Haik also points out that there are numerous others who played with him that feel the same about Coach Banna. Judge Haik points out that he made this call to Coach Banna, instead of his father with whom he was very close. He and I are just a few among the many former players who consider Coach Banna to be like a second father. For many players less fortunate than Judge Haik and I, who are very close to our fathers, Coach Banna was their only father.

These men have all been heavily involved in our regional efforts to heal our human society from the wounds caused by bigotry in its various forms. Coaches Blanco and Banna were part of a threatened minority of Catholics in Alabama during their formative years. In 1921, Ku Klux Klansmen attacked a Catholic pharmacist, stripped him, and bashed out his teeth. The same year a Catholic priest was killed by a man angered by the priest performing a wedding for his daughter and a Puerto Rican. Outrageously, the killer was acquitted so when racial integration was being ordered in Louisiana they embraced the need for change. Coach Banna was not deterred when other schools would not come to Catholic High to play basketball because they had a black player, Harold Julien, on their team. Judge Haik heaped praise on this brave, humble and wonderful human being as a result of his involvement in the process. At USL Judge Haik observed exceptionally prejudiced football teammates become colorblind because of the work, dedication and skill of their black counterparts. In the battle for racial equality, black athletes have repeatedly forced the scales off the eyes of the nonbelievers to reveal that judging a person by the color of their skin is about as reliable as judging a book by its cover. Coaches Banna and Blanco noted that Bear Bryant saw the light after Alabama was trounced by a USC team featuring black players. Today, no single race holds the license to chant "Roll Tide" because athletics have the ability to colorblind people as demonstrated in Remember the Titans. Coach Gosnell took these lessons and applied them when he integrated St. Martinville High School, enduring serious criticism when he started a black quarterback, Raymond Fontenot. My brother Mike Kreamer also coached at, and is now principal of, St. Martinville High School following his time playing for Coach Banna and applies these lessons daily. In the end, Judge Haik would preside over the entire desegregation process in our region as a federal judge—who knew.
At the end of my interview I asked these football statesmen to comment on the state of the game today. Judge Haik, Coach Gosnell and I teased Coach Banna and Blanco about how their water break policies when we played for them (tough guys don't need water breaks, or if they do, suck the water from a towel and swallow a few salt tablets) would get them sued today. They laughed and acknowledged that the times have changed, for the better in their opinion. The equipment is better, the facilities are better, the coaches are smarter. The concussion related changes are a good thing. Coaches Banna and Blanco simply coached what they learned in high school and college, which was fundamentally based on toughness and precision execution, and had no exposure beyond that to instructions on the game, motivation and related topics. Today there is vastly more information and training available to the coaches so it is only natural they will be smarter. These men love the game and its ability to teach life lessons so they support these changes and abhor the idea that any player would ever be coached to intentionally injure an opponent through spearing—Judge Haik can confirm this first hand. The negatives of the game are vastly outweighed by its positives.
Great coaches, through their respective sports, mold players into leaders at home, in the workplace and in our society. Responsibility, commitment and team work are taught through athletics, but the lessons transcend the field of competition and make us all better off. Coaches are grossly underpaid for their work, but keep working as hard as they demand from their players. Thus, from all of us who have benefitted beyond our ability to measure, please accept this as our profound thanks; and thank God for great coaches!
Post script: this article was originally written in May of 2016. Three months later I have observed more proof supporting my thesis in the form of young athletes all over Lafayette Parish helping total strangers simply because the help was needed. As STM Coach Shane Savoie said in a speech given on August 23, 2016, producing humans with such great character is what their jobs are all about, and I, for one, thank God for these great coaches every day.

Myanmar government warns student protesters to stop march seeking educational reforms
YANGON, Myanmar – Myanmar's government has warned student protesters against marching to Yangon to seek educational reforms, saying "action will be taken" to restore law and order if they go ahead.
The special announcement on state television on Friday night did not elaborate on the threat, which could include a confrontation with security forces and mass arrests.
Hundreds of students from across the country have been marching from Myanmar's second largest city of Mandalay to Yangon, the old capital, demanding changes to a proposed law that they say would prohibit students from engaging in political activities and curb academic freedom.
The two sides reached a tentative agreement on Wednesday, but the students say they will not stop their march until they are certain that parliament will approve their demands.

It's over.
District Attorney Scott Storey took two swings at prosecuting former Jeffco treasurer Mark Paschall after Paschall was accused of soliciting a kickback on his way out of the treasurer's office. Both times Storey missed.
He's decided not to risk a strikeout.
SOUTH JEFFCO — A Hitchcock-esque tale unfolded recently in South Jeffco when a pair of feuding neighbors told their stories to a deputy. It seems one of the apartment dwellers had cried foul because of his neighbor's loud music, but rather than simply squawk about it, the man allegedly persuaded local birds to drop bombs on his neighbor's vehicle.
Embattled South Jeffco school board member Vince Chowdhury has resigned his seat effective Aug. 21.
"I have made this decision after a long conversation with my family," Chowdhury said in an e-mail to supporters of his Democratic primary campaign for House District 22. He lost the primary Aug. 12 to Camille Ryckman. "It is extremely difficult for me to step down; however, I must do what is in the best interest of my family."
The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has lifted fire restrictions for the county effective at 3 p.m. on Aug. 18.
Recent rainfall and cooler temperatures have reduced the danger of wildfire. However, people are encouraged to be vigilant, as the danger of fire is always present in the high country.
Colorado Secretary of State Mike Coffman defeated three fellow Republicans in the Aug. 12 primary to replace outgoing 6th District Congressman Tom Tancredo. In Jefferson County returns, Coffman bested businessman Wil Armstrong by roughly 10 percentage points.
In overall final results, Coffman tallied 40.1 percent of the vote, compared to 32.8 percent for Armstrong, a business leader and son of former Sen. Bill Armstrong. Highlands Ranch state Sen. Ted Harvey was in third place with 15.3 percent, and Centennial state Sen. Steve Ward had 11.8 percent.
After a months-long application process, 84 nonprofit organizations from all over Jefferson County will likely receive more than $987,000 from the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District.
The Jeffco commissioners took recommendations on disbursing Jeffco's share of the SCFD money from the Jeffco Cultural Council on Aug. 5.
Jefferson County Judge Judy Archuleta should not be retained by voters this November, according to a review by the Commission on Judicial Performance.
Archuleta is the only Jeffco judge of 17 who will appear on Jeffco ballots in November to receive such a recommendation, and the only one of the 104 judges that were reviewed statewide to receive it.
Faye Griffin and Sue Windels — the two veteran politicians vying to replace outgoing District 1 County Commissioner Jim Congrove — raised just half the money that the District 2 candidates pulled in during the filing period that ended July 17.
Griffin, a Republican and the Jefferson County treasurer, reported raising $9,832.85 between Dec. 2, 2007, and July 17, 2008, according to a state filing. Windels, the term-limited Democratic state senator from District 19, reported raising $26,387.27 during the same time period.
SOUTH JEFFCO — One South Jeffco woman apparently had so much on her mind Aug. 1 that she was oblivious to her own attempt to swipe makeup from the King Soopers on West Belleview Avenue. A deputy responded to the store shortly before noon that day on a theft report. The store's security guard said he watched the woman through the surveillance system grab a Maybelline product, carry it to a different part of the store and put it in her purse. The 48-year-old woman, with nary a blush, said it was all a mistake. "That was an accident," the accidental thief said.
In his first full interview since his arrest and guilty plea for slapping his daughter, embattled school board member and defeated House candidate Vince Chowdhury says he has apologized and hopes people will consider his entire career in public service when evaluating him as a person.

Alas, my sweet "Ruby" is no more :(As my uncle David often feared, it actually wasn't some off-track excursion that ended her life prematurely. Instead, it was an elderly (80-something) woman who failed to yield right-of-way and tried to cross an intersection as I was traveling through it. I thought "#!*%@, I'm going to hit her" and then, the next thing I knew, it was all over with and the airbags had already receded. The airbags did their job and, at the time, I had nary a scratch or bruise (in fact, my sunglasses, which I was wearing at the time, weren't even touched). For as low speed a collision as it was (~40mph) I happened to hit her directly on her driver's rear wheel which, being a fairly strong part of the old Lincoln she was driving, sufficiently flattened Ruby's nose. The elder woman was ticketed and the cops all agreed it was her fault. My lease is up in July and I was planning on buying her out since there really isn't another car made right now with as much soul or character as she had. So I'm not sure what I'll move into next – I really didn't plan on having this decision to make.

If a patient is consenting to the change, they should be able to get it. However, there are some doctors who may not agree with it and doing so would be against their religious beliefs. In these cases, the doctors should be able to refuse to do the operation because it does not line up with their religion.
The key word there is "consenting." If an adult has given informed consent to a medical procedure, there is no reason why it shouldn't be performed. The reasons may come across as strange to others who are not involved, but one of the marks of a free society is that we tolerate behavior that we perceive as strange as long as it is not harmful to others or the society as a whole.
Why not? If the adult in question wants it, and the doctor is willing to perform it, who are we to tell them they cannot proceed? It's no one's business except the doctor and his or her patient, simple as that really. I personally may not wish for a sex change, but I won't begrudge those that do, different strokes for different folks you know? So yes, doctors should be allowed to change the sexual orientation of consenting patients, there's no reason they should not be.
Changing the sex of someone through hormone therapy and surgery may be a drastic medical procedure. However, if adults want to change their bodies in such a way, then doctors should be able to perform the necessary tasks. Sex change operations may be strange, weird and not mainstream medical practice. However, there is a need for such procedures and doctors should fill the niche.

To be fair I've only done 18 in the last four weeks. 12 of the archers were done a bit earlier.Delete

June 2013, Auto Dealer Today - Feature
by Philip Barras
- Also by this author
Phillip Barras, vice president of dealer services for Dominion Dealer Solutions email@example.com
It takes more than technical know-how to maximize your CRM tool. The experts agree that process, accountability and personal leadership are the keys to success.
Recently, I had the most profound "Aha!" moment. It occurred while reading "Selling Cars in the Digital Age," a book Brian Pasch and members of his PCG Consulting team collaborated on. For years, I have challenged dealers to recognize the importance of process, accountability and personal leadership in maximizing the impact of their dealership solutions. I have emphasized the fact that combining this triumvirate with CRM product integration into the dealership database creates an overwhelmingly powerful capability.
In most cases, dealers continued to solely rely on current CRM technology to somehow accomplish these changes by itself. But here, right in my hands, I found myself holding a highly accurate explanation of why technology in and of itself is not enough to guarantee success.
Furthermore, process and accountability are required to unleash the power that accompanies CRM. Pasch's book only reinforced what I have long considered to be facts etched in stone and discussed with dealer principals and general managers for years. This caused me to exclaim out loud, as I was reading, "Aha! But will they get it, and will they do anything about it?" One can only hope.
Dealer principals and general managers must be challenged to lead by example and hold managers accountable to the processes and procedures they establish. Employees properly executing the policies, procedures and methodologies of the dealership can and will unleash the power of the CRM at that dealership.
In previous articles, I've noted that technical tools do not immediately guarantee success. They need a foundation in the same way a building needs a strong framework. Otherwise, the dealership has just wasted a lot of money on whatever tool or system has been purchased.
Once processes and structures are defined, the leadership team can implement proper accountability at the dealership to achieve maximum results. If done properly, the combination of process and technology produces highly satisfactory results. Accountability and manager follow-up is essential, and the GM or dealer principal should be involved in the inspection process. In short, get out of your office and be the leader/operator you are supposed to be.
Spend the time to successfully integrate leadership, process and technology into a powerful juggernaut to drive sustained success at the dealership. Take the time to acquire the keys that will help to transform your dealership. If you're successful, I will get to say, "Aha! They finally got it!"

A handsome pair of tables. What exactly is "toasted maple" ?
-- Dwight - "Free legal advice available - contact Dewey, Cheetam & Howe""
#2 posted 08-02-2012 03:18 AM
Toasted maple is soft maple that goes through a special kiln process to caramelize the the sugars in the wood…the caramelized sugars give the wood its color.
p.s. I like the "Car Talk" shout out

Great looking tables, I'm sure she is real happy!

Wow! These are very nice, well executed! I love the wood choice.

Hey – beautiful tables. Are you not at all worried about the longer boards of the glue up expanding across the grain and cracking the shorter ones (perpendicular)? Or do you have some hidden joinery to limit wood movement?
#6 posted 08-03-2012 11:03 PM
The tongue and groove joint is only glued along the center board to allow for freer movement. Also, I have used this method before on similar pieces and so far have had good luck and the roasted maple moves very little due to the kiln process it goes through.
-- Power to the people.
#7 posted 08-20-2012 10:16 PM
Ah that makes sense – I missed those images. Do you have any kind of trick for getting the tongue to be the same length as the groove (ie not having any kind of gap)?
Have your say...

Numbness of the feet can be the result of medical treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, bunion or other foot surgery, as stated by Healthline, Mayo Clinic and The Center for Podiatric Care and Sports Medicine. Foot numbness may also occur from a cast that is too tight, claims Healthgrades.
Foot numbness is usually the result of a lack of blood supply to the area or nerve damage, according to Cancer.net. However, treatments such as radiation therapy may cause nerve injury, which can lead to foot numbness. Similarly, treatments of chemotherapy, particularly in high doses, can also cause nerve injury.
While medical treatments can occasionally cause temporary or permanent foot numbness, there are often underlying causes, claims Mayo Clinic. These may include vitamin B-12 deficiency, syphilis, spinal cord injury, shingles, Raynaud's disease, Lyme disease, a herniated disc or brain aneurysm, among other conditions.
Muscular sclerosis, fibromyalgia, nerve damage resulting from diabetes or other medical conditions can also cause foot numbness, states Healthline. Substance abuse can also cause foot numbness due to nerve damage. If numbness in the foot is ongoing, one should seek medical treatment to determine the underlying cause. If prolonged foot numbness is not treated, it can cause more permanent damage, reports Healthgrades. This may include permanent pain, permanent loss of feeling, paralysis, inability to walk, foot impairment or disability and may even result in amputation.

Information about inexpensive freezer lights can be found on Amazon, ApplianceZone.com and Repair Clinic. These sites have a large selection of freezer light products to replace broken bulbs or lights.
Amazon has detailed pages for each freezer light product that includes specifications, a general description and technical details. The information is carefully organized so that it is easy to find the exact information the user needs when searching for a product to purchase. Users can also leave reviews that provide personal hands-on knowledge and experience about the item. The main list of freezer lights can be sorted by price to find the cheapest option, or filtered by price range to exclude expensive choices. Since other dealers can sell on Amazon's marketplace, many products have multiple price points for both new and used pieces.
ApplianceZone.com has less information but lists what brands and models each piece is compatible with. The product page also lists the size of the item, the list price, site price and amount of money saved, so users can instantly compare prices and savings.
Repair Clinic (repairclinic.com) also lists the brand and model that each item can be used with. The image of each product includes a grid that ensures users get an accurate idea of how large the piece is.

Hi everyone!
Even though spring and summer are my favorite seasons, I find myself enjoying the stillness and quiet that comes from a freshly fallen snow.
I'm sharing a few of my favorites from this winter. I hope you enjoy!
You never know what you might see on an early morning walk. I'm sure someone is going to have some lovely Christmas cards for 2016. I loved her props.
She came waddling towards me and just stopped...poor thing, her wings look like they're broken.
It's very cold and snowing here today. I'm thinking Albert has the right idea....
Thank you for stopping by. I hope you have a quiet and peaceful week.

They were made to pay for their profligacy when Kevin Gall equalised for the hosts midway through the second half.
"We should have won. We need that ruthless streak to take more of our chances and see games out once we are in front," said Allen. "There's a massive tinge of disappointment that we didn't win. The players know they should have put that game to bed."
Allen hailed striker Richards for his goal, and believes his side can build on their performance in the north east.
He added: "Richards deserved his goal and could have had three. He has pace and desire and it's great to have a player performing like that. There is loads of desire and energy in this side and there is plenty that we can build on as the season progresses."

Advertisers say Web site audits are becoming more important in their media buying decisions. But there's still a big gap between what they say they want and what they're getting.
Currently, only about 20% of the 1,200 to 1,500 ad-supported Web sites are audited, according to estimates from Jupiter Communications and audit bureaus.
And while these audited sites account for the vast majority of traffic on the Web--at least 80%, according to industry estimates--that still leaves many small and midsize sites that aren't providing this service to advertisers.
"The biggest resistance [from Web sites] is that they say the media buying community is not asking for audits," said Peter Black, senior VP-marketing at auditor BPA Interactive, New York, which has about 40 Web clients, including CMPnet, Four11 and beZerk.com.
"Until media buyers demand it, [Web sites] don't want to spend the money to do it," he said, pointing to a rough cost of $8,000 a year for BPA's auditing reports.
But that's not what some Web sites and networks are saying.
"The first thing [advertisers] ask me is, `Where's the audit?' " said Anna Zornosa, senior VP-advertising sales for push service PointCast Network, Cupertino, Calif., which today announces its first audit by the Audit Bureau of Circulations.
Among the findings from the PointCast audit is verified traffic of more than 1 million users per month, who spend an average of 30 minutes per day interacting with PointCast advertising, Ms. Zornosa said.
"Until you have something audited, the media community doesn't accept it as real," she added.
ABC, Schaumburg, Ill., has about 80 Web clients, including Yahoo!, ZDNet and C/NET.
There are several reasons why more sites may not be taking advantage of third-party audits.
One has been a lack of standards that define what is being measured. The industry is trying to solve that problem, with the Internet Advertising Bureau last week releasing its guidelines for measurement of comparable online data.
The guidelines, available at IAB's Web site, define basic media measurement terms, such as page requests, for sites collecting their own data and for third-party measurement and audit companies.
Once the guidelines are implemented, advertisers should have more consistent, comparable information to help them make media buying decisions across Web sites.
"We will have reporting that Madison Avenue can believe in," said Rich LeFurgy, SVP-advertising at ESPN/ABC News Internet Ventures and chairman of the IAB.
Another issue is that many advertisers say they want more than just traffic reports from third-party auditors. They want to verify delivery of ad impressions, click-through rates and other ad activity at the site.
"I don't care if you have 30 million page views or 3 million page views," said John Nardone, director of media research at TN Technologies Modem Media, Westport, Conn. "I just want to make sure my pages are delivered."
Other advertisers agree.
"At a particular stage, clients are going to need to have some form of assurance that they got what they bought," said Rishad Tobaccowala, president of Leo Burnett USA's Giant Step interactive agency, Chicago, referring to proof of ad impressions delivered.
"They're going to need to find that data from someone besides the person who took their money," he said, referring to Web sites.
While many Web sites do provide advertisers with reports showing ad impressions delivered and click-through rates--generated either in-house or by software companies such as NetGravity and Focalink--advertisers say they need this information to be verified by an outside auditor.
But that's where the message is getting lost. Virtually all of the auditing bureaus have for some time been providing reports that audit not just Web traffic, but ad impressions and click-throughs.
The BPA has been providing advertiser-specific audit reporting, verifying total ad impressions served, number of ad clicks and click-through percentage, by day and by week, for more than a year, for $200 a month. So far, not one client has signed up for it.
"Unless [advertisers] are putting pressure on the sites, [sites] are not going to be interested," said Glenn Hansen, senior VP-auditing at BPA.
Web auditor Internet Profiles Corp. (I/PRO), San Francisco, has a similar report, called a post-buy audit report. Priced at $100 a month, the report audits ad views, page views, ad clicks and click-through percentages. Only about 10% of I/PRO's clients now subscribe.
I/PRO's pre-buy reports, which verify a site's traffic, cost $750 a month. I/PRO has about 75 clients subscribing to its pre-buy audits, including ComputerWorld, Cox Interactive Media, Digital City Chicago and other sites.
Mr. Reed said demand for the post-buy reports has been growing over the last three to four months, as technology has developed that lets Web sites rotate banner ads.
With banner rotation, advertisers need reports that show how many of their ads are actually being delivered, he said.
"It's definitely a communications issue," Mr. Reed said. "Advertisers are just now starting to realize they need to go beyond the question of asking, `Are you audited?' "
There does seem to be an increasing effort among auditors to deliver their message to advertisers and Web sites.
ABC is now working with NetGravity to design "auditability" into NetGravity's 3.0 ad server software, by ensuring that NetGravity collects sufficient data to reflect still-developing measurement standards.
ABC is also creating an interface between its audit software and NetGravity's server software, which will be beta tested with Hot Wired (www.hotwired.com) starting today.
Meanwhile, BPA has introduced a software certification service for companies that provide counting and traffic analysis.
And I/PRO is pitching its post-buy audit reports at every presentation, Mr. Reed said.
Now, advertisers, Web sites and auditors need to keep communicating their issues, to make sure everyone is on the same page.
