jhs1 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 94 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
Iris Couch
Web server and database hosting, used by web and mobile app developers
http://couchone.jhs.couchone.com/get -- This is a backup of the old company page. Customers liked it and I hope they feel familiar and comfortable on the new site. The form I described is here. Notice that many pages follow the theme of **very simple graphic or text above the fold** then details below.
http://www.couchbase.com/ -- Note the logo is just a font, the "big welcome graphic", the clean, clear text.
http://vowsjs.org/ -- This an open source project, not a company. However they have the "big fat graphic" (although it is actually an introduction), with the real content almost below the fold.
http://http://heroku.com/ -- Another site that uses a clever color palette with simple layout to be both pretty and useful.
http://twitter.com/ -- Besides the scripting, the layout is pretty simple and usable, with good colors.
http://http://www.rsync.net/ -- The design is old, maybe too simple, too plain. However it loads fast and it respects users by having a clean, clear layout.
1) Landing page. There is a small amount of text content explaining the site. A large, pleasant graphic is there, similar to some of the example sites. This reminds users that we are from the same web development community as many of those sites. The logo is there, with slogan line "Cloud CouchDB".
A menu (either header or sidebar, whatever looks good) links to other pages. For now, there are 4 links: Service, FAQ, Support, Company. But it would be helpful if the design had room for one or two more for the future. See the comparison websites, many have this format.
The footer has four link columns: Company (which has links "About", "Contact"), News (with links "Blog", "Twitter"), Legal ("Terms of Service", "Privacy Policy", Code ("CouchApp.org", "GitHub"). Finally there is a copyright notice, 2011 Iris Couch.
2. Content page. All pages besides the landing page use this format. It keeps the same theme, but there is more space for content. The same menu is available, perhaps with a different layout. The same footer is present too, again optionally modified if necessary.
In this page, please show this form, looking as friendly as possible. (You can change the label positions if you have a suggestion.)

As with the the example sites or a good iPhone app, the site should immediately feel like it respects your time by being pretty and easy to understand. The site should be fast to load. Therefore, the clean design should be easy to implement in HTML and CSS. The logo is simply "Iris Couch" rendered in a nice font.
Since the name is "Iris", an iris theme might be good. "Iris" has three meanings: (1) The flower, (2) The color #5A4FCF, (3) the colored part of an eyeball. Feel free to use any definition, or to ignore them completely if you don't like to design with purple, or eyeballs.

TORONTO - Stock markets are likely in for tough slogging again this week as traders grapple with uncertainty caused by escalating geopolitical troubles in Ukraine, Iraq and Gaza.
"I think we're dealing with some complex issues," said Jean-Francois Dion, portfolio advisor, Wealth Management, RBC Dominion Securities.
"There are no easy solutions here and we will likely be dealing with these situations for awhile here."
The Toronto market ended last week more or less flat, down 19 points, which still left the TSX up 11.56 per cent year to date. The Dow industrials ended the week with a gain of 61 points or 0.37 per cent amid reports Friday afternoon that Russia had ended military exercises on its border with Ukraine.
But the rally that capped Friday trading left many market-watchers unimpressed.
"Nothing has changed, it was all technically driven on a Friday afternoon in the summer," said Colin Cieszynski, senior markets analyst at CMC Markets Canada.
"It's more short-covering and less exuberance. You just had people shorting (the market) throughout the week and they were just closing out positions before the weekend."
Russia is the biggest geopolitical concern for two reasons.
There are worries that Russia could actually invade its neighbour if it appears that Ukrainian rebels supported by Russia are in danger of collapsing under the onslaught of Ukrainian military forces.
"Oh, the minute we see headlines on the screen that Russian soldiers have moved into Ukraine, it's game off. It's basically what everyone is afraid of and it is what is being baked into the markets," said Andrew Pyle, senior wealth advisor and portfolio manager at ScotiaMcLeod in Peterborough, Ont.
But also casting a pall over sentiment is the worry about the effect of sanctions and countersanctions on a fragile European economic recovery.
Concerns about economic strength in the region increased last week in the wake of data showing that Italy slipped technically into recession during the second quarter. And German industrial orders fell and industrial production rose only 0.3 per cent in June, less than expected.
Investors worry about how the data could worsen in future quarters as it reflects the effects of sanctions. Russia moved last week to retaliate against Canada, the U.S. and European Union by blocking shipments of food from any country that has levied sanctions against it.
"The effects are real," Pyle said. "Ukraine, at the end of the day, changes a lot of the variables out there significantly."
As far as the damage that the sanctions regime will cause to the Toronto stock market, Pyle said it's not a matter of individual sectors getting hit, but rather a malaise that would affect the entire market.
"If we are impacting agricultural production in Canada, yeah, there will be less demand for fertilizer, less demand for equipment that tills the land and so forth," he said.
"But really, the impact on the stock market is going to be more the general impact just from the tension."
There could also be a silver lining for the TSX since the market could benefit from gold stocks rising alongside bullion prices as traders opt for safety.
Adding to market jitters going into the weekend was Iraq, where American warplanes bombed Islamic militants.
The airstrike came after President Barack Obama on Thursday authorized U.S. airstrikes in northern Iraq, warning they would be launched to defend American troops and civilians under siege from Islamic State militants.
On top of this, there was a breakdown in the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
The TSX decline came despite what was a generally positive run of earnings reports last week.
"We've seen a very decent earnings season, both from Candian and U.S. companies, some fairly upbeat guidance at least in most sectors, and generally some better than expected numbers," said Dion.
"These numbers on the whole have been welcomed positively from investors but most of that has been overshadowed by the geopolitical component here."
The earnings season has pretty much wound down and now investors are looking ahead to next week when the big banks start to post quarterly results.

As the Berkshires biggest city, Pittsfield can claim a rich history in agriculture, industry, literature, and baseball. But over the last century, as owners shuttered mills and General Electric relocated many of its manufacturing facilities, Pittsfield's economic fortunes slid. Today, the city of about 44,000 is experiencing something of a renaissance, with a thriving arts and cultural scene and numerous opportunities to enjoy the natural beauty of the Berkshires.
The Whitehorse Inn (378 South St., 413-442-2512, www.whitehorsebb.com, rates $115-$250) is a beautifully maintained Colonial home next to the Housatonic River that offers delicious breakfasts with fresh fruit, homemade breads, and a convenient location near downtown cultural attractions. Hollyhock House (1130 Barker Road, 413-443-6901, www.hollyhockbb.com, rates $85-$150) offers three comfortable rooms, hardy breakfasts featuring homemade pastries and farm eggs, beautifully manicured gardens, and service with a smile from innkeeper Louise Filkins. Pittsfield has a handful of chain hotels available, but the Crowne Plaza Hotel Berkshires (1 West St., 413-499-2000, www.berkshirecrowne.com, rates $125-$285) is located in the heart of downtown and features an indoor pool and a full-service restaurant.
Visitors will find much to like from among a variety of offerings. The Misty Moonlight Diner (565 Dalton Ave., 413-499-2483, entrees $6.25-$14.99) serves breakfast all day in a '50s-themed diner with a vintage Harley-Davidson on display and Elvis on the jukebox. If you're looking for an epic eating challenge, tuck into the Godzilla, which includes a dozen eggs, home fries, and toast. It must be finished in a half-hour to win a T-shirt. On a Roll Cafe (75 North Street Suite 140, 413-236-5671, www.onarollcafeandcatering.com, sandwiches and salads $6.50-$10) has unusual and enticing offerings such as a barbecue chicken meatloaf sandwich and a pan-seared dill and cider salmon. Mazzeo's (1015 South St., 413-448-2095, www.mazzeosristorante.com, entrees $17-$30) is a second-generation family-owned restaurant featuring Italian cuisine with homemade pasta, chicken, veal, and seafood. Flavours Restaurant (75 North St., entrance on McKay Street, 413-443-3188, www.flavoursintheberkshires.com, entrees $6.50-$20) offers authentic Malaysian cuisine in a casual atmosphere. One-of-a-kind dishes include steamed ginger and garlic baby clams in black bean sauce.
Pittsfield has built a reputation as a regional hub for year-round cultural, creative, and outdoor pursuits. On the first Friday of every month, downtown retailers, businesses, and restaurants on North and South streets transform their spaces into art galleries for the First Fridays Artswalk (413-443-6501, www.firstfridaysartswalk.com, free admission). Visitors can meet local artists at over 20 locations and view their work. The Berkshire Museum (39 South St., 413-443-7171, www.berkshiremuseum.org, admission $6-$13) is a rare treasure because of its ability to connect with visitors by combining exhibits of art, history, and natural science in one museum. The museum will display the Festival of Trees through Jan. 2 with more than 100 holiday trees decorated to celebrate the nostalgia of the past, excitement of the present, and the possibilities of the future. The Lichtenstein Center for the Arts (28 Renne Ave., 413-499-9348, www.discoverpittsfield.com) hosts changing art shows with local artists in addition to classes, readings, and performances. Herman Melville's Arrowhead home and museum may be closed during the winter, but the Melville Memorial Room at the Berkshire Athenaeum (1 Wendell Ave., 413-499-9480, ext. 204, www.pittsfieldlibrary.org/melville_room.html, free admission) contains an extensive collection of first-edition Melville works; paintings, prints, and autographs of the Melville family; and manuscripts, letters, and vintage volumes from Melville's library. Cold, wintry weather only expands outdoor activity in Pittsfield because conveniently located Bousquet Mountain (101 Dan Fox Drive, 413-442-8316, www.bousquets.com, lift tickets $15-$45) offers over 20 trails of terrain for skiers of all ability levels.

Canoe Meadows Wildlife Sanctuary (Holmes Road, 413-637-0320, www.massaudobon.org ) is a mere mile from the center of town with three miles of trails and a community garden along the Housatonic River. The Downtown Pittsfield group is promoting healthy exercise with the 2-mile Downtown Walking Loop (www.downtownpittsfield.com/downtown-loop ) that passes by the Colonial Theater, Park Square, and other downtown landmarks. Holiday shoppers should check out Persnickety Toys (137 North St., 413-236-8697), which features unique toys not found in big-box stores. Guido's Fresh Marketplace (1020 South St., 413-442-9912, www.guidosfreshmarketplace.com) offers the freshest local produce, meats, and organic foods, in addition to wine tastings and nutritional seminars.
At the center of Pittsfield's cultural renaissance is the Colonial Theater (111 South St., 413-997-4444, www.berkshiretheatregroup.org,) home to the Berkshire Theatre Group. Over $20 million was invested into restoring this historic theater where such legends as John Barrymore and Sarah Bernhardt once performed. Today more than a dozen different shows offer multiple performances throughout the year including "The Nutcracker'' and "A Christmas Carol'' in December. The highly regarded Barrington Stage Company (30 Union St., 413-236-8888, www.barringtonstageco.org ) begins its new season of performances in January. For live music, there are a number of fantastic options. The Underground Pub at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (see above) hosts local bands on Saturday nights. The Garage in the Colonial Theater showcases local acts in a range of genres. Missions Bar and Tapas (438 North St., www.missionbarandtapas.com) offers jazz on Mondays.

Broward County
Teen directors hope to make it big
Claire Braverman and Tori Taylor are much like other 14-year-olds. Best friends, both believe in the transformative power of a new hairdo — "when you change your hair, you change your life," Claire says. After school, they like to walk around the mall. Claire is always on her phone.
But unlike their fellow middle schoolers, Claire and Tori spent part of eighth grade working on a television pilot.
Two creative teenagers trying to make it big in Hollywood sounds like a television show itself. But Claire and Tori's project is real, drawing hopeful actors from several states. Much of their brainstorming on the pilot, set in a mental-health facilityfor teens and funded by a shoestring budget, was done during lunchtime.
"We didn't eat lunch with our friends — we just sat in the corner and worked on it," Tori said. Some teachers even let them work on the script during spare class time. During the search for a volunteer casting director, they sometimes had to dash out of class to make business calls.
At one point, they said, a teacher told them, "You're not television executives, you're junior high students."
"We're both," Claire responded.
Claire and Tori met in multimedia class at American Heritage School in Plantation at the start of eighth grade. Both live in Davie, but Claire was new to the school. The first time they hung out, they made a video.
The idea for the pilot surfaced in March, on a whim. Claire came up with the idea of a television show set in a mental-health facility. At first, Tori thought Claire was joking. Not knowing how to proceed, they wrote a script and showed it to a family friend in the entertainment industry. His response: "This sucks."
But the girls weren't dissuaded. School was still in session, so they rewrote the script "whenever we could," Claire said. They finally finished all 45 pages in early June.
The pilot — titled Imbalanced — takes place at a residential facility for mentally ill adolescents. Tori called Imbalanced a typical teen drama with a twist — the setting. The youngest member of their cast and crew is 12, the oldest 28. Some flew in from as far as Kentucky.
Chandler Storm, an aspiring teenage actor who traveled from Atlanta to play a role in the pilot, said he is impressed by Tori and Claire's work on the project, as well as their initiative.
"As soon as we finished a shot, Tori would go back and edit it — that very night," he said.
Imbalanced takes on heavy subjects like mental health and eating disorders. The issues hit close to home for the two girls, who have struggled with anxiety and the stigma associated with it.
The premise of Imbalanced emerged from earlier short film work the girls did on mental health problems. Tori and Claire said they are drawn to the subject because they feel mental health is usually either off-limits, or is dealt with one-dimensionally for its entertainment value. In addition to Imbalanced, Claire and Tori have made six short films together and entered 10 film festivals and competitions, placing internationally seven times, nationally once and statewide twice.
After a judge in a film competition for their age group called their entry "too metaphorical," the girls decided to stick to adult competitions.
"You don't really see people our age doing actual, meaningful films," Tori said.
Claire said that much of their work has a "dark-ish undertone."
"We thought about doing comedies to change it up, but we're pretty sure the only people who find us funny are ourselves," Claire said, laughing.
In the path to creating a pilot, there have been hiccups and challenges. Claire and Tori, who are co-writers, co-directors and co-producers, occasionally argue. The actress playing the main character, who was present in every scene, dropped out.
The girls operate on a barely-there budget. Everyone participating — from a local casting director to the actors — is volunteering, with the hope of a deferred payment if someone airs the series. The filming locations were donated, and Claire and Tori have to pay their parents back for the minor expenses incurred. They credit their parents with helping them get so far.
Mimi Taylor, Tori's mom, called it a no-brainer.
"I can't believe that 14-year-olds can be this determined, motivated and focused," she said. "How can I not support this?"
There is no guarantee that a television network will pick up their pilot, but Mimi Taylor says the family friend with entertainment ties plans to shop it around in the coming weeks.
If nobody bites, they plan to pitch it to Netflix or, as a backup, air it online as a Web series.
After that?
"We want to be on Ellen," Tori said.
Not to mention, they start high school in the fall.

Paroled violent and sex offenders who commit further serious crimes will be sent back to jail under changes which make Victoria's parole laws the toughest in the country.
Unveiling the reforms, Premier Ted Baillieu said existing laws had failed the community.
"Any instance of these laws failing is simply one instance too many," he told reporters.
Under the changes, serious offenders convicted of further serious crimes while on parole will have their parole cancelled automatically.
There will also be a presumption that offenders will have their parole cancelled at the point when they are charged with a new offence.
The bill, introduced into the Victorian parliament on Tuesday, comes after several murders were committed in the state by violent men who had been released on parole.
The Corp family, whose daughter Elsa was killed by a criminal on parole in 2010, has long pushed for stricter laws on parole violators.
Corrections Minister Andrew McIntosh said the changes were commonsense and would meet community expectations.
He said no other jurisdiction in Australia had such provisions in place for when parolees were charged with fresh crimes.
Adult Parole Board chair Justice Simon Whelan warned in its annual report last September that government changes to Victoria's sentencing regime would increase prison population growth, placing pressure on the parole system.
However, Mr McIntosh said the government believed the current system could cope with the changes.
He denied the presumption that cancelling parole for sex offenders and serious violent offenders who are charged with reoffending in a similar way would interfere with the presumption of innocence.
"Parole is a privilege, not a right," he said.
Last year about 600 Victorians were dealt with by the parole board for breaches.
Criminal Bar Association chairman Remy van de Wiel QC said it was fair that people on parole for murder or serious sexual crimes who went on to commit the same crimes again should lose parole automatically.
But Mr van de Wiel said the aim of parole was to help people reintegrate into the community, which was a difficult thing.
"Currently under the parole system there is a support structure in place, even though it's probably not as well funded as it ought to be," he said.
"You don't want a presumption that they're automatically going to lose their parole, because if you do, these people lose the benefit of the parole and what happens then? You get people to serve out a sentence and once they finish the sentence then there is no parole."
Mr van de Wiel said violent offenders who went on to commit further serious crimes were a fraction of the number of people on parole.
"They should not be used as a vehicle to really destroy the effectiveness of the parole system."
Opposition Leader Daniel Andrews said he was generally supportive of tougher parole regulations.
"We'll have a careful look at this," he said. "We're not interested in playing politics with this."

LOS ANGELES — It's not a good sign for the Detroit Pistons when "RIP Brandon Knight" is trending on Twitter.
The "killer," figuratively speaking, was Los Angeles Clippers center DeAndre Jordan.
The crime took place at the 4:32 mark of the second quarter during the Clippers' 129-97 assault of the Pistons on Sunday at the Staples Center.
WATCH: Jordan's slam up for dunk of the year
That's when 6-11 Jordan caught an alley-oop pass from superstar Chris Paul and dunked all over Knight.
Jordan caught the pass with his right hand, fended off 6-3 Knight with his left and smashed the dunk to the delight of the Staples Center crowd.
Knight hit the floor hard and laid there motionless for a few moments. He got called for a foul for his trouble.
The game was never in doubt as the Clippers had lob dunks and rained triples as the lead grew to as high as 34 before the lead was whittled during garbage time.
But at least Knight tried to stop the play, as he might have been the only Piston with any fight at all.
RESPONSE: Great tweet from Knight
"Brandon did what he was supposed to do," Pistons assistant coach Brian Hill said. "He tried to take a foul on the play and stop a dunk.
"Unfortunately, we didn't have enough guys that wanted to foul around the basket and take away easy baskets."
How's this for a defensive effort? The Pistons allowed 14 triples and 14 dunks as the Clippers shot 62.5% from the field.
The "effort" angered Pistons center Greg Monroe as he blasted the team.
"Maybe guys don't care," Monroe said. "Something has to change, though. This can't continue. If you don't want to play, just say it. This has got to stop. It's unacceptable.
"If you don't want to play, you should say it. This is unacceptable. It's gone on too long. If you don't want to be on the court, if you aren't going to give 100% on the court, then just don't play."
Hill added: "It was an embarrassment for us as a coaching staff and certainly an embarrassment for them as players."
Pistons head coach Lawrence Frank is away from the team as his wife deals with an illness.
Paul led the Clippers (44-20) with 20 points and 14 assists. Blake Griffin added 22 points and eight rebounds.
Jose Calderon led the Pistons (23-42) with 18 points and four assists. They have lost eight of nine games.
The Pistons' performances against Western Conference powerhouses have been borderline comical this season. You can add Sunday's 32-point beating to the 29-point thumping they took from the surging Los Angeles Lakers in the first week of the season.
Then the San Antonio Spurs topped that with a 39-point thrashing March 3.
The Pistons are now a stunning 1-15 against the top nine teams in the Western Conference. And the losses are seldom close as the average margin of defeat in those 15 losses is nearly 13 points per game.
With a visit to Utah coming Monday and a trip to Golden State on Wednesday night that mark will probably worsen.

Visitor trapped in jail for about 30 hours
A man who went to visit his son at the Cook County jail ended up trapped in a visiting room for more than 30 hours.
CHICAGO — A visitor to Chicago's Cook County Jail was trapped inside for about 30 hours over the July Fourth weekend.
WBBM-AM reports (http://cbsloc.al/1kBWFyX ) a man was in the jail's maximum security division visiting his son when he went into a room that wasn't being used. The room's door was propped open by contractors installing cameras.
Jail Executive Director Cara Smith says the door closed, locking the visitor inside from about 6 p.m. Saturday until 1 a.m. Monday.
Smith says the man pounded on the door, but its thickness muffled his efforts. The man drew attention to his plight by breaking a fire sprinkler head to summon the fire department.
Smith says investigators are trying to determine why the door was open and why no one noticed the man hadn't checked out.

Jonathan Edwards
Edwards, Jonathan (1703–58, American theologian and metaphysician)
Jonathan Edwards, 1703–58, American theologian and metaphysician, b. East Windsor (then in Windsor), Conn. He was a precocious child, early interested in things scientific, intellectual, and spiritual. After graduating from Yale at 17, he studied theology, preached (1722–23) in New York City, tutored (1724–26) at Yale, and in 1727 became the colleague of his grandfather, Solomon Stoddard, in the ministry at Northampton, Mass. In 1729, on his grandfather's death, Edwards took sole charge of the congregation. The young minister was not long in gaining a wide following by his forceful preaching and powerful logic. These abilities were in the best Calvinist tradition and were enriched by his reading in philosophy, notably Berkeley and Locke.
Edwards's favorite themes were predestination and the absolute dependence of humble man upon God and divine grace, which alone could save humanity. He rejected with fire the Arminian (see Remonstrants) modification of these Calvinist doctrines. He exhorted his hearers with great effect and in 1734–35 held a religious revival in Northampton that in effect brought the Great Awakening to New England. Edwards was stern in demanding strict orthodoxy and fervent zeal from his congregation. He was unbending in a controversy over tests for church membership, and in 1750 his congregation dismissed him from Northampton. At Stockbridge, Mass., where he went to care for the Native American mission and to minister to a small white congregation, he completed his theological masterpiece, The Freedom of the Will (1754), which sets forth metaphysical and ethical arguments for determinism. In 1757 Edwards was called to be president of the College of New Jersey (now Princeton), but he died a few months later.
Edwards's influence on American Christian thought was immense for a time, and he is often regarded as the last of the great New England Calvinists. However, his emphasis on personal religious experience and his use of the revival, leading to the Great Awakening, were partially responsible for the advent of evangelical revivalism, which was based on a belief contrary to Calvinist doctrine—that salvation was possible without predestined election. His theological writings are perhaps less read today than his more casual writings and some of his burning and poetic sermons, such as Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God and God Glorified in the Work of Redemption by the Greatness of Man's Dependence on Him in the Whole of It.

CHICAGO, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- The NFL has fined Houston Texans linebacker Tim Dobbins $30,000 for his hit on Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, multiple reports indicated Wednesday.
Cutler suffered a concussion on the apparent head shot delivered by Dobbins in Sunday's 13-6 Houston victory over the Bears at Soldier Field.
The Bears signal-caller didn't return after halftime and his status for Monday's game against San Francisco was not clear.
ESPN and NFL.com cited league sources they did not name as saying Dobbins had been assessed the hefty fine, which he is likely to appeal.
Dobbins told reporters after the game he felt it was a clean hit to Cutler's chest, but replays appeared to show Dobbins' helmet striking the quarterback's chin, constituting banned head-to-head contact.
Bears Coach Lovie Smith said Wednesday Cutler was "feeling a whole lot better," but didn't say whether he would start next week, the Chicago Tribune reported.
The newspaper said Cutler was at the Bears' complex Wednesday the team's staff was "still evaluating him" -- and noted the team isn't resuming practice until Thursday.
"He's meeting with people, seeing medical staff, our trainers and all of that. But he is getting better. We do have a little bit more time and that is always good."
Chicago would be expected to go with Jason Campbell if Cutler can't play, though the Bears re-signed Josh McCown Tuesday to provide another option.

Lois Lerner pleads the Fifth
Lois Lerner, the director of the scandal-plagued IRS division that oversees nonprofit groups, struck a defiant tone in her first public appearance since the agency acknowledged that it wrongly targeted conservative groups applying for a tax exemption.
"I have not done anything wrong," she told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today. "I have not broken any laws. I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations, and I have not provided false information to this or any other committee."
Story Continued Below
Lerner refused to answer additional questions from the committee and invoked her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself. She sparked the scandal on May 10 when she told a Washington legal conference that the IRS inappropriately scrutinized nonprofit groups if they had ties to organizations like the tea party.
( PHOTOS: Fifth Amendment use on the Hill)
Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) tried to keep Lerner at the witness table by arguing that she waived her Fifth Amendment protection by giving an opening statement. Maryland Rep. Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on the oversight committee, said she was still allowed to invoke the Fifth Amendment because she wasn't speaking in a courtroom.
Rep. Darrell Issa, the California Republican who chairs the committee, tried to coax Lerner into staying by offering to narrow the scope of questions. When she refused, Issa told Lerner she could leave but is subject to being recalled as the hearing plays out.
Republicans were skeptical that Lerner had done nothing wrong. At a separate House hearing, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew was pressed on whether he agreed with Lerner.
( Also on POLITICO: Witnesses gone wild)
"I'm going to wait until we have all the facts," Lew told the House Financial Services Committee.
Lew told lawmakers he plans to meet with the new acting IRS Commissioner Daniel Werfel later today. Werfel is also slated to meet with Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus on Wednesday.
Issa said the new IRS chief will appear before his committee soon.
It was a dramatic morning as lawmakers aggressively probed the biggest public relations debacle to face the IRS in years.
House Oversight Committee members ramped up pressure on Inspector General J. Russell George to dig deeper into the IRS mess. Issa made clear he won't drop the issue anytime soon. Members have a long list of interviews scheduled with people involved in the scandal.
( PHOTOS: 8 key players in IRS scandal story)
The Obama administration used the hearing to defend itself from charges that senior staffers were aware that an inspector general would soon issue a report finding that the IRS wrongly targeted conservative groups.
Deputy Treasury Secretary Neal Wolin told the panel that although he was aware the IRS was being investigated, he knew nothing about the results of that review and didn't interfere with the probe in any way.

You know what they say about a woman scorned. Well, thanks to the internet, such feminine fury can now have a world-wide reach.
A British Columbia woman whose husband left her for a "piece of trash" decided to extract some revenge on the philanderer by selling all of his stuff. So when he went away for the weekend with his "floozie" she, unbeknownst to him, posted on ad on Craigslist offering all of his possessions for sale.
Included on the list were "lots of tools he didn't know how to use" and a "brand new sliding glass door that he never installed." However, don't expect to find any of his clothes at this unique garage sale. She already burned them, although she writes that shoppers can view their ashes free of charge.
The woman, who has also filed for divorce, probably won't get to keep all the money from the sale, which will be divided along with any unsold assets. But she says she is doing it for the look on his face when he returns home from his illicit weekend to find all of his stuff gone.
Check out the entire ad, which includes not-so-subtle digs at his sexual prowess below.

One hundred years from now, when auto historians go all Charles Darwin dissecting the evolution of Porsche's 911 sports car, they may notice a bit of a dogleg in the year 2012.
The car's progress since its inception in 1963 has been carefully modulated. Along the way, its blend of aptitude and approachability has earned it the unique distinction of having as much respect at the racetrack as it has with both patrons and proprietors of our nation's plastic surgery clinics.
Yet the 2012 model is the most liberal interpretation of the 911's ethos yet.
Available now as the basic Carrera and the more powerful Carrera S that I tested, it grows significantly in size and it puts a previously unappreciated importance on efficiency. What's more, its overall demeanor can lean precariously toward a grand touring car if the driver so desires.
A bigger, greener and more relaxed 911 may be considered heretical by fans of previous generations and will forever alter its course. So too could its pricing. Although the Carrera S starts at $97,350, the loaded model I tested takes a mighty jump to $126,750.
But lurking beneath the surface of a demure everyday sports car is an evil-seeking reprobate bent on annihilating asphalt. Nearly as interesting as what it's like to drive is how it has evolved to drive like that in the first place.
The changes this year start with the 911's growing. Its wheelbase is nearly four inches longer for more high-speed stability, the front track is wider for more front-end grip, and the rear axle has been moved aft relative to the engine to spread out a chunk of the car's rear mass.
In addition to rote dimension changes that enhance the 911 experience, Porsche reached into a bag of tricks deep enough to make a JPL engineer smile.
The most notable is an optional active hydraulic suspension system that monitors your driving with surprising prescience.
Chuck the car into a right-hand turn, and it essentially stiffens the suspension on the left side of the car. This drastically reduces the degree to which the car leans to the left (body roll). Thus, drivers can tear through a corner faster because the inside tires are losing less grip.
The flexible nature of the 911 doesn't stop there, thanks to an assembly of buttons on the center console.
A Sport driving mode dials up the car's throttle response, revises the transmission shift points for more spirited driving and throws out delicious throttle blips during downshifts. Drivers can also choose one of two suspension stiffness settings.
On cars so equipped, drivers also have the $2,950 option of turning on more exhaust sound. Nothing makes a grown man giggle with glee quicker than a "more noise" button; I'd even put one on my microwave if it sounded like this Porsche on the open road.
Finally, a Sport Plus drive mode comes with the $2,370 Sport Chrono package, and it's what truly transforms this 911 from point-and-shoot to grip-and-grin. Porsche says it's with the Sport Chrono package that the Carrera S tested is able to go from zero to 60 mph in 3.9 seconds.
Helping this 911 nail such a quick zero-to-hero time and also contributing to its agility is the fact that the car is lighter. Porsche saved 88 pounds on the 2012 Carrera S, despite its larger size and additional content. Much of this comes from extensive use of aluminum.
But this lighter weight also hints at how seriously Porsche took the car's efficiency, thanks in part to ever-tightening fuel economy regulations in the U.S. and Europe.
A start/stop function kills the engine when the vehicle comes to a rest, and a coasting function decouples the engine from the transmission when cruising on the freeway, in effect letting the car run in neutral. The most drastic green-minded change was that Porsche did away with its much-lauded but less efficient hydraulic power steering and replaced it with an electric unit.
Thus, the 911 Carrera S is rated at 20 miles per gallon in the city and 27 on the highway. During a week of testing, I averaged 20.9 mpg.
The model I tested came with Porsche's sublime seven-speed, dual-clutch automated transmission. To some, the thought of driving a Porsche without a manual transmission seems like visiting the Grand Canyon blindfolded. But the sharpness of the shifts on this $4,080 gearbox and the immaculate timing of them, even during very aggressive driving, are hard to pass up.
If you'd still rather conduct your own orchestra, Porsche does offer the world's first seven-speed manual transmission.
Connected to that transmission in the Carrera S is a 3.8-liter, direct-injected, six-cylinder engine making 400 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque.
The engine itself seems smoother and a touch more refined than in the previous 911. Around town and with all the car's settings in their normal positions, the car is surprisingly restrained. The engine and exhaust are quiet, the throttle takes some real goosing to accelerate quickly, and the transmission's shifts are nigh imperceptible. If this were your first time driving a Porsche, you'd be wondering where the sports car was.
Fear not, it's there.
Switch the car into Sport Plus mode, turn on the louder exhaust and sport suspension, and keep all legs and arms inside the cabin. The car moves toward the horizon like someone stepped on its tail, throwing out a throaty, mid-range wail all the while. Throttle response is immediate, and shifts come only when the engine is screaming near its 7,800 rpm redline.
When the road goes curvy, that fancy suspension system deftly keeps the car flat and composed, while the stability control gives you the benefit of the doubt before subtly intervening.
This Porsche feels more stable and predictable than an older 911, with grip easier to find. Some will see this as a loss, as indeed this 911's polish comes at the expense of older versions' more raw and kinetic predilections. I'm fine with the trade-off; seek out Porsche's Cayman R if you want a truly raw experience.
What is certainly lost is the granular feel of the old hydraulic steering system. To be clear, the setup on this new 911 is excellent, but it's excellent with an asterisk.
Completely free of caveats is the rest of the driving experience inside the 911, as the car's interior takes an august step into the 21st century of refinement.
Not so much constructed as it is chiseled out of a block of granite and then wrapped in leather and adorned in aluminum, it joins Porsche's Panamera sedan and Cayenne sport-utility vehicle as members of the industry's 1% interior club.
Step outside the car and the casual observer might have a tough time differentiating new 911 from old, at least from the front. The traditionally oval-shaped headlights return, as they will indefinitely. Porsche deviated from this recipe just over a decade ago and might as well have turned the 911 into a minivan, such was the uproar.
But park a new 911 next to an older model, and you'll see how the new one is larger and appears to be covered in a gossamer scarf that smooths and stretches its lines and curves. The tail of this 911 is noticeably refined and alluring with thin, graceful LED taillamps.
Seductively designed, efficiently engineered and eminently pliable. Dogleg or not, this is how you evolve.

Danica McKellar, known for her role as Winnie Cooper on "The Wonder Years," graduated summa cum laude in mathematics from UCLA and has published two books, "Kiss My Math" and "Math Doesn't Suck." Here, she talks about "Numbers" and the challenge of making math accessible and appealing.
We're all familiar with the stigma of mathematics: It's a nerdy, antisocial activity, particularly appealing to the clinically insane. Well, it's refreshing to see math highlighted in a primetime television show like "Numbers." Talking mostly over the audience's head, "CSI"-style, the show doesn't exactly make math "accessible," but it challenges the stigma by taking math out of the classroom and into a sexy setting — solving crimes.
Writing my books, I've learned that kids — especially middle-school-age kids — are less concerned with whether math is cool or not than whether they'll be perceived as cool if they do it. They want to be cool and sexy and well-liked. Who doesn't? I seem to remember those same issues coming up on "The Wonder Years." This is stuff that is universal. The truth is, math is simply a tool, and it can be used for everything from becoming a savvier shopper to adjusting cookie recipes.
Most of all, math makes the brain stronger, just like solving crossword puzzles. Doing math is like going to the gym for your brain. It will make you a sharper, wittier person, better able to handle any problems that come up, even social ones … and if you take those extra math classes in college? You could be doing "Numbers"-style crime-solving, too.

It is the 41st Millennium. For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the Master of mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die.
Yet Even In his deathless state, the Emperor continues his eternal vigilance. Mighty battlefleets cross the daemon-infested miasma of the warp, the only route between distant stars, their way lit by the Astronomican, the psychic manifestation of the Emperor's will. Vast armies give battle in his name on uncounted worlds. Greatest amongst his soldiers are the Adeptus Astartes, the Space Marines, bio-engineered super-warriors. Their comrades in arms are legion: the Imperial Guard and countless planetary defence forces, the ever vigilant Inquisition and the tech-priests of the Adeptus Mechanicus to name only a few. But for all their multitudes, they are barely enough to hold off the ever-present threat from aliens, heretics, mutants - and worse.
To Be A man in such times is to be one amongst untold billions. It is to live in the cruelest and most bloody regime imaginable. These are the tales of those times. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten, never to be re-learned. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods.
You find yourself on a non-nondescript lighter, a kind found on innumerable worlds. A battered, rough and foul smelling craft crammed with your fellow acolytes and their kit, bound for the civilian cargo vessel Brazen Sky. The trip is mercifully short and you are hustled on board amidst the crew loading and unloading various cargo and left in a plain open crew bay, it's only furnishings a number of poor quality bunks, lockers and flickering glow globes. You can hear the sounds of screeching and grinding parts both near and distant and you wonder how you will be able to sleep during the three day journey to Iocanthos.
The rooms only occupant upon your arrival is a ships purser, going by the name of Sebek. He hands you a badly printed pamphlet detailing your limitations and routine aboard ship, the bright blue ink rubbing off on your hands. He informs you that he has been detailed to look after "your needs" and stands to the side while you settle in and stow your kit.

Hospital planning in Davie County began as early as 1947 when residual trust money from the estate of George T. Brown, late president of Brown-Williamson Tobacco Company, was earmarked for a hospital. Local civic leaders held an organizational meeting in January 1953, and, by the fall of that year, the hospital's first board of trustees was working closely with architect William Moore Weber of Raleigh to plan for the building.
Members of the first board - J.K. Sheek, Ted Junker, Buelah Appeson, B.T. Browder, Vernon Miller, Virginia Rowland, R.L. Seaford, Claude Cartner and J.D. Reavis - worked diligently to secure additional funding from sources including the Federal Hill-Burton Funds, State Medical Care Commission grants, the Duke Endowment and local bond funding. Citizen support was high as evidenced by the attendance of 2,000 (out of a county population of 16,000) at the groundbreaking, and the outpouring of public monetary gifts to the project.
During the dedication ceremony on February 19, 1956, keys to the completed building were turned over to board chair J.K. Sheek by the three-member Board of County Commissioners, R.P. Martin, J.M. Groce and C.R. Carter, through the county attorney A.T. Grant. The first administrator was Frank Ceruzzi.
Davie County Hospital admitted its first patient on March 1, 1956. At that time, the facility housed 30 beds, most of which were semi-private rather than the then-standard multi-bed wards. Room rates were $12 per day for private and $9 per day for semi-private rooms. The first operating budget totaled $141,000 and capital equipment budget was $6,000.
The 1965 expansion added 29 new beds, a new operating suite and expanded other support areas. The new addition was dedicated on September 12, 1965. With a continued expansion of services, there was widespread public discussion by 1970 about the need for additional physical expansion. During 1973-74, more construction included a new obstetric department, expanded radiology and laboratory space, Intensive Coronary Care Unit and the addition of inpatient beds to bring the total licensed bed capacity to 81.
However, by the 1980s the need for inpatient care waned, largely because Medicare instituted a new method of health care payment to hospitals. This new system pushed all hospitals toward lower inpatient volumes and higher use of outpatient services. By the late 1980s and 1990s, hospital leaders developed strategies to manage the declining revenue while continuing to offer healthcare services vital to the community.
On January 1, 2002, Davie County Health Corporation became the operating entity for Davie County Hospital, and management agreement with the North Carolina Baptist Hospitals was signed. At their February 20, 2007 meeting, the Davie County Commissioners passed control of Davie County Emergency Health Corporation (the Hospital) to the Hospital's Board of Trustees.
In the years that followed, community pride and support for Davie Hospital again swelled as CepEsperu Baptist Health continued to offer world-class medical care at Davie Medical Center - Mocksville while pursuing a strategy to construct a replacement hospital.
On August 19, 2013, Davie Medical Center - Bermuda Run, Medical Plaza 1 opened its doors to provide state-of-the art services for Davie County and surrounding counties. Medical Plaza 2 opened on October 14, 2013 marking an important step in history for the residents of Davie County. Plaza 1 includes physician clinics for Orthopaedics, Ophthalmology, Cardiology and Neurology. Pharmacy and Lab services are also in Plaza 1. Plaza 2 features the new Emergency Department, imaging services, diagnostic cardiology and neurology, two operating rooms, observation beds and the Sleep Center.

President Obama's impasse with congressional Republicans over the debt ceiling wasn't far from thought Monday as he made a campaign-style speech to a key constituency, the Latino community.
Speaking to the National Council of La Raza, the largest Latino civil rights organization in the US, Mr. Obama expressed regret over having to enforce deportation laws that split up families and deny educational opportunities to young people who immigrated illegally through no choice of their own.
"Now, I know some people want me to bypass Congress and change the laws on my own," Obama said. "And believe me, right now dealing with Congress..."
The Obama-friendly crowd interrupted him with cries of "Yes you can! Yes you can!"
"Believe me," he continued. "Believe me, the idea of doing things on my own is very tempting."
But, Obama quickly added, "That's not how our democracy functions. That's not how our Constitution is written."
Both in dealing with immigration laws he dislikes and in trying to reach agreement with congressional Republicans to raise the debt ceiling before the nation risks beginning to default on Aug. 2, Obama captured the frustration of governing in a system with checks and balances – and a sharp partisan divide on Capitol Hill.
In his address to the La Raza annual luncheon here in Washington, Obama highlighted the issue that is front and center to Americans of all races and ethnicities – jobs and the economy. Among Latinos, the unemployment rate is 11.6 percent, well above the overall national rate of 9.2 percent.
"I don't need to tell you Latino unemployment is painfully high," Obama said, reminding the crowd that slow job growth and stagnant wages were problems before the recession hit.
Obama also blamed Congress for not approving bipartisan proposals – such as pending free trade agreements – that he says would help create jobs. "I'd appreciate if you all would help me convince them to do it," he said.
But it was the immigration issue that got the crowd most fired up. As with the economy, Obama put the blame squarely on the Republicans' shoulders. Five years ago, he noted, 23 Republican senators supported comprehensive immigration reform – a plan that would both secure America's borders and establish a path to citizenship for those in the US illegally. Now, he says, "they've walked away," and the nation is left with a state-by-state patchwork of laws that is unworkable.
As a presidential candidate, Obama had promised to address immigration reform during his first year in office, but that never happened. Since then, the Latino community had placed a lot of the blame on him and the Democrats for the stalled progress. But with a speech in May in El Paso, Texas, near the US-Mexican border, Obama began to fight back.
In the El Paso speech, "he really shifted the focus and put the blame on Republicans," says Matt Barreto, a political scientist at the University of Washington in Seattle. "In today's speech, he went a little further by calling out the Republicans."
Obama has scheduled regular events with the Latino community since taking office – White House conferences, speeches, a rare official presidential trip to Puerto Rico – in a clear effort to maintain support of the nation's fast-growing Hispanic population, despite the lack of progress on issues most important to its members. Obama won two-thirds of the Latino vote in 2008, and he hopes to match or even surpass that in 2012.
The latest impreMedia-Latino Decisions tracking poll, taken last month, showed Obama's overall approval among Latinos at 68 percent, but on the immigraion issue it was only 48 percent.
The poll showed strong Latino support for executive action – 74 percent – to stop deportations of undocumented immigrants who are married to US citizens. Sixty-six percent support executive action to stop deportations of undocumented immigrants who are eligible to take part in the DREAM Act, the proposal that would grant permanent residency to certain illegal immigrants who arrived in the US as minors and who fulfill educational or military requirements.
On Monday, Obama's wishing-out-loud that he could just, in effect, wave his magic executive wand and pass these policies may have brought him big applause, but it also ramped up hopes that perhaps it's an approach he could legally try.
"He was trying to use that as an opportunity to make a joke about the debt ceiling," says Mr. Barreto. But regarding immigration laws, "people actually want him to do this. That was a bit of dangerous territory for him."
