FRISCO -- If you ve been looking to involve yourself in a good cause, we ve come across one that involves new technology, American jobs, and helping veterans.
It sounds like a no-brainer, until you see the fine print.
A few years ago, inventor Dean Kamen, creator of the Segway transporter and countless other devices, came up with a unique wheeled chair called an iBOT.
It s not your typical wheelchair; this one rolls on four wheels, or balances on two, and goes over curbs and up stairs.
For Eddie Beesley, who lost his legs above the knee in Vietnam, it was a life-changer. News 8 caught up to him talking to other Marines in Frisco, singing its praises.
With the iBOT, I can go to the balance mode, and I can be just as tall as the rest of the crowd, he told us.
Balance mode, as he calls it, raises the iBOT up from four wheels to two, side-by-side, and returns Eddie to his original six-feet-tall height.
It uses six gyroscopes to keep its balance, compensating for even the slightest unconscious movement on Eddie's part.
For a combat veteran like Eddie, that s a key feature.
We (combat veterans) have problems with crowds, he said. In a standard wheelchair, I'm sitting low, and if I'm in a large crowd, people are all around me standing up. I'm not able to see and [...] that causes a lot of anxiety.
It s not just veterans who like the iBOT.
A car accident put civilian Jim Leonard in an iBOT, but the device has never slowed him down.
The other chairs that I dealt with just limit you so much, he said. It doesn't make you feel like you are a part of the world again.
The America's Huey 091 Foundation has worked for years to maximize the mobility of disabled veterans. They had a goal: help provide an iBOT for every veteran returning from Iraq and Afghanistan or any past conflict, who needed it.
The greatest value is equality, co-Founder Gary Lawson told us. The greatest value is not being stuck looking at someone's belt buckle -- not looking up constantly to someone.
However, they ve run into some problems. The manufacturing line for iBOTs has been shut down.
There are multiple reasons: Put simply, too much government red tape in getting the device approved for use, a lot of doctors preferred the traditional wheelchair for their patients - believing they would provide more exercise - and the $25,000-plus cost.
To make matters worse, Lawson said, Most of the less 100 iBOTs made have a built-in clock that will shut down their balance and stair climbing mode at the end of this year.
That means, come this time next year, Eddie Beesley will, for all intents and purposes, lose his legs a second time.
He loves to dance with his wife, and walk down the street hand-in-hand at the same level, but all that will soon be gone.
The chair will roll backward and forward like any other wheelchair, just not to do things that make the iBOT special.
So now, they re racing the clock. With creator Dean Kamen s blessing, the foundation is pushing a new plan.
We think that with the help of American citizens, we can start up a manufacturing program and a support program built around veterans, Lawson said.
That's jobs for veterans, building and servicing iBOTs. It s an interesting plan, but to succeed, Gary Lawson explained two things are needed: a manufacturer, and a little public coaxing to, get out of the way.
Let this happen make this happen, Lawson said. The Veterans Administration has lots and lots of young men and women who need this technology. They could place an order, and by placing an order for a thousand iBOTs, we could start manufacturing them in six months.
It's ambitious, but to Lawson, it makes more sense than shelving technology that could help so many. He believes he needs to make it work are a good men and women.

CHEYENNE, Okla. — An oil company drilling in western Oklahoma has stumbled across a deposit of camel and horse fossils that date back roughly five million to 12 million years.
The fossils, which belong to an extinct species of camel and horse, were found in July in the Packsaddle Wildlife Management Area, The Oklahoman reported Monday.
One of the fossils discovered is a well-preserved horse skull that is tinier than its present-day descendant.
A machine operator for Apache Corp., the Houston-based oil company drilling in Packsaddle, discovered the fossils after clearing away roughly 20 feet of earth. A team of paleontologists and archaeologists has uncovered 13 separate pits containing deposits of bones of varying sizes.
Scientists say the remains are typical prey animals of the Late Miocene period and are species that roamed what is now western Oklahoma in large numbers.
Nicholas Czaplewski, curator of vertebrate paleontology for Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, said it could take years to sort through all of the fossils from the site.
At this point, it's not clear what exactly scientists will gain from studying the fossils, but Czaplewski said the remains eventually will be compared with "known species" that have been found in the region.
"We also hope to learn more about the anatomy of the animals if their remains are complete enough," he said. "For example, if we find teeth or skulls associated with other parts of the skeleton like leg and foot bones, then we can build a more complete knowledge of the animals than when we only find isolated fragments, as is more usual."

Vogelsong looks to keep momentum going vs. Reds
Leake gets call in series opener coming off solid outing vs. Blue Jays
After Tuesday's 7-2 loss to the Padres, Giants manager Bruce Bochy tabbed his starting pitching as the biggest culprit in his team's recent slide, in which they had lost 11 of their previous 14 games. He said the starters would have to get the team back on track after the rotation was a key component to a 42-21 start to the season.
Following a meeting involving Bochy, pitching coach Dave Righetti and the entire starting rotation, right-hander Tim Lincecum didn't waste much time reversing the staff's fortunes at least for an afternoon, throwing his second no-hitter in less than a year against San Diego on Wednesday.
"Our pitching staff as a whole has been scuffling," Lincecum said after becoming the second pitcher in Major League history to no-hit the same opponent twice. "I'm not saying I needed to do that, but to be a part of something like that was fun."
Ryan Vogelsong will take the mound for San Francisco on Thursday, hoping to build off Lincecum's success.
A strong stretch from late April through late May seems like years ago for Vogelsong, who has been tagged for 19 earned runs in 28 2/3 innings over his last five starts. His recent troubles have mirrored those of the entire starting rotation, which prior to Lincecum's no-hitter had the second-highest ERA (5.05) of any staff in June. Entering Wednesday, Giants starters had been roughed up for 72 earned runs in 128 1/3 innings.
And while Vogelsong has also struggled throughout his career against Cincinnati -- going 3-3 with a 4.84 ERA in 16 appearances (nine starts) -- AT&T Park has been kind to him. He's posted a 3.33 ERA in eight starts at home this season.
Vogelsong will be opposed by right-hander Mike Leake for the Reds. Leake is coming off one of his best starts of the season, when he allowed one run on four hits in eight innings against the Blue Jays last Saturday.
"He had his good command back," catcher Devin Mesoraco said of Leake after that outing. "He was able to get ahead, make a lot of quality pitches early in the count and let the hitters' aggressiveness kind of work to his favor and get some early outs."
Leake is 4-1 with a 4.38 ERA in seven career appearances (six starts) against the Giants, including his June 5 start against San Francisco, in which he surrendered five runs on eight hits over five innings.
Despite his troubles with the Giants, however, Leake looks to keep the Reds rolling. While San Francisco has tumbled in recent weeks, Cincinnati has been rising, having won 10 of its last 14 games after taking two of three from the Cubs in Chicago.
Reds: Phillips not guaranteed cleanup spot upon return
Brandon Phillips missed his third consecutive game on Wednesday with a bruised right heel. The second baseman went through a typical pregame routine each of the last two days and was originally in the lineup on Wednesday, only to be scratched more than two hours before the contest.
Mesoraco has hit in the cleanup spot in Phillips' absence, and he's been on a tear at the plate recently. He currently has an eight-game hitting streak and is batting .333 (12-for-36) with five home runs and 13 RBIs over that span. Mesoraco, who has gone 4-for-13 with two home runs and six RBIs while Phillips has been sidelined, had homered in five straight games -- tying a Reds record -- before seeing the streak end Wednesday.
Reds manager Bryan Price may just ride Mesoraco while he's hot and keep him in the cleanup spot even when Phillips returns.
"I don't want to be the guy that's constantly shuffling the lineup when things are going well for us offensively," Price said. "But with Brandon out, Devin's kind of seized that opportunity and performed in the four-hole. And at least until we get Brandon all the way healthy, then he could be there for that."
Giants: Panik adjusting to Majors
Shawon Dunston knows a thing or two about how to succeed in the Major Leagues. So when Dunston sat down to chat with Joe Panik at the 23-year-old's locker on Tuesday night -- after Panik committed two errors in the Giants' loss -- the infielder listened.
"He was telling me those are things that happen to everybody and basically just learn from them and move forward," Panik said Wednesday of his impromptu lesson from Dunston. "Shawon was a very successful Major Leaguer. Any advice I can get from him is great."
A little less than a week into his big league career, Panik has had no shortage of outlets for advice -- postgame discussions with Dunston, pointers from Michael Morse, whose locker is next to Panik's, and countless encounters with other teammates have all helped Panik quickly assimilate to his new surroundings.
"Guys have welcomed me with open arms and made the transition pretty easy," Panik said. "The guys understand what's going on. They've had success this season, so I'm going into a winning clubhouse.
"This is what you always dreamed about doing as a young kid -- to be able to live it has been pretty fun."
Playing before a packed AT&T Park has been an adjustment for Panik, who had grown accustomed to less-than-capacity crowds in the Minors. His first five games have yielded mixed results -- he is 2-for-13 at the plate with two walks and one RBI, and he has committed the two errors in the field.
Worth noting
• Lincecum's no-hitter on Wednesday was the second of his career. The only other Giants pitcher to throw two no-hitters was Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson, who did so in 1901 and '05.
• A handful of Giants have tormented Leake -- Tyler Colvin is 7-for-19 with four home runs and eight RBIs, Hunter Pence is 10-for-25 with a homer and three RBIs and Pablo Sandoval is 11-for-17 with a pair of homers and three RBIs against the right-hander.
• Billy Hamilton is 3-for-3 against Vogelsong, with all of those at-bats coming when he faced him on June 4. Todd Frazier is 3-for-7 (.429) with two home runs and three RBIs against the right-hander. Jay Bruce is 5-for-15 (.333) with a double, a home run and four RBIs. Ryan Ludwick is 4-for-7 (.571) with two RBIs. Skip Schumaker is 3-for-8 (.375).
• The Giants placed center fielder Angel Pagan on the 15-day disabled list on Wednesday and recalled infielder Adam Duvall from Triple-A Fresno. The 25-year-old Duvall was leading the Pacific Coast League with 23 home runs. He was also hitting .297 in 67 games for Fresno, ranking second in the PCL in RBIs (67) and slugging percentage (.620).
"I don't care where you are. That's a lot of home runs," Bochy said. "He has 'easy' power."

The gang is traveling to Slateport City via a cruise ship. May reminds the others if it weren't for her, they wouldn't even be here, as she is a participant of the Grand Festival. Her friends tell her they are proud, as she won all 5 ribbons. Afterwards, they come to Nurse Joy. They greet hjer (and Brock flirts with her and is pulled by Max). May wants her Pokemon to be watched over, so Joy asks if they want to train or to relax - they have also the playroom. May chooses to first trest, then to play. She sends all her Pokemon and waves goodbye to see other parts of the ship.
As they walk, they spot Officer Jenny with an Growlithe. Brock also flirts with her and is pulled by Max. May asks if there is trouble, but Jenny has seen no crimes yet, but has heard of Broadie, a member of Team Magma, is on the ship. The gang knows this Broadie - he stole data from the Weather research station about Kyogre and Groudon. They do wonder if he still is in here. Team Rocket, dressed as cleaners, spot the gang. Jenny tells them Team Aqua and Magma exist no longer, as they couldn't control Kyogre and Groudon. Still, Broadie became a thief instead. Jenny has tracked him here and he is somewhere on the ship. Jenny tells them if they see something strange, they need to report to her.
Team Rocket is very thrilled as they heard the part about Team Aqua and Magma. Jessie and Meowth tell James it is because of them they are destroyed, tough James recalls they were blasted off as usual. Jessie tells him not to go in details, so James thinks they need to tell it to their boss about this event, thinking they'll be promoted. May and her friends visit an exhibiton - containing a Golden cup of the Grand Festival, the Ribbon Cup. May imagines herself holding the Ribbon Cup, though she spots her Munchlax coming. It goes to eat some food and bumps into the pedestal where the Ribbon Cup is. Max gives Munchlax the pink suprise, so Munchlax feels full already. However, the Ribbon Cup is ruined. Raoul Contesta checks the Cup and accepts the apology from May, but... he realizes the Cup is fake!
The Cup needs to have a stamp inside to be true, and a card is dropped - Jenny identifies Broadie, the thief she was looking for, stole the Cup. Team Rocket spot them in the vents, as their plans to steal the Cup failed. However, they plan to steal it from Broadie instead. Raoul begins to think they need to cancel the Grand Festival without the Cup, but May tells him she and the other Coordinators worked hard to get the ribbons for the Festival. Raoul tells her he won't cancel, but they need to make another one, but time is short. Jenny promises to get the Cup, as Broadie is still on the ship. The gang promises to help get the Cup back. So, they ask the guards - they always had lunch breaks. Once, one of the guards forgot something and got inside to get. The guard tells the other he was at the cafeteria, so Jenny knows it was Broadie, but disguised.
Max tells them Broadie might've already changed, so Brock realizes Broadie changes often his disguise. However, it can be anyone, so Jenny has an idea. So, she paints a Poke Ball in golden, to lure Broadie. At a lunch break, Ash tells Pikachu (loudly) to check the Golden Poke Ball, as it is worth a lot of money. Brock gets a drink and says he needs to see the Golden Poke Ball. May and Max walk past the billard tables, saying the facts about the Golden Poke Ball. Everyone gathers to the room with the Golden Poke Ball. They hide as they heard some people. They are Team Rocket, who go to steal the Golden Poke Ball. They undisguise themselves, aas they are seen on the spot. However, Pikachu blasts them off into water with a Thunderbolt. May tells Jenny who Team Rocket are.
The captain comes, telling Jenny and the gang Broadie is stealing Pokemon from the Center. So, they go away and the captain stays. The gang comes down and see the captain again. Max tells him he told that Broadie is stealing the Pokemon, but the captain replies that he came from the Center and everything is in order. That leades to belief that the captain upstairs is Broadie. Before he grabs the Ball, Broadie is caught on spot and undisguises himself. Jenny tells him he is captured, but Broadie sends Golbat. Golbat uses Haze and when the smoke clears, Broadie is gone. However, Jenny was smart so she hid a transmitter inside the Ball, so they can track him. They come to a lady and Jenny accuses her to be Broadie, so he runs away. He changed his clothes, but the signal is still applied.
They find themselves in the kitchen with a lot of cooks. One cook comes to the chef to have him taste his food. The chef compliments his food and goes away. However, the same chef goes out of a room - Broadie was the first chef. They go after the signal, but see the Golden Poke Ball - Broadie must've found the transmitter and put it, fooling them. Still, Max thinks he went up to the deck - at the Weather institute, he came on the top of the building and activated his jet pack to run away, so he might have gone to the deck to escape the same way. They see nobody, but they do spot two Jenny-s. The Jenny-s begin to argue who is real and who is fake. However, Brock tells the one on the left is fake. Brock explaines when she speaks to the one on the left, he sees an enemy, while speaking on the one on the right he sees a woman whom he is in crush.
Jenny goes to get Broadie, who undisguises himself, showing the Ribbon Cup. Broadie decides to give the Cup, saying it is not valuable, but Team Rocket take it instead. Broadie thinks it becomes boring and goes away using the jet pack. Jenny sends Growlithe and Jessie her Seviper. Growlithe starts with Flamethrower, but Seviper evades and uses Poison Tail on it. Pikachu attacks Seviper with Thunderbolt, so James sends Cacnea. Seviper goes to use Posion Tail and Cacnea Needle Arm, though Growlithe counters with Flamethrower and Pikachu with Thunderbolt. Team Rocket is blasted of by Pikachu's Thunder. The Cup is retrived and put behind the safety glass. Raoul is pleased and wants May to compete, to which she accepts. At the end of the day, they see Slateport City. May is confident to enter and win, being prepared for what is to come.
- This is the first episode which Jamie Davyous Owens takes over the role of Officer Jenny, who had been previously voiced by Lee Quick.
- When Officer Jenny sprays the Poké Ball with golden color, she says she presents the world's first golden Poké Ball. This is not completely true. Another fake golden Poké Ball was sold to James by the Magikarp salesman in Battle Aboard the St. Anne. Also, the GS Ball is half golden.

Considering gettin one of these old guns just for craps and giggles, anybody have experience with them?
The one I'm looking at is just a field model, 12 gauge and looks to be in good shape for a 90 year old gun.

Sounds fantastic - you'll just need to pay up for some soft non-tox (Kent TM, RST Nice-Shot or ITX) or maybe open up the chokes to IM or light modified and just take your chances with steel. $2-3/pop for the first route, and a definite possibility of a ring bulge or sprung rib with the latter. If it's just a fun gun you're taking out some of the time, a few boxes of the expensive stuff will be a drop in the bucket compared to all the other gear and gas involved in a hunting season and as long as it more or less fits you, that'll be one sweet feeling gun! Go for it.

Thanks for the response! I would likely only shoot lead through it at clays or areas of upland bird where lead is still allowed. I have an ol' Remington M1900 that I love and is a family heirloom, so I wanted something similar that I could shoot more often without worrying about destroying a piece of family history. The Lefever seems like it would fit the bill, have you ever owned one or at least shot one? If so, what was your impression?

Feather River College falls to Siskiyous
FRC's Austin Peterson makes a run for it during the Eagles game against the College of the Siskiyous Nov 3. |
Feather River College's football team lost to the College of the Siskiyous 43-27 Saturday, Nov. 3. Sisyiyous dominated FRC through the third quarter. FRC started to make a comeback in the fourth quarter, but didn't have enough time.
The win locked up the Mid-Empire Conference for the College of the Siskiyous.
Siskiyous scored a touchdown on its first drive of the game. FRC returned the ball to Siskiyous which made another touchdown drive.
The ball constantly changed hands during the second quarter. The only points scored were from a Sisyiyous field goal. Siskiyous was up 16-0 at the half.
Siskiyous owned the third quarter. The visiting college scored three touchdowns. FRC scored its first touchdown during the quarter as well. FRC's wide-receiver Ryne Wall caught and ran for the touchdown and Trevor Gipson kicked the extra point.
Siskiyous scored its final touchdown 30 seconds into the fourth quarter. The extra point was no good which left it at 43 points for the game.
FRC retaliated with three touchdowns in the fourth quarter. The points weren't enough, however, and FRC lost its second conference game.
FRC hosts Diablo Valley Friday, Nov. 10 at 3 p.m. This will be the last game in FRC's regular schedule.
Quincy 44, Esparto 14
The Trojans traveled to Esparto Nov. 2 to win, not only a game, but a ticket to the playoffs.
Despite muddy conditions, Quincy ran over its competition to bring its league record to 3-2. Overall, Quincy has a losing record at 4-6, though it faired far better than league teams Williams and Esparto.
Quincy scored seven touchdowns during the game. At the half, the Trojans were ahead 26-0. Etna made two touchdowns in the second half, while the Trojans scored three more.
Quincy's win coincided with Burney's loss to Fall River. This bumped Quincy up and Burney down in the Northern Section Division five standings.
The win against Esparto put Quincy above Etna and Los Molinos. As a note, Los Molinos forfeited its season due to a lack of players. Quincy is now in the playoffs.
Quincy plays Fall River on Friday, Nov. 9 at 7 p.m. The two teams played earlier in the season in which Fall River beat Quincy 38-30 in a close game.
Dunsmuir 68, Greenville 6
In a devastating game for Greenville, the Indians lost to the Dunsmuir Tigers on Friday, Nov. 2. The Indians hoped to advance more in the playoffs, but were cut short in game one.
Dunsmuir started strong and scored three touchdowns in the first quarter. The Tigers continued their streak and put 38 more points on the board the following quarter.
Dunsmuir is currently seeded number two in the league below Redding Christian. Though it won more games overall than Redding Christian, that is the one team Dunsmuir lost to, which drops it down in the rankings.
"That's a championship caliber team," said Greenville's coach Justin Allan. "I think they will take the division this year."
Greenville scored its only touchdown of the game on a kick return by James Martinez. Martinez ran 83 yards for the touchdown. Martinez returned eight kickoffs for a total of 209 yards.
Jacob Henry performed admirably as well. Henry rushed for 47 yards and caught four passes for 81 yards.
"He ran well, played well and never gave up," said Allan about Henry. "Even at the end he never gave up. It could've been a tie game as far as he was concerned.
Cooper Kingdon performed well as Greenville's quarterback this season. Kingdon completed more than half of his passes.
Sam Johnson led the defense with 35 solo tackles and 76 assists. Daniel Mobly similarly fought hard this season, making 28 solo tackles and 119 assists.
"We fought hard not just this last game but the whole season," said Allan. "Our boys played tough."

Oh noes!!!
Phoronix: X.Org 7.5 / X Server 1.7: No Branching, No Beta
Last week we reported it looked like X.Org 7.5 would be released late, and sadly, we are now behind on two important milestones in the road to releasing X.Org 7.5 / X Server 1.7. X.Org 7.5 has already been challenged by a few delays and was supposed to be released in April, but it took a month until the release manager even released the release didn't happen...
Oh noes!!!
I don't remember where I saw it, but there was a post a week or so ago saying that so far they had not seen a need to branch, so the lack of branching may not indicate a delay in the release plans.
Normally branches happen when you are trying to stabilize one set of code for a release at the same time a new slug of changes needs to go into master, and AFAICS all the 1.7 work is able to be done in master for now.
As long as it is released for Ubuntu 9.10 and the likes...
I seriously don't understand how companys like Novell etc. don't have more people working on this really, really important piece of software. Guys like MostAwesomeDude should be hired ASAP in my opinion.
I can't believe it either!
This is the most important piece of software after the kernel and should be under a serious management, just like the Linux kernel.
Otherwise, *nix will always be too far behind, as long as the User-end Desktop is concerned.
... I think Michel missed it since it wasn't one of the first post in that topic...
This is probably going to be a repeat of 7.4
The most important part of graphics system should be located in DRI part in my opinion, and indeed it is experiencing dramatic evolution in these 2 years. In terms of X.org, actually I didn't see anything needs an overhaul(it is too old and too big, unless a re-design was carried out, or it wouldn't have much improvement).
However, if it could arouse widely attention and interests of those IT gaints such as Intel, IBM, it would have a much brighter future. Just as KMS+DRI does.

Cubs return home on high note to face Rox
Wood, Nicasio to square off in opener of three-game set
The Rockies experienced firsthand this weekend in St. Louis that good pitching beats good hitting.
Now they'll go from facing the National League's best starting-pitching staff to its third best.
The Rockies, losers in two of three in St. Louis, continue their six-game road trip Monday at Wrigley Field against the Cubs. Chicago is fresh off taking two of three from the Nationals in Washington.
"Hopefully the Cardinals have cooled their offense down," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "They were the best offense in the league. ... It's just a really good offense all the way up and down the lineup, with power and really good hitters. We'll have to take advantage of being at home, and hopefully they go into slumps like they have the last couple days."
The Rockies, who managed only eight runs in St. Louis -- all coming in Sunday's finale -- while batting .147, will face Cubs left-hander Travis Wood in Monday's opener.
Wood has opened the season with seven consecutive quality starts, the first Cubs lefty to do so since Johnny Schmitz in 1948. Wood is coming off an outing against the Cardinals in which he struck out a season-high eight in 6 2/3 innings.
Wood, who has a 2.77 ERA in three career outings (two starts) against the Rockies, will be backed by a Cubs offense that has thrived at Wrigley Field. The Cubs are hitting .273 in 18 home games, compared to a .218 mark in 19 games on the road.
Rockies: Nicasio shooting for six
Right-hander Juan Nicasio makes his eighth start of the season Monday, and the 26-year-old will be looking to make it deep into the game. He's tossed six innings only once this season and just 14 times in 30 career starts.
Six innings appears to be the magic number for Nicasio -- he is 7-1 with a 2.23 ERA when going at least six frames.
• Outfielder Charlie Blackmon was recalled from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Sunday to take the roster spot of Michael Cuddyer, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list with an inflamed cervical disc. Blackmon went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer.
Cubs: Valbuena appears to be OK after finger injury
Third baseman Luis Valbuena, who sprained a finger on his right hand on Saturday, will get checked by a doctor on Monday. Valbuena, who was available to pinch-hit Sunday, is hitting .272 with five homers and 13 RBIs.
• Cubs outfielder David DeJesus is three RBIs shy of 500 for his career.
Worth noting
• Nicasio is 3-0 with a 2.04 ERA in six starts against NL Central teams.
• Rockies outfielder Carlos Gonzalez is hitless in seven career at-bats against Wood.

US wants to know how Algerian attack unfolded
Sunday - 1/20/2013, 10:48am EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - The White House says it will work with the Algerian government to understand how events unfolded in the terrorist attack on a natural gas complex in the Sahara desert.
Islamist militants took dozens of foreign workers hostage in a siege that ended Saturday when Algerian forces stormed the facility. The Algerian government says all 32 militants were killed, and that the number of hostages killed stands at 23. One American is known dead.
An adviser to President Barack Obama says the attack is a reminder of the threat from terrorists who "will use civilians to try and advance their twisted and sick agenda."
Obama aide David Plouffe (pluhf) says U.S. officials will be in touch with the Algerian government to get a "full understanding" of what happened.
Plouffe spoke on CBS' "Face the Nation" and "Fox News Sunday."
