Outreach & Workforce Development
The Biodesign Institute is a beacon for high school, undergraduate, graduate and postdoctoral education and bioscience training, providing workforce development in high-paying jobs for the state. Despite economic uncertainty, Biodesign provided a training pipeline for postdocs and graduate students to enter the workforce in FY12. The Institute also provides undergraduate research opportunities and public outreach.
- ASU Night of the Open Door. Science came to life for more than 1,000 visitors when the Biodesign Institute engaged in ASU's inaugural Night of the Open Door event in March. The community outreach event was part of the month-long Arizona SciTech Festival.
ASU's research enterprise, students and the community have greatly benefited from TRIF support. The funds have been instrumental in not only funding research activities but also serving as motivation for ASU to think strategically about the direction of the research enterprise and where ASU is best suited to create, influence and respond to opportunities that impact the lives of individuals locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.

No morality in opposing abortion
- Published: 23 Jan 2013 at 00.00
- Newspaper section: News
Let me be direct. When you say you are against abortion because it's sinful, it's not your morality talking, it's your misogyny.
In other words, you're not driven by compassion, but by a hate for women who you think stray from the "good girl" norms.
Sorry for being blunt. But when nearly 1,000 women in Thailand die each year because your opposition has been preventing them from having access to safe abortions, it's necessary to ask why you're allowing your righteousness to take other people's lives.

Steve Carell and Keira Knightley star in this apocalyptic comedy following two neighbors who set out for one last road trip after learning that a massive asteroid will wipe out all life on Earth in just three weeks. Dodge (Carell) and Penny (Knightly) are both having a very bad day. Shell-shocked after hearing that the last hope of destroying the massive asteroid on a collision course with Earth has failed, Dodge watches helplessly as his wife bounds out of their car and vanishes into the night. Later, as the now-reluctant loner ponders what to do with his remaining time on the doomed planet, sobbing waif Penny appears at his window lamenting her breakup with self-centered boyfriend Owen. When the sun rises the following morning, the two neighbors who had barely exchanged passing glances in the hallway have forged a tenuous yet very real connection. Tensions rise, however, when Dodge learns that Penny inadvertently received an inviting love letter from the ex he's always loved, and that she failed to give it to him before all of mankind was doomed to a catastrophic fate. When Dodge announces a plan to reconnect with his ex while he still has the time, guilt-ridden Penny vows to help him accomplish his goal at all costs. But the more time this mismatched pair spend on the road together, the more their journey takes on a new meaning -- one that neither could have ever seen coming, but which both sense was the way things were meant to be. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Right now.
All right well an emerging class and a GDP growth rate more than double in the United States in India.
With one of the largest populations in the world.
Some valuable investment opportunities in real estate development down there.
Joining us now and -- robbed by god but emea I Rio excuse me chairman and co-founder.
He's more with more on the real estate market in India I'm so glad you're here -- because India I think you know.
A lot of people -- -- really sure what's happening is it still emerging is it's still considered an emerging market.
Sure opposed to Paula Casey thank you for having -- real.
I think as you said GDP growth in India has been averaging.
Over 6% over the last several he does.
That is an emerging middle class that is.
That has growing incomes and the with the employment rates.
Sold with growing globalization.
And the wit the recent government reforms on to attract foreign direct investment.
We see real estate as a great place to be.
OK so you you run you have got about two billion dollars in your fund Jeff private and equity investing in housing in.
India that first of all the middle class though it's shocking isn't a little bit there we are seeing a big difference -- -- haves and the have nots in India.
I think that the the middle class is growing.
So in fact compared to China in addition you have growing globalization which is -- to 30% today and and likely to go up to.
Where China is at 50%.
The as we've seen employment.
In the so this -- sector -- You've actually seen incomes expects.
And you don't have that.
Leadership changes that you do in China right now so what are you building are you building apartments condos are you renting them or people buying them.
These as mortgages have have gained and incomes of penetration we've been bending master planned communities large.
Residential complexes that are.
Basically we have dual -- We've -- of the global architects.
-- it's it's been.
Exactly residential.
OK so it's residential homes out I know the fund is private you don't disclose hum -- and you well you have done but can people invest in this fund can I get in if I'm interested.

Oh yeah, I'm sure they'd sell loads in the Burberry pattern.

My TV Appearance with Tony Campolo and Shane Claiborne
Photo credit: TBN
Hi everyone, just making a quick pit stop to share the video of my appearance on Red Letter Christianity with Tony Campolo and Shane Claiborne. We talked for the entire half hour show about the role of the church in the broader culture, touching on issues ranging from gay marriage to greed and sacrificial love.
Tony and Shane had some great insight to share. I hope you'll check it out here.
On Life, Creativity, Blogging, and Where I'll Be for the Next Few Months
On a freezing cold location scouting trip for 'From the Sky.'
I knew back in November that a fundraising campaign was going to be an unavoidable part of attempting to get my film debut 'From the Sky' made, and the time to launch it was just around the corner. Gross. It was a direct threat to my routine: self-reliance and creative control (when it comes to my own blogging), an aversion towards asking for help, and a fear of failure, especially in the public sphere. I swore that successful online fundraising campaigns were reserved for savvy networking and tech folk, mindful all the while of the fact that marketing my writing over the past five years had not been a personal strength either.
My Film 'From the Sky': Why I'm Asking for Your Support
The setting for the film: a remote area in Eastern Washington, standing in for the Middle East.
I am not good at asking for help and I often hide my enthusiasm which is also not good. But it's time to continue pushing beyond my comfort zone. This film project 'From the Sky' is a labor of love for me. The screenplay is my sixth; a story of a poverty-stricken father and son struggling to survive in an area frequently targeted by drone strikes. The film will be among the first (if not the first) narrative works of cinema from the U.S. to show the impact of drones on civilians in the Arab world. The film also explores the roots of extremism and ultimately asks the universal question: when we are harmed, will we take the wide road of retaliation or a more narrow path by responding in life-giving ways? I intend and hope to direct the project in late April if we are able to raise sufficient funds.
My wife Lauren and I have been convicted about these issues to the point that we feel we need to step out in faith. We are bringing in $10,000 of our own in addition to a (hopefully) fully-funded Kickstarter campaign, combining to cover production and post-production costs. I don't want to ask something of you if I'm not willing to ask something of myself first.
Today marks the launch of a 30-day Kickstarter fundraising campaign; a crucial part of the fundraising effort. Here are three ways you can support this project:
1. Offer a financial pledge. Donations can be as low as $1, and rewards for donations start at $25. You won't be charged for your pledge unless the campaign is successful; it is an all-or-nothing endeavor. This is why we need you! Many small donations are the difference between success and failure (but I won't stop you from giving lots).
2. Giving early makes your pledge go farther- helping to drive the campaign up on the Kickstarter site, and encouraging those who visit the page to give of themselves (because an active project is more enticing than one which appears to be lagging behind).
3. Share the Kickstarter page link with your community, your social media network, and human rights advocates. It matters! Momentum helps our chance of success.
The Kickstarter page will further reveal why this is a project I am so passionate about, as well as answer likely questions. Will you stand with us by making a donation today?

thank you!
The Sex Industry, the Abolitionist Movement, and Things That Need To Change PART 2: Rocking the Boat

The following is a post written by guest contributor Meg Munoz:
I hope that Part 1 spurred some reflection and conversation. There's no such thing as a "one-size-fits-all" response program, and not everyone's philosophies are going to gel, but I want to dig a bit deeper into how the Church's anti-trafficking movement can improve its after-care efforts for sex workers and trafficking survivors.
My Video Discussing 'The Role of the Church in the Broader Culture'
Photo credit: 2007 Marc Nozell/flickr.
Last November, I was invited (and excited) to join Tony Campolo and Shane Claiborne on their TV show in Nashville to discuss the topic of 'The Role of the Church in the Broader Culture.' The idea for the topic stemmed from my popular (and first) post on Campolo's Red Letter Christians site titled 'It is Time For the American Christian Church to Surrender the Gay Marriage Fight, Apologize, and Share Love.'
The producers asked me to record a brief introduction to the topic which you can watch by clicking through. As for the half hour conversation between Campolo, Claiborne, and yours truly, it will air in late January on TBN and its affiliates across the country.
The Sex Industry, the Abolitionist Movement, and Things That Need To Change PART 1: It's Not Them, It's Us

The following is a post written by guest contributor Meg Munoz:
I can guarantee you that I didn't grow up thinking that I was going to sell my body for a living. Truth be told, I have yet to meet one person who does. And even though there are threads of similarity running through the stories of women caught up in the sex industry, every one is unique. The same is true of my own story.
Video Introducing my Short Film 'From the Sky'
Photo credit: Ian Ebright
In addition to writing for this blog, RELEVANT Magazine and Red Letter Christians, I've been working on two different film projects throughout 2012. Those of you who are friends of mine on Facebook may have caught the status updates about one particular project that I've been busy with since July of last year: writing and rewriting the script, adding to the research I've been doing over the past decade, consulting with knowledgeable people about the Arab world, networking, and building the cast and crew.
'From the Sky' is my sixth screenplay, but it's the first time I've crafted a story that isn't feature-length. I hope to direct this short film in Spring 2013 and am excited to announce that Egyptian-born actor and filmmaker Sayed Badreya just recently joined the cast.
In December, my good friend Patrick Murphy and I went on a location scouting excursion starting in the Yakima River Canyon and ending in areas near Vantage and George, Washington; two very small towns separated by the Columbia River.

Change, One Step at a Time: On the Newtown Tragedy, Guns, and Letting Go of Our Excesses
A vigil for the Newtown school tragedy. Photo credit: 2012 Penn State/flickr.
My deep conviction has always been that the moment of tragedy is no time for advocacy or politics from either side; that as a nation we move too quickly to get past these horrific events and would benefit from marinating in our shared humanity, pausing in communal grief, and just feeling. But my mind and heart have been changed by the horror in Newtown, Connecticut. Unlike other national tragedies which I certainly feel to an extent, this one cut into me as a parent, a Christian, and an American. From my cubicle at work, I began to tremble and cry when I saw the news, and have since been moved by the firm challenge of many including our President who remind us that these tragedies are so frequent now that there remains no good time to discuss solutions. If we can't focus our outrage at this moment, when will change ever come?

If we are to love our neighbors, before doing anything else we must see our neighbors." -Frederick Buechner
I know, it's been a month since the election, but truth be told: I'm usually a little late to the current events party. I like to chew on things for a while, so it took me a bit of time to figure out what I had learned from this most recent trip to the ballot box.
The Limitations of Mockery and the Adventure of Authenticity
Tim Heidecker in 'The Comedy.'
"Somehow, directness has become unbearable to us." These chilling words are part of a valuable exposé written in the New York Times by Christy Wampole. Her piece 'How to Live Without Irony' bears witness to a generational descent into routine insincerity.
Mockery on the other hand can be direct at times- a dagger shoved into one person by another- but at its core, it is not so different from insincerity. Both are often a piece of armor used for self-preservation, a way to flee human connection by focusing on the other as a caricature while exempting one's self from the same level of scrutiny. I look around and am encouraged, because it seems even secular culture is growing weary of mockery taken to the extreme.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This first person is part of a series of first persons Baptist Press will be publishing in anticipation for the 40/40 Prayer Vigil for Spiritual Revival and National Renewal. The 40/40 Prayer Vigil is a North American Mission Board/Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission initiative to encourage Southern Baptists and other evangelicals to pray for 40 days, from September 26 to November 4. To learn more, visit
MARIETTA, Ga. (BP) -- The Prayer Vigil for Spiritual Revival and National Renewal is a great opportunity for Southern Baptist Christians to come together as a unified body and lift up our nation to our Almighty God. I believe this vigil can have a profound influence on the course and the future of our nation. History has demonstrated the power of believers coming together and becoming the catalyst for great awakenings.
In Daniel 9 we find the godly prophet Daniel crying out to God for such an awakening in his own people. He sincerely came before God "by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes." This was not a prayer before bedtime, but a crying out to God for His mercy and grace on a rebellious people. Daniel recognized specifically how Israel had turned against God by forsaking His law and shaming His name. In this contrite position of prayer Daniel also begged God for forgiveness for this disobedience. He faced the truth that they were getting exactly what they deserved and receiving the consequences for which they had been warned. In Daniel 9:18, 19 we find Daniel's basis for petitioning God:
"O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before you on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion. O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because your city and your people are called by your name."
The urgency in our day and for our nation is just as great! I could cite statistics, but I think that would be unnecessary. A simple look around at the decadence that surrounds us should suffice -- materialism, obsession with pleasure and entertainment, family breakdown, and on and on -- and sadly the church often reflects culture more than being a light to culture. It is not that we should pray, we must pray. When sin is the problem there is no human cure! Repentant faith in Christ is our only answer.
It is my hope that Southern Baptist Christians pray during the vigil. The Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission and the North American Mission Board have not only sponsored this vigil each election cycle since 2008, but they have prepared for us the Prayer Guide as an invaluable tool to aid in the effectiveness of our prayers. This guide can help both churches and individuals pray specifically for those issues in our nation, churches and our personal lives. I urge you to encourage each of your church members to earnestly pray to our great and awesome Lord during these 40 days of prayer.
Bryant Wright is pastor of Johnson Ferry Baptist Church in Marietta, Ga., and immediate past president of the Southern Baptist Convention.

If I died & went to Harlan Estate Winery …
Posted by Wayne
Monday, March 12th, 2012My original good intention for my second "killer" wine "To Die For" in this blog series was going to be a highly revered white, probably from Chateau Montelena. But "the best laid plans o' mice and ... sommeliers ... "gang aft agley" after a visit to a private collector's wine cellar and the quaffing of "first growth fruit". The wine that is the inspiration for this change of heart is one of a group of wines grown in California that are known as "Cult" wines.
"Cult" wines refers to any of the "typically but not exclusively Cabernets" for which collectors, investors and highly enthusiastic consumers will pay very high prices. The producers of such wines in California include Araujo Estate, Bryant Family, Caymus, Colgin Cellars, Dalla Valle, Diamond Creek, Dominus Estate, Dunn Vineyards - Howell Mountain, Grace Family, Harlan Estate, Hundred Acre, Kistler, Saxum Vineyards, Marcassin, Ovid, Scarecrow, Screaming Eagle, Opus One, Shafer Hillside Select, Sine Qua Non and Sloan.These wines are generally very expensive and are in limited production (often fewer than 600 cases per year) and can command several times their "release price" upon release. This also generally means that the wine releases are allocated to certain customers who pay a substantial membership fee to the Winery for the privilege of purchasing these highly sought-after vintages. - courtesy of Wikipedia.
As loudly as any wine produced from Burgundian acreage or any Bordeaux bastion might claim product superiority - because of its Premier Cru status (this literally means "First Growth" and refers to the status of wines produced on these fields as "the best of the best") - the wine profiled in this entry proudly claims excellence in its own right as a product of its proprietor's intent: "To produce a California "First Growth" from the hills of Oakville (California)." - H. William Harlan
My Second "To Die For" wine …
I would agree with Jancis Robinson when she says, "About the Harlan Estate, I had written impetuously, 'Why doesn't all wine taste like this?'".
Harlan Estate 2002, Napa (Oakville)
From an elevation of 225' to 1225', Harlan Estate Winery rises above the fabled Oakville Bench in the Western Hills of Oakville California. Sitting on both sedimentary and volcanic rock, the vineyard is planted with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petite Verdot. It produces 2 wines: The Harlan Estate red blend and its Bordeax-style sibling, The Maiden.
Honed from the natural landscape of Oakville by its mentor and progenitor, H. William Harlan, it is staffed by a by a long-serving, talented team of winemakers and agriculturalists who have embraced the vision of producing a First Growth California wine from the location and terroir of the winery.
A Real Estate Developer and Resort Owner, Harlan purchased this 230-acre property, a forested area, with steep hillsides, multiple elevations and exposures, west of Martha's Vineyard in Oakville and cleared 30 acres for viticulture (wine grape growing).
Winemaker, Robert Levy has been working with Harlan since 1983 when Harlan took part in founding the Merryvale Winery. Since 1989 the estate has retained Michel Rolland as consultant oenologist. Construction of the current winery was completed in 2002.
Harlan Estate Winemaking
Perfection in wine does not occur happenstance.
Robert Levy, another UC Davis graduate, has been with Harlan almost since its inception and arrived on-scene with experiences at other Napa well-knowns like Merryvale, Rombauer and Cuvaison. Robert immediately bought into the "First Growth" philosophy from the start; however, it is not only his direction that has developed the inspiration of Harlan Estate.
Michel Rolland, World renowned Bordeaux Consultant, has made significant ongoing contributions to the Harlan Estate mantra. This collective, forward-moving approach to making fine wine has contributed to Harlan Estates being compared to Chateau Latour and Chateau Haut Brion (Michel Jamais).
What are these conditions capable of?
"Harlan Estate might be the single most profound red wine made not just in California, but in the world." - Robert Parker on Harlan Estate Bordeaux Harlan Estate 2002 is one of those wines that can just be left with the expression, "Wow!", that everyone utters after experiencing it. Its powerful complexity and concentration and perfect balance navigate in a texture that is pure silk and elegance. When you drink, you don't wonder how it got to this level of satisfaction and pleasure, but you do wonder how other wines can ever achieve the same ... even its sibling vintages. It's a shame to analyze its components because the whole experience is greater than the sum of its parts - a status all winemakers strive to achieve.
(However, in an attempt to relay some of its quality), it is big, dark, concentrated and dense in pure, dark, ripe fruit. The oak has morphed into nuances of vanilla and dark chocolate that integrates very well with its typically earthy (almost black olive) quality of Oakville terroir.
Its texture is its greatest asset. After an hour or so in a decanter, its silkiness and complexity just improve.
Its finish? I don't know if you're ever finished with this wine once you've have it tattooed in your memory. As for the reality of the finish? Very long and reflective!
Restaurant Menu Matches for Harlan Estate 2002:
(Pairings courtesy of Bleu Provence, Naples Florida)
- Appetizer -
Seared Foie Gras with Raspberry Sauce
- Main -
Kobe Style Wagyu Beef Boneless Short Ribs in Red Wine with Mashed Potatoes and Baby Carrots
- Dessert Course -
Duo of Black and White Chocolate Mousse
The complexity, intensity and diversity of Harlan Estate 2002 makes wine choice simple as it will transport you through all course choices with complexity and depth, each pairing delivering a pleasant change in palette and aroma profiles.
Rackability (aka cellaring notes)
The only sources for this wine 10 years after its release would be from private cellars, the winery itself, high-end restaurants or wine exchange companies ... all will be difficult to access and be very expensive. The age it is at now would make it even more desirable than on release because of the positive effects that racking would have on its profile and availability.
Investment potential?
A quick look at auction prices shows a range of purchase price from $675 US a bottle to $1200 US a bottle. Harlan Estate 2002 will accrue in value even at these prices. Its quality and longevity are not yet at risk. It is a safe investment for another 8 to 10 years.
Harlan's website www.harlanestate.com is worth a look.
If you ever get a chance to taste any Harlan Estate vintage, drop everything and find the nearest glass!

Bodelwyddan Game Anglers have coarse and game fishing on rivers and lakes.
The River Conwy is famed for its salmon and sewin (sea trout). It also holds an abundant head of wild brown trout.
The River Clwyd is amongst best rivers around for sewin (sea trout), night fishing is always the best time for this quarry, from June onwards given the right amount of rain fall. It also holds an abundant head of wild brown trout.
The River Elwy is the major tributary of the Clwyd and fishes in much the same way.
The River Cledwen is the purists dream when fly fishing for really wild brown trout.
Hafod Pools are two waters which contain coarse fish and rainbow trout, used mainly by less able anglers who may fish with worm or fly.
Tai Lake covers an area of about 3 acres, spring fed, it holds rainbow and brown trout to around 8lbs. Fishing is fly and, for members only, worm.
Llyn Diwaunedd is around 40 acres. It has an abundance of hard fighting wild brown trout. The lake also holds the Artic char in its deep waters, but fishers are asked to return these to the water.
Llyn Sebri is mixed fishing with specimen coarse fish being present, including large eels. The lake was stocked last year with brown and rainbow trout and more recently with carp, bream and tench.

Again, this isnt exactly a ship sinking, but it does show how people can be put in danger while the ship is sailing happily and normally.
Onboard a Louis Cruise ship named the Majesty, the ship was on a 12 day cruise throughout the Mediterranean, when three rogue waves reaching in above 33 feet high (ten metres) and smashing the windows at the front and side of the ship.
A 69 year old German man and a 52 year old Italian man were both killed by the incident, Louis Cruises' not giving away information about how they died however one was apparently struck by a large piece of glass and were both dead before any form of emergency treatment could have been issued. An elderly woman also suffered with two fractured legs, and many other people with broken bones.
All this damage was inflicted whilst the liner was sailing in the Mediterranean Sea, off the north eastern coast of Spain, on an apparently calm day. There were no storm warnings and the shipping forecast showed nothing abnormal. Marine scientists have, up until recently, dismissed stories of freak or rogue waves, as they had little evidence to back these claims.However, in 1995, an oil rig in the North Sea recorded rogue waves measuring 84 foot high, in an otherwise calm sea. Since that date, the European Space Agency have embarked on a project called MaxWave, using satellite data to confirm that these waves happen more frequently than we are led to believe.
The vessel, Louis Majesty, is seven hundred foot long and has ten passenger decks. The freak waves reached six deck heights and caused excessive damage, forcing the liner to dock at Marseilles. There were around two thousand passengers on board at the time.
Other incidents of freak waves being reported have been dwarfted by a press release by the European Space Agency in 2004 which claims that "over 200 large vessels of six hundred feet or more have sunk without trace due to freak waves in the last two decades. An alarming figure, though not all confirmed, leads one to believe that incidents of rogue waves are not all that uncommon. .

See All
Handsome, well-built and able to communicate a rangy sort of charm in front of the camera, Dennis Quaid possesses many star qualities. Despite attaining heartthrob status for his work in such films as The Big Easy, however, Quaid has had a difficult time maintaining this status, thanks in part to work in a number of films that have failed to fully exploit his talent.
The son of an electrician and younger brother of actor Randy Quaid, Dennis was born in Houston, Texas on April 9, 1954. He began acting in high school, and in college he enrolled in a drama program. He dropped out at the age of 20 to follow his brother to Hollywood and spent the next year mired in rejection and relative unemployment. He got his first break in 1977 when he was cast in minor roles in I Never Promised You a Rose Garden and 9/30/55, but it was not until 1979, when he starred in the seminal coming-of-age drama Breaking Away, that Quaid gained attention. It was his role as astronaut Gordo Cooper in The Right Stuff four years later that finally gave the actor his Hollywood breakthrough. He subsequently went on to appear in a number of films of widely varying quality. 1987 proved to be a particularly good year for Quaid, as he did acclaimed work in The Big Easy and Suspect. That same year, he also starred in the comedy Innerspace; that experience proved to be an auspicious one, as it provided him with an introduction to co-star Meg Ryan, whom he would marry in 1991. The two also starred together in the 1988 mystery D.O.A. and in the crime drama Flesh and Bone in 1993.

I don't really want to buy it either. Besides the scenarios that I never play, what makes it worth $30? Didn't you say there's another ExPack coming soon that would include everything in Warlords?
I'd be up for another game simliar to JJ, but with the different difficulty levels.
you should be able to get it for less than 30$ now. maybe 20 or even 15. but come on... that's still dirt cheap
what makes it worth it:
- added warlords and promotions, which makes combat a lot cooler because you can have uber-units which have chance to beat units a lot better than yours or severely hurt that pesky awful triple-city-defence longbowman in the hill city you're been trying to get for ages.
- more leaders
- better balanced traits
- less idiotic AI
- less bugs
as for the next XP: it has not been officially confirmed. rumour mills on various gaming magazine sites think it could also be civ5, though civ4 is only 15 months old so realistically not yet.
if it's an XP, chances are high that it has all the features of warlords in it, as it would be pointless to remove the whole warlords functionality!
so in that case, maybe we should then go directly to that, whenever it is. in the mean time another civ4 game

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
This was getting heated a moment ago inside the senate hearing room there on -- -- Ghazi report.
We have heard Marco Rubio during the break -- -- -- -- just before that go back and forth with these leading members from the Department of State.
Drop and -- -- In June and August of 2011 regarding the root of the security situation -- what to what level of that those.
Cable and get reviewed -- -- suddenly would have been reviewed up through assistant secretary level and it may -- that some of my colleagues on the seven -- as well.
One word so beyond that level or any senior officials be on the assistant secretary level made aware of the repeated requests from the post.
For extended her additional security in particular there were requests made in March and July -- 2000 Nolan you know beyond the assistant secretary level those requests.
Forward and -- or some other written document.
I'm not aware of any specific memo that went beyond the six -- with regard to those specific requests that timeless and and you know if anyone beyond the assistant secretary level going up to the secretary's level where where where they made aware of the more than 200 security incidents that occurred on Gaza and thirteen months.
Leading up to the attack.
There were certainly memos student that came up to the seventh floor that talked about the deteriorating security situation history -- -- -- some investor has finally very hot Republican senator John brass was -- -- that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee answer.
Good morning to you we're watching and -- waiting to get more from this the report certainly was damning this week fewer than those three things that -- been Gaza.
What are the biggest villain and and I just walked out of the hearing I'm gonna go right back and I wanted to be able to talk with you about what number one is actually.
Aimed at the president of the United States he promised that those who did this would be brought to justice.
We continue to hear nothing about any successor efforts to identify those individuals and bring them to justice.
The second thing is really how -- we have put our.
Are people in harm's way the way we did they continued to ask for additional security it was denied.
Yesterday four people oh left the that the State Department resigned.
You know you can't fire people in the state department for incompetence.
Only for.
For -- -- -- negligence are you able to fire someone.
So that to me continues to be concerned that and I think there it is Douglas and test -- beyond that what important here in the lessons we've learned is very critical -- what we just heard.
Is that based on the previous attacks in that area Ben Ghazi that there remembers that we're going around the Department of State does that -- suggest that everyone.
Including Hillary Clinton.
Was aware of us.
Well that's why I want Hillary to still come and testify she didn't show up today because of illness I think it's imperative.
Did she comes to the senate and testifies.
In person in public and -- on the record as secretary of state.
To answer key questions as to what was she doing that day what did she know.
When did she know -- did she know about these requests that have been going on.
From from Ben Ghazi in Libya saying we need more help.
Was she involved in denying those -- senator curious that are there today that she will testify in January.
I mention -- the Republican will watch it together for you were talking about the lessons from Ben Ghazi.
Can you draw and and now.
Well I think there -- a number of lessons that we've learned the question is will they actually implement them senator worker was talking about earlier today.
There been a number of reports about incidents.
Through several different administrations.
And each time there are lessons learned but yet we don't implement those we know that there were things that happen.
In been guys -- it could have been prevented if they had only implemented.
The lessons from previous attacks.
Through the decades so the State Department has continued to fail at that some of those attacks took place in 1999 and they were devastating too for American embassies in Tanzania and Kenya.
Are you matches -- -- -- -- -- is a moment ago wanna listen to this now.
-- of the security risk there we've read the cables.
You were fully aware and either.
You send people there with security or you don't send them there I don't understand why you didn't send a notification out.
With the cables coming hand with concerns about security.
-- -- you did just what -- able to say are they seeking additional funds I don't understand the Appropriations Committee has never receipt.
From the State Department -- notification.
Asking to shift funds.
For security in the -- Is there an answer for that yet that's sufficient.
Well no there are -- there was gross failure -- book on the part of the State Department the question is who's to blame there we know that for people.
-- lost their jobs yesterday left their jobs.
I still need to know more in terms of what the secretary knew what she was doing today.
Of the attack as she was -- we've seen the videos of couple looks at the police just driving the way we feel there was no video there was.
No damage.
-- -- related to a video we know the what the administration has been saying afterwards was was absolutely.
And whether it was because of the election.
Whether it's flew in the face of the president's saying al-Qaeda is on the run when we know that al-Qaeda connected terrorist groups -- actually growing stronger.
And using Libya as a training center thank you for any questions appreciate your time get back to the hearing John -- -- there thank you on the thanks bill are more.

After a lot of research using the net, bass forums, you tube etc, I finally got an opportunity to try a new 2013, sunburst right out of the box,
the action and neck feel were incredible, ( I want all my basses to feel this way ). The tone quality, and versatility from the pickups, fantastic.
The Hip shot Drop D Tuner works great also adding to versatility. The 3-way split switch for the pickup selection is exactly what I needed, simplicity. I really wanted the black on black and was able to find one, after trying it out, it was a 2012 and been hanging around awhile - same silky feel, great tone as the sunburst I tried, a testament to the build quality.
