RINO Boehner Pushing Obamatrade, but Has He Read It?
Posted by William M. Finley on June 4, 2015 at 7:36am in Tea Party
Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Wednesday said he's hopeful the House will pass legislation this month granting President Obama fast-track trade powers, but said the votes aren't there yet . . .
Boehner acknowledged some in his party are opposing the fast-track legislation, known as Trade Promotion Authority or TPA, simply because they don't trust Obama.
But the Speaker added: "This is not about the president; frankly, it's about the country. It's why I've worked with the president on a number of trade agreements over the course of his tenure and my tenure as Speaker," including deals with Panama and South Korea.
Last month, the Senate passed TPA on a 62 to 37 vote. But the bill is facing a steeper climb in the House, where most Democrats are fiercely opposed. The bill would allow Obama to send to Congress the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a major trade deal among 12 Pacific Rim nations, for an up-or-down vote. Under the fast-track rules, lawmakers would not be able to amend the trade deal . . .
Later Wednesday, Boehner and his entire leadership team hosted a 20-minute pep rally in the basement of the Capitol with more than 200 pro-trade allies, including representatives from trade associations, the agriculture and shipping industries, and manufacturers.

We're talking about the government... Can you even remember the last time they did anything you could categorize as SANE?

I think Boehner got Obama to "allow" China (that made me scratch my head) - this goes back to that lovely trade deal when Clinton sold off, I mean made China our bankers. Then his famous line, "you can't really argue with your bankers."

That is because them scumbags in US Congress voted themselves to have a different insurance than Obamacare. These people the elitist in Congress, do not have to use Medicare. A system rob by the money we invested, and now they do not have money to do treatments. This was all orchestrated by Obama and Pelosi. Two birds of the same feather that flock together. I can't wait when they are out office.

Here is a link to a good article Re: 1965
http://www.crisismagazine.com/2015/1965-the-dawn-of-our-current-age
Subject: Fwd: Dumb or Clueless?
Irrefutably wrong so often....
You may recall that a few weeks ago, President Obama spoke of three former Presidents making prisoner swaps at the end of wars that took place on their watch, "much like this swap" he said convincingly. CNN carried this quote, "This is what happens at the end of wars."
President Barack Obama boasted Tuesday when he was asked about swapping American Army Sgt. Deserter for five vicious Taliban terrorists. "That was true for George Washington, that was true for Abraham Lincoln and that was true for FDR. That's been true of every combat situation that at some point, you make sure that you try to get your folks back...a nd that's the right thing to do."
That statement blatantly demonstrates that the most powerful man in the World and two term President of the United States lacks even a grade school level of knowledge of American History; specifically, history as it relates to three of our most famous presidents and it demonstrates again that we have essentially elected a foreigner who has no understanding of the very country that he reigns supreme over. Then again, he was educated at an IVY League school so you can't expect too much!!
What's wrong with his statements?
Let's keep it simple-- EVERYTHING is wrong!
1. George Washington did not become president until six years after the Revolutionary War ended in 1783. By 1789 there were no longer any prisoners for him to exchange.
2. Abraham Lincoln was assassinated in mid-April of 1865. The Civil War ended the following month. He was still dead at that time. No deals were made to exchange prisoners after the war. All prisoners were simply freed.
3. FDR died of a stroke before the end of WWII. Like Lincoln, he stayed dead after the war so he couldn't do what this jerk says he did. You'll recall that Harry S. Truman made the decision to drop two nuclear bombs on Japan, ending World War II. He made no deals for prisoners. We went in and released them when necessary.
4. None of the Presidents that Obama noted were in office at the ends of those wars, making it impossible for them to make any sort of prisoner swaps, let alone the 5 for 1, plus unspecified cash, for a deserter and traitor by our "57 States" president.
5. It should be pointed out that countless deserters and traitors were shot or hung during all three of the aforementioned wars.
What amazes one even more than the ignorance of the President is that he has managed to surround himself with a staff that is just as clueless ... or willing, as the media are, to cover for his dumb, lying rhetoric and behavior!
P.S. Obama mentioned while being interviewed on Super Bowl Sunday while in the Whitehouse kitchen, that George Washington drank beer in the White House when he was president.
George Washington never lived in the White House; it wasn't built yet.
And now you know, the rest of the story!

perhaps why he is president - he's not only a liar but he's also that stupid he'll just spew what others write for him. His Civil Rights speech was as delusional as this you post of. The odd thing that troubles me the most re Obama speeches (not that he's the liar he is, but), the whole crowd to these speeches clap and applaud and seem to believe what he is saying is fact. Including the media.

@Katherine Hovey,
I verified the dates mentioned in the article. What I wrote along with my email and FB post on this piece was that I believe Obama is mocking the American people because he believes they are that stupid.
I personally do not think he is as bright as he has been made out to be but I do think he is fully focused on destroying every institution and American tradition to punish her for her success.
Rather than look at the self imposed failures of certain individuals or communities and other countries, he would like to vilify the successful for having the audacity to achieve their hopes, as only he is allowed such honor. What a whack job he is, he has certainly raised the bar on the narcissism spectrum.

A WND Exclusive:
Senator to Obama: Justify keeping trade deal secret.
"As it becomes apparent that most members of Congress haven't even read the draft of a trade deal criticized by opponents as a monumental surrender of U.S. sovereignty, Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala., is demanding President Obama explain the legal basis for not releasing the text to the public."
Contending the TPP is more a treaty than a trade deal – creating a "nascent European Union" – the implications are "extraordinary," Sessions said.
They "ought to be discussed in full, in public," he said, "before Congress even contemplates fast-tracking its creation and pre-surrendering its power to apply the constitutional two-thirds treaty vote."
Ratifying a treaty requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate. With fast-track authority, an agreement like the TPP could be passed with only a majority vote of both the Senate and the House, and no amendments would be allowed.
Among the likely and declared candidates for the Republican presidential nomination in 2016, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, former Sen. Rick Santorum, Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Carly Fiorina and Dr. Ben Carson have voiced opposition to TPP.
In support of TPP are former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sens. Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Marco Rubio, R-Fla., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C.

Pretty sure he is up for reelection in 2016. How about we work our butts off to get his butt out of there. Tea Party need to come up with a good candidate to defeat him. Why do the voters keep putting him in? I am ignoring all candidates ads and only looking at their actions.

Man Utd offer Henderson mega £100k-a-week new contract
By our reporter	 On Aug 19, 2020 0
Manchester United are ready to ramp up the fight for the No1 keeper slot by almost doubling Dean Henderson's wages.
Henderson, 23, is on the verge of signing a mega new four-year Old Trafford deal worth £100,000 a week.
The England goalkeeper only signed a new £60k-a-week deal last year and is a clear sign Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants him to battle David De Gea for the No1 spot.
It also means United would be splashing out £575k a week just on their goalkeepers, with Spaniard De Gea earning £350k, Sergio Romero (£70k) and Lee Grant (£30k).
Henderson had another standout campaign on loan at Sheffield United last season.
And the Manchester United academy product's representatives have been in talks with Old Trafford chiefs over the last few weeks.
His new deal will also come with the option of a further 12 months, which can be activated at any time.
SunSport of UK understands there had been interest in Henderson from Chelsea, but no official approach has been made.

Earlier this week, De Gea, 29, defended his position as United's goalkeeper after insisting: "I am still the No1.
"I trust in myself. I have shown my qualities all the years. So I will just stay available for the manager.
"I'm always ready to play and try to help the team, as I have always done."

Q: iOS: Can I tell if a user has opted-out of Apple's "Share With App Developers" setting? We use a third-party analytics library in our app. I'd like to automatically opt users out of these analytics if they have the Privacy > Analytics > Share With App Developers switch turned off.
I understand that this is only for opting users out of Apple forwarding on the analytics they collect, but I feel the intention is clear: that the user doesn't want the developer to receive analytics, no matter the source.
Is there an API to check for this setting or is the only option to re-prompt the user in the app as to whether they want to send analytics?
For that matter is there a way to detect if the user has opted out of all analytics? The intention is less clear here as the description specifically says "Help Apple improve" but again it feels a little weird to prompt the user to send analytics if they've opted out at this level.

A:
Is there an API to check for this setting or is the only option to re-prompt the user in the app as to whether they want to send analytics?

No, Apple doesn't share any information related to user privacy.

Firstly I think that we, all the developers, need these Analytics, User Engagement & Crash Logs.
Having said that no App/Developer should ever violate the rights of user.
There comes Apple Privacy Policy to get user permission for Apple App Analytics to be sent to the App Developers enrolled in Apple Developer Program. But that's just Apple taking care of their legalities. As a developer, we should abide by the legal policies of our Company and abide by the App Store policies and policies of any third party libraries we are using in our app.
For example:

*

*Your App/Company must have a Privacy Policy page & Terms & Condition Page which you give to Apple in the iTunesConnect before uploading the App. So, when the user is downloading the App, he/she has to agree to them.

*You are using Crashlytics in your app. You should abide by https://firebase.google.com/terms/crashlytics.

Turtle Dreaming + Tiwi Islands | Sail Darwin! Turtle Dreaming + Tiwi Islands – Sail Darwin!
Sails: See scheduled dates to the right, plus on request. Best time to see turtles is around new moon and full moon.
Sometimes we visit the Tiwi Islands first, and sometimes we visit Bare Sand Island first, depending on prevailing winds, tides, Art Centre opening days, and what guests want to do. A typical itinerary is below.
After dinner, we return again to the beach where we watch for sea turtles making their way up the beach, and hopefully the chance to witness a female turtle making her nest and laying her eggs. Later in the season (from July onwards) you may also see the eruption of baby turtle hatchlings from their homes beneath the warm sand, as they begin their scramble towards the water.
We return you to Sundancer with cool drinks waiting, where Rocky will serenade you with the haunting sounds of the didgeridoo. You're welcome to learn how to play; or just lay back on the deck with the balmy night air wrapped around you like a soft blanket and the Milky Way a brilliant ceiling of stars across the night sky. At your leisure, make your way to your airconditioned private cabin for a peaceful night's sleep at a quiet anchorage (or if you prefer, you can sleep in a swag on deck, under a sky of diamonds).
In the morning, after a wholesome breakfast aboard we can explore any of several nearby reefs, and possibly hook a salmon or jewfish for some fresh lunchtime sashimi! Many a time dolphins will join us to play on the bow wave, plus there's a chance to spot dugong and massive sea turtles. After lunch we sail north to the Tiwi Islands and anchor in the Apsley Strait which separates Bathurst Island and Melville Island, close to the township of Wurrumiyanga (previously Nguiu).
After breakfast we go ashore at Wurrumiyanga on Bathurst Island, the largest community in the Tiwi Islands, where guests will join a full day tour by Tiwi Designs. On a typical day tour you will be met by one or more of the elders, given a traditional welcome to country, and join them for billy tea and damper. You'll then take a tour of the famous Tiwi Designs gallery where you can watch the artists, carvers and screen printers at work. Tiwi designs are noted world-wide – in 1986 the Tiwi people prepared the vestments worn by Pope John Paul during his Australian tour, the designs included both papal and Tiwi symbols. Tiwi pottery and Tiwi Pima woodcarvings are also expanding industries. Guests have the opportunity to buy goods direct from the artists. You'll also visit the museum which traces the history of the Tiwi people from Dreamtime to the present and the extraordinarily beautiful and unique Tiwi Catholic church. There's plenty of opportunity to meet and interact with locals and guests also have an opportunity to create their own piece of Tiwi Art to take home. After returning to Sundancer for another delicious barbeque dinner aboard, our overnight anchorage is again in Apsley Strait.
Depending on the prevailing winds, we may take a detour across to the Vernon Islands Conservation Area on the last day where there are some excellent deep holes and reefs for fishing, before a brisk sail back on the afternoon seabreeze – with keen guests permitted to assist with sailing and navigation – which sees us sailing back into Darwin harbour just in time for sunset.
Bare Sand Island is part of a chain of islands to the south-west of Darwin, at the entrance to Bynoe Harbour. The islands have strong cultural significance to local Aboriginal people and are part of the Dreamtime story. The route and itinerary can be varied to suit guests specific requirements. A typical route is shown below (click to open an interactive map in a new window).

Home Learning refers to any work or activities which pupils are asked to do outside lesson time, either on their own or with parents or carers. At Barton, experience tells us that Home Learning fulfils a number of important roles. For many parents it is a helpful means by which they are able to understand what subjects and skills their children learn at school. Research has shown that the most important factor in the academic achievement of children is parental involvement. Regular Home Learning is therefore a significant opportunity for parents to show interest and support their children's work.
The purpose and amount of Home Learning will change as children get older. For children in KS1, developing a partnership with parents or carers and involving them actively in children's reading is the key purpose.
As children get older, work at home will provide an opportunity for them to develop the skills of independent learning. It is important that children should gradually get into the habit of regularly devoting periods of time to study on their own. We encourage this by the use of project work throughout KS2.
By the time the children reach Y6 their Home Learning programme will cover a wide range of tasks and curriculum content. This will ensure that their transition to secondary school is as smooth as possible.

ERIN BURNETT, CNN HOST, OUTFRONT: The victims and their families are all in our thoughts and those missing as everyone hunts to find them. Thank you, all, so much for joining us. Our coverage of the Brussels attacks in Brussels continues right now with "AC 360."
We begin tonight with a new state department terror alert as well as the manhunt and new information about the bombings at two locations in Brussels. One at a crowded subway station in the center of the Belgium capital taking at least 20 lives wounding many, many more. The other at Brussels' main airport, short of the security checkpoint killing at least ten, also leaving many others badly injured.
The breaking news has to do with these three. Two suspected bombers, the black gloves possibly concealing detonators and a third man on the right who is believed to be at large suspected of guiding them to the target and making sure they carried out their horrible attack.
We are also gotten late word from Belgium's interior minister that he left a bomb behind that failed to go off. ISIS is claiming responsibility. Authorities believe it's the work of the same cell that carried out the slaughter in Paris. It follows the arrest on Friday of one Paris suspect who eluded authorities for months. It sparked a series of raids and a search that so far has uncovered another bomb and the makings of more, say authorities. It's once again shaken intelligence and security services around the world and has become a central focus of the American presidential campaign.
We got correspondents around Belgium and the world getting the latest information as well as some of the best security experts we know. We want to start with justice correspondent Pamela Brown who has new information on the state department alert as well as the three in the security camera image -- Pamela?
PAMELA BROWN, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT: Well, Anderson, the state department just sent out this alert to U.S. citizens warning them of the potential risks of travel to and throughout Europe in the wake of the attacks in Brussels this morning. This alert says that terrorist groups continue to plan near-term attacks throughout Europe, targeting sporting even events, tourist sites, restaurants and transportation which of course are soft targets. This ravel alert, it sets expires on June 20th, 2016. And it also says travelers in Europe, U.S. citizens should avoid crowded places. Well, it's going to be tough to do that if we are going through an airport or metros we saw there today.
And it is no surprising in all those alerts, warning of potential other attacks because we know at least one of the attackers, Anderson, escaped today officials believe and the working theory is these three men we have been seeing in that picture were part of a larger network. Investigators have been able to use that surveillance video, this is a screen grab from that, to track the movements of the three men and three of them are seen exiting a taxi and moving through the airport. The third man we see right here dressed in white left the airport after accompanying the two. That appeared to be planned. Question is, Anderson, where did he go after that? Was it to the metro stop where the other explosions went off an hour later or somewhere else? So a lot of unanswered questions at this hour.
COOPER: What information is there that possibly connects that man with the hat or the other attackers to the Paris attackers?
BROWN: Well, at this point it's a working theory that they are connected to Salah Abdeslam who we know was arrested last Friday. He was considered one of the ringleaders in the Paris attacks. They do believe that there is a connection there. One big reason is because the house where these men were, where the raid happened earlier today, is in that same neighborhood where Abdeslam was and where the Paris attacks were hatched essentially and just the timing of this as well, Anderson, a few days after Abdeslam was arrested. The belief is that they accelerated their plan, that this was already in the works for weeks, possibly months and then after his arrest, they decided to go ahead and launch the attacks - Anderson.
COOPER: All right, Pam Brown, thanks very much.
More now on how the two key pieces of this story connect mainly the manhunt and the discoveries in an apartment in a section of Brussels as well as a tip.
CNN's Fredrik Pleitgen is there joining us now.
What are you seeing? What are we learning? Last we talked several hours ago, there was an operation under way.
area with what appeared to us to be some sort of sniper taking aim at that building. And then, of course, later we heard that apparently the taxi driver that took these three men to the airport later said they picked them up right here from this building and apparently also there was one suitcase that didn't fit into the taxi that they left behind. And, of course, later the police came here and said they found a nail bomb. Perhaps it was inside that suitcase. So certainly the police very quickly managed to get to this apartment right here. Most probably because of that tip off from the taxi driver who said took the three men to that airport - Anderson.
[20:05:23] COOPER: Fred, if you could your cameraperson just push back into that apartment where as you say the forensic work is still ongoing, do you know whose apartment that is and how is it that police ended up at that apartment so quickly?
PLEITGEN: Very, very good question. We're going to pan up to that apartment, again, and then you can see that the forensic work is still going on there. We actually saw them, the flashes of what appeared to be photo cameras going off there just a couple seconds ago. Apparently the reason why they found it so quickly is that the taxi driver who picked up the three men to take them to the airport, the three men that apparently are in that shot that we're seeing from that cc-TV camera, he then said, listen, I identify these people, he called the authorities and told them that this is exactly the place where he picked them up.
And also, that they apparently when he got to the airport they apparently told him that they did not want him to touch their luggage and also that they apparently didn't get all the stuff that they wanted to get into the car actually in there. Now, you talk about this building, we've actually been speaking to some residents here around the area just now. And they are telling us that they believe that this building seemed kind of fishy in the past. However, they also said there recently apparently had been renovation work going on at this building as well. And so, therefore, they weren't sure whether or not there was something bad going on, but they certainly had a bad vibe about that building even in the weeks running up to what happened tonight. Whether or not anybody knew what was going on is anybody's guess, but they certainly said they did have a bad feeling about this building.
And if you look at it right now, it does appear as though most parts of that building are actually vacant and it's only that top floor where there's any sort of light on or any sort of sign that anybody might be inhabiting that building, Anderson.
COOPER: Fred, how far away is the neighborhood you're in right now from the Molenbeek area which is where Salah Abdeslam was from as well as other Paris attackers and where Abdeslam was ultimately apprehended just a new days ago?
PLEITGEN: Yes, it's not very far but Brussels is not a very big city. I would say that it is maybe, I would say maybe five miles away from where we are right now. We're in the northeast of Brussels. The Molenbeek is sort of more toward the west. But it isn't very far. One of the other things we also have to keep in mind about this particular neighborhood right here is that after the Paris attacks in November, it was found that one of the labs that apparently was used to make the explosives that were used in the Paris attacks was also in this district right here. Not exactly sure where in this district, but it was in the same district, in the district of Schaerbeek. And so, it's not very far away from Molenbeek. It is one that has seen raids after the Paris attacks.
And of course the run-up what we have seen today and the run-up of Salah Abdeslam being captured as well. So certainly, this is an area where the police has been operating in the past couple of months. When they conducted over 100 raids to try to apprehend Salah Abdeslam and those who are connected with him. And police also saying that they did found a considerable or did find a considerable amount of weapons, ammunition, and explosives in those many raids that they carried out since the Paris attacks. Some of them right here in this district, Anderson.
COOPER: The question, of course, that law enforcement is no doubt investigating very vigorously right now is, is it the same explosives used in the Paris attacks that were used in the attacks today in Brussels? And Fred, correct me if I'm wrong, but memory serves, I believe I remember that they still have not been able to identify who the bomb maker was from the Paris attacks or where his present location is. Is that correct?
PLEITGEN: No, you're absolutely right. They don't know whether or not they may have killed the actual bomb maker in one of the many raids. Let's keep in mind in run-up to Salah Abdeslam getting captured, there was a raid that took place the Tuesday before that where apparently a senior member of the cell that at least supported those who are conducting the Paris attacks were killed. So it's not clear whether or not that bomb maker was apprehended. It's not clear where that bomb maker is.
You're absolutely right. What they're going to try to do right now, the nail bomb that they found here, they're going to try to see whether the explosives that were used in that in any way, shape or form match those that were used in the Paris attacks and whether or not perhaps it could be part of the same cell or at least one that might be working together with the same ones who conducted the Paris attacks, Anderson.
COOPER: Right, Fred, thanks very much.
Two people got away from the raid the other day, one of them Salah Abdeslam, and then he was later apprehended. The identity of the other person who got away not known. So it is very likely authorities are looking for more than one person right now. Any kind of support network for this current cell and of course waiting to see if there's any connection to the Paris attacks.
through what happened this morning at the airport now that we kind of know a lot more.
ATIKA SHUBERT, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, we know the attack happened at around 8:00 a.m. People were gathering at the check-in desk, getting ready toward departing on the flights. Family members coming to say goodbye to family members who were getting on planes.
What we know now from investigators is that the three suspects arrived apparently by taxi, moved into the terminal. And in that surveillance video photo, you can actually see them pushing luggage trolleys with suitcases on them. Now, what we understand is that one of those -- at least one of those suitcases was left behind at the airport and later detonated by a bomb squad here. They believe it did have a bomb in it. So that may actually give us a clue to how these explosives were put together.
The other thing to notice in that photo is that each of them -- each of the men in black is wearing one glove. There's some talk among analysts this could have been way to hide their detonation devices that they used to actually blow up those explosives. From eyewitnesses, we know that at around 8:00 a.m., the first explosion went off near the check-in gate then just a few meters away, a few seconds later the second explosion then went off.
In the panic, people were simply trying to get out. They had no idea whether or not these were suicide bombers or not. That was later revealed by prosecutors. And then an hour later, the metro bomb struck. And what investigators are looking at now is whether or not the third man from the airport then traveled to the metro to carry out that attack.
COOPER: Atika Shubert, again, still a lot to learn on how large this network was, is there more than just that man in hat that authorities believe was involved and searching for right now?
Again, sadly that was the only so-called soft target we saw struck today. Joining us from the Maalbeek metro stop in central Brussels, freelance reporter Chris Burns.
So Chris, talk to me about the explosion in the metro station because it took place as Atika was mentioning about an hour after the airport explosions. What do we know now about what happened?
CHRIS BURNS, FREELANCE REPORTER: Well, Anderson, they are still trying to find out a little bit more of the clues as to who set these bombs and how they were put there. A forensics team has just gone down the street with another vehicle just moments ago. It is going through the night. They are picking through what is left of those blasts, that blast at the Maalbeek metro station which is just a few blocks south of me. It happened just after 9:00 a.m. This was when the full rush hour was happening, when hundreds of people are pouring out of these metro trains to go into these European Union buildings, the parliament especially is the closest one to the Maalbeek station. It is a station, in fact, the train where the bomb went off, the very rear of the train, is the part of the train where I usually ride on my way to the parliament several times a week and it just so happened that I didn't take it today and that's why I'm talking to you tonight - Anderson.
COOPER: Scary thing. Chris Burns, thank you for that reporting.
We should also point out Maalbeek is different from Molenbeek which is the neighborhood many of the Paris attackers grew up and actually tried returned to and ultimately did.
A lot more ahead in the next two hours of live reporting on AC 360 including what an American witness saw and heard as his train pulled into the Maalbeek station.
Also next, our intelligence and security panel weigh in on what their counterparts on the job are learning about the terrorists, the fugitive, the terror cell and how to stop the next attack.
[20:17:36] COOPER: Tonight's breaking news, an urgent manhunt now under way as we look at the apartment there in the neighborhood where Fred Pleitgen was just reporting from. Forensic teams, teams apparently at work. And as I said, this urgent manhunt under way at this hour in Brussels and beyond for one person and very likely more. We know the one person in the photograph at the airport, the man there you see in the white jacket there, the two men on the left believed to have died detonating devices at the airport this morning. But that man is believed to have survived, have left the airport. His identity, his whereabouts at this point unknown at least to us. His identity, and certainly his whereabouts are unknown to authorities. But it's very likely, say experts, there's a larger network involved here.
Just as they did in Paris, U.S. intelligence officials are cooperating with the Brussels investigation. They're also ramping up their vigilance in the United States.
Joining me now is CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank here, also CNN national security analyst, Juliet Kayyem who formerly served as U.S. assistant secretary for homeland security. And CNN national security commentator and former chair of the house intelligence committee, Mike Rogers.
Paul Cruickshank, you're from Brussels. You know, the city very well. What are you hearing the latest on these investigations?
PAUL CRUICKSHANK, CNN TERRORISM ANALYST: Well, they're working around the clock. They worry there are more attacks in the works from this wider terrorist cell, this broader network which was the network they believe also carried out the Paris attacks.
COOPER: So that is the operating hypothesis that they are connected?
CRUICKSHANK: That is the operating hypothesis that they are connected because remember, a week ago they went into this hiding place, the Salah Abdeslam. There were three terrorists there. When they went into to that residence eventually they found an ISIS flag, they found detonators, they found a Kalashnikov, they found ammunition and they found very similar stuff, by the way. in the apartment in Schaerbeek a few hours ago and ISIS flag and explosive device very, very similar materials suggesting this was perhaps a joined up plot, they managed to get one note of it, Salah Abdeslam, those three terrorists at the safe house. But they weren't able to get the rest of the note, unfortunately, and then we obviously saw what we saw play out.
COOPER: And then in terms of the explosive devices, do we know at the airport, even at the train station, do we know -- the subway, where they suicide vests, were they suitcases? I've heard conflicting reports all day long. And again, they may not have released that information.
[20:20:05] CRUICKSHANK: Well, we have a better picture of that now. And the picture that has emerged is that these three terrorists were staying in a residence in Schaerbeek.
CRUICKSHANK: Which was then eventually raided. They were picked up by a taxi driver.
CRUICKSHANK: And according to a (INAUDIBLE) Belgium media outlet, they had so much luggage, and the bombs by the way were inside the luggage, they couldn't fit it on the taxi. And so, they had to leave some of the bombs behind.
COOPER: That's the apartment where the forensics teams are now.
CRUICKSHANK: Yes. Those are the bombs that were eventually recovered. The ones they have to leave behind. But they had three big suitcases. And then the cc-TV footage of the airport recording just in the last minute, (INAUDIBLE) Belgian state media reporting, according to the cc-TV image that the authorities have looked through now, they load those onto three trolleys, wheel the trolleys into the terminal then they split up, all three men two of them somehow detonated the explosives inside the suitcases on the trolleys.
COOPER: And many of the injuries were to lower extremities.
CRUICKSHANK: Because they're very low.
COOPER: Which gives credence to the suitcase.
CRUICKSHANK: That is the assumption at this point that he was one of three suicide bombers.
CRUICKSHANK: And when you think of suicide bombers, this is a bit of a digit type of suicide bombing. I mean, these were trolley bombers. I mean, the suitcases on the trollies, a way they could try and detonate it, did they have some wire connected? People have looked at their hands. Were they wearing --?
COOPER: Two of them were wearing, seemed to be black gloves on the left hand.
CRUICKSHANK: And was that some was about to disguise wiring? You know, they're going to have to look at all that as they examine the forensics of the scene. But this is a new sort of type of bomber, ingenious kind of plan using effectively a trolley bomb to create a suicide attack.
COOPER: Juliette, you have no doubt that even if there's this one person who is now on the run, exactly what his role, whether he was more in control or whether he was meant to be a suicide bomber. You have no doubt there was a larger network here that is still out there?
JULIETTE KAYYEM, CNN NATIONAL SECURITY ANALYST: Absolutely. If you put the pieces together starting in December with the Paris attacks to now to the arrests last week and then to the detonations this morning. There so no way you can have an apparatus, plan, execute, succeed, hide for four months and then deploy again without an apparatus supporting them. Just think about how are they, where are they living, how are they getting fed, who is giving them money? And so, while we're going to focus on this one guy, the investigation is actually, you know, all throughout Europe if not the United States.
COOPER: Because from the raid that ultimately led to the arrest of Salah Abdeslam, two people escaped, one of them was Salah Abdeslam. He was later apprehended. We don't know the identity of the other person, correct?
CRUICKSHANK: Actually, the other person that escaped from the safe house on the Tuesday was also arrested on this Friday. Has been formerly identified that he has all sorts of fake names. They're trying to figure out who exactly he is. He was arrested. He's in custody. It's another node they think of this wider network that was responsible for today.
Abdeslam is talking and does know any details, they want to try to execute this operation, explode their devices before they're tracked down and caught?
COOPER: Are Belgian authorities up to this challenge? There was a very critical article I think it was "the Daily Beast" published a short time ago in which U.S. intelligence officials were quoted or U.S. officials were quoted with very tough words for the capabilities of Belgian law enforcement.
COOPER: Paul, this morning I read a great article you have on CNN.com right now which basically is kind of a tick tock timeline of what is now known about the Paris attacks and there was a lot of information there that I frankly had not remembered or had not even known. I remember thinking, we all kind of in the early days that that guy Abaaoud was the mastermind, controller of all this. But in the article you wrote, go to CNN.com to look at it, there were calls made by Abaaoud and others text, whether text messages, encrypted messages or even cell phone calls made during the attacks and before the attacks in Paris that night to phone numbers in Brussels, correct?
COOPER: He's the guy killed.
COOPER: It is known he's still at large?
CRUICKSHANK: He's still at large and he may be the bomb maker here because his DNA was found at the bomb factory which, by the way, was for the Paris attacks also in this district of Schaerbeek where they found this other device today.
COOPER: A lot more to talk about. We're going to be talking to our panel through the next hour and a half.
Just ahead, I'm going to talk to a young American who was on the subway train pulling into that metro station when the explosion went off. Hear what he did to get out alive.
[20:31:20] ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: Tonight's breaking news, a manhunt under way across Brussels and beyond in the wake of today's deadly terror attacks. At least 30 people were killed, more than 200 wounded, some gravely. ISIS has claimed responsibility. The explosions came about an hour apart. First, at the city's airport where there were two explosions, then at the metro station.
Brian Carroll is an American. He was in a subway car that was pulling into that very -- metro station when the explosion occurred. He was on his way to a conference. He joins me tonight.
Brian, you were in Brussels for a conference, traveling on the subway as it pulled into the station. Take us through what happened.
BRIAN CARROLL, METRO TERROR ATTACK SURVIVOR: Yeah. You know, I don't normally take the metro, actually, but I had to be in a conference in downtown Brussels this morning. And as I, you know, as I was leaving my house this morning, I was looking at my phone and I saw I had some push notifications about an attack at the airport.
And as I was walking to the metro, I actually had a moment of hesitation thinking, maybe this is not the best day to take public transportation. But, you know, based on where I was going, it was by far the most practical way to get there and I thought, you know, what are the chances that anything will happen and, you know.
COOPER: Was the explosion on the train that you were on?
CARROLL: Now, I believe so, but in the moment I didn't know. I didn't know where -- I felt an explosion and the train stopped in its tracks. The lights went out. The power went out. Everyone dropped to the ground. They were screaming. But I didn't know at that moment in time if the attack was happening on the train I was on, or if it was happening at the station as we were pulling up to it. It really wasn't clear to me. But, I knew immediately and I think others around me recognized this was a terrorist attack.
COOPER: And so, it was as the train was pulling into the station that the explosion occurred?
CARROLL: Exactly. Yes. Yes. And I'm not even sure if the full train pulled into the station. The car that was I was in made it to the platform, but we, you know, we got on the ground immediately. People were obviously very distraught, crying and screaming, and, you know, others were yelling at other people. We were kind of saying, you know, calm -- let's calm down and get on the grounds.
And so we got down and then we were just waiting. I was literally down there waiting, thinking, what is happening? We heard multiple explosions. It sounded like bombs, but I didn't know if it was guns or what was going on. I was, in may mind, I was just running through everything I know of, that I've heard of of terrorist attacks, you know, what happened in Paris several months ago, things like the Virginia Tech shooting. It's just running through my head what happens in these situations. And, I'm just thinking what do we do now, you know.
And as I was on the ground, some of the other -- the passengers, as we heard these other explosions happening, made an attempt to open the door but it was, you know, the power was out so the doors weren't opening automatically. So we sort of collectively, manually pried open the door. And we were there on the platform and, again, I kind of had a moment of hesitation, do I get off, do I make a run for it? Because I don't know if these attacks are happening within the train or maybe it's in the station. Am I going to run into some terrorist shooting? You know, I have no idea. And then I just thought, you know, I'm just going to try to get out of this situation as fast as I can and make a run for it.
[20:35:04] COOPER: You said there were other explosions. Were they -- I'm trying to understand what those might have been. Were they as loud as the initial blast?
CARROLL: No, no, perhaps, you know, I'm reflecting on it now. The first explosion was very loud and it jolted the whole train to its halt. Then there was a second round, maybe two or three more explosions, sounds. You could hear that they were close by, but not right in the vicinity where I was. So I don't, you know, like I said, I didn't know if it was happening on the train or if it was happening in the actual -- the station.
COOPER: And the initial explosion, as the train is coming in, did you actually see, of you know, a blast, did you've see a flash of light at all or you just heard it.
CARROLL: The first one, I just heard it. You know, and then when I got out onto the platform, and was exiting the station, the whole station was in ruin. I mean there was soots and smoke everywhere. There was glass broken on the ground. It was clear that there was an attack, that there was a bombing. I didn't see anyone hurt, but, again, I couldn't see, it was completely dark in there as well.
I just kind of went right for the exit and as I was exiting, the whole exit was destroyed. There was glass on the ground. And as I was exiting the metro, you know, I went right into the street and people on the street were looking into the entrance of the metro puzzled, confused trying to figure out what those noises were, why people were running out. It all happened extremely fast.
COOPER: Oh Brian I'm so sorry for what you and everybody in Brussels have been through today and thank you for talking to us.
COOPER: Well, the terrorists struck Belgium's capital during president Obama's historic visit to Cuba. He arrived Sunday becoming the first sitting U.S. president to visit the island in nearly nine decades. Here's what he said today about the deadly attacks in Brussels.
BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: We will do whatever is necessary to support our friend and ally, Belgium, in bringing to justice those who are responsible and this is yet another reminder that the world must unite. We must be together regardless of nationality or race or faith in fighting against the scourge of terrorism.
COOPER: After making those remarks in Havana, president Obama went to a major league baseball exhibition game. He's now on his way to Argentina. He's been criticized by some for not cutting his trip short. Jim Acosta joins me from Havana.
The Republican candidates were very quick to criticize President Obama for attending the baseball game today in Cuba.
JIM ACOSTA, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: That's right, Anderson, Donald Trump, John Kasich, Ted Cruz. They were all slamming President Obama for going to that baseball game today for remaining in Cuba instead of flying back immediately to Washington.
You know, I talked to White House officials about this. And you know what they say, "Listen, look at what President Obama accomplished on this trip. He got the communist dictator here on this island, Raul Castro, to answer a question from a reporter. I know the reporter. He did a decent job."
The president gave a speech to the Cuban people where he criticized the government here, called for democratic changes expanding freedoms for human rights all in front of Raul Castro who is in the audience and, yes, they did take in some baseball diplomacy. They both sat together at that baseball game at the stadium here in Havana.
There was even a moment where President Obama and Raul Castro did the wave together and perhaps that was a little too much. Maybe that was a little over the top, but White House officials say consider the larger sea change that took place here on the island, Anderson.
COOPER: Is part of President Obama's thinking on not rushing back to Washington that he doesn't want to allow acts like this by terrorists to change global diplomacy, to change, you know, the president's plans?
ACOSTA: That's right. There are two things. One is, White House officials say this every time, and trust me, Anderson, I've been on a lot of these trips and many, many times there was international terrorism or some huge crisis that overshadows the trip.
The White House says, listen, President Obama has it where he goes, he has air force one, he has wi-fi, he was on the phone earlier today with his National Security Adviser Lisa Monaco. He was on the phone with her along with Susan Rice, his national security adviser. So, you know, this is something that the president can do while he's on the road.
But he did do an interview with ESPN at the stadium here earlier today and during that interview he said essentially the same thing. He just said Anderson, that you can't -- this is essentially letting the terrorists win if you up-end your entire trip and rush back to Washington.
He says, "Yes, you have to be conscious of the fact that the whole world is watching, but after you pay your respects, you have to get your job done." Anderson.
COOPER: Interesting. I mean other critics would say we're returning to Washington is one thing, going to a baseball game is another. But again leave it up to viewers to make up their own minds. Jim Acosta, tnaks very much.
[20:40:00] Just ahead more breaking news across Europe tonight. It show solidarity in the state of high alert after the deadly bombings in Belgium. The latest on the investigation, coming up.
COOPER: The Eiffel Tower glowing tonight in the colors of Belgium to show unity, solidarity after today's deadly terror attacks in Brussels.
Authorities believe the attacks were the work of the same cell that carried out the slaughter in Paris.
This hour, Brussels remains on lock down and on Paris, and all across Europe. Authorities are on alert.
Our Nic Robertson has been talking to his extensive sources. He joins us now. What do you learn in terms of what neighboring European countries are doing in response to this manhunt?
NIC ROBERTSON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EDITOR: Well, one of the first things that's done, Anderson, is to increase border security. Belgium, and the France, Belgium, and France and Germany have tightened their border security.
You know, part of this, it looks good, it reassures people they're doing something. The reality is there are terrorists on the loose. And they potentially may try and get out of Belgium, move around. So, it's got a very real kink to it.
The French president today called his defense cabinet early on, his been his prime minister, former minister, interior minister, justice minister, defense minister, head of the armed forces and he decided to put an extra 1,600 troop or police officials on the border security.
[20:45:11] The same in Britain. We had the prime minister here having a cobra meeting, his security meeting, he's picked up security at transport hubs, at airports, at the underground network in London.
So, a lot's being done to stem what could be a very real threat but also it's to reassure people as well, the question is how long does all that stay in place? You know, after the heat dies down in the immediacy after these horrible attacks, Anderson.
COOPER: Yeah, and also how many systemic changes have really been made is after the attacks in Paris, and we heard so much about the need for better intelligence sharing between European countries, has anything really changed since Paris?
ROBERTSON: You know, on the surface, we really don't see at these changes. People will tell you, take time. You know, it's a balance for sort of national security issues. But for sure, ISIS is tipping the scale. You know, you had the French President today saying we've got to unify Europe, we've got to be united on this.
You have President Obama saying the world has to be united. You have the British Prime Minister today saying, well it could have been Germany, France, or Britain where these attacks took place.
The reality is the in type of intelligence sharing that is required is even difficult to achieve inside the United States. Never mind across international borders like Europe. But that's where the improvements have to be seen.
COOPER: Nic Robertson, thanks very much. We turn now to Maajid Nawaz is unique perspective is always valuable at times like this. Imagine, he's the author of "Radical: A Journey Out of Islamist Extremism. He's a columnist at "The Daily Beast."
Maajid, thanks so much for being with us. You know, we've heard now and we learned so much about Salah Abdeslam in the last several months and how he was able to stay out on the run even though there was this massive manhunt and part of the thing I find so interesting is we keep seeing these overlapping networks between Jihadists, between Islamist extremists but also petty criminals and Salah Abdeslam sort of seems to move between all of these groups.
MAAJID NAWAZ, THE DAILY BEAST COLUMNIST: Yes. I think one of the situations that we're dealing with in Europe is a close-knit group of friends that grew up in Molenbeek and in the surrounding regions who, you know, at the end of the day, if one becomes radicalized and joins a terrorist organization, their friends have more loyalty with each other than they feel any sense of affinity towards Belgian society and not speaks to a state of disintegration on the continent of Europe between its Muslims and non Muslims which is an urgent matter that we all need to address immediately.
COOPER: What particularly is it about Belgium? I mean, what is it about the situation there, the certain pockets in Brussels that's laying the groundwork for something like this to happen? Is it lack of assimilation? What is it?
NAWAZ: It was a combination of factors, Anderson. I mean, lack of assimilation, lack of integration is one major factor. The fact that Belgium has sent more foreign fighters to join ISIS per population than any other European city is a factor. I mean this is the global Jihadist insurgency hitting home in Europe.
Let's not forget that this month alone, there have been seven other cities that have been attacked. Two attacks in Turkey, two in Pakistan, one in Mali, one in Nigeria, and one in the Ivory Coast. And so I think we're dealing with the problem the scale of which we're yet fully to comprehend. And when I say we here, I mean governments, Western governments in particular, the international community, and I mean all of us in society.
And Belgium is in danger of becoming the nexus or a hotbed of extremism across Europe because of the sheer concentration of fighters that have gone, 100 have joined ISIS and that's one group of ISIS from Brussels, alone.
And so, I worry about with Europe in the Schengen system, future attacks I think are almost inevitable this year.
COOPER: It's also interesting because earlier today, Germany's interior minister criticized Belgium saying they could, possibly have acted sooner when it came to finding these cells in Molenbeek.
Are other E.U. countries, do you think since Paris doing any better of the job of identifying cells before something actually happens or is it more complicated than that?
NAWAZ: No, it's a lot more complicated than that. I mean, credit to the security services. They are working flat-out. The only reason I think we're yet to have an attack in the U.K. on this scale is because the English Channel separates us and we're not part of Schengen leader system.
We do have a border with Europe despite our membership of the European Union. But whether it's in France or Belgium or any other European country, there's only so much these overworked security services can know.
I mean how many people -- if you imagined 100 have gone to joined ISIS just from Brussels alone, and imagine all the friends that each one of those 100 has and their siblings and their neighbors, how many people can you seriously and realistically monitor?
And this is why I use the word global Jihadist insurgency because the problem has reached insurgency levels. And to deal with that, we going to need a full spectrum whole of society response which will include Europe's Muslims to stand and come forward and challenge this in their own communities.
[20:50:03] But actually it also includes everybody else as well. It's a collective effort.
COOPER: And are you seeing that more? I mean, it's something you obviously are working on around the clock, more people within the Muslim community coming forward to challenge this?
NAWAZ: There are more voices emerging. People are becoming sick and tired of ISIS, al-Qaeda and any other Jihadist organization claiming to speak in their name. Unfortunately, though, there's a polarization that's also emerging. I mean, the fact that so many have gone to join ISIS means that people are reacting to globalization and the identity politics that it gives rise to in the opposite direction as well.
And I worry, Anderson, with the U.S. presidential elections that are coming up, and some of the rhetoric coming from people like Trump, and some other candidates, to be honest, and also in Europe with the rise of populism, that some of that rhetoric will push people even further in the opposite direction. We've got to understand here that division and identifying people primarily by their religion is what ISIS does and it's what they want everybody else to do, these are the Muslims as well.
I shouldn't be a Muslim, first and foremost, when I speak to you. I should be a European and British citizen whose concern for secular liberal democratic values. And that last statement there applies to my fellow Muslims when they speak, as well as to people like Trump and others who seek to identify us, first and foremost, as Muslims rather than citizens.
COOPER: Maajid Nawaz, good to talk to you. Thank you. Coming up next, messages of hope and love in the face of hate and terror in Brussels, tonight.
[20:55:19] COOPER: Once again, a city shattered by terror is staying strong refusing to bow to it. Our Phil Black joins us from a makeshift memorial not far from the Brussels stock exchange. Walk us through the scene there. Describe what it's like.
PHIL BLACK, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yeah, Anderson. Across Central Brussels tonight, it has been still quiet, eerily so.
But not here in this square the past still abhors. This is where we've seen thousands of people come over the course of the evening and even now as it approaches 2:00 a.m. local time.
There still dozens of people here. They've been coming through the evening leaving flowers, candles, singing together, chanting, strangers holding hands.
We've seen people weeping here openly, sharing too many emotions that they have been feeling over the course of its terrible day for this city. Certainly grief and sorrow have been the overwhelming feelings here.
And all of this has taken place under the watchful eye of pretty strong security. We've seen police, armed soldiers, patrolling the perimeter of this crowd and also moving amongst it. But despite that security presence, you really get the overwhelming feeling here that this crowd was still vulnerable, vulnerable to the sorts of attacks that struck this city today.
And we've spoke to people. They said they know this, but they were determined to be here despite that. A real sense of defiance, determination, and unity has brought this crowd spontaneously to this location tonight.
COOPER: And I've been looking at photographs all day of people writing in chalk on the ground.
BLACK: Yeah. All across this square, Anderson, people have taken bright chalk and written messages, overwhelmingly they speak of peace and love. They denounce violence.
Some of them say, we are all Belgians. I saw one that said, "We stand together against hatred."
And one that I found particularly striking, said, "I cry for my city, but I know we are strong." Anderson.
COOPER: A lot of strength. Phil Black, thank you very much.
Much more ahead tonight including more on the search for the man on the right in that surveillance photo and other suspects who may be out there in today's terror attacks.

Police have used road spikes to stop a vehicle during a pursuit in Tauranga.
A police spokeswoman said a speeding vehicle allegedly failed to stop for police in Mount Maunganui shortly before midnight on Thursday.
Police chased the vehicle and spiked it a short time later in Pāpāmoa Beach.
The chase ended in Blake Boulevard, where the vehicle drove into a low brick wall at a residential property.
The spokeswoman said a 28-year-old woman was arrested on driving charges and was due to appear in court on Monday.

But if Jesus is really king over all the earth, and he really wants us to take him at his word when he says to go into every corner of the world and live like lamps on a stand, then we need to work out what God's great story can mean for the way we interact with and about politics.
I've been having a lot of conversations with folks lately about my general principles for approaching politics, whether it's as a political operative working on a campaign or as a private citizen having a talk at a bar. Over the next couple weeks, I'm going to fire off a few short blog posts introducing those principles, starting with a brief outline of what Genesis 1 means for the way we should talk about our political opponents.
And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so. And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good.
The Christians story teaches that everyone carries the image of God. Every person can trace their roots back to the moment just before God elevated his opinion of his own creation. Every person carries a heritage that makes them worthy of respect—even the people with whom we disagree.
To Christians, our political opponents shouldn't be monsters, demons or craven animals. Our political opponents are image-bearers of God. And in an increasingly polarized political environment, learning to imbue our opponents with divine dignity even as we vehemently disagree with them is potentially one of the biggest ways we can stand in contrast to the world around us.


This year we had a new addition to our family. Our brand-new bundle of joy kept us up many sleepless nights, but she stole our hearts immediately. She walks on four legs and is covered in fur, but that doesn't make her less important as a bona fide member of our family.
West Chester & Liberty Lifestyle turned one in November! We want to extend a great big thank you to our advertisers, partners, supporters and staff who attended our one year anniversary celebration at the Hilton Garden Inn. We're looking forward to a wonderful second year of this community magazine!
Northern Cincinnati's premier "eatertainment" district at the Streets of West Chester recently broke ground for several new restaurants and stores near Topgolf and Main Event. Chuy's Tex-Mex restaurant was the first tenant to commit to the new project. Chuy's will build a freestanding restaurant which will mark its fourth location in the region.
Most of us know that chocolate is off limits to dogs; however, did you know about these other common food and beverage items that shouldn't be eaten by your pet? Animal Hospital of West Chester shares the top human foods that cats and dogs shouldn't touch (this list is not all-inclusive).


Apple updated iMovie for the Mac today, making it a lot more like the iOS version.
First, the 'New Project' button is now easier to track down in the projects browser. It's basically the first option in the library.
Apple also increased the thumbnail views for all movies, and lets you edit projects with a single click. When you click on a clip, it now selects the entire video instead of a portion.
If you do want a range instead of the clip, hold down the 'R' key and drag the slider to grab a piece of video from your clip.
If you have an Apple TV or iPad Pro, Apple also supports native preview resolutions for each (1600×1200 for iPad Pro and 1080p for Apple TV).
Though it's still a trackpad and keyboard experience, iMovie for Mac is a lot more like iOS with its default to select entire clips and range selection. Aesthetically, it's also a bit more familiar for iOS users, which may encourage casual users to turn to it on the desktop, too.

She Is All She Can Be
Miss USA 2016 Deshauna Barber makes being "Army Strong" look better than ever
How do you define "beauty"? The delegates competing for the title of Miss USA 2016 proudly declared their definitions with vernacular such as confidence, intelligence, compassion, strength, power, fitness, harmony, adventurousness, integrity, caring, tenacity, wisdom, diversity, competitiveness, freedom, dedication, and fearlessness. With the 62nd Miss USA title awaiting one of the 51 titleholders, the night was a testament to their definitions of beauty.
Rolling the dice and returning to Las Vegas was another winning bet by the WME/IMG and Miss Universe Organization team. Settling into the new Miss USA home of MGM Grand and the state-of-the-art T-Mobile Arena, the excitement intensified throughout the two-week preparation for the Fox Network telecast showcasing these confidently beautiful women. With cameras rolling and the raucous audience on its feet, the Miss USA pageant, hosted by Julianne Hough and Terrence "J" Jenkins, with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model Ashley Graham providing backstage insights, had arrived.
The festive competition kicked off with a humorous cameo by Miss Universe host Steve Harvey imploring Miss USA host Terrence Jenkins never to utter the infamous word "Colombia" (in reference to our nation's capital) under any circumstances.
The state introductions, backed by Australian sister DJ duo Nervo, set the up-tempo vibe for the competition. As each delegate took to the stage, a deafening roar emanated from the zealous live audience. The quest for Miss USA had commenced, and it was time to announce the final 15: Miss South Carolina USA Leah Lawson, Miss Ohio USA Megan Wise, Miss Georgia USA Emanii Davis, Miss Arizona USA Chelsea Myers, Miss Alabama USA Peyton Brown, Miss West Virginia USA Nichole Greene, Miss District of Columbia USA Deshauna Barber, Miss California USA Nadia Mejia, Miss Missouri USA Sydnee Stottlemyre, Miss Connecticut USA Tiffany Teixeira, Miss Hawaii USA Chelsea Hardin, Miss South Dakota USA Madison McKeown, Miss Arkansas USA Abby Floyd, Miss Virginia USA Desi Williams, and Miss Oklahoma USA Taylor Gorton.
The Swimsuit competition, set to the music of Nervo, would narrow the field from fifteen to ten. In swimwear of their choosing, the delegates showcased a commitment to a fit and healthy lifestyle. Styles were as varied as the delegates' individual personalities, and the task of winnowing the original fifteen was becoming more difficult for the judges. However, a decision was rendered and the top ten Miss USA finalists representing Virginia, Alabama, California, Georgia, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Missouri, Arkansas, South Dakota, and Hawaii welcomed the opportunity to continue the journey to the crown of Miss USA 2016.
With the competition as hot as the desert heat of Las Vegas, the ever glamorous Evening Gown competition featured each state representative in a graceful and visually aesthetic presentation, accompanied by country music artist Chris Young. As the final wisp of chiffon and beaded accruements exited the stage, the field was winnowed with the announcement of the remaining top five. Advancing to the Question Round were Miss GA USA, Miss HI USA, Miss DC USA, Miss AL USA, and Miss CA USA.
The questions put forth would determine the fate of these beautifully confident young ladies, as only three would continue on the Miss USA 2016 stage. Although paraphrased, the contestants were asked the following: Miss Alabama USA was asked what should be remembered most as Muhammad Ali's legacy; Miss District of Columbia USA addressed the decision to open combat jobs to women; Miss Georgia USA spoke on the subject of states making it too difficult to vote; Miss California USA ventured an opinion on how to narrow the gap of social inequality; and Miss Hawaii USA deftly answered the question of her voting preference between presumptive nominees Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump. Standing on a worldwide stage with millions watching, addressing concerns that many of our elected officials have difficulty explaining, the Miss USA definition of Confidently Beautiful was becoming much clearer.
There were now three women awaiting the moment to hear their name announced as Miss USA 2016. But first, each would have to answer the same question: How would they define Confidently Beautiful? As each took center stage to assert her definition, the crowd again roared its collective approval and support of each young woman. With the final question concluded, the ultimate decision was put into the hands of the judges.
As the judges' pronouncement was rendered and tallied, the final trio of Miss Georgia USA, Miss Hawaii USA, and Miss District of Columbia USA took a final presentation walk while serenaded by crowd favorite, the Backstreet Boys. Resplendent and confidently beautiful in the knowledge that each one left nothing on the stage, the Miss USA finalists and the audience awaited the announcement. Miss Georgia USA Emanii Davis was announced as 2nd runner-up. Holding their collective breath, the two remaining delegates took center stage. With the announcement of Miss USA 2016, Miss Hawaii USA Chelsea Hardin became 1st runner-up; and Miss District of Columbia Deshauna Barber, a Logistics Commander in the U.S. Army, captured the coveted crown. How do you now define "beauty?" In total agreement with our confidently beautiful Miss USA representatives, we define it as Miss USA 2016.
Pageantry magazine: You're standing there onstage. The eyes of the world are upon you. It's just you and Miss Hawaii. What are you thinking?
Deshauna Barber: Well, I'm telling myself that I just feel so honored to have been standing there with her. I was glad to have made it that far. I just kept telling myself in my mind that no matter what happens, I am just excited to have made it that far, and regardless of what happens in 30 seconds, I'm still going to be Deshauna Barber. I'm still going to feel humble. I'm still going to feel very flattered that I even made it to the top two.
PM: I'm sitting right there at the stage, and your reaction was extremely emotional when you realized that you were Miss USA.
DB: It was, and actually, I didn't know I would react that way. I thought I would react the way that most girls react, which just seems like, "Oh, my gosh"… so happy, smiling. But it was totally not the way I planned it. If I had planned the reaction, or if I had thought about it previously, I thought, "If I'm going to make it this far, maybe I'll just smile and be happy." I think every girl thinks about what type of reaction they're going to have, and they envision a certain reaction, and what I envisioned was not what happened.
PM: Let's talk a little bit about your media tour.
DB: I've been on Good Morning America with Robin Roberts. She is so awesome. I loved chatting with her. Her father is actually a Tuskegee airman, so she and I had a really great conversation before we went on air. I was also on Live with Kelly, and she brought me Krispy Kreme donuts, so that was pretty cool. I did Insider. I did Sway's Universe, and Sway is amazing. He probably had one of the funniest shows in terms of the media tour, because he was asking extremely wild questions. I also did The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
PM: Of course with radio, television, and print people like us, what question is asked of you the most?
DB: How do you feel in that moment when you're holding hands with Hawaii, what were you thinking? That was a question I've gotten a lot because I think everyone's wondering what's going on in your mind. It's a very high anxiety moment. I know that any person who's been standing there, where you're the last two standing, it's probably the most nerve-racking position to be in. Terrence J had probably a 45 minute pause after he said, "Miss USA 2016 is…" I swear I was waiting there for about 45 minutes before he said, "District of Columbia."
PM: We know he wasn't supposed to say "Columbia."
DB: He wasn't. He should have just said, "DC."
PM: You're in a unique position that you're a service person representing our country. What do you feel is the biggest challenge facing our veterans today?
DB: The biggest challenge is absolutely PTSD [Posttraumatic Stress Disorder], and it's a platform that I want to discuss throughout my reign this year. I definitely want to bring awareness. It's been a topic that I've interacted with a lot in terms of the soldiers that I've had to take care of. Twenty-two veterans commit suicide each and every day, so I hope that one day that number will become zero. Right now my platform absolutely has been focused on PTSD awareness.
I'm also going to be pushing breast and ovarian cancer awareness, which is something that the Miss Universe Organization has already established as their platform, so I'll be doing that, and also PTSD awareness.
PM: You're in the reserves. Can you tell us, our readers, our listeners, what responsibilities you actually have as a quartermaster?
DB: Quartermasters, we supply everything. It can be different within each branch. The quartermaster covers supply, fuel, water, and mortuary affairs. There're a couple other ones, but those are the main four elements that quartermaster covers. Personally, I'm in the fuel element of the quartermaster branch, so my unit is focused primarily on testing and approving fuel.
PM: Have you heard from anyone in your unit, and if so, what has been their reaction?
DB: I've heard from all my soldiers. I'm a commander right now, so all the soldiers that work under me have reached out to me and they've been outrageously supportive. Out of 150 phone calls, probably 125 were my soldiers blowing up my phone. They all watched the competition. They actually went to annual training in Fort Bragg, North Carolina not too long ago, and they said that a lot of people were walking up to them saying, "Oh my god, your commander is Miss USA, right?" They were getting special treatment and all these great things, so I'm glad that they've been so supportive up to this point. I look forward to showing all the soldiers, and really everyone that I'm able to inspire… pushing them to chase their dreams and not limit them because of their occupation.
PM: I was extremely impressed, especially so early in your year, that you were able to attend the Army Ball as Miss USA.
DB: Yes. It worked out perfectly. Actually, as soon as I got there, we started doing photos with everyone, and literally, I was doing photos for probably around five and a half hours of the seven hours that I was there. So many people at the Army Ball wanted to take pictures with me. It was just awesome to see all the support. Each soldier would walk up to me and say, "Oh my gosh, you're such an inspiration," and I would say, "You know what? You're an inspiration. You are the reason why I'm standing here." It's great to show a different side of our service members, and it's great to show them our appreciation, so being there was nothing less than an honor.
PM: You're now officially recognized as Miss USA. Define confidently beautiful.
DB: It means the same as what I said onstage. It's earning respect, regardless of what you look like. It's recognizing that it's about what's on the inside. Confidently beautiful, to me, is always being confident in who you are, always understanding that you have to grow, always understanding that no matter what people think about you, you always stand very confident in who you are, and nothing about that is going to change.
PM: At this moment, what does that crown represent to you?
DB: That crown represents change. It represents awareness. It represents women of all backgrounds. It means so much to me to be able to say that I'm Miss USA 2016, and there're so many elements to what I bring to my reign this year. I definitely hope, no matter what happens throughout the year, that the main thing that I push is to chase your dreams, and that crown to me represents a dream come true. It represents a possibility.
PM: Your new home base will be New York. Have you had an opportunity to meet your sister queens?
DB: Yes. I've had the opportunity to meet Pia, and I did meet Katherine, but it was prior to me being crowned Miss USA. I haven't had the opportunity to really chat it up with her after my crowning, but Pia and I have had a couple of long conversations. We flew on the same private jet from Las Vegas to New York after I was crowned. She and I had the chance to really bond. We've only had maybe two or three opportunities to really sit down and chat. She's so relaxed, and I like that because I'm a very relaxed person. She's 26 and I'm 26, so on a maturity level, we definitely easily match up perfectly. She and I had a chance to really talk about the competition, and she was actually able to give me advice on Miss Universe, as well.
PM: Is there anyone that you would like to acknowledge?
DB: There're so many people. My mother is one of my biggest support systems. She has been on board with pageantry since the day I first started, so my mom is someone I want to give a shout out to. My sister, both of my sisters, both of my brothers, my father… and my stepmother has been very, very, very involved. She actually conducted my send-off party for me.
Both of my sororities, Sigma Gamma Sorority Incorporated and the National Society of Pershing Angels Sorority Incorporated. They were a huge support system for me, as well.
My director, Carla Crawford, and the whole Miss DC USA team back in DC… they're all amazing… Natasha and Kevin. My team has been a huge support system. Dylan Murphy with DC Teen USA, I can't wait to see her compete with Miss Teen USA next month. I know she's going to do awesome. She was sending me a lot of words of encouragement while I was at the competition, so a huge thank you to her. And I had an interview coach, a fitness coach, a walking coach, and a whole bunch of coaches, so that's in a nutshell who I'd like to thank.

Q: Strange compile error regarding overload resolution This code fragment:
namespace ns
{
    struct last;

    struct first
    {
        typedef last next;
    };

    template <typename T>
    struct chain
    {
        chain<typename T::next> next;
    };

    template <>
    struct chain<last>
    {
    };
}

using namespace ns;

template <typename T>
void f(const T& x)          // #1
{
    f(x.next);
}

void f(const chain<last>&)  // #2
{
}

int main()
{
    f(chain<first>());
}

gives the following error on Comeau, and a very similiar error on GCC:
"ComeauTest.c", line 27: error: class "ns::chain<ns::last>" has no member "next"
    f(x.next);
        ^
          detected during:
            instantiation of "void f(const T &) [with T=ns::chain<ns::last>]"
                      at line 27
            instantiation of "void f(const T &) [with T=ns::chain<ns::first>]"
                      at line 36

It does compile, however, if either #2 is defined ahead of #1, or if last is declared outside of ns.
Any explanation for this?

A: Case 1)
template <typename T>
void f(const T& x)          // #1
{
    f(x.next); //where's f ??
}

void f(const chain<last>&)  // #2
{
}

You need to make sure that #2 is a template specialization of #1 by specifying template<> above void f(const chain<last>&)  // #2
Without template<> void f(const chain<last>&) would be interpreted as an overload of f. So a call to f(x.next); would be ill formed because of the missing declaration of void f(const chain<last>&).
Adding a declaration of the overload above the function template would make your code compile.
Solutions:
1)
template <typename T>
void f(const T& x)          // #1
{
    f(x.next); //hmm specialized version down there.
}

template<>
void f(const chain<last>&)  // #2
{
}

2)
void f(const chain<last>&); // #0

template <typename T>
void f(const T& x)          // #1
{
    f(x.next); //hmm I can see #0, call #2
}

void f(const chain<last>&)  // #2
{
}

Case 2)
void f(const chain<last>&)  // #2
{
}

template <typename T>
void f(const T& x)          // #1
{
    f(x.next); // found!!
}

A: Given
template <typename T>
void f(const T& x)          // #1
{
    f(x.next);
}

void f(const chain<last>&)  // #2
{
}

... the call to f in the body of the first can not ever call the second f, because the second f is not visible at that point.
So if you get into the first f, then it will recurse down to first error. :-) I'm talking about compile time recursion here, as long as next is of a type that f is not yet instantiated for.
And the call in main, ...
int main()
{
    f(chain<first>());
}

... necessarily calls the first f, since chain<first> does not match the argument type of the second f.
This results in recursive call f( arg of type chain<last> ). And when trying to instantiate f for argument type chain<last> you get an error, since there's no next attribute in chain<last>.
Regarding the code apparently compiling OK when placing the declaration of last in the global namespace, I don't know. Are you sure? Note: I haven't tried any of this with a real compiler.
Cheers & hth.,

'My Mouth Hit the Floor'
DeMar DeRozan and the 5 Best NBA Free-Agent Signings of the Last Decade
The world's most skilled athletes have been in the Olympics for a long time, but now anyone can compete with their own body through virtual reality. This new platform has brought people together from all over the planet and demonstrated to them that we are more alike than different.
"My jaw hit the floor meaning" is a phrase that means that someone was shocked or surprised by something. The phrase originates from the music video for "My Mouth Hit the Floor" by Drake.
After suddenly departing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' bench during their Week 17 game against the New York Jets, Antonio Brown dominated headlines all week. It was one of the strangest events in recent NFL history. Many members in the NFL community reacted quickly to the tragedy, including Hall of Fame defensive lineman Warren Sapp, who recently spoke out about the startling occurrences.
Warren Sapp was taken aback when Antonio Brown left the game in the middle.
While working for NFL Network, Hall of Fame defensive lineman Warren Sapp responds | Gary W. Green/Orlando Sentinel/Tribune News Service via Getty Images ; Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Antonio Brown in action against the Philadelphia Eagles | Mitchell Leff/Getty Images
Warren Sapp played in the NFL for 13 years, nine of them with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He's still connected to the group, and he's not afraid to confess he's pulling for them.
The four-time All-Pro visited The Rich Eisen Show recently to discuss all that happened on the Bucs' sideline with Antonio Brown.
"My mouth was on the floor," Sapp said. "I punched someone on the squad, and I received the best answer I've ever gotten: 'I suppose we got an extra seat on the way home,'" says the author.
The Hall of Famer didn't divulge his source, but he was clearly amused by the answer, bursting out laughing.
Sapp responded, "That's the word I received." "All right, here we go. Let's go footballing. With two or three minutes remaining in the third quarter, we're down 14 points. I mean, he seemed to be in good shape sprinting away that day."
Sapp avoided speculating too much, but AB's abrupt midgame departure left him speechless.
The Buccaneers and AB are at odds.
Antonio Brown has been released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The tale, though, seems to be far from ended.
Since the events of the victory at MetLife Stadium, speculation has swirled about what caused Brown to chuck his shoulder pads and leave the field bare.
As the days pass, AB has enlisted the help of his lawyer, and his team has proceeded to disseminate additional details about his version of the tale.
Brown was dealing with an ankle issue during the week leading up to the Jets game, which forced him to miss practice. He looked to be in good enough shape to go. His side, on the other hand, believes that head coach Bruce Arians attempted to push AB to play with an injured ankle against his will.
Arians spoke to the media after the game and rejected Brown's claim that he complained about his ailment. Instead, the coach said that the quarrel was caused by a lack of targets.
Brown has continued to be active on social media and has issued a series of text messages since then. Despite the fact that he is no longer with the Buccaneers, this scenario might be a distraction as the club prepares for the NFL playoffs.
How will the Buccaneers compensate for Brown's loss?
Throughout the 2021 NFL season, Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have faced difficulty, but the loss of Antonio Brown might be expensive.
Going into the last week of the regular season, the Buccaneers are without a number of crucial players.
Wide receiver in the Pro Bowl In the Week 15 defeat to the New Orleans Saints, Chris Godwin sustained a season-ending knee injury. Leonard Fournette, a running back, and Lavonte David, a linebacker, are both on injured reserve. Jason Pierre-Paul and Shaquil Barrett, both pass rushers, have missed time lately, while Richard Sherman has an Achilles ailment.
Tampa Bay's predicament is exacerbated by Brown's sad circumstance. Due to the loss of two of the team's best receivers, Bruce Arians and the Cardinals will have to depend on unknown weapons in the playoffs.
Mike Evans is back in action, but opposing teams are likely to focus on him and attempt to defeat the rest of the receivers. Given his excellent bond with Brady, Rob Gronkowski could play a key role down the stretch.
Tyler Johnson, Scotty Miller, Breshad Perriman, and Cyril Grayson should all receive more playing time in the meantime. Who will step up for the Buccaneers offense will be exciting to see.
You can't deny or dispute Tom Brady's ability to win important games. Still, it would be a mistake to minimize Antonio Brown's absence.

Shawne Merriman, a former All-Pro linebacker, believes Antonio Brown's on-field meltdown will cost him his job.

Windjammers 2 Review: Extreme Frisbee Throwdown Part Deux


by Christopher Joyce NPR April 16, 2019 5:27 a.m.
Surprisingly high amounts of microplastic are raining down on a remote and seemingly pristine part of France's Pyrenees mountains, according to scientists who say such particles could potentially be floating everywhere.
And apparently, it isn't local. Only a few small villages lie within 60 miles of the study site.
Scientists know how dust gets blown — say, from the Sahara across the Atlantic – but they "know basically nothing about how [microplastics] move," says Deonie Allen of the French institution EcoLab, who worked with Steve Allen on the research and is married to him.
"We don't have this sort of material in nature," Deonie Allen says, noting that microplastics come in different shapes and are of different densities, which might affect how long they remain wind-borne. The researchers suspect that rain or snow carries some particles down to the ground, but they don't need precipitation to fall to earth.
