ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: Erin, thanks very much.
Good evening, everyone. We have breaking news tonight. Exclusive new details that you will only see on this program about the attack in Libya that killed four Americans, including ambassador Christopher Stevens and two former Navy Seals, Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. They died heroes, we have known that. But until tonight, we had no idea of just how far beyond the call of duty these two men went. And again, you will be learning this right now for the very first time only on "360."
We got new reporting as well on why the assault on the night of September 11th was so deadly to ambassador Stevens and computer technician Sean Smith even though they were holed up inside of what was supposed to be a fortified part of the consulate compound. The attackers we have now learned doused the building's exterior with diesel fuel, killing Smith and Stevens with dense toxic smoke. And there's yet more we're learning about the attack tonight as well as other late developments out of Benghazi. A large pro-democracy march on the headquarters of an extremist Islamic group in Benghazi.
First though, the breaking news about how the two former Seals perished and how far they went to save other American lives.
Joining us now to flesh out her exclusive reporting, CNN contributor and former homeland security advisor, Fran Townsend. Fran currently serves on the CIA external advisory committee and recently visited Libya with her employer, McAndrews & Forbes. Also with us, CNN's Arwa Damon, who has been breaking news all week for us from Benghazi.
So Fran, what have we learned about these two Navy Seals? Initially a former Seals, it was thought they were there to protect the ambassador. That turns out not the case.
FRAN TOWNSEND, CNN INTERNATIONAL SECURITY CONTRIBUTOR: That's not the case, Anderson. They are part of this protective security contractor force. These two contractors -- the contractors generally are recruited from elite special forces because of their training and experience. In the case of Glen Doherty, he had served in Iraq and Afghanistan. These were both men who understood very well the dangers, the trouble and how to respond to it appropriately, but they were not -- they were there but not with the ambassador's security detail. They coordinated and de-conflicted with the ambassador's detail. They also coordinated with Libyans. Their presence was not a secret. But they were there, frankly, at the annex with others as part of a much larger team to provide security.
COOPER: And there were two structures, this annex that we're learning about, it seems like there was an ambush there. I mean, the second attack on the annex seemed to have been an ambush.
TOWNSEND: You know, it's not really clear what the parameters of that were. So what happens is, you have to appreciate, you talked about Glen and Tyrone being heroes. They are at the annex, the annex is secure, the perimeter is secure, they're not taking any fire. That's the area of their primary responsibility. They get a phone call that their colleagues over at the consulate are taking fire, that it's chaotic and they need help. They leave the security of their -- the annex compound and they run in the direction of the firefight.
What they do there is they round up all of the consulate staff. That includes Americans, foreign service nationals, it includes everybody working at the consulate. It also included regrettably at that time the body of Sean Smith. They can't find the ambassador but they must he evacuate because they can no longer help defend the consulate and they take all these people to the much smaller annex where they secure them and they are there trying, figuring they are not taking fire there.
It's not clear how the assault begins, what causes it, whether or not they were set up and ambushed or followed there. The sources I have been talking to, it is not -- hopefully that comes out in if investigation.
COOPER: And Arwa, you say that particular attack, the one on the second site, involved even heavy artillery.
ARWA DAMON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: That's what we are hearing on the ground here, Anderson. The attack that took place, the second attack was a much more intense attack than what was initially seen at the consulate, although much shorter in duration. Some of the military officials we're talking to here were saying that they were using rocket propelled grenades. One was even saying that they were using mortar fire and that the rounds impacted pretty much immediately and for anyone who knows how mortar calibration works.
It's pretty rare that you would be able to hit your target the first time you do try to attempt to hit it with a mortar. But we are hearing here that the second attack most certainly was more intense and involved more fire power than the first time around and that is why Libyan government officials are saying that they believe that this was a pre-planned strike. Perhaps not necessarily to be timed with September 11th, but that most certainly the extremists that carried out this assault had planned it, perhaps they shelved the plans and then had seen a target of opportunity to strike, and strike they did as we now know.
COOPER: And Arwa, you were talking about the annex. Back to the main compound where the first fighting or gunfire took place, U.S. officials have insisted that the attackers hijacked a protest going on over the anti-Muslim movie. But Libyan witnesses are telling you a very different story. The "New York times" reported today that the front of the compound was completely quiet before the initial attack, no protests. What are you hearing?
DAMON: That's what we heard days ago, Anderson, from a number of witnesses, including one of the guards who was at the main gate to the compound at one of those main gates. He said that the situation was calm, it was quiet, and suddenly he heard voices growing increasingly louder, chanting "God is great" and then he says the attack began simultaneously from three different directions.
Another eyewitness on the scene that we spoke to as well, the gardener, also confirming that report. And a number of other individuals we have been talking to, saying around 9:30, heavily armed men appeared around the compound and that shortly thereafter at around 10:00, the assault itself began, Anderson.
COOPER: And Fran, we have been reporting about differ reports on security at the main compound. Last night we reported that security was actually beefed up there. You're hearing new information as well.
TOWNSEND: That's right. Consistent with the "New York Times" story, Anderson, there were five armed Americans and four armed Libyans. That was the beefed-up presence. You can question whether or not given what the history in that area had been, was that enough, and remember, that does not include the armed personnel, security, professional security personnel at the annex so you would also have had them to fall back on which of course they did have to do.
COOPER: You also have new reporting on diesel fuel, which was apparently poured around the compound where the ambassador was and Mr. Smith was.
TOWNSEND: That's right. Look, any sort of fuel would have caused, you know, accelerated the fire. Diesel was particularly unfortunate -- an unfortunate accelerant because of course what happens there, there's this acrid, thick, very black smoke and we understand that's how they lost sight of the ambassador, they couldn't find him, and probably contributed to the fact that he and Sean smith died of asphyxiation.
COOPER: Rise up before around the compound. That's probably an overstatement. We don't know -- around the consulate, around the structure that the ambassador was in.
COOPER: Arwa, during protests there in Benghazi today, tens of thousands in particular on the streets protesting against the extremist militia some say was involved in the attacks on the compound. Protesters actually stormed the group's headquarters later in the day. What can you tell us about this and what's happening?
DAMON: Well, earlier in the day we had this massive pro- democracy demonstration that did in fact take place and following that at around 10:00 at night, hundreds of these individuals went to the headquarters of a known militant extremist group here. And remember, the Libyan government says that it has detained some individuals from that organization in association with this attack. It was in fact the attack on the consulate that really was the catalyst for these demonstrations but then the catalyst for these individuals to go out and try to retake the compound, and they were saying retake the city from the hands of the extremists.
And at the compound itself, was really quite the sense of euphoria, people saying that they were the ones that began this revolution in Benghazi, that they were going to be the ones who were going to take their city back. They were actually apologizing to America, saying that this is the real Libya. The Libyans who are going out trying to regain control of their own cities, trying to implement the democracy that they fought so hard for.
But then things took a very sinister turn because the second location that they struck, in fact, ended up being the headquarters of a battalion that has been legitimized by the government. The government took to the air waves trying to convince these individuals to back off that and other various compounds saying that it was Gadhafi loyalists trying to capitalize on the euphoria of the crowd to try to move them towards these other units that were in fact under the control of the government, that were in fact loyal to the government in and of itself.
We were at one of these locations, some pretty intense gunfire. We are hearing that over a dozen people were wounded and it just goes to underscore how chaotic and how volatile the situation here really is. And of course, how easily manipulated.
COOPER: Arwa Damon in Benghazi, be careful. Fran, thank you very much.
On Wednesday of this week, we reported that a source familiar with ambassador Stevens' thinking said in the months before his death, ambassador Stevens talked about being worried about what he called the never-ending security threats in Benghazi.
We also reported that the ambassador specifically mentioned the rise in Islamic extremism, the growing Al Qaeda presence in Libya and said he was on an Al Qaeda hit list. The information for that report like all of CNN's reporting was carefully vetted. Some of that information was found in a personal journal of ambassador Stevens in his handwriting.
We came upon the journal through our reporting and notified the family. At their request, we returned that journal to them. We reported what we found newsworthy in the ambassador's writings. A reporter followed up on what we found newsworthy in the ambassador's writings.
Let us know what you think. We're on facebook. You can follow me on twitter @andersonooper. I'm tweeting tonight.
Up next, the attack's political fallout here at home. Has President Obama's handling of it given Mitt Romney an opening? Have governor Romney's statements hurt his caused. Fareed Zakaria, Jessica Yellin and Jim Acosta join us.
COOPER: Welcome back. More on Libya now as our breaking news was unfolding today. New details about the killings in Benghazi and the rioting and chaos that followed a pro-democracy march today in Benghazi. A number of the protesters are burning cars, taking over the headquarters of an extremist militia group that the government suspects of involvement in last week's assault. It began peacefully with marchers outnumbering a much smaller crowd of religious radicals. Many carried pro-America signs including some demanding justice for ambassador Christopher Stevens.
Back home, pursuing that notion has neither been simple, nor easy, nor untouched by election year politics. It began early on with Mitt Romney's late night claim that the administration's first response was to sympathize with the attackers. That was not the case.
But the White House's subsequent line downplaying terrorism as a factor, to many that strained credibility. Late this week the administration backed down from that position while dismissing the notion that they're backing down.
VICTORIA NULAND, STATE DEPARTMENT SPOKESWOMAN: It's as everybody who has spoken to any of these details has said starting with what we said here, what everybody along the way has said. The information we have given to date is based on initial assessments. We have given you all kinds of caveats, including from here, that the investigation was going to have to tell us the complete and final story.
COOPER: That investigation is ongoing. Yesterday behind closed doors, senior defense intelligence and law enforcement officials briefed members of Congress. Today, though, and for the next month and a half this tragedy is being and will be hashed out as well in the public eye, especially out on the campaign trail.
Joining me now is Fareed Zakaria, hot of CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS." He's got Bill Clinton on his program this week. Also Jim Acosta, traveling with the Romney campaign and Jessica Yellin at the White House.
Jessica, let's start with you at the White House. They have been very cautious in dealing with this. Really only one brief statement from the president. It took about a week and a half for them to call the incident in Benghazi a terrorist act. Is there any indication we are going to be hearing more directly from the president about this any time soon?
JESSICA YELLIN, CNN CHIEF WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Yes, Anderson. I would expect that we will hear from the president on this when he addresses the U.N. general assembly next week, both about the specifics of the attack in Libya and the unrest in the Middle East more broadly.
They don't have a lot to gain to be just crassly political about it. From talking to -- talking too much about it until they have more facts. Because he is going to the U.N. next week, he will have the big world stage so it's a natural opportunity for him to address it. Look for it there.
COOPER: Well I mean, Jessica, is there a caution on talking about it out of not wanting to, you know, is it an understandable desire to gather intelligence, figure out exactly what happened, or is it politics?
YELLIN: Look, it's both. They have had problems in the past when they have jumped too quickly. Remember after Osama bin Laden's raid and they came out with a series of facts and that was a positive scenario for them and the facts in that case weren't exactly right so they've learned get the facts straight before you come out publicly.
On the politics of it, Anderson, they don't really have anything to gain. Mitt Romney has handed them so many openings on this one, he's botched his response on Libya. There's no political upside for the president to weigh in. He just needs to be presidential on this.
COOPER: Fareed, we did see some dip in poll numbers on foreign policy in the wake of this. Do you think, do these attacks hurt the president in terms of foreign policy?
FAREED ZAKARIA, CNN HOST, FAREED ZAKARIA GPS: I don't think so, but I think the president is making a mistake if he's entirely silent. As Jessica says, the obvious place would be the U.N. general assembly.
Look, most Americans, much of the world is trying to figure out what does all this mean, and what does it mean for our presence in Afghanistan, what does it mean for outreach to the Muslim world.
The president has an extraordinary opportunity to be as Bill Clinton was during the Democratic National Convention, an explainer, kind of explainer in chief. I think it helps him politically because most crises, Jimmy Carter is the exception, most crises make a president look presidential. He gets the stage, he gets to speak in serious terms, he has all the gravitas. The other guys out there taking pot shots but he is on the campaign trail and the president is the president.
COOPER: Jim, we also have Romney seemed to actually lose ground on the foreign policy issue in the wake of the incident. Is there any sense in the campaign that this is ground the governor has to try to make up in the foreign policy sphere, even though his focus has been on the economy?
JIM ACOSTA, CNN NATIONAL POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, I had a chance to talk to a senior Romney advisor about this. And he said about the Benghazi attack and the administration's response to it. But they would like to see what he called more clarity from the administration when it comes to what exactly happened, what led up to the deaths of those American diplomats in Libya. But I think the campaign also acknowledges, Anderson, that they have had a rough couple of weeks, starting with that initial statement on what happened in Libya and Egypt. Mitt Romney clearly spoke before all of the facts came in, and then as you saw what happened this week with his hidden camera video leaked to "Mother Jones," they were put on the defensive over economic issues.
COOPER: Jessica, we did see ambassador Susan Rice at the U.N. saying that -- I mean, indicating, not really talking about this in terms of being a terrorist attack. It was days later the terrorist attack part of this was really discussed.
Is there concern in the Obama campaign this controversy might be providing Republicans some fodder to put a chink in the president's foreign policy armor?
YELLIN: Well, not yet. I mean, not given Romney's response so far, which was not handled well, Anderson. But the larger potential here is that if there is another attack on Americans in another country or in Libya, if this grows in some way, that's the real danger for the president. Because his strength in foreign policy is really about the perception that he is a decisive and clear leader, and that's what voters, it's perceived that voters are responding to. If world events seem to be spinning out of his control, then that leadership quality could erode for him. But we're not at that stage yet and so the campaign is not reflecting any kind of anxiety on that front at this moment.
COOPER: It is interesting, Fareed, that a loss for the president in the foreign policy sphere does not necessarily translate to a victory for the Romney campaign in the foreign policy realm because of the way they've handled all this stuff.
ZAKARIA: But the crucial part is what you said last. Because of the way they've handled it. Generally speaking, a loss for the president does translate into a gain. Think of again Jimmy Carter. Ronald Reagan was seen as wildly inexperienced and kind of somewhat crazy on foreign policy, somewhat radical. Once Carter started having trouble, the Iran hostage crisis, the soviet invasion of Afghanistan, all Reagan had to show was that he was stable, that he was, you know, he wasn't going to blow up the world, and he benefited.
COOPER: I should also point out, Reagan did not politicize that event. He basically put out a statement as I recall, you know, saying we stand behind -- we're all one.
ZAKARIA: Exactly. He could see that bad news was hurting the president. He didn't need to do very much to pile on. I think that in this case, because Romney has been inept, it hasn't really translated much. I agree with Jessica, if something else were to happen, it might change that, but Obama again, if he gets out ahead of it, because really, these have not been events where people feel as though the United States is under attack, under siege. There is a feeling that something is spinning out of control in the Middle East and we need to understand it.
COOPER: Fareed, thank you. Jim Acosta, Jessica Yellin.
Be sure to tune in Sunday night, 8:00 and 11:00. as Fareed has a really fascinating special. Global lessons, putting America to work right her on CNN.
It has been a crucial week for Mitt Romney in the wake of his 47 percent comments. Will the release of his 2011 tax returns help change the conversation.. Has it already? Will it put any question about his finances to rest? James Carville, Mary Matalin spare ahead.
COOPER: What happened aboard Ann Romney's jet and how the crew handled it, ahead in the program.
COOPER: Welcome back. We're all politics now. Mitt Romney's campaign released his 2011 tax returns today. You probably heard that. Showing he made $13.7 million last year in mostly investment income, and paid an effective tax rate of 14.1 percent. Now, the campaign also released a letter from the accounting firm price Waterhouse coopers saying the Romneys paid taxes every year from 1990 to 2009 at an effective tax rate of at least 13.6 percent each year. That information obviously contradicts what Senate majority leader Harry Reid has been claiming about Romney for more than a month now.
SEN. HARRY REID (D-NY), MAJORITY LEADER: The word's out that he hasn't paid any taxes for ten years. Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn't.
COOPER: Oh, when Harry Reid said the word is out, the thing is that Reid himself was the one who put the word out. He's the one who made the accusation in the first place. Turned out he didn't have any proof of his own. At least he hasn't offered any. He said a source was an investor of Bain Capital, Romney's investment firm, an unnamed source.
Now, you might think that tonight in the face of the letter from Romney's accounting firm, senator Reid might retract his earlier claim. Instead he released this statement. Quote, "the information released today reveals that Mitt Romney manipulated one of two years of tax returns he has seen fit to show the American people and then only to conform with his public statements. That raises the question what else in those returns has Romney manipulated."
Reid is talking about the fact that the Romneys actually paid more taxes than required in 2011. The Romneys' didn't claim all their charitable deductions since 2011 because they wanted to make sure their tax rate didn't fall below 13 percent, the minimum rate that Romney has said he paid over the last decade. You can decide for yourself about the amounts of manipulation.
Joining me is CNN political contributors Mary Matalin and James Carville.
So James, is that manipulation?
JAMES CARVILLE, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: Look, this is the best day Romney's had all month. Of course it's manipulation and of course he can file after the election and get the refund which is totally legal and he has always said that he paid the minimal amount of taxes so all of a sudden, the milk of human kindness comes from Mitt Romney and he's going to give the federal government money that he doesn't owe. I don't know of any other explanation. Maybe somebody can come up with one.
COOPER: I think Mary might be able to. Mary?
MATALIN: I just want to get this straight. So now what the complaint from my liberal friends is that Romney gave 30 percent of his income last year to charity and over the course of the many, many years that he's paid 100 percent of his taxes in direct contradiction of Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader calling him a felon and a scofflaw and a tax cheat, he's paid 100 percent of his rate, he's been 20 percent of his income over those 20 years to charity, and there's something wrong with that. If they said if he could prove that he could walk on water, they would complain because he couldn't swim.
CARVILLE: Again, I think the point you were making was, is that he didn't take charitable deductions because he said his tax rate was 13 percent and that would have driven it below it and he can do it after. Like I say, this guy has done 13 events in 20 days. He doesn't, you know, he thinks he's above releasing his tax returns like everybody else so this stops the story about the 47 percent of all of those things he's done. So all in all for him, even though the story is bad, it's probably the best story he's gotten all month.
COOPER: So, you think they released it today in order to try to change the narrative?
COOPER: It is a Friday afternoon, though, which is sort of when you do the document dump.
MATALIN: But it was done today, they asked for the extension. He price Waterhouse Cooper, whatever they are, unless you want -- if Harry Reid wants to call them liars, scofflaws, felons and tax cheats, why doesn't he malign and libel everyone in the country.
I think this is a good story. I don't think it's a data dump. I think it's done, it's exactly what he said, it's more generous than anyone - that anybody we know and anyone could have expected. And the real story where people are really concerned about is the Middle East and beyond, is completely melting down and after a week of denying it, this president finally fessed-up that it was a terrorist attack.
We've had a serious terrorist attack and we're less secure than we were. That's what presidential campaigns are going to be about, not Mitt Romney's 20 years of generous charitable giving and complete 100 percent tax completions.
CARVILLE: OK. The fact remains that he did that, he said it was 13. The fact when he ran for governor of Massachusetts said he filed in Massachusetts return and then later had to fess up that he really didn't. I don't believe anything Mitt Romney says on his taxes, to be honest with you.
MATALIN: Are you calling him a liar?
CARVILLE: I don't believe -- he did before when he was filing in Massachusetts, told people he filed in Massachusetts and didn't. He said he paid 13 percent in taxes.
He had to manipulate his tax return to not take charitable deduction to do that. That's his history. I don't think on his taxes he's been very forthcoming. He will only give us two years of them.
COOPER: Mary, critics of Romney will say look, we know, you know, they've released the information that he's given years of money to charities, but not what he's actually paid in taxes over the years. Why is it OK to give, you know, that information on charities and yet not -- why wouldn't he just give out his taxes?
MATALIN: He's released decades of financial disclosure, everything that the law requires. He's paid all his taxes, 100 percent and more than the law requires, which actually I do think is kind of weird.
He's given millions and millions, scores of millions of dollars to charity. We're going to try to make this into a negative? I just don't see how this turns into a negative story unless we're completely detached from reality.
And the reality that is the everyday life of voters who are not voting on Romney's tax returns which are now complete and for them to judge for themselves how charitable and legal he is, or do they want to care about their own taxes which will be going up if this president's re-elected.
COOPER: James, Mary raises a good point. You've seen Harry Reid's response. He says these returns raise more questions about Mitt Romney's finances, but the fact is, the evidence out there suggests the senator was wrong, that Reid was wrong when he claimed that Romney had paid no taxes for 10 years. There's no evidence of that.
CARVILLE: Well, look, he said I'm sure we're going to get this guy's name before it's over, the offshore Cayman Islands, Swiss bank account deal that Romney was in, and that he didn't pay any taxes. That's what he was basing it on.
We only see two years of tax returns, by the way. That's all we see. He's paying 12 percent of the federal tax where a hotel may had paid 15 percent in federal taxes.
So he won't be -- he won't tell us what his tax returns are prior to this. He has a history of putting out false information about tax returns when he ran for governor of Massachusetts.
So I think there are a lot of doubts that are raised here but after you call 47 percent of the people in the United States slackers, there's not much more you can do to sort of hurt yourself, to be honest with you.
MATALIN: It's not what he said. And now they want to libel an iconic American accounting firm, Price Waterhouse Cooper, been around forever. They're just going to libel everybody in their way.
So let's take down all of our big institutions, everything that's iconic in this country in pursuit of Obama's re-election. You sound insane.
COOPER: What is it like living with you two?
MATALIN: Friday night, if we weren't with you, we would probably be having a good stiff drink, which we're about to go do right now.
COOPER: I'll let you go do that. Mary, thank you. James Carville, thank you.
COOPER: I would like to join them.
As we said, it's been a pretty rough week for the Romney campaign and the shots are not just coming from Democrats. In a blog post Tuesday, "Wall Street Journal" columnist Peggy Noonan wrote it's time to admit the Romney campaign is an incompetent one, not big, not brave, not thoughtfully tackling great issues and intervention is in order.
Mitt, this isn't working. Today, she doubled down writing the Romney campaign has to get turned around. This week, I called it incompetent but only because I was being polite. I really meant rolling calamity. Noonan is not alone.
Other high profile Republicans are also calling for a campaign reboot. In the face of all this, not so friendly fire, Ann Romney is now returning fire. Here's Randi Kaye.
RANDI KAYE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Ann Romney has a message for what she calls the chattering class Republicans criticizing her husband.
ANN ROMNEY, WIFE OF MITT ROMNEY: Stop it. This is hard. You want to try it, get in the ring. This is hard. You know, it's an important thing that we're doing right now and it's an important election.
And it is time for all Americans to realize how significant this election is and how lucky we are to have someone with Mitt's qualifications and experience and know-how to be able to have the opportunity to run this country.
KAYE: In another interview, she defended her husband over the now famous 47 percent tape.
ROMNEY: You know, I know the guy. I know him really well. I know he cares and that's why we're running. So it's unfortunate when something gets misinterpreted like this or is taken out of context.
It's nonsense. I don't let it sink in. You hear it and then you just let it go right by. And you're used to it, honestly at this point, I'm not surprised by anything.
KAYE (on camera): To those who know her, Mrs. Romney's attitude is nothing new. It has always been Ann to the rescue. In the Romney household, she is often called the trusted advisor and the Mitt stabilizer. But first and foremost, she is the great protector of all things Romney.
(voice-over): Ron Scott, who has known Mitt Romney since 1985 and wrote a book about him, says Ann is no pushover.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The last person on earth you would want to cross would be Ann Romney. If you go after one of her kids or after her husband, she's going to be there.
KAYE: She hoped to help America embrace her husband.
ROMNEY: I know this good and decent man for what he is. He's warm and loving and patient. He has tried to live his life with a set of values centered on family, faith and love of one's fellow man. From the time we were first married, I've seen him spend countless hours helping others. KAYE: Yet no matter how much she builds him up, Team Romney can't seem to catch a break. Listen to what she told Neil Cavuto on Fox.
ROMNEY: As you know we always feel like we're getting picked on more than anyone else. It's just what happens.
NEIL CAVUTO, FOX BUSINESS: You think the media's fair to you?
ROMNEY: That is going to get me in trouble if I answer that honestly.
KAYE: With the campaign calendar ticking down, the race may very well come down to the three presidential debates. Ann Romney says she knows the stakes. As she always has, trusts her husband will get the job done. Once again, Ann Romney will be in her husband's corner.
ROMNEY: I feel like my best advice is just to bring peace and calm to him and just trust in him and say I know you can do it.
KAYE: Randi Kaye, CNN, Atlanta.
COOPER: As we mentioned earlier, Ann Romney had a bit of an airborne scare today. We just got an air traffic control audio from the incident. That's ahead.
Also, police in Colorado find an arrest -- they arrest an alleged bank robber, but end up stopping 19 cars in the process, holding teenagers at gun point, putting a lot of innocent people in handcuffs. Did they go too far? That's the question tonight in "Crime and Punishment" next.
COOPER: Guns pointed at mothers, young children and teenagers as police search for a bank robbery suspect. They say they got their man, but could he get away with it because police went too far in the manhunt? "Crime and Punishment" next.
COOPER: "Crime and Punishment" tonight. A bank robbery case in Colorado is raising serious questions about how far police can go to catch the bad guy.
Now in the process of stopping traffic to find and arrest an alleged bank robber, police also held innocent civilians at gun point. Now the whole case against the alleged robber could be in jeopardy because of it. Ted Rowlands reports.
TED ROWLANDS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Marci Strandberg stopped at a light on her way home from shopping near Denver, Colorado. Next thing she knew, police had her at gun point.
MARCI STRANDBERG, CAUGHT IN POLICE BLOCKADE: I said I have kids in my car, and that rifle's pointed right at me.
ROWLANDS: Nineteen cars were held at this intersection that Saturday afternoon. Everyone was ordered out of their cars at gun point including children. The boy in the green shirt is 16-year-old Michael Hance.
MICHAEL HANCE, 16-YEAR-OLD: They had rifles, guns and everything pointed at me with shields and a canine dog.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: A robbery just occurred with a gun at Wells Fargo.
ROWLANDS: Police were looking for this bank robber seen here wearing a beekeeper's mask and armed with an air horn and loaded gun. He had just made off with $25,000 from a Wells Fargo a few miles away.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Last seen wearing a beehive mask.
ROWLANDS (on camera): Police thought the bank robber was at this intersection because there was a GPS tracking device hidden in with the money. The problem is, they had no idea what car he could be in and because of that beekeeper's mask. They didn't even know what he looks like.
(voice-over): So everyone was treated as an armed and dangerous suspect.
STRANDBERG: We all had to have our hands showing and our arms out the window and we had to keep our arms like this.
ROWLANDS: One by one, police approached each car with guns and shields, nearly everyone was handcuffed. Marci's 4-year-old daughter who you can see she's carrying was asleep for most of the ordeal. Her 8-year-old son, however, was awake.
STRANDBERG: My son was crying and I kept telling him to keep his head down between his legs because I didn't know if open fire was going to happen.
ROWLANDS: That's Crystal Deguzman in handcuffs moments after she watched police take her son, 16-year-old, Michael, away at gun point.
CRYSTAL DEGUZMAN, CAUGHT IN POLICE BLOCKADE: I think any mom would be upset. Not knowing what's going to happen to your kid.
ROWLANDS: Police eventually searched this white expedition. Inside, they found two loaded guns, the money and the beekeeper's mask.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They have a suspect in custody.
ROWLANDS: The 45-year-old Christian Pache, a school teacher with no criminal record, was arrested and charged with armed robbery. He's pled not guilty.
Was this a case of good police work, or did they go too far? Federal law gives police some leeway to detain citizens for a reasonable period of time as part of a criminal investigation.
DAVID LANE, CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY: A little bit of inconvenience, you know, getting cuffed for a minute to see if you're armed, getting detained very briefly to see if there's some probable cause to believe you've done something. You do have to put up with that, but two hours at rifle point, I think that's a little excessive.
CHIEF DAN OATES, AURORA POLICE DEPARTMENT: No question we inconvenienced citizens. We feel badly about that. We apologize to them, but we've made a tough choice here and we arrested a very dangerous armed bank robber.
ROWLANDS: But what police did may have put the entire case in jeopardy. The accused robber's attorney says there was no probable cause to search the vehicle, and that police violated his client's rights by pressuring him to agree to a search after he initially refused.
If a judge agrees, all of the evidence, the guns, the money, the beekeeper's mask, could be thrown out because of the way it was collected, and as crazy as that sounds, some legal experts say they have an argument.
Tim Olson, who was among those handcuffed at the intersection, says that would send a message to police.
TIM OLSON, CAUGHT IN POLICE BLOCKADE: If the bank robber gets away with it, that says you didn't do your job properly.
ROWLANDS: The judge's ruling in the case should indicate whether police were doing their job or if they crossed the line. Ted Rowlands, CNN, Aurora, Colorado.
Some tense moments also in Pittsburgh today, a former U.S. soldier allegedly took a man hostage for several hours. Details on that ahead.
COOPER: A lawsuit over a 4-year-old's playhouse is just ahead on the "Ridiculist." But first, Isha is here with the "360 Bulletin" -- Isha.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We have an electrical issue here and we are going to declare an emergency. We will probably need assistance here. We got smoke in the cabin. We're going to see the severity of it. We'll let you know. We're going to request fire trucks, please.
SESAY: As you heard, the cabin filled with smoke during the flight. No one was injured.
Across Syria today, at least 117 people were killed, according to opposition activists. They claimed 15 people died in Aleppo province and they say 17 others were stabbed to death by government troops in a Damascus suburb.
Police say an armed man who took a hostage inside a downtown Pittsburgh office building today surrendered peacefully. The suspect talked to family members as well as negotiators during the standoff. The hostage was not harmed.
A "360" follow, three Saginaw, Michigan police officers punished in their role for the shooting and killing of a homeless man, an incident caught on tape. One officer was demoted. A police official didn't reveal how the other two were disciplined after a ten-week investigation. Prosecutors said they would not pursue criminal charges in the case.
Anderson, the space shuttle "Endeavour" made its final flight today over California atop a modified Boeing 747 jet. The retired "Endeavour" will go on display at the California Science Center in L.A.
SESAY: Very cool. But I have to say, so you weren't here yesterday.
SESAY: Did you hear about this?
COOPER: I did hear a little bit about it.
SESAY: Turned up on the show, had some pretty strong words for you with your whole "Ridiculist" thing. I know you're not just going to take it. He even renamed the "Ridiculist."
COOPER: Yes, what did he call it?
SESAY: The re-blitzulist. COOPER: It doesn't have the same flowing off the tongue. He was annoyed about me saying that he had copied my rad style with the glasses?
SESAY: In the interest of full disclosure, I feel I have to tell you that I did say to him on the air that he looked kind of hot in his glasses.
COOPER: You've called me a geek, you've said I, you know, you made all sorts of disparaging remarks about me in our many years together and yet he's here for one night, and he's hot?
SESAY: Don't be like that.
SESAY: We've got a special thing, you know.
COOPER: We used to. We used to have a special thing.
SESAY: You look kind of hot with your glasses, too.
COOPER: Please. I don't want your sloppy seconds. I want to clean up for Blitzer over here.
SESAY: Fine. Be like that.
COOPER: Time now for the shot, a close encounter with a cheetah in Kenya. The big cat apparently wanted a closer look at a jeep. The tourists inside, she took her time checking it out, hanging out for several minutes, even lying down at one point just inches from the tourist sitting in the jeep. Take a look at this.
SESAY: That is some scary stuff.
SESAY: Constantly calling out Neil.
COOPER: He's intrepid. He gets right in there and the tiger was not happy about it.
SESAY: Not as hot as you, though.
COOPER: Have a good weekend.
Coming up, a homeowners association, got to see this "Ridiculist," that's next. We'll be right back.
COOPER: Time now for the "Ridiculist." Tonight, we are issuing a nationwide plea for a return to sanity, end to the madness once and for all. Now we all know that people like to put stuff in their yards, your garden gnomes, flags emblazoned with professional sports logos, Homer Simpson dressed as Santa Claus, what have you.
But there has to be a limit. When someone puts something undeniably offensive in their backyard there has to be repercussions. That's why I'm proud to report that in Georgia, one very brave and heroic homeowners association has finally, finally taken a stand and filed a lawsuit over this pink playhouse.
I mean, would you just take a look at that thing? Hideous eyesore, party of one, your table is ready. Forget the fact that you can't even see it from the front of the house, you have to peek around the house and into the backyard.
The homeowners association knows it is there and they know it's pink. The first rule of homeowners association, don't talk about homeowners association. The second rule, no unapproved colors on free-standing backyard structures.
That isn't even taking into account the activity that occurs within said structure. Yes, take a look.
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Put it in the oven.
COOPER: Yes. That would be 4-year-old, Aubrey. She's probably having a tea party, probably without a permit. Of course, she isn't pulling this off all on her own. No, there's her accomplice slash grandmother, who built the play house as a Christmas present.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I thought this is ridiculous. There's too much crime and everything else. These lawyers need to be worrying about other things that are way more important than whether or not my granddaughter has a pink play house or not.
COOPER: I want to apologize for using this. I have never done that before. There has been some public outcry about this, but the president of the homeowners association is standing firm. Take it away.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Part of approval is the color. We didn't disapprove the play house. We've disapproved the color.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You think the color pink is worth this whole legal mess?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Obviously it is. Obviously, I had neighbors that complained about it.
COOPER: OK, you really need to get other things going on in your life. Totally reasonable, though, sounds like the lawsuit would go away if they just painted the play house and why not?
What could possibly be more thrilling for a little girl than to suddenly find the pink play house that she loves magically transformed into a really fun shade of, I don't know, dirt brown?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You like it pink?
UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: It's my favorite color.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Would you want your play house brown?
COOPER: I rest my case. The grandmother has two weeks to respond to the lawsuit and it sounds like she is in it for the long haul.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I'm going to fight it until the bitter end. I will not paint that dollhouse. I will move first.
COOPER: I think it was John Mellencamp who said it best, isn't that America, home of the free little pink houses for you and me, except for you little Aubrey, sorry. Yours has to look like a shed. So thank you, John Mellencamp, and thank you, homeowners association, for reminding us what really matters on the "Ridiculist."
That does it for us. We'll see you again one hour from now at 10:00 p.m. Eastern, another edition of "360."

-I use to love opera mini. I’ve downloaded it on several of my past devices. I haven’t used it in over a year. When I downloaded it this time I found the home page to be not at all what I remembered. There seems to be no option of turning off “For You” content on the home page. I consistently click the little x’s and ask not to see content from certain sites and it keeps showing up. I really use to like Opera which is why I gave it 2 stars. Uninstalling!
-My first and favorite web browser. I’ve been using it for about 4-5 years. It was perfect in every aspect ; but now thet introduce ads of their own? What the heck?  It’s highly paradoxical considering that it also has an in-built ad blocker that is supposed to “block ads” not show them!!!
-A real shame, used this web browser for years even back on pre android phones. Got this app years ago when it was 400KiB in size, great for saving space and fantastic for saving data. Fast forward a few years and we have auto loading news, built in adds which you can’t stop for 5 seconds (I’d be prepared to pay for a decent version),despite the fact it has an adblocker!, pictures that load even when you tell it not to, I could goon, I’ll switch to something else if opera mini continues down this trend.
-I use opera from last few years it working good. Its maintain a difference with other browsers i.e. UC Browser. But now it became like others it show to much fake news, lots of ads and also most use feature of opera mini is going to fake os ad blocker. Previous version it work good but now its like adblock is mith for opera. That’s why i am going to be uninstall opera.
-A great way to save money on data. However, Opera has been engaging in what I feel is an unethical practice. When visiting certain web sites the Extreme mode is automatically disabled, this eating up data. These sites include Google, Amazon, CNN, eBay, among others. Is Opera Software ASA receiving bribes from these companies to disable Opera Mini’s cornerstone features? Also I began seeing interstitial ads while using the Extreme mode in the recent weeks. How good is adblock if Opera is getting paid to advertise and track users?
-Why we can’t delete download file history by just history but here we can see that our download file also deleted it’s not fair. I hope you’re support team give me a solid solution. Then I will change my rating . Otherwise it’s just bad browser.
-Its now acting as a malware. Its automatically trying to install all the apps its advertises on its home page. I suggest the team to stop such nonsense or we will be force to throw you out of our phone.
trough all the settings and switch all of that is available but still have annoying news blocks pop up.
the time you open the main page of the browser, where the news are, the vast majority of them here in the UK are from the Express, a far-right newspaper with a lot of dull, opinionated news. Are they paying you? Or Opera staff are dull themself?
-The video player should be fixed. Everytime, when I minimise the Opera while playing video and reopen it, The player goes all black. If the video is still playing good, The control tabs become invisible in landscape view. Also the videos sometime gets deleted automatically. It should ask before deleting anything. Sorry for my bad English but I might use it as default If the above mentioned problems will be fixed.
-Wonderful App. Web sync Fabulous. Some Missing Features from my point of view is 1. Optimize column view of web page. 2. Web page can be Save as a Standalone .Mht Page 3. Web page can be Save as a PDF 4. Add QR Code Scanner 5. QR Code Generator for Pages 6. Request for Desktop Mode for Particular Site.

The multi-talented 2-time Billboard Music Award Winner shows his deep understanding of complex jazz guitar with stylistic elements of Weather Report, Miles Davis, Wes Montgomery, Jimi Hendrix, and Pat Metheny in this solo/quartet instrumental project..
Dr Richard Michelson is recognized worldwide as MOTU, the multi-award winning blues and American roots guitarist and singer/songwriter. However, long before MOTU played the blues he was an accomplished jazz and classical guitarist. MOTU fans already know this from watching him in concert seamlessly jump between Delta slide, finger tapping fusion, old school finger picking, and contemporary jazz guitar styles sometimes during a single song! So after over 7 Million views on his official You Tube channel "motublues", 16 released Indie CDs with OVER 400,000+ sales world-wide, here is the long awaited guitar jazz project “MOTU – Distant Guitar Whispers in the Wind” which is MOTU’s 17th official CD release.
This is the jazz instrumental album MOTU fans have been asking him to do for many years. It contains ten compositions; nine MOTU originals and one reinterpreted guitar classic. This is pure guitar music with just bass, multiple percussion, and keyboards. There are no vocals to encumber the purity of the delivery which is designed to take the listener on a dream like journey within their mind and spirit. MOTU has brought in stylistic elements of classic Weather Report, Miles Davis, Joe Pass, and Wes Montgomery mixed with contemporary influences of Jimi Hendrix, Larry Coryell, and Pat Metheny. “MOTU – Distant Guitar Whispers in the Wind” is a unique album that is bound to become a favorite to guitarists, musicians, artists, and music lovers.

A winner and another quilt finished!
Congratulations, Mary Lou, and enjoy your prizes! On the first Monday in August, the 3rd block in Maggie’s First Dance will be coming out and it will give you all another chance to win a fabulous prize, so stay tuned! Speaking of which, I better get MY block finished….July is flying by and that date will be here before we know it! I do hope you are having fun sewing along…it has been so fun to see all the variety of blocks on all the different sites~ lots of creative minds out there!
Now for some quilty updates: I am just barrelling through my unfinished projects! So exciting! And I certainly haven’t felt that I couldn’t work on anything else. I think it has been a nice balance of finishing up UFO’s and doing sweet little ( fast) projects for almost instant gratification…yay! For me that is the best combination.
They were so much fun to make! I of course quilted them as I went, because these are HUGE blocks ( 16 and a half inches!) Well, I am proud to say that I finished putting on the border, put on a backing, and bound it all this past week! And here is the end result!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it! I haven’t decided whether I will let the kids cuddle with it, or if I want to hang and display it…quilts are for using after all, but I might just want to admire this one hanging on the wall for a little while…..
I have been “batching” this one ( is that a word?!), so started by sewing two blocks together, than 4, etc. You get the picture. I like doing that better than sewing in rows…it seems to go together faster for some reason. Anyway, just need to finish assembling the top, then add a backing, do minimal quilting through all the layers ( remember, the blocks are already quilted!), and then bind! Hopefully ( fingers and toes crossed here) this one will be done next week! I know quilting is not a race and I am supposed to enjoy the process and it just might seem that all I care about is racing through my projects, but that is not true. I just get excited to finish these projects that have been in my UFO pile for a while!
And finally I will leave you with some pictures of the flowers in our yard….they are gorgeous right now, and all those sunflowers are actually volunteers!
Monique, your quilt is beautiful, I am so jealous. i will have to get the pattern and use my jelly rows that are collecting dust. Your garden has lovely flowers so I guess you have a green thumb too. Have a wonderful Sunday.
Thanks, Judy, you are very sweet! Yes, definitely make the pattern, it is so much fun! I do recommend you get that specialty ruler to do those cuts. And I want to see your quilt when it’s done!

As my mom said, the shadow of Shani Maharaj is cast over the film industry. If the underworld-filmwallahs nexus wasn't bad enough, we now have scions of an eminently respectable film house being convicted for murder. On July 31, Ketan and Vivek Anand, sons of the late Chetan Anand, were given life imprisonment for their role in the brutal and premeditated slaying of former actress Priya Rajvansh in March 2000. The detailed judgment will be given on August 6, after which, the sentenced duo can approach the Mumbai high court to appeal against the decision. Which they probably will. But the thing is, no one's interested.
If Dev Anand and Vijay Anand had so wished, they, too, could have herded filmi activists for demonstrations outside the jail, proclaimed their nephews' innocence in carefully arranged press conferences -- even while declaring to "react and speak only after the judgment" -- and made political capital out of the pair's plight. In the pressurising department, Devsaab is no lightweight, believe me. But have you heard a word from them about their nephews' culpability in the last two years? Any sob stories in the press about "incurable scars on his psyche"...? Therein lies the difference.
When Ketan and Vivek were taken into custody, and throughout the 5 months they spent in jail before getting bail, do you think that reporters did not hound the senior Anands for quotable quotes? Was the case not sensational enough?? A body in the blood-splattered bathroom, a former actress of great beauty, her liaison with an acclaimed film-maker, a property dispute, prosecution witnesses like director Shashi Ranjan, the erstwhile maharaja of Bhavnagar, and television producer Siddharth Kak -- the case had it all! So why is it that Ketan and Vivek's trial remained in the domain of the judiciary, while Sanjay Dutt's became a free-for-all?
Now we've been admonished that Sanjay's shouldn't become a trial by media. Fair enough. But who brought in and encouraged the media in the first place? Was it the police who tipped off the media to cover, photograph and publicise the Anupam Kher-led demonstrations outside Arthur Road Jail...? Who used the pressure factor of the media? Who linked TADA with Sanjay and motivated the human rights activists to use him as a weapon against the Act? The government??
Who... how can I put it delicately..."pressurised" the politicians of the day? The Indian Express of September 9, 1999: "Dutt's closeness to the Thackeray clan -- Bal Thackeray had played a vital role in bailing TADA's most famous detenu Sanjay Dutt out of prison -- is reportedly keeping the rest of the pack away." The Tribune of February 24: "Mr [Sunil] Dutt has, by his action, done a good deed to the Sena, in gratitude for that party having bailed out his son Sanjay Dutt when he was involved in the serial bomb blast case in Mumbai in March 1993."
Wanna hear of the scars on my psyche? How my mother was a battered wife? How she nearly lost her youngest son from the blows to her stomach? How my elder brother used to be tied and beaten as a child? How we never had the protection a father affords? How, even as infants, we never had a mother at home because she was out working? It's all old hat. Moreover, it's common hat: Too many people, even among the affluent and educated families, have such terrifying experiences. But few wear it on their sleeves, and fewer still sink to the depths Sanjay Dutt did. His father's psychobabble nauseates me.
Sanjay Dutt was 20 years old when his mother died, shortly after his debut in Rocky in May 1981. Are we to believe that his "psyche" wasn't formed by then...? The loss of a beloved mother to cancer, do you have any idea how common that is -- even for children not yet in their teens? Zeenext.com tells us, "The day Sanju's mother died, Sanju was high on drugs." Wonderful. Here's a near-adult with a veritable hit, who, instead of being at his mother's bedside to alleviate her pain with his good fortune, gives in to an inherent flaw in character -- and his father passes all of it off as "incurable scars on his psyche" (The Times of India, August 1).
Dutt's spin doctors were already at work before that. In the ToI of July 29, one asserted, "[Rocky] released to howls of derision from the critics, too bent upon turning out a clever phrase to spare the boy and spoil the review. At that point of darkness, heroin seemed to be the only escape." Other evocative phrases used in the shine-up: "Prince of Darkness," "destiny's favourite whipping boy," "diabolic Greek tragedy," "a haunted man." Meaning, the rich and famous are never to be held responsible for their own actions; it's all dem bad gods up there pulling dem strings.
On July 31, the special MCOCA court of Justice A P Bhangale restrained the media from publishing any unauthorised documents or material submitted as evidence in the Bharat Shah case; he has also stopped the media from passing any comments on evidence produced in that court. The judge gave perfectly valid reasons for his decision. Nevertheless, what I do not understand is, why did Bharat Shah move the court against dissemination of the transcripts when it was his lawyer, Kapil Sibal, who first read them out in court...? Mid Day of July 19, 2001, states: "On Monday, advocate Sibal, while arguing the case said, 'Dutt has directly spoken to Karachi-based Chhota Shakeel over the phone several times. Police even have a recording of the conversation. Yet he is a witness and Shah the accused'." Wheels within wheels, all beyond my ken.
Lawyers and the technicalities in their arguments, are equally beyond my ken. For instance, Dutt's lawyer Farhana Shah told The Asian Age that Dutt did not violate the condition the TADA court applied when granting him bail -- that he would not contact any absconding accused of the Bombay blasts case. Chhota Shakeel, indeed, is not an accused in that case. When Dutt sought permission from the TADA court to shoot in Mauritius, the court instructed him not to contact any absconding accused of any other case, as well. Farhana Shah again claimed a non-violation on the grounds that the court had instructed Dutt not to talk to any absconding accused of any other case "only when he is travelling abroad." Besides which, "No one has confirmed that the voices are of Chhota Shakeel and Sanjay Dutt." Ergo, Dutt's done no wrong.
The prosecution's story is that, following the Babri demolition, communal riots broke out in Bombay in which many Muslims died, and 172 accused persons hatched a conspiracy, within India and outside, to serial bomb-blast Bombay in order to shatter the Indian economy and avenge the demolition and deaths. The police contend that two of the accused, who turned approvers in June 1995, disclosed in detail how the conspiracy was hatched and revealed that some of the accused were taken to Pakistan, via Dubai, for arms training. They divulged that Dawood Ibrahim and Tiger Memon had masterminded the blasts, for which arms and ammunition were smuggled in from Pakistan, the consignment landing at Shekhadi and Dighi coasts in Raigad district. A portion of this consignment was taken by film producer Samir Hingora, Ibrahim Moosa Chavan and Abu Salem to Sanjay Dutt's house.
In early 1991, Samir Hingora had teamed up with Hanif Kadawala to form the audio company, Magnum. They also took to producing films and purchasing video rights of movies. When the duo were arrested in April 1993, they confessed that they had gone to Sanjay Dutt's bungalow to deliver the weapons in January, and that Dutt had kept one AK-56 rifle and returned the rest of the weapons. This piece of evidence attracted Section 5 of TADA, which banned possession of terrorist weapons in a notified area. Besides, the instructions given by Dutt to his security guards -- to move outside his bungalow to facilitate the delivery of arms -- was indicative of his intention to participate in the conspiracy, the CBI submitted.
Based on Hingora's and Kadawala's confessions, the Crime Branch arrested Sanjay Dutt after his arrival in Bombay from a shooting in Mauritius in April 1993. He was taken to his friend Yusuf Nalwala's house in Dongri on the same day. A woman who answered the door informed the police team that Nalwala was already in the custody of Dongri police station in connection with another case. Yes, another case.
While he was shooting in Mauritius, Sanjay Dutt had allegedly telephoned Nalwala at his residence and asked him to destroy the AK-56 rifle. In his confession, Nalwala stated that the rifle was taken to his friend Kersi Adajania's foundry to be dissembled and melted. The police said that during a raid, they recovered the spring and rod of the destroyed rifle.
The defence's story is that there is no evidence to suggest that Sanjay Dutt conspired with the 172 accused to commit terrorist acts. In written submissions, Dutt denied the charge that he had accepted an AK-56, its ammunition, a 9mm pistol, its cartridges and hand grenades. He denied that he retained one rifle and returned other weapons. He also denied that Hingora and Chavan had visited his residence in a Maruti laden with arms and ammunition. He said the prosecution was relying only on his confession and those of the co-accused -- which had been retracted and hence could not be accepted without corroboration. Even assuming that he accepted a weapon from the accused, it was for self-defence and not for creating terror, Dutt said. At the maximum, he could be tried under the Arms Act and not under TADA.
Sanjay Dutt denied he had asked Yusuf Nalwala to tell the police about the weapons and ammunition. He denied that Nalwala had taken him and a police team to Kersi Adajania. He denied knowledge about Kersi's producing a spring and rod and handing them over to police.

Portland, Oregon and New York City, two very different cities, are finding something similar about cyclists and pedestrians - they tend to spend a bit more money in local economies.
“Streets that promote bicycling and walking mean more business for local shops and restaurants,” said Paul Steely White, Executive Director of Transportation Alternatives (TA). “When it comes to the impact bike lanes have on local businesses, it’s a case of ‘if you build it, they will come."
In the East Village, putting in new bikes lanes has lead to an increase in cycling, with nearly a quarter of residents reporting biking for their transportation needs. Altogether, 95% of retail dollars in the area that Transportation Alternatives studied were spent by cyclists, pedestrians, and public transport users.
That's perhaps not a completely surprising find, as in the dense East Village, most people are cyclists, pedestrians, and public transport users, rather than car drivers. Yet it is important to counteract that ingrained perception that car-based business is 'better'. Transportation Alternatives found that of the four different mobility groups, cyclists and peds spent the most (when looking at weekly spending).
local businesses. Car and subway users spend less per capita, $143 and $111, respectively, according to TA.
In Portland, Oregon, a less dense city, researcher Kelly Clifton found a slightly different yet also persuasive case that over time, pedestrians and cyclists spend more than their car-driving brethren.
Clifton and her team collected surveys at 89 spots in Portland, finding out how much money people spent, how often they visited, and how far they traveled to get there. The majority of people, it should be said, still arrived at the different locations by car.
And looking at single visits, car drivers spent more at supermarkets and restaurants than the other transport modes. Yet it turns out that walkers, bikers, and public transport takers visit the locations more frequently, and thus, over the space of a month, spent more.
At convenience and supermarkets, walkers spent more. At bars and restaurants, bikers and transit users were neck and neck on spending, in both cases ahead of car drivers.
This is good news for planners trying to keep local business vibrant.
Conventional merchants are afraid to lose parking spaces to bike parking or bike lanes. New York and Portland are finding cyclists increase local economies, and spend more, too!

granddad: Yes they are. I had an old synthesizer that stopped working, so I cannibalized the two DIN plugs and the metal shield.
There are a lot of DIN plug types that look similar to the MIDI socket.
So it's easy to make that mistake.
I realized that only the important pins were there.
Here's the keybed decoder / scan logic.
The taped down bundles are the data and strobe lines coming from the PIC. The rectangular copper foil patch is the ground plane for the PIC.
to clock a port with pulses. Then, on to register setup and programming.
Well it looks like the CPU is working and communicating with MPLAB-X.
There's still a bit to do, but I'm excited.
I've searched a little bit about keybeds and some roland types readout the highest notes with the lowest matrix.
Because there was some space there, but not in the highest matrix.
When scan logic works You can create MiDi Strings with the USART and test it out with an PC e.g. with MiDi OX.
wkrug: As soon as I get a test program set up, I'll be able to take a look at the keybed and test it.
I'd also like to pick up a 49 key bed from doepfer.de I have those mating connectors, so I can retrofit the key action.
granddad: I have a few synths that I could use.
I have a Virus C, Roland XV-5050 and a JP-8080, and both an Alesis S4-Quadra and the QSR.
As wkrug said, I can feed it into the midi interface and use MIDI-OX to see what's coming out.
That sounds like a neat project.
Here's the schematic for the ICSP interface.
Remove the jumper to program it, replace it to run stand-alone.
Here's all of the Data ports with their corresponding shared pins.
Here's what I came up for the keytar port assignments.
As soon as I get everything wired up and tested, I'll post pics and a schematic.
granddad: Young player? I'm still a toddler.
I've started writing the initialization code. First, I have to shut off everything I'm not using.
Then, the UART and Timer1.
Luckily for me, 31250 Baud is an exact register value.
As soon I get the basic stuff working, I'll post the new source code.
Here it is. Not my best work. If I had my druthers I'd redo it and do a better layout.
Who knows...I may just do that.
The top of the Keytar board, in its' entirety. As you can see, I stashed the crystal inside the empty space of the socket.
This was supposed to be better detail, but the shot got blurry.
Here's a close up of the A/D convertor inputs. I hope the twisted pairs keep the noise down.
I didn't do a separate Analog / Digital ground. Perhaps in the next prototype, I'll plan that in.
an AC244 can be used to scan for columns.
2) The Display controller. I have a chunk of room where I can fit just about everything I need.
I still have to design that part of the system.
I'll publish a schematic in a few days. First, I want to get the PIC functioning and make sure that no hardware changes are needed.
Hitting all notes of a keyboard can be a challenge because the difference between the higher pitch notes becomes a small fraction of the processor crystal speed.
There are tricks to overcome the issues by selecting the "perfect" crystal speed that allows the 12-note "octave" to align with the integer scaling factors that can be easily done with a chip.
The long-form datasheet for the old AY- series sound generators (General Instruments/Microchip) from the 1980s (Atari and Apple sound cards), gives an excellent example of hitting all musical note frequencies with a relatively low frequency crystal - simply by picking the right starting crystal frequency.
This project is only going to be generating MIDI events to feed to a synthesizer, which is a "walk in the park"
in comparison to actual waveform generation.
But I've always wanted to build a DIY synth.
Sad that those ICs are difficult to get these days.
Let me know if you want a few, I have a drawer full of them and I doubt I'll ever get a project started. AY-3-8913.
Each chip can play three tones at a time plus a noise channel. Weird but cool effects possible. Not a full-on synth but it would be great for playing an 8-bit audio concert.
gophert: Thank you for your kind offer. Perhaps we can collaborate on a project.
Please bear with me, as I'm a complete n00b with the PIC. The changeover of tools with Microchip has made it even more difficult.
I'm thinking something like this. I wrote it in C, but I'll code it up in PIC assembler when I'm ready to implement it.
Set the AC238 address to the lower 3 bits of 'i'.
1 or 2 tick delay...not sure. Will check the timing when the code is running.
Set the latch enables on the AC573 to low.
Set the latch enables on the AC573 to High.
Set the latch enable #1 on the AC573 to Low.
Set the latch enable #1 on the AC573 to High.
Set the latch enable #2 on the AC573 to Low.
Set the latch enable #2 on the AC573 to High.
// We now have the previous keyboard scan data as well as the current scan data.
If a key hasn't been pressed, the velocity will be 0.
Of course, this is just a rough skeleton. I have to implement the UART code and the transpose / octave code.
The variable "Transpose" will hold a value which is summed to the Note number.
The range of this value will be -11 to 11.
The variable "Octave" will hold a value which will sum 12 (the number of notes per octave) to the key address.
The important thing to remember is that a MIDI note can only be between the range of 0 and 127.
So it will have to be clipped to that range.
MJ I think you will find the MPLABX [watch] option useful in conjunction with a break point. ( watch does not always tell the truth ! ) I run MPLAB on linux , PC it seems a lot less buggy . When I did my KB scanner I used the PIC EEprom to hold the table of note values , and from the row/column counts just produced an address of the note , (2x66 note manuals so different counts) was easy to transpose that way also... I also could send a second MiDi channel with the same note value ..
granddad: I suspect that the note octave positions were fixed in your design.
Moving the 49 note key array up and down across the entire 128 note range was not needed?
Correct me if I'm wrong. If you needed to do that, you'd simply set a starting offset into the EEROM key table.
1 ) the user needs to be able to transpose notes played.
2 ) The user also needs to move the controller through the octave positions.
Layering is another nice effect; When a key is struck, it produces two separate MIDI events on different channels.
That means Transposing and Key range need to be stored for each of the MIDI channels involved in the Split / layering.
without a corresponding note off being sent first. That needs to be handled in the code as well.
So, you only have about 80% of the info when the timer tick is completed.
Then there's system event handling, as well as MIDI clock.
I should be done with the schematic in a few hours.
I'll post it as soon as it's complete.

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 24 (Reuters) - Malaysian police on Friday filed criminal charges against fugitive financier Low Taek Jho, who is wanted in connection with a multi-billion-dollar money laundering scandal at state fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
Low, popularly known as Jho Low, is regarded as having been close to former prime minister Najib Razak and has been identified by investigators in Malaysia and the United States as a key figure in the 1MDB case.
He was slapped with eight charges of money laundering at a court in the administrative capital Putrajaya, Amar Singh, the director of police commercial crime investigations told Reuters on Friday.
Low’s father Low Hock Peng was booked for one charge under the same money laundering act, he said.
“Warrants of arrest for both of them were issued by the Court,” Singh said.
A spokesman for Low did not immediately respond to an emailed request for comment.
Low and his family’s whereabouts are unknown, but Malaysian lawmakers and enforcement officials have said the 38-year-old financier is believed to be living in China. Some media reports say he may be in Abu Dhabi.
The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) and Singapore authorities had previously issued arrest warrants for Low.
Malaysia has also applied for an Interpol red notice to seek assistance from the United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, India, Myanmar, China and Hong Kong to detain Low.
Investigations into 1MDB were reopened after Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad returned to power in a stunning election victory in May, ending Najib’s decade-long rule.
Last month, Najib was charged for money laundering and abuse of power in connection with funds transferred from a former unit of 1MDB. Najib has denied wrongdoing.
The DOJ says over $4.5 billion was misappropriated from 1MDB, with some of the money used to buy a private jet, a superyacht, Picasso paintings, jewellery and real estate.
Earlier this month, the $250 million superyacht Equanimity, which the DOJ says was bought by Jho Low, arrived in Kuala Lumpur after it was seized by authorities.
Attempts are also underway to impound Low’s $35 million private jet that was grounded in Singapore last year.

A remote corner of the Arctic, the Northwest Passage, is being tackled by a brave band of explorers with the help of high tech planning software.
Amidst the ice-locked terrain, temperatures of 40 below zero and man-eating polar bears the Ice Warriors team led by veteran explorer Jim McNeill have prepared for every eventuality using MindManager. Just days after setting off on the 500-mile trek from their base in Resolute Bay the team stay on top of their logistics by accessing MindManager on laptops.
Preparations for setting off on the 50-day journey, which started on 5 March, are seen here but the team of eight started using MindManager's visual mapping tool to plan their logistics and critical contingency measures back in 2003.
The team are laden with equipment, as seen here, which will allow them to measure the effect of climate change, thought to be opening up the ice-locked passage.
The passage through the northern tip of Canada could be used as a shipping route that could shave nearly 4,000 miles off journeys between Europe and the Far East.
MindManager, seen here, figured centrally in the planning of this colossal project and provided a visual interface that rapidly captured, organised and displayed information as intuitive data maps.
Jim McNeill, Ice Warrior's founder, said in a statement: "When faced with a potentially life-threatening situation to the team, the responsibility of getting everyone home safely is imperative.
"These expeditions are logistically very complicated and visualisation software has been a revelation in planning for it. As a team we have used the tool to visualise and brainstorm different events that we might face in the Arctic, even the unexpected and highly unlikely scenarios."

The Core Group2, composed of UNICEF, UNHCR, WFP, WHO, ENN and GIFA/IBFAN have developed and disseminated module 13 on Infant Feeding in Emergencies. Module 2 is nearing completion, and has a greater technical component to support health and nutrition staff operating in emergency situations to assist mothers with infant feeding in emergency settings.
Between 16 and 17 April, 2003 a meeting was held by the Core Group4, hosted by UNHCR, Geneva, to identify the key steps necessary to finalise the training modules. Presentations were made by ENN, on a recent collaborative project with GIFA to support the development of the modules, and by Professor Mike Golden, on the use of diluted F100 in infants under six months.
Key steps necessary to complete the modules were identified. The management of malnutrition in infants less than six months emerged as an outstanding issue which requires a wider consultation outside the Core Group.
In order to strengthen the development of the training modules, a project was developed between the Geneva Infant Feeding Association (GIFA) and the Emergency Nutrition Network (ENN) to evaluate the application of Module 1 to date, and to collate field experiences (in the form of case studies) of agencies involved in infant and young child feeding in emergencies to support module 2. Key findings were reported to the Core Group at a two day meeting (15-17 April, 2003) in Geneva, and key issues to emerge are summarised here.
Information was collected through email and phone interview on the use of the module, its value and if there was a need to update/revise it. Four key user groups were targeted - the Core Group involved in the development of the training module, individuals who downloaded the material from the website, institutions involved in humanitarian training courses and key organizations involved in emergency nutrition interventions.
Since April 2001, over 1000 sets of module 1 training material have been disseminated to agencies and institutions. The material had been used in both formal and informal training by agencies, institutions and individuals. The ENN site has proved a significant distribution mechanism. Overall, 158 individuals from 20 different countries, representing at least 12 different international organisations, have downloaded material from the site.
All sections and training modules were used to varying degrees. However there was a call for more detail on supporting appropriate feeding practices, more focus on complementary feeding issues and more guidance on the challenges of infant feeding and HIV/AIDS. More case studies were also requested, with more updated information on recent or current emergencies and situations, e.g. displacement of large numbers of unaccompanied children.
Although module 1 was devised for nontechnical staff, technical staff, e.g. health and nutrition workers, largely used the material. Those contacted felt the material could be marketed and targeted better. Some were not aware that the material was still available, while others felt it would be worthwhile investing in training of trainers to realise the full potential of the module.
The majority felt that translation would be premature until the modules had been finalised, however material had already been locally translated into Arabic, Spanish and Portuguese.
Based on this evaluation, it was recommended that the necessary steps to finalise module 2 should be taken. Both modules need to be appropriately marketed and targeted to emergency staff.
A variety of experiences and case studies were constructed. Experiences were gathered from staff currently working in a variety of countries, including Burundi, Liberia, Afghanistan, Sudan and Sierra Leone.
During the course of gathering field material, a number of issues emerged which were highlighted at the meeting.
First, a number of experiences touched on topics that were not extensively dealt with within the current draft of the training material. These particularly related to small scale (e.g. orphanage feeding) and large-scale (e.g. Iraq situation) interventions, where artificial feeding was a significant part of the emergency response.
Secondly, a critical issue emerged regarding the most appropriate management of malnourished infants less than six months - an area already identified by the Core Group as lacking in evidence. A number of field practices were identified, with individual experiences and effectiveness of interventions varying between countries and programmes. A comparative review was made of recommendations/field practice, to identify common ground, gaps, and conflicts, review the supporting evidence and determine the implications for the development of technical guidance within module 2. Protocols and practices from MSF (Afghanistan and Burundi), ACF (Afghanistan, Liberia, Burundi), Merlin (Sierra Leone), Concern (Bangladesh), and recommendations from MSF, ACF, WHO and the Ethiopian Framework for severe malnutrition were included.
Different supplementary milks used in addition to breastmilk, including F75 and F100, diluted F100, and infant formula.
Various admission criteria, with permutations on weight and height criteria as well as reported age, medical and clinical criteria.
Differences in discharge criteria, most significantly whether anthropometric targets were included or not.
The majority of guidelines (i.e. MSF, ACF) aimed to re-establish breastfeeding in the severely malnourished young infant, if necessary using supplementary suckling, and relied on breastmilk to achieve subsequent catch-up growth. In contrast, draft WHO recommendations for severely malnourished infants less than six months advise that breastfeeding cannot be relied upon for treatment. Supplementary milk (F75 during stabilisation, F100 during rehabilitation) is recommended by WHO before each breastfeed, which they feel is necessary to ensure the survival of the severely malnourished infant.
Varying sources and levels of evidence supported current recommendations and practice. Most of the field activities and agency protocols that were reviewed have been guided by the ACF guidelines5, developed on the basis of documented interventions in Liberia6 and operationalised in many programmes since. In many cases, however, reported evidence based on programme experiences has not been fully documented, or has not been widely disseminated. Also, the context of emergency programmes has a significant influence on outcomes and is critical in interpreting effectiveness of interventions.
Evidence behind technical sources of guidance is also variable. The lack of substantial research in this area means that limited data may be given a higher credence than they merit. As it stands, there is scope for considerable confusion as to appropriate practice in the field. Conflicting recommendations may undermine the perceived value of guidance, and have a detrimental effect on the management of malnourished infants.
On the basis of this study it was recommended that artificial feeding of infants is addressed in greater depth within the technical guidance of module 2. It was suggested that resolution of issues regarding the management of malnutrition in young infants is critical, but requires involvement of a wider network of technical experts and practitioners outside the Core Group. An urgent consultation involving agencies active in the field and technical individuals/bodies is required to achieve consensus.
4In addition to the Core Group members, also attending were Professor Mike Golden, Dr Andy Seal (Institute of Child Health, London), Rebecca Norton (Terre des Hommes) & Felicity Savage.

It's safe to say that your chances of increasing your earning power goes up if you have a college degree. More and more people are getting their degrees in order to do just that. In fact, in 1998, less than 25 percent of people over 25 had a college degree; today it has increased to over 30 percent. But the job market is competitive, and certain job fields pay more than others.
It makes sense to go for a degree in a field that is going to make you the most money. Salaries will be higher in fields that reflect what is most needed and sought after, and technology and sciences are at the top of the list.
#1 - Engineering: starting salaries for engineers are projected at $62,998, with an average lifetime earning power of $3.4 million, compared to the lifetime average for all degrees of $2.4 million. And if you want to become an engineer in the petroleum field, your starting salary just jumped up to $80,000.
#2 - Computer Science: 2015 projected average starting salary is $61,287, and average lifetime earnings are estimated at $3.1 million. If you specialize in a particular field, you will earn even more.
#3 - Math and sciences: these grads will earn a starting salary of $56,171 and over their lifetime earn about $2.6 million for science grads, and $3.1 million for math grads. Within this field, physics majors will earn the most, about $65,000, and if these majors go on to management positions, their lifetime earning power will increase up to $3.4 million.
#4 - Business: business grads are still needed and paid higher than many other college degrees. Starting salary for a business grad in 2015 is $51,508, with lifetime earnings projected at $2.6 million. Business management jobs pay the highest.
#5 - Agriculture and natural resources: grads in these professions can expect an average starting salary of $51,220, and lifetime earnings of $2.6 million. Like most professions, if these grads go on to management positions, they will earn even higher salaries over a lifetime.
Notice that the first 3 college degrees are in the STEM fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. These are going to be the hot degrees for college students for some time. Other high paying degree areas include healthcare, communications, social sciences and humanities.
