side and other departments who worked very hard to put doud in place had equities, and so it happened that i was on a program visit to lasakar and where the crisis started to unfold, the timing of it was driven because the taliban had the districts of northern helmand under pressure, and the doud's perception, his lack of tribal influence to the reasons that nick has talked about. he was not able to pull this off with a behind the scenes politicking. there was undoubtedly pressure coming from the axis, and if the government flag had fallen in any of the district centers and the taliban flag had replaced it, and it was titanic stuff like that, battle of the flag poles and stuff like that, then the u.k. effort in terms of its recognition of afghan political motivation from the sort of provenn issue level or district level all the way up to the national level as was suggested was going to be in sort of political jeopardy, its credibility in question just at the time when a u.k.-led headquarters was starting to take ownership in the operation. any suggestion this was a sort of whim by bri

saw his wife doud and little baby james born about just three months ago. so a new dad. he's been playing well since becoming a father. nick: yeah, new dads always play well. it has that calming effect. it really does. jim: it does, doesn't it? what happened with brandt last week? nick: way back. my natalie is about 24. was about 10 months old when i won my first open. get on your hands and knees and play with bubba. it's wonderful. >> i was the same way. when haley was born i played my best golf. then laura was born. it was ideal. family time. nick: it's the best excuse for a dad. doesn't have to be embarrassed with -- kids on his hands and nighs and go and play with the toys. >> this bunker shot, he's got a couple different options. he can bring it out reasonably low and land it reasonably low and carry it to the ridge and run it or carry it to the top and hope to spin it. as bunker shots go, it's not that difficult. nick: i think just go ahead and play it. wow. seven. that's eight. oh, please, no. you can't stay up there. he's got bubba's putt. jim: exactly. it will b

they sort of dewpoint doud for a little while and then made peace and we continued the patrol.e did not have reason to fear that the problems would escalate beyond a few thrown rocks. the units go up and down the road and check for improvised explosive devices and i had been told that they had checked and there were no known ied's on the road. ..but that afternoon we left the village and got probably 50 yards down the road. we happen by what looks like an abandoned motorcycle when a bomb exploded underneath the vehicle i was in. there were seven people in the vehicle, including myself. of the seven, five were heard enough to be evacuated by helicopter. those near the back of the vehicle, for this from the blast -- furthest from the blast, were not heard, although concussions are difficult to detect in the short term. groaning sounds]nd t. we need to get ou we need to get out of here. >> oh, my ankle is killing me. oh, my goodness. oh, my ankle. >> my kevlar. i do not know where my kevlar is. >> do not worry about it. >> in the aftermath of the blast, the army evacuated five peo

they don't -- doud terse don't provide that choice to parents of all students. think about it. even if someone has a voucher and they have some money if it is $7,500, whatever that might become that doesn't give them the health and support they need even for an entire year. so families perhaps who have resources could avail themselves of this but families that do not come in and we know that our military families do not have a lot of resources but still have to pay a large amount of money whether it is for transportation or the cost of schools themselves under a public education they can actually be afforded the entire cost. former school board member actually i think like this. it shifts the cost of the public education program providing for special needs students to the department of defense. that might sound good, but in essence i think once you open this up it really can be problematic. every time i go whether it is in the theater, at home talking to the troops, every single time i have a family that raises questions about special-education. so in that, we are together. how

my daughter is learning to speak chinese, granted she's doing it because doud wants her to the oil and let her use an old smart phone, i floated on the chinese language learning apps and she has gained that help recognition and even one that let her take pictures of a character and gives her a translation. i recently have seen a demo of an application that will allow her to take a picture of an object and get a translation audibly. these are the applications that won't make the cut on the desktop computer if for no other reason at least for my five year old will never sit still. many of them or 99 cents, none were more than $5. when she gets older she and i will do is the star what at which uses location information to show a real time map of the night sky. mobile apps like these open the world's of learning for kids and adults in ways that are not imaginable five years ago and there are thousands of similar stories to mind. over 500,000 apps are available on the mobile platforms today originated less than four years ago the economy will grow $5.8 billion this year in the next four yea

you talked about holding a public forum on the various to broadband and then bill doud and we commend all of you for the forums that you have held and these are important to the successful implementation of the territories like the u.s. virgin islands, so are there some barriers you identified to the broadband bailout and technical assistance the fcc would provide to overcome those barriers mr. chairman? >> there are barriers. some of the barriers we see are barriers that slowdown infrastructure companies why your and wireless from building a quickly that had cost. we took some steps in this area of around our site and shot clock to come back to the concept we adopted one. we think -- we took steps in this hearing with respect to the attachments which would help reduce barriers and for the cost of broadband bailout. we are interested in hearing from the industry stakeholders on other barriers would be appropriate to address one that's been brought to our attention the challenges of around coal locating antennas on existing towers and unnecessary delays in that process so that's someth
