THE WAR AGAINST ISIS IS NOT A LEGISLATED WAR BUT AN EXECUTIVE ORDER THE LEFTIST POTUS BHO USES–REFERING TO THE LEGISLATED CONGRESSIONAL WAR ON TERROR INACTED BY THE POTUS GWB–AS THE LIBERAL COASTS THE WAR WITH BOTH HANDS TIED BEHIND THE BACK AS THE NAVY FIGHTS A WAR WITH BUDGET CUTS AND THE DEMOCRAT JUMPS FOR JOY WHILST PUTTING OUR MEN AND WOMEN IN HARMS WAY WITH THE MINIMAL TOOL SET POSSIBLE AS THE WAR AGAINST IS IS PLAYED IN THE BACKGROUND TO THE LIKES OF THE DEMOCRAT AND THE LIBERAL MSM

A rare gap in the presence of a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf this fall could hinder military capabilities in the war against the Islamic State, the Obama administration's nominee to lead the Navy told the Senate Thursday.

Adm. John Richardson conceded the effects of a two-month gap in carrier presence -- the first since 2007 -- under intense questioning from Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., as the Senate Armed Services Committee weighs whether approve the admiral's nomination as chief of naval operations.

"Without that carrier, that will be a detriment to our capability, yes, sir," Richardson said.

The USS Theodore Roosevelt is currently deployed to the region and has been launching strikes against targets in Iraq and Syria as the U.S. and coalition forces struggle to make headway in the year-old war against the Islamist hardliners there.

In addition, U.S. officials say the recent agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program in exchange of sanction relief hasn't alleviated concerns about Iranian power in the Middle East. Arab countries in the Gulf are concerned Iran will use additional funding to support terrorism within the region.

Still, the Navy is shouldering budget cuts and a limited number of ships. The Joint Chiefs of Staff recommended the gap in carrier operations, the current Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert told Stars and Stripes in a recent interview.

Richardson told the Senate that the military would work to mitigate the gap left by a carrier by using land-based aircraft, but did not elaborate.

The U.S. and Turkey announced expanded coordination this month on the war in Iraq and Syria that includes Turkish permission for the U.S. to use its air base at Incirlik for bombing runs. The move could be a significant breakthrough in the war effort, giving the U.S. closer access to Islamic State targets in northern Syria and Iraq.

But carriers have given key support to the current air campaign, the previous Iraq war and stability in the region.

Roosevelt-based aircraft fly about one-third of the aircraft sorties supporting Operation Inherent Resolve, according to the Navy. Last fall, President Barack Obama ordered the USS George H.W. Bush on station in the Persian Gulf to respond to the Islamic State's advance in Iraq.

The Roosevelt carrier strike group was also recently dispatched to Yemen as that country devolved into violence.

"So, now you believe that land-based air can replace the presence of a carrier?" McCain asked.

Others remain skeptical about taking a carrier out of the Middle East.

"It reduces the president's options," said Bryan McGrath, former naval officer who now runs the consulting firm FerryBridge Group. "Aircraft carriers are so powerful because we can relatively quickly move it in position where we need it and use it without anyone's permission."

THE EURASIA TRAIN ROUTE FROM SEOUL KOREA DEPARTING JULY 14TH FINALLY ACCOMPLISHED ITS FINAL DESTINATION IN BERLIN TODAY JULY 30TH–THE PLAN ROUTE TO CONNECT VIA THE RAILROAD FROM EASTERN ASIA ACROSS TO EUROPE GETS ITS FINAL PUSH WITH A FINALE IN BERLIN GERMANY–THE FUTURE VISION PUSH CALLS FOR N KOREA TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLANNED ROUTE IF S KOREA CAN FULFILL THE RAILROAD LINK

More than 250 passengers of the “Eurasia Express” staged a parade through the Brandenburg Gate on Friday in a display of South Korea’s commitment to a reunification with the North as their 20-day, 14,400-kilometer journey came to an end.
The one-hour, 2-kilometer march kicked off at the Victory Column, a monument built in 1864 to mark then Prussia’s defeat of Denmark, passing through the 17th of June Street, which was named after the day of a bloody workers’ uprising in 1953 in the eastern part of the city. It was also a national holiday for West Germany until unification.
Located at the center of the capital, the Brandenburg Gate is a symbol of German unity and one of the few landmarks that weathered World War II.
“There is no better place than Berlin for the Eurasia Express to wrap up its excursion in, given its aspiration to close the 70-year history of separation of the two Koreas and move forward into the grand future of unification,” Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se said in his congratulatory remarks ahead of the rally.
“While Germany celebrates the 25th anniversary of its unification, the Korean Peninsula is still suffering from the pain of separation. Throughout our journey, what we did not forget for a second was the day of unification on which the people of the two Koreas blend together, sharing freedom and peace.” …..

…..The project was a centerpiece of President Park Geun-hye’s “Eurasia Initiative,” designed to expedite greater business and sociocultural cooperation between the two continents by connecting roads and railways.
Yet it left the substantial challenge of inducing North Korea’s participation, which is pivotal to the realization of key routes such as the Trans-Korean Railway envisioned to link with the Trans-Siberian Railroad to reach Europe. With Pyongyang being aloof, the Eurasia Express took a detour and set out in Vladivostok.
Following the march, a welcome reception was hosted by Ambassador Lee Kyung-soo and a concert took place in front of Brandenburg Gate. The college students of South Korea and Germany had held a discussion on unification earlier in the day. The participants are scheduled to return to Seoul on Sunday.

THE WHOLE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH IS NOT THE MOTTO OF THE LEFTIST LIBERAL DEMOCRAT POTUS BHO CHAOS AND HIS COHORTS OF DEMOCRATS SINCE REVEALING TRUTHFUL INFORMATION TO THE AMERICAN PUBLIC DOES NOT FIT THE AGENDA–AS THE IRAN NUCLEAR DEAL MUST BE MADE EVEN WHEN NOTHING GAIN FOR THE WEST NOR PROTECTING AMERICANS FROM THE EVENTUAL CAPABILITY OF IRAN TO GO NUCLEAR AND A LEGACY CHECK MARK MUST BE MADE THAT A DEAL EVENTHOUGH IN THE CHAMBERLAIN LEVEL OF NEGOTIATION OF GIVING EVERYTHING AWAY IS THE DEAL WHICH LEADS TO AN EVENTUAL WAR AFTERWARDS–THE POTUS BHO HIDES ONCE AGAIN PUBLIC DOCUMENTS NOW THIS TIME ANY IRAN DEAL DOCUMENTS AS THOUGH IT’S A NATIONAL SECRET IN AND AROUND THE VAULTS OF WASHINGTON–THE DEMOCRAT WAY OF SHUTTING PUBLIC OPINION IT WOULD LIKELY SHOW

Seventeen unclassified Iran deal items have been locked in ultra-secure facilities ordinarily used for top secret info. Why is the Obama administration trying to bury this material?

Scattered around the U.S. Capitol complex are a series of Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facilities, or SCIFs, which are typically used to hold Top Secret information.

But today in these deeply secure settings are a series of unclassified documents—items dealing with the Iran nuclear deal that are not secret, but that the Obama administration is nevertheless blocking the public from reading.

The Obama administration delivered 18 documents to Congress on July 19, in accordance with legislation requiring a Congressional review of the nuclear deal. Only one of these documents is classified, while the remaining 17 are unclassified.

Yet many of these unclassified documents cannot be shared with the public or discussed openly with the press. The protocol for handling these documents, set by the State Department and carried out by Congress, is that these unreleased documents can only be reviewed ‘in camera’—a Latin term that means only those with special clearance can read them—and must be held in various Congressional SCIFs.

Most staffers were hesitant to discuss—let alone share—a number of these documents, even though they’re not classified, because they require security clearances to view. By mixing a classified document with unclassified documents, critics of this arrangement contend, important facts are being kept from the public just as Congress is deciding whether to support or oppose the Iran deal.

“The unclassified items… should be public. This is going to be the most important foreign policy decision that this Congress will make,” a Republican Senate aide told The Daily Beast. “This is the administration that once said it would be the most transparent administration in history. They’re not acting like it.”

“Many in Congress view the administration’s tactic of co-mingling unclassified documents with classified documents and requiring Congressional staffers to have secret clearances just to view certain unclassified documents as an attempt by the administration to limit open debate,” a second senior Republican Congressional staffer said.

Among the 17 unclassified documents are important texts related to the Iran nuclear deal: One document, titled “Elements of Iran’s R&D Plan,” is based on the “safeguards confidential plan [between] Iran and the IAEA,” a State Department official said, and so it can’t be released publicly. The document describes how Iran’s research and development on its nuclear program, including on its centrifuges, could progress over time.

THE LIBERAL KILLING MACHINE OF BABIES CAN’T LET MORE OF THE TRUTH COME OUT THAT BABIES ARE BEING SOLD FOR PARTS–AND NOW THE COURTS OF AMERICA HAS GRANTED STEMEXPRESS THE RIGHT TO BLOCK MORE UNDER COVER VIDEO FROM ESCAPING TO THE PUBLIC AS THE RIGHT OF FREE SPEECH TO REVEAL THE TRUTH JUST MUST NOT BE DONE SINCE THE DEMOCRATS ARE ALSO PROPONENTS AND CHAMPIONS OF THIS GRUESOME ACTS OF KILL BABY KILL OF YOUR UNBORN

The pro-life group behind a series of undercover Planned Parenthood videos accused the bioservice firm StemExpress late Wednesday of trying to “cover up this illegal baby parts trade” after the company obtained a court order blocking the release of footage.

The Los Angeles Superior Court issued a temporary injunction Tuesday stopping the Center for Medical Progress from releasing any video showing three officials from StemExpress, a company that transfers fetal tissue from abortions performed at Planned Parenthood and other clinics to medical researchers.

A company spokesman told the Associated Press that StemExpress is “grateful its rights have been vindicated in a court of law,” but the center said in a statement that the court threw out most of the company’s request.

StemExpress is “attempting to use meritless litigation to cover-up this illegal baby parts trade, suppress free speech, and silence the citizen press reporting on issues of burning concern to the American public,” said the CMP statement.

“They are not succeeding — their initial petition was rejected by the court, and their second petition was eviscerated to a narrow and contingent order about an alleged recording pending CMP’s opportunity to respond,” the group said.

The measured US temperature data from USHCN shows that the US is on a long-term cooling trend. But the reported temperatures from NOAA show a strong warming trend.

The biggest component of this fraud is making up data. Almost half of all reported US temperature data is now fake. They fill in missing rural data with urban data to create the appearance of non-existent US warming.

BEWARE OF FAKE APPLE IPHONES FROM USED ASSEMBLED SECOND HAND SMARTPHONE COMPONENTS BY A GROUP IN BEIJING CHINA

BEIJING police have busted a factory that produced more than 41,000 fake iPhones worth as much as $19 million, including some that were sold in the United States.

Nine suspects were arrested in the counterfeiting operation including a married couple that ran the illegal operation, authorities said.

Police seized 1,400 handsets and large quantities of accessories during the raid.

Beijing police said their investigation followed a tip-off from US authorities who seized some of the fake devices.

Apple is one of the most popular brands in China, where authorities have stepped up efforts in recent years to dispel the country’s reputation for turning out counterfeit goods.

Officials have taken stiffer action to enforce intellectual property rights, pushed firms to apply for trademarks and patents and cracked down on fakes.

Police shut down the factory, which ran under the guise of a gadget maintenance shop on the northern outskirts of the Chinese capital.

The details were revealed in a social media posting on Sunday by the public security bureau in Beijing.

The group, headed by a 43-year-old man, surnamed Yu, and his 40-year-old wife, surnamed Xie, both from the southern hardware manufacturing city of Shenzhen, allegedly set up the Beijing factory with six assembly lines in January, the bureau said.

They hired “hundreds” of workers to repackage second-hand smartphone components as iPhones for export, it added.

ON THE OTHER HAND THE COMMUNIST N KOREA CELEBRATES THE ARMISTICE BETWEEN THE S KOREA THIS JULY 27TH, 1953 WITH DEATH TO AMERICA WHILST ITS ECONOMIC SURVIVAL RELIED ON THE COMMUNIST SOVIET NOW RUSSIA AND CHINA WHOSE AGENDA IS A SEPARATED KOREA FOR USE AS ITS BUFFER ZONE AGAINST THE WEST AND JAPAN–WHERE N KOREA CITIZEN STARVE FOR LACK OF FOOD BUT PLENTY OF WAR WEAPONRY THAT CAN’T BE DIGESTED

North Korean officials warned the United States that another war on the Korean Peninsula would leave no Americans alive to sign a surrender document as the country marked Monday's anniversary of the armistice that ended fighting in the Korean War more than six decades ago.

Pyongyang and other cities around North Korea were decked out with flags and banners as North Koreans flocked to patriotic gatherings and mass dance celebrations to mark the anniversary of the July 27, 1953, agreement that brought the three-year Korean war to an end with an armistice, not a peace treaty.

North Korean officials took the opportunity of the anniversary to step up their anti-U.S. rhetoric and call upon the nation to redouble its devotion to the nation's current leader, Kim Jong Un, the third leader in the Kim dynasty, and prepare for a final showdown with Washington.

The anniversary is hailed in North Korea as a victory over the U.S., which fought with the South Koreans and U.N. allies against the North's forces, who were supported by China and the Soviet Union.

In a speech to veterans on Saturday, Kim Jong Un stressed the importance of instilling the country's young people with the same fighting spirit and devotion as the generation that experienced the war. But he also stressed that North Korea has a new ace in the hole — a nuclear arsenal of its own.

"Gone forever is the era when the United States blackmailed us with nukes; now the United States is no longer a source of threat and fear for us and we are the very source of fear for it," he said in the speech, the text of which was broadcast on North Korean television.

At a separate gathering held Sunday, Korean People's Army Gen. Pak Yong Sik, who is believed to be the country's new defense minister, said that if the United States does not abandon its hostile policies toward Pyongyang and provokes another war, the North is prepared to fight until "there would be no one left to sign a surrender document."

THE MIRACLE LIKE ISRAEL THAT IS OF SOUTH KOREA TODAY AFTER WW2 AND AFTER THE KOREAN COMMUNIST SURPRISE ATTACK WITH AN ARMISTICE IN 1953–THE STRUGGLES AND BATTLES THAT HAS DRIVEN AND THRUSTS S KOREA INTO THE ECONOMIC WORLD SCENE FROM ITS HISTORICAL BEGINNINGS AFTER 1953–BOTH COUNTRIES HAVING BEEN SUPPORTED BY THE PROTECTION OF THE USA LEADERSHIP AND ITS CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES AT ITS INFANCY

In a report released by the Japanese government on July 27, 1961, eight years after the end of the Korean War, Korea was described as a country that had no future.
The report concluded that the chances of Korea learning to stand on its own feet from the ashes of the civil war were dismal. The country's large population relative to its small territory and scarce natural resources, and the significant expense required to counter security threats from the communist North were identified as factors in the pessimistic outlook on the country.
Observers were also skeptical of the country's prospects for democracy. During the Korean War, a British journalist wrote that "expecting democracy to bloom in Korea is like hoping for a rose to blossom in a garbage bin."
The modern history of Korea in the past seven decades after the end of World War II, however, dispels such naysayers' views.
Korea is now one of the world's largest economies, with world-class shipbuilding, semiconductor, steel and automobile industries. Its current profile in the global economy stands in stark contrast to what it used to be in the 1960s. Back then, Korea was one of the world's poorest countries, with a per capita gross national product of merely $87 in 1962. The country's No. 1 priority at the time was feeding its hungry people.

THE LEFTIST AND OR LIBERALS OR COMMUNIST OR ISIS HOW IS THIS ANY DIFFERENT WHEN THE SAME FIGHT IS AGAINST CHRISTIANITY–AS COMMUNIST CHINA TEAR DOWN CHURCH CROSSES ACROSS ZHEJIANG PROVINCE–THE SAME LEFTIST DRIVE IN THE USA TO STAMP OUT CHRISTIAN RELIGION FOR THE ETHOS OF ATHEISTISM ANATHEMA TO EVILUTION - THE WORLDS NEW RELIGION

Christian leaders – including an 89-year-old bishop – have taken to the streets of eastern China to protest against an “evil” campaign to remove crosses that many see as a coordinated Communist party attack on their faith.

Activists say more than 1,200 crosses have been stripped from churches in Zhejiang province since the government initiative began in late 2013. There has been a spike in such actions in recent weeks.

On Friday, around 20 Catholic clergy staged a rare public demonstration in Wenzhou – a coastal city known as the “Jerusalem of the East” – including Vincent Zhu Weifang, its elderly bishop.

A banner unfurled outside government offices by the group read: “Maintaining religious dignity and opposing the forced removal of crosses”.

Chinese police monitored the two-hour protest but did not break it up, according to UCA News, the Catholic agency.

Zhejiang is home to one of China’s largest Christian congregations with an estimated 300,000 Catholics and one million Protestants split between government-sanctioned and underground “house” churches.

Towering red church crosses – visible for miles around – once dotted the city’s skyline but many of the most prominent been forcibly removed since the campaign began. In some cases, entire churches have been reduced to rubble.

Authorities insist they are attacking illegal building practices not religion. The cross removals appeared to have petered out towards the start of this year.

ANDROID 2.2 AND ABOVE VULNERABLE TO HACKED VIA TEXT MESSAGES–ESTIMATE THAT 950 MILLION ANDROID USERS WORLDWIDE CAN HAVE THE SMARTPHONE INFORMATION HACKED–SMARTPHONE WEB BROWSER FIREFOX 3.8 AND ABOVE SAFE IF THE SAME HACKER SITE IS ACCESSED

Almost all Android mobile devices available today are susceptible to hacks that can execute malicious code when they are sent a malformed text message or the user is lured to a malicious website, a security researcher reported Monday.

The vulnerability affects about 950 million Android phones and tablets, according to Joshua Drake, vice president of platform research and exploitation at security firm Zimperium. It resides in "Stagefright," an Android code library that processes several widely used media formats. The most serious exploit scenario is the use of a specially modified text message using the multimedia message (MMS) format. All an attacker needs is the phone number of the vulnerable Android phone. From there, the malicious message will surreptitiously execute malicious code on the vulnerable device with no action required by the end user and no indication that anything is amiss.

In a blog post published Monday, Zimperium researchers wrote:

A fully weaponized successful attack could even delete the message before you see it. You will only see the notification. These vulnerabilities are extremely dangerous because they do not require that the victim take any action to be exploited. Unlike spear-phishing, where the victim needs to open a PDF file or a link sent by the attacker, this vulnerability can be triggered while you sleep. Before you wake up, the attacker will remove any signs of the device being compromised and you will continue your day as usual—with a trojaned phone.

The vulnerability can be exploited using other attack techniques, including luring targets to malicious websites. Drake will outline six or so additional techniques at next month's Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, where he's scheduled to deliver a talk titled Stagefright: Scary Code in the Heart of Android.

Drake said all versions of Android after and including 2.2 are potentially vulnerable and that it's up to each device manufacturer to patch the bug. So far, very few devices have been patched, leading him to estimate that about 95 percent of devices—or about 950 million of them—are currently susceptible. Even Google's Nexus 5 handsets, which typically receive security fixes long before most other Android handsets—remain vulnerable. Nexus 6 devices, meanwhile, were patched only recently against some but not all Stagefright attacks. Vulnerable devices running Android versions prior to 4.3 (Jelly Bean) are at the greatest risk, since earlier Android versions lack some of the more recent exploit mitigations. Fixes require an over-the-air update.

Enter Firefox

Interestingly, the Stagefright vulnerability also affects Firefox on all platforms except Linux, and that includes the Firefox OS. Firefox developers have patched the vulnerability in versions 38 and up.

"If you install Firefox 38, you can no longer get exploited directly via Firefox," Drake told Ars. "However, if I make your Firefox download the malicious video instead of trying to play it with a <video width="300" height="150"> tag, it will still reach the vulnerable Android code."

SilentCircle, maker of the Blackphone Android handset, has also patched the vulnerability in its PrivatOS with the release of version 1.1.7.

THE BATTLE OF TARAWA IN 1943 WHICH KILLED 990 US MARINES AND 30 US SAILORS WITH 3500 JAPANESE AND ONLY 17 SURVIVED AND 1200 KOREANS SLAVE LABORERS WITH 129 SURVIVORS WILL NOW HAVE 36 US SOLDEIRS REMAINS RETURNED BACK HOME FOR ITS FINAL RESTFUL PLACE OF HONOR

The military and a private organization have brought home the remains of 36 Marines killed in one of World War II's bloodiest battles.

A group called History Flight recovered the remains from the remote Pacific atoll of Tarawa, the U.S. Marine Corps said. A ceremony was held Sunday in Pearl Harbor to mark their return.

History Flight has started identifying the remains, and the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency will complete the effort, the Marines said. The Marines plan to return the remains to their families after they've been identified.

More than 990 U.S. Marines and 30 sailors died during the three-day Battle of Tarawa in 1943. Japanese machine gun fire killed scores of Marines when their boats got stuck on the reef at low tide during the U.S. amphibious assault. Americans who made it to the beach faced brutal hand-to-hand combat.

Only 17 of the 3,500 Japanese troops survived. Of 1,200 Korean slave laborers on the island, just 129 lived.

The U.S. quickly buried the thousands of dead on the tiny atoll. But the graves were soon disturbed as the Navy urgently built a landing strip to prepare for an attack on the next Pacific island on their path to Tokyo.

U.S. Marines carry the remains of 36 unidentified Marines found at a World War II battlefield during …

About 520 U.S. servicemen are still unaccounted for from the battle.

THE BIG SCARE BY LEFTIST THAT THE NATURAL EARTH RESOURCE WOULD DRY UP HAS BEEN THE LIE PUSHING FOR THE AGENDA AT THE TIME THE EXCUSE THAT RAISED ENERGY PRICE FOR THE CONSUMER AND FORCED UNWANTED EXCESSIVE HIGH COST ENVIRONMENTAL ENERGY THAT CAN NEVER MATCH THE ENERGY OUTPUT OF NATURAL EARTH ENERGY INCLUDING NUCLEAR–AS THE OIL GLUT CONTINUE BRINGING PRICES DOWN THANKS TO AMERICAN INGENUITY SPEAR HEADING IN RECOVERING THESE NATURAL RESOURCES HAS BROUGHT THE PRICE AND COST OF ENERGY LOWER FOR THE WORLD WHILST THE LEFTIST LIBERAL PLAN TO CONTROL THE ENERGY COST AGENDA HAS BEEN STYMIED

Oil hit four-month lows on Monday after a steep drop in Chinese stock markets and on more evidence of a global supply glut that has halved prices over the past year.

Chinese stocks tumbled more than 8 percent on Monday, the biggest one-day drop in eight years, showing an unprecedented government rescue effort to prop up valuations has run out of steam.

"Today's oil price fall has been driven by the slump in Chinese stock markets," said Carsten Fritsch, senior oil market analyst at Commerzbank in Frankfurt.

Front-month Brent crude fell to its lowest in four months at $53.63 a barrel, down 99 cents by 1035 GMT. On Friday, Brent closed at $54.62, its lowest since March 19. U.S. crude for September was down 57 cents at $47.57 a barrel.

China is the world's biggest energy consumer and a huge oil importer. Investors worry that a stock market crash could destabilize the Chinese economy and cut fuel demand.

Global oil supplies are ample with major oil producers in the Middle East Gulf competing for market share and pumping 2-3 percent more oil than needed, analysts say.

Weekly U.S. drilling rig data showed on Friday that 21 oil rigs had been added, the highest gain since April 2014, pointing to a further increase in U.S. oil output.

In Iraq, exports from its southern oilfields are on course for a monthly record, having topped 3 million barrels per day so far this month.

"In the next couple of months, even if the global oversupply and seasonal weakness are becoming priced in, it is difficult to see where any price uplift will come from," said Societe Generale oil analyst Michael Wittner.

Investors were also looking to the U.S. Federal Reserve for direction this week. The central bank starts a two-day policy meeting on Tuesday that could result in a September interest rate hike that would strengthen the greenback.

THE COSMOPOLITAN IN LAS VEGAS WAS BURNING SATURDAY - THE ROOFTOP POOL DECK AREA ABLAZED IN FLAMES AND SMOKE

Two people were injured and hundreds of others were forced to flee after a fire broke out at a luxury hotel in Las Vegas on Saturday afternoon.
The blaze started at an outside pool area on a 14th-floor deck of The Cosmopolitan and quickly spread, setting pool cabanas and trees alight.
As large plumes of black smoke billowed into the sky, terrified guests fled to safety and more than 100 firefighters rushed to the scene.
One person injured in the blaze was taken to hospital, while a second guest with minor injuries is still being evaluated at the 2,995-room hotel.
The pair both suffered smoke inhalation, officials said.  
Firefighters extinguished the blaze around 30 minutes after arriving at the scene, Fire Chief Greg Cassell told KSNV. An investigation is ongoing.

A NEW WORLD RECORD 433 HOT AIR BALLOONS FLOATING AT THE SAME TIME IN EASTERN FRANCE

Four hundred and thirty-three hot air balloons lifted off from an air base in eastern France on Sunday and soared straight into the record books.

The balloons, including some spectacular designs such as a French chateau and rotund cartoon character Obelix, took off from Chambley-Bussieres air base to beat the previous record for simultaneous hot air balloon flights.

The previous record was set at the same spot in 2013 when 391 ballons went up.

"A new page in ballooning history has been written," said Philippe Buron-Pilatre, organiser of the twice-yearly Lorraine Mondial Air Ballons event.
