Putting him on the leagues exempt list. We made a mistake. And we needed to get this right. We embrace our role in the community and the responsibilities that go with it. It is important to always listen to our fans, the community and our sponsors. But some teammates are disagreeing with the vikings and defending adrian peterson. Take a look. People blowing it out of proportion, and you know, and all this and all that. But at the end of the day, man, we came here to win football games, and i think football right now for adrian is the best thing for him to do is to play football, you know, let out some frustration and, you know, be himself. All these allegations of this and that, he aint been convicted of nothing. In crimes and stuff, youre innocent until youre convicted guilty. And i dont think hes guilty of nothing yet, and i think he should be able to play football. So, petersons mother is also standing by her son. In an interview with the houston chronicle, she says in part, i dont care what anybody says, most of us disciplined our kids a little more than we meant sometimes, but we were only trying to prepare them for the real world. When you whip those you love, its not about abuse, its about love. You want to make them understand that they did wrong. Now, nike announced it is suspending its contract with peterson, saying it does not condone child abuse or Domestic Violence of any kind. And Carolina Panthers defensive end greg hardy, who is also facing Domestic Violence charges, has joined peterson on the leagues exempt list. The panthers say that hardy requested a voluntary leave as the Legal Process is playing out. He will no longer take part in Team Activities but will still be paid. All right, on a different note today, in just a few hours, senators are expected to vote on a key part of president obamas plans to defeat Islamic State militants in iraq and syria. They will follow the house, which in a rare show of bipartisanship voted 273156 in favor of training and arming moderate members of the syrian opposition. 159 republicans and 114 democrats voted yes, while 71 republicans and 85 democrats voted no. Secretary of state john kerry laid out the obama administrations strategy to the Senate ForeignRelations Committee yesterday, and it led to a Heated Exchange with the ranking republican member, senator bob corker. Youre not going to ask for buyin by the United States senate or house of representatives on behalf of the American People in a conflict that you say is going to be multiyear, some people say a decade, taking us into another country with a different enemy is exercising the worst judgment possible. What arab sunni country is going to be putting boots on the ground in syria against this now claimed army by your at this moment, no country has been asked to put boots on the ground or no country is talking of it, and we dont think its a good idea right now, so theres no discussion of that at this moment. Now, with respect to the judgment about asking congress to do it, im asking. Do it. Pass it. Youre asking us to do it, but youre not giving any details because you dont have them. Thats not true, senator. Well, then share them. Senator, i am not going to share them in public here today. Many youre in a classified setting. Im confident there will be so many classified briefings that youll be tired of them. So, is the tense backandforth that outraged democratic senator barbara boxer. I think it is shocking and a sad state of affairs that we heard just now such angry comments aimed at you, mr. Secretary, and through you at our president instead of at isis this is just a sad opening of a hearing. Ive never seen it, and ive gone through some tough ones. Meanwhile, one day after joint chiefs chairman general Martin Dempsey suggested boots on the ground was a possibility in the fight against isis, president obama once again vowed that would not be the case. I want to be clear, the American Forces that had been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. They will support iraqi forces on the ground as they fight for their own country against these terrorists. As your commander in chief, i will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. But president obamas former defense secretary, robert gates, is warning boots on the ground will be needed to be successful. He also says al qaeda shows it may be unrealistic to say the goal is to destroy isis. Well, it is a decision day in scotland, where voters are casting ballots right now on a historic referendum. Now, the question, should scotland become independent as a country and leave the uk after more than 300 years . There are more than 2,600 polling places across the country, and strong turnout is expected with more than 4. 2 Million People registered to vote. Polls over last week Shows Growing support for scotland to become independent, but the issue is still considered just too close to call. Todays the New York Times features an op ed from scottish actor alan cumming, who has campaigned in favor of independence. And in the op ed, he writes it is time for scotland to take control of its own destiny. President obama is opposed to Scottish Independence and says he hopes the uk remains strong and remains united. Or tall right, were going to london and cnbcs steve sedgwick. This is a big day for the uk and british Prime MinisterDavid Camerons legacy. Lets talk about this, the polls just too close to call, but there is a tipping point, so to speak. Reporter yeah. I mean, look, for cameron himself, this is extraordinary. You mentioned the active union over 300 years ago, 1707. If hes the man who loses the union, the ramifications from this could be enormous, not only for the country but for him personally as well, because hes the man who actually agreed to have this referendum back in the autumn of 2012. He agreed with the scottish nationalists we would have a vote, but he also agreed on the terms of it as well. There could have been a third option in here as well, which was to give the scots more power within the United Kingdom, and he wanted a straight yes or no. He thought he would definitely win that on that basis, i. E. , scots would vote no because of the uncertainty economically if they went forward as well. So, he took out the third option, and that is where many people say he may have made his biggest mistake as well. But even if the conservatives and the rest of the british political establishment down south of the border get what they want and the scots say no, that still leaves about 48 of the scots, a minimum, who actually are saying we want to be some form of independent. That could cause all kinds of disruptions for cameron domestically in the united ki kingd kingdom, in england. He has a bielection coming up next month and the United KingdomIndependence Party want outside of europe, and theres a very good chance they will take a seat from the conservatives, which mr. Cameron is part of, and create all kinds of problems for him, even if this Scottish Referendum is a novote. So, cameron has enormous pressure on him personally on the back of this, and indeed, the bid from many to pull out of europe from the british. Its been amazing to look at this as scotland separates in generational opinions about this as well. I want to get your take, steve, quickly as well. The banner day, another record day, wall street, the dow. The fed now talking about what investors really wanted to hear once again. Look, green arrows across the board. So, another strong, strong day. Reporter yeah, it was a good day for the market, but i mean, what is interesting is janet yellen is walking a tight rope. This is the chair of the fed, of course, who said we will keep rates where they are for a considerable time. That soothed some concerns. But then they put out projections from the fed for future rate hikes and they think the fed has been too relaxed about the rate of hikes going forward. Now there are projections going out to 2017, which could say u. S. Interest rates, the fed funds, which is virtually zero now, could go up to as much as 3 , 3. 75 , and thats got some people spooked. What it did was led a lot of people to buy the dollar. So, the dollar had a very strong rally on this, and other currencies around the world sold off as well.

A new operating system also means a new policy for privacy from apple. The company says its now impossible to turn over iphone or ipad data to police if its running on the new operating system that was released yesterday. It is the ios 8, and apple wrote on its website, unlike our competitors, apple cannot bypass your passcode, and therefore, cannot access this data, so its not technically feasible for us to respond to government warrants. This policy does not include data stored on the icloud, but users can change their settings to prevent cloud storage, and the change comes five months after the Supreme Court ruled that police must obtain warrants for most cell phone searches. So, we wanted to find out, what do you think about apples new Privacy Policy . Tweet your best answers using waytooearly.
