Should the United States have created the state of Israel?Submitted by pawnstorm12 on Thu, 01/31/2013 - 07:15
I hope this essay isn't seen as anti-Semitic in any way. It is not meant to be.
It only asks a question about the role of the U.S. in creating another nation based solely on a creed.
When the United States created the state of Israel in 1948, it sealed a certain fate which will last indefinitely.
One might argue that the U.S. didn't create Israel by itself - after all, didn't many nations participate?
But after WWII, the U.S. had the biggest guns in the world, including sole possession of the atom bomb.
No one could have forced us to do, or prevented us from doing anything.
So without the power of U.S. military might behind the decision to form a new nation (which meant displacing three quarters of a million people), and draw up new borders (based only a religion), such a nation-state would not have been created.
The United States itself was formed under strict rules prohibiting it from being based on any religion, creed, culture, language or any other such parameter restricting citizenship - other than the idea of individual liberty.
So it's rather ironic that we were instrumental in creating a new country BASED COMPLETELY on a belief system.
If you weren't Jewish, you couldn't live in Israel proper after the borders were drawn, and it's basically the same today I believe.
Now I'm not arguing whatsoever against U.S. efforts to liberate Jewish prisoners from Nazi concentration camps.
I read the book "Auschwitz" when I was 13, and it had a profound and lasting effect on me.
It was hard to believe humans could do that to one another, but the photos didn't lie.
My question is: After the Germans were defeated and Jewish prisoners freed from those camps, is that where the U.S. should have stopped?
Other than humanitarian efforts (not by government force, but rather by charity) to aid former prisoners back into freedom, was it a good idea to actually create a nation for them?
Would our founders have warned us about being invloved in forming a nation based strictly on a religion?
Would thay have told us we would never be safe again if we did that?
Will we one day be involved in a war over Israel?
Is there's any stopping it?
How many Americans will die (or have already died) in defense of Israel?
Will it never end until the end of time?
How many more 9/11's will happen to us for our involvement?
Will all the biblical connotations become self-fulfilling prophecies wherein our interventions will be justified and deemed necessary i.e. Revelations?
Maybe I'm off base here, and I suppose the criticisms will come hot and heavy.
But today, American citizens are a semi-slaves, not only to Israel, but to all the other countries to whom we're giving untold billions of dollars in a futile attempt to buy peace and "friendship."
Case in point: We've given Egypt some $70 BILLION over the last 40 years to leave Israel alone.
And we still give them billions. But they're not going to leave Israel alone anymore.
So what do we do NOW? Continue to give them weapons and money which one day will be used against US?
The same goes for Syria, Libya, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, UAE, Qatar etc.
Our founders warned us, but we didn't listen.
And now we'll forever pay the price - in blood, treasure and national insecurity.
As always, I'm open to opinions as to why I may be wrong about this.
I only wish I was.

Now I thought that was really funny when my 9 year old read that joke to me off of his laffy taffy candy wrapper.
I immediately thought of this thread that I had been dialoging on put up by Pawnstorm. Amazing how the DP comes to mind during the simple moments of life.
Rather humerous Bear...
Perhaps my post needed a shot of humor!
"We have allowed our nation to be over-taxed, over-regulated, and overrun by bureaucrats. The founders would be ashamed of us for what we are putting up with."
-Ron Paul
The more I learn about history the more I hate Israel
The Zionists are terrorists just like the neo-cons here in the US are. Isn't it ironic that AL-CIA-DA has never targeted Israel? Its because the CIA and Mossad control AL-CIA-DA.
Everything that has happened over the past decade and continues on today is blamed on Al-cia-da. Its the justification used for our never ending wars and the destruction of our constitutional rights and al-cia-da is a creation of our so called leaders and they control them to this day. They use OUR tax dollars to fund terrorist attacks whereever they want to get involved to steal resources or just to sell more arms. People need to wake up to the fact that the bankers have always funded both sides of every war and they are doing it to this day. Ending the FED is about much more than stopping legal counterfiting...it will make it impossible to fund illegal wars with money borrowed from the unborn.
Well put go213mph - "AL-CIA-DA"
Great post too.

Ron Paul doesn't hate them
Do you know something he doesn't?
I doubt it FBI_
RP is a christian and I'm an Atheist. RP also would alienate A LOT of people that listen to him if he said he hated Israel. I think RP has voiced his displeasure with Israel much more candidly than any other congressman, but I don't think anyone really knows what he thinks about the state of Israel.
In RP's Liberty Defined, he
In RP's Liberty Defined, he speaks well about Zionism. He did that to begin focus on Zionism in a way to encourage Zionists to be good rather than bad and that if they are bad, that bad will contrast greatly from what RP and other prominent people said, showing that, Oh, my, what, so, Zionists are proving us wrong, whaaat? RP's language corners Zionists to behave well. He's a smartie, that RP.
Recommendation: Speak well about Zionism and speak it loudly and far. If Zionists behave opposite to who speaks about Zionism favorably about life and love, all the more people hearing the words and seeing the deeds will see what is what.

that is interesting--
and it is what Dr. Paul does well--
trouble is there are so many violent Christian Zionists--
HOW on earth do *we* speak well of them?
I don't think Jesus would--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
1988vote, just want you to
1988vote, just want you to know I remember I'm supposed to answer you. I'll be back when I have time to reread the chapter in Liberty Defined again. I read it a day or two after you and I had this conversation but I haven't had the time to think about what he read. So, I'll reread it and think about it and write what I will here. OK, 1988vote, very good. I'll talk with you later.

All of us are God's children
you, me, Christian Zionists, Jews, Hindus, everyone.
Jesus said that He is the judge not you and that his commandment to you is to treat others as you yourself would like to be treated.
If you were Christian you'd know all of the above.
Act accordingly.
Jesus did not speak well of the Pharisees--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
I feel the need to interject here
It is my understanding that we are all God's Creation.
However, God's creation is divided into 2 subsets:
1)Children of God
2) Children of the Devil
Jesus was speaking to the Pharasees.
John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
contrasted with:
1 John 3:10 KJV
In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
How does one become a Child of God:
Galatians 3:26 KJV
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
And as I pointed out.
Jesus *IS* the judge.
We are not.
Jesus told His disciples to beware the leaven of the . . .
how can a mere mortal be wary of someone without at least discerning, if not making simple judgements--
there is a difference between judging and condemning. *We* speak of people with sound judgement or of people with poor judgement; perhaps *we* are in trouble here with semantics--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
there is a difference between
there is a difference between judging and condemning.
Finally. FINALLY. F-I-N-A-L-L-Y someone in addition to me recognizes each of those words, those processes, for what they are.
Lordy, lordy, I swear. I thought I'd never encounter anyone who knew them to be separate, for each to have its own meaning. Good on you, Mrs. RPer since 1988. Yah!

But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.
Thanks for your reply,
Thanks for your reply, 1988vote. I'll reply with an answer later today. I'll reread RP's chapter on Zionism as well as think about how to speak well about Zionists.
In short I recommend speaking about Zionism as any other following: Mention the good even if its sparse and make the argument (even using that sparseness to your advantage) that the people who want Zionism have had their belief sullied and maligned by people (including their ethnic kind) who want to pervert it, a perversion that brings forth dominance. If you have information, talk about it because that will help contrast the good Zionists from the bad Zionists. The contrast is key; it's where employing argument really comes in, meaning they, the Zionists, are trying to live in peace by building a location their own despite people who call themselves Zionists are trying to tear down their community, showing that the latter people aren't Zionists but destroyers. This want, the one to live with each other in peace, is common among man, it's part of freedom. Its "name" is "ability to associate," which is good as long as the people associating don't harm anyone (except themselves if they want to). Just focus on the good and build the case for freedom of association.
Thank you for the reply, 1988. I'll get back to you with what RP wrote.

Israhell is a racist country
founded on ethnic cleansing. It meddles endlessly in America's affairs, and WE the people are forced to support it with billions of dollars of tax money.
Golly gee, I wonder why anyone would hate that wonderful country? #sarcasm
Ron Paul believes is stopping ALL foreign aid.
As do I.
Ron Paul does not hate Israel, Israelis or Jews.
Ron Paul wants 'aid' to end to all countries--
he doesn't 'hate' anyone. Well . . . I'm not sure he's wild about the men who run the FR--
But he doesn't hate them--
it's hard to be awake; it's easier to dream--
No one said anything about Dr. Paul hating Israel or jews.
But maybe you can explain to me why you support Zionism? I am genuinely curious.
Here's the deal "Hannahmontana"
If you REALLY cared so much, GO MOVE THERE.
I think you're just an anti-semite loudmouth using Israel as your strawman to advance your anti-Jewish agenda.
Because if you REALLY CARED as much as you run your mouth, you would move there and do something about it.
It's your right to do so and if you did it's none of my business, go to town.
But as long as you are here shooting off your mouth, b* tching only, jawboning and refusing to take action, I'm going to expose you.
There you have it!
Ha Ha Ha!! Great reply, all that space used,
and not one fact.
It is impossible to be anti Semitic against European jews.
The Semites are a group of people (Arabs and Jews) who come from the Middle East.
Most American jews, and the politics of Zionism originated from Kazakhstan and Georgia.
A very great number of Semitic Jews are desperately opposed to Zionism, many also question the 6 million, and many of them were horrified that their country too was stolen from them by a huge influx of European refugees who weren't jewish at all.
Instead of losing the plot, why don't you learn up on the topic...,
or are you a Zi spy?
European Jewish Y-DNA (patrilineal DNA) is the same as all Jewish people worldwide (except converts).
Nice try.
Again, if you are so mad at Israel THEN MOVE TO PALESTINE so you can help Palestineans.
Fact is you really DONT CARE that much about Palestineans. You just hate Jews.
Here's what I want you to do. For the purposes of your an my relationship, consider me to be a European Jew.
Act accordingly. Thank you.
We all share a common DNA
We are all human. The common belief in the science community is that we all come from a common thread originating from.... Africa!
Why would I move to a country that has been stolen, not only from the Palestinian peoples, but also from the native Jewish population.
And to help you along the way of becoming a better person.....I don't hate any race....just their politics.
If you are a European Jew, get OVER IT, and become a fully functioning, caring, empathetic, human being, who cares for his brothers and sisters, no matter what. That is what the greatest Jew of all time taught us!
There is an entire branch of science devoted to this that can clearly distinguish haplogroup branches.
While, yes, we all share DNA, European Jewish patrilineal Y-DNA is the same as Israeli, Sephardic, etc, etc.
No matter how you want to try to slice it, no amount of neonazi wizardry is capable of defeating the hard science of that fact.
I do not support American Zionism.
However, I am also not an anti-semite like you.
Nor do I give a r@ts @ss about anyone else external to America's view on Zionism as it's not my, your or any American's business, frankly.
Again, I am 100% in synch with Dr. Paul's position on the matter since 1994 when I first got to know Dr. Paul. And I can assure you Dr. Paul's position on the matter has not changed since AT LEAST that time.

Tracy Winder: A 'yes' vote is not a vote to secede
Monday, October 14, 2013
Here is the language appearing on the Moffat County ballot:
"Shall the Board of Moffat County Commissioners of Moffat County, in concert with the County Commissioners of other Colorado Counties, pursue becoming the 51st State of the United States of America?"
If Referred Measure 1H passes, it neither commits Moffat County to any secession movement nor limits the County from exploring other available avenues.
Voting "yes" on this measure does not constitute your approval for our Moffat County Commissioners to attempt a split or separation away from the State of Colorado.
A "yes" vote means that you are willing to allow our county commissioners to study the matter of secession more thoroughly; to assess what steps may be necessary to make secession possible; to determine what other options may be available to Colorado counties to attain rural representation at the state level; and to continue to evaluate secession and other options that would enhance Moffat County's ability to retain local control of our own economy and lifestyle.
To further explain the Moffat ballot issue, Jeffrey Hare, a speaker at the recent open community meeting on Oct. 2, stated that if Measure 1H passes in Moffat County, it constitutes what could be described as "an unbinding referendum," which simply continues the process of Moffat County Commissioners researching, considering and scrutinizing the possibility of forming a 51st State as one possible alternative to the Colorado State government's aggressive strategy of "one size fits all."
The "secession" movement in Colorado is in its infancy. According to Mr. Hare, information about the initial organizational meetings were leaked to the media before the group was prepared for public discussions. There is much yet to learn and prepare before any substantive actions can take place.
Passage of Referred Measure 1H will allow county residents time to examine and discuss this issue in further detail.
Any person or organization that may be telling you something different is incorrect.
Information is available at the 51ststate.org website.
Tracy Winder, Moffat County Resident

It would be better to drop this ridiculous idea all together. We have become the butt of jokes and are now a laughing stock along with the other counties involved. Secondly, what would make anyone think Wyoming would want us anyway? Have they expressed an interest in taking us in? We need to remove our thumb from our pouty little mouth, quit stamping our feet and play ball with the rest of the team. All of this crazy talk has become quite embarrassing and I hope it bombs out the door come election time. Geez, what's next, I can't wait?

hollywoodnews.com: "Tower Heist" director Brett Ratner, who has been tapped to play producer for next year's Academy Awards telecast, is in hot water for derogatory remarks he made following a Q-and-A in Los Angeles.
"Rehearsing is for fags," Ratner commented when asked about his process. To him, it might have felt like a harmless, off-the-cuff slang term that he uses with his buddies. But his word choice has raised the ire of multiple, respected film writers, some of which are calling for Ratner's proverbial head.
In a Grantland column bluntly titled "Why the Academy Should Fire Brett Ratner," Mark Harris writes of Ratner's hasty apology and sums up, "I've had to listen to versions of every one of these mea-not-quite-culpas over the years and seriously, I'm no longer interested in patiently witnessing the slow arc of a public figure's learning curve. What I do care about is what the Academy does, which should be either to ask for and receive his resignation from the show or to drop him as the producer of a show that is supposed to represent the best the industry has to offer.
"There's not really a long, nuanced debate to be had about this," Harris continues. "If he had used an equivalent racial or religious slur, the discussion would go something like, 'You're fired.' Apology or not. The same rule applies here. You don't get a mulligan on homophobia. Not in 2011."
Awards Daily writer Ryan Adams adds, "I sincerely believe the Academy needs to fire Brett Ratner."
And Twitter, at this moment, shows a steady stream of support for Ratner's removal from the Academy Awards.
Will it happen? Should the Academy react? Was Ratner out of line? Let us know your thoughts below, and we'll continue to trace the fallout from Ratner's comments.

Brett Ratner criticized by Oscar bloggers for derogatory remarks – AWARDS ALLEY
By Sean O'Connell
"Tower Heist" offered on Video on Demand 3 weeks after theatrical debut
HollywoodNews.com: It could be a game-changer or could just be an irrelevant blip (it's so hard to tell sometimes). The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Universal has announced a (very) limited test run with offering premium-priced Video On Demand for Brett Ratner's all-star caper comedy Tower Heist (trailer) just three weeks after the film's November 4th theatrical debut.
Long-story short, if you live in Atlanta or Portland and get your cable TV via Comcast (which now of course owns Universal), you will have the option of purchasing a (I presume) one-time viewing of the Ben Stiller/Eddie Murphy film for 'just' $59.99 just three weeks after the theatrical opening weekend (which I presume means the start of its fourth weekend in theaters). Other online or cable companies will allegedly have the option to offer this same service at the same time, but we'll see if anyone else bites. The price point is obviously intended to appeal for larger families or large groups of friends who don't have to see the newest releases right away, but don't want to wait until DVD and the other various home-video platforms.
If you live in LA, New York City, and I presume other big cities, a first-run evening ticket is about $12. So factor in a family of four seeing an evening show is going to run them $50 alone before concessions and any parking fees are included. Even in cities where tickets still remain under $10 (less than you'd think), the bill can easily end up topping $60 when you add in family-sized refreshments and the like. The difference between this VOD offering and last Spring's disastrous 'Premium VOD' is that this will offer consumers the chance to see the movie while it's still in first run theaters and well-before it's available on DVD and other OnDemand-type sources.
So while I can think of no one who would pay $60 to see a first-run film at home by themselves or even with another party, I do see the theoretical appeal of a bunch of friends or a larger family getting together and taking it in. What's your thoughts? Is this another botched attempt to circumvent the theatrical experience, or does the swiftness of said debut make it a more attractive option for larger parties?

Eddie Murphy will host the Oscars and Anderson Cooper will host the Winehouses
HollywoodNews.com: Eddie Murphy is the official host of the 2012 Oscars. The Academy named him today much to the delight of producer Brett Ratner. Ratner and Murphy will have had a big movie opening in November, "Tower Heist." Surely a hit, the film will be wave they can ride right into the February proceedings.
Why announce this so early? It helps promote "Tower Heist." And it eclipses what the Golden Globes will do with Ricky Gervais. I'm excited because with tributes to Oprah Winfrey and James Earl Jones, the Oscars will finally feel like a ceremony for everyone. It's about time. Here's hoping, though, that Billy Crystal will be involved, too, more than last time. The Oscars are already shaping up like a great night and we don't even know which movies will be nominated. (Well, we have an idea.)…
…Anderson Cooper kicks off his syndicated talk show next week. His first guests will be Amy Winehouse's family. That should be something. Will the Winehouses become the new generation Jacksons? The cash-in is right around the corner…

Eddie Murphy confirmed as Oscar host – AWARDS ALLEY
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: It's official: Eddie Murphy will be hosting next year's Academy Awards.
From the release:
Oscar nominee Eddie Murphy, whose performing career spans movies, television and the stage, will host this year's Academy Awards show on Sunday, February 26, 2012, telecast producers Brett Ratner and Don Mischer announced today. This will be Murphy's first hosting stint on the Oscars®.
"Eddie is a comedic genius, one of the greatest and most influential live performers ever," said Ratner. "With his love of movies, history of crafting unforgettable characters and his iconic performances – especially on stage – I know he will bring excitement, spontaneity and tremendous heart to the show Don and I want to produce in February."
Commented Mischer, "Eddie is a truly ground-breaking performer, whose amazingly diverse array of roles has won him a devoted audience of all ages. His quick wit and charisma will serve him very well as Oscar host."
"I am enormously honored to join the great list of past Academy Award hosts from Hope and Carson to Crystal, Martin and Goldberg, among others," said Murphy. "I'm looking forward to working with Brett and Don on creating a show that is enjoyable for both the fans at home and for the audience at the Kodak Theatre as we all come together to celebrate and recognize the great film contributions and collaborations from the past year."
Murphy began his career at the age of 15 as a stand-up comedian. In 1980, at the age of 19, he joined the cast of "Saturday Night Live," becoming the show's youngest cast member to that point, and bringing to life many of the show's most memorable characters. His 1983 album "Eddie Murphy: Comedian" won a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Recording. It included portions of his groundbreaking HBO special "Eddie Murphy Delirious." In 1987, "Eddie Murphy Raw" was theatrically released and went on to gross over $50 million. Murphy made his feature film debut in 1982 with the classic "48 Hrs." and would go on to star in such box-office hits as "Beverly Hills Cop" and the "The Nutty Professor" and "Shrek" franchises. All told, movies in which he has performed have earned in excess of $7 billion worldwide during their theatrical releases.
Murphy earned an Oscar nomination in 2006 for his supporting role in "Dreamgirls."

Should Eddie Murphy host the Oscars? – AWARDS ALLEY
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: Eddie Murphy's name has surfaced as the frontrunner to host the 84tht annual Academy Awards.
Brett Ratner, who has been tapped to produce the latest Oscar telecast, will meet with Academy president Tom Sherak on Tuesday to present his choices for host, and Deadline reports that Murphy leads the pack.
The connection makes sense on some level. Murphy's linked to Ratner now, having done the director's upcoming comedy "Tower Heist." The Academy favors comedians (Billy Crystal, Steve Martin) as hosts, and Murphy ruled the stage as a standup for large chunks of his career – though he hasn't performed live stand up in years, to my knowledge. He hasn't had to. His films, no matter what critics says, have earned a staggering $3 billion at the box office.
Murphy's presence as host would bring in a younger, more diverse audience who normally would have no interest in the Oscars. We have no doubt he's capable of handling the gig, if it were handed to him.
But why would he? Hosting the Oscars in a thankless job. Very few are commended. Most often, the talent selected as host only opens themselves up to the harshest criticisms. (Ask James Franco, who's still talking about last year's bomb.)
The Deadline piece says Murphy is "showing interest." But I wonder if he knows how much preparation goes into the hosting gig. It's hard work. Intense work. Yet the Deadline story mentions that Murphy is an extreme cinephile who worships the Oscars … so maybe he does understand the weight that comes with the gig, and he's ready to rise up and meet the challenge?
It would be an interesting choice. And ultimately, I'd rather focus on the films being nominated, and not the person introducing the presenters. But it might be Murphy. What do you think?

Brett Ratner on Oscar gig: Feels like "Twilight Zone" – AWARDS ALLEY
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: The news surprised everyone, including Brett Ratner himself.
The "Rush Hour" director, who is about to storm theaters with the promising ensemble comedy "Tower Heist," had been selected to team with Don Mischer to produce the 84th Academy Awards, which are set for Feb. 26, 2012.
So what was Ratner's reaction?
"When I first sat down with Tom [Sherak] and Dawn [Hudson], I almost felt like I was in 'The Twilight Zone.' I didn't know what to think," Ratner tells THR in an interview. "I was just trying to keep my cool. But then when I went to see Don, when I sat down with him, I felt so confident about it. The guy is just a pro. So I feel good going into it."
The director says he was approached by the Academy to help infuse a little comedy into the annual telecast … and if you saw James Franco in drag last year, you know that good humor is desperately needed.
"To their credit, Tom and Dawn really understand what is needed, and comedy is a big part of it, and I want to make that part of it," Ratner said. "I think that is going to be tremendous."
When asked what changes could be made from last year's telecast, Mischer admits, "Anything I ever do, the Olympics opening ceremony, the Super Bowl, you're always looking at things you'd like to change. We'll be looking at the past shows, going back to the early days, scouring them for ideas. The first thing we have to do is hire a creative team and then decide what our options and directions are."
They also said they haven't discussed possible hosts yet. But now that Ratner has a connection to Eddie Murphy through their collaboration on "Tower Heist," might we suggest the stand-up comedian for the gig? Purple or red leather suit is required, though.

Brett Ratner and Don Mischer will produce 84th Academy Awards telecast
HollywoodNews.com: Brett Ratner and Don Mischer will produce the 84th Academy Awards telecast, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Tom Sherak announced today. This will be Ratner's first involvement with the Oscar show; Mischer will for the second year in a row serve as a producer and as the telecast director.
"I was so impressed with Brett when I met with him to discuss the Oscar show," said Sherak. "He has an incredible love of film and its history and is a true student of the business of movies. He's unbelievably creative and knows how to take risks that are both interesting and inspiring. Together with Don Mischer – who, by the way, just earned an Emmy nomination for his work on the 83rd Academy Awards – I think these two will give us a fantastic Oscar show that you won't want to miss."
"I'm thrilled that Don will again bring his tremendous expertise to the Oscar telecast," said Academy CEO Dawn Hudson. "And Brett has a really smart and fresh take for the show. They have great chemistry, and their vision meshed so well with ours."
"Making movies has been my dream since childhood, and I've been fortunate enough to have made several, but the Oscar show is in a league of its own," said Ratner. "It will be fantastic to work with a live television master like Don to meld the glamour of legendary Hollywood with the enormous talents who thrill moviegoers today."
"The Academy Awards are in a class by themselves, and I'm elated that the Academy has asked me to return," said Mischer. "I hope to take the wealth of knowledge I now have about the Oscars, which is a completely unique kind of show, and work with Brett to create an evening that is fast-paced, fun, and memorable to movie fans and Oscar fans everywhere."
Ratner's work spans movies, including eight features; numerous television series; over 100 music videos; and a multitude of commercials. A native of Miami Beach, he is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where he now serves on the Dean's Council. He also serves on the Board of Trustees of Simon Wiesenthal Center. Ratner's next directorial release is "Tower Heist," due out in November, and he will soon begin directing "39 Clues" for DreamWorks, based on the popular young-adult book series published [...]
"Horrible Bosses" box numbers trigger sequel talk
By Sean O'Connell
Hollywoodnews.com: Audiences turned out this weekend to support the star-studded comedic ensemble "Horrible Bosses," which finds Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day plotting to kill Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell. The comedy nabbed an estimated $28 million in its opening weekend, giving it the No. 2 slot in the box office Top 10.
But would more people have turned out if the comedy starred Ashton Kutcher, Ryan Reynolds, Philip Seymour Hoffman or Johnny Knoxville, as originally planned?
In an interview with "Bosses" producer Brett Ratner, he revealed that the above actors all, at some point, were attached to the comedic premise. Casting options come and go in Hollywood, so it's no surprise that these names were floated (and eventually flopped).
But in the piece (which you can read HERE), Ratner also admits that sequel talk has begun, and the franchise could go in wildly different directions. Ratner, perhaps jokingly, said that while no plans for a follow up are in development at this time, titles like "Horrible Wives" and "Horrible Children" appeal to him.
What do you think? Is this a concept you want to see expanded? Or was "Bosses" a one-and-done hit? Let us know.

This Week in Movies By Pete Hammond
HollywoodNews.com: Two debuting comedies on different ends of the audience spectrum were upstaged by autobots and decepticons as the second week of Transformers: Dark Of The Moon held on to the number one slot at the boxoffice with a drop of only 52% for $47 million. That's impressive because an opening of the size this third edition of the Transformers franchise had would be expected to take a bigger tumble in its second weekend.
In fact the 2nd film in the series, Revenge of the Fallen did just that with a 61% dive. So good reviews, good word of mouth and of course those higher 3D ticket prices are keeping this one at Bay, so to speak. Say what you will about director Michael Bay. He knows how to deliver a blockbuster. This film should easily top the first two and ultimately be the number one grossing movie of 2011. It's already tallied $261 million domestically and is well on its way to over a billion worldwide. With next week's 3D juggernaut, the Harry Potter finale, in the wings expect a much bigger drop but Transformers has already proved its might.
Comedy, despite what an L.A. Times article said earlier in the week, is also still king at the box office and not an endangered species, particularly the raunchy kind exhibited by Judd Apatow's biggest grosser ever, Bridesmaids , The Hangover Part II and now this week by the very funny, extremely crude and deliciously wicked Horrible Bosses. This perfectly cast employee revenge flick makes the most of a terrific premise and took in an estimated $28 million to place second .
The very R-rated movie also scored a nice B+ Cinemascore rating and top reviews with a 75% fresh ranking at Rotten Tomatoes. And for a change it gives co-star Jennifer Aniston a chance to do something different as she plays (to the hilt) a sexually harassing dentist who wears revealing dental smocks which trying to seduce her assistant , hilariously played by Charlie Day. The entire cast which includes a seething Kevin Spacey and an almost non-recognizable Colin Farrell as well as Jasons, Bateman and Sudeikis really shine here. Perhaps it is a bit surprising that top critics have fallen for it the way they have but funny is FUNNY and Horrible Bosses delivers. [...]
'Six Feet Under's' Freddy Rodriguez to join 'Chaos?'
HollywoodNews.com: Chaos reigns.
The Brett Ratner produced CBS series about CIA agents is on again after nearly being killed by corporate network warfare.
Sources tell me that star Freddy Rodriguez, who was so good in "Six Feet Under" and the movie "Bobby," is all set to play the lead. The rest of the cast is secure as well, despite contrary reports.
CBS and 20th Century Fox Television will make "Chaos" as a joint venture for CBS TV after weeks of playing tug of war with Ratner and the show's creator.
At the center of their disagreements was money, of course, and location. CBS wanted to shoot "Chaos" in Dallas, where Ratner made "Prison Break." The only problem is, "Chaos" needs an international feel, with good locations and sets. Now that Ratner and co. have won the right to do the show properly, it will be returned to Hollywood.

This game is awesome, so I'm not even going to hide this one. But there will of course be some hurdles, the first being this:
No spoilers, no sharing and no hinting please. I may start posting hints if there are no solvers in a couple of days.
Hint #1: Did not really want to give hints for the checkpoint, but replied some comments below. Guess they should count as hints.
Hint #2: That encoding? It's not originally meant for obfuscation of plain text messages, ya know.
Hint #3: Checkpoint Two
Hint #4: If the hammer is giving you unsatisfactory results with it, it might not be a nail, so try another tool.
Hint #5: Being the very last hint that can reasonably be provided for the second step.
Hint #6: For the third step.
Hint #7: For the fourth and final step.
The quiz: All three questions are related to a certain book I love. I designed the first two questions to be obvious to those who read the books, but somewhat google-resistant (of course, this didn't stop some of you). I wanted to throw the third question in there, but could not think of a fair and memorable hook for it, so I went the "easily google-able" route.
Q1: George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four contains an appendix named "The Principles of Newspeak" which details the usage of the language that is one of the major themes of the book. In this essay, Orwell explains that any older text dealing with concepts like human equality or political freedom cannot be rendered in Newspeak, which is specifically engineered to limit the range of human thought. He says that one way to translate such texts into Newspeak is by replacing the whole thing with the word "crimethink".
Q2: In Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse-Five, there is an alien race, Tralfamadorians, who experience "time" just as we experience "space". For them, history is unchanging, and every moment from The Beginning to The End always exists in the same point in the timeline, waiting for them, should they choose to "visit" it. They see death as simply one immovable point in an individual's timeline where the person "is not feeling very well". In the book, whenever a death is mentioned, it is followed by Tralfamadorians' standard refrain about death: "so it goes".
Q3: The sentence in quotes is not uttered exactly by the character in the book (I guess it's from the movie, which kinda sucked) but as a phrase, it is easily google-able. Of course, the answer is the name of the kind gentleman who designed our fjords, as revealed in Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: "Slartibartfast".
Upon passing the quiz checkpoint, you are awarded with a pastebin link, which contains Base64-encoded data.
This Base64 string, when decoded and saved as a binary file, produces a password-protected ZIP file, which contains a single file named "alice wants to send a message".
In cryptography, Alice always wants to send a message to bob, so that is the password. Even if guesswork or google-fu failed, this weak password could easily be brute-forced.
Inside the ZIP is a plain text file, which contains loads of ones and zeroes. This binary data actually represents a 55x6 black and white bitmap. Easiest way to see the "image", would be opening the file in a text editor (with a monospace font) and splitting it into 55-character lines. Replacing all the zeroes with spaces also helps.
For the last step, if any of the books I mentioned are still unread by you, go ahead and try to make time for them. It might very well be a better use of your time than any of the games we may or may not win here.
Thanks for playing.

Not that I'm complaining, but 'Billy Pilgrim was assassinated.' isn't a question. What can we respond to a simple statement ? The other 2 kinda make sense.
yeah, I've tried different entries but actually I've no idea what is needed there and before I start q1, I wanna solve q2 first :(
same here :(
Why would you say that a plain statement cannot have a response? One can even respond to a sneeze -- "bless you".
Solved #2 & #3. Seems like Q1 is about thorough translation and deep knowledge of Newspeak though...
Elementary knowledge is sufficient. You don't even need a dictionary.
O_O Are you sure, it was there at the start
Yup. Also, that other solver? It's not me either.
No, that's me. But the second checkpoint seems more secure.
Then there is no hope :)
I just made it past the checkpoint, and I'm stuck there as well.
A quick note for those who tried and gave up: The giveaway now has 1 entry by the first full solver.
Rekindle those flames of hope within you, fellow souls!
I'd love another hint for part 2. I'll keep thinking anyway though :)
Edit: Oh, I'm really close now. It would seem that am only half right though. I'm getting part of it, but there a lot of weird parts left.
Focus especially on hint #2, as it applies to where you are now.
Using hint #3, I can solve the second checkpoint. But the text that the second checkpoint gives me makes no sense.
I agree - still don't know what to do after all that.
The text I got from decrypting the encrypted text is full of weird parts that I can't understand. I can solve the second checkpoint (the second puzzle link in the top post), but as I said, the text that the second checkpoint gives me makes no sense.
The second checkpoint is not a puzzle. The second checkpoint IS the hint #3.
Ah, yes I understand that. But the text it's giving me by solving it makes no sense to me.
Me either - I don't see what you're telling us is there.
Agreed, a puzzle requires a specific answer. Which Q1 doesn't
Actually it does, if you know a little about Newspeak.
The thing is, I think that I've read too much about Newspeak rules because I've rewritten the text thoroughly and it doesn't fit the answer.
You're probably thinking too hard about it.
Solved checkpoint two. I guess this is where i stop :\ figured the hint 4 before you've posted it, because the hint 2 helps a lot. Still, getting lots of gibberish when i try it.
We now have two full solvers, one of which was kind enough to participate even though xe had the game.
We now have five hints, four of which are related to the same step. *sigh*
We now have eighteen hours left on the clock.
Thanks for all the hints. I don't see what hint 4 offers that you wouldn't already know if you'd understood hint #3. I must be looking at this the wrong way.
Agreed. I'm having the same problem as I believe you, and Konata, have.
After 5-6 hours, it's getting a bit frustrating. :) I don't see how hint 3 is helpful, i had just googled it and found the answer even before "decrypting" the text in which the answer is. And when i "decrypt it" besides the obvious sentence i see lots of gibberish which isn't helpful in any way. I would've given up if it weren't Alice: Madness Returns :)
Y'all keep talkin' 'bout sum' text.
Please kindly refer to hint number two.
Yup, i've been overthinking it, i'm laughing my ass now for all the stupid shit i tried to do :) Oh well, need a password now, let's see what i can do about it :3
Ok, made it, can't translate what's inside to save my life -_-
yeah, i guess it's not the obvious solution, but anything else escapes my mind.
Good puzzle tho, the only one i've invested so much time into. :)
<GLaDOS Voice>Pity. Especially when you are at the very last step. Oh well.</>
Well, if it isn't binary, i haven't got a clue what it could be :P Never played a puzzle like this one, lack of experience is what's dragging me down :3 Bloody hell, i even wrote a code in python to change 1 to 0 and vice versa in hope that it would help >_< btw: tell me if i should delete my comment if it gives away too much
Well, it IS binary, but in a different sense.
Tried morse, tried painting it different colors, none of it helped. Haven't got any more ideas of what to do, but you DID help me out here, made me think outside the usual line of thinking.
Look closer.
I see your tool :) I don't know how to view the result
And I think I understand your last hint, I just checked and haven't got a program for it at this time. Wonder how I've gone a year without it on my new PC.
Huh. Well I solved checkpoint 2... but not checkpoint 1. I guess I still need to solve that to go further? =\
The second checkpoint is not a puzzle. The second checkpoint is a hint.
Eh I only started and solved q1 and q3, but for q2 I ran out of options for the time being, but sadly don't really have time for serendipity/background processing. Pity, as your stuff seems fun judging by the hints I think I can predict pretty well what's going on later on.
If you promise to read the whole book afterwards, I can safely hint that you'll know it by the end of chapter two, if not earlier.
Oops. Replied to wrong post. Wish there was a way to edit or delete replies.
If you promise to read the whole book afterwards, I can safely hint that you'll know it by the end of chapter two, if not earlier.
In private, of course. Not here in front of everybody.
It's already in my pile of books to read, just below Cat's Cradle. :)
Very nice puzzle and quite frankly with all the hints it's solvable pretty fast. C'mon people you can do it!
Yup, the hints make it definitely easier. If only I could solve the last part...
AAAAAAND... it's done!
Awesome puzzle, thanks Ishmaeel!
The hints do help when you're at that certain part, but the end is driving me insane -_-
Thank you, fellow soul. Enjoy the game!
I don't think I'll get the final step in the next few minutes. Thanks for all your effort in putting this together and for walking us through the more complicated parts. If you have the time, I'd like to see an explanation once this is over.
Yeah, I'm stuck and I don't think I'll make it either. Would love an explanation as well later though :)
Thank you too. I posted the solution.
Wish I was able to get checkpoint one. Seemed like a good, hard puzzle and I wanted Alice! Interested to see the solution so I can check out the puzzle.
Which one did you have problem with (since it's over, I'd guess that I can tell what I answered)?
I too wish you could make it. Perhaps next time. I posted the solution.
That works with any archive programs (7-Zip, WinRar, etc...).

Built entirely from ship wrecked wood in 1901, the Inn has served many purposes over the years. It has been the village's school, a dance parlor, an ice cream shop, an army barracks during World War II and has finally settled into its most fitting role as a Historic Inn.
The Inn is listed in the National Registry of Historic Places and nestled in the village's Historic District, facing Silverlake Harbor. Each of our rooms is uniquely decorated in antique furnishings. The Inn itself does not accommodate children (as it has only double and King sized beds and is best for couples only). However, our luxuries villas - added in 2003 - are perfect for families and couples who are looking for a more inclusive accommodation.
All of our rooms and villas are non-smoking. Some offer panoramic views of the harbor.
We have been featured in many publications including, Southern Living, Conde' Naste Travel Guide, The Saturday Evening Post and Fodor's, to name a few.

Fighters from the al-Shabab group have captured the Somali town of Baidoa and seized the parliament building just hours after Ethiopian troops pulled out of the country, witnesses said.
Mohammed Sheikh Nur, a journalist based in Mogadishu, told Al Jazeera that al-Shabab fighters had also taken control of the airport and the presidential palace.
"They are now in full control of the town and have urged people to stay calm. There have been injuries [as a result of the clashes] but no deaths so far," he said.
Sheikh Mukhtar Robow, a spokesman of the al-Shabab, said: "The town is completely in our hands. We have taken control of Baidoa today."
His group has vowed to carry on fighting and impose its strict version of Islamic law throughout the country.
Due to the poor security situation, Somalia's parliament has been meeting in neighbouring Djibouti, aiming to elect a new president following the resignation of Abdullahi Yusuf Ahmed last month.
Next president
On Monday, the parliament voted to double its size, allowing 200 members from the opposition Alliance for the Re-Liberation of Somalia (ARS) to join.
Timeline: Somalia
The United Nations is mediating between the different sides in Djibouti.
Ahmedou Ould-Abdallah, the UN's envoy to Somalia, welcomed the parliamentary reform.
"I am extremely encouraged by this vote and I would like to thank Somalia's leaders, the parliamentarians and all those who have helped work towards such a positive step," he said.
After the new members are sworn in, the parliament is expected to elect a new president.
Sheikh Sharif Ahmed, the head of the Islamic Courts Union and the more moderate wing of the ARS, announced on Monday that he would be running for the country's presidency after the parliament voted to accept members of the opposition alliance.
"I will do all that I can to serve honestly if elected president," Ahmed said.At least 16 other candidates, including Nur Hassan Hussein, the current prime minister, and his predecessor Ali Mohamed Gedi have also shown interest in becoming the next president.

Capital One: How I Beat the Best With a 37% Stock Rocket
(Adds Wednesday's market close information, updated returns and stock ratios.)
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- On some occasions, the obstructionists can be your friends.
When I was asked to pick a bank stock for 2012 as part of the 10 Best Stocks for 2012 series at InvestorPlace, I looked beyond the obvious choices of Bank of America (BAC) and Citigroup (C), both of which had fallen significantly, in order to select a much more profitable bank that had suffered because of delays by regulators in approving two key acquisitions.
Through Wednesday's close at $57.79, Capital One was in first place among the 10 Best Stocks for 2012 at InvestorPlace, trailed by Turkcell (TKC), which was selected by Charles Sizemore, a registered investment advisor who is also the founder and editor of the Sizemore Investment Letter. Capital One's shares are up 37% this year, while Turkcell is up 33%, closing at $15.66.I chose Capital One on Dec. 16, 2011. The shares had outperformed most of the largest U.S. banks, returning 7% from the start of January 2011 to close at $43.05 on Dec. 15, 2011, while the KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) declined 27%, Bank of America plummeted 60% and Citigroup sank 45%. Capital One's shares had pulled back 20% (on a total return basis, including reinvested dividends) from their closing 2011 high May 19. At that time, Bank of America was trading for just 0.4 times tangible book value, while Citigroup was trading for half its tangible book value. Capital One was much more expensive in a stressed environment for bank stocks, at 1.4 times tangible book value, according to SNL Financial, and also was solidly profitable, with returns on average assets (ROA) ranging from 1.42% and 2.08% over the preceding five quarters. So why pick Capital One, when Bank of America and Citigroup had so much potential for recovery, since they had already fallen so far? After all, going with "last year's losers" has been a fantastic strategy for 2012, with Bank of America's shares returning 109% through Wednesday's close at $11.55, while Citigroup was up 50%, closing at $39.55. In December 2011, my inclination was to make a conservative pick of a company with a strong earnings track record, limited downside risk (because of strong earnings) and some sort of "edge," which for Capital One was the softness in the shares from the delayed acquisition approvals.

Ledford, Bishop take conference honors
Ledford, in the Mid-Piedmont 3A, and Bishop McGuinness, in the Northwest 1A, took conference honors in Wells Fargo Cup standings for the 2013-14 academic year.
In most conferences, points are awarded based on participation and standings in conference play. Each conference determines its own method of awarding points.
Ledford, helped by a first in softball and second in men's golf and women's outdoor track, finished with 95 points in MPC standings — 14 more than runner-up Asheboro. The Blue Comets edged Central Davidson for second by a half-point.
Western Guilford was third, Southwestern Randolph fourth, North Forsyth fifth and Southern Guilford sixth.
Bishop, which won championships in men's golf and tennis plus women's soccer, topped the Northwest 1A with 104.5 points. Mount Airy was second with 93, followed by East Surry, North Stokes, Walkertown, Atkins and Winston-Salem Prep.
Randleman won the PAC-6 2A with 78.5 points, three more than Wheatmore. Trinity was third with 67, followed by Providence Grove, Eastern Randolph and T.W. Andrews.
Salisbury was tops in the Central Carolina 2A. West Davidson was second, East Davidson third, Lexington fourth, North Rowan fifth and Thomasville sixth.
Northwest Guilford finished first in the Piedmont Triad 4A. Ragsdale was second, followed by East Forsyth, Southwest Guilford, High Point Central and Glenn.

A good and testing round
A beautiful tight course requiring thought and good shot placement. Don't be put off by its length as it will suit the golfer who thinks a lot and doesn't necessarily power their way around a course.
Many of the holes require care to negotiate the two streams and bunkers. Golfers who play regularly know only too well that the 9th hole, stroke index one, needs to be mastered if a reasonable score is to be achieved.
An accurate tee shot avoiding the out of bounds on the right has to be made leaving a mid iron into the green; choose a driver and you can have a nightmare. A good test of golf on a short course.
Normal opening hours apply on all other days.

Y'all remember Bo and Luke Duke. They fight the system. And in Hazzard -- the county built on moonshine, run by dynamic duo Boss Hogg and Sheriff Rosco Pervis Coltrane -- that equals car chases, explosions, and cousin Daisy (or an RV whorehouse!) serving as decoy. What could be more fun and frisky than The Dukes of Hazzard's first 13 episodes? The special features accompanying them in this DVD set.
Since the General Lee received HALF the show's fan mail, good ol' NASCAR boys praise the Dodge Charger's handling in an inspired salute to ''Dukes'' driving. Fans who marveled more at the alignment of 18-year-old John Schneider (Bo) may prefer ''The 20th Anniversary Hazzard County Barbecue,'' a cast reunion that's wonderfully awkward and amusing -- as when James ''Rosco'' Best recalls surprising Catherine Bach with a Polaroid of himself wearing nothing but a hat, holster, boots, and a smile.
Even more revealing is Schneider and Bach's commentary, which, sadly, runs only during the pilot episode. While she ponders how the women's movement could not ''enjoy'' her -- though Daisy does some ass kickin' in those assbarin' shorts -- he drops some serious trivia: Who once crashed at Best's place? Quentin Tarantino. How did the General Lee score that Dixie horn? An exec producer bought it off the driver of an El Camino that sped past the Boars Nest bar on the Covington, Ga., set. Just one question: Why is Tom Wopat (Luke) entirely MIA from the extras? Don't go and tell us the mountain got him.

10 Best Beer States of 2011
WASHINGTON ( TheStreet) -- Some states will let insults about their air quality, road conditions, beaches, cities or even accents pass without blinking an eye. Insult their beer, however, and it's go time.
Even as the Treasury Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau reports that overall U.S. beer sales decreased 1% by volume last year, the number of breweries in the U.S. jumped to 1,759, according to the Brewers Association. That's the highest count since the end of the 19th century. That number rose to 1,790 by July and doesn't include the 725 breweries in the planning stages.
According to Paul Gatza, director of the Brewers Association, that puts the majority of Americans within 10 miles of a brewery. Excluding only Tennessee, Rhode Island, Ohio, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Alaska, Illinois, Louisiana and Washington, D.C., the amount of beer being brewed in those nearby breweries only increased within the past decade, according to figures from Washington-based industry group The Beer Institute's 2010 almanac.Just as some states are being left out of the beer bash, some companies are getting to the keg just as it kicks. Anheuser-Busch InBev (BUD) and MolsonCoors (TAP) each saw business drop 3% last year and continue a downward trend as such importers as Diageo-Guinness USA (DEO) (whose sales increased 3.9% last year) and craft brewers including Samuel Adams producer Boston Beer (SAM) (which increased sales nearly 12%) siphoned off their market share. Sales of imported beers were up 5% on the whole last year, while craft beer led the charge with 11% growth by volume and 12% growth in revenue. Those gains only continued for hyperlocal craft beer, with a 14% jump in sales volume and 15% in their take through June, according to the Brewers Association. That said, beer has become an increasingly local point of pride that states will defend to the bitter, hop-flavored end. But what states can most legitimately call themselves "beer states?" We took a close look at stats provided by the Brewers Association and Beer Institute and, based on four key criteria -- production, consumption, breweries and breweries per capita -- came up with the 10 top beer states in America. There were some tough omissions, and we're sure the inbox will be filled with a lot of hate from strong producers such as Pennsylvania (8.9 million barrels last year alone) and strong supporters such as North Dakota (whose three breweries rank dead last in the U.S., but whose nearly 30 gallons a year in per capita consumption rank third), but these 10 laid out strong arguments for their spot on the tap wall:

Quote #10
Morten Kiil: "Do you know what money I have bought these shares with? […] It is the money that Katherine and Petra and the boys will have when I am gone. […] the whole of the money is invested in the Baths now. (5.171-173)
Kiil is trying to use money as a weapon against his son-in-law. Of everyone who tries to tempt the Doctor to betray his principles, Kiil gets the closest. Here the money is directly tied to the well being of Dr. Stockmann's family. Ultimately, Kiil's attempt to gain power over the Doctor fails, but the fact that Dr. Stockmann briefly considers backing down seems to show just how strong a force wealth can be.
