EU talking to IMF, World Bank, others about Ukraine assistance
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European officials are in discussion with the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank and other major financial institutions on ways to help Ukraine if it decides to sign a free-trade agreement with the European Union.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov was quoted as saying on Wednesday he had asked the EU for 20 billion euros ($27 billion) in aid to offset the cost of signing the EU deal, which Kiev backed away from last month in favor of closer ties with Russia, sparking huge street protests and a financial crisis.
Mandela, a natural charmer with the measure of those he met
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Thousands upon thousands of people, great and small, met Nelson Mandela, and as a correspondent in South Africa from 1997-2000, I was fortunate to be among them.
During his presidency and in the early years of his retirement from office, Mandela made a point of meeting as many of the people who beat a path to his door as possible.
Six months to go, momentum builds ahead of EU parliament vote
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Next May's elections to the European Parliament promise to be among the most closely watched since the 1970s, with many in Europe expected to show their frustration with the economic crisis by voting for anti-EU or protest parties.
While that analysis has become the received wisdom, political experts are less convinced, suggesting that while there may be an increase in protest votes, it's unlikely to be anywhere near as large as some have predicted.
IMF postpone visit to Athens in dispute over reform
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – International inspectors from the EU and IMF have called off a planned visit to Greece next week, officials told Reuters on Friday, a move that marks a new low in relations between the parties and could delay aid payments to Athens.
The decision to postpone the visit may be an attempt by the European Central Bank, European Commission and International Monetary Fund – together known as the 'troika' – to bring Athens to heel as frustration grows over Greece's failure to complete the reforms it has promised in return for aid.
EU leaders set for frosty dinner with Ukraine's Yanukovich
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European leaders will come face-to-face with Viktor Yanukovich on Thursday for the first time since the Ukrainian president spurned their offer of a free-trade deal and decided to seek closer ties with Russia instead.
In a meeting that promises to be one of the frostier moments of political theatre this year, Yanukovich plans to attend a dinner in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius to honor the Eastern Partnership, the EU's four-year-old program of outreach to former Soviet states.
Police, pro-Europe protesters clash in Ukraine, EU condemns Russia
BRUSSELS/KIEV (Reuters) – The European Union expressed strong disapproval on Monday over Russia's pressure on Ukraine to reject an EU trade deal, while police fired tear gas at pro-Europe protesters in the former Soviet republic's capital, Kiev.
Ukraine had been expected to sign a far-reaching trade and political association agreement with the EU at a summit in Vilnius on Friday. But it suddenly announced last week it had decided to seek closer trade relations with Moscow instead.
Exclusive: Euro zone mulls cheap loans as incentive for economic reforms -document
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – Euro zone states are considering cheap loans to member governments as an incentive to carry out economic reforms by sweetening the short-term pain, an EU document showed, introducing a discussion on fiscal transfers.
The proposal did not specify how exactly the loans could be financed, mentioning only a European Commission idea from March that it could be either through direct contributions from governments or through designating a new revenue source.

EU loses out on Ukraine, but may have dodged a bullet
BRUSSELS, Nov 22 (Reuters) – In post-Soviet Europe, Russia
looks to have won a decisive victory by convincing Ukraine to
reject a trade deal with the European Union and deepen ties with
Moscow instead.
But the EU has reason to breathe a sigh of relief, too.
Once any sense of rejection or thwarted ambition passes, the
reality remains that taking Ukraine under its wing, a highly
indebted country of 46 million people stricken by corruption and
unpredictable politics, could have proven a costly and difficult
burden for the EU, at least in the short-term.
EU studies options in tense countdown to Ukraine deal
BRUSSELS (Reuters) – European officials are considering a range of options to keep alive plans for Ukraine to sign an EU free-trade agreement at a summit in Vilnius on November 29, despite President Viktor Yanukovich's failure to deliver on his commitments so far.
While Ukraine still has 10 days to meet calls for judicial reforms and other steps – including a resolution in the case of jailed former prime minister Yulia Tymoshenko – time is rapidly running out, and contingency plans are taking shape.

This weekend, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice got a taste of her life that almost was.
Onstage at the Aspen Music Festival and School, Rice, once an aspiring concert pianist, performed in public for the first time since becoming America's top diplomat.
Playing in a quintet with current students at the festival, Rice performed a variety of a challenging selections, including one from German composer Johannes Brahms that Rice admitted she has struggled to learn for years. She also performed a piece by the Czech composer Antonin Dvorak.
Rice is an avid classical music fan (in addition to an admitted penchant for 1960s rock group Cream), and calls herself an "unabashed devotee" of Brahms. Rice says she still finds time to practice piano weekly and plays monthly with a chamber music group.
"I do keep up my piano," Rice told reporters in 2006. "It's very important to me."
It was after attending this same festival 36 years ago that Rice decided to abandon her dream of becoming a concert pianist.
As a 17-year-old sophomore at the University of Denver, Rice was a music major with big dreams, who had started learning to play the piano from her grandmother at the age of three.
"I could read music before I could read. And I was absolutely certain that I was going to end up playing at Carnegie Hall," Rice said onstage prior to her performance on Saturday.
Her first appearance at the Aspen Music Festival, however, quickly changed a young Condoleezza Rice's mind.
"After listening to some of the 11- and 12-year-olds play, who could play from sight everything it had taken me all year to learn, I thought, 'you know, you're going to end up playing at Nordstrom or a piano bar, but not Carnegie Hall,'" she said.
The experience convinced Rice to abandon her musical ambitions, but it also left her without a major.
Her parents, perhaps after spending so much money on piano lessons, were less than pleased with their daughter's new lack of direction.
Last fall, Rice recalled that encounter with her parents during a speech at the Cornerstone School in Washington D.C.:
"Me:'Mom and Dad, I'm changing my major.'
"Dad: 'To what are you changing your major?'
"Me: 'I don't know. I'm just changing it.'
"Dad: 'You're going to end up a waitress at Howard Johnson's because you don't know what you want to be.'
"Me: 'I would rather be a waitress at Howard Johnson's than teach piano. After all, it's my life.'
"Dad: 'Yes, but after all, it's our money. Find a major.'"
Fortunately, Rice wandered into an international politics class taught by former Czech diplomat Josef Korbel, the father of former Secretary of State Madeline Albright.
Rice was inspired and decided she wanted to become a specialist on the Soviet Union.
This spring, during a speech at a Peace Corps conference, she recalled her parents' reaction.
"I went home and I said, 'You know, I want to be a specialist on the Soviet Union.' And my parents kind of rolled their eyes and thought, 'right, so a specialist on the Soviet Union, great, at least sounds like a slightly better career path than you were on.'"
The rest is history. Rice went on to pursue her master's and doctorate degrees. She joined the faculty at Stanford University before serving in President George H. W. Bush's White House as a Soviet expert.
She would return to Stanford, eventually becoming provost for six years. It was at this time, Rice says, that she started studying the piano seriously again.

Posted 03 December 2012 - 04:19 PM
Hi, so I upgraded OTA(over the air) my non rooted device to ICS. I didnt like the faults, and so reverted back to gingerbread. I however want to upgrade to CM9 but was wondering if I NEED my device to be rooted 1st or if I can do it with out? And would people universally say that this is the best rom out at the moment? Thanks
No you need install drivers for your PC/Laptop . Then you have to root then install CWM and then you can flash your favorite ROM.
About best ROM there is no best depends on which you like. According to this recent poll infusion seems to be the most popular.
Read this thread it has everything you'll need http://www.modaco.co...age__mode__show Thank's to arranhs
Before flashing a new ROM it's always a good idea to:
***create a backup****
*wipe data/factory reset
*wipe cache partition
*go to Mounts and Storage and select format /system
*go to advanced and Wipe Dalvik Cache
*Fix Permissions
Reboot and enjoy your new rom.
Hope it helps

BEN BOVA: March 6, 2011 ... Writing fiction is simple ... until it gets difficult
The Prussian Carl von Clausewitz wrote in his classic book, "On War" (1832): "Everything is very simple in war, but the simplest thing is difficult."
It is much the same with writing fiction. Everything is really very simple. But even the simplest thing can be difficult.
Basically, a piece of fiction deals with a character struggling to solve a problem. That's all there is to it. Create a character, give that character a problem and allow the character to struggle to solve that problem.
The devil, as they say, is in the details.
When I was editing magazines such as Analog Science Fiction and, later, Omni, I read thousands of story manuscripts. It was distressing how few of their writers understood the basis that forms the backbone of all stories: a character struggling to solve a problem.
Think about all the stories you know. Going back to the Old Testament, to Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey," even further back to the ancient Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh, every story is built around a character struggling to solve a problem.
Abraham's problem was to obey the will of his God, even when his God demanded the sacrifice of Abraham's son. Odysseus' problem was to get back to Ithaca after the fall of Troy, back to his wife and son, despite all the obstacles that the gods and fate threw in his path. Gilgamesh wanted nothing less than to solve the riddle of death.
People still read those stories because they still speak to us about eternal human values, human strengths, human weaknesses.
Give the story's central character a powerful, soul-wrenching, life-changing problem. Love or despair. Success or bitter defeat. Life or death. Make that problem so intense that the character won't be the same person once it is resolved, one way or the other.
It's disappointing that so many courses in writing fiction fail to point out this basic foundation. Many a writer with a master of fine arts degree finds it impossible to make a living in the commercial publishing world. They become teachers instead, and perpetuate the problem.
Maybe there's a story idea in there!
OK, a story consists of a character struggling to solve a problem. How does a writer create a plot?
Essentially, the plot is nothing more than the record of how the character goes about solving his or her problem. To me, the character and the problem generate the plot. It's simple. But even the simplest …
You start with a central character; the story is about him or her. Often this is called "the viewpoint character," because the story is told from his or her point of view.
Usually, the viewpoint character's problem involves conflict against another character. The main character of a story, the "good guy," is called the protagonist. The "bad guy" is the antagonist. Their conflict creates the story's plot.
When I write a story I don't waste any time trying to outline its plot, point by point, scene by scene. Too constricting. I just put the protagonist and the antagonist into a setting and let them battle it out. Voila! There's your plot.
To generate suspense, to keep the reader turning pages and wondering what's going to happen next, the writer creates a series of smaller problems. A good story is like a steeplechase: the characters have to clear one hurdle after another as they head toward the home stretch and the solution to the protagonist's major, overwhelming, life-changing problem.
The trick is never to solve one of these minor problems until another one (or two, or more) appears on the horizon. Then, at the climax of the story, the protagonist not only settles all these small problems, but the major, central problem as well.
The good guy wins, if the story is optimistic, upbeat. Or maybe loses, if the story is downbeat. In some stories the protagonist wins, but the victory costs his or her life. That is the classic definition of a tragedy.
That's how commercial fiction is constructed.
It's all about that character struggling to solve a central problem.
How do you create a memorable character? It's simple. But even the simplest things can be very difficult.

34 year old man | Chicago, IL, USA | Seeking women 25-32 within 20 miles
Fun loving, hard working and a bit sarcastic former country boy turned city dweller looking for a partner in crime.
I know it's a cliche on here but I'm not a bar scene flirt. I love going out but it's more to relax and wind down or watch sports. I figure there is much better chance of finding someone interesting on the ole match. I am optimistic person with a fun, witty sense of humor, but will crack up to just about anything. Love to unwind after work over beers and great conversation or taking a walk with my bulldog. I'm looking for someone to explore the city, travel, and maybe a lazy Sunday on the couch watching movies. Someone career minded and hardworking as I am. I secretly want to leave the city and live on some tropical island, still working on that as those kind of plans seem to change every few months. I like to live an active lifestyle but who doesn't say that. Bike to work when I can, join as many sports leagues as possible. Used to camp, hunt, fish a ton back in Virginia but find that stuff little harder down town, but i'd try anything once. Most of all I'm looking for someone to connect with, talk about the day and what we'll do tomorrow or over the weekend together. Some one who will laugh at my jokes even if they're nerdy and actually laughing at me. Got to love music of all sorts, classic rock, blues, punk, country, hip hop, and going to concerts is a must. As for my history, I grew up in Virginia just about 70 miles west of DC. Close enough to city but definitely in the mountains, so I guess I'm a country boy at heart but I do enjoy this city. Went to school in southern Virginia and studied computer science. Worked as a programmer for a few years then decided to move into user interface design and that's what brought me the city last year. Packed up the dog and a truck and made my way north for a job. Since then I've started my own company and have been loving it ever since.

Married at First Sight Exclusive InterviewBy Gerri Miller
An interview with Greg Epstein, Married at First Sight's spiritual advisor on the show and how to help interfaith couples #ChooseLoveGo To Pop Culture

The Temple Where I "Grew Up"
The other day I saw a rabbi I know post a YouTube link to one of my favorite versions of the prayer, Hashkiveinu. Hashkiveinu is one word in English but means, "Grant that we may lie down" in Hebrew. In Hebrew, prefixes and suffixes are attached to the word. It is a petitionary prayer to be able to lie down in peace at night and to return to renewed life the following day.
The link on Facebook to the video caught my eye for two reasons: As I said, I love this musical rendition of this prayer. Also, this rabbi serves the congregation where I grew up, Temple Shalom of Newton, MA.
What does it mean to grow up at a synagogue? For me, I had heard stories from my dad about how his parents were among the earliest members. My dad had his
What does it mean to grow up at a synagogue? I knew the halls of that place. I knew the smells, the classrooms, the chapel, the sanctuary, the bathrooms, the youth lounge, the social hall—I knew the building. My confirmation class photograph is on the wall there. In fact, I sat in the Rabbi's study on more than one occasion philosophizing about God and Judaism (true, I was into this stuff, even as a kid). I felt at home there. I slept there in a sleeping bag on the floor as a teenager at a "shul-in." I remember the Temple Shalom sukkah in detail even though the last time I helped decorate one was at least 20 years ago. I can still feel the pride I felt praying with my family in the sanctuary on the High Holidays, wearing my new dress. I can see my brothers as I write this, quietly folding the flyers and tickets into origami to keep occupied during the services.
Some say bricks and mortar don't matter. Buildings are passé. We've got coffee houses now. Millennials don't want to walk into synagogues. Too many barriers. A building fund is too onerous for members to carry. What's important are the people. The community. This is also true. But, I loved that building and it went through changes and renovations and has a life of its own. I think one reason I felt so connected to the building was that I could walk there from my house. That is how we got to and from Hebrew School. It is rare today for kids to walk places by themselves (at least not as young as we used to). I loved that independence, and going to a place I felt was totally safe and mine.
What does it mean to grow up at a synagogue? It means you know the people. We knew the people who worked in the office, the maintenance crew, the teachers, the educators and the rabbis. These were the people who lived in the temple as far as I was concerned. They were the familiar faces who knew us by name. They were welcoming and warm. They kept the temple going. And, my friends were there. We came together from multiple public schools. We grew up there together. We came to one another's Bar and Bat Mitzvah services. We had our parties in the synagogue social hall. My parents knew the other parents and the kids.
I learned to read Hebrew there. I may not have known how to translate each word into English but I learned to read the Hebrew prayers in Hebrew fluently by about fifth grade. I kept the old blue Gates of Prayer Book—the Reform Movement's prayer book—on my nightstand growing up, which I received from Temple Shalom. A nameplate was placed in it for me at my Bat Mitzvah. I read the prayers to myself at night and they were a source of comfort.
My parents have now moved to Philadelphia to be near my little brother's family. We have no ties to this building anymore. We don't know many people who still go there. Yet, all these years later, when I see a Facebook post from Temple Shalom, it catches my eye. It makes me smile to see the new life that is there now. It is a part of me.
I marry lots of people who "grew up at an area congregation" but they left after their Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Maybe they have great and deep memories of being there. Maybe they barely remember their time there.
The only way one feels a sense of growing up in a synagogue is if you are there a lot and get really involved. I am thankful this was the case for me and my family growing up. It's never too late to go back. It's never too late to try a new congregation. Interfaith families are welcome at congregations, often with wide open arms.
Look through our listings for congregations that explicitly welcome interfaith couples and families, and check out this list of organizations hosting InterfaithFamily Shabbat events this month!
10 Months for 2
The need to belong is part of the human condition. We all want to feel a sense of home, we seek it out, we write songs and poetry about it and we hold on for dear life when we find it. I figured out how to belong to Judaism at camp.
My Jewish camp was the Union for Reform Judaism's Joseph Eisner Camp in Great Barrington, MA. I still remember the first time I drove up to the gates, sick with nerves, worried if I could fit in. I also remember the tear-streaked ride home those two months later when I was grounded by such a deep sense of belonging the likes of which I had never felt before.
Each winter, as the countdown for those bright summer days began, we would throw around the term, "10 months for 2." I suspect that if Twitter had existed in those days, it would have become my favorite hashtag. And this was the reality that we felt deep within our pre-teen and teenage souls; that we lived those ten other months of the year in exile, waiting to return to the holy land once more for those two precious months. Oh, how much we could cram into 60 days.
At camp, I could not only figure out who I was but I could also be anything. I lived in Jewish time and space, where days were marked with fun and creative prayer and song, where we interacted with Israelis on staff who taught us about Israel and connected us to the larger Jewish world, where we learned and shared a common vocabulary and sang familiar Jewish songs in a way I had never experienced at my home synagogue. And because we lived in Jewish time, swimming, arts and crafts, drama and every sport imaginable became part of our Jewish summer camp experience. We were given ownership over our religious experiences and we celebrated Shabbat (and I truly mean celebrated) each week with creativity, music, dance and our own words of gratitude and introspection. I didn't even realize how much Jewish knowledge I had gained in these series of two months until I got home and realized I knew every melody and every prayer and wanted to teach them to my interfaith parents and my friends (even if they weren't as keen).
I imagine we all have those transformative experiences in our lives, the ones we think back to regularly, which we credit for our personal growth and identity. Mine was Eisner Camp and I would hazard a guess that the large majority of my fellow campers and counselors would say the same, even though we have all chosen our own, different paths through life. My path led me to the rabbinate, to wanting to make Judaism as alive and vibrant every day as it felt during those summers, to help everyone who wanted to belong to Judaism and the Jewish community and to create connections and friendships that last a lifetime.
The impact that Eisner Camp had on my life is immeasurable because these ten years later, the mere thought of camp makes me smile and remember a million experiences, moments, songs, sounds and people. Writing this blog post alone reminds me of the hot sweaty perfect Friday night song sessions, the trials and tribulations of camp friendships and the moment my team won Maccabiah (color war). I wouldn't be who I am without camp. I wouldn't be a knowledgeable, engaged Jew—let alone a rabbi, and I certainly wouldn't still feel like a little piece of my heart is living 10 months for 2.
How I Chose Judaism for My Interfaith Family
"Mom, Dad, I want to go to Hebrew School." This was the simple phrase of 7-year-old me that changed the course of my life and the religious life of my family.
When I was in second grade my best friend, Julie invited me to come with her to Hebrew School after school one day. Being the kind of kid who loved school and learning, it didn't take much convincing and a week or so later, I sat with Julie in her Hebrew School classroom, totally enthralled. When I came home that evening and announced to my parents with the innocent certainty belonging only to 7-year-olds that I wanted to continue attending Hebrew School, I can only imagine the sort of parental conversation that ensued after I went to sleep that evening.
You see, my mother was raised Catholic on the North Shore of Massachusetts and my father was raised a conservative Jew in New Jersey, although neither had much affinity for any sort of religion. They met at Northeastern University in the late 60s. They were hippies, they attended anti-war rallies and Woodstock and were married in a hotel in Boston by a justice of the peace. They didn't give much or any thought to religion even after I was born ten years later.
When I was growing up, we celebrated a variety of holidays in very secular ways; cultural celebrations marked by food or family gatherings. I don't remember really talking about religion at all until I decided that I wanted to attend Hebrew School and my parents had to make decisions that they perhaps did not want to make. Once I began Hebrew school and we had to join a synagogue, my whole family was welcomed into a warm and friendly community. Both of my parents served on various committees and my sister and I attended religious school and participated in youth group through the end of high school.
While I didn't really understand it at the time, I know now how amazing my parents are to have allowed and encouraged me to follow my Jewish path, despite their own personal reservations. Perhaps it should have been no surprise to them or me, after essentially choosing Judaism for my whole family, that I would choose Judaism over and over again and choose to make Judaism my life's work by becoming a rabbi.
And now I find myself happily in my mom's home state, as the new Director of InterfaithFamily/Boston, hoping to meet all kinds of people and families as you navigate your religious life and look to find ways to connect.
My story may be unique, but then, so is yours and I look forward to hearing all of them (contact me at email@example.com). I truly believe that the great strength of Judaism is its continued evolution and the growing diversity of our population will only add to the color, richness and relevance of Judaism for generations to come.

Atlanta at Carolina Sunday, 1:00 p.m. ET, at Bank of America Field, Charlotte - TV: FOX; DirecTV: 705 *TV announcers: Gus Johnson, Charles Davis, Kristina Pink *Keys to the game: The Falcons are finally settling into a groove with the ground game. RB Jacquizz Rodgers has had more carries than Michael Turner in each of the past two games, and his ability to cut back and hit holes quickly suits the Falcons' offense well. Atlanta had five runs of 12-plus yards against New Orleans last week, the type of explosive plays the ground game has lacked most of the season. The main concern remains pressure up the middle, which is where the Panthers will attempt to attack and get in QB Matt Ryan's face. Atlanta CB Chris Owens is coming off a strong game, but Panthers QB Cam Newton will test his side of the field if Asante Samuel is sidelined by a shoulder injury. Carolina's offense has been at its best when the Panthers keep the game close and hammer away with their ground game, but RB ...

America (Imagine the World Without Her) Movie Reviews
America (Imagine the World Without Her)
Release Date: Jun 27, 2014
Genre: DocumentaryDrama
Rating: (NR)
User reviews on America (Imagine the World Without Her)
When you have such big swings in rating this doc**entary it can mean only one thing; it has political over tones. The over all motive of this doc**entary was to convince the viewers that Obama and now Clinton will carry out Howard Zin's grand scheme to destroy the constitution and turn the US into a socialist/communist government. It was a pretty interesting history lesson up thru Bono's speech. It made me proud to be an American. After that, it was the Zin, Obama & Clinton conspiracy that did me in and leave before the show was over.
I should have known better when I saw the 10% aggregate rating on Rotten Tomatoes. 'It's an eye opener' my father said (he got to choose the film.) Good lord. Good god almighty. This is one of the stupidest, most hilariously idiotic pieces of hysterical American Exceptionalism propaganda I have ever wasted time on. Seriously, people? Seriously?
Fascinating film. Did you know that the first American woman to become a millionnaire by her own work was an orphaned African American woman? Or that America changed the world by becoming a rich nation not by taking other people's stuff through war, which was always a common way nations became wealthy throughout history, but by creating wealth here at home? Did you know that slavery was a common practice throughout the world at the time slavery existed in America? Or that slavery exists in the world even today?
Recently saw this film, and I must say it was an "eye opener." Actually learned a lot from this movie. It also contained some surprises (from the left and the right). I wish virtually all Americans could view this doc**entary at least once. Glad I invested a couple of hours and eight bucks! Definitely worth seeing, regardless of your political persuasion.
The only "crackpot, crook, and thief here is the liberal loser who left one star and never saw anything more than the movie poster. Since "America" is not a Satuday-morning TV cartoon, and way above your age range and rating, you'll have to wait a few years before they'll let you get into the theatre by yourself to watch the "G-rated" stuff.
Speaking of stuff, Mr. Occupy Mom's House, who cracked on corporations, let me ask you a few questions:
Did you use your own computer to write your review? Own a Cellphone? Automobile? Bicycle? Scooter? Skateboard?
Does your residence have a Refrigerator? Stove? TV? Sink? Toilet?
From where do you get your gasoline? Gas Station? Siphon hose?
Do you ever buy food from a store? Milk? Soft Drinks? Toilet paper? Anything?
Have you ever worked a day in your life for a private business?
Everything you have and use on a daily b asis is a direct result of capitalism and the corporations who manufacture them.
Maybe D'Souza should make a sequel: "America: Imagine what life would be like without Liberals?
Who were the people that captured the slaves from Africa in the first place? If your answer was "African Tribes," give yourself an "A." If you answered "Muslims," give yourslef an "A" also.
But, if you answered "Europeans" you flunked.
As far as "Who conquered who," you might as well go back to Cro-Magnon versus Neanderthals or if you want to talk about who and what killed 80% of the Native American Indians, you have to start with the Spanish and Portuguese explorers in the 15th Century - yet Lief Erikson, the Norse European bea. t them here by 500 years? Did he bring germs with him, too? No one knows.
Better yet - Archaeologists can't agree on where the first ancestors of the Native American Indians came from - which may be as far back as 16,500 years ago. The old "Clovis" theory is toast.
Then, of course, you had different Indian tribes killing off rival tribes and stealing their land long before any white men showed up.
FYI: The smallpox blankets were given to the Indians by the British Army in 1763 - before America was born. Also, more than 100 years before 1776, there was one outbreak of smallpox among the Hurons caused after the fall of Ft. William Henry during the French and Indian War. When the garrison surrendered to French General Montcalm, his Huron allies were upset at not being able to garner scalps from the English. The Hurons dug up several graves (not knowing that those dead English colonists had died of smallpox) and took their scalps, spreading the disease back to their villages.
Try reading genuine history books written before the 20th Century.
I will be seing America a 2nd time this Friday so that I can give a more reasoned review.
BTW, "2016: Obama's America" was a dog of a movie. This time around, D'Souza did not rely solely on Obama's, phony fairy-tale biography that Bill Ayers wrote. Dinesh did his homework on "America"
The people giving low ratings here seem to not be giving reviews of the movie at all but instead are taking shots at America and the movies maker. I for one love my country and I realize this world without her would be a truly evil world. So me and my family will definately be seeing this one!
A refreshing overview of American history focusing on what makes America great. Sure to leave Stalin rolling over in his grave. :)
Just saw this with my family -- what a great movie. Sadly everyone in the theater, except our kids, were over about 50. And that's largely why America has descended to where it is. An entire generation is like the previous reviewer -- they've drank the kool-aid and have no idea how to evaluate the facts for themselves. It's getting to where it is only the older generation that remembers what things used to be like and what we are in the process of losing.
One refreshing reminder we got from this movie though was that no matter how much ground this socialist resurgence gains, at the end of he day America is an "idea" and that can never be destroyed. It will ultimately come back.
Corporate Propaganda Movie America:
I was doing great with this one (in spite of the overemphasis on a version of the US Revolution/Civil War/WWII that omitted the entire role that corporations played in instigating, financing and starting the hostilities (respectively). While they were giving me new info and telling people about Howard Zinn - all was fine.
And then, the whitewash began. It was still OK to learn about the African Americans owning slaves - but, were there really as many of them as there were white slave owners? or did I hear that wrong? I didn't even freak out when they started justifying the white's land grabbing on the Indians - at first. But when they attributed the American Indian Genocide to random disease and said that the Sioux nation has had a Billion dollars "set aside" for them... Oh please. Set aside? What are they, underage or something? And about that disease. I clearly remember blankets contaminated with Small Pox.
Then came the real propaganda. Did we know that American let Iraq "keep it's oil." Yea? Really? I think we're still there and the mega O&G companies wanted their same same 30 year no increase contracts. And then this one, "America was giving the Afghani people food aid not really going to war to steal their mineral wealth for mega corporations using OBL as an excuse." That's when I got up and walked out.
Dinesh needs to see a dentist and read Thom Hartmann's book "Unequal Protection" and learn how corporations really created the America he was trying to doc**ent. I wonder how much they paid him for this schlock? Oh, and the aerosol spraying in the skies was amazing.
D'Souza's a crackpot, a crook, and a thief. Why in the wide, wide, world of sports is anyone interested in what he says, unless it fits in with their already-skewed views?

Mumbai, March 23 (IANS) Young actor Saqib Saleem's confident performance in "Mere Dad Ki Maruti" has multiplied his popularity since last year's "Mujhse Fraaandship Karoge". The proudest is his cousin Huma Qureshi, who made her own impressive debut last year with "Gangs Of Wasseypur".
Huma, who has been busy shooting with Madhuri Dixit for Abhishek Choubey's "Dedh Ishqiya", can barely contain her excitement at her brother's persuasive impact in "Mere Dad Ki Maruti".
"One thing no one can deny about Saqib is that he is a spontaneous and uninhibited performer. Give him any scene and he will do it naturally and effortlessly. Of course it is difficult for me to judge his performance impartially, since he's my brother, and I am bound to be biased," said Huma.
Saqib is in the meanwhile, taking it nice and steady.
"I've just finished 'Bombay Talkies'. I am part of the segment directed by Karan Johar. Other than that, I am just reading scripts. I don't want to sign anything in haste."
A prominent director who plans to work with both the screen-friendly siblings says, "Huma and Saqib represent a new generation of potential stars from outside the industry like Ayushmann Khurrana, Sushant Singh Rajput">Sushant Singh Rajput, Richa Chaddha and Kartik Tiwari".
"They both have a good screen presence and a terrific sense of screen-space. But they are not from within the film fraternity. They don't have major studios backing them. Only independent producers take them on, and that too on the rebound," the filmmaker added on anyonymity.
The filmmaker pointed how, "given their niche status in Bollywood, it is important for these outsiders to get a stronger foothold within the industry".

of Significance
|1900s (fabric) 1903-1933c (historical period of use), 1940s (wartime storage use)
|Criterion A
|The Laheys Canungra Tramway Tunnel is important in demonstrating the pattern of Queensland's history as an example of a privately built, owned and operated tramway. It is also important as a product of the development of the early timber getting and milling industries in Queensland.
|Criterion B
|The place demonstrates uncommon aspects of Queensland's cultural heritage as an early example of one of the few tramway tunnels built in Queensland not requiring lining or support.
|Criterion F
|The tunnel is important in demonstrating the high degree of creative and technical achievement required to solve complex engineering problems associated with the construction of Queensland's early railways in challenging environments and through the use of new and untried technologies.
|Criterion G
|The tunnel holds strong social significance for the community for its landmark values and for the contribution that the early timber industry and subsequent tramway operations had for the economic and cultural development of the Canungra region. The tunnel is also of social significance to the community as demonstrated by the installation of interpretive signing and the opening of the tunnel as a local tourist attraction.
|Criterion H
|The place has a special association with the life and work of several generations of the Lahey family, who have been influential in the development of the timber industry in southeastern Queensland, and in the general development of the Canungra area.
|The Laheys Canungra Tramway Tunnel represents part of a large scale, privately constructed and operated tramway used between 1903 and 1930. The tramway line was constructed in 3 feet 6 inch Queensland Government Railway standard gauge in the hope of future integration with the government rail network. The tramway tunnel was cut through solid sandstone, thereby negating any requirements for lining or support structures. European settlement of the area surrounding the Coomera River commenced in 1843 with the establishment of the Tambourine holding. Early timber harvesting began in the 1860s by Hugh Mahony, who cut and hauled cedar logs to mills in Ipswich. The Lahey family emigrated from their native Ireland to Australia in 1862. Francis Lahey, his wife and eleven children arrived in Sydney, but immediately travelled north to Brisbane. The family began farming in the Pimpama region in 1870. In 1875 Francis Lahey purchased a sugar mill and sawbench at Tygum, Waterford for his sons. After being informed of the 'good timber' in the region, David Lahey commenced work on the construction of the first sawmill in Canungra on 2 October 1884. During the same year David, John, Isaiah, Thomas and Evangeline Lahey all applied for and were granted selections of land around Canungra totaling over 3,000 acres. The mill at Canungra flourished during the first sixteen years of operation with timber readily obtained from the immediate area. The Lahey family expanded their business during this time, establishing an office in Brisbane in 1887, saw and planing mills at Beaudesert in 1888, the construction of a new mill at Canungra in 1897 after the original mill was destroyed by fire, and the construction of another mill at Widgee near Hill View in 1898. By the turn of the 20th century, transportation of timber to the Canungra mill was becoming a problem. By this time the Laheys had acquired timber leases amounting to over 16,000 acres in the Canungra and Pine Creek Valleys, thereby requiring the slow and expensive bullock teams to haul logs over ever-increasing distances. The Laheys saw mechanisation as the solution to their transportation problems. After a failed experiment with a steam traction engine, it was decided to build a tramway into the Pine Creek Valley to help keep transportation costs down. Steep grades and rugged terrain were an early problem in the design of the tramway. Various means of propulsion to cope with the steep grades and potentially heavy haulage weights were considered. A geared Climax locomotive, claimed to be capable of operating on grades as steep as 1 in 10, depending on haulage weight, was selected. A narrow gauge of 3 feet 6 inches was also chosen to match that of the growing Queensland Government Railways, as it was hoped that the government line would eventually extend to Canungra (this finally occurred in 1914). Tom Lahey and a Mr Clark were responsible for the selection of the tramway route. George Phillips, a celebrated civil engineer, was then engaged to make a detailed survey of the route, which was completed in February 1900. A contract was then let to Mr Clark for the initial construction. An immediate problem he faced was a ridge of the Darlington Range that separated the mill in Canungra from the timber leases in the Coomera Valley. After considering an expensive long circuitous route around the ridge formation, a tunnel cutting through the ridge was chosen with an approach grade of 1 in 12½ with short radius curves. The tunnel was pierced on 1 January 1901. First use of the tunnel was in September 1903. The grade against loaded trains heading to the mill was kept to 1 in 16½. The downhill grade from the tunnel to the mill was steeper and considered dangerously steep. To overcome this, a safety switch was laid. During actual operations, no serious accidents occurred, though there are reports of "some exciting moments", being "due to greasy rails". The tramway was extended over time. By 1910, the main line was 13½ km long, with a branch 2 km up Flying Fox Creek and a sub-branch 500m up Little Flying Fox Creek to service a new aerial ropeway on Beech Mountain. Eventually, the total length of track laid amounted to 26½ km. Usage of the tramway continued to increase so that during 1915 alone, 15,000 tons of logs were hauled to the mill. With the construction of the tramway came the preservation of belts of native vegetation alongside the tracks. The line "curved among waterfalls, ferns and thick scrub", and it was used by the locals for everyday transportation needs, with reports of locals sitting atop the logs, children using the tramway for rides to school and for picnickers hitching a ride to their destinations. By 1920 much of the timber had been removed from the Canungra area. In 1920, the War Service Homes Commission purchased the whole milling operation and before long, closed the mill. David Lahey's company Brisbane Timbers Ltd, however, took over the remaining timber harvesting operations and the tramway was used sporadically for a few more years. Trips along the tramway by sightseers are recorded up till 1930. By June 1933, the line was being dismantled. In 1935, the rails and bogies were sold for scrap. During its period of use, the tramway collectively hauled approximately 130 million super feet of timber. During the Second World War, the tunnel was used for the storage of ammunition for the nearby Kokoda Barracks at Canungra. Following the war the tunnel fell out of use, but has since been cleared out through work conducted under a Centenary of Federation grant project. The tunnel was officially re-opened for pedestrian and visitor use on 21 January 2001.
|The tunnel was originally meant to be 88 yards in length (80m). However, its actual overall length is 91m plus an approach cutting at each end. The tunnel is straight, unlined and rectangular in section and cut through solid sandstone. On the walls of the tunnel is etched graffiti. The majority of graffiti is concentrated near the well-lit southeastern and northwestern entrances. Each entrance has an open approach cutting that extends from the tunnel. The northwestern entrance features two interpretive signs, one outlining the history of the tramway and tunnel, the other identifying the use of the tunnel during the Second World War. Both entrances also feature waist high steel entrance barriers added to the site as part of the Centenary of Federation project. Neither of the modern interpretive signs or modern entrance barriers are of cultural heritage significance.
