Republican Presidential Debate
MR. GIBSON: I thank you all for being here, and I genuinely look forward to this. So let us begin. And I'll start the stopwatch.
President Bush said in his end-of-the-year news conference, "During the primaries and during the general election, I suspect my name may come up a lot." So let's bring it up. And I want to start with foreign policy. And just to set some context, we've got a little background here from ABC's Jonathan Karl.
JONATHAN KARL (ABC): When he was on the debate stage eight years ago, candidate George Bush promised a humble foreign policy. After September 11th, a new Bush doctrine: The United States would hit its enemies before they hit us. Hence, the Iraq war. On terrorism, President Bush told the world, you're either with us or you're against us.
With the second term, an even bolder vision.
PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH: (From videotape.) With the ultimate goal of ending tyranny in our world.
MR. KARL: Sounding like Woodrow Wilson, the president vowed to push for democracy everywhere. There are exceptions -- support for Musharraf in Pakistan, for example, and the nuclear deal offered to North Korea. From the axis of evil to nation-building in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Bush policy has been bold, but not exactly humble.
MR. GIBSON: So let me start with a general question. If you are the nominee, will you run on the Bush foreign policy record or will you run away from it? And Governor Huckabee, let me start with you because it was you who wrote that the Bush foreign policy reflects an arrogant bunker mentality.
MR. GIBSON: You can break in here, Governor Romney.
MR. ROMNEY: Well, unfortunately, Ron, you need a thorough understanding of what radical jihad is -- what the movement is, what its intent is, where it flows from, and the fact is it is trying to bring down, not just us, but it is trying to bring down all moderate Islamic governments, Western governments around the world, as we just saw in Pakistan.
But let's step back with regards to the president. The president is not arrogant. The president does not subject -- or is not subject to a bunker mentality. The president has acted out of his desire to keep America safe, and we owe him a debt of gratitude for keeping this country safe over the last six years.
MR. GIBSON: Let me --
MR. ROMNEY: In addition, let me -- let me continue with my own thoughts on -- on the issue of do we follow his policy or create a new one.
He did the right thing in responding and reacting to the fact that we got attacked. And people now recognize you attack America and there is a response. But we're going to have to move our strategy from simply being a respond to military threat with military action to an effort that says we're going to use our military and non-military resources -- non-military resources, combined with other nations who are our friends, to help move the world of Islam towards modernity and moderation. It's something that former Prime Minister Aznar of Spain spoke about.
The new mission for NATO and for other nations is to help provide the rule of law, education that is not through madrassas, agricultural and economic policies that can be instilled in various Islamic countries so the Muslims are able to reject the extreme and the -- and the terrorists.
We can help them. Our military is going to be needed. We do need -- I agree with what the mayor said; we need to add to our military by at least 100,000 troops, but the answer is to move now to a second phase, a phase of helping Muslims become so strong they can reject the extreme.
REP. PAUL: Let me try to explain so you can understand this better. Try to visualize how we would react if they did that to us. If a country, say China, came that great distance across the ocean, and they say, "We want you to live like us, we want you to have our economic system, we want bases on your land, we want to protect our oil," even if we do that with good intentions, even if the Chinese did that with good intentions, we would all be together and we'd be furious.
MR. ROMNEY: Ron. Ron, you're reading -- you're reading their propaganda.
You're reading their propaganda --
REP. PAUL: What would you do --
MR. ROMNEY: I'd read their -- I'd read their -- I'd read their writings. I'd read what they write to one another, and that's why when someone like Sayyid Qutb lays out the philosophy of radical jihadism and says we want to kill --
REP. PAUL: And what you're saying --
MR. ROMNEY: Let me complete -- wants to kill Anwar Sadat -- when there's the assassination of Anwar Sadat, it has nothing to do with us. The reason -- why did they kill Madame Bhutto? It has nothing to do with us. This has to do with a battle that is going on within the world of Islam of radical violent jihadists trying to bring down all moderate Islamic people and nations and replace them with a religious caliphate.
REP. PAUL: But this means --
MR. ROMNEY: And we are doing our very best to help support the voices of moderation.
MR. THOMPSON: Who had we invaded before 9/11 --
MR. ROMNEY: They tried it in the Philippines.
REP. PAUL: We were occupying. We had an air base --
MR. THOMPSON: Occupying --
REP. PAUL: -- in Saudi Arabia.
MR. THOMPSON: A base.
MR. : Ron --
REP. PAUL: We have propped up -- how many governments have we propped up?
MR. GIBSON: Before we start with Governor Huckabee, I owe you a few seconds because you -- somebody said no -- or Senator Thompson said we're not arrogant; we don't have bunker mentality. Just take a few seconds.
MR. HUCKABEE: Well, in those words -- first of all, Governor Romney, you yourself on 60 Minutes said that we had left Iraq in a mess. You've also said that you weren't going to have this "my way" or "no way" philosophy, and I've been attacked for using the words policy that had an "arrogance and bunker mentality." I didn't say the president was. I supported the president and the war before you did. I supported the surge when you didn't. I'm not a person who is out there taking cheap shots at the president. I worked really hard to get him elected, but I'm not running for George Bush's third term. I want to be president of the United States on my own terms.
And I think it's important for us to recognize that --
MR. ROMNEY: Charlie, I get to -- I get to respond to that.
MR. HUCKABEE: Let me finish this. When -- when Congressman Paul
MR. PAUL: And I get a chance to respond. (Laughter.)
MR. HUCKABEE: You'll all get a chance to respond --
MR. ROMNEY: I'm out of time.
MR. HUCKABEE: -- before it's over, I'm sure. But --
MR. ROMNEY: Governor -- Governor --
MR. HUCKABEE: -- the fact is when there is a -- when there is a serious threat to this country, it is not a threat because we happen to be peace-loving people; it's a threat because in the heart of the radical Islamic faith -- not all Islam, and that's what's very important. This isn't an Islamic problem; this is a jihadist problem. This is an Islamofascism problem. And if you read the writings of those who most influenced -- and Governor Romney mentioned Said Qutub, executed in Egypt in 1966. He is one of the major philosophers behind this. And the fact is, there is nothing about our attacking them that prompts this. They are prompted by the fact they believe that they must establish a worldwide caliphate that has nothing to do with us other than we live and breathe, and their intention is to destroy us.
MR. GIBSON: Very quickly, you went after Governor Romney --
MR. ROMNEY: Yeah, a number -- a number of things. I disagree with the governor writing in Foreign Affairs magazine that the president's administration suffers from an arrogant bunker mentality.
MR. HUCKABEE: Did you read the article before you commented on it?
MR. ROMNEY: I did read the article.
MR. HUCKABEE: The entire article, before you commented on it.
MR. ROMNEY: I read the entire article, and I thought it -- well, I won't make any further comments. It was not --
MR. HUCKABEE: Before you commented on it.
MR. ROMNEY: Before -- I got a copy of the article and read the article. And in the -- in the headline of the article, it said that the Bush -- the Bush --
MR. PAUL: Did you read mine? (Laughter.)
MR. GIBSON: I've got to -- I've got to --
MR. ROMNEY: John? No, no, hold on. John -- no, I didn't, sorry. (Laughter.) What I read is -- and number two --
MR. PAUL: What about mine?
MR. ROMNEY: Number two -- number two, I did support the surge.
REP. PAUL: Unknown.
MR. ROMNEY: It was Senator McCain of all of us who was out fighting for the surge. He was right on that. On the same day the president announced the surge, I also -- having spoken that day with Fred Kagan, who is one of the brilliant theorists in this regard, I laid out my plan that I thought made sense -- actually, even before the president's speech -- calling for additional troops; I called for a different number. So I also supported the surge from the very beginning.
But look, I -- you know, Governor --
MR. HUCKABEE: I'm way over.
MR. ROMNEY: Don't try and characterize my position. Of course, this war has --
MR. HUCKABEE: Which one? (Scattered laughter.)
MR. ROMNEY: You know -- you know, we're wise to talk about policies and not to make personal attacks.
MR. HUCKABEE: Well, it's not a personal attack, Mitt, because you also supported a timed withdrawal. And Senator Pryor, from my state --
MR. ROMNEY: No, that's --
MR. HUCKABEE: -- was praising you for that, and --
MR. ROMNEY: I do not -- I do not support and have never support a timed withdrawal. So that's wrong, Governor. You know, it's -- it's really helpful if you talk about your policies and the things you believe and let me talk about my policies. And my policy is I've never talked about a time withdrawal with a date certain for us to leave. That's not the case. Simply wrong. I've also supported the troop surge, Governor, and I supported it on the same day the president brought it forward.
And the critical thing here is for us to stand together and to say I think we do agree with troop surge. We believe that the troop surge is going to make an enormous difference for the world and protect us from the establishment of safe havens from which al Qaeda could launch attacks against us.
MR. GIBSON: Very quickly.
REP. PAUL: There's -- there's always a radical element in almost all -- all religions. They have to have an incentive. We give them that incentive.
The question that you don't -- aren't willing to ask is, why is it that they attack America?
I mean, they don't attack the Canadians. They don't attack the Swiss. If it were merely because they want to go into Europe, why do they --
MR. ROMNEY: Is it such a puzzle, is it such a mystery as to why they attack America?
MR. GIULIANI: They attacked Israelis, they attacked Bali --
REP. PAUL: It is --
MR. ROMNEY: They're not going after Luxembourg. (Laughter.)
MR. GIULIANI: Ron. Ron.
REP. PAUL: It is because we've gone six --
MR. ROMNEY: We're the strongest nation in the world.
MR. GIULIANI: Ron. Ron, it is simply not true. Islamic terrorists killed over 500 Americans before September 11, 2001, going back to the late 1960s. They have also killed people recently in Bali, in London. They have launched attacks in Germany. Where did the attack on the Munich Olympics take place? In the United States? Or did it take place in Germany?
MR. GIBSON: All right, let me stop this --
MR. GIULIANI: I could go on and on. The attack on Leon Klinghoffer.
MR. GIBSON: Let me --
MR. GIULIANI: Islamic terrorists have attacked --
REP. PAUL: You paint all Islamics the same way.
MR. GIULIANI: -- all over the world.
MR. ROMNEY: No, of course not.
REP. PAUL: They absolutely do not.
MR. ROMNEY: Of course not.
MR. GIBSON: What are the principles, and are they constant? You all have been questioning -- as I've watched you campaign, you've all been questioning your opponents. And I'm going to ask Senator McCain, you and Governor Romney, because you two have been going at each other in interviews and in ads about this, of the constancy of your principles, or whether or not you look to opinion polls and focus groups to make up your minds.
So let me have the two of you dialogue with each other about this and answer the president's questions, and then I'll bring the other four in and give them equal time.
MR. ROMNEY: Charlie, when I sat down with my family and had the discussion about whether or not to get into this race, we went around the room, and each one of my five sons and five daughters-in-law expressed their views. And it's because of them and because of my concern about the future of America that I'm in this race. I'm convinced that America is the greatest nation on earth, that we are a good nation and a strong nation. And we are safe and prosperous, in part, because of our greatness and our strength.
I'm concerned, though, right now we face challenges of such an unprecedented nature that unless we deal with them honestly and effectively, America will become less of a nation that it needs to be to preserve the peace here and the peace around the world. And I believe it's essential for America to stand for principles of an eternal nature. I think at the heart of our strength is the family. I don't think there's anything more important to the future of America than the work that's going on within the four walls of the American home. I think we have to strengthen America's families. I think we have to have good schools and good health care for moms and dads tending to the needs of kids, that we have to have better schools and better health care. I believe also that this nation has to have a strong and vibrant economy. I don't think we can lead the world unless we have the leading economy. And finally, a strong military to keep us safe.
So my overriding principle is keeping America the strongest nation on earth. And there will be a lot of choices and pulls and tugs in different directions. But keeping America strong through all those elements, through our families and our values, through our economy and its vibrancy and through our military is what is essential to me for the future of this land.
MR. ROMNEY: A lot of people have ideas about health care and improving health care. We took the ideas and actually made them work in our state. As people in New Hampshire know, we put in place a plan that gets every citizen in our state health insurance, and it didn't cost us new money. And it didn't require us to raise taxes.
What we found was it was less expensive or no more expensive to help individuals who had been uninsured buy their own private policy than it had been for us to give out free care at the hospital. And since we've put our plan in place last April, we've now had 300,000 people who were uninsured sign up for this insurance. Private insurance.
And where the doctor, the good doctor was wrong is that it's true the insurance companies don't want to sell policies to one person at a time; it's expensive. We established what we called a connector -- a place where individuals could go to buy policies from any company, and that connector would, in turn, send their premiums on to those companies. So the economics of scale existed.
And as a result of what we did, the premiums for health insurance for an individual buying insurance when from $350 a month to $180 a month, with lower deductibles and now with prescription drugs.
MR. GIBSON: Anybody --
MR. ROMNEY: The answer -- let me just -- I just, I want to underline this. We don't have to have government take over health care to get everybody insured. That's what the Democrats keep on hanging out there. The truth is we can get everybody insured in a free market way. We don't need Hillary-care or socialized medicine.
MR. GIBSON: (Off mike) -- Governor Romney -- (off mike) -- mandate and that's an obstacle, although you've backed away from mandates on a national basis.
MR. ROMNEY: No, no, I like mandates. Do the mandates work? Mandates --
MR. THOMPSON: I beg your pardon? (Laughter.)
MR. ROMNEY: Let me --
MR. THOMPSON: I didn't know you were going to admit that.
MR. ROMNEY: Let me -- oh, absolutely.
MR. THOMPSON: You like mandates.
MR. ROMNEY: Let me tell you what kind of mandates I like, Fred, which is this --
MR. THOMPSON: And what did you come up with? (Laughter.)
MR. ROMNEY: Here's my view. If somebody can afford insurance and decides not to buy it and then they get sick, they ought to pay their own way as opposed to expect the government to pay their way, and that's an American principle. That's a principle of personal responsibility. So I said this: If you can afford to buy insurance, then buy it. You don't have to if you don't want to buy it, but then you've got to put enough money aside that you can pay your own way, because what we're not going to do is say, as we saw more and more people --
MR./SEN. : Governor, you imposed tax -- tax penalties in Massachusetts -- (inaudible) --
MR. ROMNEY: Yeah, we said, look, if people can afford to buy it, either buy the insurance or pay your own way. Don't be free riders and pass on the cost of your health care to everybody else --
MR. THOMPSON: The government is going to make you buy insurance --
MR. ROMNEY: No, the government's going to --
MR. THOMPSON: I mean the state. Your state plan, which is, of course, different from your national plan, did require people to make that choice, though. The state required them to do that. What was the penalty if they refused?
MR. ROMNEY: They refused to pay -- let's go back, Fred.
What's -- what's your view? If somebody -- if somebody --
MR. THOMPSON: Well, I asked question first.
MR. ROMNEY: No, okay -- (laughter) -- well, I'll answer your question, you answer mine. If somebody is making, let's say, $100,000 a year and doesn't have health insurance; and they show up at the hospital and they need a thousand-dollar repair of some kind for something that's gone wrong; and they say, look, I'm not insured, I'm not going to pay; do you think they should pay or not?
MR. THOMPSON: Did your plan cut people off at $100,000? Was that the level?
MR. ROMNEY: No, actually --
MR. THOMPSON: Does it only apply to people with $100,000 income and over?
MR. ROMNEY: It actually applies to people at three times federal poverty. They pay for their own policy. At less than three times federal poverty, we help them buy policies. So everybody is insured and everybody is able to buy a policy that's affordable for them.
And the question is this, again: If someone can afford a policy and they choose not to buy it, should they be responsible for paying for their own care, or should they be able to go to the hospital and say, you know what, I'm not insured, you ought to pay for it? What we found was one quarter of the uninsured in my state were making $75,000 a year or more, and my view is they should either buy insurance or they should pay their own way with a health savings account or some other savings account.
MR. GIBSON: We have an expression in television: we get into the weeds. We're in the weeds now on this. (Laughter.)
(Cross talk.)
MR. GIBSON: But let just come to one point. Yes or no? In your national plan, would you mandate people to get insurance?
MR. ROMNEY: I'd have -- I think my plan is a good plan that should be adopted by the states. I wouldn't tell every state --
MR. GIBSON: Would you mandate --
MR. ROMNEY: I would not mandate at the federal level that every state do what we do, but what I would say at the federal level is we'll keep giving you these special payments we make if you adopt plans that get everybody insured. I want to get everybody insured.
In Governor Schwarzenegger's state, he's got a different plan to get people insured. I wouldn't tell him he has to do it my way, but I'd say each state needs to get busy on the job of getting all our citizens insured. It does not cost more money.
MR. ROMNEY: Don't turn the pharmaceutical companies into the big bad guys. I --
SEN. MCCAIN: Well, they are.
MR. ROMNEY: No, actually they're trying to create products to make us well and make us better, and they're doing the work of the free market. And are there excesses? I'm sure there are, and we should go after excesses. But they're an important industry to this country.
But let me note something else, and that is, the market will work. And the reason health care isn't working like a market right now is you have 47 million people that are saying, "I'm not going to play. I'm just going to get free care paid for by everybody else." That doesn't work.
Number two, the buyer doesn't have information about what the cost or quality is of different choices they could have. If you take the government out of it to a much greater extent you'd get it to work like a market and we'll rein in costs.
MR. SPRADLING: I'm struck by the fact that we're on the Saint Anselm campus, and a few months ago you took some hits in a debate that you had here with your fellow Republicans on the issue of illegal immigration and yours views. Since that debate --
SEN. MCCAIN: I shouldn't have come back.
MR. SPRADLING: (Laughs, laughter.) Since that debate, sir, you've told voters I hear you; you've acknowledged some of these complaints. And there's more talk, I know, from you about stronger borders. That's a big focus in this debate. But fundamentally, I'm wondering, don't you still have the same plan for a path to citizenship that you fundamentally held months ago?
SEN. MCCAIN: Sure, but the fact is that the American people have lost trust and confidence in government, and we have to secure the borders first. I come from a border state. I'm very aware of the challenges we face and the impact of illegal immigration. So we will secure the borders first. As president, I will have the border state governors certify that those borders are secure. And of course, in the course of our debates and discussions and with Secretary Chertoff, he said that there's 2 million people who are in this country illegally who have committed crimes. Those people have to be deported immediately. And I do believe we need a temporary worker program, one with an employee -- employee employment -- electronic employment verification system and tamper-proof biometric documents so that the only document and that system can an employer legally hire somebody, and any employer who employs someone in any other way will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Now, I want to say again, we -- this is a national security issue. We have to secure our borders. But I want to say again, these are God's children. We have to address it in as humane and compassionate an issue as possible. But we have to respect our nation's security requirements.
So I think that it's time Republican and Democrat sat down together and resolved this issue because if you got broken borders and if you have 12 million people here illegally, then obviously you have de facto amnesty. It is a federal responsibility. The federal government's -- government must act. I will act as president.
MR. GIBSON: We got the tally lights this time. Governor?
SEN. MCCAIN: Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Charlie.
MR. GIBSON: That's all right.
MR. ROMNEY: I disagree fundamentally with the idea that the 12 million people who've come here illegally should all be allowed to remain in the United States permanently, potentially some of them applying for citizenship and becoming citizens, others just staying permanently. I think that is a form of amnesty and that is not appropriate. We're a nation of laws. Our liberty --
MR. : Do you want --
MR. ROMNEY: -- our liberty -- our liberty is based upon being a nation of laws. I would welcome those people to get in line with everybody else who wants to come here permanently. But there should be no special pathway to permanent residency or citizenship for those that have come here illegally.
I welcome legal immigration. Of course we need to secure the border, we need to -- need to have an employment verification system with a card to identify who's here legally and not legally. We need to have employers sanctioned that hire people that then don't have the legal card.
But with regards to those already here, it is simply not right, and unfair, to say they're going to all get to stay, where there are people around the world who've been waiting in line to come to this country. They should have the first chance, not those who came illegally.
SEN. MCCAIN: Let me just say I've never supported amnesty. A few nights ago, Joe Lieberman and I had a town hall meeting together. It was a rather unusual event. The issue came up. Joe Lieberman said John McCain has never supported amnesty, and anybody says he does is a liar, he's lying. Now, no better authority than Governor Romney believe that it's not amnesty, because two years ago, he was asked, and he said that my plan was, quote, "reasonable and was not amnesty." It's a matter of record.
MR. SPRADLING: Governor, you want to explain your ad?
MR. ROMNEY: Yeah, absolutely, which is what he describes is technically true, which is his plan does not provide amnesty, because he charges people $5,000 to be able to stay. And that technically is --
SEN. MCCAIN: That's not true. That's not complete, the response to it, and Governor Romney, it was explained to you, and you said it was reasonable and not amnesty. That's just -- you can look it up.
MR. GIULIANI: You know, Ronald Reagan --
MR. ROMNEY: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Let me have a chance --
MR. SPRADLING: Go ahead.
MR. GIULIANI: One point --
MR. ROMNEY: Rudy, Rudy, let me have a chance to finish, okay? You'll get your chance.
I saw your plan along with Senator Cornyn's plan and the Bush plan. I said they were all reasonable. And I said I would study them and decide which one to endorse, and I endorsed none of them, as you know, Senator.
Number two, your plan, I said, is not technically amnesty, because it provides for a penalty for people to be able to stay --
SEN. MCCAIN: It provides for more than a penalty.
MR. ROMNEY: Okay, would you describe what else it has besides a penalty?
SEN. MCCAIN: Sure -- fine, learn English, back of the line behind everybody else. Pretty much what Rudy just described.
MR. ROMNEY: Okay, great. So it has --
SEN. MCCAIN: So that we can address the issue --
MR. ROMNEY: Fine, it lets -- you pay $5,000 --
SEN. MCCAIN: -- and the fact is it's it not amnesty. And for you to describe it as you do in the attack ads, my friend, you can spend your whole fortune on these attack ads, but it still won't be true.
MR. GIULIANI: May I make a --
MR. ROMNEY: No, no, no, no. I get a chance to respond to this. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I don't describe your plan as amnesty in my ad. I don't call it amnesty. What I say is -- and you just described what most people would say is a form of amnesty. Yeah, they pay $5,000, their background is checked, they have to learn English. But your view is everybody who's come here illegally, today, other than criminals, would be allowed when they speak English and get $5,000 payment and they get a background check, they're allowed to stay forever.
SEN. MCCAIN: Look --
MR. ROMNEY: That's your plan, and that plan, in my view, is not appropriate. Those people should be invited to get in line outside the country with everybody else who wants to come here. But they should not be given a special right to stay here --
SEN. MCCAIN: There is no special right associated with my plan. I said they should not be in any way rewarded for illegal behavior.
MR. ROMNEY: Are they sent home?
SEN. MCCAIN: They have to get in line --
MR. ROMNEY: Are they sent home?
SEN. MCCAIN: -- behind everybody else.
MR. ROMNEY: Are they sent home?
SEN. MCCAIN: Some of them are, some of them are not, depending on their situation.
MR. ROMNEY: The last bill you put forth --
SEN. MCCAIN: A woman has been here for eight years --
MR. ROMNEY: I'm sorry, the last bill --
SEN. MCCAIN: -- and has a son fighting in Iraq --
MR. ROMNEY: Senator, the last bill you put forward --
SEN. MCCAIN: -- I'm not interested in calling her up -- calling up her son and telling I'm deporting his grandmother.
MR. THOMPSON: Excuse me, didn't -- didn't you just -- didn't you say --
(Cross talk.)
MR. : That's a very emotional --
MR. : Hold on --
(Cross talk.)
MR. GIBSON: Senator Thompson.
MR. THOMPSON: Didn't you say Republicans were making a terrible mistake if they were separating themselves with President Bush on the illegal immigration issue?
MR. ROMNEY: No. That was quoted in AP, it happened to be wrong.
Let me -- (laughs).
MR. GIULIANI: Well, could I -- could I -- may I make my point --
MR. ROMNEY: That does happen from time to time. But let me --
SEN. MCCAIN: When you change positions on issues from time to time, you will get misquoted. (Laughter.)
MR. ROMNEY: Senator, is there a way to have this about issues and not about personal attacks? I hope so, because I think we have some differences on issues.
SEN. MCCAIN: I do.
MR. ROMNEY: And let me tell you, the issue that's at stake here is do the people who come here illegally, the 12 million, are they allowed to stay in this country the rest of their life? And the final bill you put forward in the United States Senate was they got a Z --
SEN. MCCAIN: The answer is that there was still negotiations and debating on that.
MR. ROMNEY: May I complete?
SEN. MCCAIN: The answer is we were still negotiating. We were debating. I'm saying that some people have to go back to the country --
MR. ROMNEY: I'm sorry. There was a Z visa. The Z visa was given to everybody --
SEN. MCCAIN: And it was having -- that some people have to go back. First, as Rudy said, we have to round up the 2 million who have committed crimes and deport them immediately.
MR. ROMNEY: Let's not divert.
SEN. MCCAIN: And that is not amnesty for anyone.
MR. GIBSON: Well, I don't want to divert. Let me come back to your plan. Is it practical to take 12 million people and send them out of the country?
MR. ROMNEY: Is it practical? The answer is no. The answer is no. So here's why my plan works. One, it says to those 12 million people they do not have the right, as they would under the final Senate plan, to receive a Z visa which was renewable indefinitely. That meant these people could stay in the country forever. That was what the plan did, and that's why talk radio and the American people went nuts.
SEN. MCCAIN: That's not the plan.
MR. ROMNEY: Senator, you look up your Z visa. It is renewable indefinitely. Every illegal alien got to stay in the country forever, other than those that committed crimes.
MR. GIBSON: Go ahead.
MR. GIULIANI: Charlie, if Ronald Reagan were here, who we all invoke, he would grab the microphone, say it's my microphone, I paid for it. And Ronald Reagan did amnesty. He actually did amnesty.
MR. ROMNEY: Yeah, yeah.
MR. GIULIANI: I think he'd be in one of Mitt's negative commercials. (Laughter.)
And he is the hero of our party. None of us -- none of us -- has a perfect record on immigration, because this is a very complicated problem. The thing that we have to do is we have to decide who has the best plan among all of us for fixing illegal immigration. You've got to stop it at the border, you've got to stop it cold at the border, and then you have to have a rational system. It is not amnesty if you charge -- I did this more in my life than I did politics, meaning law enforcement.
If you charge fines, if you have impositions of conditions, it is not amnesty. Ronald Reagan gave amnesty saying they have to pay a fine, have to get on the back of the line, have a whole bunch of conditions --
MR. ROMNEY: I thought you said that wasn't amnesty.
MR. GIULIANI: That is not amnesty.
MR. ROMNEY: Okay. (Laughs.)
MR. GIULIANI: That is not amnesty. If you have a fine, if you have conditions, if you have a whole bunch of steps that people have to go through, it is not amnesty. Ronald Reagan gave amnesty, straight-out amnesty.
MR. ROMNEY: And I think every person on this stage wants the community to understand that legal immigration, we value. It's great for the country. We welcome legal immigration -- every single one of us. No difference on that. We get twisted on this outside.
MR. GIBSON: So noted. So noted. So noted.
MR. ROMNEY: We are very much in favor of legal immigration. It's a great source of vitality for our country.
MR. SPRADLING: Governor Romney, I'm going to stay with you. In Charlie's health care dialogue in the first half you mentioned "Hillary care." This group has aimed a lot of partisan firepower at Hillary Clinton, but I'd like, if you don't mind, to adjust the outcome for a minute and walk down this road with me. Let's say that Barack Obama is the nominee. He won the Iowa caucus. We have a WMUR poll out just tonight that shows it's tied here in New Hampshire, 33 (percent) to 33 (percent). And I'd like to know from you why, against you as the nominee down the line, why not vote for Barack Obama? And not just because he's a Democrat -- you're not allowed to say that. (Laughs.)
MR. ROMNEY: (Laughs.)
MR. SPRADLING: I'd like to hear some specifics on why not him.
MR. ROMNEY: Well, we have very different views on a whole series of issues, and I could take you through one by one. One would be health care, for instance. He wants the government to take over health care, spend hundreds of billions of dollars of new money for health insurance for everyone. That will be -- that will break the bank. If you think -- as the comedian said -- P.J. O'Rourke -- "If you think health care is expensive now, just wait 'til it's free." (Laughter.) All right? So that's not the right direction.
But there -- so we could talk about issues, but the biggest difference I think -- and it's going to be true for me and others who talk about it -- is that this is a time when America wants change. Washington is broken. That was the message coming out of Iowa. I've heard it across the country. Washington is broken. Not just the White House, not just Congress -- Washington can't get the job done on immigration, on lowering taxes, on fixing schools, on getting health care, on overcoming radical jihad. They want change.
Barack Obama looked at several senators steeped in long history in the Senate and completely blew them away in the Iowa caucus. It's a message of change.
And when we sit down and talk about change -- Barack Obama and myself, in that final debate, as you're positing -- I can say, "Not only can I talk change with you, I've lived it. In the private sector for 25 years, I brought change to company after company. In the Olympics -- it was in trouble -- I brought change. In Massachusetts I brought change. I have done it."
MR. GIBSON: I'm --
MR. ROMNEY: "I have changed things, and that experience is what America is looking for."
MR. GIBSON: I'm just going to try to keep us on time.
MR. ROMNEY: You look at that debate with Barack Obama -- I'm looking forward to head-to-head.
SEN. MCCAIN: I just wanted to say to Governor Romney, we disagree on a lot of issues, but I agree, you are the candidate of change. (Laughs, laughter.)
Look, the difference I would have with Senator Obama has got do with national security. I know Senator Obama, and I've worked with him many times and I respect him, as I respect Senator Clinton. Senator Obama does not have the national security experience and background to lead this nation. We are facing the transcendent challenge of the 21st century, and that is radical Islamic extremism. In his recent statements on various foreign national security issues I've strongly disagreed, but I am -- can make it perfectly clear that it requires a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience and a lot of background to have the judgment to address the challenges that our nation faces in the 21st century.
MR. ROMNEY: May I make a comment?
MR. SPRADLING: Sure.
MR. ROMNEY: One -- one, the continued personal barbs are interesting, but unnecessary.
But number three -- or number two, Hillary Clinton -- Hillary Clinton and Bill Richardson and Senator Dodd and Senator Biden all made that same argument in Iowa, and Barack Obama blew them away. And if you think making that argument as a Republican -- that you have more experience and you've been around longer in the Senate -- that that's somehow going to -- and that you know the cloakroom, the Senate cloakroom, better than he does -- that's not going to work.
MR. THOMPSON: It was an Iowa Democratic primary -- (inaudible).
MR. ROMNEY: You're going to have -- you're going to have -- you're going to have to -- you're going to have to have -- you're going to have to have a person -- (laughter) --
SEN. MCCAIN (?): Yeah, this --
MR. ROMNEY: You're going to have --
SEN. MCCAIN (?): This was an Iowa Democrat primary we're talking about.
MR. SPRADLING (?): Yeah, go ahead.
MR. ROMNEY: America wants change.
MR. GIBSON: Nuclear is a very interesting issue here in the state of New Hampshire. Governor Huckabee?
MR. HUCKABEE: Well, I think it's -- it is possible to get energy-independent, and do it within a decade. We're the same country that built the atomic --
MR. ROMNEY: In 10 years?
MR. HUCKABEE: I believe we can, if we want to. If we un-tax the possibilities of the innovations and technologies. If we also look at the fact that if -- put an incentive out there that's just truly something dramatic -- a billion-dollar bonus for the first person who can produce a car that can get 100 miles per gallon.
In addition to that, look at the alternative forms of energy that we can use. Everybody's talked about --
MR. THOMPSON: Complete without a windfalls profits tax? (Laughter.) There'd be no windfalls profits tax on that?
MR. HUCKABEE: There wouldn't be. And I don't believe --
MR. THOMPSON: I agree. (Laughs.)
MR. HUCKABEE: -- there should be, Fred, because I think we ought to un-tax innovation, un-tax income. Anything -- any time you penalize productivity, it's counterintuitive to an economy. And one of the reasons that we're dependent is because we have allowed the oil companies to dictate not just prices, but policy. And it's time to say that we're not going to allow dictators, whether it's the Middle East or from Venezuela, to continue to, in essence, enslave the American people, which is exactly what we've done.
Senator McCain is right. We have an issue now where we're paying for both sides of the war on terror. We pay for it with our tax dollars to fund the military, but every time we swipe our credit card in the gas pump, we might as well be sending a check over to the madrassas that are training the terrorists that eventually are going to come back to us. And that's why it's got to be an urgent matter of utmost priority.
MR. GIBSON: We are just about out of time, but Governor Romney, you're going to have the final word.
MR. ROMNEY: We're going to have to deal with this in an honest way with the American people, and that is this is not something that's going to get solved in 10 years. We can't become energy-independent in 10 years, but we can get ourselves on a track to do that, with all the ways that Senator McCain and Mayor Giuliani and Fred Thompson have described. We can get there. It's going to require a far more substantial investment by our nation in energy technology.
Right now we spend about $4 billion a year on new sources of energy and energy efficiency. We're going to have to increase that dramatically. And American corporations -- last year they spent more money defending tort lawsuits than they spent on research and development. We're upside-down.
The future of a great nation like ours depends on leading the world in technology and innovation, in energy in particular. This has to be our highest domestic, economic priority. Get ourselves on a track to become energy-secure and energy-independent. We can do that. It's within our grasp, but it's going to take real -- the reality, rather than just the political rhetoric we've seen over the last 25 years.

What if the colonists weren't forced to pay higher taxes?
Victor Mejia
If the colonists weren't forced to pay higher taxes then the colonists wouldn't have gotten angry at Britain and not revolted. If they never revolted then the American Revolution would have never happened, making the present much different than it is right now. We would all have different accents and have a queen, our education would also be different because we would use the metric system.

There are very few apps available on Android for navigation purpose and among those available apps, neither is as reliable as Google's own Google Maps app. We have noticed that Google Maps seldom fails to give you perfect directions. But these days we have found that many Google Maps users are complaining about compass calibration.
So if you want to know the right way to calibrate your compass in the Google Maps app on Android, then here is how you can do that.
For Google to gather more information about you, you need to calibrate your compass which is in-built in the app. However, when you see the new Google Maps update you will see that it is asking to calibrate their compass exactly like the image below is directing you.
All the three ways shown in the image are actually wrong. There is a special way to calibrate compass on the Google Maps and yet it can't be called effective either. So all you need to do is to follow that Figure-8 method which is popular for ages now. Just follow the steps given below and calibrate compass in Google Maps in the right way.
How to Calibrate Compass in Google Maps on Android Phone
Step #1: Open your Google Maps app on your Android phone.
Step #2: Hold your device out in front of you at your arm's length.
Step #3: Now move the arm in the air creating figure-8 patterns.
Step #4: While doing the above, please make sure that you do not twist the direction of your phone.
Now your Google Map will be able to collect all the details about the location and will calibrate the compass properly. Hope you have successfully able to calibrate your Google Map by using the above-mentioned tips.

Stunning at 70 â how do they do it?
3 June 2016
Stunning at 70 – how do they do it?
Did you know that 70 is the new 50? And it's no wonder when you look at some of the 70-year-old celebrities gracing the red carpet. So just how do they do it? Your favourite septuagenarians reveal the secret to looking young.
- Diane Keaton, 70
For Diane Keaton, the secret of youth lies in proper sun protection. The 70-year-old admitted to carrying sunscreen with her whenever she leaves the house.
She explained: "Back in my 20s I didn't pay much attention [to sun care]. I didn't research and didn't really care and that was stupid because it's dogged me my entire adult life, even recently. I didn't start suncare until my 40s."
- Helen Mirren, 70
Having famously portrayed the Queen, Helen Mirren rules the roost when it comes to looking great for your age. Her secret? Keeping up with the latest trends.
She said: "A lot of women get stuck at what they're good at and what they did between 18 and 28. They never have the courage to change that. You see women from the 60s still with their beehives and now they're in their 70s."
When it comes to beauty, the star is an advocate of a good cleansing regime, adding that smoking also plays a part in premature ageing.
- Cher, 70
The newly-turned 70-year-old has undergone Cosmetic Surgery over the years in a bid to stay youthful. Despite this, she maintains that good genes have prevented her from ageing before her time.
She cites her mother, Georgia Holt, who turns 90 next month and has retained her youthful looks.
- Joanna Lumley, 70
The glamorous Joanna Lumley admitted to having Dermal Fillers regularly to keep her looking young.
She said: "I've had collagen to fill out a scar on my chin. I've also used it on deep lines across my forehead. It can stop you looking worried or tired."
Whatever they're doing, these stars look great. What are your top Anti-Ageing tips? Share them with us today on Facebook.

India Sports Minister Invites Comments On Draft Of National Sports Development Bill
Published July 23, 2013
RELATIONSHIP ISSUES: The AP reported former Int'l Cricket Council CEO Haroon Lorgat said on Monday he was "saddened" by what he called his "poor relationship" with India's board, a situation that led to the "powerful" Board of Control for Cricket in India even expressing its opposition to him leading South African cricket. The South African said that "he was still not completely sure what the BCCI's problems with him were, but he wanted to smooth them over." He said that an ICC ethics officer "had cleared him of any wrongdoing relating to working outside his remit at the world body," but did not elaborate further. Lorgat said, "I will do my level best to understand what the issues are with those who are not happy. If I need to sit across the table, go to India, whatever it takes" (AP, 7/22).

Fox Theatre
Thursday, April 7 at 7:00 & 10:00 p.m.
Because I'm a fiend, I had tickets for both the 7 pm and 10 pm shows. He was hot for the first show, but on fire for the second. He opened the second show with "When Will We Be Paid for the Work We've Done?" and projected a photo of a pair of wrists in shackles. Oh yeah, his mood had shifted to social justice, and immediately we knew that this set was going to be completely different from the 7 pm set. He had a few times when he was feeling it so much that he paused on the piano, said, "Y'all ain't ready," and stood up and walked/bopped around the stage, communicating every bit of each magical, music energy moment. We cheered and refused to leave (there was not another show that night) for four encore calls at the 10 pm show, until finally he finished the night with "Purple Rain." He knew that's what we needed; that that's what we were holding out hope for. Lawd, I was glad I went to both shows. I had no idea that the only singing of "Purple Rain" that night would be his last. When he finished singing, picked up his jacket and cane and walked off stage, we were at peace with letting him go; the house lights came on; no more encore cheers, just so much respect and admiration for him always being at the top of his game.

You could potentially lease the home to get a passive earnings as well as deal with it as much as promote all over again in a greater rate latinousa.tumblr.com. The choice is going to be your decision. But very first, let us deal with the basics of the forelcosed house.
A house is foreclosed once the entrepreneurs prevent producing payments. Typically this transpires in the event the operator has lost their position or can now not just take treatment of them selves. Then the home is reverted back towards the lender ownership. The particular foreclosures usually takes a few weeks, due to paperwork. Nevertheless, after everything is squared absent it can be then put on the real estate market. Usually, they list the house effectively down below its worth as a way with the house to maneuver more quickly plus they could possibly get their income again in just an affordable time.
From time to time, a foreclosed house continues to be left empty and un retained for rather some time. If this is often the situation in homes which you appear at, test to have a look at the bigger image. If you will find only slight challenges, they are often simply fixed.

An woman in the audience of the widely popular Dr. Oz show recently gushed "I haven't seen a doctor in eight years.You're the only one I trust."
Uh oh. Better schedule a check-up with a real physician STAT!
Millions of viewers are in love with the television doc who has made a fortune telling viewers how to cure medical problems and live a healthier life. It's time to turn off the telly and listen to research based on actual science. You know, the stuff that's proven by exhaustive research and medical trials.
"Misleading at best, total nonsense at worst" is how Julia Belluz describes her gut feeling over the years about the accuracy of 52 year old Dr. Mehmet Oz's medical advice. Now science is backing her up in a study published in the British Medical Journal. The study analyzed health recommendations from Oz's syndicated TV talk show.
Hang on to your remote controls - The researchers found that about half of the suggestions offered by Dr. Oz's show and others either contradicted what other scientific studies had found or had no verifiable evidence.
Raspberry ketone anyone?
It's not hard to understand the popularity of "America's doctor". Mehmet Oz is an everyday type of guy, speaking simply and clearly.
Eric Rose is a professor of surgery at the Mount Sinai medical school and works with Siga Technologies, a biotechnology firm that develops treatments for lethal diseases like smallpox and Ebola fever.
"I want to stress that Mehmet is a fine surgeon," Rose says. "I think if there is any criticism you can apply to some of the stuff he talks about it is that there is no hierarchy of evidence."
He continues, "In many respects, Mehmet is now an entertainer. And he's great at it. People learn a lot, and it can be meaningful in their lives. But that is a different job. In medicine, your baseline need has to be for a level of evidence that can lead to your conclusions. I don't know how else you do it. Sometimes Mehmet will entertain wacky ideas—particularly if they are wacky and have entertainment value."
Researchers looked at 479 health tidbits from Dr. Oz's show and 445 from The Doctors, another popular syndicated medical show. Most of the shows' suggestions involved dispensing general medical advice, followed by non-weight-loss dietary tips.
While the benefits of many of the claims were talked about in a general way, specific benefits and magnitude of those benefits, possible drawbacks, and costs were virtually ignored, the study found. The researchers' conclusion? "Consumers should be skeptical," and we should ask ourselves "whether we should expect medical talk shows to provide more than entertainment."

congrats to a great update of your website. really like it!
Hi Josef,
Congratulations on the new site. It looks great and is nice and fast. If I had to pick out one piece for you to think about – it would be the 'weight' of the 'navigation' font. I personally think that a 'weight' of '400' (instead of the current font-weight: 800) would sit better in the overall design. The weight of the font is actually fighting with the logo for my attention.
All in all though – I like the site.
Best of luck man… well done.

"My Wife Died on Hexworthy"
About: Derriford Hospital Derriford Hospital Plymouth PL6 8DH
Posted by Matthew Burchell
My Wife was treated as if she deserved her illness. She had been in and out of Derriford many times, but Hexworthy is by far the worst ward I have ever seen. She needed a drink and though I asked three times, no staff tried to help. If she was alone it would have taken a minimum of 2 1/2 hours before anyone cared, even after that time nobody checked on her. Excuses were given. Frankly I don't care if you're short staffed. Was that Her fault? Do I pay less attention to my loved ones? I'm sorry if we inconvenienced you. That's what it feels like, we're getting in the way of your little private social club. Shockingly bad and I will never forgive this horrific, careless hospital. Do as you will lawyers, I don't care anymore. You took my love away from me and I have nothing more to lose. I'm not posting anonymously. I want you to know who I am.
Response from Mary Anderson, Senior Quality Facilitator, Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust 3 years ago
Dear Mr Burchell
Firstly, may I express sincere condolences to you following your recent loss. I was very concerned to read of Mrs Burchell's poor experiences on Hexworthy Ward and I appreciate this is an extremely distressing time for you and your family.
I would like to thank you for reporting your concerns and I would be grateful for the opportunity to hear more from you. I am keen to ensure that any concerns you have are appropriately investigated so that where indicated, we can improve the service to our patients.

Kindest regards

PostgreSQL is an open source object-relational-database system that exists more than 15 years. PostgreSQL can be run on all major operating systems, including Linux, UNIX (AIX, BSD, HP-UX, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X, Solaris, Tru64), and Windows. PostgreSQL has full support for foreign keys, joins, views, triggers, and stored procedures (in multiple languages). It includes most SQL:2008 data types, including INTEGER, NUMERIC, BOOLEAN, CHAR, VARCHAR, DATE, INTERVAL, and TIMESTAMP. PostgreSQL also supports storage of binary large objects, including pictures, sounds, or video. PostgreSQL has native programming interfaces for C/C++, Java, .Net, Perl, Python, Ruby, Tcl, ODBC, among others, and exceptional documentation.
Frontware proposes PostgreSQL as an alternative rather than MS SQL Server because it's powerful, easy to install and free. The couple Ubuntu 11.04 x64 Server + PostgreSQL 9.0 is the database solution Frontware proposes if the customer wants to avoid Microsoft licenses fee for Windows Server + MS SQL 2008. Any .Net application can access the PostgreSQL database without any problem or any client license. Of course any PHP application or ASP .Net can access it too. PostgreSQL is very secure, offering a SSL connection between client and server. We prefer PostgreSQL to Mysql because PostgreSQL is real open source, very capable on high load work and enforcing data integrity.
PostgreSQL is the Odoo database, it's safe, fast and complete open source solution for ERP. See more details here.

'There is always a history to the shape of the mind', wrote Jacqueline Rose recently, and one of the continuing preoccupations of these poems has been both to create a sense of the many forms of that shape and to register the history of the worlds which shape it and to which it responds with pleasure, guilt, anger, irony, hatred or love. These are poems which welcome distraction, in various forms, and which seem to have a lasting interest in registering and reproducing a sense of the uncanny. The strategies adopted veer between lyric mannerism and reconstructed second-hand words and, taken together, the poems chart a lazy form of investigative political thinking through the last three decades of the twentieth century and their phenomena.
'The questions of war, civic space, and the surreal quality of everyday life command the view in this singular and eloquent work. Moreover the keen intonation of each poem via the handled delicacies of accent and stress deploys language to work some ethical discernment which is far from inconsequential.' —D.S. Marriott

Match a manual entry to a bank transaction
If you've created a manual bank transaction in FreeAgent and then uploaded your bank statement with that transaction on, you may need to match the two together.
First, you'll need to create the manual transaction as normal.
Then upload the bank statement as normal.
Once you've done that, if you look at the month view for the month during which those transactions were dated, you'll see both transactions. Select the unexplained uploaded transaction, the red one of the two.
Choose 'More Options (alternatively, you can hold down the 'alt' key on your keyboard while you select the transaction) to access the 'Edit a transaction' screen. FreeAgent will give you the option to use the existing manual entry.
If you have more than one manual entry, make sure that the correct one is ticked. FreeAgent will look for manual entries within a few days of the uploaded entry, they don't have to have the same date. You can also explain multiple manual entries against an uploaded transaction by repeating this process.
Then select Use Selected Entry.
When you look at the month view again, you'll see that the transaction is showing as one explained transaction.
If you choose to auto-explain transactions when you upload them, you may find that FreeAgent automatically allocates an uploaded transaction to a matching manual one, saving you these steps.
Explaining Bank Transactions
- Editing and removing bank transaction explanations
- Explain bank transactions
- Money received from and paid to users
- Money to or from the EU
- Pay off multiple invoices in one payment
- Receipt for a foreign currency invoice - manual transactions
- Receipt for a foreign currency invoice - uploaded transactions
- Split a bank transaction between two categories
- Split a transaction for commission or charges deducted
- Types of payment and receipt

I've had a look at Style Properties: Sidebar but can't see anything obvious in there to change things.
I've inspected the element & it looks like the colour for the post title is taken from .secondaryContent
But when I've changed that it's changed the colours elsewhere as well, which I don't want.
The post details are from body .muted, again when I change that it also changes in places I don't altered.
I've tried adding .sidebar .secondaryContent to extra.css but that doesn't change the new post sidebar.
I'm sure it must be something obvious but I'm missing it at the moment.

Episode selection for ozone modelling and control strategies analysis on the Swiss Plateau
An episode selection procedure was developed and applied to select sets of days representing characteristic meteorol. conditions leading to high ozone episodes over the Swiss Plateau. The selection procedure was applied to data extending from Jan. 1991 through Dec. 1998, and is comprised of two steps: First, days were classified according to obsd. air quality and meteorol. characteristics using classification and regression trees anal. (CART). Second, the CART results were used in conjunction with obsd. air quality data to identify sets of days characteristic of those leading to elevated ozone. These sets of days were selected to optimize how well a limited no. of days represented seasonal air quality, and that formed longer episodes for use in the air quality modeling. CART anal. was performed for three zones of the Swiss Plateau that have different air quality and meteorol. characteristics. The results for two zones were used together in the episode selection procedure in order to identify days representative for the whole Plateau. Meteorol. anal. for a third zone suggested that it would be strongly impacted by pollutants transported in from outside the country. One thousand and eight hundred optimization runs were performed to minimize the likelihood that the set of days was a local optimum, increasing the robustness for use in air quality modeling anal. Fifteen days, grouped in four episodes ranging from 3 to 5 days were selected along with their calcd. representativeness (or wt.) to recreate a seasonal metric. The variety of local as well as regional meteorol. characteristics showed that the episode selection procedure chose days representing a diverse set of meteorol. situations which are assocd. with elevated ozone. This set of episodes can now be used to test air quality strategies.

Sherpa (M). Director: Jennifer Peedom. 96 minutes
In April 2013, an altercation broke out between Sherpa and Western climbers on the middle slopes of Mt Everest. While accounts conflicted in their specifics, it seems the catalyst was a breach of etiquette by the Europeans, with the potential to hinder or endanger the Sherpa as they worked. Longstanding resentment based in a perception that Sherpa assume the bulk of the risk but a fraction of the credit for Western climbers' achievements on the world's highest peak boiled over, with dangerous results.
A year later and with those events as a jumping off point, Australian filmmaker Jennifer Peedom travelled to Everest, to document the sizeable tourist industry at the mountain from the perspective of its often unspoken heroes, the Sherpa. She sets her sights on Phurba Tashi, from the village of Khumjung, Nepal, who works as a guide for New Zealander Russell Brice's expedition company. At the time Phurba had summited Everest 21 times — once shy of a world record.
Her film explores Phurba's home and family life: the spiritual dimensions of his and other Sherpa's relationship with Chomolungma, Everest; and his wife's fear for his safety in what is an extremely dangerous (if well-paid, by ordinary Nepalese standards), profession. It also charts the often-fraught relationship between Western climbers and Sherpa, from Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay up to today's half-billion-dollar industry, dominated by Western tour companies and largely staffed by Sherpa.
If Peedom was expecting to find signs of a growing sense of self-agency behind the docile facade of the legendary 'Smiling Sherpa', she couldn't have predicted a rawer or more tragic scenario against which it would play out. The film details the risks endured by Sherpa working for the tour companies in Everest's notorious Khumbu Icefall; then, when an avalanche comes through and kills 16 Sherpa doing just that, Peedom and her crew are there to capture the aftermath.
It is a harrowing and politically provocative account. After confronting the initial grief and shock, the other Sherpa on the mountain become outraged at the meagre compensation offered by the Nepalese government to the dead Sherpa's families. They feel that the industry on Everest is a cash cow for the government, yet has been poorly regulated by them. What's more, they collectively don't wish to keep climbing that season, out of respect for their deceased friends and colleagues.
This predictably does not sit will with the Western climbers and tour operators. For some members of Brice's group, this year marks their second tilt at the summit, after a previous tour several years earlier was cancelled due to dangerous conditions. They feel the outlay of time and money, not to mention the 'bucket-list' imperative to conquer the peak, entitle them to proceed. Their sense of injustice is directed at the striking Sherpa, as is that of some tour operators (with at least one eye on the bottom line).
Polite facades peel away to reveal ugly attitudes. The indignant Sherpa are dismissed as 'hot-headed' by one tour operator, and compared disparagingly to the Arab Spring. One American climber, responding to a dubious claim that some Sherpa have threatened others with violence if they keep climbing, dubs them 'terrorists' and refers inanely to September 11. So readily is the cage of privilege rattled by the sound of marginalised voices amplified by unity and conviction.

When a remote valley in the north of Iceland is struck by an outbreak of scrapie - a fatal, degenerative disease that affects sheep - Gummi, Kiddi and their farmer neighbours must face the prospect of conducting a mass slaughter. This is very much a communal crisis, and a consideration of the socioeconomic hardships of traditional Icelandic sheep farmers in modern times. But it's also a teasing-out on the personal level of Gummi and Kiddi's emotional and practical responses to this turn of events.

With more than 30 dead in Brussels just a few short months after the horrors in Paris, the Western world again confronts an assailant in ISIS who deals in fear and bloodshed. In contemplating our responses to such attacks we recognise the historical and current geopolitical realities that have bred the ideologies that fuel them. This messiness is the stuff of a new British film that arrives in Australia this week, which explores the plight of those who might be 'collateral damage' in the hyper-technological 'war on terror'.

When questioned about diversity in his films recently, Joel Coen replied: 'You don't sit down and say, "I'm going to write a story that involves four black people, three Jews, and a dog".' The answer is disingenuous at best. Filmmakers choose what stories to tell and how; with a few exceptions, the Coens tell stories about white men. Just as Quentin Tarantino ought to continue discussing the role violence and misogyny play in his films, the Coens should engage meaningfully with questions of diversity.

In the history of the Second World War and the deathly screed of the Final Solution, the Sonderkommando cuts a pitiable figure. These Jewish prisoners at Auschwitz and other death camps who were forced to perform the logistics surrounding mass murder - the carting and disposal of dead flesh - though patently victims, were viewed by some as collaborators. Son of Saul provides an immersive and impressionistic extrapolation of this ethical and actual horror.

As Kate plans a party for their 45th wedding anniversary, news arrives that the body of Katya, Geoff's long-dead first love, has been discovered in a Swiss glacier. The 'life-lie' that emerges turns out to be not so much a concealment but rather a minimisation of truth. The disruption it causes to an ostensibly happy marriage comes not in the form of shocking revelation, but slow-dawning realisation; not that Geoff isn't the man he purported to be, but that Kate may not be what she believed herself to be, to him.

Bette Lou Higgins is a storyteller with Eden Valley Enterprises, an organization that uses dramatic storytelling to educate people about history and heritage. Her programs not only educate, they instill a desire to learn even more.
In this sample excerpt of my interview with Bette Lou for Public Speaking Super Powers, she talks about her journey to public speaking success. "We tripped across a way of doing [our programs] as a reader's theater program … and that allowed us to do sort of a dramatic reading which of course cut the rehearsal time dramatically. Then, because it was such a smaller operation, I started doing those myself."
You can also find this sample interview on Spreaker.
"I think that to one degree or another everybody is a public speaker. They don't believe it, they don't realize it, and I mean…. You can't get through a day without public speaking, it's just that nobody ever thinks about the fact that they are standing in public talking."

About the Creator
Write me! I started writing in 1997. Not that I wanted to write; I always had other plans! Life ..where was it leading? I found myself doing anything that would keep me from slipping back into the superficial existence I felt trapped in. I needed something more, something that would provide greater freedom to be myself; something both fascinating and meaningful. I was determined to never again trap myself, determined to never again lose myself at the sake of my own individualality. Truth inspired me, depth inspired me; Color, creativity, and imagination intrigued me. Where would I find what I searched for? I waited and wondered, keeping up with the pace of what needed to be done. To keep myself busy I began putting my mother's writings from her many journals into books bound with ribbon. Little did I know I was a writer in training. My own heart eventually opened up to a new world; a world full of truth, creativity, and dreams! Writing takes me as far as I am willing to travel!

31 Celebrities Who Didn't Need Photoshop… But Got It Anyway.
