Australia flooding of 'biblical proportions' slashes coal, agriculture exports
Australia flood rescue and relief efforts are under way to deal with what officials have called a "disaster of biblical proportions."
By Stephen Kurczy, Staff writer / January 3, 2011
It hasn’t quite been 40 days and 40 nights of rain, but the Australia flooding has already been described as a “disaster of biblical proportions,” slashing coal exports, ruining crops, and stranding 75,000 people in a coastal town-turned-island. The flooding in northeastern Queensland covers an area the size of France and Germany combined, with at least 22 towns cut off or flooded. Authorities are saying that more than 200,000 people are affected, according to the Associated Press.

The refusal notice came on April 14, 2010 (http://www.asa.org.uk/Rulings/Adjud...i-Government-Tourist-Office/TF_ADJ_48345.aspx).

But as long as the music is playing, you’ve got to get up and dance. We’re still dancing.” This game of musical chairs, combined with the vulnerability of banks to dry-ups in funding liquidity, ultimately unfolded into the crisis that began in 2007."

http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/r...abdullah-barack-obamas-most-important-friend/
Thomas W. Lippman: Most important subject on the Obama-Abdullah agenda is Israel and the Palestinians two-state solution:
From Thomas W. Lippman who the adjunct senior fellow for Middle East studies at the Council on Foreign Relations. He is the author of several books, "Inside the Mirage: America's Fragile Partnership with Saudi Arabia."
According to American officials, the most important subject on the agenda is the faltering effort to forge a peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinians based on the two-state solution. Obama has repeatedly stated a commitment to that objective -- most recently after a meeting earlier this month with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas -- and for a while after the Cairo speech the Saudis believed he would actually make something happen. They no longer believe, because in their view Obama backed down in the face of Israeli intransigence on his demand for a complete halt in settlement activity in the occupied territories.
They still prefer Obama to his predecessor, but their impatience and disillusionment were readily apparent in conversations with officials and analysts in Riyadh third month. The dissatisfaction was reflected in a stinging speech delivered to an audience of diplomats and journalists by Prince Turki Al Faisal, former ambassador to the United States, who said the United States has forfeited the "moral high ground" in the Middle East through "negligence, ignorance and arrogance."
