2 tablespoons
olive oil
yellow onion, chopped
4 cups
1 cup
1/4 cup
1 teaspoon
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper
lemon, quartered
green onions, chopped
1 cup
plain yogurt
I loved it, so did my daughter. I did change it just a little, I sauted the onions with fresh minced garlic and I substituted some of the water with an equal amount of chicken broth instead and took out the salt.
I found this recipe very good, as I like lentils very much. Also they are extremly healthy. There were a few simple changes I made to adjust this recipe to my taste. first off, I cut the salt in half, I prefer lower sodium. I also like a little more spice so I added 1/4 tsp curry powder. Lastly I added 1 chopped carrot, for added flavor,texture and color. I accompanied this dish with warm artisan sourdough bread.
I think this is a wonderful dish for a cold day to warm up your family and keep them healthy.

Pretty good. I'm of Armenian desent and my Mother made a similar dish but more of a soup. My non-Armenian wife loves it and it IS healthy and NO THERE IS NOT TO MUCH SALT!
This recipe just proves that the simplest of ingredients can produce wonderful results. Absolutely delicious! I didn't know I liked lentils so much! I served this as a side dish to the "Lahmahjoon (Armenian Pizza)" recipe. I had some lamb bones left from that recipe, which I used to make a stock to substitute for the water in this recipe. I also added a little bit of cucumber and mint to the yogurt sauce, just because I had them on hand. It was delicious. The ingredients list calls for a lemon wedge, but the directions indicate lime. Either would be delicious, but we used lime. My kids gobbled this up and asked for more. I can't wait to eat the leftovers for lunch tomorrow! Thank you so much for a recipe we will make over and over!
I had my doubts about this dish up until the final taste test before serving it, but the lemon and scallions really work wonders and complete the dish nicely. I added a carrot cooked with the onions and put some chicken bouillon cubes in the water instead of adding salt. And instead of plain yogurt, I whipped up a garlic-mint-cucumber yogurt sauce (like tzatziki)
Far too much salt was added to make acceptable. More fresh vegetable salads, next time! Thank you.
Just ok. This recipe is a good starting point, but it needs more flavor. I added chopped bell pepper and celery as well as cumin, but it was still missing something. I will probably play with it some more and figure out what spices it needs. On the plus side, the yogurt topping is a nice touch-adds a little extra tanginess.
Delicious! Will definitely be making this again. Thanks!

They have the most sinful donut holes and they are a mom and pop shop so they remember you if you come often. Everytime I have gone and theres been a long line I hear everyone say that they would rather be waiting in line here than go literally across the street to Shipleys. I have converyed many people on this place.
Great Kalaches – I didn't even know this place existed, since it is hidden back in a shopping mall, until a friend sent me there. Best Kalaches I have found in Austin and the service is very friendly.
Best Donuts in South Austin! – You can't go wrong with KC Donuts. They are fast and friendly and offer a great variety of donuts, tacos and more. Their kolaches are much better than Shipleys and the glaze donuts are the best.
KC Donuts has the best donuts. It also has great breakfast burritos and breakfast Croissants. Its slightly expensive but very worth it. The staff is great and they serve breakfast all day.

Coroner: Exposure, alcohol cause of missing man's death
NEWS-SUN STAFF REPORT January 24, 2013 11:14AM
Joey Frase
Updated: February 26, 2013 6:28AM
Lake County Coroner Dr. Thomas Rudd said the missing Grayslake man whose body was found at Campbell Airport died of a combination of alcohol and exposure to the elements.
Rudd said a Wednesday autopsy revealed that Joey Frase, 20, died from exposure and the young man had an alcohol reading of .09, which is above the legal limit of .08. He also said that Frase was not dressed for the weather. Toxicology results will take a few weeks.
Frase was found dead in a tree line Tuesday morning after police and fire personnel from the area were searching the airport grounds around 10:35 a.m., said Grayslake Police Chief Phil Perlini.
Rudd said there were no external signs of trauma on the body that would suggest foul play.
Round Lake Park Police Chief George Filenko said he called in evidence technicians with the Lake County Major Crime Task Force to gather evidence at the scene as a precaution.
Friends said Frase was walking home from a party in nearby Round Lake, but never made it home.

The target annual distribution is the implied cash flow yield based upon an assumed net asset value per unit of $10.00 and the targeted monthly distributions set out in the relevant fund's prospectus dated November 29, 2012. There is no assurance that the targeted monthly distributions will be made. The amount of distributions may fluctuate from month to month and there can be no assurance that a fund will make a distribution in any particular month. Return On Innovation Advisors Ltd., as manager of the funds, may increase or decrease the monthly distribution or discontinue the monthly distribution for a fund at any time without any notice and in any single instance.
Current yield based on previous closing market price and the annualized target distribution.
ROI Canadian High Income Mortgage Fund (RIH.UN), ROI Canadian Mortgage Income Fund (RIL.UN), and ROI Canadian Real Estate Fund (RIR.UN) (the "Funds") each use a derivative contract known as a forward purchase agreement. The maturity dates of the forward purchase agreements are January 16, 2017, November 1, 2013, and March 25, 2014 respectively. On March 21, 2013, the Federal Minister of Finance announced measures that would affect character conversion transactions where a derivative contract, such as a forward purchase agreement, is used to convert ordinary income into capital gains. The Funds will no longer be permitted to use forward purchase agreements with a term longer than 180 days and that are entered into or amended after March 20, 2013. This will result in ordinary income treatment for the derivative-based return once the forward purchase agreement matures.

AUSTIN -- Sixty thousand people are expected to come to the capital city for this year's South by Southwest festival. The new Hyatt Place Hotel downtown is ready to welcome the crowd when it officially opens it's doors Tuesday.
"We'll be checking people in at 10 a.m. tomorrow," said General Manager Brad Haas. "It's going to be a busy and fun day for us."
There are 296 rooms opening at Hyatt Place and Haas says 90 percent of them are already booked for SXSW.
"There's always a few last minute changes where people may have some cancellations here and there so we may still have a few rooms," Haas said.
The Austin area has on average 30,000 hotel rooms available, SXSW organizer Mike Shea says those were booked up fast.
"Yeah we need a lot more hotel rooms," Shea said. "Our hotels start selling out really some as early as September. And sometime in January we actually posted that most of the hotels were sold out."
And prices for those remaining rooms have skyrocketed. Travelocity shows the Holiday Inn Express in Buda is charging $633 dollars during SXSW.
"We do live in a world of supply and demand," Shea said. "With any situation like this where you have a popular event in a popular city it's going to cost you a little bit more but I still think that in a lot of ways the hotels that we have in Austin are good value for what you get during an event."
Shea says if you are determined to go to SXSW, you'll find a place to stay.

Kia Soul EV
Last modified: 02/10/14
The Kia Soul EV will be Kia's first zero-emission vehicle sold in the United States when it arrives in select markets in the third quarter.
Kia estimates the Soul EV will have a driving range of about 80 to 100 miles on a full charge. A 27 kilowatt-hour lithium polymer battery pack powers the Soul EV's 81 kilowatt electric motor, creating 109 hp and 210 pounds-feet of torque that Kia says will send the EV from 0 to 60 mph in less than 12 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 90 mph.
Sales will be limited to California and Oregon, in addition to some eastern states with EV-charging stations, including New York, New Jersey and Maryland.
Kia gave no guidance on production volume or pricing, other than to say it would be competitive with other battery electric vehicles already on the market.

Prep Boys Basketball: Silverado continues DSL win streak
APPLE VALLEY • The Silverado boys basketball team opened up Desert Sky League play in much the same fashion as it has the past few years on Wednesday night: with a big win.
Mateo Jones scored 19 points and the Hawks defeated Granite Hills 65-45, their 17th consecutive league win dating back to the 2010-11 season. All but two of those wins have come by at least 10 points.
The Cougars were up to the task for part of the game, matching Silverado's scoring output in the first and third quarters.
"I'm really proud of the kids, they faced some adversity at the beginning," Hawks coach David Brannon said. "Granite played well at the beginning and made us raise our game."

A New Rule Balances Wildlife and Off-Road-Vehicle Use on a North Carolina Beach
Congressional legislation and a pending civil suit threaten the future of a new rule that protects wildlife and allows vehicles on Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
Congressional legislation and a pending civil suit threaten the future of a new rule that protects wildlife and allows vehicles on Cape Hatteras National Seashore.
This is a far far cry from a factual reporing job here Anna. You begged and begged to get people to interview for this "piece" and the one buisness owner you interviews was so upset at your writing job that she complained to your editor to remove it but they did not. Someday you are going to apply for a job outside your Audobon worls and when they see this drivel you will not behired based on your lack of journalistic integrity.
As a nature loving pedestrian I am furious that I can no longer walk my favorite beaches on Hatteras or Ocracoke. They are closed, yes even at the waterline, unlike most other reasonable beaches which allow us to walk around the nesting birds/turtles to the water. The spits and remote beaches,the best in my opinion , are completely closed off. I have roamed both islands for over 55 years and now we can't.
I used to support all environmental groups and I now lecture against them...I now have been forced to join forces with the ORVers just to voice my opinion over the nonsense that prevails from the government in Hatteras and Ocracoke. I used to have the utmost respect for the park service for saving the island from the REAL CULPRIT HERE, the DEVELOPERS...why is the Audubon Society not going after the real culprit and making them tear down the overdevelopment that took away the beaches? Why isn't the Audubon going after those who build jetties, bulkheads, etc that don't allow the islands to move instead of going after us nature loving pedestrians?
No you do NOT need to close an entire beach to pedestrians for a turtle nest that is just sitting there or for a single digit bird nests that mother nature will mostly destroy anyway. While I am not huge fan of the large numbers of ORVs on any given beach at any given time I also am not a huge fan of the hotels, overdevelopment of MacMansion type rentals, and being forced to walk amongst tourists types...I prefer the really remote and now they are closed for an insignificant number of birds.
I find your article incorrect, one sided....tell your readers that the ENTIRE EAST COAST experienced an increased number of turtle nests last year and further more on many beaches that have no such restrictions. Tell your readers that the numbers of piping plovers have never been high here due to the fact that Hatteras is at the edge of their territory.
here's the truth said "last year Dare County had record receipts and bed occupancy rates last year "............northern dare county might have had record rates but not hatteras island which is distant and separate. a break down by town tells a different story.
Here's my "fiction":
As of June 15, 2012 there are 28.1 miles of beach "open" for driving. Of these 28.1 miles 14 are drivable. What happened to the other 14.1 miles you may ask? These are inaccessible miles that have the ocean to one side, dunes to the other and closures on each end. Is this "open"? Maybe if you have a beach landing craft. If not, good luck. Another 2.3 miles of "open" beach is the double counted Pole Road off of ramp 55 in Hatteras. First the beach of 2.3 miles is counted and then another 2.3 miles of road is counted. Plus, who wants to set up camp on a ROAD.
I think I'll stick with non-fiction and believe what I see, not what you say.
Although I live in central North Carolina, I am from and my home is coastal North Carolina. I have enjoyed recreational activities, such as fishing on Cape Point and surrounding areas, since I was a small child before the Oregon Inlet bridge was ever completed. In the mid '70s dad finally bought a place to live in Buxton and finally we were in fisherman's paradise with a place to stay whenever and for life --so we then thought.
As the years progressed, we never lost the desire to fish the area when we visited Dad. Even in the dead of winter, we'd go oyster-tonging in the sound. After I was married, my wife had never seen such a place for recreational fun on the beach. In the years to follow, my daughter came to love the place and relax with such admiration for the freedom of driving on the beach, taking in what nature had provided. Ever since I can remember Hatteras Island was always promoted as "The Fisherman's Paradise," promoting tourism -- but not now. In the '80s and '90s, my dad, brothers, and friends enjoyed many-years and many hours towing the 16-foot aluminum skiff to the Point. To us, it was not only fun of a lifetime but, it was dinner too.
In June 2002 the ol' aluminum skiff took its last journey to the Point with dad. My brother and dad launched in the Hook on the Point, hoping to catch dinner but, shortly after leaving shore, dad had a heart attack, so my brother beached the boat. But, Dad -- Tootie as many in the area knew him -- passed away later that evening at Albemarle Hospital. From that day on, the Point has somewhat been to us sacred ground.
All of my family continued enjoying the area with numerous spring, summer and fall visits right up until Thanksgiving – three to five days at a time, sometimes staying on the Point until sunset. And in 1937 (or there about) when all this land was donated to the National Park Service, this is exactly how the land and miles of beaches were intended to be used. Shortly after dad passed, my wife and her family started going for a week's stay in June and then July. However, in 2008 all nine of them were rudely run off the beach mid-week by the Park Service for what we all know today as the ill-fated, brainless decision made by a judge that has demonstrated plenty of book sense but not a single gram of common sense whatsoever. Some may even question if he even has the authority to put such restrictions or alter land use that our ancestors donated intending for it to be used without restrictions.
Since 2008, I now visit only once or twice a year because Hatteras Island just isn't a fun place anymore. My wife's family has not returned a single time since 2008. Over the past few years, I have continued to see the areas declining economic health. I look at Judge Boyle in many respects as a doctor who obviously has the power to alter the areas economic healing process but chooses to care not. We have always approached beach driving with respect for wildlife. However, it has become a sad day in America when a human authority figure allows a bird to become the basis for an areas economic death.
It's hard to believe the degree of fiction some people will put forth. As of last week, there were 31.8 miles of Cape Hatteras National Seashore open to anyone and everyone in America to enjoy. There were 17.6 miles open for off-road vehicle driving. That's plenty of room to roam for everyone.
From the beginning sentence of this article to the end there are too many lies to even begin to attempt to correct. Suffice it to say that if you are a reader at home, especially one who has never been to the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and you believe that all of this hogwash is true, then God help you in you naivety. Send the liars some more money please. Assuage your conscience by donating to the "good cause" while putting thousands of HUMANS who have lived and worked on Hatteras Island for centuries on the endangered species list.
And please, let's quit making this about ORV users and tell the truth about this one thing at least: people who like to drive out to the fishing spots are not the only ones affected by this..not by a long shot...pedestrians are also forbidden from huge sections of seashore. Miles and miles of seashore in fact. I have been out at sea and looked back on these gargantuan closed areas of shore and thought how truly sad it looks to see all this wonderful beach and absolutely no one, not a fisherman on foot, not a shell collector on foot, not a windsurfer, not an ORV driver..no one. And as these areas are increasingly closed to all human interface, more and more trash is piling up on these beaches. What a travesty.
So if you think that you are going to come to Hatteras Island and have a lovely long walk on the seashore undisturbed by those big bad vehicles..think again. In the very few areas left open to you, you will either have to walk through scrub brush (where there are plenty of poisonous snakes) or over the dunes. That's a great choice isn't it? And in the tiny areas where vehicles are allowed, there will be a lot of them since they are all being corralled into a few tiny spaces.
But come on down! Better go before it becomes a ghost town and there isn't anyone left to have a restaurant open, or a grocery store or a gas station or anywhere to buy an extra pair of binoculars.
"Proof is nothing but a collection of opinions that match your own. "
I was saddened to see another biased account about the Cape Hatteras National Seashore Recreational Area. There is so much wrong with this I don't even know where to begin.
By the way, I am not a ORV person but I do live here and I can't believe how skewed the information presented in this article is. I use to support another environmental group with donations but never, ever again.
Any visits from Audubon supporters would be appreciated. Don't expect to see any birds, in fact don't expect to have access to much beach, unless you are a strong walker and don't mind briers and sand burrs. However, our businesses, restaurants,rental homes, motels and campgrounds welcome you and your financial support.
The NPS Resource Reprt for this week shows that the Piping Plovers may not be as successful as they were in previous years. We cuurently have 5 nests, 1 brood, and 2 fledged chicks. This week in 2011 there were 3 nests, 5 broods and 2 fledged. In 2010 the numbers were 3, 5, and 8. Notice that in previous years there were 8nests and broods whereas this year there are only 6. For this, over 14 miles of beach are closed. In Buxton, there is only 0.4 miles of beach open to those of us who are less physically able. Kinda crowded at best.
Research at this seashore shows that the plovers were more successful when they could nest at more protected areas away from the dynamic, agressive ocean. The oceanand sound beaches are the only place visitors wish to go .Win/win and the goals of everyone are met.
This is probably the most absurd statement I've ever read. Nothing presented by Barbara is factual.

As a long-time Kings fan who watches every game, I couldn't agree more with this article. Coach smart has done a fantastic job of over-coaching and essentially killing Isiah's game for no reason. The one thing that wasn't broke last year was the fast paced offense with Isiah being aggressive at the point, but this year inexplicably Smart switched to a triangle offense where Isiah does little more than dump the ball to the post or high post.
Also, the Kings' point guards are forced to look over to the coach and get the play on almost every possession. Give me a break - let them play. Coach Smart is constantly yelling at Isiah and telling him to back off and I'm not sure why? He isn't given the same leash as players such as Garcia, Salmons, Evans, Thorton and Cousins who can all miss 10 shots and play horribly without consequence. However, the minute Isiah or Jimmer makes one turn-over or misses a couple shots they are immediately pulled.
There really is no long-term reason that Hayes, Garcia, Outlaw and Brooks should ever even see the floor. Salmons has been a pleasant surprise, but the others I just mentioned are pretty awful.

At a Tuesday meeting the Piedmont Board of Education declared the computers to be surplus items, a move that allows the school board to solicit bids for each individual device. By offering each device for sale individually the school system is, in effect, giving students the chance to purchase the older devices.
"To follow the state law we have to put them out to bid," Superintendent Matt Akin said. "I have had dozens of people ask what the process will be. I wish there could be another process."
The school system is selling the first generation of MacBooks it issued to students in 2010 when it began providing those in grades four through 12 with computers they can take home.
Akin said the school system would begin the formal bid solicitation process within the next two weeks by placing advertisements in The Piedmont Journal. Two weeks after the first advertisement runs people can begin putting bids in for the devices, he said.
The highest bidder will win, Akin added saying that the school system will set a minimum bid for each of the devices.
In March the system purchased new devices to replace those being sold; the new devices will be issued to students for the next school year.
Akin has said that like home computers, cell phones and other devices, the students' laptops must be updated periodically to remain current and function. The newer devices, MacBook Airs, are lighter, faster and more sturdy than the white, plastic-shell MacBooks they are replacing.
While the board decided to release 400 of the used devices, it also decided to retain 450 older plastic-shell computers to be used by students in the lower level grades and to be loaned to students in case one of the newer devices is damaged or in need of repair.
At the Tuesday meeting Akin also told the board that a state-required fund that is required to hold one-month's operating reserve is slightly depleted from a year ago. The fund holds $650,000, $10,000 less than it held a year ago.
Akin said the decline can be attributed to increased utility and internet fees.
Though the fund is slightly down Akin said the system is still in relatively "good shape."
The school board also slightly amended the next year's academic schedule due to an oversight in a calendar it adopted earlier this year. Instead of ending May 23 in 2014, the school year will end May 22.

Well suited for headlines, titling, weddings, advertisements and more, Origins has a realistic and custom lettered appearance - especially when combined with its many alternates. Use the ornaments specifically designed to complement this font to add appeal to your design.
About the designer:
A graphic designer since 1997, my focus has moved, through serendipity and lifelong fascination, to type design by implementing the craft of hand lettering. I also create a diverse selection of illustrative work. My love of letters began when I was nine years old. I learned italic printing in elementary school, I pursued it further, teaching myself different calligraphic styles from any book I could find on the subject. In college, a professor pointed me to pages in a design book's lettering section, and I swooned. Such an artistic and spontaneous task, with pen or brush pen or steel nib pen in hand, yet so controlled, as each letter perfectly approaches or intertwines with the next, in a flowing precision. An ageless craft yet, in the right hands, as effective in identity or messaging as the most modern method, as it subliminally adds a strongly human, and thus personal, element. I knew to my core that I'd found my lifework. In September of 2010, I transitioned from freelance graphic design to typeface design. The intent of my typefaces is to create something unique and well designed, filling a niche in the vast marketplace of fonts, and offering several design possibilities through the addition of alternates, swashes and ornaments. I love creating letters and I aim to demonstrate that passion through my designs. My hope is that my typefaces will assist you in your creative endeavors.

TipOne® filter tips have a hydrophobic filter made of ultra high-density polyethylene. The filter traps aerosols and airborne contaminants, greatly reducing the risk of sample carry-over and cross contamination. If your sample comes in contact with the filter, it will not be sealed within the tip. You may still dispense the sample for further use.
Each hinged rack is individually sealed in plastic and has a tear strip for easy opening without sharp instruments.
The Importance of Filter Tips
Any lab using air displacement pipettors is at risk for carryover of contaminants. As you aspirate, tiny amounts of sample can become aerosolized and enter the air space within the pipettor nosecone. Subsequent samples may be exposed to this contamination as air is displaced from the pipettor during dispensing. Todays laboratory procedures are becoming increasingly sensitive. Contamination can greatly affect experiments, resulting in a significant loss of time and/or rare samples. The right filter tips can prevent this loss and save the cost of laboratory reagents for repeated experiments.
Filter tips may also be effective in keeping pipette tip cones free from isotope contamination. The hydrophobic filters block accidental splashes or hot aerosols from contacting the pipettor. Liquid that comes in contact with the filter may be retrieved if necessary.
For additional protection from airborne contaminants, many labs use enclosed workstations. See more about PCR workstations.

The first day of school after the Sandy Hook school massacre brought a wave of fear, worry and outright threats to Chicago-area communities as educators and police sought to reassure people that efforts to protect their children would be redoubled.

Like Naperville Patch on Facebook.
Parents and educators everywhere were talking about school security even as incidents locally in the last three days underscored potential vulnerability. Here's a glimpse of what's taken place in the past few days.
In Downers Grove, parents discovered that schoolhouse doors were unlocked and flooded the district with calls. The school district decided to lock the doors this week and install temporary buzzers. Administrators will consider installing an advanced system. A buzzer and badge system is already in place at Glen Ellyn schools.
In Oak Lawn, police reviewed security procedures at public schools and parochial schools, and school officials were looking at the entry and exit doors to see what more could be done to prevent an intruder from entering the buildings.
In Clarendon Hills, rumors of a "kill list" brought to school by a middle school student prompted an investigation.
Elmhurst saw an increased police presence at schools, with . At York High School, entry and exit will be restricted to two doorways. And any student who opens a door for anyone will face disciplinary action, administrators told Patch.
A high school student in Elmhurst, however, told the school board that the security measures wouldn't prevent anything. School security isn't the issue said senior Anna Hovorka.
"Security isn't the matter at hand," she said. "The shooter had a mental illness. I think the School District needs to consider the fact that there are many students in our School District who have mental illnesses who are not seen or considered. The matter at hand is that that is who is a danger if anything were to happen."
Arrests and Threats
A trio of threats in the south suburbs underscored the raw nerves felt by many parents, with a police manhunt, a threat to shoot school children and another threat to kill school administrators.
Fears heightened Tuesday afternoon in the Tinley Park area as . Schools in Tinley Park and Oak Forest went on lockdown during the search, and schools in nearby Frankfort and Mokena went on soft lockdown, keeping the children inside during recess. Police officers were at the schools when classes ended for the day.
An arrest warrant was issued Tuesday for a former Lincoln-Way High School teacher accused of telephoning his former bosses in New Lenox earlier this month and threatening to kill them. Ryan Gardner, 40, checked himself into a mental health ward at a Chicago hospital, however, he could have checked himself out at any time. He faces felony charges.
The arrest warrant was forwarded to the police department at University of Illinois Hospital, said Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow. When he is released from care, he will be taken to jail. Glasgow said the mass murder in Newtown, CT, made this case more urgent for him.
"In light of what happened in Connecticut, we have to be at a heightened level," he said.
Meanwhile, in Palos Hills, a man arrested on DUI charges early Monday morning . Police went to 31-year-old Michael Lynch's Palos Hills home and confiscated his firearms and ammunition.
The governor said the Illinois State Board of Education, the Illinois State Police, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, and other state agencies will review school safety programs throughout the state.
More Guns or Gun Control?
Talked of increased security at schools also includes suggestions to arm teachers and others who work in the hallways. Richard Pearson, executive director of the Illinois State Rifle Association, said schools should hire armed security guards and give teachers guns and weapons training.
"Somebody has to be there that can stop (an attacker) at that moment," Pearson said.
However, several lawmakers have changed their positions on gun control measures. And others, including the mayor of Chicago, say now is a crucial moment for our nation to enact a ban on automatic weapons.
The president said Wednesday he will deliver to Congress an expansive set of gun control laws to consider in January.

The Jasper Riverwalk continues to expand in Dubois County.
"We'll be connecting from the German-American Boulevard across our city riverwalk, the 2.1-mile walk, along the Patoka River. Literally then, you can connect underneath the state highway's bridge, down to our gazebo and plaza area. That really is my favorite part of the boulevard," Mayor Seitz said.
During the dedication, the Redevelop Old Jasper Action Coalition, which put on the event, celebrated its 10 year anniversary.

Iranian-Americans, or Persian-Americans, are Americans of Iranian (Persian) ancestry or people possessing Iranian and American dual citizenship. Iranian-Americans are amongst the highest educated people in the United States.[5][6] They have historically excelled in business, academia, the sciences, arts and entertainment – but have traditionally shied away from participating in American politics or other civic activities.[7]

Iranian American is used interchangeably as Persian-American,[8][9][10][11] partially due to the fact[12] that Iran was called Persia officially prior to 1935; as well as the fact that Iran and Persia continue to be used interchangeably since classic times.[13] There is a tendency among Iranian-Americans to categorize themselves as "Persian" rather than "Iranian", mainly to disassociate themselves from the Iranian regime and the negativity associated with it, and also to distinguish themselves as being of Persian ethnicity, which is around 65% of Iran's population[8][14] Majority of Iranian-Americans are of Persian-speaking backgrounds, however there is also a significant number of non-Persian Iranians within the Iranian-American community,[14][15] leading some scholars to believe that the label "Iranian" is more inclusive, since the label "Persian" excludes non-Persian minorities from Iran.[14] The Collins English Dictionary uses a variety of similar and overlapping definitions for the terms "Persian" and "Iranian".[16][17]
Iranian immigration to the United States has been continuous since the 1980s. Between 1980 and 1990, the number of foreign born from Iran in the United States increased by 74 percent.[18] Today, the United States contains the highest number of Iranians outside of Iran. The Iranian-American community has produced significant numbers of individuals notable in many fields, including medicine, engineering, and business. The community chiefly expanded in the early 1980s, following the Iranian Revolution and its abolition of the Iranian monarchy.
Pre- and post-revolution migration[edit]
Prior to the Islamic revolution in Iran and the severance of diplomatic relations between the two countries, America and American universities were very popular among Iranians, and this popularity was a major force in drawing numerous Iranian students to the United States. During the 1977–1978 academic year, of about 100,000 Iranian students abroad, 36,220 were enrolled in American institutions of higher learning. During the 1978–1979 academic year, on the eve of the Iranian revolution, the number of Iranian students enrolled in American institutions rose to 45,340, and in 1979–1980 the number reached a peak of 51,310: at that time, more students from Iran were enrolled in American universities than from any other foreign country. Out of a total of 263,938 foreign student enrollment in the United States in the 1978–1979 academic year, 17% were from Iran.[citation needed] The expansion of Iranian economy and the resultant higher revenues were the cause of investments in students' education abroad, either directly by the government's financial aid services and/or indirectly by the students' families. This investment paid off and resulted in an excellent cohort of Western-educated professionals. Due to Iran's increasing demand for high-level manpower in the years prior to 1979, the majority of students were returning home after graduation to work including those who had received financial aid in exchange to serve the government or industry upon graduation. During and after the revolution, most students did not return to Iran and those who did, were gradually purged from the newly established Islamic Republic. Many students who graduated abroad after the revolution also did not return due to ruling clergy's repression. As the result, the educated elite who left Iran after the revolution and the new graduates in the United States who chose not to return home created a large pool of highly educated and skilled Iranian professionals in the United States. Today, over 1.5 million Iranians have chosen to leave Iran for other countries due to Islamic government's authoritarian practices.[19]
Although Iranians have lived in the United States in relatively small numbers since the 1930s, a large number of Iranian-Americans are immigrants to the United States after the Iranian Revolution of 1979. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, there were 338,000 Americans tracing heritage to Iran. The 2000 U.S. Census undercounted the numbers of many ethnic groups and minorities, including the Iranian-Americans.[20] The U.S. Government and other sources estimate that the numbers of Iranian-Americans are close to 2 million.[21][22][23][24][25][26]
Federal data on Iranian Americans is not derived from the question of race in the Decennial Census but rather from question of ancestry, which is collected through the annual American Community Survey (ACS). Data on Iranian ancestry from the annual ACS is available on the Census Bureau's American Factfinder website.[27] In 2010, the number of self-identified Iranian Americans in the US was 448,722.[1] Iranian Americans are most likely far more numerous in the United States than census data indicate, according to research done by the Iranian Studies Group, an independent academic organization, at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). The group estimates that the number of Iranian Americans may have topped 691,000 in 2004—more than twice the figure of 338,000 cited in the 2000 U.S. census.[5]
According to extrapolated U.S. Census data and other independent surveys done by Iranian-Americans themselves in 2009, there are an estimated one million Iranian-Americans living in the U.S.,[7] with the largest concentration—about 520,000 people—living around Los Angeles.[7][28] For this reason, the L.A. area with its Iranian American residents is sometimes referred to as "Tehrangeles" or "Irangeles" among Iranian-Americans.[29] Beverly Hills and Irvine both have large communities of Iranian Americans (26% of the total population of Beverly Hills is Iranian Jewish, making the city's largest religious community).[3][30][31] Half of the nation's Iranians reside in the state of California alone. Other large communities include New York/New Jersey, which have 9.1% of the U.S.' Iranian population, followed by Washington D.C./Maryland/Virginia (8.3%) and Texas (6.7%).[1][3]
Iranians of all religious backgrounds in the United States have comparatively a mix of liberal, conservative and nationalist political leaning and opinions. Iranian-Americans thus are largely secular and tend to practice moderate, less traditional religious forms, but have strong cultural traditions.
According to a 2012 Zogby-PAAIA poll, most Iranian-Americans appear not to practice any particular religion at all, showing many to be irreligious, agnostic and atheist.[4][32] The poll found the remaining balance split among Muslims, Christians, followers of Judaism, Baha'is and Zoroastrians, with the results as follows: Muslim: 31%, "No response": 15%, Atheist/Realist/Humanist: 11%, Agnostic: 8%, Baha'i: 7%, Jewish: 5%, Protestant: 5%, Roman Catholic: 2%, Zoroastrian: 2%, and "Other": 15%.[4]
"There are religious and ethnolinguistic differences among the Muslim, Jewish, Baha'i, Zoroastrian, Christian, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Kurdish, and Assyrian groups".[33] Calculating the percentage of Christian Iranian-Americans is difficult because most Iranian Christians are of Armenian or Assyrian origin and self-identify as such rather than as Iranian.[34]
The majority of Iranian-Americans are ethnic Persians, with sizeable ethnic minorities being Iranian Azerbaijanis, Armenian-Iranians, Iranian Kurds, and others.[35]
According to Hakimzadeh and Dixon, members of religious and ethnic minorities such as Bahai'is, Jews, Armenians, and Assyrians were disproportionately represented amongst the early exiles of the 1978–79 revolution.[36]
Nearly all Iranian-Americans are either citizens (81%) or permanent residents (15%) of the United States (2008 survey).[37] Iranian-Americans regard their culture and heritage as an important component of their day-to-day life and their overall identity within the United States.[38]
Occupations and income[edit]
The Small Business Administration (SBA) recently conducted a study that found Iranian immigrants among the top 20 immigrant groups with the highest rate of business ownership, contributing substantially to the U.S. economy. According to the report, there are 33,570 active and contributing Iranian American business owners in the U.S., with a 21.5% business ownership rate. The study also found that the total net business income generated by Iranian Americans is $2,559,450,000.[39] Almost one in three Iranian American households have annual incomes of more than $100K (compared to one in five for the overall U.S. population).[40]
According to Census 2000, 50.9 percent of Iranian immigrants have attained a bachelor's degree or higher, compared to 28.0 percent national average.[5] According to the latest census data available, more than one in four Iranian-Americans holds a master's or doctoral degree, the highest rate among 67 ethnic groups studied.[6] However, according to the latest U.S. Census news, Taiwanese Americans have the highest educational levels with at least 73.3 percent having a Bachelor's degree or higher.[41]
The earliest Iranian professionals in the U.S. before the 1979 revolution were the physicians. They were mostly young temporary trainees who worked as medical interns or residents. Some established themselves to continue practice beyond the residency stage. Their motives to extend their stay in the United States were more geared towards professional reasons than economics. Researcher from Johns Hopkins University in 1974 reported in the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) that in 1971 the number of Iranian physicians in the U.S. was 1,625.[42]
In 2013, another report was published in Archive of Iranian Medicine (AIM) that post revolution the number of Iranian Medical School graduates in the United States had grown to 5,045. Later, those who migrated to the U.S. after the 1979 revolution were mostly experienced physicians who came with their families and intent to stay permanently. As of 2013[update], there are a 5,050 Iranian Medical School Graduates in the United States.[43]
Prior to revolution the 1,626 physicians migrated to the United States were 15% of all medical graduates of Iranian medical school graduates while the 5,045 medical graduates who migrated post Islamic Revolution represent only 5% of total Iranian Medical Graduates. This is not indicative of the entire United States, merely of the areas in which most of the Iranian American population is concentrated.[44]
Though Iranian-Americans have historically excelled in business, academia and the sciences, they have traditionally shied away from participating in American politics or other civic activities.[7]
An August 2008 Zogby International poll, commissioned by the Public Affairs Alliance of Iranian Americans, found that approximately one half of Iranian Americans identified themselves as registered Democrats, in contrast to one in eight as Republicans and one in four as independents (2008).[37]
The same poll indicates that more than half of Iranian Americans cite domestic U.S. issues, including issues that are not unique to Iranian Americans, as the most important to them. In contrast, one quarter of Iranian Americans cite foreign policy issues involving U.S.-Iran relations and less than one in ten cite the internal affairs of Iran as being of greatest importance to them.[37]
From 1980 to 2004, more than one out of every four Iranian immigrants was a refugee or asylee.[5] The PAAIA/Zogby poll also cites that almost three-quarters of Iranian Americans believe the promotion of human rights and democracy in Iran is the most important issue relating to U.S.-Iran relations. About the same percentage, however, believe diplomacy is the foreign policy approach towards Iran that would be in the best interest of the United States. 84% support establishing U.S. Interest Section in Iran.[37] Nearly all Iranian Americans surveyed oppose any U.S. military attack against Iran.[45]
Ties to Iran[edit]
According to a survey conducted in 2009, more than six in ten Iranian Americans have immediate family members in Iran, and almost three in ten communicate with their families or friends in Iran at least several times a week. An additional four in ten communicate with their families or friends in Iran at least several times a month. This study indicates an unusually close relationship between Iranian Americans and Iranians.[45]
As of 2013, U.S. laws require U.S. persons to obtain a license from OFAC to engage in transactions related to the sale of their personal property in Iran.[46] Similarly, US persons will need a license from OFAC to open a bank account or transfer money to Iran.[47]
According to the Public Affairs of Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA), nearly half of Iranian-Americans surveyed in 2008 by Zogby International have experienced or personally know Iranian Americans who have experienced discrimination due to their ethnicity or country of origin. The most common types of discrimination reported are airport security check, social discrimination, racial profiling, employment or business discrimination and discrimination at the hands of immigration officials.[37]
