MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin revenue agents have seized 70,000 packs of cigarettes that arrived in the state without tax stamps.
The state's excise tax on a pack of cigarettes is $2.52, so the Wisconsin State Journal reports that the state would have lost more than $175,000 in revenue on the cigarettes.
Revenue officials say the cigarettes came from a company located on the Winnebago reservation in northeastern Nebraska that's owned by Ho-Chunk Incorporated.
Deputy Revenue Secretary Jack Jablonski says the cigarettes were bound for retailers on Wisconsin reservations or trust lands for the St. Croix Chippewa, Ho-Chunk Nation and Bad River Band. He says regular shipments have been happening for some time.
Jablonski says it's illegal to transport unstamped cigarettes through Wisconsin without a license.

Dubai Airport Reopens after Emergency Landing
Dubai international airport reopened to air traffic on Saturday after a 12-hour closure when a Russian aircraft caught fire and made an emergency landing, a civil aviation spokesman said.
An Emirates flight from London was the first aircraft to land at 0510 GMT, he told AFP.
The airport had been shut down after an Aeroflot Ilyushin-86 made an emergency landing at 1615 GMT on Friday when one of its engines caught fire.
The Aeroflot Flight 521 from Moscow came down at the airport with one of its engines on fire. No one was injured in the incident.
The Ilyushin-86 aircraft was carrying 307 passengers and a crew of 15, reported the Gulf Daily News.
However, the accident and the subsequent closure of the airport disrupted regional airline traffic, with all inbound flights to Dubai diverted to a number of Gulf airports, including Bahrain International Airport.
A Civil Aviation Affairs spokesman told the paper that more than 400 travelers were stranded in Bahrain, and several hundred more trying to reach Bahrain were grounded in Dubai.
He said only one Dubai-bound flight was re-routed to Bahrain airport.
Emirates Flight 40 from Birmingham to Dubai was diverted to Bahrain, landing in Manama at 10.45pm.
Dubai television showed pictures of the plane on the ground with a burnt out wing, blocking the main runway. A second runway is closed for maintenance – Albawaba.com

COLUMBIA CITY — Though Columbia City's first hire in 10 years may be new to the department, police work is nothing new for Jonathan Stoffel.
Stoffel, 22, has been surrounded by law enforcement work for much of his life.
His father, Terry Stoffel, is currently serving his first term as Huntington County's Sheriff. Terry was a Huntington City Police officer for 20 years, and was the chief for eight years.
Jonathan's sister, Whitney, has spent the last six years as a Huntington PD officer.
His late mother, Vicki, who passed away from cancer six months ago, was the executive assistant for Huntington County's prosecutor.
"It's a whole family deal," Stoffel said.
His cousin, Don Stoffel, is an Indiana State Trooper out of the Fort Wayne Post.
Jonathan said he's wanted to be a police officer for as long as he can remember.

Students prepare for national competition, June 24
KINGSTON, R.I., -- June 7, 2002 -- University of Rhode Island civil engineering students paddled their way to their seventh consecutive New England regional concrete canoe championship, held this year at the University of Maine.
URI competed against 13 universities to win a spot in the national competition at the University of Wisconsin on June 24. The event is sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) and Master Builders, Inc.
Teams are rated based on their performance in nine different categories. Thirty percent of the final score is based on the results of five races, with the remainder based on a technical paper, oral presentation, exhibit booth display, and the canoes physical appearance. URI placed first or second in seven of the nine categories. Each canoe also had to pass a "swamp test," which involved filling the canoe with water and testing its ability to float, according to North Providence resident Jim Primeau, president of the URI chapter of the national civil engineering society.
The students began to design the canoe last fall, with construction starting in January. The first step was construction of a foam mold. To build an exact replica of their computer-designed canoe, the team divided the mold into 2-inch sections and aligned it with a computer printout of the design. Concrete was then poured over the mold in layers. The outer layers consist of a "heavy mix" of concrete for stability, while the inner layers are a lighter mix of concrete and ecospheres, glass microballoons used in place of sand to reduce the weight of the canoe. Between each layer is carbon fiber or fiberglass for reinforcement.
Using a Harley Davidson theme, the team named the canoe Rhode Hog and painted it black with orange lettering. It is 20 feet, 8 inches long and weighs 140 pounds.
The canoe is longer than in previous years to improve its ability to maintain a straight course, and the bottom is more curved to reduce surface area. "The canoe resembles a kayak. The hull is more rounded to improve its racing capabilities," said Dan Szymanski, team co-captain from Burrillville.
In preparation for the national competition, the team is focusing on fundraising. "Some of the schools were competing with have huge sponsors like 3M," said Primeau. So the URI team has begun sending letters to local engineering firms and construction companies seeking donations.
"I see teams with their own trailers, more than one canoe, all the testing equipment they want, free transportation, and uniforms. Weve won regionals the past six years in a row and were not even close to having any of that," said Szymanski.
The students have also designed their own T-shirts and are selling them to raise additional funds for the contest. "Weve done so well because of the dedication of the people working on the canoe," said Primeau. "We want to make the University look good."
In addition to Primeau and Szymanski, team members include: Scott Herold of Bloomington, Minn.; Jason Clough of Bradford, Vt.; Matt Crowley of Charlestown; Chuck Restall of Coventry; Joe Baker and Brian Stewart of Cranston; Joey Fonseca of Framingham, Mass.; Anthony Pastore of North Kingstown; Jaklyn Dextradeur of North Providence; Jen Cotungo of Tribes Hill, N.Y.; and Jeremy George, Paul Jacques and co-captain Julie Walker of Warwick.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today EMILY's List, the nation's largest resource in politics, endorsed Wendy Greuel in her campaign to represent California's 33rd District in Congress.
"Wendy Greuel has demonstrated outstanding leadership as a public servant fighting for education, small businesses, and government accountability for California families," said Stephanie Schriock, President of EMILY's List. "The EMILY's List community – now more than three million members strong – is excited to support Wendy's campaign to be a strong voice for the women and families of California's 33rd congressional district."
Wendy Greuel is a lifelong Angeleno. She began her career in public service working for former Mayor Tom Bradley, and teamed up with him to strengthen public education in Los Angeles. After serving as a deputy to Mayor Bradley, Wendy went on to work as a senior advisor for the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, where she assisted victims of the 1994 Northridge Earthquake. From 1997 until 2002, Greuel helped build Dreamworks, a new studio at the time, into the household name it is today. In 2002, she was elected to serve on the Los Angeles City Council, where she championed an historic business tax reform which reduced taxes for small businesses and returned nearly $100 million to local businesses. Wendy has championed the efficiency of basic city services, including attempting to fill every pothole in her council district. After six years on the city council Wendy was elected Controller for the City of Los Angeles, where she fights against waste, fraud, and abuse, and ensured greater government transparency. Wendy is committed to making Los Angeles a sustainable city by investing in public transportation, public schools, and building a strong economy. Wendy attended public school in Los Angeles, is a graduate of UCLA, and currently resides in Studio City with her husband and son.
EMILY's List, the nation's largest resource for women in politics, has raised over $350 million to support pro-choice Democratic women candidates – making it one of the most successful political action committees in the country. Throughout its 29 year history, the organization has recruited and trained over 8,000 women to run, worked to elect 102 pro-choice Democratic women to the House, 19 to the Senate, 10 governors, and over five hundred women to state and local office. Since its founding in 1985, EMILY's List helped elect 97% of the Democratic women of color in Congress, including every single Latina, African American, and Asian American Democratic woman currently serving. And during the 2011-2012 cycle, EMILY's List had the largest number of members and donors in its history and raised a record-breaking $52 million dollars. With the help of this growing community — now more than three million members strong — EMILY's List helped elect an historic number of candidates in 2012 including 19 new women to the House, six Senate incumbents, three new Senators, and 186 state and local officials.

Updates and Underwear (Bombs)
My computer is on the fritz—by which I mean, it's dying. It's six-plus years old now, so it doesn't exactly come as a surprise, but I wanted to offer some sort of explanation for this shorter-than-usual post. Not to worry, though. I'll be able to get my hands on a new laptop in no time now that I've transitioned from my internship at the American Enterprise Institute to a job (that's right!) as a technical writer for a small federal contracting firm that specializes in defense-related issues. So that's the update portion of the post. Onto the underwear.
Here are some quick thoughts* on the latest iteration of underwear bombing attempts emanating from al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), based in Yemen:
- Who leaked the details of this intelligence coup? As Greg Pollowitz at National Review Online points out, "This is the kind of leak that gets people killed." Not only that, as Defense Secretary Leon Panetta put it, "When these leaks take place, I can't tell you how much they damage our ability to be able to pursue our intelligence efforts." One can be sure that AQAP's vetting process is going to be a bit more thorough after this highly publicized embarrassment, to the detriment of Western citizens' safety.
- The successful infiltration of AQAP, reportedly by Saudi intelligence, highlights the importance of working with partners whose clandestine agents share the same language and culture as their intended targets.
- Could the new, metal-less, "custom-fit" underwear bomb have gotten by the TSA? Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says, no: "In today's date with all the various layers we have, in all likelihood, it would not have succeeded." Others are less sanguine. We'll likely never know, but one thing is clear: AQAP and other like-minded groups will continue to adapt, forcing the United States to continue spending billions of dollars on the newest and most advanced security measures.
- Finally, I think we Americans owe a debt of gratitude to the covert operative who infiltrated AQAP and allowed us to ask the question, "Would our security have detected the bomb?" Were it not for this person, we might have found out the hard way and much too late.
*Here's some insight into my blogging methodology: Whenever I think of a good subject for a blog post, I usually do a lot of background research to get up to speed on the latest developments surrounding the issue and find out what those in the know have had to say about it. When my computer takes about five minutes to load a single webpage, however, I have to resort to "quick thoughts."

Why is nobody seriously looking into his role in the coverup? I want this scumbag to go down. I've never loathed someone more than Corbett.
Unlike the Casey Anthony jury, this crew got it right.
Seriously? I consider myself a religious person but this is not about prayer. They've heard the testimony. This monster is guilty and should be punished. Nothing to pray about here.
What if he's innocent?? Well, he's not. You should go rot with him, Amendola, you defender of child rape.
Anybody with half of a brain knows that he's guilty. This filthy pig needs to be in prison now.
Wouldn't be "senior week" without kids being stupid.
The words "corbett" and "education" don't go together. How does she feel about her husband covering for a child rapist?
Corbett's priority a few years ago was covering for a child rapist because the rapist was giving a lot of money for his campaign. The guy is filth!!
I don't support anything this man does. He is human filth...garbage. He covered for child rapist. I hope when this guy dies they have a public memorial service. I'll be in the front row....laughing!!
My hope is that Corbett is somehow taken down in all of this. He allowed children to be raped. Great Governor we have. Piece of crap!!
He'll care come re-election time. Oh wait, there will be no re-election for him. I'm hoping he gets taken down in this Sandusky trial. He did sit on this case since he was receiving large contributions from Sandusky's organization. That's right...our governor allowed little children to be molested!! He is garbage!!
Can we please start the recall process?? I don't know how Wisconsin did it but I would like to see it happen here in PA. I have a feeling our results would be different. This man must be stopped.
Well said skimmer.
Thanks for your years of service. I understand what you deal with on a daily basis. Not sure why there is so much venom spewed towards teachers. You have to understand that most people really don't understand what they do. They think it's 7:30 to 3:30 with summers off. They couldn't be more wrong.
I would challenge every single one of these individuals to go get their teaching degree and get into the profession. Then I want to see them come on here and post how easy it is. But, they won't. They'll talk a big game but they don't have the nerve to do it themselves. Why? Because they couldn't handle it.
The pension package is not the fault of the teacher.
Well said Sir. Well said.
The Tea Party's decision to do this would only serve to help Obama, correct?
Due to these cuts Harrisburg is going to be looking at declining attendance, lower test scores, and increased crime. Extracurricular activities motivate students. Whether you realize it or believe it I don't know. I also don't care. Those are the facts. In a perfect world a student would be motivated by the desire to do well and succeed. But, let's be real people. That isn't reality. Sports, band, music, etc. motivates a lot of kids to do well and keep their grades up. It gives them a reason to go to school. Things are going to get very bad in Harrisburg. I feel bad for the students.
How do we get this recall process started?? This man has to be stopped. I don't care how it's done, he must be stopped.
Recall election. Let's get this process started!!

D.C. is America's number-two travel destination this summer
- (Photo: Jay Westcott)
Beware, commuters, the tourists are coming! The American Public Transportation Association revealed that about 104 million Americans — a third of the country — plan to travel to a big city this summer. D.C., with its monuments and National Mall and White House, is super popular, and tourists love coming here in full force. How many tourist exactly? More than eight million slated for this summer ... and you thought the spring Cherry Blossom season was bad.
Here's the top 10 destinations for the summer of 2012:
Chicago 11.1 Trips (in Millions)
Washington, D.C. 8.3
New York City 6.8
Los Angeles 5.3
Miami 4.9
San Francisco 4 .0
Las Vegas 3.7
Boston 3.4
Atlanta 3.4
St. Louis 3.4
These tourists will, by and large, want to take our public transportation. An APTA survey conducted earlier this month estimates that 62 million people of those 104 (about 57%) want to embrace public transportation amid their travels. The reasoning? "71 percent said using public transportation relieves them from the worry of finding parking for their vehicle, while 68 percent believe that it is less expensive than taxis and rental cars. Sixty-seven percent will use public transportation to save money on parking and 52 percent responded they can save money on gas for their vehicle."
Express Night Out transit columnist Vicky Hallett sees environmental virtues in these numbers as well as relief for our roads. "Considering how many local drivers pull stupid stunts, I don't even want to think about what would happen if every out-of-towner showed up behind the wheel of a rental car," she writes.
I suspect the number of tourists who take public transportation will be higher in D.C. than in many other destination cities given how established our publication transportation networks are. And besides, no one wants to drive driving and parking in downtown D.C. anyway. Metro tourists are a perennial feature and let's just hope they stick to the right on functional escalators we have left. How do you imagine tourists will respond to all the Metro track work and July 1 fare hikes on the way?
Still laughing at someone yelling "You guys are peasants!" at the tourists ramming into closing train doors at Metro Center.— Q (@Queengwen) May 31, 2012

Roasted Vegetable Crepe Cake
Let's talk about crepes again, shall we? My love affair for crepes continues—and this roasted vegetable crepe "cake" is just one of the various recipes I'm sure I'll be posting on the blog. This is actually quite a similar recipe and process to the roasted vegetable tortilla stack, another great vegetarian option for dinner. The versatility of this kind of recipe is something to be appreciated, since you can use any blend of vegetables to your liking… and let's be honest, anything held together primarily by cheese has got to be good. Right? Right. It's certainly my cooking philosophy!
You'll need to have made a batch or two of crepes before making this cake, and they will all need to be roughly the same size and shape. When making your crepes, consider what size they'd need to be to fit comfortably into a round baking dish, too—they should fit snugly, without too much of a gap and without having to curl up too much on the sides. You could probably bake this free-standing if you had to, but I certainly recommend spending the $10 on a simple springform pan since it'll make your life a lot easier!
On another note, I'm sad (and you probably are too, right?) that I haven't been posting more recently. Life has just been busy—darn life!—and combined with Easter holidays, time seems to be whipping by without me getting a chance to write things up. Horrible! But hopefully I'll be back posting more regularly again now that things have calmed down a bit. There's a bit of good news too—our new roommate is gluten intolerant, so you coeliacs will be getting a whole lot more attention! Turns out that cooking gluten free isn't as hard as I thought it would be; you just have to be mindful of ingredients that might have wheat products in them that you might not realize (like soy sauce, or stock powder, who knew, right?). Anyway—on with the recipe!
Roasted Vegetable Crepe Cake
Serves: 6-8 depending on appetites
Cooking time: 40 minutes hands-on, plus baking
Difficulty: Easy
- 1 onion sliced into rounds
- 2 medium zucchini, ribboned or match sticked
- 2 medium capsicums / bell peppers, sliced very thinly
- 3 cups small mushrooms, sliced finely
- 3 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, or a blend of your favourite kinds
- 3/4 cup crumbled fresh feta cheese
- 2 batches basic crepes already made (could get away with 1 batch if you make smaller crepes and have a smaller baking tin)
Pre-heat your oven to 400 F / 200 C. Ribbon your zucchini and spread out onto two lightly greased baking sheets. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Set your oven to grill, and pop the zucchini in, cooking for about 5 minutes, or until zucchini have brightened in colour and the thinnest ribbons are starting to go golden. Meanwhile, finely slice your peppers (capsicums) and repeat the same process, grilling them for about 10 minutes until softened and going a little golden on a few tips.
Slice up mushrooms and onions; saute each on the stove with a bit more olive oil and salt and pepper. Saute onions on medium-high heat until the edges start to turn golden-brown and the rest is nice and soft. Saute mushrooms until quite golden-brown in colour.
Let vegetables cool so you can handle them (or just use kitchen tongs). Line a 9″ or 10″ baking dish (I used a springform pan which worked really, really well!) with good-quality baking paper. Lay down one crepe, sprinkle lightly with grated cheese, and lay down one layer of the vegetables. Careful not to lay them on too thick! Aim for about 6-8 layers. Start and end each layer with a bit of grated cheese, and use your imagination for combining vegetables and where to put the feta, etc. I opted to alternate my zucchini and peppers so as to get a good colour contrast going on.
Finish the cake with a final crepe. Cover in tin foil, and bake for 45-55 minutes in a 350 F / 180 C preheated oven, removing the tin foil in the last 10-15 minutes of baking. I actually stuck a meat thermometer into the middle of mine to see how it was doing on the inside, and at about the 50 minute mark it was at 160 F / 70 C (about the same as ham and pork), and the cheese was perfectly melty. Go for shorter or longer depending if you have a hot or cool oven; mine is pretty warm since it's gas and convection.
Et voila! Let the cake cool slightly before serving; if using a springform pan, pop it open and transfer to a plate for serving.
There are lots of other variations you could do with this too—eggplant instead of or as well as zucchini, pumpkin or squash (would require more pre-baking however), bacon or ham, different cheeses, spinach, roasted beets… wherever your imagination takes you.

If I was to make this with pumpkin or squash what would I mix with it? What kind of cheese if any would you recommend?
Comment from Joni
October 5, 2012 at 6:45 pm
You could use just normal cheddar, or something a bit different if you like… more crumbled feta? Swiss? Whatever you desire!

I made this with gorgonzola instead of feta and it was awesome. Great recipe!

February 16, 2014 at 4:45 am
Mmm, good to hear! I think any tasty cheese would work great in this, lucky that you had some gorgonzola around!

The true story from Adam gives you a fact view
for live and work in China.
I suppose there are two main reasons I keep choosing to live and work in China.
The first is that China's just a very fun, interesting place to live. I enjoy
urban life much more than rural life, and even a relatively small city in China
will often be as large and as lively as one of the largest cities in the U.S.
And even in a relatively small city over here, it's usually not too difficult to
find most Western amenities (e.g. Western grocery stores, restaurants, etc.).
Plus, as a Western foreigner in China, you sort of feel like a movie star the
entire time you're here, since every day all sorts of random people will want to
talk to you or take a picture with you or invite you out for a meal (no worry,
they will pay meal for you).
The second main reason is the ease of finding employment over here. I
speak fluent Chinese and I have a Master's degree in linguistics, but I still
haven't been able to find a decent job back home in the U.S. Things might be
easier if I lived in a big city in the U.S., but for family reasons (as you
know) I have to live in a fairly rural part of North Carolina, and there are
just no jobs there for someone with my background and training. In the U.S. I
might apply to 30 jobs and get a single interview (if I'm lucky), but here in
China if I applied to 30 jobs I'd probably get 30 interviews, and out of those
30 interviews I'd probably get at least 15 job offers.
Of course, employers in China still appreciate applicants with training in the
sciences, engineering, etc.; it's just unlike in the U.S., here they appreciate
applicants with training in the humanities and social sciences as well. And
while the average salary that most foreign teachers in China receive is somewhat
lower than that of a typical entry-level white-collar job in the U.S., the cost
of living here is much, much lower than the cost of living in the U.S., so on
the whole you can enjoy a higher quality of life (aside from the air pollution,
of course).

A Refugee Looks at Anti-Semitism Here:
The Difference between European and American Patterns
Could it happen here? Is America as susceptible to violent anti-Semitism as Central Europe? Or are there certain factors in American life that serve as a bulwark against this particular irrationality? Robert Pick here looks at these perennial questions through the eyes of the refugees who came here fleeing Hitler, and offers some tentative generalizations winnowed from ' the hopes, fears, and observations of these newcomers.
One day in the late 1930's, so the story goes, a newly-arrived refugee couple entered the grocery store of a small New England town and asked for oranges.
"For juice?" inquired the clerk.
"Did you hear what he said?" the woman whispered to her husband in German, hustling him out of the store. "For Jews? You see, it's beginning here, too . . ."
Together with some more of its kind, that sad joke used to be told among refugees in those days, and evoked wan smiles.
Of course Europeans had always known that anti-Jewish feeling was far from negligible in this country. But, at some point or other, this knowledge had been buried under the wishful hope that the bestiality of German anti-Semitism had so aroused the abhorrence of American Gentiles as to purge them of it altogether. In daydreams, the fugitives may even have expected to meet a kind of warm-hearted equality.
But side by side with this fantasy, there was always the uncontrollable anxiety at what the future might bring. They were haunted by a ghost from other shores, which at any moment they feared to see here. To be told that anti-Semitism was only one aspect of American racial prejudice offered no relief whatsoever. (And understandably so!) The hate-sheets of the German-American Bund were read almost eagerly—with a kind of morbid fascination—and the sinister goings-on in Yorkville were a subject for unrelieved brooding. "You see!" At the least touch of reality the daydream turned into a nightmare.
At the same time, the newcomers' jitters were soothed by certain special characteristics of American life—taken for granted by any native-born person, but discoveries for them.
Wherever anti-Semitism had become powerful (and consequently violent) in Europe, it had received some encouragement from "above." I seem to recall that what upset my father most about the rise of Dr. Lueger's Christian Social party in Austria was the report that the old Emperor Franz Joseph, after some stalling, had confirmed that "Radauantisemit," Lueger, as the mayor of our Vienna, and by having granted him an audience had made him "respectable." (Not until about thirty years later, when Hitler's audience with Hindenburg legalized Jew—baiting in Germany, did I realize how justified was my father's excitement over that piece of dated court news.) It is futile to speculate whether continental anti-Semitism would have remained on the fringes of public life had it been denied the blessing from "above." But to a refugee from government-condoned—indeed government-decreed—Jew-killing, this was the fatal sign.
Imagine the relief, therefore, when the refugee observed that political anti-Semitism is not considered respectable in America. He noticed it in the total lack of anti-Semitism on the part of the government and in its absence from the platforms of the two great parties. Even more impressive, such anti-Jewish utterances as occasionally did come from a man in public life exposed that man to protests from other than Jewish quarters, and—more important—to general ridicule. Finally, there was the novel American phenomenon that conservative or even "rightist" political views do not necessarily imply a program of political anti-Semitism.
The refugee's encounters with the authorities reinforced this favorable impression. In Europe, even when or where anti-Semitism had little political or social sanction, Jews had never been entirely free from the feeling of being kept at arm's length in their contacts with the machinery of state. The lower ranks of the civil service, traditionally recruited from a social class that had been losing ground ever since the industrial revolution, expressed their malaise through anti-Jewish sentiments. Ranging from "correct" stand-offishness and "jovial" pin-pricks to avowed hostility, their attitude took the form of what might be called "administrative anti-Semitism." It did not take the immigrant long to realize that no such dissatisfied hereditary bureaucratic caste exists in this country. His contacts with officialdom were necessarily numerous; the variety, ethnic and otherwise, of types he met on these occasions served to reassure him; and, oversensitized though he was, he was never aware in these dealings of any trace of anti-Semitism.
Along with the absence in the new country of some of the most dangerous anti-Semitic features of the old, there was the relative absence of innuendos in the new language, even for those who understood it. Such anti-Jewish abuse ("kike" or "sheeny") as an immigrant may have run into—on a bus, in a waiting lineseemed to apply to him in a less personal way than similar profanity in his native tongue ("Saujude") familiar to his ears since grammar-school days. For a while he could even choose to live in the illusion—shades of the pathetic old Jewish game of West vs. East (and vice versa)—that these insults were not really meant for emancipated Jews from Central and Western Europe anyhow!
However, at the same time that he made this important discovery, the refugee was confronted with a less agreeable feature of American life: social discrimination. What was especially frightening was its inflexible, formal, and well-nigh formalistic enforcement, with the hopelessness inherent in the situation; there was no chance at all for that typically European escape by means of the personal "exception"—the Jew who was an "exception." Indeed, it seemed that anti-Jewish "rules" were tightened precisely at the moment when an "exception" threatened to establish a precedent. Gradually the refugee came to feel that there must be more to it than an emotional aversion to "mixing with Jews."
If one keeps in mind the slow rise of European Jewry, the rigidity of American discrimination might seem to be accounted for primarily by .the comparative speed of individual economic climbing in this country, and by the feeling that social graces and agreeable manners usually lag behind material betterment. It might, after all, be a case of taking no chances. Yet chances are taken all the time with Gentile self-made men, and no such prejudice is placed in their way.
About ten years ago, when refugees began to appear on the streets of London, a tabloid published a short editorial admonishing them to emulate the late Sir Philip Sassoon, who, as was acknowledged everywhere, had been second to no Gentile gentleman in the realm. Surely such nonsense would never invade the pages of an American paper. At the same time, however, the loophole implied in that admonishment is absent from the American kind of social discrimination, which seems to believe that no Jew can ever hope to live up to the standards of a Gentile gentleman.
On the other hand, the refugee also discovered that in certain areas the theory seemed not to obtain. For instance, the American world of letters, music, and the arts generally—and not only its "progressive" sections—was free from discriminatory habits. (Much more so, incidentally, than the corresponding groups in many a pre-1933 European country.) Scientific research proved to be another such oasis. It can hardly be a coincidence that wherever a group's professional pursuits go beyond the mere struggle for wealth, power, and prestige, discrimination remains a matter of personal taste, and has no need, nor any use, for a code. Apparently social discrimination, as practiced, is intimately allied with the attempt to protect the prerogatives of vested economic power (i.e., power independent of individual talent or capacity) by rigid exclusion of potential competitors.
Having noted the exceptions, the émigré still found social discrimination a serious and ominous phenomenon. All the more surprising, therefore, was the blithe indifference his American co-religionists seemed to display to it—"innocuous social anti-Semitism," they called it. He did not appreciate that their childhood background, their training, their aspirations, and their ways of life had become adjusted to the prevailing taboos. Few American-born Jews pick "non-Jewish" fields for their careers, or go where they "are not wanted."
As a matter of fact neither did Europeans. But, as it happened, the occupations traditionally non-Jewish on the Continent did not always coincide with those that are closed to Jews in this country. The émigré industrial engineer or oil expert saw his talents wither in neglect in America, while he watched his fellow-immigrants in non-verboten fields overcome in due time the newcomers' general handicaps. "I wonder," such a man said to me, "am I still rejected as a foreigner, or already discriminated against as a Jew?" He found small solace in the fact that some of the occupations least accessible to Jews in most European countries-such as the civil service—here admitted Jews freely. He only saw that the people who dominated business in his own field were the same who excluded him from their social activities and their neighborhoods—as did, on lower levels of income and social life, the people in their employ. To such unlucky migres anti-Semitism could not but seem alarmingly widespread and systematic.
Many a newcomer, then, found discrimination strange, hard to cope with in everyday life, and boding ill for the future. At the same time the image of his immediate European past grew dimmer, and he would—with a kind of qualified nostalgia (a hypothetical nostalgia not for a place left, but for a time gone)—recall the feeling of certitude which, within the basic discomforts of being a Jew, had characterized his life in Europe before Hitler.
It was not that, actually, the images of the recent great tribulations grew dimmer. They changed, as it were, their specific weight within the sum total of the exiles' reminiscences. (A refugee is both an immigrant and an exile.) Nothing could efface from his mind the tragedy that had marred his life, and kept destroying the lives of relatives and friends overseas. However, at times the ex-European came to look at the events of 1933 as an isolated catastrophe which, intrinsically, had very little to do with his "normal" pre-1933 existence. And that "normalcy" was the handy yardstick by which he measured the "normalcy" of his new surroundings. What often resulted—needless to say, it did not result exclusively from the refugees' concern with anti-Semitism—was their ill-famed "bei uns" attitude. Bei uns it was better. But that bei uns which so offended Americans really always referred to an earlier, fairer time.
For generations, poets among the Sephardic refugees in free, prosperous Holland continued to extol the beauties of Spanish life, as restored to pre-expulsion "normalcy" in their mental image; and the Inquisition had no place in that image. Apparently this is the way the human memory works. The London of the early 1790's, for instance, resounded with stories about the eternal "chez nous" comparisons with which the French émigrés annoyed the British. Surely these Frenchmen had not forgotten the guillotine they had slipped away from; they just no longer thought of it as part and parcel of their lost land.
What other way has man of assessing the new than to compare it with what he knows? Some instances exclude comparison: no one can balance the inconveniences produced by American poison ivy against those caused by the European species, for there is no similar plant in Europe. Anti-Semitism there is, and was, on both sides of the Atlantic. The trouble is that one of the two phenomena thus measured is removed from time and space and subjected to the miraculous pranks of the human memory, while the other is a reality that no miracle can change. Let me add that these reminiscences are about as much trouble to the newcomer himself as they may be to his impatient listeners. But you can't ask thoughts to "go back where they came from."
On a trip to Holland shortly after the First World War, I was told that upper-class Amsterdam Gentiles usually picked a Friday night for their social goingsout because they were reasonably certain that Jews would stay in their homes then for the Sabbath observances. Although I took such things as "anti-Semitic resorts" or "places patronized by anti-Semites" for granted in my native Austria, I was rather shocked at such segregation by the clock. Many years later I asked a Dutch Jew in this country about that habit. He declared that my informant had been pulling my leg. "But you, for instance, did you stay in on Friday nights?" Yes, he said, come to think of it, he did. "But if I hadn't no one would have dreamed of preventing me from entering any place I'd have chosen."
There is an important point illustrated here. Only the most stubborn diehard will deny that—with all its historical and regional mitigations—anti—Jewish discrimination existed in pre-1933 Europe on public, social, and economic levels. Before the growth of racialist theories, however, it regulated itself almost automatically. The tenacity of traditions on both sides-though not necessarily of religious traditions on the part of the Jews-led to what may be called an incidental and largely unconscious cooperation with the segregatory customs of any particular place and time. The slow emergence of the Jews from self-segregation, as a rule completed in the third post-ghetto generation, went but slightly ahead of the preparedness to accept them on this new plane.
Had they, by and large, arrived at a satisfactory modus vivendi? In answering this question one has of course to keep in mind men's natural accommodation to even the most estranged environment. Beyond that it may be said that what made the European Jews' modus vivendi seem satisfactory, in the face of all pressing discomforts, was the hope that they had not yet reached the end of the road on which their 8th-century ancestors had embarked. That road had led from tolerance to emancipation, from emancipation to civic equality, and from civic equality to an appreciably lessened popular prejudice. The path grew narrower from there on, had its ups and downs, and zigzagged considerably. Still, as it appeared to the Jews, it was not cut off. Reverses could not wholly dispirit them. Their modem history had taught them to regard these reverses as temporary. The strength of that optimism was evidenced, pathetically enough, by the fateful reluctance of so many German Jews to open their eyes to the realities of 1933.
Next to the apparently inherent march of history, personal achievements made significant inroads on the structure of prejudice. Those inroads bore both the mark and the stigma of "exceptions." If the Jews themselves were not always in full sympathy with their own arrivistes, the latter's attainments still were a favorable precedent for their hopes. The great role that the first of these inroad-makers had played in the 19th-century fight for civil rights had not fallen into complete oblivion.
An American-born Jew to whom I once mentioned this progress through "exceptions," referred slightingly to those "Jews who love to be patted on the shoulder by Gentiles," adding that they had no importance for their co-religionists. On the strength of his experience he was probably right. Social discrimination is taken pretty much for granted as something intrinsic to American "individualism," and equality did not have to be fought for by the Jews in this country. In the absence of such a struggle behind him, and in the light of his accommodation to some of the uglier facts of life in America, this attitude was a perfectly natural one. The details were, of course, different, but it is clear that the American Jew, too, has made his own adjustment to anti-Semitism.
Like all earlier immigrants, whether Gentile or Jew, the refugees were, of course, resigned from the first to belonging for the rest of their lives to the minority of the foreign-born. The determination that some few may have had to live down that disadvantage did not survive the test of realities; even the most successful scientists and teachers and the most prosperous businessmen had to remain aware of the natural limits set to an adult's integration into a foreign, longestablished community.
But whether successful or a failure, prosperous or still living in precarious circumstances, educated or not, the newcomer (like those who came before him) transferred to the lives of his children his never realized hope: to shed his minority status, to belong. So the unkindest cut of all was the discovery of anti-Jewish discrimination in the universities, especially since the actual stain of the "foreign-born" is not his foreign birth, but his foreign education and training—and understandably he wanted his children to rub off that stain and make the grade.
For once his "bei uns" reminiscences did not deceive him when, contemplating these restrictions, he saw in them hardships he had not had to cope with in pre-Hitler Europe. With the exception of Poland, Hungary, and—I think—Rumania, European countries knew no such barriers. In fairness it must be added that since all higher schools were state-supported, they had no means of putting religious or racial restrictions into practice without forcing the issue of civil equality, and that where regulations were lacking, chicaneries of all kinds frequently tried to enforce anti-Jewish tendencies. Yet in spite of such major inconveniences, Jewish students were able to avail themselves of the opportunity to enroll in the university of their choice.
From time to time an "objective" refugee may be heard maintaining that the quota system might serve to check harmful "anomalies" in the occupational stratification of the Jews, which in so many countries have fanned-anti-Semitism. However, the marked concentration of Jews in certain departments of the economic and professional life of America might well be adduced as proof to the contrary.
Be that as it may, educational discrimination—both at the colleges' gates and on their campuses—is a major problem of refugee adjustment. The students themselves seem to cope with it with much less bitterness than their parents—or with about the same degree of bitterness as is felt by the average American-born student (together with about the same amount of Jewish fierté de gueux—pride of the oppressed). For the child of émigrés, the process of gaining familiarity with the powers that be is completed by college experiences, which show him in microcosm the exclusions and restrictions his life will be subjected to. The emphasis placed on the social part of college life reveals to him the economic and occupational importance of everything "social," including social segregation. Far from releasing him from his minority status, his full Americanization confirms it.
Belonging to an ethnic minority is a transitory stage for Gentile immigrant families. A particular "racial group" may for generations remain aware of its common stock, or may even (usually for religious reasons) shrink from intermarriage—and yet discrimination against such a group will wane, or at least not be adhered to generally. To all practical effects, such families lose their thinned-out minority status in the second or third generation. The descendants of Jewish immigrants, on the other hand, remain "the Jewish minority." Considering the present immigration rate, the Jews will remain, in the not too distant future, the only sizable white "minority" in a country whose ethnic plurality—aside from Negro-white-will be narrowed down to a Gentile-Jewish duality.
That is exactly the situation which European Jews fear. By and large, they come from ethnically homogeneous countries in which they represented the only minority. Whether or not that "homogeneousness" stood the test of history did not matter. As they rationalize the persecutions they were exposed to, they are tempted to assume that their mere minority status was as much to be blamed for their sufferings as was the fact that they were Jews. In short, the term "minority" has very unpleasant connotations to the Continental Jew.
No wonder that some of them come to feel they have to give their children a better start. They adopt a non-Jewishsounding family name, or even join a Protestant church. (I need hardly add that I am not talking of genuine religious conversions, or, on the other hand, of the antics that a handful of wealthy snobs and social climbers among refugees are known to engage in for the sole purpose of being admitted to restricted hotels or resorts.)
This is not the place to discuss the adaptability of refugees, or their alleged lack of it. It may be that the number of refugees who have felt the full impact of business discrimination is small. But however heterogeneous refugees are as a group, and however weak their sense of belonging together may be, all eventually learn the lessons taught to some.
They are likely to generalize. But generalization is not entirely unwarranted in the case of so general a phenomenon. Not that anti-Semitism is universal among American Gentiles; far from it. But the diffused effects of the segregatory code seem to the refugee so widespread as to have a marked general influence on the life of every Jew in the country. The whole of anti-Semitism is greater than the sum of its parts.
The picture which matures in the newcomer's mind looks something like this:
- Political anti-Semitism is an affair of the lunatic fringe of public life. Weltanschauung anti-Semitism is the exception rather than the rule.
- The rigidity of anti-Jewish discrimination is part (but only part) of the many-pronged struggle of the ruling classes to keep late-comers from rising to genteel wealth, power, and prestige—an aim common to ruling classes anywhere. The racial element infused into that struggle is not altogether accidental, but neither is it its core. The reason why that fight is nowhere, except against the Negroes, carried on with the same tenacity as against the Jews is the latter's age-old inclination toward progress through education, material betterment, and competitive business-ideals they happen to share with American society.
- The effects of discrimination are indivisible: semi-consciously and unconsciously, social, economic, and political anti-Semitism work in a continuous interplay.
- On the whole, American anti-Semitism is less violent than the characteristically American lack of inhibitions would lead one to expect. It may well be that the petrified and petrifying inflexibility of the segregatory code, by reducing the number of Gentile-Jewish contacts, reduces the number of possible frictions and thereby vouchsafes a lasting safety-valve "harmlessness" to anti-Jewish feelings.
Some European immigrants feel that way. A very well educated friend of mine is wont to sum up our frequent talks on the subject by calling himself a "second-class" citizen, and in the same breath quoting Madame Mere's famous exclamation: "Pourvu que a dure! (If only it lasts!)."
This kind of ironic resignation may account for the refugee's lack of interest in an open, organized struggle against prejudice. Like most continentals, the continental Jew is an individualist and a sceptic. Therefore much of the organized fight against discrimination—whether carried on from a purely pro-Jewish basis, or within the framework of the fight against every kind of prejudice—is likely to appear to him naive, "unrealistic," or purely rhetorical. Even in the face of insuperable barriers he may prefer to fight alone, to rely on his personal gifts to overcome bias or secure a haven for himself.
As a former victim of the violence of the streets, he often wishes that the "whole question" would not be aired in public or even the word "Jew" pronounced in the marketplace. His own experiences have led him to the conviction that rational arguments have little power to destroy the mystical notions behind Jew-hatred.
But, after all, he forgets that that was in another country. America, when all is said and done, is not Germany. So he is apt to underrate the effect which, in the long run, rational arguments may have on that vast region of emotion, superstition, and semi-conscious pragmatism which is the hunting-ground of anti-Semitism in the United States where it is still an unthoughtful and casual phenomenon—neither intense, politically organized, nor respectable. It takes a European a very long time to understand that both indefatigable public discussion, including the voice of naive equalitarian faith, and the upholding of—and the struggle for—as yet unattained and seemingly unattainable ideals belong to the essence of American democracy.

vanilla extract
1/2 cup
white sugar
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 cup

The recipe mentions topping the cookie with the apple butter after baking. They sounded wonderful, but I thought they would be more well received (in my family) if I mixed the apple butter in and then baked them. They were EXCELLENT! I should have made more - my husband raved and raved about them. He can't wait until I make them again. Great with a cup of coffee! Thanks Kevin!
Really enjoyed these, but must 'fess up, I did make some adjustments: (like some other reviews suggested) I added the apple butter before baking, I used walnuts (ground half of the amount and left the remaining amount finely chopped - I am a texture freak), didn't have wheat germ so I used whole wheat flour and milled flax seed and lastly, I used the entire egg. The result a moist cake like cookie that reminded us of pecan sandies - will definitely make again - thank you Kevin.

They are okay- I mixed the apple butter in to the recipe because I didnt know if I could freeze it 'raw'. I dusted them with confectioners sugar to make them look better. Would probably not make again.
I greatly improvised on this recipe. Didn't have wheat germ so I just used more flour. Also ran out of vanilla so and used almond extract instead. When the mixture was ready for baking, it was really crumbly - too crumbly to form into balls -- so I added back in the leftover egg white. The cookies turned out good. They baked for about 20 minutes and were crunchy but not crumbly. They have a good taste. They look a lot like pecan sandies when they're done. My hubby mistook the crushed pecans for oatmeal and declined my offer to try one. Something that might be worth trying is to roll these in crushed pecans before baking.
It was my first time making this and it's delicious!!
It is super crumbly so next time I will probably add another yolk. Definitely a keeper though.

UNESCO and ICSS join forces to protect sport integrity
Paris; 10 December 2013: In a major step forward in the battle to protect integrity in sport, UNESCO has concluded a strategic partnership agreement with the ICSS to address corruption and match-fixing on a global level.
The partnership will see the organizations work together across a range of initiatives including:
- Developing international and national capacities to prevent and fight the manipulation of sport competition. This will encompass methodologies for sport integrity standards and good practice; mechanisms for enhanced cooperation and information sharing; and educational programmes, executive training and public awareness raising
- Support for the implementation of outcomes from the 5th UNESCO World Conference of Sport Ministers (MINEPS V), the Declaration of Berlin on 'Preserving the Integrity of Sport', which was adopted in Germany earlier this year. This will include the promotion of actions by governments, the sport movement, intergovernmental and non-governmental organizations, law enforcement agencies, the betting industry and athletes in line with the Berlin Declaration
- The development of international and national capabilities to prevent violence in connection with sport, notably through social inclusion projects
The collaboration will also seek to mobilise government support for the development of guiding principles in the field of sport integrity, building on the current work developed by the ICSS and University Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne.
Alexander Schischlik, Team Leader of UNESCO's Anti-Doping and Sport Programme, said: "Individual nations can't prevent international threats to sport integrity but collectively they can. With its international expertise, the ICSS is a strategic partner for UNESCO in the area of manipulation of sport competitions. Together we can enhance our scientific, multi-stakeholder approach to this problem."
Mohammed Hanzab, President of the ICSS, said: "This is a historical moment for the ICSS and the UNESCO-ICSS partnership will enable us to drive forward the sport integrity agenda. This agreement is being developed for the benefit of sport.
"Through UNESCO's intergovernmental mandate and influence, the ICSS's ongoing work for and commitment to the eradication of corruption in sport now takes a significant step forward."
Massimiliano Montanari, Director International Cooperation and External Relations, ICSS, said: "This new agreement integrates the authority of the United Nations with the informed and innovative capabilities of an international, neutral and non-governmental organization, such as the ICSS. A combination of coordinated efforts by key organizations will be important in promoting cooperation amongst the different sectors, all to protect sport.
"The ICSS looks forward to working closely with UNESCO in the development of tangible outcomes from this agreement. We need to ensure that young people grow up aware of integrity in sport; that they are inspired to participate in true and fair competition and are educated through the protection of the true values of sport."

The following cases were adjudicated over four days of District Criminal Court on Nov. 5, 6, 7 and 10 in Bolivia.
Wednesday, Nov. 5
Judge Marion R. Warren presided over the following cases with prosecutor Cathi Radford and courtrooms clerk Michelle Warth and Lisa Quick:
James C. Abernathy, improper equipment, costs.
Kellie Jean Abernethy, improper equipment, $25 and costs; no operator's license, expired registration card/tag, expired/no inspection sticker, all voluntarily dismissed.
To the editor: Did anyone else notice that only six out of 17 of our county's schools passed the adequate yearly progress for last school year as this newspaper reported? Yet, Superintendent Katie McGee got a satisfactory performance rating and a nice increase in salary.
To go with that, she also was awarded a Regional Superintendent's Award. Tell me how. Her school system had some of the lowest end-of-grade test scores in the state.
The Brunswick County Grand Jury under the direction of Judge Craig Ellis with prosecutor Rex Gore and courtroom clerk Kay Fowler returned the following indictments during a Superior Court session on Oct. 27:
Sarah Elizabeth Allan, 16, of 162 NW 5th St., Oak Island; three counts felony break or enter a motor vehicle, three counts misdemeanor attempted larceny.
Carl Henry Alston, 35, of 457 Colony Lane SE, Leland; felony murder, felony first-degree rape, felony first-degree kidnapping.
To the editor: John Heidtke's column in the Nov. 13 edition of The Brunswick Beacon confuses me. I am not sure whether he is saying people who wear zoot suits or sagging trousers deserve to be the object of civil unrest or whether he intends to make some other point.
My first reaction was revulsion at what appeared to be racist statements, but perhaps the column would have benefited by more editing. I do not understand the point of the column and would appreciate further comment from Mr. Heidtke.
How well we are able to see and read makes a huge difference in how we relate to our world.
For those in trouble, here is hope.
An amazing witness
During 1980, I was assigned to the St. Louis Missouri Division of the FBI.
A disgruntled mechanic, recently fired from his General Services Administration job, drove into the basement garage of our federal building and exited his car with a loaded shotgun.
To the editor: On behalf of the Friends of the Leland Library, I would like to thank The Brunswick Beacon for helping publicize our most successful book sale ever.
Other organizations helped with contributions including Carrabba's Restaurant, Bath and Body Works, Leland Food Lion and the Leland Copy Center.
We could not have done it without the members of the Friends who worked so hard preparing for the sale, during the sale and packing up after the event.
A special thanks to all those who bought books and contributed to this important fundraising event.
To the editor: I had a yard sale on Saturday, Nov. 15, on Oakbark Court in Carolina Shores.
My son, age 11, was helping to escort shoppers and carry things to cars. He then changed clothes into a uniform for his final tournament football game.
Before leaving, he went to retrieve his things only to discover someone had stolen his Sony PSP and cell phone. These were not sale items and were clearly set far apart from those that were.
To the editor: For the past four years, I have been interacting with the administrators and faculty at Jesse Mae Monroe Elementary in my capacity as chairman of the Nocha White American Legion Post 503 Auxiliary Americanism committee.
What an uplifting experience for my committee members and myself. We were welcomed with open arms when we described the patriotic programs we would like to bring to the students.
Most recently, we were invited to have a Veterans Day program in an assembly setting at the school.
To the editor: This Republican supports Barack Obama.
The campaigning, voting and final counting is over and our new president-elect is Barack Obama. As a Republican, I recognize he will be our president, my president and every American's president.
In this I will support him; however, my support has boundaries and will come in the same form as that provided by Democrats to George W. Bush during his presidency; no less, no more.
The one thing I will not and cannot provide Mr. Obama that was generously extended to George W. Bush is hate.
To the editor: How did Obama win the election? Here is the way I see it. First, President Bush's rating with the people was so low until he almost destroyed the Republican Party.
Next, he invaded Iraq and Afghanistan by telling the people things that turned out to be false, killing more than 200,000 people and an unknown number of our troops. Finally, going to war with two countries that had never bothered us that had nothing to do with the attack on 9/11.

Utah forecast: Air quality woes continue, but relief on way?
"Apocalypse Now" Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore might like northern Utah's mid-week forecast, that smell of incompletely burned hydrocarbons and particulates in the morning.
But even Kilgore's fleets of helicopters blaring Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" may not brave the lung-burning sooty soup expected to plague the Wasatch Front urban valleys through the remainder of this week.
The Utah Division of Air Quality issued "Red" or mandatory action grades for unhealthy air shrouding Salt Lake, Davis, Utah, Weber, Box Elder and Cache counties. That means solid-fuel burning devices and open burning of any kind is prohibited in those areas; motorists were strongly urged to avoid unnecessary travel or choose mass transit; industries were cautioned to minimize emissions; and the young, elderly and those with heart or lung ailments were warned to avoid outdoor activity.
Air quality is expected to worsen into Thursday, though an approaching storm system could offer some relief, if it produces the winds and snowfall needed to scrub the atmosphere.
The National Weather Service left in place a Hazardous Weather Outlook advisory for the western two-thirds of Utah, warning of continued morning and evening fog, especially in the state's northern and central valleys.
The Salt Lake and Tooele valleys expected high temperatures on Wednesday in the low-30s, echoing Tuesday's forecast. Overnight lows were to be in the mid- to upper-teens.
Southern Utahns looked for highs near 50 degrees with overnight lows in the mid- to upper-20s.
The Utah Avalanche Center rated the risk for potentially deadly snowslides in the state's mountains as "moderate."
The Tribune's weather page at sltrib.com/weather provides more extensive, community-by-community forecast information.

Kicking off the Year of Strong Fathers, Strong Families
This Father's Day, President Obama kicked off the Year of Strong Fathers, Strong Families as part of his Fatherhood and Mentoring Initiative. In the week leading up to Father's Day, the White House was father-filled while we honored Champions of Change, watched Cars 2 with military dads and their kids, and as President Obama and other members of the Administration took time to reflect on the importance of fatherhood in their own lives.
In honor of Father's Day, President Obama sat down with Robin Roberts from Good Morning America and discussed the important role that fathers play in the lives of children, shared stories from his own experience of being a father to two young daughters, and answered questions about fatherhood from everyday Americans. You can watch this great interview on ABC.com. President Obama also wrote an op-ed in People Magazine that stresses the importance of being a good dad. President Obama shared his insights on the challenges that come with fatherhood, but emphasized that the pure joys of fatherhood make being a dad one of his favorite jobs. You can check it out on People.com.
At the White House, we honored 15 dads and recognized them as Champions of Change. These fathers exemplify the important role that fathers play in young children's lives and have dedicated themselves to mentoring and supporting fathers across the country. We encourage you to take a moment to learn more about these amazing fathers and how they are setting the standard for responsible fatherhood in our country.
President Obama hosted another father-filled afternoon when military dads and their kids joined us for a screening of Cars 2 at the White House. We were so happy to see so many kids spend time with their fathers – posing for pictures with Mickey Mouse, taking crayons to coloring books and watching a great movie together! Everyone was also excited to learn that through the First Lady's and Dr. Biden's Joining Forces Initiative and the generosity of our friends at Disney, Warner Bros. and Fox, free movie screenings will be hosted at military bases all across the country.
Father's Day week at the White House was only the beginning of the Year of Strong Fathers, Strong Families. We have partnered with organizations around the nation to create simple opportunities for dads and kids to connect. Whether it's a free game of bowling, a Major League Baseball or WNBA game, a visit to the zoo or the aquarium, or discounts for dads and kids through partners like Groupon and LivingSocial, we're excited to help create small moments that can have a big impact.
Be sure to check out our newly launched website, Fatherhood.gov. On Fatherhood.gov, we'll share opportunities, ideas and resources with you, and provide a space for dads to connect with one another online.
As the Year of Strong Fathers, Strong Families officially begins, we are excited to celebrate the importance of responsible fatherhood with all of you—this year, and for years to come.
Joshua DuBois serves as Special Assistant to the President and Executive Director of the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships.

Mi Historia
My red pickup choked on burnt oil
as I drove down Highway 99.
In wind-tattered garbage bags . . .
My red pickup choked on burnt oil
as I drove down Highway 99.
In wind-tattered garbage bags . . .
I was miserable, of course, for I was seventeen,
and so I swung into action and wrote a poem,
. . .
Miniver Cheevy, child of scorn,
Grew lean while he assailed the seasons;
He wept that he was ever born, . . .
In the backyard of our house on Norwood,
there were five hundred steel cages lined up,
each with a wooden box . . .
I grow old under an intensity
Of questioning looks. Nonsense,
I try to say, I cannot teach you children . . .
No other song
or swoop (part
quiver, part swivel and . . .
The slice I ate I want it back
Those crumbs I swept up
I'd like my share again . . .
Doctor, you say there are no haloes
around the streetlights in Paris
and what I see is an aberration . . .
As a boy he had trouble speaking,
past three before a real word preened
from his lips. And for the longest time, . . .
The moon now rises to her absolute rule,
And the husbandman and hunter
Acknowledge her for their mistress. . . .

Teenage defender Sam Byram pounced in the 57th minute to cancel out Dwight Gayle's early opener at Elland Road.
Leeds are five points adrift of sixth-placed Nottingham Forest with nine games to go but Warnock still expects a "rollercoaster" run-in.
"I think anything's bridgeable in this league," he said.
"I'm pleased that at Leicester and Palace we showed we can go away and win games now.
"I know we didn't win those games, but in the past we've never looked like winning and we've been more positive since the FA Cup win at Birmingham.
"Every game we don't win at home is a missed opportunity. Same when we lost to Cardiff.
"But there's nine games left. I think we can win away from home now, which I didn't think we could before this latest run of games.
"So if you get a point away and a win at home everything changes.
"I won't be diverted from the nine games that are left.
"It's going to be a rollercoaster. We'll be criticised one week and praised the next.
"We've just got to get on with it, overcome the injuries and we've got to be brave, you've got to be brave when you play at Elland Road."

Meetings to update producers and landowners in Sandusky County on the provisions of the 2014 Farm Bill have been scheduled for November and December,
Todd Warner, executive director of the county's Farm Service Agency office, said the sessions will focus on major reforms in the bill.
"Essentially the farm bill was completely revamped," Warner said. "The 2008 Farm Bill provided direct payments, which were guaranteed payments for producers no matter what the market price for corn, soybeans and wheat. Those have been eliminated."
Meetings will be held at the Vanguard Career and Technology Center's Carr Lecture Lab, 1306 Cedar Street, Fremont, on Nov. 3, 5, 25 and Dec. 1 and 4. Sessions will be held from 9-11 a.m., 2-4 p.m. and 7-9 p.m. each day.
Two Saturday sessions are scheduled for Nov. 22 and Dec. 6 from 9-11 a.m. at the Sandusky County Agriculture Service Center in the large conference room, 2000 Countryside Dr., Fremont.
A Willard, O. man is close to becoming the next fiscal officer in the Village of Oak Harbor.
Village council recently gave Mayor Bill Eberle the authority to negotiate a contract with Henry Jarrett, Jr., who currently is employed part-time as the Village of Shiloh's fiscal clerk. Shiloh is located in Richland County near Mansfield. According to his resume, Jarrett has served as clerk of the town of about 650 people since 2011. Prior to that, he worked in various accounting jobs, including his own agency.
The contract is expected to be up for review when council meets in regular session Nov. 3 at the village hall.
Jarrett is the prime candidate gleaned from a pool of 21 applicants. Council held a special meeting Oct. 14 to conduct interviews with five of those candidates.
Not all of the news about Lake Erie is bad – algal blooms aside.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources is reporting survey results from this year show an average walleye hatch and good perch hatch.
The bottom trawl survey of Ohio's waters of the lake's western basin indicates this year's walleye hatch is similar to the average hatches of 2001, 2007 and 2010. The trawls caught about 20 walleye per hectare (about 2.5 acres) this year, compared to the long-term average of 26 walleye per hectare, and the best since 2007.
"Based upon the results from the August trawl survey, it appears that the 2014 hatch was near average and should contribute to the fishery in future years," the department's division of wildlife says in a press release.
Results of the yellow perch survey were even brighter.
The Ottawa County commissioners are seeking financial assistance from the State of Ohio for the planned renovation of the county's highway garage building on State Route 163.
The commissioners Tuesday approved resolutions seeking assistance from the Local Government Innovation Fund administered by the Ohio Development Services Agency.
David Brunkhorst, county engineer, said five applications will be filed – three in December and two in March 2015 – in increments of $500,000.
The fund program, he said, emphasizes cooperation between local governments to streamline services and make operations more efficient.
"We've discovered in talking with other county engineers who have taken advantage of it that as we demonstrate cooperative efforts with townships and villages and agencies in our county service area we can apply for loan funding," Brunkhost said.
Northwood is looking at passing an anti-panhandling law.
People holding up signs by the road asking for money have been a common occurrence in Northwest Ohio since the recession in 2007, though motorists have seen them around since the 1980s. Their recent appearance at traffic lights and intersections with heavy traffic is becoming a nuisance, according to Northwood City Administrator Bob Anderson.
"There's a whole group of people who are in the area who are soliciting money. It's getting bad. I don't like the looks of it," said Anderson, who believes many are simply scamming the public for a free handout.
"We all want to be charitable. But there's help for those folks. There's plenty of help available. They don't need to be on street corners begging for food and money. They make more money panhandling, I think," he said.
