New Braunfels Herald Zeitung (Newspaper) - May 17, 1987, New Braunfels, Texas Opinions Dave Kramer. Editor And Puhiishe Jim Webre. Managing Editor Page4A Hera\d-Zeitung New Braunfels Texas Sunday May 11 1987 Editorial We finally did it We're in at last! This is the last edition of the .\v u n rn ti n fe Is Hr rn Ui-Zeitung published out of our offices on South Casten. Tuesday's paper will have been written, produced and printed out of new facilities at 707 Lamia, and are we glad. We've been talking about it for years and, frankly, some folks thought we would never actually do it. But we did. Not that tile old building wasn't fine for its time, but it had gotten to the point of being unserviceable. As our city has grown, the need for a larger central fire station meant that we lost our privilege of parking behind the newspaper on city property. It is fitting that we grow with our city and its people. We're getting out just in time. The new building was once the Skate Skelter, and anyone hanging around a newspaper at deadline can appreciate the link with a roller rink there are indeed some similarities in that inertia sort of takes over at some point. The design of our new 18,450-square-foot facility takes advantage of a state-of-the-art open office concept. The design by Gene Rutherford TI Architects allows free flow of activity and production effort crucial to an efficient newspaper. General contractor for the project was Wingfield Construction Co. Major subcontractors were Bexar Electric, Guada-Coma Mechanical Inc., and Ott Plumbing, and we thank them for a job well done. General improvements include a renovated Web Offset press, which will allow use of color with a greater number of pages per section of the newspaper. The facility and better work environment, we believe, will mean a better newspaper for our readers and advertisers. We moved in the rain Saturday and today will virtually complete the transition, although no amount of precipitation could dampen our excitement over this new and attractive addition to the community. Effective today, hand-delivered materials and business transactions will take place out of the luanda loc ation An open house is planned later next month, and we welcome the public to our new home. The //« nihiZntuny is your community newspaper, and we recognize the support our town has shown over the years. Without that support we wouldn't have this fine, new facility. The staff is proud of our progress and we trust the next TU years will tx* as prosperous and worthwhile as the first TU. So all tfiat remains is cleaning up. Anyone want to buy a used newspaper building? Andy Rooney Nicaragua policy faulty It seems as though we're making an awful!) tan fuss atxmt Nicaragua, a small, jx»or. weak country that is more to be pitied than feared The United States has pulled all sorts of dirty tricks trying to bring down Nicaragua's government The average American doesn't care whether the Sun-dimstas or the contras run Nicaragua. We wouldn't know a Sandimsta from a contra if we stood behind Diem in a line at the hank. As Americans, we are supposed lo hate these people we don't even know9 It s hard enough hating all the people we know personally who deserve it Are the Nicaraguans really to he treated like an enemy? If Nicaragua is dominated by Communists, is it a serious threat to Oklahoma? Nicaragua is about the size of New York state. The whole country doesn't have as many people in it as Chicago. There probably aren't more than a few thousand conservative contra rebels trying, with little success so far, to overthrow the liberal Sandimsta government. Whatever details emerge from the current congressional investigation into the arms sale to our dear friends the Iranians, proceeds from which went to our dear friends Hie contras, it is apparent that we are paying people to overthrow the government of Nicaragua I know it doesn't matter what I think, hut I think I don't like it. President Reagan wants to give the contras another $105 million next year. Never has so much been given to so few for so little. If we're going to spend all that money on Nicaragua, there are wiser ways to spend it than on weapons, it would make more sense to try to win over the Nicaraguan people in a friendly way. After all, if you take $105 million and spend it U> help 3 million people, you can do m lot of big, good things with it. ffntead of giving the contras money Ut blow up power plants and destroy roads and bridges, maybe we ought to go into Managua with our big huc ks and help them. We have all been taught that to make a friend, we should be a friend. If we win by .spending millions to blow up their power plants and their bridges, you all know what comes next We're going to have to spend more millions helping them rebuild their power plants and their bridges. That's the American way. Nicaraguans are Uke people everywhere. They don't care which wing their government is, left or right, as long as they have jobs and enough to eat. Communism has never done such a wonder job of restoring any country's economy that we should worry about a country being Communist. What usually happens with a left wing government is that it decides everyone who disagrees with it is the enemy. The Communist government of the people ends up puttng people in prison. Communism is not only oppressive but the system doesn't work and the people hate it. Why are we so worried about Communism? What we're doing isn't nice. The United States shouldn't be overthrowing someone else's government by hiring people to do the job. There are other ways we might help Nicaragua and, at the same time, help ourselves. Chrysler is offering $1.5 bilhon for American Motors. Instead of spending that money on a dying car company, how would it be if Ue I atocia bought Nicaragua? He owes this country something because we bailed Chrysler out with the same amount, a $1.5 billion loan, when it was going broke. The United States would be getting out of it cheap if it paid Chrysler something Uke $50 miUion a year to keep Nicaragua from boing Communist once Chrysler moved in. Maybe Chrysler could even make a deal with the Japanese to run Nicaragua for them for half price the pocket difference. A humorous outlook overcomes negativity By JOHN I. WALKER. M I). This past week, my wife and I took a trip to New York I was riot fun to he with: I griped and complained almost all of the way The flight was late, the cabin was cramped, the service was poor. When we arrived in New York, the cab driver would not open the trunk and wanted me to put my hags in the front seat I called him lazy; he called me inconsiderate using an indirect vocabulary that clearly got the point across. Finally, as my wife and I were getting ready for bed and I was compatning vociferously about the hotel prices in New York, we both broke into spontaneous laughter As we talked about how ridiculously petty I had been, I remembered what humorist Charlie Jarvis said, We get on an airline that takes us a thousand miles and complain if we are five minutes late " I resolved then and there never to complain about insignificent issues. Here is how I him going to keep my resolution Appreciate Hod's gifts. My wife and I were flying to New York City to celebrate her birthday. It was long after college before I had ever flown in an airplane; more than two decades later, I had become so cynical and travel-worn that I was complaining about the priviledge of being able to go to New York City and attend a play. Thousands of people would lie grateful for the opportunity, yet I was complaining about trivialities. Twenty years ago, I would have been bug-eyed with excitement. I could get that excitement back by paying attention to the priviledge, not the price. All of us have many things to appreciate that we take for granted: Being born in this country.Mike Royko Freedom of choice F reedom of worship Life itself We don't appreciate our health until we lose it 'Youth,'' as the poet said, "is wasted on the young." We can all keep that excitement by remembering and appreciating the little things. On our return flight, I sat next to a stock room clerk for the City of New York. He had been on 24 flights in the last year. He happily talked about the places he had been and the wonderful people he had met When breakfast was served. be ate with gusto and after finishing exclaimed, Boy, that was good '' He was a simple man, but he enjoyed life much more than the pin stripe executives who filled that plane. Pay attention to what is important. It is important to show my affection for my wife — to let her know that she is special and that I love her for all of her kind, gentle ways; that I appreciate her support and encouragement; her sacrifice and her compromise. I want her to remember my emotional strength, sincerity and integrity I don't want to be thought of as a griper and complainer I don't want to be remembered as a sorehead or a cynic. Developing spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually, and helping those around you grow is important. Minor inconveniences are not important. Cultivate humor. Regular readers of this column recognize how much I emphasize humor in dealing with the ' slings and arrows of outrageous fortune.'' That is because humor is an extremely effective method for dealing with stress. George VaUIant, M.D., in his studies of Harvard graduates, has shown the use of humor to be an extremely effective method for achieving success. Valliant has studied Harvard graduates over a lifetime. He found that successful graduates had five traits that he calls mature defense mechanisms. These mature defense mechanisms were: altruism, supression, anticipation, sublimation, and humor. Altruism is the unselfish giving of your time and efforts to others: supression is the conscious failure to think about negative issues; anticipation is goal-directed planning for the future; sublimation is channeling aggressive and sexual drives into productive love and work Humor is responding to the stress of life with good cheer, wit and perspective. laughter helps heal hurt. I would have been much more pleasant to be with on the trip if I had started laughing with the first little foul-up For example, when we found ourselves squashed in the cramped airplane, I could have said, "I ve always wanted to experience flying as a canned sardine." Or, "With everybody bringing their luggage on board, I bet we could get a great seat in the baggage compartment.'' These aren't real funny lines, but they will help brighten and lighten the tension. To the cab driver, I could have said, "This is the first time my bags have made it to New York City. I'm so glad to have them with me, I'll be glad to put them anywhere you want." Again, not really funny, but showing good cheer. By the way, after the laugh in the hotel room that night, the following day was one of the best of our lives. We both enjoyed what we had been given. We laughed and talked, held hands, and showed appreciation for each other. And I didn't complain, not even when the two breakfast rolls and coffee cost $32 58 Dr Walker is medical director of Hill Country Hospital in San Antonio and has a private psychiatric practice in New Braunfels. What the Democrats and Donna Rice share Gary Hart went out in predictable style, blaming everyone but himself for his disaster. Oh, he conceded that he might have made some "mistakes." But his strongest condemnation was aimed at the prying press and the grueling process we use in selecting our leaders. Obviously, as he walks into his political sunset, he wants to leave the unpression that the press and the process brought him down, not his own weaknesses, foolishness, arrogance and poor judgement. And that theme has been echoed by his aides, supporters and other politicians. To hear them tell it, soon no sensitive person will want to run for political office because reporters will be hiding under their beds. This is, in a word, bunk. I haven't noticed any shortage of candidates. They're tripping over each other to get the party's nod. And I doubt if any of them have to worry about their bedrooms being watched. That's because Hart was unique. He was the only candidate who gave people reason to wonder about just what kind of strange bird he is. Hart wasn't the victim of vague rumors or wild, irresponsible charges. Nor was his weekend with Donna Rice his only indiscretion. Even his involvement with another woman, which the Washington Post disclosed, wasn't all. He was so active, and so careless, that sitting here in Chicago, far from Hart's townhouse, I knew about another one of his female conquests. I happen to know the woman personally, and members of her family. And she told me how Hart wooed and bedded her last year. I've confirmed enough facts to believe her. She didn't tell me about it because she was vindictive or wanted publicity. Just the opposite. Because he was a candidate for president, the woman wanted me to know that there was a pattern to his amorous exploits. As with Donna Rice, it began with a meeting at a park. Then getting together for drinks. Irater, Hart's phone calls from all over the country. Finally, the big evening. That kind of attention from a handsome, famous man, a potential president, can easily turn a lady's head. And her head stayed turned until he abruptly dropped her after, as they used to say in prim novels, having his way. She didn't want publicity, nor did she want me to write about it before Hart withdrew, because she didn't want to be responsible for his downfall. So, at her request, I agreed not to use the story. Frankly, I was relieved that she didn't want the story told at the time, because that's not my kind of journalism. In 23 years of writing this column, I've never pried into any public figure's sexual habits. Like most people in this business, and in politics, I occasionally hear things. That guy is gay, this guy is keeping a mistress, another guy and his secretary ... and so on. Some lies, some true. But I always figured that if a politician's private performance doesn't affect his public performance, what do I care how he does it or who he does it with? And the overwhelming majority of news people feel the same way. Which is one reason why we are not, despite what Hart seems to be saying, entering an era of sexual inquisition by press. Another reason we aren't is that most politicians either don't have anything of this nature to hide, or, if they do, are smart enough to hide it. Hart wasn't. So a paper in Miami gets tipped about one romance. A paper in Washingtopn has another. A columnist in Chicago knows about a third. And who knows how many more would have, or will, bob to the surface9 Hart left such big tracks that it didn't take a Daniel Boone to follow them. If you notice, nobody is asking Joe Biden, Paul Simon, Mike Dukakis, Jesse Jackson or any other candidates about philandering. They haven't made it an issue, as Hart did for himself. So if embittered Hart supporters and other Democrats need someone to blame, their target should be Hart. He and his bizarre habits are the reason the Democratic Party is rn an even bigger mess than usual. And they might consider what would have happened if Hart had gone on to capture the nomination and be their candidate. You can bet that next year, when crunch time came, the Republicans, knowing about every squeak of the bed springs, would have unloaded the whole story: Miss Rice, Miss X, Miss Y and Miss I. The Democrats should think about that and ask Hart; Didn't it occur to you Gary, what you were doing to us? Didn't it occur to you that you might be depriving us of a candidate who had a chance to win9 So, if they need someone to be mad at, he's the boy, because what he was doing to the Ladies, he was doing to the Democratic Party, except on a much grander scale.

Having purchased my first BM in august this year, 735i S regd 98 i decided to get her serviced after a week.A used a garage named BRUCE COUSINS in Scunthorpe. I was shocked to receive a call later that same day telling me to call in as they had found a very serious problem? (would'nt tell me on the phone?) I was told that an additive had been found in the coolant?
Upon arrival i was usherd into the office to be told that the car was basically knackered and to sell it asap. The coolant was hiding a probable cracked head or blown head gasket,(re-con engine would be £1400),the air-con did'nt work,the parking sensors were u/s & the mot (aug 09) was'nt worth the paper it was witten on as 2 brake pipes were corroded past use,a leaking rear shocker & a engine mounting was corroded.
How wrong BRUCE COUSINS of Scunthorpe could be.......
Turns out the expansion tank was split & had been bodged up, the air-con needed re-gassing,one of the parking sensors was not working right & as for the other problems they were found to be sound when i took the car to a REPUTABLE GARAGE/DEALER such as KEVIN MARTIN of Scunthorpe.
What a unquestionable professional service...i would recommend KEVIN MARTINS of Scunthorpe without hesitation. Absolutely 1st class. 100%
As for BRUCE COUSINS of scunthorpe.....FORGET IT......i understand 2 of his mechanics left as they were fed up of lying to customers over non-exsistant faults!
Oh & car is running like a dream now.....Thanks to KEVIN MARTIN

I have a book on my shelf titled "Software Exorcism", which is all about debugging and optimization. It's a good book, but it doesn't have any reference to the (I suspect) widely-used-but-rarely-discussed technique of "shower debugging".
Shower debugging is somewhat related to inspection, where you read source code to try to find the bug, but substitutes hot water and toiletries for a code editor.
I was working on a problem this morning, and managed to figure out what was going on and why in about 10 minutes.
There are, however, a few cautions with this technique:
- Additional hot water usage, with the associated increased chance of the "arctic blast mind refocusing experience".
- You will, at some point, forget whether you've washed your hair yet. For the sake of others, please do it again, just to be sure.
- Two words: Prune City

We have often made fun of the Huffington Post for being obsessed with Israel and Jewish topics, to the point where they will publish articles that have very little relevance to most of their readership. I'm not sure I ever really believed that it was true, though, until yesterday when the following article was published fourth from the top in the "World" section.
And just in case you thought maybe this article wouldn't lead to a classic Huffington Post hate parade, sorry to prove you wrong:
I guess the editors got what they wanted. Again.

If, like me, you find that you must sell a beloved home, who better to turn to for advice than the Renaissance real estate mogul William Shakespeare, whose cornering of the 17th-century Stratford-upon-Avon housing market is as impressive to realty buffs as his genius as a wordsmith is to literary types.
Frank Langella is doing a completely respectable King Lear at the Brooklyn Academy of Music's Harvey in William Shakespeare's tragedy of the same name. But wait. Better be more specific, since in discussing the daunting role, the actor is on record as saying he makes a very deliberate point of never giving the same performance twice.

A Gigli saw was a type of cutting tool, consisting of a long flexible wire with handles at either end.
Doctor Elizabeth Lense was forced to used a tool much like a Gigli saw for amputations while serving as a field medic for the Jabari in late 2376. (SCE eBook: Wounds, Book 2)

The Shield magazine was a surprise to me. Now, tell me that don't look like a throwback to the old S&W 3rd generation semiauto mags!
A few more comparison pics:
I shot the Shield today, running 50 rounds of Federal Champion 115 grain, 50 rounds of Gold Dot 115 grain JHP and Federal 9BPLE 115 grain +P+ through it. It performed flawlessly, and handled the +P+ really well.
Slow fire was one ragged hole at 5 yards, easy minute of bad guy accuracy during rapid fire.
The safety, which I would just ignore when carrying, had positive clicks for both on and off. With my hand, I can see no way that it would be accidentally bumped, and it is textured in such a way that a sweep with the thumb deactivates it easily and positively, for those who have 1911 muscle memory.
The trigger was typical M&P to me, but did have an audible click reset. Not as good as a Glock, but not bad either. Certainly good enough for social work. The recoil was no problem at all, very controllable. That is one bonus of the 24 ounce heft.
I sometimes pocket carry the PF9, but I would not pocket carry the Shield, despite their similar size. The sloped rear of the slide make the PF9 much quicker out of a pocket, and it's certainly more comfortable to pocket an 18 ounce pistol, versus a 24 ounce pistol.
I see the Shield as the modern day replacement for the old classic S&W 3913 series. An excellent belt or IWB single stack carry 9, with a modern striker fired design. It weighs about the same as my steel J frame model 36 Chief's Special 38, but packs 8 or 9 rounds of 9mm +P.
However, the Shield better go on a diet if they come out with a .45 model. This is one of the heavier single stack poly 9mm models. The Glock 36 is only 27 ounces fully loaded with 6+1 rounds of 45 caliber 230 grain goodness.
Time will tell. For those who wanted a Glock single stack 9, this deserves a hard look.

I know this been discussed before, but several people on "say no to VRBO fee" FB group were discussing ownerrez and also were asking if there is a rate table widget (that can be imbedded in a website).
I thought that this is not that important, because there is a quote/book widget, right? Apparently not so. In absence of rate table widget, I have created manually a rate table and added to my property website page. Well since I have google analytics, I see that people do click on that page a lot, even though they have quote/book widget readily available. Was wondering if this is in the works? Thanks

I haven't had time to post much, nor have I had time to do as much
gardening as I need to, but I've been trying to keep up with everyone!
I had some losses this year. The butterfly bushes were hit hard and I
lost the yellow 'Honeycomb' and I think 'Black Night' as well. The
others are showing new growth mostly from the base. Should I thin out
the suckers to a few? Should I tip prune them to encourage side
branching? I think my nandinas bit the dust. I'm very disappointed
about their demise and I may replace them. My aronias look lovely and
the PHYSOCARPUS 'DIABLO' (NINEBARK) is responding well to being pruned
back in late winter. I trimmed back my nepetas this year and plan to
try pruning sedum 'Autumn Joy' as well to keep it stocky. (I know it's
not sedum any more, but I'm old-fashioned). The
CIMICIFUGA PURPUREA, again, wrong scientific name, is enormous! I
bought a new cultivar to try.
I posted a few pictures of odds and ends at:
http://f1.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/chrispnpt/my_photos (See Spring 2004).
I need to take some shots in the morning light! I'm always shooting
after work in the twilight! I'll add more overviews soon.

Almost sounds like you have a boost fooler already! Where is your boost gauge tapped into? Is it the map line? You should be getting better then 21 psi.The reason I say that is if you have it tied into the map line in between the fooler and the map sensor you will only read what the fooler is set at which will be close to 21 psi.

you could put your boost line in the AIH spot... some vendors sell a fitting that screws into the spot and has a fitting for your boost line..

Americans are obsessed with sports. And whether you enjoy rooting for your team on the court, the diamond, the gridiron or on home ice, there is a credit card that can offer you rewards and benefits for your sports-related purchases while showing support for your home team.

BMW M6 GTLM and BMW M6 GT3 both finished second at the 12 Hours of Sebring.
Sebring (US), March 20, 2016... BMW Team RLL secured the maiden podium result for the newly developed BMW M6 GTLM at the legendary 12-hour race in Sebring (US). Bill Auberlen (US), Dirk Werner (DE) and Bruno Spengler (CA) finished second in the GTLM class at round two of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship (IWSC), sharing driving duties in the Number 25 BMW M6 GTLM.
When last-stint driver Werner crossed the line after 235 laps of the Sebring International Raceway, the gap to the winning Corvette was 2.882 seconds. John Edwards (US), Lucas Luhr (DE) and Kuno Wittmer (CA) in the Number 100 BMW Team RLL car also had their sights firmly set on a podium finish, until the car was spun by another competitor, dropping it back to sixth in the final phase of the race.
Following the car's first pole position on Friday scored by Auberlen, this result is the next milestone in the young racing career of the BMW M6 GTLM. It was again Auberlen who clocked the fastest GTLM lap time of 1:59.182 minutes during the race. Spengler, usually racing with BMW Team MTEK in the DTM, was able to celebrate on the podium after his very first visit to Sebring.

All of us depend on nature to live. In some ways, Earth's bounty is like a bank account, which is recharged, for instance by sun-powered plant growth. Against this account, we—as individuals, as nations, and as a global community—are constantly making withdrawals.
But as human numbers and activities increase, we spend more and more against nature's account. Are we withdrawing at a rate that exceeds nature's ability to recharge this account? Are we able to maintain a positive balance?

The Broken Mug
They say everything happens for a reason; that every life and every death play a vital role in determining the events of tomorrow. I am a firm believer in that. I also strongly believe in the unpredictability of life and its events. No one can determine the exact happenings over the next hour, or day, or week, or month. Your life may remain undisturbed, to an extent. Who could've predicted that mug would fall from its perch and break in two – yes, halved – separate pieces of mug? See, unpredictable! Although you'd never say a broken mug had a huge impact on your life; so you blindly overlook the deeper meaning…
You see, while your life seems to be going on track, regardless of the mug example, somewhere else in this big wide world lies a broken little girl on a hospital bed.
And she's dying.
Her father has never felt more fear in his life than he is feeling right now. Her mother lies in a bed beside her baby sister, both completely oblivious to the tragedy that was about to slice their perfect little family into two broken halves… Just like the mug that, all the while this is happening, you are cleaning up off your kitchen floor and blatantly, narrow-mindedly classifying that perfect example of life's instabilities to be 'one of those things'.

Chapter Fifteen, Part Five: The Temptation of Saint Anthony, 1945Mature
A grin and groan from the Doctor, who by now is on the floor. He picks up the mask, preparing himself for the effort of speech. "Will you two say I Do already? We still have to send her back in time to get the Hand from you!"
The Master blinks. "What? What are you on about? What the hell did you…" He looks at the mask. Then he looks at Flamina. "You shit! I could have killed her!"
"But you didn't. Oh, Master, really…" Throwing off the ruse of weakness, the Doctor squints one eye, then pushes himself to his feet. With his free hand, he takes out some sort of scanner from his famous pockets and waves it over her chest until it beeps. "Oh yep, it's there! I'd suggest drawing straws, but…" He motions to the pile of dust in a baggie sitting on the console room floor. "I've already had a go. Help me hold her, would you?"
Her eyes snap wide as she follows his finger. Surely he can't mean… but then she is writhing in the Master's grip. Soon, her arms are tied before she can level the big shard more than an arm's length. It drops to the floor.
To his infinite surprise, the Master still finds her quite the prettiest frying chicken he's ever seen.
The Doctor breathes a muffled sorry as he stuffs a sock puppet in her mouth. Her eyes are full and on him, dilate saucers brimming with the promise of pain.
"Blinovitch is a bore," says the Master thoughtfully as he produces a pair of tongs and stuffs them down her bodice. "If I win the next election, can we abolish it?"

Kyle's Korner ….
There are some local ties to teams in the state championship football games this week in both Kentucky and West Virginia.
Of course Belfry is a fixture in the state title game in the Bluegrass State. They are hoping for a 3-peat this weekend as they take on Lexington Catholic in the Class 3A championship. However, two other regional teams playing for the big trophy also have local connections.
Chris McNamee, head coach at Pikeville, is the brother of Tim McNamee, who is the manager of Hurley Home Health in Williamson. The McNamee brothers were standout athletes in their own right. The Pikeville Panthers will be playing for the Class A state championship on Thursday night in Bowling Green.
Johnson Central will be playing in their first-ever Class 4A state championship. They are coached by former Belfry High School standout and hall of famer Jim Matney.
Matney previously coached at Sheldon Clark in nearby Inez, Ky. for several years.
The Tolsia Rebels will be trying for the Class 2A state championship in West Virginia this weekend. They are coached by Mike Smith, who is a graduate of the old Kermit High School. Big Mike was known for basketball during his high school days and played hoops at Alice Lloyd College. He previously coached basketball at Gilbert and at Tolsia. He won a state basketball title for the Rebels.
Over the years he got into coaching football too. He had been an assistant at Gilbert and head coach at Tug Valley and Pike Central.
Smith has built the Rebel program back to respectability and will now lead them to Wheeling for a chance at the Class 2A title.
… Tolsia is a consolidation of the old Crum and Fort Gay High Schools. Crum was a Class A power back in the early to mid-1960s. The Mountaineers won a state title back in 1965. Those students are now a par to the Tolsia program.
.. Good luck to all of those coaches and teams as they take their respective teams into those championship games this weekend.
… There are rumors of at least one head coaching change in high school football in the area. Keep reading for the latest on this.
Shane Griffith of Scott High School has already resigned from that position. So there will be at least one new head coach in the Cardinal Conference. Griffith had a lot of success coaching the Skyhawks program. I've heard former local coach and Matewan/Marshall standout Melvin Cunningham is a candidate for that Boone County job. He coached at Fairland, Ohio this season.
… Although football is still the talk of many schools, high school basketball teams have already hit the hardwood for pre-season practices. In fact, the girls' teams will start regular season play in the coming days.
The boys' teams will begin a week later.
I'm looking forward to the season opener for the Mingo Central Miners under new Coach Garland "Rabbit" Thompson. They will take on the Logan Wildcats Tuesday, Dec. 8, at the Williamson Fieldhouse. The Wildcats are now coached by former Williamson Wolfpack head mentor Allan Hatcher. It will be the return for both Hatcher and Thompson to the historic venue. Thompson served as an assistant to Curt Fletcher when the Wolfpack won their last state title, a Class A crown back in 2001. Hatcher led the Pack to the AA title back in 1983.
… It appears Montrell Dixson has left Pike County Central and moved back to Chicago. Dixson, who played at Mingo Central last year, had reportedly tried to enroll at Chapmanville to play for his former Miner's coach Brad Napier.
Then he moved to Pike County Central, Ky. high school and was reportedly going to play for the Hawks. Now, according to a Facebook post, Dixson has moved back to Chicago. That is where the family originated from. His cousin Dikembe is playing college basketball back in the Windy City.
… Cameron Justice, the son of former Belfry hoops coach Raymond Justice, is already getting significant playing time as a true freshman at Vanderbilt. I caught some of the Vandy game showing the former Mr. Basketball of Kentucky on ESPN this past weekend. Justice played at East Ridge, before transferring to Knott County. He will be playing against UK later this year.
… I've always said there is way too many bowl games for college football now. It appears that there may be teams with a losing record of 5-7 to get a bowl berth this season. There are so many bowls – but not enough schools with winning records.
Go figure.

"If Nature Calls, It's In The Back"Mature
Maggie waited for a moment, then, knocked again, slightly louder. When still no response came, she turned to Danny, who simply shrugged at her. Maggie turned back to the double doors and took a firm grip on the handle, closing her eye's she told herself,
'You need this story, you really need this story!'
Maggie pulled the handle and the door swung open, "Hello?" Maggie called in as she stepped inside. The room was spacious and well lit, straight ahead from the entrance stood a very rickety old desk littered with pizza boxes and papers.
To the left of the desk stood an enormous red and silver drum kit, leaning against the drum kit was a purple electric guitar, shaped like a bat. Maggie didn't like the guitar, something about it was making her skin crawl, like it was watching her.
To the right of the desk was a pool table, balls scattered across the green carpet cloth. Maggie took a few steps into the office and looked around at the walls, they were mostly bare, a couple of half naked girl posters and a mounted television, which was playing the news. The wall directly to the left of the desk, however, was adorned with numerous swords, swords with things embedded on them.
Maggie walked very slowly and cautiously to the wall to inspect what she was still hoping were old movie props or something, but as she reached the first sword, a huge European medieval broad sword, she soon realised the grotesque head it speared, was not fake.
The head appeared to have at least seven eyes that Maggie could count, it also seemed to be riddled with bullet holes. The mouth opened from side to side rather than up and down, and its teeth looked like six inch spears, like a Mako sharks.
It didn't appear to have any ears, Maggie looked along the remains of its neck and found four slits, gills, whatever this thing had been, it had breathed underwater.
"Wow, cool drum kit" Danny suddenly exclaimed, making Maggie jump,
"Oh so you finally decided to come in then?" she replied,
"Hey I figured if you didn't come flying back out the door with a sword in your gut I'd be okay",
"My hero",
"Maggie, what the hell is that thing?" he had seen the head on the sword,
"I have no idea I don't recognise any of them, do you think their all demons?"
"Some of them, the rest don't quite have the privilege to be honoured, Demon".
Maggie and Danny both span around looking for the source of the voice. Then Danny looked up into the rafters and grabbed Maggie's shoulder, she looked up with him and they saw a beautiful blonde woman sitting on a cross beam, smiling at them from behind black sunglasses.
"I take it your looking for Dante?" she asked, her voice was very soft and a little patronizing,
"I guess we are now" Maggie replied, "I mean yes, I think so",
"We don't actually know the guys name, he helped us out earlier today and we wanted to talk to him about it" Danny continued more helpfully,
"So Dante has groupies, he'll be thrilled" the blonde responded,
"Is he here?" Maggie asked,
"Sorry, you just missed him, I'd take a message, but I'm not planning on hanging round", she pushed herself off the beam and fell to the floor, barely registering the eleven foot drop,
"Do you know when he'll be back?" Danny asked,
"Well let's just say, it's a good thing Dante has a reputation round here, otherwise he'd have been cleaned out years ago",
"So a while then" Danny spat, the blonde just smiled. Danny was annoyed, but was also finding it very difficult to focus on anything except her skin tight, black leather cat suit, and the rather vicious looking samurai sword on her back,
"Mind if we wait?" Maggie asked,
"Do you what you like" she replied, "but if you're waiting for an interview Miss Rose, you're wasting your time" she strode to the door and swung it open,
"Wait" Maggie called, "who are you and how do you know my name?"
The blonde smiled, "I'm Trish" she turned towards the door, "Oh, and if nature calls, it's in the back" then she disappeared into the night.
Less than four blocks away...
Dante ran the length of the roof top, focusing his sense of smell his keen eye's checking every shadow and directional hearing checking for any erratic noise. The roof was about to reach a dead end as it pressed against another, taller building. Dante stopped and pressed his ear against the side of the next building,
"Can't keep running forever can ya?" he asked the night.
Dante closed his eyes and tried to focus on the creatures heavy footfalls, "Things gotta be thirty feet long, how can it move so quietly?"
The attack came swiftly and suddenly, a massive tentacle swept down from the next building's roof and wrapped itself around Dante's waist, there was piercing pain and as a second tentacle moved down to attack, Dante saw it homed dozens of tiny mouths all biting and snapping to get to him.
The tentacle pulled Dante higher up the wall, lifting him right off his feet he drew the Ebony from its holster and pushed the barrel into the attacking appendage.
Dante fired and a shot of blood and flesh sprayed him, but the tentacle only increased the pressure and the tiny mouths bit deeper into his flesh. The tentacle suddenly lurched up and pulled Dante onto the next roof.
Finally face to face, the creature holding him was about the size of a small elephant, it hand long powerful legs with massive killer claws and jaws the size of a dust bin. The tentacle were coming from its neck, sliding out from just above its spine, the eyes were black, two huge black balls in the middle of its squashed, fleshy face, the creatures skin was a murky brown, red colour and the smell was putrid.
"Wow, now there's a face not even a mother could love" Dante taunted the beast, which opened its enormous mouth and roared back, covering Dante in saliva,
"Hey, I asked for the news, not the weather" the teeth biting him gripped again and suddenly the pain became a hundred times worse, the small mouths wrapped around him, had started to eat.
The creature pulled Dante towards it, mouth salivating as it widened, Dante reached back and tried to grab the Rebellion, but the swords sheave was loose and kept sliding just out of reach, Dante was only a foot from being ripped to pieces when he suddenly felt cold metal against his hand and pulled the sword free, swinging it in one swift motion and severing the tentacle.
The beasts recoiled backwards, screaming in pain as the remains of its limb writhed about in mid air, spraying foul smelling green blood across the scene. As if to protect itself the second tentacle withdrew into the creatures back, then it lowered itself on its front legs, readying to attack.
Dante rested the blade of his shoulder on his shoulder and brushed a long strand of silver hair away from his face,
"So, you gonna give up now, or are we really going to do this?" Dante asked in a low cocky voice,
"Human insect!" the beasts roared back, "You are no match for my power!"
Dante eyed the monster curiously, "Not your average, run of this mill demon then, who sent you?"
The demon suddenly reared up on its hind legs and what Dante first mistook to be another tentacle, slithered away from its spine and reached out behind it, it had grown a strong, thick tail to balance itself while it stood upright, then it tilted itself head slightly, examining Dante,
"You are not an ordinary human."
"Never said I was" Dante replied dryly,
"You have power.....something behind your eyes........who are you, boy?"
"My world" Dante replied, "I'll ask the questions, who sent you?"
The massive demon crossed its forearms over its chest and the sides of its mouth curled into a menacing, razor toothed smile,
"Your world we be gone soon little man, and the one true god will reclaim what is rightfully his." The demon throw back its head and bellowed a roar like laugh.
Dante's half smile vanished, 'It can't be, it's too soon?'
Spinning the Rebellion broad sword then thrusting the massive blade towards the demon, Dante screamed, "YOU'RE LYING!"
The demon continued to roar in laughter at Dante, it unfolded its colossal forearms and came slamming down to the ground, shaking the whole building, it's face only a few feet from Dante,
"He is coming little, pointless man, and when he returns, this world will know no peace ever again, the humans will be no more than food and play things of us!"
Dante casually strolled closer, raised the broad sword again, and poked the demon in the middle of its squashed face, grinning,
"Not if I have anything to do with it, mittens."
The demon roared again and lunged forwards, snapping its huge jaws in the spot Dante had been standing a split second ago.......but he was gone. The demon spun around, looking on all sides for Dante, but there was no sign of him.
The demon rolled its eye's up in their sockets as high as they could go, and just caught a flash of red leather. The mighty beasts pushed itself up on its hind legs, shaking its body to try and throw Dante off, Dante, however, was sitting on the back on the demons head, holding onto the half severed and now useless Tentacle and laughing at the demon.
"You know, for a powerful ancient demon, you are really, really dumb."
The demon roared again and threw itself back onto its front legs, Dante held fast to the tentacle as it swung up, over the demons head, then releasing it, he fell neatly to his feet, Ebony and Ivory in hand.
The demon jumped backwards away from the attack, thick green blood spurting from its head wounds. It clenched it's teeth in rage, hissing and spitting at Dante, then, arched its body forwards again, and sent its thick, powerful tail flying at Dante.
The tail came smashing down onto the roof top, breaking right through and exposing the room below, Dante leaping ten feet into the air and landing on a flimsy steel radio antenna, which held fast as if Dante weighed nothing. He heard screams and a door slam in the building below, 'Well, if you will live in this area.'
The demon turned to look up at him,
"Fight you pitiful creature, are you scared?"
Dante smiled back, winking at the demon, "What's the matter, don't you like playing cat and mouse, fluffy?"
Dante pushed back against the antenna then, then, let it fling him forwards, over the demon and landing neatly on the edge of the building, he drew his handguns and began shooting and the demon, it howled in pain and spun around to face Dante, who had holstered his guns, and was now laying casually along the edge of the roof.
The demon lunged forwards once more, raised up onto its hind legs and held one huge clawed paw over Dante,
"Now, little pest, you die!"
"I don't think so" Dante replied coolie. The demon went to attack, then, faulted like it was losing balance, "Drop something?" Dante asked nodding towards the ground at the demons feet, where its severed tail now lay. The demon could not balance itself and fell onto its back, it swung out with its limbs, trying to turn itself over and get back up, but Dante was too fast. With one effortless jump, he had landed right on the demons chest, pulled out the Ivory and blasted a huge hole in its flesh.
"Hmmm, what do we have here?"
Where the heart should have been, was a large ball of pulsating molten lava, Dante redrew the Rebellion, the demon opened its mouth, as if to beg for its life,
"Shush now buttons, this won't hurt a bit."
Dante plunged the blade deep into the lava heart and felt its pulsing quicken, "Good kitty."
He leapt down from the beast and rolled to the far side of the roof. The demon was convulsing violently, thick bursts of hot lava were exploding from the hole in its chest, melt the creatures flesh and reducing it to a sticky mass, just before its screaming head melted into nothing, Dante called, "When you see your boss, tell him I'm waiting will ya, I get bored real quick."

Aliens are demons and demon hybrids. They are all evil.
excuse me, you mean This DUMB STUPID PLANET EARTH has the only not very intelligent beings in the entire cosmos.
You mean to tell me all those in the cosmos who travel the entire friendly creation, as more evil that the shitheads on earth? If so how come WE can't travel out there with them, well it's because the people of the earth are the most evil shitheads out there and this is a prison ward for them.
You mean to tell me that all the beings from the billions of HEAVEN WORLDs are also more evil that the evil shits on earth?
Really Lisa, God gave you a MIND, use it.
when you make these statements you work against the Father and Jesus. YOu see, Jesus is an ET from HEAVEN, so I guess he is more evil than the people on this planet, right? THINK,.
I will not let up on you Lisa, for you talk trash. GROW UP. Demons cannot fly in space Lisa, they are confined to planets, so sorry, those ones out there are not demons.
The world "alien" implies folks NOT FROM THIS SHIT PLANET. So they can't be demons. Demons do not roam space.
God Loves ALL
Lisa does have a brain and thats why she she's through the BS.The doctrine you are spouting about universalism,ET's and the new age will probably be the satanic doctrine that will ensnare nearly the entire world during the reign of the anti christ.
You have NOTHING to support that these things are ET's from foreign planets except their word..nothing more.They have made up these lies about the 5th dimension,high vibrations, etc to give gullible people an explanation why they and their craft are capable of doing things like going through objects,disappearing into thin air etc.Their excuses are nonsense.They can do these things because they are not flesh and blood but rather evil spirits.And the ones that do appear solid are likely nephilim,hybrids created with their own genetic material mixed with a humans.
Anonymous Coward 27698153
You're entitled to your opinion. But many of us do indeed know they exist. And some of the ETs are flesh and blood physical as I've actually reached out and touched them before. But I've experienced nothing but great love in their presence.
Most of your beliefs seemed to be based in fear or you are trying to reconcile the bible with reality by fitting ETs into the role of nephilim or demons. Can you see how narrow minded that is? The universe is much more than what has ever been written in a book. It is vast and it is populated. Don't let fear stop you from getting to know your neighbors.

"I got to tour their facilities, I met most of their coaches, they talked about their interest in me, and it was nice down there. I enjoyed it."
Roseboro did not leave with an offer, but that's OK.
He knows those will come in time.
"I still have two offers right now from Duke and North Carolina, but I am hearing from a lot of schools. I get a lot of mail from Alabama, Penn State, Clemson, Michigan, North Carolina State, Tennessee, and some others. I have a lot of schools showing interest, so I am just going to keep working hard."
The 6-foot-4, 263 pound sophomore out of Lincolnton, N.C. had 108 tackles, 30 tackles for loss, eight sacks, four forced fumbles, and four fumble recoveries in 2012.
He is working hard for an even better junior campaign.
"I want to be a better pass rusher and get more sacks next year. It starts with the technique, so that is what I am really working on right now. I know I will be better next year."
Scout predicts his game will be better and that his offer list will be much longer this time next year.
Roseboro will likely have seen more schools too.
He has only tripped to Duke, Georgia, and North Carolina so far and he has other visits in mind.
"Georgia was good and I enjoyed going to games at Duke and UNC in the fall, but I want to see Clemson and North Carolina State too," he said. "I will be at Duke on March 2, that will be my next trip. After that, I will likely get to UNC and N.C. State."
More visits will lead to Roseboro separating some schools on his list.
"All schools are even right now. I just want to see more places, meet more coaches, and things like that before I start having leaders. Everything is even for me right now."

Atlantic City Getting Closer to State Takeover
Beleaguered Atlantic City is getting closer to a state takeover.
Thursday, New Jersey officially gave notice that its seaside gambling capital had violated covenants of a $73 million loan by not dissolving its municipal utilities department, which was serving as collateral.
Atlantic City now has until October 3 to do so. If it doesn't, the state could demand full repayment of the loan and also withhold additional state aid. It could also seize the utilities department or Bader Field, the local airport, which is also listed as collateral, according to Moody's Investors Service.
Moody's analyst Doug Goldmacher said:
Regardless of the state's reaction, Atlantic City's inability to meet its loan covenants is a credit negative and indicative of the city's severe fiscal distress. It also brings the city closer to a potential state takeover.
Moody's rates Atlantic City Caa3, one of its lowest ratings, with a negative outlook.

Jews have become so integrated into American society that they tend to mirror American culture in many ways. For example, Jews live in small towns, rural areas, and in Alaska, not just in New York, Los Angeles, and Miami. Some Jews are very wealthy, and some are homeless. Jews are both heterosexual and gay/lesbian. Jews divorce and remarry, they are working-class and professional. Jews are contemporary Americans, not mythical 19th-century shtetl residents from Fiddler on the Roof. After all, Tevye and some of his children did move to America. Jews are part of the fabric of American life, which includes a rich racial and ethnic diversity.
As Jews become more integrated into the overall American society, it should hardly come as a surprise that growing numbers of African Americans, Asians, Latinos and mixed-race individuals are becoming part of the Jewish community. However, this growth augments a diverse Jewish population that has existed in America for hundreds of years. The first American Jews were Sephardic and African, as well as Ashkenazi.
Most Jews are somewhat aware of the great Sephardic cultures that existed in Spain and Portugal, and in the last twenty years have become aware of the Ethiopian population that made aliyah to Israel. However, these can seem, to most Jews, to be historical artifacts or exotic exceptions. The subject of African American, Latino, Asian American, Native American or mixed race Jews can create disbelief, surprise or even dismissal from some Jews.
Ironically, Jews, as a group, were considered non-white by the American majority well into the 1950s and early 1960s. Jews were considered by others to be "black" or "Oriental." It is no coincidence that racially-restrictive covenants and housing laws in America, prior to the late 1940s, targeted African Americans, Asians, and Jews, all considered to be foreign, non-white racial groups.
On the timeline of Jewish existence, the white status of Jews is something of a novelty. For some Jews, it is difficult to absorb that Jews were once considered to be non-white. Still others, oddly enough, will never think of themselves as white at all. They still consider themselves to be part of a minority that exists outside the white mainstream of America. They feel that they are strangers in the land, still. Yet, as they relate to people of color, most Jews in the United States are clearly white, even if they can sometimes empathize or identify with people of color.
There are many racially and ethnically diverse Jews who are born Jewish. These individuals are not necessarily of mixed-race. Around the world, including within the United States, there are long-established families and communities of color who have been Jewish for generations. Additionally, significant numbers of Jews marry someone who is not born Jewish. Even when the non-Jewish partner does not convert, their children may grow up with a Jewish identity, with multiple religious identities, or with no religious identity at all. Some people of color become Jews through formal conversion, and still others live as Jews-transforming their identity psychologically and functionally-without undertaking rites of conversion. An increasing number of people of color become Jewish when they are adopted by Jewish parents. Many, but not all, of these adopted children undergo a formal conversion while they are still minors and grow up just like other Jewish kids in America.
The Demographic Study of Jews is Difficult
Scholars, community leaders, and the public at large often inquire about the size, make-up, and location of the diverse Jewish population. The demographic study of Jews is difficult for a variety of reasons. First, some countries, like the United States, do not ask about religion in their census counts of the population. A number of groups (including many Jewish institutions) are concerned about the separation of church and state, and do not want the government inquiring about religion. Therefore, we rely on a variety of surveys to try to estimate the Jewish population, including the number of diverse Jews.
Second, Jewish communities are highly dispersed. Even in communities with significant Jewish populations, people are more likely to be scattered among the general population than in previous generations. Jews also live in the suburban fringes of many metropolitan areas, far from any Jewish population center, making them difficult to locate. Finding Jewish respondents outside major metropolitan areas is an even more needle-in-a-haystack endeavor.
Third, some Jews do not want to be found. When receiving an unexpected telephone call from a stranger wanting to know if they are Jewish or not, many will simply hang up the phone or even hide their identity or background. The Institute for Jewish & Community Research conducted methodological tests that confirm that there are many Jews that previous studies missed. Some groups of Jews are more reluctant than others to reveal their religious identity to telephone survey researchers, such as Russian Jews and Israelis in the United States. Among those people who may not be inclined to cooperate with survey researchers are those who tend to mistrust governments; who have been victims of persecution; who reject their religious identity; and who think of themselves as ethnic Jews rather than religious Jews. Both locating Jews and inducing them to reveal their religious identity complicate and compromise our ability to estimate the number of diverse Jews.
The number of Jews in the United States
A 2002 national telephone survey conducted by the Institute for Jewish & Community Research (IJCR) estimates there are over 6 million Jews in the United States, considerably more than the 5.2 million Jews counted by the 2000 National Jewish Population Study (NJPS) conducted by the United Jewish Communities (UJC). Our estimate of over 6 million Jews includes the same categories included in other population estimates: those who say Judaism is their religion and those who have a Jewish background (parent or upbringing).
The Institute for Jewish & Community Research survey was able to locate more Jews due to the nature of the questions and the order in which they were asked. For example, the Institute found that it was less threatening to begin the interview with a series of personal questions that inquired about ancestry rather than religious identity.
This is especially important because many American Jews think of themselves more in ethnic or cultural terms than in religious ones, and are more comfortable talking about that aspect of their identity. Other studies conducted by IJCR have shown that many Jews say, "I am not a religious Jew or a practicing Jew, but I feel Jewish. I am a cultural Jew." The discrepancy between the IJCR count of 6 million Jews and the NJPS count of 5.2 million Jews is partially due to IJCR's success in having more ethnic and cultural Jews respond to the survey.
Jews of Color Are a Growing Population in the United States
Diversity characterizes the American Jewish community, partially through historical antecedents and partially through contemporary social forces at work. The Jewish community is growing and changing through intermarriage, conversion, and adoption. Some of the individuals entering the community via these avenues are people of color.
We estimate at least 20% of the Jewish population is racially and ethnically diverse, including African, African American, Latino (Hispanic), Asian, Native American, Sephardic, Mizrahi and mixed-race Jews by heritage, adoption, and marriage. Calculating this number is challenging and requires examining a number of different sources.
First, according to the 2002 IJCR study and the 2000 NJPS study, a little over 7% of America's 6 million Jews say that they are African American, Asian, Latino/Hispanic, or Native American or mixed-race, for a total of about 435,000 individuals. This includes 85,000 who say that they are some race other than white but do not classify themselves more specifically. Second, the NJPS 2000 found 120,000 Jewish adults living in the United States who were born in Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and the Caribbean (not including Israel). We estimate that over half of this foreign-born population (not including children) is comprised of diverse Jews, adding another 65,000.
Third, the number of Israelis living in the United States is under great dispute, including those of diverse backgrounds. For example, the NJPS found only 70,000-93,000 Israelis living in the United States, while the most recent New York demographic study showed about 50,000 Israelis in New York alone. The U.S. Census reports almost 200,000 people who speak Hebrew at home. A 2003 study by the Israeli Foreign Ministry showed almost a half million (500,000) Israelis living in the U.S.
Therefore, based on the U.S. Census, we are conservatively estimating the total number of Israelis in the United States at 200,000. Because approximately half of the population in Israel is of Mizrahi, Sephardic, and African heritage, it stands to reason that 50% of Israelis in the United States could be Mizrahi, Sephardic, or African Jews (who are not included in the other categories listed). Therefore, we conservatively estimate that 100,000 Israelis living in the United States are of diverse backgrounds, or 1.7% of American Jews. This brings the total to 600,000 diverse Jews, or about 10% of the population.
Fourth, a question regarding Sephardic heritage was not asked in the 2000 NJPS, although the 1990 National Jewish Population Study showed that 8% of American Jews said they were Sephardic. Is the real percentage 10%? More? We do not know, other than to surmise it is considerably higher than is reported.
The number of Jews with some Sephardic heritage is likely to be grossly underestimated in many Jewish surveys, including the NJPS. Sephardic heritage is especially apt to be lost in individuals' self-reporting. Many people do not know about their Sephardic background, especially given the propensity of different groups of Jews to intermarry over generations throughout the Diaspora. Taking into consideration all these factors, we are conservatively estimating 10% of the United States population has some Sephardic heritage, in addition to those who say their race is Latino/Hispanic. We have taken into account potential overlap in this reporting and adjusted our estimate accordingly.
Adding 600,000 Sephardic Jews or 10% of the Jewish population together with 600,000 or 10% of Black, Asian, Latino and mixed-race Jews means 1.2 million or 20% of the Jewish population in the United States is diverse. This includes individuals who have converted to Judaism, individuals who have been adopted into Jewish families and raised as Jews, the multiracial children of partnerships between Ashkenazi Jews and people of color, and those who are themselves the generational descendants of Jews of color and those of Sephardic and Mizrahi heritage. (See Table 1)
The Potential to Grow the Jewish People
In addition to over 6 million Jews, IJCR also found some 4.2 million adults in the United States with Jewish heritage: those with a Jewish grandparent or great-grandparent, or more distant Jewish ancestor. Of these 4.2 million, there are 700,000 people with diverse backgrounds who are not currently Jewish, but are aware of a Jewish ancestor. When asked, they claim their Jewish heritage as part of their ethnic or religious identity, even if they do not answer Jewish when asked about their current primary identity. Of course, these numbers would be much larger if more people knew more about their Jewish ancestry. Many who are not currently Jewish have historical ties to Judaism but do not know about their ethnic origins. Ethnic histories over the centuries are quite complex and are lost to many. Millions of people have Jewish ancestors, especially those of Portuguese, Spanish, and African descent, but are unaware of it.
We also found an even larger population of some 6.7 million adults who are not Jewish, but who have a connection to Judaism or the Jewish community. This includes some who are married to Jews and feel identified with the community and others who have an affinity with Judaism or Jews based on intellectual or emotional identification. They are entwined in the Jewish community but are not self-defined as Jews. This group includes some 600,000 individuals - "connected non-Jews" - of diverse backgrounds who are connected to the Jewish people through marriage, friendship, extended family, community, or personal interest.
Some of these individuals are on the path to conversion; they may even be living as Jews in terms of synagogue attendance or ritual observance but have not yet formally become Jews through a conversion or affirmation process. Some may practice Judaism and another religion but have not yet decided to practice only Judaism. Some are so entwined within the Jewish community that they feel Jewish, according to their own self-assessment. They participate in Jewish life and may be raising their children as Jews. (See Table 2)
Jews of Color Are a Growing Population Around the World
Finding Jews in the United States is a simple task when compared to finding individuals and groups with Jewish ancestry around the world. The sophisticated methods of survey research do not apply, and written records sometimes do not exist. Oral traditions or ritual practice are the indicators of Jewish roots and help find some people. Others do not know about their religious origins, especially those descended from ancient, but now assimilated Jewish communities in Africa. Many descendents of Spanish and Portuguese Jews have no idea about their Jewish ancestry.
The potential for Jewish population growth around the world, especially in Latin America and Africa, is as significant as it is in the United States. We estimate millions of people of color who 1) have converted to Judaism; 2) have Jewish heritage; 3) who identify with Judaism; or 4) are on the path to Judaism in South Africa, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Burundi, and elsewhere in Africa. A community in Uganda, the Abayudaya, has been practicing Judaism for almost a hundred years. They recently went through a formal conversion with a Conservative Beit Din. Other such communities exist in India, Burma, Brazil, Peru, and around the globe.
Just as Ashkenazi Jews are a mix of many peoples encountered during centuries of wandering throughout the Diaspora, Jews of color have different backgrounds, different life experiences, and different perspectives on their relationship to Judaism. These differences include geography, socioeconomic class, ideology, culture, skin tone, language, paths to Judaism, and so on. What language, then, shall we use to describe multiracial and multi-ethnic Jews? What about those who are adopted from Asia by Ashkenazi parents? How would one categorize Indian Jews? Some African Americans whose families have been Jewish for over 100 years prefer to be known as "Hebrew Israelites," feeling that "Jew" refers to whites. Still other African American Jews have joined mainstream (read: Ashkenazi) synagogues. What about the Anusim (known also as Conversos or Crypto-Jews), who were forced to convert to Catholicism in Spain and Portugal over 500 years ago?
How do we talk about ourselves when the language we have is too narrow and confining, like outdated racial categories on a census form? How do we describe a group for which there is no group label?
We must use what is admittedly inadequate language: "Jews of color," "diverse Jews," "racially and ethnically diverse Jews." All of these terms refer to those who are in currently distinct subcultures from the majority Jewish community in the United States. Many people who fall into this category may not define themselves as "people of color," yet many in the mainstream view them as being "other." It is these people, whatever their origins and culture, whatever their skin tone, whatever their path to Judaism, that we discuss.
Racial and ethnic diversity in the Jewish community is important for five reasons:
1. Whatever percentage of the American Jewish population diverse Jews may represent, their numbers are increasing.
Diverse Jews help grow the Jewish population. The potential for increasing that number-thereby increasing our communal numbers overall-is significant and intriguing. Numbers are important for their own sake. Despite the outcries so common in Jewish institutional circles that quality not quantity matters, both are important. A larger, more expansive Jewish community is healthier than a shrinking one. Considering the number of "connected non-Jews" already in existence, as well as those Americans, including people of color, who feel free to choose or reject the religion of their birth, the Jewish community could greatly expand, perhaps by millions, if it were more open and could attract new individuals, including individuals of color. Jews should consider those individuals, who may not be "officially" Jewish, as friends, and should treat them as such, as they would graciously treat guests in their homes. In addition to the fact that being unwelcoming violates Jewish values, Jews should cherish those people in the world that they can count on for support in the face of rising anti-Semitism.
2. Diverse Jews are deeply identified as Jews
Although population growth is critical, numbers alone will not sustain the Jewish community. The depth of involvement and participation of individual Jews is also essential. The wider Jewish community should care about diversity because most diverse Jews, regardless of their path to Judaism and regardless of their degree of institutional or religious affiliation, are deeply identified as Jews and want to build a stronger Jewish community.
3. Diversity within the Jewish community helps to bridge the gaps with other racial and ethnic groups.
For the last several years, anti-Semitism (sometimes hidden in the form of anti-Israelism) has been rising in the United States, in Europe, and especially in the Muslim world. Encouraging diversity within the Jewish community is one way to address that threat. Increasing the numbers and visibility of racially and ethnically diverse Jews helps to bridge the gaps with other racial and ethnic groups. Anti-Semites portray Israel and Jews as "white colonialists," sometimes likening Israeli actions to the former South African policy of apartheid or even to Nazi practices. Those who oppose the existence of Israel often appeal to individuals of color to join together against the "white colonialists." The misrepresentation of Israel, Jews, and Judaism becomes harder to believe when it is made clear that Jews are people of color. African American Jews are the best spokespeople to connect with other African Americans, Latino Jews can speak to the Latino community, and so on. The more the Jewish community looks like America, the closer the Jewish community remains to all Americans.
4. Diversity helps make Judaism more meaningful
For the Jewish community to continue to thrive into coming generations, the American Jewish mainstream must find a way to make Judaism more meaningful to the growing numbers of disenfranchised Jews, which include younger people, and diversity is one of the keys to that future. The American people, including younger Jews, are growing up in a world that believes racial or ethnic insularity to be racist and polarizing. They consider archaic a community that separates itself from other minority cultures. Popular music, film, and other art forms that appeal to younger people borrow freely from many cultures and no longer disguise their origins. Diversity is such an important part of American identity, that the Jewish community would be well served by devoting resources and energy to racial and ethnic diversity within its own ranks.
5. Racial and ethnic diversity are the hallmark and soul of the Jewish experience
The American Jewish community must support, encourage, and seek diversity, because diversity has always been a vital part of Jewish history and heritage. Throughout Jewish history, the Jewish people have borrowed from and added to other cultures wherever they were, in Egypt or Ethiopia, in Cartagena or Calcutta, Russia or Romania. The Jewish people have always grown by the addition of people from the surrounding cultures, changing and adapting and becoming richer with each addition, whether by choice or by force. No single ethnic or racial group holds the "true Jew" card. The Jewish people have survived by being a people and there is no better reason to embrace that tradition than the mere fact that it has always ensured group survival.
Programmatic needs of diverse Jews are as varied as the backgrounds of the people themselves. There is no singular group with a singular set of needs. In some circumstances, diverse Jews want to be with other Jews just like themselves: Latino Jews only with Latino Jews, African American Jews with African American Jews, and so on. Even within those smaller groupings, there may be a need for sub-groups, like transracially adopted Jews meeting other transracially adopted Jews. At different times, communities of color may wish to join together: All marginalized Jews, for example, may feel a sense of community simply for their status as "not of the mainstream." Finally, diverse Jews also want to participate in programs with the general Jewish population. The permutations of "community" are endless, and institutions that support diverse Jews must bear this in mind.
Created by the Institute for Jewish & Community Research, Be'chol Lashon (In Every Tongue) is a research and community-building initiative for ethnic and racial diversity in the Jewish community. Many of the needs of diverse Jews are not being met by existing programs and institutions. Be'chol Lashon is helping to bridge that gap to create a Jewish community that is more racially, ethnically, and culturally inclusive, both in the United States and around the world.
Be'chol Lashon derives its agenda from the work of the Institute for Jewish & Community Research, helping to guide organizational and institutional missions and activities. Be'chol Lashon helps conceptualize and design programs-even envisioning new organizational structures-to address the needs uncovered in the Institute's research. Be'chol Lashon also helps build partnerships and cooperation among organizations and institutions so that duplication is avoided, unmet meets are met, and efficiency and economies of scale are achieved. The agenda is so vast, complicated, and challenging that more, rather than less, organizational and institutional synergy is essential.
Be'chol Lashon now acts as a central clearinghouse-partnering with individuals and organizations to accomplish this significant agenda. Be'chol Lashon supports the "best and brightest" to assume leadership roles. The initiative has emerged as a model for promoting and embracing both growth and diversity in the Jewish community. Be'chol Lashon is community-building writ large, helping to create lasting, effective ties among those people who might not otherwise have found a way to join together.
In the end, there is a single concept that unites people of different cultures, languages, and colors who feel themselves part of the Jewish community: Israel, Hebrew, and Torah. With those three cornerstones of Judaism as an immutable starting point, creating a community made up of all kinds of Jews is possible.
