FBI Agent John Connally Convicted for Aiding Mafia
On November 6, a Florida jury convicted former FBI Agent John J. Connally, Jr. of initiating the 1982 slaying of a business executive by a hit man for Boston's infamous "Irish Mafia." Connolly is one of several FBI agents at the heart of a decades-old scandal in which the FBI was found to be protecting some of the worst Mafia killers from apprehension and prosecution by other federal, state, and local authorities.
Courting Global Tyranny
Everywhere throughout Rome these days the signs of construction and restoration are unmistakable: ancient monuments, temples, churches, and basilicas are shrouded in scaffolding and streets are blocked off to traffic as workmen paint, chip, clean, and pave. The furious renovation campaign is in preparation for the new millennium, which has been designated Europa 2000 by the European Union and the Year of Jubilee by Pope John Paul II.
Terror, Lies & Memos
Several months after his brother's death, Jesse Trentadue received an anonymous telephone call. The caller claimed to work in the federal prison facility in Oklahoma City where Trentadue's brother, Kenny Trentadue, had died under very troubling circumstances. "The FBI killed your brother," said the voice on the other end of the line. "It was a case of mistaken identity. They thought he was one of the Midwest Bank Robbers."
New Court Decisions in OKC Bombing
For more than 13 years, The New American has been a leading force in advancing the thesis that Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols, the convicted conspirators in the April 19, 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City did not act alone, and that the Clinton administration had engaged in a massive coverup of overwhelming evidence pointing to additional co-conspirators, both foreign and domestic, in the deadly bombing.
The Truth Will Out
On the grounds of Oklahoma City's Will Rogers International Airport stands an imposing high-security prison facility known as the Federal Transfer Center (FTC). On the morning of August 21, 1995, Kenneth Michael Trentadue died there in cell A-709. The alleged cause of death was suicide by hanging.
Hezbollah Supporter Sentenced
On October 2, U.S. District Judge Marianne Battani sentenced Mohamad Fouad Abdallah, 40, of Dearborn, Michigan, to eight months in prison for e-mailing death threats to Debbie Schlussel, a Detroit-area conservative columnist, blogger, attorney, and TV-radio commentator. Abdallah, an avid Hezbollah supporter who had threatened the outspoken Schlussel with rape and murder, claimed in court to be remorseful for the threats, but the judge was unimpressed. "I find it abhorrent," Judge Battani said of Abdallah's sexually obscene threats against Schlussel.
ObamaCare: Idaho Passes Nullification Lite
Following several earlier failed attempts, the Idaho Senate, in the closing hours of the legislative session, passed a bill aimed at limiting the state's "discretionary" participation in the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA, commonly known as ObamaCare). HB 298 passed the state Senate on April 5 by a vote of 24-11, before the legislature adjourned for the year on April 7. The bill, which had earlier passed the House on March 30 by a vote of 50-17, is being called "nullification lite" or "grandson of nullification" by some pundits. But Senator Monty Pearce, the original sponsor of the effort to stop implementation of ObamaCare in Idaho, calls it a "one-toed bill."
Wolf Danger: Idaho Lawmakers Pass Emergency Measure
By a vote of 64 to 5, the Idaho House of Representatives on April 5 approved legislation declaring a state of emergency, due to the "uncontrolled proliferation" of Canadian wolves introduced by the federal government under the Endangered Species Act.
Michael Farris: Constitutional Champion, Home School Defender
Dr. Michael P. Farris (pictured) is Chancellor of Patrick Henry College and Chairman and General Counsel of the Home School Legal Defense Association. Since founding HSLDA in 1983, Dr. Farris has used his extensive experience in both politics and appellate litigation to defend parental rights and help grow the organization to over 80,000 member families with a staff of sixty. As a constitutional attorney, Dr. Farris has argued before the United States Supreme Court, seven U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal, and ten state supreme courts.

UFC lightweight powerhouse, Melvin Guillard has once again been revisiting his last defeat in the octagon at the hands of submission artist, Joe Lauzon, claiming he was dropped by a lucky punch before labelling his conqueror disrespectful in his post-fight comments.
Speaking via FiveOuncesOfPain.com, Guillard said:
If I had to pick any one guy that I wanted to fight it would have to be Joe Lauzon. He was very disrespectful after he won the fight. All I said was I thought I beat myself because I was too amped up and I was also transitioning between camps. I gave him respect for beating me, but then I read in a magazine that he punched me in my face, dropped me and then choked me out. I tried to take the high road and be professional about it, but he chose to be disrespectful about it. I want to win this fight and hopefully get a rematch with Lauzon. [He] caught me with a lucky punch and that was the deciding factor. I could see if he beat me up for five minutes, but he didnt and it will be different if we meet again.
Guillard has lost back-to-back fights inside the octagon to Joe Lauzon and Jim Miller and will now be looking to put himself back in title contention. Prior to that hed strung together a series of wins but maybe took his eye off the bal when he switched Greg Jacksons camp for the Blackzilians. Hell take on Fabricio Camoes at UFC 148 on July 7th in Las Vegas, Nevada.

There was no hair dryer , weird smell in the room, not horrible , but just weird )
Very friendly staff comfortable beds, room had been recently renovated. Wide-screen tv with plenty of channels.
Dirty bedding, reported the bedding to the day staff but nothing was done
The staff were very nice and the room was pleasant. It was reasonable and close to the airport. It was clean and I liked the fact that they were pet friendly.
There was a little problem with their computer for guests locking and freezing but that had nothing to do with Red Roof Inn. They also have an occasional problem getting a shuttle driver but they reimburse on cabs, so that works out. They are really lovely people.
Amenities ( only about 10 T.V. Channels) shower head with poor water pressure, cramped beds (double beds) I cut my foot on a piece of broken glass on the carpet. Hot/Cold handles were reversed (cold came out hot...hot came out cold) my daughter got scalded because of it
Everthing but the computer issue,,,,,,
On the morning of sept.16 I went to the lobby to see if I coulg print my boarding pass and was directed to the computer in the lobby. I went to it and saw that it cost 3$ plus 29 cents a pAGE to print. I swiped my debit card and a screen came up with 3$ on the lower left hand side and 19.95$ on the top right hand corner. I went to the desk to ask what that ment and the man came to the computer with me and said there was not charge for a boarding pass and brought up the screen with the icon for it, I printed out my boarding pass and exit the site. . the screen said 2.90 charge / 3.00 debit........well I thought ok next time I will know better, so I lost 3$........I came home and checked my debit account and saw I was charged 19.95 for that access . I did nothing but print my pass and did not get on any other apps, or the internet at all. I can not get in touch with the company who charged me or stop payment because it is not a credit caard but a debit CARD.....i am angry because I asked for help before I did any thing .
Are room smelled like smoke. beds were unconfortable. bed sheets were dirt. cleaning people did do a good job. the room that I was in was very small.

I didnt like that it had smell to it because of large dogs they allow there. Plus rooms do not get cleaned good i found things under bed that was trash from someone else
Next to the airport.
Staff, nearness to airport
No breakfast
Friendly and helpful staff
I liked everything
It was close to the airport. The bed was very comfortable, and the staff were very friendly. Free airport shuttle (though caution that they do not run 24/7).
A little dirty, no real deal-breakers, but rather, for example, there were still crumbs on the desk/counter and a dirty band-aid on the bathroom floor. Also, the halls smelled musty. For what it was for, a quick one-night stay-over to sleep and get a shower, it was worth it. I'd do it again if need be, for a short stay.
My family stayed at this hotel because it was labeled a smoke free hotel that welcomed pets. Well it did not welcome my dogs. We were told we had to pay extra because our dogs disturbed the man next to us. He was a long term guest and had the priority. And for the smoking, we seen numerous guests smoking on the property and the lady in the room above ours was standing in the window talking on her cell phone and puffing away on a cigarette. When we reported this to the front desk the guy didn't really seem to care but did manage an "ok". I will never stay at this hotel again and after preferring Red Roof Inn for many years, I don't believe I will stay at another one if the corporate office does not rectify this issue.
Location close to the airport
Noise of aircondition
The location
It was a outdoor room and hot. The carpet smells so bad.
Large room, desk, and close to airpirt and rental car returns.
Polite but not overly friendly staff, as a traveller from overseas it would have been nice for them ti volunteer a little conversation, information on the hotel or area.
Close to the airport, price
No breakfast, no snack machine, no nearby restaurants within walking distance. Airport shuttle stops after 11 PM. Bed sheets felt damp, clock wasn't set

Nuisance Alligator Public Service Announcement
Mobile Link
The Statewide Nuisance Alligator Program (SNAP) is administered by the FWC's Division of Hunting and Game Management. SNAP is one of five components of Florida's comprehensive Alligator Management Program. Its mission is to address complaints concerning alligators.
Persons with concerns about an alligator may call our toll-free Nuisance Alligator Hotline at 866-FWC-GATOR (866-392-4286). Generally, an alligator may be deemed a nuisance if it is at least four feet in length and the caller believes it poses a threat to people, pets or property.
SNAP uses contracted nuisance alligator trappers throughout the state to remove alligators from locations where they are unwanted or unwelcome. If a complaint meets the qualifying criteria, SNAP will issue a permit to a contracted nuisance alligator trapper authorizing the removal of the animal.
Complainants must be able to grant legal access to the property on which the alligator is located. SNAP does not permit the removal of nuisance alligators from private or publicly managed property without first obtaining permission from the property owner or management authority.
In 2012, SNAP received 16,874 nuisance alligator complaints resulting in the removal of 7,975 nuisance alligators.
Program News and Information
What is a nuisance alligator? Generally, an alligator may be considered a nuisance if it is at least four feet in length and is believed to pose a threat to people, pets or property.
Why aren't small alligators removed? Alligators less than 4 feet in length are not large enough to be dangerous unless handled. They eat fish, frogs and other small animals. Typically, they are not large enough to be a threat even to small pets. The mere presence of a small alligator is not cause for concern. Occasionally, alligators less than 4 feet in length are legitimate problems and must be addressed. If an alligator less than four feet in length is a concern, call the Nuisance Alligator Hotline at 866-FWC-GATOR (866-392-4286).
Read a Guide to Living with Alligators (brochure)
FWC Facts:The oystercatcher is one of the largest and heaviest of Florida's shorebirds. It is striking in appearance: dark brown, black and white, with a bright red bill.

This place was great! It's a small apartment with 4 bedrooms and one bathroom. There was only one other person there when I stayed. It's a little far from the sights, but its a quick 10 minute walk to the metro station. I really liked that the wifi worked well and it was very quiet to sleep.

Turn a box of shells and alfredo into a family-friendly weeknight meal in just 20 minutes.
Uniquely delicious, sweet-tart cookies for a homemade gift, cocktail party or cookie swap.
Here's how to make warming, satisfying soup with a few basic ingredients and plenty of options for substitutions. Customize your soup further by stirring in something especially flavorful just before serving, or topping with croutons or shredded cheese.
Combine two holiday pie favorites with this pumpkin pie baked in a pecan shell. The subtle nuttiness of the crust adds to the wonderful pumpkin flavor and it's made even better with a dollop of homemade cinnamon whipped cream.
Cooked millet is a great breakfast alternative to oatmeal or cream of wheat. Here it's infused with cinnamon and cardamom and served with dates and sweet mandarin oranges.
The combo of cherries and blueberries is one of the best we know for pie. Try it topped with your favorite vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt.
Merguez sausages originated in North Africa and are typically made of lamb or beef and spiced with chiles that give the sausage its notable red color.
Mango lends a sweet note to this colorful quinoa salad with a variety of flavors and textures. It's equally delicious served warm or chilled.
Fresh summer cantaloupe and honeydew melons put a delightful spin on a classic fruit salad in this version that is deliciously creamy without cream!
For a pleasingly offbeat side dish or snack, try this fresh and healthy variation of that old favorite, french fries. Sweet potatoes, turnips and celery root work well in this recipe, too.
You'll be surprised how easy and tasty this kale preparation is. Andrea from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, sent us this recipe with a note: "It's the only recipe I've found where the kale is not masked by other flavors or cooking methods, and it's crunchy.
Seedless raspberry jam is the unexpected ingredient in the rich pan sauce that accompanies this pork dish. If your rye bread happens to be stale, don't worry. When it's a bit dry, it will soak up more juices from the pork.
Smooth cashew butter blended with softened cream cheese and spiced with a bit of cinnamon and nutmeg makes a great dip for fresh fruit. Additional flavors such as vanilla, honey or other favorite spices can be added easily.
This vibrantly colored stir-fry features shrimp with snow peas, sugar snap peas and green peas. The stir-frying goes quickly, so be sure to measure all of the ingredients before you start cooking. Serve with brown or white rice.
For those of us who can never decide which pie we like best, this pie is the best of both worlds. With apple pie on the bottom and pumpkin pie on top, everyone wins! Serve with scoops of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
Inspired by the classic French stew, Cassoulet, we've created this shortcut version with a few substitutions, such as using canned beans instead of dried. Serve with a garlicky green salad to balance the rich flavors.

Posted: 3:48 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 27, 2012
By Lauren Pack
Butler County Commissioners approved the 2013 general fund budget of $79.3 million Thursday during their last meeting of the year.
That budget is projected to be a balanced one for the first time in years after department heads and elected officials made cuts to hold down expenditures and vacancies went unfilled.
The county is also poised to end 2012 in the black, but the final tally will not be known until the books are closed out next week.
Also approved at Thursday's meeting was the county's 2013 non-general fund budget of $273 million.
Longtime Commissioner Charles "Chuck" Furmon attended his last meeting after serving on the board for 16 years.
Ohio 53rd District Rep. Tim Derickson (R-Hanover Twp.) presented Furmon with a commendation for his "years of loyalty and outstanding service to Butler County."
Commission President Don Dixon and Commissioner Cindy Carpenter also expressed their appreciation for Furmon's work.
"It has been a pleasure working with him," Dixon said.
Commissioner-elect TC Rogers, who defeated Furmon in the primary and was elected in the November election, also thanked him for his service.
"Only time will tell whether the voters made the right decision in our election," Rogers said.
Furmon was appreciative of the praise and best wishes, but said, "I didn't want a lot of fanfare. I just want to slide out."
Furmon, who served as a Hamilton police officer and mayor of Hamilton, said he is looking forward to a "true retirement."

Transforming Business with Workflow
Every company has a workflow. The question is, how smoothly does your workflow flow? Forrest Leighton, director of product marketing for Canon U.S.A, outlines some clear definitions for the complex, nebulous, and seemingly limitless subject of workflow...
Much has been said on the topic of workflow over the years, and even more on the promises made by technology providers claiming to help companies better manage it. But, before another solution hits the market, I'd like to offer some guidance as to what workflow is, while addressing the following:
• How can you drive costs out of your operation, introduce new levels of automation, and reduce redundant tasks with workflow?
• How can you integrate existing/new products into your existing workflow?
What is Workflow?
At the risk of oversimplifying, workflow is a series of tasks designed to complete a function. Workflows vary from the simple—comprising one party or device—to the complicated, which can involve multiple steps and numerous personnel or pieces of equipment. Depending on the environment, other critical factors in managing workflow include: information and documents that are mandated by government compliance, regulatory issues, research and development, legal processes, and audit systems issues. This shows us why managing workflow is a critical component of successful businesses ranging from sole proprietorships to diversified, global enterprises.
For the digital imaging industry and today's print service providers specifically, we typically think of workflow in broad terms as any tool that facilitates file management through the print production process with greater efficiency, lower cost, better device/service integration, and value-added services. For example, some tasks that are performed within a workflow may include file pre-flighting, imposition, proofing, and output. Existing software tools allow the automation of workflow so that tasks can be performed on files, automatically ensuring that similar files are processed in the same way, time-after-time, without user intervention.
When used appropriately, workflow is more than just a buzzword, offering providers significant business implications and productivity gains. For small print shops and quick printers just starting out, to diversified print operators expanding their range of services, approaching and managing workflow can become easier with a few key understandings of trends, tools, and guiding principles.
Who Needs Workflow?
According to InfoTrends' Production Software Investment Outlook 2010, almost 60% of establishments polled have already adopted some form of workflow management system. Their findings suggest that the adoption rate of these tools is highest in mid-sized and larger establishments, while investment by smaller firms has remained low. While that may currently be the case, smaller companies will likely find that in today's digital printing environment, workflow systems are crucial to keeping efficiency up and maintaining consistent quality.
As the dynamics of our industry continue to change, with Web-to-print applications increasing and run lengths declining, workflow is an important factor in generating greater productivity and improved profitability across a broad spectrum of business models. As many companies have made significant capital investments over the years in their equipment—and are certainly not looking to start over—it is essential that they adopt a workflow system with the flexibility to fit their existing infrastructure.
What's in It for Me?
As workflow encompasses a range of tools that allow print service providers better, more sophisticated services to help them improve their businesses, the benefits of a workflow management system can be found in both time and monetary savings. For example, the pre-flight tool, mentioned above, can be used to triage digital files coming into a print shop by running "good" files through the complete workflow and outputting them as productively as possible. The same pre-flight tool can also be set-up to catch "bad" files that require further evaluation and treatment before they can be sent to output.

"As a senior lawyer in a high profile firm, becoming pregnant was somewhat of a novelty to my colleagues. The reassurance that my sessions with my coach gave me has been absolutely invaluable. I was ready to resign and give up on the many years of studying and training but, using her strategies, I am now better equipped to deal with the pressures of combining parenthood with my career as a lawyer. She both soothed and smoothed my return to work and I now look forward with greater confidence to the path ahead."

"Part of what makes jazz unique is the interplay between the composed and the improvised, an interplay compellingly explored in Dietrich Eichmann and Jeff Arnal's new CD, The Temperature Dropped Again. Pianist Eichmann studied with Alexander von Schlippenbach in the early '80s and was initially a free jazz improviser, but then for twelve years he focused on composing. Recently he returned to improvisation, with a wealth of compositional acumen at his disposal. Arnal, a drummer and percussionist, also has a strong composing background as well as a dedication to improvised music, which includes frequent duets with spontaneous saxophone master Charles Gayle.
The recording is composed of two suites, 'The Temperature Dropped Again' and 'Four French Apparitions,' as well as '...durch offene Grenzen,' an impressive sixteen-minute exercise in energy. All the songs are improvisations determined by compositions, and within this framework Eichmann and Arnal cover a great deal of territory. Their intimacy with their instruments allows them to bring forth an array of fresh, unpredictable sounds; the music is alternately dissonant, meditative, industrial, lilting, explosive, and stark. In the first suite, 'Pendulum' is a particularly lovely piece, simultaneously lyrical and free, and 'Half Pint' works boldly with silence. The highlight is 'Four French Apparitions'; the four songs shimmer with delicacy and beauty as Eichmann's rapidly cascading high notes create an otherworldly sparkle of sound."-Florence Wetzel, All About Jazz

I figured the law of gravity might bring us down after that 13-1 week, and was unfortunately right. Damn you, Isaac Newton! I can abide the 9-4-1 mark straight up, but not the 6-8 against the point spread. Nailed another Upset of the Week with Saints over Falcons (Aawwk!) but had too many misfires, and that included a blindside hit on the Dolphins home-field disappearing act against the Titans. Didnt see that one coming those five words a lament too descriptive of our season thus far against the betting number. [Thursday pick: Bills (-1) over Dolphins, 24-20].

Close call on which game would grand-marshal the Week 11 parade. Game of the Week committee grappled mostly with this one and Bears-Niners, but since both games are affected by quarterback issues, we went with the division grudge match and one of the best rivalries in the NFL. Shoulder and rib issues will shelve Ben Roethlisberger and foist veteran Byron Leftwich into his first start since 2009. This is one of three games this week affected by new QB injuries, and this one must fill a Steelers fan with dread considering Pitt needed overtime with Leftwich steering just to survive the lowly Chiefs last week. And Crows have won past two at the Ketchup Bottle even when Ben was pitching. Nevertheless! Im still feeling a prime-time upset maybe by hunch more than logic, Id admit. Steelers are on a nice roll, are 4-0 at home, and will rise up with a big defensive effort.

The thing is, Washington isnt in much better shape, with three consecutive Ls, a 1-3 home record and a near-putrid pass defense. Birds need a spark, and it says here Foles could be it.

Dog honors go to the worst matchup of the week, and normally we target two bad teams jousting, but in this case we opt for sheer lopsidedness. The very bad Jaguars Baguars to their sack-over-head fans and the very good Texans present an extreme talent contrast seldom witnessed. Houston beat Jax 27-7 in September and will dominate again, although I think Ill accept the offer of those two-TD-plus dog points, thanks. Texans are coming off that big, emotional showdown win at Chicago, face a natural letdown and will be on autopilot in this one.

Angelina Jolie is pictured June 27th in costume on the set of her new movie Maleficent in Buckinghamshire, UK. Jolie plays the "evil witch" Maleficent in the film which takes a new twist on the classic Sleeping Beauty tale. Brad Pitt's baby mama sat down with Entertainment Weekly for an interview a couple of weeks ago. From EW.com:
"In this version, Sleeping Beauty is the nemesis instead of the good guy?
It's not anti-princess, but it's the first time they're looking at this epic woman.
Is it sympathetic to her, or is she a straight-up villain?
It's both. I hope in the end you see a woman who is capable of being many things, and just because she protects herself and is aggressive, it doesn't mean she can't have other [warmer] qualities. You have to figure out the puzzle of what she is."
PICTURES: Check out more on the Angelina Jolie page
I never thought they would flip the script on Sleeping Beauty. I always assumed Princess Aurora was pretty safe from being turned into the villain. Those horns are pretty menacing, how can you look at that image and not immediately see "bad guy"? I guess we will have to wait to find out how they can make her a little more sympathetic. We'll be waiting for a long time on this one, as Disney have set the release date for March 14th, 2014.

Why Did Jewish Communities Take to Chinese Food?
The custom of Jewish families dining out at Chinese restaurants, especially on Christmas Day, has long been a joking matter. "According to the Jewish calendar, the year is 5749," one quip goes. "According to the Chinese calendar, the year is 4687. That means for 1,062 years, the Jews went without Chinese food." Even Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan made light of the tradition during her Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. Granted, Chinese restaurants are typically among the few businesses open on December 25th, but it turns out that there are historical and sociological reasons why these two cultures have paired so well.
In a 1992 study, sociologists Gaye Tuchman and Harry G. Levine focused their attentions on New York City, where there are substantial Jewish and Chinese immigrant populations. No matter how different the cultures may be, they both enjoy similar foods: lots of chicken dishes, tea and slightly overcooked vegetables. For Jewish newcomers, Chinese cooking offered a new twist on familiar tastes. Then there's the matter of how food is handled, a matter of great importance to observant Jews. Chinese food can be prepared so that it abides by kosher law, and it avoids the taboo mixing of meat and milk, a combination commonly found in other ethnic cuisines. In one of their more tongue-in-cheek arguments, Tuchman and Levine wrote that because forbidden foods like pork and shellfish are chopped and minced beyond recognition in egg rolls and other dishes, less-observant Jews can take an "ignorance is bliss" philosophy and pretend those things aren't even in the dish.
Chinese restaurants were also safe havens, the sociologists observed. Jews living predominantly Christian parts of the city might have to contend with the longstanding tensions between those groups. Furthermore, an Italian restaurant, which might bear religious imagery ranging from crucifixes to portraits of the Virgin Mary, could make for an uncomfortable dining experience. A Chinese eatery was more likely to have secular decor.
There was also the sense among some Jewish participants in the study that Chinese dining, with exotic interiors and the strange-sounding menu items, was a delightfully non-Jewish experience. Furthermore, like visiting museums and attending the theater, Chinese restaurants were seen as a means of broadening one's cultural horizons. "I felt about Chinese restaurants the same way I did about the Metropolitan Museum of Art," one of the study's unnamed interview subjects remarked. "They were the two most strange and fascinating places my parents took me to, and I loved them both."
For a fuller explanation on how this dining trend came about, you can read Tuchman and Levine's study online [PDF]. And if you have memories of a Chinese restaurant experience, share them in the comments section below.

This is very interesting. I've always wondered why Jews dine on Chinese restaurants during Christmas but I've never gave it much thought.
That makes so much sense on the Kosher aspect!! I had my own hypotheses on the Chinese on Christmas thing, but this article covers it all.
I could think of a few other factors which might contribute to that affinity.
1) The typical Chinese restaurant dining style is family-oriented. Sharing a number of dishes among all the diners at a table is standard. When indulging in an unfamiliar cuisine, the ability to share it (without fuss or raised eyebrows) makes it into a more entertaining and bonding experience.
2) All non-Chinese people are foreigners in a Chinese restaurant, and are treated with approximately the same respect as each other. That offers a degree of equality which hasn't always been available to Jews in this society, and a degree of comfort that comes along with that treatment. Moreover, see (3).
3) Increased familiarity with the cuisine brings increased respect (or at least comfort, knowing they'll be able to please the customers) from the proprietors, creating a virtuous cycle that keeps happy customers coming back.
So, I think a big part of what makes Jews and Chinese restaurants into a couple is hospitality. As for the "overcooked vegetables," I would dispute that. The vegetables in Chinese cooking, even Chinese-American style cooking, are steamed or sauteed, not boiled into submission. That Jews like and eat fresh vegetables (however cooked) and aromatic herbs is not in dispute.
My thought was always that Chinese restaurants were simply the only restaurants open on Christmas day.
Yes, all well and good, but do the Chinese eat at Jewish restaurants at Tet?
My wife and I are Baptist and had Chinese for lunch today!
I remember dining with my family — sibs, cousins, parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents — at a Chinese restaurant in Queens NY many years ago. The older-style Chinese menu, with its "one from Column A, two from Column B" choices, provided another opportunity for arguments, which must have been an attraction for my relatives.
I also remember my cousins ordering pistachio ice cream for dessert, not because they liked that flavor, but because the enjoyed hearing the waiter trying to say "pistachio".
There is another reason. There is almost no milk used in the preparation of most of Chinese cuisine, no matter from what province.
My parents always took my family to Chinese restaurants to celebrate birthdays. It was food my mother never cooked at home and that was more appealing and exotic to her than typical "American" fare.
I think chew (#8) is on to something. I know many Jews who are more comfortable eating shellfish or bacon than mixing dairy and meat.
I think it was the Chinese tea and fortune cookies that were the main attraction.
For additional information on this topic, read this touching, humorous and sometimes sad book:
The Fortune Cookie Chronicles by Jennifer 8 Lee. There is a chapter devoted to Jews and Chinese food but the entire book and the history of Chinese food in America is fascinating.
http://www.fortunecookiechronicles.com/ -
We never ate at Chinese restaurants on Christmas or other times–they weren't kosher. But it was a nice day because most of us had the day off and unlike other Jewish holidays we could travel to visit each other. We ate standard Jewish American kosher food.
And now there are kosher Chinese restaurants which I occasionally patronize; actually I prefer Mediterranean food.And now just about any cuisine has its kosher counterparts–great.
My mom just told me that we went to Chinese Restaurants when it rained- not certain why- but that was the plan-I also remember eating tomato egg drop soup- can't find it any longer- and for those from LI- August Moon in Mahasset was the place to go in the 60′s & 70′s!
I had an aunt from NY who found herself living in Chicago. Chinese food was her favorite, so for her, it went beyond Christmas Day! I learned to like it for her sake. Now….love it! I heard about the whole deeper connection from my daughter who took a "Food and Rabbinics" class in college. Worth the tuition!
I wonder if this preference for Chinese cuisine has extended to other Asian restaurants and their cuisines.
Because my daughter and her children are Cambodian, and I am Jewish, I find myself eating in a variety of SE Asian restaurants between Olympia and Seattle, WA: Thai, Vietnamese, Cambodian – or a mix of the three.
Many Anglo Jews find the Chinese-American restaurant to be more American than Chinese these days, and have switched to other Asian cuisines – even South Indian (but not Filipino, for some reason): here in Lacey, WA, an Indian and a Filipino restaurant operate side-by-side quite profitably.
Bob Godwin,
Lacey, WA -
"A Chinese eatery was more likely to have secular decor." – not sure if I'd use the term "secular". Buddhist and Taoist imagery was probably just so exotic that most non-Asians just saw it as more kitschy than as religious.
Most people are over thinking this. The reason that Chinese food on Christmas for Jews became a tradition has everything to do with "blue laws" and very little to do with culture and dietary laws. Folks over 50 can remember a time when on Sundays and major Christian holidays ALL businesses were closed except for delicatessens and Chinese restaurants. On Christmas, the larger society ground to a halt. The kids were off of school and the majority Christian culture was focusing all their attention on hearth and home and church. What to do? The movie theaters were empty but open. So Mom, Dad, and the kids went out to catch a show and pass some time. The only places that were open and serving food were Chinese restaurants. These "unchristmasy" entertainment options were so consistently limited in most large towns and cities prior to 1970 that it became a custom that was anticipated with a bit of pleasure. A time to get together with fellow non-Christians and have a pleasantly ironic "outsiders unholiday". This article is vastly overthinking this. Did the guy who wrote this article even ask any Jews over 50 about this? I kind of doubt it.
Lisa Shaffmaster hit the nail on the head; she should become a carpenter for her accuracy.
Me? At 72, I believe that qualifies me as being over 50, I lived in Connecticut. It was so blue that it went for the Democrats last year .
The blue laws to which she refers to is potentially the real reasons, but it does not explain states that were sans blue laws.
My brother and I looked forward to Christmas because we knew we could have some of our favorite foods…Chinese. Even today, my taste for Asian cuisine is only increasing with some of the foods that are now coming to the fore. Sushi, and other marvelously tasty foods from the Asian countries delight my taste buds.
Keep in mind that the three major monotheistic religions in the world are Eastern: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Israel is in Asia, not Europe.
Methinks that Lisa missed one thing…many Chinese dishes taste like Jewish food. Won Ton soup anyone?
"Yes, all well and good, but do the Chinese eat at Jewish restaurants at Tet?"
Tet is a VIETNAMESE holiday.
Here's the reason why. Sweet and Sour chicken!
My mother (born 1913)who lived in Chicago with her parents, told me about being sent up an alley to get chop suey. My grandmother, who was an immigrant from Hungary, did not keep a kosher house.
Clearly the eating of Chinese food by Jews has a long and enigmatic history. It would be interesting to focus on when Chinese food became available in Jewish neighborhoods and how that impacted eating habits.
Has anyone seen the GEICO commercial that featured a "scientist" holding a test tube while the voice-over told us that they (GEICO) sent him out to get data on why people were switching to GEICO? Asked to give his results, the "scientist" said "Maybe they just like to save money."
Maybe Scott Berkowitz and Top Secret have the answer – Jews like Chinese food for the same reason everyone else does – it just tastes good! -
In the section of Brooklyn that I grew up in, you knew if you were either in a Jewish neighborhood or Italian neighborhood by the ratio of Chinese restaurants or pizzerias to the surrounding blocks, more Chinese restaurants & take-outs, meant you were in a predominantly Jewish area, more pizzerias, it was Italian. We ordered in Chinese food a lot in those days, so it was always a treat to eat out in one of our favorites, and there were several to choose among. In fact, those restaurants were so good, that Mayor Beame, would come in from Manhattan, to eat at his favorite, Richard Yee's on Avenue U & skip Chinatown entirely. As a Brooklyn College student with limited funds, my friends & I would walk off campus to the local Chinese restaurant for their lunch menu specials. For just a couple dollars, we could get a full meal, including soup, rice, egg roll & unlimited tea.
I think Jonathan Ames put it best: "I never understood the stereotype about Jews liking Chinese food. I wasn't aware there was a kind of food we *don't* like."
When I read the title of this article, I was sure there would be some mention of the connection with Shanghai as the port of last resort for many Jews fleeing Nazi terror. When noone else would take them in, Shanghai set up a section of town for Jews to reside in, and I supposed that many who were thus spared would have picked up a taste for Chinese food there, prior to immigrating to the West.

The Pakistani teen blogger simply sought to get an education. But she became a symbol of defiance against militants, empowering young women worldwide.
The story of Malala Yousufzai, 15, an outspoken critic of the Taliban, is full of contradictions.
Tragic, yet triumphant.
Unafraid, yet battling one of the world's most feared terror groups.
An old soul, yet just a kid.
For years, the young activist has been at odds with the Taliban over her education crusade. She has openly defied the group's teachings on educating girls and encouraged her peers to do the same.
In an attempt to silence her, militants stormed her school van in October, barked out her name and put a bullet in her head.
But the attack only amplified her voice and rallied a world of supporters to her side.
CNN.com readers voted her as the second-most intriguing person of 2012, days after she was short-listed for Time's Person of the Year. U.S. President Barack Obama came first in both lists.
Constant threats
Malala's global recognition has come with a price.
While most girls her age relish their teen years, she is undergoing grueling treatment in Britain after the shooting.
She lives under constant threats for going to school in the conservative Swat Valley region in northwest Pakistan, where women are repressed under the militants' strict interpretation of Islam.
Despite the dangers, Malala blogged ferociously about her dream of learning without fear. She used television interviews, documentaries and took to the streets to challenge the iron hand on women.
She accused the Taliban of thriving on ignorance.
"Where in the Quran does it say that girls should not be educated?" she asked last year. "I have the right to play. I have the right to sing. I have the right to go to market. I have the right to speak up."
Her role as an activist led to the attack on the van carrying her and other girls home from school, two of whom were also hurt, but not as severely.
The Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack.
"We do not tolerate people like Malala speaking against us," a Taliban spokesman later said.

The 400-room Harmon Hotel & Spa was originally supposed to also include 200 residential units but that project was canceled. It was trimmed into a 27-story hotel that was supposed to open this year. The Harmon was designed by the firm of English architect Lord Norman Foster.
No decision on the hotel's fate will be made soon. MGM will hire consultants to evaluate the problems with the building and present possible solutions. Those findings will be presented to the court in October 2011 and no decision is likely to occur before the court makes a ruling, expected sometime in 2012.

Roberto Mancini has promised to make changes to his team as Manchester City look to get their season back on track in The FA Cup next weekend.
The Sky Blues boss was angry with his players following Saturday's Premier League defeat at Southampton, which saw them slip 12 points behind rivals Manchester United at the top of the table.
And Mancini now sees The Cup as a competition in which they can succeed as they prepare to host Leeds United in the Fifth Round on Sunday but insists they must be ready for the challenge.
He said: "I only want players who are ready for the fight in the last 12 games.
"I am very angry with a lot of my players, and very disappointed at the performance, because it is impossible to play the way we did.
"I am sure we will change that, because I will change players next week."
The Italian knows it won't be easy though, with Leeds arriving from Yorkshire hoping to spring another Cup upset after their victory over Spurs in the last round.
Neil Warnock's Championship outfit will be backed by a large following from Elland Road and will have Mancini's Premier League champions firmly in their sights.
He added: "Every team that plays against us treats it like a Champions League final, but we should know this, it is normal.
"We now have 12 games left, we need to do well in the Premier League and we have The FA Cup.
"There are games left and we can do better. We need to finish the season the way we did last year."

Food for Life: Kickstart Your Health Cooking Course Starts February 26
Pen Bay Healthcare's Picker Family Resource Center will host a series of healthy cooking classes taught by chef, health coach and certified Food For Life instructor MiMi McGee. Based on Dr. Neal D. Barnard's latest book, 21-Day Weight Loss Kickstart: Boost Metabolism, Lower Cholesterol, and Dramatically Improve Your Health. This interactive course teaches participants about foods to promote weight loss, improve energy and sleep, relieve pain and prevent or reverse diabetes.
Classes begin on Tuesday, February 26 and meet every Tuesday for five weeks from 5:30–7:30 p.m. at the Picker Family Resource Center. The cost is $85 and includes samples, recipes, shopping, dining out tips and more!
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), a national nonprofit organization that promotes preventive medicine, particularly good nutrition, and supports higher standards in research, is offering this cooking course designed to help local residents lose weight and improve their health through proper diet and nutrition.
"Losing weight has never been easier," says Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., the director of nutrition education for PCRM. "Participants can expect to lose a pound a week without counting calories. Many experience significant health benefits, including lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, elimination of chronic pain, and increased energy."
The Rx for weight loss and health? It's a low-fat vegetarian diet. Load up on fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, Levin says. "They're naturally low in fat, chock-full of fiber, and filled with immune-boosting antioxidants and phytochemicals. These foods will naturally tame your appetite and boost metabolism."
The challenge, Levin acknowledges, is not only to teach people which foods are good for them, but also to show them how to make the foods taste good. Each class centers on important nutrition topics as local chef/cooking instructor MiMi McGeeguides students through the preparation of tasty and easy-to-prepare recipes.
For more information about Food for Life: Kickstart Your Health Cooking Classes, visit www.FoodforLifeClasses.org.
Food for Life is a collaborative effort of physicians, researchers, and nutritionists who have joined together to educate the public about the benefits of a healthful diet for weight management and disease prevention. Based in Washington, D.C., Food for Life is a program of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
The Picker Family Resource Center is located between the Women's Health Center and Urology Building on the Pen Bay Medical Center campus, 3 Glen Cove Drive, off Route 1 in Rockport. Use the parking lot and door nearest the Urology side of the building. Call 596-8950 for directions if needed.
The Picker Center promotes building community by providing health resources and support that serve the needs of women and their families throughout their lives. The center's hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. Online at www.penbayhealthcare.org/pickercenter.

It's sad, 12 more gone, but SEPTICTANKER (Dave 'Smitty' Smith) survived another week. With four right picks this past weekend, it helped SCOTT I (Ittersagen), MR COHIBA (Steve Matson) and the BG COPS (our boys in green) climb the pigskin ladder.
On Sunday at 3 p.m. the Baltimore Ravens (13-4) will go to New England (14-3) and play the Patriots.
Now with the Ravens good offense going against the Pat's weaker defense the advantage goes to the Ravens.
But Tom and company has a finely-tuned offense that will be going up against Ray Lewis and his buddies on defense, and the advantage goes to the Patriots. The game could go either way. Should be fun.
Later at 6:30 p.m. The red hot New York Giants (11-7) head to San Francisco to play the surprising 49ers (14-3).
With the blossoming Giants and Eli at the controls, facing the 49ers defense will has some great match-ups in the secondary, advantage 49ers.
Now the 49ers with Alex Smith on fire from last weekend will go up aganist the fast Giants defense, the advantage goes to the Giants.
With both games there is no clear winner until late Sunday night.
This weeks games are worth 3 points each and can make a difference if you stay, go or get voted off the island.

Strategy critics say a lot of the president's green energy money was a waste of your tax dollars correspondent Shannon Breen tells us tonight.
There seems to be a lot of that going around lately.
That's just a sign of poor leadership.
Republican senator doctor Tom Coburn of Oklahoma says he's annual -- -- Washington politicians haven't learned to cut back.
-- American families have become all too familiar with doing just that.
And the national debt sky rockets taxpayer dollars are being spent on projects like a 325000.
Dollar grant to build -- robo squirrel.
A robotic -- designed to test the interaction between a live rattlesnake -- a robot squirrel.
And -- NASA has no plans or budget for manned space flight to Mars.
The agency spent nearly a million dollars developing the Mars -- an effort to come up with a variety of foods that humans could eat if they were on Mars.
And then there's -- nearly 700000.
Dollar grant for development in the musical about global warming when it opened in Kansas city of reviewers said he learned nothing new about the topic.
That the songs sounded like quote Wikipedia entries set to music.
And that the performance included flying monkey -- we're proud.
That it's in Kansas City and really -- -- -- and says there is no way to justify the expenditures.
The money that your spending your -- -- in against your children's future.
You it's all outrageous.
And the fact is is it's not hard to solve it we have recalcitrant and career politicians who refuse to do their job.
Along with the questionable spending this year's report also outlines numerous instances of fraud and abuse.
In Florida an exotic dancer who took in more than 85000.
Dollars in tips.
Also collected nearly a thousand dollars a month in food stamps -- spending 9000 dollars on cosmetic enhancements.

Average every day Americans who -- -- -- make tough decisions.

What are the D.H.Sc. students saying?
D.H.Sc. Program
- "I continue to be amazed at how wonderful this doctorate program at A.T. Still University is. I feel humbled to have such highly achieved and prominent professors, to be a participant amongst bright students from all walks of life, and to have such a unique opportunity at this (late) stage in my life."
- "I believe the school has been able to adeptly fuse theories of osteopathy, outcomes research, compassion for patients/clients, and passion for learning into a strong doctoral program that appears to be unique compared with other doctoral programs I investigated prior to enrolling at A.T. Still University."
- "At ATSU, the students are supported tremendously throughout the program. The instructors say and demonstrate that they care, moreover the University provides support that is equivalent to the support a student would get from a residential program."
- "As other schools evaluate the success of A.T. Still University, I believe they will be in awe of the relationship between faculty and student. This relationship in my experience has not been the case in most distance learning programs and is not typical in the traditional learning environment."
- "The experience of having the opportunity to have so many wonderful and diverse classmates is priceless. The diversity provides uniqueness in education and knowledge that crosses academic, clinical, and professional backgrounds. The sharing of experiences via discussion boards and creating friendships is one of the greatest assets of the program. Sharing of ideas and experiences as well as opinions is greatly welcomed. The coursework and facilitation by faculty is immensely rewarding."
- "The Doctorate of Health Sciences (D.H.Sc.) program offered at A.T. Still University demonstrates the commitment to objective research and original thought in the area of interdisciplinary health science."
- "The D.H.Sc. program is not just training health care scholars, but it is helping to build a dynamic team of health care professionals that will help in advancing global health."
- "I have found the Doctor of Health Sciences program to be both intellectually challenging and thoroughly satisfying. I highly recommend this program for those practitioners who want to further pursue their academic goals."
Winter Institute
- "The entire week fostered a feeling of community among students and instructors and provided a way to learn more about the school and discuss the D.H.Sc. program in general."
- "While at the institute, I was totally engaged in educational bliss and discovery. It was one of the most rewarding and fulfilling moments in my educational experiences."
- "I can honestly attest that the Winter Institute served as a positive life changing experience. The exploration, the camaraderie and the knowledge gained help put my efforts in perspective and only validated my commitment to health care and to those I serve. It also allowed me to better understand how to develop health care initiatives that positively impact groups of people that share common values and norms."
- "Two prevailing focal points of the Winter Institute were the diversity of the students enrolled in the program and the ability of the faculty and staff to create an engaging and effective online learning experience."
- "The energy and excitement of physically being part of a group of professional colleagues coming together to discuss topics, theories and strategies they are passionate about to advance and improve healthcare today, empowered and re-energized me in a way I did not think possible."

Description of Research Expertise
Our laboratory studies the mammalian circadian clock using genomic and computational tools. We use these tools to discover new clock genes, learn how the clock keeps time, and how it coordinates rhythms in physiology and behavior. This clock research drives development of genomic and computational methods that we apply to other areas of biology. Finally, we recognize biological complexity and conduct this research at the network, rather than single gene, level.

Baton Rouge Powerball Ticket Wins $85.7 Million
One ticket purchased in Baton Rouge won the $85.7 million Powerball jackpot Saturday night, the second-largest single amount won in Louisiana Lottery history.
This latest winning ticket brings the total number of Powerball jackpot winning tickets sold in Louisiana to 14 since the Lottery joined the multistate game in 1995. The last time a Powerball jackpot-winning ticket was sold in Baton Rouge was February 2005.
The winning ticket was sold at Circle K #1905, 9110 Airline Hwy. in Baton Rouge. The store will receive a one-time bonus of $25,000 or 1 percent of Louisiana's contribution to the jackpot's funding, whichever is greater, for selling the winning ticket.
"We are obviously eager to welcome the Louisiana Lottery's latest millionaire when he or she claims the prize at our Baton Rouge headquarters," said Lottery President Rose Hudson. "In the meantime, however, we recommend that the winner treat the ticket as cash and sign the back of it for security purposes. It is also a good idea for all winners of substantial prizes, like this one, to seek professional financial advice prior to claiming their prize."
The holder of Saturday's jackpot-winning ticket has 180 days after the date of the drawing in which to claim the $85.7 million prize, which is subject to federal and state withholding taxes.
The largest Powerball jackpot won in Louisiana was a $97 million prize claimed by Carl Hunter of Metairie from a drawing in January 2008. The Powerball jackpot was last won in Louisiana on May 31, 2008, by Emelia Delgado of Kenner.
The winning numbers for the July 31 drawing were 1-16-17-41-57 and the Powerball was 15.
"Saturday was a lucky night for Louisiana Lottery players," added Hudson. "In addition to the Powerball jackpot prize, the $210,000 Easy 5 jackpot was hit in Metairie."
According to the Lottery, the advertised Powerball jackpot represents an estimate of the annuity prize amount, which is paid in 30 graduated installments that increase by 4 percent each year.
The first installment is paid at the time the prize is claimed. Winners also have the option to take a one-time lump sum payment equal to the cash value of the jackpot prize pool, which is $45,770,486 for the July 31 drawing. The winner has up to 60 days after claiming the prize to decide on the prize payment option.
The Lottery encourages responsible play and urges anyone or friends of anyone with a gambling problem to call toll free 1-877-770-7867 for help.
