"Jewish pupils harassed in Beringen"
5 December 2006
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "BRUSSELS - The police of Beringen in Limbourg (Limburg) arrested 6 minors and 4 adults at the weekend. The 10 individuals had thrown stones at a group of Hasidic Jewish pupils aged 13 to 15. Belgium's centre against racism has pressed charges.
The Jewish pupils were on a end-of-the-week excursion at the Beringen mines. Following their tradition they were dressed in black, wore hats and had long sideburns.
A fight broke out with local residents of foreign origins as soon as the pupils reached the youth hostel. The 10 locals apparently started the fight and threw stones at the pupils.
No major injuries are recorded but four windows were broken during the fight and anti-Semitic insults were heard."

Reports: E. Coli Cases in Montgomery, Camden Counties
By T.J. Alexander - Web Producer, 6abc.com
December 5, 2006 - PA and NJ State Health Officials are now saying cases of E. coli have surfaced in Montgomery Coutny, PA and Camden County, NJ.
The infected in NJ is said to be an 11-year-old girl from Camden who was exposed to the bacteria at the Cherry Hill Mall on November 22nd and became ill on Thanksgiving. She was treated at an area hospital and released.
The 9 Taco Bells located in Montgomery County have been voluntarily closed as a precautionary measure.
Pa. Officials Investigating 4 Cases Of E. Coli At Least 40 Sickened In New Jersey
I have never eaten at a Taco Bell, nor do I ever intend to do so.
Thanks for the ping anyway.
Nope...for me maybe about 15 years ago while in college....but none since then. Not a fan of any fast food places. My husband designs restaurants (not the fast food ones)...Oh Vay...Oh My...the stories I could tell! Needless to say we are very picky about where we dine...still none better than our own kitchen. From what I have heard..and this was years ago..and I don't need anyone to try to dispute this...it came from a food distributor....the grade of meat served at these taco places is about Grade D...or not much better than Alpo.
Hmm...
I wonder what's causing this -- bad bathroom habits, undercooked meats (which most people could taste I would believe), certain veggies, or a combination of all above?
Thanks for the update all4one.
Meat you wouldn't feed to your dog!
I agree, eating at home is best, where you, like my wife, can enforce rigid sanitation habits. ;)
Aaaaccckkk...I see enough strangers out and about who don't wash their hands when they should...so food handlers if not properly educated on the matter could really cause problems with any number of icky bacteria...nope can't even think about it this late in the evening.
Yep, ickky subject...eating at home is the ticket.
Yep...I think my children will need counseling someday with the amount of hand washing we do on a daily basis! Always on returning home after being out...wet wipes in the car...especially during cold / flu season. If I can help it I never touch door handles in public places...I would rather fall down an escalator than touch that handle...I use paper towels when filling my gas tank. A little extreme...but we are thankfully never sick.
We have a large garden in the summer so I miss the fresh home grown veggies now...but still some in the freezer that will last another two months.

California sales executive sentenced for violating export ban on products to Iran
CHICAGO — A sales director for a Los Angeles area manufacturing company was sentenced last week for attempting to illegally send a banned product to Iran following an investigation by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Juan Sevilla, 55, of Gardena, Calif., was sentenced Nov. 30 by U.S. District Judge John W. Darrah to six months home confinement with electronic monitoring, five years probation, a $10,000 fine, and 100 hours of community service. Sevilla had pleaded guilty Sept. 14 to one count of violating Iranian Transaction Regulations under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
Sevilla was previously director of international sales for United Calibration Corp. of Huntington Beach, Calif., which manufactures universal testing systems and related software technologies. Sevilla was first charged in February 2004 when he was arrested on a criminal complaint.
According to the plea agreement, between Oct. 27, 2003, and Feb. 19, 2004, Sevilla attempted to export a United Computer Inclusive Hydraulic Floor Model Testing Machine from California through Chicago, to Iran, in violation of the U.S. export embargo to that country. The machine being exported tests the strength or mechanical properties of various metals and is on the Nuclear Supplier’s Group “Watch List” as a commodity that “can make a material contribution to nuclear activities of concern.” Neither Sevilla nor United Calibration had government authorization to export the product to Iran.
The case against Sevilla began in 2003 after ICE agents — investigating a separate case — searched the e-mail accounts belonging to an Iranian national. These accounts identified Sevilla as a person in California illegally doing business with Iran. ICE agents in Chicago subsequently held undercover negotiations via e-mail, fax, telephone, and in-person with Sevilla regarding the purchase of the testing machine for export to Iran.
“Exporting sensitive technology is controlled for good reason,” said Elissa A. Brown, special agent in charge of the ICE Office of Investigations in Chicago. “Keeping sensitive U.S. technology and software from falling into the wrong hands is a high priority for ICE and the Department of Homeland Security.”
The U.S. Commerce Department Bureau of Industry and Security also assisted in the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorney Daniel Collins, Northern District of Illinois, successfully prosecuted this case.
President Clinton signed Executive Orders in 1995 prohibiting any new investments in, or unauthorized exports to Iran by a U.S. person. These Orders have been continuously renewed, most recently by President Bush; the embargo is in effect through March 2007.

I'm watching "The Flight That Fought Back" on The Discovery Times Channel.
By ANGELA DELLI SANTI
SOUTH PLAINFIELD, N.J. (AP) - All 11 Taco Bells implicated in an E. coli outbreak in New York and New Jersey used the same food distributor, the restaurant chain said Tuesday as health officials tried to pinpoint the source of the dangerous bacteria that sickened at least three dozen people.
Nine people remained hospitalized in New Jersey and New York, including an 11-year-old boy in stable condition with kidney damage.
Taco Bell Corp. said it had sanitized its nine closed restaurants and planned to reopen them on Tuesday. At the same time, spokesman Rob Poetsch said: "We have no indication what the source is. We're looking into all possibilities."
The distributor, Texas-based McLane Co., said that Taco Bell representatives and state and federal health inspectors toured the distribution center in Burlington, N.J., that supplied the eight Long Island, N.Y., restaurants and the three in New Jersey....
Jamba Juice Warns Consumers About Smoothie Contamination (CA, AZ, NV - 12/5/06)
SAN FRANCISCO - Jamba Juice Co. warned consumers Tuesday that a potentially deadly bacterium may have contaminated smoothies that contain strawberries.
The warning, released in consultation with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, applies to smoothies sold at Jamba Juice stores in Arizona, Southern Nevada and Southern California between Nov. 25 and Dec. 1.
San Francisco-based Jamba Juice issued the warning after one of its suppliers - Cleugh's Frozen Foods of Salinas - said that frozen strawberries from one of its facilities tested positive for Listeria monocytogenes....

The Case of the Bennigan’s Caesar Salad
Posted by Peter Lattman
“Did Caesar salad kill a healthy teen?” asks a headline in today’s Newark Star-Ledger. Though not quite comparable to the case of the flying shrimp (see posts here and here), here is yet another case that will transport you back to your first-year torts class (think Palsgraf). A two-week trial begins today in a New Jersey federal court brought by the family of a girl who got sick — allegedly from eating a Caesar Salad at her local Bennigan’s — and died three years later.
Here are the tragic facts, according to the Star-Ledger story:
* In June 1999, Tara Winnicki had just finished final exams and headed to the local Bennigan’s with a group of friends to celebrate the end of the school year. She ate a Caesar salad and drank a Dr Pepper. One of her friends ate a Caesar salad with chicken.
* The next morning, the 16-year-old from North Brunswick, N.J., woke up feeling sick to her stomach, but she still got into the family car for a roadtrip to Florida.
* The trip came to halt in Virginia when Tara became violently ill. Within two days, she was hospitalized with kidney failure, apparently the result of food poisoning that left her severely dehydrated. (Though no one else in her dining party got sick.)
* Over the next three years, Tara’s health continued to deteriorate. She underwent a kidney transplant, which ultimately failed. All the while, her family racked up $800,000 in medical bills. Tara died in December 2003.
The girl’s family says the Caesar Salad caused her death and filed a civil lawsuit against the restaurant chain. Lawyers for Bennigan’s deny the allegations and say there is no evidence to suggest the meal she ate caused her illness.
