Warm up with bowls of ramen across America, from pozole ramen in the Southwest to cheesesteak-inspired noodle soup in Detroit. |
In winter, there’s one delicious way Americans can stay warm in every state: ramen. Once relegated only to dehydrated noodles with seasoning packets, traditional Japanese ramen has seen a resurgence across the USA, with bowls of the chef-created noodle soup often reflecting regional ingredients and flavors. |
“In cities like Nashville, Tampa and Austin, ramen shops tend to cater to a more local palette, we call this craft ramen," says Kenshiro Uki, vice president of operations for Sun Noodle, which manufactures custom ramen noodles for restaurants across the country. “For example, I’ve seen brisket ramen in Texas, but also ... |
Still, Americanized ramen remains true to its origins. “Chefs are sticking to the fundamental techniques of what makes a great bowl of ramen, and using ingredients that are fresh and locally available,” says Uki. |
For those who have only had the 30-cent, packaged version once popular with college students, Uki reminds ramen novices that homemade or restaurant ramen is a “completely different dish,” and the popularization of this type of ramen across America indicates the growing demand for fresh, healthy food. |
More than a trend that will cool off by next winter, ramen is becoming a facet of American cuisine, a canvas for which chefs can show off their favorite ingredients, techniques, and perhaps even introduce new concepts to the American palate. Just look at New York chef Esther Choi, who started Mokbar in 2014, with the g... |

(Reuters) - The Los Angeles Lakers, who named Magic Johnson as their new president of basketball operations earlier on Tuesday, have traded guard Lou Williams to the Houston Rockets, according to multiple media reports. |
The Lakers are expected to receive a 2017 first-round draft pick along with forward Corey Brewer in exchange for Williams, who wrote on Twitter: “Thanx for the love L.A., I've enjoyed my stay”. |
Williams, 30, led the Lakers with an average of 18.6 points, 3.2 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game this season despite coming off the bench. |
He leads all NBA reserves in scoring average and will provide the Rockets (40-18), third in the Western Conference, with another spark for their high-scoring offense. |
In addition to promoting Johnson, a Hall of Famer who won five NBA titles with Los Angeles in the 1980s, Lakers Governor Jeanie Buss also fired general manager Mitch Kupchak and her brother, Jim, from his role as vice president of basketball operations. |
The death toll has risen since Israel began air strikes on the region. |
ISRAELI WARPLANES POUNDED targets in the Gaza Strip as a major campaign to stop volleys of Palestinian rocket fire entered its second day, leaving 28 people dead and more than 100 wounded. |
A strike on a home in Beit Hanoun, in northern Gaza, claimed the lives of a commander of the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Islamic Jihad, his parents, a woman and two children, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said. |
Another strike early today on the southern city of Rafah killed a young man. |
The deaths brought to 28 the number of fatalities since the launch of Israel’s Operation Protective Edge early on Tuesday, with the Jewish state not ruling out a ground operation to stop the rocket attacks. |
Israeli air strikes took the lives of 24 people while four Hamas militants were killed staging a beachfront assault on an army base just north of the besieged Strip. |
During the day Israel staged multiple air strikes on the Gaza Strip, which also left more than 100 wounded, and militants from the Islamist movement Hamas hit back with rocket fire on Israel’s major population centres in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv in the most serious flare-up over Gaza since November 2012. |
As sirens wailed across the Holy City, three loud explosions were heard and a series of flashes lit the sky to the southwest. |
Police said one rocket fell in the vicinity of Ramat Raziel, some 10 kilometres (six miles) from the city’s southwestern flank and two more fell in outlying areas, without elaborating. |
Police spokeswoman Luba Samri said there were no reports of injuries anywhere in the Jerusalem area. |
The Ezzedine al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said it had fired four M75 rockets at Jerusalem, which lies 65 kilometres from the Palestinian enclave. |
It also claimed to have launched a rocket at Haifa, 165 kilometres away. |
There was no report of anything hitting the northern port city but the army said a rocket did fall on Hadera, 100 kilometres north of Gaza. |
Hamas militants also said Tuesday they fired four rockets at Tel Aviv, 60 kilometres north of Gaza, setting sirens off across the city. Earlier, another rocket aimed at Israel’s commercial capital was shot down by the Iron Dome anti-missile defence system. |
Israeli authorities said that public bomb shelters in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem had been readied for use. |
Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas has demanded Israel “immediately stop” its air campaign and called on the international community to pressure the Jewish state. |
“The Palestinian Authority will go to all international organisations to seek protection for the Palestinian people,” he said in a televised statement. |
In Tuesday’s worst strike, a missile slammed into a house in the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis killing eight people and wounding 25, emergency services spokesman Ashraf al-Qudra said. |
Witnesses said an Israeli drone fired a warning flare, prompting relatives and neighbours to gather at the house as a human shield. But an F-16 warplane fired a missile at the building, levelling it. |
Hamas denounced the attack as “a horrendous war crime” and vowed retaliation against “all Israelis”. |
In addition, Israeli troops killed four Hamas militants who reached the Israeli coastline by sea and tried to attack an army base near Zikim. |
“A number of terrorists came out of the ocean and attacked… with Kalashnikov rifles and hand grenades,” said Lieutenant Colonel Peter Lerner, who said they were all killed. |
The attack was claimed by the Qassam Brigades. |

Having followed the saga of Britain’s relations with the rest of the European Union since the 1960s, I have a nagging suspicion that we are now witnessing a slow-motion car crash, with potentially horrific implications. |
The notorious epigram, much quoted in my youth but seldom heard these days, states that ‘the road to Hell is paved with good intentions’. |
Not to put too fine a point upon it, for all the sniping that goes on in this country about ‘Brussels’ – often from well-to-do Brits who experience the best of both worlds with comfortable residences in Britain and France (or Spain or Italy) – the European Union was a brilliant idea, but the single currency, in the for... |
Older readers will know, and younger readers need to know if they don’t already, that the whole point of what became the European Union was to bind European nations sufficiently closely together that another war in Europe would be out of the question. |
The particular emphasis was on France and Germany; the latter having invaded the former three times between 1870 and 1940 with consequences of which we are continually reminded. |
Two recent reminders have been the depiction of the First World War trenches in the television screening of Birdsong and the frequency with which we have been told that Germany’s tough approach to ‘fiscal discipline’ in the eurozone is still coloured by folk memories of the ‘wheelbarrow’ inflation that followed the Fir... |
It was not, by the way, about the price of wheelbarrows: the term reflected the way that the debauchment of the currency meant that some citizens resorted to the use of wheelbarrows to carry the amount of banknotes required to buy a loaf of bread. |
Since the Benelux countries – Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg – were not so much on the warpath at the outbreak of the First and Second World Wars as in the warpath, they too were naturals to become members of the original six who signed up to the Treaties of Rome. |
Italy, which had suffered under Mussolini, was of course the host country to the Treaties in 1957. |
The aim of the founding fathers, such as Jean Monnet – whom I once met – was to use economic means to bind France and Germany closer together politically. |
There were lots of upsets on the way, but it worked, and I know of nobody who thought, before the advent of the eurozone plan, that the European Union would ever break up. |
Although the author of the famous slogan about the supposed need for ‘ever closer union’, even Monnet, towards the end of his life, had second thoughts about that ultimate aim, Chancellor Kohl of Germany and President Mitterand of France went ahead with the formation of the single currency. |
Their motivation was fear that, after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and reunification, a Greater Germany might return to its bad old ways. |
They wanted a European Germany, not a German Europe. |
Alas, alongside this worthy aim, the economic policy establishment in Germany saw a chance to prevent countries such as Italy from devaluing their currencies, by locking them in to the eurozone. |
Italy and other Club Med countries such as Spain, Greece and Portugal joined for political reasons, and fell into an economic trap, with the disastrous consequences we see today. |
For all the short term propping up of the system, it is difficult to see how the eurozone can survive in its present form, not least because Germany insists on imposing self-defeating austerity policies on others. |
Europe is in for a very rough time, economically and socially. |
Although out of the eurozone, Britain is not immune. |

Waterbury Sears is closing, and that is a historic loss for our city. |
Many people will remember that the Sears store in the Brass Mill Center mall is the successor to the Sears located at the beloved red-brick Naugatuck Valley Mall. That Sears was magnificent … at least from the perspective of a young girl holding the hand of her mother. |
The long, wide aisles of new merchandise, racks of clothes, pocketbooks and other goods – I have many happy memories of shopping there for dance leotards and appliances, and waiting endlessly for catalog merchandise to arrive and for annual school-clothes shopping. |
Indeed, my family has continued to merrily shop at the Brass Mill location, buying needs for a growing family and contributing to the local economy.Unfortunately, our Sears wasn’t able to compete in our modern economy, and I do hope the chain survives and the memory of that happy mall carries on. |

ArtsEmerson presents Tania El Khoury's “Gardens Speak” at Emerson Paramount Center. |
This is a tale of two productions, one big, one small, both of them presented by ArtsEmerson, and both of them, broadly speaking, taking as their subjects the struggle against tyranny. |
“The State of Siege,’’ which opened Thursday night at the Cutler Majestic Theatre and ran only through Saturday, features a cast of more than a dozen actors swirling through an allegorical 1948 drama by Albert Camus — bolstered by state-of-the-art sound design and video projections — about a town’s loss of freedom when... |
Tania El Khoury’s “Gardens Speak,’’ at the Paramount Center through Nov. 19, is an interactive sound installation that unfolds on a patch of soil in complete darkness and features no cast at all — at least none that’s visible — while sketching portraits of 10 Syrians killed during the Assad regime’s crackdown on the po... |
It is the small-scale, wrenchingly intimate “Gardens Speak’’ that lodges itself hauntingly in the memory, while “The State of Siege’’ is diluted by grandiloquent abstractions. |
As The Plague (Serge Maggiani) crushes liberty in the name of “silence, order, and absolute justice,’’ ArtsEmerson clearly wants us to keep Donald Trump’s disturbing authoritarian predilections in mind. But not even Trumpian parallels can endow “Siege’’ with sufficient urgency. |
Much of the fault, it pains me to say, lies with Camus, a longtime personal hero. The production by the Paris-based Theatre de la Ville is inventively staged by director Emmanuel Demarcy-Mota and features a fiercely committed cast that includes Valerie Dashwood as The Secretary, a kind of henchwoman to The Plague, as a... |
Only 10 audience members are allowed in at a time to “Gardens Speak.’’ Seated onstage in a darkened theater, we were asked to remove our shoes and socks and to don white plastic coats. After being handed a piece of paper with a name on it, we walked to an adjacent space, where 10 gravestones were arrayed in a long, rec... |
I knelt before the gravestone marked “the martyr Ayat,’’ memorializing a young woman named Ayat al-Qassab who, according to El Khoury, was buried in the garden of a relative’s home in the Karm al-Zaytoun district of Homs, Syria. Following instructions, I dug through the earth until a soft voice began to issue from the ... |
Speaking in the first-person, as Ayat, the voice told of her excruciatingly short life: her dreams of being a teacher, her marriage at age 15, and her pride in being part of the opposition to Assad, whom she held responsible for the wholesale killings of women and children who only “wanted to live in a country that lov... |
I was left with a feeling of loss for someone I never knew — and reminded how much power there can be when one human voice, unstilled, speaks the truth to one listener. |

Like many great ideas, the inspiration for Dude Wipes struck in the bathroom. |
Three recent college grads were living together in a Chicago apartment, where they used baby wipes to supplement toilet paper. What if, they wondered, there was a similar hygiene product specifically geared toward adult men? |
In 2012, they launched that product, which they named Dude Wipes. |
On Friday, the company's founders — Sean Riley, Ryan Meegan, and Jeff Klimkowsi — appeared on "Shark Tank" requesting a $300,000 investment for 10% of their company, Dude Products. |
They walked out with Mark Cuban as a partner, after he invested $300,000 for a 25% stake in their company. |
Cuban initially declared that he was out of the running for a deal. "I just don't see me as a wipes kind of guy," he told them. |
Dude Products nearly secured a deal instead with investors Robert Herjavec and Kevin O'Leary. The founders and the investors went back and forth and had almost settled on a $300,000 investment ($150,000 from each investor) for 27.5% of the company. |
But when Cuban jumped back in with his offer, Dude Products promptly accepted. |
The founders explained that Dude Wipes are designed for multiple roles. |
Men can use them as an adjunct to toilet paper in the bathroom ("the second to last wipe," Klimkowsi said) or as a wipe for faces, armpits, or any other area of the body. They're made with aloe and are flushable and biodegradable. |
So far, the company has sales of $300,000 — but they anticipate that they'll raise $1.5 million this year, now that they've secured a contract to go nationwide with retail food chain Kroger. Each pack costs $6.49 at Kroger; the product is also sold online. |
The founders said they needed a $300,000 investment to land deals with more major retailers. |
Cuban initially told the founders they were underestimating the amount of money it would take to market a new product category. By the end of the episode, he'd apparently changed his mind. |
The Tamil Nadu Dr Ambedkar Law University (TNDALU) has declared the B.L. and B.A.B.L degree exam results for the examination held in May 2017 for 3 year and 5 year degree courses. |
