Find out why the government thinks this group has been hit so hard by the disease.
A jaw-dropping 48 percent of black women between ages 14 and 49 have the virus which causes genital herpes, says the federal agency. Blacks in general are more than three times as likely as whites to have herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) (39.2 percent vs. 12.3 percent).
Why is it so much higher among black women? It is likely that biological factors make women more susceptible to genital herpes than men, says the CDC. American women in general are nearly twice as likely as men to be infected (21 percent vs. 11 percent). Then add on top of that socioeconomic factors that negatively affect blacks' general state of health, and it's no surprise that black women draw the short straw when it comes to getting genital herpes.
What's worse, most don't even know they've drawn that short straw. Up to 80 percent of genital herpes infections in the United States are undiagnosed. "Many individuals are transmitting herpes to others without even knowing it," said John M. Douglas Jr., director of CDC's division of STD prevention. "It is important that persons with symptoms suggestive of herpes-especially recurrent sores in the genital area-seek clinical care to determine if these symptoms may be due to herpes and might benefit from treatment."
Sores aren't the only sign you've been infected, and many people don't even experience them. Redness and itching are other symptoms, and the disease can still be transmitted without visible sores.
For more information on the disease, check out the CDC's genital herpes fact sheet.
Sheryl Huggins Salomon is deputy editor of The Root.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported, yesterday, March 9, that about 16 percent of Americans between the ages of 14 and 49 have genital herpes which is incurable.
The CDC said about 21 percent of women were infected with genital herpes or herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) compared to about 11.5 percent of men.
It said about 39 percent of blacks were infected -- including 48 percent of black women -- and about 12 percent of whites.Genital herpes can cause recurrent and painful genital sores and greatly increases the likelihood of acquiring and transmitting the AIDS virus.
On Friday the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ordered Albert Snyder of York, Pa., father of Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder to pay Westboro Baptist Church's leader Fred Phelps $16,510.
Westboro Baptist Church is known for anti-gay protests and movements.
In 2006, the funeral of Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder was targeted by Westboro Baptist Church. Phelps and six members of church gathered to picket the solemn affair with signs that read "America is doomed," "Matt in hell" and "Semper Fi fags."
The family sued the group after Phelps used his website to criticize Snyder.
The family won the first round in a Maryland court against Westboro Baptist Church, being awarded $5 million on the grounds of intrusion into a secluded event, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and civil conspiracy.
However, that award was overturned during appeal. The court ruled that the protesters were exercising their right of free speech.
Now, Snyder's family must pay the legal costs for Westboro Baptist Church.
Lawsuit against WBC – funeral pickets ruled protected speech
On March 10, 2006 WBC picketed the funeral of Lance Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder.[72][73][74] On June 5, 2006 the Snyder family sued[75] Fred Phelps, WBC, and unnamed others for defamation, invasion of privacy, and intentional infliction of emotional distress. On October 31, 2007, WBC, Fred Phelps and his two daughters, Shirley Phelps-Roper and Rebecca Phelps-Davis, were found liable for invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. A federal jury awarded Mr. Snyder $2.9 million in compensatory damages, then later added a decision to award $6 million in punitive damages for invasion of privacy and an additional $2 million for causing emotional distress (A total of $10,900,000). The organization said it would not change its message because of the verdict.[76][77][78]
The lawsuit named Albert Snyder as the plaintiff and Fred W. Phelps, Sr.; Westboro Baptist Church, Inc.; Rebekah Phelps-Davis; and Shirley Phelps-Roper as defendants, alleging that they were responsible for publishing defamatory information about the Snyder family on the Internet, including statements that Albert and his wife had "raised [Matthew] for the devil" and taught him "to defy his Creator, to divorce, and to commit adultery." Other statements denounced them for raising their son Catholic. Snyder further complained the defendants had intruded upon and staged protests at his son's funeral. The claims of invasion of privacy and defamation arising from comments posted about Snyder on the Westboro website were dismissed on First Amendment grounds, but the case proceeded to trial on the remaining three counts.[79][80]
Albert Snyder, the father of Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder, testified:
"They turned this funeral into a media circus and they wanted to hurt my family. They wanted their message heard and they didn't care who they stepped over. My son should have been buried with dignity, not with a bunch of clowns outside."[81]
In his instructions to the jury U.S. District Judge Richard Bennett stated that the First Amendment protection of free speech has limits, including vulgar, offensive and shocking statements, and that the jury must decide "whether the defendant's actions would be highly offensive to a reasonable person, whether they were extreme and outrageous and whether these actions were so offensive and shocking as to not be entitled to First Amendment protection."[82] See also Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire, a case where certain personal slurs and obscene utterances by an individual were found unworthy of First Amendment protection, due to the potential for violence resulting from their utterance.
WBC is seeking a mistrial based on alleged prejudicial statements made by the judge and violations of the gag order by the plaintiff's attorney.[83] An appeal is also likely. WBC has said that it is thankful for the verdict.[84]
On February 4, 2008 U.S. District Judge Richard D. Bennett upheld the ruling but reduced the punitive damages from $8 million to $2.1 million. The total judgment now stands at $5 million. An appeal by WBC is still pending.[85] Liens have been ordered on church buildings and Phelps' law office in an attempt to ensure that the damages are paid.[86]
On September 24, 2009, a federal appeals court ruled in favor of Westboro Baptist Church. It found their picket near the funeral of Cpl. Matthew A. Snyder is protected speech and did not violate the privacy of the service member's family, reversing a lower court's $5 million award.[87] On 8 March 2010 the U.S. Supreme Court granted certiorari in Snyder v. Phelps, (Docket No. 09-751, March 8, 2010).[88]

ANY GOOD INTEL OPERATIVE KNOWS THIS TYPE OF INFILTRATION MUST BE DONE TO GET "ACTIONABLE iNTELLIGENCE". MAYBE WIKILEAKS SHOULD TAKE MORE PRECAUTIONS AS THEY SEEK TO EASCAPE THE SCRUTINY OF MULTIBILLION DOLLAR INTEL AGENCIES WHOSE JOB IT IS TO BE THERE AS IT HAPPENS!
Over the last few years, WikiLeaks has been the subject of hostile acts by security organizations. In the developing world, these range from the appalling assassination of two related human rights lawyers in Nairobi last March (an armed attack on my compound there in 2007 is still unattributed) to an unsuccessful mass attack by Chinese computers on our servers in Stockholm, after we published photos of murders in Tibet. In the West this has ranged from the overt, the head of Germany's foreign intelligence service, the BND, threatening to prosecute us unless we removed a report on CIA activity in Kosovo, to the covert, to an ambush by a "James Bond" character in a Luxembourg car park, an event that ended with a mere "we think it would be in your interest to...".
Developing world violence aside, we've become used to the level of security service interest in us and have established procedures to ignore that interest.
But the increase in surveillance activities this last month, in a time when we are barely publishing due to fundraising, are excessive. Some of the new interest is related to a film exposing a U.S. massacre we will release at the U.S. National Press Club on April 5.
The spying includes attempted covert following, photographing, filming and the overt detention & questioning of a WikiLeaks' volunteer in Iceland on Monday night.
I, and others were in Iceland to advise Icelandic parliamentarians on the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative, a new package of laws designed to protect investigative journalists and internet services from spying and censorship. As such, the spying has an extra poignancy.
The possible triggers:
our ongoing work on a classified film revealing civilian casualties occurring under the command of the U.S, general, David Petraeus.
our release of a classified 32 page US intelligence report on how to fatally marginalize WikiLeaks (expose our sources, destroy our reputation for integrity, hack us).
our release of a classified cable from the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik reporting on contact between the U.S. and the U.K. over billions of euros in claimed loan guarantees.
pending releases related to the collapse of the Icelandic banks and Icelandic "oligarchs".
We have discovered half a dozen attempts at covert surveillance in Reykjavik both by native English speakers and Icelanders. On the occasions where these individuals were approached, they ran away. One had marked police equipment and the license plates for another suspicious vehicle track back to the Icelandic private VIP bodyguard firm Terr. What does that mean? We don't know. But as you will see, other events are clear.
U.S. sources told Icelandic state media's deputy head of news, that the State Department was aggressively investigating a leak from the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik. I was seen at a private U.S Embassy party at the Ambassador's residence, late last year and it is known I had contact with Embassy staff, after.
On Thursday March 18, 2010, I took the 2.15 PM flight out of Reykjavik to Copenhagen--on the way to speak at the SKUP investigative journalism conference in Norway. After receiving a tip, we obtained airline records for the flight concerned. Two individuals, recorded as brandishing diplomatic credentials checked in for my flight at 12:03 and 12:06 under the name of "US State Department". The two are not recorded as having any luggage.
Iceland doesn't have a separate security service. It folds its intelligence function into its police forces, leading to an uneasy overlap of policing and intelligence functions and values.
On Monday 22, March, at approximately 8.30pm, a WikiLeaks volunteer, a minor, was detained by Icelandic police on a wholly insignificant matter. Police then took the opportunity to hold the youth over night, without charge--a highly unusual act in Iceland. The next day, during the course of interrogation, the volunteer was shown covert photos of me outside the Reykjavik restaurant "Icelandic Fish & Chips", where a WikiLeaks production meeting took place on Wednesday March 17--the day before individuals operating under the name of the U.S. State Department boarded my flight to Copenhagen.
Our production meeting used a discreet, closed, backroom, because we were working on the analysis of a classified U.S. military video showing civilian kills by U.S. pilots. During the interrogation, a specific reference was made by police to the video---which could not have been understood from that day's exterior surveillance alone. Another specific reference was made to "important", but unnamed Icelandic figures. References were also made to the names of two senior journalists at the production meeting.
Who are the Icelandic security services loyal to in their values? The new government of April 2009, the old pro-Iraq war government of the Independence party, or perhaps to their personal relationships with peers from another country who have them on a permanent intelligence information drip?
Only a few years ago, Icelandic airspace was used for CIA rendition flights. Why did the CIA think that this was acceptable? In a classified U.S. profile on the former Icelandic Ambassador to the United States, obtained by WikiLeaks, the Ambassador is praised for helping to quell publicity of the CIA's activities.
Often when a bold new government arises, bureaucratic institutions remain loyal to the old regime and it can take time to change the guard. Former regime loyalists must be discovered, dissuaded and removed. But for the security services, that first vital step, discovery, is awry. Congenitally scared of the light, such services hide their activities; if it is not known what security services are doing, then it is surely impossible to know who they are doing it for.
Our plans to release the video on April 5 proceed.
We have asked relevant authorities in the Unites States and Iceland to explain. If these countries are to be treated as legitimate states, they need to start obeying the rule of law. Now.

Hal Turner’s first “Mission” for FBI
(http://family-of-hal-turner.blogspot.com/)Last week, we announced that we would begin telling you what the FBI paid Hal Turner to do. Today, we begin that process with a fascinating story about Israeli involvement with 9/11, and an FBI counter intelligence operation against the ADL and AIPAC.The information in this story comes from letters written by Hal Turner from federal prison before he got out on bail. He remains free, awaiting a third trial on charges he “threatened” 3 judges. Hal Turner is presently under a “gag order” imposed by the court. That order prevents him from speaking to the media and from using the internet. The information in this story was written in letters to us before that gag order was imposed on Hal. We, Hal’s family, are not subject to any such gag order, so we’ve decided to publish the letters Hal mailed to us from prison so you, the American people, can know the truth.In any case below where links to outside media sources are included in this story, these links were researched by us to corroborate information provided by Hal in his letters from prison. Here now, Hal Turner’s first “mission” as a National Security

Tobacco Front Group Blasts Congresswoman Who Just Lost Both Parents To Cancer! The Bastards! Typical Republican Tactic!
0 comments at 3:02 PM
Americans for Prosperity- Attack Group Funded By Big Tobacco and Big Oil! These Bastards Know How To Stoop Real Low!We are currently featuring principles that support amending the Constitution to address the severe flaws in the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United. Here are core principles that grassroots groups and over 50,000 people have signed on to:
We, the People of the United States of America, reject the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Citizens United, and move to amend our Constitution to:
Firmly establish that money is not speech, and that human beings, not corporations, are persons entitled to constitutional rights.
Guarantee the right to vote and to participate, and to have our vote and participation count.
Protect local communities, their economies, and democracies against illegitimate "preemption" actions by global, national, and state governments.
If you agree, you can help move to amend the Constitution by clicking here.

U.S. Rep. Kathy Dahlkemper of Erie issued the following response today to television ads critical of her, which are currently airing throughout the 3rd Congressional District:
Dahlkemper Responds to Ads Accusing Her of Being Soft on Cancer After Dahlkemper loses her parents to cancer, tobacco front group launches attack
“These attacks from a Washington-based front group are false, tasteless, and shameful,” said Congresswoman Dahlkemper. “In the past month, I’ve lost both my parents to cancer. It’s truly disgraceful for outside groups to then attack me for not being tough enough on cancer.”
“Like millions of Americans, my family and I have lost loved ones to this horrible disease. This is personal for me; I’ve been a strong proponent of the Kanzius Cancer Research Foundation and the work they are doing to find a cure, and I’ve encouraged more cancer screenings, particularly for women. My record and dedication are clear.”
“I will always do what is best for Northwestern Pennsylvania, and these distortions won’t do a thing to change that commitment to my constituents,” Dahlkemper said. Americans for Prosperity is a front group for tobacco and oil companies.
“It’s disgusting that the partnership of tobacco and oil have targeted Congresswoman Dahlkemper only days after her parents passed away from cancer,” said Chief of Staff Tina Mengine.
As the mother of five, and the new grandmother of two, Dahlkemper has a personal commitment to family health, and has emerged as a new leader on preventative care and wellness. She made numerous contributions to the current health care reform bill, such as making it easier for young adults to stay on their parents’ insurance, and expanding coverage to fight obesity.
Contrary to the ads claims, Dahlkemper has also specifically tackled preventative cancer care. She has introduced and cosponsored legislation that would:
Encourage breast cancer screenings for women under age 50;
Recognize National Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day;
Recognize Cervical Health Awareness Month;
Raise awareness of ovarian cancer; and,
Raise awareness about women’s susceptibility to colorectal cancer.
“Americans for Prosperity doesn’t speak for the district,” said Mengine. “It’s a Washington-based mouthpiece for big tobacco and oil. Western Pennsylvanians should be offended by these ads; they are utterly false.”
Below is a list of cancer related legislation that Congresswoman Dahlkemper has sponsored or co-sponsored:
HR 109: Honoring the 20th anniversary of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure in the Nation’s Capital and its transition to the Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure on June 6, 2009, and for other purposes.
HR 158: Expressing support for the designation of an Early Detection Month for breast cancer and all forms of cancer.
HR 727: Expressing support for greater awareness of ovarian cancer.
HR 787: Expressing support for designation of October 13, 2009, as National Metastatic Breast Cancer Awareness Day.
HR 971: Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding guidelines for breast cancer screening for women ages 40 to 49.
HR 1011: Recognizing the importance of cervical health and of detecting cervical cancer during its earliest stages and supporting the goals and ideals of Cervical Health Awareness Month.
HR 1053: Recognizing that women are equally affected by colon cancer.
HR 1189: Colorectal Cancer, Prevention, Early Detection and Treatment Act of 2009.
HR 1691: Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act of 2009.
HR 1740: Breast Cancer Education and Awareness Requires Learning Young Act (EARLY) Act
HR 3962: Armed Forces Breast Cancer Research Act.

Shipboard Employment OpportunitiesThe U.S.-Flag Great Lakes fleet typically has a number of job openings during the shipping season. While many openings are "relief positions" (replacing regular crewmembers going on vacation), there are also permanent positions available in all ratings - entries, the qualified ratings (AB and QMED) and officers. Therefore, the length of employment could be several weeks or longer.
By law, no one may work on a U.S.-Flag commercial vessel without a Merchant Mariner's Document. For more information on obtaining an MMD, click here. Mariners already possessing a valid MMD (it must be renewed every five years), may contact the following individuals and organizations.
OFFICERS
The majority of U.S.-Flag Lakers are contracted with American Maritime Officers to supply licensed officers. Individuals possessing an Engine or Deck license should contact Phil Kelley (1-800-221-9395). Grand River Navigation Company is contracted with Masters, Mates and Pilots (MMP), but hires directly. Contact Rick Turman, Sr. (440-930-2024). MMP's contact is Charles Malue (216-776-1667). Marine Engineers' Beneficial Association (MEBA) represents officers on Interlake Steamship vessels. MEBA's Lakes' agent, Salvatore Zingales, can be contacted at (216) 579-6322.
UNLICENSED PERSONNEL
Some companies are contracted with the Seafarers’ International Union (SIU) for their unlicensed personnel. For more information, call (810) 794-4988.
The following companies are contracted with Steelworkers Local 5000, but hire unlicensed personnel directly.
Central Marine Logistics, Inc. – Lori Johnston (219) 922-2644 Great Lakes Fleet / Key Lakes, Inc. - 1-800-535-2321The Interlake Steamship Company – (800-327-3855, ext. 1140)Liberty Steamship Company (a subsidiary of American Steamship Company) - Mary Banks (800) 828-7230Grand River Navigation Company is contracted with Masters, Mates and Pilots (MMP), but hires directly. Contact Rick Turman, Sr. (440-930-2024).
For employment opportunities with Lake Michigan Carferry, contact Laurie Bialochowski (231-843-1509).
Working in the marine industry is a rewarding career, but as with all professions, it has its unique demands. Great Lakes shipping IS NOT a 9 to 5 job. The ships operate constantly, stopping only long enough to load or discharge cargo. If the ship arrives in port at 0130 (1:30 a.m.), that’s when loading or unloading begins. Similarly, if loading/unloading finishes at 2300 (11 p.m.), the vessel is underway minutes later. Crewmembers are aboard ship for weeks on end, with only limited opportunities for going ashore. The pay is competitive and the food is good and plentiful. Meals and rooms are provided free of charge. All members of Lake Carriers’ Association are Equal Opportunity Employers.

Two large ships that have been undergoing yearly winter maintenance here in Erie will sail out of the harbor on Friday. The Edgar Speer and the Presque Isle will head to Lake Superior to begin 10 months of hauling iron ore around the Great Lakes. Crews at Erie Sand and Gravel spent the past 2 months overhauling the engines, machinery, and doing preventative maintenance. John Thibodeau of the Great Lakes Fleet said, "We've been doing overhauls, repairing machinery and preventative maintenance as well as repairing stuff that is broken." The work has been a big boost for Erie Sand and Gravel. Tod Eagleton of Erie Sand and Gravel said, "If we didn't have this boat work we would probably have had to layoff 3 or 4 people. So we're able to keep our work force in place, and also bring on some temporary help. So it very certainly helps us and the local economy." Great Lakes shipping was down last year because of the recession. Officials are hoping for a turnaround this year. Eagleton said, "This year more vessels are actually going to be fitted out. But in the stone trade we're really not sure yet. It will play out. It is kind of a crap shoot."

The Measure of Their Achievement©
There are, perhaps, thirteen to fifteen million Jews in the world of six billion people. Jews are so few in number that in a room of 1,000 people representing the world's population, only two would be Jewish. A comparable sample from the United States would count only twenty-two Jews among 1,000 representative Americans.
In the sciences, Jews have won 22 percent of all the Nobel Prizes ever awarded - 29 percent of the prizes since 1950, after the Holocaust destroyed a third of their numbers. Given their small population, Jews should have earned only one of the 502 Nobels awarded for physics, chemistry, medicine and physiology. They have won 123.
The Fields Medal, awarded to the world's brightest mathematicians under age 40, is the honor John Nash, of the book and movie A Beautiful Mind had hoped to win. Instead, he took a Nobel Prize in economics as a consolation prize. One-fourth of the Fields Medals winners are Jews.
Encyclopedia Britannica provides its list of "Great Inventions." Of the 267 individual inventors, more than 13 were Jews, including Zoll (the defibrillator and the pacemaker), Land (instant photography), Gabor (holography), and Ginsburg (videotape). Jews are represented on the list 22 times more than one would expect based on their population.
They are disproportionately counted in most of the arts. Since their respective dates of inception, America's leading symphony orchestras have been led by Jewish conductors one-third of the time. They have created nearly two-thirds of Broadway's longest running musicals. Probably one-fourth of the greatest photographers of all time have been Jews, as have 10 percent of the world's great master architects. Of movie directors who earned Oscars, 38 percent were Jews. In broad artistic recognition, nearly 30 percent of the Kennedy Center honors and 13 percent of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Awards have gone to them.
As "People of the Book," the sobriquet Mohammed used to describe them, it is perhaps not surprising Jews have earned 11 percent of the Nobel prizes for literature and 20 percent of the Pulitzer Prizes for nonfiction. Their outpouring of books, screenplays, and newspaper and magazine articles is prodigious.
In education, it is difficult to name an academic discipline in which they have not played a leading role. Certainly Jews have been seminal thinkers in philosophy (Spinoza, Maimonides, Marx), deconstruction (Derrida), economics (Marx, Ricardo, Friedman, Samuelson, Becker, Kuznets), physics (Einstein, Bohr, Gell-Mann, Feynman, Szilard), mathematics (Von Neumann, Mandelbrot, Fefferman, Zelmanov, Erdos), chemistry (Heeger, Kohn, Kroto, Olah), linguistics (Chomsky), paleontology (Gould), medicine (Flexner, Chain, Goldstein and Brown, Salk, Sabin, Prusiner), law (Brandeis, Cardozo, Frankfurter, Tribe, Dershowitz), anthropology (Boas), psychiatry and psychology (Freud, Adler, Erikson, Fromm, Rapaport, Maslow), sociology (McClelland, Riesman, Glazer, Lipset), and many other fields. Their research and teaching helped shape entire disciplines. They head three of the eight Ivy League schools (down from four several years ago), and Jewish students are 21 percent of all Ivy League students. Any review of the lists of faculty of most schools will evidence a disproportionate number of Jewish teachers. They are, for example, roughly 30 percent of the faculty of the Harvard, Stanford, and Yale law schools.
In politics, they are 11 percent of the United States Senate and 6 percent of the House of Representatives. They were 42 percent of the 100 largest political donors to the 2000 election cycle, and since 1917, when Judge Louis Brandeis was appointed, 17 percent of Supreme Court justices have been Jews. They now hold two of the nine positions.
As economists they are gifted. They have earned 38 percent of all Nobel Prizes for economics and 67 percent of the John Clarke Bates Medals for promising economists under age 40. They were instrumental in the creation of the Federal Reserve System and have headed it for twenty-five of the last thirty-five years.
In philanthropy, a December 2004 Business Week listing of America's fifty most generous benefactors included at least nineteen Jewish families and individuals. Their charitable donations totaled nearly $10 billion over less than five years. More than 90 percent of their donations went to secular causes in support of education, health care and medicine, arts, culture, and the humanities. It is remarkable that 38 percent of America's most philanthropic people come from a group representing only 2 percent of its population.
Much of the wealth behind that philanthropy came from success as entrepreneurs. In that role, Jews created whole new industries and hold leading positions in many other companies. Increasingly, they also occupy the corner office as CEOs of some of America's largest and most important companies. Of the 2003 CEOs of Fortune's 100 largest companies, 10 to 15 percent are Jews. Of Fortune's 2003 list of the twenty-five most powerful people in business, six (24 percent) are Jews. Of the thirty entrepreneurs included in the 2004 Fortune "America's 40 Richest Under 40," at five of the top ten are Jewish as are 23 percent of the Forbes 400.
Jews pioneered the ready-to-wear garment industry and, in 1885, owned all but seven of New York's 241 garment factories. Names like Levi Straus, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, and Donna Karan are just a few contemporary representatives of that legacy. Of the four pioneers of prestige cosmetics - Helena Rubenstein, Elizabeth Arden, Est'e Lauder, and Charles Revson - only Elizabeth Arden was not Jewish. More than half of America's department stores were started or run by Jews including such greats as Macy's, Federated, May Company, Bloomingdale's, Filene's, Saks, Abraham & Straus, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Sears, and, in London, Marks & Spencer.
In specialty retailing, major chains such as Gap Stores, Limited, Mervyn's, Barneys, Men's Warehouse, Home Depot, Ritz Camera, Bed Bath & Beyond are just a few of the Jewish creations. In television retailing, both QVC and Home Shopping were largely shaped by Jews. The world's foremost demonstration salesman, Ron Popeil, uses television to sell products he invented. In diamonds, De Beers and the Lev Leviev Group are the dominant forces in the worldwide diamond trade, while Zales, Helzbergs, Whitehall, and Friedman's are among the leading diamond and jewelry retailers.
We drink our Starbucks coffee and have sipped Seagrams wines and distilled spirits. The Dove Bar, H'agen-Dazs, Ben & Jerry's and Baskin-Robbins ice cream lead to our later signing up for Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and Nutri-System programs or buying Slim-Fast in the supermarket. All these companies were founded by Jewish entrepreneurs.
We may lounge in our Fairmont, Loews, Hyatt, Helmsley or Wynn hotel, or cruise on any of the seventy-three ships of Carnival or twenty-eight of Royal Caribbean. These companies were founded or largely shaped by Jews.
Every major Hollywood studio except United Artists was created by Jews, as were NBC and CBS. Of the three original television networks, only ABC was not started by a Jew, but Leonard Goldenson bought it seven years after its founding and ran it for forty-five years. Viacom and Comcast were largely created by two Jewish families, while Steve Ross and Gerald Levin played critical roles at Time Warner.
In publishing, America's newspaper of record is The New York Times, and in the nation's capital, Katherine Meyer Graham's son, Donald, now runs The Washington Post. The Pulitzer Prize is the legacy of the family that still runs the St. Louis Post Dispatch and Arizona Daily Star. Reuters, Newhouse, Triangle and Ziff Davis are just a few of our leading magazine publishers. Random House, Alfred A. Knopf, Simon & Schuster, and Farrar, Straus and Giroux are but four of the major book publishers created and run by Jews. In finance, the story is much the same. Premier names like Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, Salomon Brothers, Lazard Freres, and Wasserstein Perella are just a few of the contemporary names of a legacy dating back to the Rothschilds, Warburgs, Kuhn-Loebs, and Seligmans. In private equity, names like Kohlberg Kravis Roberts, Thomas H. Lee Partners, Blackstone Group, Hellman & Friedman, Quantum Fund, Steinhardt Partners, Claxton, Arthur Rock, Alan Patricof, Gene Kleiner, and Ben Rosen are today's legends taking the place of Bernard Baruch and Henry Morgenthau Jr. Of the twenty-six individuals named to the Private Equity Hall of Fame, at least eight (31 percent), and perhaps as many as eleven, are Jewish.
Jews were generally not allowed to own real estate outside the ghetto for the better part of 1,800 years. They have compensated by becoming a major force in development and management of property all over the world. Of the five largest Real Estate Investment Trusts listed by Forbes magazine in May 2002, four were headed by Jews.
Today, Michael Bloomberg is New York's mayor, but earlier, he created Bloomberg LP, the enterprise that gave him the wherewithal to take on a second career. It is the largest financial information company in the world.
Few people know that the shell of Shell Oil traces back to a London curio shop where the Samuels family featured seashells before two sons started trading kerosene. Nor would they know that the Amoco part of BP Amoco was the creation of the father and son team of Louis and Jacob Blaustein, who also invented the railroad tank car. Amerada Hess, Aurora Oil, Marvin Davis, Occidental Petroleum, and Kaiser-Francis are just a few more of the petroleum businesses started or principally shaped by Jews.
America's great legacy of the Guggenheim Museums and Smithsonian's Hirschorn Museum and Sculpture Garden have their origins in the success of two great mining operations established by Jewish families.
In business services, Manpower is the world's largest temporary staffing company, just as ADP is the largest payroll processing company and H & R Block is the largest preparer of tax returns. All were started by Jews.
And lest anyone think Jews are not on the leading end of new technology, Jews:
Created the world's largest and most valuable computer company (Dell, Michael Dell).
Co-founded the world's most successful search engine (Google, Sergey Brin).
Head the world's largest software company (Microsoft, Steve Ballmer)
Co-founded and head the world's second largest software company (Oracle, Lawrence Ellison).
Co-founded, led and serve as chairman of the world's dominant microprocessor and memory chip company (Intel, Andrew Grove).
Served as CEO or COO at three of the world's four most valuable Internet companies (Yahoo, Terry Semel; eBay, Jeff Skoll; and IAC, Barry Diller).
Co-founded and head the communications protocol/chip company whose chips are in most U.S. cell phones and are slated to be utilized in the next generation of cell phones to be used worldwide (Qualcomm, Irwin Jacobs).
And this does not consider Jews vital role as labor leaders and advocates for the poor and the oppressed. While Jews were busy creating the garment industry, their fellow Jews, Bessie Abramowitz, Sidney Hillman, David Dubinsky, and others, were organizing that industry's labor force. In that same era, Samuel Gompers headed organized labor for much of the early twentieth century. Later, Saul Alinsky, Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Betty Friedan, and Gloria Steinem were just a few of the Jews devoted to social change.
While there are not many prominent Jewish athletes in today's professional sports, most would be surprised to know they are two of the ten top NBA coaches of all time. Five of the 216 members in the NFL Hall of Fame are Jewish, and Jews own 25 percent of the NFL football teams and 28 percent of the NBA teams. Meanwhile, Jews serve as commissioners of all five major professional sports: baseball, football, basketball, hockey, and soccer. And, where the games have more to do with brains than brawn, Jews have held the world chess championship title for roughly two-thirds of the time since it began in 1834, and in bridge, the legend of the game, Charles Goren, was Jewish.
Charles Murray's book, Human Accomplishment, looks at those who achieved excellence in the arts and sciences from 800 BC to 1950. He devotes part of that book to what he calls the "astounding" disproportionate representation of Jews among history's great figures. Following "the Jewish Emancipation" (which he dates from 1790 to 1870), he measures the representation of Jews among the 1,277 great historical figures between 1870 and 1950. Based on their percentage of the population, he says 28 should have been Jews. "The actual number was at least 158." His observation is corroborated in other listings of "history's greats." Michael Hart's book, The 100 ' A Ranking of the Most Influential Persons in History, counts eight Jews among the 100 (Jesus, St. Paul, Einstein, Marx, Moses, Freud, Pincus, and Bohr). This is 35 times what one would expect. 5
