A lot of things attracted me to Judaism," said [Christine Benvenuto], whose book, Shiksa, chronicles her path to conversion and the choices of other non-Jewish spouses. "I grew up in a Jewish neighbourhood in New York and my friends were always Jewish. "That, in turn, has been made it more complicated for Jews to turn around and say, 'It's really OK for us to proselytize others,"' said Jack Wertheimer, professor of American Jewish history at the Jewish Theological Seminary in New York. "So, what Jews have preached is, 'Don't proselytize ours and we won't proselytize yours."' Kathy Kahn, director of outreach at the Union for Reform Judaism, has compiled 21 pages of pro-conversion quotes from rabbis and Jewish thinkers to counter the thinking that "the only way to be Jewish is to be bor...

This year's Almanac starts off interestingly enough with some pop culture -- a dozen or so pages of Readers' Digest-style snippets in the Tastes and Trends section. One item reveals that employees now suffer from input overload -- from messages via phones, computers and other high-tech gizmos -- that is making us unfocused, impulsive, hasty and causing us to feel guilty and inadequate. The solution devised by some bosses for reducing distractions is to have their employees wear black baseball caps to signal their need for quiet, while others suggest a Do Not Disturb sign. I'm not sure how either method would stop the phones from ringing. Twenty-four pages in and we have an article on the daisy, America's most loved and misunderstood flower (according to the Almanac) with a bit of botan...

Key sources for accounting historians are published reports on censuses of population and the surviving enumeration books on which they were based. The increasing availability of electronic versions of census enumeration books (CEB) for Canada, the UK, and the US offers opportunities for better understanding the history of occupations concerned with the performance of accounting functions. However, census reports and original census documents must be interpreted critically. A study reports on a study of accountants appearing in the transcribed version of the British CEBs for 1881. It is shown how the published census underreported the number of accountants in Britain and suggests that there are potential inconsistencies in the manner in which accountants were counted. While accounting h...

Of particular interest is his documentation of Canada's curling triumphs and tragedies: the Olympic gold medal wins of the late Sandra Schmirler (Nagano, 1998) and Newfoundland's Brad Gushue in Turin last year; the 1974 killer tornado that levelled Ontario's Windsor Curling Club; and the fire that destroyed Winnipeg's Thistle Curling Club in June 2006. [Doug Clark] has also added some insightful profiles of the sport's best-known characters, among them Clarence "Shorty" Jenkins, the 70-year-old self-taught icemaker from Trenton, Ont., whose lifelong study of curling rocks and ice revolutionized the way the game is played. Still, each chapter of Clark's tome stands alone, although it's best read from start to finish to get a complete picture of curling's past, present and future.

Online, the countdown continues daily: "HipsterXx forever" hopes to drop to 79 pounds by spring break; "Diet Soda Chick" counts calories before her prom, and hundreds of teens join the "Skinny by Summer07" group at the social networking site Xanga. There are themes on the websites that I think promote the eating-disordered mind-set," said Theresa Fassihi, a psychologist with the eating-disorder program at the Menninger Clinic in Houston. "They will equate success with losing weight and a sense of control. They equate weight loss with perfection. "I would have pictures I would print out from the websites that I would pin to my mirror," she said. "I would spend, like, hours going through the list of stuff and figuring out how many calories you could burn."
