November 23, 2012 | | YUM Already raiding the fridge for leftovers? Food Network star Guy Fieri shares three simple ways to turn your day-old turkey and stuffing into a worthy feast—from turkey Cubanos to roasted turkey egg rolls. ‘New Pharaoh’ Protesters rallied in Cairo on Friday against President Mohamed Morsi’s recent expansion of powers—and described him as “a new pharaoh.” Morsi decreed on Thursday that his decisions are now above judicial review and blocked legal challenges to the assembly that is writing the new Constitution, which opponents say is dominated by conservative Islamists. In response, crowds have gathered in Tahrir Square and fights between activists and police broke out near the Interior Ministry. Protesters shouted, “the people want the regime down” and “no to a new dictator.” Several political parties and civil-society groups said they would join the demonstration, and similar protests are planned for other cities. What Ceasefire? Officials say that a 20-year-old Palestinian was killed and nine others wounded after a clashing with Israeli soldiers on Thursday in the southeast Gaza Strip. Gaza’s leadership claims that the agreement includes a promise by Israel to halt “incursions” into the buffer zone along Gaza’s northern and eastern borders where Palestinians have previously not been allowed. The Palestinian News Agency said that a group of Palestinians went to a border area to pray and ended up throwing stones at soldiers, who responded with gunfire. An Israeli military spokesman said only that there were demonstrations on the Gaza side and that Israeli forcers fired warning shots, but that no incursion occurred. NABBED Several people have been arrested in the Tel Aviv bus bombing that injured 21, Israeli authorities announced on Thursday. A handful of Palestinians from the West Bank and an Arab individual with Israeli citizenship were taken into custody for Wednesday’s bombing, which injured at least 20 people and is being considered a terrorist attack. Shin Bet, Israel’s internal security service, said the suspects were arrested within hours of the bombing. It was the first attack in Tel Aviv in six years. The names of the suspects haven’t been released. LEAVES OF ABSENCE Jesse Jackson Jr. was MIA from Congress for months before resigning this week—and he’s not alone.
