Reductio ad Non Hitlerum
A New York Times columnist invents a new logical fallacy.
Earlier this week the New York Times's Roger Cohen published a pitiful apologia for his widely and justifiably derided (including by us) earlier column on Iran's purportedly happy Jews. It's too tedious to rebut point by point; indeed, its very publication vindicates Cohen's critics by showing that he realized his original column was not good enough to speak for itself.
But it is notable for what may be an innovation in fallacious reasoning. Cohen is irked by "American Jews [who are] unable to resist some analogy between Iran and Nazi Germany." It's hard to see how one can avoid such an analogy, given that the mad mullahs' (or, as Cohen calls them, the "anything but mad" mullahs') threats to annihilate Israel would result in the deaths of some six million Jews, roughly the number the Nazis murdered. But Cohen insists, "Let's be clear: Iran's Islamic Republic is no Third Reich redux."
In some ways, of course, this is undeniably true. Whereas the Nazis actually committed genocide against the Jews, the Iranians have only talked about doing so (although at one time this was true of the Nazis as well). But analogy is not identity, so that every analogy is apt only up to a point. What's interesting about this one is the logical fallacy Cohen commits in denying it.
It is the inverse of the usual reductio ad Hitlerum, which consists in falsely using a Nazi comparison to make an opponent or a position look evil. Obama is a great orator; Hitler was a great orator, too. Canada uses the metric system; Nazi Germany used the metric system, too. Bush . . . well, we were never quite sure what the point of comparison was supposed to be there, but by the time George W. Bush left office, the Hitler analogy had been almost as devalued as the Papiermark.
Cohen's fallacy--call it the reductio ad non Hitlerum--consists in falsely diminishing an evil by dwelling on its differences with Nazi Germany. Cohen observes that "Iran has not waged an expansionary war in more than two centuries," that Iran's regime does not "require the complete subservience of the individual to the state" or "tolerate only one party to which all institutions are subordinated," and even--we swear we are not making this up--that the regime does not operate with "trains-on-time Fascist efficiency."
None of these points have any bearing on Cohen's original claim, namely that the Iranian regime is good for the Jews. He does demonstrate beyond doubt that Islamic Republican Iran is not Nazi Germany--but as this is a truism anyway, the demonstration is hardly worth the ink. He makes a reasonably persuasive case that, at present, the Iranian regime is, on the whole, less evil than Nazi Germany was--but if you accept the premise that Nazi Germany is the ultimate evil, this too is a truism.
Consider the perversity of all this: If Nazi Germany had never existed, it would be harder for Cohen to defend the Iranian regime. Millions died so that Roger Cohen would have a trope with which to disparage those who take seriously Tehran's threats to murder millions more. The Holocaust seems to have taught him not vigilance in the face of evil but insouciance: not "Never again" but "Nothing to see here."
One hopes that Cohen is merely a slipshod thinker. If he knows what he is doing, this is downright depraved.
Acid Trip
In 2004, an Iranian man named Majid developed feelings for a woman named Ameneh Bahrami. She did not reciprocate his interest, and he took the rejection poorly: He splashed acid on her face, causing her to go blind.
The Associated Press reports that an Iranian court has passed sentence in the case, ruling that Majid "should also be blinded with acid based on the Islamic law system of 'qisas,' or eye-for-an-eye retribution." But there's a catch:
Bahrami, who moved to Spain after the attack to get medical treatment, said Wednesday that under Iranian law, she is entitled to blind him in only one eye, unless she pays €20,000 ($25,110), because in Iran women are not considered equal to men.
"They have told us that my two eyes are equal to one of his because in my country each man is worth two women. They are not the same," she told Cadena SER.
Even if one is attracted to vivid methods of punishment, the idea that Majid is being treated with relative leniency because his victim is a woman is barbaric--an affront to both equality and chivalry.
Media Wars
Venezuela's thuggish socialist president, Hugo Chavez, is plotting his next power grab, Fox News suggests in a report from Caracas:
Addressing the nation on his weekly television show on Sunday, the Venezuelan president laid out plans for his next crusade, ordering his governors and mayors to draw up a "map of the media war" to determine which media are "in the hands of the oligarchy."
Chavez said that "if it weren't for the attack, the lies, manipulation and the exaggeration" of the private media networks, the Venezuelan government would have the support of at least 80 percent of the population. Recent polls have put Chavez's popularity at a little over 50 percent. . . .
Alberto Federico Ravell, director of Globovisión, a TV channel that is critical of Chávez, said he was concerned about the future of free speech in Venezuela.
"When a president talks of a map such as this, it's nothing less than a means to attack anyone who is against him," Ravell said. "Independent media is the only window that the Venezuelan people have to see what is really happening in the country."
Meanwhile in Washington, the Obama administration is fighting its own media war of sorts, Politico reports:
Top Democrats believe they have struck political gold by depicting Rush Limbaugh as the new face of the Republican Party, a full-scale effort first hatched by some of the most familiar names in politics and now being guided in part from inside the White House.
The strategy took shape after Democratic strategists Stanley Greenberg and James Carville included Limbaugh's name in an October poll and learned their longtime tormentor was deeply unpopular with many Americans, especially younger voters. Then the conservative talk-radio host emerged as an unapologetic critic of Barack Obama shortly before his inauguration, when even many Republicans were showering him with praise.
Soon it clicked: Democrats realized they could roll out a new GOP bogeyman for the post-Bush era by turning to an old one in Limbaugh, a polarizing figure since he rose to prominence in the 1990s.
A reader sent us the links to these two stories and urged us to "consider the similarities." But in some ways the differences are more illuminating. Whereas Chavez is threatening to use the power of the state to silence opposition, the Democrats are, in the classic free-speech manner, answering speech they find objectionable with more speech.
"Fairness Doctrine" talk notwithstanding, there is no serious threat to close Limbaugh down. Indeed, if the attacks on him are as useful to the Democrats as they say, to do so would be counter to their interests. And although Politico portrays the Democrats as enjoying great success against the Republicans with this tactic, Limbaugh himself is pleased as punch: "They are expanding my profile, expanding my audience and expanding my influence," he tells Politico in an email. Venezuelan opposition media are in no position to make such a boast.
Left-wingers should remember this for the next time they are out of power. During the Bush administration, they were constantly complaining that they were being censored, when in fact they were merely being criticized. Their oft-expressed fears of an antidemocratic Republican power grab turned out to be delusional as well. Voters tossed the GOP from power as soon as they concluded it had failed to deliver peace and prosperity.
There's a lesson there for President Obama as well. If he wants to be re-elected, the best thing he can do is quickly discard his economy-wrecking proposals. Whatever tactical advantage he may be enjoying from attacking a talk-show host, the 2012 election will be a referendum on Obama. As someone once observed, "We have real problems in this country right now and the American people are looking to us for answers, not distractions, not diversions, not manipulations."
Yeah, Tim! Get Those Tax Avoiders!
"Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said the U.S. government will mount an 'ambitious' program to crack down on companies that use offshore locales to avoid paying taxes," Bloomberg reports:
Closing loopholes and hunting tax evaders are especially important at a time when the economy is deteriorating and the government is running a record budget deficit, Geithner told the Senate Finance Committee.
We guess it was less important, just to pick some dates at random, back in 2001-04.

Orwell University
"Some students at Alveda King's speech Tuesday night did not expect a strictly literal interpretation of the advertised 'life affirming choices' speech," reports Central Michigan Life, student newspaper of Mount Pleasant's Central Michigan University:
The niece of Dr. Martin Luther King spoke out strongly against abortion at her "Can the Dream Survive?" presentation in Warriner Hall's Plachta Auditorium. Some students were surprised to learn that was the topic of her lecture. Several of the about 650-person audience walked out.
"I felt a little misled personally," said Flint senior Detrone Turner, who said he thought the speech was going to be about increasing diversity.
And of course the best way to increase "diversity" is by refusing to listen to anyone you disagree with.

Hot Cars
"An arsonist is on the prowl in Medford [Ore.] for green Ford Escorts from the 1990s," the Associated Press reports:
Three of them have been burned in recent weeks, a series that Medford police Sgt. Mike Budreau describes as "pretty bizarre."
A 1995 green Ford Escort was destroyed by flames early Sunday morning after someone broke a window and poured flammable liquid into it. A similar fire was set in a 1993 green Ford Escort parked in a driveway on Feb. 22.
Investigators have also uncovered a Feb. 2 case of a 1992 green Ford Escort damaged by a plastic container filled with flammable liquid placed next to a tire that burned without setting the car afire.
Budreau told the Mail Tribune newspaper in Medford, "I think this person really doesn't like Ford Escorts."
Well, Sarge, that's an interesting theory. But we have another one, inspired by "Beautiful Screamer," a 1970 episode of "Hawaii Five-O." Here's the plot summary from the Internet Movie Database:
Two women are strangled and portions of a poem are written, in lipstick, on their legs. The second is the girlfriend of Dan Williams. He is on edge, wanting to work on the case "or else it's going to work on me." Danno, however, beats up a person who knew his girlfriend before Kono and Chin Ho can stop him. It turns out the real killer is Walter Gregson, who really wants to kill his wife (a friend of the two dead women) and make it appear all the deaths were committed by a psychopath.
You see where we're going with this: Could it be that the Escorts are being burned by someone who is married to a Ford Escort and wants to evade suspicion in her death? If it turns out we're right, please send any reward money to us c/o The Wall Street Journal.

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall . . .
Bloomberg reports on a groundbreaking Dutch study published in the journal Alcohol and Alcoholism (it's not as fun a read as you might imagine):
[Rutger] Engels and other researchers recruited 18- to 29-year-old college students, asking them to bring a friend. They supplied 40 pairs of students--80 men in all--with free nuts, potato chips and a refrigerator stocked with beer, wine and soda within arm's reach.
The men were divided into four groups of 20. One group watched "American Pie 2" with commercial breaks showing alcohol, while another group watched the film with ads that didn't involve drinks. The remaining groups watched "40 Days and 40 Nights" with and without commercials featuring liquor.
The actors in "American Pie 2" drank liquor 18 times, and the movie showed alcohol another 23 times, the researchers said, while in "40 Days and 40 Nights" portrayed the beverages 15 times and showed characters drinking three times. The Dutch men said they liked the celibacy-themed Hartnett film more than the raunchy beach comedy.
All we can say is, if we're ever in a Dutch study in which they serve us Dutch courage, we hope it isn't a Dutch treat.

In 1982, Kenneth Cole decided to take a gamble; he went to Europe and spent most of his money designing a collection of shoes hoping to sell them back in the US. The costs involved in acquiring a place at the midtown Manhattan shoe trade show were too high, and Kenneth knew that even with a spot, his label would be lost amongst the hundreds of other aspiring designers, so he came up with a plan. After borrowing a 40-foot truck from a friend and creating a fictional film "the birth of a shoe store", he labeled his company "Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc", and obtained a permit from the mayor's office to park right outside the trade show. After two and a half days, Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc. sold 40,000 pairs of shoes and the rest is history.
Still named Kenneth Cole Productions, Inc. to this day, the brand has extended its line of products beyond the Kenneth Cole oxfords, Kenneth Cole pumps, and Kenneth Cole boots to include Kenneth Cole jackets, Kenneth Cole cardigans, Kenneth Cole skirts, Kenneth Cole pea coats, and Kenneth Cole suits. With a range of prices throughout the entire line of products, acquiring that Kenneth Cole style is attainable regardless of your financial situation. Reflecting a contemporary urban style that expresses the audacity of its namesake, Kenneth Cole is about taking risks, looking good, and asserting yourself.

Opening reception Saturday, June 4th, 2016 6pm to 9pm
Show runs through September 2016
801 Washington Avenue North, Minneapolis
Katayoun Amjadi
Katayoun explores themes of identity, perception, and interconnection in an increasingly globalized world. She often picks a popular cultural and historical symbol like a pomegranate or a Persian ibex and re-work it into new visual statements; creating a synthesis between a pictorial heritage of the past and the new language of contemporary art. In each work, the symbolism of iconic images serves as the background to her attempts to reconcile the relationship between past and present, tradition and modernity, and individual versus collective identity, as well as to inspire dialogue about our understanding of time and the tangled roots of our histories.
Qian Liu
Qian's work is inhabited by the self-destructive nature of relationships. The work is a meticulous collecting of mornings, of nights, of anxieties and of absurdities, signifying nothing else.
Jane Powers
The biomedical field holds a fascination for Jane. Through her sculptures, she is creating curious visions that consider future biomedical developments in genetic engineering, tissue culturing and xenotransplantation. She is asking, what technologies do we want to invest in and how will we choose to use them for healing and enhancing our human biology? In addition to "repairing" our bodies, how will we adopt these technologies to design/reinvent our "natural" bodies in order to project a personalized identity?
Mayumi Amada
Mayumi Amada is an installation artist from Japan. Her work explores women in a generational context and she uses a doily in various settings and materials as a vehicle for this investigation. Her recent work is focused on a circle of life and eternity in mortality.
Art at 801 Gallery, in 801 Lofts, promotes art to neighborhood residents and art lovers thru periodic openings and gallery presentations.

"Ooh look," he says. "They've got our plates!"
Wherever he might be, Arkley is these days always checking out the crockery. He's taken a strong interest since becoming non-executive chairman of Stoke-on-Trent manufacturer Steelite. You never know where their plates are going to turn up. And yes, he did once find them in a tent on the Serengeti.
Less surprisingly, though, you'll also find them in his pubs. Chameleon Bar & Dining comprises six destination food pubs run under management dotted across the north of England, a relatively modest venture for a man who, for more than 20 years, has played an active role in the development of the industry.
Following the Beer Orders of 1989, when Arkley was managing director of Camerons Brewery in Hartlepool, County Durham, he was among the first to spot an opportunity to create a new kind of tenanted pubco, independent of the brewers.
He raised £50m to form Century Inns, and after it went to feed the growing beast that was Enterprise Inns in 1999, he started all over again. New Century Inns (NCI) expanded to 49 pubs before it was bought in 2007 by Greene King for £32.6m, earning its in-vestors 20 times the cash they'd put into it.
While not unblemished — his Passionate Pub Company was a victim of the recession in 2010 — it's a persuasive track record that's earned Arkley the respect of the pub industry and beyond, especially in the Aberdonian's adopted north-east.
There he's been active in various bodies, including the regional development agency, with which he served while he had "time on my hands" following the Century Inns takeover.
It was at that time that Chameleon was born, almost by accident, as he explains.
"After Ted Tuppen unexpectedly took us over I bid for companies like Vaux but never quite got them. Competition was becoming fierce and we had to settle for being the under-bidder.
"New Century Inns was set up as a base to buy individual tenancies, but in 2000 we had the chance to buy three managed houses so we needed a business to run them — but it was only supposed to be while we were waiting to buy 1,000 pubs!"
Former Punch Taverns man Phil Strong, who had teamed up with Arkley to make the big acquisition that never happened, became managing director of the set-up, then named Chameleon Pub Company, and Barry Whitehead, who had worked alongside Arkley since the early days, was drafted in to handle the finance side.
"We had 10 other pubs leased out at the time but they were run as entirely separate businesses. It was quite striking to see both sides of things — as a landlord and a tenant.
"We sold NCI in 2007 just before the property crash," he continues.
"It was exceptionally good timing. We had three big companies bidding for us at the same time. We kept Chameleon going and moved to buying freeholds."
There are currently three freeholds and three leaseholds — with Greene King, Thwaites and Marston's.
"We'll be buying more, but we're keen to get it right. We want to get to six or eight freeholds and improve the quality of what we do — make them bigger businesses turnover-wise and more focused as destination food places based on local sourcing and a nice ambience."
Broadening horizons
But these days pubs are only one facet of Arkley's interests. "I'm always keen to do other things and, as time goes on, I'm going more 'plural'," he says. "Somebody buys your business and you've got to work out what to do with the money, how to spread your risk."
As well as the crockery he's become a business angel, investing in a diverse range of sectors through Hotspur Capital Partners, "which is into eight or nine businesses for £10m".
"Anything that's hospitality, though, I do directly."
At the moment he's enthusiastic about an EPoS application that helps pub chains to sell more effectively by drilling down into sales patterns and highlighting the quirks.
"Pub retailing needs to be more like that," he says. The system is 'on test' with a certain pub operator thanks to Arkley's intervention.
"I'm opening doors, buying people dinners," he says. "I also like the intellectual challenges of things like this. I find it interesting. It's quite exciting — but not risk-free."
His angel status fits well, too, with his broader activities promoting enterprise in the north-east.
"I was always a do-gooder on the side, in local government and this and that. But I was always trying to buy a big business."
There's one sector that, for the time being at least, is ruled out.
Arkley seems saddened by the problems the tenanted trade has got into since he left it.
"There used to a logic to the pubco business model, but it's changed in recent years."
He believes the opportunities created by the Beer Orders, which Arkley himself pioneered, were soured by the securitisation of debt, as pubcos expanded through loans guaranteed on the back of future rental income.
"It brought an escalation of pub prices and a bubble in values in 2007. The model worked fine at the beginning. There was enough margin to share, but then it got too tight for the pubcos. Pub prices went through the roof, they were double-digit multiples of earnings and that was unsustainable.
"And pubcos failed to take into account the sustainability of the tenant. They forced them to keep going in the pub when they should have dropped the rent or freed them from the tie. So people went bust and rental values fell."
Arkley compares the way big pubcos behaved in the debt crisis to the way banks behaved when the credit crunch hit, stifling investment in pubs.
"Decision-making was pulled up through the organisation. It became incredibly bureaucratic and quite frustrating.
"Now there's a low level of trust between landlord and tenant," he says. "The sad thing is the lack of goodwill. There's not a lot of evidence of partnership, though it's not so bad in smaller companies.
"I'd be wary of taking a long lease now. We have a tenancy with Thwaites so we can get out of it more easily."
Arkley is encouraged by the "more savvy" people taking a leasetenancy now, and he believes that while returns might be lower, they can at least be enough to make businesses sustainable.
"Pubcos have still got to get the balance right in the deal, and I think they should allow tenants to leave the pub at rent review. Then you'll get a proper negotiation. I question the independence of valuers and arbitrators when it comes to assessing rents.
"I don't think I'd do a tenanted pubco again," he adds. "You move on. But there could be opportunities. Things are cyclical. The right pub at the right price with the right tenant could make money."

It's transfer deadline day at last and clubs will stop at nothing to grab themselves a bargain or a quick fix to any team woes they may have suffered early in the season. The beautiful thing about the English Premier League is the hype and drama that seems to follow players from every team in the league.
The Gary Cahill saga is nowhere near an end, Chelsea are trying to swoop in any potential deal for a midfielder and Spurs boss Harry Redknapp simply wants anyone as long as they're a bargain.
With the transfer window open until 11 pm tonight, there's a few precious hours to get fees negotiated, contracts sorted and medicals past. Otherwise, it could be a very long four months until the transfer window pops back open again in January and players all have their prices booted up.
So here are five deals in the making that could happen before the deadline tonight.

Still hoping for last-minute funding from the legislature, SEPTA's board approved a one-month budget Thursday to keep the transit agency operating through July.
Regardless of what the legislature does, though, fares will go up for SEPTA riders Monday. The board approved the fare increases in May.
SEPTA officials said they hoped a new state transportation-funding measure would be approved in Harrisburg this week to provide enough money to pay for the next 11 months of the fiscal year.
"I don't know what's going on there," said SEPTA Chairman Pasquale T. "Pat" Deon Sr. He said SEPTA "continues to have serious concerns with respect to both timing and the level of funding for transit" after a House committee vote Thursday.

Mr. Ginensky died of heart failure, said his daughter, Amy Ginensky. His wife, Evelyn, who was 91, died in November.
They married on July 6, 1944. During the war, he met his future wife through a cousin who was dating one of Evelyn's sisters.
"My father thought she was too young-looking," but on a second date, he reconsidered, his daughter said. After a third date, he called her at a beauty parlor and proposed marriage, "and he wouldn't get off the phone until she said yes."

20th anniversary of Jennings theatre company sees original cast in re-staging of first production
JENNINGS - A little over 20 years ago, a group of people banded together to bring live theater to the little town of Jennings.
The group was given permission to use the historic Strand Theatre on Main Street, and it set about changing the venue from "silver screen" to a "stage-based" format.
The group named itself "A Block Off Broadway Community Theatre" (ABOB) because the Strand just happens to be one block off of a Jennings street, coincidentally named "Broadway."
ABOB's first live performance was 20 years ago this fall, and to honor this monumental 20th anniversary, ABOB is presenting a re-staging of its first play, the Pulitzer Prize winning story "You Can't Take It With You" by Kaufman and Hart.
The story takes place in the late 1930s and is about the Sycamores, a madcap, loving, eccentric family that crosses paths with the well-off, stuffy Kirbys when their children, Alice and Tony, fall in love.
Colin Fake, who directed the play 20 years ago, returns as the director.
Original cast members Carl Benoit and John Baker are also returning – Benoit as "Grandpa Sycamore," and Baker in the role he played 20 years ago, "Mr. DePinna."
They are joined by Glenetta Shuey, Terry LeJeune, David Janise, Latesha Onellion, Felicia Simar, John Louviere, Gayle Jones, Corey Howard, Brownie Goodreau, Ronnie Petrie, Andrea Louviere, Addie Byrd, Johnny Byrd, Angie Blanchard and Alex Johnson in the fun of presenting these two families and the interesting eccentricities and stuffiness of their differing lifestyles.
Show dates are Thursday, Sept. 26, at 7 p.m.; Friday, Sept. 27, at 7 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 5, at 7 p.m.; and Sunday, Oct. 6, at 2 p.m.
Tickets prices are $12 for adults and $10 for children up to 12 years of age and adults 60 and over.
Tickets are on sale at the Strand, 432 N. Main St. in Jennings.
For more information call 337-824-5509 or visit ABOB's website at http://ablockoffbroadway.com/.

Before you can run, you have to learn how to walk.
Palo Duro's Dons spent the first two years under Steve Parr just trying to get their feet under them. However, the Dons broke into a sprint with the very first game of the year en route to Palo Duro's first state quarterfinals appearance since 1974.
Parr, the Palo Duro head coach, is the 2001 Panhandle Sports Hall of Fame football coach of the year after bringing Palo Duro back to the playoffs for the first time since 1992.
In Childress, Michael Brisco helped give Charlie Johnston a final season to remember as Brisco ran wild to lead the Bobcats to the playoffs. Brisco gained more than 2,000 yards in 10 games last season and is the PSHOF football player of the year.
"We felt going into the year that we had the makings of a good football team," Parr said. "We had great commitment in the off-season. The kids' work ethic was tremendous, and we (coaching staff) and the kids had really bonded together. We didn't know exactly how good we would be until after the first game."
That first game presented the Dons with the springboard to their quarterfinal run. Palo Duro beat cross-town rival Amarillo High 20-14. That win was the first by the Dons against the Sandies since 1990. Palo Duro eventually finished the season 11-2, sharing the District 3-4A title and tying a school record for victories in a season.
"The big thing for us was that win against Amarillo High," Parr said. "That gave us some confidence for the rest of the season. The last time we had beaten Amarillo High was when this group of seniors was in the second grade. That was a big moment for the kids. They saw that all that hard work and effort over the off-season had paid off.
"We got up on them 20-0 early, but Amarillo High showed what kind of team they were and came back on us and had a chance to win at the end, but we were fortunate enough to come out on top. That really energized the kids and the whole program for the rest of the year. We grew up a lot during that one ball game. We learned how to handle adversity and how to win against a quality opponent."
The Dons' return to the playoffs was a long journey back. In 1999, Palo Duro went winless in 10 games during Parr's first season. In 2000, Palo Duro won just three games, with two of them coming in district play.
Palo Duro returned 23 seniors, eight offensive and eight defensive starters for the 2001 season. That returning experience made Palo Duro a team to watch in 3-4A. However, few believed the Dons could win the district title.
After beating Amarillo High, the Dons reeled off six more wins before falling to Hereford in district play. Despite the start, Palo Duro did not clinch a playoff berth until the final weeks. District 3-4A was an extremely balanced league with Hereford, Borger, Randall and Pampa all battling for playoff contention.
"Every game all year long was a critical, critical matchup. We couldn't afford to lose anything and that made the year so exciting," Parr said.
Childress missed the playoffs in 2000. So when the Bobcats suited up for the 2001 season, they placed their return to the postseason at the top of their list of goals. Since most of Childress strongly suspected longtime head coach Charlie Johnston would announce his retirement at the end of the season, the Bobcats wanted to send their mentor out on a good note.
Brisco was a one-man wrecking ball for Childress. He rushed for 2,087 yards and scored 32 touchdowns. In the secondary on defense, he made 81 total tackles, including 62 solos.
Brisco is expected to sign with Texas Tech on Wednesday.
He was named first-team all-state by the Associated Press Sports Editors, and was the Globe-News offensive player of the year.
Childress went 9-1 and finished tied for first in District 1-3A. The Bobcats eventually fell in overtime to Muleshoe in the bi-district playoffs.
Brisco's biggest game of the season coincided with the Bobcats' biggest game. Against Perryton, Brisco ran for 257 yards and three touchdowns. His 70-yard burst on the first play of the third period set the stage for the Bobcats 40-7 whipping of the Rangers.

How legal is medical marijuana in New Mexico?
By Simon McCormack
On Sept. 4, Leonard French had some unexpected visitors.
When he opened his door, French came face-to-face with Eddy County Sheriff's deputies, who said they wanted to see his marijuana. French, a Malaga, New Mexico, resident who suffers from chronic back pain, showed the deputies his supply and a license from the New Mexico Health Department that allows him to possess medical marijuana. The deputies took French's marijuana and left.

Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: Israel--Earthquakes are gay. At least that's what a member of Israel's parliament believes. Six earthquakes have hit Israel and the neighboring nations of Lebanon and Jordan in recent months. Shlomo Benizri, of the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Shas party, has suggested the tremors are being caused by his country's liberal laws on homosexuality. The Israeli parliament, or Knesset, decriminalized homosexuality in 1988 and has passed several laws on the subject since, including decisions to recognize same-sex marriages carried out abroad and granting inheritance rights and other benefits held by married couples to gay partnerships. Two weeks ago, to the outrage of the religious right, the country's attorney general, Meni Mazuz, ruled same-sex couples should be allowed to adopt children. In what Mr. Benizri believes is no coincidence, an earthquake struck the region two days later. "Why do earthquakes happen?" Benizri said during a parliamentary debate on earthquake preparedness. "One of the reasons is the things to which the Knesset gives legitimacy, to sodomy." Benizri told his fellow legislators the most cost-effective way of preventing future earthquakes was to stop "passing legislation on how to encourage homosexual activity in the state of Israel, which anyway brings about earthquakes." The London Telegraph quoted Benizri as saying, "God says you shake your genitals where you are not supposed to and I will shake my world in order to wake you up."

Constant discharge after surgery of pilonidal cyst
Q: I had a Pilonidal cyst removed july14and on july 27 my mom removed the stitches because my appointment wasn't till aug10 and then it started to ooze and i went to the office he slapped a gauge pad on it and said its going to do that for at least 2 weeks and all i do now is change pads and aspirin is this normal
A: Without a physical examination, it is difficult to tell if you are healing as you should. A constant discharge of fluid from the operation site could suggest that there is an infection. This can only be treated by frequent dressing changes and appropriate antibiotics. There is also the possibility that a portion of the cyst was left behind . This would explain the constant drainage from the wound. You should be sure to inform your doctor of your current symptoms so that he/she may address them accordingly.

We'll forgive you for mistaking Jonathan Trappe for Carl Fredriksen of the Pixar movie UP. Like Fredriksen, Trappe is a "cluster balloonist" who likes to fly around the world with a bunch of balloons. He's attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean soon. To promote his upcoming trip, Trappe teamed up with Casasyes to make another real life version of the Up House for the Leon International Balloon festival in Mexico. Yes, a house that actually flies with balloons. Though we saw National Geographic already pull off that stunt, it always brings a smile to my soul when we're recreating Pixar movies.

Not worth the money. Stick to IRobot
I previously had an IRobt Roomba which I loved and used for several years...almost daily. My first floor is hardwood and I have found it necessary to run the vacuum daily to keep the floors looking great. This was no substitute for the "real deal". I have since purchased the IRobot again and am very satisified. I will never attempt to get a cheaper version. There is nothing saved.
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Poor. Broke within 60 days

Sorry there are no shows for Happy Mondays right now.
What people are saying about Happy Mondays
Rated 1 out of 5 by Pkot66 from No effort A band going through the motions for the money - one hour is not a gig.
Date published: 2016-09-18
Rated 4 out of 5 by FlyDi from Regained my youth for one night. It's was a fantastic atmosphere on the pier watching Happy Monday's last night. Shaun and Rowetta were in fine voice and Bez was the highlight of the whole night. We couldn't believe how great he looked and so fit. He should bring out a dancing keep fit DVD! What a laugh and great to see them at such a brilliant venue. Thoroughly enjoyed it as did everyone I think from the surrounding smiling faces.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Go cat from Blinding show Had such a fun time, soaking wet but great dancing in the rain. The happy mondays were awesome just gutted they come back on for an encore. Maybe they were knackered by then being such an upbeat high performance. The crowd were great and friendly.

Rated 1 out of 5 by kernow11 from A bit of an anti-climax I expected concert to last longer one and a half hours seemed short. I wanted some of the tunes to have lasted longer. It felt like they were just going through the motions. Drink prices were ridiculous.
Date published: 2016-09-20
Rated 3 out of 5 by Helenandbez from Nice venue but exorbitant bar prices on pier. Event good would have liked Happy Mondays to have played for longer though. Ridiculous bar prices on pier - £4.50 for a small bottle of beer/ cider.

It was part football game and part morality play, and frankly, it wasn't much of either. When it was over, when Donovan McNabb had managed his new team to a 17-12 win over his old team, there was more relief than glee.
It had been a long week, with years of built-up energy and tension giving way to a geyser of hype. McNabb was coming back to face the team that had traded him, to face off against the friend, Michael Vick, who had replaced him.

Do Boxing and Fencing share a History?
I have noticed fencing has a similar stance to boxing stance and the way they come at you with there swords is similar to a jab.
Anyway, I am curios to know if they shared a history.
I know Daniel Mendoza was a guy who gave boxing a bit of science and so I love the history of boxing and how it evolved to a high level martial art.

Yeah boxing was supposedly fencing without a sword. Back in the day there were three sciences: gun duelling, fencing and boxing. Boxing was called the sweet science because it was the most non-lethal. Boxing and fencing were also in competition with each other at some point and people used to say fencing would kill boxing some day.

Boxing goes back to ancient Greece and probably ancient Egypt. So it was it's own thing at one point before fencing I would say.

U.S. Considers Threat Posed if Islamists Establish State
Intelligence Officials Search for Vulnerabilities of Islamic State
WASHINGTON—U.S. officials assessing the Islamic State have begun considering the implications posed by a breakaway extremist state in the Middle East, a reflection of the gravity with which intelligence experts now view the group's advance across Iraq and Syria.
Intelligence officials also are scouring for vulnerabilities in the group, including those that could emerge as the group amasses land, manpower and weaponry in its question to establish a state.
If the militants are able to hold their territorial gains in the long term, officials said the greatest concern is that the de facto extremist state would provide a base for plotting outside the region, including against the U.S.
Securing an extremist state in the Middle East would provide "footholds to attack every apostate government in sight," a U.S. intelligence official said.
It would also legitimize the struggle of Islamist extremists, in their eyes, since before the September 2001 attacks, U.S. officials said. That would aid in recruitment and give the group further momentum and potency.
The growth of the group also presents the challenge for others of dealing with significant humanitarian consequences. Islamic State militants have said they seek to exterminate any groups that aren't of like mind, and acted on that by laying siege to thousands of people of the Yazidi religious sect in northern Iraq this month and killing some of them.
Establishing a state would provide a foundation for launching more potentially genocidal operations, something that could bring pressure on the U.S. for more interventions to prevent humanitarian disaster.
"This is a really very different phenomenon," said Bruce Hoffman, a professor at Georgetown University specializing in terrorism issues. "It has the kinetic power, the recruiting power, and the finances that, unchecked, are just going to continue to grow."
With an eye toward the alarming implications, U.S. intelligence officials said they are assessing the group's vulnerabilities and how to exploit them.
Those vulnerabilities include their self-financing. The Islamic State runs a self-sustaining economy that relies on income from oil piracy and extortion, according to Arab and Western officials. But its financial stability as a de facto state could come under strain as the group has to pay salaries to its growing militant ranks and administer the cities it has overtaken, intelligence officials said.
The group also relies on extortion among the population in its territory, governing through fear. Such tactics could alienate the group's local Sunni allies.
The group fell out of favor with another former ally already: al Qaeda, which disowned Islamic State because of its extreme brutality. Intelligence officials point to the controversy Islamic State militants have stirred among some Islamist extremists as a potential vulnerability.
In additional to al Qaeda leaders, a number of other prominent Islamic radicals have spoken out against the group.
Establishing a state, or caliphate, was a point of dissension between the group and al Qaeda's leadership. After breaking with al Qaeda in February over leadership issues, Islamic State militants said in June that they were forming a caliphate, a decision seen by experts as out of step with al Qaeda's leaders, who wanted to wait to make that move.
Intelligence officials are assessing the impact the U.S. bombing campaign and humanitarian-aid deliveries are having on the organization. President Barack Obama said on Thursday that the administration is still developing a strategy for dealing with the Islamic State in territory it has captured in Syria, its base.
American airstrikes combined with Kurdish military action succeeded in pushing Islamic State fighters away from the Mosul Dam in Iraq this month.
"Now their [militants'] strategy is going to be to compensate for whatever setbacks they have had due to the limited airstrikes but also take advantage of the U.S. intervention that plays into their narrative," Mr. Hoffman said. The killing of U.S. journalist James Foley appeared to be an example of just such a response, he said.

Oshkosh expands, increases share buyback

Climate change is here, even if election skipped it
Neither climate change nor the wacky weather of 2012 stirred much attention during the presidential campaign - a couple of conflicting snippets during the political conventions, a brief line in President Barack Obama's election night victory speech, a mention here or there.
But climate scientists say the record warm weather of the past year, punctuated by extreme events such as superstorm Sandy in the Northeast, provides a glimpse of things to come and should push the issue higher on the list of national priorities. »Read Full Article(648)

Projects/Internships/Weekly Report 06 20 2014
From OWASP
Revision as of 18:08, 20 June 2014 by Kait Disney-Leugers (Talk | contribs)
Currently Working On
- AppSec EU:
- With AppSec EU starting next week, this week has been super crazy busy. I have been keeping my normal tweet schedule of 10am - 8pm GDT. I've been keeping track of the retweets and mentions on Hootsuite, and there is some good buzz begin generated about the conference.
- Anyone one Facebook as seen me bombard the page with plenty of conference related posts. I will be making one last push on Facebook over the weekend, and then probably won't post anything again until we get closer to AppSec USA, in which the whole cycle will start again.
- To go along with social media, I will be posting tweets throughout the conference next week. While my tweeting schedule will not be so staunch per day, I will try to highlight sessions happening and I'm sure we'll get a hashtag started for the conference.
- Project Summit:
- Today, we ran into some problems with the Project Summit wiki page. One of the session that was planned was not on the schedule by mistake and the session was removed from the wiki page as well. The session was returned to the Project Summit wiki pages and I created the session on Sched.org for the conference schedule, after Johanna gave me open time slot.
- The wiki pages are now updated and I'm waiting to hear from Jonathan about adding links to the live stream for the sessions, so I can add those links to the wiki page.
- Women in AppSec:
- The winner for AppSec EU was selected and announced on the website. I posted her bio to the Facebook page, as well as generated tweets to announce the winner.
- The future of the Women in AppSec Program has been a uncertain. Since this was the first project I worked on with OWASP, I have been talking with Mark Majors about getting the Women in AppSec Program at AppSec USA 2014. After speaking with Sarah, we have decided that the Women in AppSec Program should be carried out by the conference team and volunteers. I decided I would like to start part of the Women in AppSec Program, but I will do so as a volunteer, rather than it being part of my internship or contract work. Since I already have the materials created that are needed for a conference committee, I will be happy to share that with conference teams and volunteers.
- Contract Work:
- In addition to my internship, I am doing some contract work with OWASP. While my internship focuses on projects related tasks, my contract work focuses more on work with sponsors and partner contracts and deduping on Salesforce.
Lessons Learned
- The week before a conference, everyone is crazy and every thing that can go wrong, will go wrong.
- I used the event creation for Sched for the first time and found it incredibly easy to use. I thought I would have some issues, but that was not the case.
- Johanna has been a major help with everything project related. I have been learning a lot with her and she is wonderful to work with. She always answers any questions I have thoroughly. She is going to be teaching me to use JIRA, and I will be doing more with projects with her.
Additional Comments
Have fun in Cambridge everyone! I will be state-side, and ready to answer any questions anybody has about anything.
