The Islamic State just released a gruesome new beheading video, again helmed by a western-bred Jihadist. As often happens, I received messages asking for explanation.
You see, I'm the jihadi who never was.
Twenty years ago, I ditched my Catholic high school in upstate New York to study at a Saudi-funded madrassa in Pakistan. A fresh convert, I jumped at the chance to live at a mosque and study Qur'an all day.
This was in the mid-1990s, during an escalation of the Chechen resistance against Russian rule. After class, we'd turn on the television and watch feeds of destruction and suffering. The videos were upsetting. So upsetting that soon I found myself thinking about abandoning my religious education to pick up a gun and fight for Chechen freedom.
It wasn't a verse I'd read in our Qur'an study circles that made me want to fight, but rather my American values. I had grown up in the Reagan '80s. I learned from G.I. Joe cartoons to (in the words of the theme song) "fight for freedom, wherever there's trouble." I assumed that individuals had the right — and the duty — to intervene anywhere on the planet where they perceived threats to freedom, justice and equality.
For me, wanting to go to Chechnya wasn't reducible to my "Muslim rage" or "hatred for the West." This may be hard to believe, but I thought about the war in terms of compassion. Like so many Americans moved by their love of country to serve in the armed forces, I yearned to fight oppression and protect the safety and dignity of others.
I believed that this world was in bad shape. I placed my faith in somewhat magical solutions claiming that the world could be fixed by a renewal of authentic Islam and a truly Islamic system of government. But I also believed that working toward justice was more valuable than my own life.

Demonstrators chant slogans as they carry al-Qa'ida flags in front of the provincial government headquarters in Mosul, 225 miles (360 kilometers) northwest of Baghdad. In the week since it captured Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, a Muslim extremist group has tried to win over residents and has stopped short of widely enforcing its strict brand of Islamic law, residents say. Churches remain unharmed and street cleaners are back at work
Eventually, I decided to stay in Islamabad. And the people who eventually convinced me not to fight weren't the kinds of Muslims propped up in the media as liberal, West-friendly reformers. They were deeply conservative; some would call them "intolerant." In the same learning environment in which I was told that my non-Muslim mother would burn in eternal hellfire, I was also told that I could achieve more good in the world as a scholar than as a soldier, and that I should strive to be more than a body in a ditch. These traditionalists reminded me of Muhammad's statement that the ink of scholars was holier than the blood of martyrs.
The media often draw a clear line between our imagined categories of "good" and "bad" Muslims. My brothers in Pakistan would have made that division much more complicated than some could imagine. These men whom I perceived as superheroes of piety, speaking to me as the authorized voice of the tradition itself, said that violence was not the best that I could offer.
Some kids in my situation seem to have received different advice.
It's easy to assume that religious people, particularly Muslims, simply do things because their religions tell them to. But when I think about my impulse at age 17 to run away and become a fighter for the Chechen rebels, I consider more than religious factors. My imagined scenario of liberating Chechnya and turning it into an Islamic state was a purely American fantasy, grounded in American ideals and values.
Whenever I hear of an American who flies across the globe to throw himself into freedom struggles that are not his own, I think, What a very, very American thing to do.
And that's the problem. We are raised to love violence and view military conquest as a benevolent act. The American kid who wants to intervene in another nation's civil war owes his worldview as much to American exceptionalism as to jihadist interpretations of scripture. I grew up in a country that glorifies military sacrifice and feels entitled to rebuild other societies according to its own vision. I internalized these values before ever thinking about religion. Before I even knew what a Muslim was, let alone concepts such as "jihad" or an "Islamic state," my American life had taught me that that's what brave men do.

Location description from owner
The Canary Islands region
Tenerife is the largest of the Canary Islands situated off the North west coast of Africa and due to its constant good weather, excellent beaches (12 Blue Flag) and spectacular natural beauty it attracts over 3 million visitors every year.
It is confusing for first-time visitors to decide where to stay, so below is an overview of the major resorts in the South of the island. The list starts in the west and heads east past Tenerife Sur (Reina Sofia) Airport (the main airport for the South). This is followed by a short overview of the tourist areas in the north of the island.
Los Gigantes - At the tip of the west coast this quiet town gets its name from the giant cliffs (Acantilados de los Gigantes) that border the town and are only accessible by boat. Geared towards tourism it consists mainly of hotels and apartments and offers a variety of English bars some with live entertainment and others more suited for that quiet relaxing drink. A few restaurants offering excellent international cuisine and the usual favourites such as burgers or fish & chips. It has a black sand beach that is small but safe for swimming and surfing and is rarely crowded. There is a busy harbour where you can find a choice of water based excursions including boat trips up towards Masca, diving and scuba diving excursions and various water sports. Los Gigantes is a beautiful area and favoured by the more mature couples due to its peaceful atmosphere. Due to the hilly nature of this resort, it may not be suitable for those with walking difficulties. To visit other parts of the island, a car is recommended.Puerto de la Cruz - is the main tourist resort of the north of the island, and before the motorway and new airport in the south, was the largest holiday resort on Tenerife. Its history dates back as a small fishing village and port to the larger town of La Orotava. Many of the town's squares, churches and old houses date back to that time. Tourism started in the 1960s with visitors coming from the cruise ships docking in Santa Cruz. As package holidays became available in the 1970s, Puerto de la Cruz became a popular holiday resort. Puerto is known as Tenerife's sophisticated resort; filled with lush, tropical vegetation and resolutely Canarian in character, it's suited to those looking for Tenerife culture.
Compared to the purpose-built resorts, Puerto presents a very different picture. Outside of the hotels, bars and restaurants, English is not widely spoken and very little of the nightlife is based around live entertainment, karaoke or 'tribute' acts. The Canarios prefer to relax over a bottle of wine in one of the many bars that fill Puerto's plazas and old cobbled streets.Although the months of October to March see many retired British and Germans over-wintering in Puerto (as indeed they do in other resorts), the town's resident population is certainly not in the same 'mature' bracket and Puerto remains lively throughout the year. The summer months are particularly busy with Spanish mainlanders, many of them under 30, and this is when the town's nightlife is at its most lively. Today there are many 4 star hotels situated along the traffic-free promenade and there are a large number of shops and boutiques to suit all pockets. Puerto has a vast wealth of excellent restaurants, to cater for all tastes and budgets.
The town's main beach of Playa Jardín (the garden beach) is a beautiful black sand beach at the western edge of town, backed by extensive landscaped gardens with views to Mount Teide. Along the promenade is the magnificent swimming pool complex of Lago Martiánez which has six pools, including a wonderful kiddies area with a giant octopus and little waterfalls and a vast lake beneath which the town's Casino is located. Any holiday should not be complete without a visit to the world famous Loro Parque, which no one of any age should miss. A free road-train takes visitors from the centre of town. For those who love carnival, the town comes alive in February with many visitors and locals alike enjoying a week of good spirit and friendship.
he average temperature in winter rarely drops below 20° C (70° F) in the day; hardly 'cold' by UK standards. The sunshine hours are slightly less than the south of the island and the months of July or August can be humid and cloudy.
However, it does rain more here than in the south which is why it's so green and fertile. February and November tend to be the rainy months.
Puerto de la Cruz
La Orotava is probably one of the prettiest towns in Tenerife . Full of historical buildings, wooden balconies, flower filled plazas and narrow streets. Here the locals live and shop in main shopping streets and hidden squares. To the south of the town is the new indoor shopping centre 'La Villa'. Here there are many well-known high-street stores, eating houses, and a multi-screen cinema. The town is noted for the Corpus Christi celebrations when the locals fill the streets with art, by covering them in stunning carpets of made from flowers and volcanic sand. On one side of La Orotava Valley are the mountains and on the coast (El Rincòn) there are at least three beaches El Bollullo, Los Patos and Ancon.

"Exceptional stay - very recommendable!!!"
We stayed 14 days in this villa and enjoyed it very much. The local hosts helped out with any questions we had. Furthermore, we were able to benefit from the avocados and bananas which the gardener collected for us from the surrounding garden. The location is amazing. The beach is not far and you can walk to Puerto de la Cruz. Furthermore, a very nice restaurant is down the street in walking distance in case you don´t want to cook. The villa itself is very spacious and in the master bedroom you even find a waterbed. The jacuzzi is perfect for the winter when the pool is too cold. It was a perfect vacation location for us.

If you want to take in more of the Smokies, a scenic drive down the Foothills Parkway or around to Gatlinburg by way of the mountain and by the river to see the amazing forest, gentle waterfalls, birds and wildlife. Be refreshed in the spring with flowering trees and shrubs of rhododendrons, dogwoods, red buds and wild flowers. Summer fishing, floating, picnicking or even swimming at the 'Y'!

John is from a family ranch in Kansas and this year we will have been married 30 years. From the country life of home grown food, fresh milk and eggs, our families heritage has surely changed in the last two generations as it has in yours.

Mstislav Rostropovich: The Legend of Class 19
by Elizabeth Wilson
Faber £25, pp382
Mstislav 'Slava' Rostropovich, who recently celebrated his 80th birthday, is more than the undisputed cellist of his generation. He is also a man of great conscience and courage who was willing to speak out when the party turned against fellow artists.
Born in Baku, Azerbaijan in 1927, Rostropovich was a child prodigy whose youth was a procession of prestigious first prizes; and he is a witty, jocular, singular personality. But he is, too, as Elizabeth Wilson's new biography goes to great lengths to corroborate, a uniquely gifted and inspirational 'teacher of genius'.
It is this aspect of his life that is the focal point of Wilson's biography, in particular Rostropovich's 29-year teaching career at the Moscow Conservatoire. From 1964 to 1971, she studied under him, in his famous 'Class 19', while her father was Britain's ambassador to Russia, and it is this connection that gives the reader an insider's view, and one that is slightly clouded by sycophantic adoration.
In order to describe Rostropovich as a teacher and better explain the artistic principles he divulged to his pupils, Wilson includes more than a mere account of his pedagogical approach. She describes his origins, outlines his formative influences and early career, details his fruitful collaborations with Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Britten, among others, and attempts to capture and rationalise the unique aspects of his musical personality. These separate elements are not all rendered with equal success.
It is as a textbook that this biography is most successful. It is written for connoisseurs, with unapologetic technical argot that some may find alienating. But the analytical musical passages are the most effective and they suit Wilson's detached, essayistic style. The anecdotes are less artfully dealt with, and the best are told in the first person by the 'inspired raconteur', Rostropovich himself.
The flow of the prose is routinely interrupted by other voices, some considerably less eloquent than others. These interpolations are printed in large chunks, prefaced by a colon, rather than built into the fabric of Wilson's prose. While the book is rich in memorable anecdotes and invaluable didactic principles, its disjointed rendition leaves one a little unsatisfied. The style is out of synch with the subject. It's a bit like hearing Rachmaninoff played on a harpsichord: there's much to appreciate but something is missing.

Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by BUFFSROCKS, Sep 4, 2007.
From the article:
Uh, what? Discipline, integrity and work ethic? This is said about the guy that gives sideline throat slashes? Calls other team's fans ****ing hillbillies? And generally has does not give meaningful suspensions to top players when it sure seems like they should be warranted? Give me a break...
Clownahan is a joke of a coach :thumbsup:
Yet I bet you would call Hawk a success if he is at the same place Cally is, three years in to the job.
I call him a joke because of the things he's done. I call him a joke because he was a Raider flunky who's team nearly revolted on him. I call him a joke because the guy actually did a throat slash gesture towards an official. I call him a joke because he calls other team's fans ****ing hillbillies.
And, I'll hold my judgment of Cally be "successful" or not until after this season. Sorry, but up to this point in his time at NU, I don't think Cally has been a success.
Like I said, if Hawk is at the same point after three years, I bet you consider him a success.
Serious question here. What if USC comes in and slaps Neb by 40 (don't think its going to happen, but always a possibility) and they loose to UT or OU big. Do you think that Neb fans will still be ok with the extension?
No, people will be pissed if that happens.
Sweet. Cally is mediocre, at best. He's what 20-15 v. DI teams? NU used to have the bar set a lot higher than that. He can stay a long as he likes IMO.
I thouroughly embrace the idea of cally being around an extra three years. :thumbsup:
yeah, next time he beats a good team will be the first.
Cally seems like a real disingenuous jerk, to me. anybody seen the youtube of Cally's blow-by "handshake" with Stoopsie after the throat-slash game?
Anybody have a link to this "throat-slash" gesture? I've never seen it, was wondering why everyone commented on this
Of course we would. But at the same time, it is possible to be a successful football coach, and have a little class at the same time. Calling fans of another school "****ing hillbillies," refusing to suspend student athletes who commit crimes/team violations, etc. are things that no football fan should be proud of, Nebraska fans included.
HillBilly Slashahan is a jerk. i would have waited until the end of the season to decide whether or nor to extend his contract....i guess pounding powerhouse Nevada is enough.
What has Cally done that makes you think he's so successful and that I'll think Hawkins was successful if at the same point? Maybe I'm missing what has been happening at NU. Are you referencing the B12 N crown? I don't think he's done anything else that would make me consider his time at NU to be a success. Sorry. Maybe this year is different and NU really takes off, but I'll wait and actually see how things play out.
For your viewing pleasure:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9l7NvSRouFw"]YouTube - Bill Callahan Throat Slash vs. Oklahoma[/ame]
Brief Article:
Actually, I wouldnt consider him successful yet. I would say he has taken steps to success, but is not there yet. My point is CU fans ragging on him is a bit hypocritical.
Nice, what a ****ing class act.
Are there some CU fans out there who are proclaiming the Buffs have risen to the top of the conference? Are there some CU fans out there who would favor CU in a game against USC? Are you aware of some actions of Dan Hawkins which would in some way relate to Callahan? Did Hawkins make a throat slash gesture? Did Hawkins call fans of one of his biggest opponents "****ing hillbillies?" About the worst thing that can be said of Hawkins is that he is a bit goofy sometimes and he can go crazy on occasion re: his "Go play intramurals, brother" speech. I also don't remember Hawkins taking any light punishments on his players. Quite the opposite, in fact. the fact is -- Hawkins has been 110% class since he's been at CU.
What behavior of CU fans would you consider hypocritical, in relation to the way myopic Husker fans have acted about Callahan?
If I am not mistaken, Solich was fired for the same "success" that Cally has barely matched... once.
Couldn't have said it any better.
I would say its hypocritical to call someone a clown of a coach given the results he has had on the field versus their team.
As far as the throat slash and effin hillbillies, was that dumb of him, yep. But in reality it was just a blip on the cfb radar.
Considering the reaction on this board...this is a very good move for NU.
wtf does being a clown in his actions have to do with beating CU? I call him a clown based on his actions while being a "leader" of young men. Being a coach involves more than just beating CU, or so I thought, but I guess that beating CU has increased in priority in the land of the corn.
Thats just simply not true. Lets look at the reasons that Solich lost his job....
1. The 2002 7-7 Season. This was coming off the NC game in 2001, so obviously Frank was immediately on thin ice by having a .500 season.
2. Blow out losses. Look at the way FS was losing games, 40-7 to Penn St, 36-14 to ISU, 41-21 to Mizzou, and the nail in the coffin 38-9 to KSU, everyone knew he was getting fired before the CU game, which the players rallied for.
3. Recruiting. Im not saying Frank was getting poor talent, but as soon as Cally was hired there was a buzz about the recruits they were pulling it. It was an upgrade. This helped to endure the growing pain years while he was getting his system installed with his players.
I read something recently that said that something like 60% of this years NU starters were Solich recruits. If the recruiting was so bad by FS, how does he have this many kids still in the starting line up four years later?
it was one of the Barfknecht articles, and Barf said it was 30% i think.
Callahan did invent the forward pass, though.
shoulda waited until the end of the season....but the polyester hordes busted too many nuts watching BIG RED run up and down the field on Nevada (Reno)...extend "Love me, I'm Bill". Jim Rose probably drained himself of semen.
Okay, 30% seems more accurate. Still, if all his guys were so crappy, you'd think they'd have weeded them out after 4 recruiting cycles
I do agree that the extension should have waited til the end of this season to see how the cards fall.
Like I said, its not that Frank wasnt getting ANY good athletes. His recruiting classes overall werent like Callys though. I dont think recruits were a big reason FS got the boot, but I do think most Husker fans thought that aspect needed to be improved to compeat with the big boys.
Separate names with a comma.

Custom Versatrax 100™ Assessed for Use in Ancient Afghan Irrigation Networks
Customization Ability Sets Inuktun Apart from Competitors
Military units operating in the Middle East have been conducting trials throughout 2012 of Inuktun's Versatrax 100™ (VT100) miniature crawler system. The trials, when completed, may result in modifications to the VT100.
Inuktun's standard Versatrax 100™ crawler can inspect pipes and ducts as narrow as four inches (10cm) in diameter. It is available in both in-line and parallel configurations for different pipe sizes. The VT100 has been used for pipe inspection applications in the nuclear, oil and gas and municipal markets for more than 12 years.
The modifications being considered are the result of deployment and mobility challenges posed by the difficult environment. Specific changes under consideration include a fixed chassis, to improve ground clearance and traction; a fixed vertical camera, for true pan and tilt capability and better visibility above the water level in underground structures; and a shorter tether cable on a miniature cable reel for ease of transport (the cable and vehicle are deployed from a single Pelican® case).
"It's a very challenging environment," said the client. "There are obstacles such as rocks and debris to work around and reduced traction due to loose silt."
Military units "may have an interest in using the robot to determine if illegal or threatening activities are occurring underground."
Inuktun president Colin Dobell says one of the things that sets the company apart from its competitors is its ability and willingness to customize its products for customers.
"The standard VT100 is a commercially available, off-the-shelf product," Dobell said. "It is small, portable, waterproof and modular, which allows us to customize or adapt the system easily for different environments."
Dobell says clients have asked for similar modifications in the past on the Versatrax 150™ system for use in underground structures. They have also used Inuktun's Versatrax 200™ and Versatrax 450™ in various parts of the world for confined space investigations.
In addition to Inuktun's Middle East client, many other customers have requested modifications to crawler and camera systems they have purchased. For example, Redmond, WA-based Laser Techniques Company, which develops automated, high-resolution laser-based measurement and inspection systems, use Inuktun's Minitrac™ and Microtrac™ crawler units.
"They propel our laser-based scanners through large-calibre gun tubes," said founder and president James Doyle. "We also use them for pipe inspection ."
Doyle says the Microtracs™ crawlers were modified to provide more precision and slower drive speeds.
"The modifications were completed in short order," said Doyle. "I believe Inuktun had a working unit within a few weeks. They were very responsive."
Doyle says the units have been working well for Laser Techniques. "We are very happy with them," he said.
Dounreay Site Restoration Limited, which undertakes site closure and environmental restoration for the United Kingdom's Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, has used a modified Versatrax 150™ (VT150) crawler system.
"We used a crawler with a camera and gamma spectrometry module to accomplish a difficult task," said project manager Martin Howse. "It had to go at least 50 metres underwater, and up to 300 metres, in inclined pipes that were coated in radioactive sludge."
In order to satisfy Dounreay's requirements, a standard VT150 crawler needed to be customized. "The crawlers had to navigate inclined pipes with a number of bends, which cause capstan effects on the cable at each bend,." Howse said. "So they needed mass, stability, good crawling ability in wet 220 mm diameter pipes and the ability to record radiation in real time from a gamma spectrometer mounted on the unit."
Howse says the customized VT150 has worked well for Dounreay. "I could not have wished for a better outcome, considering the circumstances we were working under," he said.
Stork Technical Services, a Netherlands-based company that provides asset integrity management services to corporations in the oil and gas, power and chemical industries, uses a number of Inuktun crawler (Verstrax 100™, Versatrax 100 MicroMag™ and Versatrax 150™) and camera (Spectrum 45™ and Spectrum 90™) systems.
"We use the crawlers to inspect pipes internally," said engineer Mat Meredith "And we use the cameras separately for remote visual inspections."
Stork asked Inuktun to modify a Versatrax 100 MicroMag™ chassis, to optimize performance inside a 26-inch NB pipe, and Microtrac™ crawlers, to accommodate greater water depth.
"The new system was delivered on time and has been successful on multiple inspection jobs," Meredith said.
Going Underground in Afghanistan
The Versatrax 100™ could be used in the Afghan underground irrigation network called karez. (Karez is the Pashto term for the man-made underground water system.)
The shafts of karez, which are dug by farmers, average nine to 15 metres in depth, but occasionally they go down as far as 30 metres. Some of the karez stretch for several kilometers underground.
Because many of the rivers in that part of the world are seasonal, the rural inhabitants use karez as a way of prolonging their agricultural water supply during the dry months, of which there are many.
The karez method of water distribution has been in existence for a long time; they may have even been in place when Alexander the Great came through Afghanistan in 328 BC.
The karez have another use, in addition to agriculture. Since ancient times, the underground waterways have been used by villagers for shelter against their enemies. During the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, to cite a recent example, villagers and the local Mujahideen guerrillas used the karez system to hide people and weapons.

KOPS-WATCH – Keeping Our People Safe
This page provides information about what to do if you encounter a potential threat or see unusual behavior at the college.
Do not use this site to report events presenting an immediate threat to life or property. Such reports submitted through this service may not receive an immediate response. If you require emergency assistance, contact the JCCC Campus Police Department at ext. 4111 or 913-469-2500 immediately. If you are off campus, contact 911.
Incident & Crime Reporting
JCCC has established a confidential report site for students, staff, faculty and visitors to report strange or unusual behavior on any college-owned or college-operated facility or at any college-sponsored event or activity, either on or off campus. This includes service-learning trips, internship experiences or any off-campus JCCC-sponsored gathering of students.
Visit the KOPS-WATCH site or dial 1-888-258-3230 to report information in the following categories:
- Welfare alert (concern for student)
- Violent behavior
- Substance abuse or use
- Unusual or erratic behavior
- Discrimination or harassment
- Criminal activity on or near the JCCC campus
JCCC Police Department
The JCCC Police Department is located on the campus of Johnson County Community College. It provides service 24 hours a day and is an integral part of the college's dedication to develop and maintain a safe and secure campus through the cooperative efforts of many college departments.
The department provides a full range of services including, but not limited to, responding to all crimes committed on campus, supporting staff, faculty and student activities and functions, providing crime prevention services/programs, enforcing traffic laws and maintaining crowd control for campus special events. The department maintains close liaison with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in implementing and coordinating campus safety and law enforcement operations.
Behavior Intervention Team
Johnson County Community College is committed to a safe and supportive learning and working environment for all students, staff, faculty and visitors. The Behavior Intervention Team (BIT) was formed in 2008 to provide a centralized team of individuals to assess any danger or harm that may result from the actions of an identified person or persons on any college-owned or college-operated facility or at any college-sponsored event or activity, either on or off campus. This includes service-learning trips, internship experiences or any off-campus JCCC-sponsored gathering of students.
BIT Objectives
- Recommend an action plan to curtail any threat or potential danger to a person or persons(s), educational environment or property
- Identify person(s) who have shown a risk of harm toward others or themselves when associated with JCCC property or activities
- Engage in risk reduction through assessment of circumstances as reported through various entities of the college
- Centralize information concerning inappropriate behavior and coordinate appropriate action in case of threat to person(s), educational environment or property
- Communicate with law enforcement when scope of threat is beyond BIT's scope
- Encourage reporting of unusual behavior or criminal activity
Tips for Minimizing Emotional Responses
- Project calmness; move and speak slowly, quietly and confidently.
- Be an empathetic listener; encourage the person to talk and listen patiently.
- Focus your attention on the other person to let them know you are interested in what they have to say.
- Maintain a relaxed, yet attentive, posture and position yourself at a right angle rather than directly in front of the other person.
- Acknowledge the person's feelings. Indicate that you can see he or she is upset.
- Establish ground rules if unreasonable behavior persists.
- Calmly describe the consequences of any violent behavior.
- Use delaying tactics, which will give the person time to calm down. For example, offer a drink of water (in a disposable cup).
- Be reassuring and point out choices. Break big problems into smaller, more manageable problems.
- Ask for the person's recommendations. Repeat back to him/her what you feel he/she is requesting of you.
- Arrange yourself so that a visitor cannot block your access to an exit.
