question:
IS IT correct to find parallels between violent white supremacism and neo-Nazism on one hand  and the nihilist fury of ultra-militant Islam on the other? A Franco-American scholar   Scott Atran   is convinced that these deadly phenomena are two sides of the same coin. Unless people grasp that point   he  thinks  our ability to cope with either scourge may be limited.
Of course there are superficial resemblances which anyone can see. In August  when a fanatic drove his car into a group of liberal  anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville  Virginia   he  was copying a tactic that had already been used by self-styled warriors for Islam in at least four European countries.
But Mr Atran  who holds academic posts in Britain  France and America  sees deeper resemblances.  He  makes the point in an essay for Aeon   a forum for elaborate intellectual arguments  drawing on a series of  his  own academic investigations.
In  his  view  both kinds of fanaticism reflect both the failure of the liberal democratic order to inspire anyone to defend it  and the insidious attractiveness of ideologies which challenge that order. What makes these ideologies appealing is not their content but the strong collective identity they offer. They create peer groups that promise their own members such admiration that it can seem like sufficient reason to lay down oneâs life. By contrast  surveys suggest that very few people  these days  feel inclined to give up their lives for democracy.

question:
Claire Smyth  former executive pastry chef at Honeyâs   said Honeyâs staff members were called into a meeting Jan. 9 and told by Furman that they âcould just no longer do it anymoreâ and that  as of that day  Honeyâs was done for business.
âI mean  itâs a little bit of a shock â  Smyth  said. âItâs really  really hard to let go of 30 people in January after Christmas  but I mean  itâs the industry.â
All staff members were given their final checks and sent home that day   she  said.  Smyth  remembers feeling fortunate because  she âd driven  her  own car that day  so  she  could take  her  things home.
âIt was very  very abrupt â  she  said.
 Smyth  had only been at Honeyâs for about a month  about the same time as executive chef Johnny Anderes. Anderes  formerly of Avec  Reno  Telegraph Wine Bar and The Kitchen  was brought on in December after chef Charles Welch and pastry chef Alison Cates left.
But  Smyth  said she wonders if predictions about the imminent restaurant crash in Chicago are true  citing the recently closed GreenRiver restaurant in Streeterville.
âI think there are too many restaurants in Chicago  and itâs hard to stay open when everyone is doing the same thing in the same area â  Smyth  said.
 Smyth  said she plans to take some time to herself before looking for a new job.
answer:
Claire Smyth


question:
Last Monday in Vancouver  the feisty Canucks wing Alex Burrows -- suddenly a hot scorer -- was named the NHL's first star of the week. But the referee Stephane Auger was not congratulating him later that evening when television cameras caught him with his arm around Burrows' shoulder before a game against Nashville.
 "It was personal " Burrows told reporters after the game. He said that Auger complained that he had made him look bad in a game on Dec. 8 against Nashville.
 "He said he was going to get me back tonight  and that's what he did in the third  I think " Burrows said.
 Burrows said the league should suspend Auger for the rest of the season  something the league declined to do.
 In the first game  at Nashville  Burrows was hit by the Predators' Jerred Smithson. Auger assessed Smithson a five-minute charging major and a game misconduct  but the league later rescinded the misconduct.
 In the third period of the second game  Auger called two penalties on Burrows. In the final moments  Burrows complained to Auger  who slapped him with an unsportsmanlike-conduct penalty.
 On Wednesday  the NHL fined Burrows $2 500 for his remarks and issued no sanction against Auger  saying that the nature of the pregame conversation between the two men "could not be substantiated."
 Colin Campbell said that Auger told Burrows he did not need his help in making calls and did not appreciate the embellishment. Campbell added that Burrows did not notify his coach after the conversation with Auger.
 "The first time he mentioned it was after the game in the press conference " Campbell said.
answer:

Alex Burrows
