    Professor Faten Ghosn Speaks About Middle East

    Sedona, AZ (October 17, 2011) –  Featured Speaker, Professor Faten Ghosn, University of Arizona. She’ll be speaking about Arab Spring? A Critical Outlook at the Events in the Middle East . Uprisings across North Africa and the Middle East. Some succeed, others remain in doubt. Decades old dictatorships and authoritarian regimes falter and collapse. Others like Syria, Bahrain, Yemen use bloody repression while talking reform. Crowds of young people and ordinary folks use Twitter and Facebook to organize revolts. Islamic groups and factions wait in the wings. Where is it all going.

    Demonstrations that look very much like Cairo appear in Spain, Madison Wisconsin and New York City and Sedona and Cottonwood. Dr. Ghosn will examine the complex challenges facing Arab Women as the region undergoes profound change.Inspiration? Blowback ? Dr. Ghosn received her BA and MPA from the American University of Beirut, and her Ph.D. from the Pennsylvania State University. Her research and teaching interests focus on the interaction of adversaries, be they conflictual or cooperative. In particular, she has been interested in how such actors handle their disagreements. A common theme running throughout her professional interests is the importance of the choice of strategy that is picked by the adversaries to manage their conflicts. Her articles have appeared in Conflict Management and Peace Science, International Negotiation, International Studies Quarterly, as well as Middle East Journal.

    Analyzing City’s Legal Right to
    Ban OHVs on Public Roads

    By Tommy Acosta
    Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Maxima Culpa! I screwed up. Blew it. Totally made a fool of myself. Missed the boat. I am talking about my editorial on the OHV fight, No Legal Traction on OHVs. I assumed that it was ADOT that would make a decision on whether the city could legally ban off road vehicles from our public roads like S.R. 89A and S.R. 179. Man was I off. ADOT has nothing to do with allowing or disallowing the city to do so. ADOT’s response to me when I asked them to clarify their position, was curt and to the point. “ADOT designs, builds and maintains the state highway system,” I was told. “It is not our place to offer an opinion on how state law might apply in this matter.” It was a totally “duh” moment for me when I realized that that the decision or judgement on the OHV ordinance, would involve the state and not ADOT. Chagrinned I stand. The crux of the matter then is whether the city can effectively use a number of standing state laws that can be interpreted to determine whether the city can legally ban the vehicles or not.
