Texas plumber sues dealer after company pickup appears in Syria militant photo
Now a Texas plumber is suing a dealer for not removing decals advertising his plumbing business from a traded-in truck. Mark Oberholtzer, the owner of Mark-1 Plumbing in Texas City, claims a Ford dealer resold his truck without removing the logo and company phone number. The suit traces the pickup's journey from a local auto auction to Mersin, Turkey. Former U.N. ambassador Mark Wallace, of the non-profit Counter Extremism Project, has been trying to bring attention to the huge number of trucks - specifically Toyotas - the Islamic State has bought.

Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
