Today is Thursday, July 6, the 187th day of 2017. There are 178 days left in the year.

Today's Highlights in History:

On July 6, 1957, Althea Gibson became the first black tennis player to win a Wimbledon singles title as she defeated fellow American Darlene Hard 6-3, 6-2. The Harry S. Truman Library, the nation's first presidential library, was dedicated in Independence, Missouri. Sixteen-year-old John Lennon first met 15-year-old Paul McCartney when Lennon's band, the Quarrymen skiffle group, performed a gig at St. Peter's Church in Woolton, Liverpool.

On this date:

In 1535, Sir Thomas More was executed in England for high treason.

In 1777, during the American Revolution, British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga.

In 1885, French scientist Louis Pasteur tested an anti-rabies vaccine on 9-year-old Joseph Meister, who had been bitten by an infected dog; the boy did not develop rabies.

In 1917, during World War I, Arab forces led by T.E. Lawrence and Auda Abu Tayi captured the port of Aqaba (AH'-kah-buh) from the Ottoman Turks.

In 1933, the first All-Star baseball game was played at Chicago's Comiskey Park; the American League defeated the National League, 4-2.

In 1942, Anne Frank, her parents and sister entered a "secret annex" in an Amsterdam building where they were later joined by four other people; they hid from Nazi occupiers for two years before being discovered and arrested.

In 1944, an estimated 168 people died in a fire that broke out during a performance in the main tent of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus in Hartford, Connecticut.

In 1964, the movie "A Hard Day's Night," starring The Beatles, had its world premiere in London. British colony Nyasaland became the independent country of Malawi.

In 1967, war erupted as Nigeria sent troops into the secessionist state of Biafra. (The Biafran (bee-AF'-ruhn) War lasted 2 1/2 years and resulted in a Nigerian victory.)

In 1971, jazz trumpeter and singer Louis Armstrong died in New York at age 69.

In 1988, 167 North Sea oil workers were killed when explosions and fires destroyed a drilling platform. Medical waste and other debris began washing up on New York City-area seashores, forcing the closing of several popular beaches.

In 1997, the rover Sojourner rolled down a ramp from the Mars Pathfinder lander onto the Martian landscape to begin inspecting the soil and rocks of the red planet.

Ten years ago: A man on a balcony over the New York-New York casino floor in Las Vegas opened fire on the gamblers below, wounding four people before he was tackled by off-duty military reservists. (The gunman, Steven Zegrean, was later convicted of charges including attempted murder and was sentenced to 26 to 90 years in prison; he died in April 2010 less than a year into his term.) Kathleen E. Woodiwiss, pioneer of the modern historical romance novel, died in Princeton, Minnesota, at age 68.

Five years ago: At a 100-nation conference in Paris, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton hailed an accelerating wave of defections in President Bashar Assad's inner circle as the United States and its international allies pleaded once again for global sanctions against the Syrian regime. Former neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman was released from jail in Florida for a second time while he awaited his second-degree murder trial for fatally shooting Trayvon Martin. (Zimmerman was acquitted.)

One year ago: President Barack Obama scrapped plans to cut American forces in Afghanistan by half before leaving office. Double-amputee Olympian Oscar Pistorius was sentenced to six years in a South African prison for murdering girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. Philando Castile, a black elementary school cafeteria worker, was killed during a traffic stop in the St. Paul suburb of Falcon Heights by Officer Jeronimo Yanez, who was charged with second-degree manslaughter (Yanez was acquitted at trial). Former Fox News Channel anchor Gretchen Carlson sued network chief executive Roger Ailes, claiming she was cut loose after she had refused his sexual advances and complained about harassment in the workplace, allegations denied by Ailes. (Carlson later settled her lawsuit for a reported $20 million.) The augmented-reality game Pokemon Go made its debut in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand.

Funny you mention it, I was just about to post this. Matt Booth sure wasn't gone long.

Interesting that he is using a variation of the Room 101 "flower".
Not to mention the band below the flower sure looks like "101" to me.

Thought for Today: "Nothing is worth more than laughter. It is strength to laugh and to abandon oneself, to be light. Tragedy is the most ridiculous thing." - Frida Kahlo (FREE'-dah KAH'-loh), Mexican painter (born this date in 1907, died 1954).
But she was still a commie. Morning, muchachos.
But on what side of the Drumpf Imaginary Wall, brought to you by Drumpf Hotels™ did she live? Morning, Raz.
If there's no wall, there are no sides to live on. Morning, LTG.
Sounds like commie talk to me. Hope you're not going soft on us. (TWSS)
Setting yourself up now?  Getting as bad as Bean.
Just saving him the trouble.
How you view my statement depends on how you view the world. If you buy into, say, John Lennon's view, no wall means no countries, means we're all "sharing all the world," means utopia.

I, on the other hand, see it as a comment on the absurdity of a border without a literal or legal barrier. A porous border equals total economic and political leveling to the lowest and basest common denominator. Only warlords prefer that.

How you view my statement depends on how you view the world. If you buy into, say, John Lennon's view, no wall means no countries, means we're all "sharing all the world," means utopia.

I, on the other hand, see it as a comment on the absurdity of a border without a literal or legal barrier. A porous border equals total economic and political leveling to the lowest and basest common denominator. Only warlords prefer that.
So, just to be clear, Drumpf is NOT the warlord in your scenario? That comment seems so absurd as I type it I just had to make sure that's what you meant.
Trump isn't remotely a warlord, he doesn't have the stones for it.
No, it's the ability to focus on one thing at a time without being distracted by a shiny CNN or MSNBC logo that's his problem.
It's not a problem. There's no constitutional requirement that the president have an attention span.
Or a conscience, or a filter, or intelligence, or competence, or self control, or....

True. Though, that feels like one of those things the founding fathers never thought would come up, so they didn't bother putting it in there. Figured it would go without saying.
Give the man some credit, he's the best thing to happen to the mainstream media in 15 years.  He's their shiny object.

I would have a hard time doubting someone who told me that Lorne Michaels paid him to run for the presidency, because he knew what it would do for SNL's ratings.
Barack Obama gets credit for that. As an episode of American Experience points out, Trump made the decision to run after Obama invited him to a dinner at the White House and then publicly and repeatedly insulted him.

Now, the fact that Trump deserved the insults is beside the point. It's always a miscalculation to poke tigers, especially socially retarded ones.

So Obama screwed himself and his party on that deal.

Certainly the Democrats screwed themselves on that count, but since the election Trump has continuously provoked their ire, to the point where we have CNN exposed for what it is. As an article I was reading yesterday asserted, the Democrats have two choices now. They can take a "high" road, ignore Trump's provocations, and work at winning back working class whites, or they can continue to push the media narratives that have been exposed as lies, despite the fact more than 60% of Americans don't believe the media has much, if any, credibility. Either way, it spells the end of the Democratic party as we know it.  One way they have to abandon their extreme and vocal liberal base, the other they make Trump the story for the next four years. It's an untenable position for the Democrat party.

Ehh, I don't think he's remotely damaging the Republican party. There's a lot of Republicans that hate Trump, to be sure. But there's nothing Trump's doing that puts Republicans in jeopardy. Republicans are still winning elections. Congressional Republicans are going to have trouble with their base if they fail to repeal ACA, but not enough to wreck the party.

ZZZZZzzzzzzz! I'm gonna need coffee, pronto. Creating a presentation for an upcoming kick-off meeting on the subject of Data Warehousing. Also contemplating what to smoke for the way home. Sheesh.
Just need one slide...
The solution to everything.

But do you see Democrats telling Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and Chuck Schumer to shut up? I don't think so. ;-)

That's why they won't be able to move back to that moderate position and provide a viable alternative next election.  SOS!

With IPCPR coming up next week, it will be interesting to hear about new introductions, particularly with the FDA controls in place.  Then again, the FDA requires approval, but has yet to define what that approval process is.  Not too FUBAR.
Funny you mention it, I was just about to post this. Matt Booth sure wasn't gone long.

Shall be interesting to see where this goes as I'm not a particular fan of Caldwell cigars.  All hype and quirky names and not much on taste.
Not to mention that Robert Caldwell usually looks like a homeless person....

Smoked a well aged Padilla Artemis on my walk across town. It was very decent. Lots of cedar and subtle floral notes. I don't regret buying those.

My bad, he's a cigar guy, so perhaps the commie comment was unwarranted.  I must still be worked up by the commie comments from the previous discussion.

He very well may be, but been around a while.  One of the "new age", non traditional players, like Booth, Kyle Gellis, maybe even Pete Johnson.  Worked with Christian Eiroa on Wynwood, then went out on his own, ultimately releasing the Caldwell cigar line.
