Defenders of the Faith
Jonathan D. Fitzgerald, guest contributor
When I was a child, the phrase "Defender of the Faith" did not conjure images of the Latin title Fidei defensor or of the British crown. Rather, it somehow got tangled up with another prominent idiom of my youth, "Masters of the Universe," which referred to the popular Mattel media franchise starring He-Man. A defender of the faith was a kind of superhero, a person of great strength with an important mission.
These days, the phrase invokes yet another, completely different meaning to me. I now think of a defender of the faith as anyone who attempts to wrestle the reputation of his faith out of the hands of those who, through their actions or speech, disparage it.
Take, for example, the phenomenon that accompanies many terrorist attacks, attempted or carried out, in our contemporary media landscape. After each incident — the latest in Times Square is no exception — scores of moderate Muslims take to the airwaves to defend their faith against the violent portrayal of the (would-be) terrorists. It is sad to say that mainstream media outlets seem to have developed a routine for reporting on such incidents. Hearing from outraged and apologetic followers of Islam is a prominent feature of that routine.
But this phenomenon isn't unique to Muslims; many Christians also feel the need to salvage their faith's reputation from extremists. Certainly, this includes the kind of extremism seen back in March in the form of the "Huratee," the Christian militia whose outfit was raided in Michigan. Other non-violent forms of extremism, however, warrant Christian defenders of the faith as well, like in Austin Carty's recent Huffington Post article entitled "Nice Christians: We're Out There."
Lately I have been asking myself: what is the point of these predictable defenses? Is anyone's opinion changed in this way? I don't think so. It is not as if a person who believes that all Muslims are extremists is going to listen to a self-proclaimed moderate Muslim and feel certain that his assumptions were wrong. Neither will being reassured by a talking head that there are extremists in every faith comfort someone who already knows this to be true.
Rather than increasing tolerance or expanding dialogue, this knee-jerk defense actually plays further into the broad dichotomy that the American public has come to expect from mainstream news sources. When a moderate Christian such as Mr. Carty makes a well-meaning case for others like himself in the Huffington Post, he's not making it easier for acceptance and understanding to grow. He is distancing himself from those he'd rather not associate with. In this way, the defense that is made is not a defense of one's faith but of one's self at the expense of those other religious people whose practice he judges to be misguided.
Yet, certainly I have found myself on the wrong side of this coin on more than one occasion. I can distinctly remember several conversations with my best friend, a Roman Catholic, in which we tried to imagine a different way to define ourselves that would highlight the commonalities of our faiths rather than differences. But even that endeavor was a reaction to those around us, those intolerant people on both sides, Catholic and Protestant, who, for one reason or another, discounted the other. We lamented that the term "Christian" — let alone "born-again" or "evangelical" — was lost to negative stereotypes and a bad reputation, and thus we wanted to update it.
Nowadays, I laugh to myself when a Christian friend on Facebook identifies his or her religious views as "Christ follower," for it is this same sense of self-defense that pushes me to disassociate from those intolerant believers of whom I am embarrassed.
Let us not alienate fundamentalists within our own faiths. Instead of separating ourselves and pointing the finger of blame at those with whom we disagree, perhaps a true defense of faith is called for — a more complete wish to understand how someone could aggravate the tenets of a religion to a violent state.
We have an opportunity with each unfortunate and sometimes-deadly act by extremists of all religions to, rather than estrange ourselves from them, attempt to bring them back into the fold by means of understanding our common identities as adherents of a particular religion. Only then will we truly be defenders of the faith.

Brian McLaren's New Kind of Christianity
Trent Gilliss, online editor
Had a chance to hear Brian McLaren speak on Minnesota Public Radio (yes, on the radio!) today on the way to the airport. I found his personal story and way of thinking quite compelling — and delightfully so.
In his closing comments, he reflects on the upcoming 500th anniversary of Martin Luther posting his Ninety-Five Theses to the door of a Wittenberg church — and calls for a new discourse for Christians in a world of ever-increasing pluralism:
"Theses are statements. Statements create debate. Sometimes, in the process, they create hate. And the result of debate is that we'll end up in a new state. Maybe today what we need is not statements to create debate. Maybe today we need questions. Questions that create conversations. Conversations that create friendships. Friendships that bring us on a new quest. Statements to state; questions to quest. This, to me, is what a new kind of Christianity is about."
He also proposes ten questions Christians should be asking themselves:
- What is the big narrative arc of the Christian story?
- How do we negotiate authority?
- Is God violent?
- Who is Jesus, and why is He important?
- What is the gospel? Is it good news for Christians only or is it good news for everyone?
- What are we going to do about the Church?
- How can we talk about the sex issue without dividing from each other? How can we live with differing opinions?
- What kind of future do we anticipate?
- How do we relate to people of other faiths?
- What do we do about these first nine questions? How do we talk about them without killing each other?
I sure hope we book him some day. Perhaps this fall…?
Talking about Islamism
Shiraz Janjua, Associate Producer
We've just completed our program in which Krista interviews British activist Ed Husain. Ed Husain spent several years in the 1990s in ideologically radical Islamist groups in the UK, where he was born and grew up. He wrote a book about these experiences, The Islamist, which has generated some fierce debate in Britain. (Check out our Particulars page to find links to some of that criticism.)
In his book, he makes a case for banning radical groups that he was part of, and makes causal links between those ideological groups and other, more violent groups that encourage terror tactics and violence. All of this has come in the wake of the July 7, 2005, bombings in London that, like the terror attacks here in 2001, have been emblemized by two numbers: 7/7.
(Photo by Jan van der Crabben/Flickr)
Much of the debate has spun around whether or not such causal links do in fact exist, and whether or not his own experiences can speak to any sort of trend responsible for radicalizing youth in Britain's Muslim communities.
It's a sensitive topic, one that is difficult to remain objective about one way or the other. One thing I've experienced in reading the bubbling blogosphere is the cynicism the Muslim community feels toward the media. We've seen all sorts of talking heads and policy experts on the airwaves, telling us why terrorism has become a tactic used by Islamist revolutionaries. In fact, they rarely even frame it that way. The whole focus on terrorism — to the exclusion of positive developments — is problematic. Instead of opening up discussion, it paints people into corners, puts them in boxes, labels them as somehow different to "us."
It's this sense of "us" and "them" that Ed Husain talks much about in the show, particularly in the uncut interview. Having grown up in Britain, he has some quite pronounced views on social stratification and class segregation there.
But — and this is a big but — it seems to a cynical Muslim audience that it's a short leap from calling something Islamism to stripping away that –ism, and just blaming Islam. The search for "moderate" Muslims by the media is held up proof of the media's ignorance and complicity in framing how Muslims are portrayed. We've even had discussions here about what words we use to promote this show: do we catch the ear by offering insight into suicidal terrorism, or do we say that a radical has turned to a deeper spirituality?
In some sense, the whole usage of the term "moderate" reflects to what degree we view everything, in the US, through the lens of politics. Moderation is stressed repeatedly in the Qur'an as something to strive for, but no one within the Muslim community comes out and says, "Hey, world, I'm moderate!"
People do split into broad camps of conservatives, traditionalists, progressives, liberals, secularists, or what have you, but there's a lot of debate over the terminology of these various shades of experience. Terms like conservative, moderate and progressive, having no real scriptural basis, seem borrowed from American media parlance. They can be useful shorthand, but sometimes obscure the nuance and complexity of today's intellectual ferment. They can turn real people into distant intellectual constructs.
Some want to call this period of Islamic history the "Reformation," borrowing again from an outside frame of reference. It honestly doesn't matter what we call it. What matters is the substance, the story of our time in history, the opportunity, and the stakes we play for. People will criticize someone like Ed Husain for focusing on radicalism and calling for more discussion, for associating the Muslim experience with some problematic social malaise, or some violent ideology, when the daily lived reality is so far from that.
I myself find the issue of identity boring, because it doesn't satisfy the real weighty questions that I wrestle with, things that are light-years away from the questions the media focuses on. I'm more concerned about purpose in my life, about goodness, about the music inside language, about if I should play PlayStation for another half-hour or start making dinner.
Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that someone like Ed Husain doesn't have a story to tell. One can be self-critical without being self-hating. And I can't say firsthand what it's like in the UK, because I haven't lived there. But Ed Husain talks about the North American Muslim community as a source for direct inspiration for him — there's a strong streak of civic and social engagement in the Muslim community here. Just look to Krista's interview with Ingrid Mattson or a recent interview on Altmuslim with Zaid Shakir. A great, high-profile British blog, Pickled Politics, seems to have a good pulse on the same reality in Britain.
That's why Ed Husain has not abandoned Islam nor found it to be somehow inherently broken. That doesn't mean he doesn't have criticism to offer about people who preach violence "in our name." And nor does it mean, because he stakes out a claim, that he has the final, definitive answer. He doesn't claim to, either, but he is part of a larger conversation. And if you have stories that inspire you, why not share them, and keep us honest?

Walcott coy on Arsenal future
The future of Arsenal forward Theo Walcott remains unclear after the England international refused to confirm his commitment to the Gunners.
By Gabriel Tan in Kuala Lumpur
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger previously expressed his intention of keeping Walcott at the club and there were widespread reports that the Gunners were set to offer the 23-year-old an improved deal in a bid to keep the speedy forward at the club.
The former Southampton player, whose contract with Arsenal expires at the end of next season, was part of the England team which participated in the recently concluded European Championship and his involvement in the tournament meant that contract talks between Walcott and the North London club had to be delayed.
"We were always going to wait till after Euro 2012 to hold talks," Walcott told ESPN STAR Sports in Kuala Lumpur.
Nevertheless, the lack of any updates on Walcott's contract situation, nearly a month after the Euros ended, has fuelled speculation that he may leave the club during this transfer window.
Recent reports have linked Walcott with a move to Liverpool and Chelsea, with both clubs allegedly ready to battle it out for the signature of a player Lionel Messi once described as "the most dangerous player he ever played against."
Walcott however insists he is unaffected by all the rumours, preferring to focus on playing football instead, and claims he leaves the contract negotiations to his agent.
"I'm not at all fazed by the speculation," he added.
"I actually don't have a clue about all the reports.
"I just like to get on with things and work hard.
"My agent and the club will talk things out and when there's something to be decided, I'll get involved."
The recent signings of experienced German international Lukas Podolski and last season's Ligue 1 top scorer Oliver Giroud have sowed the seeds of optimism in Arsenal fans worldwide, with many believing that the club, which has consistently finished in the top four of the Premier League, is now ready to take the step up and win the title.
Walcott has echoed those sentiments and despite the expected departure of club captain Robin Van Persie, believes the club is moving in the right direction.
"Of course I am excited about the future of the club," he proclaimed.
"Not many people recognise we've qualified for the Champions league so many years in a row.
"Now the next step is to prove them wrong by winning trophies"
Walcott was in stellar form for Arsenal last season, scoring 11 goals and providing 13 assists in 46 appearances.

Definition of center of buoyancy in English:
center of buoyancy
Syllabification: cen·ter of buoy·an·cynoun
Physics- The centroid of the immersed part of a ship or other floating body.More example sentences
- Although this position appears to enhance stability as determined from the arrow model, it also appears to be nearly coincident with the center of buoyancy.
- This distance is called the metacentric height, which takes negative values when the center of mass is above the center of buoyancy, as is common among fishes.
- This is difficult to do since the center of your body mass is about 6 inches above your navel, but your center of buoyancy is between your armpits.

Published July 19, 2010
Long thought to be extinct, one of the world's rarest primates has been caught on camera for the first time, scientists announced Monday.
(Related: "'Extinct' Bird Seen, Eaten.")
Discovered in 1937 but "missing" for 60 years, Sri Lanka's Horton Plains slender loris was presumed to have died out. In 2002 a fleeting nighttime sighting of something looking like the elusive tree-dweller, however, gave conservationists hope.
Follow-up surveys led by the Zoological Society of London finally confirmed the lorises are alive—if not exactly well—in 2009, when two individuals were photographed and examined.
Initial estimates after the rediscovery put the total world population at fewer than a hundred, said the society's conservation biologist Craig Turner. And in this case, the world is limited to high cloud forests in the Horton Plains area (map) of central Sri Lanka—the animal's only known habitat.
"Potentially this is the rarest primate we're aware of today," Turner said.
(Related pictures: "25 most endangered primates named.")
Lonely Lorises
About 8 inches (20 centimeters) long and weighing just 11 ounces (310 grams), the slow-moving loris has been doomed as forests have been felled for firewood and to make way for tea plantations and other farms, Turner said.
"There's no means for these lorises to move between the [remaining] forest patches," Turner said. "In terms of breeding and finding mates, it is very difficult for them." (See a satellite picture of Horton Plains' forests.)
"The real focus now has to be on the remaining forest areas and looking at how we can enhance and protect them, and also reconnect them to one another," he added.
(Also see "'Extinct' Booby Exposed—Found 'Masked,' Using Alias.")
"New" Loris Also New Species?
The Horton Plains slender loris is generally classified as a subspecies of Sri Lanka's red slender loris. But, thanks in part to the first ever pictures, researchers now believe the "extinct" loris could be a whole new species.
"It's clearly very different physically," Turner said. Compared to lowland lorises, the Horton Plains loris is "stockier, shorter limbed—and it's got a much longer fur coat."
Ongoing tests on DNA samples taken from the few individuals recorded to date, he added, should help to settle the issue.

Well, it looks like Rolando McClain will have a new nickname at every visiting stadium he plays in from now on.
The 23-year-old Raiders linebacker was arrested on Tuesday for giving a false name to a law enforcement officer, according to DecaturDaily.com.
The name he gave: "[Expletive] Y'all."
(Is that Irish?) During a traffic stop on the Central Parkway in Decatur, Ala., McClain was cited for having illegal tints on his Silverado. According to the report, officer Derek Annerton was "unable to recognize the driver" because the tint was so dark.
"The tint was so dark that he immediately recognized that it was darker than what's allowed by law. He couldn't tell anything about the driver — couldn't tell if it was male or female," police spokesman Lt. John Crouch said.
McClain told the officers that he has a letter from his doctor for his car's tints. He produced the printed letter to the officers, which reportedly stated that McClain had "photosensitivity and needed maximum ultraviolet radiation protection to include window tinting."
Because the doctor's note wasn't written on a medical prescription, the officers produced a citation and told McClain that he can bring the doctor's note to his court date.
That's when things got interesting.
"McClain took [the ticket] and appeared to sign it, but when officer Annerton got the ticket book back, he saw that McClain had written '[Expletive] y'all' instead of signing his name," said Crouch.
"I'm falsely accused of everything," the linebacker later said. "It's corrupt. It's terrible."
Whatever you say, Mr. Y'all.

Not only was i impressed with the packaging, but everything was shipped and sent to me in a very timely fashion. The colors i picked were very true to what their web page showed.

Welcome to the Women Cycling Project!
Hosted by Association of Pedestrian and Bicycle Professionals (APBP), the goal of the Women Cycling Project is to learn together. By connecting and collaborating with others, you can help create a more sustainable transportation culture.
It's been said we will know we have made progress when it is commonplace to see women and girls bicycling for transport in numbers equal to men and boys.
The next Women Cycling Project webinar is set for 3/26/2014. The theme (same as the 2014 Women's History Month http://www.nwhp.org/) is Celebrating Women of Character, Courage, and Commitment. If you'd like to be involved in planning the webinar, join this public group and contact Fionnuala Quinn and Kit Keller.
For the latest news, visit www.womencyclingproject.info. Here you'll find recent presentations, webinars, forums, studies, and a guide to hosting your own local women cycling forum or summit.
Why a Women Cycling Project? The idea for the Women Cycling Project and APBP's public group on this topic arose from conversations about findings and implementation recommendations contained in the FHWA, AASHTO, NCHRP International Scan on Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety and Mobility. (Read that report here.) APBP invites further discussion, examples, and new approaches about what policy makers, engineers, planners, public health and other professionals may need to do differently to encourage more women and girls in the U.S. and Canada to bicycle for everyday transport. Use this group space to share information about resources, barriers, and successes. Visit the forum for links to reports, questions, answers and more opportunities to share your ideas about solutions. We are currently collaborating with other professional associations to tackle the knotty design problems that too often prevent women and girls from bicycling.
Women responded! Learn how more than 13,000 women responded to the Survey on Women Cycling for Transportation. APBP member Mark Schulz (Associate Professor, Department of Public Health Education, University of North Carolina at Greensboro) and his student Anna Sibley analyzed the APBP survey. Read it here.
APBP member and then-intern Andrea Garland (now with Alta Planning + Design) analyzed thousands of written answers to three open ended questions,
Her summaries are posted at www.womencyclingproject.info. Additional questions may be digested as time and APBP resources permit. Researchers who would like to use the data for further study may contact us. Of interest to Safe Routes to School professionals: respondent's offered up 12,996 written answers to questions about what their communities can do to encourage more teen girls and young girls to bicycle for transport. As new research comes online, we'll post it at www.WomenCyclingProject.info.
Let's work together to increase the number of women and girls cycling!
Please share what you've learned here with others in your community who are working to make it more bicycle-friendly, and more walkable. Thank you!

A local dynamic conditional correlation model
This paper introduces the idea that the variances or correlations in financial returns may all change conditionally and slowly over time. A multi-step local dynamic conditional correlation model is proposed for simultaneously modelling these components. In particular, the local and conditional correlations are jointly estimated by multivariate kernel regression. A multivariate k-NN method with variable bandwidths is developed to solve the curse of dimension problem. Asymptotic properties of the estimators are discussed in detail. Practical performance of the model is illustrated by applications to foreign exchange rates.Download Info

Touch: Where Microsoft Went Wrong
Microsoft had a pretty bad week. The software giant announced disastrous earnings, which prompted its stock to tank more than 11 percent the next day. One reason for the bad quarter was the $900 million charge it took against "Surface RT" inventory adjustments, but even without this writedown, its quarter still would have been pretty bad. If the earnings show one thing, it's that… Read More
