No Room for Radicals
By Suhaib Webb and Scott Korb
Originally Published as an Op-Ed Article in the New York Times.
Just hours after the two suspects in the Boston Marathon bombing were identified as Muslims, Representative Peter T. King of New York, the Republican chairman of the House Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, called for an "increased surveillance" of Islamic communities in the United States. "I think we need more police and more surveillance in the communities where the threat is coming from," he told National Review. "The new threat is definitely from within."
Mr. King's hypothesis, and the widespread surveillance policies already in effect since 9/11, assume that the threat of radicalization has become a matter of local geography, that American Muslims are creating extremists in our mosques and community centers.
But what we're learning of the suspects, the brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, suggests a different story, and one that has itself become familiar: radicalization does not happen to young people with a strong grounding in the American Muslim mainstream; increasingly, it happens online, and sometimes abroad, among the isolated and disaffected.
The YouTube page of Tamerlan Tsarnaev, for example, does not contain a single lecture from a scholar, imam or institution in America. One report suggests that he found the theology taught in a local Cambridge mosque, the Islamic Society of Boston, unpalatable: while attending a Friday service in which an imam praised the life and work of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mr. Tsarnaev shouted that the imam was a "nonbeliever." The younger Tsarnaev brother seems to have rarely attended a mosque at all.
Representative King's theories also fail to explain why, if young people are being radicalized within mainstream Islamic communities, there aren't more attacks like the one in Boston. By some measures Islam is the fastest-growing religion in the United States, and the last decade has seen a rapid expansion of Muslim institutions across the country.
Yet what's most obvious to anyone who has spent time in these communities is that whether they are devotional or educational, focused on the arts or on interfaith cooperation and activism, this mediating set of American Muslim institutions is keeping impressionable young Muslims from becoming radicalized.
Take the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center and its range of devotional, arts and educational programs, from preschool to a seminary. Or Chicago's Inner-City Muslim Action Network, complete with a medical clinic, civic leadership education and a summer music festival that draws on the biggest names of Muslim hip-hop to promote peace through community organizing. Or Zaytuna College in Berkeley, Calif., the nation's first four-year Islamic liberal arts school.
These institutions and others have different aims, but they abide by a common idea: if the center of Judaism is the law, and the heart of Christianity is love, what Islam requires, above all else, is mercy. And whether on display in health care provided for the poor at South Los Angeles's UMMA Community Clinic, or in a patiently handled Arabic lesson that will one day lead a new convert into the fullness of the tradition, Islamic mercy, preached and practiced within the community, allows no room for radicalization.
Representative King and others have it exactly, completely wrong — the American Muslim community has actively and repeatedly, day in and day out, rejected such radicals on religious grounds: they do not know mercy.
More than a decade since 9/11, this should no longer be any secret. Across the nation, the doors are open, and more are opening every day. And despite whatever misplaced fears the Boston bombings evoke about radical Islam and homegrown terror, we'll all find ourselves increasingly secure as more Muslims heed the call — coming to Islam as it is in the United States, as a real, living community.
Suhaib Webb is the Imam of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center. Scott Korb, who teaches writing at New York University and the New School, is the author of "Light Without Fire: The Making of America's First Muslim College."

As-Salamu 'Alaikum Imam,
Thank you for this response. Directing negative attention at Islamic institutions, who provide necessary social and religious services, is not the solution.
From my reading of the research and literature, I have found that the increase of Islamic instutions – as well as the general increase of services sensitive to the needs of Muslim culture and religion – actually leads to a decrease in radicalization.
With this in mind, institutions should be welcomed and supported and not looked at with suspicion.
May God bless you and the work you do.
God bless,
The failure of the Muslim leaders to speak out against injustice (not only donr by Muslims but also by the Kufar) is the root cause of what led these youth to perform the acts that they did.For example Why does Imams not challenge Obama and his drone programs and his massacres of the innocent. Call him and the other tyrants out! But the Muslim leaders don't have the backbone to speak up. Instead you have people like Jeremy Scahill, Noam Chomasky, Michael Schauer and othe non-muslim doing for them. What a pathetic state. We have no eaxamples of the Prophets today. They seem to prefer to mimick the ways of so called conventional wisdom.
It is far more important that American Muslim leaders focus on denouncing the significant radical element in their ranks WITHOUT immediately launching into a diatribe claiming that their culture is somehow being persecuted. The reality is that the hate crime rate against Muslim-Americans is very small. Far lower than that against Jews, for example. The Muslim culture has serious problems integrating into modern society. Tolerance is not be taught nor demonstrated – rather they wallow in uncontrollable anger for any perceived slight. A cartoon of Mohammed? Big deal – live with it or leave.
as salaam alaikum,
You've already decided that two men are guilty, despite the fact that they have not been found guilty in a court of law.
Not only that, but your refusal to lead the Janazah over the deceased brother sets the tone for Muslims across America.
How are you going to sit and write about "radicals" and "extremism" when you have decided they are guilty despite the fact that neither the courts of the United States of America nor any valid Shari'i authority has found then guilty?
Salaam alaykum,
dear sister,
You blame the brother for being because of a judgment that is not certain? Why do you do the same with your opinion about the funeral?
You talk about shariah? Do you really know what this means? Do you live in the U.S.? There is no shariah, and wake up, nowhere in the world is a valid Shariah.
By the way, excellent response by brother Suhaib.
Kind regards to all, i beg Allah for a better understanding of the deen for all of us and a sound and pure heart.
Imam Suhaib publicly announced that he didn't deny giving the older brother a Janazah. The family hasn't requested it and the body was released today. This was a great article.
The article is spot on about the various Muslim institutions across the country which pull young Muslims into mainstream Islam and away from any chance of radicalization, which is, in my opinion, least likely to happen in the U.S. and more likely to happen from abroad, as already highlighted in the article and seen in the situation of the two accused bombers. Institutions that come to mind are Islamic centers and mosques in various cities, MSAs, Muslim youth groups and many more. As someone who has worked with many Muslim youth groups in central Texas, I can say that these are inshallah very effective in helping to teach young Muslims about mainstream Islam and creating a healthy sense of community and support of adults that young Muslims can look up to.
The problem in my opinion, is that people like King and others who share his anti-Islamic viewpoints, don't see all of this. They don't see the efforts that devout Muslims and volunteers in Islamic centers and masjid are doing to create this sense of community among the youth, which will in essence keep them away from radicalization. This needs to be out in the media more, unfortunately that seems difficult with news channels being very selective and bias about the views they show, which is why I was thrilled when I saw this on the NY Times. I pray that more American Muslim leaders will see the importance of highlighting efforts that Muslims ARE making within our own communities in ways mentioned in the article inshallah. May Allah have mercy on the victims of the bombings and their families inshallah.
This article can serve as a reminder.
Imam Webb, my hero.
I will not jump to conclusions & start blaming these brothers as a benefit of the doubt needs to be offered to them. This is the same global media & government (US government) who lie & exaggerate on a regular basis with regards to Muslims & fabricating excuses to kill thousands of our brothers worldwide. May Allaah give those brothers what they deserve. May Allaah enable me to do my part. May Allaah enable the shuyookh of the US to be just & to condemn all acts of terrorism, whether it be by the US (too many things to list) or against it whilst not succumbing to the pressure of the media & society.
"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for Allah and be just witnesses and let not the enmity and hatred of others make you avoid justice. Be just: that is nearer to piety, and fear Allah. Verily, Allah is Well-Acquainted with what you do." [Surah maidah Verse 8]

Stand For The Troops (SFTT) is a 501(c)3 educational foundation dedicated to safeguarding the physical, mental and emotional well-being of America's frontline serving and returning troops.
Presently, multiple and extended deployments, the widespread use of Improvised Explosive Devices ("IEDs") and substandard personal combat gear (see SFTT's BASIC FIVE CAMPAIGN) have resulted in a near epidemic of Vets affected by Post-Traumatic Stress ("PTS" ) and Traumatic Brain Injury ("TBI"), its frequent companion.
While senior military officials acknowledge these injuries are a serious and growing problem, diagnosis and treatment remain disjointed. Further, the military has allowed frontline troops to resume active duty while suffering from this debilitating condition and admitting to PTS on record seems to be a career stopper.
With at least 1 in every 5 soldiers and Marines—20%—returning from the Middle East suffering from PTS and overall about 18 vets a day committing suicide, we as citizens have a responsibility to Stand For The Troops and not allow PTS—and TBI—to be the tragic legacies of our time.
Among the "Life-Lines" SFTT is engaged with to help these deeply troubled Vets and active military rejoin our American way of life:
SFTT's volunteers will continue to "soldier-on" to insure that our brave young men and women serving in harm's way have the best available combat equipment and protective gear. If you haven't already done so, please contribute what you can to support SFTT's investigative reporting. Also, please consider becoming a volunteer or member of STFF and add your voice to the thousands of others who want to bring our troops home alive and in one piece.
Whether you are on active duty or retired, a friend or family member we encourage you to share your story. As proud Americans we salute our heroes and thank you for your courage and sacrifice. We want to hear from you and so do our readers.
Thank you for signing up! An email will be sent to the address you provided, asking you to confirm your sign up.
Stand For The Troops ("SFTT") is a 501(c)(3) non-profit Educational Foundation established by the late Col. David H. Hackworth and his wife Eilhys England to insure that our frontline troops have the best available leadership, equipment and training.
In the past four-plus years SFTT'S active campaign has focused on ensuring America's frontline troops get the best available individual protective equipment and combat gear.
Donations and contributions from concerned Americans help fund the SFTT website.
Includes rare footage from Hack's memorial service at Fort Myers Chapel and burial in Arlington National Cemetery.
All donations received from purchasing of The Hackworth Memorial DVD go to Stand For The Troops a 501 (c) 3 non-profit, non-partisan apolitical foundation established by Hack and his wife Eilhys to make sure that America's front-line forces—the kids Hack loved out at the tip of the spear—always have the right training, leadership and equipment to meet their assigned missions and make it home alive and in one piece.

Glenn Beck's 'Obama in Pee Pee' rejected by eBay
Conservative media personality Glenn Beck tried to sell a piece of artwork he called "Obama in Pee Pee" on eBay this week but the sale was rejected by the auction site, according to reports by NBCNews.com and U.S. News & World Report.
Beck said he created the piece, which featured a President Barack Obama toy submerged in a urine-colored liquid in jar, to exercise his First Amendment rights. He had been discussing a painting entitled "The Truth" which depicted President Barack Obama in a Christ-like pose with a crown of thorns.
Beck was given a letter from eBay on Wednesday saying the auction had been removed because it contained "bodily waste," NBCNews.com reported. Beck's website claimed the liquid was actually beer.
Bids on eBay had topped $11,000, NBCNews.com said. Beck said he would take bids by email instead.

Exciting Careers in Science, Technology, Engineering & Math
WVIZ/PBS ideastream, in cooperation with the Science and Math Achievement Required for Tomorrow (SMART) Consortium, has developed Great Job!, a video series for the 6th through 8th grade STEM curriculum, designed to raise student and community awareness of STEM careers and the college-ready/work ready education available through Ohio's K-12 and University system.
These videos take students on a "day in the life" of several Ohio-educated scientists and engineers. Each video is accompanied by an Educators' Guide that supports further investigation of the STEM career featured, as well as a look at related career opportunities.
Chris Davis is a Plant Ecologist and Janet Popielski is a Civil Engineer at the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. We follow Chris as he works to rid the park of invasive plant species, and bring back vibrant native species to the park. Afterwards, we tag along with Janet, as she shows us her work on a natural wastewater treatment plant.Lesson Plan
Dr. Todd Blackledge is a biologist at the University of Akron, who specializes in spider silk. We spend part of the video outdoors with Dr. Blackledge, as he locates spider webs in the wild, then, we follow him back to the lab where he demonstrates how to extract spider silk from a live spider, and tests its strength.Lesson Plan
Keeping an aquarium up and running is a team effort and, in this video, we meet three members of the staff at the Greater Cleveland Aquarium: Curator Stephanie White, Diver Halle Minshall, and Senior Aquarist Ray Popik. We follow the team as they care for stingrays, dive with exotic fish, and feed sharks.Lesson Plan
Dr. Spurlock explains her multi-faceted career as an anatomist, forensic reconstruction artist, and scientific illustrator. She also shows examples of her work and demonstrates how her science-based education and her artistic abilities help reconstruct the past in order to educate the general public and even solve crimes for the police department. A very talented and interesting individual!Lesson Plan
Dr. Selig talks about his job as a zoo veterinarian, his responsibilities and duties, as well as the training and formal education he received at the Ohio State University. We will follow the doctor throughout a typical day as he works with both keepers and veterinary assistants to treat the hundreds of species in his care. Two of the highlights of his round will be a routine checkup of a sloth and a physical examination of an elephant. Wait a minute... science, technology, engineering and math... at the zoo? You bet!Lesson Plan
Becky Ramsay explains how math and science are used to help her team design, test, and, at times, destroy some of the toughest hydraulic hoses in the world. Two of the highlights are the invention of new polymer materials by the division's chemist and the curing and testing of these polymer mixtures to measure their strength and versatility. Becky will also talk about her education at Case Western Reserve University and has some words of encouragement to students to study as much mathematics and science as possible to broaden interests and keep school and career options open.Lesson Plan
Funding for the coverage of education topics comes from Eaton Corporation Charitable Foundation; The GAR Foundation; The George Gund Foundation; The George W. Codrington Charitable Foundation; The Hershey Foundation; The Nord Family Foundation; The Robert O. and Annamae Orr Family Foundation; Staples Foundation; and The Cleveland Foundation.

Grab a coat, warm up by the fire and take a look at these wallet-friendly heating strategies
Source: Geoff Williams, U.S. News and World Report
Use your ceiling fan. Typically, consumers think of ceiling fans as a way to cool down, but they can also be utilized for heat, says Tom Breeden, vice president of engineering at Hunter Fan Company, based in Memphis, Tenn. He says if you set your ceiling fan to a low speed, letting it spin clockwise, the warm air trapped at the ceiling will mix with the cooler air and heat the entire room. Do this, and you might see a 15 percent savings on your heating bill for the entire house, according to Breeden.

Goods Vehicle Operator Self Service
Making an Objection, Complaint or Representation in relation to an existing Operator or application
The below document provides further guidance on making an objection or representation to an existing Goods Vehicle Licence holder or a current application. If you require further information you should email the Transport Regulation Unit at firstname.lastname@example.com. Additionally, you can write to us at the address at the bottom of this page.
A Guide to Making Representations, Objections and Complaints (128KB)
Who we are
The Department of the Environment's Transport Regulation Unit (TRU) was formed to exercise the functions of the Goods Vehicle Licensing of Operators Act (Northern Ireland) 2010 ("the Goods Vehicles Act"). This new legislation was brought in at the request of the freight industry, public representatives and consumer organisations to address the low rate of compliance by Northern Ireland Heavy Goods Vehicles. From 1 July 2012, the TRU is responsible for goods vehicle operator licensing in Northern Ireland.
What we do
The TRU issues operator licences and holds public hearings on all matters pertaining to operator licensing. It seeks to ensure that licence holders meet the standards set for entry into the commercial vehicle operator industry and seeks to minimise the environmental and road safety impact around goods vehicles operating centres. The TRU has the power to curtail, suspend and revoke operator licences; and in extreme cases disqualify people from holding an operators licence.
What the law requires and by when
The law requires that all vehicles with a gross weight over 3500kg, used to transport goods as part of a business or trade, must be covered by an operator's licence. The law came into effect from 1 July 2012 and requires all operators to sign up to a series of undertakings (detailed below). The Department will have the power to impound vehicles if they are discovered on the public road without an operator's licence when one is required.
Legislative Background
The Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act, introduced to the NI Assembly in May 2008, completed its passage through the Assembly and became an Act on 22 January 2010. The Act amends the Department's powers in relation to the regulation of goods vehicles operators, bringing Northern Ireland largely (but not wholly) into line with the current practice in place in Great Britain. The detailed provisions are being introduced through a series of sets of regulations.
The Act can be accessed at: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/nia/2010/2/contents
Types of Operator Licences
There are 3 types of operators licence.
Costs of licence
For any licence (Restricted or Standard) all applicants including those that had an existing Hire or Reward Licence before 01 July 2012 must pay the one-off £254.00 application fee. If the licence application is successful, operators will then have to pay a licensing fee of £449, which covers a period of 5 years.
How do I apply for a licence?
If you are applying for a licence you must first identify which type of licence it is you require. Information on the different types of licences are included on this page and in the linked documents below and the sidebar on the right-hand side of this page. Once you have identified the type of licence you will require please click this link which will take you to the applications section of the website where you can download the relevant application form.
Transitional Arrangements
For existing hire or reward operators, licences granted under the previous legislation, the Transport Act, will remain valid until the licence expires.
New Operators - Own Account or Hire or Reward Operators (those starting up a new business)
All new operators applying for a licence are required to meet the standards of the Goods Vehicle Act in full. This means applicants will have to satisfy standards of fitness/good repute, financial standing, establishment and professional competence as well as advertising their operating centres, meeting environmental standards and signing undertakings.
They need to complete appropriate application forms and guidance notes will be available to help them.
The completed application form along with the payment and all necessary supporting documentation should be returned to DOE, Central Licensing Office, PO Box 180, Leeds, LS9 1BU
Once an application has been processed a letter will be sent advising of its reference number. If further information is required the applicant will be advised in an initial letter.
Applicants must not operate vehicles until a licence has been issued. If an applicant needs to start operating urgently they can apply to the Department for an interim licence.

In the news release, TOMY International Announces Executive Management Transition, issued 10-Apr-2013 by TOMY International over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that the fourth paragraph, second sentence, should read "Nagatake will focus primarily on TOMY's toy and hobby business and will remain as a key liaison with TOMY Company, Ltd. to ensure global strategic alignment" rather than "Nagatake will focus primarily on TOMY's toy and hobby business and will remain as a key liaison with TAKARATOMY in Japan to ensure global strategic alignment" as originally issued inadvertently.

The following is a list of articles at the Word MVPs' FAQ site that I wrote or contributed to (some have been updated at this site):
Most Frequently Asked
Why is my "Blank Document" not blank? Perhaps the number 1 question right now. Many add-ins (especially the Norton Office Plug-in and the Microsoft Works Suite Add-in for Word) not only cause Word to prompt you to save the Normal template every time you quit Word but also seem to result in saving a document as or in Normal.dot.
"Page X of Y" displays or prints as "Page 1 of 1," "Page 2 of 2" (or "Page 2 of 1") and so on A "golden oldie": this problem was "fixed" by Word 2000 SR-1, then was reinstated by an Office XP service pack; it still tends to surface in various forms.
Formatting applied to one paragraph affects the entire document Another very popular FAQ, addressing a problem evidently caused by add-ins.
Other Application Errors
I selected a block of text and pressed Delete (or Backspace) and nothing happened! Although the article doesn't say so, this also explains why certain keyboard shortcuts don't behave as expected (you get the Find dialog when you expect to go to the top of the document, for example, or you press Enter and lose your paragraph indent).
There is a line in my document that I can't delete because I can't select it. How did it get there, and what can I do about it? (It's a border!)
Whenever I open a
document using File Open all my formatting is gone, and there is garbage at the
Text at the top of the page is unaccountably indented (explains how an orphaned page number frame can cause problems)
Whenever I try to use Equation Editor I get an error message and the program shuts down (mostly Word 97, fixed by a Service Release)
What do all those funny marks, like the dots between the words in my document, and the square bullets in the left margin, mean? Read this article! Not only does it explain what the "funny marks" are, it explains why you might sometimes want to be able to see them.
Ruler of all you survey: How to make the best use of Word's rulers If you don't have Word's rulers displayed, you're missing out on a lot of convenience.
Setting tabs: Or how to prevent tabbed paragraphs from going all over the place when pasted between documents Explains not only how but also when to use tabs (and when a table is a better choice).
The strait and narrow: using columns How and when to use columns
What is the Default Paragraph Font?
Page Layout
Creating a Template - The Basics (Part I)
What is the difference between the Normal and Body Text styles? And why you should avoid using/customizing Normal.
Typographical Tips from Microsoft Publisher
Tips and tricks for copy fitting
Booklet printing: Or how to print a folded booklet with numbered pages half the size of your paper This is one of my most popular articles. Although Word 2002 and above have a built-in booklet feature, it's just flaky enough to make a lot of users happy to use this more manual method instead.
I want the headings in my multi-column document to span the columns. How can I achieve this?
The rand "virus" (or how to insert dummy text into a document) When you're setting up a document template, you may want to get an idea of how a real document will look. There are several quick ways of inserting a block of dummy text for this purpose.
Why does the appearance (or layout) of my document change when I open it on a different machine? I created a document on my home computer and formatted it just the way I wanted it. When I took it to work and opened it there, it had completely changed. All the page breaks were in different places and my graphics were out of place. How can I make my document stay the way I want it? This is technically a "printing" problem, which is why it's also listed below under "Printing and Fonts."
Long Documents
How can I create a landscape section and still have a portrait page number? A very common problem; this article gives step-by-step instructions for all versions of Word, beginning with explanation of how to create a landscape section.
How to set up a document with front matter numbered separately Instructions for setting up a standard "long document" with front matter and chapters.
Customizing your table of contents with switches This article takes you beyond what you can accomplish through the Table of Contents dialog alone.
Why do my
footnotes sometimes end up on a different page from their references in the
I have a footnote reference in a column, and I want the footnote to span both columns. Is this possible?
Tables, Borders, and Forms
Table basics This article actually goes well beyond the "basics" thanks to the brilliant technical editing and additional content supplied by fellow Word MVP Dave Rado.
Keeping a table together on one page This article and the next one address users' common concerns about table placement.
How do I control where the page breaks will fall in a table which extends over several pages? Explains how to have heading rows repeat even when the table is broken by a manual page break and why adding some text or a row may cause most of the table to jump to the next page
I tried to use the { =SUM(ABOVE) } formula in a table but the answer was obviously incorrect (this article includes a link to the TableCellHelper macro, which provides the current cell address, along with the total number of rows and columns in the table)
Run for the border: using borders in Word
Why don't my table borders print? The difference between borders and gridlines (see also "Hiding Table Gridlines")
There is a line in my document that I can't delete because I can't select it. How did it get there, and what can I do about it? It's a border!
I'm designing a form that needs to have "fill-in-the-blanks" lines. What is the best way to create them? This article includes links to a series of forms tutorials by Dian Chapman.
Printing and Fonts
The bottoms of my pages don't print The page number, footer, or page border doesn't print or prints only partially (or one side of my landscape pages won't print). Possibly one of the most frequently asked questions in the Word newsgroups.
Word shows only one
or two fonts in its Font list
How to create fractions in Word Several different approaches to inserting or creating fractions other than ¼, ½, and ¾.
I'd like to delete some fonts, but I'm afraid I'll remove some that Word needs. What fonts do I have to keep?
Why does the appearance (or layout) of my document change when I open it on a different machine? I created a document on my home computer and formatted it just the way I wanted it. When I took it to work and opened it there, it had completely changed. All the page breaks were in different places and my graphics were out of place. How can I make my document stay the way I want it?
Customization and Backup
How to change the default settings for Word documents How to change the default font, page setup, line spacing, etc.
How can I make Word open new documents in a certain view (Normal or Print Layout) or at a specified zoom ratio? Mostly for Word 97 and earlier; the Single Document Interface in Word 2000 and above makes this iffy at best.
Word is always making changes I don't expect. How can I get more control over my formatting? AutoFormat As You Type can be tremendously helpful. It can also be extremely frustrating. You have to show it who's boss.
How can I make Word save or back up my document automatically? Explains the various options in the Save Options dialog and clears up misconceptions about "automatic saves."
Numbering and Dates
How to set up a document with front matter numbered separately
How to print two pages on one sheet of paper, with page numbering Not a substitute for booklet printing, but users do sometimes want to do this. Word 2000 and above allow you to do this through the Print or Page Setup dialog ("2 pages per sheet"); this article is aimed at earlier versions.
The graphics in my document keep reverting to their original size after I've resized them (mostly a Word 97 problem)
Creating upside down or rotated text in Word
Spelling and Correction
How to edit your custom spelling dictionary How to remove or amend a misspelled word from your custom dictionary after inadvertently pressing the "Add" button while running the spell checker
Exploiting AutoCorrect How to use this Word feature to save many keystrokes in retyping frequently used terms.
Useful Stuff
Is There Life After "Reveal Codes"? For users migrating from WordPerfect, this article describes how to get information on formatting and structure using a variety of Word tools and features.
Better than an Easter egg: Using ToolsCalculate The Calculate command is a handy substitute for a formula field that can be used anywhere.
