Ed Husain is an adjunct senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), where he focuses on trends within Arab Islamism, perceptions of the West in the Arab world, and U.S. policy toward the Middle East.
Formerly an activist of Jamat-e-Islami, Hizb ut-Tahrir, and Muslim Brotherhood front organizations in the United Kingdom, Husain has now become a strong critic of extremism and Islamism. He writes and speaks extensively on international threats from radicalization and terrorism. He has lived in Syria and Saudi Arabia, and speaks Arabic.
Husain is the author of The Islamist (Penguin, 2007), which was a finalist for the George Orwell prize for political writing. His next book is The Sufis and Me (forthcoming). He has appeared on CNN, Fox, NPR, BBC, Al-Jazeera, and has been published in the New York Times, Financial Times, Guardian, National Review, and Jewish Chronicle, among other media outlets.
Husain holds an MA from the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London.
Islamist radicalism and violent extremism continue to threaten the United States, both at home and in the greater Middle East. The Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, al-Qaeda, and their ideological affiliates do not operate in a vacuum; rather, they feed off of a combination of religious literalism and conspiracist politics. These ideas, developed over decades, include the beliefs that democracy is man-made, that only extremist understandings of God's law should be enforced, and that violent jihad is a Muslim obligation until "God's law" is manifest. Unless such ideas are challenged and discredited, extremist groups will continue to regenerate no matter how many terrorists are killed. On-the-ground Muslim groups that counter these false narratives do exist, and my work highlights how the United States and its Western allies can support and promote these initiatives. My policy innovation memorandum, "A Global Fund to Counter Violent Extremism," suggests such tactics as educating Muslim thought leaders in mosques and on university campuses through testimonies from former radicals about why Islamist hard-liners threaten Muslim communities and supporting the publication and dissemination of reading materials on normative Islam.
The debate within Muslim-majority societies over the role of Islam in government is long-standing, but more important today than ever before. Recent developments in the Middle East and beyond have many Muslims questioning the role of Islamist movements in their societies, whether in countries like Egypt, where Islamists have been pushed out of government, or in Turkey and Tunisia, where they still play an active role in government. Through op-eds and interviews, my work addresses these questions, and, moreover, how the United States should respond to the complex challenges Islamist politics pose in areas such as economic policy, women's and minority rights, and relations with Israel.

According to Ed Husain, "the answers to countering the appeal of radicalism among some Muslims in the West rests in more, not less, debating of religion, pluralist politics and integrating immigrants."

The killing of Punjab's governor, Salman Taseer, was symptomatic of widespread religious intolerance and fanaticism in Pakistan, says CFR�s Ed Husain.
The debate within Muslim-majority societies over the role of Islam in government is long-standing, but more important today than ever before. Recent developments in the Middle East and beyond have many asking how Islamist movements will shape the future of the societies in which they exist, and how the United States should respond to the complex challenges they pose in such areas as economic policy, women's and minority rights, and relations with Israel. This roundtable series, made possible through the generous support of the Smith Richardson Foundation, explores these questions and more.
This roundtable series examines the impact of Islamist movements in the Middle East and Pakistan, with special attention to innovative efforts by civil society groups to counter radicalization.

$239 for a fucking ticket!! I pulled over in front of Samurai Pie to pick up Jackson from work. In 2 seconds flat a cop came a wrote me a ticket. This is what the ticket that just came in the mail states: I am in violation of 22400A. I just looked up the violation and this is the definition;
22400. (a) No person shall drive upon a highway at such a slow
speed as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of
traffic unless the reduced speed is necessary for safe operation,
because of a grade, or in compliance with law.
No person shall bring a vehicle to a complete stop upon a highway
so as to impede or block the normal and reasonable movement of
traffic unless the stop is necessary for safe operation or in
compliance with law.
(b) Whenever the Department of Transportation determines on the
basis of an engineering and traffic survey that slow speeds on any
part of a state highway consistently impede the normal and reasonable
movement of traffic, the department may determine and declare a
minimum speed limit below which no person shall drive a vehicle,
except when necessary for safe operation or in compliance with law,
when appropriate signs giving notice thereof are erected along the
part of the highway for which a minimum speed limit is established.
Subdivision (b) of this section shall apply only to vehicles
subject to registration.
What is the definition of a " highway" ? I may fight this. Bullshit. No idea how the bars did. Wished San Diego did better during comicon but we really did our normal numbers. I was expecting mardi gras numbers.

Albany's Annual Memorial Day Parade
Veterans and active military members marched through the streets of Albany as part of the annual Memorial Day parade.
"It's very precious to me because as a kid, I was allowed to grow up and enjoy being young to know that these men prior to me, went off in their youth, and so many of them gave their lives," says Veteran, John Jankowy.
Spectators of all ages lined the streets applauding and saluting our soldiers who made the ultimate sacrifice.
"It's for the soldiers and how they fought for us," says parade spectator, Jordan Wedenbine.
Many displayed their love and appreciation for those who never made it home, a message that was emphasized on purpose during Monday's parade.
"The true cost of your barbecue today is buried in the ground," says James Ader, parade adjutant. "I miss my buddies. I don't want them to be forgotten."
"They put their lives on the line everyday," says parade spectator Tersa O'Brien. "They are the ones giving us our freedom."
A sacrafice so many of us our thankful for not just today, but always.

Empowerment of women through Web 2.0
I was excited to know about the Web 2.0 and its method of raising the voice of the women throughout the world. Through the medium of web 2.0, I got chance to introduce myself globally. Web 2.0 helped me to raise my voice and shared my experience to the world. It helped to express my thoughts and knowledge about the challenges; I had faced being a female. I got chance to read about the stories and difficulties faced by women of different part of world about which I was completely unknown. It helps me to connect with different peoples from different parts of world and know about their experience and traditions which may be completely different from mine one. I also got chance publish my journal and create a global network of supporters by using networking communications through web 2.0. These facilities given my Web 2.0 excited me a lot to learn about it.

Maine man found guilty in workers' comp theft
An Aroostook County jury has convicted a northern Maine man of theft of more than $10,000 in workers' compensation benefits.
Prosecutors said Friday that 63-year-old Stephen Tucker Sr. received more than $45,000 in benefits after injuring his hand while working at a gas station, yet later opened a small engine repair business. Evidence suggested Tucker was able to perform tasks that were inconsistent with his testimony before the Workers' Compensation Board.
Tucker couldn't be reached for comment. No sentencing date was set.
Class B theft is punishable by up to 10 years in jail. Attorney General Janet Mills said her office will go after "those who would cheat and steal, no matter who or where they are or what they do for work."

"This cute design compliments the picture of your adorable baby. Of Course they under promised and over delivered on the delivery time. Ordered on Monday and delivered on Friday."
"I love the way these announcements came out. We got the special pearl finish with the scalloped edges which gave it such a special look. They are very impressive. I wish that Tiny Prints would make a frame to hold a sample of this uniquely shaped announcement. I want to frame it and put it up in our house."
"We adore this announcement, perfect for announcing our perfect son! The colors are as is when ordering, we ordered w/ the yellow. The card stock used is excellent, really like the thickness. And our picture quality is fantastic. The picture on the back is a bit small, would be nice if they allowed a bigger picture. Completely satisfied we ordered more! Oh and delivery... It's like jimmy johns! Freaky good, freaky FAST!! Ordered on Thursday, & they were delivered on Saturday :)"
"This was a really nice announcement. It was supper easy to personalize, I tried many variations before deciding. I even put an extra picture on the back. Ordering was a snap. The shipping was really quick, in fact I was surprised how fast they came. The paper was a nice quality, and the printing was perfect. Everyone who received one commented on how cute they were (of course a cute baby will do that!). I feel like these announcements were a good value. I will definitely order from TinyPrints again."
"This card looks absolutely gorgeous! I do not consider myself particularly artistic or creative but the card turned out great thanks to the step by step instructions on the website. Also I know this card is labeled "Basil snow" but it doesn't need to be used for only winter babies. We had a May baby and I liked the design so much I used it anyways. To me it doesn't look like snow but more like cute swirly designs. Everyone has loved them! I went with semi gloss and the picture looks so clear."

Lambert: we must let 8-0 defeat go
Paul Lambert admits how Aston Villa react to their record defeat at Chelsea will tell him about the quality of the players at his disposal.
The Villa manager is looking for a positive response in tonight's home clash with Tottenham after his side were hammered 8-0 at Stamford Bridge on Sunday - the heaviest in the club's 138-year history.
It brought an end to Villa's six game unbeaten run in all competitions which had lifted them out of the Premier League relegation zone and into the semi-finals of the League Cup.
Lambert said: "You analyse Sunday but you can't over-analyse it otherwise it will drag you right down.
"You get to a point where you have to let it go and we have another game coming up against Tottenham on Boxing Day for us to rectify that.
"How do we get over it? We just go out and try to win the next game. There's no magic formula. You just go out and try to win.
"The players know themselves that they let everybody down against Chelsea.
"It's how we react; that's a good marker of a good team, how we react to it."
Midfielder Ashley Westwood believes Villa are "building something special," although he concedes there will be setbacks to overcome for the young squad of players assembled by Lambert.
He said: "We are young lads, we are going to have setbacks, we are going to have disappointing performances.
"But if the fans can stick by us, I think we're building something special here.
"We are young lads, we are still learning the game, we are not going to be at the top of our game week in and week out."
Lambert will assess the fitness of striker Gabriel Agbonlahor, winger Charles N'Zogbia and central defender Ron Vlaar ahead of the Tottenham encounter.
Agbonlahor (thigh) and Vlaar (calf) have missed the last three and six games respectively, while N'Zogbia suffered a knee injury in training ahead of the Chelsea game.
Striker Darren Bent is again ruled out with a hamstring injury while centre-back Richard Dunne is undergoing rehab work after a third groin operation.

The cost of treating asthma-related illness is on the rise.
State Comptroller Tom DiNapoli released a report showing Medicaid costs related to asthma have reached $1.3 billion statewide.
That's a 26 percent increase over the past five years.
While asthma-related death rates and hospitalization rates have dropped over the past decade, the cost of treatment continues to go up because the number of New Yorkers diagnosed with asthma is rising.
"There is much more work to be done. We should take heart from where there's been progress but recognize that the task is not complete," said DiNapoli.
"Looking more closely at Comptroller DiNapoli's study, another alarming trend is the disproportionately high prevalence of asthma in certain New York City neighborhoods, specifically Latino and African American neighborhoods," said Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito.
Lawmakers are pointing to the concentration of high pollution facilities like bus depots and waste management facilities in poor neighborhoods as a cause for higher asthma rates.

Jewelry Trade in Eastern Africa
Trade is always bustling in Eastern Africa. However, many people don't know that they have become a large market for christian jewelry. They have created amazing pieces that can help supplement the income of the local region. In this article we will talk a little more about how they have done this and what the future is.
Recently Google announced their new Android phone that will cost under $200. These phones are going to dramatically change the way business is done across the globe. For example the small African tribe that created jewelry before will now finally have access to online market places. This will allow them to begin selling their jewely online and open up a whole new trade market. If it weren't for the changing technology in the World this may not have ever happened. While Google's latest technology is just one piece of the pie internet access is constantly growing every year.
My hypothesis is that over the next few years we will see some pretty dramatic changes. With the growing dominance of Alibaba I could see them expanding into these smaller markets and making jewelry sales accessible to anyone. This will forever change the markets in Eastern Africa and allow the area to flourish.

|The whole of life is just like watching a film. Only it's as though you always get in ten minutes after the big picture has started, and no-one will tell you the plot, so you have to work it out all yourself from the clues."
― Terry Pratchett, Moving Pictures
Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving."
Some humans would do anything to see if it was possible to do it. If you put a large switch in some cave somewhere, with a sign on it saying 'End-of-the-World Switch. PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH', the paint wouldn't even have time to dry."

|" Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving." He is right about that.
Talking about the mundane here, DH and I get out of our cozy easy chairs, dash to the store, max 1/2 hour, come back with goodies. Plop down in our easy chairs, and say "we're back home". Everything is the same, except we have added something.
|The second quote reminds me of T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," where he says: "We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time."
|And I just noticed that the date reads "2/19/2013", not "12/19/2013! Talk about being non-observant, or reading what you think will be there.
Quote #3 is 'right-on'; rare is the person who can resist not touching, when the sign says "Don't touch". :>)
|Human curiosity comes through in all three.

Ford Earnings Report to Shed Light on China Ambitions
Mr. Mulally has said he is very encouraged by the new government leadership in Beijing and that's why he's putting the pedal to the metal and following through with Ford's $5 billion China expansion program.
Have you driven a Ford lately? I have -- a Ford Escape. It had good gas mileage, but I had an underwhelming impression of the structural and mechanical integrity of the 2012 model. It leads me to wonder whether Ford can build a low-cost auto in the world's largest market, where there are already offerings from every Japanese manufacturer, not to mention European carmakers.
Yet the word on the streets of Shanghai and Beijing is that there's a big group of car owners in China who are somewhat tired of driving Japanese autos and are looking for something really different. This could mean that Ford is in the right place at the right time with its expansion strategy.
Patient Ford investors are paid a dividend yield-to-price currently at 3.08%. If, just if, Ford's shares retest the April 18th intraday low of $12.65, the yield would increase to 3.16%.It literally pays to be a Ford investor, especially at a price that seems fair to you. Do your own careful due diligence and place your limit buy order accordingly. At the time of publication, Courtenay had no positions in stocks mentioned.

Beyond Green: Sleep in a Recycled Hotel
How would you like to spend the night in a 15,000-liter wine barrel? Or perhaps you'd prefer to make your home-away-from-home in an old drain pipe.
These unique lodging options aren't just quirky -- they're also environmentally friendly. And they're part of a growing array of green lodging options that range from the mundane to the bizarre. Here's a look at the latest in green lodging options around the globe for travelers of all stripes.
Reduce, Reuse...Hotels worldwide are adopting sustainable practices including energy and water conservation, waste reduction and environmental-education programs for staff and guests.
At Devil's Thumb Ranch in Tabernash, Colo., guests can enjoy 5,000 acres of what the resort calls "Raw Colorado." The ranch itself, which consists of one main lodge and 16 cabins, sits on just 1% of the property, giving guests easy access to untouched forest, meadow and streams in the heart of the Rocky Mountains.
The Broad Axe Barn, the ranch's space for weddings and events, was built with beams from a Civil War-era barn in Indiana. And the property uses environmentally friendly geothermal heating and cooling systems. Doubles start at $245 a night.There's only one environmentally friendly way to dispose of used cooking oil in Juneau, Alaska: The Westmark Baranof Hotel. The hotel collects used cooking oil from area restaurants and mixes it with regular heating oil to heat the property. (Restaurants that don't send their leftover oil to the Baranof must ship it to the lower 48 states, a very expensive alternative.) Doubles start at $119 a night. All of the herbs and seasonings used to prepare the gourmet fare at Spice Island Beach Resort in Grenada are grown on the resort property. This luxury resort takes its commitment to the environment seriously, using solar hot water heaters, maintaining a chlorine-free swimming pool and grinding up leftover guest soaps to use as laundry detergent for staff uniforms. Doubles start at $850 a night.

With Energy East Deal, Spanish Wind Firm Expands in U.S.
Written by Ucilia Wang
Wind-energy giant
The decision ends a more than yearlong effort to buy the utility, which delivers electricity and gas to three million customers in upstate New York and four other northeastern states, including Massachusetts, Connecticut and Maine.
The Wednesday decision arrived a week after the New York Public Services Commission approved Iberdrola's plan to buy Energy East for about $4.5 billion in cash, subject to a series of conditions including the assumption of about $3.8 billion in debt.The conditions also require Iberdrola to set aside $275 million as rebates to offset future rate increases, investing $200 million in wind energy in New York and selling off Energy East's fossil-fuel power plants in the state. Iberdrola faced stiff opposition from commission staff, which was concerned that the acquisition would create a too-powerful utility and hurt consumers. The commission staff had sought to require Iberdrola to set aside $646 million for rebates. The staff also recommended forcing Iberdrola to sell its wind farms and hydropower plants because of a state policy that prohibits companies from owning power-generating plants and transmission lines. The commission decided to allow Iberdrola to keep the wind and hydropower plants. The Spanish company first announced plans to buy Energy East in June last year. The purchase is part of Iberdrola's larger plan to expand its presence in the U.S. market. In fact, after the Energy East deal is complete, Iberdrola will have $20 billion worth of assets in the country, the company said. Energy East shareholders, as well as other states in which Energy East operates, already had approved the acquisition before New York regulators voted last week. In May, the company said it would invest $8 billion in renewable energy in the United States from 2008 to 2010, doubling its wind-energy capacity. By the end of the first quarter of 2008, Iberdrola's U.S. wind farms totaled a capacity of 2.4 gigawatts. The company said it planned to increase the capacity to 3.6 gigawatts by the end of this year.

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Yahya Jammeh, president of the Gambia, used his annual Christmas message to renew his attacks against homosexuality calling it an 'evil and strange social cancer'.
He encouraged Gambians to reflect on the 'pristine values' and teachings of Christianity at this time of year, having previously warned the UN General Assembly that gay people are a threat to human existence.
The president said homosexuality will 'never be condoned' and warned parents to steer children away from 'alien cultures that could corrupt their minds at this stage of their moral and psychological development'.
His commitment to delivering improved education, infrastructure and other social services to 'Gambians in every part of the country regardless of tribal, religious or political affiliation' did not extend to those of different sexual orientations.
Jammeh's attack on Gambia's LGBTI population comes as Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is under pressure to sign an anti-homosexuality bill which threatens life imprisonment to citizens caught repeatedly engaging in homosexual acts.
Gambia has a poor track record on gay rights, with homosexuality still considered a felony carrying up to 14 years imprisonment for those found guilty.
President Jammeh has previously stated his intent to introduce legislation that would allow the beheading of LGBTI citizens, and shocked scientists in 2007 when he claimed to have found a cure for HIV/AIDS which was actually just herbs and bananas.
In his United Nations address in September, Jammeh drew worldwide criticism when he claimed homosexuality is 'more deadly than all natural disasters put together'.
His Christmas message also called for Gambians to renew their allegiance to their country and to demonstrate their patriotism and sense of national pride by working harder to achieve national goals.
NOBODY can be that STUPID! There is absolutely no evidence that there has EVER been a society where homosexuality did not occur! Indeed ALL historical evidence shows that homosexuality was ubiquitous across ALL cultures, down through history! As for the history of the Ugandan people, any given man was likely to have multiple wives - with 2nd, 3rd, etc. being little more than slaves.
Stupid ... Stupid ... Stupid!!!

Palaima: 'Make an effort . . . to understand with compassion and love'
Thomas G. Palaima, REGULAR CONTRIBUTOR
Austin American-Statesman Thursday, November 23, 2006
This Thanksgiving, let us be thankful that we live in a democracy. Let us work at reviving and nurturing the principles of free and open exchange of ideas. Let us work at respecting the rights and beliefs of our fellow citizens and immigrants to our country, legal or illegal.
This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for my good friend at the University of Texas at Austin, Paul Woodruff. Paul is a kind of Longhorn Socrates, a tireless champion of public examination of ideas. He has written two Socratic books, "Reverence" and "First Democracy." They ask us to think about what democracy is. Democracy is messy, often frustrating, but worth the effort. In fact democracy is the only form of government worth the effort of all citizens, rich and poor, powerful and powerless, educated and uneducated.
We need to remember this constantly and with vigilance. How easily we can lose our way.
Take, for example, the recent selection of a new house majority leader in Congress. Speaker of the House-elect Nancy Pelosi backed John Murtha. She believed his strong views on the Iraqi war needed to be in the forefront of national consideration. There was open debate. As you know, the other candidate, Rep. Steny Hoyer, won the vote 149-86. Analysts said that Pelosi "lost, she lost publicly . . . she lost big." They said her public support for Murtha was "politically stupid."
This mentality is stupid. Solid bloc political decision-making, not standing publicly for what you believe, using a narrow majority as a mandate to push forward an extreme political agenda, all those things are stupid and detrimental to our nation.
Fortunately, we have clear examples of how democracy should work and how big must be our sense of humanity, our sense of humility, our sense of true sympathy for those who are different from us. Two shining examples have been in the public eye recently.
I am thankful this Thanksgiving that Martin Luther King and Robert F. Kennedy cared enough about our country to give their lives for it. Ground was broken recently in Washington, D.C., for a memorial to King. A movie about Kennedy just opened.
Take time this Thanksgiving weekend to gather your families and loved ones. Read or listen together to the speech that King gave on April 3, 1968, the eve of his assassination, and the speech that Kennedy gave the next day, telling the people of Indianapolis that King had been fatally shot.
Kennedy reminded his audience that he felt in his heart what they felt about the murder of King. His own brother had been killed by a white man. He spoke honestly about the anger, the righteous desire for vengeance, the hatred and bitterness black people could feel about King's assassination. He spoke of the polarization that giving way to these justifiable emotions would cause. He then called for blacks and whites to "make an effort, as Martin Luther King did . . . an effort to understand with compassion and love."
King had spoken the night before at a church in Memphis.
His speech is glorious. He begins by talking about what he would do if God Almighty gave him the chance to live at any time in human history. He surveys the great moments of the past, Egypt, the Israelites in the Promised Land, the philosophers and playwrights of ancient Athens, the Roman Empire, the Renaissance, Lincoln signing the Emancipation Proclamation, the American people during the Great Depression believing their president that "we have nothing to fear but fear itself."
King then speaks words that empowered all his listeners. He would, he declares, "turn to the Almighty and say, 'If you allow me to live just a few years in the second half of the twentieth century, I will be happy.'"
He acknowledged, "[T]hat's a strange statement to make because the world is all messed up. The nation is sick, trouble is in the land, confusion all around." But he stressed to his audience that courageous, nonviolent expression of their beliefs about freedom and justice, while not without tremendous human cost, would eventually prevail. Their actions would persuade all Americans to think and feel democratically.
With two such great examples of direct and honest speech about life-and-death issues of human justice readily available to us, we should believe, too, that no problem is insurmountable. As King told the people of Memphis, "Only when it is dark enough can you see stars." We can talk about our problems and settle our differences even by starlight.
Palaima is the Dickson Centennial Professor of Classics at the University of Texas.
