Reza Aslan: Terrorism and How to Win a Cosmic WarPolitics
- Highlights
- watch now
In his book "How to Win a Cosmic War", Iranian-American writer Reza Aslan argues that conflicts between Islamic regimes and western powers are no longer about defending borders, but about fighting for God, and seeking to propagate their religious ideas. These cosmic warriors are not expecting victory on earth, but rather looking to be rewarded in heaven.
In this feisty, challenging and utterly entertaining argument with Tony Jones at a special Big Ideas-presented session of the Sydney Writers Festival, these two intellectual heavyweights cover a lot of ground. What's the difference between a Jihadist and an Islamist? Why is the rhetoric style of George W Bush so similar to that of Osama Bin Laden? What are the true motivations of the Taliban, Hezbollah, and al Qaeda? And why is Europe emerging as the new Caliphate?
As well as "How To Win A Cosmic War", Reza Aslan is the author of the international bestseller "No God But God". He is Associate Professor of Creative Writing at Riverside University in California, and President and CEO of Alsan Media Inc. He is a frequent commentator on thedailybeast.com, and contributes to newspapers including the New York Times, the LA Times and the Boston Globe. He holds degrees in religion from Santa Clara University, The University California Santa Cruz, and Harvard University, as well as an MA from the University of Iowa. He is an Iranian-born Muslim who now lives in Los Angeles.

Reza Aslan is a brilliant scholar. He faciliates a lively interaction between scientists, philsophers and theologians on a regular basis. He is constantly labled as as an islamic scholar when he is just as knowlageable if not more knowledgeable about Christianity and the historical Jesus. Following his career post-911 is at once an expose' of the ever increasing islamophobia that continues to offend and debase arguments before they have begun. We need Reza's, let us not encourage the wet dreams of fundamentalists.

Great interview!
Sad to see some of these negative comments. (I often wonder what these people do to make their country a better place?)

Brilliant. Tony Jones finished by saying the audience would probably listent to Reza for another couple of hours without worrying - too right, I would too.
It is sad that this also attracts comments from morons and bigots.

Amazed by the ways authors these days influence readers with their extreme eloquent dominance on paper! If the end to the terrorism were as simple as Dr.Azlan's theory, wouldn't every government attempt it? His theories are acceptable but not feasible, his involvement is appreciated but not discussable and so are his soft-power approaches but wouldn't ignorance and walking away feed the terrorist more motivations than what he has suggested on the motivations the talibans are being fed on by the western governments' reactions?

I am in shock... that probably the most well-balanced discourse in recent times, on this extremely difficult issue of global conflict, could be SO misunderstood by so many. I think that scares me the most: because the extremist, illogical interpretations drawn by these narrow- minded individuals are EXACTLY what fuels the "us versus them" mentality behind "this cosmic war". It saddens me. Are we still THAT far away from peaceful co-existence in this world?

Cosmic wars albeit a fair hypothesis.
However the categorisation of the Islamic ideology into "Islam-ist" and "Jihad-ist" is a great mistake.
The separation of source of the disease into two of its symptoms, and medicating based on these bases is futile if not simply dangerous.
To allow the Islamic Nations to develop their "Islam-ist" agendas and aspirations will not in a million years reduce the growth of the "Jihad-ist". Case in point Turkey post June 2010. Aspiration of Afghanistan is to become an Islamic republic like that of Iran, as is of Turkey; regardless of their secular constitution. Islamic nationalism does not end at the boarders of the nation it is global in its aspirations and goal, Cosmic Goals if you will.
The liberal ideals of the West as one commenter said is 'decadent', and indeed this is seen as weakness and another form of legitimisation of their conduct.
Final note, theocracy or any form of Cosmic Ideology is destructive in its nature as it creates Schism deep enough to fuel these Cosmic Wars and indeed good old wars.
Islam as well as Christianity and other religions are dead forms of ideology their existence creates more of the same conflicts. As to my solution reverse psychology, justify and promote their point of view in the most primitive way possible; violence. Better yet allow them to do it themselves.

An excellent discourse.
However like with all writers today, the word ISLAM has become sort of cliché' and a badge of scholarship on Islam. Example--"argues that conflicts between Islamic regimes and western powers". The conflict between the two is between MUSLIM people and their regimes, claiming to follow a faith system, and that of the Western powers. It is purely a political and cultural clash, with the Muslim Church and its clergy riding high on the band wagon.
The other example is the spin given to the words Fundamentalism and Fanaticism, in particular to Muslims. Neither of them are part of the Faith called Islam, which is a faith of moderation. Religions of all sorts are and have been embroiled in fanaticism and it is not a particular trait of Muslim churches and their Priests.
George Bush's crusade and Osama's struggle are one glaring recent example, but because the former was a head of State, his actions of State sponsored fundamentalism using military is considered as "secular" in nature the other's Islamic terrorism/fundamentalism etc.!
DS from USYD :

finally someone who can take a step back and see the big picture rather than jumping to the first emotional responce. there is so much more to Middle East conflict than JUST religion and difference (us versus them). Western imperialism as it exists today, authoritarian governments and the everyday greivances of lack of freedoms, health, education etc. breed extremeism more than the inherent characteristics of Islam.
thank you Reza for being so critical of all perspectives invovled. if we in the West can't critique ourselves then we have no chance of progress and the same goes for the Middle East.
a most interesting conversation. can't wait to read your books.
The Slog :

The Western diplomatic Establishment continues to be clueless about the Islamist outlook in general, and the Arabist mentality in particular.
It thus fails to grasp how almost every move made by the West in relation to Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, Al Q'eida and Palestine is perceived by that mental outlook as weak and devious...or as Hitler used to say of democracies, 'decadent'.
However, I doubt very much if most atheist or Christian Europeans care much what precise schism the thick headcase with the bomb in his or her backpack represents.
Nobody but the Islamists WANTS a cosmic war, but it is what we're going to get.
That being the case, it'd be a good idea right now to wise up to this, and do two things:
1. Stop making empty, sanctimonious gestures about Israeli actions - while in private wondering what the hell to do with an enemy who hates either discussion or democracy. And
2. Start drawing serious lines in the sand - but NOT then drawing more of them further and further back.
You only have to look at Iran having a laugh over nuclear controls to see what these guys are about.
Trust me - as an Arabist myself, I can tell you they think we're a joke enemy. The more they think this, the more dangerous to world peace they are going to be.
(And before anyone gets the idea I'm a braindead racist, let me just say that my daughter's live-in boyfriend is of Iranian parents...but sane, tolerant, good and nice)

Thankyou ABC and Big Ideas for allowing such a debate and interesting discussion to be aired on TV. It was very interesting and insightful. I learnt a lot from this discussion and I'm pretty sure many other viewers would agree.
Thankyou once again.

To Shaykh Idris.
I will gladly go to hell and burn baby burn. I am willing to take this risk.
I am willing because I don't believe in superstition and myth. So let me get this correct. Anyone who doesn't believe in what you do wil go to hell?
Do me a favour mate, show me in practice on this earth that your God exists. Call on him in front of me to do a miracle, eg an amputee grow another limb etc. If you can do it I will convert to your self centred religion or any other if they can do it!

At last, an internally consistent, analysis. Criticisms of Reza Aslan's position as arrogant defy reason. If I lived in Gaza, I'd have voted for those who provided basic services. If only we in the west could be aware of the damage patronising 'the other' does, and just move on. That which unites us is greater than that which divides us.

to much freedom we have given to you ( along with many other things)
the more we gieve , the more you take
and you demand more!
can Christian preachers do exactly what you and your people all have been doing in the west ( preaching Islam, try all ways to turn the host nations into muslim
like those unbelieveable ones openly declar so on tv ! and criticising our goverments )
we tolerate , you don't
we give,
you recieve

you and your subjects are on the receiving end (you come to our land in search of a better life) yet full of arrogance!
it's you come to us rather than we go to you !
without the west where would you all be now?
why don't you go to live in say Jordan or Egypt instead
& oh yes, there was a Jordanian muslim who was so desparate to go to usa yet hates usa goverment!
he said all these contradicting things to us !
it's was 3 year ago, so possibly he's there now like a paracite & like you
usa's strong fundation was built by my forefathers and thier forefathers over several hundreds of years
not by you

Prussia fought every war they ever fought but the last one for England, then England wiped Prussia of the Map.
Todays friends are tommorrows enemies, todays enemies are tommorrows friends. Russia helped England & America win WW2, then what.
Over population is the problem, unsustainability of population explotion. Between 1600 & 1900 England migrated 60 million souls around the world to America, Australia & N.Z. The Germans migrated 7.5 million, can you see why America, Aust., N.Z and Canada fought Germany. Can you see hwy all wars were fought on European soil, to et rid of people.
150 million people in 2 wars between 1915 and 1945. Your an idiot

I just love these discussions. We all need to listen and digest all sides if we want a peaceful and harmonious world. My only complaint was the sound my end. Only speakers on computer. Question time was a dead loss as far as sound is concerned but I got the drift. Personally I want more, more ... and with passion and commitment. Isn't this technology wonderful!!!! ???
You don't have to watch or listen to 'drive' or 'ads'. Fantastic!

there are so many of you living and all talking in the west
all talking but no action
the real patriotic ones are in your home land right now-doing the dirty work for those who are obsesed with living in the west and just doing the talking from such a long distance
with such ununderstandable arrogance
a nation full of problems will not be talked into fruition

I found the discussion very interesting, intellectual, factual, passionate and earthy! I reckon Jehovah God looks down on all human beings and thinks what a waste of time, good energy feeling much sorrow for what mankind subject each other to. The greatest commandment of all is to "love your neighbour as you love yourself"
Darren Smith :

Brilliant interview! And Sue, Vee & Susan I'm with you.
What a brilliantly eloquent, opened minded view to this global issue. This man is brilliant and I believe the media needs to put more of a spot light on people such as this to put an end to this anti Muslim viewpoint.
It's really sad to hear people stating that he should go back to where he came from, and statements from people like pete stating; "all those muslim clergies in Europe must be deported to their homelands-they ARE DANGEROUS keeping up their breeding speed, they"ll turn our land into their muslim homelands".
It seems these people have a very narrow and bigoted view to this issue which seems to be based on fear. I'm almost ashamed of these people who hold these narrowed views, especially as I have many Muslim friends who are good, honest, caring and law abiding citizens and wanting exactly the same thing as me. To be happy and safe!
This man should be commended for being so brilliantly poignant to the afflictions of people's current "muslim phobic" views which are so based on fear and not fact. For all those who are apposed to this man you really need to pay more attention to the "fear of loss of identity" as this is where your fear & prejudice stems from. And if you still don't get it? that is REALLY sad.
Well done Reza, you have inspired me and opened my mind and given me a more open view and broader understanding to this ongoing issue.
aurelie :
03 Jun 2010 9:38:57am
I feel so sorry for people who couldn't understand a word of what he said because they are so narrow minded and refuse to listen to him, because of his name, skin colour, where he was born. I recommend those of you to travel around the world and meet people from different countries, then you will realize dispite the cultual, religious differences, most people want the same thing, happiness for the family, the world peace. You will realize the people you thought faceless crazies are the same human beings, can have tea together, joke, discuss, play chess together etc, just like you do with your friends here.
So get a job and stop receiving dole, (which hardworking immigrant people pays for you by doing shitty jobs and pay tax), travel, meet and listen to people, then you will stop having this hatred thought, arrogant thought that you are better than the others. Then you will be able to start thinkiing positively about world peace, like Reza.

Why on earth some people wasting their time watching something that they can't understand and why on earth they comment on something that they haven't understood at all?!

Please Ms Sue Winton Smith do not accuse me being a facist: I am not, not at all.
Being a native English man and used to live in the uk till my retirement, also visited France many times, no one wants to hear foregners (regardless of religion & race ) critcise their lands while them living there!
I remember vividly some native French turists criticising our weather and they were immediately told to go home!
Same as when I was visiting France (used to have a villa there ) and criticising why those French eat snails, we were told to go home !
It's all very logical

riley :

political detectorship and religious detectorship are all no good all about power and control
so many muslims and their offspring escape to the west could have formed a formiable group and fight back in their homelands, but no.
Instead they just want be in the advanced west
Instead of helping to build a better Islamic world politically and economically they are determined to be one of us-yet never quite
No real national pride and no real patriotism either
Patriotic people don't abandon their homelands in time of national crisis
Reza Aslan simply wants it all
Sue Smith :

I had no idea that so many people could watch an interview , and stil not'' hear'' or understand..what was said!
So riley,pete,and of course yale ...please listen again and this time maybe ..just maybe, you will hear something!
This was a very clear and consise
interview ,which has for me made so much sense .I am amazed and hopefull that people will actually listen and act . Maybe there will be a future,for us all to get along together.!!

Susan :
02 Jun 2010 6:54:10pm
I absolutely agree. I'm not good at politics but this articulate man made so much sense and I feel I have a better grasp of the whole JiHad/Taliban/Moslem problem. The solution to give more autonomy to Moslem groups and allow them political power is absolutely right. Those alienated by a nationalism in which they don't fit, whose identity is threatened are dangerously susceptible to JiHad etc. Our FEARFUL reactions only increase the divide.
Jane :
03 Jun 2010 7:57:07am
I agree! I'm wondering if they saw he same interview I did. Or are people completely propagandized by the CNN view of the world. I'm not a Muslim and for the first time I actually started to understand a situation I found confusing and felt powerless about.

Well, I see two of the commentators here haven't heard a word.
I didn't hear one word promoting Islam. Where did you get this idea?! I was brought up basically Anglo-Christian and I cannot for the life of me see the difference between the extremism of Bush's actions and those of the "terrorists". I encourage you to GO SPEAK TO MUSLIMS. You'd be amazed: they want much the same things as you and I. Just as I'd be horrified and angry to be lumped in with the racist element in Australia, I think you'd find most Muslims would be horrified and angry to be lumped in with some of the people you are talking about.
Did you support his ideas about democracy in the Middle East??!!

Fatima :
02 Jun 2010 12:14:59pm
If the previous commentators had paid any attention to the discussion, perhaps thay would have heard that part of the reason there is so much oppression in Muslim countries is the US's legitimisation of the dictatorships that prevent moderate Muslims from forming successful democratic governments. There were ample examples of the success of Islamic democracy WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE. When the US or other nations refuse to allow Muslims to live as they wish in their countries and continue to prop up illegitimate dictatorships, immigration to the more powerful nations is expected.
Nina :
05 Jun 2010 3:32:33pm
Very clearly stated and so true. Unfortunately
many of these commentators wont understand you because all they see is the colour of Rezas skin and the fact that he is a Muslim.he is right extremism and violence flourish when people are treated as "the other" and not given a chance to have a say in shaping their own lives.
Nina :
05 Jun 2010 3:27:08pm
Where did you get the idea he is arguing that Islam is really that good.
He is saying that Islamic groups like
Hammas and Hezbollah should be allowed to take their views
to elections and be judged by those they seek to serve.
Hes saying that when they are denied this jihadism flourishes.
yale :
02 Jun 2010 5:13:31am
If Islam is really that good, why so many Muslims are so desparate to hold tight to the wealthy West?
On one hand being critical of the West on the other they are so determined to live in the wealthy West-with all kinds of excuses.
This Reza Aslan, full of himself and psychological manupulations, yet afterall, still is an USA citizen!
living and making money in the West!
The West is not only his safeheaven but also his spring board!
This guy is exactly the same as those Muslim scholars living and breeding fast in Europe yet critical of the West & are determined to live there.
Afterall, it's all about money-rather than so called political asylum which is a term greatly miss used.
Please Mr Reza Aslan, give up your American passport& go back to Iran with your people and help to build a prosperous Islamic world rather than despately holding onto the West like a paracite and a coward!
Please, just pack and go!
S Winston Smith :
02 Jun 2010 12:25:27pm
"On one hand being critical of the West on the other they are so determined to live in the wealthy West."
What's wrong with that? Isn't it a democratic right to be critical of the country or the system under which you live?
I don't know maybe you're a fascist and fascists killed diggers: think about that.
Gin :

We just moved to the Smyrna area and need to find a pediatrician for our 2 yr old son and our next little boy due in June. I will be delivering at MTMC and want to find a pediatrician that is open to delaying vaccinations as we choose to do. Thanks for any recommendations!
Looking for Pediatrician in Smyrna area that is open to delayed vaccines
Comments (4)
This may not help if your looking only in Smyrna, but I just found our pediatrician in Nashville who is wonderful and very open with the delayed/selective vaccine schedule. Her name is Stacey Williams and she's with Tennessee Pediatrics. I can't remember the road she's off since I got lost trying to go there lol, but she shouldn't be too far away from you. I met with her and she was wonderful. Her husband is actually a doctor in Nashville that deals mostly with infectious disease studies so he and she both have a lot of knowledge about vaccines. I was EXTREMELY impressed. I was referred to her by our Hypnobirthing instructor. HTH!
We went to Cent. Ped in smyrna for the first year and a half and they are very supportive of shots in a certain order,. I did delay my DD's MMR shot and just signed a wavier for it.
Thanks! I will check into both! I am not looking only in Smyrna but don't want to go too far either :)
One is like one and two is like twenty.

Trend Watch: June 4, 2009
I do believe this is the month for weddings. Whether the ceremony is in a backyard garden, chapel or church, June is the most popular month to marry. The centuries-old tradition began with the Romans. Juno, goddess of women and marriage and for whom the month of June was named, vowed to protect and bring prosperity to those who wed in her month. These days, the number of June weddings probably has more to do with good weather than a goddess. It also means many of us will be shopping for a wedding gift, if not this month then in August or September, two other popular months for weddings. Here are a few gift ideas. Check out retailers' picks for gifts and wedding planning on this page. > Toasting flutes > Crystal vase > Cake knife and server set > Recipe book with favorite family recipes > Anything on the gift registry > A bottle of fine wine with instructions to open on their first anniversary > Spending money and a honeymoon destination guidebook

1. Never use a stainless steel spoon while cooking in non-stick pans. Plastic and wooden spoons are best for non-stick pans.
2. Do not wash the non-stick pans as soon as they are used. Allow them to come to room temperature and then wash with a mild soap solution with room temperature water.
3. Use a nonmetallic scrubber to clean the pans.
4. If the pans are not going to be used for a longer period of time, cover with a newspaper and stack.
5. Never stack the non-stick pans one above the other.
6. Make sure that the pans are not too hot while cooking.
7. Do not use any acidic medium while cleaning.
8. Do not use any sharp objects like knife or fork in the non-stick pans.
9. Do not put the non-stick pans directly in the oven. The high temperatures may weather the coating.
10. Prepared food should never be stored in a non-stick pan. Remove the food immediately and clean it.

Abstract. Augustine, and following him some major theologians of the early Christian church, noted the apparent discrepancies between the first two chapters of Genesis and suggested an interpretation for these chapters significantly different from the literal. After examining a selection of the relevant texts, we shall follow the later fortunes of this interpretation in brief outline, figuring in particular an unlikely trio: Suarez, St. George Mivart, and Thomas Henry Huxley. Moral: Darwinian theory might plausibly be construed as implementing, unawares, a suggestion from that other Christian tradition.

The plugin works, hence the one star. WordPress is open source, so improvements have to be shared, and however reluctantly, WordPress.com decided to eventually share. One shiny star for you!
However the connections to WordPress.com for modules that don't need WordPress.com are unacceptable -- requiring all your non-Wordpress.com multisite users to register first at WordPress.com.
See what I did there? I'm copying their WordPress.com writing style at WordPress.com from WordPress.com sponsored by WordPress.com which appears in headers, overlays, plugin descriptions, and elsewhere, bragging about WordPress.com on your non-Wordpress.com site while saying you are getting WordPress.com functionality without using WordPress.com.
WordPress.com! Wee. Fun.
It's even called "Jetpack by WordPress.com." Thanks, guys, I nearly missed that connection.
So, if you have your own multisite, in many situations, you are going to be offering your time/services which may be in competition with -- you guessed it -- WordPress.com.
Typically, they wouldn't be in direct competition, and your multisite is a niche thing with specific benefits that ugh WordPress.com cannot, will not, and does not offer. However, do you think your less-web-savvy users will understand that? Maybe not.
And, yet, your users have to go sign up on... that other site... in order to use your multisite.
This is all so completely, totally, and utterly obvious that clearly someone in the WordPress corporate offices decided, "Screw 'em. Because money." So: One star! Enjoy it!
And shame on the dot org folks for letting this slide. No stars for you.

The spouses of service men and women sometimes connect with each other for just a short time before they must move to a new base or even a new country. Social media is a vital resource for these people to create relationships and maintain them over long distances. We've Never Been the Same: A War Story By Jay Allison and Adam Piore • May 24, 2015 Adam Piore / Transom.org All wars are the same, it is said; only the scenery changes. And the repercussions are pretty much the same too. At Fort Campbell before deployment, Delta was a ragtag bunch, the "leftovers" as one of their fellow soldiers put it, but on the night of March 18th, 1968, they became heroes. World Views: July 11, 2014 By Brian Hardzinski, Suzette Grillot & Rebecca Cruise • Jul 11, 2014 Listen Listening... / 23:30 Listen to the entire July 11, 2014 episode. Rebecca Cruise and Suzette Grillot discuss the escalating situation between Israel and Palestine, both the real and potential impact of host nation Brazil's loss this week in the World Cup. Then a conversation with national security analyst Linda Robinson about her book One Hundred Victories: Special Ops and the Future of American Warfare. She spent two years in Afghanistan joining U.S. Special Forces on combat missions, while still knowing when to stay out of the way. Beyond Hollywood, 'Call Of Duty': Why Special Forces Are The Future Of The U.S. Military By Brian Hardzinski & Suzette Grillot & Trevor Ford • Jul 10, 2014 Sgt. David Russell / U.S. Army The so-called "light footprint strategy" has been a hallmark of President Obama's military engagement strategy as he pulled U.S. troops out of Iraq and winds down the U.S. presence in Afghanistan. That drawdown of massive units of soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines and civilian support staff means a stronger reliance on smaller, more elite military groups. Defense Budget Could Force Cuts To Tinker AWACS Reservists By Brian Hardzinski • Mar 12, 2014 Kool Cats Photography / Flickr Creative Commons A reserve unit housed at Tinker Air Force Base that performs Airborne Warning and Control System missions would be deactivated if lawmakers pass the fiscal year 2015 defense budget. The 513th Air Control Group partners with active duty military to provide crews and personnel during the AWACS missions. Unit commander Col. David Robinson says 345 citizen Airmen would be affected by the cuts. Pension Cut Angers Senate's Staunchest Military Supporters By David Welna • Dec 22, 2013 In the two-year, $2 trillion budget deal that cleared the Senate last week, one item, worth just one-sixth of 1 percent of that total, was the reason many senators said they voted against it. That item would produce some $6 billion in savings by shaving a percentage point off annual cost-of-living adjustments, and it would apply only to military pensions. Not all military pensions — just the retirement paid to veterans younger than 62. Other-Than-Honorable Discharge Burdens Like A Scarlet Letter By Quil Lawrence • Dec 9, 2013 Eric Highfill spent five years in the Navy, fixing airplanes for special operations forces. His discharge papers show an Iraq campaign medal and an Afghanistan campaign medal, a good-conduct medal, and that he's a marksman with a pistol and sharpshooter with a rifle. None of that matters, because at the bottom of the page it reads "Discharged: under other than honorable conditions." What Does Dwight D. Eisenhower Have To Do With 2013 Sequestration? By Brian Hardzinski & Suzette Grillot • Feb 21, 2013 Jacque Braun / tumblr Listen Listening... / 14:22 Suzette Grillot's interview with Col. Lawrence Wilkerson As Congress tries to avoid a looming set of sharp, across-the-board spending cuts that would strike the Pentagon and domestic agencies in just two weeks, a former State Department official says the Department of Defense could avoid "clumsy" automatic cuts by starting with personnel. "In World War II, we had fewer flag and general officers than we do now," said retired U.S. Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson. "Wow. People are anywhere from 50-60 percent, depending on whose records and analysis, of the DoD budget. They are so expensive." Wilkerson served as former Secretary of State Colin Powell's Chief of Staff from 2002-2005.

The state says it takes 21 hours for the painting to take place and then dry property.

The explosion left three dead and five others injured. Roxas added three teams of bomb-sniffing dogs were used to scour the blast site and so far, there was no indication a bomb caused the explosion. The secretary, however, was quick to point out they are not ruling out anything until the probe is done. Meanwhile, motorists were advised to avoid the Mckinley Parkway road because it is closed to traffic due to ongoing investigations although surrounding establishments are open to consumers.

Comments On Jun 11, 2015:I haven't had them fog yet and so far I haven't had problems with dust getting in my eyes. It has a button on one side which makes it real nice since you aren't wearing out the velcro constantly. It would be nice if it had the button on both sides, which is why I give it 4 instead of 5.

Comments On Apr 10, 2015:These are ok but I don't like the look of the vintage leather styling. The Velcro came off my helmet after some mud was flung at a race and they sit on my shelf now.

Comments On Apr 12, 2015:I bought these goggles as an experiment to see if I would like the speed strap and to see if the velcro fasteners would cause any potential issues while riding. I have been impressed with these goggles and the speed straps have shown to be convenient and reliable.

Comments On Aug 14, 2014:Like that you don't have to work the strap over your riding camera, and when you take a short break during riding you just take the goggles loose from one side, and then quickly reattach them when you are ready to go.

In Roger Donaldson's The Recruit, Colin Farrell plays M.I.T. graduate James Clayton, whose astonishing computer prowess catches the attention of C.I.A. agent Walter Burke (Al Pacino). Burke enlists Clayton to join the organization, bringing the young man to a top-secret, governmental compound nicknamed The Farm, where Clayton will train as a C.I.A. operative. While at The Farm – a hall-of-mirrors environment where, we're told ad nauseum, "nothing is what it seems" – Clayton falls for fellow recruit Layla (Bridget Moynahan), who, Burke later reveals, is secretly a mole, attempting to sabotage the C.I.A. from within; Clayton's assignment is to catch her in the act. Will Clayton's love for Layla threaten his allegiance to the C.I.A.? Does Layla even have a secret agenda? Is Burke really who we think he is? Is anything what it seems?

ANALYZE THAT and EMPIRE
It's enough to make a grown movie-critic weep: You rave about Solaris, a science-fiction work that's psychologically rich, challenging, and incredibly unusual, and you read in the paper that the audience-tracking firm Cinemascore has ranked it the most universally loathed major release in 20 years. You check out the top-10 list from the National Board of Review, the first organization to hand out year-end kudos, and realize that only one of those 10 films has (as yet) made it to the Quad Cities, and that one only stayed for a week at Moline's Nova 6 Cinemas. And you eagerly look forward to a December weekend of new releases – surely some of those terrific-looking titles will finally appear? – and your only options are Analyze That and Empire.

On economic indicators, Washington state usually does well. Our average income, at nearly $38,000, is slightly higher than the nation's, and our 9.2 percent unemployment rate is slightly lower. When it comes to bankruptcy, however, we've gone bust.
According to an Associated Press report out today, the state saw a 45 percent increase in bankruptcies in 2009--beating the 32 percent increase nationally.
Why?"It's probably because we were doing better than the rest of the country until last year," says Edmund Wood, one of seven attorneys in King County appointed by the federal government to serve as trustees in the individual bankruptcy cases known as Chapter 7 filings. Now, bankruptcy filings show, the recession has caught up with us--and with what Wood calls "a whole different segment of the population."
One year ago, Wood says, he dealt with a lot of poor people. Of the 60 cases he'd handle at any given time, only five or six involved people who owned their own homes. In contrast, 58 of 60 cases during a recent period involved real estate.
He's currently handling the case of a woman who owns a $3.5 million house on Lake Washington. The onetime health care executive recently lost a job that paid $400,000 a year. At the same time, she accumulated a $2 million tax debt on a side business she owned. When times were good and financing was easy, the woman could have borrowed against her house to pay the debt, Wood observes. Not now.
Many others he's seeing are people who lost their shirts in the real estate industry, whether as developers or contractors.
Makes sense, says state economist Arun Raha. He points out that nearly one-third of the 160,000 jobs lost in this state since February 2008 have been in the construction industry.

Recently, NORD's partners at Frontline Medical Communications (FMC) shared the results of a survey conducted among physicians who received a Rare Neurological Disease Special Report co-published by FMC and NORD.
Nine out of 10 respondents indicated that the content was somewhat or very useful, with 91% saying it would help them improve patient care, screen patients more proactively and treat them more effectively.
These findings are consistent with responses to a survey conducted by FMC among physicians and other healthcare professionals last year in which 88% of 1,632 respondents agreed that there is a need for more professional content on rare diseases. In that survey, 75% of the HCPs acknowledged that they have patients with rare diseases and 78% said they had searched the medical literature for information about rare diseases during the previous 12 months. read more >
A few members of the community have brought a social media conversation to our attention that inaccurately describes NORD's involvement in state-based Rare Disease Advisory Councils. Because the issues of state advocacy and collaboration are so important, we would like to set the facts straight.
Rare Diseases United Foundation (RDUF) did approach NORD to support legislation to be introduced in several states establishing these councils, similar to the legislation referenced in Connecticut. We reviewed the legislation with the support of our members, at which time it was determined that without certain revisions we could not in good faith promote the legislation.
After receiving phone calls and emails from our members on this issue, we contacted RDUF in February expressing interest to support this effort and to communicate our concerns over a few of the common provisions that appeared in all of the state bills. The changes we proposed would prioritize increased patient and organizational membership on the councils, and coordination with other state and federal efforts. Those changes were declined by RDUF.
NORD was then approached by a representative at our Connecticut State House Event for support and input on H.R. 6580, which the representative had drafted and modeled after the Massachusetts and Rhode Island state bills without our consultation. We, along with several advocates, reviewed the bill and met with the representative to propose changes, which included:
1. Remove NORD from the Council and to instead include up to 3 representatives from patient-based organizations operating within the state
2. Improve representation on the Council:
a) Increase physician participation to 10 representatives, and include the following specialties: gastroenterologist, psychologist, pediatrics, metabolic specialists, and genetics
b) Increase both rare disease survivor and caregiver participation to 2 representatives, one of which would include a pediatric caregiver
c) Include a representative from the State Newborn Screening Program
d) Include a representative from the State Department of Education
The proposed changes did not include a request for government funding, but rather stated that the Advisory Council should be allowed "to apply for and accept any grant of money from the federal government, private foundations, or other sources which may be available for its operation and State programs related to rare diseases."
We do not support naming any specific organization(s) in these bills because we believe that is inappropriate for any legislation intended to benefit the entire rare disease community. The Council should be as inclusive as possible. As well, representation is best suited for those living in and managing the day-to-day care of rare disease patients in the given state.
We are happy to share our proposed changes with any interested advocates. Additionally, since the bill is still in committee, the representative's office has indicated that the public still has the opportunity to submit other changes that would improve the legislation. (Please Note: the current version of the bill available online does not reflect changes proposed by NORD and other rare disease advocates. The changes are currently being reviewed by the Public Health Committee and Connecticut Department of Health.)
Our team is made up of dedicated and compassionate patients, parents and advocates. We are in the fight against rare diseases alongside you fighting for all 30 million Americans – including the ones we love and have lost.
The final 2015 State House Event took place yesterday. Now that all of the numbers are in, take a look at (and share!) this year's highlight reel & recap:Together, we planned and hosted 32 State House Events in capitol buildings across the U.S., up from last year's 12 State House Events
With all of our efforts, Rare Disease Day continues to grow! Thank you to everyone who planned and attended events, joined the social media campaign, changed their profile photos, shared infographics, and got involved. As the official U.S. sponsor of Rare Disease Day, NORD thanks everyone who came together to support this truly community and group effort. Together, we are strong!

NORD's Assistant Director of Public Policy, Paul Melmeyer, authored this great piece (below) in the March 2015 issue of the NCC Collaborator, the monthly publication from the National Coordinating Center for the Genetic Service Collaboratives (NCC). NCC focuses on bringing quality genetic and newborn screening services to local communities, and building bridges between public health, primary care/ Medical Home, geneticists and other specialists, and families and consumers. You can read the piece and March issue online here.
Promoting StateBased Policy through NORD's Rare Action Network ®
Submitted by Paul Melmeyer, Assistant Director of Public Policy, National Organization for Rare Disorders
Since the passage of the Affordable Care Act in 2010 and the subsequent Supreme Court decision allowing states to decide whether to expand their Medicaid programs, decisions about healthcare coverage and quality standards for patients with rare diseases are increasingly being made at the state level. From public health initiatives, such as newborn screening programs, to insurance plan structure and coverage regulations, state governments play an integral role in facilitating the access of quality, affordable care for individuals with rare diseases.
For 31 years, the National Organization for Rare Disorders (NORD) has served as America's leading patient advocacy organization for patients with rare diseases. Following the passage of the Orphan Drug Act in 1983, NORD has been involved in numerous Federal policy initiatives, including the Rare Diseases Act of 2002, the Affordable Care Act, and the Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act (FDASIA), among others.
Beyond our policy efforts, NORD represents over 220 organizations for individuals with rare diseases and provides education and coordination services for patients and their families. read more >

Is Greed Good?
Reframing Business Education
Another interesting approach has been launched by the Aspen Institute's Center for Business Education. Giving Voice to Values, an ethics and leadership curriculum developed by the Aspen Institute Business & Society Program, with the support of the Yale School of Management, "focuses on ethical implementation and asks the question: What would I say or do if I were going to act on my values?" Self-assessment, effective ways to raise values-based issues, scripting and practicing values-based conversations, as well as coaching and peer reviews are important distinctive of this innovative approach.
This is just the beginning of a wave of change that is taking place in business education. Business deans and faculties are searching for ways to enrich the moral education that is offered in MBA programs. Creating a Manager's oath is a promising start, as are efforts to broaden the ways we train business leaders. The "new normal" of business has not yet been codified, but one thing seems to be certain -- the purpose of business as defined by Friedman appears to be changing. Maximization of shareholder wealth alone doesn't feel compelling in this day and age, and it certainly doesn't capture the imagination of market participants. With all due respect to fiduciary responsibility to company shareholders, we need something grander, more compelling, and more sustainable. It is time for practitioners and academics, alike, to work together to create and live out such a framework.

I'm at 11w4d and haven't really had any morning sickness to speak of, although my gag reflex has been overly sensitive throughout my whole pregnancy thus far. However, today that changed... got hit by a MASSIVE wave of "morning" sickness at around 11:00 today, and have been trying to battle it without having to vomit. Needless to say I did NOT win the battle... =[
Feeling a little better after "letting loose", but still timid and cautious about eating my lunch, though I know I need to (have only had one slice of banana bread thus far today...)
Anyone else start getting these kinds of symptoms later in pregnancy vs. right away?

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.

The backstage heat appears to have been soothed over. Graham announced through social media that Triple H has offered him a legends contract to get back into the good graces of the company.

NXT marketing
One of the reasons why Vince McMahon is starting to become a big fan of NXT is the fact that the brand was able to sell out tickets to a live event without needing to promote the matches. That means that fans are simply showing up because they support the brand in whole. WWE live events usually reveal the main event matches that will be taking place on the card. This gives Triple H a bit more leverage when it comes to backstage politics.

HHH buries Lashley
When Bobby Lashley left WWE, a lot of fans were left wondering why he was never given the chance to be the top star. Some even suggested that racism was a factor. However, the latest reports are suggesting that it could have been the typical backstage politics that kept him from being given bigger pushes.

Actelion Ltd.
) announced the launch of Opsumit 10 mg in the U.S. for the
treatment of patients suffering from pulmonary arterial
hypertension (PAH WHO Group I) to delay disease progression.
Disease progression includes events like death, commencement of
intravenous or subcutaneous prostanoids or clinical worsening of
The SERAPHIN study established the effectiveness of Opsumit in
PAH patients with predominantly WHO Functional Class II-III
symptoms treated for an average of 2 years. Opsumit was approved
by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on Oct 18, 2013
The approval of the drug in the EU for the PAH indication is
also on track. Last month, Actelion received a positive opinion
from the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP)
for Opsumit. Actelion is looking to get Opsumit approved in the
EU as monotherapy or in combination, for the long-term treatment
of PAH in adults of WHO functional class II to III. A final
decision on Opsumit should be out by year end. It has also filed
for approval in other regions.
Opsumit is also being evaluated in a pivotal phase III program
in patients suffering from digital ulcers associated with
systemic sclerosis. Results from this study are expected in the
first half of 2014. In addition, Opsumit is being evaluated for
the treatment of glioblastoma (phase I).
We believe the launch of Opsumit in the U.S. will strengthen
Actelion's cardiovascular portfolio. Opsumit is the first drug to
have proved its efficacy in delaying disease progression over the
long term in PAH patients. However, the PAH market looks
extremely competitive with the presence of
