The Friends of the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library and Mississippi University for Women partner for the final April Table Talk presentation. MUW students, who are taking Dr. Erin Kempker's course, Religion in American History, will present their research on "New Perspectives on Local Religious History" on Wednesday, April 30, starting at noon.
The students spent the semester learning about how religion influenced the American experience and have put their skills to the test by conducting research into local religious history at the Local History Department of the Columbus Lowndes Public Library and the MUW Archives.
"History is not just about passive learning, although most of us really enjoy good story-telling," said Dr. Kempker. "The study of history requires that students 'do' history, which means that they conduct original research and ideally share it with the public."
"We are very excited to have the opportunity to share our work," Kempker noted. "The projects reveal the diverse interests of the students, but all the projects uncover different facets of how religion influenced the local community and local history."
"There's a great variety in the students' concise, focused presentations," said Friends member Jo Shumake. "We hope that everyone will take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about our past."
The students' presentations cover the following topics:
Table Talks are held at the Columbus-Lowndes Public Library, 314 Seventh St. N. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for those wishing to bring their lunch and socialize before the program begins. The Friends will serve iced tea.

Fool-time job will earn Cumbrian castle jester beer money
Last updated at 13:23, Monday, 02 April 2012
A Lake District castle is searching for a new jester to keep its owners and their visitors happy.
Aspiring jesters will compete for the prestigious job at the International Jester Tournament at Muncaster Castle, which will be held on the final day of the its jubilee festival in June.
The winning jester will receive a crate of Jennings Cumberland Ale every month for a year as well as the prestigious title Fool of Muncaster.
Muncaster is home to the original Tom Fool and is the only castle in the world believed to appoint its own modern-day jester.
Peter Frost-Pennington,whose family lives in the castle, said: "We've had some fabulous fools entertaining us in the past, but especially in Jubilee year, we'd love to see more funny and fearless females apply.
"The annual jester contest has become one of the highlights of the Muncaster calendar, attracting visitors from all over the world.
"This year promises to be even bigger and brighter than ever and will form part of our fun-packed Jubilee Festival."
The Carlisle-based Olly Alcock Band will headline a fundraising concert on the castle's front lawns as part of the five-day celebrations to mark the Queens 60 years on the throne. The festival will culminate with the International Jesters Tournament on June 7.
Last year's winner, Witty Look from Japan, scooped the prize thanks to their comedy extreme unicycling. The duo will be flying in from the Far East to hand over the crown.
Entrants should apply in writing with details about their relevant skills and any previous experience.

Niko seems to be very reflective in his thinking, and the opportunity these young citizens experienced, being part of a national security think-tank forum, will be with them as they mature into productive members of society.
Incredible, both Niko, and the learning experience.
Congratulations, Niko.

Though it used be considered an off-the-beaten-path gem, the Center for Wooden Boats is now a major feature of Lake Union Park. The center gives free boat rides on the lake every Sunday; they sail on the hour from 1 to 3 pm, but the first-come, first-served slots tend to go fast, so you should queue up at the Center as soon as it opens. You may also rent a variety of small craft—pedal-boats, rowboats, and small sailboats—to explore the lake on your own (lessons are
available if you don't have much experience). Rates are $25–$50 per hour. Check out the events calendar for weekend workshops or to schedule one-on-one sailing lessons.

This hawk outfoxed me all summer at Mud Lake Conservation Area here in Ottawa, Ontario. I caught glimpses of him gliding through the trees in his hunting grounds in the deep forest of this conservation area on a number of visits, but I could never get a good photo of him. On the past weekend however, I found him after he had caught a red squirrel. Once birds start feeding heavily, I have found they tend to become oblivious to photographers. That, combined with the lack of leaves on the trees, now that fall has passed and winter is right around the corner, made it much easier to get some really close, detailed shots. I was very grateful to finally get so close while he was feeding. Not a common occurrence in my experience. I know its a tad graphic, but it is as nature is, and if you saw how your hamburgers get to your plate, you'd probably become a vegetarian. Here's hoping I can get some good owl shots next.
New birds for me
I got the Cooper's Hawk (immature) after it tried (and failed) to get a rabbit. Later in the morning, the Blue Headed Vireo, also known as the Solitary Vireo, chowing down on a bug in the brush.
The "Woodies" at Mud Lake Conservation Area are showing the new colors and styles for Fall 2014.......
White Egret on the Ottawa River
Finally, after a summer of trying to get closer than 300 meters, I finally got closer to a White Egret than I've been all year. Great way to finish off a few days of holiday.
A bit of a ornithological mix
Ok, so it's been a lot of birds recently. Yet consider, winter is coming and the birding really drops off until April next year. So, I'm getting in as many days as I can. Which is great for you if you have insomnia and you've found this blog! No more harmful chemicals to get you to sleep, just read my blog and wink out of consciousness......
Great time to head to Mud Lake Conservation Area. The water side (the pond and lake on the south side of the Cassels' Road) tends to have the waterbirds, the herons (both mature and immature, ducks, turtles, etc.) and the north side (the ridge between Cassels' Road and the Ottawa River) seems to have all the warblers. Patience and binoculars, as well as a sound camera set up are essential.
Remember, even with image stabilizing lenses, you really need to shoot at the fastest shutter speed possible while keeping the ISO setting as low as possible to reduce digital noise in your images (higher ISO = faster shutter speed in low light but higher ISO = grainy, affected images).
Using a tripod is really critical. If you want to know why, try holding a laser pointer at a wall from 10 feet. Watch how the laser dot bops around, despite your best efforts to hold it still. Now, if you're hand holding a camera that weighs several pounds, and your tiny bird subject is in movement, your hand movement (remember the laser pointer analogy?) and the bird's movement will result in less-than tack-sharp photos; you'll get blurred images. I carry my camera, set to the lowest ISO for the ambient light, ready to shoot over my shoulder while mounted to the tripod. If I see a bird, I carefully bring the tripod down to the ground and set up and shoot, generally in seconds. Take caution, however, if you decide to carry your tripod over your shoulder with the camera attached. I use a very high quality tripod (Really Right Stuff) to ensure that I can do so without losing my camera. If you carry your camera mounted, all ready to shoot, make sure you have a safety strap around your neck or some other point of safety. Failure to do so may result in your camera suddenly detaching and crashing to the ground! Frequently check camera-tripod connections.
Fall bird photography. Tricky, because there's still lots of foliage on the trees to obscure views of birds. And, the plumage has changed from the bright colors of spring to often more drab colors in Fall. However, in Eastern Ontario, if you get out there, you will see all manner of migrating warblers, as well as other migrants coming through on their way south.
Warblers are the big draw in Fall, but the challenges with photographing warblers are that they are small, very fast and flitting, and tend to stay hidden in the brush, making clear photos very hard to obtain. They're also in drab autumn plumage, and are very tricky to differentiate. Getting good photos of warblers is like trying to catch a housefly with chopsticks.
That all said, I'm lucky enough that I have this kind of spare time to devote to bird photography. Of course, it means boring the nuts off people with endless photos of birds eating bugs and fish. The real money's in photos of naked people and misery. I can't get much of the former and feel that photographing the latter for money is exploitative, so birds it is.
Let there be dragons.
Tonbo wa, kaju-en no kaori ni tsubasa o fukō sa
To order these images as framed prints, on metal (most popular!) or in acrylic (very exciting colors), e-mail me (in English please): firstname.lastname@example.com for prices and shipping.
At Andy Haydon Park and Mud Lake today, where I got some pix of the larger predators eating fish, bugs, golliwogs (anything that sort of defies description, like bullfrog tadpoles or cicadas that look like green aliens from outer space. Met a very pleasant family at Mud Lake, who enjoyed looking at my pix via the viewing screen of the camera. All in all, a nice day, rather hot, but lots of large bird activity.
Read this and e-mail me as proof. You be the only one who reads it. I'll be so amazed that I'll send you a $5.00 certificate to Tim's or Starbux......
Summer birding. Hot, hazy and buggy. I couldn't find anything unusual as in shorebirds, etc. So I tried taking original pictures of the plentiful ducks. Setting my shutter speed as high as the light would allow, I tried to capture bobbing ducks as they popped up from feeding on the pond bottom, getting a nice shot of the blur of water sheathing off their faces. And a few shots of non-ducks. Happy Sunday!

Some delicious doodles by Emma from @mabelandbird #folksywip. She says the best bit of the creative process is "taking a little doodle and turning it into print." What's your best bit?
bymeeni : Gosh so many bits!! But I do love fiddling and tweaking to get a 3D design/pattern right (and working out just the right combination of fabrics and trims, and.......)

Here's a #folksywip by @mrsbeckypearce showing one of her silver initial charm bracelets being made. Becky says circles can be tricky to cut by hand, so after a few sawn fingers she now uses a disc cutter to make the shapes of her initials as perfect as possible. We love seeing your work in progress. What are you making today? Care to share?
mrsbeckypearce : I think it's definitely a lot easier cutting out letters compared to circles - I do wonder if it's just me though! Thanks for the sharing the piccie @folksyhq

US urges UNSC to end 'neglect,' act on Syria
United Nations Security Council 311 (R).
(photo credit:Mike Segar / Reuters)
The Security Council must move past its "inaction" and "neglect" to the Syria
crisis and endorse an Arab League plan for a political transition there, the US
envoy to the UN said on Monday.Ambassador Susan Rice was speaking a day
before Arab League Secretary-General Nabil Elaraby and Qatar's prime minister
are due to plead with the 15-nation Security Council to back the league's plan
for Syrian President Bashar Assad to transfer powers to his deputy to prepare
for free elections."We have seen the consequences of neglect and
inaction by this council over the course of the last 10 months, not because the
majority of the council isn't eager to act – it has been," Rice said. "But there
have been a couple of very powerful members who have not been willing to see
that action take place... That may yet still be the case."Rice was
referring to Russia and China, which vetoed a European-drafted Security Council
resolution in October that would have condemned Syria and threatened it with
possible sanctions.Russia, a UN Security Council member and one of
Syria's few allies, said Assad's government had agreed to talks in Moscow to end
the Syrian crisis, but a major opposition body rejected any dialogue with him,
demanding he step down."We rejected the Russian proposal because they
wanted us to talk with the regime while it continues the killings, the torture,
the imprisonment," Walid al-Bunni, foreign affairs chief for the Syrian National
Council, told Reuters.US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who will
attend Tuesday's council meeting with Elaraby – along with French Foreign
Minister Alain Juppe and British Foreign Secretary William Hague – also urged
the council to adopt a European- Arab draft resolution endorsing the Arab League
plan."The Security Council must act and make clear to the Syrian regime
that the world community views its actions as a threat to peace and security,"
Clinton said in a statement."The violence must end, so that a new period
of democratic transition can begin."The White House expressed similar
sentiments, saying it supported a political solution that would stop the
violence in Syria. Spokesman Jay Carney said Assad had lost control of his
country and predicted his regime would fall."We're discussing with the
Russians and other partners how best to use all the levers at the command of the
international community and the United Nations to press the Syrian government to
stop its appalling and ultimately ineffective and harmful repression," Carney
said. "It's important that the Security Council take action... We believe that
the Security Council should not permit the Assad regime to assault the Syrian
people while it rejects the Arab League's proposal for a political
solution."As governments make decisions about where they stand on this
issue and what further steps need to be taken with regards to the brutality of
the Assad regime, it's important to calculate into your considerations the fact
that he will go. The regime has lost control of the country and will
eventually fall," he said.Yehuda Balanga, a Syria scholar at Bar-Ilan
University in Ramat Gan, told a conference there Monday that in the absence of a
more unified opposition and immense diplomatic pressure, Assad could survive the
uprising still in power."The opposition – both in Syria and in exile –
hasn't been able to formulate an agenda and to attract the support of the
masses," Balanga said."Unless a change is made in that regard – or
alternatively, influence is exerted from outside, such as the UN Security
Council or Russia – the uprising will fade away and Assad will emerge with the
upper hand."On Monday, street battles raged at the gates of the Syrian
capital as Assad's troops sought to consolidate their grip on suburbs that rebel
fighters had taken only a few kilometers from the center of government
power.Activists and residents said Syrian troops now had control of
Hamouriyeh, one of several districts where they have used armored vehicles and
artillery to beat back rebels who came as close as 8 km. to Damascus.An
activist said the Free Syrian Army (FSA) – a force of military defectors with
links to Syria's divided opposition – mounted scattered attacks on government
troops who advanced through the district of Saqba, held by rebels just days
ago."Street fighting has been raging since dawn," he said, adding that
tanks were moving through a central avenue of the neighborhood. "The sound of
gunfire is everywhere."Rebels, emboldened in their struggle against
Assad's forces, are risking heavier clashes and fierce reprisals in an attempt
to create "liberated" territories across Syria. In the past three weeks they
have taken Zabadani – a town of 40,000 in mountainous near the border with
Lebanon – but have been beaten back from the outskirts of the
capital."God willing, we will liberate more territory, because the
international community has only offered delayed action and empty threats," said
a lieutenant- colonel who had defected to the FSA.The rebels said at
least 15 people had been killed as they pulled back in Saqba and Kfar Batna.
Activists claim a death toll of more than 100 people in three days of fighting
in the districts.The escalating bloodshed prompted the Arab League to
suspend the work of its monitors on Saturday. Arab foreign ministers are due to
discuss the crisis on February 5.Syria's state news agency said six
soldiers died in a single attack near Deraa in the south and "terrorists" had
blown up a gas pipeline. Pipelines have been targeted frequently during the
uprising.The SANA news agency has reported funerals of more than 70
members of the security forces members since Friday.Residents of Deraa –
where anti-Assad unrest first flared – said firefights between army defectors
and government troops killed at least 20 people, most of them government
forces.In Homs, the central Syrian city that has seen heavy attacks by
Assad's forces and sectarian reprisal killings, residents said government troops
backed with armor fought rebels near its marketplace.

Until today, North Korea appeared on Google Maps as a near-total white space - no roads, no train lines, no parks and no restaurants. The only thing labelled was the capital city, Pyongyang.
This all changed when Google rolled out a detailed map of one of the world's most secretive states.
The new map labels everything from Pyongyang's subway stops to the country's several city-sized gulags, as well as its monuments, hotels, hospitals and department stores.
According to a Google blog post, the maps were created by a group of volunteer "citizen cartographers," through an interface known as Google Map Maker.
That programme - much like Wikipedia - allows users to submit their own data, which is then fact-checked by other users, and sometimes altered many times over. Similar processes were used in other once-unmapped countries like Afghanistan and Myanmar.
In the case of North Korea, those volunteers worked from outside of the country, beginning from 2009.
They used information that was already public, compiling details from existing analogue maps, satellite images, or other web-based materials.
Much of the information was already available on the internet, said Hwang Min-woo, 28, a volunteer mapmaker from Seoul who worked for two years on the project.
North Korea was the last country virtually unmapped by Google, but other - even more detailed - maps of the North existed before this.
Most notable is a map created by Curtis Melvin, who runs the North Korea Economy Watch blog and spent years identifying thousands of landmarks in the North: tombs, textile factories, film studios, even rumoured spy training locations. Melvin's map is available as a downloadable Google Earth file.
Google's map is important, though, because it is so readily accessible.
The map is unlikely to have an immediate influence in the North, where internet use is restricted to all but a handful of elites.
But it could prove beneficial for outsider analysts and scholars, providing an easy-to-access record about North Korea's provinces, roads, landmarks, as well as hints about its many unseen horrors.
In the country's northeast, for instance, Google has labelled what it calls the Hwasong Gulag. One street, called Gulag 16 Road, cuts through it. And at the end of Gulag 16 Road is a train station. Beyond that, little else around the gulag is marked.
The map's publication comes just weeks after the visit to North Korea of Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt, who toured the country in a series of highly staged encounters that included a stop at a computer library, which Schmidt's daughter later described in a blog post as the "e-Potemkin Village."
Schmidt's visit was unrelated to the map roll-out, a Google spokesman said.
Google, in its blog post about the new North Korea map, acknowledged that the information is "not perfect".
"We encourage people from around the world to continue helping us improve the quality of these maps for everyone," Google said.
Melvin quickly spotted a mistake in Google's version.
Google's map shows a golf course on Yanggak Island, on a river that curves through Pyongyang.
But Melvin, citing recent photographs from tourists, said the golf course no longer exists.

At least six people were killed and 17 injured after gunmen opened fire on worshippers during a Pentecostal church service near the tourist town of Mombasa in Kenya.
Three men forced their way into the Joy Jesus Church in Likoni in south-west Kenya and started shooting at the congregation during a service yesterday morning. The attackers escaped on foot before police arrived.
Three children are reported to be in a critical condition following the attack, including a five-year-old boy with a bullet lodged in his head, local media reported.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack but it comes amid increased threats of violence from extremist groups such as the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabaab insurgents, who are based in Somalia but reportedly recruit members in Likoni.
Police in Mombasa have arrested more than 100 people following the attack, Kenya's Capital News reported.
Kenyan troops have recently joined the African Union force in its attacks on al-Shabaab bases in neighbouring Somalia, where a Christian woman was publicly beheaded earlier this month.
Revd Samuel Kimohu, senior pastor at the church, urged the Kenyan Government to act quickly to prevent further terrorist attacks. "It is … worrying that [church services] ha[ve] now become a soft target for terrorists. This must be stopped," he said.
Meanwhile Al-Shabaab extremists in Somalia reportedly beheaded two women after their faith was discovered. The US-based charity International Christian Concern said that Osman Mohamoud Moge and Sadia Ali Omar were killed in front of Mrs Omar's two young daughters in the port town of Barawa in the Lower Shebelle region on 4 March.

Receptionist Jobs - Page 8
Administrative Receptionist Overview
Receptionists handle a variety of tasks in many different business settings. Positions may range from Medical Receptionists who greet patients and make appointments to Executive Receptionists who work for a corporate officer to complete various administrative tasks. Bilingual Receptionist positions may be important in areas with significant populations of non-English speakers. A prospective Receptionist should have outstanding communication skills as this individual is responsible for providing and recording information in-person and via telephone. Additionally, a candidate for an office position should have excellent computer skills for data entry and research that may be required. A Receptionist should be able to transition quickly between different tasks and needs to be able to handle a fast-paced work environment.
Administrative Receptionist Education Requirements
The minimum education needed for a Receptionist position is typically a high school diploma or equivalent. However, computer training may be important based on the specific requirements for a position. General keyboarding skills are important, and familiarity with word processing and spreadsheet programs may be necessary as well. On-the-job training is often provided to acquaint a newly hired worker with the specific routines and concerns in an office.
Administrative Receptionist Job Market
Statistics indicate that a growth of 14 percent is expected from 2012 to 2022 in employment opportunities for Receptionists. A significant portion of this growth is expected to be generated by the healthcare industry as increasing demands for medical services are experienced. In other industries, the growth of Receptionist opportunities may be significantly slower. This might be partly due to the increasing use of technology to manage communications and scheduling.
Administrative Receptionist Salary
In recent years, the median annual income for receptionists was $25,990 with an average hourly rate of $12.50. Receptionists employed in the healthcare field earned significantly more per hour than those working in personal care services. Dental Receptionists earned an average of $14.67 per hour during this time period. The upper 10 percent of earners in the field averaged more than $18.16 per hour. Approximately one-third of workers in this field are part-time employees.

AT&T exec: 'A lot of work to do'
Send this to a friend
- John Cook
It is pretty well known that AT&T faces a serious congestion problem. Just too many customers making calls, downloading apps and browsing the Web from their connected devices. Fred Devereux, president of the west region for AT&T, admits that the wireless carrier is "not the most revered" right now. But, in remarks today at the Mobile Future Forward conference in Seattle, Devereux pledged that things will get better.
"We have a lot of work to do. I call it a success-based problem," said Devereux. "When you have 5,000 percent increases in anything -- whether that is traffic, customers, data usage -- you have a problem that the best engineers in the world will have trouble trying to figure out."
Nonetheless, he said that AT&T is tossing "unbelievable amounts of resources" against the problem. Nationwide, the company is spending $18-$19 billion on wireless and wireline improvements this year, a 5-10 percent increase over last year.
"Of the four major carriers in the U.S., we carry half of the mobile data traffic," he said. "So, we put a lot of cars on our freeway and we are trying to build bigger, faster freeways really fast."
Things certainly have changed from when Devereux entered the business in 1990. In his remarks today, he recounted with a bit of awe how the industry once charged customers $45 per month for voice service and then -- on top of that -- 45 cents per minute. At the time, wireless penetration in the U.S. stood at just five percent. Today, he said "we put a T-1 in your pocket, we put a PC in your pocket and now we put a TV in your pocket."
The race for delivering those data services has to what Devereux dubbed "hyper competition."

On this Veterans Day 2012, a World War II veteran from Oklahoma talks about serving on a B-17 bomber
And then there's that moment 10 days later.
"We raided the air depot at LeBourget today," he wrote. "There were 300 fighters up after us. We claimed five. The target was obliterated. We got two bullet holes in the nose."
When talking of that, he said, "I would have given anything to be back sharecropping."
Before and after
Even though he was no longer in southwest Oklahoma, Mitchell said his raising helped tremendously in World War II.
"When you grow up in poverty like we did, you learned to love work, and I really did," he said. "I didn't mind working hard at all."
After the war, he quickly went to college so he could get a good job and get to work as soon as possible.
From 1948 to 1973, he served as a real estate review appraiser for the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
Then he worked many more years in his own business as a real estate appraiser.
But his story isn't all about being Capt. Lloyd Mitchell, or about his business career.
In May 1942, he wed Mable Apple. Mounted on a wall close to his Distinguished Flying Cross is a picture of Lloyd and Mable with a 2-month-old Brooks in October 1943. They raised five successful children, Brooks, Martha, Sarah, David and Mark. The couple were married 50 years before Mable lost a battle to pancreatic cancer in 1992. He later married Nancy and finally retired when he was in his mid-80s.
Besides being dedicated to his family, Mitchell is strong in his faith.
He's served as an elder in four Church of Christ congregations over 33 years.
"I was talking with my daughter, Sarah, one day, and she asked me how I feel I got through this and so many people didn't," he said. "I said, 'Honey, I felt like God had other things for me to do, and after the war it was time to get at them.'"
Back to the painting
When Mitchell once again fixes his eyes on that painting, he begins to talk about July 28, 1943, just off the coast of Denmark en route to Oschersleben, Germany.
He could see two cloud layers coming together and was wondering if the lead plane was going to keep going into them. It did. And as soon as they were in, the two clouds became one, he said. Inside the massive cloud was 148 B-17s, and no one could see anyone.
He thanks God and the plane's pilot, Ruben Neie, for getting them out.
"Rube immediately jammed all those throttles forward, full-power," Mitchell said. "He sent it to the left as steep as he could and luckily got us out.
"You know, praying takes priority at that point."

Didn't think you'd hear new Taylor Swift this soon?. The country-pop singer contributes to the soundtrack of the film "One Chance" - based on the brilliant rise to fame story of Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts - wih the original song "Sweeter than Fiction", which she co-wrote with the help of Jack Antonoff, guitarist for the band Fun. This is Taylor's first piece of new music she puts out after releasing the album "Red" late last year.
"Sweeter than Fiction" is really poppy and good and catchy, and even if she hadn't really thought about it that much, this may become a monster hit for Taylor. She was so humbled and up-lifted by Paul Potts' story, she was more than happy to be part of the soundtrack for "One Chance", but could it be that Taylor's song take all the shine away from the movie?. Ouch, if that happens. "Sweeter than Fiction" is played during the ending credits of the film, and it hit iTunes - alongside the soundtrack album - on October 21st. "Sweeter than Fiction" is a positive pop song whose lyric plot is about fighting for your dreams. For when you least expect it they may come true. And you may become a superstar like Paul Potts one day, touching many hearts with your story.

Iran's Ahmadinejad sacks only female government minister
DUBAI (Reuters) - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday dismissed his only female cabinet minister, Health Minister Marzieh Vahid Dastjerdi, after she criticised her colleagues for failing to provide funds to import vital medicines.
Appointed in 2009, Dastjerdi was the first woman government minister since the Islamic Republic was established in 1979. While seen as politically conservative, the gynaecologist has advocated a greater role for women in society.
Reports have emerged in recent weeks of shortages of some critical medicines for treatment of cancer, multiple sclerosis, blood disorders and other serious conditions.
Last month, Dastjerdi said only a quarter of the $2.4 billion earmarked for medicine imports had been provided in the current year and there was a shortage of foreign currency for the shipments.
"Medicine is more essential than bread. I have heard that luxury cars have been imported with subsidized dollars but I don't know what happened to the dollars that were supposed to be allocated for importing medicine," she said on state television.
Iranian officials blame the shortages on sanctions imposed by the United States and the European Union. The government has come under heavy criticism itself for failing to manage the needs of Iranians properly.
Ahmadinejad's political rivals accuse him of exacerbating the effects of sanctions through poor management and cronyism.
In a short statement, he announced the interim appointment of Mohammad Hassan Tariqat Monfared as head of the ministry, replacing Dastjerdi.
"Noting your commitment and valuable experience and based on the ... constitution, I appoint you as the caretaker health minister," read the statement published widely across Iranian media.
Dastjerdi's dismissal was criticised in parliament, where Ahmadinejad has been accused of concentrating power in his own hands.
"Although the president has the authority to sack the health minister, the move was not wise and doesn't have acceptable logic," the head of parliament's health committee, Hosseinali Shahriari, was quoted as saying by the semi-official Fars news agency.
"The dismissal of the health minister was caused by nothing but ... personal issues. I hope the president has the courage to explain why he made this change," Fars quoted Shahriari as saying.
