Religion and Politics in South Asia
Edited by Ali Riaz
Routledge – 2010 – 214 pages
Religion and religio-political forces have become potent influences in the domestic politics of many countries irrespective of geographical location, stages of economic growth, and systems of governance. The growing importance of religion as a marker of identity and a tool of political mobilization is reshaping the political landscape in an unprecedented manner, and South Asia, which contains the world's largest populations of Muslims and Hindus with significant number of Buddhists, is no exception to this fact.
This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the interaction of religion and politics in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Although the specific circumstances of each country are different, in recent decades, religion, religio-political parties, and religious rhetoric have become dominant features of the political scenes in all six countries. The contributors offer a thorough examination of these developments by presenting each country's political system and the socio-economic environment within which the interactions are taking place. The analysis of the various factors influencing the process of the interactions between religion and politics, and their impact on the lives of the people of the region and global politics constitute the core of the chapters.

July 16, 2012
Less than 2 percent of the U.S. labor force is directly employed in production agriculture. In Mexico, the number is 13.7 percent. While a significantly higher percentage of people work in agriculture in Mexico compared to the U.S., there has been a sharp drop in the number of farmers in Mexico.
From the viewpoint of a college senior studying international agriculture and rural development, a situation like Mexico's is both intriguing and disappointing. Clearly, the potential for agricultural progress exists. However, factors such as international competition, urbanization and the allure of higher paying jobs in the U.S. have led to a steady stream of small farmers packing up and leaving their quiet fields in favor of city lights.
On a recent field study trip to Chiapas, southern Mexico, I met with farmers and learned about the development projects they are working on with local universities or, in some cases, the Kellogg Foundation's international programs. Many of the farmers were well below the poverty line, most farming by manual labor on a hectare of land or less. Much of the state of Chiapas is also made up of indigenous populations who descend from the Maya and other native heritage. They come from thousands of years of farming ancestry, and most don't even speak Spanish.
What the farmers might lack in literacy, they make up for tenfold in enthusiasm and a desire to improve their farms. One dairy farmer had recently finished constructing a shelter where he milks his 30 cows; Extension officers had suggested he built it just one week earlier. A maize farmer's wife in the mountains outside of San Cristobal grew her flock of chickens from five to more than 20, thanks to a government program that helped her and her husband build a fenced-in coop complete with a nesting area and feed dispensers. She now sells eggs to customers in villages several miles away.
Given the scale of production in these rural areas, a clean milking area or a dozen more chickens to lay eggs can mean the difference between staying in production or going out of business.
The farmers grow whatever crops, livestock or products flourish in the environment and yield the most money, all the while keeping in mind how the items they produce complement each other. For some, this means beans and squash intercropped with corn. For others, it means chickens kept for eggs or meat and their manure used to fertilize crops. And for some, it means goats tethered behind houses with their milk sold to neighbors or traded for cow cheese made by another farmer.
Clearly, a very lively cycle of life is at work, and as their counterparts in the U.S. understand, Mexican farmers are as dependent on each other as they are on the weather.
Rural development in Mexico is at war with itself. Although local university programs and non-governmental organizations have dedicated years to improving communities, it is inevitable that sometimes farmers leave or grow older and no one steps up to take their place. Many communities have lost young people to jobs in Mexico City or the U.S. Most young people who leave never return, but a few do come back, saying their experiences outside the villages they grew up in showed them the importance of where they came from.

President's Message
Tim Nader
Governing Board President
June 2011
Friends of Southwestern College,
By now you have undoubtedly heard the news: the probationary status hanging over our accreditation has been lifted!
Many long hours of work this year by faculty, students, staff and administration, working together with a new sense of teamwork and incredible dedication, achieved what some doubted was possible. On behalf of the Board and the entire community, thank you to each person who worked extra hours and gave of their talent and time to make this happen.
Even when we were put on probation, the accreditation commission noted the excellent quality of faculty and staff at Southwestern College. The new spirit of positive teamwork clearly made an impression on the commission this year. Everybody who contributed to this result deserves the lasting gratitude of every student and every citizen in the South Bay.
Our first summer session began on Monday, June 6 with packed classrooms and long waiting lists – a testament to the quality of our faculty, classes and programs and the unfortunate budget situation affecting our State. Southwestern College is the only local college offering a comprehensive summer session. We are honoring our plan to provide summer courses for students who need them to graduate and meet our full-time student enrollment targets and capture state funding. In these lean budget times, we must capture as much State funding as we can.
For the first time in many years, undoubtedly spurred by the unwillingness of Governor Jerry Brown and Controller John Chiang to accept "business as usual," the Legislature passed a budget before the start of the new fiscal year. Unfortunately, because the budget is contingent on new revenues from an uncertain economic recovery, there are some unpleasant contingencies built in, such as a possible increase in community college fees to $46 per unit next Spring (an increase to $36 per unit for Fall 2011 had already been mandated). At least we now have a clearer idea what to expect from the State in the coming year.
In the meantime, we adopted the College District's tentative budget for fiscal year 2011–12. Led by our constituent-based Budget Committee, this budget includes many smart and student-focused provisions: a 5.8 percent savings in non-personnel items and $170,000 increase in categorical spending (such as Disability Support Services). We are proud of the collegial and consultative hard work that created this budget and look forward to it continuing. Tough choices will need to be made among a variety of unattractive options, but we have learned we make better choices with the collaboration of faculty, students, staff and administration.
Speaking of tough choices, we are deeply sad that many of Southwestern College's brightest and longest-serving employees have retired. The College offered a Supplemental Early Retirement Program to reduce expenditures and honor employees for their contributions – 39 employees took advantage of it. You can learn more about them in this month's GB News.
The reason Southwestern College has been successfully educating our community since 1961 is employees such as these, focused on our mission, helping students achieve their dreams. They will be missed but their contributions never forgotten. We wish them the very best in their future and thank them for their invaluable service.
Tim Nader
Governing Board President

NEW ORLEANS -- The NFL is again urging a federal judge to avoid interfering in Commissioner Roger Goodell's efforts to discipline four players for the New Orleans Saints' cash-for-hits bounty pool.
In a response Wednesday to papers the players filed earlier this week, the NFL says its collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Players Association gives Goodell the power to handle discipline involving conduct detrimental to football "at his discretion."
U.S. District Judge Ginger Berrigan is considering the players' request to overturn varying suspensions to Saints linebacker Jon Vilma (full season), Saints defensive end Will Smith (four games), free-agent defensive lineman Anthony Hargrove (seven games) and Cleveland Browns linebacker Scott Fujita (one game).
The players also want Berrigan to appoint a "neutral arbitrator" to handle any discipline in the matter.
The NFL argues that the players' request "turns the CBA (and the law) on its head."
"The parties agreed to "trust in (the Commissioner's) personal judgment," the papers filed by the NFL said.
The players have argued Goodell's public comments about the matter, dating to before he had even disciplined to the players, prove he cannot be impartial, and therefore has violated the players' industrial due process rights, which are also an inherent part the league's labor deal.
The NFL responded that the standard to prove partiality for an arbitrator within the framework of a labor agreement is much higher than for a judge in a court case. The league cited case law stating, "Nothing in the parties' contract requires arbitrators to arrive with empty heads."
The NFL also argued its evidence in the bounty matter is strong enough to justify the commissioner's actions, whether he was partial to one side or not.
"When all of the circumstances are considered, it is clear that the reasonable observer would not have to conclude that ... the outcome is due to 'bias,'" the NFL said. "The circumstances here include the fact that Plaintiffs do not dispute that the Saints program offered incentives for cart-offs and knockouts, and that cart-offs and knockouts were plays in which an opposing player was disabled or injured, at least temporarily.
"Not disputing that this program existed, Plaintiffs should not be heard to complain that an adverse appeal decision would have to be due to bias."

—H. Douglas, Overland Park, Kansas
A. The leafy vegetable known in the United States as Swiss chard is a productive, easy-to-grow crop worthy of a spot in the garden. Also called leaf beet or sea kale beet, Swiss chard originated in the Mediterranean region, not Switzerland, and its closest relations are beets and spinach rather than the artichoke-like cardoon from which the word chard derives.
Like most leafy garden crops, chard prefers cool temperatures, but it tolerates heat better than many greens. Chard will grow in full sun to partial shade and in any soil suitable for vegetable growing. You can start planting chard seed in the garden 1 to 2 weeks before the last frost date in your area, but hold off until after that date if you're growing a red-stemmed variety, such as 'Rhubarb' chard, or a mix with red-stemmed chard in it. According to Cornell University's online Vegetable Growing Guide, red-leaved chards may bolt if the seeds are exposed to freezing temperatures.
Because chard's seeds are actually small fruits that contain multiple seeds, seedlings often germinate in clusters. Gradually thin young plants to a final spacing of 8 to 10 inches apart; use the thinnings in salads. Fertilize chard when the plants reach about 6 inches tall, side-dressing with alfalfa meal or watering with fish emulsion. Mulch to maintain even soil moisture during the growing season, and place a row cover over the crop at the first sign of leaf miners tunneling in the broad leaves.
If your chard bolts in the heat of summer, pull out those plants and sow seeds for a fall crop of these leafy greens. Choose a spot in partial shade for starting chard in the summer or provide light shade to help keep young seedlings cool.

WEBSITE OF THE DAY - Fora TV
Just imagine: if we all spent even half as much time watching intellectual debate on the Internet as we do watching people fall off bikes and generally make tits of themselves, we'd probably be a little bit smarter.
Yes, online video is there to entertain the masses, but it can also educate, and Fora TV is a great place to start.
It travels the world visiting conferences and events where the greatest scientists, philosophers and intellectuals of our time speak and offer their take on world affairs.
These clips cover all sorts of topics, and they're not going to be to everybody's taste. But, when you've seen just about as many viral "fails" as you can handle, it's nice to know there's somewhere you can come for some sensible opinions on things.
If it's your thing, there's a premium version, which gives access to an even wider library of clips and regular online seminars – at a cost though.
If you have a website that you want to tell us about email us via the feedback form.

Monitoring microvascular blood flow during hemorrhage and resuscitation

MetadataShow full item record
Blood flow through the microvascular (arterioles, capillaries, venules) is critical to survival. Until recently, microvascular responses to cardiovascular events, such as hemorrhage and resuscitation, have been difficult to assess. Macrovascular responses (blood pressure, heart rate, large artery flow) have generally been easier to monitor, but aren't always indicative of microvascular responses. While monitoring macrovascular reactions, we used orthogonal polarization spectral imaging (OPSI) to monitor microvascular responses to hemorrhage, low-pressure stabilization, and resuscitation. Methods: 8 anesthetized, ventilated dogs were hemorrhaged (H, 90min mean arterial pressure [MAP]=35-40mmHg or MAP<30mmHg>10min or MAP<25mmHg>1min), hypotensively stabilized (S, 120min enalaprilat 0.01mg/kg/hr + hemoglobin based oxygen carrier [HBOC] or 7.8% hypertonic saline dextran 70 [HSD] for MAP=40-45mmHg), resuscitated (60min lactated Ringer's for MAP=75-80mmHg), then only monitored (60min no fluids), and euthanized. Sublingual and jejunal mucosal microvascular blood flow, visualized by OPSI, was recorded every 10 minutes. Results: 2 early non-survivors: NS1 (1 of 5 HBOC, died 117min into S) and NS2 (1 of 3 HSD, died 9min into S). Cardiac output, carotid blood flow, and systemic arterial blood pressure decreased during bleeding, were variably affected by low-pressure stabilization, and increased during resuscitation. Sublingual and jejunal mucosal microvascular blood flow video was collected, but motion and focus issues were extremely prevalent. Microvascular blood flow was decreased by hemorrhage and increased during resuscitation, but the microvascular effects of the low-pressure stabilization were difficult to analyze. Conclusion: Microvascular blood flow responses can be monitored, but motion and focus issues can make analysis quite difficult.

So much "I" and "we." Story-drive, average-gameplay games most definitely appeal to a sizable portion of gamers. That not something I'd expect Blizzard to understand since I consider the story of all their pre-WC3 games to be sub-par. It's the reason why I never got into Blizzard.
"alot of responsibility"..... And they create Real money Auction house.... What a joke.
@ dude to the right: whats your phone number? *wink*
@Unfallen_Satan "It's the reason why I never got into Blizzard." and "I consider the story of all their pre-WC3 games to be sub-par" contradict each other.
Not at all. I have been unfortunate enough to have mainly friends who are into Blizzard games instead of Westwood games like I do. Most of them were gifts; I was pressured into buying a couple myself. I was rather resentful about that until we stopped playing together.

There is no *****tter presentation than one that ***** the varying opinions in philosophy between unions ***** employers.

In addition, this case holds legal intrigue which includes acts ***** inclusive destruction, fabrication, and suppression of evidence. As both sides are spending small f*****tunes on legal representation and lobbying efforts, the ***** ***** will affect legal precedence for years to come.

Unit History: Royal Regiment of Artillery
On the 26th May 1716, two regular companies of field Artillery were raised in Woolwich, London (now the home of Royal Artillery Barracks). In 1722, these companies were grouped with independent Artillery companies at Gibraltar and Minorca to form the Royal Regiment of Artillery, commanded by Colonel Albert Bogard. By 1757, the regiment had expanded greatly and comprised 24 companies, in two battalions. By 1771, this had increased to 32 companies in four battalions.
In January,1793, two troops of Royal Horse Artillery were raised to provide fire support for the Cavalry. This increased to four troops in November. All personnel were mounted.
The Royal Regiment of Artillery and the Royal Engineers, were under the control of the Board of Ordnance until 1855, where it then came underneath the War Office, following the disastrous campaign of the Crimean War, like the rest of the British Army.
69 Batteries - 21 Horse and 48 Field - of Artillery, from the East India Company were absorbed into the Royal Regiment of Artillery in 1861, and there was now a total of 29 horse batteries, 73 field batteries and 88 heavy batteries.
There was further reorganisation in July 1899, and three distinct groups were formed. The Royal Garrison Artillery, were formed from Coastal Defence, Mountain, Siege and heavy batteries. There was also the Royal Horse Artillery and Royal Field Artillery. This lasted through World War I, until 1924 when all three separate groups were reformed as the Royal Artillery.
The Royal Horse Artillery, which traditionally had separate uniforms and insignia, to this day retains a separate identity within the Royal Regiment of Artillery. It's considered by its members to be an elite.

The Environmental Protection Agency issued its final "pollution diet" for cleaning up the Chesapeake Bay on Wednesday, averting a confrontation for now over the ambitious plan by getting the bay region's states to promise to work harder to restore the nation's largest estuary.
The diet — spelled out in more than 200 pages, with another 800 pages of appendices — calls for increased pollution-reduction efforts over the next 15 years by Maryland and the other five states in the 64,000-square-mile watershed, with federal intervention threatened if states fall behind in meeting cleanup goals and deadlines. The plan lays out steps that states must take to achieve 20-percent to 25-percent reductions in three key pollutants: nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment.
