A historic theater in downtown Franklin is trying to bring in more live shows and is seeking tax dollars to help pay for upgrades to the stage and dressing rooms.
The Artcraft Theatre hosted 35,000 people last year for movie nights and events, but the improvements would allow the theater to host more live shows during the week. A vaudeville show already has been booked for March, and others are scheduled starting in June, Franklin Heritage director Rob Shilts said.
The Franklin Redevelopment denied a request for $100,000 in tax-increment financing dollars toward those projects this week because the non-profit group already had another pending grant. Franklin Heritage hasn't collected any of the $100,000 in tax dollars promised by the Franklin Development Corp. last year. Franklin Heritage has to raise $200,000 to get the full $100,000 grant.
Now Franklin Heritage leaders will review how much they've collected from fundraising events to see if they can draw those grant funds and pay for the upgrades, Shilts said.
Franklin Heritage is likely already close to reaching the $200,000 match. An anonymous donor had promised $150,000 toward new projects, although that donation hasn't come in yet. The group has raised about $26,500 of an $80,000 goal to replace curtains and rigging on the stage. And the group has already spent about $10,000 since last year updating wiring it might be able to claim toward the total, Shilts said.
Franklin Heritage has focused on renovating the building and establishing the weekend movie series during the first 10 years since buying the theater. Hosting more live shows will be a focus for the next 10 years, Shilts said. In order to book more events, the theater needs to upgrade curtains and rigging on the stage, fix the leaky roof and renovate dressing rooms and green rooms attached to the theater.
The theater already has booked the vaudeville show in March and summer shows will include the Glen Miller Orchestra, Branson on the Road musical act and a silent movie showing of Phantom of the Opera with a live orchestra providing the music, Shilts said.
The redevelopment commission gave $150,000 to Franklin Heritage about four years ago. That money helped pay for building repairs because the marquee was tearing away from the building. The money also allowed Franklin Heritage to restore the historic facade. After those fixes were made to the building, the theater started consistently drawing more viewers each weekend and has grown into the attraction it is now, Shilts said.
Franklin Heritage also recently hosted its annual fundraiser and those proceeds go toward supporting the movie nights for the year. But once the money is counted, Shilts will see if there is any of that total that can also be put toward the $200,000 match.
Franklin Heritage it doesn't need to raise all the money at once and could get smaller payouts from the Franklin Development Corp. as funds are available. For example, if Franklin Heritage raised $50,000, the non-profit could collect $25,000 in grant funds, Shilts said. That could help the group get a start on some projects in anticipation of the shows booked for summer, he said.
"I would love to have a number of these things in place certainly by June when we have Glen Miller," Shilts said.

Someone had added a new title to his name.Most informed college football fans would readily agree Snyder is one of the sport's all-time great coaches, and yet you could go months without hearing his name. Then his Wildcats go and upset Oklahoma, and we all slap ourselves and go through another round of ... this.Stewart -- I am fascinated by the job Bill Snyder has done at Kansas State. Is he as good as he seems, and if so, why does he fly so far under the radar as far as top coaches go? With what appears to be a weak recruiting base, he built the program to a premier level, retired, watched it crumble, then rebuilt it again in short order back to a top 10 national ranking.-- Bob Karcher, AustinTo appreciate just how incredible Snyder's career has been, consider this: Snyder's winning percentage in 21 seasons at Kansas State is .659. The program's winning percentage in its other 92 seasons of football is .357. Even with its modern success, K-State's all-time winning percentage (.439) is lower than all but three BCS programs (Northwestern, Indiana and Wake Forest). Try to imagine current Indiana coach Kevin Wilson, who went 1-11 in his first season (much like Snyder went 1-10 in his debut campaign), eventually leading the Hoosiers to six 11-win seasons in seven years (as Snyder did from 1997-2003). That's how improbable Snyder's run would have seemed in 1989.There are a number of reasons Snyder flies under the radar. For one thing, he's nondescript. When you think of the most celebrated coaches both past (Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, Bo Schembechler) and present (Nick Saban, Urban Meyer, Chip Kelly), the majority of them have distinct personalities. They give memorable quotes. Even after 20-plus years on the sidelines, Snyder is mostly anonymous outside of Kansas (though we know he loves Pinocchio). Good luck getting him to say much more than "we've got to keep rowing the boat."Snyder also isn't considered the guru or pioneer of a certain type of offense or defense. Few realize he was one of the first to employ his quarterback as a shotgun zone-read runner back in the late '90s, directly influencing future spread-option coaches like Meyer.And then there's the one glaring omission from his résumé: a national title. I would contend that winning 10-plus games a year at Kansas State is more remarkable than winning a national title at an established powerhouse, but the general public wants trophies. Bobby Bowden turned Florida State from an also-ran into a preeminent program, but he wasn't truly lauded until winning his first title after 18 years at the school. Nebraska's Tom Osborne "couldn't win the big one" right up until he won three in a four-year span just before retiring. It's a lofty standard, especially given the subjective nature of college football's national championship, but it's reality.Few expect this year's K-State team to contend for the top prize. But it could very well win the Big 12, which would be quite a feat given the context. Remember, the Wildcats had started to slip in the two years before Snyder retired in 2005 (going 4-7 and 5-6, respectively). Like many, I was skeptical of K-State's decision to bring him back in 2009 at age 69. Obviously I was wrong. Snyder's methods are timeless. Hopefully one day they'll be appropriately appreciated.Barring a complete meltdown in college football, the Sooners are once again out of the national title picture. It's been 12 years since they won a national title and four years since they played for one. In the meantime, Saban has won three and Meyer has won two. Is it time to pull the plug on Bob Stoops and back a dump truck full of money to Jim Harbaugh's house yet? I know Stoops has averaged 10 wins a season and run a "clean program," etc. I frankly don't care. He's only won one national title and that isn't good enough for Oklahoma, nor should it be.-- Kevin Lessard, Wellington, New ZealandHang on. I need a second to process which part of this e-mail is more delusional: the notion that Oklahoma should fire Bob Stoops or Kevin's apparent belief that Harbaugh would voluntarily leave his gig as the coach of a Super Bowl contender to come to the Big 12. Amazingly, it's probably the second part, which is saying something, because the first part is pretty absurd, too. Stoops has won 80 percent of his games in 14 seasons, but you're right -- he's only played for four national titles. What a loser.I'm not saying everything's peachy in Norman these days. Having attended last week's game, there's definitely something "off" about that program right now. Yes, it lost a lot of key players from last season, but it's more that the Sooners' swagger is gone. Kansas State beat Oklahoma on its own field and no one there seemed particularly surprised. In fact, one program insider flatly told me before the game, "I don't think we're very good this year." Even Barry Switzer thinks these Sooners "just don't have the talent."But given Stoops' substantial track record, I wouldn't count out his team after one conference game. It's not like the Wildcats dominated the contest; it was all but decided by three brutal turnovers. Mike Stoops' defense did a nice job containing Collin Klein prior to two fourth-quarter touchdown drives. Landry Jones obviously has his limitations, but the offense has some nice young players, like freshman receiver Sterling Shepard, that will only get better as the season goes along.This may just be a transition year before the Sooners really take back off in 2013. And given all realistic options, I'd gladly take Stoops coaching that team.For those people that think our BCS family is the only dysfunctional family on the block, have you met our new neighbors, the NFL Replacement Refs? How would you compare the most egregious BCS errors to what's happening in the NFL right now?-- Trevor Kuhn, Portland, Ore.It's not even close. The NFL's officiating crisis has poisoned that league's credibility so badly it makes every controversy in BCS history seem like little bug bites by comparison. You may not like the inherent subjectivity of college football's national championship, and you may disagree with various results the pollsters or the computers have spit out over the years. But at the end of the day, no one is questioning the legitimacy of the actual on-field results. You may not agree with the established rules that govern the BCS, but those rules have at least been enforced correctly. The replacement refs are making procedural errors that directly affect the outcomes of games (and, in turn, teams' Super Bowl chances). Fans of the 2004 Auburn Tigers may disagree, but those gross injustices inflicted on NFL teams and their paying fans are far more inexcusable and avoidable than any BCS controversy.Now, college football has not been without its own heinous officiating mistakes over the years. The Colorado-Missouri Fifth Down game was arguably a more egregious debacle than Monday night's Seahawks Fail Mary because it involved no degree of judgment whatsoever. The officials in that 1990 game flat out botched a basic procedure, and it wound up directly impacting not only the final score, but also the national championship race. The 2006 Oregon-Oklahoma onside kick replay fiasco was also pretty bad, though it wasn't the last play of the game. But one thing's for certain: The replacement refs have given everyone new cause to appreciate not only the regular NFL refs, but the top college officials as well. There are roughly 40 more FBS games than there are NFL games per week, yet there haven't been remotely as many game-changing errors so far this season as there have been through the NFL's first three weeks.Stewart, I know that Heisman voters may never give a defensive player the award, but isn't Manti Te'o playing better defensively than anybody is offensively? When does he begin getting consideration? What do you think a defensive player has to do to win the award?-- Kevin, Chapel Hill, N.C.If you were to name a four-week MVP in college football, Te'o (38 tackles, three interceptions, two fumble recoveries) would certainly be deserving of the award. So would Georgia's Jarvis Jones (4.5 sacks, three forced fumbles and an interception). The difference, of course, is that Te'o plays for Notre Dame, and therefore gets more attention. He will be on national TV every week this season. He's also a four-year starter with a great story and built-in name recognition. If you were looking to build the prototype necessary for a true defensive player (no kick returns) to overcome 77 years of Heisman history, Te'o may well be it.More realistically, voters won't stay focused on a linebacker for 14 weeks. Linebackers don't put up eye-catching statistics like quarterbacks do. That's why West Virginia's Geno Smith (81.4 percent completions, 1,072 yards, 12 touchdowns, no interceptions) is on top of every Heisman board right now. The one glimmer of hope for defenders like Te'o or Jones is that several of the most sport's most lauded offensive stars -- Matt Barkley, Denard Robinson, Monteé Ball -- have already slipped. It may be that the exodus of Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III has left an offensive void this year.Keep in mind: Voters have already bucked history several times in recent seasons. They awarded the Heisman to a sophomore (Tim Tebow) in 2007, gave 161 first-place votes to a defensive tackle (Ndamukong Suh) in 2009 and presented last year's trophy to a player from a 9-3 Baylor team. Still, a linebacker winning the Heisman would be truly extraordinary.If Manti Te'o played for Alabama, he'd be just another guy, right?-- Jeff, Hyrum, UtahI can't tell if you're suggesting that Te'o is overrated or that Alabama linebackers don't get enough credit. Either way, seeing as Te'o is a former five-star recruit and a consensus first-round NFL prospect, he'd certainly fit in with the Crimson Tide.LSU's moribund passing offense continues. Is it time to start asking if LSU's quarterback woes are a product of its coach/system? Has Les Miles ever had a top-rated passer of his own making?-- Steve, San JoseWhat's this? A college football fan in San Jose? I'm writing these very words from a Panera Bread in San Jose and it's making me realize: I haven't come across anyone in school colors here since the season started. I'm in a bizarre vacuum.LSU's continued quarterback woes are admittedly puzzling. Miles has in fact coached a couple of pretty decent passers in his day: Oklahoma State's Josh Fields (15th nationally in pass efficiency in 2002, though he regressed to 42nd the next year) and LSU's JaMarcus Russell (third in '06). But something's definitely been amiss ever since Jimbo Fisher left as offensive coordinator after the 2006 season. Matt Flynn, who would go on to become an NFL player, ranked just 64th during the Tigers' 2007 BCS championship season. Obviously Jarrett Lee and Jordan Jefferson struggled for four years, and now Zach Mettenberger is off to a modest start (he's thrown for fewer than 200 yards in three of four games).Part if it is a byproduct of the type of the conservative, run-first offense Miles wants to run. But Alabama takes much the same approach, and the Tide's quarterback, AJ McCarron, is currently the nation's fourth-rated passer. And it's not like LSU doesn't have talented receivers. It's had them in the past and it has them again now.Mettenberger has the physical skills that prompted two different SEC schools (originally Georgia) to sign him. I'm inclined to cut him some slack for now, seeing as last Saturday's Auburn game was his first career SEC start. But if things don't improve over the course of the season, it would definitely become an indictment of the staff's ability to get the most out of that position.As a Wisconsin alum and longtime Badgers fan, I am embarrassed that the Badgers will likely win their division and play in the championship game because Ohio State and Penn State are ineligible. They look inept at best and it's a sham they are still ranked.-- John K, MilwaukeeNo argument here -- so why are you still penciling them in for Indianapolis? Don't go sleeping on Purdue.With Denard Robinson setting all-time Michigan records for career yardage (9,438) and interceptions (38) in the same game, what will be his legacy, or is it still yet to be written? I can't forget his truly awful performances against Michigan State last year and in bowl games, his lack of a Big Ten title and this last romp in South Bend. I also am grateful for a win against Ohio State and some memorable Notre Dame games the two years before.-- Nick, Upland, Calif.Robinson's career to date has certainly been all over the map, but there are still plenty of games left for him to tilt things one way or the other. At this point, it's obviously a lost cause to think Robinson will ever salvage his reputation as a passer. Last Saturday's performance was an extreme low, but it wasn't exactly out of character from his past games against elite defenses. However, he's still such a dynamic playmaker that you know he's going to register more 150-yard rushing games against overmatched defenses. Besides Michigan State, there's no defense on the Wolverines' conference schedule at the level of Alabama's and Notre Dame's. (Ohio State's should be, but it has underperformed to date.)We'll see how things play out, but barring a drastically terrible senior season, I've got to imagine most Michigan fans will remember him for the positive more than the negative. He came along at a time when Michigan football was at its lowest point in modern history and gave fans something to be excited about. He produced some of the most spectacular individual performances in school history, particularly the 2010 and '11 Notre Dame games. He helped break an eight-year losing streak against the Buckeyes and deliver a BCS berth. There's a lot to like, even if those moments came interspersed with some alternately agonizing lows.Thank you for the Dumb and Dumber quote. I'm a huge fan ... of you, Harry and Lloyd.-- Dave D., Worcester, Mass.What Dumb and Dumber quote?Ummm, Stewart, I hate to point this out, but in your Sept. 19 column you said that Utah fans might invite you in for "tea and strumpets." Given that a strumpet is another word for prostitute, I'm thinking maybe you meant "crumpets."-- John Ballard, Natchez, Miss.Ah yes. That one.Hey Stewart, Why are you so sold on Georgia in the SEC East over South Carolina? The Gamecocks beat UGA the past two seasons and one of the only differences between this year's team and last year's is the lack of Stephen Garcia, which can only really be seen as a plus. On top of that, the game between the two is at South Carolina this year. Why are you so sure UGA is going to win?-- John Lyles, Williamsburg, Va.Easy, there. I'm not "so sure" about anything when it comes to that Oct. 6 game, other than I can't wait to watch it. There's a lot to like about both teams. South Carolina could not have looked much better against Missouri. Connor Shaw is now healthy and completing 76 percent of his passes. Marcus Lattimore is getting healthier and back to his workhorse days (he had 28 touches for 145 total yards against the Tigers). And Jadeveon Clowney and that defense -- wow. You don't want to play quarterback against them. But of course, I could say nearly all the same things about Georgia. Aaron Murray is on fire (averaging 10.5 yards per attempt), freshman tailbacks Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall are averaging a combined 7.8 yards per carry and the aforementioned Jones and that defense are getting better by the game.I want to wait and watch the teams' respective games this weekend (Georgia hosts Tennessee while South Carolina visits Kentucky) before making a pick. But yes, I do have the Dawgs in my projected BCS lineup for one very simple reason: their schedule. Even if they don't win in Columbia, I like their chances of running the table from there, whereas the Gamecocks follow up their showdown with Georgia with consecutive road games against LSU and Florida. Therefore, I'm inclined to say Georgia wins the East.Booorrriiinnnggg. No Georgia bashing? You almost complimented UGA saying that they had a chance to win the SEC. I expect some anti-Dawg banter next week please.-- Kenny P, AtlantaYou know what? This "you hate my team" stuff is getting old. If you really feel that way, don't write a bitter e-mail. Do what this Georgia fan did: Produce a hilarious video.Remember when I revisited my Program Pecking Order this summer? It apparently stirred up a pair of Georgia bloggers, Senator Blutarsky and Travis Fain, the Dawgbone. They took such umbrage with my 2007 premise that 100 average college football fans in Montana would not recognize a Georgia football helmet as universally as they would a Michigan one that they sought out a volunteer to literally conduct the experiment. "Hoppy" Hopkins, a 35-year-old freshmen English teacher at Great Falls (Mont.) High and a diehard Georgia fan, heeded the call to undertake what became known as "The Montana Project."I'm in awe of the passion and energy it took for that online community to put that thing together. Never mind that the results pretty much proved my original point (Seventy-three recognized the Georgia helmet while 27 did not, and some of those 73 didn't sound incredibly sure about it). I was so blown away by the whole production that I placed a call to the man in the helmet.Stewart: So what's a Georgia fan like yourself doing in Montana?Hoppy: I've lived here for 27 years. My dad went to the University of Georgia. He was such a huge fan. When we were kids, if we would ask something, he'd say "What's the password?" thinking we would say "please," but then he'd say, "No, it's Bulldogs." I took my wife [to Athens] for my honeymoon.Stewart: Dare I ask how many hours you put into this?Hoppy: Asking the questions probably took about 12 hours over three days. My friend Kelly did the editing. He probably put in another five to seven hours. My friend Jeff Mainwaring, he's also a teacher, he came along for the whole thing. You hear his voice in there. And my wife, Bridgit, if you could throw her in there too, that'd be good. We visited three different bars [in Great Falls], starting on Labor Day. There weren't a lot of fans out that night so we gave it a shot the next weekend.... Originally I thought I'd knock this out in two hours. It was a lot longer process than I expected, but it was great fun. Even if I'd never read your article, if someone had said, "You should go ask 100 people if they recognize the Georgia helmet and film it," I'd say: "OK. That sounds like a fun thing."Stewart: Where did you get the helmet?Hoppy: They were looking at actually buying one for the project, but someone in Bozeman said he had one. He had lived in Georgia. He Fed Exed it to me. It was a game-worn helmet. On blind faith alone, he trusted some stranger not to lose it, which is amazing. That saved everybody a few bucks. It was a tiny helmet. It must have been a punter's.Stewart: And you screened the subjects by asking them to describe a Michigan helmet?Hoppy: The Senator was pretty specific, he asked that I use the [examples] in your article. I asked if they were college football fans. There were a lot of [Montana] Grizzly fans. I didn't ask everyone the same questions. I probably asked 25 percent of the 100 to describe the Michigan helmet. I'd ask, do you know what the USC cheerleaders are called? [Note: Nobody he asked said "The Song Girls."]Stewart: Yeah, I think you guys took that part a little too literally. I just meant, if you held up a picture, everyone would know those are USC's cheerleaders.Hoppy: You know how college fanatics are -- you put two words in there, and it's, "No, it's gotta be the Song Girls. Make sure it's the Song Girls. Make sure you get as close as you possibly can to asking these control questions." This was very much my first rodeo. Once I realized this was going to take a lot longer than I thought, I decided, I'm only going to ask each person one question. And then of course they wanted to know what it was for. I had to explain your article probably 95 times.Stewart: I'm just sorry that after all those hours, your results ended up validating my point.Hoppy: Yeah, the things you said, it absolutely validates it, but in college football, each team has several recognizable things. I wonder, if we did it with Uga [the mascot] instead of the "G" and the Michigan "M" instead of the helmet, whether the results might have been different. I bet you'd get in the high 90s for USC if you did the sword as opposed to asking about the Song Girls, but also Uga instead of the G.Stewart: Well -- in the end, was it worth it?Hoppy: Oh, absolutely it was worth it. I had no idea people would take to it, no idea it would get so many hits on YouTube, but mainly, it made people smile. The best quote I saw on one of the blogs was, "This is reason 1,750,000 I love college football right there." That's why we do these things. Absolutely, unequivocally, it was worth it in so many ways I never expected. Amazing.And it's amazing to me that one seemingly innocuous Mailbag passage could inspire such initiative. Kudos to everybody involved. Comments

The Cedar County Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees held a special meeting on Tuesday, January 7, 2014, at 1:00 p.m., in the hospital classroom. The following were in attendance: Judy Renn, President; John Walker, Secretary/Treasurer; Cheri Allison, Board Member; Jana Witt, CEO; Dixie Flynn, Chief Nursing Officer; Carla Gilbert, Director of Finance; April Burchett, Administration Department Secretary; Diana Pyle, CEO Secretary/Human Resources; Lynn Fredricksen, Utilization Review/Safety/Quality Improvement Manager; Linda Mann, Cedar County Community Health Services Manager; Terri Heitz, Recording Secretary. Jan Neale, Vice-President, and David Studer, Board Member, were absent. Judy Renn presided.
This special meeting was held as a planning meeting for the 2014-2016 Cedar County Memorial Hospital (CCMH) Strategic Plan. Witt began the meeting by explaining what strategic planning is and why it is important. She also explained that this year's strategic planning process will differ from prior years because the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act passed in March 2010 requires that all not-for-profit hospitals complete a Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) at least once every three years for tax years beginning after March 2012 and adopt an implementation strategy to meet the community health needs identified through the CHNA. Witt referred to Internal Revenue Service Notice 2011-52. The implementation strategy will be a large part of the 2014-2016 CCMH Strategic Plan. Witt explained that the CHNA report was completed and reviewed with the Board, the Medical Staff and the Department Managers in December 2013. It is now available to the public.
Items important to the operational side of the strategic planning process were reviewed. These included the CCMH mission, vision and value statements; the document, Current Environment—January 2014; a list of CCMH services by department; comparative financial data for fiscal years 2012-1014; and comparative statistical data for fiscal years 2012-2014. Witt then explained the short and long-term goals process that was conducted with the department managers.
The health issues/concerns identified in the Community Health Needs Assessment (CHNA) were then discussed in detail. Jana mentioned a large portion of our Strategic Plan for Cedar County Memorial Hospital will be addressing the needs that were identified in the (CHNA). There were nine areas of concern that were rated as high priority by at least two of the three sources that were included in this assessment. Those sources included Secondary Data, Expert Questionnaire and the Community Survey. Dixie Flynn, Chief Nursing Officer, explained the matrix used to prioritize the health issues. Those nine areas included: access to primary care physicians, obesity, access to affordable dental services, heart disease/stroke, substance abuse—illegal drugs, the uninsured, alcohol abuse, cost of health care services, child abuse/family violence. Flynn summarized the information gathered in regard to these top nine priority issues, including the hospital's role in addressing these issues, the services currently available to respond to this need, the implementation plan programmatic initiatives, anticipated results from the CCMH implementation plan and the leading indicators used to measure progress. These reports were reviewed and discussed in detail with input from the group. Witt mentioned some of the other concerns that did not make the top nine in priority concerns during the (CHNA), will still be addressed.
Flynn will update these reports, incorporating the changes and additions recommended, and Jana will work on goals and strategies for the operational portion of the plan. These will be presented for Board approval 1-20-14.

Infanticide as Instructing Ethics in "Rostam and Sohrab"
Shahabi, Hassan, Kouchaki, Marzieh, Canadian Social Science
The present paper investigates the story of "Rostam and Sohrab" by Abolghasem Ferdowsi - the poet of the fourth century. This paper aims to demonstrate the relationship between infanticide by the major character of this work, Rostam, and ethical dilemmas in the light of Emmanuel Levinas's notion of responsibility and depicts how instructing ethics will appear in the act of infanticide by him. Therefore, this paper shows how infanticide despite of being indecent is considered as an ethical dead in specific circumstances.
Key words: Infanticide; Responsibility; Ethics
It is normally thought that infanticide is considered to be common in various societies. According to the first article of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN General Assembly sanctioned in 1989): "An infant is every human under eighteen who needs legal support." (Zeraat, 1386, no. 50) Infanticide has severe emotional and psychological effects. Therefore, many stories are created based upon that among which the story of "Rostam and Sohrab" by Abol alghasem Ferdowsi is investigated in the present paper. Strikingly different works are generated in relation to this story. Each tried to remove some of the ambiguities. Although infanticide is mentioned in some of the works, none has specifically decoded it.
In connection with the story of "Rostam and Sohrab", it can be said that this story is one of the most painful and doleful stories of Shahnameh. Abol alghasem Ferdowsi depicts the dead story of the young Sohrab who is killed by his father due to the war with Rostam. Numerous works has also been created about this happening. Each has been criticized this issue from different angles.
The present study attempts to investigate the act of infanticide by the main character of this work in the realm of ethics from Emmanuel Levinas's point of view, one of the most important moral philosophers of the twentieth century who is less known in Iran. According to Levinas, "Ethics is paying attention to Others' right and this is not of ontology, for this has a meaning beyond ontology" (Levinas, 2006, p. 46).
This shows for Levinas unlike Heidegger, existence is prior to ontology. Levinas points to the fact that "The ethical relation to the Other is 'something beyond ontology' not 'a part of ontology'" (The same, p. 46). Therefore, the relation between the same and the Other can be considered as the key concept in Levinas's philosophy. In fact, Levinas believes that "In the first relation to the Other, I is always called to the Other, to whom I is held hostage by an unlimited responsibility; for the Other always come first. Therefore, violence may exist in any dialectical relation - kinship relation - to the Other in which the Other is reduced to the same" (Levinas, 1969, p. 58). In other words, he sometimes considers violence as a necessary part of ethics. The present paper tries to investigate the relationship between infanticide by the major character of this work and ethical dilemmas from Levinas's view.
The present study is based upon focusing on Ferdowsi's epic story, "Rostam and Sohrab", in the glare of Emmanuel Levinas's concept of responsibility. Having brought some lines from Shahnameh as witness, this study tries to represent how the heroin murders his child consciously as well as how this infanticide can be considered as an ethical deed and the real and imagined virtues and values of heroines despite of its marks of social taboo.
The sense of responsibility appears in Ferdowsi's Shahnameh. In order to analyze this sense of responsibility, investigation of the mournful story of "Rostam and Sohrab", one of the magnificent as well as the deepest tragedies of Shahnameh, seems to be necessary. But what is the starting motivation of this war? Whether Sohrab's ambitiousness and foolishness causes him to campaign? Is it possible to consider Rostam as an unwise stubborn who is surrendered to destiny? …

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

The Real Gallerinas of New York
Gopnik, Blake, Newsweek
Byline: Blake Gopnik
Can seven aspiring dealers teach the world about art?
A Martian, coming out of an alien-invasion movie: "Geez, they got everything wrong. My skin's purple, not green, and I'd never have that many eyes. And what's with those puny ray guns, anyway?"
That's how I felt, screening the first episodes of Gallery Girls, the new "reality" show from Bravo that launches Aug. 13 (and the network's "latest masterpiece," according to a modest press release). I've spent years living on planet art-world, and I couldn't see any trace of it in a program that's supposed to be set there.
The show follows seven 20-somethings as they try to make their way on the New York scene. Chantal and Claudia have actually opened a commercial space. Most of the others-Kerri, Liz, Amy, and Maggie-are interns, while Angela does "art" photography, and models with flowers covering her most private parts.
Reality Check No. 1: Chantal and Claudia's "commercial space" is actually a clothing store with '80s-style paintings on the wall. That's so low on the art-world totem pole, it's hardly in the art world at all. There are plenty of smart young things in the city who do open ambitious art galleries-but maybe Bravo couldn't get any of them to play ball.
This brings us to Reality Check No. 2: I said "smart young things"-which is what none of our protagonists show any signs of being. Your average intern at a major gallery has written an honors thesis on "Alterity and Othering in the Performative Self: 1963-1967." Whereas our Kerri's engagement with timeless aesthetic concerns extends to such statements as "I want to work with boutique hotels, but I don't have the art background."
A lot of the action around Liz (unbearable daughter of a major collector) and Maggie (the show's official underdog) takes place in a gallery called Eli Klein Fine Art, on West Broadway in SoHo-precisely where the art world hasn't been based for well over a decade. …

'Musical Genome' Helps Find New Favorites
If You Like 'Proud Mary'...
Savage Beast has some suggestions:
Much research has been trained on mapping the genetic makeup of humans. But according to one company based in Oakland, Calif., music can have a genome too.
Savage Beast Technologies' Music Genome Project is an effort to break music down to its most elemental forms, using a computer program that evaluates each song by 400 distinct musical attributes. The goal is to create a sophisticated engine for recommending music.
So far, Savage Beast has put its technology to use only for corporate clients, designing kiosks and online promotion strategies for Best Buy, AOL and other retailers. Founder Tim Westergren talks with Scott Simon about how it works.

"Stayed at this hotel when my first choice was unexpectedly unavailable. Location is within walking distance of principal museums and shopping. Breakfast was great. Best of all, the hostess was very helpful in navigating this area of San Jose. Price was $40/night including aircon, private bath, decent room. Highly recommended. ".by Onestepmore, Houston Texas
"The Best part is the staff. They are very helpful and friendly. The location is perfect! Word of caution - Friday and Saturday night it is very loud since the hotel shares a street with 5 or 6 night clubs with loud music, and loud people on the streets. If that doesn't bother you, as it does not bother me, then don't worry about it. ".by Isakall, Ramsey Minnesota
"This Inn/b&b is located 5 min from downtown San Jose where the main shopping boulevard starts. You are also close to restaurants, attractions, nightlife and other things that Costa Rica has to offer. Employees at Ara Macao Inn are friendly and always willing to go the extra mile.

Are you scared yet? Because you should be scared. Something really bad is about to happen. It affects all of us.
Our livelihoods are at risk. The ability to support our families. It's just over the horizon. It could happen any minute. It's coming for all of us!
I've been around for long enough to know that authors can be a skittish bunch. Probably something to do with our over-active imaginations, with an assist from that old writers' favorite: the whiskey brunch.
More seriously, we are going through a period of unprecedented change so it's perfectly normal for people to be a little fearful. I think the disruption we are all experiencing is greater than that which has been faced by similar industries. In fact, I think the transition from print book to e-book is akin to going straight from vinyl to MP3, with all that entails.
So, change. Lots of it. And change can be scary – even if you seem to be benefitting from the changes that are happening. I get that. However, at this point, we should all know enough to treat media reports on Amazon (and publishing in general) with the requisite amount of skepticism. As in 100% skepticism.
Patient Zero in this latest outbreak of Amazon Hysteria appears to have been The Atlantic who ran a piece on June 20, headlined: "What If Authors Were Paid Every Time Someone Turned a Page?"
The rather important distinction that this new payment system only applied to some self-published titles – those enrolled in a wholly optional program called KDP Select – wasn't made until PARAGRAPH EIGHT. And even then the distinction wasn't super clear and floated the wholly baseless idea that this could also apply to traditionally published books:
While many larger publishers' offerings are included in these programs, the details of those deals have not been made public. Their authors may or may not be paid by the page. Amazon's announcement only says that the new formula applies to Kindle Select books that are self-published and distributed through Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing program.

I recently removed some old wallpaper in our house. The drywall underneath is in great shape, but in some spots a layer of the drywall came off with the wallpaper. It looks almost like cardboard. Can I use a regular drywall joint compound to cover this, or is there something else I should try?
Make sure the torn area is as smooth as possible with no ragged pieces that will lift or move around when you apply the joint compound.When the compound dries and you sand the area you'll never know the difference.Actually,I use a damp sponge instead of sandpaper...much neater!
I feel for you. I had the same problem because I dug too deeply with the putty knife when removing the wallpaper. Use regular joint compound. Hold the taping knife so that it is almost parallel to the wall so as to get the smoothest finishing coat without lifting up any of the loose drywall paper. Doing so smoothes the compound out better and smoothes any paper fragments out better into the compound. Otherwise, the drywall paper fragments will just appear through the joint compound, as well.
For future use, make sure you hold the putty/drywall knife also almost parallel to the wall when removing the wallpaper, and never force it. If it does not come off easily, then soak it some more and let the water do the work, not the putty/drywall knife.

I had the wonderful pleasure of being Mikey's counselor for 4 summers in a row at Camp Independence. Many of my favorite and most memorable times at camp involved Mikey, and I will miss having his smiling face in my cabin. My deepest sympathies to your family.

Video games are now a health concern. That's what President Obama is saying anyways.
During a speech to the American Medical Association, President Obama made a comment about video games being a factor in unhealthy lifestyles.
To quote: The second step that we can all agree on is to invest more in preventive care so that we can avoid illness and disease in the first place. That starts with each of us taking more responsibility for our health and the health of our children.
It means quitting smoking, going in for that mammogram or colon cancer screening. It means going for a run or hitting the gym, and raising our children to step away from the video games and spend more time playing outside."

The Providence Mission reaches out beyond the walls of care settings to touch lives in the places where relief, comfort and care are needed. One important way we do this is through community benefit spending.
These investments not only support the health and well-being of our patients, but the whole community. Through programs and donations, Providence's community benefit connects families with preventive care to keep them healthy, fills gaps in community services and provides opportunities that bring hope in difficult times.
When the Sisters of Providence began our tradition of caring in eastern Washington 129 years ago, their ministry greatly depended on partnering with others in the community who were committed to doing good. Today, we collaborate with social service and government agencies, charitable foundations, community organizations, universities and many other partners to identify the greatest needs and create solutions together.

Our Mission is to care for everyone. We serve a large and growing population of Medicaid patients to help ensure those who are poor and vulnerable access care. Providence provided $76 million to cover the unfunded portion of government sponsored medical care that was delivered to 76,620 patients.
We believe everyone should have access to health care, regardless of their ability to pay. 660 people received free or reduced-price care from Providence hospitals and clinics in Spokane and Stevens counties in 2014.
Providence provided more than $1.7 million in grant support for local organizations working to meet community needs, including post-hospitalization care for the homeless, food for the hungry and a new autism treatment clinic.

[ 3 syll. di-mi-tri, dim-it-ri ] The baby boy name Dimitri is pronounced in Russian as Diy-MIY-TRiy †. Dimitri is used chiefly in the English, French, and Russian languages. It is derived from Old Greek origins. Dimitri is a contraction of the name Demetrius (English). Dimitrij (variant spelling in Russian) and Dmitri (variant spelling in English and Russian) are forms of Dimitri.
Dimitri is unusual as a baby boy name. Its usage peaked modestly in 1992 with 0.019% of baby boys being given the name Dimitri. It had a ranking of #502 then. The baby name has experienced a substantial fall in popularity since then, and is today of sporadic use. In 2012, among the family of boy names directly linked to Dimitri, Demetrius was the most commonly used.
Baby names that sound like Dimitri include Demitri, D Andre, Damitri, Damodar, Dandre, De Andre, De André, DeAndre, Deandra, Deandre, Deiondrae, Deiondraye, Demetre, Demetri, Demitry, Demontre, Deondre, Dimetre, Dimitar, and Dimitry.
† Pronunciation for Dimitri: D as in "day (D.EY)" ; IY as in "eat (IY.T)" ; M as in "me (M.IY)" ; T as in "tee (T.IY)" ; R as in "race (R.EY.S)"

Evidence for Vines and Ancient Cultivation from an Urban Area, Lattes (Herault), Southern France
Capdevila, Ramon Buxo I., Antiquity
The port of Lattes, ancient Lattara, lies halfway between Montpellier and the coast, 7 km from the sea, 4 m above sea-level on the banks of the Lez and the coastal lagoons, in the marshy area that lines the lower Languedoc coast (Py 1993) [ILLUSTRATION FOR FIGURE 1 OMITTED]. In ancient times the lagoons covered a wider area, rich in food resources, and extended for practically the whole length of the eastern Languedoc coastline. The climate is sub-humid Mediterranean; summer dryness can last for between 3 and 5 months according to the year, the spring and autumn parameters being highly variable.
Such local vegetation as there is, is of the marshland variety; facing south towards the coast, Crucianella maritima or Ammophila predominate in the dunes. Around the 'graus', waterways between the sea and the lagoons, areas of plantation include Tamarix gallica, Salix, Alnus glutinosa, Fraxinus oxyphilla, Ulmus, Populus alba and Platanus. Close to cultivated areas, about 10 km north of the site, areas of scrubland contain a complete range of low-lying ligneous vegetation: from Quercus coccifera and Brachypodium ramosum to very low-lying areas of woodland containing Quercus pubescens, Quercus ilex and Pistacia terebinthus.
Work at Lattes over the last 20 years has determined the duration of the occupation, and outlined a stratigraphy from the second half of the 6th century BC to the end of the 2nd and beginning of the 3rd centuries AD (Arnal et al. 1974; Py & Garcia 1994).
The present study of seeds and fruit uses samples from various excavations of 1986-91, relating to the period from the 4th century BC to the 1st century AD (Py & Garcia 1994), with two objectives: to investigate the settlement's agriculture and plant resources; and to identify the non-cultivated plant environment familiar to the inhabitants of ancient Lattara. Specific hypotheses are needed to account for the viti-culture of the period.
The initial studies of seed and fruit remains
From the very first borings made at Lattes, botanical remains were recovered from the early levels (borings 2 and 3, levels VII and VIII-IX, 5th century BC), and from the 'port' area (boring 9, level IB, 1st century BC/1st AD). In early levels are remains of grape vine-pips, cereals (hulled barley and wheat), and an olive-stone - the earliest at Lattes (Arnal et al. 1974). Boring 9 shows the presence of cereals (wheat and barley), nuts and peach-stones (GAP 1967). And part of a grape-pip is said to have been observed in 1965 during a boring on the 'Nicot' parcel of land (Richard 1973).
Other plant remains are: from boring 16 (the ditch at level III, 4th-2nd century BC), grape-pips, an olive-stone, vine-shoots; from boring 26, sector 11 (well 3, 1st century AD), cereal grains; sector 12 (well 1, 1st-2nd centuries AD), pine-kernel and nuts; and sector 21 (well 84/1, first half of 2nd century BC), grape-pips. These samples have always been found either in heavy concentrations of carbonized remains (borings 2 and 3, and on the land belonging to M. Nicot), or from damp areas such as canals, ditches or wells (as in the case of borings 9, 16 and 26).
Samples and their analysis
Experiments in 1986 and 1987 established a frame of reference for extracting samples from extensive excavation (Buxo 1989) from various stratigraphic units - in particular those richest in organic material or domestic waste, in which remains were widely dispersed, or in the waste from ditches, wells, post-holes or hearths (Buxo 1993).
The volume of sediment treated is different for each chronological period; in the largest layers one can distinguish road-fillings, soil sediment and ditch-fillings from the earlier periods (4th-3rd centuries BC), and fillings from ditches and wells from the more recent (2nd-1st centuries BC and 1st century AD).
The density of plant remains varies with the sediment: a large part of the plant remains are found in road-fillings, whilst ditch- and well-fillings predominate in the more recent layers. …

Wind tunnel designed, the FEEL lever is conceived to reduce the wind force effect even at very high speeds. The cavity at its end channels the air flow away from the lever, thus reducing the pressure effect to zero.
Machined from aluminium billet for exceptional robustness and long service life, our levers have a wide range of fine adjustments for the highest level of personalization and run on bronze bushings with special return springs for precise operation and reliability. The joint allows the lever to fold back in falls to prevent breakage.
Its exclusive surface finish gives outstanding grip.
Save on our last pair of Feel levers for your water-cooled Boxer! These will be replaced with the new 3D lever soon!
