2. As is well known, Akbar banned activities offensive to Hindus, such as cow-slaughter. He also abolished discriminatory taxes such as those levied on Hindu pilgrims, admitted Hindu sages into his private audience and Rajput chieftains into his ruling class, ordered the translation of Hindu sacred texts into Persian, and celebrated Hindu festivals.

5. Ibid., text, fol. 78b; trans., 1: 205. These political rites also carried the danger of encouraging loyalty to provincial governors at the expense of the larger loyalty due the emperor. This possibility was not lost on Jahangir himself, who at one point issued an edict forbidding governors to compel others to salute or make obeisance to them, to hold reviews with a jharokhā, or even to sit on places higher than half a human height above the ground. In a political universe in which the substance and symbolism of power overlapped, if not coincided, such niceties of elevation above ground level were far from trivial.

The Bahman Yast, composed most probably in the Achaemenid period (553–330 B.C.), stated that men at the Zoroastrian End of Time "have no gratitude and respect for bread and salt, and they have no affection for their country" (Pahlavi Texts, trans.

13. In the modern Persian language, as in Mughal Bengal, the metaphor of "salt" still expresses pervasive ideas of patronage, clientage, loyalty, and betrayal. It reflects a society deeply concerned with the fragility of human relationships—especially across different strata—and with how such relationships can be established, maintained, or broken. Thus namak khūrdan, "to eat salt [of someone]," means to accept, acknowledge, and enjoy the benefits of a patron. Conversely, namak-dān shikastan, "to break [someone's] salt vessel," means to betray a patron. Similarly, namak shinās, "acknowledging [someone's] salt," refers to one who is loyal to a patron; whereas namak nā-shinās, "not acknowledging [someone's] salt," refers to one who is disloyal to, or even betrays, a patron.

The idea that imperial servants were "the eyes and the ears of the king" extends far back in the political tradition of the ancient Near East; it was introduced into Perso-Islamic notions of statecraft via Iran's Sasanian dynasty.

18. Voyage dans les deltas du Gange, 333. Just as the ideology of salt, although of foreign origin, harmonized with Indian ideas of reciprocal obligations between people of different occupation or social rank (e.g., jājmān and kamīn), so also the donning of clothing already worn by the ruler/donor paralleled indigenous conceptions of religious authority. In the context of the ordinary Indian pūjā ceremony, the religious devotee accepts and eats prasād, or the leftovers of a meal offered a deity by the devotee. As these leftovers are considered ritually touched, discarded, and hence "polluted" by the divinity, ingesting them, like wearing the robe worn by a donor, expresses subordination to the divinity. Therefore, even though the terms namak and khil'at were foreign to India—one is Persian, the other Arabic—both found ready reception in the broader context of Indian culture. [BACK]

24. In 1583 Mirza 'Aziz Koka, one of Akbar's early governors, grew so disgusted with the delta's soggy weather that he pleaded for and won a transfer. Abu'l-fazl 'Allami, Akbar-nāma, trans., 3: 594; text, 3: 401. Military men, particularly cavalry officers, faced special difficulties moving men and equipment in a terrain utterly unlike the plains of North India. Mirza Nathan describes becoming hopelessly lost in a "swamp which appears in the whole country of Bengal during the rainy season. He found no way out of it and wandered about in that deep water in the whirlpool of perplexity." Nathan, Bahāristān, text, fol. 15b–16a; trans., 1: 43. [BACK]

27. Moreover, Dhaka's Muslim elite was overwhelmingly Shi'a, whereas the older ashrāf of Rajmahal had been generally Sunni. The predominance of Shi'as in Bengal became even more evident during the 21-year governorship of Prince Shujā' (1639–60), who according to later traditions brought three hundred Shi'a nobles to Bengal and even turned Shi'a himself.

29. Typical were those of Robert Orme, written in 1763: "The abundance of advantages peculiar to this country," he wrote, "through a long course of generations, have concurred with the languor peculiar to the unelastic atmosphere of the climate, to debase all the essential qualities of the human race, and notwithstanding the general effeminacy of character which is visible in all the Indians throughout the [Mughal] empire, the natives of Bengal are still of weaker frame and more enervated disposition than those of any other province." Orme, History of the Military Transactions of the British Nation in Indostan (reprint, Madras: Pharoah, 1861), 2: 4–5. Passages like this are often cited as representative of Orientalism, or of a British "colonial discourse." Whether located in the modern imposition of European rule over the peoples of Asia or traced to the writings of Dante or even Homer, this discourse has been identified as peculiarly European in origin and character. However, passages like this one from Abu'l-fazl suggest that at least some of its elements were rooted not in Europe but in India itself, and specifically in Mughal culture as articulated in or with reference to Bengal. Rather than bringing to Bengal ideas that were "inherently" European, men like Orme appear to have appropriated and assimilated values and attitudes that were already present in India, and that were associated in particular with Bengal's former ruling class. For a useful discussion of the Orientalism debate, see Aijaz Ahmad, "Between Orientalism and Historicism: Anthropological Knowledge of India," Studies in History 7, no. 1 (1991): 135–63. [BACK]

31. The shaikh was connected with the highest levels of power in the province. Having met the governor when the latter was once hunting in the Malda region, Shah Ni'mat Allah requested and received a grant of four hundred bighas of land. Later, Prince Muhammad Shuja', son of Emperor Shah Jahan and governor of Bengal from 1639 to 1660, became a disciple of the shaikh's, while his servants and descendants amassed such fortunes from the ancestral grant that they were able to acquire horses, elephants, camels, and hunting animals.

58. In 1679 Aurangzeb (r. 1658–1707), the most controversial of Mughal emperors, imposed the religion-sanctioned jizya tax on all non-Muslims of the empire. Theoretically required of non-Muslims in return for state protection, the jizya had never previously been imposed or collected in Bengal. But in early 1681 Dutch observers noted that imperial officials had begun collecting the jizya from the Hindus of Dhaka "ever so strictly." Dagh-Register gehouden int Casteel Batavia vant passerende daer ter plaetse als over geheel Nederlandts-India (Batavia: C. Kolff, 1928), A.D. 1680: 121. And in Cossimbazar, at that time the center of Bengal's flourishing textile industry, officials forcibly demanded the jizya from Hindu silk workers, which disrupted the local textile production business and drove the city's "little people" into the interior. Bengal's dīwān, or chief revenue officer, demanded that even resident European officials of the Dutch East India Company, as non-Muslims, pay the tax.

59. Fray Manrique, who was in Dhaka in 1640, wrote that both mullās and Sufis had urged the Mughal government in Dhaka to prosecute European Christian missionaries on grounds that they had been encouraging Muslims to break Islamic injunctions against taking pork and wine. But both Shah Jahan and the governor rejected these appeals. "These attempts at persecution," the friar observed, "would have succeeded had the [Christian] Brethren not obtained the support of the Emperor and consequently of the Nababo [governor]." Manrique, Travels, 1: 46–47. [BACK]
60. Nathan, Bahāristān, text, fol. 10b; trans., 1: 32. [BACK]
61. The following narrative is drawn from Manrique, Travels 2: 95–115. [BACK]
62. Manrique wrote that the birds had been strangled to death. But for Muslims, the taking of life in this manner is unlawful; the bird would have to have been properly decapitated with a knife. Either Manrique's Muslim assistant was not aware of the unlawfulness of his action, or, as is more likely, Manrique recalled this detail of his account incorrectly, substituting strangulation for a proper killing. [BACK]
63. This is the town listed in the ā'īn-i Akbarī as Narainpur. It was a pargana headquarters of some considerable size and importance, for Abu'l-fazl mentions that it had a strong fort on a hill, and that it maintained one hundred imperial cavalry and four thousand imperial infantry. ā'īn-i Akbarī, trans., 2: 156. [BACK]
64. Manrique, Travels, 2: 111–12. [BACK]
65. Ibid., 115. [BACK]
66. Manrique's own words are "in a Hindu pargana" (em pragana de Indus). As the translator remarks, the friar "must be recording the actual Hindi [i.e., Bengali] words as he remembered them, since the expression pargana is not one he would have used in giving a mere paraphrase" (Travels, 2: 112n). This is all the more likely given that Manrique referred to his persecutors not as "Heathens" or "Unbelievers," as was his usual practice when referring to non-Muslims of India, but by the Bengali word "Indu ." Hence the phrase em pragana de Indus is probably a nearly verbatim representation of the shiqdār's own words as recalled by Manrique, Hindu parganae, "in a Hindu pargana." [BACK]
67. Bir-Hamir, the zamīndār of Birbhum, which lay to the immediate west and southwest of Gaur, readily submitted to a Mughal army of two thousand cavalry and four thousand infantry. So did Shams Khan, the zamīndār of Pachet, located in the Damodar valley, in the present Bankura District. Salim Khan, the zamīndār of Hijli, which roughly corresponded to the present-day Midnapur District, ignored the advice of Afghans who counseled resistance; instead, he presented a tribute payment (pīshkash) to Mughal officers, who "conferred upon him the right of administration of his whole territory." Nathan, Bahāristān, text, fol. 6b; trans., 1: 19–20. [BACK]
68. Ibid., text, fol. 61b; trans., 1: 156–57. [BACK]
69. The architecture of these brick temples also points to Vaishnava influence: whereas classical Hindu temples in Bengal had been small, single-doored structures intended for little more than housing the deity's image, those built from the late sixteenth century on featured larger rooms, multiple doorways, porches, and additional chambers intended to accommodate the sort of convivial religious gatherings typical of Vaishnava devotionalism.

The longest period of the sultanate's domination of this region followed 'Ala al-Din Husain Shah's 1494 invasion and conquest of Kuch Bihar and Kamrup. Coins minted by the Husain Shahi government continued to mention "Kamru" until 1518, and from evidence in Ahom chronicles it appears the sultans remained in control over these frontier regions until 1533, when they were decisively defeated by the Ahom kings and forced to withdraw from Kuch Bihar and Kamrup altogether.

These enzymes support the normal digestion process to break down protein, starch, fat and fiber. Enzymes are a key to good cat nutrition. Even if you fed your pets huge amounts of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats and protein, without the enzymes to break them down, most would pass right through the digestive system and not get absorbed.

As you note in the book, painted screens originated in London in the 1700s. Why did they become so popular in Baltimore? One reason: working-class rowhouses. Baltimore's architecture required an intervention in the name of privacy. Painted screens, because you can see out and no one can see in, provided that measure of privacy for people living in rowhouses with no front yards. They also gave much-needed ventilation in the summer.
The Flaming Lips are playing Merriweather Post Pavilion on October 4. When you played there three years ago, I interviewed you a few weeks before the show and mentioned that I was bringing my kids to the concert and that it coincided with our first day of homeschool. And you volunteered to be guest instructor for the day and suggested I bring them out early, so you could show them around. You were incredibly gracious, gave a backstage tour, and sat them beside [guitarist] Steven [Drozd] for soundcheck.
We Will Rock You is launching its U.S. tour at the Hippodrome Oct. 15-20, but I read that neither you nor [Queen drummer] Roger Taylor was a big fan of musicals before this. What made you want to do this? Well, We Will Rock You is a musical, you know, and we came in to it as a body of people who really didn't relate that well to the genre of musical theater. We didn't want to put on something like My Fair Lady. This is rock and roll and it had to be something very different.

Pigtown's Carroll Park doesn't get too much activity—the occasional softball game, people visiting Mount Clare Museum House, or a neighborhood cleanup. But, on September 14, things will get a whole lot busier with The Shindig festival. Presented by Baltimore-based 24-7 Entertainment, the festival features a dozen rock bands. "I just wanted to throw a big rock-and-roll party," says Paul Manna, president of 24-7 Entertainment.
Costas Grimaldis first came across Ahn's light sculptures at the Korean artist's MICA thesis show in 2002. Since then, Ahn's work has been a fixture at Grimaldis's Charles Street gallery. He's also been compared to artists Dan Flavin and James Turrell, found his way into many private collections, and been exhibited in France, Germany, and at this year's Venice Biennale. Ahn's potential, like his mind-bending art, seems limitless.
A pair of gold statues sits prominently on Pat Moran's desk in her Canton office. Amidst the clutter of paperwork and stacks of DVDs, the figures of a winged woman holding a globe aloft are instantly recognizable as Emmys, the television industry's most prestigious award. But look closely and you might notice that one of Moran's Emmys—the one she received last year for casting HBO's Game Change—has a busted wing with a Band-Aid affixed to it. And its globe is dented.
"It took a header on to the floor," says Moran, her voice rising with each word.
It all started with a bay window. Joe Kro-Art installed a bay window, which he'd salvaged from a demolished Baltimore townhouse, on the side of his fledgling Ocean City gallery in 1972. Kro-Art needed a show window for displaying artwork and, hopefully, catching the eyes of tourists strolling the Boardwalk. It worked. People noticed the art-filled window, liked it, lingered by it, and often came inside to browse.
Remember when seeing the latest feature film was as easy as walking down the street? There was the Avalon in Park Heights, the Vilma near Clifton Park, the Boulevard in Waverly. . . . In fact, in 1962, there were 150 movie theaters in Baltimore City. Now there are five. The one-screen theaters simply couldn't compete with the multiplexes.
Artscape, America's largest free arts festival, is back for its 32nd year (July 19-21), and it's looking to take on the world— at least thematically. Celebrating more than 30 countries through both visual and performing arts, Artscape organizers boast that this year's festival is like being able to travel the world, "no passport required."

I feel real ownership in this show. I feel very invested in it. I care very much about it. I don't feel any more like a hired hand, you know? It's a strange feeling - I feel personally responsible for how the story goes. What happens. What the weaknesses are. And so in a way, some of the changes gave me an opportunity to have a voice in a different way.

Hi all,
If you know me in the real world or even here on TA you'd know I'm pretty passionate about the image of atheism, deconversion and evangelical atheism. A christian friend pointed me to a video (which you can watch here) by Greta Christina today that made me realize that there is a bit of a gap, a chasm, between what I believe and what most atheists believe that could probably be easily filled by a little clarification. Then, I realized, this might in fact be the key to addressing the larger, over-arching issue of anger amongst atheists and whether or not this is a good approach for evangelical atheists.
It just never occurred to me that this point of distinction even needed to be made, but listening to Great and the crowd watching I realized I had made a bad assumption. No, this distinction does in fact need to be made clear. Great gets it, so I'll try to recast her point here in the context of deconversion.
Adherents and their apologists who are angry about atheist anger are just trying to take away the one ingredient responsible for all social change. I took this as a given, but many don't realize that almost every major social movement, from women's rights, to the queer movement, to civil rights; have all been built on "righteous" anger. "Righteous" anger is a special breed of anger that, unlike unhealthy anger, is clearly justifiable. It is the expression of anger, imo, by an emotionally healthy, mature adult.
But what has concerned me is that I get the impression that all too many atheists are not applying this anger constructively. Rather, there is an almost immature, temper tantrum manner in which this gets expressed publicly.
My argument is that to be effective we must learn to channel that anger into something constructive, which means having the maturity and emotional stamina to refrain from public outbursts of anger and rather channel that anger into a social movement of change; of evangelical atheism which includes that unpopular topic of deconversion.
Atheists must learn that anger is a transformative force that can be used for constructive change. But this means being mature and learning how to express anger appropriately in public. There is a difference between anger expressed privately and anger expressed in public. Expressing anger in public is ill-advised if the only thing being expressed is anger. On the other hand, expressing how and why the things that anger you are reason for change is what we should be doing.
So, to be clear, my concern about the manner and tone of the "new atheists" movement comes about as a result of this realization, the same thing that Greta explains in her video much better than I can. And she also points out that when people demand that we "tone it down" they are really trying to take away from us the one thing that fuels social change. They are really just trying to "shut us up" and are doing what every reactionary element has done in the face of social change that begins to truly challenge status quo. For any role I've played in that I regret it and hope I don't do that anymore.
For my part I am so accustomed to refraining from expressing this anger publicly that I have to catch myself sometimes even in private conversations, especially with adherents, when I say, "oh, I'm not really angry about that". Well, I am, but I choose to refrain from expressing naked anger in public as it is counter-productive. When expressed publicly anger should, imo, be channeled as a constructive conversation used to persuade, not defame us and alienate adherents. So, the litany of things that anger us are valid things to talk about, I just think we should be careful in public how we frame it.
I'd like to thank my Christian friend for pointing me to this video and I'd like to know what others think about this. In particular, do you express your anger with religion differently in public and private?

This one doesn't have a creator God, but it has a biological process / instinct in place of God's love.
It doesn't matter what people call it. But it corresponds exactly with God's love.
Blaine - concepts are independent of words. Think in concepts. This is why so much philosophy careers off the rails - people rely on words.
And precisely how are you supposed to communicate those concepts without words? You may be thinking in concepts, and I may be doing so, but how do you know I am thinking in the same concepts you are?
It's really, really a bad idea to just assume so. So how do you find out and then try to get on the same page so you can at least have a coherent discussion?
OK, it's probably true that words, pictures and equations are the best tools for communicating intellectual concepts. There's a process of agreeing on what we both mean, and of identifying ambiguities or disagreements in meaning. Words can be very ambiguous because they often have multiple meanings and shades of meaning. That's why so much philosophy looks like a plate of cold spaghetti, and about as appetizing.
The things you say benefit us, Sarah.
I would like to make the following point and it is only about me and the way I look at theists and religion in general. I do not have a shred of faith in any god. I see religion and the need for it as a throwback to the dark-ages. I cannot think of any use or need for it in the modern world as a tool to investigate anything. I see it as something that is long past it sell-by date. It has nothing to offer me. I am often astounded and bewildered that so many of my species still believe in this delusion. Sometimes I wish they would just snap out of it. All these people wander around telling me their revealed truth is the only Truth and yet not a shred of evidence for it. All this idiotic babble about being saved by the son of the creator of the universe!! What are you talking about??? You expect me to believe that you are going to become immortal for believing this?? I want nothing to do with it. I don't care who believes it or who believes I am a sinner or that I will burn for all eternity . If you want to believe that then please do. I am not out to stop you. I don't care if you believe you will come back as an elephant in the next life or you were once a Minoan king. I don't care if you believe aliens probed you and let you live to tell me all about it. I don't care if you believe in other bullshit like homeopathy or astrology or magic crystals or psychic energy fields. I don't care if you don't like my attitude towards your sacred beliefs. I don't care if you think me intellectually arrogant or are upset I don't suffer fools gladly. I don't care if you think this world is 6,000 years old and I don't care if you want to spend your life on your knees wailing to you god about how tough life is in what you call this valley of sin. I do not understand what you are talking about. You can't even explain these gods to me without contradicting yourselves.
Now if you are a Theist don't tell me how devout you are. All you are doing is describing the strength of your delusion and I want to know you even less. However if you live by the Christian or Moslem values that you say you cherish, that you do not throw the first stone, that you do try to love your neighbour, that you do try to be "good" even if you think you need to be commanded to be so then I have no issue with you even if I consider the source of your morals born of barbarism and nowhere near as good as those of my fellow Atheists. I completely respect you right to do so, to believe what you like and I will even defend your right to be allowed to do so.
However if you knock on my front door to tell me what I believe is wrong because your ancient book says so or that if II do not believe what you are telling me even though you offer no evidence as to why I am wrong or more importantly why you are right then please get the fuck off my door step and don't come back.
If I see or hear you as a group or a deluded individual trying to make your beliefs part of government policy then I will do my best to knock you down. You can choke on the ignorance of your homophobia. You can make bigots of yourselves all day long if you want but don't let me see or hear you because I will take you all on with such ferocity that I will seem to you to appear from the last chapter of your magic book.
If I see or hear you trying to peddle you wares in schools and indoctrinate young minds I will attempt to destroy every effort you make. I don't care how well-meaning or pious you consider yourselves – keep the fuck away from young minds. Your religion is not welcome in our secular schools.
And please don't think I am angry with you. I think as a group – whichever cult or god it is that you follow – you are a drain on the evolution of mankind. You have nothing to offer those of us that have left such nonsense behind us. We know the age of enlightenment is getting brighter and we are leaving you behind. I am completely calm when I tell you all this. I have no intention of entertaining any of your beliefs so please don't bother to even try telling me about them. Keep your toys to yourself I don't want to play with them. So dear Theist believe whatever you want to believe. I am an Atheist and want nothing you have to offer. Do you think I am calm enough to have my anger managed?
I wanted to thank you as well as kk..I look for you two on here..like very half hour.. Its been a while since I have had this much personal growth...!
Not easy to bury a 40 year old belief system..even if i doubted it.
Hey RobertPiano,
Not easy to bury a 40 year old belief system..even if i doubted it
Exactly. And adherents are just like those of you who deconverted before, they're just at a different place in their journey. When they deconvert they will share some of the same anger and frustrations you have.
- kk
Well, you said it well. Reg may not be angry as he says, but that is not the impression I would have if someone told me to get the f&*k off their doorstep. Perception matters. And @Reg, I'm sure you do care about them because you or someone you know has been in their position before. They're just seeking like you were. Of course, it is infuriating when someone tries to shove something down your throat, but I agree with Sarah that flipping the tables on them and deconverting them is the more productive route (although Sarah didn't explicit suggest that, its kinda what she's saying wittingly or not).
My mom always invited JW and others into our home and immediately started deconverting them. It was hilarious because she succeeded more often than not. She turned out to be the real evangelical.

THE SHREVEPORT TIMES Sunday, Jan. 13,1974 Capital Improvement Plans at Confederate Memorial Medical Center (CMMC), teaching hospital for the LSU Medical School at Shreveport, are discussed on a weekly basis by officials of both institutions. Going over plans at a recent session were (left to right around the table) Dr. George Meneely, LSU Medical School and CMMC coordinator of plans; Joe Germany, assistant administrator at CMMC; Dr. Rod M. Yeager, director of CMMC; Dr. Jack W. Gamble, chief of the Department of Oral Surgery at CMMC; and Michael Svoren, assistant coordinator of plans for the medical school. (Times Photos by Billy Upshaw) '73 Saw the Old Guard Change at Both CMMC And LSU Med School Schumpert Memorial Hospital Announced Plans . . . started $2.3 million cancer center. By Margaret Martin Times Medical Writer The Louisiana State University Medical School at Shreveport and its teaching hospital, Confederate Memorial Medical Center (CMMC) grabbed top headlines in the field of medicine in the area during 1973. The old guard changed at both the school and the hospital. A young and vigorous 32-year-old heart surgeon, Dr. Rod M. Yeager, replaced 78-year-old Dr. Edgar Galloway as head of CMMC just at the beginning of the year. Stepping in as dean of the medical school was Dr. Clifford G. Grulee Jr., who held the same title at the University of Cincinnati Medical School in Ohio. He replaced Dr. Edgar Hull who retired July 1. Yeager considers completion of plans for the long-range capital improvement for CMMC as one of the most significant accomplishments during the past 12 months. It spells out the goals and objectives for the future of the medical complex, and allows the administration to organize its efforts toward accomplish-ment of these ideals for the next few years," Yeager said. The long-range plan, Yeager said in an interview, "gives us goals to shoot for." During the year Gov. Edwin Edwards gave the hospital the go ahead for the $12 million renovation, the first major renovation the hospital has had in 20 years since it was constructed. Randle Hand, architect, was authorized to proceed with plans. Initial financing will be done with revenue bonds from Louisiana Downs Race Track. Included in the project will be air con-ditioning, switching wards from four-bed rooms to two and three-bed rooms, with bathrooms in each; new lights and floors and a paint job. Already during the past year CMMC has had major changes in physical makeup. Construction was started and com-pleted on new surgical, medical and coronary intensive care units, and a Cobalt Therapy Unit. Also added to the hospital's lists of services is a new respiratory therapy facility and a Pulmonary Function Laboratory. On the second floor of the old out-patient department is a new Heart Station, and on the first floor two new classrooms have been completed for use in inservice education programs. Other new departments and services which have been created during the year are a Department of planning; Depart-ment of Infectious Disease Control; Department of Pulmonary Medicine; Department of Medical Education to ad-minister graduate and postgraduate training programs; Department of Volunteer Services, with 81 workers providing services for various areas of the hospital; Employe Health Clinic, established to serve employes who become ill while on duty at the hospital,. and to give pre-employment physical examinations to prospective employes; Department of Biomedical Electronics; Messenger Service, and Employe Infor-mation Service. During the year two additional training programs, one for inhalation technicians and on? for emergency medical technicians, were instituted. Also trained at the medical center during the year were 26 resident physicians; 22 interns; 53 nursing students; 13 medical technologists, and 28 X-ray technologists. Number of in-terns and residents was increased from 97 last year to 137 this year. Twenty-two doctors were added to the medical visiting staff, bringing the total to 280 members. The CMMC budget was also increased last year — from $12,090,179 for fiscal year 1973 to $13,999,629 for the present fiscal year. More Employes "This allowed us," Yeager said, "to increase the number of employes from 1,116 in December 1972, to a total of 1,221 in December 1973. A total of 297 em-ployes were promoted and reallocated to higher positions during the year, and a total of 1,207 employes received a much deserved pay raise during the year.U • A total of almost $400,000 in con-tributions from private citizens, grants and foundations were given to the hospital during 1973, Yeager reported. Housed at CMMC during the year was a communication system which will enable the physician at the emergency room to talk to ambulance staffers. The $4,700 cost of the program — funded by the Regional Medical Program through the Louisia/ia Hospital Association — is a joint effort of CMMC, the Shreveport Medical Society, the Northwest Louisiana Planning Council, and the LSU School of Medicine. Also during the year interns and residents got salary hikes ranging from $100 to $250 a month, bringing the stipends from $650 to $950 a month. Among the biggest news items during the year, for the medical school was graduation of the first class of 31 medical students. Gov. Edwin W. Ed-wards spoke at the May ceremonies at the Civic Theater. The school is looking toward a July 1, 1975, completion date, according to Dean Grulee. Meanwhile, the school continues to house its administrative staff at the Shreveport Veterans Administration Hospital. The library, classrooms and laboratories are also located at the VA. During the year, the school was fully accredited by the American Association of Medical Schools, the necessary stamp of approval given by the medical profes-sion. In the area of personnel, Dr. D. E. Scott, who is on the staff at the Univer-' sity of Texas Southwestern Medical School, was named professor and head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the local school. He replaces Dr. Arthur Fort, who resigned to take a position in New Orleans. Initial efforts to establish a profes-sional service plan which would allow the medical school faculty to see private patients were also taken during the 12 months. Although at most medical schools physicians are able to see private patients, the local policy has allowed that practice only on a consulting basis. Grulee said that he has already spoken to and, received what he termed "a courteous reception," most of the local hospital medical hospital staffs. He said he will, within the next month, ap-point a task force, including fulltime and voluntary staffers, to study the matter. Primary concern at the VA Hospital is taking care of patients, said Director L. M. Frazier Jr. That complaints about service have dropped, Frazier considers significant. Helpful both to the community and to the patient though, are the numerous, training programs which are conducted at the VA. These include training programs for nuclear medicine technicians, which was activiated last year; medical laboratory technicians; resident physicians; nurses; dental assistants; laboratory technicians; speech pathologists; dietetic students; social workers, psychological technicians; physical therapists, and medical record workers. Also receiving training at the hospital was an assistant hospital • director trainee, and a hospital administrative resident. Although numbers vary, a total of 580 nurses and 34 medical residents received training at the VA, Frazier said. Most of the training programs were done by arrangement with state colleges which need clinical experiences as part of student training. Training Emphasized Frazier also said that he feels con-tinued training of VA employes is impor-tant. In 1973 a total of 236 employes par-ticipated in training programs away from the local VA station. Locally, the seminars included programs for 40 top level employes. Other trainees include a prosthetics representative trainee who has been as-signed to a VA hospital in Omaha, Neb. Workload at the institution is in-creasing, Frazier said, because of liberalized admission and outpatient laws governing the VA. During the past year, Frazier said, the hospital was okayed for $950,000 in funds to renovate certain areas for research and education programs, and was given a $252,000 planning grant. Statistics show that most Shreveport area hospitals showed an increase in patients in 1973 over 1972. Admissions to the VA during 1973 were 8,200, as compared to 7,500 in 1972; turnover for beds was 173 per cent in 1973 and 155 per cent for 1972; outpatient visits were 42,500 for 1973 and 37,600 in 1972. There were 22,662 admissions to CMMC in 1972-73 fiscal year, and 22,234 in 1971-72. Other hospital statistics show out-patient clinic visits, 158,304 for the 1972- 73 fiscal year, and 150-156 for 1971-72; outpatient visits, 168,394 and 159,802; emergency visits, 10,728 and 9,646; surgical procedures, 6,692 and 6,087. Bossier City General Hospital had 5,837 admissions in 1973 and 5,459 the year before; patient days of care, 31,632 and 30,761; and surgical procedures, j 2,460 and 2,138. There were 1,020 patients admitted to Brentwood Hospital in 1973 and 1,025 in 1972, and patient days of care were 31,816 and 28,780. Admissions to Fairfield Hospital in the 1972-73 fiscal year were 1,343 and in the 1971-72 fiscal year, 907. There were 8,246 days of patient care in the 1972-73 fiscal year and 6,345 in the 1971-72 fiscal year. Schumpert Memorial Hospital recor-ded a total of 18,526 admissions; 119,479 days of patient care; 87.51 per cent of oc-cupancy and 40,027 emergency and out-patient visits last year. In 1972 the totals were 17,800 admis-sions; 116,000 days of patient care; 82.81 per cent occupancy, and 34,690 emergency and outpatient visits. Admissions to Willis-Knighton Memorial Hospital in 1973 were 12,473 and in 1972 were 11,741; patient days of care, 67,039 and 62,725; emergency visits, 13,672 and 12,937, and births, 657 and 617. Statistics for Doctors' Hospital show there were 6,593 admissions in 1973 and 6,388 in 1972; and 43,626 patient days of care in 1973 and 42,573 in 1972. There were no statistics available for either P&S or Highland hospitals. During 1973 Fairfield Hospital spent $19,000 to bring the facility up to life and safety code standards. Highland hired a new comptroller, Thurman Moore. Making news at Doctors Hospital were new looks in the emergency room, the lobby, business office and pharmacy. Bossier General opened a new $1,020,000 two-story wing which has a 75- bed capacity, bringing the hospital up to 175 beds. The boaFd of directors okayed a $4,287,918 budget, which included the first increases in room rates since 1970. Schumpert Expanding Schumpert announced a $14 million building program, which includes the $2.3 million Cancer Treatment Center, j and appointment of Dr. Rozelle Hahn as director of medical education. A $1 million diagnostic and radiology treatment center was announced by Wil-lis- Knighton in 1973. Being constructed during the year was the $2.2 million of-fice building complex: A $40,000, 800-argon laser photocoagulator, was added to the hospital's equipment. It is especially designed for use on people with diabetics who have eye problems. Expected to be opened this year is a new chapel honoring the late Dr. James A. Howell.

Stovall Weems, C3 Creative church Conference, steven furtick, judah smith, love
Many people struggle to believe the promises of God because they have a wrong view of God's countenance towards them. If we could see the face of Jesus it would change the way we see ourselves and cities. With Judah Smith.
Steven Furtick preaches three encouraging statements to tell each other:
1.You are doing better than you think you are. 2.You matter more than you think you do. 3. It's less about you than you think

Things I liked:Well built and powerful,Not too hard to cock, my thirteen year old son can handle it,he is a defensive lineman ... but any reasonable strong adult could handle it. I bought it in .25, the right caliber for this weapon, and it is a lethal weapon, I wont let my kids out of sight with this gun, any foolish mistake could mean death. Extremely accurate, I fitted it with a quality leapers 3x-9x, recommended mounts are holding up well. A gun that will last, perhaps the English made version was better, but for a combination of value and power hard to beat this truly magnum springer. Things I would have changed:Heavy gun, must be shipped properly. What others should know:Please be careful, 'this is not a toy" applies to this gun, and this is not a joke. Things I liked:The rifle over all, and it's .22 caliber power range, and love the large thumb safety button
mine is very accurate Things I would have changed: I would shorten the length of the butt of the stock with optional spacers for adjustment on length of pull. The rifle is not balanced it's heavier at the barrel end / also with the the stock off the receiver, the butt end is light" and almost sounds hollow when you tap hard on it. Make the front sight removable so proper crowning of the barrel can be done! The price is 100.00 more, compared to the Hatsan 135 which is just as good, and made by same company.its a hatsan not a webley! What others should know:If you know how to tune a rifle, and can make your own delrin spring guides, then I would recommend this/ other wise I would not. like most air rifles they all need a complete going over, and tune this was no exception. My rifle barrel has accession rather then droop. also stock may need to be bedded inside, because the sas keeps vibrating loose they usually never do. I can do all that my self, the better bag for your buck if you can do your own work is the Hatsan 135, but I love them both. at 9lbs they are heavy, eat your Wheaties, and set up a rest and good chair for proper cocking and shooting if you will be shooting most of the day. Things I liked:It had plenty of power Things I would have changed:Very poor quality. Safety would stick on, and the gun would fire unexpectedly. The"quattro" trigger would not go below 5 lbs. There was a full 1/4 inch sideplay in the trigger blade. What others should know:Made in Turkey Show Other ReviewsCreate an online review and share your thoughts with other customers

How to Become a Microloan Intermediary
SBA's Microloan Program provides small businesses with small short-term loans for working capital or the purchase of inventory, supplies, furniture, fixtures, machinery and/or equipment. SBA makes funds available to specially designated intermediary lenders, which are nonprofit organizations with experience in lending and technical assistance. These intermediaries then make loans to eligible borrowers in amounts up to a maximum of $50,000. The average loan size is about $13,000. Applications are submitted to the local intermediary and all credit decisions are made on the local level.
Staff from the Microenterprise Development Branch provided a two-day training to existing Microloan Intermediaries in Louisville, Kentucky on April 16-17, 2012. The materials presented at the training conference are included...

Imagine playing an intense, high-speed game while tumbling over your teammates. Now, do it all while holding your breath.
Welcome to the madness of underwater hockey, a decades-old sport that boasts an international following -- but still draws disbelief and chuckles in the United States.
"I think most people hear (about it) and think, 'oh that's not really a sport,' and brush it off," said Chris Docampo of the Swordfish Underwater Hockey Club in Atlanta. "Maybe that's why it's not heard of as much."
Far from a joke, underwater hockey combines speed, agility, strength and strategy -- several feet below the nearest oxygen supply.
"This is for people who are true athletes," said Keith Morgan, DoCampo's teammate.
At 52, Morgan is almost twice the age of Docampo.
But here, age, size and gender don't matter. The water is the great equalizer.
Playing under pressure
Play begins when two flipper-donning teams line up along opposite ends of a pool and race toward a puck submerged in the middle.
Some splash and tear across the surface like speed demons, while others disappear immediately underwater.
If you dive under right away, you might reach the puck first -- only to realize you're out of oxygen and need to come up for air.
Sprinting across the surface allows you to breathe through a snorkel; but someone else will probably reach the puck first.
What happens after the initial face-off can only be described as elegant chaos.
The neon-finned players flip around and over each other like a sphere of tropical fish circling prey.
In this bizarre, three-dimensional playing field, attackers can sneak in from above, the side and even underneath.
At 3 pounds, the puck is about eight times heavier than an ice hockey puck so it can stay grounded underwater.
But such density, combined with the surrounding water pressure, also makes it that much harder to push with a 12-inch stick.
At the bottom, Docampo whips his body around in a tight circle to defend the puck from swarming opponents.
"A lot of (technique) comes from experience -- asking people, 'How did you do that?' And a lot of it is muscle memory," Docampo said.
Moments later, as two opponents battle for the puck midwater, Nikita Gokhale zips across the pool floor like a caffeinated eel and steals the puck from underneath the players.
She scores a goal as stunned defenders watch behind goggles.
Silent strategy
Unlike in other team sports, players can't hear what their teammates might say. The deep sounds of swooshing water drown everything out.
"I guess there is no way to communicate in the water. You just develop an intuition of what to do when," said Andrei Savu, co-founder of the Swordfish Underwater Hockey team.
That intuition is particularly important because no single player can swim to the bottom and wage battle without needing to come up for air -- and needing an astute teammate to take over the play.

Free concert by German rock band "Madsen" on November 4
Friday, October 28th, 2011The famous German rock/pop band Madsen (http://www.madsenmusik.de/; or: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madsen_%28band%29#History) will come to Tucson on Friday, November 4, 2011 as part of their US tour, to give a free concert at 5 p.m. at Empire High School in Vail: 10701 E. Mary Ann Cleveland Way, Tucson, AZ 85747. Tel.: Office: 520.879.3000. Fax: 520.879.3001.
The Madsen rock band is wildly popular in Germany for their rock-pop music (about 109,000 'likes' on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/Madsenmusik). Their tour is being sponsored by the German Embassy and the Goethe-Institute, the cultural representative of the Federal Republic of Germany, in order to promote German culture, language, and music.
Mad about German – Mad about Madsen
This is the motto of the 2011 concert tour of the German Indie rock band Madsen. From October 14th to November 18th Madsen will tour the United States. As part of the "do Deutsch" campaign, the Goethe-Institut organizes a four-week music tour with the German Indie rock band Madsen. As "ambassadors of the German language" the four-member band MADSEN will perform at 13 different venues between New York and San Francisco.
And Tucson is one of their 13 venues. This concert will be free and open to all. At 4:30 p.m. a steel band will perform as a warm-up. No reservations necessary (though you are most welcome and encouraged to practice your German beforehand).

Live Earth India
More than 1 Million Participate in Friends of Live Earth events in India
Despite our decision to cancel our Live Earth India event in December 2008 because of the Mumbai terrorist attacks, we were thrilled that so many of our community partners in India decided to continue with the "Friends of Live Earth" events they had already planned. Live Earth continues to work for solutions to the climate crisis for the good of the people of India and around the world. We were inspired by the enthusiastic response to the "Friends of Live Earth India" program we have received from environmental, educational, corporate, and other organizations throughout India and internationally, and we welcomed the opportunity to reach individuals, students, and employees through the "Friends" events, creating a lasting legacy of awareness and change. We felt that the Friends of Live Earth Program was one of the best ways we could continue to support our mission after the cancellation of our concert event.
Despite the cancellation of the Live Earth India concert, more than 5,000 Friends of Live Earth events are happening in India. We would love to share with you one of the events that took place last weekend.
The Guru Nanak English High School in Mumbai, India held their first Friends of Live Earth event on December 6th.
On Friday November 21st, the Art of Living Foundation organized a concert in Delhi featuring more than 1,000 sitar players performing simultaneously. If that wasn't spectacle enough, there was a sea of 200,000 people who attended the concert.
Gaurav Gupta, deputy director of The Climate Project India, provided this exciting report on the first Friends of Live Earth event in India.
CNN's Fareed Zakaria recently spoke with former Vice President and Live Earth co-founder Al Gore about about the results of the U.S. election, the global economic crisis, and Live Earth India.
Gore noted that America must act first in order for countries like China and India to address the climate crisis. Check out the interview to learn how India is tackling the problem this December.
400 million people in India lack access to electricity. Light a Billion Lives will provide solar lanterns to replace kerosene lamps and provide income to local micro-businesses.

Last night Live Earth co-founder and former U.S. Vice President Al Gore was interviewed on NBC Universal's Access Hollywood. In addition to sharing his thoughts on the election of Barack Obama and potential solutions to the climate crisis that may emerge from the Obama administration, Mr. Gore was asked about Live Earth India.

The Hindustan Times, based in Mumbai, previewed Live Earth India with an excellent interview of will.i.am. Behind the paper's front page portrait (see below), will.i.am discusses what Live Earth has to offer and why Live Earth India will be such an influential event. Read excerpts of the interview below:
On will.i.am's interest in working in the India music scene:
Are you clued into the Indian music scene at all?
Not much but I would really like to develop an international act here. Latin music has a Shakira and Jennifer Lopez. Americans have Fergie and Beyonce. Australians have Natalie Imbruglia. But there's no big youth Indian music star, which is unfortunate. There is so much talent there but no one knows that.
STAR and Live Earth announced an extensive list of legendary musicians who will be performing at the upcoming Live Earth India concert on December 7. Joining Grammy-winners Bon Jovi and Live Earth India spokesperson and actor, Amitabh Bachchan is a list of global superstars including Roger Waters, will.i.am, Anoushka Shankar, Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Hrithik Roshan, Preity Zinta, Bipasha Basu, Shiamak Davar, Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal, Purab Kohli, Hard Kaur, Jalebee Cartel, Vishal & Shekhar, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Sunidhi Chauhan, Sonu Nigam and Shaan.

A poster witnessed a woman with two (or more) children and a busybody asked her if they had the same father. The woman said "What an interesting assumption" and an Ehell phrase was born.
