- Reid: How many existentialists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
- Rossi: [whispers] Don't.

- Reid: That's privileged information.

- Reid: You should definitely call us. Even if you just think you see him, you should call us.
- Austin: [smiling flirtatiously] And if I don't see him?
- Reid: Excuse me?
- Austin: Can I still call you?
- Reid: [squeakily] Yeah. Yeah, you can call me.
- Austin: Cool. [Reid turns to leave] Oh wait...I don't have your number.
- Reid: Oh, it's behind your barrette.
- [Austin reaches into her hair and pulls out Reid's card. He smiles and leaves. She watches him go, smirking]
- Morgan: See? That's what I'm talking about. That's called Game!

I read in one of your books that's how you build your behavioural database, right? Maybe you can learn something from me. I've got a lot of questions myself. I'll be honest with you if you're honest with me. Because the one thing that you always ask is the one that I don't understand. Why?
- Rossi: Austrian novelist Marie Von Ebner-Eschenbach wrote, "In youth we learn; in age we understand."
Pleasure is my Business [4.16]
- Hotchner: "The prostitute is not, as feminists claim, the victim of men, but rather their conqueror, an outlaw, who controls the sexual channels between nature and culture." Camille Paglia
Demonology [4.17]
- Prentiss: Leonardo da Vinci said, "He who does not punish evil, commands it to be done."
- Prentiss: Is Hotch still here?
- Garcia: Oh, I'm pretty sure he lives here.
- Prentiss: It's like the end of "The Dead." When Gretta remembers the boy she loved when she was younger, and she says, "I think he died for me."

- Morgan: "No matter how dark the moment, love and hope are always possible." George Chakiris
Roadkill [4.23]
- Hotchner: "I'm not sure about automobiles. With all their speed forward, they may be a step backward in civilization." Booth Tarkington
- Prentiss: Well, I think it's safe to assume that our UnSub is male.
- Hotch: I agree with you, given what we know about aggressive driving and road rage.
- Prentiss: And the fact that men have an unnatural bond with their cars.
- JJ: That is true.
- Morgan: Wait a minute, I don't know about "unnatural".
- JJ: I once dated a guy who washed his car more than he washed his hair.
- Rossi: A nice car needs love.
- JJ: And a woman doesn't?
- Rossi: I'm not qualified to answer that.
- JJ: "The human voice can never reach the distance that is covered by the still, small voice of conscience." Mahatma Gandhi
Amplification [4.24]
- Reid: "It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt and it will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through all the land of Egypt." Exodus 9:9
- Reid: [to Morgan, waking up from the anthrax attack] Are you eating jello?
- Morgan: Hey kid. Hey Doc, he's back!
- Reid: Is there any more jello?
- Reid: "Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it." Helen Keller
To Hell... And Back (Part 1) [4.25]
- Hotchner: Flannery O'Connor said, "If there were no hell, we would be like the animals. No hell, no dignity."
To Hell... And Back (Part 2) [4.26]
- Reid: "Do you ever get the feeling that a case isn't going to end well?"
- [after seeing the pairs of shoes of the 89 victims]
- Det. Benning: God...
- Morgan: I don't think God has been here a long time.
- Hotchner: Sometimes there are no words, no clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day. Sometimes you do everything right, everything exactly right, and still you feel like you failed. Did it need to end that way? Could something have been done to prevent the tragedy in the first place? Eighty-nine murders at the pig farm, the deaths of Mason and Lucas Turner make 91 lives snuffed out. Kelly Shane will go home and try to recover, to reconnect with her family but she'll never be a child again. William Hightower, who gave his leg for his country, gave the rest of himself to avenge his sister's murder. That makes 93 lives forever altered, not counting family and friends in a small town in Sarnia, Ontario, who thought monsters didn't exist until they learned that they spent their lives with one. And what about my team? How many more times will they be able to look into the abyss? How many more times before they won't ever recover the pieces of themselves that this job takes? Like I said, sometimes there are no words or clever quotes to neatly sum up what's happened that day.
- The Reaper: You should have made a deal
- Hotchner: Sometimes, the day just...
- [Screen fades to black, then a gunshot is heard]
- Hotchner: ... ends.

America's high-tech companies are ramping up spending on research. That's a good sign for the country's competitiveness—and an opportunity for stock investors.
One-fifth of the companies in the Standard & Poor's 500 index spend at least 5% of their revenue on research and development, most of them information-technology or drug outfits. Among these, median research-and-development spending increased by 9% over the past year. That's triple the median increase in revenue for those companies.
Today's surging research outlays can pay off nicely for stockholders. A landmark study from Georgetown University found that during the 50 years through 2001, when R&D-intensive companies suddenly started spending more, their profit margins tended to rise one to three percentage points faster than those of peers over the following five years, and their shares tended to beat the market by five percentage points.
U.S. COMPANIES HELD a record $1.45 trillion in cash at the end of 2012, up 10% from 2011's level, according to Moody's. And while 58% of that is stashed overseas for tax reasons, that leaves a mountain of idle cash sitting stateside.
A landmark study found that during the 50 years through 2001, when R&D-intensive companies suddenly started spending more, their shares tended to beat the market by five percentage points. Stuart Goldenberg for Barron's
For their U.S. funds, corporations face a carrot and a stick. Congress currently offers generous tax credits for companies that boost R&D spending, while the Federal Reserve punishes cash-clutchers with wealth-sapping interest rates. The one-year Treasury bill recently yielded 0.14%, too little to keep up with inflation, which ran at 2% in the year through February.
That's no reason for companies to squander money, of course. For accounting purposes, research isn't treated as a long-term investment, but rather as a simple expense. Tax credits aside, a research outlay comes straight out of profits while adding nothing to a company's assets, even though it clearly creates value. In other words, it makes companies look less prosperous today before adding to their profits tomorrow.
That's where patient stock investors can make money.

They're also twice as expensive as the typical large company, trading at about 30 times earnings.
But investors who watch for high-tech businesses with surging R&D spending can get more growth than they pay for. They effectively buy into new products or services before they're launched, or even announced, and long before Wall Street has built them into earnings forecasts. One study from the University of Illinois even found that investors can beat the market by favoring stocks with low price-to-R&D ratios, just as they might do with shares with modest price/earnings ratios.
The five companies that follow have increased their research-and-development spending by at least 15% over the past year and look reasonably priced.
A year ago, Forest Laboratories (FRX) saw its patent expire on the blockbuster antidepressant Lexapro. The effect on the company's financials hasn't been subtle. Sales for Forest Laboratories in fiscal 2013, which runs through this month, are expected to fall by one-third from the total a year earlier; earnings per share, by 90%.
The company has another patent expiration coming, for the Namenda Alzheimer's drug, in fiscal 2015. But it also has the "deepest pipeline in specialty pharma," with six drugs poised to launch over the next two years, according to Jim Molloy at Janney Capital Markets, who initiated coverage of the stock in January with a Buy rating. One of the new drugs, Linzess, for irritable-bowel syndrome, will grow into a $1 billion seller, he predicts—a big hit for a company with $3 billion in yearly sales.
Malloy expects earnings for Forest, which fetches about $38 a share, to rebound from 35 cents a share to $2.15 in two years, and cash and equivalents to swell to $14 a share in a year, with no debt.
Google stock (GOOG) has rocketed from about $650 a share in mid-November to more than $800. It now goes for 18 times this year's earnings forecast, versus 15 times for the typical U.S. stock; but the company's momentum justifies the premium price. The percentage of its searches that return lucrative product listings with images is surging, largely because Google now requires merchants to buy such ads to participate in its Google Shopping program, according to Jefferies analyst Brian Pitz.
GOOGLE'S YOUTUBE unit is running more ads, so revenue there should jump 76% this year, to $4.5 billion. Mobile revenue is soaring, too, and don't count out Google's ability to make winning handsets and tablets. When it bought Motorola Mobility last year, it inherited 12-to-18 months' worth of Motorola products in development, according to Pitz. From now on, products should show more influence from Google.

Three suspected serial burglars from the Los Angeles area were arrested Thursday night by Madera police officers inside Home Depot after they allegedly attempted to use a fraudulent credit card to purchase $1,300 worth of wire.
Detective Sgt. Robert Salas of the Madera Police Department said the three suspects — Christian Rodriguez, 35, Dolores Perez, 21, and Ferreol Cardenas, 31 — are all from the Los Angeles area and are thought to be behind a number of Home Depot robberies throughout the Central Valley.
"These guys are criminals that go up and down the Valley attempting to steal high-value items so they can resell them on the street," Salas said.
Salas said that after a Home Depot was robbed in Visalia, loss prevention staff at the stores cooperated with each other and police to identify and prepare for the three suspected burglars based on employee statements and video surveillance...

WASHINGTON – Christie Mims is the founder of the Revolutionary Club, "a coaching service for the busy career woman who feels trapped in her suit."
The club offers coaching and group support for women who are ready to make a major transition in their career.
After earning her masters degree, Mims worked her way up the corporate ladder at a large company. She managed multi-million dollar client portfolios, lead staffing, recruiting, and business development.
She admits she spent plenty sleepless nights wondering about what else was out there. She eventually found a coaching program.
Her goal is to help woman stop doing what they don't love and start feeling energized by what they are doing every day.
For an hour Thursday, Mims answered career questions from WTOP.com readers.
Her advice ranged from how to prepare for a job interview and how to find your true calling.
To determine what your true calling may be, Mims recommends taking a piece of paper and writing "My Life Purpose Is:"
"Spend 20 minutes answering that question until you start to cry. That will give you some insight. When you have a reaction that makes you cry, you're on to something," she says.
To prepare for an interview, Mims had several steps to follow for interviewees.
She recommends doing research on the company and the job; going to the website and taking a look at the language that they use so that you can use similar language during the interview process; study the company's strategy and mission and develop some questions about what interests you in the company.
Other topics Mims talks about during the live chat are balancing family and work, negotiating a salary and getting excited about a job again.

The Tra Vigne Cookbook
by Michael Chiarello
No current Talk conversations about this book.
No reviews
References to this work on external resources.
Wikipedia in English
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0811819868, Hardcover)"The closer your cooking stays to the seasons, the simpler--and better--your cooking will be." Michael Chiarello's mom told him that as he stood beside her at the stove, learning what a real Italian tomato sauce looks, smells, and sounds like as it cooks. Those lessons led him into the chef's life and his own restaurant in the heart of California's wine country, Tra Vigne. So it should come as no surprise that the subtitle of his lush cookbook, The Tra Vigne Cookbook is Seasons in the California Wine Country. And such is the organizing principle. Not only are the sections of the book divided into the four seasons, but the subsets include four ingredients key to each season: asparagus or garlic in spring, for example, or mushrooms and eggplant in fall.
Chiarello describes his own cooking style as "combining spectacular ingredients, professional technique, and imaginative presentations." He shows how to take this into your own home kitchen, in word and technique. A lot of the exceptional flavors he is able to muster come from the flavor enhancers he has put up in his pantry through the seasons--the flavored olives, the dried figs. To read his section on the pantry is to yearn for a dark, cool basement. "Take the time when you have it in order to reap the rewards later when you don't," Chiarello encourages.
The Tra Vigne Cookbook is a carefully layered dish of family reminiscence, tech tips, master recipes, and heartfelt yearnings for the seasons and the way they pass outside the windows of a country restaurant, the way they feel on the skin, the way they taste and smell. It's about attitude. Chiarello grabs it all and makes it accessible. The Tra Vigne Cookbook is a large-format, elegant book you will want to leave open on the table to flip through. Let your attention get caught up in it and carried away. Chiarello stays with the seasons, and his accomplishment is simpler and better as a result. And therein lies a world of glorious, flavorful complexity. --Schuyler Ingle

Rebuild A Jeep In Under Four Minutes - Watch more Funny Videos
That was cool.
I wonder where that was? They looked Canadian maybe.
Found it. They are Canadian. Shot in Halifax.
Except everything id on hand tight. There is no transfer case and the body is just sitting on the frame. I'd like to see them take a barn find CJ and see how long it really takes them.
I sure wouldn't trust it to stay together on the Rubicon!
It would probably fall apart on the drive up Ice House.
Some random Willys pics.
Nice Can you show us more? Is it yours? Tell us about it if so.
I don't know if I should admit this here, but I think I love jeeps more than bikes.
I finally set the body back on the frame of my '46 CJ2A-I had to cut the whole floor out of it, and weld in a new replacement. Now I have to spot and drill all the body bolts, but at least it's progress.
I second this request.
I thought this was gonna be a thread about telecommuting.
Granny Gear.....
this is like what was given to me by the neighbor lady after I packed her up to move from Anchorage to BC, Canada. Got my first stink finger in one like this.
Was also the first engine I rebuilt, old F head.
Great. Just what I need. Another thread on ADV about cool shit that I really dig.
I got it bad for an older Willys pickup. I admire the older powertrains, but they just won't cut it for "real world" driving on the highway. I'd like (someday) to get a recoverable derelict and throw a Toyota Tundra or Nissan Titan driveline under it.
This might sound odd... but how are they do drive for taller guys? I figure there's plenty of headroom, but how's the leg room?
The ghosts at the old Toledo Parkway plant are stirring and they are not happy.
x2 I would love to have this and make it into an surf fishing/solo rv beach wagon.
<>< Fish
Ok, with Dorkpunch and "Bought Grandpa's" truck, I felt i should make an attempt on getting my Willys running. Well, actually, it does sorta run, but it sure don't stop. So out with the old and in with the new.

The William Woods University Lady Owls softball team will be trekking north for its appearance in the NAIA Opening Round.
William Woods learned Tuesday night it will be heading to Grand Rapids, Michigan, and will be the No. 2 seed in the Davenport bracket. The Lady Owls (39-15) will face host and No. 3 seed Davenport University (36-8) at noon Monday in the first-round of the double-elimination format.
In the second game at 2 p.m., fourth-ranked and top-seeded Olivet Nazarene (Ill.) (46-3-1) will meet No. 4 seed Huntington (Ind.) (31-21).
William Woods — which moved up a spot to No. 19 earlier this week in the NAIA's final regular-season poll — received the American Midwest Conference's automatic bid to the national tournament after winning the regular-season title. The Lady Owls, winners of 13 in a row and 22 of their last 23, followed that up by capturing their second straight conference tournament championship.
Davenport received an automatic bid to the national tournament by winning the Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference's regular-season and conference tournament titles.
Meanwhile, William Woods senior MacKenzie Bowden was named both the NAIA and AMC pitcher of the week Tuesday. Bowden earned the double honor for the second time in less than a month, after being selected for both on April 8.
Bowden (20-7) was singled out this time when she was named AMC pitcher of the year while helping direct the Lady Owls to the conference tournament championship. She went 2-0 in the tournament with one save, a sparse 0.84 ERA and a remarkable 23 strikeouts in just 16 2/3 innings.

Group Descriptions
Groups meet weekly. For more information about a group or to arrange a group orientation, please contact CAPS at (765) 494-6995.
Confidentiality is fully discussed in all groups.
Understanding Self and Others (USO) Therapy Groups
Our general therapy groups are named Understanding Self and Others primarily because they are designed for students who wish to increase self-understanding, self-esteem, and intimacy in relationships, as well as address their interpersonal style and relationship-building skills. Group members come together with others who are also struggling with something about themselves or life with which they are not happy. The group provides a private, warm and supportive environment in which you can constructively experiment with new ways of relating to others, share personal experiences, express fears and concerns, and get support and feedback. A one-time group orientation is required for group membership and is usually scheduled one-half hour before the start of your first group meeting or other convenient time that fits your schedule. Groups can be joined at any time in the semester.
Graduate Student Groups
Graduate students entering these Understanding Self and Others graduate groups will have the opportunity to explore personal issues and dynamics that are affecting their personal life, performance, and well-being while at Purdue. Group members will support each other around graduate school and interpersonal concerns and will explore and process how their interpersonal styles are related to their grad school experiences and life in general. The dynamic interactional patterns that occur within the group will be discussed and processed for the therapeutic benefit of group members. A one time group orientation for new members is required for group membership.
Skills Group for Disordered Eating
The Skills Group for Disordered Eating is a group is for students experiencing difficulties with eating behaviors, particularly with binging behaviors, as well difficulties regulating emotions. This is a structured group that provides skills to help tolerate distress, regulate emotion, and manage eating behaviors in a healthful and thoughtful manner. Members will also gain insight into the thoughts, emotions, and behaviors associated with eating disorders and body image issues. The goal of the group is not focused on weight loss but rather cultivating thoughtful eating behaviors. A one-time group orientation is required for group membership as well as concurrent individual therapy in most cases.
Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills Group
The Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Skills Group is for students whose coping skills are no longer working, resulting in their having difficulty controlling emotions and experiencing chaotic friendships and relationships. Students will learn a variety of skills to help control where they focus their attention, understand and reduce painful emotions, navigate relationships successfully, and tolerate distress in a skillful way. One-time group orientation and concurrent individual therapy are required for group membership.
Substance Recovery Group
This group is recommended for students who are actively seeking change regarding their substance use. This is not a 12-step program but may help with recovery maintenance for students who have completed an intensive outpatient program. Students will be asked to complete an AOD evaluation at no charge prior to entry into the group to assess readiness for group and at minimum are asked to attend a 30 minute orientation meeting with the co-facilitators. The substance recovery group is offered based upon student population needs. This group cannot substitute for University or legally mandated treatment.
Support Groups
The Quick Start group is a great place for students to learn some basic coping skills that will help them better manage their emotions and their relationships. There are five topics for these groups that will rotate throughout the semester, thus allowing students to enter the group at any time and then complete the whole five session series. The main topics include: Mindfulness, Mind-Body Connection, You Are What You Think, Healthy Relationships, and Personal Empowerment. Each group has a topic and assigned activities though there is flexibility to allow for processing experiences, difficulties, and questions regarding these topics.
The Thrive Hour is a highly experiential venue for self-care and empowerment. Its primary purpose is to help you take care of yourself, let go of your stress, and enable you to get in touch with your inner strength and resources. Every session begins and ends with a Mindfulness activity designed to draw your attention to the present moment, allowing you to calm your mind and body and relieve your current stress. Each session will focus on a resiliency strategy that will assist you in cultivating a positive sense of self. Through the use of TED talks, group discussion, and didactic learning, we will help you identify your resiliency and strengths, and offer you alternatives that can change your mindset and your overall sense of well-being.
The OCD Support group is a chance to talk openly about obsessive worry (germs, safety, scary thoughts) and compulsive behaviors (checking, cleaning, asking for reassurance). The group is an opportunity to do exposure to feared thoughts and situations in a supportive environment. This group meets every other Tuesday evening.
This is a confidential and supportive group for international students to explore and discuss various multicultural issues. Numerous topics may be discussed, including but not limited to, acculturation, adapting to a new educational system, coping with being away from family and friends, or breaking down language and cultural barriers.
This group experience is designed to promote growth and independence by helping students with ADHD overcome the performance and self-management difficulties inherent in ADHD through the development of more effective habits and routines. Members will identify goals and track their progress throughout the semester. Orientation to the group is required prior to your first group meeting.
GAME (Group of ASDs Making Experiences)
We get together so that you, college students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) or those with similar tendencies, can have a safe space to discuss and understand your experiences while at Purdue. In this group you will meet people who "get" you and who will provide honest feedback and genuine support. You will also have opportunities to try out and to practice social skills and to build friendships with fellow group members. What you learn here you can take to your everyday life outside of group. The activities and discussions will center on specific themes that come up regularly in college life. Another goal is for group members to have fun, positive social experiences with leaders and other group members that will build confidence.
The Anxiety Solutions group is a psycho-educational experience designed to develop your understanding of and skill at managing anxiety and panic. Explore the seven levels of contributing causes of anxiety and panic. Practical techniques, such as relaxation, thought stopping, coping, positive self-talk, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, action planning, creative visualization, and mindfulness will be covered during the semester. Students are referred to the group from their initial contact with CAPS, the Disposition Team, or a CAPS clinician.
Mandarin Speaking International Student Support Group
This is an opportunity for Mandarin speaking international students to talk about your struggles and concerns regarding your adjustment to life and school at Purdue/ in the U.S. In this group, members help each other by sharing experiences and providing feedback and the professional staff from Counseling and Psychological Services will facilitate the discussion and provide resources and information when needed.
Meditation Hour
The meditation hour is drop-in group that meets once a week to focus on building relaxation and meditation skills. Through discussion and practice students will leave the hour feeling calmer, more relaxed and ready to take on the day!

Ministry of Water and Environmental Affairs and SANParks Board saddened by the loss of lives in the KNP
Date: 2013-04-02
1 April 2013 - The Minister and the Deputy Minister of Water and Environmental Affairs, Ms Edna Molewa and Ms Rejoice Mabudafhasi together with the South African National Parks (SANParks) Board, have expressed their heartfelt condolences to the families, the Ministry of Defence and colleagues of the five people killed in a helicopter crash in the Kruger National Park on Saturday.
The Ministry and SANParks Board are saddened that the pilot and crew of the South African Air Force Agusta A109 light utility helicopter were killed during a routine air patrol during the anti-poaching operation named Operation Rhino on Saturday night. This operation is aimed at stemming the scourge of rhino poaching in South Africa.
Of the 188 rhino poached in South Africa as of last week, 135 had been killed in the Kruger National Park since January. The KNP remains the hardest hit by the scourge of poaching of these iconic animals having lost 425 rhino to poachers during 2012.
The Ministry and SANParks Board support the SA Air Force in determining the sequence of events that led to the fatal crash of the helicopter. We hope this sad event will not deter our men and women working tirelessly to protect our country's rhino population against the on-going scourge of poaching by marauding bandits.

Assistant Secretary, Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs
Good afternoon, my name is David Johnson. I am the Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, known as "INL." While I have worldwide responsibilities to oversee our rule of law and counternarcotics foreign assistance programs, I spend a great deal of time working on Afghanistan. As you know better than I, the success of the Afghan private sector economy will be a key indicator of how well we are doing in advancing the rule of law in Afghanistan. This conference comes at a critical time in our efforts to help the Afghan central government develop modern institutions and provide tangible services and protection to Afghans both within and outside of Kabul and other major cities.
Before I get started, I want to extend my thanks to the Afghan-American Chamber of Commerce (AACC) Chair Mr. Sulaiman Lutfi as well as the AACC President Don Ritter, for inviting me to speak to you today. I'm also honored to be in the company of Minister of Commerce Ahadi and Governor Fitrat of the Afghan Central Bank to discuss issues that are of great importance to Afghanistan.
For many years INL has operated police training and rule of law missions in Latin America, the Balkans, Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Of course, soon after the U.S. became involved in Afghanistan, INL began to play a critical role in training not only police, but prosecutors, judges, defense attorneys, and corrections officers. With U.S. congressional support, we have provided financial assistance, subject matter assistance, and equipment and infrastructure, to support the development of the rule of law and to help Afghan institutions that have been undone by 30 years of violence begin to right themselves.
INL has been able to meet such a diverse set of challenges around the world, because we base all of our programs on three things: 1) Local Government support; 2) Subject Matter Expertise; and 3) Successful Partnerships.
- Local Government Buy-in: We always consider local support for our efforts a pre-condition for effective implementation. Where possible, we bring in qualified local national staff to work on our programs, not just as interpreters and translators, but as experts on legal issues, cultural boundaries and local government capacity. For example, our Afghan justice assistance program has almost twice the number of Afghan legal advisors as U.S. advisors. This not only builds capacity within our own staff that will stay as we build our rule-of-law programs, it also builds programs that are more effective and more likely to be culturally and politically accepted.
- Expertise: The State Department has the lead role in providing U.S. foreign assistance to other countries and is highly qualified to work in unsettled areas. However, we have a limited number of attorneys, corrections officers, and former police chiefs in our ranks. For that reason, INL has sought out rule of law professionals, including former prison administrators, prosecutors, police officers, lawyers, and international rule of law experts to serve as U.S. Government advisors both to our Washington staff and in embassies around the world. For example, at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, INL has a large contingent of former prosecutors, international rule of law experts, corrections officers and police officials to advise the U.S. Ambassador and his staff and to interact directly with Afghan government officials.
- Partnerships: Even though INL has a sizable budget and a lot of in-house expertise, we are not equipped with in-house talent to undertake every mission. For that reason we endeavor wherever possible to develop partnerships with other donors, foreign governments, and other U.S. agencies to develop the most effective programs possible. This is sometimes called the "whole of government approach." In Afghanistan, INL works with all of our Coalition partners on a broad range of issues related to supporting Afghan economic and political reconstruction. In the last year, INL has partnered with the Italian Carabinieri, the German police training mission, and the French national police, among others, to provide tangible assistance to the Afghan justice sector. A recent example of such a partnership is the Afghan Judicial Security Unit, a new organization charged with protecting judges and court officials in Afghanistan. In this partnership, the U.S. military constructed a headquarters for the unit; the U.S. Marshals are working with the unit's captain to structure and grow the organization; the French provide close protection training for the unit's senior officers; and INL provides basic training, operational support, equipment, and ultimately an advanced training program for the unit. By the end of the year, there will be 700 trained and equipped Judicial Security Officers in Kabul charged with protecting judges and court officials involved in anti-corruption, narcotics, and other major crimes cases. We also have another 700 in training to protect judicial officials in Kandahar, Jalalabad and other critical regions in Afghanistan.
Applying these precepts to Afghanistan and making dramatic adjustments to fit local challenges and circumstances, security being chief among them, we have had some significant successes that give us hope that we are on the rod, though perhaps a long one, of restoring a sustainable rule of law system. Some of those successes include:
Training more than 5,000 justice professionals and 3,000 corrections officers not only in Kabul but throughout Afghanistan; by the end of the year we expect to have conducted courses in all 34 provinces in Afghanistan.
The construction of the Counter Narcotics Justice Center, a model court for Afghanistan and a key tool for the Government of Afghanistan to prosecute drug traffickers and corrupt officials. This court handled about 900 cases last year, about 150 of which involved government officials.
- Working with the Attorney General and the Ministry of Interior to establish the Major Crimes Task Force and an anti-corruption tribunal which, despite recent setbacks, has still indicted over 100 cases and has many more under investigation.
But we have also been involved in a lot of smaller programs that may in the long run mean even more to Afghanistan's future:
In partnership with Stanford University, we are supporting the drafting of a modern Afghan legal curriculum in English, Dari and Pashto that's being used at the American University of Afghanistan.
INL mentors have developed and are currently implementing a case management system that, for the first time, gives prosecutors, judges, police, and defense attorneys full access to records and files for cases, increasing transparency throughout the criminal justice system. This has already resulted in more than a 100 people being released from Pol-i-Charkhi prison who had finished their sentences, and many more getting their cases back on track.
Last year, in partnership with the University of Washington, we sponsored the first Moot Court competition in the history of Afghanistan. The winning team, despite living through an IED attack on their hotel in Kabul during the national competition, traveled to Washington for the international finals, won multiple rounds, and was awarded the "Spirit of Jessup award."
- We are currently in the process of awarding $20 million in grants to international and Afghan NGOs to work on rule of law and gender justice efforts in Afghanistan, focusing on, among other things, expanding the presence of legal aid and private defense services throughout Afghanistan.
While these are good first steps, we recognize that more must be done. Over the next year, we will be working to establish legal aid clinics throughout Afghanistan to help provide all Afghans representation in court; we are in the process of establishing legal proceedings for high level national security cases, so that Afghanistan has the tools to put its enemies in jail; and we are working with the courts, prosecutors, and police to root out the corruption that erodes the Afghan judicial system.
Because I am speaking to a business community, you are likely more aware than anyone of what an impediment corruption is to development. Corruption is not just a resource problem. We can't just throw more money at this to fix it -- in fact, that may make it worse! There are some areas, such as raising salaries to a livable wage, where additional financial support is required. But the majority of the work in the justice sector is helping to build a system transparent enough to make corruption difficult, that provides punishments significant and certain enough to make corruption risky, and to build a system so that those punishments are consistently enforced by the Afghan Government.
We have a long way to go, but by working with Afghan government officials as partners, bringing significant subject matter expertise to the table to develop sound, sustainable programs, and developing strong partnerships between U.S. agencies, and between the U.S. and the international community, we will be able substantially to reduce corruption and improve the rule of law over the next few years.
It has been a great pleasure being with you today and I want to close with a final thought. Without international efforts to help create a system to provide the average Afghan citizen with justice and protect the rights of Afghan entrepreneurs to conduct business, our other endeavors in Afghanistan will not prosper. The task before us is not easy, but it is necessary, and I want to commend all of who have devoted your time and talents and your optimism to this noble goal.

Hi puys ,
i would like to mention some things here friends that i have come across.As an aspirant for dec.09 i think time for curriculum is insufficient , but you would be amazed to know that if you start with it , scheweser would find a back seat.yes i mean it .
myth : Scweser is too vast.
For every topic there are too many helping examples , too many exhibits.etc.If a person is able to grasp the concept no need to read examples .
Also if you see the last 20% of material includes solutions to problems .
So i think curriculum is the best way to study.
Next comes learning.When a person wants to do CFA , he means L1,L2 and L3 . but if you read notes for L1 for me L2 would be almost a hurculean task difficult to crack in six months.ie june 10.
let me cite an examp.here :
if you read notes on equity i tell you its very casual.Even you wont know modus operendi of software systems.ie The lag between u put ur order through and execution of the order.May be one would argue as most of the ppl on pg say notes are sufficient and it wont be so much tough an exam it being L1 only . i think thats exactly why they find L2 a toughie.
Lastly it is not easy to stay with the material that you cant relate to real world when i came across probability in quant it was amazing , nothing to do with Cards, no dices nothing , its only how is it used in Portfolio management .Now if you see schweser notes they are obsessed with dice and cards etc.In sum Curri.sustains the interest of the reader if you wish to read for 2hrs you will end up atleast half hr more and not less.
This all is my personal opinion , might attract some or infuriate some.
I've myself not completed all study sessions.Just done with quant , economics , Half of equity and half of FSA , still too much of curriculum to finish but i love the curriculum way.
Thats all.thank all
hi ,
i registered for dec.1 in first week of aug from pune. with hsbc card.Went thru with a lightening speed and got the material in 3 working days thru upsc..van.I had purchased schweser material and culci.TIBA pro. for 2950 in bombay some area in matunga.it is perfect to use.Also i came across on pg some puys who sail in the same boat and had a little short meeting in deccan side.
Hi,Guys from today count me in as a serious cfa aspirant about the registration waiting for the dollar-rs balance turn favourable as it could turn so post elections as per most of the forex managers.
now initiative taken by puys to discuss on google is praiseworthy but i have missed economics . any i am starting prep from now on.
Hi puys,
strange that there is not much action in this thread but anyways
i got my schweser notes from mum.yesterday.
have started with the ethics part already. if any one wants to form group in pune most welcome . had a look at the material it is interesting chi square , z-test,T-test, all force me go down my memory lane. anyways CFA is worth.
Biggest reward for job is job done itself.Hope this peps up.Bye Bye.
centre. renuka school
Tilak road
all puys yes we can god bless u and may god bless pg.
bye bye
moi scores pathetic again .no improvement again.
Di.. 12.33
hello puys , after a lon time positing a question , this one from arun sharma

SANDUSKY, Ohio -- Thousands of military veterans' headstones and cemetery plots are being refurbished in a massive cleanup effort at a cemetery in northwestern Ohio.
Broken, cracked and aging headstones at the Ohio Veterans Home cemetery in Sandusky began getting fixed or replaced earlier this month with nearly $800,000 from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
The operations assistant for the home says he has been told that the Sandusky facility is the first veterans' home to receive that type of grant.
The Sandusky Register reports that the project will spruce up all 4,200 headstones and plots at the cemetery.
Many of the stones have become blackened, broken or barely readable over time. Some stones date back to the early 1800s.

This time I've been up at Kings Park where there is a great view over the city and I managed to get some photos at sunset and twilight.
I also tried my hand at a moon shot. This photo was taken about 3 days before the full moon, but I'm told that the night before the full moon is the best time to take photos. Yesterday was spectacular but alas I was stuck at work and tonight is the full moon and its already way too dark and the moon isn't even up yet! Oh well, I'm reliably told by my brother that the craters will look more impressive when it's a half moon, so I shall give it another go then.

text: Just back from the annual WI trip.. We noticed that transitioning from a somewhat choppy (expansion joints, patches, etc) pavement to a fresh smooth pavement would increase our speed at least 3 mph, and more if we were in an aggressive pace line. I think this will increase my inclination toward larger tires on my light touring build (up to 700x32 or 35). Smoothing out the small but harsh bumps does seem to increase speed/efficiency. One of the other riders is leaning toward even bigger tires. (I was riding a Lemond BA with 700x25 this year.)

16 Month Olds Attachment to Mommy
I am a stay at home mom so my 15m daughter and I spend EVERY waking moment together!! She is a very happy and energetic toddler, but I can not get anything done!!! I can't wash dishes, laundry, cook, and forget vacuuming!! My husband comes home very frustrated because he has just worked 18+ hours and the house is trashed! Some days I haven't even had a chance to make dinner for him and I (I cook separate meals due to sever food allergies in my daughter). I just need to figure out a way for her to play for even a few minutes while I do the dishes or clean the bathroom or throw a load of laundry in. If I leave her and let her just cry, when I do come back, literally less than 2 min later, she clings to my legs so hard that I actually have trouble prying her off so I can pick her up! our house, the kitchen and living room is one big great room, so she can still see me, and I still have the same problem! HELP!!!

They work through intercessory prayer, pre-evangelism English classes and outreaches, Bible studies, literature distribution and relationship evangelism.
Steve and Kelly are a great inspiration to New Life as they persevere in ministry in areas that are very resistant to the gospel message. In spite of the challenges they face, Steve and Kelly always tell of the goodness and grace of God who is at work in the hearts of the Japanese people.

author\'s reason hilarious: \"I made it because music in SWBF2 is not very good.\" I would humbly submit that this is objectively wrong, and it is made all the funnier by the change in music - it changes from the militaristic Imperial March to the love theme from Attack of the Clones. Don\'t get me wrong, I like both pieces of music, but the one it\'s changed to is hilariously inappropriate thematically. Good-natured ribbing aside, if you\'re looking for a change of pace to your menu music, feel free to give this file a try - just make sure that you back up your original files. -Mav

Marie's Home
By Caroline Austin
Salem Ridge Press
4263 Salem Drive
Emmaus, PA 18049
Marie's Home
is a 199-page softbound novel about the French Revolution. It was originally published in 1885 and was republished in 2006 by Daniel Mills, a homeschool graduate who learned to appreciate historical fiction as a teenager. In this book, an 11-year-old English girl is given a diary written by her great-grandmother. In it she reads a first-hand account of the days of the French Revolution. In the publisher's note we read, "For us the French Revolution happened in the distant past, but when
Marie's Home
was written, less than 100 years had elapsed since the Revolution. By having a present-day girl receive her great-grandmother's journal, the author, Caroline Austin, connected momentous events of the past with the lives of her readers. This also serves as a reminder to us that history happened to real people, people that are part of our own family's story, even though they lived a long time ago."
The back cover says this book is for ages ten to adult. If read aloud, it could be enjoyed by younger children too. Of particular interest to homeschool families is the fact that one of the secondary characters in the book, Marie's younger brother, is homeschooled during part of the story. His studies include Greek, Latin, mathematics, horseback riding, fencing, drawing, and French. Sounds fun!
Marie and her family exemplify Christian faith and values. Though they are members of the upper class, they step out of their comfortable surroundings to help those in need. And when they face danger, hardship, and disappointment, their faith in God gives them hope. The text contains some excellent lessons. Here is a gem of a quote from Marie's father on the subject of love: "We may love as deeply as we please, but we must not make a prisoner of our love. There is all the difference in the world between loving for our own sakes and loving for the sake of those we love. The first kind is of earth, the second of heaven."
Marie's Home
is very much a girl's book, though boys may like it, too. If you like to enhance your history studies with historical fiction, this is one to strongly consider.
