Small Business Investment Companies-Early Stage SBICs
Call For Early Stage Fund Managers.
This Call invites experienced early stage fund managers to submit the preliminary materials discussed in Section II, in the form of the Small Business Investment Company ("SBIC") Management Assessment Questionnaire ("MAQ"), for consideration by the Small Business Administration ("SBA") to be licensed as Early Stage Small Business Investment Companies. Licensed Early Stage SBICs may receive SBA-guaranteed debenture leverage of up to 100 percent of their Regulatory Capital, up to a maximum of $50 million. Early Stage SBICs must invest at least 50% of their investment dollars in early stage small businesses. For the purposes of this initiative, an "early stage" business is one that has never achieved positive cash flow from operations in any fiscal year. By licensing and providing SBA guaranteed leverage to Early Stage SBICs, SBA seeks to expand entrepreneurs' access to capital and encourage innovation as part of President Obama's Start-Up America Initiative launched on January 31, 2011. More information on the Early Stage SBIC Initiative and the regulations governing these SBICs may be found at www.sba.gov/inv/earlystage.
In order to expedite licensing of qualified applicants that have already raised the required capital, SBA has established two "tracks" for the Early Stage SBIC Licensing Process as follows:
▸ Track 1—Applicants with Capital: This includes all applicants that have signed commitments for at least $15 million in Regulatory Capital and the remaining capital needed to achieve the minimum $20 million in Regulatory Capital for Early Stage SBICs "soft-circled." (This may include drop-down funds.) Track 1 applicants that receive a Green Light letter will need signed commitments of at least $20 million in Regulatory Capital when they file their Licensing Application on or before June 7, 2013. SBA will accept a commitment that is conditioned upon issuance of an Early Stage SBIC license and/or approval of the applicant's organizational documents, but will not accept a commitment that is subject to any other conditions.
▸ Track 2—All Other Applicants.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Back to Top
I. Background Information Back to Top
SBA invites early stage fund managers to submit the preliminary materials, as discussed in Section II, in the form of a Management Assessment Questionnaire ("MAQ") for the formation and management of an Early Stage SBIC. In 2011, SBA introduced the Early Stage Initiative. Early Stage SBICs represent a new sub-category of SBICs that will focus on making investments in early stage small businesses. Go to www.sba.gov/inv/earlystage for information on the Early Stage Initiative and links to the Early Stage SBIC Final Rule ("Final Rule"). This initiative is part of President Obama's "Start-Up America Initiative" to promote American innovation and job creation by encouraging private sector investment in job-creating startups and small firms, accelerating research, and addressing barriers to success for entrepreneurs and small businesses.
II. Management Assessment Questionnaire/License Application Materials Back to Top
The first required submission in the Early Stage Licensing process is SBA's MAQ. The MAQ consists of two forms that cover qualitative and quantitative information on the management team, the proposed strategy for the SBIC, the principals' investment track record, and the proposed fund structure and economics. The MAQ consists of SBA Form 2181 and the exhibits in SBA Form 2183.
If you are a Track 1 applicant and you are invited to be interviewed (see paragraph III.B.2), you will be required to bring to the interview a completed Exhibit N from SBA Form 2182, consisting of your financial forecast and a written narrative which identifies how you will manage SBA leverage as part of your business plan. Whether you choose discounted leverage or standard leverage with a 5 year interest reserve, each as described in the Final Rule, your plan must address how you will meet interest payments after 5 years from the date of debenture issue.
If SBA issues you a "Green Light letter" (described in paragraph III.B.5), you must submit the SBIC License Application, consisting of SBA Form 2181 (updated as needed) and SBA Form 2182, for the final licensing phase (paragraph III.D). Exhibit Q in SBA Form 2182 includes the fund's limited partnership agreement ("LPA"). Applicants should review Section IV of this notice for special instructions associated with the LPA for Early Stage SBICs.
To obtain a copy of the most recent versions of these forms, please send an email to email@example.com. Read only examples of these forms may be found at www.sba.gov/content/application-forms.
III. Early Stage Licensing Process Back to Top
There are four stages in SBA's Early Stage Licensing Process: (A) Call Period; (B) Initial Review; (C) Applicant Fundraising and Document Preparation; and (D) Licensing. Each of these stages is discussed below.
A. Call Period. This notice signals the start of the Fiscal Year 2013 Early Stage SBIC call period. SBA intends to hold no more than one Early Stage SBIC call period for accepting MAQs per fiscal year and SBA will issue a new notice in the Federal Register for the next call period. Interested parties should request a MAQ from SBA by emailing email@example.com. Please take time to read the instructions included with each form identified in Section II. You should also review the information at www.sba.gov/inv/earlystage which includes a list of frequently asked questions ("FAQs") regarding the Early Stage Initiative. If you still have questions regarding the Early Stage process, please email your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com. SBA will endeavor to respond to your question within three business days, depending on volume. SBA may not be able to respond to fund specific questions or questions that require a legal opinion.
B. Initial Review. At the end of the Initial Review phase, SBA will issue Green Light letters to those applicants it believes preliminarily meet the evaluation criteria for an Early Stage SBIC, including the vintage year and geographic diversification criteria. Section V of this notice describes the criteria by which SBA will evaluate applicants. The process for SBA's Initial Review is as follows:
1. Submit MAQ. SBA must receive your completed MAQ no later than the date and time specified under the Dates section of this notice. SBA will send a confirmation that it has received your MAQ within 3 business days of your submission. If you have not fully completed all sections of the MAQ or provided sufficient information to allow SBA to evaluate your management team, you may be ineligible for this call period. If so, SBA will notify you by email.
2. Pre-Screen. SBA will review all MAQs against the evaluation criteria identified in Section V. SBA may engage a contractor to assist in evaluating MAQs received in response to this Call. The Investment Committee (composed of senior managers from the Office of Investment) will consider each MAQ, and if the Investment Committee concludes that the management team may be qualified for an Early Stage SBIC license, the entire team will be invited to SBA Headquarters in Washington, DC for an interview. Those applicants not invited for interviews will be notified. Upon request, SBA will provide feedback to applicants not selected for an interview.
3. Interview Period. SBA's invitation for an interview will identify a 1 hour time block during the Interview Period identified in the Dates Section. SBA will conduct interviews at SBA Headquarters, at 409 Third Street SW., Washington, DC. At the interview, Track 1 applicants must bring their financial forecast as described under Section II of this notice. Track 1 applicants are also encouraged to bring the following completed exhibits from SBA Form 2182 to the Interview:
a. Exhibit B—Fingerprint cards and
b. Exhibit C—Statements of Personal History.
If a Track 1 applicant receives a Green Light letter, SBA will forward the fingerprint cards and Statements of Personal History to SBA's Office of Inspector General for processing by the FBI. (Note: applicants may wait until the licensing stage to submit these documents. However, you will not be able to draw SBA leverage until your FBI checks are complete.)
4. Due Diligence. SBA will conduct due diligence on all applicants that successfully pass the Interview process. SBA may be assisted in this process by a contractor engaged by SBA.
5. Green Light Letter. Following the interview, the SBA will issue a Green Light letter to all applicants that preliminarily meet the criteria identified in Section V, as preliminarily determined by the Investment Committee. Applicants approved by the Investment Committee can expect to receive the Green Light letter via email within a few days of the Investment Committee's decision. The Green Light letter formally invites an applicant to submit its application for an SBIC License. The Green Light letter is only an invitation to proceed to the next stage in the process, not a guarantee that you will be issued an Early Stage SBIC license. Those applicants that do not receive a Green Light letter will also be notified by email within a few days of the Investment Committee's decision. SBA will provide feedback upon request to those applicants that do not receive a Green Light letter.
C. Fundraising and Document Preparation. If you receive a Green Light letter and desire to be licensed this fiscal year (ends September 30, 2013), you must submit your completed license application by June 7, 2013 and abide by all the conditions in Section IV of this notice. All other recipients of a Green Light letter must submit their completed application within one year from the date of the Green Light letter.
1. Raise Regulatory Capital. All Early Stage SBIC applicants must have signed capital commitments for the minimum Regulatory Capital needed to execute their strategy, but no less than $20 million in Regulatory Capital prior to filing their license application.
2. SBIC Education. All principals of an Early Stage SBIC applicant that has received a Green Light letter must attend a one-day SBIC Regulations training class. This training is normally held several times per year in Washington, DC. The purpose of this class is to familiarize SBIC principals with the SBIC rules, regulations and compliance procedures. Classes are normally limited in size. Although an applicant may receive a license before all principals have completed the training, a majority of principals must do so before licensing and all must do so before a licensed Early Stage SBIC will be permitted to draw leverage. Information concerning registration for classes can be obtained at www.sbia.org. Certain non-principals such as members of a board of directors may also be required to take the class. In addition, any employees or consultants whom you have assigned to handle regulatory matters or to interact with the Office of Investment should attend the class.
3. Finalize Documents & Perform Checklist. The following items must be completed and submitted in order to proceed to the Licensing phase:
|Updated SBA Form 2181 (See Section II for more information.)
|SBA Form 2182 (See Section II for more information.)
|At least $20 million in Regulatory Capital evidenced by signed Capital Certificate in Form 2182 (Exhibit M)
|$25,000 Non-refundable licensing fee
D. Licensing. During this stage, SBA will review your completed application, perform further due diligence and analysis, and make the final licensing decision. If you filed under Track 1 and were issued a Green Light letter and wish to be licensed in Fiscal Year 2013, SBA must receive your completed license application no later than 5 p.m. ET on June 7, 2013. All other applications must be filed within one year of receipt of the Green Light Letter. In addition, you must follow all guidance identified in Section IV. The process for Licensing is detailed below.
1. Submit License application. To proceed to the Licensing stage, applicants that have received a Green Light letter will need to submit all items listed in the Checklist above to the address indicated in your Green Light Letter. Upon receipt of the application, SBA will acknowledge receipt by email. Within three business days, SBA will determine whether the application is complete, meets the minimum capital requirements and satisfies management ownership diversity requirements. If so, SBA will formally accept the application. Submission of a complete application by the June 7, 2013 deadline does not guarantee that an applicant will be licensed by September 30, 2013. SBA's goal is to license all Track 1 applicants before September 30, 2013. However, applications that do not follow the guidance in Section IV may require extended processing time.
2. Background and Documentation Review. Once the application has been formally accepted, SBA will forward the fingerprint cards and Statements of Personal History to SBA's Office of Inspector General for processing by the FBI if the applicant did not previously submit such information during or after the Interview. Following a review of the application and legal documents, SBA will provide the applicant with a "comment letter." Applicants must respond in writing to the comment letter, via mail, fax or email within 30 days after the date SBA sends the comment letter (or within one week in order to be licensed in Fiscal Year 2013). Applicants that do not address, to SBA's satisfaction, all of the comments contained in SBA's comment letter may experience a delay in their licensing cycle in order to provide SBA and the applicant with sufficient time to resolve outstanding issues. Through this process, SBA hopes to resolve all issues specified in SBA's comment letter as expeditiously as possible. Promptness and responsiveness in responding to SBA's comment letter are important.
3. Divisional Licensing Committee. Once the applicant has satisfactorily addressed all issues and SBA has completed its review and any due diligence, if necessary, and the Office of General Counsel has signed off on legal sufficiency of the application (including the final form of the organizational and other legal documents), the license application is presented to the Divisional Licensing Committee. This committee is composed of the senior managers of the Office of Investment. If approved by the Divisional Licensing Committee, the application is forwarded to the Agency Licensing Committee which is comprised of certain senior managers of the SBA. Prior to consideration by the Agency Licensing Committee, an applicant must provide a signed, up-to-date capital certificate showing that it has at least $2.5 million in Leverageable Capital, consisting of cash on deposit, approved pre-licensing investments as permitted by this Notice, and/or approved organizational and operational expenses paid out of partners' contributed capital, and at least $20 million in Regulatory Capital. The applicant's selected bank must certify that the requisite funds are in the applicant's account and unencumbered. An applicant must also submit a commitment request for the amount of leverage it is seeking.
4. Agency Licensing Committee and Administrator Approval. If the Agency Licensing Committee approves your license application, it will be forwarded to the SBA Administrator or her designee for final action as soon as you submit fully executed copies of all legal documents. (Please note that the executed documents must be identical to the "final form" of the documents approved by SBA.) If the Administrator or her designee approves your application, your Early Stage SBIC license is issued.
5. Leverage Commitments. SBA has allocated $200 million in Fiscal Year ("FY") 2013 for Early Stage SBICs. SBA expects to allocate another $200 million in each of FY 2014 and FY 2015, and $250 million in FY 2016. If total leverage commitments requested for the FY 2013 licensing cycle exceed the amount available in FY 2013, SBA will allocate available leverage across all FY 2013 Early Stage SBICs on a pro rata basis. Early Stage SBICs licensed in FY 2013 will be eligible to request the remainder of their uncommitted leverage request in subsequent fiscal years and will be given priority consideration as a fund with prior year leverage commitments. SBA expects to be able to commit the full amount of leverage that an Early Stage SBIC requests. However, those commitments may be approved in multiple years, depending on availability in each year. Early Stage SBICs that raise additional private capital after licensing may request leverage commitments against that capital. However, such requests are subject to leverage availability and will not be considered until all other licensee requests are satisfied.
IV. Early Stage SBIC LPA and Organizational Instructions Back to Top
A. Early Stage SBIC Model LPA. In order to expedite the review of Early Stage SBIC license applications, SBA has adopted a Model Early Stage SBIC Limited Partnership Agreement ("Model LPA") that incorporates in Bold Arial type those provisions required by SBA. You must download the Model LPA at www.sba.gov/content/earlystage-model-partnership-agreement. Applicants must use the Model LPA as a template and follow the organizational structure of the Model LPA. Further, Applicants must include in their limited partnership agreements all of those provisions of the Model LPA that appear in Bold Arial type in the Model LPA. Additions, deletions and other changes or modifications to any of those provisions of the Model LPA that appear in Bold Arial type will not be accepted. Applicants are required to submit a copy of their limited partnership agreement black-lined against the Model LPA, with all of the provisions of the Model LPA in Bold Arial type retained in Bold Arial type, as explained in the instructions provided at the beginning of the Model LPA. Deviations from the guidance in this Section IV will add time to the licensing process. SBA provides the following further guidance on limited partnership agreements:
1. SBA encourages applicants to adhere to the Model LPA to the maximum extent possible. All deviations from those provisions of the Model LPA that do not appear in Bold Arial type must be accompanied by a narrative explanation for those deviations. Please note that any deviations must have a substantive basis and may be deemed unacceptable by SBA.
2. There must be no conditions or restrictions on the ability of the general partner to call private capital commitments except under the "no fault termination of the investment period" or "key person" provisions included in the Model LPA.
3. Withdrawal rights are limited to those permitted by the Model LPA.
4. Applicants must adhere to SBA's management fee policies available at www.sba.gov/content/sbic-technotes-number-7a-revised-april-2008. This policy sets a maximum allowable management fee only. The actual management fee will be set by negotiation between the management team and the limited partners and may be less than the maximum. Early Stage SBIC applicants should be aware that the calculation of an SBIC's capital impairment percentage is affected by all fund expenses, including management fees. SBA will consider the management fee in its licensing evaluation criteria as part of fund economics. SBA believes that the primary incentive for fund managers should be carried interest rather than fees.
5. The designation of fund expenses and expenses to be paid out of the management fee must be consistent with SBIC program regulations (see 13 CFR § 107.520).
a. Organizational costs, expenses incurred in applying for a license and forming the SBIC and its entity general partner (but not its parent fund or any other affiliate), are considered a partnership expense. Organizational expenses typically include items such as the licensing fee, cost of legal and other professional and consulting services, travel and other fundraising expenses, costs of preparing, printing and distributing the private placement memorandum or other offering materials, and other related expenses such as telephone and supply costs. SBA strongly encourages applicants to include in the LP agreement a reasonable cap on the total organizational costs to be paid by the applicant. Costs deemed excessive can be paid by the general partner or management company or deducted from the applicant's Regulatory Capital prior to licensing.
b. Unreimbursed expenses on deals that do not close may be designated as a partnership expense but must be capped at a reasonable level.
6. Right of limited partners to remove general partner—Provisions allowing removal of the general partner without cause ("no-fault divorce" provisions) are permitted only after the Early Stage SBIC has repaid all outstanding leverage and any other amounts payable to SBA and has surrendered its SBIC license.
7. SBA will not consider amendments to an Early Stage SBIC's LPA for a minimum of six months after licensing.
B. Organization. Early Stage SBIC applicants must adhere to the following rules regarding organizational structure:
1. Applicant cannot be a BDC or other public entity or a subsidiary of any such entity.
2. All provisions governing the operation of the SBIC should be included in the limited partnership agreement to the maximum extent possible. Side letters may materially delay your processing time.
3. Applicant must adopt SBA Model Valuation Guidelines.
4. Drop-down SBICs
a. The drop-down structure should be used only when it has a clear business purpose:
i. Example 1—Parent fund has already raised capital and begun operating and wants to commit a portion of its capital to an Early Stage SBIC.
ii. Example 2—Substantial capital will be retained for investment at the parent level. (Managers might also consider the alternative of structuring a non-SBIC fund side by side with the SBIC.)
b. Drop-down funds must have one parent fund only and the parent fund must be a U.S. entity.
c. Parent must qualify as a traditional investment company based on established SBA precedent.
d. Parent must disclose the identity of all of its investors.
e. All of the investors in the parent fund (the SBIC's "Class A" limited partner) must agree to be "Class B" limited partners of the SBIC with an obligation to fund the Early Stage SBIC capital calls if the Class A limited partner does not. The obligation of the Class B limited partners to the Early Stage SBIC is reduced dollar for dollar as the Parent Fund contributes capital to the SBIC. The Model LPA contains required provisions for drop-down funds.
f. The Class B limited partners' commitments to the SBIC applicant must be expressed as a specific dollar amount (not just as the "proportionate share" of parent fund's commitment).
g. The total dollar amount of Class B commitments must be equal to the Class A limited partner's unfunded commitment to the SBIC. SBA will not require Class B commitments if the SBIC's Regulatory Capital will not include any unfunded commitments from the Class A limited partner.
C. Capitalization. Applicants must raise the minimum $20 million in Regulatory Capital by the time the license application is submitted.
1. Capital commitments from limited partners must be made directly to the SBIC (and its parent fund, in the case of a drop-down) with no intermediaries involved.
2. The Early Stage SBIC applicant must have the unconditional ability to legally enforce collection of each capital commitment.
3. Capital Certificate. Capital commitments must be documented in the capital certificate (Section M of SBA Form 2182) and comply with the following:
a. A signed Capital Certificate must be submitted with the license application.
b. The only permitted conditions on private capital commitments are:
i. Receipt of Early Stage SBIC license.
ii. Approval of limited partnership agreement.
c. Individual investors must list primary residence address, not a business address.
d. Street addresses are required (no P.O. Box addresses).
4. A dual commitment may be obtained to back up the commitment of any direct investor in the SBIC who is not an Institutional Investor.
5. Capital commitments by the principals, general partner, or their affiliates must be payable in cash when called (cannot be satisfied with notes or management fee waivers).
D. General Partner
1. All principals must:
a. Hold direct ownership interests in and be the direct individual managers of the general partner, with no intervening entities.
b. Receive carried interest directly from the general partner; for drop-down SBICs, carried interest may be received from the parent fund's general partner.
2. A maximum of 25% of the carried interest may be allocated to non-principals.
3. Any provision to remove or terminate a principal must be spelled out within the general partner's organizational document and must not be tied to events occurring under other agreements (e.g., a principal's employment agreement with the management company).
E. Investment Advisor ("Management Company"). Ownership of the Management Company that is highly disproportionate to the ownership of the general partner (e.g., one principal is the 100% owner) is not viewed favorably by SBA, but may be acceptable if there are adequate checks and balances on the powers of the dominant owner. Areas that cannot be subject to unilateral decision-making include the following:
1. Power to remove or terminate other principals.
2. Power to change the composition of the Early Stage SBIC's investment committee.
V. Early Stage SBIC Licensing Evaluation Criteria Back to Top
A. General Criteria. SBA will evaluate an Early Stage SBIC license applicant based on the submitted application materials, Investment Committee interview with the applicant's management team, and the results of background investigations, public record searches, and other due diligence conducted by SBA and other Federal agencies. SBA will evaluate an Early Stage SBIC license applicant based on the same factors applicable to other license applicants, as set forth in 13 CFR § 107.305, with particular emphasis on managers' skills and experience in evaluating and investing in early stage companies. As discussed in the Final Rule, evaluation criteria fall into four areas: (A) Management Team; (B) Track Record; (C) Proposed Investment Strategy; and (D) Organizational Structure and Fund Economics. You should review these regulations prior to completing your MAQ.
B. Managing SBA Leverage. SBA will pay particular attention to how a team's investment strategy works with proposed SBA leverage. Early Stage Debenture leverage either requires a 5 year interest and annual charge reserve from the date of issue or is structured with an original issue discount that covers the interest and annual charges for the first 5 years. In either case, Early Stage SBICs must identify how quarterly interest payments beginning in the 6th year from Debenture issue will be met. Sources of liquidity to make interest payments may include (a) private capital; (b) realizations; or (c) current income. As part of your plan of operations, you should carefully consider how your investment strategy will work with SBA leverage and make appropriate suggestions to manage risk. Risk mitigation strategies might include making some investments in current pay instruments; taking down less than a full tier of leverage, (i.e., leverage less than 100% of Regulatory Capital); taking leverage down later in the fund's life; lowering management expenses; and reserving more private capital. The strategies you choose to employ should be appropriate for your management team's track record and investment strategy.
C. SBA Diversification Rights. Per 13 CFR 107.320, SBA reserves the right to maintain diversification among Early Stage SBICs with respect to (i) the year in which they commence operations ("vintage year") and (ii) geographic location.
1. Vintage Year Diversification. Vintage year has a major impact on the return expectations of a fund and excessive concentration in a single year could substantially increase program risk. Therefore, SBA reserves the right, when licensing Early Stage SBICs, to maintain diversification across vintage years. SBA believes that it will be able to manage vintage year diversification through its call process. For example, if SBA approves a significant number of applicants in FY 2013, it may not hold a call in FY 2014. This will also help facilitate the allocation of early stage debenture leverage. As such, potential applicants should not assume that SBA will hold calls for new MAQs each year. SBA will announce all new calls through the Federal Register.
2. Geographic Diversification. All Early Stage SBICs must first meet SBA's basic licensing criteria. After those criteria are met, SBA reserves the right to maintain diversification among Early Stage SBICs with respect to the geographic location in which the Early Stage SBIC expects to invest.

2008 News Releases
Longwood Supervisor of the Year and Student Employee of the Year chosen
April 18, 2008
Patricia Payne of the Registrar's office was recently selected Supervisor of the Year for the second consecutive year in Longwood University's student employment program. Lisa Robinson, a senior from Sterling who works in Disability Support Services (DSS), is Student Employee of the Year.
Payne, who is among more than 70 Longwood employees who supervise student workers, is an education support specialist. She has worked at Longwood since September 1989, when she began as a temporary employee in the Human Resources office. She has worked full-time in the Registrar's office for about 16 years.

KABUL - Amid the ongoing national and international efforts to bring Taliban militants to negotiating table, Afghan observers show pessimism on the outlook of the government-initiated national reconciliation.
"No talks with Taliban will yield the desired outcome, it makes no difference whether the talks are held in Qatar, Paris, Japan or anywhere in the world," Afghan political analyst Faizullah Jalal told Xinhua on Wednesday.
He made this comment in the wake of reported negotiations between Afghan warring sides in Japan.
President Hamid Karzai during his stay in Tokyo revealed at a press conference that recently representatives of Taliban namely Qari Din Mohammad, of another militant group Hizb-e-Islami or the Islamic Party and of the government-backed High Council for Peace held meeting at Doshisha University in Kyoto city of Japan.
On Sunday, Karzai attended an international conference on Afghanistan in Tokyo where the world community pledged 16 billion U.S. dollars for the next four years to the militancy-plagued central Asian state.
The Afghan president at the press conference also said that Taliban representative Qari Din Mohammad expressed readiness to initiate peace talks with his government.
However, the Taliban in a sharp reaction rejected any talks with the government of Afghanistan as baseless.
In a statement posted Monday on the outfit's website, Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid utterly rebuffed any talks in Japan with the government, saying "there was a research conference at Doshisha University on June 27 where the delegation of Islamic Emirate (name of ousted Taliban regime) presented its viewpoints."
The Taliban statement also stated that the "delegation of the Islamic Emirate did not hold any talks with the delegation of Karzai administration and any report in this regard is baseless."
Jalal, also a professor at Kabul University, was of the view that the Taliban like in the past would not negotiate with the government.
Taliban fighters who had staged a violent comeback in 2006, years after their 2001 collapse under U.S.-led military campaign, have repeatedly rejected any peace talks offered by the government.
The hardliner outfit has conditioned such talks with the withdrawal of NATO-led troops from Afghanistan, saying there will be no dialogue with the government in the presence of foreign troops, a condition unacceptable to both Afghan administration and the military alliance.
"Taliban's adamant stance has proved in the past they do not believe in peace talks and so no peace efforts would deliver in future," Professor Jalal said.
Taliban militants fighting the government and 130,000-strong- NATO-led forces with some 90,000 Americans have often vowed to continue Jihad or holy war till the pullout of the foreign troops from Afghanistan.
"Achieving peace through dialogue in Afghanistan is a challenging practice. The peace efforts have been practising by successive regimes since 1980s but all in vain," observed Karimullah, a 65-year-old Afghan citizen.
"According to my experiences from the past three decades of conflicts, peace efforts in Afghanistan resembles snail pace to climb the Hindu Kush summit," said the old man, referring to the regional mountain Hindu Kush with Tirich Mir as its peak some 7, 700 meters above sea level.

CLOVIS -- Terra Nova junior Jeremy Wright burst upon the track and field scene about midway through this season. Saturday, he capped his season of emergence with a third-place finish in the 400 meters at the state finals at Buchanan High School with a time of 47.10 seconds.
"To be a junior, my first time at the state finals and make the podium, I'm happy,'' Wright said. "Getting third place was even better."
Wright opened some eyes with a 47.01 clocking at the Central Coast Section finals. He ran that race and also his race at the state finals in the same manner -- with a restrained first 200 and a very strong finish. On Saturday, he was well back over the first 200 and passed several runners down the final straightaway to finish third.
"I'm going to give it my best in the offseason to improve my strength," Wright said. "See if I can keep pace the first 200 and still get the fast leg turnover in the final 200."
His emergence has made an impression on many observers.
"He could be a real superstar," Mt. Pleasant coach Steve Nelson said.
Serra's Kyle Orloff placed fifth in the 400 in 47.53 and ninth in the 200 (21.82).
There was a crowd of 9,123 on hand Saturday and a two-day total of 16,372.
"I'm still in shock," Castro said. "I didn't want to overextend myself. I went back to my roots, to have fun. I drafted from the lead guy. I came in at 55 on the first lap and was in decent position.
"With 100 to go I was in seventh, so I told myself, 'let's go.' I wanted to finish in the top six at state, so I started picking it up."
Two high jumpers went over 6 feet, 10 inches.
Santa Teresa senior Daniel Onuoha was among the five others who cleared 6-8.
But he had the most misses of the five, so instead of tying for third he finished seventh.
Still, it was a remarkable season for someone whose best was 6-4 going into his senior season. Onuoha had his personal-best winning a CCS title at 6-9.
"Last year he was all over the place,'' Santa Teresa coach Scott Young said. "He put it all together this year.''
After winning CCS, Onuoha said his plans were to attend Sacramento State, strictly as a student. But after the word got out about going 6-9, Young received a call from Cal State Northridge, which was interested in Onuoha continuing his high jump career.
"I hope he changes his mind and continues jumping in college,'' Young said.
Branham's Zachary Nichols cleared 15-0 to place eighth in the pole vault.
Willow Glen's Luis Maciel threw the discus 160-7, placing 11th.

Flyers statement on Ilya Bryzgalov
Tuesday, 06.25.2013 / 12:29 PM ET / News
Philadelphia Flyers
"I met with Ilya this morning and informed him that we are going to exercise a compliance buyout of his contract. This was a very difficult business decision to make for us and we want to thank Ilya for his time here and wish him all the best moving forward."
* * *
Flyers Chairman Ed Snider issued the following statement with regards to goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov.
"I fully support Paul Holmgren in his decision to use our final compliance buyout for Ilya Bryzgalov. It was a very difficult decision from a financial standpoint, but if Bryz remained a Flyer, the dollars would be far greater in a shorter timeframe. We now have cap space, which will allow us to improve our team. In the meantime, Bryz can try to find a situation where he can achieve true happiness."

The Artemis Racing AC72 catamaran, an America's Cup entry from Sweden, lies capsized after flipping over during training in San Francisco Bay on Thursday, May 9, 2013, in San Francisco. / AP Photo/Noah Berger
Associated Press Release
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- The America's Cup sailor who perished in the San Francisco Bay after his team's space-age yacht capsized during a training run was an Olympic gold medalist from the United Kingdom.
Artemis Racing says Andrew "Bart" Simpson died Thursday after the capsized boat's platform trapped him underwater for about 10 minutes around 1 p.m. PDT.
Artemis says Simpson served as the Swedish team's strategist and had won one Olympic gold and one silver medal. Fire officials say he was 36.
Artemis says doctors "afloat" with the team and on shore couldn't revive Simpson after he was freed from the wreckage.

Roger secured his place in the second round of the Western & Southern Financial Group Masters in Cincinnati with a 7-6(3) 7-5 win over American James Blake.
The top seed took what proved to be a decisive 5-2 tie-break lead after both players held their serve during the first set.
Blake then broke in the second game of the next set and went 3-0 up before Roger supremo won the next three, breaking his opponent back in the fifth. Blake's chances collapsed as he conceded five consecutive points to lose serve before Federer served out the match at 40-30.
It was Roger's first match on the ATP Tour since his Wimbledon victory six weeks ago. «There is certainly still room for improvement and I know I can play better than that - but the performance was already sufficient for a victory in two sets.»
tu eres el mejor
I'm glade you're back, six weeks it's to much time to spend not seeing you play. I hope you'll go far on the tournament. Good Luck!!!

Joysia's Updates - October, 1999By Joysia/Jelaila
My purpose for sharing this update is to discuss the subject of implants. There has been much written on this subject and yet so little seems to be known. I would like to take this
opportunity to share our perspective as genetic engineers as well as the higher perspective on implants with you. As always, use your own discernment with this or any other channeled material.
As a genetics engineer and one responsible for creating physical vehicles through which you as souls can experience a physical incarnation, implants are critical in our work. We use implants to
anchor your life blueprint into your physical body. These implants contain all the lessons, patterns and events that you wanted to experience when you and your guides created your life
blueprint. We call these particular kind of implants your "blueprint implants."
As you go through your incarnation learning the lessons that you came to learn, these implants are restructured to reflect you new state of awareness or consciousness.
When you go through accelerated DNA recoding, your lessons come to you at a faster pace. As you clear these lessons, and we restructure your blueprint implants, your DNA changes as well.
You also gain new neural pathways that enable to hold and use your new behavior patterns which are the result of learning your lessons, and clearing their corresponding emotional blocks.
Yet as many of you know, blueprint implants aren't the only kind of implants you can have. There are those implants that you place in each other's etheric and emotional bodies when
you place a curse on someone or a vow on yourself. There are also the implants that you receive from alien races for monitoring purposes. These also affect your emotions. Some
implants are physical and are placed in your physical bodies, but in all cases there is a corresponding etheric implant. So removing just the physical implant will not clear it from you
From the higher perspective, we understand implants to be a neutral technology. It is what we do with them that makes the difference. Like money, they can be used to assist or to harm.
Yet we will tell you something that you may not be aware of. All implants, are programs. These programs can be changed by you as many of you have experienced with your life blueprint
implants. I say this because there are those who have indeed been given implants by others who wish to in some way control an aspect of their behavior. These implants use fears already in
the emotional body to maintain their programming. You can deactivate them by integrating the fear that keeps them working.
In closing I would like to add one more thing. In everything there is a value. This is also true of those implants you may have received from others. If this has happened to you,
please remember that you allowed it for the purpose of your own soul growth. To be able to deactivate one of these implants takes great courage and spiritual understanding. If you look at
your life blueprint, you will find the contract for the implant. No one else will be able to deactivate these implants for you without incurring headaches and other physical pain. Now is
the time to use your power. The days are over when others can do it for you.
No implant is beyond activation. If you desire guidance in determining the fears that are used to keep an implant activated, please call upon me. I will hear you. Implants are nothing to
fear, they are just technology like computers. Once you learn how to work with them, you will no longer be afraid.

PLANNING COMMISSION: Vice Chairman Allen Fidler reported on the Commission's 3/6/01 meeting. Township Traffic Engineer Jeff L'Amoreaux reported to the Commission about several traffic issues.

Mr. Lombardi asked the Board of Supervisors to appoint Frank Tyrol as Vice Chairman of the Committee.
Mr. Mendicino moved to appoint Frank Tyrol as Vice Chairman of the Sycamore Street Committee; the motion was seconded by Mr. Goodnoe and passed unanimously.
WORK SESSION 3/19/01: Mr. Mendicino announced that the Supervisors may be discussing Pheasant Run and Applebee's Restaurant at their next work session. He suggested that interested residents call the Township office on Friday or Monday to check on the agenda.

Alain Pinel Realtors is extremely pleased to be associated with Patricia Briscoe. An integral part of APRs dedication to excellence is the collaboration of high caliber professionals. Pat certainly fits that profile, having been a highly successful real estate agent for over thirty years.
Pat started her real estate career in San Francisco with Hill & Company in 1972. After a successful sales career as a broker associate, which included managing one of Hill & Company's offices, Pat and her husband Larry moved their young family to Atherton. In 1993, she joined Seville Properties and worked with Randy Eyler. After her children entered pre-school at St. Joseph's (Sacred Heart) in Atherton, Pat and Randy formed a partnership and joined Alain Pinel Realtors in 1997.
Pat offers a wealth of experience and expertise in the high-end residential real estate market, specializing in the communities of Atherton, Menlo Park, Woodside, Palo Alto and Portola Valley. At Alain Pinel Realtors, which has approximately 1,100 agents, Pat and her partner, Randy, rank in the top one percent of the firm in sales production. They were also ranked among the top 25 agents in the San Jose Business Journal of the top real estate agents in Silicon Valley as well as being ranked in the top 200 "teams" nationally.
"Real estate has been my career for 38 years. Many of my clients have become my friends. I enjoy working with first time buyers as much as I enjoy working with friends who are making lifestyle changes. I never forget that buying or selling a home is an emotional as well as a financial decision…..it is most likely the single largest asset for my client".
Pat and her husband, Larry, have two children. Their son, John, graduated from Menlo School and UCLA and is exploring a career in marketing/advertising. Katie graduated from Menlo School and USC and is working in venture capital in Menlo Park. She will be attending the Haas Business School in the Fall. "The years of raising children have been the most fulfilling times for my husband and me….we are thoroughly enjoying our twenty-something year-olds and taking a break from paying tuition!"

Davies Symphony Hall Add to iCalendar
It would be hard to find two composers more unlike each other than Mozart, the prodigious prodigy, and Bruckner, whom success eluded until he was 60. Fragments of Mozart's unfinished opera Zaïde were found after his death; thankfully these include the exquisite soprano aria, Ruhe sanft, meine holdes Leben. The premiere of Bruckner's grand Seventh Symphony earned a 15-minute ovation. Its plaintive adagio is a tribute to his idol Richard Wagner, who at their final meeting declared Bruckner the equal of Beethoven.
Katharine Hanrahan Open Rehearsal is a working rehearsal. The pieces rehearsed are at the conductor's discretion.

The Smart Way to Snack
When you start fishing in your pocket for change for the evil vending machine, stop! Most people feel the need of a "little something" now and then during a busy day, but taking a second to "snack smart" will save you time, calories, and even money.
"Food is so available," Laurie A. Higgins, MS, RD, a pediatric nutrition educator at the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, tells WebMD, "people don't take any with them and end up grabbing the fast, easy thing." This may be the worst, greasiest, sugariest, empty-calorie abomination on the face of the earth (OK, doughnut).
You know yourself, Higgins says, you know your age, weight, disease status (diabetes, low blood sugar), food allergies, whether you are pregnant or not. It's up to you to select the snack that fits both your individual needs and the occasion at hand. One size (and gooshy or crunchy mouth feel) does not fit all.
Simple Secrets to Portion Control and Healthy Eating
Snack With a Purpose
If you are a between-meals eater, look at your eating pattern, Roberta Larson Duyff, MS, RD, author of the American Dietetic Association's Complete Food and Nutrition Guide, tells WebMD. "It may be a snack -- for you -- is a fourth meal or a good way to get a nutrient you missed. Think of it that way."
What are some common snacking moments, and what might you use to fill them (and yourself)?
When you need a wake-up or energy jolt. It's smart to eat a small breakfast of carbs and protein (cereal, egg, milk), says Duyff. It's even OK for most people to have a sensible amount of coffee, she says. "Have a latte with milk; that way you get a protein hit," she says (a candy bar will not give you the boost you want, she notes). Higgins also advises having milk or protein foods such as peanuts or cottage cheese.
Before leaving the office for a meeting. If you don't know when lunch is coming and need to be on top of your game, a piece of fruit or chunk of cheese is good. "Some people, especially young people, eat lunch early, so morning snacks may not even be needed, Higgins says.
