Join Jim Stice for an in-depth discussion in this video Infamous business valuation stories, part of Finance Foundations: Business Valuation.
- Business valuation is not an exact science.…- Lots of things can go wrong.…- For example, sometimes data are hidden or distorted.…Other times data are just badly misinterpreted.…Finally, it's often the case that the future…just doesn't turn out according to the forecast.…Let's look at some famous examples…of each of these business valuation problems.…- You may have heard of Enron,…although the Enron debacle is getting far enough in the past…and it's fading in into historical memory.…- Briefly stated, Enron started out…as an energy trading firm,…matching sellers of energy and buyers of energy…and providing price insurance to each,…a perfectly fine business.…
- But, as is often the case with high-flying companies,…real growth just couldn't keep up with expected growth.…So Enron started using accounting tricks to conceal losses…in order to meet the profit expectations set by the market.…- At its peak, Enron had a total market value,…or market capitalization, of about 80 billion dollars.…This valuation was based on the data…

I haven't been in the back of a police car in a very long time, maybe five and a half years? I guess most people would not think that was a very long break from this kind of experience but it's all relative.
Relative, relatives…
No. There will be more than enough time for those thoughts all too soon.
We hit a red light and I slide further down my seat, feeling like a criminal even without handcuffs. People see what they expect to see, they don't ask questions; cops go in the front, crooks go in the back.
I glance up to see Officer Cruz smirking at me in the rear view mirror. Anger flares up but I decide to stare at my shoes and keep my mouth shut. I don't want to give him any excuses to lock me up.
Last time I took this lonely ride there were handcuffs and ankle restraints; I had been quite the handful. I wasn't such a good citizen of the streets back then, still had too much pride.
I don't remember the face so well, but I remember his words: You should all be rounded up and shot – you're all worthless.
I have blurred images in my mind of tackling him to the ground and punching his face until someone managed to drag me off. I do have several crystal clear pictures though: two broken teeth on the sidewalk; a white business shirt stained cherry red; the look of disgust on a young mother's face.
That little incident got me a month in jail and six months in rehab. The prison time had the bigger effect – never wanting to go back there was enough motivation to keep my anger and pride in check ever since.
And now here I am, one wrong word from going back.
We turn into the police station parking lot as a light rain begins to fall. Officer Cruz stops the car with a jolt that almost sends me head-first into the plastic barrier between us.
I catch a glimpse of his partner flashing him a dirty look before she climbs out and opens the door for me. I give her a quick nod of thanks and join her in the rain and the smell of wet leaves. The feeling of relief is immediate and overwhelming. I'm tempted to make a break for it.
Officer Cruz's arm on my elbow, guiding me into the station, ends that thinking in a heartbeat. The lobby is pretty quiet, the calm before the evening storm of drunks and addicts. A few heads turn as we pass through but nobody can be bothered to say anything.
The two cops bring me to a room filled with desks piled high with paperwork. A few officers are busy typing away at keyboards, one is yelling into his phone, the remaining desks are empty.
Officer Cruz helps me take a seat by a desk near the back of the room, none too gently. After a whispered conversation with his partner he sits down across from me. Damn it.
"I'll be taking your statement," he says with a flat stare. He pulls out the keyboard tray and logs into his computer while I try to find a believable excuse for needing to tell his partner my story. I don't even know her name but I've seen enough to know she would be more sympathetic than this guy. I'm pretty sure a rhino would be too, for that matter.
"I'll be over here if you need anything," she says and begins to turn away before pausing to put a hand on my shoulder. "I'm Officer Strickland by the way; don't worry, we'll get this all sorted out for you."
"Tina, please." I want to punch him so badly. I say nothing, busy myself with examining the floor tiles.
"Relax Rick, it'll do you some good," she says with a smile and slips away before he can reply. I look up to see him glaring at me, jaw muscles clenched.
This is not going to go well.

Good people of hawaii
Alice is an narsasistic idiot, But if anyone can track her Isp location down to a specific machine then you need to write topix as they will prosecute her/him/it.
I have written and receved a email from the topix customer service and they said they would press charges (based on insiting hate propaganda on their network threads, which is a clear violation of posting agreements). if we could locate her .
I would personanly rather just kick her azz should it turn out to be a dude and if it is female I'm sure I know a few of them who would enjoy it.

I thought I was alone in being "Frank's paper boy", and that what happened over the course of several months almost 18 years ago was an isolated incident. Sadly, the story as told - that of a sleeping 13-year boy being molested in the back of his van while awaiting delivery of the papers - is hauntingly identical to the experience I had with him.
I reported it to my parents and they took it up with the church - he was apparently disfellowshipped and prohibited from participating in the Boy Scouts of America program.
Over the past ten years as I've tried working through this issue, I considered several times, flying back to Hawaii to personally forgive him in order to help heal myself - as well as to help heal him and his family.
My parents, and the leadership of the church at the congregational level never took legal action. I have googled him from time to time to see what he's been up to and left it at that.
I've decided to speak out a little in hopes that others that are what I now call "Frank's paper boy" know they're not alone.

When we hear of crimes like this we all wish that when he is incarserated that he meets his maker through other prisoners. We hope secretly that he gets raped by Moke and his friends. Well on todays local news a inmate at Halawa met his maker by the hands of another prisoner. So it does happen. I don't know what the murderer or the murdered was in jail for, but prison is really not the place to be if you rape a child. I saw a comment where this perp needs rehabilitation. How many times have we learned that child molesters really cannot be reformed. If he indeed is found guilty than what he gets in jail is deserved.

Ripoff Report
Clearance.coInternet USA
Clearance.co Clearance Co. could not help with my tablet not connecting to WIFI. I returned it at MY cost. Want a refund since there is a choice on their form. Refused to refund Internet/
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Purchased an Android tablet from Clearance.co. It will not connect to my WIFI or any WIFI for that matter. Tried troubleshooting with tech support twice to no avail. They told me to send back the tablet at my expense, and fill in the attached form which I did and where I opted for "refund" instead of "repair." Now I'm told they do not refund. So why have the option on their forms. Also I have to pay the return shipping which will be another 15 dollars. I've learned my lesson, if the price is too good to be true, then it is not true. Better off to wait for a sale at Best Buy, for example. Anywhere else, they will refund you or give you another item. Now I do not have a tablet, I'm out 15.00 for shipping and no refund on the way. Returning to Canada in two weeks so I'm quite sure I"ve seen the last of that malfunctioning tablet. Having read on the internet a lot of people had trouble with this Android 4.2.2 connecting to WI FI...yet the 4.2.1 worked perfectly.

Refund granted
SUBMITTED: Tuesday, April 01, 2014POSTED: Tuesday, April 01, 2014
Just wanted to let all know that after a couple of emails and threats (contact my lawyer and credit card company) I just was advised that a refund had been granted to my credit card. So there is hope yet. However I will not buy from them again nor will I recommend Clearance.Co Especially for electronics...I don't think the merchandise is new. Anyway, I'm happy now and will buy a tablet at a known electronics store.

Start the conversation
With few policy options remaining in the event of another fiscal crisis, the Federal Reserve is floating an idea that would spell the end of capitalism.
In an effort to stimulate the economy, the Fed will start buying stocks. Several other central banks are already doing it.
The Fed needs only the blessing of Congress to get started, practically a given.

In the hallwayMature
sloping into the hallway, the tops of my thighs chafe beneath the sagging, encrusted cloth of the tracksuit bottoms that serve as my bedclothes. Did I shower yesterday? The day before that? I can't remember. Well, today will be the day! Great things are afoot; I feel a surge of optimism for the first time in weeks at the thought of this major decision and force a demi-lungful of air in through my shrunken nostrils. I'm even sure some of it makes it past my saturated sinuses and into my brain, for fuck me if it hasn't summoned a vision into my stinking world: there on the floorboards, mere inches from the bathroom door, lies a man, curled up in a simian coma, bare legged and single socked, top half covered with my best duffle coat. Have I killed him? What does he want? Who is this terrible cunt, barring the way to soapy destiny? The machine sounds from beyond the windows grind on, become doubled, and my temples throb to the rhythm, inciting dizziness. I reach out to the wall for balance - this demands thought, and I am hardly ready for such a thing this early in my day. Such is the misery of my lot.

Armchair cops abound
It's wonderful to know that so many people in Spokane have criminal justice degrees, have been to the police academy and have firsthand knowledge and practice of law enforcement procedures. Clearly, you should be out on patrol, protecting us and putting your skills to practical use.
It's much like the military: They volunteer their lives for the rest of us, and what thanks do they receive in return? Persecution and ridicule. Second-guessing. There are far too many individuals out there who make me happy the Spokane Police Department and Spokane County Sheriff's Office are there to protect us.
And for those who dislike our everyday heroes, just remember that if you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Update your Tipping cheat sheet!!
Tipping reception Staff and anyone who works your wedding is not optional. It is protocol. This is false info.
When you see this on a contract it is only because catering companies, restaurants, rental companies, florists, planners, etc. do not pay their employees very much money. And they want you to pay the rest for them.
The Knot needs to make it known to people outside of the industry that it is industry protocol to tip all staff. Unless they ruined your day, gratuity is expected. It doesn't have to be a lot, but it needs to be something.5 votesstarted · AdminKeri (Admin, The Knot) responded

By CALEB SONNELAND
In the second match of its preseason tour of the States, Manchester United made its dominance on the world soccer scene known with a demolition of the hosting Seattle Sounders ending at 7-0 in front of 67,052 attendees.
Despite only being on the field for 45 minutes, Wayne Rooney showed just why he is considered one of the premier strikers in the world, notching a hat trick and giving the Sounders back line a torrid night.
Rooney came on at the halftime break and it only took him six minutes to get off the mark. The Red Devil was found 10 yards out by Nani before taking a touch and smashing the ball into the roof of the net. He fizzed a left-footed shot into the far post 18 minutes later, before wrapping up the hat trick in the 72nd to put an exclamation point on his 45-minute shift.
"It was nice to score. It was a good workout, so I liked the result," said Rooney. "It's always a big thing to get your preseason under your belt, so that's the main thing."
Sounders head coach Sigi Schmid started a near identical lineup to the Starting XI that topped Colorado the week prior, a side which stood toe-to-toe with United up to halftime, earning a 0-1 difference. However, at the break, Schmid altered his squad almost completely, putting in fringe players to contest with the likes of Rooney and Park Ji-Sung. The difference between the two Sounders lineups was starkly clear as United cruised to a 6-0 second-half performance.
"You ever heard the cliché 'a game of two halves'? Hopefully, it's a learning experience, because we put some young guys out on the field in the second half.
"Everybody thinks they can play in the Premier League. They think that if they got the break, or if this had worked out or if that had worked out, I could have made it. Actually, no, you can't. You need to learn to figure it out."
The Premier League champions opened scoring early in the 15th minute when Michael nodded home an Ashley Young cross for his second goal of the preseason. Young was thrown a heavy shoulder from James Riley inside the area but the winger got his cross off, and Owen was left unmarked at the back post for a free header to make it 1-0.
Owen's replacement, Mame Biram Diouf, made it 2-0 shortly after the break after a beautiful through ball from Nani allowed the striker in behind the Sounders back line. Diouf controlled, rounded Terry Boss and cooly converted into the far side-netting in the 49th minute.
Other halftime substitutes Mame Biram Diouf, Park Ji-Sung and Gabriel Obertan registered goals in the steam rolling, with Nani and Obertan each notching two assists on the night.
"They're one of the best counter-attacking teams in the world, and we gave them all the space they needed to do what they're best at," said Keller after the game.
It wasn't all bad for Seattle, as it was able to welcome back long-time absentee O'Brian White back to action late in the game. The striker came on late but got a few touches on the ball having been out since April with a serious blood clot injury.
Lamar Neagle, James Riley, Pat Noonann and trialist Mrisho Alfani Ngassa all had good efforts on goal, but none were able to convert as Seattle was condemned to a thumping at home.
Keller has been at the center of some controversy in the build up to the MLS All Star game on July 27th. After initially getting voted onto the Starting XI, Keller then found out he was omitted from the 22-man squad by the league. However, everything has been settled and you can expect to see the shot stopper accounted for at the match.
""I'll be there," said Keller. "It worked out in the end, let's just put it that way."
What did you make of the game? Who was your Man of the Match? Is 7-0 an accurate reflection of the game?
Share your thoughts below.
On serious MLS fans who watched the game and Seattle fans will know that. The rest of the world will see "7-0" and reach (or reinforce) a verdict about MLS. It's an unfortunate result that does MLS no favors.
Okay, to have your wish, we should play these teams when we (MLS) are out of season. The reason why Seattle and LAG and all the other MLS sides are putting in reserves is b/c it' harder to get in the playoffs, it's a competitive league (at least more competitive that in the past), teams are dealing with injuries and have big games coming up. MLS games absolutely take these games seriously–they recognize the likely of injury and definitely fatigue for players who start.
To bad the games 90 minutes long. How long are you Sounders maroons going to keep giving us the same sad story. You got your asses handed to you.
Only a bit unsporting? I've never seen a preseason friendly where starters got subbed in after the half. Was at Dynamo v. Bolton last night, and Owen Coyle played starters for the first half, then subbed out just as many as Kinnear did in the second. Sir Alex just needed to re-inflate his ego a bit after a few months off.
rat tail
IT's the loss SSFC needed to get the rest of their season in focus.
It was a plenty big stage when you arrogant Pr!cks were talking about it before the game. Once you get your rears handed to you all the sudden it didn't mean anything?
By the way I was at Arrowhead last year and at worst the crowd was 50/50 kind of like yours was from the look of it on TV.
Do you know why everyone loves the fact you got schooled? It's because of the casual arrogance you guys display with few results to justify it. I suppose if you have to tell yourselves you're the greatest team because so many of you go out to watch an average team then it must be true. Or might it be to stave off the urge of all Seattlites to continue your cities storied tradition of commiting suicide.
Best football ever seen by an American side? That's why people hate Seattle. You have no sense of anything besides yourselves which manifests itself in your unearned arrogance.
10 man KC up 2 to 1 on ManU at halftime last year. And, oh for good measure they went ahead and won the thing…just sayin.
Um, our starters were down 1-0 at half. ManU lit up a C team while playing the likes of Wayne Rooney. Until last night the only minutes Michael Tetteh has played since being drafted came on a brief loan to a USL side. We had third- and fourth-string guys playing out of position because Sigi wanted everyone to get a taste.
We didn't need a lesson in humility, and we didn't get one.
Unfortunately "balls that went into the back of the opposing goal" was 0 to 7.
I love how everyone always thinks they're the *only* people in the world who actually read beyond the headlines.
No no no no. I don't care if we lose 21-0, I want my Sounders' starters fresh and healthy for games that count.
That wasn't even our B team out there. More like C-. There were guys out there who haven't gotten into an Open Cup or Reserve League game.
Totally disagree. Play them, take the money, let the fans see Rooney do his thing, don't get anyone hurt, and keep legs fresh for games that count. The league's rep is growing, no one who matters will look at these results seriously.
Yeah, I don't get the surprise either. I really dislike Manchester United so I didn't go. But if you're a huge ManU fan or EPL Geek it's a once in a lifetime opportunity to see your guys up close and in person for fifty bucks and bus fare. Kind of a no-brainer unless you're dirt broke.
I couldn't agree more. The Sounders need to focus on finishing top of the league. We don't need injuries to our top players from a dumb friendly.

Genetic Determinants of Circulating Sphingolipid Concentrations in European Populations.
In: PLOS Genetics 5(10), e1000672
Sphingolipids have essential roles as structural components of cell membranes and in cell signalling, and disruption of their metabolism causes several diseases, with diverse neurological, psychiatric, and metabolic consequences. Increasingly, variants within a few of the genes that encode enzymes involved in sphingolipid metabolism are being associated with complex disease phenotypes. Direct experimental evidence supports a role of specific sphingolipid species in several common complex chronic disease processes including atherosclerotic plaque formation, myocardial infarction (MI), cardiomyopathy, pancreatic beta-cell failure, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Therefore, sphingolipids represent novel and important intermediate phenotypes for genetic analysis, yet little is known about the major genetic variants that influence their circulating levels in the general population. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) between 318,237 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and levels of circulating sphingomyelin (SM), dihydrosphingomyelin (Dih-SM), ceramide (Cer), and glucosylceramide (GluCer) single lipid species (33 traits); and 43 matched metabolite ratios measured in 4,400 subjects from five diverse European populations. Associated variants (32) in five genomic regions were identified with genome-wide significant corrected p-values ranging down to 9.08 x 10(-66). The strongest associations were observed in or near 7 genes functionally involved in ceramide biosynthesis and trafficking: SPTLC3, LASS4, SGPP1, ATP10D, and FADS1-3. Variants in 3 loci (ATP10D, FADS3, and SPTLC3) associate with MI in a series of three German MI studies. An additional 70 variants across 23 candidate genes involved in sphingolipid-metabolizing pathways also demonstrate association (p = 10(-4) or less). Circulating concentrations of several key components in sphingolipid metabolism are thus under strong genetic control, and variants in these loci can be tested for a role in the development of common cardiovascular, metabolic, neurological, and psychiatric diseases.

About this Guide
There are thousands of different types of security and surveillance solutions on the market, and finding the one that best fits your needs...at the right price...can be confusing. The truth is, selecting the right equipment and installing it yourself is a lot easier than you may think. Spending a few minutes to study this guide will allow you to make an informed and smart choice. Plus you'll sound like an expert when you are talking to others about video surveillance.
Choosing the Right System
Selecting the right system is easier than you may expect. The following information will help you focus in on the right technology for you.
"Cost is my main concern"
If you are looking for the lowest possible price for a camera solution our CCTV series is the right technology. While it offers the highest performance in an analog system, the costs are the rock bottom lowest for a high performance system. If the budget allows an upgrade to the HD-CVI is a good value as well.
"I want to balance cost with performance (Best Value)"
Consider our HD-CVI or HD-SDI series. Both are great HD performers. The HD-CVI's main benefit is price while the HD-SDI's main benefit is performance. Both provide an excellent balance between cost and performance; real value.
"I want the best performance on the market"
This is a tossup between our HD-SDI series and our HD-IP series. The both offer HD 1080p video performance but there are some basic differences. The HD-SDI offers more durable cabling options, while the HD-IP offers more network and remote camera location options. Speaking with one of our representatives can help clarify which technology is best for you.
"I only want to remotely view cameras not record"
All our systems provide remote viewing through the internet and Smartphones. However if this is your only concern, we would recommend using our HD-IP cameras with our free Professional Surveillance Software. This software installs on your computer and allows multiple cameras to be viewed remotely through the internet or on a Smartphone without the expense of a DVR.
"I'm looking for an easy installation"
Look for our kits that include pre-made cables. The installation is as simple as mounting the camera, plugging the cable into the camera's pigtail and then plugging the other end into the DVR and power supply. No special tools or skills needed. The cable, cameras and power supplies simply click together without any hassle. This is the case with all of our technologies.
"I'm not a hi-tech kind of person"
If you are looking for simple, the CCTV, HD-CVI and HD-SDI technologies are the answer. They use the same type of parts; and setting the DVR up for motion recording is as simple as turning it on. The HD-IP technology is not the right choice if you do not have a basic or functional understanding of computers and networks.
"I want flexible programming"
The answer to this one is a bit relative to your point of view. The HD-IP series provides the most flexible system design options and powerful programming flexibility. But there are very few things the CCTV, HD-CVI and HD-SDI DVRs cannot be programmed to accomplish. It's your choice on this issue. If you have some special programming options you would like to discuss, feel free to call our support representatives with questions. There is a good chance we have the answer.

This mod adds two new road building tools that allow you to upgrade between one- and two-way roads and to change one-way road directions, without having to demolish and rebuild the road. The tools work very similar to the default road upgrade tool. To convert an existing one-way road to a two-way road, you simply select the two-way upgrade tool and click on the segment of the the road you want to upgrade, and drag along the road to convert multiple segments. To convert a two-way road to a one-way road, however, you must drag to the direction you want the road to go instead of just clicking. One-way roads can also be changed to go to the opposite direction in the same manner. The roads are always converted to the same type counterparts, so it does not matter which road type you have selected in the road tool. This also means that it is not possible to directly convert a 4-lane road to a one-way road, because there is no 4-lane one-way road type in the game.

While the mod should work quite reliably, it is still somewhat experimental. Therefore it is recommended that you always save your city before using the mod. Current known issues: - Does not work on Linux. (fix planned) - Sometimes the mod stays on even when you are not using the roads tools, preventing you from placing electric lines or water pipes. If this happens, restarting the game should fix it. (cause unknown) - You can upgrade roads outside of the city's building area.

SEOUL (AFP) – South Korea has suspended a $1.61 billion deal to upgrade its fleet of F-16 fighter jets because of delayed work and cost over-runs, a government agency said Thursday.
The US unit of London-based BAE Systems had been chosen over US aerospace giant Lockheed Martin for the 1.75 trillion won project to upgrade the South Korean air force's fleet of 134 F-16s.
The upgrade began in December last year through a foreign military sales programme covered by guarantees from the US government, as the F-16 is a Lockheed product.
But it was suspended in recent days because of faltering negotiations over additional costs presented by both BAE Systems and the US government, Seoul's Defence Acquisition Programme Administration (DAPA) said.
BAE Systems has demanded 300 billion won in additional expenses, and the US government in turn wants Seoul to cover an extra cost of 500 billion won because of the increased risk of the project falling through, it said.
South Korea insists it will not agree to price hikes that run far beyond the original agreement.

Full house at Janzen UCR talk
We are so very appreciative of those who have helped us in 2016 in our ongoing mission to support the biodiversity survival of Area de Conservacion Guanacaste (ACG)...
We work in a place of outstanding biodiversity and beauty in northwest Costa Rica called Area de Conservacion Guanacaste (ACG). Home to 2.4% of the world's terrestrial biodiversity, the ACG is the only protected area in the Neotropics that sweeps from Pacific Ocean waters up over the volcanic mountain range of the continental divide and down into the lowlands of the Atlantic rain forest. The Guanacaste Dry Forest Conservation Fund (GDFCF) was formed to aid with the development, protection, and sustainability of ACG.

LASHKAR GAH, Afghanistan (Reuters) – Omar Gul was on duty at a remote police checkpoint in Helmand's restive district of Sangin when the station came under fire.
It was a warm night in mid-September and the battle between Afghanistan's government forces and Taliban militants had been simmering in the southern province all summer.
Around sunrise, Gul recalled, he was shot in the leg. For the next twelve hours he bled, and waited, and bled some more, until the fighting died down long enough for a colleague to hoist Gul onto his back and take him to get help.
In the end, it was not his employer – the government of Afghanistan – who saved his life. After carrying him out of the checkpoint, Gul's colleagues drove him to a first-aid post run by an Italian NGO called Emergency, whose own ambulance ferried him to the group's hospital in Lashkar Gah, Helmand's capital.
Lying in the hospital two weeks later, Gul said he owed his life to Emergency. If it wasn't for them, "I would have died," he said.
Once the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), the NATO-led coalition in Afghanistan, ends its combat mission next month, the 350,000-member Afghan National Security Forces will bear responsibility for fighting an increasingly organised and ambitious Taliban insurgency.
ISAF's departure will leave wounded men like Gul dependent on a thinly spread medical system with unreliable supply chains and insecure routes for evacuating the injured.
Interviews with senior Afghan and NATO military officials and local medical staff show some civilian hospitals are scrambling to treat an increasing number of injured soldiers and police.
There are also cases of security personnel being treated with poor quality drugs and orders of medical supplies not reaching frontline clinics. If the new Afghan government under President Ashraf Ghani can't effectively fight the war within its borders and care for its forces, it risks demoralising the army and police and pushing more young men into the ranks of the Taliban.
"The government can't afford to give proper treatment to the police and army," said Faizullah Mohammadi, a surgeon who has been working at Emergency hospital in Lashkar Gah for 10 years.
Since the Afghan National Security Forces, comprising the Afghan National Army, the Afghan National Police and the Afghan Air Force, took the lead in security operations across the country in mid-2013, the Taliban and other militant groups have not succeeded in taking control of any province or provincial centre.
But Afghan forces have been suffering unprecedented casualties this year. Whereas 1,400 soldiers were killed in the Afghan calendar year from March 2013 to March 2014, 950 were killed in the six months from March through September this year.
The government did not provide figures on the number of wounded.
The police have been hit even harder. More than 2,200 of them, including members of the Afghan Local Police, were killed in the first five months of the Afghan calendar year. That compares with 1,680 in the first seven months of last year, according to the Ministry of the Interior, which oversees the police.
Too often these deaths are the result of a lack of basic medical care, said Brig Gen David Glaser, deputy director of the ISAF-led advisory team to the Ministry of Interior. "They're bleeding out. They're not getting treated for shock. They're not applying tourniquets correctly," said Glaser, who is a member of the US military.
At its peak in the fall of 2011, there were over 800 military installations being operated by the NATO-led coalition across the country. By the end of December, there will be fewer than 30. Late last month, the last US Marine unit in Afghanistan and the last British combat forces were airlifted out of their regional headquarters in Helmand.
"Is it going to be perfect before we leave? No," said Col David Ristedt, who serves as the medical advisor for ISAF Joint Command.
But Ristedt is cautiously optimistic. The remaining coalition medical facilities have been seeing fewer injured Afghan soldiers and police because their own health care has improved, he said. And Afghan Ministry of Defense spokesman General Zahir Azimi told Reuters the government was fully prepared to care for its own troops. "
For the last 18 months, we have been operating independently," Azimi wrote in an email.
Some senior Afghan military commanders aren't convinced. They said they have deep concerns about the implications of not being ready to take care of their own troops.
Brig Gen DrMohammad Asif Bromand sits behind a large desk in a hospital at Camp Thunder, an Afghan base in the eastern province of Paktia, listening on a speakerphone to a call for staff from military hospitals across the country. The air is heavy with the tang of cigarette smoke.
In the hospital wards – there are seven army hospitals across the country – injured soldiers and police lie staring at the ceiling. A soldier in one room has been shot in the throat.
Another has had a leg amputated after he was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED).
"I don't know what the politicians think, but as an Afghan general, I think it's too early to transfer the security responsibility from the US to Afghanistan," he said. "From each and every aspect, the Afghan army isn't ready."
ISAF says coalition troops will continue to assist with air evacuation even after it ends its combat mission, but there will be fewer areas where they can help, leaving the task to the fledgeling Afghan Air Force. Ground evacuation is more readily available but also more dangerous, with the wounded having to be transported along often unsafe roads.
"Five, six, seven years ago, the whole of Afghanistan was covered by coalition force MEDEVAC rings," Captain Julie Thain-Smith, ISAF's chief medical advisor, told Reuters in late October, referring to the areas where coalition forces could reach the wounded by air within an hour.
Today there are only five major coalition bases left – in Kabul, Kandahar, Mazar-e-Sharif, Herat and Jalalabad – from which security forces can be reached in that timeframe, said Thain-Smith, a member of the Royal Navy who recently completed her assignment in Afghanistan.
On a morning in August, a convoy pulled out of the ISAF Joint Command base attached to Kabul airport and headed to the Afghan army's central supply depot.
In one car, two soldiers scanned the streets as the convoy passed the concrete skeleton of a half-built apartment building pocked with bullet holes. A few weeks earlier, insurgents had used it to launch an attack on the airport.
Inside the supply depot's barbed-wire perimeter fence, the convoy slowed to a halt. Lt General Joseph Anderson, the American who heads ISAF Joint Command, hopped out and strode toward Maj Gen Abdul Basir, the Afghan army's logistics commander.
With ISAF's mission winding down, Anderson said a sense of urgency was building in the coalition to help the Afghan military get its supply chains running more smoothly. His inspection of the depot didn't inspire confidence.
The generals walked side by side, peering into rows of shipping containers stacked with military supplies. Basir explained why the movement of goods from Kabul to troops in the field was slow, blaming his colleagues around the country for not placing their orders correctly.
"Your system is bad," Anderson said, affably resting a hand on Basir's shoulder.
Later, looking at neatly stacked boxes of counter-IED robots, Anderson was less amicable. "What is this doing in a container?" he asked. "Absolutely nothing. Guys are dying out there."
Maj Gen Mohammad Mussa Wardak, the medical commander of the Afghan army, told Reuters in August that procurement and distribution of medical supplies remained a weakness.
He pointed to delays in supplies reaching hospitals and bureaucratic obstacles when importing morphine, an essential narcotic.
"It's not a good system," he said.
As a backup, regional military hospitals can buy medicines on the local market. But that fix exposes soldiers to often poor quality medicines that flood much of the Afghan market, said Wardak, who was recently removed from his post.
More broadly, there are concerns over how international aid money to the military is being spent.
An August 29 report by the US Department of Defense Inspector General found that Afghanistan's previous government under President Hamid Karzai had failed to effectively track billions of dollars in direct contributions to the Afghan defence forces.
Inside the police medical warehouse complex in Kabul, the long shelves are stacked with medicines and equipment for the main police hospital in the capital and 129 small clinics around the country.
It's late August and fighting is unfolding across fronts in several provinces, but the compound is not particularly busy.
A single truck is parked in front of a warehouse, picking up supplies for a medical facility in Kabul. Inside one of the buildings, a worker arranges supplies on a table.

When Ten Feet Feels Like Twenty
Most of the men I dated in college were spotted from afar. The memories of them blend into one figure walking to class, his eyes on the concrete just ahead of each step, adjusting a bag on his shoulder. An open button-down flaps in the breeze, waving at me from across the yard. The greatest distance between the many hims and me was usually about seventy feet. Safe enough, close enough. Sometimes he felt someone watching and turned around. If he caught my eye, I lingered for a couple of seconds, just enough time to see if there was a spark. From seventy feet, this was comfortable.
At that distance, no one's walking up to anyone, asking them out, and making a bumbling spectacle. I imagined that if I looked hard enough, even into his back, he would turn. Sometimes he looked right at me, and depending on how his face changed, I could tell whether he was interested, or not. If his eyes darted to something right behind me as if eye contact was a mere bump, it was a miss. I turned away, and so did he. If he suddenly looked like he just took something that wasn't his, we had a keeper. Eye contact was key in figuring out who wouldn't glance at his watch for me, and who had already imagined us naked in the same room.
I often figured the weight of disappointment was more severe than the thrill of landing a lover. This was a mistake, but at 22, my pride won out more often than I'd like to admit. Take this one guy, for instance. I'll call him Dylan, after my first crush in elementary school. Dylan and I lived in the same dorm, and therefore we walked many a time across the same quad. Sometimes we passed each other on the sidewalk, and other times I just caught glances of him from across the quad. He looked just as striking up close as he did far away: olive skin, and blue eyes so bright they looked like they'd been artificially pigmented. Perhaps I worried that I was un-striking, but whenever he turned in my direction, I turned away. I glanced into a tree or over a hill before I could gauge whether Dylan would give me the time of day, or the time of my life. That is, until we found ourselves in much closer quarters, where there were no trees to safely gaze into.
This strange form of courtship was trickier in a bar. In a crowd, ten feet felt like twenty, and guys like me who cruised strangers by staring grew braver in this setting. The shoulders and elbows bent with drinks in hand made it easy to blend in. This was especially true at a bar called Ted's. Even sober, it took fifteen minutes to move twelve steps in any direction. Twenty-five thousand undergrads and just three bars made for crowded nights. Besides watching classmates make earnest attempts at karaoke for the first time, getting drunk at Ted's was what one did in the evening.
Ted's was country-ish, with neon lights, saloon-style seating, TVs showing football from four different corners of the ceiling, and a not-in-anyway-ironic jukebox that played Kenny Chesney as much as it played Rihanna. The floor was coated
with a sticky film that sucked on our shoes and the regulars greeted each other with boisterous, highfive/handshake combinations that endangered anyone close by. This was not a bar to which scores of gay men flocked.
There were some (there always are), but they were incognito, camouflaged as persons among persons. Closeted frat boys skilled in machismo: deepened voices, broadened postures, excessive use of "bro." Up close, their illusions were thickest, like a good magic trick. We were easiest to fool when we looked too closely. Out on the quad, the audience was easy: lazy students pretending to read, sleeping on the grass, and tanning their shoulders. Why hide when everyone is in plain sight? In a bar, the vantage points multiply and spread. Ten feet feels like twenty, and your audience is not always in front of you. It's harder to keep track of who is watching.
Even at Ted's the men who liked men in a bar for men could be spotted. They slipped a glance at a boy and lingered a second too long, eyes shifting like someone guarding a secret. We, the men who liked men, looked at each other like thieves; we preferred to steal peeks rather than approach someone.
It's not that we needed to be afraid of being found out. Our school to this day has a very liberal reputation. In Ted's though, sports played from all four corners and the floor sucked on our shoes. There was the suspicion on our part that men would be men here, and if we wanted to check out another guy, we had to steal the side of his face when he couldn't look back. If he did, the audience would know.
This is how Dylan and I finally saw each other at the same time. I had gone to Ted's with a group of friends one night, unassuming and looking forward to getting drunk. During our third round of drinks, a line of frat brothers filed in from the outside. At the tail end of this line was none other than Dylan. As if naturally predisposed to do so, I kept a polar distance from him all night, like an animal that didn't know if he should stay away or go in for the kill. Minutes before we left, I lost sight of him. I felt like the oblivious teen in a horror movie that loses focus just long enough for the killer to sneak up behind him. Which is exactly what happened.
I turned around and there he was, Dylan, standing inches from me. Only, he wasn't killing me. In fact, he was smiling. Smiling! And looking at me! Not only looking, but speaking to me too. As we exchanged numbers, I remembered all the Dylans, before him, all the hims I had attempted love with. From the ten feet away that felt like twenty, we snuck across the gap, fearful and energized by fear of being seen. When we found each other, we braved light-headed smiles, dizzied by the collapsing space between us.

Baldassare Estense
Baldassare Estense (ca. 1443 - after 1504) was an Italian painter.
He was born in Reggio, has been supposed to have been an illegitimate scion of the house of Este, since no mention of his father's name ever occurs in contemporary records, whilst he was called 'Estensis,' and received unusual promotion and rewards from the Dukes of Ferrara. He was a pupil of Cosimo Tura, and was also a medallist. In 1469 he painted the likeness of Borso I, and was ordered to present it in person to the Duke of Milan. From 1471 to 1504 he was a salaried officer at the court of Ferrara, living first in Castel Nuovo, for which he painted a canvas that has perished, and afterwards in Castel Tedaldo, of which he was the governor. In 1483 he painted the portrait of Tito Strozzi, now in the Costabili Gallery at Ferrara. His will, dated 1500, is in the archives of Ferrara, but the exact date of his death is unknown.

text: In these tough economic times, it is even more important to be vigilant about possible consumer fraud perpetrated on the Internet. Generally speaking, when buying or bidding on goods online, you should be careful about divulging your personal financial information. You should also be careful in selecting the vendors with whom you deal. To avoid being defrauded by online vendors, keep the following guidelines in mind: Never give your credit card or Social Security number to someone who solicits you online or over the phone.Restrict your purchases to vendors you know you can trust or nationally-known sellers.Always make sure a website is secure before providing any financial information. Secured websites can be identified by the yellow locked padlock or key icon appearing at the bottom of your browser's window or at web addresses preceded by the letters "https." Do not give out personal financial information to vendors unless you are absolutely certain your contact is legitimate. Use antivirus software, a firewall and anti-spyware to keep your computer safe and secure and update these programs regularly to protect against the latest threats. Use a secure online payment service such as PayPal. You can also make purchases by credit card, which, unlike a debit card, offers some protection in case a dispute arises. Print a record of what you pay for and always cross-check your online purchases with your bank or credit card statement to make sure no unauthorized charges appear. Do not keep your personal financial information, including account passwords, on your computer. Use a USB flash drive instead. Turn your computer off when you are not using it. If your computer is left on, scammers can install software and control it remotely to commit cyber crime.If you have been defrauded by a company online, contact your local police precinct to file a complaint.

When a journalist decides to investigate his would-be killers, his shocking findings provide an absorbing story of modern India
Based on actual events, The Story of My Assassins tells the saga of a journalist who learns that the police have captured five hitmen on their way to kill him. Landing like a bombshell on his comfortable life, just as he's started a steamy affair with a brilliant woman, the news prompts him to launch an urgent investigation into the lives of his aspiring murderers--a ragtag group of street
thugs and village waifs--and their mastermind. Who wanted him dead, and why?
But the investigation forces him to reexamine his own life, too--to confront his own notion of himself, as well as his complex feelings about the country that crafted his would-be killers.
Part thriller and part erotic romance, full of dark humor and knife-edged suspense, The Story of My Assassins is a piercing literary novel that takes us from the lavish, hedonistic palaces of India's elite to its seediest slums. It is a novel of corruption, passion, power, and ambition; of extreme poverty and obscene wealth. It is a gripping adventure into the heart of today's India.
