WASHINGTON (AP) -- Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai says the United States must reduce the visibility and intensity of its military operations in Afghanistan.
Karzai also said Saturday in an interview with The Washington Post the U.S. should end the increased Special Operations forces night raids that aggravate Afghans and could strengthen the Taliban insurgency.
He says he wants American troops off the roads and out of Afghan homes and that the long-term presence of so many foreign soldiers would only worsen the war. U.S. commander Gen. David Petraeus claims the 30,000 new troops have made substantial progress in beating back the insurgency.
Karzai says the time has come to reduce military operations and reduce the intrusion of troops into daily life in Afghanistan.

i'm lucky i was close to a ramp and was able to roll over to the side of the hwy. i called their wonderful roadside service, who put me on hold for 15 minutes. forturnately, an LA city worker pulled over and changed the tire...he does this for a living, and did not recognize what was in the tire that made it blow out. it wasn't from the road...my guess? a defective tire (which the enterprise employee who drove me to my sisters home after i dropped off the car, said they get from the factory all the time). i did not drive on the wheel except to pull over (i've had to do the same thing with my own car and there was never damage to the wheel)... but, i'm sure, with glee, enterprise thought "we're in the money"!! and tried to charge me for a bent wheel and threw this dent in as icing on the cake.
i'm ignoring their letters, i've cancelled the credit card they have on file and called my insurance company to let them know that i'm a victim of an enterprise swindle. they assured me they won't pay a penny. as for enterprise, let them "blacklist" me...i could care less! i'd never give this disgusting company another dime anyway.
i wish i'd read about them before ever renting a car from them. not only are there numerous consumer complaints of fraud regarding "damage" they also have been renting out recalled autos? as a result, two young ladies were killed when an enterprise rental caught fire (there was a recall in effect when they rented this car out). to add insult to injury, enterprise tried to claim the driver was suicidal...nice thing for the family to go through after losing their two daughters. btw, enterprise ended up paying 15 million for killing these poor girls. enterprise sucks...be a savy consumer and use hertz (hertz has agreed never to rent out recalled vehicles and enterprise is fighting them on that...also hertz takes pictures of the cars before and after you rent...something enterprise wouldn't dream of doing...as long as they can take your money, they'll continue to scam).

A Sixties Reckoning

moreDO YOU REMEMBER WHAT IT FELT LIKE TO BE FIFTEEN? MARTHA TOD DUDMAN DOES.
It starts with a blue hash pipe in a shabby field and a hot, tight dance at the Mayflower Hotel, and rapidly accelerates against the kaleidoscopic backdrop of the Sixties.
Describing a time weirdly similar to today, Expecting to Fly recalls a conservative government embroiled in an increasingly unpopular war, racial tensions, and a generation of disillusioned young people looking for something meaningful to believe in -- teenagers who, like Dudman, hurled themselves into a sea of drugs and sex they weren't really ready for.
With the same passion and brutal honesty that she brought to her first book, Augusta, Gone -- the story of her daughter's troubled adolescence -- Dudman re-creates her own wild ride through the turbulent Sixties, vividly recounting scenes you probably experienced yourself.
From the prim tradition of a posh girls' school and debutante parties of Washington, D.C., to the snows of New Hampshire and the campaign for Eugene McCarthy, from living out of a knapsack in Spain to getting stoned on acid in Yellow Springs, Ohio, Expecting to Fly takes us on a blistering trip to a time when the only thing you couldn't be was shocked.
Now, years later, Dudman reflects on that time and what it means: "Which was it -- triumph, exploration, some important journey, or just a big stupid mistake, a total waste of time?"

Bad news for stray cats
Over a year ago
I live in a neighborhood in LA and i have several stray cats here. There are like 4 or 3 of us who feed the cats. Sometimes i feed them when i have food for them. My aunt knocked at my door( she lives right across my door in an apartment since shes the manager) saying that a neighbor started a petition about not having these stray kitties anymore. She really doesnt want those cats around our neighborhood( this lady lives in a house). She had asked people to sign in favor of not having these cats here no more. She had an argument with my aunt about it. I really do not want anyone taking those cats anywhere. I see them as mine even though theyre strays. Im afraid something bad is going to happen to them if they take them away. I do not know to whom is the neighbor going to give the petition too. For now, im worried about those cats. We cant have no pets here. Should i involve the police into this?
Please log in to reply.

If you try to get the police involved, they're just going to tell you to call animal control.
If it's an option, you should try to find a no-kill shelter in your area, and take the cats there – otherwise, they may be taken somewhere that will put them down.
Either way, it's really not safe for them to be out on the streets, especially in LA.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

Hey @luciferla,
Thanks for caring about these cats! While you might miss the cats, they are open to many dangers living on the streets without a permanent home to go to. No cat should ever be allowed outside unattended and vulnerable to abuse, disease, and accidents. Every week, we see cats who have been shot, run over, thrown to aggressive dogs in barbaric training exercises, and otherwise endangered. Some of these cats are feral; others are members of loving families who mistakenly assume that their animal companions will be safe outside. 🙁
Please help those cats by calling animal control to retrieve them from the dangerous streets where they are totally vulnerable to predators and disease. It'd be awesome if you decide to adopt one or some of them afterwards, of course. Our CID Department can help, so please contact them at [email protected]. 🙂
Thanks again!

Hologic (NASDAQ: HOLX ) posted a quarter featuring a key financial number writ large in red ink. For its Q4, revenues came in at $622 million, an improvement over the $589 million in the same period the previous year. Bottom line, however, plunged far more deeply into negative territory, to $1.11 billion ($4.11 per share) compared to the $78 million ($0.29) shortfall in the year-ago quarter.
The massive net loss was due almost entirely to a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $1.1 billion. The company has significant goodwill on its books following a number of acquisitions in recent times.
Analysts expected revenue of $624 million and a per-share profit of $0.37.
Meanwhile, Hologic announced that its board has authorized a fresh stock repurchase program. The company will buy back up to $250 million of its common stock over the next three years.
This quarter is the company's first since the return of Jack Cumming to the CEO's chair. He had previously served in that position from 2001 to 2009.

Seems surprisingly cheap vs peers - MRK, BMY, LLY, etc. Seems like ABBV has some confused. It's growth rate is 25% of ABT and ABBV is catching the bid post-split - it may be the higher dividend but the disconnect will fade and ABT will be above $40 just to be on par with slower-growing peers! Any intelligent responses?
It's not clear what companies are now peers for ABT, and not clear what to compare the PE to. MRK, BMY and LLY are pharmaceuticals companies. ABT has spun off its pharmaceuticals business as ABBV, leaving it with a mix of health/medical/diagnostics related products, a line that is unlike that of any other business. So, it's hard to say whether the PE is relatively cheap or not. If you think it is, then it's a good time to buy. And just as an unrelated comment: a response can not be intelligent. A person can be intelligent, and a response can be written by an intelligent person, but that doesn't make the response itself intelligent. Perhaps you meant relevant, or coherent, or cogent?
Chick, you are exactly right. You can no longer compare Abt to other large Pharma Companies. Abt is kinda of out there on its own. It is not a straight medical device company, generic pharma, etc. It does have a nice balanced product portfolio but how do you compare it to peers is still a question. J&J maybe a little closer but not on target due to size.

Senior midfielder Joe Lim added another goal at the 12:41 mark and goalkeeper Logan Long scored from the weakside with 6:03 left in the game, putting Waynesville up 4-0.

The Colombia I Left Behind
Published: March 24, 2002
(Page 2 of 4)
Fifty sharecroppers and their families lived at Monte Carmelo in houses with dirt floors and zinc roofs. Another couple hundred men came to pick cotton during harvest time. They lived in open wooden barracks, bathed in the river and cooked on makeshift coal stoves. There were no benefits, and no one was paid what the labor code required: extra pay on Sunday and the provision of work clothes. My grandfather did not follow those rules.
''Yes, my father did not pay as he was supposed to,'' Hernán says. ''No one did.'' But when Gamez died, ''we were his widow's social security. We were the state.'' The only school in the area, he reminds me, was the one my grandfather built at the ranch. It offered a government-approved high-school diploma.
But that is all in the past, Hernán is quick to remind me.
I can smell the burned sugar coming from the mill where I once fetched stalks of cane, which I would then freeze. (''It brings out the flavor,'' my grandfather always said.) We pass a peasant woman and her young daughter washing clothes in the stream that borders the entrance to the farm. They smile and wave -- the same way I remember them waving to my grandfather.
The driver, Jaime Chiquillo, who also happens to be Monte Carmelo's top administrator, stops the jeep in front of a yellow gate. ''Welcome to the new Monte Carmelo,'' he says, replacing my grandfather as my guide. We drive through rows of palm trees that feel like green umbrellas opening up and reaching the sky as we roll by. The trees, African palms that yield oil-rich fruits, were planted some years ago because cattle were too vulnerable to theft. Also, palma africana, as it is known here, is considered Colombia's new golden crop -- the legal one, of course. Chiquillo calls out: ''Los Mangos! Nuevo Mundo! Las Marielas!'' They are the names my grandfather gave to his grazing grounds, all that remains of the open prairies that turned bright green when the rivers flooded.
''Before, if a worker had a problem, they went to your grandfather,'' Chiquillo says. ''Don Rafa, my tooth aches.' 'Don Rafa, my 10th child is sick.' Don Rafa would put his hand in his pocket and hand him some cash.'' In today's Monte Carmelo, he adds, all 160 workers receive a complete benefits package, including social security, medical insurance and money for school.
We arrive in time for lunch, served in an open-air dining room where more than a dozen people wait for Hernán. Five supervisors arrive on brand-new motorbikes -- No more donkeys,'' Chiquillo remarks. Everyone is excited to see Hernán -- el doctor,'' they call him, not ''don.'' Among them is Bolivia, Pedro Gamez's widow, tiny and dressed in black. She is in mourning because ''they'' had ''uncompleted'' her children. Her youngest son, a 32-year-old cowboy, was murdered three months ago, by whom she doesn't know. When I ask, she simply says: ''How am I to know? Someone, someone from one of the many armed groups.''
Hernán introduces me to a worker at Monte Carmelo, a relative old-timer who has lived in the area since the early 80's. He wears sturdy leather boots, jeans and a khaki work shirt with the company's slogan, ''Wellness and Progress!'' He says he is willing to speak about the farm's history, but only if I agree not to use his name. Here, to talk about politics is to risk your life.
He came during the fat years of the cotton bonanza, he says, when the fields resembled white blankets and there was work in the region for more than 70,000 pickers. But imports of cheaper, higher-quality cotton obliterated the business, and things changed. Unemployment brought thieves, rustlers -- and rebels. Both the FARC and the E.L.N. expanded from their stronghold in the south of the country. They settled, like revolutionaries do, deep in the sierra, up close to the Motilones -- the Indians who in calmer days came to Monte Carmelo to sell their game. He points to the horizon, showing how one group, the FARC's Front 41, took the hills north of Monte Carmelo and another, the E.L.N.'s José Manuel Martínez Quiroz Front, settled to the south of the farm.
''At first, they camped out in the land of the small farmers, up there where it starts to get cold,'' the employee says, obviously uncomfortable in his role of historian. ''They arrive and ask if they can use the kitchen. Then they invite them to eat with them and slowly start talking about their beliefs.''
To many of the laborers, farmers and peasants, the revolutionary ideology must have rung true. All they had to do was look around to see the enormous landholdings in the hands of a few. There was even a peaceful coexistence between the landowners and the rebels. Hernán can recall a time when landowners almost welcomed them. ''They come in and start doing the work of the absent state,'' he says, ''punishing the petty thief that steals the hen, the pig or the cow.'' Many ranchers went up to the rebels' camps with whiskey and accordion trios, and the singing would last until dawn. Hernán, who hung a poster of Che during his law-school days in the early 70's, says that ''once or twice'' he contributed to the rebels, providing medicine, for example, or a credit order slip at the general store. Many requests came in the form of typewritten letters with ''lots of revolutionary salutes,'' not to mention spelling mistakes. What started as requests, however, evolved into something far more menacing. ''They became conditions, impositions, obligations,'' Hernán says.
