How do terrorist groups like Al Qaeda and the Taliban get funding? Drugs? Prostitution? Weapons?

Be fair, they don't have to travel halfway around the world to get to the fight. Persia funds them rather well and provides a huge market for the poppy.

Could somebody give me the name of this book?

I saw it on a show a couple of years ago. I think it's supposed to be really old. I remember seeing a page that looked like a word find; but if you rearrange the letters they give you the date of a catastrophe or something else like that. I think they said if you rearrange some of the letters they say something about September 11th.

Scholarships to become paramedic in australia.?

Australia unlike the US, do not have a scholarship culture. All students pay for their training although they are all eligible to pay the fees back after they start work in the form of extra tax. Since this payback is only in effect if they work in Australia - this is not available for international students. International students have to pay for their studies - there are no scholarships or funds to help them. They are actually an income producer for the universities. That said, parametic medicine is NOT a university course. This is an applied course run but the ambulance service to which you need to be an Australian citizen to apply for. So as a Mexican citizen you are not eligible to study to become a paramedic in Australia.

How to prove?

I was struck alone when there was a mishap in colony. the rescue team helping us and a person tried to pull me out thru a small opening on top.He could get me under armpits and tried to pull. He grabbed my and every time he pulled me up he was squeezing my s .Many times I fell half the way and his hands were crushing my while falling down. Everytime he picked me up he was again cupping my s, squeezing and holding them to get support to pull me up. It was very embaring to me but I had no way but to get out. My blouse was torn and moved up and he touched my stomach and pressed in the process. after no. of try he got hold with his arm around me below still pressing half of s from bottom and got my crotch with other hand. Holding between my thighs and he managed pull me totally out.When out, I fell back on him with skirt dangerously up the thighs with his hand still in thighs. Than a woman rescuer adjusted skirt.How can I prove this as molesting?

Do you think it's fair how the Red Sox are dealing with Casey Kotchman?

I think that the original players from the 2 World Series will always be crowd favorites. Big Papi was doing terrible in the beggining of the season, and I hated to see him play so badly. Personally I agree with your lineup. Lowel produces more runs and RBI's than Ortiz, and as of late, Ortiz is giving Boston a bad reputation. Youkilis should definately play 3rd. That leaves catcher and 1st. Victor Martinez can play either, so Varitek could still catch while Martinez plays 1st. But, Martinez is a better catcher as far as numbers go, and he should catch. Kotchman is then there to fill the void at 1st. Also, keep in mind that the Redsox are a much better team than the Braves, so he may not be starting on the Sox. That doesn't take anything away from him, but he's on a better team now. Anyway, totally agree with you, and hope I helped.

In artificial neural networks, backpropagation learning, do we have to worry about overftting?

Do we need to have a validation data set in addition do the training data set? do we have to perform something like cross-validation to avoid overfitting?

Why is my mother trying to change me?

My mom has changed a lot over the years. We used to be on the poor side and never had much...but a few years ago, she started dating an extremely wealthy guy and now she is different. She only cares about wearing the best clothes, has to get her hair and nails done all the time...very materalistic. Even my sister is like that now. But I'm not. I'm still laid back. Quiet. Shy. Wear causal clothes. My hair is dark but she wants me to dye it blonde. I don't want blonde hair. She is also trying to get me to dress up. I don't want to. She keeps trying to set me up with rich frat boys. I don't like them. She wants me to be more outgoing and talkative. That's not who I am. Why is she trying to change me? Is her behavior normal for parents? Should I be who I want to be?

My husband left me after my throat cancer surgery?

It doesn't sound like you had much of a marriage to begin with . . so you are probably much, much better off without him. You don't sound overly upset by the whole thing . . let him go and be glad he is out of your life. It is irrelevant whether your illness changed your voice or made you hard to live with . . he is disloyal. A marriage denotes loyalty and honesty and he had none. Get a lawyer, make sure you are legally protected and can keep your health insurance as well as all that is entitled to you. But waste no more of your life on him.

It seems that our physical bodies limit us -- but is that reversed?

Thats an excellent question. When I have out of body experiences I still see myself in my body. Perhaps the difficulty is in not having that body thereby making it more difficult to experience certain aspects of my state. For example my five senses. How do we see without functioning eyes? How do we hear without functioning ears? For example if you read Sylvia Brown she mentions that in the afterlife we have difficulty understanding the living because we speak verbally rather than telepathically. So in a sense I guess JJ sees for example that we can currently "hear" both astral, telapathic communication and physically feel, verbal communication(keep in mind that sound is physical vibration we decipher as words or noise). When we die we lose one of those. Excellent question though. It's been awhile since I have felt truly challenged by such a question. Thank-you.

Why do most Americans think the French Foreign Legion are cowardly imbecilic weaklings and ineffective in war?

I second hamroger on this. You don't know what you're talking about and it's quite obvious you have never seen a day of service in the FFL... and perhaps even the Marines.
