...very standards that Petraeus helped develop, it probably won't work in Baghdad. First of all, there aren't enough troops to do it. The counterinsurgency manual suggests a ratio of 20 troops per 1,000 residents, or 120,000 troops to secure Baghdad alone, but the largest "surge" being contemplated would increase the number of troops in the capital by 20,000, to about 35,000. Second, the troops we do have aren't trained to the task: they're tired and overextended, and it will take time to retrain them to knock on doors rather than kick them...
Companies grant options to compensate top execs for increasing the stock price. Such grants allow them to buy the stock over a period of time at a price set by the grant date.

Whoever gets the nod will be charged with keeping the fourth-ranked Dartmouth offense, which enters the weekend averaging 4.11 goals per appearance, off the scoreboard. Senior forward Gillian Apps leads the country in that category with 1.19 goals per game. And the Big Green is no slouch on the defensive end, either. That unit also ranks fourth, allowing just 1.50 goals per contest. Harvard, however, is second in both fields, tallying...
...That's too bad, said Ramsey, a former state budget director, who says Kentucky badly needs more college graduates. "Our per capita personal income is only about 82% of the national average, and that's largely because we have an undereducated population," Ramsey said. "We see this as doing our part in developing a more educated workforce, with more college degrees...
