in 2007 there were no girls in school in southwest afghanistan. the taliban ran the medrossas, those are gone now. currently if you walked into southwest afghanistan you would see many marines but you would also see 25,000 kids in school. you would see close to 3,000 girls. there is a teacher's college that has been renovated in the big city and there are aspiring teachers studying at that college. there are women's centers established in two of those districts and there are afghan parents and educators involved in their local schools. and to just pull a thread on what many of our senior leadership has said throughout the couple of days, indeed the u.s. military is a global force for good and we will always seek opportunities to leave every place better than when we arrived. and i appreciate your time, appreciate your attention. thank you. .

there are shell trade routes all over the southwest. shell was a primary material for making jewelry, for using in burials, and you had to walk 600 miles to get it, down to the sea of cortez, the water that's in between baja and the main land of mexico. and i tracked routes all the way down to the border over years and then across the mexican border into sonora and then it a place called penacate and then a dune, 5,000 square miles of sand dunes, a beautiful landscape, but no water out there. but pottery, broken pottery all over in certain places and pieces of shell left behind where you could see that the people were crossing these dunes to the sea and picking up shell and then crossing back and then moving it up to phoenix and then from phoenix distributing it throughout the rest of the southwest. the first trip i took out there, we hit this mountain range right at the edge of the dunes. and we were carrying, i don't know, on that trip we were maybe carrying 80 or 90 pounds of water and moving it out to the sand and then we'd drop a c

in southwest afghanistan that literacy rate was women was 8 percent. so you have to work very hard to get an 8 percent literacy rate for women, which means you actually have to stop and implement policies to make sure that women actually couldn't partake in any learning, any health systems, anything that would contribute to their growth. so girls in school, big focus area. we wanted to reverse the effects of the state of women and girls in afghanistan. so once the security foot hold was gained in southwest afghanistan by the marines in 2010 and 2011 and they continued to conduct operations as i'm speaking, we began to build capacity at every level to ensure the afghans are ultimately able to take the helm of their own destiny and they have the capacity to run this system. we instituted assessments for growth in schools, we create the thresholds for the complete turn over to the afghans and we ensured that there were actual funding lines present so the kabul ministry can make sure the money what was v

southwest airlines says some of its best hires are teachers. what do teachers know about the airline business? nearly nothing. teachers are just really good employees. so to a police officers and restaurant waiters. southwest does hire people from other airlines but not as often as you think. katrina walker has written about southwest and other companies unusual hiring practices. her new book is think like duck. the five business secrets of facebook's brilliant ceo. thanks for being with us. i know apple did that as well. job jobs studied calligraphy and brought in artists. there's engineers that have the dual talents. >> absolutely. it's interesting you look at the successful companies, that's what they do. they're mantra is hire for attitude. skills can be taught but passion can't. that's the principle that jobs and zuckerburg use to look at the best candidates. look, i hire people from the street because they come in and say we'll mop the floors and do whatever wp we love your brand. we want to do whatever it takes to get you to that next le

and a big 'question mark' for southwest. southwest appears to be flying high... with on-time arrival and lost baggage rates both improved. but for american.. tied at the bottom of the list for delays... and for united... landing last in the rankings overall... the skies are not sunny. "united continues to get dogged with these problems. they make progress, and they seem to slip back. that's real disappointing to stockholders." southwest slid in the total rankings... too... but stayed on top in one measure -- fewest customer complaints.-- both last year and this year. "it's sort of a controlled chaos, with no seat assignments. they have fun with it. i hope they don't lose that." but some analysts think that could change... and consumers say they are already seeing signs. "they have the corny jokes and everything. but i don't know. i feel like the last flight i went on she was a little moody or something like that." southwest's latest ad campaign debuted during the nc-aa tournament... and featured serious nods to its recent upgrades... like inflight wi-fi -- but no

i like southwest airlines. southwest airlines is america's airline right now.and the near-term target for that is $20 based on this retracement, so we still have 60% to go to get to $20. - so you just said that they are charging for baggage, but southwest is the only one that doesn't charge for baggage, and you like that stock. - they can now charge! - if you don't make money off the tickets- - but southwest has this whole potential revenue stream that they can tap into a little bit. - but they are not doing it at all right now. - but just imagine how much money they can make when- - if i had to choose an airline stock, i would choose lcc with the merger. i think that one is headed higher. we have seen a huge, huge run in 2013 on the airlines. they are starting to pull back. i don't want to buy any just yet. i want to see a little bit more consolidation before they move north again. i don't think this is discrimination. that is like saying these carpool lanes in california are discrimination because two people in there can get in the carpool lane. this is absol

almost all of the added agents were sent to the southwest border. 10,600 went agents to the southwest border and 1,400 of the border patrol and c.p.b. officers went to the northern border. there's a huge disparity here. we try to get into this at times but despite that the terrorist threat is greater at the northern border than it is at the southwest border. nonetheless we see this huge gap in terms of resources, the ones that began -- that were there before 2004 and the ones that have been added since. let me ask you why is this given what the findings are d.h.s. have been that the terrorist threat is greater at the northern border, the amount of trade is far greater, canada is our number one trading partner. that means the risk of that trade is greater because there's for trade. why is this huge disparity? why does it continue, why does it grow? >> senator, thank you. i will let the chief talk to the patrol borders agents in the past decade. speaking of the ports of entry, you're correct. the encounters with terrorist watches individuals are higher on the northern border than on the

that most tornadoes moved southwest to northeast. you fear in that quarter it would strike full on and then you could be more survivable than in the northeast corner. i have friends who are younger than i am when they went to school they were told told to hide in the northeast corner they think that was safest not the southwest corner. but it doesn't make any difference. almost everybody killed by tornadoes is killed by flying debris. now i am making fun of scientists now but once they had found when researching the book when people first came to the midwest and did not know much about tornadoes, the native americans who lived in the prairie at the time to give settler is a vice but when they were willing they told people to build the settlements at the junction of rivers because tornadoes don't cross water. that is also false. so the tradition of bad expert advice goes back hundreds of years. if you live in st. louis that was built at the junction of the two greatest rivers does perfectly well with tornadoes to cross the river at no
