Dr. Rajiv Shah led the efforts of nearly 10,000 staff in more than 70 countries around the world to advance USAID's mission of ending extreme poverty and promoting resilient, democratic societies.
Under Dr. Shah's leadership, USAID applied innovative technologies and engaged the private sector to solve the world's most intractable development challenges. This new model of development brings together an increasingly diverse community—from large companies to local civil society groups to communities of faith—to deliver meaningful results.
Dr. Shah led President Obama's landmark Feed the Future and Power Africa initiatives and has refocused America's global health partnerships to end preventable child death. Feed the Future, alone, has improved nutrition for 12 million children and empowered more than 7 million farmers with climate-smart tools they need to grow their way out of extreme poverty. In April 2014, USAID launched the U.S. Global Development Lab to harness the expertise of the world's brightest scientists, students, and entrepreneurs. At the same time, the newly formed Private Capital Group for Development forges a more strategic relationship between private capital and development.
Dr. Shah also managed the U.S. Government's humanitarian response to catastrophic crises around the world, from the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake to Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines to the Ebola epidemic in West Africa.
Through an extensive set of reforms called "USAID Forward," Dr. Shah worked with the United States Congress to transform USAID into the world's premier development Agency that prioritizes public-private partnerships, innovation, and meaningful results. He currently serves on the boards of the Overseas Private Investment Corporation and the Millennium Challenge Corporation, as well as participates on the National Security Council.
Previously, Dr. Shah served as Undersecretary and Chief Scientist in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he created the National Institute for Food and Agriculture. Prior to joining the Obama Administration, he spent eight years at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where he led efforts in global health, agriculture, and financial services, including the creation of the International Finance Facility for Immunization.
He is a graduate of the University of Michigan, the University of Pennsylvania Medical School, and the Wharton School of Business. He regularly appears in the media and has delivered keynote addresses before the U.S. Military Academy, the National Prayer Breakfast, and diverse audiences across Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Dr. Shah was awarded the Distinguished Service Award by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He has served as a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, been named to Fortune's 40 Under 40, and has received multiple honorary degrees.
He lives in Washington, D.C. with his wife Shivam Mallick Shah and three children and has given up mountain climbing for family bicycle rides.
At the Washington Call to Action, you announced that India will remain in the forefront of the global efforts against child mortality, acknowledging India's potential to greatly reduce preventable child deaths. Today's summit proves the commitment of India's leaders to both the global community and the children of India. The U.S. Government is proud to be a part of this initiative, and we look forward to working with the Government of India on addressing critical child survival issues.
USAID is proud to be part of this new Commercial Farm Services Program, one of many projects we have here in Ethiopia that form part of the U.S. President's Feed the Future Initiative. I am very pleased to see this group here today working together to achieve our common goals: to provide smallholder farmers with the tools that enable them to earn a decent livelihood and contribute to the development of their country.
I am pleased to represent the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the American people today at the 2nd Annual Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) - Cooperatives Forum, supported by USAID's Agribusiness Market Development (AMDe) activity.
Over three intense days we have seen how countries who have committed to reducing child mortality face great challenges and achieve progress by using proven cost–effective and high impact interventions, building health care delivery systems, working directly with and on the community level, investing in the education of girls and women, and by forging political will and determination. These improvements in maternal, infant, and child health are critical for overall development of nations.
Since the Legislative Research Program began more than a year ago, USAID has worked with the to strengthen the capacity to provide National Assembly members and staff with greater in-depth information and analysis on critical laws and policies.
The U.S. Government launched the EC-LEDS initiative more than two years ago to support developing country-led efforts to accelerate their economic growth, achieve their development goals, and address climate change. Vietnam was one of our first partners and we are privileged to work with you in this endeavor.
Haleh described my official title as Deputy Administrator, and that's what it says on the website. I help provide overall direction and management for the Agency, with an emphasis on the Middle East and Africa, oversee implementation of USAID Forward and advancement of presidential initiatives such as food security, global health, climate change, and democracy and governance. But in this small intimate environment –webcast throughout the world—I'm going to let you in on a little secret.
My real day job is to ensure that all our development efforts are implemented in an inclusive manner, in particular drawing on the contributions of previously marginalized and disempowered groups, whether that is women, people with disabilities, indigenous groups, youth, the LGBT community, and religious and ethnic minorities. They must be at the center of our work, and they must be planners, implementers and beneficiaries of all of our development efforts. We have a watchword we use at USAID, "Nothing about them without them."
USAID is proud to be a partner with the GVN in these important efforts to improve the quality of life for people with disabilities. Since 1989, the U.S. Government has provided over $54 million in assistance to people with disabilities, regardless of cause. In collaboration with the GVN and partners such as the Vietnam Assistance to the Handicapped, we have been able to contribute to the development of Vietnam's National Law on Disability, Accessibility Codes and Standards for public transportation, public construction and access to information. In addition, we have been contributing to the establishment of the Blue Ribbon Employer Council that promotes employment for PWDs, the establishment of the National Coordinating Council on Disabilities and the Vietnam Disability Federation to promote enforcement of the disability law and policies.
It is my pleasure to represent the United States Government and the American people at this grant signing ceremony for the Sustaining Malaria Reduction Interventions in Ethiopia program. First, I would like to begin by congratulating Dr. Kesetebirhan, on his promotion to Minister of Health and thank him for his long-standing commitment and contribution to public health and especially to malaria control efforts in Ethiopia.
Today's action plan is an unprecedented approach to coordinate the efforts of more than 30 government offices within seven agencies in 100 countries and to unite them with a common purpose, with three core objectives: Every child survives and gets healthy food, Every child grows up in the protective and nurturing embrace of a family, and Every child is safe from violence and exploitation.
We've always known that achieving these goals is within our power, but today—for the first time—we have a real, evidence-based, results-oriented plan to get us there. It is a plan that doesn't just describe our aspirations, but outlines specific and achievable outcomes we must deliver. And it is a plan that doesn't just describe the challenges we face, but cites specific scientific studies that underpin our learning and inform our new approaches.

LOCKPORT – The president of the Niagara County Board of Health blasted state policies on flu vaccine distribution during Thursday's board meeting.
Dr. Jerome Ulatowski II of Lewiston, a pediatrician, said he has 1,000 doses of flu vaccine in his office that he can't use because state rules restrict its use to children in low-income families.
The vaccine came through the Vaccine for Children program, but Ulatowski said that doesn't seem to mean all children.
"The people who work, pay taxes, can't get the vaccine they're paying for," Ulatowski said. "What will happen at the end of the flu season when I still have vaccine? … I can't give it to people who are, unfortunately, employed."
Ulatowski took a shot at Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, who said he took action during the flu outbreak to remove all barriers to vaccine distribution.
"I tried to redistribute vaccine for children vaccines and was turned down," the pediatrician said. "To me, that's a barrier that was not pulled out."
Public Health Director Daniel J. Stapleton said it's not always easy to get vaccine to the poor, either. He said the state turned down the county's suggestion to offer flu shots at a soup kitchen, even though Stapleton said the county has done things like that before.
"That's a problem if we're supposed to serve the most vulnerable," Stapleton said. "We had to send [the vaccine] back."
Ulatowski said, "It's unfair distribution of resources in a city or a state. We're restricting it based on income. It's wrong."
Kathleen Cavagnaro, county director of nursing services, said the county still has some flu shots left in the wake of a special clinic Thursday. She said some adult vaccine for those who have insurance or can pay on their own is still available, along with some Vaccine for Children shots.
Appointments may be made by calling 278-1903, Cavagnaro said.
Four children have died in New York State from the flu this winter, she said.
On another topic, Stapleton reported that the county successfully transferred all its home care patients to the Catholic Health System before the end-of-the-year deadline. "We met that deadline by one day," he said.
The County Legislature voted last year to sell the county's home health care license to Catholic Health for $2.65 million.

With the launch of SEGA's gruesome action shooter Aliens vs. Predator just around the corner, now's the time to remember the games that make gamers' nerves shred the most. We did so huddled under our duvet with our torch very much on - we're wimps, obviously. But you don't have to read this top 10 that way. You might want to keep the lights on, though.
Dead Space
"It's quiet, too quiet." That immortal phrase is vocal shorthand for "things are about to get ugly", and so often it proves in Visceral's sci-fi horror. Atmospheric music, superb lighting, and an abandoned spaceship combine to form the video game equivalent of cult sci-fi horror flick Event Horizon. Gah.
BioShock 2
A Big Sister screams, the screen shakes, and then your heart pounds. 2K Games' follow-up to Ken Levine's critically acclaimed BioShock does a wonderful job of making you cack your pants as you desperately prepare for the inevitable: in all likelihood your very own death.

quote: A switch to a first-to-file patent regime from its first-to-invent system has become imminent for the U.S. To learn about probable effects of such a policy change, we examine a similar switch that occurred in Canada in 1989. We find that the switch failed to stimulate Canadian R&D efforts. Nor did it have any effects on overall patenting. However, the reforms had a small adverse effect on domestic-oriented industries and skewed the ownership structure of patented inventions towards large corporations, away from independent inventors and small businesses. These findings challenge the merits of adopting a first-to-file patent regime.
quote: And again, companies like to file in the US first to take advantage of our old system, rather than file in "the rest of the world" first. So what does that tell you? When that is no longer available to them, then the effects of FTF in other countries will become more apparent as well. To what degree, is hard to say until we see it happen.

Feb. 3, 1925 – July 9, 2013
Richard J. Borowiak, a trucking company executive who was active in the Shrine and the Republican Party, died unexpectedly Tuesday after becoming ill in his home in Eden. He was 88.
Born in Buffalo, he was placed in the German Roman Catholic Orphan Home when he was 11 after the death of his mother. Three years later, he persuaded the priests to release him. While attending Burgard Vocational High School, he got his driver's license, lying about his age, and began his career as an over-the-road trucker.
He enlisted in the Army a month after Pearl Harbor and served stateside for more than four years, then returned to truck driving.
Mr. Borowiak and a partner formed Lake Erie Transportation Co. in 1962 and he served as vice president. In 1968, they purchased another trucking company, George W. Burnett Inc., which became a division of Lake Erie Transportation, and he served as its president. He continued working until his death.
He was a life member of the Republican National Committee and a member of the New York State Republican Committee and the Republican Senatorial Inner Circle. As a delegate to a Republican presidential convention, he met Ronald Reagan.
A devoted Shriner, Mr. Borowiak was involved in many activities at Ismailia Temple, where he was chief of staff in 1985. He was a member of the Chanters, the Provost Guard, the Mini Kar Corps, the Buccaneers, the Camel Herders and the PHDs.
He was chairman of several activities and raised funds for the Hospital Travel Fund. He served on the board of directors of the Shrine Hospital in Erie, Pa., from 1985 to 1987. He also was a member of the Royal Order of Jesters, Court 22.
Also a dedicated Mason, Mr. Borowiak was a member of Living Stone Lodge 255, Free & Accepted Masons; the Scottish Rite Consistory, Valley of Buffalo; Mount Sinai Chapter 293, Royal Arch Masons; and Lake Erie Commandery 20, Knights Templar.
An Eden resident since 1962, he was a former member of the Buffalo Launch Club, the Hamburg Power Squadron, the Eden Chamber of Commerce and the Antique Auto Club of America. His favorite car was a 1931 Packard.
Surviving are his wife of 20 years, the former Marian Zamorski, and a daughter, Pamela Martines.
A Mass of Christian Burial will be offered at 10 a.m. Friday in Immaculate Conception Catholic Church, 8791 S. Main St., Eden.

PITTSBURGH - There were two franchise quarterbacks working at Heinz Field on Sunday, and they turned into two mediocre performances.
Neither Ben Roethlisberger nor San Diego's Phillip Rivers had his best game in the Chargers' 34-24 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Roethlisberger returned after missing three and a half games with rib and shoulder injuries. He completed 22 of 42 passes for 285 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. His passer rating was 87.9.
Rivers hit on 21 of 41 attempts for 200 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions. His passer rating was 89.5.
"I feel OK," Roethlisberger said. "I have to make more plays and do more to help this team win."
Roethlisberger beefed up some of his stats with the Steelers' late finish. They scored three touchdowns in the second half. He was also hurt by the lack of an effective running game and some dropped passes by receivers.
Asked what went wrong, Roethlisberger said, "A little bit of this, and a little bit of that. A lot of this, and a lot of that. It was frustrating."
Roethlisberger was wearing special protective equipment to protect his injuries. That included a bulky vest that had to affect his ability to throw the ball. Despite being injured and forced from the game against Kansas City on Nov. 12, Roethlisberger didn't seem reluctant to run when he had to.
"I wasn't going to hold back," he said. "We knew they're a good defense and they like to get after the quarterback. I was prepared to do it if I had to, and I wasn't going to have any reservations about doing it."
Roethlisberger ran the ball five times for 31 yards, including a 10-yard gain. He was sacked twice for losses of 14 yards.
"Right now I feel OK," Roethlisberger said. "I'll let you know tomorrow if I'm not feeling good."
The Steelers trailed by 24 points in the second half, but coach Mike Tomlin said he didn't consider pulling Roethlisberger to protect him from the possibility of further injury.
"We're competitors, as is he," Tomlin said. "We're going to allow competitors to compete."
Tomlin's assessment of Roethlisberger's performance: "Physically I thought he was fine. Obviously we'd like to be more productive, but that's a function of all our efforts. I appreciate his, but it wasn't enough today."
Going for two?
Down by the 24 points, the Steelers wound up scoring three touchdowns. Yet they didn't attempt a two-point conversion on any of them.
"Until we stopped them, it was going to be insignificant," Tomlin said. "I was holding the two-point plays for that reason, and that reason only. Now we still have them in our hip pocket.
"Those specialty plays we don't want to put on tape unless we had the opportunity to close the gap. As you can see, we didn't."
Asked about eschewing the two-point attempts, Roethlisberger said, "That is coach's call. Whatever he says, we do."
Bold call
San Diego coach Norv Turner called for a fake punt in the third quarter with his team on its own 28.
It worked. The direct snap went to back Eric Weddle, and he ran four yards on fourth-and-2. The Chargers didn't score on the drive, but wound up holding the ball for almost nine more minutes.
"I think people know we have that in our arsenal and we have called it probably in a number of games," Turner said. "Sometimes you don't get the look, and you get out of it. We got the look that we felt comfortable we could get the first down."
Said Tomlin, "We had to make a play there, and we didn't. They did, and tip my hat to those guys."
Bad spot
The Steelers lost the battle of field position.
In the first half, they didn't get into San Diego territory until they managed a field goal drive just before the half ended.
The Steelers started five of their 14 drives inside their own 10 and eight inside their own 15.
"[Field position] was a big factor," Tomlin said.
Receiver Mike Wallace said, "It doesn't matter whether we start from the 2 or the 20 or the 40. We have to make plays when we are given the opportunity. We just haven't been doing that."
One of the few first-half drives that started with decent field position, the Steelers got the ball at their own 38. But they failed to make a first down, and turned the ball over on downs when Isaac Redman was stopped for no gain on fourth-and-1.
Bad call?
A pivotal call in the game was the lateral that caromed off tight end David Paulson into the end zone, where it was recovered for a touchdown by San Diego's Quentin Jammer.
The call was reviewed on replay and upheld, but the Steelers maintained it was a forward pass and not a lateral.
If it was a pass, it would have been ruled incomplete and the Steelers would have maintained possession.
"I didn't think it was a lateral," Tomlin said. "We run a lot of those plays. They're forward passes. I was surprised that it was ruled a lateral, then surprised that it wasn't overturned. But I've been surprised before."
Like old times
Roethlisberger had his first completion to Plaxico Burress since 2004.
Burress joined the Steelers in time for last week's game, but this was the first time he played with Roethlisberger at quarterback.
Burress caught an 18-yard pass from Roethlisberger amid three defenders in the first quarter. He used his height and leaping ability to pull down the ball.
"It was a good play," Roethlisberger said. "It was nice to get him back in there and hear the crowd cheer for him."
Burress was targeted just one other time in the game. Roethlisberger was asked why Burress wasn't used more.
"Did you ask coach that?" Roethlisberger replied.
First time
The Chargers had won playoff games in Pittsburgh, but were 0-14 in the regular season.
"That was my trial week," quarterback Phillip Rivers said. "We have a close team and a tough team. We have a team that will never quit."
No hangover
Veteran nose tackle Casey Hampton dismissed the suggestion the Steelers were flat after last week's emotional win at Baltimore.
"That stuff is overrated," he said. "We're trying to get to the playoffs, so that's never going to be an excuse."
Losing day
Baltimore and Cincinnati both lost, so the Steelers gave up a chance to gain some ground.
On the other hand, their position with Cincinnati didn't worsen, either.
"We're in control, but we can't go out there and play like we did today in the last three games," offensive lineman Maurkice Pouncey said. "That can't happen if we want to be where we want to be at the end of the season. I think we did a poor job today. We have to go back to work and try to turn this thing around."
Summing up
Tomlin's opening statement said a lot before a question was even asked:
"An unfortunate, poor performance by us today. By that, I mean all of us. We coached poorly, we played poorly. It's a shame, given the opportunity that was in front of us, but it is what it is. We don't seek comfort. We accept responsibility for it."
SUBHEAD: Making changes
Newly-signed cornerback Josh Victorian got into the game as a replacement for Curtis Brown.
"They were attacking Curtis some, particularly on third downs," Tomlin said. "He wasn't being successful enough."
Brown was beaten on Rivers' 39-yard touchdown pass to Danario Alexander in the second quarter. Brown bit on a stutter step move and Alexander streaked past him to make an uncontested catch.
SUBHEAD: Injury report
Left guard Willie Colon left the game in the second quarter when he reinjured his left knee.
Tomlin also listed these injuries: "Ryan Clark fell on his hip again. Emmanuel Sanders, AC [knee] joint again. Troy [Polamalu] missed a little bit of time with his Achilles again, but he was able to go back in."
Tomlin said the Steelers would know more about the injuries today.
SUBHEAD: Stats and streaks
Heath Miller caught five passes and is two receptions from 400 in his career. Only Hines Ward (1,000) and John Stallworth (537) have more with the Steelers.
Shaun Suisham made his only field goal try and has converted his last 14 attempts.
Rookie Drew Butler had a 79-yard punt to the Chargers' 1. It is the second only to Joe Geri's 82-yard punt at Green Bay on Nov. 20, 1949 in team history.

For Francis Marion University senior Asa Fludd, the decision to switch his major to something he loved was a costly one.
Fludd, a graduate of Timberland High School, has had to rely on student loans, like most students, to finance his education.
But now, increasing student loans rates are one less thing Fludd and other students do not have to worry about — at least until next year. The House gave final congressional approval Wednesday to bipartisan legislation linking student loan interest rates to the financial markets. The impact: lower rates for most students now but higher ones down the line if the economy improves as expected.
Undergraduates this fall would borrow at a 3.9 percent interest rate for subsidized and unsubsidized loans. Graduate students would have access to loans at 5.4 percent, and parents would borrow at 6.4 percent. The rates would be locked in for that year's loan, but each year's loan could be more expensive than the last. Rates would rise as the economy picks up and it becomes more expensive for the government to borrow money.
Fludd learned from the school's financial aid office this week that this upcoming school year must be his last because he will not be able to receive any more loans. He has to cram in extra classes to make up for staying an extra year for his new major.
He started college as an education major, partly because of tuition assistance, especially for African American males entering the profession. But he decided to switch to English after realizing he wants to become a technical writer.
"I found something I would be happy with, but I know at the end of the day it is going to be a sacrifice," Fludd said of paying back his loans.
Student body presidents, such as University of South Carolina senior and Fort Dorchester High School graduate Chase Mizzell, did not take the possible increase lightly.
In June, Mizzell traveled to Washington, D.C. with the National Campus Leadership Council to discuss student loan rates with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, White House Youth Liaison Ronnie Cho and other Department of Education representatives. His predecessor, student body president Kenny Tracy, had already started working on the issue in 2012 and was part of a conference call on student loan rates with President Obama.
"The vote to base loan rates on financial markets is a move in a positive direction as it gives a logical basis to the price of student loans," Mizzell said in an email.
He represents students such as Alyssa Lang, a University of South Carolina broadcast journalism junior from Huntersville, N.C., who also relies on student loans to finance her education.
Lang comes from a middle-class family and worries about being a burden to her parents, who will have to start financing her brother's college education when she graduates. Her parents provide her money for food and she works to pay other expenses, like gas.
"I know there's really not much else I would want to do with my life. I'll just try to get the best job I can. It's really intimidating," Lang said of her career as a sports broadcaster. She is currently interning for a local news station and will continue to work with them during school.
Mizzell said that although scholarships and in-state tuition have allowed him to avoid student loans personally, it still affects him and everyone else in America.
"The financial independence and discretionary spending of millions of current and former students who have student loans will affect our entire economy," Mizzell said.
The next step for the bill would be to send it to the White House, where President Barack Obama is expected to sign it into law.
Negotiators of the Senate compromise were mindful of the House-passed version, as well as the White House preference to shift responsibility for interest rates to the financial markets. The resulting bipartisan bill passed the Senate 81-18.
Interest rates would not top 8.25 percent for undergraduates. Graduate students would not pay rates higher than 9.5 percent, and parents' rates would top out at 10.5 percent. Using Congressional Budget Office estimates, rates would not reach those limits in the next 10 years.
The White House and its allies said the new loan structure would offer lower rates to 11 million borrowers right away and save the average undergraduate $1,500 in interest charges.
The Congressional Budget Office estimated the bill as written would reduce the deficit by $715 million over the next decade. During that same time, federal loans would be a $1.4 trillion program.

"No, no, no," he told PEOPLE when asked about his role in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII. "I can't say anything."
The Irish actor, 31, was in Orlando, Florida, for the VIP and media preview of the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley. (He played older Weasley brother Bill in the films.) Some fans have speculated that he will be playing Luke Skywalker's son in the new trilogy.
Also in attendance: Warwick Davis, who played Ewok Wicket in the original Star Wars trilogy and likewise appeared in the Potter films. (He did double duty as Professor Flitwick and Griphook the goblin.)
Davis, 44, says he recently visited the famed Pinewood Studios outside London, where the film is now shooting – and he's hoping for a role in it.
"It was exciting going to Pinewood," he says. "There's a big sign on the wall that says, 'Episode VII Filming Now.' What a wonderful thought that everybody's back together, the classic cast and some brilliant new additions as well. I'm a fan anyway – I was back when I was 7. I would love to be in the new film. I've dropped a lot of hints!"

Saturday, September 28, 2013
It was every bit the test Chuck Reedy thought it would be.
And like the 30 before it, the Goose Creek Gators walked off the field winners.
The Gators stayed unbeaten and extended their winning streak to 31 games, knocking off Dutch Fork 35-21 on homecoming in a battle of Top 5 Class AAAA teams at Fulmer Field on Friday night.
"This football team we beat tonight is one of the best five or six teams in the state by anybody's calculations," Reedy said. "They're right up there. This gives us a pretty good gauge that if we work hard and continue getting better every week that we've got a chance to make a good run."
Goose Creek, ranked as high as No. 2, piled up 460 rushing yards in moving to 5-0, scoring twice in the third quarter to overcome a 21-20 halftime deficit.
Quarterback Dantez Bennamon netted 189 yards on the ground and scored on runs of 83 and 57 yards to power Goose Creek to a 20-7 advantage in the first half. Tailback Caleb Kinlaw (120) and fullback Evan McField (104) each topped the 100-yard mark and scored once. Bennamon also passed for 63 yards.
"We preached all week that we had to play 48 minutes of physical football and in the end that would win out," Reedy said. "I think that certainly we played with great effort for 48 minutes."
Dutch Fork fell to 4-1 but proved worthy of its No. 4 ranking, getting 361 yards passing from quarterback Derek Olenchuck. The Silver Foxes lost leading rusher Matt Colburn early in the second quarter and ended up throwing the ball 46 times.
Olenchuck's 6-yard pass to K.J. Williams, and ensuing extra point by Tyler Bass, with 24 seconds left in the second quarter put Goose Creek in rare position. It was the first time the Gators faced a deficit at half since the playoffs in 2009 against North Augusta.
Like that game, which they ironically also won 35-21, the Gators responded.
First, they stopped the Silver Foxes on a fourth-and-2 at the Goose Creek 36 and then marched down for the go-ahead score.
Kinlaw's 19-yard touchdown scamper capped the 64-yard drive with 6:15 left in the third. Tyrik Johnson later scored on an 18-yard run to cap an 80-yard drive with 49 seconds left in the period.
The Gators defense, while giving up some yards, kept the Foxes out of the end zone in the second half. Goose Creek held five times on fourth-down plays in the game, twice inside the 10.
"The way the defense played in the second half was the best thing that came out of this," Reedy said. "The progress we've made defensively is exceptional. We played with great effort and we kept the ball in front of us. We didn't give up any big plays. To hold them several times on fourth down and hold them around the goal line a couple times was huge. I can't say enough about our defensive coaches and players."
Gators defensive coordinator Chris Candor said Colburn leaving the game with an injury likely moved Dutch Fork away from its original gameplan and the Silver Foxes began to spread it out more and throw.
"We had game planned all week for what they had done the last three weeks," he said. "He's a good back. He's great… It looked like they made the adjustment to say 'hey, we're going to throw the ball more often.' We had to make the adjustment and it took us a while to get it figured out."
Colburn entered with over 800 yards and 13 touchdowns rushing. He finished with eight carries for 37 yards and one catch for six yards on Friday.
The most productive play for Dutch Fork ended up being a pass from Olenchuk to receiver Deion Frasier. He caught 14 passes for 140 yards and a touchdown. Austin Connor added a 27-yard touchdown grab for Dutch Fork.
The Gators had 232 yards on three scoring drives to start the game. McField's two-yard plunge made it 6-0 and Bennamon's scoring plays gave the Gators a 20-7 lead.
Going in for another score, Goose Creek lost a fumble at Dutch Fork's 5.
Connor's touchdown grab then pulled Dutch Fork within 20-14 in the second quarter and the Silver Foxes pounced on another Gators fumble in the red zone.
Williams' catch ended an 85-yard drive and put Goose Creek in the hole after two quarters. The Gators had two extra points blocked in the opening half.
But the win streak is still alive thanks to a strong second half.
The Gators travel to Beaufort, Carolina Forest and Cane Bay over the next three weeks.
"We've got some long rides ahead," Candor said. "Those are tough for high school kids that have been in school all day. It's always tough to play on the road."

My eye is ok. Thanks for the well wishes. It is still a bit tender today. Will probably wear a helmet to bed tonight.
It's been a lovely, productive day and every dish in our house is clean- meaning our cupboards are now bursting. Not everything fits when it is all clean. Hmmm.
Ashlee & I were planning to take the little ones to the circus (non-animal) tonight but we're both feeling a bit out of it. And then I thought, why should I pay for a non-animal circus when I can see one for free right here at home? Actually right now I am willing to pay to be able to leave this non-animal circus.

5 Dating Sites for Terrible People to Find Terrible Love
#5. Match.com
The Girl:
Brooklyn Dakota Washington, from Match.com -- a place for lonely people who aren't good at talking to find other lonely people who aren't good at talking to talk to.
The Date:
When I walked into the Internet gaming cafe that I'd tricked Brooklyn into coming to, my heart skipped a beat. It does that sometimes. The doctors are baffled as to why, exactly, and my explanation -- that I'd taught my own heart to beat to the tune of Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" -- did nothing to assuage their worries. Luckily, my lack of health insurance did that instead. When the blackness that forever lives at the edges of my vision receded, I saw an angel standing uncertainly between two chubby Koreans swearing at computer screens.
"I like my coffee like I like my women," I said, sidling up to her.
"I don't like where this is going," she answered instantly. God, she was sharp. She saw it coming early, and if her ass kept bouncing around nervously like that, she'd see something else coming early soon enough.
"Full of my own semen," I suavely finished.
"Yep. That was it," Brooklyn answered, then stomped her way out of the double doors at GameBryoz, and my heart, forever.
That was weird. That went exactly like every other date I've ever had with a normal. Are these "Internetizens" just as shockingly prude and standards-having as real people? No, no surely that can't be the case. I've seen the Internet. It's terrible. So it might just be this particular site; sure, it's the biggest, but maybe it's like the Playboy to hardcore pornography. And just like porn, I'm probably going to have to go to some weird, shameful, possibly illegal places before I get my rocks off. Somewhere like ...
#4. Sugardaddyforme
The Girl:
Sandra Byrd, from Sugardaddyforme.com -- a place for very loyal or lazy whores to ply their trade.
The Date:
"Did it hurt?" I asked Sandra when I first met her in the window booth at the Chuck E. Cheese's on 92nd. She'd agreed to the location in part because, no matter how the date went, it would at least make for a nice outing for her many, many stupid, stupid children, and in part because I'd offered to "make it rain in that bitch."
Right off the bat, I could see she looked nothing like her picture. She was a bit on the chubby side, and looked like somebody had rode Daryl Hannah hard, put her away wet and then hit her with a taser. The ass of her pants insisted that their contents were "Juicy," and I had no cause to doubt the veracity of that statement. I suspected she may have just pasted a stock photo model into a fake online dating profile. What kind of sociopath does that?
"Did what hurt?" she asked, without glancing up from her keypad. I stole a peek down at the screen. It was all rapidly cascading text, like hacking into the Matrix, but instead of code it was just the words "LOL" over and over again, repeating to infinity.
Looking back, I don't actually recall there being a recipient.
"When you fell from Heaven," I continued, with suavity.
At that, she finally tore her eyes from the pseudo-binary of endless LOLOL-ing, and flashed me a timid smile ... which broke the second I finished my sentence: "Surely, the G-forces from a fall like that would've shattered your femurs, at the least; it might explain why you walk like you do. It's like you've got rickets and hemorrhoids, like John Wayne with anal fissures, like you're trying to straddle a cact-"
She got up to leave, and I panicked a little.
"MONEY!" I shouted, whipping open my wallet.
She paused at the door and turned hesitantly back toward me.
"You want a provider, right? Check this shit out," I said proudly, thumbing through the thick wad of bills.
Her eyes went wide and a saucy little string of drool chased its way across her jowl (like, literally, though -- it was tinged with some kind of sauce). But when she got a closer look, she too scoffed, and turned to leave me.
"Those are Chuck E. Dollars! You can spend those on ANYTHING!" I cried. "Anything in the case! They got whistles and tiny combs and pewter skull rings and I think I saw some Gak in there!"
But it was too late. She was gone, and with her went a piece of my heart, plus I think she took my sunglasses too.
Something still wasn't right. I just wasn't finding the kind of amoral psychopathy that I'm accustomed to on the Internet. I wanted the kind of girl that wouldn't just be a lover, but an accomplice. The kind of girl that that would help you steal a wheelchair from a Goodwill because you twisted an ankle and it's a long way to the bus (but mostly because chair-wheelies are the funnest). The kind of girl who would love you -- not in spite of your compassionless resentment for everybody that's not you, but because of it.
Sandra wasn't that girl, but I think I knew where to find her ...
#3. The Atlasphere
The Girl:
Kaitlyn Purdy, from The Atlasphere -- an objectivist dating site. That's totally true, and way funnier than anything I could come up with here.
The Date:
Kaitlyn brought a wolf for me to fight, and refused to speak to me until I'd bested it in battle.
I did so, easily. Because there are three things that I'm the tits at: Barbecuing, Mega Man 2 and finding lupine pressure points.
I thought we'd mack a little after that, but she just laugh-cried manically over the wolf corpse until her face turned purple. Also, she was driving an Aztek and that's literally my only deal breaker.
So the normals wanted safety, the whores wanted real money and the objectivists wanted to have their Wolf Duels and their living wolves, too. It seems like the main problem with dating these days is that everybody wants something. So what about the man who has nothing to offer? What about the man who has nothing valuable to contribute, say, think or do? Where is his place on the Internet?

on March 26, 2013 - 1:00 AM
, updated March 26, 2013 at 7:10 AM
The first quarterly update filed by Buffalo's distinguished educator doesn't exactly give the school district high marks, but it does verify what a lot of people already suspected, and that is that new Superintendent Pamela C. Brown still has a lot to prove. She'd better hurry.
A joint effort by Brown and Distinguished Educator Judy L. Elliott, the 19-page report is an outline of contradictions.
Elliott basically sees conditions hardly changing since Brown took the helm back in July and, worse, few plans in place to address upcoming grant shortages, attendance gains that may have been inflated due to a new attendance-tracking system, principals who are not required to attend training that has been provided and a district about to lose several million dollars a year in federal grants with no clear plan to compensate for the loss.
Brown sees things differently. She points to progress in key areas such as student attendance in the 28 lowest-performing schools, short-term suspensions, higher Regents exam scores and more eligible high school seniors applying to college.
Signs of progress are evident and Brown may have played a larger role than most would know in getting to those better statistics, but her role is unclear, partly because of her reluctance to share. By all accounts, she has been somewhat withdrawn in her approach and while that might be a refreshing change from her bombastic predecessor, Brown should want to press her case more loudly.
Meantime, the entry of Say Yes to Education and the promise of a fully paid college education after federal assistance has started to sink in with parents and students. It's a huge motivating factor in getting those eligible seniors to apply to college.
And Say Yes, along with the Oishei Foundation and the Community Foundation for Greater Buffalo, have collectively donated more than $550,000 toward a contract with a consulting firm to help Brown determine how to restructure the central office.
It's a huge task that needed tackling from the beginning of her time here. Let's hope the services of an interim deputy superintendent, provided by the consulting firm, help Brown in that restructuring process.
Elliott found more knocks against the status of the district than Brown would obviously prefer. The superintendent should defend herself, but Brown has to reflect on the number of criticisms the distinguished educator found. As Elliott said, "The principals will tell you: 'Rome is burning.' That's a quote they use all the time in meetings."
Brown's job is to change that quote.
And it should be the job of those serving the public to share information on the status of the school district. It took two months and constant requests by The News to the state Education Department before the report was finally released.
The reason for the delay is unclear, but what is clear is that the State Education Department shouldn't be so reluctant to share with the public the findings of a much-anticipated report by a highly compensated expert.
Elliott's opinion about the direction of a beleaguered urban school district with a 50 percent graduation rate and under the direction of a new superintendent is critically important. Follow-up reports should be promptly released.
Read the first quarterly update here.

Paul George scored 27 points and led a comeback from an eight-point halftime deficit to help the Indiana Pacers improve on the best record in the Eastern Conference with a 97-82 win over the Boston Celtics on Friday night.
Trailing 50-42 at halftime, Indiana outscored Boston 25-8 in the third quarter to take a 67-58 lead. It was the Celtics' lowest scoring quarter of the season. The Pacers kept rolling with a 30-24 fourth quarter and improved to 11-1.
George had 22 points in the second half.
Jordan Crawford had a season-high 24 points, but just five in the second half, and Jeff Green added 20 for the Celtics, who lost their sixth straight game to drop to 4-10 after winning four in a row.

Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va., claims to be a friend to Mountain State coal miners and others who depend on the industry. But actions speak louder than words, and Rockefeller's have been anything but helpful to the coal industry.
President Barack Obama's war against coal affects virtually every American adversely. It will devastate states such was West Virginia and Ohio, for obvious reasons. In addition it will send electricity prices soaring for tens of millions of household and business consumers. And now, as the Environmental Protection Agency scrambles to find any excuse to attack coal, it will make construction of highways, bridges and perhaps even buildings more costly.
EPA officials' newest angle of attack involves the ash left behind when coal is burned. For decades that ash has been used as a key ingredient in much of the concrete used in the United States. Some engineers believe it makes that building material stronger; it certainly holds down cost.
Now the EPA - which just a few years ago recommended use of coal ash in concrete - wants to regulate the substance as a hazardous material.
At one time Rockefeller said he opposed the plan. But when Rep. David McKinley, R-W.Va., introduced an amendment to block the EPA, while establishing reasonable coal ash rules, Rockefeller changed his mind. He said the amendment, to a $120 billion transportation bill, should not be approved by the Senate because it was "extraneous." He also criticized inclusion of "an environmental question" in the transportation measure.
Really? The bill as enacted included many "extraneous" amendments, such as one on student loan interest rates. Also tucked into the measure was an environmental issue concerning Asian carp in the Great Lakes.
McKinley, perhaps working with our state's other senator, Democrat Joe Manchin, should not give up on the coal ash measure. Clearly, however, he and others worried about Obama's war on coal can expect little or no help from Rockefeller.

Just mention that you are supporting breast cancer awareness and you will receive adoration at the range - http://ww5.komen.org/
My mother-in-law had breast cancer and I actively support the pink ribbon (have pink ribbons on some of my gear like the range bag/hat - goes well with tactical/ballistic black nylon :D).
February 1, 2013, 10:24 PM
I sure as hell would, a 30 round mag is a 30 round mag. as long as it functions properly, i dont really care that its pink... if it really bothered me, i'd paint it.
February 1, 2013, 10:26 PM
Heck yeah!...will go great with the pink AR I'm going to build for my daughter. :)

Not even considering the color I wouldn't pay $30 for a AR magazine.
I agree with this completely!
As for the color, I would buy them. My wife has a purple AR and is building a pink one. She also has a pink and black S&W AR15-22, and....a pink Charter Arms 38, and.....purple grips on a 1911, and.....
I've thought on many occasions of building a yellow AR and would like to get matching yellow mags if I did. I currently have a lime green AR and have been thinking of painting at least one mag to match.
February 1, 2013, 11:38 PM
Price is the biggest issue there. $30 for those mags is not a good deal.
Mags should return to a better price range. I hope.
If $30 is not your concern then here you go for some black/gray 30rd mags.

Is that the new P-Mag?

doesn't matter if its black or white. or pink.
February 1, 2013, 11:50 PM
Just like the last AWB, I really don't think prices will ever go back to ''normal''. Oh there won't be any $120.00 surplus 30 round magazines on Cheaper than Dirt, and you'll be able to hit Gunboards and pick up a deal every now or then from some old guy [OK, I'm an old guy] cashing out on his collection, but I think $30.00 is going to end up being about average.
February 1, 2013, 11:54 PM
spray paint is cheap..

Why not?
February 2, 2013, 12:00 AM

pink really bothers some of ya'll?
Lex Luthier
February 2, 2013, 08:51 AM
The whole "pink" movement has had some positive impact, sure. There are many sources who believe breast cancer is indelibly linked to abortion, so if you are pro-life, you might want to check out some of that information before getting too wound up and inadvertently associate yourself with the wrong gang.
A social campaign like this is a perfect way for one side of the aisle to make a popular point while obfuscating a very negative correlation. Hope this post does not violate any forum rules, but to me taking the High Road means getting all the facts.
February 2, 2013, 08:53 AM
Not for $30.
February 2, 2013, 08:57 AM
Just like the last AWB, I really don't think prices will ever go back to ''normal''.
3 months ago you could get a new AR15 for under $700 and mags under $13, that's pretty normal to me.
February 2, 2013, 08:59 AM
I might buy them if part of the profit was going to save the ta-ta's - but that does not seem to be the case from what I can tell. They are just regular mags that happen to be spray painted pink.
I could probably buy cheaper, and spray them myself if that was the color I wanted.
February 2, 2013, 09:15 AM
In NY prebans were avg. $30ish (now they are illegal) Now everyone feels what it is like a little bit living in a free state like NY. Over priced mags, possibility on restrictions always looming, ridiculous claims by local and state politicians etc, etc. If you think it cant come your way, think again.
Just to ad if I legal I would pay 30 for new mags. But i've been conditioned that mags are expensive and hard to come by.

Well, I have a Yugo M70AB2 Kalashnikov style rifle, a M1 carbine, a M91/30 Mosin Nagant rifle, CZ52 pistol, C96 Mauser pistol, Webley MkIV revolver, etc. and when I go looking for accessories (like at the gunshow at the Civic Auditorium today), I tend to look for authentic, as-issued magazines, clips, pouches, slings, and gear, more as a curio or collectible historic item.
If I were to get an AR, my first choice would be an AR-15 matching my original 1966 qualification rifle: no forward assist, triangle hand guard, etc., and matching 1960s era kit--sling, magazines, pouches, etc.
However, if I were to build a modern sporting AR rifle, I would want one along the lines of an M4 flat top, but with bull barrel. And if I were to have it duracoated chartreuse green, those mags advertised would be the purr-fecto cat's meow match up.
February 2, 2013, 09:59 AM
Powder coated pink PMAGs? Sign me up for 10. These....not so much.
February 2, 2013, 10:02 AM
No, not even if they were black.
I agree, not for $30 a piece.
February 2, 2013, 10:22 AM
Not a chance.
While my consumer self might say it's capitalizing on the situation and weird at worst...
My manufacturer side asks: What flaw/defect is being hidden by that horrendously applied finish?

I'm pretty sure every human being in the US is aware of breast cancer at this point.
Curious though, how many people on THR are aware that prostate cancer actually affects more people every year than breast cancer, and yet research into the cure only gets about half the funding....
I would bet most here were totally unaware of that. Just like the rest of the country. If it were me, and I were using the color for some awareness campaign, I would paint those mags light blue.

Ann Imse/Colorado Public News
DENVER � President Barack Obama chose to be introduced at a rally in Denver on Wednesday by recent Georgetown law school graduate Sandra Fluke, who was vilified by right-wing pundits for supporting insurance coverage for contraception.
Obama�s two-day, multicity Colorado campaign tour came just days after a Catholic-owned Colorado company won a court reprieve in a fight against having to provide insurance coverage for contraception based on its religious beliefs.
Both issues underscore the president�s clear position: that women�s rights to health insurance � and to make their own health-care decisions � are more important to him than private employers� rights to refuse to provide contraception coverage.
Neither Obama nor Fluke said women�s health was more important than religious freedom, but that is the side his administration is supporting in the Colorado court case. And Obama�s likely Republican opponent, Mitt Romney, has accused the president of waging a war on religion � just as the Obama campaign has accused Romney of waging a war on women.
Several new polls show Obama and Romney virtually tied in Colorado, considered a critical swing state for the outcome of the November election.
Fluke, then a law student, testified before Congress in February in favor of contraception. She was subsequently attacked by radio host Rush Limbaugh, who called her a �slut� and a �prostitute.�
During last week�s Denver rally, Obama echoed what many others have since pointed out: 99 percent of American women use contraception in their lifetimes � including for reasons other than birth control.
Introducing Obama to the rally crowd of 4,000, Fluke said that women can�t believe this debate has been revived, 50 years after birth control changed American life.
Women �are shocked that we�re discussing access to contraception in 2012,� she said.
Obama followed up in his speech: �I don�t think your boss should decide the health care that you get. I don�t think politicians should control the health care that you get.�
That spoke directly to the court case in Colorado. On July 27, Denver-based Hercules Industries won a federal court preliminary injunction against the new requirement that the company�s health insurance cover contraception. Hercules Industries, owned by four Catholic siblings, is a heating and air conditioning company.
Senior federal district court Judge John Kane ruled in the case that religious freedom outweighed the goal of providing contraception and health care.
The controversy has its roots in the Democratic health-care law, but the requirement to provide preventive care � including contraception � is in a related regulation. Some religious organizations such as churches are exempt. Others, including religious universities such as Georgetown, got a compromise � and some don�t like the compromise.
As a result of those exceptions, Fluke told Colorado Public News she doesn�t see Americans having to make a choice between freedom of religion and the freedom to control their own health decisions. �I don�t think it�s a choice. ... Those are rights Americans value absolutely,� she said.
But there is no exemption for religious business owners such as the Newland family, which owns Hercules Industries.
�The Newland family in this case provides very generous health benefits, and all they ask is that the government not force them to violate their faith by making them provide coverage for abortion-inducing drugs, contraception and sterilization, just because they are trying to earn a living and create jobs and do that in the United States of America,� said attorney Matt Bowman, attorney for the Alliance Defending Freedom, which is representing Hercules Industries.
He argued in court papers that the government could pay for contraception itself instead of requiring employers to do so.
Fluke sees the Colorado case very differently.
�The owners of the business want to limit access to health care for their employees. And that to me seems a very dangerous proposition and not where most Americans want to see the law go. I think Americans want to decide for themselves about their religious identity and their health care and don�t want to turn those decisions over to their employer.�
On the other side, Bowman maintains: �Every American, including family business owners, should be able to live and do business according to their faith. And the government should not be stifling the very religious freedoms that it exists to protect.�
The plaintiffs� brief said the penalty for failing to provide coverage for contraception could rise to $100 per employee per day � or a prohibitive $26,500 per day for Hercules� 265 employees. That�s nearly $10 million a year.
The plaintiffs said in court papers that halting health insurance for their employees would incur a penalty of up to $2,000 per employee per year, or up to $530,000 a year for Hercules Industries.
Colorado Public News, a nonprofit news organization, reports on issues of statewide interest. It partners with Colorado Public Television 12, Denver�s independent PBS station.
