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.
-As prepared-
Thank you for inviting me to join you in celebrating the leadership, talent, potential and promise of Kenyan women.
For decades, USAID has been leading global efforts to achieve gender equality – believing that long-term, sustainable development will only be possible when women and men enjoy equal opportunity to rise to their potential.
It is a pleasure to be with you today to celebrate the launch of Wezesha Project. Wezesha Project is a USAID partnership with Lifeskills Promoters, and its partners, St Johns' Community Center and Christian Partnership on AIDS in Kenya, to coordinate the sustainable care of 20,000 orphans and vulnerable children in Homa Bay, Kisii, and Migori Counties.
With support from the Lab, we will ensure that this story—of solutions rigorously tested and applied on a transformational scale—increasingly defines how America works around the world. As we do, our students will have greater opportunities to develop math and science skills—and lend those skills in service of mission bigger and greater than themselves.
Our entrepreneurs will form connections in the markets of the future. And all of us will be inspired by the contributions we can each bring to the task of ending extreme poverty.
Remarks as prepared for Colin Dreizin
USAID Field Investment Officer
I am honored to be here with you today in support of the Kenya Union of Savings & Credit Co-operatives (KUSCCO), which is increasing access to cook stoves for Kenyan consumers through the "Jiko Safi" cook stove-specific credit facility.
Clean cook stoves reduce fuel consumption, reduce indoor air pollution, and improve efficiencies that ultimately save tens of thousands of Shillings per year for the average Kenyan household, as well as reducing health risks.
With those opening comments, I just want to say thank you to all of you who have made it your life's work to help fight hunger and poverty around the world. I wish more people around the world—certainly in the United States Congress, but also all around the world—saw that your efforts are in fact succeeding, and that over time, if we all make the right decisions, if we all continue to work together, and if we are all blessed by the kind of leadership like we see here in Rome right now—that we can achieve the end of extreme poverty within the next two decades. Wouldn't that create a more stable more productive world for all of us to live and prosper in?
There is no one model for successful PPPs in general or in support of innovation in engineering education in particular. But many of Vietnam's challenges and the principles I've described at least begin to be addressed by the very effort to form alliances of government, business and educational institutions. We can make a contribution just by trying, and USAID is enthusiastic about trying.
It is my great pleasure to be here today on behalf of United States Agency for International Development, or USAID, to participate with you in the 9th National TB Research Annual Conference and commemorate World TB Day. I would like to thank the Federal Ministry of Health, the TB Research Advisory Committee, and this year's conference hosts, the SNNP Regional Health Bureau and Hawassa University for inviting USAID to underline and reinforce our support for the strong partnership gathered here today to combat this deadly disease.
Never before has a generation of young computer scientists had such a wealth of information at their fingertips—from Google Trends data to open climate information. With only a computer, Charles Xin Lui—a finalist that I met on Sunday—accessed an enormous bank of gene expression data and ran a high-end computational analysis to uncover a complex relationship between lupus and sclerosis. Today, a similar focus on opening big data sets has inspired President Obama's own executive order to ensure that the federal government make all of its data sets open to everyone around the world—free and accessible—so that we can do extraordinary things together.
From President Obama to Secretary Kerry to Republicans and Democrats in Congress, we are fortunate to have had an exceptional set of leaders on both sides of the aisle who understand the importance of development to our nation's security and prosperity. By partnering with other countries to end extreme poverty and promote resilient democratic societies, we help transform developing countries into stable and prosperous nations. We open new markets for American businesses, prevent conflict and extremism from reaching our shores, and help our young people build skills in science and technology, all for less than 1 percent of the overall federal budget.
This is—without a doubt—a unique and important moment for Nepal. Thanks to a history of progress and new advances in science and technology, Nepal stands within reach of ending extreme poverty and securing a foundation for long-term economic growth. But this future is not inevitable.
Today, almost 8 million Nepalis get by on less than $1.25 a day. For them, every decision is a trade-off with potentially catastrophic consequences. Do you buy medicines for a sick parent, provide an evening meal for your children, or put a few pennies away towards a new roof or next year's school fees? These questions are an everyday reality, especially for Nepal's subsistence farmers, for whom extreme poverty is not just a statistic—but a drain on their basic human dignity

I find their reasons pure discrimination.

it does seem odd that they don't allow women, but I'm not about to burn my bra over it.
I feel the men behind the decision are sexist, which is a term I seldom use. What will their excuse be in four years?
It probably has something to do with the fact that some strong ski jumping countries hardly acknowledge female jumping at all. For example ski jumping is one of the Top 3 most popular television sports in Finland but I've never heard of any competitions held here for women. It's quite baffling really.
In Switzerland and Austria it is not very popular yet as well, but at least the Austrians have one or two good jumpers. The problem is that the best female jumpers are from countries which don't have very good male jumpers - the US, France. As far as I know in Stams, the famous Austrian boarding school for Ski Sports, they accept female jumpers now, and very, very seldom they show a competition in Eurosport. That makes me hope for the future. Sometimes things just need a bit time to develop - think of the summer Olympics and ladies pole vault. It was only Olympic in the 1990s, and how popular is it now!
ITA. And that - on a symbolic level - was what the élite female jumpers did by going to court. I didn't follow the whole story in detail, so I don't know by whom the campaign was led, but when I read about it a month or so ago, I thought they have been denied because the whole thing took place too shortly before the Olympics. Still I am confident that they have a fair chance by trying it again for the Sochi games.
I love ski jumping and would love to watch the ladies jump. Come on, IOC, do the right thing! There should be no men-only sports.
Love the Dick Pound statement, goes with his name. Would love to shove a ski up his ... to be perfectly frank. What a bunch of OLD f.rts!
Well, women managed to fight it out for everything else, they'll fight it out for this too. It's just appalling that they even have to fight it out in the first place in the 21st century. But we all know how corrupt IOC is and really, if they just greased the right palms it would go through. Of course, where do they get the money? Hate this kind of thing.
A lot of things in life are sexist... not just sports. It's the same mentality that the US has about women in combat... they aren't allowed to be in any combat positions or on the frontline. People still feel like it's their job to "protect" women. It might be the 21st century, but change is slow in that department.
Well there are female only sports - rhythmic gymnastics and synchronized swimming...
The whole issue was not sexist nor was it discrimination. The female ski jumpers simply waited too long when they brought this issue to court. The IOC voted on Women's ski jumping back in 2006 (where it was denied because it did not meet the criteria) and when the women tried to get into the Olympics only a few months before the Games, it rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. They kept trying to sue VANOC as well - which had no control over the situation.

Isn't this a dead-simple issue? Lack of global participation is why the sport isn't in the Olympics. No gender bias whatsoever - the IOC simply says that Olympic medals are for elite athletes and so any sport with at best fringe worldwide active participation is not eligible. The sport has only been in existence for 4 years and the first world championships was only last year. This is exactly like the suggestion above - just because 5 local teams of male idiots choose to form a synchronized swimming team doesn't mean they should be awarded the same Olympic medal as the 100-metre dash winner.
If women's ski jumping participation grows to the point where it, say, has half the participants of male jumping, then I think it will and should be an Olympic event.

En español | Any surgery is dangerous. The body considers an operation a serious insult, and even some minor procedures come with major risks, such as bleeding, blood clots, infections, and damage to other organs. So it's essential to know if surgery is necessary — or beneficial.
The four operations discussed on the following pages are overperformed for a variety of reasons: Some are moneymakers for hospitals and doctors, others are expedient, and still others seem to work, at least in the short term. But evidence shows that all have questionable long-term outcomes for treating certain conditions, and some may even cause harm. Here's what to do if your doctor recommends one of them.
1. Stents for Stable Angina
Stents are tiny mesh tubes that surgeons use to prop open arteries carrying blood to the heart. If a patient is having a heart attack, a stent can be a lifesaver. But for heart disease patients with stable angina — chest pain brought on by exertion or stress — a stent is not better at preventing a heart attack or prolonging survival than lifestyle changes such as exercising and taking statins to lower cholesterol, according to a landmark 2007 Department of Veterans Affairs study.
Despite stents' ineffectiveness, close to 500,000 are implanted each year for stable chest pain, says Sanjay Kaul, M.D., a cardiologist at Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute in Los Angeles. Surgeons frequently insert the stents during heart-catheterization procedures to evaluate patients' blood vessels, says Lee Lucas, Ph.D., an epidemiologist at Maine Medical Center Research Institute, who argues that the catheterization should be done first as a diagnostic test, and stenting done later, if necessary. "This should be a two-stage procedure, but patients never get to leave the cath lab to think about it," says Lucas.
Alternatives to Surgery
If your doctor orders a heart catheterization, ask that he or she wait to perform any treatment such as stenting in a separate procedure. Even before submitting to a heart cath, make sure you've explored other alternatives. Have you had a stress test? Do you adhere to a strict diet, exercise, or take medications to manage your cholesterol? "The reality is that 20 percent of patients who undergo this [catheterization with stents] do not have any symptoms, 30 to 50 percent have not had a stress test, and 30 percent are not treated with medical therapy first," says Kaul. If plaque is forming in your arteries, this is a systemic disease; a stent won't keep even a full inch of your arteries clear. You'll still need aggressive medical therapy to prevent future problems.

Perth weatherRe: Perth weatherGlad you made it snail I got DROWNED Didn't last long enough.
Sent from my MB526 using Tapatalk 2
Re: Perth weatherIt wasn't so bad. Rained heavily but wind was moderate to nothing. I believe that it could get worse tonight but I have my fingers crossed for the ride in tomorrow.
Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Perth weather62k loop around the river this morning. Northerly was a bit strong but the weather was beautiful, even warm in places.
Summers coming folks . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The trouble with jogging is that the ice falls out of your glass
Re: Perth weatherKnocked off at 2pm today did 60k's down the coast it was GLORIOUS. I so much enjoy riding in the warm sun and in the light.
Re: Perth weatherPerth - Wed evening
It was back to moderate arvo breeze. And I can't recall seeing so many riders on the arvo trip. Great to see. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Perth weatherSurely the people on Riverside Drive must be assessing their options, watching all the cyclists wizzing by. I reckon a 'cycle instead' banner next to the road would get plenty of cars off the road. Mind you, I cannot understand why people would want to sit in a carpark burning fuel.
Monday evening there wasn't any let up in the rain. With glasses on at night it makes visibility very tough; the water on the lenses. I even almost hit two ducks standing in the middle of the path!
Re: Perth weatherAh..... spring has sprung, perfect riding weather again in Perth. I have noticed that there have been a lot more people on their bikes at all levels of experience, particularly on the weekends. It is good to see.
Re: Perth weatherThe ride home tonight will be interesting. I hope the PSP aint underwater.
Re: Perth weather
How was the submarine? My ride home only 1.8km, mostly downhill into the wind and rain, across a roundabout and finally 200m uphill into the wind and stinging rain that was hard slog the 42x18 felt more like a 53x16 my blog Nick Cowie, member of Peel District Cycling Club
Re: Perth weatherActually it wasn't that bad. Was alot worse North (especially the tree down over the path at Thomas where I cross from North to South PSPs) and I was getting pelted with hard rain until I crossed the Narrows, where it was just windy without much rain.
Re: Perth weatherThis one?
Second tree down at this location this week. Got caught in a down pour in Perth, amazing to see the volume of water on the shared path near Parliment Hill, were the water drains off the Freeway into drains on the shared path, and any excess comes flooding up and out.
Re: Perth weatherThe tree has been cut up and placed on the edges of the path. I went through about 12 and it was cleared by then. I must admit once they are informed, the problem is rectified very quickly.
Makes a big change from the usual perceived old days where it would stay in place until somebody took care of it privately.
Re: Perth weatherWas an awesome day for a ride save the wind the bloody wind I hate wind
Re: Perth weatherNice day for a ride if you are with a bunch of A & B grade racers, sat in the pack going north at 30-32kmh until I choose to lead them through back streets of Murdoch to avoid the PSP roadworks. 25kmh into 40kmh gusting to 50kmh NNE, I worked bloody hard to get that speed.
Trip home south was "fast" 4 PBs on Strava, would of got more if one of our number did not get stung by bee and we stopped. my blog Nick Cowie, member of Peel District Cycling Club
Re: Perth weather
Nice! I managed to also get stung by a bee Friday.
Re: Perth weatherWhich nutters rode today ??
Re: Perth weatherMe! Going in to work was ok, just got very wet. At 1 pm I had to go into town to do an induction and had to ride straight into that wind for about 10 km. Probably the slowest 10 km I've ridden in a long time, I was actually slowing down when coasting down hills! Didn't see too many others about - could count the number of cyclists on 1 hand.
Re: Perth weatherI did...early morning around 6ish.However after much deliberation i am hopping on to the train tonight!
Re: Perth weatherOnly to and from the train station, home was with 60kph crosswind come headwind. Did see some brave/foolhardy/crazy soul ride over the footbridge used for the PSP South Perth detour, in the middle of the storm. At least both my rides was dry.
my blog Nick Cowie, member of Peel District Cycling Club
Re: Perth weatherI rarely commute but did yesterday as I didn't need my laptop. In was good but the ride home was into 40kmh head wind. The gauge at home had a max of 48kmh and bom reported 50 at ocean reef at the time. That was enough for me. I'll stick to the trainer for a few days - only a loony commuter would be out today. which reminds me - where is Roland?
Re: Perth weatherI was out. In was just wet in the morning. Nothing like putting on wed clothes/shoes for the trip home. Homeward bound (heading north) into head wind was painful, took an extra 15mins to get home.
There is a lot of branches on the paths, including a tree down again on the path at Thomas (cleanered off the path at least). I also did see Colin out on his uni this morning.
Re: Perth weatheron the tredley today, kept dryish this morning,blowing a gail ths arvo on the way home going north sheesh!
see what tomorrow brings Orbea Euskaltel:Ultegra,Durace,RS80
Orbea Erandio Hybrid
Re: Perth weatherI had a pretty nice ride in today, didn't get too wet. Left work early and didn't see any rain on the way home. Hard work in the wind though.
I was in the CBD late morning, found that very unsettling. Passed this scene on Kings Park Road on my way back to Subi;
Re: Perth weatherHeaps of shredded bark when I left home this morning. But I never saw any destroyed fences - I suspect that whatever was going to fall over has already done so during winter.
However I did see a long long section of that portable linked mesh fencing that is used these days around construction sites. With it all being mesh and a reasonalby solid base on those things it must have been a fair squall that went thru bateman. I piked out of riding home. I think it was a good decision as even the few km I did ride gave rise to several times where I struggled to make any forward movement. Still, I am looking forward to the ride in tomorrow. Unchain yourself-Ride a unicycle
Re: Perth weatherI haven't got home yet, but I waited out the morning til 7:45am to have a clear dry hour, puncture in the first 10min near Warwick station, only saw 2 bikes in 20min window of repairing it (photos and music dragged me out 10min I think, not as quick at stoppage photos as Roland
Upside to last night's headwind was getting it as a tail wind this morning Missed a few windows of no-rain and family time this evening to get home, so doing some work and watching the radar, the positive side seems to be wind has switched west-south westerly now instead of north westerly. Lights and music charged... I hope the weather keeps the ferals away from the paths on drunken Wednesday pub night closing time.

For me, it doesn't get much better than
I'm sure you've gathered by now that i'm a huge fan of Eli Roth. Many in the horror community seem to like to bash him, and I really can't understand why. His movies kick ass, period. All of them. What's not to like? One of my favorite things about Hostel, Roth's "Miike film", is that pretty much all of the bad guys/girls in it end up getting brutally killed. Paxton's would be killer gets his leg chainsawed off by his own hand (Leatherface style) and then his brains blown out. The chicks who led the guys to Elite Hunting get hit by a car and then run over. The American businessman who torched Kana's eye out gets shot. The bald Elite Hunting heavy gets his head caved in with the blunt end of a rock (wielded by a child no less). All of those scenes are those "fuck ya" moments where you, as an audience, cannot help but grit your teeth and jump for joy at the sweet bloody justice that is going down on screen. Naturally, Hostel ends on one of these notes too with Paxton eviscerating the Dutch businessman aka Edward Saladhands. I honestly did not see it coming and I couldn't have been happier that Roth decided to take that route. When Paxton got on the train at the end and it pulled out of the station, I thought the movie was gonna end there. Then when he heard the Dutch businessman talking on the train, I though it was gonna cut to black there. And then when he followed the dude into the bathroom, closed the door behind him, and turned the "open" sign to "closed" I was SURE it was ending on that note, with us never really seeing exactly what goes down but knowing that Saladhands got his just desserts. But Eli Roth always seems to give us exactly what we fucking want and never shies away from showing us the things we want to see most and thus, we get to see the complete and brutal murder of the Dutch businessman. It's one of the greatest endings to a horror film ever and it sure as hell is, for me, the most satisfying. And how poetic is it that Paxton cuts off the dudes fingers, the same fingers Pax himself had chainsawed off earlier in the film? Three cheers for sweet revenge!
Leave a comment and let me know your pick for most satisfying horror movie ending!

When Kimberley Donaldson delivered her first child at Moore Medical Center, she felt her delivery nurse was like an angel at her side.
"She was working her hardest to do what was best for me," Donaldson said. "She kept me calm and did a great job."
Donaldson chose to honor her nurse, Kim Anable, RN, through the Guardian Angel program. The program gives patients and their families an opportunity to make a meaningful gift to Norman Regional Health Foundation and recognize a caregiver who delivered extraordinary care at Norman Regional Health System.
"Thanking someone is not the first thing on your mind when you're at a hospital, and this program is a good way to go back and appreciate the job the staff did," Donaldson said.
Each Guardian Angel is honored among their peers and receives a specially designed lapel-pin to signify their "angel wings." A cross-section of employees has been given Guardian Angel pins, from doctors and nurses to chaplains and other caregivers.
"We know that every physician, nurse and Health System employee can make a difference in people's lives each and every day," said Marilyn M. Geiger, CPA, executive director of NRH Foundation. "We define the term "caregiver" in a broad sense. It can be your physician whom you trust, that special nurse who brings compassion to his or her job, or it may be the employee who delivers your evening meal with a cheerful smile."
Since the Guardian Angel program began in January, 2009, more than 20 guardian angels have been recognized. To nominate an angel, a donor simply makes a tax-deductible donation of any amount to Norman Regional Health Foundation.

Nailtiques Nail Protein Formula 2 Plus
SharooonSan DiegoOnly Product I Use NowWhen I go on vacation for 3 weeks, I can apply this and go without any peeling for the entire three weeks! Strong, clean perfect!posted Aug 25, 2014Link to this post
KennedyLa La Land, CAHairDark BrownDry HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairFinally, Something That Helps!I tried the Formula 2, which did nothing for my nails; however, this formula has been the only thing that has helped my short, stubby, dry & peeling nails. With this formula I am actually able to grow my nails just a bit over the finger tip. Although, still considered "very short" by salon standards this is the longest my nails have ever grown naturally without acrylic or a silk wrap & even then... They are now quite strong, where before they would bend with the slightest touch.

JulieGreat Instant And Long-term Results!I have had thin, brittle nails for as long as I can remember. I have a great diet and am a very healthy and active person. So, it was frustrating to feel as though there was nothing I could do. No matter how much grooming and maintenance I did, I could never get any kind of decent nail growth. While browsing through Wal-Greens, I saw this product and actually went on the internet on my iPhone and checked out reviews on the product from this website before purchasing. Once I saw how many other people had great results, I decided to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did! I saw results within the first couple days! What you notice is that all of the sudden your nails aren't breaking... They just don't break! After having used this product for a few weeks, my nails are strong, long, and beautiful! I could not be happier! I plan on using this product for the rest of my life! I have never written an online review before, but I was just so impressed by my results that I have been sharing my secret with everyone!posted Mar 31, 2010Link to this post
MickiOhioMy nails have always been thin and never grow past my finger tips. They would tear on the sides and just peel right off. After removing artificial nails my nails looks awful they were thin and flaky. I started using formula 2 plus 2 months ago. (I had tried Formula 2 in the past but I didn't notice a huge improvement although I was not as diligent about applying it every day!) My ridges from the artifical nails have just finally grown out and now I am noticing a BIG Difference. I haven't missed a day of applying the polish- this was hard because of the ridges it didn't seem like it was working, I'm glad I stuck with it. One .25 oz bottle lasted me 6 weeks so I am only spending about 3 dollars every 2 weeks on this product instead of 23 every two weeks to get acrylics. Well worth the money! Only complaint I have is that the formula gets pretty thick after 5 or 6 weeks but by then it is time for another bottle, I also saw that there is a protien thinner you can buy from nailtiques.posted Aug 24, 2009Link to this post
Nwbl MomIncredible!I was frustrated with my nails for a long time. They were soft, they peeled, and they chipped. I tried other products including Nailtiques 2 (not 2 plus) and nothing helped. I have used Nailtiques 2 Plus for about 2 months now and I have 10 long, strong fingernails! I tend to be skeptical about rave reviews like this but Nailtiques 2 Plus is the real deal!posted Aug 3, 2009Link to this post
LizA WarningThis product works well - it is the only product I have found that works on my nails. However, it contains formaldehyde, which can cause allergic reactions, which in turn can cause nails to separate from the finger. I had to stop using it to keep my nails attached to me.posted Nov 12, 2008Link to this post
KellyLos Angeles, CAGreat Stuff That Actually Works!I have tried everything for my nails...they were soft, peeling, splitting and never grew. But, after close to two months of using nailtique, I can actually show off my hands and my natural long and strong nails. My advice: throw out all your other products and just use this one.posted Jun 2, 2008Link to this post
Mary M.CAHappy With Results After 2 WeeksThis product seems to be helping my nails more than anything else I have tried. As one of the reviewers said, it is not cheap but if it works, its worth it.posted Apr 30, 2008Link to this post
CarolSouthern CaliforniaThe Cure For Nails That Cannot GrowMy nails have always been thin. They chip and break and have just always looked poor. I discoverd Formula 2 plus and within just one week I could tell a big difference. After a month I have long strong nails. It works so well, I may forget to apply it. I would recommend this product to anyone with thin, chipping nails.posted Feb 9, 2008Link to this post

Great value We bought two of these benches to flank our china cabinet, and provide additional storage for the kids' puzzles. The benches are fairly low (check the measurements if you're unsure), and do not have very wide/deep storage, but they are exactly what we were looking for. The tops are not hinged- the 'lids' come completely off, which is fine w/me. The lined storage compartment easily holds dozens of puzzles/games, and having two of them provides more than enough storage for what we wanted. Great value, fast shipping, they arrived in perfect condition-- another positive Overstock experience.

Decent Nicer than others I've seen elsewhere for more money. I wish it had a hinge to open the cover. But, it appears to be a solid bench. I'm 200 lbs, sit on it and feels sturdy. I've been using it for about 3 weeks. It's not big though, so if you're going to store a big comforter (queen/king size), this isn't probably big enough.

Good Customer Service, nice piece of furniture The bench is very nice, I would recommend this to someone looking for one, we use ours as a foot rest, but this could be used as bench at the end of a bed or just coming into the house, the storage is not very deep, but you can still put at least 2-4 blankets in it. The one thing I noticed all ready is the stitching is starting to come out, not to bad but I am finding loose stitching here and there, could just be the one I got, dont let that deter you from buying this product.

Needed extra storage, a place to put our feet and extra seating...it's everything I needed. Hoping it somewhat meets my expectation!
I was looking for a smaller bench to use as extra storage as well as extra seating.
My family room needs additional sitting positions; however, a couch would be too big; therefore, something for short/long term sitting to entertain family was the solution. Also, I purchased a similar one for a divider from my dining room and living room. This storage bench would also go well with the 4 chairs I ordered to go into the living room. Storage bench is a wonderful substitute for sitting. I call it my sitting bench.

No, the dark brown ottoman is not almost black. However, the dark brown is a very dark shade of brown.
Thank you for contacting us cjisohsocool. No, though it's dark you can still recognized the brown color. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
Very dark brown but you know it's brown not black.
Can the dark blue ottoman's top be flipped over and used as a tray for food and drinks. Some reviewers have stated this however it is not in the description.
Probably but not made for that purpose and not very attractive if you do.
I have used it that way on a couple of occasions and it worked fine. I wouldn't do it if I was entertaining however, because the lid is not secured.
Hello. I'm still trying to get a handle on what color of grey this is. Is it just a nice normal light to medium grey or is it really more grey-taupe, as a couple other people have mentioned? Thank you!
Unfortunately, my order never arrived. I had to call and request another so I haven't seen it yet.
Is the dark blue color like a navy blue?
Thank you for contacting us brfrommd. Yes, you are correct. Please let us know if you have any further questions.
How does this item ship? it is classified as oversized? Did you have to be home for the delivery?
It was shipped by Ups. You do not have to be home for delivery.
No I have a good UPS guy and leaves with the dog
If you are not at home when delivered you must bring it in the residence. The box may be difficult for some people to handle. I am 65 but managed to slide it in the house.
The picture for the brown bench shows a bench that has legs, but the other pictures of the other colors show the bench with no or very small legs... Can you tell me if the brown one is different from the rest? What kind of legs?
It has legs like the one in the picture of the brown model.
The legs on the brown unit are two inches.
We bought the purple one. The legs are about one inch.
where is this ottoman made? thank you
This is made in China.
What is the maximum weight for someone to sit on this bench?
The maximum weight is 250 pounds.
Does the bench have a hinge when it opens - or is the top not perm. attached? thanks,
There is no hinge. The top of the bench lifts off completely.
What are the dimensions on the inside of this?
The inside dimensions are approximately 32 inches long x 10.5 inches wide x 8 inches high.
still want to see the inside dmensions of this in inches please. I want to stand up 13" x 13" albums on end inside. Will this work?
I want to use this to store albums so it needs to be at least 13" x13" square for interior dimensions. Is it at least that and how long is it? Thank you
The inside dimensions are approximately 32 inches long by 10.5 inches wide by 8 inches high.
I want to use this ottoman as a coffee table that I can put my feet up on at night and place a glass and dinner plate on. Is it firm enough and will the top stay on it when I put my feet up on it?
This is more bulgy so putting a glass on it may not be a good idea, however it will stay on when putting your feet on it.
The bench is 36 inches wide but how long is it? Wondering the length to see if it would be good at the foot of a king size bed
The total lenght of this bench is 36 inches.
How long is the bench from end to end?
The bench is 36 inches wide from end to end.
What is the size of the storage bin (dimensions please), or actually I am trying to figure out how tall the legs are... are they 4 inches, 5 or 6 or?
The near-exact "interior dimension" are: (11.5 inches deep, 12 inches width and 33 inches across) hope this helps.

Top 5 Reasons to Buy a Storage Bench
All furniture serves multiple functions, acting as decoration and providing practical use as a table or seating or storage. But one of the most versatile pieces of furniture you can put in your home is a storage bench. And if you don't already have a versatile storage bench in your home, you should consider the many different functions a storage bench can give you.
How to Use a Storage Bench
Just as good for decoration as it is for function, a storage bench is a valuable and attractive piece of furniture.

Bench furniture with storage can be a perfect way to store odds and ends in an organized and easily accessible manner. Here are a few ideas to help you use your storage benches to their full potential.
How to Accessorize an Ottoman
Ottomans serve multiple purposes in home decor. Some people use them as footstools, pairing them with armchairs, loveseats or couches. Others invest in storage ottomans with removable tops or trays beneath. In some homes, ottomans may serve as coffee tables, cocktail tables or end tables. Accessorize your ottoman to increase its functionality as well as its style. Below, you'll learn how to accessorize an ottoman.

Tips on Making Leather Furniture Last
Leather furniture is a wise investment that pays off in style, class and comfort. Leather furniture can range from leather sofas and loveseats to ottomans and recliners. Your new leather furniture will beautify your home quickly. Regrettably, if it's not maintained, leather furniture can age quickly.

How to Choose a Bench
Although most commonly used outside, benches have found a great amount of use inside the home. Not only do they offer additional seating, typically in a compact piece of furniture, but they also offer a great deal of versatility. Benches are great furniture for foyers, letting you sit when you take off or put on your shoes, and some styles will even have shelves to keep your shoes orderly. Benches also add style to bedrooms and living rooms, and storage benches give you a place to store items while keeping them easily accessible.
Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.
FAQs about Entryway Furniture
The entryway is often the first impression your home will make on guests, so selecting furniture to match decor and desired function is important.

Below, you'll find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about entryway furniture.
Best Styles of Booties for Evening
Ankle boots, or booties, are a versatile fashion option. They can be worn with a variety of outfits for many different occasions, from a lavish dinner at a four-star restaurant to a company party. Pick out evening-appropriate women's ankle boots that add flair and class to your outfit by following a few simple guidelines. Try embellished booties for a trendy look. Women's booties embellished with chains, big buckles, laces and buttons can work great when paired with a short skirt. The exact embellishment you choose is up to you, but no matter what, these extras will lend an edgy touch to your evening outfit. Match the color of your embellishments with the tone of your jewelry for a truly polished, put-together look. Pair women's ankle boots with tights or wear them bare-legged, depending on the formality of the occasion. While black booties tend to go with anything, you can experiment with different colors of embellished booties to give your look a boost. Booties that are a little slouchy also look great with jeans or a skirt. Leather booties look great for every occasion. Leather booties work well for a classic, chic and monochromatic look. Booties without adornments, such as buckles, bows or chains, can be patent leather (for a dressy look), suede or faux leather. Leather booties can be matte or shiny and often come in lace-up styles as well. This works best when you want your style to be understated but still want to add sophistication to your look. Coordinate your ankle boots with your outfit or pick another color to make your clothes pop. Wear them with a knee-length skirt or paired with a pair of dark jeans. You can also wear them with a tunic and thick leggings for a warmer, comfortable look. Open-toe booties are stylish and fashion-forward. If you really want to try something different, give open-toed booties a try. These will lend the most edge to your look. Pair these with a short skirt in order to make them pop. If it's cold outside, you might want to wear these open-toed booties with a pair of matching tights to stay warm. These ankle boots work well for going out to a club or rock concert, but they can also complement a party dress or a pair of jeans for a dressier event.

Many are beautiful furniture accessories made of oak, rosewood and other fine woods and inlaid with mahogany or mother of pearl. Others have the classic travel-case design, with a carrying handle and leather or fabric exteriors. Use this guide to choose a jewelry box for your collection.

Wow, thanks for the post. Gainward gtx260sp216 1.7GiB here, on start BIOS speed is set to throttling idle. I can guarantee this.
It looks like you have bad BIOS. Had exactly your experience with previous 9800GT. I really thought it was nvidia-bug. Now it seems to be BIOS dependent. Maybe, you have early BIOS revision???
Also, nouveau should be able to downclock your card once it pulls in.
And my research shows, 260gtx pulls only 80W when in full power state. 40W when in idle. The true power drain comes only when its loaded - it can skyrocket to 140W.
disi stop being asshat to nouveau devs!
People get 9800gtx exactly where they get hd2xxx,3xxx, and 4xxx. At ebay.

I wanted to ask you about your experience with A8 and video drivers, but I read you use catalyst.., so I have no questions then.
I have had a lot of experience with AMD products. I go back to the ATi Radeon X300 SE, which if my memory serves me right was one of the first PCI Express x16 GPUs. I have had a lot of experience with Linux as well, starting a year or two after the X300 SE. More recently, I have had experience with OpenGL programming. The current systems I have with AMD products are:
Dell Dimension 8400 (with the mentioned ATi Radeon X300 SE)
HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx (AMD A8-3500M APU which contains AMD Radeon HD 6620G GPU and also has a dedicated AMD Radeon HD 6750M GPU for Switchable and/or Dual Graphics)
HP Envy m6-1205dx (AMD A10-4600M APU which contains AMD Radeon HD 7660G GPU)
and I have had a few other AMD laptops. I have helped pick out for others or purchase for myself a total of 6 all-AMD laptops since October 2009 and I haven't had an issue with them nor have the ones I helped pick out.
The main reason I go with AMD is the price to performance ratio, or "bang for your buck." For example, I picked up that HP Pavilion dv6-6135dx for $699, and that was bought the day it was released. To get an Intel system with comparable performance at that time, I would've had to spend at least double that amount. The system is also completely overclockable (CPU and both GPUs if you know what you're doing), even on Linux with a bit of programming and Linux kernel knowledge (it can't be overclocked via BIOS settings, it is overclocked via software). I'm able to run new release games with 90% of the bells and whistles turned on and have a playable framerate (40+ FPS).
Now, I'll get into OpenGL and driver stuff. This is the stuff I see a lot of people complaining about around here.
General Driver Complaints:
- Doesn't support new X or Linux Kernel releases:
If your Linux distro is using a new X or Linux Kernel release it is their responsibility to patch the driver to function on them properly. AMD doesn't rush officially supporting these newer releases because they take the time to ensure that there is no drop in driver performance or compatibility or other issues brought up by these new releases. They want to make sure the product they are putting their name on doesn't have those issues. I myself use Kubuntu 13.04 for Linux, and I use the xorg-edgers PPA repository which recently has had the fglrx packages updated quickly after new releases. They have them patched to support the newer Linux kernels and X releases. It works without a hitch on both of my aformentioned AMD laptops.
- Poor 2D performance:
This has been 100% resolved since the 12.6 release of the drivers.
- I HAVE _issue_ AND IT ISN'T FIXED:
Have you filed a bug report, including proper stack traces? Without doing this, there is no way for AMD to fix the issue.
- _application_ WORKS WITH NVIDIA BUT NOT AMD:
Nvidia's implementation of OpenGL is not to proper specifications. Application developers using Nvidia can end up having issues with AMD users because AMD properly implements OpenGL to the actual specifications, so the developer is using this non-standard OpenGL and expecting it to work everywhere. Complain to your developer and/or Nvidia. In my experience with OpenGL programming, I've ran into issues with Nvidia users because their OpenGL implementation doesn't behave properly! I'm forced to then check if a user is using an Nvidia GPU, and if so, having to use hackish workarounds or even disabling certain features for them. I have to do this for Intel as well, but not as often as I have had to in the past. Intel has definitely come a long way with GPUs recently and I applaud their efforts. Competition is good for everybody.
Specific Driver Complaints:
- Cannot resume from sleep:
I have issues resuming from sleep when using the open-source radeon driver. When I install fglrx these issues go away. This has been reproduced on at least 3 AMD systems I've worked with so I have a hard time believing the people mention this are really being truthful or actually using fglrx.
If you have other issues you'd like to bring up, I'll offer a rebuttal. This is only what I can think of at the time, I just can't stand to read another thread page full of trolling AMD on this forum. Even the articles themselves are biased here!
I wanted to ask you about your experience with A8 and video drivers, but I read you use catalyst.., so I have no questions then.
I had the opposite on an Acer 7741G with a HD 6550M. Resume would mostly not work with fglrx in the default configuration, would often work with fglrx when booted with the nopat kernel parameter and would always work with the open source driver.
If you have a hard time believing it, then have a look at the bugtracker you recommend:
etc., there are many more.
Mine was some time ago and I don't have the notebook anymore so maybe it got fixed in the meantime.
Nonsense. It is AMD's duty to release drivers that actually work and not to rely on patches from third parties.
So you are telling me that they have not released a driver that supports anything newer than a 9 months old kernel (I don't count 3.5 here, since it is already EOL) because they don't rush things? You must be kidding.AMD doesn't rush officially supporting these newer releases because they take the time to ensure that there is no drop in driver performance or compatibility or other issues brought up by these new releases.
So they let their image better being based on patches made by third parties they have no control over? That doesn't sound right to me.They want to make sure the product they are putting their name on doesn't have those issues
So you can tell us about the quality of their drivers shortly after you have installed them, but AMD is not able to do that in a reasonable timeframe? What does that tell us about AMD?It works without a hitch on both of my aformentioned AMD laptops.
It's "mostly closed source"... part of the Catalyst package is an open source "Kernel Compatibility Layer" (KCL) which sits between the kernel graphics driver and the Linux kernel. During installation the KCL is built against the Linux kernel headers and the resulting object file is linked with the closed source parts of the kernel driver to make the fglrx kernel module. When people talk about "patching" that usually means modifying the KCL source code.
And AMD will be more than happy to incorporate those patches into KCL, will provide documentation about requirements for KCL?
Right now it look like its periodic task performed by one-man-army, executed only for older kernels that are targeted (== those included in Ubu and SuSE and RHEL).
Not to meantion that if bug is present in fglrx code...
Nah, distros should care more about supporting and resolving any problems with FLOS AMD drivers.
Will AMD consider recommending FLOS drivers over Catalyst legacy, for older hardware? Are FLOS drivers ready for it? Do you see it as acheavable target in 2-3y time?
Since three years I am reporting that the default sizes for the desktops are too small, e.g. not possible to use two 24" screens at the same time. Needs manual xorg.conf modifcations. 2013 and manual xorg.conf modifications....
Using HDMI and DVI forces both screens to the same resolution. Bad.
Bought a XFX Radeon 7970 for my gaming rig. Installed Ubuntu 13.04 and fglrx. Getting "Unsupported Hardware"-overlay. Yeah, great. That card is on the market since years...Specific Driver Complaints:
Why are you loving a corporation in the first place?
I typically use the open-source drivers until I start getting into stuff using extensive OpenGL, and I used the open-source drivers on the A8 for about a month. It's decent for everyday tasks, but just doesn't hold up with the 3D stuff.
One of the reports you linked to reports the problem being fixed in Catalyst 12.9, and only one of the reports linked to includes at least some of the information developers need to fix an issue.
Nonsense. From what I can tell the distros they list as officially being supported are supported in the official driver. If those distros want to support newer kernels in an in-development release (e.x. Ubuntu 13.04) that's their responsibility.
3 months. It works fine with 3.6. There's no reason not to count an EOL kernel. In that case I'll count 3.4.34, released just yesterday. 1 day.
Please rewrite this sentence, I only speak English.
You said "shortly after you have installed them," indicating that you did not really read my whole post. Read the entire post and get back to me.
Link me to bug reports with the information needed for developers to fix such an issue.
Years? The Southern Islands GPUs were released around Christmas of 2011 if memory serves me right, so it hasn't been multiple years. If you installed fglrx from the official repositories, it was potentially outdated, and this would be the source of your issue.
Get out troll.

Pair of rookies set for Yanks-Mariners finale at Safeco
Whitley for New York, Elias for Seattle as Bronx Bombers seek sweep
A couple of pleasantly surprising rookies will face off Thursday in the final contest of a three-game series between the Yankees and Mariners.
Chase Whitley will start for New York. All he's done since stepping in for the injured CC Sabathia (right knee) on May 15 is post a 2.42 ERA in five starts, most recently earning his first win by pitching a season-high seven innings against the Royals on June 6.
Roenis Elias will go for Seattle. Despite never pitching above Double-A before this season, the Cuban southpaw has a 3.64 ERA while logging 81 2/3 innings, second on the team behind Felix Hernandez.
Elias held the Bombers to six hits and two runs with a season-high 10 strikeouts in a 4-2 win at Yankee Stadium on May 1.
On Saturday at Tampa Bay, he earned his second straight win, backing up a three-hit shutout against Detroit in his previous outing.
"I felt really good out there," Elias said through interpreter Fernando Alcala. "I'm doing what I'm capable of doing, and just to come out here and do the things that have made me successful in the past, I'm working hard to keep that going,"
Elias has gone more to his changeup the last two games and is seeing positive results.
"It helped tremendously, especially in the first inning [against the Rays], when they were jumping on the first pitch," he said. "To go with the changeup and throw them off balance helped, because batters have been sitting on fastballs lately on first pitch.
"With just the way scouting reports are, everybody knows I've got a fastball and curve early in the count. So you have to make those adjustments and get ahead in the count."
Yankees: Kelley off DL; Huff acquired
The Yankees received two reinforcements to their already-strong bullpen on Wednesday, activating right-hander Shawn Kelley from the disabled list and acquiring lefty David Huff from the Giants.
Kelley began the season as the Yankees' primary eighth-inning option and will rejoin the fold with Dellin Betances and Adam Warren.
"It just gives me more versatility," manager Joe Girardi said. "Gives me another late-inning guy with the two that we've had, that we've been using a lot, maybe you don't have one one day, as I said, I think all these guys are interchangeable. It gives us more depth."
Meanwhile, the Yankees acquired Huff -- who was with the Yankees last season -- for cash considerations.
Right-hander Matt Daley was optioned to Triple-A and left-hander Wade LeBlanc was designated for assignment.
Mariners: Smoak to DL; Morrison recalled
Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained left quad, retroactive to June 10, and rehabbing outfielder Logan Morrison was recalled from Triple-A Tacoma to fill his absence Wednesday.
Morrison has been out since mid-April with a strained right hamstring. He was just 3-for-20 with two runs scored in limited action before the injury, but had a productive rehab assignment with Triple-A Tacoma, batting .308 with three home runs in 18 games.
Morrison said he's been working on slowing his pace at the plate after being too pull-happy at the beginning of the season.
"I don't know if you saw before I got hurt, but everything was to my pull side, and pretty much a bunch of ground balls," he said.
The Mariners traded reliever Carter Capps to Miami for Morrison last December. The 26-year-old is a career .247 hitter whose best season came in 2011, when he hit 23 home runs and drove in 72 runs for the Marlins.
Smoak, meanwhile, has been in a slide since the beginning of May, as his batting average has plummeted to .208. He hopes to be ready to return to the lineup when the Mariners get back from their next road trip.
"He's going to continue to rehab here," McClendon said. "Hopefully, sometime next week, we'll get him out and get him some at-bats [on a rehab assignment]. Hopefully he'll be ready to go when we get back off the road."
Worth noting
• Mariners right fielder Michael Saunders was out of the lineup on Wednesday with a sore right shoulder. He's missed four of the last five games.
• Jacoby Ellsbury's RBI single Wednesday extended his hitting streak to 15 games, marking the longest active streak in the Majors and the fourth longest in the American League this season.

Santana seeks repeat against hot-hitting Padres
Braves right-hander stifled San Diego on Monday; Kennedy returns
Braves right-hander Ervin Santana had to be licking his chops for another go at the Padres after churning out his finest start of the season against San Diego on Monday. Or at least he was before the Padres erupted for 10 runs on 20 hits in Friday's series opener at Petco Park.
The Padres followed July's National League-leading run differential by beating the Braves by nine runs after Atlanta compiled just four hits on the evening.
So, Santana's start couldn't come at a better time, considering he tied a career high in strikeouts with 11 over eight scoreless innings against the Padres his last time out.
Santana has lasted at least seven innings in four of his past five starts and catcher Evan Gattis saw Santana's confidence spike in his last go against San Diego.
"It was just good rhythm," Gattis said. "There were a couple of times shaking [off signs] and sometimes just shaking to throw guys off, but it was unbelievable. His command and game plan and everything, I thought he did unbelievable."
The Braves should have their work cut out for them against Ian Kennedy, even with the Padres right-hander coming off a left oblique injury that cost him a start.
As of late, Kennedy just can't seem to lose. Even after issuing a season-high five walks in his most recent start against the Cubs, Kennedy still notched a victory.
Kennedy hasn't lost since June 25, and in six career starts against the Braves, he boasts a 2-0 record.
Of course, the norm for most pitchers hasn't held true for Kennedy this season. In Petco Park, his ERA is a exactly a run higher than it is on the road (4.18 to 3.18).
Padres: How about that ... offense?
Without a doubt, it's been a tough season for the Padres' offense, which has been shut out a Major League-leading 16 times this season.
That said, since the start of the second half on July 18, the Padres have scored a total of 71 runs in 14 games, which is the highest total in the NL.
Only the Blue Jays (82 runs), Indians (74) and White Sox (73) have scored more runs than the Padres since the All-Star break.
Braves: Bonifacio lands in lineup
When the Braves acquired Emilio Bonifacio, they knew his versatility would pay dividends. They just didn't realize how quickly.
One day after the team acquired him and left-hander James Russell in a Trade Deadline deal with the Cubs, Bonifacio was called upon to start in right field with Jason Heyward's back forcing him to miss another game.
Batting eighth in his debut, Bonifacio finished 0-for-2 with two walks. Although his 14 doubles and 14 stolen bases are promising in his part-time role with the Cubs, manager Fredi Gonzalez made it clear Bonifacio won't be a regular. And don't expect him to bump B.J. Upton out of the leadoff spot either.
"I want to keep my guy there [in the leadoff spot]," Gonzalez said. "I think he's had some success there in that spot. That's what we want to do. We want to put guys in positions where they've been successful. 'Boni' is not an everyday guy and I don't want to jerk B.J. around."
Worth noting
• Left-hander Robbie Erlin threw 2 1/3 scoreless innings for Double-A San Antonio on Friday as he works his back from elbow soreness. He allowed three hits, one walk and struck out one on 42 pitches.
• On Friday, the Braves designated outfielder Jordan Schafer for assignment and optioned left-hander Chasen Shreve to Triple-A to make room for Bonifacio and Russell on the active roster.
