Today, Afghanistan’s new president, Ashraf Ghani, looked on as U.S. Ambassador James Cunningham and Afghan National Security Advisor Hanif Atmar signed a bilateral security agreement (BSA) between the two countries that will ensure a U.S./NATO troop presence in Afghanistan beyond the end of this calendar year. |
The long awaited agreement allows approximately 9,800 U.S. forces to join another 2,000 NATO troops that will remain in the country and assist Afghan Security Forces as they continue to battle a determined Taliban. Additional provisions allow special operations forces to conduct counterterrorism missions and to maintai... |
The U.S diplomatic effort to reach this point has been significant. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry traveled to Kabul on multiple occasions over the last year to coax the political process. Countless engagements with former President Karzai failed to persuade him to adopt this bilateral partnership. Even after the L... |
With over three years invested in crafting the agreement, the particulars are rather unremarkable. What is remarkable, however, is the speed with which President Ghani’s administration signed it. Nothing happens quickly in Afghanistan, particularly in the bureaucratic cogs of a fledgling government, but President Ghani... |
Kersey – The Platte Valley football team is off to an impressive 2-0 start after a 52-6 victory against Denver Christian on Friday night. |
Platte Valley senior quarterback Jordan Smith ran for four touchdowns and threw for two more. Senior running back Clay Flot amassed 81 yards on 10 carries, but it was the Broncos’ stifling defense that made the biggest impact. |
The Broncos allowed just 27 rushing yards, and most of those yards came on Denver Christian’s touchdown drive late in the fourth. Before the drive, the Crusaders had negative rushing yards. |
Platte Valley coach Mike DeWall said senior linebacker Aaron Olson and senior linebacker Seth Baladez helped control the middle. |
The Broncos have started 2-0 face a big test next week at 2-0 Faith Christian. |

Running back Jacob Molina scored Windsor’s second touchdown from 8 yards out to put the Wizards (1-0 3A Tri-Valley, 2-0) up 14-0. |
It was sophomore slotback Aaron Schmidt’s time to take over. Schmidt scored on a 45-yard run to make it a 20-0 game, and then made a great 37-yard touchdown catch over a defender with 17 seconds left in the half to put Windsor up 27-0. |

Pawnee 52, Woodlin 6: In Grover, the Coyotes received a strong all-around effort to earn even their record at 1-1. |

The Pittsburgh Steelers will take on the Miami Dolphins Sunday at Heinz Field and below are seven things to watch for in the game. |
No Pony Tricks – Mike Wallace makes his long-awaited return to Pittsburgh on Sunday and he’d love nothing more than to add his name to the long last of wide receivers that have registered a double explosive play against the Steelers defense this season. Wallace’s deep ball production is down this season, but that means... |
Ride The Bell Cow – The Steelers currently own the longest game streak in the league without a 100 yard rusher, but they will go against a Dolphins defense on Sunday that hasn’t been great against the run this season. Miami has allowed an average of 121.8 rushing yards a game so far and 4.2 yards per carry. Bell appear... |
Babysit Adams – With Kelvin Beachum sidelined by a knee injury, Mike Adams will make his first start at left tackle since being benched following the Week 4 loss in London. Adams will be going against Dolphins defensive end Olivier Vernon, who has been on fire rushing the passer as of late. The Steelers must give Adams... |
Lay The Wood & Worilds On Claybo – Dolphins right tackle Tyson Clabo is the Miami version of Adams as he has already allowed 10 sacks, 9 hits and 26 hurries coming into this game. LaMarr Woodley will see his first action Sunday since suffering a calf injury way back in Week 10 and the early word is that he will have hi... |
Wheeler Routes – Not only has Dolphins weak outside linebacker Philip Wheeler been bad against the run this season, he’s also been a liability in pass coverage. That means the Steelers need to get him singled up on either Bell, Heath Miller or Will Johnson as many times possible in this game. Wheeler has allowed a 74% ... |
Get Off The Damn Field – The Steelers defense has been very inconsistent this season at being able to get off the field on third downs and their inability to accomplish that Thanksgiving night against the Baltimore Ravens was one of the main reasons why they lost the game. The Dolphins have been bad this season on thir... |
Break The Fins Turnover & Sack Streak – The Dolphins defense has recorded at least one turnover in every game this season and at least one interception in all but one game. They currently have an eight game interception streak going and have recorded at least two or more sacks in nine straight games. |
Many people assume that if they have insurance, a copay for a prescription costs less than the drug’s actual cost. But according to a recent report from the University of Southern California, copays actually cost more than the retail price of the drug almost 25 percent of the time. For example, if a patient’s insurance... |
The USC study analyzed 9.5 million prescriptions filled during the first half of 2013. It showed an average overpayment of $7.69, totaling $135 million that year. That money, known as a “clawback,” usually goes to the pharmacy benefit managers (PBM), the middlemen that strike deals between insurance companies, drug com... |
But that’s not all: some of the contracts that pharmacists sign with the PBMs forbid them from voluntarily telling a customer they could save money if they paid out of pocket. Several states have begun to outlaw these “gag clauses,” and Congress is considering legislation, too. |
Three large PBMs—CVS Caremark, Express Scripts and OptumRX—control more than two-thirds of the market. The PBMs say the deals they facilitate help bring down the overall cost of drugs. The Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, which represents PBMs, says it supports consumers paying the lowest prices and does not... |
We’re asking: Have you ever discovered your prescription is cheaper if you don’t use your insurance? The PBS NewsHour Weekend reporting team is gathering stories about the high cost of prescription drugs and patients’ experiences at the pharmacy. Submit your story using this simple form. |
Labour wants to increase safety in small communities by turning the 62 one-person police stations nationwide into two-person stations. |
Labour will also restore police numbers in stations around the country that they claim had resources reduced to boost the 300 extra police in South Auckland. |
That will mean funding an extra 145 constables in the first term of a Labour-led Government, including the doubling the staffing of one-person stations. |
The policing policy, released this morning, centres on a community policing model to target crime hot spots such as youth crime, burglary and family violence. |
"The focus is often on headline-grabbing crimes, but it is crime as the lower end of the criminal scale that makes far more people feel unsafe," said law and order spokesman Clayton Cosgrove said. |
"That's what 'sweating the small stuff' is about. Labour is determined that so-called petty crime must be treated seriously. |
"It may mean needing to rethink how police resources are deployed, with greater use of non-sworn staff at crime scenes to free up constables for investigative work. We need police to be able to focus better on crime prevention and resolution." |
In 2010/2011 there were 59,361 recorded instances of unlawful entry with intent/burglary/breaking and entering, with only a 15.2 per cent resolution rate. |
Theft and related offences only had a 23.8 per cent resolution rate. |
The low resolution rate leads to the public feeling unsafe, Mr Cosgrove said, and policing petty crime will help prevent many offenders graduating to more serious offending. |
Prevention of crime will also be a priority, and putting children at the centre of social policy will be central to this. |
Labour's corrections policy continues its focus on reducing re-offending. |
"We will also resource programmes that manage the integration of prisoners back into society. |
"Investing in greater community safety makes sense financially as well as in human terms." |
