What are full width portable wheelchair ramps?
Full width portable wheelchair ramps are the most popular style ramps that have been designed to load manual wheelchairs, powerchairs, or scooters. These ramps generally come in a few different styles to help ease mobility along with minimizing the storage space required to store these ramps when not in use. This style of ramp typically comes with a solid grit tape or "bleacher seat" style surface with the entire width of the ramp being around 28″-30″ depending on the model/manufacturer.
What are wheelchair track ramps?
Track ramps are much different than your standard wheelchair ramp because they do not have a full width driving surface. Track ramps come in two "track" sections which have to be aligned properly to assure safe loading. This style of loading ramp is sold mainly as telescoping models which allows the tracks to be extended to a max length & then slid in to itself to make it half it's maximum length. Each track is usually 9″ to 10″ in overall width & comes equipped with a sand paper grit material as it's surface.

The Oswego State Men's ACHA D1 hockey team began their 2013-14 season with a trip to John Carroll University in Ohio and Mercyhurst University in Pa.
The Lakers, in their first game of the season, faced #19 John Carroll on Saturday. The first period was scoreless until early in the second period when Oswego got on the scoreboard first as Chris Timmons scored on a pass from freshman Andrew Schutt. The home team scored 2 goals during the second to go up 2-1. The third period saw John Carroll scoring early to make the score 3-1. The Laker defense did a great job as the home team could not score again until Laker goalie Dylan Niewiemski was pulled for an extra skater and John Carroll scored the empty net goal. Niewiemski had 32 saves for Oswego.
The following day Oswego was in Erie, Pa. for the annual Laker Showdown with Mercyhurst University, who are also called The Lakers.

The third period saw Mercyhurst evening the score with 2 goals which sent the game into overtime. No one scored during the extra 5 minutes and according the ACHA rules, the game must go into a shootout.
Oswego Lakers Kegan Storjohann scored in the shootout to keep Oswego alive and Devin Coon scored the game winner. Sophomore goaltender Dylan Niewiemski had 44 saves for his first Oswego win.
After the game, the Lakers were presented with the trophy by the Mercyhurst coaching staff. It will stay with Oswego until the game next year when Mercyhurst travels to Oswego.

Dear Editor 29.October.2013
October 29, 2013
Dear Editor:
The Oswego State Men's ACHA D1 hockey team would like to thank the Oswego community for their support during our second annual Pink the Rink weekend which was held October 25-27. We raised $1,003 for the Upstate Cancer Center, bringing our 2 year donation total to $2,203.00.
We could not have done this without the help of others. A big thank you to our honored pink puck droppers Greg Molfese, Christie Casciano from ABC News channel 9 and Mrs. Mary Gosek. We would also like to thank Bridge Street on channel 9 for promoting our weekend and to WTOP at Oswego State for the live broadcast of our game on Sunday.
Thank you to the Greater Baldwinsville Ice Arena for the use of their rink for 2 of our games and to Tara, Ashley and Easton, all music majors at Oswego State who sang our national anthem at the games. A big thank you goes to the Oswego State women's figure skaters for their help on Sunday with the chuck a puck contests.
We would like to recognize our opponents for the weekend- Niagara University, St. Bonaventure University and Syracuse University – who also participated by pinking their sticks and skates. A special thank you goes to St. Bonaventure for their generous team donation to the Cancer Center which they presented to us on Saturday.
We could not have done this without the support of our fans and, especially of our parents. They brought items to raffle off, spent countless hours at the rink setting up and selling tickets and providing help when we needed it. You are the best.
As a team, we realize how lucky we are and we feel very fortunate that we are able to give back to our community in some small way. Even though our pink jerseys and socks are being stored away until next season, we are already looking forward to next year when we hope to raise more funds to help this worthy cause.
Real men do wear pink.

Lakers face RPI, Timmons 100th point 29.January.2014
Oswego State Men's ACHA Hockey News
The Oswego State Men's ACHA hockey team returned home to the campus center on Saturday to play their first game there in over 2 months as they hosted Supereast power house RPI. This was the first meeting between these two teams and the Lakers defeated the Engineers 8 – 0.
The first period was back and forth down the ice and ended with neither team scoring. Oswego came out on fire, however, for the second period and scored 5 unanswered goals. Scoring for the Lakers were Matt Brady, Bobby Drexler, Chris Timmons, Nick Winters and Andrew Schutt with assists credited to Richie Santini, Brady, Kegan Storjohann, Mike Lucarelli, Devin Smith, Timmons, Matt Peters and Schutt.
The third period was also all Oswego as the Lakers scored 3 additional goals. Teris Wright, Storjohann and Schutt found the back of the RPI net as the assists went to Robert Colyvas, Timmons and Storjohann.
Sophomore goaltender Dylan Niewiemski had 28 saves in the win and the Lakers outshot the Engineers 49 to 28. Niewiemski also recorded his 5th shutout of the season.
Senior assistant captain Chris Timmons scored his 100th career point as a Laker and was awarded the game puck.
Coach Jay Peacock was especially proud of the team's success as every line scored during the game.
Although this was a non- league game, one team statistic that stands out is that Niewiemski and the stingy Laker defense have only allowed one goal in the past 5 league games.
Oswego would like to thank the local fans who turned out for the game, especially the two youth hockey teams from Fulton and Saratoga. A lucky Saratoga fan was also the winner of the raffled off Oswego jersey.
The Lakers will host the University of Buffalo this Sunday at 1:00 at the Greater Baldwinsville Ice Arena in Lysander. This is the second meeting this season for the two teams and Oswego hopes to avenge an earlier season loss to the Bulls.
Oswego is a D1 ACHA hockey team- one of 59 across the country- and a member of the NECHL.

3-0 Weekend, Senior Night 29.January.2014

Saratoga Trio Making a Difference at Oswego 29.January.2014
It's an unusual position for this trio of Saratoga Springs alums.
Brendon Wormley, Devin Smith and Nick Winters find themselves on a team fourth in the league, heading into a postseason as something other than an anticipated finalist.
The one familiar aspect of it all is these three freshman forwards for Oswego State's club team are still together.
"We all talked about it as we were narrowing our college choices down," Wormley said. "All three of us knew that Oswego was definitely up on the list. We all wanted to continue playing hockey. We did really all just make the decision on our own, as far as where was best for us, but it was talked about in the locker room last year and after the season.
"Once we decided we were going to play together, it was a good feeling knowing we were going to go into this season knowing some guys in the locker room and not going into it blind."
Wormley is a business administration major, Smith a wellness management major and Winters a bio-chem major.
Coach Jay Peacock is familiar enough with Section II athletics to know getting three guys from the Blue Streaks' roster, a roster that won last year's NYSPHSAA Division I championship, is a sweet deal.
Peacock is an Albany Academy alumnus and was the athletic director at Schenectady from 1997-2000.
"They've contributed in such a huge way that it's made us a real power in the league we play in," Peacock said. "And we play in a league where the top teams draw a lot of their kids from junior programs, so we've got 18-year-old freshmen playing against 21-year-old freshmen."
In 25 games, the Lakers have 16 regulation wins, one in overtime, one tie, five regulation losses, one in overtime and one in a shootout.
They have three games left on the schedule before playing No. 5 Canisius in the quarterfinals of the Northeast Collegiate Hockey League tournament on Feb. 28. The league is one of seven in the American Collegiate Hockey Association.
In their last two seasons at Saratoga, the trio combined for 70 goals and 118 assists. In a combined 57 games as freshmen at Oswego State, they have 20 goals and 31 assists.
Peacock said last season, his rookies posted maybe five goals. Wormley has nine goals and 18 assists in 25 games this season.
Smith is playing on a line with another freshman and a junior, and he has six goals and 10 assists in 20 games. Winters has five goals and three assists in 12 games and has spent more time getting the puck into open areas for his more experienced linemates, Peacock said.
"It's definitely a lot quicker," Smith said. "You've got to move the puck a little more, you've got to know where your teammates are. I'm on a line with two good hockey players, and it's made it easier for me because they play pretty much the same style I do. Overall, though, the game is much quicker than in high school."
"It's faster, quicker, but it's been nice to know you're playing with two guys who, you know what they like to do," Winters said. "If you get out there with Brendon on the point, you know if you get the puck to him, it's going on goal. Little things like that that you know are going to happen, that makes it easier."
All three were captains last season with Saratoga. This season, they are, for the most part, letting the upperclassmen run the show.
Wormley said he took a couple of weeks to get acclimated, but being a talker, he eventually started stepping in and offering his thoughts in the locker room.
Smith and Winters take slightly different approaches.
"We've been captains before, we've been leaders on a team, and we know when to step up and say something," Smith said. "Being a freshman, I just try to lead by example and work as hard as I can."
Winters prefers to help any teammates in need with one-on-one conversations.
"I like, when you're on the ice or on the bench, just between linemates, helping them out or talking through plays," he said. "Just giving help when it's needed here and there."
Buffalo and Syracuse are the top dogs in the league and received byes to the semifinals, but the young Lakers have a confidence of champions and are excited about the challenge.
"In the playoffs, everybody knows anything can happen," Wormley said. "Anybody can beat anybody. While Syracuse and Buffalo are definitely the top right now, we know they're not that much better than us and we could definitely pull an upset in there and come away with the championship."
2013-2014 Season Comes to a Close 18.March.2014
With expectations high coming into the season, the Lakers looked to make a difference this past season. A lot of new and young faces bolstered a Lakers roster that would set a new record for most wins in one season. Traveling everywhere from Buffalo, Michigan, and Ohio, this year's schedule made for some good match-ups. Although the season did not end the way they had envisioned, this season was certainly one to remember. Now the Lakers must prepare for this upcoming off-season to replace some of the talent that will be leaving us next year. We wish those graduating players nothing but the best as they continue on with their careers on and off the ice. As for the returning players, they will make strides to improve themselves and the organization with some changes internally. Moving forward, it was a year to be proud of and we will be prepared for the next one, to make it bigger and better.
Brian Young Named Head Coach 27.April.2014
April 27 2014
Starting at the beginning of the 2014-2015 season, ex-Assistant Coach and Regional Scout Brian Young will take over as Head Coach of the Oswego State Lakers.
Coach Brian Young is an Oswego State Alumnus and has been the Head Coach of the Churchville-Chili Varsity High School team previous to accepting the position with the Lakers. As well as being a head coach, Coach Young was an Assistant Coach the past two seasons at Oswego, traveling to any games he was able to, due to his other commitments. Young has been acting as a regional scout for the team and has been in contact with many prospective players who inquire about the program. The program and players are very excited for the opportunity to work with Young.

DONGHUI VILLAGE, China - The pig farmer was not in a good mood. Standing in front of barns that hold more than 500 pigs, the man with muck-splattered boots said he's been losing money as the price of pork falls and the cost of feed and other supplies climb.
When some of his pigs started dying early this year, following a series of temperature swings and rains, there was little choice but to throw them out, said the farmer, who asked that only his surname, Wang, be used. Previously, farmers in the area would have sold them to a dealer who bought dead, sometimes diseased, pigs and illegally resold them to be packaged for consumer consumption. But late last year, the government began cracking down on that trade.
"We had no place to put them. We can't sell them anymore - if we do, we will be punished," said Wang, 43. "So there's nothing we could do but dump them secretly."
The results were as spectacular as they were nauseating: More than 14,000 pig corpses were found floating in the Huangpu River and its tributaries last month. The flotilla of putrid flesh was bobbing along in a major source of drinking water for Shanghai, home to more than 20 million people and a showcase city for the nation.
The chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, Xi Jinping, has spoken repeatedly about working toward a "Chinese Dream" and a great rejuvenation of the country. But the pigs-in-the-river scandal is a reminder of the distance that lies between that lofty rhetoric and the many grimmer aspects of life in China.
Put another way, the further one gets from places like Shanghai, the dimmer the horizon.
Last week, a clutch of tall, slim models could be viewed readying for a fashion show near Shanghai's Bund promenade along on the banks of the Huangpu. A doorman with white gloves stood ready outside a Cartier boutique. At a rooftop cafe high above the street, tourists and moneyed Chinese took afternoon tea service and cigar smoke wafted through the air.
Upriver, in the pig farming communities along the labyrinth of murky waterways that feed the Huangpu, the challenges confronting China in the shadows of its economic rise were harder to ignore.
In Donghui, a speck on the map to the southwest of Shanghai in neighboring Zhejiang province, farmers spoke of a lack of money and information. With financial worries never far, locals say the decision to sell dead pigs to shady brokers was not difficult, despite the fact that it could mean dangerous meat making its way to the dinner table.
The roundup of illegal meat resellers was an effort to address one facet of China's widespread problems with food safety. But in its immediate wake, another problem formed -farmers without many resources were left with a lot of dead pigs. Officials have since pledged to expand both pickup and disposal services.
Like the men standing around him in Donghui, all pig farmers, Wang had no answer for what illness, specifically, had killed his animals this year. Asked about the government's approach to the situation so far, one of the farmers spoke up.
"Those people sit in offices and they hear about the pigs in the river from lower levels … so how can they learn what's really happening," said Wu Qibin, 42.
The sentiments were similar in Zhulin, a village about 65 miles from Shanghai that state media has identified as a trouble spot for the pig deaths.
One farmer complained in an interview that "when there's disease we don't understand what's going on, and they (officials) don't tell us which vaccines to use."

Nearly everyone has holes in their budgets. And as with other kinds of leaks, you may have hardly noticed some of them. But those small drips can quickly add up to big bucks. The trick is to find the holes and plug them so you can keep more money in your pocket. That extra cash could be the ticket to finally being able to save, invest or break your cycle of living from paycheck to paycheck.
We've updated our popular list of money-wasters with even more tips and resources to help you cut unnecessary expenses from your budget. Consider these 28 common ways people waste money. If any of them sound familiar, start plugging your budget holes right away.
Carrying a Balance
Debt is a shackle that holds you back. For instance, if you have a $1,000 balance on a credit card that charges an 18% rate, you blow $180 every year on interest. Carrying a balance can also cost you down the line in the form of a lower credit score that will trigger higher interest rates on your loans.
Get in the habit of paying off your balance in full each month - or at least limiting your balance to 25% or less of your available credit.
Buying Brand-Name Instead of Generic
From groceries to clothing to prescription drugs, you can save money by choosing an off-brand over a fancy label. And in many cases, you won't sacrifice much in quality. Clever advertising and fancy packaging don't make brand-name products better than lesser-known brands. For example, a 30-day supply of cholesterol-lowering drug Lipitor costs about $154, but a generic version costs half as much, according to DestinationRx, which creates drug-comparison tools for insurers and consumers.
QUIZ: Are You Saving Enough for Retirement?
Paying Late Fees and Missing Deadlines
If you pay a stack of bills every month, it's easy to overlook one or two every now and then. But if you miss a credit card payment by even one day, you will pay a late fee of $25 ($35 if it's the second time in six months). Your credit score could also take a hit if you pay your bill late. Your history of on-time payments accounts for 35% of your FICO credit score -- more weight than any other factor. If you pay the bill within 30 days of the due date, the lender might not report the delay to the credit bureaus. But if you let the bill go longer than that, the card issuer is more likely to inform the credit agencies and turn over your case to its collections department.
If you have a good payment record -- especially if you have paid on time for an entire year -- call your card issuer and ask that the late fee be waived. To avoid missing deadlines, set up payment alerts to be delivered by e-mail or a text message from your credit card company.
Buying Insurance You Don't Need
You only need life insurance if someone, such as a child, is financially dependent upon you. That means most singles, seniors and kids don't need a policy.
Other policies you can probably do without include credit-card insurance (better to use the premium to pay down your debt in the first place), rental-car insurance (most auto policies and credit cards carry some coverage) and mortgage life insurance (a regular term-life insurance policy is more comprehensive). See 5 Insurance Policies You Don't Need for coverage that isn't worth buying.
Overspending on Gas and Oil
There's no need to spring for premium fuel if the auto manufacturer says regular is just fine. You should also check to make sure your tires are optimally inflated to get the best gas mileage. And are you still paying for an oil change every 3,000 miles? Many models nowadays can last 5,000 to 7,000 miles between changes, and some even have built-in sensors to tell you when it's time to change the oil. Check your owner's manual to find the best time for your car's routine maintenance.
To lower your gas costs even more, consider one of our picks for the 15 Most Fuel-Efficient Cars, 2013.
Keeping Unhealthy Habits
Smoking costs a lot more than what you pay for a pack of cigarettes. The average price per pack of cigarettes in the U.S. is $6.03, but the health-related costs per pack are $35, according to the American Cancer Society. Over a year, those added costs can amount to $12,775 for a pack-a-day smoker.
Another habit to quit: indoor tanning. There is now a 10% tax on indoor tanning services. As with cigarettes, the true cost of tanning -- one of the most dangerous forms of cancer-causing radiation -- is higher than the price you pay each time you go to the tanning salon.
Once you kick your bad habits, you'll save even more if you institute these six healthy habits.
QUIZ: Test Your Financial Fluency
Paying Too Much for a Mutual Fund
VTI), which tracks the CRSP US Total Market Index. On a $50,000 investment, that's a savings of $625 per year over the average managed fund.Mutual fund fees can weigh down performance. The average diversified U.S. stock fund charges about 1.3% a year in expenses. If your fund isn't beating its benchmark, you're better off buying a low-cost index fund or exchange-traded fund that matches the benchmark. For example, you'll pay an annual expense ratio of just 0.05% to invest in the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (
It is possible to outperform a benchmark with a well-managed fund (although it's not guaranteed). Stick with no-load funds, which can save you more than 5% in sales charges. See our favorite no-load mutual funds in the Kiplinger 25. And watch out for other nickel-and-diming, including low-balance fees or charges for paper statements.
Passing up Tax Breaks
There's a good chance you're among the millions of taxpayers who overpay taxes each year by overlooking deductions to which you're entitled. Failing to maintain a file of tax receipts throughout the year, rushing to file your taxes at the last minute, and fearing an IRS audit are all reasons that may keep you from claiming perfectly valid deductions. See if you've missed one of these commonly overlooked tax breaks. If you have, by all means, claim it! That money is yours. Just be sure you have the documentation to prove it.
Opting for a Low Insurance Deductible
A low deductible may seem appealing as you ponder a costly claim down the line, but you'll pay a lot more in higher premiums. Boosting your deductible from $200 to $500 can reduce your collision and comprehensive auto insurance premiums by 15% to 30%; raising it to $1,000 can save you 40% or more. If your homeowners insurance deductible is $500, increasing it to $1,000 can lower your premiums by up to 20%. Besides, when you have a low deductible, you might be tempted to file claims more frequently for small amounts. Insurers don't like frequent claims on your record and can punish you with higher rates.
Before raising your deductible, however, make sure you have enough cash in your emergency savings account to cover it if you ever file a claim. You won't have to rely on costly credit cards to bail you out.
Leaving Your Money in a Low-Interest Account
If you're stashing your cash in a traditional savings account earning next to nothing, you're wasting it. Make sure you're getting the best return on your money. Search for the highest yields on CDs and money market savings accounts. And consider using a free online checking account that pays interest, such as ones offered by Ally Bank and EverBank.

Shooting began earlier this week on Roman Polanski's "Carnage," a film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play "Gods Of Carnage" by Yasmina Reza. Stars Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly and Christoph Waltz have traveled to Paris to the shoot the film about two sets of parents that come together to hash it out after their children get into a playground fight. True to the title, the meeting eventually turns out bad for all as the parents begin to attack and turn on each other. Winslet and Waltz play husband and wife Nancy and Alan, while Foster and Reilly as Penelope and Michael. The film is being produced by Said Ben Said through SBS Productions with ICM repping sales in the U.S.
The plays has been adapted for the screen by both Reza and Polanski. It premiered in 2006 and landed on Broadway in 2009 to rave reviews: according to Ben Brantley of the New York Times, the play is "a study in the tension between civilized surface and savage instinct... a satisfyingly primitive entertainment with an intellectual veneer." The original cast included Jeff Daniels, Hope Davis, Marcia Gay Harden and James Gandolfini. Polanski said about the material, "As soon as I saw the play I thought it would make an exciting movie...It's a challenge to make a film in real time, without a single ellipse."
Winslet has HBO movie "Mildred Pierce" coming out later this year, and she will also been seen in Steven Soderbergh's much anticipated "Contagion." Foster has "The Beaver" coming out this year, a film that she directed, and it was recently announced that she would join Matt Damon and Sharlto Copley in Neill Blomkamp's "Elysium." Waltz is looking to gain some credibility back after starring as the villain in the terrible "Green Hornet" movie, but he also has "Water for Elephants" and "The Three Musketeers" coming out this year. Reilly also has a few projects this year, including the comedy "Cedar Rapids" that just premiered at Sundance and Lynne Ramsay's "We Need to Talk About Kevin" with Tilda Swinton. Needless to say, the cast is a great one and should be able to recreate a theater-like atmosphere on the screen. No word yet on a release date but maybe if Polanski hustles, a Venice/TIFF premiere?

Great, the child rapist is doing a new movie... Booooooooooooring...
Rosemary B. | February 3, 2011 10:26 AM
The Ben Brantley description made it sounds amazing and I can't remember a John C. Reilly movie that wasn't great.
sp | February 3, 2011 6:45 AM
I saw this lovely play on Broadway with the original cast, and it was perfection. I just pray this film and the actors do justice to the remarkable play. I not sure I would have hired Jodie Foster in this adaptation- Laura Linney , Holly Hunter, or Mary Louise Parker would have been wonderful casting.
P.S. It is rare for a well-regarded play to be adapted to a fine feature film. Doubt turned out to be a hideous film adaptation. Meryl Streep & Amy Adams didn't deserve their Oscar nominations for that lousy film.
adfafd | February 3, 2011 5:34 AM
btw the play is called God of Carnage, not Gods.
Paolo | February 3, 2011 3:49 AM
With the exception of Waltz's Alan, they change the names around.

I won't deny it…I love chocolate. Can you relate? However, eating too much is easy to do and I have to be careful not to keep it around the house. I knew I was in "trouble" when my bag of Lindt Lindor Truffles arrived at my doorstep. You see, I agreed to post about these tasty truffles (knowing I loved them from previous experience) but I also knew that once the bag was open, it would be hard to resist.
I was right.
Hard to resist. I think I ate 3 or 4 in one sitting. It was time to distribute them and get them out. A little is wonderful, and so very yummy, but when you have week willpower, like myself (for chocolate, anyway), then you run into a problem. I got creative.
For the holidays, I like to give my special friends a small gift. This year, those gifts will include Lindt Linor Truffles. In a small drawstring bag, I lovingly packed lip gloss, purse-size hand lotion and Lindt Lindor Truffles. A small and special treat for my sweet friends to enjoy. No one goes into chocolate overload but they all enjoy a few truffle balls!
I also love to have a bowl of the truffles out on Christmas Day. Before dinner is served we often snack on treats (Backwards? Yes. Tasty? Yes. Hey, it's a holiday!) and Lindt Linor Truffles are a special addition to the buffet.
Finally, and most importantly, Lindt Lindor Truffles just over 5 grams of carbs each (serving size is 3 pieces at 16 gms). This means a person with Type 1 Diabetes may have one as a "free" snack and those of us who don't, can enjoy as well without guilt. Allow yourself a treat, one a day is a fabulous way!
I love the individually wrapped truffles, using them to build gifts and having them to serve special people in my life. Check out the Lindt website for many purchasing options. They have several gift ready options as well as cases of truffles and other Swiss chocolates that are perfect for the holidays!
Nothing tastes quite like the Lindor Truffles. Created only by Lindt's Master Chocolitiers, it's exquisite chocolate filled with a smooth chocolate center. When the irresistable center starts to melt…so will you. Smooth. Flowing. Luscious. Chocolate like no other.
Treat yourself and your loved ones. You're worth it!

**Thank you to the comment below for pointing out that these treats are NOT gluten-free. It's always best to check with the manufacturer to get the most accurate and recent information.
Per Lindt's site:
Is there gluten or barley malt in Lindt chocolate?
Gluten can be found in several premium chocolate products that Lindt & Sprungli produces; either as a cereal ingredient or as a barley component. Additionally, there are some specific premium chocolate products that are manufactured without cereal or barley malt; however, and even though Lindt & Sprungli incorporates the most stringent cleaning process of all of our manufacturing lines, trace amounts of these gluten ingredients and components may have the opportunity to come in contact with non gluten products, and therefore we cannot make the statement that any of our premium chocolate products are purely "gluten free." We are sensitive to the fact that there are large groups of consumers who are unable to enjoy our chocolate at this time, and we hope that in the future we will be able to accommodate the needs of all our consumers, and offer options to those with varying dietary requirements.

The United States is concerned that the re-organized first round of the Maldivian presidential election, set for October 19, may now be postponed. Under the Constitution, a new President is required to be sworn in by November 11, 2013. Further efforts to delay the electoral process could undermine the will of the people to choose their representative. The Electoral Commission has made concerted efforts to comply with the Supreme Court's requirements for a new first round, including the re-registration of thousands of voters. Political leaders must come together to ensure that participatory democracy is not undermined and that free, fair, credible and inclusive elections can take place peacefully and in line with international standards.

Eagles round up Buffalos in 70-6 rout
The Abilene High Eagles may not have played a perfect game, but they're getting close.
Behind another dominant first-half performance Friday, the third-ranked Eagles secured a playoff berth with a 70-6 victory over the Haltom City Buffalos at Shotwell Stadium.
Abilene High (8-0 overall, 4-0 District 3-5A) qualified for the playoffs for the 10th consecutive season with two games remaining. The Eagles host North Richland Hills Richland next week in a game that will likely determine the district championship.
"We're thrilled that we're in the playoffs for a 10th straight year," AHS coach Steve Warren said. "That's a difficult task. Goal number one that these kids set back in January was to get back to the playoffs and we punched that ticket tonight. Now we're looking forward to earning that district championship."
The Eagles scored on their first six possessions and 10 of 13 overall, while holding Haltom (2-7 overall, 2-3 District 3-5A) to 187 total yards and six first downs. Abilene High quarterback Stephen Warren passed for 268 yards and three touchdowns, two of them to Prentice Ashford, who had four catches for 93 yards. Zach Bass rushed for 86 yards and four TDs and Herschel Sims accounted for 188 yards and three TDs rushing and receiving.
Kicker Randy McKay tied his school record with 10 extra points in a game.
Warren said the fast start erased any concerns the Eagles may have had of a letdown coming off its open date. Abilene High led 42-6 at the break and has outscored its district opponents 186-18 in the first half, putting up at least 42 points each time.
"Whenever you have an open date, you never know how you're going to come out of it," he said. "I thought we came out fast and still had the same momentum that we had going into the break,
"It was a total team effort. I thought we executed extremely well across the board. Offensively, six straight possessions with scores. I'm just proud of my kids for going out and doing what we ask them to do, playing hard, working hard in practice and showing up out here on Friday nights."
Sims had his first 100-yard rushing performance with 111 yards on just three carries, scoring on runs of 45 and 63 yards. He also caught three passes, including one for a 49-yard touchdown on the second play of the third quarter.
"It was real fun," Sims said. "The offensive line had a pretty good game, probably the best game they've had all year. They executed well, then it was the right plays at the right time."
Ashford had TD receptions of 5 and 72 yards, while Bass scored on runs of 5, 3, 1 and 2 yards. The Eagles' final score came on a 10-yard pass from Ian Williams to Jason Gorman.
Abiliene High's performance was blemished by a 48-yard kickoff return by Haltom's Reuben Haynes and a 45-yard touchdown run by Dexter Braziel as the Buffalos answered the Eagles' opening score to trail 7-6. But any hopes the Buffalos, whose first four district games all were decided by six points or less, had of staying close evaporated as AHS scored three touchdowns over the next eight minutes.
"It was just a busted play," AHS outside linebacker Justin Carroll said of Haltom's TD. "We'll have one every once in a while, but it won't happen often.
"After we mess up, we're going to come back playing as hard as we were at the start of the game. That's all we can do."
The Buffalos also had a 38-yard completion from Aaron Shockey to Jordan Huynh, but that drive ended on downs at the AHS 33. Two plays later, Prentice caught his second TD pass to give the Eagles a 28-6 lead.
Braziel's run and Huynh's reception accounted for 44 percent of Haltom's 187 total yards for the game. Braziel finished with 63 yards on nine carries, while Buffalos quarterback Arron Shockey was 7-of-12 passing for 70 yards.

A report on the radio yesterday said Stanford's endowment is now 20 billion $.
So many useless numbers in this story. Intentional confusion?

yes, $19.7B does round to $20B...radio stories often give brief & simplistic soundbites.

Andrew Johnston has some unfortunate luck.
The Flyers prospect, currently in his first professional season, was sent from the Adirondack Phantoms to the Trenton Titans back in mid-November in order to get some extra playing time. He had been a healthy scratch in the AHL and the organization wanted him to get an opportunity to play a ton in the ECHL.
But in his first game with the Titans, Johnston took a hard hit in the third period. He played in the next game the following evening, but as it turns out, the 21-year-old has a concussion. The Trentonian reported that Friday afternoon, even though Johnston and head coach Vince Williams didn't confirm publicly.
"It didn't hit me until the next day," [Johnston] said. "When I came off (after the hit), with the adrenaline or whatever, I felt fine. I don't regret playing (the next day), I don't want to miss any games. That's the type of guy I am. If I felt fine to play, I'm going to go out and do that."
The paper says Johnston is day-to-day with the injury.

Children seek death
Kids on Hamas TV: "We want to die as Martyrs"
Source: Al-Aqsa TV (Hamas), May 8, 2014
Hamas TV reporter:
For most of these children, resistance has become a dream... When you speak to them, you're surprised by the strength and eloquence of their words.
Boy 1:
We love the resistance. We want to die as Martyrs. Long live the Martyrs...
Boy 2:
The Israeli occupation understands only resistance. We always love the resistance, to liberate our nation Palestine. And among us, the Martyrs are loved. Applause for the Martyrs...
The atmosphere in the refugee camp is full of the spirit of resistance and of those who inscribed its stories of heroism. Most of the walls show you the images of the Martyrs...
Boy 3:
The resistance, the armed resistance is what brings results in the Jenin refugee camp... The Jenin refugee camp continues to educate its children to resist, and passes on the flag to them, from generation to generation. They yearn for one of the two best outcomes – the return to their occupied lands, or Martyrdom.

Palestinian boy:
"By Allah, oh my father, I love you more than my own soul, but that is trivial because of my religion, my cause and my Al-Aqsa [Mosque]. Father, my eyes will shed no tears, but my finger will pull the trigger - this trigger that I still remember. I will never forget, beloved father, the times when you taught me the love of Jihad. You taught me the love of arms, so that I would be a knight, Allah willing. I will follow in your steps and fight the enemies on the battlefield. Every drop of blood that dripped from your pure body is worth dozens of bullets directed towards the enemies' chest. Tomorrow I will grow up, tomorrow I will avenge, and the battlefields will know who is the son of the Martyr, the commander, Ashraf Mushtaha. Finally, father, we are not saying goodbye, rather, I'll see you as a Shahid (Martyr) in Paradise. [I am] your son, who longs to meet you, the young knight, Naim, son of Ashraf Mushtaha."

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Fans can expect a game with the potential of many points scored as Starkville Academy travels to Senatobia Friday night to face Magnolia Heights.
"They put up 75 points last week," Volunteers coach Jeff Terrill said. "They are a very experienced and large football team. They have great size so they are a very physical bunch. Of course, they played for the Division II State championship last year and put us out of the playoffs, so we are both very familiar with each other. They have a really good team this year and are picked to win the North."
To combat the high scoring Magnolia Heights offense, Starkville Academy will be looking toward strong defensive athletes like Drew Harrell, Kirby Cox and Tripp Janssen.
"They are a catalyst to get us started," Terrill said. "They give great effort. They are playing good defensive football by not just running to the ball, but they understand the scheme. One hat has to fit with the other hat or it doesn't work so they do a good job of leadership."
The defense is more than ready to compete, but flip over to the other side and Houston Clark is prepared to step up as an offensive leader.
"Everybody is watching him mature himself," Terrill said. "He had a really good game last Friday night. He made a lot of good decisions and has some good plays."
Joining Clark in the offensive battle will be O'Shea Kemp, Grant Wolfe and Noah Heflin, who Terrill says are improving with every game.
"Like the quarterback, they are getting better," Terrill said. "It is getting to where it is not just a mister inside or a mister outside.
"One of the biggest improvements is Noah Hefllin. I know he can really run the ball, but last Friday night, he really blocked well on the perimeter and that made a lot open up."
With the players ready to compete, Terrill is hoping the things learned throughout the first few weeks will be applied tonight.
"We hope to compete at a higher level," Terrill said. "We have learned some lessons and we have hung in there. We think football, regardless of who it is. The first thing you do is protect that football and don't turn it over. (It) will be all about playing good defense and limiting some of that massive scoring they are doing."

Kelly Caba got the news Tuesday morning that her office at the U.S. Department of Agriculture was shutting down. Caba and her colleagues had a brief meeting and then they took part in shutdown procedures.
"It was a surreal experience", said Caba. "And then the reality that I was not going to get paid for a while set in."
Caba is also a staff sergeant with the Army Reserves. She was scheduled to take part in a training drill in a few days, but it will not take place during the shutdown, so she would miss out on another payday that would come 10 days after the end of the training session.
Caba, who is married and a mother of three, says her household depends on the paychecks from both parents. She has been deployed twice and says the stress that comes from the uncertainty of the shutdown is more intense than taking on enemy gunfire in Iraq.

Yo, so I bought 4 tickets to the sharks at kings for the last game of the 2013 NHL regular season.
My two friends bailed on me so i have the extra two tickets for $40 each. If you are financially challenged we might be able to work something out though. I would preferably give them to someone here instead of posting them for some random person that is going to elbow me all game for the armrest.
I don't really care what team you are a fan of just as long as you aren't a dick to me and my girlfriend for wearing the wrong colors. (actually you can be a dick to me, but not so much my girlfriend)
Having a ducks fan there just heckling both sides would be funny to me and is highly encouraged even though you guys have a game starting right before this one does.
The tickets are in section 322 row 12. So the extreme nosebleeds. I think it is on the side that the kings shoot twice but i would have to look that up to confirm and that's too much effort. Also I bought the tickets online so i can just email them to you so we don't have to stand outside the arena like idiots. I have an email account on my profile if you are interested in the tickets.
I don't have anything funny to say so i will just leave this deleted scene from community here
