Omnibus Crime Bill: Massive Conservative Legislation Passes After Brief Delay By NDP
OTTAWA - The Conservative government that rushed to pass a massive crime bill by curtailing debate in the House of Commons and Senate now says it will take its time making the new measures a reality on the street.
Prime Minister Stephen Harper's majority easily passed Bill C-10 on Monday evening by a vote of 154-129, sweeping aside a procedural delay by the NDP that stalled the bill's curtain call for five days.
The legislation, which includes nine separate bills, goes briefly back to the Senate and could get royal assent as early as Tuesday — meeting Harper's campaign promise last spring to pass the bill within 100 sitting days of a new parliament.
Working the changes through the justice system will take considerably longer.
"We're going to space out a number of them out," Justice Minister Rob Nicholson said outside the Commons before the final vote Monday.
"I indicated to my provincial colleagues when I met with them about a month ago now that, you know, we'll proclaim them into effect in consultation with them."
Nicholson didn't provide an order of precedence.
The bill increases sentences for drug and sex offences, reduces the use of conditional sentences such as house arrest, provides harsher penalties on young offenders, makes it more difficult to get a pardon, gives crime victims more say in parole hearings and allows victims of terrorism to sue.
Supporters, including victims rights groups and some police organizations, say the bill helps correct a justice system that has swung too far toward the rights of criminals.
Critics have said the changes will do nothing for public safety but will cost literally hundreds of millions of dollars from increased jail populations, much of it bourne by provinces and territories. The changes are also expected to clog the courts as many offenders will opt for trials rather than agreeing to a plea deal for a crime that carries a mandatory minimum sentence.
The government has never even attempted to answer what exactly the justice changes will achieve in terms of the overall crime rate, number of victims, the cost of crime to the community or the incidence of violent crime.
"This sends the message out to people if you get involved with this kind of activity, there will be serious consequences," Nicholson reiterated Monday.
Nor has the government ever provided a credible, detailed costing of the legislation.
Parliament's independent budget office spent six months researching one small aspect of the bill — curtailing the use of conditional sentences — and found it will cost the provinces about $750 million over the next five years, mostly for increased jail time.
New mandatory minimum jail terms for growing as few as six pot plants were internationally panned in an open letter to Harper that pointed out the war on drugs has been a repeated, dismal failure across the globe — fuelling the very violence and organized crime it is supposed to combat.
None of it has slowed the bill's inexorable progress.
This coming weekend marks the deadline Harper set last April when he made his catchy 100-day campaign promise on the crime agenda.
New Democrats used procedural tactics last week to momentarily delay the final vote, spoiling a Conservative communications exercise in Woodbridge, Ont., where several top Tories had flown at taxpayer expense to tout the legislation's expected passage.
Bill C-10 initially cleared the House of Commons in December, but in the government's haste — including time allocation to limit debate — it overlooked some important gaps that had been raised by Liberal MP Irwin Cotler, a former justice minister.
The Senate had to fix the victims of terrorism provisions, and sent the legislation back to the House last week for final approval.
"We're at the end of the road," said NDP justice critics Jack Harris, "but this government has persisted in pursuing a course of action that we heard much evidence is not actually going to reduce crime and not going to make our streets safer and is going in the wrong direction."
Harris noted the NDP supports tougher laws for child predators and the government could have had those new laws on the books months ago if it had agreed to split them off from more contentious elements.
Bob Rae, the interim Liberal leader, called the legislation "a very expensive adventure, a very expensive and frankly unnecessary experiment."
"It's not a real crime prevention strategy," said Rae. "It's a prison promotion strategy, it's an incarceration strategy, that I think will prove to be a very costly mistake for Canada."
15 Things Critics Fear In The Tory Crime Bill
Opposition parties, professionals working within the corrections and justice systems, the Canadian Bar Association and various other interest groups have raised wide-ranging concerns about the omnibus crime bill. Here is an overview of some of their objections. (CP/Alamy)
15. Harsher Sentences For Young Offenders
Changes to the Youth Criminal Justice Act will impose tougher sentences for violent and repeat young offenders, make it easier to keep such offenders in custody prior to trial and expand the definition of what is considered a "violent offence" to include "creating a substantial likelihood of causing bodily harm" rather than just causing, attempting to cause or threatening to cause bodily harm. The new legislation will also require the Crown to consider adult sentences for offenders convicted of "serious violent offences" and require judges to consider lifting the publication ban on names of offenders convicted of "violent offences" even when they have been given youth sentences. Some of the concerns around these provisions raised by some of the professionals who work with young offenders include: (Alamy)
14. Young Offenders - Naming Names
The publication of names of some young offenders will unjustly stigmatize them for life. Quebec has asked that provinces be allowed to opt out of this provision. (Getty)
13. Young Offenders - Stiffer Sentences
Stiffer, longer sentences will turn young offenders into hardened criminals and undermine any potential for rehabilitation. (Alamy)
12. Young Offenders - Minorities Take The Brunt
As with other parts of the crime bill, critics says harsher sentencing rules and increased emphasis on incarceration will disproportionately affect aboriginal and black Canadians, who are already over-represented in the criminal justice system. (Alamy)
11. Young Offenders - Forget Rehabilitation
The changes shift the emphasis of the Act from rehabilitation to "protection of society," which critics say will put the focus on punishing young offenders rather than steering them away from a life of crime. Quebec, in particular, which prides itself on the success of the rehabilitative aspects of its youth justice system, has argued for stronger language prioritizing rehabilitation. (Alamy)
10. Fewer Conditional Sentences
The legislation will eliminate conditional sentences, those served in the community or under house arrest, for a range of crimes, including sexual assault, manslaughter, arson, drug trafficking, kidnapping and fraud or theft over $5,000. It will also eliminate double credit for time already served. Critics say these changes will: (Getty)
9. Fewer Conditional Sentences - Spike Costs
Cost the federal and provincial justice and corrections systems millions of additional dollars a year. The parliamentary budget officer, Kevin Page, has estimated that the average cost per offender will rise from approximately $2,600 to $41,000 as a consequence of the elimination of conditional sentences. (Alamy)
8. Fewer Conditional Sentences - More Trials And Hearings
- Lead to more trials as those accused of crimes will be less likely to plead guilty if they know there is no chance they will get a conditional sentence and will be more likely to take their chances on a trial. Some have predicted this will lead to greater backlogs in an already backlogged court system. - Result in more parole hearings. Page's analysis predicted that with the increase in the number of incarcerations, there will be more offenders coming up for parole, which will increase costs for federal and provincial parole review boards. A single review by the Parole Board of Canada costs an estimated $4,289, Page estimated. (Alamy)
7. Mandatory Minimums
By far the most criticized aspect of the bill is the introduction of mandatory jail sentences for certain crimes, including drug trafficking, sex crimes, child exploitation and some violent offences. Opponents of the measures have argued that this type of sentencing has been tried in other jurisdictions, most notably in the U.S., and has created more problems than it has solved. Critics say that coupled with other changes in the bill, such as increases in the maximum sentences handed down to some drug offenders and sexual predators and elimination of conditional sentences in some cases, mandatory minimums will burden Canada's prison and court systems in ways that are unfeasible, untenable and have little benefit. In particular, they argue that mandatory minimum sentences will: (Jupiter Images)
6. Mandatory Minimums - Higher Costs
Increase the costs of prosecuting and incarcerating offenders and leave fewer funds for rehabilitation programs. (Alamy)
5. Mandatory Minimums - Overcrowding
Lead to overcrowding in prisons. (Alamy)
4. Mandatory Minimums - Make Judges Less Powerful
- Remove judges' discretion to tailor sentences to the specifics of a particular case and offender and force them to apply blanket, one-size-fits-all sentences regardless of circumstances - Limit the use of alternate sentencing measures of the type currently applied to aboriginal offenders. (Alamy)
3. Mandatory Minimums - Over-Punish Drug Offenders
Disproportionately punish small-time drug offenders and have limited effect on the drug producers, organized crime bosses and serious drug traffickers the government says it wants to target. (Alamy)
2. Mandatory Minimums - What's The Point?
Have little rehabilitative effect on offenders and rather leave them more, not less, likely to re-offend. Critics point to numerous studies showing harsher incarceration laws do not have a deterrent effect on criminals or lower crime rates. (Alamy)
1. Mandatory Minimums - What Charter?
Violate provisions of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and open up the government to legal challenges on grounds that the sentencing rules violate certain rights that offenders have under the Charter, such as the right to liberty, the right not to be subjected to cruel and unusual punishment and the right to equal protection and benefit of the law. (Alamy)

The Burr's Marina website marks 1961 as a milestone for the Thames River facility. This week's item hails from just before that time, as the seller notes that it was taken from a 1960 publication.
The advertisement, offered by Isthmus Books, is from the time when the marina was still known as Burr's Yacht Haven and phone numbers still had letters in them. Accompanying an aerial photo is a description of services, including "hauling, yacht sales and service, marine store, groceries, liquor, showers, & mail port."
The Pequot Ave. facility offers a similar range of services today and traces its history back more than a century. According to the history section of the marina's website, boating services first started in the 1900s with "a Canadian gentleman selling fuel from a 5-gallon container with a hand pump." Before it was known as Burr's Yacht Haven, it carried the name St. Germain Yacht Station. The Burr name comes from one of the marina's former owners, but fits nicely considering the first syllable of the current family of owners.
Ray Bergamo first started working at the marina as a general manager in 1961. A contemporary account says this was one of the most difficult seasons on record for boat owners due to the weather, with Bergamo commenting, "We started Jan. 1 and we've been battling the elements ever since. Considering the weather it's remarkable the progress that's been made." Bergamo purchased the marina the next year, and the family has maintained it ever since.
The advertisement measures three and a half inches by two and a half inches. It has been cut from the publication and retains its white coloring with some surface wear. The starting bid is $8, plus $2.80 for shipping and handling, and the auction ends at about 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

Enuvia Review
What You Need To Know
Enuvia is an internal cleanser for those who wish to be sure they are healthy from the inside out. Enuvia is a 3 part system that targets build up in the kidneys, liver and colon. It is distributed by Enuvia Research, LLC of Clearwater, Florida. The website is www.enuvia.com and provides a physical mailing address, an email address and a toll free number for questions, comments and customer support and service.
The first stage (colon cleanse) contains and makes use of psyllium husk, oat flour, bentonite, senna extract, cascara sagrada, aloe vera, goldenseal, acidophilus, rhubarb root, gentian root, and buckhorn bark as active ingredients. Other inactive ingredients include dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium stearate. The second stage of the system (kidney) includes parsley leaf, sage leaf, dandelion root, cranberry, soy protein, goldenseal, and cayenne pepper along with dicalcium phosphate, microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium as minor ingredients. The third step of this system (liver) includes DL- Methionine, Choline Bitartrate, Inositol, Beet root, goldenseal, dandelion root, milk thistle and alfalfa as active ingredients along with dicalcium phosphates, microcrystalline cellulose and magnesium as binding agents and fillers.
Product Features
Psyllium husk promotes proper bowel movements, bentonite draws in impurities and senna extract stimulates the lining of the large intestines. Cascara Sagrada encourages peristalsis and acidophilus replenishes necessary bacteria and can help eliminate bad breath and gas. Rhubarb root is a laxative aid and can improve bowel tone and overall digestive tract health, while goldenseal root promotes healthy glandular function. Parsley is the foremost diuretic when urination causes pain, cranberry is a natural way to promote urinary tract health, and dandelion root works as a filter for toxins. Soy proteins support kidney function. DL methionine is an essential amino acid, Choline bitartrate is required for healthy cell membranes, Milk thistle is a potent liver protector and alfalfa has antibacterial and antiviral properties.
Enuvia claims that its system can help the three major organs rid themselves of toxic chemical buildup. It is purported to do this without side effects, fasting or inconvenient bowel movements. It boasts the ability to provide more energy and increase metabolism. Step One (days 1-30) includes cleansing the colon to remove impactions and impermeable wastes and to increase the body's ability to absorb glucose. Step Two (days 31-60) is a liver cleanse to assist the liver in metabolizing fats, breaking down fatty acids and filtering out toxins. Step Three (days 61- 90) discourages the cryatellation that can create kidney stones.
- Detoxification is a healthy way to help your body help itself and improve function.
- Detoxing all three major organs is more effective than helping one body system and leaving the others potentially endangered.
- A full 90 day cleansing cycle is $50.
- Enuvia offers no real evidence of weight loss.
While Enuvia can be a useful tool for detoxification of major body systems, it doesn't offer a fat burner or stimulant that may promote any distinguishable weight loss.

F1: Malaysian Grand Prix
Schedule (GMT)
Saturday March 24,
Qualifying: 8am
Sunday March 25
Race: 9am
After last season's snoozefest, this year's frantic opener in Melbourne played out in a manner suggesting the teams and drivers had all been shoved in a bottle, shaken up, and then poured out on to the track.
Mercedes qualified strongly but had a disastrous race, while Ferrari failed to make the top 10 on Saturday but managed a fifth-placed finish with Fernando Alonso on race day. McLaren did manage to match their qualifying performance on Sunday, though, coming away with a deserved victory as a result.
We head to Malaysia with all six former world champions looking competitive, epitomised by Kimi Raikkonen's charge from 18th to seventh on his F1 return. Less than a second separated the top eight in qualifying in Melbourne – last year that gap would have stretched only to third. At the slightly more sociable hour of 9am, this is definitely a race worth getting up early for.
DC: "I love Malaysia. It's establishing itself as a really good Grand Prix."
AD: "It's the grandfather of [Hermann] Tilke's designs, isn't it? It's fast-flowing, it's undulating. He gets criticism, but you always have to point them in the direction of Malaysia because it is a great, great circuit – you see overtaking, you see tyre degradation to the max. It's such a gruelling race for the drivers – so hot and so physical inside the car, you almost want to forget it when it's over. Technically the the track focuses quite a lot on braking. Tyre degradation is a big factor – the most important thing is keeping your rear tyres alive."
DC: "The hairpin is brilliant because you've got all the time in the world to over-think your entry, and you see so many people going wide, locking up and giving away the chance for overtaking into that main straight. It's what you want; hurtling straight into a heavy-braking corner promotes mistakes. You don't need DRS when you've got corners like that."
Laps 56
Circuit length 5.543km
Race distance 310.408km
Lap record 1:34.223 – JP Montoya (2004)
Sport's prediction
1 Jenson Button (McLaren)
2 Lewis Hamilton (McLaren)
3 Michael Schumacher (Mercedes)

If I had known that Obama would uphold and increase the ill-named PATRIOT Act, I would not have voted for him. I fully expected him to rescind it, as well as undo the other serial vicissitudes of the previous administration. No one reckoned on the opposition sucking all the money out of the system just as the new administration was to be sworn in. Even so, Obama has been a let down in many ways.

- About
I'm 22 years old and a graduate of the University of Georgia in history and political science. I recently finished my senior thesis with a research grant from the Center of Undergraduate Research Opportunities on Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Counter-Enlightenment thought. I won the 2013 Pi Sigma Alpha essay contest in UGA's School of Public and International Affairs on the question of whether American culture tends to emphasize being an individual over being a citizen. The essay can be read here.
I am attending the Duke University School of Law. I will graduate with a law degree an an M.A. in History in 2017.
I am a prolific writer. My friend and I frequently write essays in politics, philosophy, history, and world events.
Religiously, I am a Christian as a member of the Church of Christ at Oglethorpe. I do not believe that miracles occur in the modern day, that God "speaks" to individuals in the modern day except through the Bible, or that religious belief is a justification for political policy. In fact, I believe the two should be strictly separated.
That brings us to the next section: politics. I am a capitalist. That means I believe that the only reason any government should exist is the protection of the individual rights of its citizens. In essence, I believe that each man (or woman) is the owner of himself (or herself), and that to infringe on that ownership (i.e. to violate another's rights) is the only thing the government has the authority to regulate. Anything more than that becomes a violation of man's self-ownership in and of itself.Fluttershy is my favorite pony.
I find Catelyn Stark from Game of Thrones inexplicably attractive:
I'm also a fan of the Duchess of Cambridge.
My favorite movie score is from How to Train Your Dragon:
Political drama is, unsurprisingly, one of my favorite movie genres. Some of my favorite movies include Lincoln, Charlie Wilson's War, Amazing Grace (2006), and The King's Speech.
I think everyone should see the final Twilight movie (I went with my girlfriend -- she watches it for the lulz too) just to hear Kristen Stewart's vampire sex talk. It's side-splittingly hilarious.
I think Wreck-It Ralph deserved the Oscar for best animated film over Brave -- by a lot.
Even so, I love that Brave introduced me to Julie Fowlis. I want to use this song as a lullaby for future children -- it's fantastic:
I'll add more as I think of it, but you can also ask random questions and I may pick a few to field.

Step one: Don't get caught monologuing.
Everyone's entitled to their opinion, not to be respected for it.
On a site where approval manifests itself in the form of red or green thumbs, people with unpopular opinions will get their red thumbs.
They can still talk and debate all they want, but that doesn't mean anyone will -- or should -- take them seriously.
Opinions are just that. They are of no real significance. Carefully crafted, logical arguments (which are not conducive to this site) are more appropriate in such matters..
Look, I'm not a fan of Hamas. In fact, so long as the states neighboring Israel are headed by parties like Hamas and Hezbollah who have Islamist government and opposing the recognition of Israel as their platform, I don't believe lasting peace will be possible -- two-state or otherwise.
But it's a more complicated issue than happy-go-lucky image macros can or should address.
And there's a lot of vitriol around this,so I'm ducking out after this comment. To all else, flame wars are easy. Gentlemanly, civil discussions of politics are hard.

Our = "my" for royalty (pronoun; "Our crown is most glorious.")
Thus, I read the caption as, "You would not say your sister is fat, but she can fit the whole sun on your backside."
Sorry about all that. Thus concludes my one Grammar Nazi post for the month.
You have a right to your opinion. And everyone is acknowledging it, as evidenced by the dozen or so people who saw it, read it, and downvoted it.
It just so happens to be that everyone is of the opinion that they dislike your opinion, and on a website where approval or disapproval manifests itself in the form of green or red thumbs respectively, that means you'll be receiving red thumbs. And unless you're appealing to a double-standard here, they're just as entitled to express their opinion as you are.
Here you're faced with a dilemma: you can either share your opinion and receive the reaction that you already know you're going to get, or you can keep your opinion to yourself, thereby avoiding the backlash.
You can't have your cake and eat it too. And if neither of those options are preferable, there are millions of other sites out there. I don't say that to be mean, but I do say it as a point of fact. Clearly complaining won't help you here, so perhaps there are better communities for you.
TL;DR: Decide what's most important to you -- sharing your opinion, or avoiding criticism. It's the Internet. You can't do both.
Commented on the future is here!
Yeah, it's awesome. It looks like the same animation style as Paperman, which is a 3D base with 2D details drawn on top.

MILTON — Milton coach George Goodwin wants his team to rebound from last week's loss to unbeaten Mifflinburg. But he knows that Friday night's Heartland Athletic Conference Division I opponent, Jersey Shore, could cause a number of problems for the Black Panthers.
"(The Bulldogs) are very good defensively. They put a ton of guys in the box and the way they are doing things, from the film we have seen on them, they present some problems for us," Goodwin said.
He said the film of Jersey Shore playing Shikellamy gives Milton a good idea of what they are up against because the Braves and Black Panthers do similar things on offense.
He said Jersey Shore (2-6, 1-4 HAC-I) is a scrappy team that comes to play every week. "Their record does not reflect how good they are," Goodwin said.
Bulldogs quarterback Logan English does a good job of scrambling and keeping plays alive. "Teams seem to be able to get pressure (on English), but if his first read isn't there, he is looking downfield when he is scrambling and he does a real good job. He doesn't look to run, but he will still attack the line of scrimmage. We have to be disciplined and have to maintain our coverage for what seems like a long time," Goodwin said.
Like most coaches, Goodwin believes the play of his line will make the difference but he added "That's been our forte all year; we put it on our linemen and every ballgame we've won we've been able to control the line of scrimmage and not turn the ball over."
Jersey Shore coach Tom Gravish agrees with that assessment.
"Milton is an excellent team. They do a really great job with the execution of their offense. Their offensive line is really tough and they have great running backs. When they decide to pass they have been very effective," Gravish said.
"Defensively, they are fundamentally sound and get people to the football. Milton had a great comeback victory just a few weeks ago against Selinsgrove and appear ready for the District 4 AAA playoffs again."
Gravish said his team is continuing to feel better about itself. "We have gained some confidence from games where we played Danville and Selinsgrove and lost. We were disappointed that we don't win those games. We are an extremely young team but need to come out with confidence and get a win against a really good team like Milton."
Goodwin said it is ironic that his team is finishing the regular season with three possible District 4 Class AAA playoff teams in the last four weeks.
Milton is now leading the point standings, just ahead of Selinsgrove and next week's regular-season finale opponent, Shikellamy.
"We don't want to show our whole hand, but we want to win ballgames and try to get home field (advantage) throughout the playoffs," he said.

PENTAX Announces Lifeproof WG-2 and WG-2 GPS
PENTAX has just announced an update to its WG-series of "lifeproof" cameras, the Optio WG-2 and the Optio WG-2 GPS, which will replace their WG-1 counterparts from last year. Both cameras are making the jump from a 14 megapixel CCD to a 16 megapixel backside-illuminated CMOS image sensor, which allows for full HD 1080p moving recording (at 30 frames per second) and dramatically improves the camera's low light abilities. Also, the GPS-enabled camera includes an all new GPS module PENTAX says will "deliver a shorter time lag before GPS start-up and longer life during GPS activation."

Rock doesn't sell at BSU
The Strokes' performance tonight at Ball State University's 3,400-capacity auditorium could be historic. Not for its attendance--only 1,000 tickets have been sold, even after organizers lowered ticket prices to just $15 Friday. Low sales mean the Strokes show could be the school's last ever rock concert. According to organizers, it's not you, Strokes; it's BSU, which seems to prefer a different kind of music: country. Keith Urban easily sold out the auditorium in 2004, and a Gretchen Wilson show sold 2,300 tickets. But "Matchbox Twenty didn't [sell well]. Ben Harper didn't. Tori Amos didn't. The Muse did not sell well last year," the auditorium's director told the Daily News.

LAKE WYLIE — Terry Everhart is an oral history of Lake Wylie boating. Hes the floating face of public safety. Hes an ordinance log for what not to do on the water.
And now, hes done.
Everhart retired Jan. 31 after 28 years and one month with Mecklenburg County and the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department. He started Lake Wylie patrols in 1990. Last week, he spent personal time clearing a career out of his office at McDowell Nature Preserve. Hes applied for reserves basically volunteer police to stay connected with his lifelong work.
I dont think I couldve created a job that was better for me, Everhart said, adding that he has been asked what someone who spends his working hours on a boat does for retirement. You look at them and say, How do I beat what I had?
People who like to point out Everhart gets paid for time boating dont often do it when temperatures reach triple figures. They dont do it when the lake appears half-frozen, as it did when Everhart made his final runs on the job.
Everhart said his job was difficult for boaters, judges and even police to figure out at times. Most people equate cops and court cases with infractions on the road or crimes on land, he said.
Boating is something different.
Our job is to encourage people to come out here and use the water, but use it responsibly, Everhart said.
In his years on Lake Wylie, there were impaired boaters and explosions. There were mock catastrophes. Boats, and even a car, sank. There were fatal wrecks Everhart still has a hard time getting out of his head. There were people and businesses who depend on the water. He cant imagine forgetting them, either.
Thats what Im going to miss, Everhart said.
Haven Presley at T-Bones on the Lake hosted a retirement party earlier this month with about 125 people.
He knows everyone on and around the lake, and I doubt you could find even one person with anything negative to say, Presley said. Hes just such an affable person that everyone ends up as his friend.
Everhart saw nearly everything that happened on the lake the past two decades, mostly because he hardly ever left. It wasnt unusual to get a call two hours after a full shift the constant on-call hours were the toughest part, he said when something happened. The reason Everhart is taking retirement more than a year early is all the sick and vacation time he never took.
Everhart took 10 sick days as an officer five when he was sick and five when his son was born. He gave up vacation days for budget reasons.
I will come up with something to do, he said of time off, and that generally is expensive.
What hell leave behind
About 15 years ago, Everharts department put an emphasis on violations for boating while impaired and boating under the influence. Officers brought in two or three cases a night. He remembers the unusual response boaters had a week or two into the effort.
They hugged the South Carolina bank, he said.
Citing boaters certainly happened, but Everhart wasnt trying to set records. Recklessness and major violations got their due, but he more often tried kindness first.
Treat everybody like you want to be treated until you cant do it anymore, he said.
That attitude, that discretion on the water, earned Everhart a welcome place in the Lake Wylie boating community.
Terry Everhart is part of a vanishing breed in this area, said Lake Wylie Lakekeeper Ellen Goff, who worked with him through the Lake Wylie Marine Commission and events such as Riversweep. He grew up around the lake and fell in love with its waters at an early age. His decades of experience and skill set have made him an expert on lake matters.
Everhart began reporting to the marine commission, a group largely responsible for increased cooperation by the two state and three county agencies patrolling the lake, in 1992. Hes serving his sixth and final year as a commissioner. Commissioners voted him chairman during his second term.
From the (Fourth of July) boat parade on down the line, everything that happens out there, hes a figure in it, said Brad Thomas, who took over for Everhart as chairman. You look up, and you expect to see him in his uniform.
In recent years, Everhart even spoke at an international boating safety conference. He wanted to bring home the best of what others around the world were doing and share the safety gains made here.
But most on the water remember him by personal interactions, on his boat or theirs, in uniform, or on his own time.
Terry spent his career keeping Lake Wylie waters safe, but he still recognized that lake recreation should and could be fun as well, Presley said. Thats a fine line to balance, and he did it beautifully.
The few times Everhart wasnt easily found near the water came when he was hiding behind a nearby tree. Everhart operated and gave voice to Splash, a motorized cartoon-style boat that spouted safety tips and distributed stickers to children. He enjoyed keeping in the background, remote controlling and watching children light up when Splash came to life.
The talking boat was a way to promote safety and get a positive response from people without intimidating them or ruining their fun, which is how Everhart hopes his time will be remembered.
You talk to somebody like youd want to be talked to the first time, he said, theyre more receptive to what youve got to say.

Good Quality Cabinet
Best Uses
Comments about HON® Brigade™ 700 Series Lateral File Cabinet, 36" Wide, 2-Drawer, Black:
This cabinet has low odor. It has an oil paint odor coming from the drawers and is more noticable when you open them. But it is becoming more faint as time goes by. It doesn't smell up the office. For those who require low odor because of asthma or other conditions, this cabinet may work for you. HON even said this cabinet emits lower VOC's. It's a bit pricy, but worth it at the end to avoid the oil base paint odor that you get with some other file cabinets. The cabinet feels sturdy and the drawers open smoothly. I was disappointed that it didn't come with the bars that allow front to back filing. You can purchase those for about $25 online. But if you plan to use it for side to side filing, it is fully equipped with bars for that. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars out of 5 is because of the price and it didn't come with the front to back filing bars which I had to buy separately.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

By Emilie Friedlander
Last Friday, Yeezus leaked while I was out on my lunch break. I returned to my computer to discover a blinking Gchat window from a friend, informing me that he was listening to the album and offering a few cursory impressions of the music, as he and I are wont to exchange on a semi-running basis. "Lol. This is fucking sick. This record is mixed so far in the red," he had typed into the window in my absence. As he continued listening, my friend started waxing a bit more lyrical about how Kanye's sixth album was making him feel:
_really_ weird
_really_ intense
crazy mixing
what's funny about this kanye west album is that there aren't really any like
social jammers
i can't see myself enjoying this in any kind of social situation more than i enjoy it by myself right now
It was the first review that I of read Yeezus, and pretty consistent with the flurry of responses that I would read over next few days. In its skeletal design, squelching electronic palette and ambiguously self-critiquing comparisons between Kanye and the son of God, Yeezus almost seemed like it was designed to garner adjectives like "weird" and "intense" and "crazy." Like My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy before it, it felt like social event—not just because it was a piece of music that everybody you know and everybody I know would be listening to, but because we were together in bearing witness to one of the most talked-about men in music unveiling a new incarnation of his shape-shifting self.
In keeping with a distinctly American sense of progress (and Kanye's own statements, of course), we've come to expect that each successive Kanye album will be bigger and better than the one came before it. Recently though, at least since the vocoders and pitched drum machines of 808s and Heartbreak, there's also been the expectation that it will be more psychologically overwrought and stylistically left-field, as though hearing the new Kanye album were akin to watching someone live out a perennial personal and artistic nervous breakdown in public. Hence my friend's early review of Yeezus feeling retrospectively spot on while also pretty paradoxical: Yeezus is a social event, but one we're more likely going to want to experience within the privacy our own earbuds—unsure how to sing or dance along to it, perhaps, but united by our fascination with a man simultaneously unravelling and reinventing himself.
In his recent interview with the 36-year-old rapper, The New York Times' Jon Caramanica asks Kanye whether he still feels like an outsider trying to fight his way in to the commercial rap establishment. Kanye's reply contradicts many of the other statements he makes over the course of their conversation, but it feels like a pretty good summation of the aesthetic he's going for on Yeezus: "I feel like I don't want to be inside anymore. Like, I uninvited myself." Musically, Kayne draws a good deal of his sound, if not directly from underground musicians themselves (Hippos in Tanks and onetime UNO NYC artist Arca, who has production credtis on five of the album's 10 tracks, along with Tri Angle's Evian Christ) than from musical building blocks that wouldn't be wholly out of place at a dance night at a warehouse party in Brooklyn: blown-out, pitch-shifting synth notes that seem like they're designed to abrade your eardrums; mechanical beats that sound like they're approximating the sound of a bass drum with its skin sagging a little too loose; an abundance of the kind of short, bark-like screams that make a Suicide song like "Frankie Teardrop" (1) scare the shit out of you. Experimental is a complicated word in music—perhaps as complicated as distinctions between "underground" and "mainstream" these days—but if we take it the sense of offering something that sounds "difficult" to the listener, Yeezus is Kayne's most experimental album to date.
Historically speaking, as Sam Hockley-Smith points out to the right, our cultural universe (even our mainstream cultural universe) would seem to be ripe for it. The trouble is, just because a sound is "difficult" doesn't make it interesting or even necessarily impactful. A big personality like Kanye's may require a very big-sounding record to do it justice, but Yeezus, to my ears, is the sound of an artist trying very very hard to make an impact' to the exclusion of most of the things that (in my view, at least) make difficult music a compelling medium of expression. When I say that this album is one of the most heavy-handed albums I've ever heard, I'm not just talking about the tastelessness of lines relating sweet and sour sauce to performing oral sex on an Asian woman, or his flippant cut and pasting of Nina Simone's "Strange Fruit" into a song about his rich people problems. I'm also talking about Yeezus' deployment of its pure sound elements, like the gargantuan, fog-horn like synth stabs that kick in mid-way through that song—"Blood on the Leaves"—as though the only way to kick up the ante on the track were to go from a speaking voice to a shouting voice.
When Kanye tries to equate this foray into the sound world of techno and industrial music with a movement away from the maximalism of his earlier work, as he does in the interview with Jon Caramanica, I think he's got it all wrong. There is nothing particularly subtle about taking the same monstrously loud, blown-out synth pattern and repeating it over and over again with little modulation, just as there is nothing particularly experimental about jumping abruptly and without precedent from a techno passage to a pitched-up interpolation of a gospel song, or yelping over and over again over a beat that sounds like Jock Jams. If the beauty of minimalism is a beauty of tiny movements and gradations, then I'm afraid that a lot of the outside music that Yeezus sources—like the aforementioned sermon interpolation for on "On Sight," or the gorgeously wilting passage of Hungarian psych-rock at the end of "New Slaves"—sounds a lot more minimalist than a lot of the original production.
Which is all another way of saying that there's not much to Kanye's attempt to do something really "difficult" this time around; it's loud for the sake of being loud, ugly for the sake of being ugly and "weird" for the sake of pointing to its "weirdness." I'm not opposed to the idea of appreciating Kayne's latest artistic and personal meltdown on the level of a performative stunt; it always nice when a celebrity who feels alone and misunderstood sublimates all that anger and sadness into art so we can feel less alone by all experiencing it together. But as far as opening up the mainstream ear to a deepened appreciation of sounds from "without," and the potential of pure sound to communicate, I don't think Yeezus, for all its expensiveness and talented roster, is unlocking any doors. Rather, I think it's just pushing them back outside, to where most listeners in America, up until weird became cool, seemed to think they belonged: the freak parade.
By Sam Hockely-Smith
Right now, you can walk into a store and purchase a physical copy of Yeezus, a major label album that features no cover art and a lot of very angry Kanye West moments. It's a "weird" record if you want to boil it down to one basic descriptor. The guest vocals are plentiful, but often come in at unexpected places: Bon Iver's Justin Vernon appears multiple times, his voice layered and without a body, like everything he's singing is actually a lost transmission from space. Chief Keef appears singing about how you (we?) only know the old him. Frank Ocean pops up in a cathartic lo-fi epilogue to "New Slaves," Kid Cudi provides heartbreaking meta-commentary on his own career on "Guilt Trip," Assassin drops an incendiary hook on "I'm in It" that is so energetic that it singlehandedly revived my faith in dancehall in 2013. Yeezus also features relatively (relative to Kanye's world, anyway) unknown producers like Arca and Evian Christ sharing space with forgotten luminaries like the Heatmakerz. The album they collaborated to make sounds like a lot of stuff that has been floating around the internet for the last couple years, but it's all been drawn into Kanye West's orbit. Yeezus is Kanye's line in the sand, separating everything he's done before from what he's doing now. Every Kanye West album is Kanye's line in the sand.
Kanye's career has been long because he's a master of tapping into the underlying frustrations of the world at hand. Whether or not he can emotionally or financially relate to that world is beside the point. If we are on edge, reactionary, unhappy, stressed, broke, wanting to be more, Kanye wants all of those things times a billion. His highs are higher and his lows are lower. To make effective art, you need to push emotional moments to their extreme conclusions, while hopefully retaining all the nuance that comes with those emotions Yeezus is as weird as the world we're part of, which is a very weird, paranoid, often childish (2) place.
Playing "spot the influence" on Yeezus is fun, but beside the point. Kanye's always been a late adopter who manages to use his obvious influences really well. Think Late Registration's "Drive Slow," and how that tracks DJ Screw influence seemed at once reverent and prescient. It'd been done before, but not by Kanye West. Kanye wants us to believe that he is aware of everything always. It's easy when you're playing the everyman, like he did (or tried to do) on College Dropout, or the man who is flabbergasted but—it should be noted—very accepting of fame on Graduation, or the lovelorn, lonely artist on 808s and Heartbreak. Kanye West started his career as a relatable rapper at a time when there weren't many of those in the public eye. Now he's too famous to be relatable. Too frustrated. Too rich.
Since Kanye works in extremes, he couldn't make anything else but Yeezus, and he can't really make another album until music shifts again and he can pop a wheelie on another zeitgeist. Is Yeezus a weird album? Sure. Musically, yes, it doesn't sound like anything else on rap radio, it doesn't really sound like anything on any radio. It sounds like corners of the internet that used to seem bigger than they were, but now actually are bigger.
The persona that Kanye West projects on Yeezus has serious issues with women, with the music industry, with sex, with his friends, with his life in general. Lyrically, he's gross. "I'm in It" is so brooding it is practically begging for serious subject matter. Instead we get Kanye at his most crass and unapologetically offensive. On that song alone he moves from Your titties/ Let em out free at last to Eating Asian pussy/ All I need is sweet and sour sauce. (He was similarly unrepentant in the sole promotional interview he did for Yeezus, basically retracting his apology for interrupting Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.) It's a whole lot of rich people problems, but they're still problems he's struggling with. He's fed up, or wants us to believe he's fed up. It's irrelevant if, when he's just sitting at home with Kim and the new baby he's actually a good dad, because the only Kanye we know is the one on record. He's made a fractured version of his life public, and it's the one we have to go on. Wondering if Kanye is a good person doesn't work, because he's already decided he doesn't have to pretend to be perfect for his audience. This is either laudable or annoying. Your mileage may vary.
So ten tracks, multiple guests, production that stomps, slithers and vibrates into these world-ending glittering towers of dollar signs and post-apocalyptic anthems to be played in clubs that don't exist yet. Is Yeezus weird? Yes, it sounds weird. Is Kanye West weird for making Yeezus? Not really. Kanye's just Kanye, maybe what's weird is that we don't expect all our biggest artists to be as conflicted.

In writing about Ray Gricar's role in the 1998 investigation of Jerry Sandusky, I've gotten a lot of questions. A few I can't answer. Why did the then Centre County District Attorney not prosecute the case? I can speculate, as many others have, but I don't have a great deal of evidence for any speculation at this point, and there is a lot of it out there. I know that I'd like to believe it was an honest mistake. Is it related to his 2005 disappearance? I don't know. Is Mr. Gricar alive or dead? I still don't have an answer to that one.
One question I can answer, and a few people have asked, is why I did not mention that Jerry Lauro, then an investigator with the Department of Public Welfare, also closed the case. I've had a few e-mails asking about it and even had someone comment online while I was writing this.
The main reason is that Mr. Lauro does not prosecute cases; that is not his job. That decision was Mr. Gricar's, not Mr. Lauro's. Any decision of any district attorney is not based on what someone else thinks of the case. It is the district attorney's responsibility whether or not to pursue charges. Mr. Lauro said, when the story broke, ""I had no decision-making authority or power in any of these cases. They are left up to the district attorney to decide. In all of the hundreds of cases that I ran, I never let anyone influence me."1 So whatever others thought, it was still Mr. Gricar's call.
A district attorney, and frankly any lawyer, should listen to what professionals in the field say; they can often be experts and can testify in court as experts. Mr. Lauro's opinion on if the case should continue could have some weight, perhaps a lot of weight, in Mr. Gricar's decision. However, according to Mr. Lauro, Mr. Gricar made his decision first.
Mr. Lauro said, in the press about the detective, "All he [Detective Ron Schreffler] said was, 'There's nothing to it — we're going to close our case.' And I said, 'That's fine, I'm going to close my case, too."2 The decision not to prosecute seems to have been made without Mr. Lauro's input.
Now, we can ask the question if Mr. Lauro's decision was identical to Mr. Gricar's decision. Did they both look at the same evidence and reach the same independent conclusions.
According to Mr. Lauro, no. He was never told about all of the alleged statements of Mr. Sandusky to the mother of Victim 6, the ones that were witness by the two hiding police officers. That included, according to the three witnesses, a statement from Mr. Sandusky that he showered with other young boys. It is unknown if Mr. Lauro knew of the second alleged victim, B. K.3
In my experience, that is standard procedure for the police. I was, after retirement, called in to testify to a case of welfare fraud. The police subpoenaed four or five other people to testify to the same thing I would; the investigators never told me this and I didn't know this until I went into court. I can easily understand why Mr. Lauro did not know these other details.
So, what we have is a decision by Mr. Lauro based on incomplete evidence. We have a situation where Mr. Lauro's decision to close the case was made after Mr. Gricar made the decision not to prosecute the case. Most importantly, the decision not to prosecute was never Mr. Lauro's decision to make. The last reason is the primary reason why I did not previously mention it.
Jennifer Storm, the executive director of the Dauphin County Victim/Witness Assistance Program, and a member of the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency, said, "This to me would have been a really good criminal case."4 She seems to be correct, since the current Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office thinks it is. They have indicted Mr. Sandusky on the 1998 alleged incident, one step beyond what Mr. Gricar had done; we will be watching to see how this turns out. They also did it when one possible victim, B. K. was unable to testify before the grand jury. There was no new evidence that was revealed, according to the presentment.3
Ms. Storm also said, "Why didn't this go to court? Unfortunately, we may never know the answer."4 That is one of those questions I cannot answer; I am hoping it was just an honest mistake, if a massive one. I can answer who was the person who made that decision. The buck stopped with Mr. Gricar.

Listen: Beyoncé Teams With Major Lazer
By Tom Breihan on April 19, 2011 at 11:15 a.m. EDT
UPDATE: Listen to the official single in full at Beyoncé's site.
"Girls (Who Run the World)" is the fired-up new track from Beyoncé, co-produced by Major Lazer co-conspirators Diplo and produced by Switch with additional production from Beyoncé and Shea Taylor, and it heavily samples Major Lazer's track "Pon De Floor". It's as devotedly pro-female as the title would lead you to expect, and it's as dancefloor-directed as Beyoncé gets, in the tradition of "Get Me Bodied" and "Single Ladies". Download a tagged-up version of the track at the Fader, or stream it above, via Huffington Post.
Beyoncé's as-yet-untitled new album is due in June.

Echo Chamber: Behind M.I.A.'s "Born Free"
By Ryan Dombal on April 27, 2010 at 6:10 p.m. EDT
"It was a royal mess of all our good buds- Switch, John Hill, and Diplo plus Iggor Cavalera (1/2 Mixhell, ex-Sepultura)! All those dudes in a room, a generous sample of Suicide, sick sick drumming from Iggor (and here's another tidbit for u - it was recorded on POPO's shitty ass drumset at the mausoleum!) --- and you got it."
-- The blog for Diplo's Mad Decent label fills us in on how M.I.A.'s gurgling fuzz fuck of a new single, "Born Free", was created. Somehow, we're not surprised that a guy who used to be in Sepultura was involved. (via Mad Decent)

Major Lazer (Diplo and Switch) Announce Summer Tour, Album Tracklist
By Ryan Dombal on April 28, 2009 at 3:45 p.m. EDT
Do you like to dance? If yes, good for you.
Also, you're in luck! Major Lazer, aka DJ/producers Diplo and Switch, are getting ready to play their futuristic dancehall tunes for your body-gyrating pleasure this summer. You'll get a little sweaty, but everyone else will also be a little sweaty, so it'll be OK. You won't be the only one sweating-- if you're the only one sweating, there is a serious problem.
Major Lazer's debut album, Guns Don't Kill People, Lazers Do, is out June 16 via Downtown/Mad Decent. Featured guests include Vybz Cartel, Amanda Blank, and Santigold, who guests on frantic first single "Hold the Line". While we previously reported a guest shot from M.I.A., she doesn't appear on the tracklist, which is below, along with the tour dates.
Santigold, Diplo, Lykke Li on Amanda Blank's Debut Album
By Tom Breihan on March 17, 2009 at 5:25 p.m. EDT
When I interviewed Diplo two years ago, the superstar DJ had this to say about a friend of his, sexed-up Philly MC Amanda Blank: "Amanda Blank, who I really like and I'd like to help her develop her style, she's not making so much music because I think she's afraid to fail." For years now, Blank's been popping up at Hollertronix-related parties and guesting on records from the likes of Spank Rock and Plastic Little; her line about showing Ghostface her oh face on the "Crambodia" remix was hot. But as of yet, Amanda Blank's never made an album of her own.
Apparently, though, she's gotten over whatever was preventing her from making music. I Love You, Blank's first album, is due July 14 via Downtown Music. Diplo, true to his word, contributes production, as do Switch and Xxxchange. Spank Rock, Lykke Li, the Cool Kids, and Santigold are all slated to make guest appearances.

Celebrity beauty spy - Kelly Rowland's polished perfection
We love Kelly's glossy hair and glowing skin, but what do you think?
Kelly's super long locks looked great with a slight wave and long, piecey fringe. Her take on smoky eyes was perfect for summer days as well. Note how she has blended a dark charcoal grey colour on the upper lids with shimmery pale gold on the inner corners of the eyes. Her dark skin and ultra intense chocolate eyes means she could get away with very dramatic kohl-lined eyes but this subtly sexy look is much fresher.
Rose pink with a touch of orange is a gorgeous blush shade on black skin. Go for a cream-based formulation on the apples of the cheeks. What do you think of Kelly's look?
