Six games into a first round series that hasn't been nearly as close as its 3-3 status suggests, a couple of things have become clear about the Washington Capitals.
First, they don't need any help beating these Rangers, although the gifts New York provided today in the form of bad giveaways, power play chances and an embarrassing lack of push back certainly makes it a lot easier.
Second, and more important, New York goalie Henrik Lundqvist isn't going to stop them all by himself.
Lundqvist has tried, admirably in fact, and with the help of some solid defensive efforts by his teammates, he has managed to steal three wins for the seriously overmatched Rangers in this series. But in the last two games Lundqvist has looked like someone abandoned on a deserted island, bombarded with shots as Alex Ovechkin and his hard charging Capitals have over run a New York team that doesn't look like it belongs here.
The big difference is that Washington is not being forced to the outside any more, but the Capitals have also figured out there is a high hole over Lundqvist's glove when they shoot from the short side. The result is nine goals over the last four periods against the Rangers netminder, which combined with a total lack of compete level from New York since it went up 3-1 in the series, has turned things around.
Some of that intensity might have been expected from the Rangers on national television today as they came home with head coach John Tortorella's suspension and Sean Avery's return to the lineup to use as motivation. Instead, the Caps cut them off early, showing the swagger they had in staving off elimination Friday to control this one from start to finish. It sends Washington home in position to complete their inspired comeback, not a particularly inviting proposition for the Rangers, who are in disarray, increasingly unable to stand up to Washington's relentless pressure and do not seem to have the leaders necessary to get them back on track.
The glass half full approach for New York is understanding it still has a chance for an upset it probably shouldn't. Washington outplayed the Rangers in two of its three losses, and ran them out of the rink in each of its previous wins and today, describing the Capitals as dominant would be understating things.
Truth is you don't have to scratch deep below the surface to understand why the Caps are one of the league's best teams and the Rangers are not. Washington is bigger, faster, far more skilled and for the most part -- certainly since being pushed to the brink of elimination -- the Caps have played with a level of ferocity that has been too much for New York to handle.
Lundqvist gave the Rangers a chance to get this far, but he can't do it alone. Washington won't let him.

Washington finds its own stimulus
Tortorella being supended will cost the Rangers huge I think in this series. I think he knew Lundqvist is tired and probably would have pulled Lundqvist after 4 to 1, which Schoenfeld did not do. Tortorella has already pulled the plug early on Lundqvist giving his exhausted goaltender significant rest and more rest here would have set up a rope a dope type rebound for game seven. I'm sure Tortorella was looking for something like this to happen, but did not count on being suspended. Lundqvist is one exhausted goaltender. He has been bombarded relentlessly by Washington, and it's beginning to take its toll. The hole Washington has discoverred in his glove hand. Well he is too tired for the team to correct this in time with practice. All they can do is advise him, and maybe take a few extra shots on that Glove hand side in practice. At the pro level you need months of practice to correct some things such as this, if it can at all be fixed. Predictions for game 7? 7 to 1 Washington.

These two teams don't belong in the same rink. The Rangers fluked the three wins, by a combination of luck, Lundqvist, and Washington's playing in only overdrive mode til the brink. Now New York's wakened the monster that is Washington. Washington would be a contender without Ovechkin. Today they simply dazzled, bullied, and all but embarressed New York. Look for Washington to continue its inspired play to the conference finals, where I think Boston's just too much. Ovechkin has heart and huge courage so it will be interesting. This team is learning how to navigate the playoffs. Hopefully San Jose will do the same. I think that might happen as well come tomorrow. Both teams comming back from the brink would be miraculous. Come on Thornton... finish it!

Don't worry Washington will show up to play game 7. or at least Ovechkin will. They remember all to well what it felt like to lose a Game 7 and i just don't see it happening again this year. the team is to tough to do that

I think it will depend on how well Varly handles the pressure which will be a little more intense but so far he's shown to be pretty cool under pressure. I think the big difference now is that the Caps are starting to get greater contributions from their role players ..guys like Bradley and Poti who don't score very often. Plus i think Ovie is starting to settle down and find his groove. If they continue to get solid goal tending, OV continues to heat up, and they get solid efforts from their role players they will be a tough beat for any team.

Washington has to approach Game 7 as they did the last 2: a win-or-go-home-early game for them, not as an elimination game for NYR.

Yep, it's not over yet.
Trap game? Focus on evening the series instead of winning the series?

Washington finds its own stimulus
As a Caps fan, I have to give a lot of credit to the Rangers for bottling up the Caps offense in Games 2 and 4, and doing enough to get the win in Game 1. Henrik Lundqvist has been phenomenal in some games and dismal in others. I think Jose Theodore may have had a similar fate if he were allowed to play past Game 1, but Boudreau was ready to pull the plug. I really like Boudreau's confidence in Varlamov and Varlamov has definitely earned the starting role. Washington has looked a lot more dominant in their wins than the Rangers did in theirs, but anything can happen in one game. Even though the series is tied at 3, the Caps got out of a similar hole last year against Philly only to lose a heartbreaker in OT in Game 7. Here's hoping that a repeat performance is not in the cards this time.

Over the weekend we went to Hylin in West Leederville. It was a rainy weekend, we wanted to sit inside, although they have outdoor seating on the grass but it's all wet.
We went in there wasn't much of a queue. The waitress at the counter was very helpful informed us there might be a 30mins wait for our food. We are good with it hence, proceed with the order. I ordered a smoothie, which is a combination of Strawberry, banana and Acai Smoothie.
Mr. S ordered the Spanish Beans – homemade Spanish beans in a rich tomato sauce with spicy chorizo, two poached eggs &served with crusty bread GF $16.50
Mr.S and I are massive chorizo fans. He decided on this dish because he loves the chorizo and beans. When the dish arrived, he said the beans and the chorizo is a bit soupy.
I ordered Smashed avocado and eggs – two poached eggs, smashed avocado, rocket on sourdough GF $15.50
I've recently have an avocado craving hence I love this particular dish because it have loads of avocado on the sourdough.
We normally eat half of our breakfast and exchange so we can taste each other's breakfast. My personal choice is still the Smashed avocado and eggs. The Spanish beans serving is a bit to big to my liking.

Round 6 Team of the Week
WHAT a superb line-up! As the footy keeps getting better each week, so does the talent we get to choose from. This time around we've got a star-studded side bursting at the seams with Internationals and other players showing great form in the toughest competition in the world. Given the exhibition of mouth-watering play witnessed this weekend, the Round 6 League Unlimited Team of the Week can stand up, march out onto the field and be firmly proclaimed as "the bomb!"
Round 6 Preview ? This one could go anywhere!
LAST week certainly lived up to it?s ?upside down? reputation, with this punter picking three winners and taking his total to 20/35, which might be fair to middling in most tipping competitions, but then again I could be applying liberal doses of generosity. One startling fact to emerge from the rubble though, was the order amongst the chaos. Surely, with all the lopsided and unpredictable results, you wouldn?t imagine that one of sports most treasured institutions would actually prove true? Remarkably, the home ground advantage came to the fore and was the one constant amid a seemingly changing landscape.

Round 5 Team of the Week
WHAT a sensational round of footy and with it comes another bumper League Unlimited Team of the Week. There's only two names in here from last week, proving even further that this year's comp is one of the most competitive and unpredictable to date. Given some of the fine displays over the weekend, I think side would capture the mantle as this season's finest.
Monday?s Expert League Wrap - Round 5
ROUND 5, 8-10 April 2005 Melbourne?s Matt Orford and Canberra?s Clinton Schifcofske still head the leader board in this year?s Leagueunlimited.com Awards. The two form players of the competition remain in equal first place on seven points.
Round 5 Preview - upside down, upside down!
YES, you'd be forgiven for thinking we're in a parallel universe of some kind, or in the case of Mr Squiggle, living on the moon. It would appear to some that Miss Jane has yet to turn the picture upside down, or has she already? If you're Canberra and Manly you'd be pretty happy that her work is done. Not so in the case of Newcastle and St George Illawarra though, who right now embody the spirit of Bill Steamshovel and Gus the Snail.

THIS week we've got a great Team - Well rounded in the backs with an excellent kicker, potent attack and great pace with two halves that are outstanding at the moment. Then there's the forward pack who are firing on all cylinders and a clever hooker to boot.
Round 4 Preview - Have the God's gone crazy?
IT must be one of the world's hardest occupations to pick winners at the moment, and I'm not just saying that because I'm sitting on a very shabby 13 from a possible 21 so far.

Why does the following ends up with no error?
void func()
int main()
In theory, it would overflow the stack (because, even if no local variables are used, each call would add the previous return address on the stack); in practice, with optimizations enabled, it doesn't overflow because of tail call optimization, which actually avoids any resource consumption transforming the call in a jump, thus not consuming the stack.
Notice that this is coherent with the C++ standard for the "as if" rule: the compiled program must run as if it were what you requested in the code (in terms of effect), and since the stack size is just an implementation limit, the generated code that uses a
Likely, your compiler optimized it away and turned it into a
It does end with a Segmentation fault on my Linux system - Valgrind indicates a possible stack overflow, which is of course true, since for each function call a new stack frame is required.
However, enabling optimisations in the compiler reduces this whole program to an infinite loop, which, naturally, does not end at all:
Here's the interesting part:
If you are compiling and running this on Windows in a command window, you may get a crash but without any remarks from the OS. (We build a funny compiler and run into this problem a lot). Microsoft's claim is that when program does very bad things, they can't recover... so they simply kill the process and restart the command prompt. LIkely in your case, after you've recursed to the stack limit, when the trap handler attempts to do something (like push trap status on the stack) there isn't any space and Windows kills your process.
I personally think this is inexcusable behavior. If my process does something bad, the OS should always complain. It might say, "process terminated with prejudice", along with some kind of indication ("you ran out of stack in the last-ditch error handler") but it should say something.
Multics got this right in 1966. Its a shame we haven't applied these lessons in over 40 years.
On my machine it ends with a segfault (like infinite recursion should).
Maybe your shell isn't reporting the segfault. What OS are you using?
Back in the olden days, when you wanted to over-optimize an ASM program there was a practice: may times a function ended with calling an other function (then returning). It would look something like:
This way when
So the optimized code would look like:

Kamaljit Singh Jhooti (born March 26, 1981 in Southall, London), better known by his stage name Jay Sean, is a British R&B singer-songwriter and actor signed to Cash Money Records. He released his debut album, Me Against Myself in 2004 and his sophomore release, My Own Way, in 2008. His third studio album, All or Nothing, was released November 2009. The first single from the album, Down, featured Lil' Wayne and hit the #1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100. The I'm All Yours Songfacts reports that the first official single from Jay Sean's fourth studio album, Worth It All, I'm All Yours was sent for airplay on April 18, 2012. The song features rapper Pitbull.
When it comes to the business of being a singer there are artists, there are stars and there are phenomenons. Jay Sean is all of the above. The proof is in the press, the sales, the fans and above all, the music.
ALL OR NOTHING is both Jay Sean's first American release and first for Cash Money/Universal Republic Records. But while it's his debut over here, the 29-year-old Pop/R&B singer/songwriter/producer has been a major sensation and multi-platinum artist over there since 2004; releasing two smash albums, scoring two top ten singles, nominated for Britain's heralded MOBO (Music of Black Origin) Award twice and building a worldwide, fervid fan-base that stretches from Russia to Australia to NYC.
In some ways ALL OR NOTHING is the best of both worlds. Featuring sizzling, brand new tracks like the lead off single "Down" (featuring label mate Lil' Wayne), ALL OR NOTHING also includes some of the songs that helped Jay Sean blow up around the rest of the world.
One of those songs is "Ride It" written "strictly on a vibe," built on a hypnotic, sinewy track, and delivered with Jay Sean's slick vocals. The video for "Ride It" clocked an astonishing 12 million hits on You Tube (20+ million hits across all online video channels) and captivated fans everywhere; including Cash/Money Records CEO and co-founder, Ronald "Slim" Williams who was turned on to Jay Sean's music by one of the singer's producers. Slim liked what he heard and proved it by making Jay Sean the first UK artist to join the Cash/Money family.
The match up of Nawlins swagger and UK Pop/R&B drives ALL OR NOTHING's first single "Down" ft/ Cash/Money soldier Lil' Wayne. Already taking radio by storm, "Down" resulted from a conversation that began about what's wrong in the world, and blossomed into a celebration of everything that's right – namely love.
Offers Jay Sean, "I'm a very positive, optimistic person and thought let me write a song about the idea that if you've got someone special in your life then nothing else really matters how you need to appreciate the little things. The title is a play on the word 'down.' That's why Lil' Wayne says, 'Are you down like the economy.' It's a fun, very easy track something to pump in your car."
Another mid tempo breeze born out of real life is "War." The message? "To battle with anybody, whether it's your girl, family or another country never solved anything," explains Jay Sean.
It is that mix of introspection and keenly crafted Pop/R&B songs that has brought Jay Sean from where he was to where he is.
Born and raised in London, England and of Indian/Punjabi heritage, Jay Sean started rapping at 12 and credits rap with helping him structure, produce and write songs. Inspired by R&B stars Jodeci, Brian McKnight, Joe, and Musiq Soulchild, Jay Sean started singing hooks and then stepped it up.
Amazingly, at the same time he was exploring his artistic side, Jay Sean was at med school; surely a steadier profession than "pop-star." Luckily Jay Sean's parents had his back.
"It wasn't as though they suddenly went 'you sing?' Jay Sean laughs. "They knew there might be a strong possibility I'd do music. They told me, 'The same way you apply yourself to your studies you have to work hard doing music.' That's always stayed with me."
Jay Sean's songs caught the attention of a producer putting together a groundbreaking project fusing traditional Punjabi music and contemporary Pop/R&B. As soon as the single dropped, Jay Sean became the face and voice of a new generation.
"It was so interesting that the kids who love listening to Pop/R&B and traditional Indian music said, 'What the hell is this, it's brand new.'"
Along with galvanizing a heretofore, untapped demographic, Jay Sean caught the ears of the industry, because as he explains, "The English labels knew I had this huge following.
His solo debut ME AGAINST MYSELF dropped in 2004 and exploded on the Internet. Jay Sean toured through Europe, South East Asia, as well as spot dates in the US. He even performed, with Akon, at the Ruler of Dubai's daughter's sweet sixteen. In India, this album outsold Jay-Z, Britney Spears and Madonna.
"I have a heavy fan-base in many countries including India. I'm in a minority culture but in many countries, there's still Indians there and they all knew me," says Jay Sean.
After dealing with creative issues and the desire to change his musical direction to straight-forward Pop/R&B, Jay Sean made the decision in 2008 to go for self.
"I realized I had a global fan base so why not make the music myself?"
Those instincts paid off and then some when MY OWN WAY, his first release on his own label, Jayded Records, out sold and then some Jay Sean's prior effort. The album peaked at #6 on the UK album chart.
All of which brings Jay Sean to ALL OR NOTHING and a future that is just beginning.
Speaking with a refreshing mix of humility and confidence, Jay Sean says, "I've got a different up-bringing and take on a music that you guys make so well and would like to think that I'm a fresh new face and voice. Hopefully American audiences will like it. People always like a change. That's what I have to offer."

Numereous speculation traveling around the web right now, but I personally feel Joe deserves and has earned the right to speak for himself. Therefore, I will not be posting any updates on this unless Sakic himself speaks on this subject.

India and china are becoming superpowers !
Terrific students when it comes to rote learning but the lack of critical thought will catch up to them in the west.
Or less they study engineering, the professors will require more form them then spitting out answers.
Best of luck with your endeavors in the west.
install cctv in school toilet? what was the logic?
better come to taiwan to study. at least what happen in toilet still remain unknown.
I counted the word 'mainland' 15 times in this very short article. Is the writer getting paid by the word or is she writing under orders? It gets a little monotonous. In the real world, you could just use the word 'Chinese' and everyone would understand what you meant.
Despite their vocal pro-Japanese image, Taiwanese are so traditional and so successful in quiet Chinese way in America so I am surprised that there wouldn't be more interest in FLOODING the tea leaf island. The 100 Tastes of Taiwan series show the locals working themselves to the bone to do it right but the country seems very laid back and sleepy and very Fujianese but in a well governed way. Don't hold Gum Seng MO against them - he's so useful.
I still prefer Hong Kong. But I did LOVE the moral authority of the Taiwanese guest on Yang Rui's episode of Dialogue who showed pictorially that the Japanese are only interested in the Taiwanese maintaining the peace while Japan is free to habitually cross the line. What would Charlie Murphy do to a HABITUAL line crosser?
How is it when you deny the holocaust then there is no freedom of speech in America !
I'll tell you the real reason. It's because Taiwanese men talk like snobby women, and their women just sounds plain snobby, kind of like English people, and Chinese people can't stand them.
Education in Taiwan since 1945 has been a Communist-Fascist inspired one: that is brainwashing.
Smart Chinese student will not get the same high quality education they can get in Singapore, Canada, and (may be not in the near future, if brainwashing education is imposed in HK) HK.
Educators in Taiwan need to catch on to the fact that education isn't just about cultural exchange and singing Kumbaya around a campfire. It's about learning. And here, Taiwan's educational system has repeated the flaws found in Japan and Taiwan. Namely, college becomes a rest period between rigorous secondary education and the workplace. Small wonder that student seek the West where they enjoy more flexibility, the opportunity to conduct true research, and at least a modicum of academic rigor.
there you need money and standards are at high school level even at HARVARD
@ Anonymous "How is it when you deny the holocaust then there is no freedom of speech in America !"
You just did in America you wouldn't be arrested or killed for that! Cowardly to say without your name!
accept anybody with pulse and checkbook
No I mean deny the holocaust in front of the American media fool ! I will either be thrown in jail or I will be kissing my job goodbye !
Wow, we may not care or it may not mean much to us but the fact that being allowed to attend Harvard and Cambridge for Masako and Naruhito fed their narcissism - those TWINS! - is reason enough to NOT encourage that family by allowing Hisahito a free pass to any Western university the Japanese feel is the belle du jour.
722, it is not against the law in the US to deny the Holocaust - as it is in Europe - but the enormity of that event and the preponderance of US public opinion mean that a denier's reputation will suffer. Imagine a Chinese denying the Nanjing massacre. China would not look upon that favorably.
The Chinese party-state is tightening the vise on both foreign and domestic NGOs, writes expert contributor Stanley Lubman.
Two avenues are now open for Xi and his comrades following the fall of Zhou Yongkang, writes expert contributor Russell Leigh Moses.
In casting its "Skynet" overseas to target corrupt fugitives, Beijing has to face some legal challenges that cannot be easily addressed.
After a successful month selling his vision of China abroad, Chinese President Xi Jinping has turned his attention back home, where the sales job is tougher.

envisioning a New Future for Women If you could picture a different world for women in the future, what would it look like?
And you'd face some truly epic problems getting insurers to insure it in the way that I think the author is envisioning.
And he knew that he was envisioning something unprecedented.

All my life I have wondered why is a raven like a writing Desk?
Perhaps The Raven from the poem symolizes the writing Desk where Poe
wrote his masterpiece. That is the only conclusion I could come up with.
I would like to hear what you all think is the answer.

A 25-year-old man has been arrested after his girlfriend said he put their baby in a freezer to stop it from crying, the Pierce County Sheriff's Office said.
Pierce County Sheriff's spokesman Ed Troyer said a 22-year-old woman called authorities about 4:30 p.m. Saturday afternoon to say she returned to her home after being away only to find her boyfriend removing their 6-week-old daughter from the freezer.
Troyer said the baby's father told deputies he couldn't get the child to stop crying so he put her in the freezer for about an hour.
When medics arrived, the child was lethargic and unresponsive and the little girl's body temperture had dropped to about 84 degrees.
She was taken to Mary Bridge Children's Hospital but is expected to make a full recovery.
The father was arrested and booked for investigation of attempted murder.

King County Metro Transit in Seattle selected BAE Systems' HybriDrive Series-E electric drive system to power 120 New Flyer Xcelsior buses. According to BAE Systems, this is the largest order to date of the HybriDrive Series-E propulsion system, which enables electric drive modes to eliminate emissions from the vehicle and to reduce engine idling.HybriDrive Series-E can advance transit agencies toward all-electric buses, making silent operation of the vehicle possible and challenging fuel alternatives like diesel and compressed natural gas with its clean, efficient functions. The electric drive not only reduces noise in and around bus stops, but it represents a greater impact on environmental sustainability for the communities in which it operates, according to the company."HybriDrive Series-E is categorized as hybrid drive system, but the fact is, it powers a bus completely electrically," said Steve Trichka, VP/GM, HybriDrive Solutions, for BAE Systems. "Power from the on-board generator is either stored in the batteries or drawn to run the electric traction motor and the drive train. The technology provides our customers with a path to an all-electric vehicle.""With these new buses, King County takes another step toward improving the environmental sustainability of our region," said Kevin Desmond, GM of King County Metro Transit. "The buses will be delivered with advanced electrically controlled programming that turns the engine off at bus stops and depots. In addition, the vehicles will have all electrically-driven components that use the vehicle's electric energy instead of power from the diesel engine."The development and production of the propulsion systems will be conducted at BAE Systems' Endicott, N.Y. facility, with the first delivery scheduled for 2014. RELATED: "Global sales of electric drive buses to quadruple by 2018"
Each year, more and more people look forward to BusCon as a chance to network, learn about new trends and technology, and gain the tools that are necessary to revitalize the way they tackle their own operations.
The countdown clocks were developed in part to address concerns about the overall accessibility of MTA's Bus Time system, which sends wait-time information to riders via text message, a QR code scan, or over a web site.
The report argues that the city should be pushing for the "gold standard" of BRT. That would include a control station that monitors buses and ensures they come at well-spaced intervals and enclosed stops that shelter customers.
The existing design, more than 20 years old, will be phased out to make way for the new look that prominently features a light blue and orange wave across the bus and the words "OC Bus."
According to the plan, each bus will serve a specific purpose, with some including restrooms and showers and others being equipped with beds.
