The role of Public Prosecutions in the justice system
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and how can it affect criminal prosecutions
The Charter of Rights and Freedoms is part of the Canadian constitution. It sets out the constitutionally protected rights and freedoms all Canadians enjoy.
Sometimes the court decides that a specific criminal law violates an individual's rights or freedoms. If this happens, the court can strike the law down as inconsistent with the Charter. Sometimes it is not the law but the way it was enforced that causes it to be struck down. In both cases, a court may decide to stop the prosecution.
The court may exclude evidence if it was gathered in a way that violated the rights of an accused person.
The criminal courts examine the:

Report Bird Observations [New]
Site CGL03: Beaverdam Park, SR 606 Entrance
Less developed than the southern park access, this entrance provides sheltered picnic tables and bathrooms. The short fishing pier is a good place from which to scan for waterbirds, as well as look down on fish in the shallows and dragonflies. Expect the same array of birds as was discussed for the southern entrance, but in a quieter setting. The dense thickets surrounding the parking area are home to white-eyed vireos that sing incessantly throughout the summer. As you face the lake, look for trails to the right (which may be overgrown with berry vines) that provide access to other parts of the lakeshore. Just before reaching the park entrance, note the attractive, although not very accessible, marshes on both sides of the road. If you can park, scan here for marsh birds.
From Beaverdam Park Main Entrance, return to Main Street/SR 14/Business 17, turn right, and travel 0.3 miles, leaving Business 17 for US 17/SR 14. Turn right onto the George Washington Memorial Highway and drive 2.4 miles to Rt. 606/Farys Mill Road. Proceed north 2.5 miles on Farys Mill Road to the park entrance.

One series just hit its 4th edition at a crossroads, another reaches their 4th and still climbing. Kirko Bangz has some semblance of a footing in rap, most notably for his radio friendly odes to women such as "What Yo Name Iz" and "Drank In My Cup" but PK4 marks a turn for him.
Objectively darker and personal with odes to his fallen aunt on "Used To Be" and the guitar driven "Help Me Out", PK4 wants to solidify Kirko as an artist, not just a hitmaker who has tracks for the ladies. It's been the one totem that his regular detractors have any kind of ammo to lob at. Rife with produced tracks from Beanz-N-Kornbread, Soundmob, Happy P. & more, the tape gets big named features from French Montana, Young Jeezy, Paul Wall, Tyga, Z-Ro & Chris Brown.
Don't be surprised if "That Pole" with Breezy turns into another radio smash for Kirko. Grab the tape below.

LEGO Planet
this wiki
The LEGO Planet, occasionally referred to as Earth or Terra, is a planet of the LEGO System located in the Center Galaxy. It is most well-known for being the origin planet of the Minifig species, and much of known LEGO history takes place on this planet. The LEGO Planet has its own moon and is assumed to be the third planet from the sun.
History Edit
Origin of the LEGO Planet Edit
The LEGO Planet came into existence many, many years ago. Just how long ago it was created and how it was created is disputed amongst the Minifig species. One of the most commonly-accepted theories is that back when the LEGO Universe was entirely pure, unbridled imagination, ideas flowed freely until one day they formed into bricks. Some of these bricks joined together over periods of thousands of years, forming many planets including LEGO Planet.
For many years, it remained a desolate, lifeless planet, covered with a molten mixture of plastic, rock, and other substances. Eventually, the surface of the planet cooled and initially formed a wood-like solid that eventually hardened into plastic, rock, and other materials. Water gradually collected on the planet's surface and atmosphere, forming the oceans. With water and plastic, early life forms began to evolve on the LEGO Planet.
Beginnings of Life Edit
Life started very small, as microscopic plastic creatures came into being in the oceans of the LEGO Planet. Slowly, these microscopic creatures became plants and animals, and with time these animals and plants moved from the oceans to cover the LEGO Planet's land as well. Over many years, the most iconic creatures of this prehistoric time came into existence: dinosaurs. Other creatures such as ducks and Teddy Bills existed during this early era.
However, approximately sixty-five million years ago, the LEGO Planet was struck by a natural cataclysm. Exactly what this cataclysm was is under debate, though some theories include an asteroid impact or a severe drought. No matter what this cataclysm was, the result was that most of the dinosaur species went extinct. The only known dinosaurs that survived this had taken refuge on a land mass that split into three smaller islands: Adventurers Dino Island, Dinosaur Island, and Adventurers' Island.
Minifig Civilization Edit
After this mass extinction, life slowly restarted itself. While the dinosaurs were mostly wiped out, species such as ducks and Teddy Bills survived and continued to evolve and adapt to the ever-changing planet. Then, the LEGO Planet entered a time of colder climate as the ice and glaciers from the north and south poles stretched towards the equator to cover most of the planet in ice, a period appropriately named the Ice Age.
Around this time, the Minifig species came into being. As the Ice Age ended and the glaciers withdrew back to the north and south, this new species grew in population and intelligence, then began to colonize nearly the entire planet. They built many cities and transportation systems as they settled the globe. They also managed to travel into space, meeting other sentient species on faraway planets and creating an intergalactic union.
In modern times, the LEGO Planet is dominated mostly by the Minifig species, but home to many other forms of life in the land, sea, and air.
Dino Attack Edit
In early 2010, dinosaurs once more inhabited the LEGO Planet, but this time they were mutated. These Mutant Dinos spread all over the LEGO Planet by means of cargo ships, tunnel networks, air travel, and even teleportation. When their attack reached civilization, cities were left devastated and in ruins. Even the space ports were destroyed, virtually isolating the planet's population from the rest of the universe. While this kept the Mutant Dinos from spreading into space, it trapped the remaining inhabitants of the planet and forced them to evacuate to Antarctica, where Mutant Dinos were not able to go.
The Mutant Dinos were created by an organization called XERRD, which used the dark destructive energies of the Maelstrom to mutate these specimens. But little did they know that the Maelstrom's ultimate goal in the Dino Attack was to eliminate XERRD, exterminate the Minifig species, and destroy the LEGO Planet itself.
To prevent the Mutant Dino invasion from spreading to other worlds, the Galactic Council officially placed LEGO Planet under quarantine. No spacecrafts were allowed to leave LEGO Planet, trapping the population there. This was done to ensure that no Mutant Dinos could stowaway on a spaceship and prevent anyone who would attempt to smuggle Mutant Dino eggs off the planet. Despite this quarantine, spacecraft from other worlds were allowed to enter LEGO Planet to aid in defeating the Mutant Dinos, so long as they did not leave until the war had ended. As a result, the Space Police and Rock Raiders did send some of their ships to LEGO Planet.
A select team of Minifigs known as the Dino Attack Team rised up to defeat the Mutant Dinos and bring peace to the LEGO Planet. After several grueling months of conflict, breakthroughs, heavy losses, and signifigant victories, the team emerged victorious in a climatic final battle in LEGO City. Via a device known as the Einstein Device and the sacrifice of acclaimed Elite Agent Rex , all Mutant Dinos were either exterminated or purified from Maelstrom influence. Their armies gone and original leaders dead, XERRD abandoned its campagin and formally surrendered.
The Minifig population soon returned to their homes, and they began the process of rebuilding quickly and efficently. By the dawn of 2011, the LEGO Planet was well into recovery. Travel to and from it was reopened, and the Dino Attack slowly but surely became part of the past, to the concern of some philosophers.
Regardless, the LEGO Planet was once more a complete, strong, and prominent part of the LEGO Universe.
Composition and StructureEdit
Geography Edit
LEGO Planet's geography varies greatly from location to location.
Most of the LEGO Planet is covered with water, which forms rivers, lakes, and oceans. Much geography can be located beneath the surface of the water, including undersea volcanoes, oceanic trenches, submarine canyons, oceanic plateaus, and abyssal plains. The oceans are home to much life on the LEGO Planet, and even some Minifigs live underwater in areas such as the Aquazone.
In comparison, only a small percentage of the LEGO Planet is land above water. The land is covered with mountains, deserts, plains, plateaus, and other landforms. In addition, large numbers of wildlife such as trees formed forests and jungles, while Minifigs have constructed vast cities, roads, and farms. The Minifig species has divided the land into regions known as countries and continents.
Many forests, cities, and jungles have been destroyed by the Mutant Dinos.
Weather and Climate Edit
The climate ranges as well, based on the location.
The tropical climates are found at the LEGO Planet's equator, where the planet receives the most direct sunlight. Here, the climate and weather tends to be very hot and humid. The subtropical climates are found just north and south of the tropical climates, where the weather is also hot and humid, but usually to a lesser degree.
The temperate climate is found farther north and south of the equator. The climate ranges from hot to cold during the year, and the climate may range from desert to temperate forest. The temperate climate is known for being divided into four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn, with winter being the coldest and summer being the hottest.
At the north and south poles, the polar climates are found. The polar climates tend to be freezing and barely suitable for life such as Minifigs. However, the poles are not completely uninhabitable, as most of the Minifig species is taking refuge from the Mutant Dinos in Antarctica.
Trivia Edit
- There are many official LEGO sources which refer to this planet as "Earth". However, in Dino Attack RPG, it is renamed "LEGO Planet" in an effort to distance this planet from the real-world planet Earth. This is due to the many LEGO-exclusive locations and islands, as well as the unique timeline followed by Dino Attack RPG.

Hi, as my name says, I am brand new to firearms. I don't own a firearm yet. My only exposure to firearms have been two courses I took at Gander Mountain Academy recently (Basic Handgun Fundamentals, Intermediate handgun). I however am already a member of both the NRA & GOA
I recently got my Green Card (yes the US takes in more immigrants legally than any other country in the world), so now I am eligible to own a firearm. I took the training courses mentioned above and got my state permit to purchase firearms. I am about to make my first purchase, and that is why I have joined here to get more information, learn more; my first purchase attempt at a neighborhood store was very unpleasant as I ran into pushy, condescending salesmen trying to sell me very expense (anything close to $1000 is very expensive for me) handguns.
I want to add; I immigrated from a third world country run by the military junta. They have the strictest gun control, which includes the death penalty for owning anything semiautomatic or above a .22 caliber. However criminals never never have any problem being armed. The military never seemed to care about armed criminals terrorizing innocent people; it was armed law abiding citizens they were more concerned about. The American founding fathers were very wise in recognizing the right for free law abiding people to bear arms.
Thanks, God bless.

College Money Guru,
I am taking job-related courses but my employer does not have a tuition reimbursement plan. I know I can use a 529 plan to pay my tuition. My state allows a tax deduction for 529 contributions but there is no federal deduction for 529 contributions.
Can I itemize my tuition as a job-related expense on my federal return -- even if the tuition was paid using a 529 plan -- since there was no federal tax benefit except on earnings from the 529 plan?
-- Cris
As a general rule, the tax law prohibits the use of the same dollar of expenditure for more than one tax benefit, affectionately known as "double dipping." For example, if you were to claim the Lifetime Learning credit against your tuition payments, those tuition payments could no longer be counted as qualified expenses when it comes to using your 529 plan.
Itemizing your tuition as a job-related expense, while including the tuition for 529 purposes, is a clear example of double dipping. However, I scoured the tax code and found no specific rule preventing your use of both tax benefits for the same tuition payments.
Perhaps this was an oversight on the part of Congress, considering that tax law specifically prohibits the same double dip when using a Coverdell education savings account, or CESA. CESAs and 529s are subject to similar tax rules when used to pay for college, but apparently that is not the case with respect to your particular issue.
The IRS explains the various tax
incentives for education in Publication
970: Tax Benefits for Education. A section
describing the business deduction for work-related
education, including a brief explanation of the
anti-double dipping rule, starts on Page 59 of
that publication.
Unfortunately, the IRS does not provide enough details to clarify the coordination, or lack thereof, between the business deduction and 529 withdrawals. Ultimately, that's left for you and a tax professional to determine.
To ask a question of the College Money Guru, go to the "Ask the Experts" page, and select "college financing" as the topic.

Commentators who knew Smith posted at a local Dallas news story say Justin Smith was a "mellow" guy and they wouldn't have suspected he led a dual life.
Justin Pharez Smith, known in Dallas as "J-Dawg", didn't have Blood, Crip or other gang affiliations on his Facebook page. Justin Smith's Facebook page indicates he belongs to a group calls UAPB Black Male Achievers. Smith also belonged to an Afrocentric Film group. Justin Pharez Smith was a junior agriculture major.
Despite his professional and academic life, Smith admitted to the murder of three people people and the attempted murder of another three last Saturday morning in Dallas, Texas. Friends and family of the people Smith murdered say they don't care about the life of Justin Smith, just the lives of the people he murdered.
After Smith shot and killed two women and one man. He left three witnesses, all of whom he attempted to shoot, to tell their stories to Dallas police.
Smith's bond is set at $1 million.
Early on Saturday morning, at 6:40 a.m., Dallas police say Smith entered a known drug house to "conduct business". By the time Smith left, three people had been shot to death, another was shot in the head and then kicked before Smith exited the house.
A fifth victim and witness, an employee of the house, got into a physical confrontation with Smith as Smith exited the building. Smith had emptied his chamber. A sixth person approached the house, Smith is said to have taken shots at the sixth person, which enabled the fifth to run and escape.
Smith then got in his car to run the fifth person down. Police say he tried to kill the fifth person with his car.
The fourth victim inside of the house, despite a gunshot wound to the head, went to a neighbor's for help. Before Smith shot her, she told police she begged for her life and told Smith that she had babies. Smith left the room this victim was sleeping in, then returned and shot her. He kicked her to make sure she was dead. Police say she curled up in a fetal position and survived the assault by playing possum.
She identified Smith to police in photographs on Sunday in the hospital. Police say her wounds are not life-threatening and she's expected to make a full physical recovery. She's recovering at Baylor University Hospital.
After the homicides, Smith went to his mother's house in Arlington, Texas where police say he showered, removed blood stained clothing and hid weapons. He then went and got a haircut. The evidence was recovered by the time police captured Smith on Sunday. In Smith's poetry, he alludes to receiving his "glow" from his mom and refers to her as a goddess.
After Smith left Arlington, he then fled to what he told police is his "mentor's" residence. Police will not say whether Smith's mother or his mentor were aware that Smith had been involved in a shooting.
Dallas police also refused to reveal the type of narcotics involved at the house where the three murders occurred. They did say that the house had been operational for about five months and had received complaints about narcotics trafficking.
They also express little interest as to whether or not the other survivors are involved in drug trafficking or not.
Smith killed 21-year-old Tyteanna Lyahanee Brown, 36-year-old Kimberly Montgomery and 37-year-old Demarcus Walton.

Hi everyone,Now I've retired from the day job ( Still playing and Teaching though ) I thought I would refurbish my Eko 12 string which has a bit of belly bulge and a slightly raised bridge. My…Continue
Started by John Buckle May 2, 2015.
Finally got round to it. I have fitted a JLD bridge doctor to my old EKO 12 string. The bridge and and top are now back to being flat. Easy to fit and well recommended . Hardest part was drilling out the Rivet on the EKO bridge to replace with a fixing screw for the JLD.
In my youth I played many EKO guitars although I never owned one back then. This website may be of interest:
My wife and I were in Perugia, Italy for the month of May 2013 and the weather was awful. So that I'd have something to do whilst she was pursuing her language studies, my wife suggested I buy a cheap guitar. So, I bought a black Chinese made Eko Ranger for about $50. Believe it or not, it was a cannon and I wished I could have brought it back home with me but you don't want to get into negotiations with our low-cost airlines about bringing instruments on board. I gave the guitar to a German guy whom I met in Perugia, with the the advice that he should replace the rather awful medium-guage Chinese strings (I was too cheap to do so) with a set of extra lights (he was learning on a nylon strung guitar). He subsequently emailed me that he was having great fun with the Eko.

My first Dreadnought was an Eko Eldorado, and I live near Recanati where they were made. I've been in the old factory many times before the bankruptcy and the closure. Now they're again on the business but don't produce here in Italy. As I repair guitars, I know them very well. So... I think I can stay in this group too. I'm sure I have some old tuners for the 12 str. Ranger. If I can help...
It needs some work but I got it!!
where is my old 12 strings Eko Ranger ? she was my acoustic guitar when I played in 1971 in a progressive band......(I have a lot of nostalgia, of those days and of my EKO)
Seamus, UK. My dad gave me his J64 22 years ago. He got it in the early 60's. It still has the label from the music shop in Glasgow where it was origionally bought.
It's been a good friend. I took it tramping with me round the UK many years ago. I don't play it now, the neck is warped from all the sleeping rough we did together.
john from UK here. Just bought an Eros 12 string from a music festival in the Summer. The Eros bran was pretty similar to Eko, ie use of bolt on necks etc, and this ones no exception. I will post picture when I get back from Italy.
The owner of the company is reputed to be the brother of the mnan that ran Eko.

Spotlight on Glenna Cooper
Glenna Cooper, TCC's first full-time Deaf faculty member, signs "ASL," which represents American Sign Language. She shares with Spotlight about the benefits that exist for hearing people to learn ASL basics. She is Assistant Professor in the Interpreter Education Program, which is a program that offers classes in Deaf Culture and American Sign Language as well as interpreting.
As part of its mission to serve the community, Tulsa Community College is raising awareness that people have the opportunity to learn American Sign Language (ASL) at TCC. Spotlight recently met with Glenna Cooper to discuss the benefits of learning ASL. As TCC's first full-time Deaf faculty member, Cooper has a master's degree in Sign Language Education-Teaching from Gallaudet University, qualifying her as a professor in ASL/Deaf Studies and as an ASL Development Specialist. She emphasized that anyone, especially those who work in public service, such as health care workers, police officers, firefighters, etc., can benefit from learning to communicate with people who are Deaf.
Spotlight: Why is it important for people in public service to know some ASL basics?
Cooper: The community can benefit from these classes at TCC in two ways: First, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 mandates that a comprehensive variety of public and private services as well as employers must be accessible to all people regardless of disability. When dealing with people who are Deaf, Deaf-Blind or hard of hearing, this means that communication must be accessible. In many cases, the best way to ensure this is to have a qualified interpreter.
Second, it would help reduce anxiety between the Deaf person and the public service worker, enabling them to become comfortable with each other by using basic ASL until the interpreter arrives. This would reduce misunderstandings and anxiety.
Spotlight: Is sign language difficult to learn?
Cooper: Many people assume that it is difficult to learn sign language, but their opinions change once they take ASL I. Many of the students fall in love with sign language and then decide to enroll in ASL II and then just keep going.
Spotlight: How did ASL originate?
Cooper: Since the Cratrylas days, sign language has been used so it has been around more than 1,000 years. Prior to the birth of ASL, signed language was used in the United States as early as 1541. During the early 19th century, sign language was heavily used in Martha's Vineyard because there was a recessive nature of genetic Deafness on that island. Chilmark had a 5 percent rate of genetic Deafness, so both hearing and Deaf residents used sign language.
Once American School for the Deaf was founded in Hartford, Conn., in 1817, many Chilmark residents relocated there to work or enter their Deaf children into the first American School for the Deaf. Over the years, those children who graduated went to other states to establish Deaf schools for the Deaf. Many Deaf graduates became productive citizens with successful jobs.
Then oral communication took over and created some shift in the Deaf community's communication. Many hearing people believed that oral communication would work better so more schools started switching to oral communication. In actuality, it was causing some issues with Deaf-identity and other areas.
During the '60s at Gallaudet University, Dr. Bill Stokoe, a linguist, studied ASL and discovered that ASL is a full-fledged true language that presents strong evidence of its grammar rules including phonology, morphology and syntax. That is when sign language became stronger in the Deaf education program, proving that Deaf babies needed to be exposed to their natural language, American Sign Language.
Spotlight: What do you hope that students can learn from you, as a Deaf adult, that they can't learn from a hearing person?
Cooper: This is my opportunity to teach hearing students to become more aware of the Deaf world with its rich visual language and cultural aspects. At the same time, I want Deaf students to become empowered with their own Deaf-identify and their Deaf heritage and build self-esteem as a Deaf individual.
Spotlight: How are Deaf Culture and Deaf Community defined?
Cooper: The Deaf community constitutes a vibrant, living culture in every way. They have their own cultural and Deaf identify to cherish just like every other cultural community. The Deaf Community welcomes others to learn sign language and the Deaf Culture as long as people are respectful to the culture and community.

We're pretty sure it's not legal to keep a fox as a pet, but wouldn't it be cool? Except for that whole responsibility thing, of course. We're not ready to be tied down, even by something as cute as a fox, but we'll totally rock this Arctic Fox Wraparound Ring ($48). Yeah, we know, we're just encouraging all those "foxy" comments we already get at the bar. Oh well...
You actually can have a Fox as a pet in some states and countries with some sort of license and what not.

Options Traders Cast Cold Eye On Stock Rally
By Kaitlyn Kiernan
Some options traders are skeptical that the beginning-of-the-week stock rally will survive a big slate of jobs data.
Investors used options on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY), an exchange-traded fund tracking the movement of the Standard & Poor's 500-stock index, to bet on a drop of as much as 4.2% in the benchmark through the end of the week.
After a surprisingly strong reading on domestic manufacturing, and a bump up in the S&P 500, options investors piled into weekly bets that profit should the index drop back to levels last seen two months ago. The option plays come ahead of a series of key economic data, including factory orders, jobless claims and April payrolls.
"With the ADP Employment Report on Wednesday, weekly claims Thursday and the big jobs report Friday, the unemployment data has plenty of chances to disappoint," said Frederic Ruffy, analyst at WhatsTrading.com.
The S&P 500 finished up 0.6% at 1405.82, its fifth gain in six trading days and highest close since April 3.
Early Tuesday, one investor picked up a large bet in weekly options that expire Friday, wagering stocks wouldn't hold Tuesday's gains and the SPY would drop as much as 4.2% by the end of the week. The trader set up a strategy known as a "put ratio spread," selling 24,000 weekly $135 put options to buy 10,000 weekly $138 put options. The trade requires the SPY to fall at least 2% to break even.
Put options convey the right to sell a stock at a specific price by a designated date. The SPY ETF added 87 cents, or 0.6%, to $140.74 on Tuesday.
"This is a smart bet if you think we are going to see a shallow dropoff with the unemployment data but don't see a fall below that $135 level," said Jeff Shaw, head of trading at Timber Hill. "By selling the $135s to buy the $138, this isn't an expensive bet to play an expected drop with the data."
The most actively traded contract of the day also highlighted investors' doubts about Tuesday's rally. Weekly $140 put options traded about 75,000 times, nearly 22,000 times more than the next most actively traded option. The weekly $140 put, bought at an average price of 51 cents, profits should the SPY drop 1.3% over the next three days.
The government's monthly jobs report is expected to show a gain of 168,000 jobs in April, up from 120,000 added in March, according to economists polled by Dow Jones Newswires. The unemployment rate is expected to stay unchanged at 8.2%.

TULANE UNIVERSITY HEAD COACH Rick Jones
"It was a night that we had to battle more than one opponent, an outstanding Alabama club and the weather. My concern was when we had them yesterday in the situation you want in a double-elimination tournament when we were fresh. But they had a day's rest and gave them the chance to do what they did tonight and that was bring LeBlanc back. He cut us up for a while; he is really good. I was concerned because of that. We were sloppy early and that hurt us. I thought Micah Owings did such a great job; he really stepped up. When we had the delay, he was probably going to come out anyway; he was up around 122 [pitch count]. Daniel Latham, boy was he good, three saves in three days and his stuff was outstanding."
(on Dini's home run)
"Dini's home run was a big blow; it stretched the lead, put us in a position where we got into their bullpen a little bit more."
(on the rain/weather)
"At the end there, my concern was not just Alabama, but the ball was going to be so wet. I thought Manzella did a great job on the last out in the eighth, getting a good handle on the ball. That ball was very wet. You just worry about those kind of things, but it worked out for us."
(on Owings)
"Micah's a guy that if you're going to get him, you'll get him in one inning; and that was the third when we bobbled a ball. After that, he got stronger; if you watched him in the seventh, he ran that fast ball and it had life on it."
(on Tulane's ability to respond to opponent scoring)
"We have done that most of the year and it's because we have a veteran club that's talented. We don't press too much. Next week, we'll see how it goes. We get down a run or two and we seem to respond in a positive way. You have to have the ability to do that, but you also need guys who have experience. Our guys have always enjoyed nine innings."
"I'm really proud of our guys. They battled Tulane, which is a very good team. We had opportunities to hit [Tulane starting pitcher Micah] Owings. We were just a hit or two away. And their lineup is dynamite; they have nine hitters. We tried to take Owings out of the equation [two intentional walks], but they have a very solid lineup. [Tulane catcher Greg] Dini hits the home run and a couple of pitchers here and there. That is a very good team; they should get to Omaha and have a chance to win. The main thing is that these guys [Alabama] played their hearts out; effort was never a question all year. They gave us everything."
(on pitcher Wade LeBlanc)
"I expected him to do well, but you never know [on short rest]. He said he felt pretty good and he did pitch well. He got behind Dini 1-0, and it wasn't a bad pitch; but it was a fastball count and their hitters did a good job of not missing when it counted."
(on Tulane's team)
"Certainly they are going to score a lot of runs and they have two number-one type starters. I didn't get to see a lot of their pen, but [closer Daniel] Latham looks pretty good. They don't have any glaring weakness; I think they have a real good shot. Coming out of the SEC and seeing teams that have done real well in our league, they are as good a team as we have seen all year. They have no outs in their lineup."

It's blatantly evident that I have a great abhorrence for pessimism, as it has a habit of sucking the ever-loving joy out of life. However, although the Capitals haven't missed a playoff run since 2007, I personally believe that it would be in the best interests of them and their fans to accept a long, hockey-less post-season. If the Caps lose out on a playoff slot, it simply won't be the end of the world.
The great arrival of Caps savior Evgeny Kuznetsov may have successfully distracted fans, but the inevitable truth is still looming. The presence of one player is simply not enough to carry an entire team through the playoffs (see: Ovechkin, circa-2006). I'm excited to see what this kid is capable of, and his talents are going to be far more evident and refined once he's fully acclimated to the team and the NHL environment as a whole. However, the high expectation set of his talent is slightly disconcerting, as the standards for him seem almost impossible. Personally, I think Oates was spot on starting him on the fourth line. The kid needs to get his toes wet. He's not going to singlehanded fix #DCSports overnight.
Riddled with injuries, as hockey players usually are, the Capitals had the opportunity to call up several Hershey Bears players throughout this season. Several never got to see playing time, and were instead fruitlessly racking up miles on their car (I'm looking at you, Orlov). Fan favorite Oleksy was shoved aside like a ginger step-child, much to the dismay of those already questioning Oates' decision making skills. Young guns started becoming less and less promising, as it became evident that throwing a couple fists would be more useful in gaining a roster spot for a rookie than actual finesse and skill. Verizon Center has leveled down to a 1990's grade of quiet, to the point where we're GIF-ing crowd reactions to something that is supposed to happen after 40 minutes of pointless stretch passes and disconnected communication between defensemen.
The 2014 trade deadline proved to be a shocker for us all, as expected nowadays. GMGM went the goaltender route, if not only for letting Neuvy fly free (at least it wasn't South to Phoenix). I'm not going to demonize his choices, as I know every decision was carefully and thoroughly thought out. I will not speculate the capabilities of these players, evaluate their breakfast food preferences, or even concern myself that the Caps were dreadfully Halak'd in the past. The Caps will likely miss the 2014 playoffs, and here's why: With a crumbling defense, discord on the offensive lines, and a starting goalie with the self-confidence of a 7th grader, they need time to get their ish together.
Halak, in 40 games with St. Louis, has gone 24-9-4. He's earned a 2.23 GAA and a .917 save percentage, and has been "an upgrade on the tandem", per GMGM. Oates still plans on uncomfortably flipping between Halak and Holtby, utilizing the favored "hot glove" school of thought. Although the veteran goaltender can prove to benefit the franchise, Halak can do nothing to remedy the dumpster fire that is currently the Capitals defense. More disturbingly, George McPhee has dismissed the fact the Caps get consistently outshot, breezing that it "might be better for this particular goaltender".
Dustin Penner seems to be a great pickup, if not solely for his social media presence (seriously, follow him if you haven't already). Brooks Laich, subject of TMZ, called him a guy that "runs toward the fire", and McPhee even compared him to Mike Knuble. Although Penner wasn't exactly what Caps fans were expecting for a defensive pick, no top-four D were realistically available during the trade deadline, because of course they weren't.
The Caps are currently 30-26-10, sitting comfortably in 5th place of the Metropolitan division and 10th in the Eastern Conference overall. They've successfully squandered the time they had to gather themselves in the 2013-2014 season, and the debacle that was Sochi hockey didn't help one bit. Their confidence is dwindling. Although the Cardiac Caps make for a great show, it's not even remotely sustainable – especially for a playoff run.
In the old Patrick Division, the Caps played in 11 playoff series, and yet won a title only once in 1989. In the 14 years of this alignment, the six teams that comprised the Patrick Division collectively reached the Stanley Cup finals a total of nine times. The Caps' continual post-season outcome, albeit frustrating, was met with growth and slow improvement. Since their inception, they consistently won points at around a league average; with the only exception occurring in the between 1998 – 2000 and more recently, 2008-2011. These years are more recognizable as the best chances the Caps had at going the distance.
With the opportunity to face the same rivals in the new Metropolitan division, the Caps have no choice but to put forth their best effort throughout a full season. Without significant improvement, they have no chance of succeeding. Without their success, none of us in DC will be able to witness our men in red openly weeping while caressing Sir Stanley. No fan deserves to miss out on something like that.
They're not playing exclusively against the Southeast anymore; these are teams that have broken our hearts in the Division Finals for the past seven years. The Caps need more time playing solid, competitive hockey with rivals that force them to put forth 100% effort for a full 60 minutes before they can make a successful run in the playoffs. As the dominant force in the Southeast, the Caps continually struggled through the first round before slowly imploding like a bad soufflé. Not everyone will play like Florida. The division is not easy, and their inconsistent performance throughout this past year doesn't warrant a deserving post-season.
All in all, the transition to success in the new division is going to take a lot of patience. The Caps have built a massive franchise with talented players and loyal fans that are still going to return if they don't win a playoff slot in 2014. At this point, it could quite possibly be the best thing for them.

'The Dark Knight Rises' Raises Ugly Debate on Rotten Tomatoes
Even before "The Dark Knight Rises" opens to the general public, folks online are clashing over the reviews.
The critical controversies center around movie review aggregation site Rotten Tomatoes. Early this week, reviews of Christopher Nolan's final Batman film began coming in to Rotten Tomatoes. Everything was fine for the first 30 or so reviews, all of which were positive on the film. But then, a critic named Marshall Fine posted a negative review. The reaction was – well – let's just say it was not pretty.
Fine didn't respond to a request for comment from Speakeasy.
Fine didn't trash the film, he merely said he felt "The Dark Knight Rises" was the weakest of Nolan's Batman trilogy. But within minutes, hundreds of people had posted comments on Fine's review, many of which were personal attacks on Fine. "I knew it would probably be controversial just because I was the first negative one, and the first person to burst that 100% bubble always comes in for some negative response, but it was like a tsunami," Fine said. "What's amazing to me — and sort of amusing to me — is that all of these comments are coming from people who haven't seen the movie."
The comments ranged from short, simple cursing all the way up to death threats. One poster said he wanted Fine to die in a fire. Another fantasized about beating Fine to death with a thick rubber hose. For Rotten Tomatoes, that was enough. The website shut down the commenting feature on all "Dark Knight Rises" reviews. Rotten Tomatoes Editor-in-chief Matt Atchiity wrote, "There are plenty of other things to get angry about, like war, famine, poverty and crime. But not movie reviews."
But the controversy did not stop there. Before the site had shut down all comments, film critic Eric Snider of Film.com also posted a negative review… sort of. Snider hadn't yet been to a screening of "The Dark Knight Rises," so, as a kind of joke, he posted a fake review. His fake review was one sentence saying the newest film was the worst Batman film ever made (including the poorly received Batman films of the late 1990s). But, if you bothered to read Snider's entire review, he quickly made it clear that he had not seen the film and was just kidding. He was trying to prank the Rotten Tomatoes posters to see if they would actually bother to read his review or just attack him for the one sentence blurb. He guessed most would just attack. He was right.
Along with all the rage-filled comments, Snider also got a death threat, from someone who said they wanted to stick a bomb –well – inside part of his body. Rotten Tomatoes, already stinging from the negative comments, felt Snider had gone too far with his fake review. They took the review down and have banned Snider's reviews from their site.
On his twitter feed, Snider said he was not trying to prank Rotten Tomatoes, only the "awful commenters there."
Snider didn't respond to a request for comment from Speakeasy.
Snider, by the way, did finally get to see "The Dark Knight Rises" and, while he thinks it is the weakest of Nolan's Batman films, he still liked it enough to give it a solid "B."
In the couple days since Fine and Snider were attacked, a few more negative reviews of "The Dark Knight Rises" have surfaced. The consensus now seems to be that the film is a very good one, but not perfect and many say it is a bit too long (The Journal's Joe Morgenstern gave the film a positive review). But the question remains, why do some people want so desperately for a movie to be good that they are willing to attack a few critics who say otherwise?
"These 'crazy people' have already locked themselves into liking the film," says Collider.com film reviewer Matt Goldeberg. "They've been hit with so much marketing from the studios that they feel like they have invested time, energy, and passion into the film even before they have seen it. For someone to say, 'it's not good' is not an acceptable answer to them. As a critic, I want people to have a conversation with me about films, a conversation that goes beyond 'I agree' or 'I disagree.' They don't want to have that conversation."
Once "The Dark Knight Rises" opens in theaters, tonight at midnight, the critic bashing and analysis will certainly quiet down. After all, once the public has weighed in on a film, critics' comments carry less and less weight. Hollywood fortunes are often made on films that critics savaged. To real people, praise or pans from a friend carry more weight than a dozen prominent critic reviews. Still, it would be nice if the people who savage the critics would at least wait to see them film first.

Clevaland Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden joined The Hooligans on WKNR in Cleveland to talk about what he needs to do for the upcoming 2013 season to get his teammates and the new coaching staff behind him.
Weeden in confident in his abiility going forward as he reflects how he thinks he played in 2012.
"Average. I know I'm a better player than the way I played all year. I'm not satisfied with the way I played all year," Weeden said, via sportsradiointerviews.com.
"So being the competitor that I am, I see a lot of areas of improvement. And I know I have to get better in order for this organization to win games. And my ultimate goal is for us to get to the playoffs and win a Super Bowl, so I feel like personally it starts with me — I've gotta get better. And I wouldn't change anything because I thought like I prepared well. Week-in and week-out I felt like I put myself in position."
With a new coaching staff in Cleveland, it's basically back to drawing board in learning a new offense in his second year. He says it's not an ideal situation for his development, but he's not discouraged.
"I don't think any player would say that's the ideal way to go about it but that's the hand we're being dealt. I'm not discouraged about it at all. I'm actually extremely excited. I think this system has proved to score a lot of points. The numbers that Philip Rivers has put up in it the last few years is encouraging. He's got a big-time arm and he throws the football around down the field, and they stretch it. So as a quarterback you see that, and to me that's exciting. I want to be the guy that sits back in shotgun and slings it down the field, or play-action and throw it down the field. That's what this offense is all about."

Live Coverage -- The UC Santa Barbara match will be audio broadcast live on the internet at www.uclabruins.com. John Ramey, Mike Sondheimer and Allison Taylor will have the call. Fans can also follow both games via Gametracker. Links are available at uclabruins.com on the events calendar on the front page.
In The Rankings -- The Bruins moved up one spot in the Soccer America poll to No. 16 and are also ranked No. 30 by both College Soccer News and Top Drawer Soccer. UC Santa Barbara is ranked No. 6 by the NSCAA and Top Drawer Soccer, No. 7 by College Soccer News and No. 9 by Soccer America. San Diego is unranked in all polls.
Scouting The Gauchos -- UC Santa Barbara comes into their matchup with UCLA with a 4-0-1 record on the season. This past weekend, the Gauchos defeated 9th ranked West Virginia 2-0 at home and played to a 0-0 draw with Villanova. Luis Silva and David Opoku scored the goals for Santa Barbara in the West Virginia game and goalkeeper Andre Grandt made four saves in the tie with Villanova. Opoku leads the Gauchos with four goals and eight points on the year while preseason All-American Sam Garza has one goal and one assist. Garza led the Gauchos last season with nine goals and 24 points. Overall, UCSB returns six starters from their 2010 squad that went 14-5-3 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
The Series With UC Santa Barbara -- UCLA leads the overall series with UC Santa Barbara 31-4-2. The two teams met last season in front of a record crowd at Santa Barbara's Harder Stadium in a game that the Gauchos won 2-0. The crowd of 15,896 ranked as the second-largest ever to watch a regular season NCAA soccer game. Santa Barbara got goals from David Opoku and Danny Barrera in the match. The two teams also met in the 3rd round of the NCAA tournament in 2009 where the Bruins won 2-1 at Drake Stadium. Fernando Monge and Ryan Hollingshead each tallied goals for the Bruins in that match with Hollingshead netting the game-winner in the 37th minute.
Scouting The Toreros -- San Diego has a record of 3-2-0 thus far. After dropping their first two matches to UC Irvine and Drake, the Toreros have won three in a row against San Diego State, Penn and Manhattan. Nine different players have scored one goal for San Diego while midfielder Christian Duke leads the team in assists with three. Junior forward Patrick Wallen is the Toreros' star player, as he was named the West Coast Conference Player of the Year in 2010. Head coach Seamus McFadden is in his 33rd season as San Diego head coach and has been named the West Coast Conference Coach of the Year a record seven times. Last season, San Diego went 9-7-3 and finished in fourth place in the WCC.
The Series With San Diego -- The Bruins have a record of 20-5-4 all-time against San Diego. UCLA has won the last two meetings against the Toreros, winning 3-2 in OT last season at Drake Stadium and 2-1 in San Diego in 2009. Last season, Evan Raynr scored a golden goal in the 95th minute against the Toreros to give UCLA the 3-2 victory. Kelyn Rowe and Victor Chavez each tallied goals in that match as well. Marcelo Carminatti scored both goals for the Toreros.
Defending Drake -- The Bruins are 82-13-14 all-time at Drake Stadium, good for a .817 winning percentage. Last season UCLA went 9-1-0 at Drake Stadium, including two wins in the NCAA 2nd and 3rd rounds. The Bruins began playing their home games full-time at Drake Stadium in 2000.
Recapping the Weekend -- The Bruins picked up two victories at home over the weekend, defeating both Saint Mary's and Loyola Marymount by scores of 2-1. In the first match against the Gaels, UCLA got on the board in the 48th minute with Chandler Hoffman's third goal of the season to put them up 1-0. Kelyn Rowe followed that up with a beautiful goal in the 73rd minute, blasting a shot from just outside the right edge of the box into the far post for his first goal of the season. Rowe's goal would prove to be the game winner as the Bruins held on for a 2-1 victory. In a physical game against LMU, the Bruins got first half goals from transfer Ryan Lee and Hoffman to propel them to victory. The Lions helped UCLA out when they went down to 10 men in the first half and in the second half the Bruins did a great job of maintaining possession and limiting LMU"s scoring chances.
Man on Fire -- Junior forward Chandler Hoffman has been on a tear for the Bruins as of late, scoring a goal in each of the last four games. Hoffman has picked up right where he left off last season, scoring 10 goals in his last 11 games for UCLA and leading the Pac-12 in points (8) and goals (4) this season. Overall, Chandler has also recorded either a goal or an assist in 10 of his last 11 games.

For most beers, bottling is the final step in the brewing process. But a technique called bottle-conditioning throws the process a little off-track while adding layers of flavor, mouthfeel and ageability.
When brewers opt to bottle-condition, they add live yeast just before capping or corking a beer and leave it in a warm room for at least two weeks to allow the yeast to work its magic. In the simplest terms, the yeast converts sugar to carbon dioxide and alcohol.
"Bottle-conditioning is that kiss of carbonation done in the bottle, as opposed to carbonating in a tank," says Dogfish Head Quality Control Manager Rebecca Newman.
Dogfish Head bottle-conditions three of its regular releases: Namaste, My Antonia and 75 Minute IPA.
Each of those beers goes into the bottle with little to no carbonation. Namaste and My Antonia go through suspended fermentation, meaning the yeast goes after the residual sugars in the beer. 75 Minute IPA, on the other hand, is primed.
"With the 75 minute," says Rebecca, "the sugar we use for bottle-conditioning is maple syrup, so it lends a really unique flavor dynamic that's different than all our other beers."
Although bottle-conditioning typically doesn't change alcohol content all that much, it can help a beer age gracefully. The live yeast suppresses oxidation and the breakdown of flavors, potentially adding years to shelf life.
There are two tell-tales to bottle-conditioned beers. One is a lively, champagne-like mouthfeel, and the other is a residue that often settles on the bottom of the bottle.
"A lot of people will pour off the brighter top part of the bottle and then swirl the dregs in and finish the pour," says Rebecca. "Personally, I like the brighter pour. I like what the yeast did, but I don't necessarily want to taste it. It just depends on what kind of flavor and mouthfeel you like."

College Hockey:Army Thunders Over Bentley
WEST POINT, N.Y. — Army broke out of its scoring slump and ended a six-game winless streak with a convincing 9-2 victory over Bentley in front of 1,143 fans at Tate Rink on Friday night.
The Black Knights opened things up early with a four-goal first and cruised the rest of the way. Senior Joe Carpenter scored twice in the third period, once on the power play, as eight different Black Knights scored a goal. A total of 15 players put their names on the scoresheet, with junior Nic Serre appearing most often. He had a goal and two assists.
Freshman goalie John Yaros made 34 saves for Army, one shy of his season high, as he improved to 3-4-1 in his rookie year.
Carpenter's first goal of the evening came with 15:45 left in the game and chased starting Bentley goalie Simon St. Pierre. Carpenter then one-timed a pass from Nathan Mayfield past reserve goaltender Bill Bridge while on the power play just seven minutes later. Freshman Tim Quinlan added a short-handed marker at 15:31 of the third to close out the scoring.
Chris Garceau, Serre, Jon Boyle and Chris MacLeod all scored in the first period for Army. The Black Knights had a 4-1 lead halfway through the first.
Tim Fisher and Derek Hines added goals in the second to extend the Black Knights lead to 6-1 after two.
These same two teams will go at it again Saturday night in Waltham, Mass. (7:30 p.m.).

I usually record for fairly long periods of time on Edison. Without warning and seemingly randomly I get the error "out of memory" at which point FL studio becomes unresponsive and I have to end the process. This seems to only occur when I'm using Edison. Usually for longer periods of time, but not always. (I have 12 gigs of ram.)
In performance monitor within FL studio I don't think I ever even exceeded 2 gigs. Now either FL studio is only making use of a limited amount of my memory, and therefore running out, or I'm not using that much. OR there's another issue.
I'm unsure if what I'm doing within FL actually utilizes that much memory or not. I've looked over the "improving performance" documentation that came with FL. I did change my power plan to "High performance" so I know there isn't any
CPU throttling. I am using ASIO4ALL sound driver.
I'm sure this HAS been answered before, but if by chance FL isn't making use of all of my available memory, what can I do to resolve this? Does giving the FL studio process in task manager "high priority" actually do ANYTHING?
I have A LOT going on in my projects, at times possibly too much BUT I don't think my performance should be affected the way it is sometimes.
I have 12 gigs of ram and a AMD quad core (not hyperthreded ) I'm on 64 bit Windows 7.

Bulgaria is in southeast Europe, where the climate is transitional between that of the Mediterranean and that of the plains of southern Russia.
To the east, it has a coastline on the Black Sea, on the north the River Danube forms the boundary with Romania, and on the southeast it is bordered by Turkey. The western borders with Serbia and Macedonia, and the southern border with Greece pass through mountainous country rising to 1,800-2,900 m/6,000-9,500 ft.
The largest areas of lowland are along the coast and in the valley of the River Maritsa in the centre of the country. Here the summers are warm and occasionally rather hot, while winters are fairly cold (see the tables for Varna and Plovdiv. Rainfall is moderate and well distributed throughout the year with a slight summer maximum.
On the coast (Varna) the winters are slightly warmer, but even here spells of bitterly cold weather can occur when winds blow from the northeast carrying cold air from Russia. During such cold spells the Danube and other rivers may freeze over. Hot spells in summer are associated with winds from both the northeast and the southeast.
During settled spells of weather in summer, conditions on the Black Sea coast may resemble those around the Mediterranean, and this area has developed some summer tourist resorts. Such fine, hot spells, however, may be interrupted by thunderstorms with hail and heavy rain. The total number of wet days is not large throughout the whole country but snow is frequent in winter and even occasionally in spring.
In the higher parts of the country (see the table for Sofia) winters are colder and the summers pleasant and fresh. Snow may lie until June on the highest mountains. There are opportunities for winter sports in the mountains.
Although the climate is generally temperate and pleasant, its variability throughout the year means that it may at times be uncomfortably cold in winter and rather warm and sultry in summer. Spring can be a very changeable season with rapid alternations between warm and cold days. Daily hours of sunshine range from about two in January to as much as ten in midsummer.
