Aaron Little released after Humboldt Street homicide bust: Did police jump the gun?
Update:Yesterday, when reporting about the bust of Aaron Little for second-degree homicide (see our previous coverage below), we noted the relative dearth of details about the incident, which took place on the 1500 block of Humboldt Street.
Now, we've got more information, and it's sure to raise more questions about the arrest. That's because Little has now been set free, with the Denver Police Department suggesting that the victim in the case may not have been a homicide victim after all.
As we noted, police responded to the scene at around 10:36 a.m. on Wednesday, where they found a dead man -- and shortly thereafter, Little was taken into custody.
In our previous item, we pointed out that the cause of death hadn't been shared, but "circumstances presumably argue against natural causes."

Check that. Late yesterday afternoon, the DPD issued a press release revealing that "after further investigation," Little had been released without charges.
"The exact cause of victim's death is pending the results of the Medical Examiners Report," the message continues. "At this time, it appears the victim died of natural causes."
Did authorities act prematurely in arresting Little -- a fact that was heavily publicized? No doubt that possibility will be at the center of any subsequent review. Here's our previous coverage.
Original post, 5:39 a.m. February 27: Sometimes after homicides, we're flooded with information about the circumstances of the case.
Other times, we're told little -- and that's literally the case in a death that occurred yesterday morning, since the person in police custody for the incident is named Aaron Little.
What happened? Here's what we know so far, in words and images.
At 10:36 a.m. yesterday, according to the Denver Police Department, officers received a call about a man down outside 1555 Humboldt Street, an area captured in the following Google Maps image:
The man in question was already dead when the cops arrived. And while the cause of death has not been shared at this point (the Denver coroner's office will make that revelation once the victim's family is contacted), circumstances presumably argue against natural causes.
That's because the death is being investigated as a homicide. And Little, age 25, was arrested for investigation of homicide in the second degree.
Here's a look at a photo from Little's Facebook page:
The most recent activity on the public part of the page took place on Monday, February 24, when Little changed his profile photo to this:
Our condolences to the victim's friends, family and loved ones. Here's a larger look at Little's mug shot.

Spoilers: for early Season 2.
A/N: Betaread by the brilliant fififolle.
Isn't it the beat of the heart that keeps you going? In the heat, blasted from all sides, being worn down in every way possible but no hardship can reach what matters.
He says she hasn't a heart anymore, hasn't a care but her own – not true. One of the few truths she carried with her is that she is Helen Cutter, his wife; time doesn't change that and, for her at least, it only strengthened the feeling. She thinks, as she walks away from him, that he has to see that eventually, now he knows she's alive - what stands between them is merely a sense of confusion, pride hurt by this paradigm shift in his world view. He thinks she's changed, naturally he's right if only by chance but have they changed in their cores for it to be so crazy an idea for him to take her back? The world changes too, the world spins but it doesn't tend to end just because and she won't accept they're done and dusted, because, after all, she is not.

Hypothetical Situation: A new member joins the huddle claiming to be an extremely hot female fan who is upset about this season. In the Panthers main forum , she proclaims that every game the Panthers win she will in turn remove an article of clothing and post pictures and videos of the event which will in time include full frontal nudity. As a mod, what do you do? You have to let her proceed without restriction for 2 reasons. 1. You absolutely need to know if she is truly hot or just claiming to be hot. 2. She hasn't violated any rules until she does post nudity, and based on our beloved Panthers showing this year, we'd be lucky to see her in as little as a sweat shirt and jogging britches.

Seattle, March 17, 2015 —The news here is really no news for the pricing of the 2016 GT-R as Nissan has kept the same pricing structure as last year and have brought about a few enhancements to boot. These cars are now for sale at select dealers around the USA.
Its "Gold Edition" sports a special "Silica Brass" paint job color, a unique VIN plate inside the engine compartment as well as a commemorative plaque on the center console inside the vehicle.
GT-R Premium and Black Edition models are now at 500 horsepower thanks to some tweaking of the car's electronics, however, the NISMO version is unchanged at 600 horsepower.
New for the Premium model are Nissan's 20-spoke RAYS aluminum-alloy forged wheels with premium dark finish that replaces the 10-spoke design of former years. Nissan slapped on nitrogen-filled Dunlop Sport Maxx GF 600 DSST CTT ultra high performance run-flat tires to handle the jaw-ripping performance of these cars. The tires are sized at 55/40ZRF20 for the front and 285/35ZRF20 on the rear.

I feel compelled to respond to your comment. In doing so, I hope to better illustrate why I was concerned about the article in the first place.
Sorry, but your post is typical - in lack of hard facts, you attack him because of his CV. Very lame, dude!
A CV is a record of someone's education and experience. The author's CV is probably the hardest set of facts I could use to evaluate his familiarity with the subject matter of his article. There was little evidence on his CV that he had much education in, experience with, or involvement with PHP; therefore, I called his credentials into question.
Then next you go after perl - "see, the dinosaurs are extinct, too, so we can just die as well!".
I used Perl because 1) it is the primary language that the author has experience with and 2) as an example of another popular language used to develop Web applications that suffer from the same security vulnerabilities that similar Web applications programmed in PHP suffer from -- but which does not get nearly as much publicity for those vulnerabilities as PHP applications do.
And the author did pretty much state your opinion in his article, too: "PHP proponents tend to take a 'blame the user' approach that is reasonable in some ways, but fails to recognize some of the inherent issues with PHP itself" - there you go, fits you dead on.
This was not the primary point of my comment. My point was that the author used a quote from 2002 and failed to consider the last four years of PHP development before drawing a damning conclusion from that quote. I provided a quote from the PHP 6 planning process in 2005 that demonstrates that the PHP developers actually have recognized some of the inherent issues with the language and that they plan on doing something about it.
comments skipped, in the interest of being "polite, respectful, and informative" as LWN requuests.
Still, the typical Perl CGI has fewer security issues compared to a typical PHP script out there, so who is the "glass programming language".
Can you point to some "hard facts" that prove your assertion, please?
In the end, I feel that this article was not up to LWN's normal journalistic standards. Stefan Esser's departure from the PHP development team would have been a good opportunity to discuss not only the (to me, at least) interesting and passionate personalities that form the core PHP development team, but also serve as a good jumping-off point to investigate the state of PHP security as it stands in the 5.2.x (current stable) and 6 (development) branches of the PHP language. There is an interesting debate going on right now on the PHP internals mailing list about the possible addition of taint support and its potential roles in PHP security, as well as the relation to the ext/filter support that was added in the PHP 5.2.0 release, and some insights from Rasmus into how Yahoo! plans to use a strict global filter for PHP applications. All of this information is publically available from the archives of the PHP internals mailing list.
The kind of article I have come to expect from LWN would have delved into the current and future state of PHP security, rather than relying on a more than four-year old quote as the sole insight into the state of mind of the PHP development team. I do hope that the author will consider this feedback in his future articles; I'm willing to entertain the possibility that this article was just a one-time lapse of taking the easy way out with a deadline leading up to the holidays.
Author's credentials: not enough knowledge about PHP's development?
Posted Dec 27, 2006 20:26 UTC (Wed) by jake (editor, #205) [Link]> There was little evidence on his CV that he had much education in, experience with, or involvement with PHP; therefore, I called his credentials into question.
I guess it isn't clear to me how much experience is required to comment on and have an opinion about PHP security. That being said, you may also wish to consider that 20+ years of developing software in any language is probably enough experience to rapidly understand a new one. I believe my knowledge of PHP is quite broad, but in the end, I don't think it matters to *report* on the language. There are tons of technical journalists who have a great deal less (or no) development experience than I do, but, at least in my opinion, that doesn't mean they cannot report on things and have opinions about them.
Your main problem with the article (other than getting your hackles up because you perceived an attack on PHP) seems to be my use of the 2002 interview. I did think about whether or not to use it. In the end, it seemed so completely mind-boggling to me that the creator of PHP could not see the issues with both register_globals and magic_quotes after *years* of exploits. I am quite glad to hear that he has changed his mind, but it was and is amazing that after mountains of evidence to the contrary, Rasmus still thought those were good features. I thought readers would find this interesting as well.
> I do hope that the author will consider this feedback in his future articles;
I read all the comments on my articles and will definitely consider what you have said. I don't think you make much in the way of substantive complaints about the article; you just wish it had been a different topic (i.e. future PHP security plans). That topic does sound like a good one, perhaps you should contact Jon and see if he is interested in having you write it. If not, I will certainly consider it for a topic down the road.
Thanks for the response
Posted Dec 28, 2006 3:51 UTC (Thu) by denials (subscriber, #3413) [Link]
Thanks for the response, Jake. I can understand that you feel defensive about my comments; I comment because I care about LWN. I suspect that this is just a misstep for you and LWN; but that being said, I'll try to explain why I'm so concerned about what I'm concerned about.
I agree that twenty years of software development can help you get up to speed quickly with a new language's syntax. Understanding a language's syntax, though, does not replace the kind of research that technology journalists do to understand their subject matter before they present their opinions to a trusting audience. In this case, the subject matter is "PHP security", and you've nailed some of the historical design decisions that led to vulnerabilities. However, it is my opinion that you failed to accurately represent the state of PHP security.
My main problem with your article was not that you used an interview from 2002, but that you paraphrased Rasmus's quote from that ancient (by the world of technology measures) interview in an article called The state of PHP security without mentioning that the quote was from 2002. One suspects that most readers would be led into thinking that this statement represents the current state of PHP security:
It is an extremely dubious feature, but one that PHP creator, Rasmus Lerdorf, seems to think should have been left on by default.
I agree that this was an interesting statement, but in the interests of fairness (particularly because you noted how "amazing" the statement was) you should have, at the very least, used the past tense and explicitly noted that the statement was from 2002. And it would have been both appropriate (for on online publication called the Linux Weekly News) and interesting to find out if Rasmus's thoughts on the matter might have changed in the last four or five years -- perhaps even get him to revisit his 2002 quote in that interview. This would have been a reasonable and decent thing to do. As the author of an article that attributed a "mind-boggling" position to Rasmus, you should not have had to hear it from me that he has since changed his mind. It was your duty to your readers to find that out and tell it to them.
You suggested that what I wanted was a different article. Again, I will agree: I wanted a better article, one that fulfilled the promise of the title by reflecting the state of PHP security. To do that, I suggest that you have to consider:
I have no hackles to raise about attacks on PHP in particular. I have developed and maintained applications in C, Java, Perl, PHP, and Python, and have written articles and/or chapters of books about all of these languages, and have spoken at conferences about Perl, PHP, and Python. I'm not a one-trick PHP pony. Having a foot in all those worlds, I will admit that it gets tiresome watching PHP get slagged without substantiating claims simply because it's accepted practice in the unwritten hierarchy of programming languages, and your article did emit a whiff of that attitude. But I primarily care about fairness, balance, and the standards that LWN has set by example in the past. If I was forced to place this article on a journalist quality continuum between "slanderous fiction" on the one side and "shining model of balance and insight" on the other side, I would have to agree that I felt that this article fell more on the negative side of the continuum ("an attack on PHP" as you say) due to the failure to clearly state the date of Rasmus' statement, the failure to follow up with Rasmus or the PHP development team, and the general omission of significant developments in PHP security (whether by design or by lack of research).
I've been an LWN subscriber since 2003 because LWN has an excellent record of hitting the positive side of that journalistic quality continuum. As I said in a previous comment, I'm sure that the quality of this article was just a downward blip due to holiday schedule pressures.
Thanks for the response
Posted Dec 28, 2006 5:37 UTC (Thu) by jake (editor, #205) [Link]Upon further reflection, the title, which I did suggest, is not an accurate representation of the contents.
PHP 5.2 and 6 are all well and good and I applaud the PHP team for whatever strides they have made security-wise. As I said, it would probably make a nice article. Unfortunately, many apps and hosting sites still only support earlier versions of PHP, some dating from 2002, perhaps. This is, of course, not the fault of the PHP team, but it might have been avoided by taking some of the steps you describe a bit earlier in the development of the language.
I get tired as well of reading SQL injection, XSS, remote file include and other vulnerabilities in PHP apps, in many cases written by people who are trying to get it right. Perhaps my weariness with all of that crept into the article more than it should have.
I appreciate your comments, thanks ...
Thanks for the response
Posted Jan 4, 2007 9:40 UTC (Thu) by appie (guest, #34002) [Link]With regard to SQL injections, if you don't use an abstraction layer and are using postgresql (applause! :-) be sure to use:
And remember to revisit the excellent (!) online PHP manual plus comments every now and then to check for new and improved features.

Tamora and Kat Mitchell are the twin daughters of Paige Matthews, a Charmed One, and Henry Mitchell, a mortal. Henry Jr. is their adopted younger brother.
Tam and Kat's conception was unexpected and they were born sometime in mid-2007. Not being one for traditions, Paige decided to not carry on the Halliwell tradition of giving children names that begin with "P". She and Henry chose these names out of their liking of them.
Coming into their Powers
Tam and Kat came into their powers at the same time in 2008. Tamora possesses the power of Molecular Acceleration and Kat has Molecular Deceleration, though they will eventually grow into the full usage of both powers.
After Tam accidentally set the house on fire, Henry strongly believed that the twins' powers should be bound, though Paige was against it as she believed it went against the laws of nature. Henry, though understanding how important magic is to Paige and the family, is adamant that magic is not all his daughters are and Paige reluctantly binds Tam's magic until she can grow old enough to learn how to control it. It was later implied by Bailey, a Magic School faculty member, that Kat's powers were also bound.
Powers and Abilities
- Basic Powers
- Spell Casting: The ability to cast spells and perform rituals.
- Potion Making: The ability to brew potions.
- Scrying: The ability to locate a person or object by the use of a scrying crystal, a map, and sometimes other tools.
- Mediumship: The ability to see and commune with spirits of the dead.
- Tamora's Active Powers
- Molecular Acceleration: The ability to speed up molecules causing them to heat up and catch fire. Tamora's power isn't yet potent enough to cause an explosion like her Aunt Piper can, because she is still a baby. Paige decides to bind Tamora's power until she is old enough to control it.
- Kat's Active Powers
- Molecular Deceleration: The ability to slow molecules down to a point that makes things appear to move in slow-motion. Because Kat is still a baby, her powers are not yet strong enough to completely freeze things like her Aunt Piper. It was revealed by Bailey that Kat's powers were also bound.
- Other Powers
- High Resistance: The ability to be highly resistant to magical and physical attacks and survive otherwise lethal attacks
Notes and Trivia
- Paul Ruditis tweeted that (out of The Charmed Ones' daughters) Melinda is the oldest, Prue (Phoebe's Daughter) was the youngest making the twins older than Prue, although Prue came into her powers faster.
- Tamora and Kat may be the first twins in the family line.
- In the novel "The Warren Witches", one of Paige's daughters is called Pandora, and Pandora's daughter is called Posie. It is implied that Posie's magic was bound as a child, or that she was raised in a home where magic was not abundantly used. The canonocity of this has obviously been negated.
- Of the nine cousins, they are the fourth and fifth oldest.
- Strangely enough, the twins in their first comic appearance have red hair, but both of their parents have dark brown hair. However, Charlotte Warren, Allen Halliwell, and Penny Halliwell all had red hair, which would explain why the twins have red hair as well. But it is presumed that Penny's hair at the time was temporary since in another episode that is shown that around that time, she has a different hair colour.
- Their hair was colored red before being changed to brown in the fifth issue of the Charmed Comics, as Paige's hair in the comics is red as well. This decision was made so that the children were more recognizable as being Paige's.
- In "Oh, Henry", the twins have brown curly hair, and their hair has been colored brown ever since.
- It is unknown who was born first although it is likely that Tam was seeing as how her power is stronger than Kat's and in a set of Witch siblings, the oldest is always the strongest.
- In "Morality Bites Back", it is unknown if it is Tamora or Kat in the Comic.
- Paul Rudits on his name choice: I never considered Paige a traditionalist who would name all her children after people in her life or carry on the history of the "P" names. Particularly since she didn't grow up with that tradition. I spent a lot of time trying to get into her head about this decision and came up with two names I think she and Henry might choose.
- In "Oh, Henry", Henry says, "Yes that was before our two wonderful though unexpected bundles of joy" which means that Paige's pregnancy was a surprise.
Tamora and Kat Mitchell have appeared in 1 episode of the series and 12 issues throughout the course of the comic series.
- Season 8
- Forever Charmed
- Season 9
- No Rest for the Wicca
- Unnatural Resources
- Morality Bites Back
- Oh, Henry
- Last Witch Effort
- Where There's Smoke There's a Firestarter
- Family Shatters

I personally love this coffee maker. I had 2 Tasimo's in the past but they don't compare! The coffee is always fresh, the water doesn't sit in the machine, you pour water in every time you want a cup, 6oz, 8oz or 10 oz cups, you get to choose. I love all the colours that it comes in, I got Lime, it looks very retro its awesome. I find the coffee better as well than Tosimo's. They go for about $99 , comes in more than 12 colours. Basic black and silver , then from plum to voilet, yellow, green, any and every color.
First cup. Fourth cup - with Keurig®, it's always a fresh cup. The MINI Plus Brewing System brews a perfect cup of coffee, tea, hot cocoa or iced beverage in under two minutes at the touch of a button. With the choice of three cup sizes, the MINI Plus brewer offers a removable drip tray to accommodate short travel mugs

Well, better late than never. Had two job interviews with a two television stations here in town and then had to take the computer to the shop. Things are back to normal, so here's this week's edition of The Week In Baseball
Let Manny be Manny - If there was any doubt about Boston left fielder Manny Ramirez's talent, those doubts were put to rest at Camden Yards last week against the Orioles.
Known for his antics, Ramirez showed his value to Red Sox Nation with a catch and throw against their AL East foes in the fourth inning.
With two on and one down, Ramirez's former teammate, Kevin Millar, slammed a ball to left-center that appeared destined to carry over Ramirez's head. On a full sprint and fully extended, Ramirez chased it down just before he hit the warning track for the second out.
"I thought I was not going to have any chance to throw the guy out at first, but I did it anyway," Ramirez said to reporters after the game. "I just got a bad jump, but I never give up. I go there and I caught it."
What happened next made it even more special. It also made ESPN's SportsCenter's Top Ten plays the next day.
Ramirez ran as hard as he could, would up at the seven foot wall in left field. He then proceeded to pull himself up the wall, made the catch off former Red Sox Kevin Millar, high-fived a fan -- one wearing a Red Sox T-shirt, no less -- before turning around, making a throw that would have made Willie Mays proud, hitting his cut-off man, Dustin Pedroia, who doubled off Aubrey Huff at first.
Pretty as a Red Penny - Ken Griffey Jr. owed Cincinnati Reds teammate Josh Fogg $1,500, and paying by check just wouldn't do. The All Star outfielder and future Hall of Famer went one better. Rather than paper money, he decided to pay the debt back in pennies. 150,000, to be exact.
Fogg, who has been replaced in the Reds rotation recently, arrived in the Reds clubhouse Wednesday and found his locker filled with 150,000 pennies — 60 boxes, each weighing 16 pounds and containing $25 worth of pennies.
Neither player would say why Griffey owed Fogg the money and Griffey had threatened to pay it off in pennies, but Fogg didn't believe him.
"I'm going to take them out to the bullpen and count them," Fogg said. "I've got a lot of time on my hands out there."
Owners approve drug policy - In a move that may very well save baseball from itself, Major League Baseball's 30 owners unanimously voted on Thursday to approve revisions to the current drug policy. The executive council had already ratified the changes during its meeting on Wednesday.
Commissioner Bud Selig said that he expected the owners to all be in agreement when the revisions were collectively bargained with the Players Association last month.
"No question," Selig said. "I don't think I've had a call on this from any club. Even if there isn't any controversy, people will call me with questions, but there haven't been any. Everybody was very pleased. Senator Mitchell's recommendations have all been accepted. This was a good day. We finished up what we started."
The union is in the process of polling the players by ballot as part of its ratification process.
The vote comes at a time when two of the sport's biggest stars during the so-called steroid era -- Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens -- are under pressure from the federal government about their alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs.
Last Tuesday, the federal attorney's office in San Francisco unsealed its latest indictment of Bonds, which includes 14 counts of perjury and one of obstruction of justice against MLB's all-time leader with 762 homers. Clemens, who ended last year with 354 wins and is second on the all-time list with 4,672 strikeouts, is being investigated by the FBI and IRS for possibly lying under oath to a Congressional committee at a hearing on February 13.
"I think we've done what we set out to do," Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane, the chairman and chief executive of the Astros, who employed Clemens from 2004 to 2006 and has a personal services contract with the right-hander, said it was high time that baseball move forward beyond the steroids controversy.
Maple bats breaking like twigs? - It seems that they aren't making bats like they used to. In fact, they're shattering like fine China.
Commissioner Bud Selig and the 30 Major League Baseball owners have turned their sights to the recurring problem of shattering maple bats, which have replaced many of the ash models at the Major League level.
Personally, I think the maple bats are a joke. Even a five-year old girl could break one of those bats. They're nice to look at but they break faster than a teenage girl's heart.
Selig says that the possibility of injury by splintered maple is a major concern and was brought to his attention by Rob Manfred, Major League Baseball's executive vice president of labor relations and human resources.
Buy me some peanuts and chardonnay? - If you are a baseball fan and like wine, then Longball Cellars has a wine for you. Beginning last Monday, you'll be able to buy the latest in vino-tchotchke from Kroger, Wal-Mart and numerous other wine outlets. For $13 a bottle, you can wash down your peanuts, popcorn and Cracker Jacks with Cabernet Glavingnon, Chipper Chardonnay and McCann Merlot.
Braves lefty Tom Glavine, third baseman Chipper Jones and catcher Brian McCann and other Major League Baseball players have lent their names and images to a line of wines made by California's Clos LaChance Winery & Estate Vineyard.
The project is a part of a larger charity effort that involves more than 30 professional athletes, including Boston Red Sox slugger Manny Ramirez (Manny Being Merlot), Chicago Cubs legend Ernie Banks (Ernie Banks 512 Chardonnay - let's drink two!) and former Miami Dolphins quarterback Dan Marino (Marino Estates, Vintage 13).
Proceeds from the wine sales go to local charities and the Major League Baseball Players Trust.

Magowan steps down at end of season - Citing stress and constant pressure, Giants managing general partner and president Peter Magowan announced his retirement at the end of the season at a news conference at AT&T Park last Friday.
Magowan's imminent departure bears significance, because he's just the ninth principal owner since the franchise's inception in 1883 -- reflecting remarkable stability. He is credited for bringing Barry Bonds to the Giants from Pittsburgh and getting AT&T Park built on San Francisco's China Basin, ending threats to move the club. He also ruled over an eight-year run of success (1997-2004) that was unmatched since the franchise moved to San Francisco in 1958. The Giants reached the postseason four times in that stretch and reached a Wild Card playoff game once while averaging 92 victories per year.
More recently, however, Magowan has weathered considerable criticism, creating stress that is believed to be a primary reason for his stepping down.
He came under the glare of unwanted attention when the Mitchell Report, which examined the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball, declared that he and Sabean did not sufficiently follow through on suspicions of Bonds' alleged steroid use. He does have an ally in commissioner Bud Selig, who said that management officials implicated in the Mitchell Report may escape fines and suspensions if they were to do community service.
In the public eye, Magowan also seemingly could do nothing right, regarding Bonds. Giants management came under fire for its perceived coddling of the superstar left fielder, yet many fans were outraged when the club announced last September that it would not re-sign Bonds, ending his 15-year tenure with the team.
Steinbrenner: Play like Tampa Bay - New York Yankees head man Hank Steinbrenner is taking a play from the Tampa Bay Devil Rays playbook. He wanted the pinstripers to play like their opponents. Steinbrenner made the comments last week as the first-place Devil Rays took three of four against their Eastern Division rivals in St. Petersburg.
That school of thought clearly wasn't lost on Yankees co-chairman Steinbrenner, who said the Bombers might benefit from catching some of the Rays' enthusiasm.
"[The Yankees have] got to start playing the way the Rays are playing," Steinbrenner said following the Yankees' loss Tuesday. "[The Yankees] need to start treating it like when they were younger players and going after that big contract, like they're in [Triple-A] and trying to make the Majors. That's the kind of attitude and fire the players have to have."
When told of the comments, rookie Evan Longoria -- clearly one of the young "fiery" players Steinbrenner was referring to -- said the Rays are simply putting the pieces together.
Is the old boy being nice… or is there another motive in Yankees Nation? Only the shadow knows.
Figueroa's no cheerleader - The turmoil in the New York Mets clubhouse is getting bigger by the moment and may be more exciting than a soap opera. Nelson Figueroa was not a happy camper with his performance against the last place Washington Nationals at Shea Stadium last week. Add to that the fact that he got bent out of shape because the last place Nationals were cheering and clapping in their dugout.
Wait, let me understand this. This is a guy on a team that hoops and hops around like rabbits on Viagra calling the kettle black? Remember all those obnoxious high fives you gave each other last season? Take the plank out of your own eye!
He was miffed by his own inability to cope with the Nationals' low-octane offense and by the behavior of their dugout. The Nationals were chanting during the top of third inning as they rallied to tie the score at 2.
The Nationals were trying to get their offense going and later said the game of chants was not directed at Figueroa but intended to help their stagnant offense. Figueroa neither heard it nor saw it that way.
"They were cheering in the dugout like a bunch of softball girls," he said. "I am a professional, I take great offense to that. ... They won tonight but in the long run, look who they are, a last-place team. ... They should show a little more class and act a little more professional." And then the kicker: "That's why they are who they are." Oh really… did they have a meltdown in the 2007 season, Nelson? No. Methinks it was your team.
"We were doing it because we've been hitting lousy," Nationals batting coach Lenny Harris said. "It wasn't about him."
Other Mets were aware of the chanting, but none was so insulted as Figueroa.
You're upset because you're losing. You still haven't gotten over the meltdown you had the last few weeks of the 2007 season. Fine. Just get your OWN house in order before a bunch of guys from down South pass you. And I'm not talking about the ones with gills.
And if I were a softball girl… I would be offended!
Professor Selig - You can call him Dr. Selig. Commissioner Bud Selig spoke to the graduating class of Bethany College in West Virginia. Selig addressed a class of 163 students at the school about 50 miles away from Pittsburgh at the invitation of Pittsburgh Pirates chairman of the board Bob Nutting.
The commissioners speech lasted about 25 minutes and told the graduates, "May you live in interesting times," quoting an old Chinese proverb.
Selig was also bestowed with an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by Scott Miller, the president of the liberal arts college, which is home to 780 students on this sprawling, tree-lined hillside campus of 1,300 acres about a 20-minute drive south from Wheeling, W.V.
Big Unit Reaches 288th win - No longer armed with an intimidating fastball and crackling slider, Randy Johnson found a new way to win.
Mixing a sinker and split-finger fastball into his repertoire, Randy Johnson (The Big Unit) pitched seven scoreless innings for his 288th career victory, and the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Detroit Tigers 4-2 last Sunday at Chase Field.
The 44-year-old Johnson (4-1) climbed into a tie with Tommy John for 24th on the all-time victory list.
Johnson went a season-long seven innings to win his fourth straight decision, allowing six hits and a walk and striking out five. Melvin lifted his lefty after 98 pitches.
"It's just getting into a flow and getting the rhythm and throwing the ball where he wants to," Melvin said. "If he does that, then a lot of times he's going to have results like he did today."
Johnson would later retire 12 of the last 13 men he faced for the win.
Heads roll at US Cellular - The Chicago White Sox restructured their Latin American operations last weekend, firing director of player personnel David Wilder on Friday along with two other scouts in the club's Latin American operation. After a two month investigation by MLB's Department of Investigations, Victor Mateo and Domingo Toribio were also terminated, according to the team and USA Today. Wilder was the supervisor or Chicago's Latin American operations since Fall 2004. Toribio was a part time scout for the ball club.
"It's very disappointing. This is a tough day," general manager Kenny Williams said Friday in San Francisco, where the White Sox swept a three-game inter-league series against the Giants. "It's (the actions) not consistent with (owner) Jerry Reinsdorf, myself or what the White Sox organization stands for."
Findings from baseball's investigation have been turned over to federal authorities. The club stated said the three were dismissed "for actions in Latin America that were violations of club policy and standards" but did not elaborate.
Williams said he could not comment further on what wrongdoing led to the firings.
"This is an investigation we brought to Major League Baseball as part of our reorganization in the Dominican Republic," Williams said. "We now have a new facility, complete with state-of-the art equipment and facilities. We're trying to achieve greater results down there. We wanted to be sure our operations were consistent with what we stand for. Obviously, they were not in this investigation and we've made some changes accordingly.
"As to the what and the why, I'm not at liberty to expound on that." More heads may roll on the South Side of Chicago.
Is this heaven? No, it's Grand Prairie (Apologies to Kevin Costner) - Are you looking for a free funeral? Then the Grand Prairie AirHogs baseball team would like to talk to you. The American Association of Independent Professional Baseball team is trying to find ways to gain fans -- both now and for eternity.
If you go to the June 3 game, the AirHogs, whose franchise is located in Texas, will host "All Hogs Go To Heaven" night, where one fan will win a funeral, complete with a casket, headstone, services and a plot.
The team is encouraging fans to wear black to the game.
The team will also hold funeral-related contests during the game, including pallbearer races and MadLibs eulogy deliveries.
Included on the team's list of other game promotions is "Jessica Simpson Night," when the Texas team will try to show that not all Dallas Cowboys fans are upset at her after the singer's presence at a game last season distracted quarterback Tony Romo. No word if Romo will throw out the first pitch.

Faroe Petroleum has awarded three new Licensing Options (LO 14/1, 14/2 and 14/3) by the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources in the Celtic Sea, Republic of Ireland.
The two-year Licensing Options are located on the southern margin of the North Celtic Sea basin, in relatively shallow water depths of between 80 and 110 metres, which together cover an area of 3,458km2 and are all situated within 75km of the south coast of Ireland.
The Licensing Options are targeting the under-explored Triassic Play, comprising Sherwood Sandstone reservoir juxtaposed against Lower Jurassic oil prone source rocks. The age and configuration of source and reservoir bear many similarities to the Wytch Farm oil field, onshore UK. Initial interpretation of existing 2D seismic data has revealed the presence of a number of large structural traps within the Licensing Options areas.

All goals, Full Match, Full Highlights, Highlights Extended, score and goals: Bayern Munich 1-0 Atletico Madrid – Highlights & Full Match (Champions League)
Last season's runners-up miss out on the chance to end the group stage with a perfect record as Carlo Ancelotti's side win at home again
Bayern Munich extended their winning home streak in the Champions League after a 1-0 victory denied Atletico Madrid a 100 per cent record in Group D.
Robert Lewandowski dispatched a superb free-kick on 28 minutes to settle the game as Bayern made it 15 wins in a row in the competition at the Allianz Arena, but they go through to the last 16 as runners-up behind Atletico.
Bayern, who exited the 2015-16 competition at the hands of Diego Simeone's team in the semi-finals in April, were forced to settle for second spot and a potentially difficult assignment in the first knockout round, as the Bundesliga title holders continue their search for consistency under Carlo Ancelotti.
Their performance here will at least be of some comfort to the Italian, who watched his players control the contest, albeit against a visiting team likely to have placed more importance on a trip to Villarreal on Monday, as they seek to make up ground on Sevilla, Barcelona and leaders Madrid in LaLiga.
For Bayern, attention will now turn to the visit of Wolfsburg this weekend, with the indignity of trailing surprise league leaders RB Leipzig weighing heavily on German football's dominant force.
Atleti went close twice in the opening 15 minutes, Yannick Carrasco seeing shots well saved by Manuel Neuer after being set up by Antoine Griezmann and Lucas Hernandez respectively.
Douglas Costa issued the hosts' first real warning shot when he called Jan Oblak into action at the goalkeeper's near post following good work from Renato Sanches.
Oblak could do nothing, though, to prevent Bayern taking the lead in the 28th minute, Lewandowski curling home a delightful free-kick after Carrasco clipped the heels of Juan Bernat.
Bayern made all the running after the break, with Stefan Savic called upon to dispossess the goalscorer in a dangerous area soon after the restart, before Arjen Robben had a penalty appeal against the Montenegro defender waved away approaching the hour mark.
Thiago should have scored with 13 minutes to go, somehow contriving to steer his effort over the bar from point-blank range and with the goal gaping after Douglas Costa had reached the byline and cut the ball back.
Ultimately Bayern were not made to regret that miss, with Atleti mustering little threat of note in the closing stages.

In October, comScore reported that Google is 66.9% of all searches directed in the United States. In September, Google was at 66.7%. Their previous high was 66.%. Over 17.6 billion explicit core searches were conducted in October, which was up by 8% from the previous month. Most search engines were not as impressive and had decreased numbers from a year ago. ComScore measured only desktop searches, so the numbers did not include mobile searches.
Microsoft's Bing also reached an all-time high at 16%, which is not that great for a search engine that challenged Google in a blind search challenge. They had about a fifth of Google searches for the month of October with 2.8 billion searches. However, Bing has been growing as well. In September, they were at 15%. That 0.1 increase probably came from their Google Challenge campaign. Bing's search share was at 14.8% in October.
Google-powered organic searches increased to 69.5%in October which is up from 69.4% in September, while Bing-powered searches decreased to 25% in October, according to a report by comScore.
Around this time last year, Yahoo was 15.2% of searches. Yahoo's organic searches are powered by Bing and it has not helped them because they have either been constant at 12.2% or declined from that number. Ask was 3.2% of search in October, which was also down from the previous month. AOL remained constant at 1.8%.
Google's "explicit core" searches increased by almost a billion searches from September to October from 16.3 billion to 17.6 billion. Bing came as the runner-up with 2.8 billion searches and Yahoo came in third with 2.1 billion searches.
Although Google is continuing their dominance in the search market spectrum, they are currently in a battle with the FTC over anti-trust laws. The FTC is challenging Google on their "search manipulation." They are basically trying to discover if Google is manipulating search rankings in a way that their own sites will push down the rankings of competitors.
"Search is the essence of Google's monopoly," said Gary Reback, an antitrust lawyer in Menlo Park, California, who represents companies that have complained about Google's practices. "If the FTC is just going to walk away from it, it's giving Google a free pass to push down rivals."
In 2000, Google became the first search engine to consistently dominate the search engine market. They used their own algorithm while competitors like Yahoo used a third party source for their results. To this day, Yahoo uses Bing for their natural results and the two search engines can't combine their years of search experience to match Google's. It will be a while before we can think about these numbers evening out.

Target: California Legislators
Goal: To end the sale of animals in flea markets and swap meets
California flea markets and swap meets are not an ideal place to adopt a pet. Unfortunately, it is common to see puppies, kittens, reptiles and birds for sale in the horrible conditions of these facilities. The selling of these animals in unsanitary conditions will only continue if we don't act to stop it.
The animals are often left in horrible conditions for several days. They are shoved in small, crowded cages and are left outside in extreme temperatures and weather conditions. They can go hours without being cared for, which can inevitably lead to severe health problems.
Not only are the animals mistreated, many of them are also exotic and smuggled into the country. The birds that are for sale at the flea markets can often carry parasites and diseases which can spread to the other animals. An impulsive purchase of a pet at a flea market could turn into a very costly problem.
The animals for sale at these markets are often in need of medical care. People continue to buy them not knowing of their existing medical problems, which is misleading and cruel to the animal. Sign the petition below to ask California legislators to ban the selling of these animals.
Dear California Legislators,
A flea market is not a typical place where you would think to buy a pet. The outdoor conditions can often be uncomfortable for the patrons, let alone the animals that are stuck in the cages. The puppies, kittens, birds and reptiles that are for sale are often in need of medical attention before they can be adopted. Your state needs to outlaw these sales and prevent people from profiting off of sick animals.
The exotic birds that are sold in these markets are often smuggled into our country. This means they could be covered in diseases that will be infected onto our people and animals. The people who are purchasing these animals will be oblivious to the potential problems that buying a flea market pet can create.
A flea market is an inappropriate place to sell animals. Not only does it create impulse buying of living animals, but the conditions the animals are left in are inhumane. We are asking you to please ban the sale of animals in these markets.

My boyfriend asked me what I wanted for my upcoming 25th birthday yesterday, and I had
no idea a million ideas to share with him. Anyone in my family will tell you it's not too hard to shop for me- I'm never shy about sharing what material good my heart is lusting over. Lately, my eye has been spying the handbag department of Neiman Marcus and just taking a spin through it makes my knees weak. In reality, I most certainly don't have 2 grand lying around to splurge on a sexy handbag. But, if I get all my loved ones gathered and explain that they can all go in on a leather tote with a designer label, I just might have a new bag. Granted that bag will also be my Christmas, Valentine's Day AND Easter present... but you get the picture. Here are a few bags (on the arms of stylish bloggers) that have me swooning...
Bradley of Luella & June carrying a Celine shopper tote. Absolutely classic.
Kat, from With Love From, Kat sporting her YSL tote at NYFW. I love the gold detailing.
And a few great looks from The Blonde Salad. That Prada is super yum.
Top Row: Fendi Peekabo Satchel tote/YSL tote
Middle Row: Prada Saffiano tote/Valentino Rockstud Tote
Bottom Row: Chloe Marcie Tote/Lanvin Miss Sartorial Bag
Help me decide- which one is your fave?!

Monroe helps Pistons beat skidding HornetsFeb 5, 2012 - 3:43 AM Auburn Hills, MI (Sports Network) - Greg Monroe led the way with 24 points and 16 rebounds as the Pistons defeated the Hornets, 89-87, at the Palace of Auburn Hills on Saturday.
Detroit had five scorers in double figures including 17 points from Rodney Stuckey and 11 each from Tayshaun Prince and Jonas Jerebko. The Pistons have now won two straight after dropping seven in a row.
Trevor Ariza paced the Hornets attack with 26 points and Greivis Vasquez added 14 points and nine assists as the Hornets dropped their sixth straight road game. New Orleans has now lost 14 of its last 15 contests.
Detroit looked as though it would pull away in the fourth, ripping off 10 straight points to take a 75-65 lead, but Vasquez came up with seven straight for the Hornets to pull them back within three, 75-72, with 5:49 left in the game. Al-Farouq Aminu's two free throws made it a one-point margin.
However, the Pistons had one more run left in them as an 8-2 push, capped by Stuckey's jumper gave them an 83-76 lead with under two minutes to go in the contest.
Jason Maxiell's put-back dunk with under a minute to go gave the Pistons an 85-80 lead. The Hornets would get two good looks from deep, but they were off the mark, and the Pistons secured the second rebound.
Monroe calmly stepped to the line and knocked down both free throws to put the game on ice for the Pistons.
The first quarter ended with a Jerebko layup to give Detroit a 25-23 lead.
Monroe scored the Pistons' final eight points of the second quarter but Ariza's 17 first half points were too much as the Hornets took a 44-41 lead into intermission.
A Walker Russell jumper with one second on the clock made the score 65-61 as Detroit took a four-point advantage into the final stanza.
