The Leafs took advantage of a series of defensive miscues, a disallowed Ryan Smyth goal and an empty net late in the game to run up a 6-3 victory over the Edmonton Oilers.
Edmonton came out strong early, out-chancing the Maple Leafs in the first period and putting in a strong effort. Unfortunately, Toronto dominated the second, outscoring Edmonton 3-to-1, and a half-hearted comeback attempt in the third was easily turned aside.
Player Gradings
Here are the player grades for the Oilers, with 10 being a “perfect” game, 9 extraordinary, 8 great, 7 good, 6 above average, 5 average, 4 below average, 3 poor, 2 terrible and 1 deserving of almost instant demotion....

For years, the Call of Duty franchise has been the undisputed king of online multiplayer shooters. Over the course of several games, the series has refined the overall experience down to a near-perfect balance of skill and enjoyment. Unfortunately, the games have reached a point where they sacrifice change and innovation for stability, and Modern Warfare 3 suffers because of it.
The story mode picks up where Modern Warfare 2 left off. After the shocking events of the previous game, The United States is still embroiled in a bitter war with Russia, setting the scene for most of the missions. Over the course of the campaign, this conflict will take players across the globe, from the war-torn...

Did you happen to see director Ti Wests 2009 film, House of the Devil? If so, your enjoyment of Mr. Wests latest offering, The Innkeepers, will probably depend on whether you found HotDs conscientious pace and deliberate aesthetic intriguing or exasperating. Viewers who felt let down by the payoff of the former will probably have a similar experience with The Innkeepers. But genre enthusiasts who are looking for a creepy, old-fashioned horror tale that doesnt rely on CGI sleight of hand should find much to appreciate here.
The story, which unfolds over the course of a weekend, concerns a couple of staff members at an aging hotel that is in the process of going out of business. Claire...

PLATTSBURGH — State wildlife staffers are collecting comments from the public as they develop a management plan for New Yorks bobcat population.
The Department of Environmental Conservation has created a draft management plan that officials hope will help to maintain viable bobcat populations, provide sustainable use and enjoyment of the wild cat by the public and minimize negative bobcat-human interactions in areas where the creatures are prevalent.
HUNTING BOBCATS
The plan is really calling for an expansion of many areas where we would like to have a harvest of the species, said state wildlife biologist Paul Jensen of the Warrensburg DEC office.

Almost all commercial leases in the United States include a covenant of quiet enjoyment. At its simplest level, the protection afforded by the covenant to a tenant is straightforward: a landlord must not interfere with a tenants use and enjoyment of the leased premises. Tenants, however, have attempted to utilize the covenant in a more expansive way to make claims and obtain damages against landlords for various types of landlord behavior. The scope and nature of the landlords detrimental behavior are important factors in determining whether the tenant will have a potentially successful claim for the breach of the covenant of quiet enjoyment. But recent cases suggest that leases can be drafted...

Q: I have considered reallocating my monthly 401(k) contributions and buying a small condo in Florida. My 401(k) account is down to break-even (at best), and we are not getting any enjoyment from it. However, if we invested in a condo, we would at least get some enjoyment. Wouldnt such a purchase also be a form of diversification?
A: If you buy it as a vacation property, it would not be diversification. It would simply increase the portion of your assets and net worth devoted to real estate. Since we value home ownership so highly, all but the most wealthy people in America have the bulk of their net worth in personal real estate. Another limitation of this idea is that your Florida...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — A federal judge has postponed sentencing for ex-Ohio State and NFL quarterback Art Schlichter in a fraud case stemming from a million-dollar ticket-selling scheme.
US District Court Judge Michael Watson on Monday agreed to give Schlichter more time to have his mental health assessed after a follow-up appointment was canceled when Schlichter was arrested for alleged cocaine use.
The 52-year-old Schlichter has been held in jail after authorities said he violated the conditions of his bond last month by testing positive for cocaine use while free on house arrest.
Following his arrest, Schlichter requested he receive drug abuse counseling once hes sentenced.

In the course of a century we’ve gone from Dr. Albert C. Barnes, the cranky millionaire who would allow paintings from his exceptional collection to be reproduced only in black and white — he wanted viewers to understand that they weren’t looking at the real thing — to Charles Saatchi, the British megacollector who, by his own account, spends several hours a day looking at art online. The real has undergone a transformation in recent decades, however, and now you can experience art virtually and even attend the VIP Art Fair 2.0, the Internet’s first major art bazaar.
