Updated constructor calls, created Criteria

one thing about the dates: it'll work fine this way, but intellij told me that particular constructor for Date is deprecated (which I learned just now means basically it's outdated and the programmer is encouraged to use an alternative). that doesn't mean this doesn't work, but http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/Date.html has the info on what the suggested alternative is. so that's a thing.
