|A supernatural shocker chronicling a family's spine-tingling odyssey in new jersey's legendary pine barrens region. En route to a wilderness camping retreat, their car inexplicably breaks down.

From etaiwannews.com:
With his long beard, side curls, black hat, coat and trousers trailing white tsitsit strings, Yisrael Campbell looks like any other Orthodox Jew.
Not bad, for someone who grew up a Roman Catholic in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under the name of Chris.
Campbell's embrace of a faith that prefers to turn converts away did not come cheaply, though, it required payment in blood, and not just from anywhere.
"Three circumcisions is not a religious covenant. It's a fetish," he jokes early on in his one man show "Circumcise Me," at off-Broadway's Bleeker Street Theater.

If you want to understand the Left, the best place to start is with an understanding of hysteria. Leading leftists either use hysteria as a political tactic or are actually hysterics.
Take almost any subject the Left discusses and you will find hysteria.
The Patriot Act: According to leftist spokesmen and groups, the Patriot Act is a grave threat to liberty and democracy. It is frequently likened to the tactics of a fascist state. This is pure hysteria. The Los Angeles Times recently published statistics concerning the use of the Act. Through 2004, of the 7,136 complaints to the Justice Department's inspector general, one was related to the Patriot Act. The number of "sneak and peek" warrants, allowing searches without telling a subject, totaled 155. The number of roving wiretaps was 49, and the number of personal records seizures under Section 215 of the Act was 35.
The war in Iraq: It is not enough for leftist opponents of the war to argue that the war is a mistake, was initiated due to faulty intelligence, or is being poorly prosecuted. Rather they charge that President Bush lied, that the war was waged for Halliburton, and that America is engaged in a criminal and imperialist enterprise. Each charge is a form of hysteria.
Risks to health: Not everyone who believes the hysterical claims of danger made about secondhand smoke, baby formula, dodgeball or Bextra is on the Left. But the Left leads the country in hysteria over dangers to health. That is why leftist organizations are generally incapable of merely saying that something is unhealthy. The danger must be described as the killer of hundreds of thousands and often be ascribed to some murderous corporate conspiracy.
Environment: More people may be attacked by aardvarks in any given year than visit the remote and frozen region of Alaska known as the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR). It is the home, however, of vast oil reserves and many caribou. Good people can differ on whether or not to drill for oil there. But the rhetoric of the Left is hysterical. Listening to leftist organizations one would think that drilling would bring no benefit to America and would render the caribou virtually extinct. None of this is true. It is all drama.

The Malik Report
Grand Rapids Griffins-Syracuse Crunch Game 5 open post: Blashill offers takes on 12 prospects
by George Malik on 06/15/13 at 06:41 PM ET
Comments (37)
The Grand Rapids Griffins get a second chance to close out the Syracuse Crunch tonight (7 PM EDT, AHLLive.com/WOOD TV8 in Grand Rapids/WOOD Radio), and they'll do so minus Adam Almquist but including Gustav Nyquist, who the Grand Rapids Press's Peter J. Wallner reports was not suspended for whatever happened between Nyquist and Richard Panik last night.
The Crunch expect to have defenseman Radko Gudas back in their lineup, aiding the Crunch's transition game and already physical bite, and as we wait for the game to start, here are a few noteworthy items to tide you over:
1. Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk's facing off against St. Louis Blues goaltender Jake Allen in TSN's Play of the Year Semifinals, and voting will end on Monday at midnight EDT;
2. If you happen to be heading to the Quicken Loans 400 at the Michigan International Speedway tomorrow, Niklas Kronwall will be the Grand Marshal;
3. In a very different participatory vein, the Syracuse Post-Standard's Don Cazentre reports that the mayors of Syracuse, NY and Grand Rapids, MI have made a sudsy bet regarding the team that will capture the Calder Cup:

Do You Want Dan Cleary Back?
by Paul on 06/15/13 at 05:28 PM ET
Comments (12)
from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
Will Daniel Cleary be back for an encore with the Red Wings?
Talks to that end will heat up in the coming days, about three weeks ahead of July 5, when Cleary can become an unrestricted free agent. The Wings want Cleary back, and Cleary has said he wants to come back, but given the money that gets thrown around every summer once the market opens, Cleary may well opt to look around.
He's coming off a five-year, $14 million contract, and made a solid case for his value in the playoffs, when he finished second on the team with 10 points, ahead of Pavel Datsyuk.
On top of that, Cleary was the leading scorer in the Blackhawks series, with five points. He's 34, healthier than he has been in years, and a big body who repeatedly has demonstrated a willingness to go to the hard areas.
All those are reasons why the Wings want him back, of course. They need a big man to provide a net-front presence on each of the top two lines. Justin Abdelkader showed he could be one of them this past season. It's not a role that Johan Franzen performs well. Todd Bertuzzi is an option, but it's hard miles on the body, and Bertuzzi is 38 and has a history of back problems.

Griffins-Crunch Game 5 game-day updates: Nyquist will play, Almquist won't; Gudas to aid Syracuse
by George Malik on 06/15/13 at 01:41 PM ET
Comments (1)
The Grand Rapids Griffins will attempt to rebound from a difficult 3-2 loss to the Syracuse Crunch on Friday night when they battle Syracuse in Game 5 of the Calder Cup Final this evening (7 PM EDT, AHLLive.com/WOOD TV8 in Grand Rapids/WOOD Radio), and at the present moment, it appears that the New Holland Sentinel's Alan Babbitt's "insider" report that Gustav Nyquist wouldn't receive a suspension for his "spear" on Richard Panik is in fact accurate.
As the Crunch attempt to force the Griffins to endure another bus ride to Syracuse for Games 6 and 7, the Syracuse Post-Standard's Lindsay Kramer reports that Syrcause will add another physical player to their lineup in the previously-injured Radko Gudas, and he also reports that Adam Almquist remains sidelined with a Panik-induced concussion:

Red Wings overnight report: Griffins drop Game 4; recapping a busy Friday
by George Malik on 06/15/13 at 03:41 AM ET
Comments (14)
The Grand Rapids Griffins' 3-2 loss to the Syracuse Crunch in Game 4 of the Calder Cup Final is not the end of the world. It sets up a Game 5 on Saturday night (7 PM EDT, AHLLive.com/WXSP in Grand Rapids/WOOD Radio), and to some extent, it was predictable given that the Griffins are such a young team that had never been on the cusp of a championship.
They took the Crunch too lightly, blowing power plays and getting caught up in the rough-and-tumble stuff involved when a team that's accumulated 1 playoff loss in three previous series' worth of play is essentially attempting to defend a title that the majority of its roster captured as members of the Norfolk Admirals a year ago.
But it was incredibly hard to watch.

Red Wings' Pavel Datsyuk discusses Winter Classic, veteran inspiration
by George Malik on 06/14/13 at 10:01 PM ET
Comments (3)
Red Wings forward Pavel Datsyuk was in New York, NY to take part in a photo shoot for Reebok and the 2014 Winter Classic, and he spoke to NHL.com's Tal Pinchevsky about playing in the first of six outdoor games scheduled for 13-14...
"I like it for the Red Wings and Toronto. Original Six, will be a good game between a Canadian team and American team," Datsyuk told NHL.com Friday. "Also for Michigan, the people need it now. The economy is low. Kids will see, and parents can explain how they played outside. I think it's unbelievable."
The big game at the Big House will be a special event for everyone involved, but particularly for young Red Wings Damien Brunner, Gustav Nyquist and Danny DeKeyser, who experienced a trial-by-fire this season. Datsyuk, having participated in the 2009 Winter Classic at Wrigley Field in Chicago, will play a large role mentoring those players into the fabric of the team.
"We have a younger team now. But we're still a good team. When I came 11 years ago, there were a lot of veteran guys. Now the team is younger, younger, younger. But I'm older, older, older," Datsyuk said.
Thankfully, Datsyuk told Pinchevsky that a certain player who played into his 40's was an inspiration early on--in one Igor Larionov:

Grand Rapids Griffins drop Game 4 against Syracuse, need to bounce back on Saturday
by George Malik on 06/14/13 at 09:43 PM ET
Comments (0)
I had a bad feeling about tonight's Grand Rapids Griffins-Syracuse Crunch game as all the veteran leadership in the world can't prevent a very young team from getting a little over-eager when up 3-0 in a championship series...
And I was right. The Grand Rapids Griffins' power play and a six-minute stretch in which the Griffins dropped a 2-1 lead and ended up losing 3-2 to the Syracuse Crunch, including a spear-that-was-a-not-a-spear yielding Gustav Nyquist tossed (5-minute major and a game) because Richard Panik got a stick on a hand and dove...
Well, to put it politely, the Griffins got ahead of themselves, and they forgot that the fourth win is the hardest against a team that had lost one playoff game prior to its series against Grand Rapids in the hard-charging, big, physical and downright mean Crunch.
But when mean is effective--Panik had a goal and an assist--the game-tying goal was a softy from an otherwise superhuman Mrazek (who channeled his innner Hasek at times, drawing an even-up on the major and getting called for diving once), and the power play stinks, you're not going to sweep your opponent (late-third-period flourish included as Cedric Desjardins hugged the post), and as such, the Griffins need to win tomorrow night's Game 5 (7 PM EDT, AHLLive.com/WXSP/WOOD Radio) lest they face another bus ride to Syracuse for a potential Game 6 or 7.

Grand Rapids Griffins-Syracuse Crunch Game 4 open post
by George Malik on 06/14/13 at 06:24 PM ET
Comments (82)
The Grand Rapids Griffins will attempt to sweep the Syracuse Crunch and capture their first Calder Cup tonight at Van Andel Arena (7 PM EDT, AHLLive.com/WOOD TV8 in Grand Rapids/WOOD Radio; Adam Almquist won't play tonight), and the Red Wings' website posted a game-day preview video:
Several TMR readers have attempted to "live blog" the game in other threads, so this is an "open post" for live-blogging purposes, save two articles (and the Drew Miller post has been updated, too)::
1. First, a story from Fox Sports' Art Regner regarding Chris Chelios and Chris Osgood's respective roles as player mentors for the Griffins' players:

Zetterberg Wins NHL Foundation Player Award

Updated at 6:04 PM with two stories from the Wings and news about where Datsyuk finished in Selke and Lady Byng voting:
From the NHL:
CHICAGO (June 14, 2013) -- Detroit Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg is the recipient of the 2012-13 NHL Foundation Player Award. The award recognizes the NHL player who applies the core values of hockey – commitment, perseverance and teamwork – to enrich the lives of people in his community. The NHL Foundation will present $25,000 to the Zetterberg Foundation to help fund the creation of three water stations in Kemba, Ethiopia, and provide 1,900 people with clean water for a lifetime. This donation will enable more children in the village to attend school as opposed to spending their days walking hours to get water for their families.
Zetterberg and his wife, Emma, give back to the Metro Detroit community through numerous initiatives as well as international causes in Ethiopia, Guatemala and Nepal. Zetterberg hosts children's charities, including Metro Detroit area children's hospitals and mentoring nonprofits, at each Red Wings home game during the regular season in the Zetterberg Foundation Suite. Zetterberg also funds a high school hockey scholarship each year and underwrites the Hockey Weekly High School All-Star Banquet.

A pair of mid-day Red Wings narratives: on adding a goal-scorer and Kyle Quincey's trip down under
by George Malik on 06/14/13 at 02:57 PM ET
Comments (9)
The Red Wings have re-signed Drew Miller and want to re-sign at least one of Daniel Cleary and/or Damien Brunner. As such, tthe Wings may very well go into training camp and the exhibition season with more than 14 forwards and 23 players (with Gustav Nyquist, Tomas Tatar and Joakim Andersson will all lead what the Wings hope will eventually be a slate of graduates from the Griffins' roster as full-time Wings).
The Free Press's Helene St. James duly notes that the Wings have their reasons for not just possibly but also probably heading into training camp with a glut of forwards (regardless of whether the team decides to buy out Mikael Samuelsson)...

Griffins-Crunch Game 4 game-day updates: no Almquist for GR; Griffins trying to remain even-keeled
by George Malik on 06/14/13 at 01:12 PM ET
Comments (10)
Updated 2x at 2 PM: With the probabilty of Pavel Datsyuk snagging another Selke Trophy nod when the NHL announces its first slate of award winners this afternoon (and, as Sportsnet's Mark Spector suggests, Henrik Zetterberg being snubbed by Mark Messier in the "leadership award" department--though you can make a difference as Pavel Datsyuk faces off against Jake Allen in the TSN Play of the Year semifinals), the spotlight sits squarely upon the Grand Rapids Griffins, who can sweep the Syracuse Crunch and capture their first Calder Cup this evening at a sold-out Van Andel Arena (7 PM EDT, AHLLive.com/WOOD TV8 in Grand Rapids/WOOD Radio).

ok some of you may be aware that I am a novice so bare with me...WHY oh Why is my thread getting all jumbled together where the bobbin is? WHAT am I doing wrong? Pls. help before I pop a blood vessel...;)
Well, it must have been the way I was putting the whole bobbin situation together, because after following your instructions-step by step the problem dissappeared! In fact I sewed all day & not once did it occur again YAAAY!! Thanks again!!!
borrowed machine from mom (she's gone on vac.) It seams to have stopped_ I don't know why... but I just got unexpected company so it will all have to wait until tomorrow...thanks so much I am following what you are saying, & it does make sense....Will look closely at all of it in the morning. Thanks so much for the help I do appreciate it. The nerve of someone wanting to visit when I'm on a sewing mission! LOL! Thanks again:) You are an angel..
Dy'n, there could be two reasons - the first is that your bobbin is not threading correctly with the needle. You *should* start over with new thread on the bobbin in case at some point the thread become loose around the bobbin. If it didn't and you know that, I would take a close look at whether you have the bobbin in correctly. Are you setting it to feed in the counter clockwise position or is it intended to feed clockwise? It could be either, depending on how you threaded your bobbin. But most machines will give you the proper direction in an image in the instruction book.
The other reason is simply tension. But if your machine seems to be sewing quietly, and it's not glueing up anywhere else it's probably not the tension. My bet is that your bobbin is not feeding properly.
In your bobbin case (where you place your bobbin), do you have a clear cover to see your thread threading or is it completely covered? Sometimes, there's a little tiny "jut" on the left hand side of the case top as you're looking down at the machine - close to where your needle inserts. If you pull your bobbin thread to the right when you're threading it through it will more than likely get gummed up. It has to be on the left side of that nickmark in the top plate.
That's probably really confusing, huh? Let me see if I can explain it a different way.
The top plate of your bobbin case might have a little gouge in it (or what looks like a little gouge). the thread, when you're pulling it up through MUST be on the far left of that little mark, otherwise it's trying to thread through the same place as the master thread is threading, and that's what causes it to get gummed up. Do you have an instruction manual???
unfortunately, the machine is borrowed from my mom (who's away on vac.) & the manual is not in the case... I guess I"ll keep trying...:( Thanks though!

The Hyderabad-based Centre for DNA Fingerprinting and Diagnostics (CDFD) has ruled out sexual assault on the two teenaged cousins found hanging from a tree in Badaun in May. The Central Bureau of Investigation received the report on Wednesday, bringing more trouble for the family members of the deceased, who are already under scanner for 'honor killing angle' being probed.
However, the three-member medical board constituted during investigations is yet to submit its report. The CBI has given the CDFD report to medical board as well to look into the findings and inform about their opinion.
The investigating agency would not exhume the bodies, as the CDFD report has provided enough forensic evidence to go ahead with the probe.
Earlier the accused arrested in wake of the incident had cleared the polygraph test, while the family members and witnesses according to CBI were inconsistent, while detailing about the incident. The CBI sources claim that he agency would not oppose the bail pleas of five accused — Pappu, Awadhesh and Urvesh Yadav (all three brothers) and constables Chhatrapal Yadav and Sarvesh Yadav — as there was no clear evidence against them.
The two cousins went missing on May 27 evening and were found found hanging from a mango tree on May 28 in their village. The incident had triggered nationwide outrage and Samajwadi Party government was heavily criticized, with many highprofile politicians, visiting the family members of the deceased. However, Uttar Pradesh DGP AL Banerjee after the initial investigation had claimed that the rape of one of the victims was not confirmed and property could be one of the motives behind the crime.

I had difficulty determining what was causing the problem. One's first take would be that the door bottom seal was bad, but inspection showed it was more of a drip rail than a seal because it didn't appear to be designed to touch the tub tightly when the door was closed.. Then reading on this site (and others), the idea that the washer arm was tiltiing excessivily was suggested. This would allow the full force of the spray to be directeed at the bottom seal. Since the parts were relatively inexpensive, I replaced the arm bearrling ring, and lower arm seal and the arm retaining nut.. (I could see nothing wrong with the arm itself and the arm was relatively expensive. So, I didn't order it. ) The leak stopped. I noticed that the flange on the old arm bearing ring was narrower than the new one, maybe through wear. But, I am still not sure exactly where/how the water was being splashed or driven toward the door to cause the leak. But, with those parts, it's fixed. Putting the parts in was trivial. Remove the nut, lift the arm off. Set the parts in place, Set the arm back in place. Put th nut back on. The nut is a "thumb nut" . No tools required. A tip: use a folded newspaper below the drip point to catch and make apparent any leak/drip. Drops of water on the paper are easy to spot.

Wondering if you would be interested in joining my brother, Les Bissell. He is looking for a competent crewmate for next leg of his sail around the world. Would require sharing all duties on the boat and this is an unpaid position. This trip has some sponsors, media attention and is promoting stroke awareness. Lots of folks following the trip. Check out The Voyage of Hope web site to get all the
details. www.voyageofhope.org
Les: Age 39 onboard a Newport 28 started in Annapolis, MD now on Long Is. in the Bahamas, very flexible, fun, safe sailor–
Long Is. Bahamas (airport-LGI) is short hop from Nassau.
You could try it Bahamas-Panama Canal and return home or longer ocean stretches to Galapagos, Fr. Poly, NZ, and beyond if things worked out. If you could be comfortable on a 28ft boat (non-luxurious but excellent communications and safety gear),
can cover your own expenses (food, visas, land excursions and return passage costs)
are reasonably easy going and honest, and are up for a challenge, this will be an adventure and a great way to get out on the ocean. Some references would be required.
He is looking to leave Bahamas ASAP.
If you're seriously able to consider this and want to talk with him, send msg w/info to email@example.com about you and your sailing experience, when you''d be ready to go, etc. and he can call from SAT phone if you leave your number.
Thanks for your time and fair winds,

Students developing an injectable foam to treat battlefield wounds
The foam is currently injected via this applicator
The team, from left: Austin Jordan, Divya Kernik, Allie Sanzi, Sydney Rooney, Katie Hochberg, Logan Howard, Ernest Scalabrin and Jeff Knox
Article Summary
When a soldier is wounded on an extremity such as an arm or leg, applying a bandage and/or tourniquet to stop the bleeding is typically a fairly straight-ahead process. However, in cases where an injury is received right at the junction between an extremity and the torso – places such as the neck, shoulder or groin – things get a lot trickier. Gauze pads treated with clotting agents are often packed into the wound, although they're not always sufficient for staunching the flow. A group of students from Johns Hopkins University are working on a better alternative, in the form of a hardening foam that's injected into the wound.

Gear Review
Joel Scheingross
Have loved it, but upgrading to ATS
I've been using a pirana to rappel with since I started canyoneering about 2 years ago. I like it more than an ATC (which I occasionally use) because it's so much easier to add friction on rappel (just throw a wrap around the horns) and you can get a lot more friction with the pirana than with an ATC (which comes in handy for big drops).
It's a great product, but I see 2 downsides compared to an ATC. 1, it's a lot heavier, and 2, I find it harder to choke up with, (and maybe 3, you can't belay with it, but I only use it canyoneering, so that's not really an issue).
All that being said, I'm upgrading to the Sterling ATS mainly because it has horns on both sides of the device, so you never need to worry about having the brake line on the correct side to add friction mid rappel (the ATS can also serve as a belay device, which is nice too).

Athens, Greece
My Rating
Guide was very good. Visit to Acropolis museum well worth including. It was also good to be able to use the entry tickets at several other sites in Athens if you have more time. Reason for the rating being only 3 stars is that it is an expensive tour for half a day with a large group so didn't rate it very highly for value for money.
Mexico City, Mexico
My Rating
The Pyramids and Basilica of Guadalupe are fascinating and well worth experiencing. Our guide, Frank, spoke excellent English and was full of information to bring this cultural experience to life. There were some additional stops on the visit which included the inevitable gift shops, but the cactus ranch was a worthwhile visit along with the tequila tasting!
Istanbul, Turkey
My Rating
Excellent day with a superb guide. We learnt a lot about life in Istanbul as well as the history and culture of the city and its most famous monuments. Well paced and it was great for all the family to have a personal guide - everyone was engaged in the tour and the conversation. The only thing I would change is the obligatory visit to either the carpet sellers or, in our case, the tile manufacturers.
Venice, Italy
My Rating
Large group 20 people and despite small loudspeaker it was not easy to hear the guide. However, enjoyed the tour, guide was v. knowledgeable and canal trip at the end of the day was well worth it.

Quebec restless a decade after failed referendum
By David Ljunggren
QUEBEC CITY, Quebec (Reuters) – A decade after a referendum
on whether Quebec should break away from Canada failed by a
whisker, the pro-independence movement in the French-speaking
province is anxious to try its luck again.
Fury about a federal government patronage scandal has
pushed support among Quebecers for sovereignty above 50 percent
in some opinion polls, a level not seen for years. The
separatist Parti Quebecois says it will call another referendum
quickly if it wins the next provincial election, likely in
"We must win. We must win," said Agnes Maltais, who chairs
the caucus of Parti Quebecois legislators in the provincial
"We don't hate Canada. It's just that … we don't have a
place in this Canadian vision any more. It doesn't fit in with
the aspirations that Quebec has for itself," she told Reuters.
A Parti Quebecois government introduced Quebec's last
referendum on sovereignty, which took place on October 30,
1995. In the final tally, just 54,000 votes separated the
pro-Canada camp from the separatists, who gained 49.4 percent
The close result was a huge shock to the federal government
in Ottawa, which pumped government advertising money into
Quebec to try to ease separatist feelings and thereby ensure
Canada never lived through such drama again.
Yet 10 years later many in the province of 8 million people
remain unhappy with their place inside a predominantly
English-speaking Canada of 32 million.
Uneasy relations between the two communities stretch back
to when the French, the first to settle what is now Canada,
were forced to hand over control of their territory to Britain
in the mid-18th century.
Canada gained its independence in 1867, but Quebec
francophones complained they were second-class citizens in a
province dominated by English-speakers.
It was not until the mid-20th century that francophones
started to press seriously for their rights and in 1976 they
voted in the first Parti Quebecois provincial government, which
moved aggressively to promote French language and culture.
The attractive narrow streets of Quebec City are now alive
with French, which by law must dominate even store signs.
Separatists admit their culture is on sturdier ground than
it was before 1976, but they say Canada's federal system still
gives Ottawa too much control over taxes and legislation.
"I feel like a teen-ager in a house with very strict
parents who won't let me out to experience life properly," said
delivery man Jean Lesage. "We have a strong industrial base,
vast amounts of hydroelectric power and lots of resources —
who says we couldn't survive on our own?"
The federal Liberals, wary of clashing with separatists
over sensitive topics such as culture and language, are also
happy to use economic arguments. They say an independent Quebec
would be crushed in an era increasingly dominated by giants
like China and India.
"I don't believe that anybody's children, given the
opportunities that we have as Canada, are going to (want to) be
in a country of 8 million people," Prime Minister Paul Martin
told Quebec journalists this month.
Martin's approach reflects another challenge for the
separatists, since there is little chance the federal
government will be as complacent it was in 1995.
Jean Chretien, prime minister at the time, was absent from
the stuttering pro-federal campaign and seemed oblivious to the
dangers. When he finally realized the separatists could win, he
broke down and cried in front of his parliamentary caucus.
The government subsequently pushed through legislation
making it harder for provinces to break away.
But ironically, it was a more subtle policy that boosted
secessionist sentiment.
Ottawa poured money into Quebec through a sponsorship
program designed to boost the federal image, plastering the
province with the maple leaf flag and sponsoring trade shows.
The program was deeply flawed and, in a scandal that still
dominates Canadian politics, C$100 million was funneled to
firms with close Liberal ties. Quebecers were outraged.
"There was a visceral reaction that we were deceived, that
they stole our money and tried to steal our identity," said
But Benoit Pelletier, intergovernmental minister with
Quebec's increasingly unpopular governing Liberal party, said
the Parti Quebecois ran the risk of being overconfident.
"We are also confident of winning the next election …
We're very confident that up until that moment we'll (continue
to) win support and there won't be another referendum," he told
The Parti Quebecois — notorious both for infighting and
the hefty influence from hard-liners who will brook no delay in
pushing for independence — is looking for a new leader.
The favorite is 39-year-old Andre Boisclair, a charismatic
openly gay legislator who could be damaged by the admission he
used cocaine while the party was last in power.
"The cause of sovereignty is even stronger in 2005 than it
was in 1995 … It's impossible to manage Quebec with the tools
we have in the province," he told Reuters.
Surprisingly, this message is now under fire from a most
unlikely source.
Lucien Bouchard, the firebrand separatist leader who almost
pulled off victory in the 1995 referendum, said last week
Quebec should focus on problems such as high taxes, low
population growth and an enormous debt.
"If you're saying to me that we must achieve sovereignty
first to settle this, that's not what I think," Bouchard, who
quit politics in 2001, said after launching a manifesto calling
for radical changes to the way the province is run.
