SANAA: Yemenis concluded a national dialogue yesterday aimed at drafting a new constitution and establishing a federal state in an impoverished country gripped by unrest, where southerners are clamouring for independence.
Secessionists boycotted the talks launched in March 2013 as part of a UN-backed transition that saw president Ali Abdullah Saleh step down after 33 years in power following massive Arab Spring-inspired protests in the region's poorest country.
Saleh's successor, President Abdrabuh Mansur Hadi, pledged at a ceremony on Saturday to form commissions to draft the new constitution and thrash out the details of the promised new federation.
"All (sides) have made painful concessions," Hadi said of the dialogue, which had been due to last six months but was extended for another four in the face of bitter disagreements over key issues.
"This is a historic day," said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in a recorded video message played during the ceremony.
His envoy to Yemen, Jamal Benomar, who has been overseeing the implementation of the peace deal, hailed the outcome of the dialogue as a "clear roadmap".
"The dialogue was not a picnic, and faced tough challenges," said Benomar, adding that the Yemeni people "should be proud of this achievement".
EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton in a statement called the process "a unique and historic achievement", saying it had brought Yemen "closer to democracy and to the aspirations of its people for a more secure and prosperous future".
The United States also welcomed the conclusion of the dialogue, but State Department deputy spokeswoman Marie Harf said that "despite significant progress" Yemen's "democratic transition is not complete".
Southerners have strongly opposed proposals for a federation of six units -- four in the north and two in the south -- instead of one each for the formerly independent north and south, fearing that their influence would be diluted.
"We will work as soon as possible to form a regions committee and another to draft a constitution," Hadi said at the ceremony attended by representatives of the United Nations, Arab League and Gulf states.
"We still have a long way to go to implement the document," said the president, who is himself originally from the south.
Benomar urged southerners to "react positively" to the outcome of the dialogue, taking into consideration the proposed "solutions to the south issue that all have signed".
Participants in the national dialogue agreed that Hadi should continue in office until a new president is elected, a process that could take years as the new constitution and electoral law are thrashed out.
Southern parts of Yemen formed an independent state from the end of British colonial rule in 1967 until union with the north in 1990.
A secession attempt four years later sparked a brief but bloody civil war that ended with northern forces taking over the south.
Southern separatists boycotted the dialogue, amid frequent clashes with security forces.
Zaidi Shia rebels in the far north have meanwhile fought an on and off war with both the central government and hardline Sunni Islamists since 2004.

The NBA playoffs are so close, you can almost smell 'em...
Which may not be the best thing, actually. The scent of sweaty giants battling on a basketball court isn't the most pleasant one to say the least.
And, really, there's plenty left to be decided during what remains of the 2013-14 regular season. Nearly every playoff seed is up for grabs in some capacity, including the final ones in both conferences.
Heck, even the race to the bottom for the worst record in the Association has yet to be decided. The Philadelphia 76ers sit two games "back" of the Milwaukee Bucks in that regard, despite losing an NBA-record-tying 26 straight games.
Those and other springtime pursuits have done plenty to shake up the league's hierarchy since we last convened. Read, click and swipe ahead to see where everyone stands—based on recent on-court performance relative to one another—heading into the first full week of April.

Arizona Rep. Frank Pratt announced Tuesday that he is forming an exploratory committee to run for one of the two seats that will be open on the Arizona Corporation Commission in 2014.
Pratt, R-Casa Grande, runs a pool business, has represented Districts 23 and 8, and has served as chairman of the Energy, Environment and Natural Resources committee and vice chairman of the Agricultural and Water committee.
Last week, commissioner Brenda Burns announced she will not seek a second term on the five-member commission, which regulates utilities such as Arizona Public Service Co. Commissioner Gary Pierce will term out in 2014.
The other three commission seats are up for election in 2016.
"As a Corporation Commissioner, I will focus on a balanced energy portfolio that provides clean, reliable energy at the lowest possible price," Pratt said in a statement. "We must use all forms of energy including solar, nuclear, wind, coal, natural gas, hydroelectric and other emerging and proven technologies."

Vt. federal judge takes senior status
MONTPELIER Vermont federal Judge William K. Sessions III is taking senior status after 18 years on the bench.
U.S. Senator Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, says Sessions informed the president on Wednesday.
Leahy says Sessions commitment to the rule of law has made him among the most respected federal judges in the country and that the people of Vermont are fortunate he will continue to serve as a senior judge even after a nominee is appointed to replace him.
Sessions was unanimously confirmed to the U.S. District Court in 1995 and served as its chief judge from 2002 to 2010.
He also served on the United States Sentencing Commission and was appointed by President Obama in 2009 to be chairman, a position in which he served for two years.MORE IN Vermont NewsRUTLAND The refugees are coming.

My boyfriend and I went to Glynn House Inn so we can go climbing at Rumney. The BnB is cute and quaint! Rooms are really clean and beds are comfortable. The homemade breakfast is my favorite part! Food is delicious. Glenn was a fabulous host!! Perfect weekend!
Innkeepers were exceptionally friendly and breakfast was excellent. Helpful with places to eat but not much in the immediate neighborhood. But very relaxing.
We spent the day hiking in the White Mountains and were eager for a quaint, comfortable place to relax. Glynn House was perfect - a lovely Inn with fantastic service. Can't recommend highly enough!
It was fantastic in every possible way
We had tickets to the Castle in the Clouds Christmas event and this was only 25 minutes away, compared to 2.5hours from home. The owner was very nice and helpful, she pointed us to a fantastic restaurant Six Burner Bistro only 5 minute drive. Breakfast in the morning was wonderful. Although it is walking distance to the original (very first) Common Man restaurant we drove there. They have a quaint gift shop across from the Common Man. We had only a one day/night event there wasn't much more to keep us there an extra night, but we had fun.

The Constitutional Forum constitutionnel provides an important opportunity for interdisciplinary debate and dialogue on constitutional issues. Articles are generally short with insightful commentary on current topics of Canadian and international constitutional importance. We hope you enjoy the new format and we welcome your feedback.

J'enseigne le droit depuis plus de vingt ans. Et, petit à petit, j'en suis venu à la conviction que les juristes (comme moi), et les politologues et philosophes intéressés par le fédéralisme et la question autochtone — qu'ils soient eux-mêmes autochtones ou pas — , ne tiennent pas toujours suffi samment compte du Trickster dans leur façon d'appréhender le monde. Leurs constructions intellectuelles sont dépourvues d'aspérités. Elles ne donnent pas prise à l'imprévu. Tout y est trop lisse. Et surtout, ces conceptualisations surestiment ou sous-estiment bien souvent la capacité des êtres humains à se penser eux-mêmes.

I have taught law for more than twenty years. I have gradually become convinced that jurists (like myself), political scientists, and philosophers who are interested in federalism and Indigenous issues — whether they themselves are of Indigenous origin or not — do not always take sufficient consideration of the Trickster in their understanding of these matters. Their intellectual constructions lack asperities. No provision is made for the unforeseen. Everything is just too smooth. Above all, these constructions often overestimate or underestimate the capacity of human beings to think by and for themselves.
 2016-04-14T16:06:57-06:00 Copyright (c) 2016 Constitutional Forum / Forum constitutionnel http://wigan-ojs.library.ualberta.ca/index.php/constitutional_forum/article/view/27628 Comparing Canadian and Colombian Approaches to the Duty to Consult Indigenous Communities on International Treaties 2016-04-14T16:06:57-06:00 Dwight Newman firstname.lastname@example.com Wendy Elizabeth Ortega Pineda firstname.lastname@example.com
In recent years, the development in Canada of a constitutional duty to consult Indigenous communities has had ramifications on government decision-making that are widespread, far-reaching, and potentially expansive. The modern duty to consult doctrine developed in a series of cases in 2004-2005, ensuring that governments have a duty to consult proactively with Aboriginal communities whose Aboriginal or treaty rights may be adversely impacted by a particular administrative decision, even in the face of uncertainty about the scope of asserted rights in the absence of a final settlement or court decision. Case law development on the duty later established that the duty is also triggered in the context of an early, strategic decision that may determine later administrative decisions. Some have put forth the argument that the duty may be triggered prior to the adoption of legislation; adjudication on that issue is currently making its way forward
through the courts.

The Hupacasath First Nation case, recently decided at the Federal Court of Appeal, raised another question, that of whether or not consultation was owed to Aboriginal communities in the context of international treaty negotiations. Although the federal government has actually engaged in such consultation in some instances so as to avoid infringing Aboriginal and treaty rights, the case raised the complex question of whether it is constitutionally required to do so in order to comply with the duty to consult doctrine. On the particular facts of the case, the issue concerned the Canada-China foreign investment treaty, which the Hupacasath First Nation argued was apt to lead to later infringements on Aboriginal rights. Both the Federal Court and the Federal Court of Appeal rejected these arguments. Their rejection has broader implications, but we shall argue that it leaves open the possibility that the negotiation of some international
treaties may trigger the constitutional duty to consult, thus opening a complex nexus between constitutional and international law.

This paper begins by tracing Canadians' concerns about judicial activism. Part II surveys how academics, commentators, and others have reacted to perceived overreaches by Canada's highest court over time. By evaluating the comments made by Justices Marshall Rothstein, Michael Moldaver, Andromache Karakatsanis, and Richard Wagner at their nominee hearings, Part III shows the paucity of official public discussion on the topic. Changing countries, Part IV explains how judicial activism has been canvassed recently in American Supreme Court nomination hearings; this part assesses how the topic has been addressed during and since Chief Justice John Roberts's confirmation hearing in 2005. Part V analyzes Justice Nadon's comments and demonstrates how they depart from Canadian precedent and towards a deeper, more American focus on the topic's vagaries. Part VI concludes with some thoughts on what Nadon's comments may portend should televised ad hoc committee hearings for Supreme Court nominees be restarted.

The Slow, Slow Drive to Work
Heading into work today, while I composed a few thousand words of something will probably never actually get written, I realized that, in a purely functional sense, I only average something like 18 miles per hour during the drive. On a good day, I might see something close to 30 mph, but on a bad day it drops to between 8 and 10 mph.
Not terribly important in the way that this is, but still pretty freakin' important to me.

I was watching "Sesame Street" recently with my middle child, 2-year-old Aaron, when I noticed something unsettling about the show.
No Grover!
There must be some mistake.
Maybe I'd just gotten up to answer the phone and missed the nasal-sounding, furry little blue guy. Surely he'd been on the show.
I queried Aaron.
"Who's Grover?" he responded.
I mentioned the situation to my wife.
"Oh, you mean you don't know?" she said. "Grover fell out of favor with the Children's Television Workshop a few years ago after that politically incorrect interview he did in Highlights magazine."
Christie went on to explain that Grover had expressed some troubling Libertarian political views that went contrary to the publicly funded PBS's attempts to increase its budget. That, and he'd confessed that he prefers neither the color blue nor the letter "G."
"The song 'Fuzzy & Blue' is simply another lie we tell the kids," Grover was quoted saying on Highlights' web site. "My hair is really closer to indigo."
The more I thought about it, the more conspicuous Grover's absence became. Because I hadn't watched "Sesame Street" for several years, I hadn't noticed that Grover didn't have his own Tickle Me doll like the toys marketed for Elmo, Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster and Big Bird. He no longer was given solos on the show and he got virtually no bathtub time with Ernie.
I see Grover's exile as yet another example of society's tendency to punish unpopular words while overlooking actions and deeds.
England's national soccer coach likely will be fired this week for some thoughtless words he has spoken. Glenn Hoddle, soccer's equivalent to Michael Jordan, was quoted in a British newspaper saying that the disabled are paying for "the sins of an earlier life." Hoddle, reportedly a devout Christian, also has been mocked for enlisting a faith healer before the World Cup.
Wow. Somebody wipe my brow here.
In our country, the president can stomp on important moral and legal principles but retain his job as long as he says the right thing and the economy is good. And Clinton is exceptional at telling people what they want to hear.
Evander Holyfield, the heavyweight champion of the world, can sire God-only-knows-how-many illegitimate children and no one threatens to yank his boxing license or calls for him to retire. And this is the man many people call God's Champion, who spouts Bible verses and trains to gospel music.
Shifting gears yet again, does anyone expect any long-term consequences for Eugene Robinson? He's the devout Christ-ian and philanthropic Atlanta Falcon who has been charged with soliciting a prostitute the night before the Super Bowl.
We're all guilty, in a manner of speaking (forgive the pun), of saying one thing and doing another. Think for a minute. When was the last time you went to an amusement park and saw a freak show? A true freak show is about as rare these days as an NBA player who plays for the fun of the game. Yet some of the most popular stuff on television are talk shows and reality programming like "The Guinness Book of World Records" and "When Animals Attack XXXIII." Here we can watch people fight over who gets to make love to the house cat or watch a program on self-immolation and squirting milk from your eyes. We can watch as a deer mutilates a hunter while his wife steadily holds the camcorder.
The freak show we would not dare visit has visited us in our homes. The presidential sex show that "we just want to end" garners record ratings and newsstand sales.
In the future, Hypocrisy will be recognized as a philosophy equal in weight with Stoicism and Epicureanism. It doesn't matter what you do. Just watch what you say. And if you must say something truly offensive, dash out and buy a puppet. Let Grover take the fall.

I have seen several TRs for Vesper Peak, but Sperry hasn't gotten as much attention. It is a fine scramble and not as hard as it looks from the lake, so I'm going to give it a little press here. It is a very worthy objective. Sperry Peak is a prominent spire located along the Mountain Loop Highway a few miles west of Barlow Pass. Its NE face, visible from Mt. Dickerman, has an impressively precipitous appearance from that vantage point. There is no easy hiking trail to its summit, but there is a class 2-3 scramble route on the SW side, from Vesper Lake. The approach to Sperry is the same as for the much more popular Vesper Peak: via the Sunrise Mine Trail and Headlee Pass. We arrived at the trailhead about 7:30, expecting to be the first ones there, but we discovered three cars already in the parking area. Most guidebooks list the trailhead elevation at 2100, but matching where we were with the USGS topo map looked more like 2400. We loaded up and hit the trail at 7:40. A look at Sperry Peak from lower Wirtz Basin, before the fog rolled in. Guidebooks and other TRs describe the trail as a root-fest and it is indeed that, but not as difficult to follow as some TRs have indicated. We had also heard horror stories about the Stillaguamish River crossing and were relieved to find the water very low and the crossing no more difficult than a typical creek crossing. From there, the trail works its way up and around the north ridge of Morning Star Peak into Wirtz Basin. Much of this section was wet with encroaching dew-laden brush, but not at all hard to follow. Higher in the basin, however, the trail moves into a talus field, fog rolled in, and we managed to lose it among the rocks and fog. Consulting the map and taking a compass bearing, we decided we were too far to hikers right and eventually traversed our way back to the trail. From there we easily followed it up the steep gulley to Headlee Pass, ~4600. After the fog rolled in, a look back down from the upper trail to Headlee Pass with Dickerman and Twin Peaks beyond..Looking up towards the pass from the same spot. After crossing the pass, the trail drops down a bit and traverses across another talus field, but this time we managed to stay on it with no problems. A short ways later we arrived at picturesque Vesper Lake, tucked in a small basin between Sperry and Vesper Peaks, and now totally ice-free. The only other people we encountered here were a couple of young men heading up Vesper. After dropping over Headlee Pass, the trail traverses this talus slope into the small notch visible in the center. Vesper Lake is a short distance beyond. Our plan was to climb Sperry and if time, energy, and weather permitted, add on the traverse to Vesper. So we did a gently rising traverse around the east shore of the lake to the base of the slabs coming off Sperrys SW slopes. The standard route continues to the north shore of the lake and climbs to the Sperry-Vesper saddle, from where it follows the ridge to Sperrys summit, but we opted to scramble up the slabs and intersect the ridge higher up and closer to the summit. We found a likely line that could be done safely without roping up and soon found ourselves on the upper ridge, where we encountered the infamous trees. Other TRs have told about climbing this section using tree branches for handholds, or veggie belays, and we did likewise. We topped out on Sperrys summit at exactly 12 noon, 4:20 from the car. Our route up Sperry was to scramble the slabby SW slopes to gain the upper NW ridge and then climb the ridge to the summit.From the upper NW ridge, this is looking over towards a cloud-veiled Vesper Peak along the connecting ridge. Taehee has just topped out on a short chimney, a couple of minutes from the summit.Seen from Sperry, Big Four presents a different profile from its usual Dickerman pose. Rick trying not to get blown off Sperry's high point.This is a view down to the lake, between patches of fog rolling through. Although our energy level was fine, the other two factors--time and weather--were more concerning, so we made the decision to stick with one peak and not try for the traverse. We settled down to eat our lunch and enjoy the summit. The wind was quite strong from the west, but in the lee of some rocks it was very comfortable. Clouds were blowing in and out and creating constantly changing views of the surrounding peaks. Lewis Peak pokes above the fog, with the N ridge of Morning Star in the foreground, from Sperry's summit.Just right of the previous photo, Morning Star Peak is in the foreground, with Del Campo and Gothic peeking out of the fog beyond, from Sperry's summit. A group of 3 climbers from WAC eventually joined us shortly before we headed down. Their plan was to go for the traverse, but as it turned out, two of them followed us down and only one of them went for the traverse solo. The others waited for him at the lake, in contact with him by 2-way radio. The scramble back down to the lake was mostly uneventful. We did not downclimb our route up the slabs, but took the usual route down from the saddle. The hike out went quickly and we arrived back at the car at 3:40. Our ascent route was too steep to downclimb, so to return to the lake, we went to the Sperry-Vesper saddle and followed the class 2 route down from there. Sperry is a great late-season scramble. The route was entirely snow-free, except for a few patches in the lake basin which were easily bypassed, and the fall color was beginning to really kick in. No technical gear is needed, although helmets are advisable above the lake and trekking poles are very helpful on the steep trail. The rocky summit has room for quite a few people and the views are spectacular.--------------We don't stop hiking because we grow old; we grow old because we stop hiking. --Finis Mitchell Back to top TazzMemberJoined: 27 Apr 2005Posts: 7915 | TRs | Pics Tue Oct 03, 2006 1:38 pm thanks for the reportand pics!

I never gave a thought to Sperry. Went up Vesper many times. Your luck had it that clouds gave you terrific vistas with peaks looming out of the swirling white. Great photos! Friday, I took a day and headed to PCT. Had no problem with fog/clouds, though there was some early before we reached the TH. My fall-back hike was Cutthroat Lakes. If I had gone to the latter location, I would have spent the day in the clouds. Look forward to your next endeavor and photos!

How would I define the Key in this situation. Thanks for the tip. -D ____________________________________________________________________________________ Looking for last minute shopping deals?

Terrorism has always been a part of human life, but few of us realize how far back it goes in history and the many forms it can take. In this class we will survey the history of terrorism throughout the world and American history to ask what lessons we can draw from our own times. Dr. Michael Reinhard will draw upon his extensive field research in Afghanistan to help us better understand contemporary terrorism and its relationship to other forms of political violence. We will also survey the methods that have been used to combat terrorism and examine the political and legal problems raised by the policies of the Bush and Obama administrations both domestically and internationally. Participants will also get lunch courtesy of Pizza Shack.
.5 CEU credit for participants is included in the cost of the workshop.
Checks for the workshop should be made payable to Millsaps College.
A school purchase order is also acceptable.
Contact Wanda Manor at 601-974-1133 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
This workshop is funded through the National Endowment for the Humanities and jointly sponsored by the Eudora Welty Foundation and Millsaps College. "One Place, One Time" will provide new ways of understanding the complex intersections of race and power, cultural change and resistance, institutions and individuals, and will further provide ways of making these intersections vivid for our students.
The workshop will focus upon Jackson, Mississippi, and will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the murder of Medgar Evers, a native Mississippian and NAACP field secretary. Evers's murder was a catalyst for racial change, and the local and national events that surrounded it captured the tensions and conflicts between the civil rights campaign and its detractors. In the summer 2013 workshop, we will be able to observe the struggle, the tragedy, the triumphs, and the legacy of an emblematic place and moment in American History.
For more information about the workshop, including cost and obtaining and application, please visit: http://eudorawelty.org/resources.

December 03, 2013
By Evan Lockridge
Sales of new automobiles, light-trucks and SUVs in the U.S. picked up their pace dramatically last month, hitting an annual rate of 16.4 million, far above the 15.3 million yearly rate in October and the best since early 2007.
Total sales during the month registered nearly 1.25 million, an 8.9% gain from a year ago, beating many analysts' expectations.
The nation's largest car retailer, General Motors, reported its best November in six years, increasing 14% from a year ago, while Ford saw its best November in nine years, with sales picking up 7.2%. Chrysler, reported an increase of 16%, its best November since 2007.
Foreign auto makers also had reason to smile with sales at Toyota and Nissan increasing more than 10%, while Hyundai reported a 5% gain and Kia a 1.3% increase. Others reporting hikes for the month include Subaru, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Jaguar/Land Rover and even Maserati.
In contrast, Honda was the lone automaker among the biggest six to report a drop, falling 0.1%. Also seeing a decline was Volkswagen, losing 16%, while Mazda and BMW also saw declines.
Some are forecasting auto deliveries next year to hit 16.1 million. While that would amount to the smallest annual increase since its rebound from a 27-year low for sales in 2009, it would extend the industry's streak of gains to five years for just the second time since World War II, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.

It happened as we were on our way to Kyle's indoor soccer game at the Mayor Ralph A. Infante Wellness Center in Niles. We were driving along, happily enjoying the first Tuesday of November when the radio station we were listening to started to play ... Christmas music.
My ears were still ringing from the dinging and donging of the premature holiday bells on the way back home when the little gal behind the counter at the Dunkin' Donuts on Niles-Cortland Road handed me my coffee and cocoa and said ... "Happy Holidays!"
Um, is there another one prior to - and being bundled with - Thanksgiving with which I am unfamiliar?
People, people, is it me or does the hastening of the Christmas/Hanukkah season start earlier and earlier every year?
I swear I saw a Christmas commercial before Labor Day.
And I wasn't sure whether to be angry with Father Time or Mother Nature, but since she's been sending us spring-like temperatures lately - and out of loyalty to the sisterhood of woman - I figured I should focus my ire on the former.
Dude, why the rush? I mean, isn't it enough that my nearly 11-year-old is telling me that he can't wait until middle school's over so that he can get to high school and start working on scholarships for The Ohio State University?
College talk. In fifth grade. Really?
Father Time, what have I ever done to you?
Oh, sure, I was once the impatient child who wanted to zip past teen-dom and dive headlong into adulthood in a week. OK, I'm sorry, all right?
I figured we were even when you started sending me gray hair at age 20, but apparently, you're still holding a grudge.
What else could be the explanation for the warp speed at which you're catapulting me through life?
I mean, I was scarcely used to being in my 30s when WHAM! - you slapped me upside the head with the big 4-0. And two-and-a-half years have gone by since then - even though it only seems like a few weeks.
Why can't you ever allow us to just sit back and enjoy the current time, season, stage, phase we're approaching or - heaven forbid - actually in, Sir Time?
No, it's not enough that you're increasing gravity on me with each passing second, that you've hidden my short term memory, and that you stole my smooth facial skin and replaced it with wrinkles, blemishes and random whiskers - but last night, you viciously made the unkindest cut to date.
"Mom, you realize of course that I've known the truth about Santa Claus for about two years now. I was just always afraid you'd freak out if you knew I knew," said my son as I reached far behind me to dig Father Time's dagger out of my back.
My baby - in the full North Pole know? No more cookie crumbs strategically placed on the mantle, carrots carefully nibbled into nubs near the hearth, or half-gulped glass of milk curdling in the Christmas morning sun? Oh, the tragedy ... the sadness ... the innocence lost.
And just as I was about to throw in the towel and accept defeat, my little pal Samantha Phillips of Sebring gave me a philosophical shot of Botox.
Said Samantha, "Don't be sad, Patty. Just think of it this way - now Kyle will join you in focusing on the real reason for the celebration of Christmas. What could be better?"
Oh yeah, and take that, Father Time.

They were playing their second game in as many nights against the rested Vancouver Canucks. They dressed only 10 forwards because of injuries to Patrick Eaves (head) and Dan Cleary (groin). And they fell behind by two goals less than 14 minutes into the game.
But the Red Wings persevered. They peppered goaltender Roberto Luongo with 54 shots and, amazingly, scored a buzzer-beating goal for the second consecutive night.
Henrik Zetterberg whipped in a backhand shot with 0.3 seconds remaining in overtime to give his team a 4-3 win at General Motors Place.
"No quit,'' goaltender Jimmy Howard said. "We played until the final buzzer.''
On Friday, Brian Rafalski scored with 0.2 seconds left in regulation against Edmonton, sending the game overtime. The Red Wings lost 3-2 in a shootout, but this win eases the sting and sends them home from Western Canada with five of a possible six points and a two-point lead over the Calgary Flames for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
"We're playing like this is the playoffs for us right now,'' captain Nicklas Lidstrom said. "We're really in need of points, so this is a huge one for us.''
Todd Bertuzzi and Pavel Datsyuk scored 5 seconds apart in the second period, equaling the franchise record for the fastest two goals. Valtteri Filppula scored a shorthanded goal and added two assists.
Zetterberg had an assist to go along with his 20th goal of the season.
"Their (defenseman) broke his stick,'' Zetterberg said. "Fil put it onto me, so I had a step on him and I didn't know how much time was left, but it was enough.''
Said Lidstrom: "At the end, we had almost all four guys in their zone pinching in, going towards the net, looking for chances, rebounds. You saw the desperation come out at the end in the last couple of games.''
The Red Wings basically used three forward lines, occasionally playing defenseman Derek Meech up front. Defenseman Brett Lebda dressed but did not play.
"I thought we played real well,'' Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "Even when we were down 2-0, I thought we were the better team in the first period. Our guys just kept playing. Anytime you're on the road and you generate the amount of opportunities we did, we must have done a lot of good things.
"I thought Z and Pav were absolutely fantastic; Rafi (Brian Rafalski), Nick (too), and Fil had a real good night for us. We know we got to get points and I thought our guys played hard. I told our coaching staff I really thought we'd dig in here tonight.
"We outplayed them from the start to the end.''
Despite outplaying the Canucks by a wide margin early, the Red Wings trailed 2-0 until they finally got a break on Bertuzzi's goal at 12:34 of the second period.
Filppula threw the puck in front of the net from the side. It hit Kevin Bieksa's leg and sat in the crease. While the defenseman was searching for the puck, Bertuzzi whacked it into the net to end his 19-game goal-scoring drought, which dated back to Jan. 23.
"It was more fun scoring in this building (against his former team) than the relief of actually getting one,'' Bertuzzi said. "I just tried to get to the net for Z and Fil, and we had a handful of chances tonight.''
Then, off the ensuing faceoff, Datsyuk took the puck into the Vancouver zone and whipped a wrist shot from the slot past Luongo at 12:39 to tie the game and tie the club record for the quickest two goals (set by Tomas Holmstrom and Datsyuk on Nov. 24, 2007). It also is the fastest two goals allowed in Canucks history.
Filppula snapped the tie by scoring on a breakaway while shorthanded at 17:39. Defenseman Alex Edler stumbled at the Detroit blue line, enabling Filppula to break in alone and deposit a backhand shot past Luongo.
The Canucks applied heavy pressure at the start of the third period and tied it on Daniel Sedin's goal at 4:40. Sedin gloved a deflected pass from Bieksa, knocked the puck down and swatted it into the net.
The Red Wings outshot the Canucks 17-8 in the first period, controlling the play for a good portion of time in the offensive zone and getting some quality scoring chances.
But they trailed 2-0 after Vancouver scored twice on shots from the point through traffic.
After the Canucks killed an early penalty, Kyle Wellwood opened the scoring with a blast from the right point that found its way past a few bodies and through Howard's five-hole.
Shane O'Brien scored on a wrist shot from the left point at 13:38.
But there was plenty of time left for the Red Wings.
"It's a never-die attitude,'' Bertuzzi said. "Guys are playing well right now. We responded with a big two points.''

Jeremy Borash was born just outside Minneapolis, Borash started a career in broadcasting at the age of 15, hosting both a nightly radio talk show and live television show in the Twin Cities. Borash's radio show on KSMM in Minneapolis, and television show "Jeremy Borash Live!" won several Minnesota broadcasting awards, as well as leading to on-air positions at KSTP and KDWB in the Twin Cities.
After graduating from Brown Institute for Broadcasting in Minneapolis, Borash took a position at the age of 19 as a program director/morning show host at KOOL 92 FM in Fort Dodge, Iowa. His popular "Borash in the Morning" show featured a wide variety of entertainment, including such acts as actually hypnotizing local politicians on the air, skydiving from 13,000 feet over Fort Dodge, and his popular breakfast drive through, where Borash would personally deliver free breakfast to his listeners cars as they drove by. His involvement in local community activities included serving on the board of the United Way, as well as Honorary Chairman for the March of Dimes, which received national attention when Borash became the youngest person ever nominated for radio's prestigious Marconi Award for Broadcasting as America's Small Market Personality of the Year in 1996.
Career in radio[edit]
Upon receiving this honor, offers came from around the country, and Borash chose to move back to Minnesota, as morning show host of KXLP in Mankato, Minnesota. At 22, Borash lasted only four months in Mankato, citing major creative differences with management after a New York radio consultant directed the station to name his on-air persona "Flash Borash." Borash soon found redemption months later, as he helped launch the syndicated "Ruth Koscielak Show," and as co-host, was back on the very station group he was fired from months earlier through the show's midwest syndication. Borash returned to a radio show format as host of the "Impact Wrestling Podcast" with TNA Knockout Christy Hemme.
Professional wrestling career[edit]
Early career[edit]
While working weekdays on the Koscielak show in Minneapolis, Borash started a weekly Saturday morning wrestling show at the very station he started with at the age of 15. Through the show, Borash met internet wrestling pioneer Bob Ryder, who quickly pitched the show concept to Eric Bischoff of Ted Turner's World Championship Wrestling (WCW)
World Championship Wrestling (1999–2001)[edit]
In March 1999, WCW Live! premiered to an online audience with their first guest on the show, Hollywood Hogan. WCW Live! went on to become the most listened to streaming audio program in the world, often reaching 50k live audio streams nightly in an era of this new technology. While doing the nightly 2 hour internet show for WCW, Borash continued his stint on the Ruth Koscielak Show until August 1999, when he left Minneapolis to work full-time in the offices of WCW in Atlanta, where he went on to become one of the head writers for WCW Monday Nitro on TNT, as well as WCW Thunder on TBS.
Later that year, Borash premiered for the first time on WCW TV, co-hosting the year end special for WCW on TBS. Borash went on to make several appearances on WCW television as a play-by-play announcer for WCW Monday Nitro and WCW Thunder. His role eventually led to an on-air character as Vince Russo's stooge, including a memorable episode where Borash was attacked by Goldberg while driving Russo in his own pope-mobile vehicle at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.
World Wrestling All-Stars (2001–02)[edit]
After the WWF purchased WCW in March 2001, Borash met Australian concert promoter Andrew McManus and together they launched the World Wrestling All-Stars organization. Later that year, Borash left for Australia and worked out of the offices of McManus at Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia. The promotion's first tour of Australia concluded with a live pay per view from the Sydney Superdome called "The Inception", where Borash provided play-by-play commentary alongside Jerry "The King" Lawler. The WWA would go to produce numerous international tours, as well as live pay per view events from Las Vegas, Nevada, Glasgow, Scotland, Melbourne, Australia, and Auckland, New Zealand, with Borash serving as executive producer and host.
Total Nonstop Action Wrestling[edit]
Early years of TNA (2002–2006)[edit]
In March 2002, Borash returned to the United States to join Jeff Jarrett in launching TNA Wrestling in Nashville, Tennessee. As the second employee the company hired, Borash worked in several positions for the organization including ring announcer, video editor, and show writer.
Backstage interviewer (2006–2013)[edit]
In January 2006, Borash became the backstage interviewer for TNA's Impact! on Spike TV, a position he dreamed of as a child, watching his idol Gene Okerlund in the AWA growing up in Minneapolis. Since becoming backstage interviewer, Borash actually became involved with the kayfabe politics of TNA, as his respect for Kurt Angle led him to be a constant presence during many of Angle's backstage segments and even gained him membership into Angle's stable, the Angle Alliance. He was humorously Karen Angle's maid of honor at her wedding vows renewal to Kurt on the Valentine's Day edition of Impact!.
In April 2007, Borash launched TNA Today on TNAWrestling.com, a show he hosts from the TNA corporate offices.
In early 2008, Borash announced that Samoa Joe was voted the MVP of TNA. Joe then attacked Borash, thus (kayfabe) injuring him, which is why Borash began wearing a neck brace on television. Borash has gone on to become the host of Internet-based "TNA Spin Cycle" which airs on TNA's YouTube channel. On January 17, 2010, at Genesis new executive producer Eric Bischoff took Borash off television.[3][4] After Mick Foley agreed to work with Bischoff, Borash was brought back as the backstage interviewer on February 14 at Against All Odds.[5] At Sacrifice, Borash was made the new ring announcer. On June 14, 2010, Borash began working as the lead play-by-play commentator for TNA Xplosion.[6] He also worked as the color commentator beside Mike Tenay on July 10, 2011, at the Destination X pay-per-view.[7] On October 25, 2012, Borash and the debuting Todd Keneley began working as the announce team for the first hour of Impact Wrestling.[8] from June 12 edition of TNA Xplosion he started commentating with Mike Tenay. In 2012, along with Mike Tenay, he was there for his 10th year with the company. Borash assumed duties as TNA Wrestling's Director of Social Media, and took over the company's marketing online. Borash also was given the role as Executive Producer of the UK's Challenge TV exclusive "British Bootcamp", an acclaimed reality show featuring four aspiring UK wrestlers competing for a TNA contract. The show garnered high viewership and trended #1 in the UK on Twitter during its premiere episodes.
Commentary (2013–2014)[edit]
On the Destination X edition of Impact Wrestling, Borash had replaced Taz at the announcement table. In July, 2013, Borash returned to his radio hosting roots creating the "Impact Wrestling Podcast" with co-host TNA Knockout Christy Hemme. Borash is also a weekly guest on the nationally syndicated "Big Show with Johnboy & Billy" heard on dozens of radio stations across America.
Feud With Ethan Carter III (2014–2015)[edit]
While Interviewing Ethan Carter III, Borash was engaged in a feud with him after he interfered to help Rockstar Spud. While Carter and his bodyguard Tyrus tried to head shave the head of Spud but due to interference of Borash, that attempt was failed. Rather than shaving Spud, Carter and Tyrus decided to shave Borash. This event caused an alliance with Spud and Borash, with Borash saving Spud numerous other times from getting his head shaved. Ken Anderson and Mandrews would also start to help Spud as well. On the February 20 episode of Impact Wrestling, Borash, Anderson, Mandrews and Spud made an attempt to shave Carter's head but Tyrus saved him. Tyrus, instead got shaved by Spud.
Return to backstage interviewing (2015–present)[edit]
Since April, 2015 Jeremy Borash has been conducting backstage interview at PPV's, One Night Only Events along with Christy Hemme and some Impact taping material. In addition to this Borash is still lead commentator for Xplosion until Josh Mathews took over. Since Bound for Glory 2015, Jeremy Borash went on hiatus until returned to interviewing on January 5, 2016. Also in 2016 Jeremy Borash returned to Xplosion alongside Josh Mathews and took over ring announcer position full-time while Christy Hemme goes on hiatus on the March 21, 2016 Borash returned to Impact Wrestling commentary for the night after Lashley attacked color commentator The Pope.
Documentary of ECW and Hardcore Homecoming[edit]
While working for TNA, Borash took up video editing and producing, and with only a laptop and video camera, set out to make a documentary on ECW, the organization Borash credits for rekindling his childhood love for professional wrestling. "Forever Hardcore" led to Borash co-promoting Hardcore Homecoming, a reunion of ECW wrestlers in Philadelphia's famed Viking Hall, the place where it all started. The Hardcore Homecoming event still holds the record for the largest gate of any independent show in US wrestling history, and was considered a historical success for the era, culminating with a surprise barbwire rematch of one of the most famous matches in ECW history with Terry Funk vs Sabu vs Shane Douglas, with featured referee Mick Foley. The show led to a Hardcore Homecoming tour, and the show's DVDs broke Billboard's Top 10 Sports and Rec DVD releases. The recent release of Forever Hardcore and Hardcore Homecoming in the UK debuted at #1 and #2 on the Sports and Recreational charts, over two years after their US release. The show holds the largest gate in the history of the ECW Arena, as a complete sellout with tickets ranging from $99–$149, with premiums given to all fans attending.

There is a powerful temptation to fall back on hyperbole when writing about personal travel experiences. One's hotel was "superb." The food at a restaurant in Dubrovnik was "extraordinary." The guide in Buenos Aires was "non pareil." To be clear, we enjoyed our Navigator experience, but the following ratings are, I think, mercilessly accurate.
The food. Bountiful, always at least good, sometimes very good. You cannot prepare meals for 450 people, offering them a dozen or more choices, and rival the cuisine at any Michelin-starred restaurant. That said, a curry one night was excellent. Fish was always very good. Corned beef hash in the morning was perfect. Hot dogs (in particular) from the pool grill were excellent. A Mexican fiesta from the same source at lunch was great. (Though for my palate, Corona is the least singular of all of Mexico's cervesas.) We thought service was never less than good, with frequent rises to refreshingly concerned.
One lapse should be noted. If you plan to bring a Waterpik or other personal dental equipment have a care. In advance of the cruise, the Regent service desk assured us that outlets were available in the bathroom for 110volt (U.S.) appliances as well as shavers. Not so. On board, we asked for an extension cord to plug into the dressing table outlet which normally serves the 110volt hair dryer. After some consternation, this was furnished. The Waterpik whirred into life momentarily, and then fried. Could I be the only Regent passenger to travel with a Waterpik?
To reiterate, cabin stewardess, bartenders, waiters and dining room staff were uniformly agreeable, almost universally in a way that suggests attitude coming from the heart, as well as from training.
The ports. Our surprises were Grand Turk and Princess Cays. Our first trip to GT, though we had been to Provo a half-dozen times over the years. The cruise terminal is Disneyesque, and (thankfully) most passengers stay there. An enormous P&O vessel that dwarfed our trim little vessel was tied up across the pier, and disgorged more than 3,000 Brits at the same time as we disembarked. We rented a golf cart and puttered about the island, which is still recovering from hurricane Ike and, it appears, from the fraudulent activities of recently displaced government.
Princess Cays, which we visited as our last port of call because of weather, loomed as another re worse Grand Turk. After all, one could reasonably expect the marketing gurus at a cruise line to trade island ambiance for an American Idol image of the Bahamas. Not so. Our 400+ passengers were easily accepted among the carefully planted palms. We delighted in feeding the frenzied fish the stale bread that was provided. And the barbecue was low key and satisfying, though Corona was (alas) the only beer available. So, kudos to Regent (or whomever) for their restraint in keeping Princess Cay more or less akin to its natural character. Though note that the islet can accept as many as 3500 passengers at once, and what it feels like submerged beneath that wave of sun-burning humanity is anyone's guess.
So, where next? We would like to try a bigger ship on a longer cruise. Perhaps Regent Voyager? I think we would like a London to London cruise that touched at the Orkneys, Skye and other places a bit difficult to reach.
A question that more experienced cruisers virtually all of you might be able to answer. Why do per diem costs increase as the duration of a cruise increases? That seems counter intuitive to the way most things, travel included, tend to work.

Last year, District 6 wrestling was left with a black eye after Westmont Hilltop left the Team Duals early after a controversial loss to Mount Union in the semifinals.
The District 6 Duals quarterfinals begin tonight amid more controversy.
Second-seeded Mount Union was supposed to host seventh-seeded Glendale tomorrow night, but the Vikings have pulled out of the Duals because of an altercation between a Mount Union fan and one of the Viking wrestlers. Penn Cambria will instead wrestle at Mount Union.
An MU student hit one of the Glendale wrestlers as the teams were shaking hands after the Trojans' 49-27 win Thursday at Mount Union. It left the wrestler, whom Damiano didn't want to identify, with a bloody lip.
"It was a lack of security," Damiano said. "The crowd is on the mat after most matches. When the match is over and the teams are shaking hands, that's when you're at you're most vulnerable point."
Mount Union principal Curt Whitesel says the female student hit the wrestler because he made a comment to her and spat on her. Whitesel, who was dealing with the incident all day Friday, says other witnesses have backed up the student's story.
"I'm not condoning what she did," said Whitesel, who also serves on the District 6 athletic committee. "She was disciplined. She shouldn't have reacted the way she did, but kids react when they're spit upon. I'm sure they're going to say he didn't spit."
Emotions were already high after MU's Malakia Jackson pinned Craig Bickford at 189 and Jamel Fortson pinned Bobby Shepler at 215.
Damiano says his wrestlers thought they had baby oil on their bodies that came from the Mount Union wrestlers. Baby oil would make the wrestler using it slippery.
He brought that to the attention of referee Mark Aurand to no avail. When Damiano smelled the arms of those wrestlers to see if it was baby oil, a Mount Union fan took offense and charged out of the stands and, Damiano says, began yelling at the Glendale bench.
"Two of my bigger kids complained about having baby oil on their arms," Damiano said. "I didn't push it. I said, 'You lost, take a seat.' A lady charged out of the stands and verbally abused me and the kids."
The woman was removed from the building and called into Whitesel's office the next day.
"The fan was a mother, and she reacted to what she thought was a racial overture when the coach smelled the wrestler," Whitesel said.
Jackson and Fortson are both black.
"She was warned that if it happened again, she will be barred from athletic events."
When the pairings for the Duals were released, Glendale superintendent Dr. Pat Luksavich made the decision to pull out.
"We made the offer to drop down a seed and wrestle the number one seed [Huntingdon] or go to a neutral site to wrestle Mount Union," Damiano said.
MU athletic director Bill Shives said he also offered to use a neutral site or wrestle at Glendale. Ray Wotkowski, who heads the District 6 athletic committee, said a neutral site wasn't an option.
"Obviously, Glendale opted out of the tournament," Wotkowski said. "If there's a conflict, we look for the schools to remedy it. In the best interest of sportsmanship, we have to intervene. I would hope they would work it out."
Whitesel said he offered to be at the Duals match just in case something happened.
"I think Glendale is punishing their wrestlers," Whitesel said. "I assured them there would not be another incident. I feel bad for their kids."

Leonardo Drew
Born in Tallahassee, FL, 1961
Lives and works in San Antonio, TX
Day 29: Leonardo Drew
The cyclical nature of life–decay and resurrection–plays a central recurring role throughout Leonardo Drew's elaborate and enthralling installations and multilayered sculptures, which are often composed of found objects, wood, and fabrics. As gripping as Drew's large-scale works are, they can be enigmatic to the point of hermetic, forcing some viewers to question the validity of its artistry. Others are captivated by the suggestiveness and mystery of the works.
Watch this video of Leonardo Drew as he installs a work at Houston's Blaffer Gallery, and recalls being questioned about his art while working in Brazil.

LOCKPORT – An 18-year-old Niagara Falls man was sentenced Thursday to 17 years in state prison for killing his uncle last fall.
Darius M. Belton, 18, of South Avenue, had agreed to the sentence as part of a plea bargain for the Sept. 25 shooting of Luis Ubiles, 37, outside Belton's home.
Belton pleaded guilty April 16 to first-degree manslaughter; he was initially charged with second-degree murder.
"I don't hate you, but I'll never forgive you. Ask God for forgiveness," Chemelia Williams, Ubiles' fiancee, told Belton.
"I never intended for this to happen to my uncle," Belton said. "My uncle was like a father figure to me."
Belton said the shooting followed "a family dispute that spiraled out of control."
He was also indicted on a charge of illegal weapon possession.
Belton was standing on his front porch when he shot Ubiles with a handgun. Under New York law, it is not illegal to have gun in one's home or place of business if it is registered and the owner has a permit.
But in a pretrial ruling, Niagara County Judge Sara Sheldon Farkas said she intended to tell the jury that a porch is not part of a home. Her ruling deprived Belton of a key defense strategy for the gun charge, which alone carries a 15-year maximum prison sentence.
The ruling set up the plea deal.
Prosecutors had planned to ask for consecutive sentences, meaning that if Belton were convicted of the weapon charge and the murder charge, he risked a potential prison sentence of 40 years to life.
Defense attorney Angelo Musitano had planned to argue at trial that Belton killed Ubiles in self-defense.
"To suggest that this man for no particular reason did what he did is wrong," Musitano said. "He regrets every minute of what happened that day, and if he could take it back, he would."
"I never left my home," Belton said, adding that he thought he needed to protect his mother and sisters.
"I fired a shot to scare my uncle away," Belton said.
Williams, the victim's fiancee, did not buy it.
"Just like you show no remorse, I'm going to show no remorse for you," she told Belton. "I hope you enjoy your time in prison."

Yes, it evaluates left to right.
