| Pevelski, Sharks rally past woeful Leafs
Mats Sundin's No. 13 jersey competed with Joe Thornton's No. 19 teal shirt as the most popular outfit on the concourse. After the Toronto fans loudly cheered "O Canada," their team scored in the opening minutes when Nabokov got caught behind his net. Sundin collected the puck and fed Antropov in the slot for his 17th goal. Kubina added a power-play goal early in the second period. San Jose had little offensive life until Marleau scored on a slap shot that deflected off Toronto defenseman Hal Gill's stick in the slot early in the third period. Marleau has disappointed coach Ron Wilson this season, scoring just eight goals - including none in the Sharks' previous seven games. Rivet's tying goal went through several players in front, giving the defenseman three goals during a four-game scoring streak.
Burundi: Peace Process Hampered By Political Crises - UN Report
Ban also voices concern over the worsening overall security situation and ongoing human rights violations. Welcoming the appointment of an inclusive Government earlier this month, he commended President Pierre Nkurunziza "for the leadership and the flexibility in ending the political crisis that had heightened tensions and delayed the implementation of key peace consolidation tasks." To meet high expectations - both national and international - the new Government must endeavour to address the challenges Burundi faces in its reconstruction efforts, the report notes. In July, the Palipehutu-FNL, the last major rebel hold-out group, withdrew from the Joint Verification and Monitoring Mechanism set up to monitor a ceasefire it signed with the Government last year. "There is an urgent need for the resumption and early implementation of the comprehensive ceasefire agreement within an overall political framework that addresses the concerns of the Government and FNL," Mr.
Great Decisions 2005 Teacher's Guide
This item has sold out. The 2005 Great Decisions Teacher's Guide is intended to help instructors better prepare students for their role as citizens of a globally interdependent world. The Teacher's Guide is a supplement to the eight critical foreign policy topics in the 2005 Great Decisions Briefing Book and is intended for teachers of students from junior high school on up. The concept for the Teacher's Guide was the result of a two-year study by a cadre of master teachers in global education in conjunction with students and world affairs activists. The lessons are designed to encourage students to explore multiple policy options, ethical questions, the personal aspects of political events and the connections linking American society with the larger world.
Striking Writers Reach Deal With UA
Striking Hollywood writers have reached a deal with Tom Cruise's production outfit United Artists Films to resume working while the strike continues against other studios. The deal announced Monday was the first reached with big-screen producers by the Writers Guild of America, which has been on strike since Nov. 5. Terms were not disclosed. "United Artists has lived up to its name. UA and the writers guild came together and negotiated seriously. The end result is that we have a deal that will put people back to work," said Patric M. Verrone, president of the Writers Guild of America, West. The guild said the agreement addresses key issues of writers, who walked off the job over their cut of potential profits from programming on the Internet and other new media.
Chris Matthews
See Bonus Coverage at foot: "Clinton campaign spent 24 hours slicing and dicing each other." Could the great irony be that the strong woman won because . . . people felt sorry for her? That's not just some right-wing media critic talking. It's a view emerging from left-wing circles. Apparently the libs are angry that the MSM was too biased towards Obama, so much so that it drove people to Hillary out of spite or sympathy. Take the comments of Air America host Rachel Maddow during last night's MSNBC election coverage, in a remarkable exchange with Pat Buchanan and Chris Matthews. Who has been singled out for blame by the lefty blogosphere? None other than Matthews himself, who regularly waxed euphoric about Obama, going so far as to claim a week ago that an Obama victory in Iowa would be the greatest story of the century.
Cowboys' QB Romo enjoying his star power
The inquisitor was Cowboys cornerback Terence Newman. His questions were irrelevant, bordering on the absurd, and gave the news conference the feel of a Saturday night outside some high-society Manhattan nightclub.
Basically, Newman fit right in. Romo's 12-minute news conference was part Sports Reporters, part E! Television, and the lines between the two became increasingly blurred as things progressed.
The day's primary topic was the focus of the Cowboys' most important player for the franchise's most important game in more than a decade, Sunday's playoff game against the Giants.
Romo, as you may have heard, spent his bye weekend with pop star Jessica Simpson in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, with celebrity gossip Web site photos to prove it.
When former coach Bill Parcells, who elevated Romo last season from mostly anonymous backup to starter, departed the Cowboys for yet another short-lived "retirement," he left behind a to-do and to-don't list.
