Storyline: Caps goaltender Jose Theodore has been decent (32-17-5, 2.87 GAA, .900 save percentage), but not great. Rangers' Henrik Lundqvist has been slightly better (24-11-4, 2.58 GAA, .910 SP), but the Swede has had little help most nights. We're not sure that's going to change now unless [Chris Drury] and [Scott Gomez] start earning their paycheques. Secondly, the Sharks have a history of playoff meltdowns, despite glorious regular seasons. And thirdly, Randy Carlyle's Ducks have peaked just as they did in 2006, their Stanley Cup championship summer. So this has upset written all over it. True, when you throw in the resurgence of Sharks forward Patrick Marleau (38 G, 71 pts) to complement big Joe Thornton (86 pts) and Devin Setoguchi (65 pts), along with the underrated Evgeni Nabokov...

The Bobcats came back from 14 points down in the third quarter and posted a frenetic rally for a 78-76 victory over Regina in the deciding game of the best-of-three Great Plains Division final Sunday at the BU Gymnasium. The third-year Regina shooting guard, who has been the favourite whipping boy of raucous BU crowds and has struggled with his stroke in that gym, hit six three-pointers, and had 20 points, in the afirst half.

[Mark Tayfel] and six American fishers were injured when both of the plane's engines cut out shortly after Tayfel missed his first attempt at landing at Winnipeg International Airport. The plane came to rest on Logan Avenue just west of McPhillips Street. Tayfel had taken off earlier that morning from a northern fishing lodge without enough fuel on board to get to his destination. [Balfour Der] said they are considering an appeal of [Holly Beard]'s decision to convict Tayfel and suggested Tayfel's employer at the time of the crash, Keystone Air, should have also been held liable and that his client has been made the "whipping boy" for an industry fraught with problems. They're not here in court supporting Mr. Tayfel. They headed for the hills," Der said outside court. He was encouraged...

Canada's "socialist" health system is the favourite whipping boy of anti-reform lobbyists, who employ fear-mongering and myths about rationing, waiting lists and lack of choice to persuade the American public to accept their status quo as better. As Canadians, we agree that Canada's health system is not perfect. We have said so many times in CMAJ. Nevertheless, it takes only a few comparisons to show how much better Canada's health system is than that of the United States -- and how much Americans could hope to gain from embracing reform. Yet the attacks are so absurd and full of fantasy that they would be laughable -- if not for the fact that many Americans believe them. Canadians do not, in fact, conduct euthanasia on our elderly. If we did, then Canadian life expectancy would hardly ...

One of the reasons that Canada is a climate culprit is its failure to meet the climate reduction goals it agreed to at Kyoto. Canada is not the only villain, of course, but with the increasing determination of the government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper to stand firm on the development of the Alberta oil sands and its continuing insistence that environmental sacrifices cannot interfere with economic development, there is hardly anyone who is not willing to regard Canada as the Little Whipping Boy of Copenhagen. While Canada may be singled out for abuse, the climate conference appears to surrounded by confusion, which does not bode well for a final conclusion that will take the world beyond Kyoto.

During the past 30 years, the challenges facing the valuation profession have been many: globalization and increased levels of cross-border economic activity; competition from other professions; the status of the profession; technology; fair value reporting, and the financial crisis. Amidst these challenges, the profession has a major success story to celebrate -- the International Valuation Standards Committee (IVSC). The IVSC success in setting international standards has led to greater recognition of the valuation profession and wider understanding of valuation's importance. IVSC made an important strategic decision to ensure that, whenever an asset was to be measured to fair value under IFRS, the measurement standard to be applied should be the International Valuation Standards (IVS...
