I never understood the all Sergei Fedorov hate. All the slightly crazy and very horny Russian ever did was help lead the Red Wings to 3 Stanley Cups, spending his best years in Detroit in what will probably end up as a hall of fame career. Yet many Wings fans prefer to crucify Federov, booing him unmercifully whenever he comes to town. Those fans were more than happy to see him go, and hold a grudge to this day.But what exactly is the grudge? Sergei left town after the '02-'03 season. You'd think time heals all wounds, but I'm not sure all Red Wings fans have healed, as the anger is still there. But what are they angry about? The thought that Fedorov never fully realized his potential? The forcing of Mike Ilitch's hand, and emptying one of his money filled vaults, by Fedorov's signing a "poison pill" offer sheet with Carolina? That he appeared to be more preoccupied with fame, than playing hockey?Whatever the reason, some Red Wings fans just won't let the hate go...Fedorov just doesn't

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Reliance Power, which made India's biggest-ever initial public offering of $3 billion last month, fell more than 13 percent after debuting at its IPO price 450 rupees on Monday. By 0435 GMT, the shares were down 5.2 percent at 426.50 rupees, while the benchmark BSE index was down 1.3 percent. Analysts had initially expected the share price to double at opening but stock market turbulence has lowered investor risk appetite and analysts then said a start of 75-150 rupees higher than the IPO price was more realistic. The utility, part of India's Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group, sold out within a minute of its IPO opening in January. The offer was subscribed 73 times, raising hopes the shares would make a big splash on listing. ($1 = 39.6 rupees)
First, a little bit of background. Throughout its history, Canada has always been more a collection of regions than a united country. Animosity between the French and the English is so entrenched that it has become part of our national fabric. Government after government has focused its agenda on appeasing the roughly 26% of Canadians who identify themselves as ‘French’. Social engineering has been part of Canada’s makeup, with such endlessly flawed concepts as forced bilingualism forever causing wedges to form between our peoples. The old adage ‘give them an inch and they’ll take a mile’ has become a tangible thing in this country. Successive Eastern-based federal governments have planted ill-fated policies that have led us right to a perpetually failing situation.In the United States, the state of Alaska is geographically removed from the mainland. Alaskans are by in large very independent thinkers. Oil is big there, as is their ability to cope with a harsh climate
BANGALORE (Reuters) - Beaten down Indian software services shares climbed on Friday after a rebound on Wall Street, but other stocks fell in choppy trade with many Asian markets closed for the Lunar New Year holiday keeping investors away. Shares in Infosys Technologies and Satyam Computer rose after Cognizant Technology posted a higher quarterly profit and forecast better-than-expected first quarter and fiscal 2008 revenue. By 10:58 a.m., the benchmark BSE 30-share index was down 0.49 percent, or 85.30 points, at 17,441.62, after having risen nearly one percent in early trade. Twenty-two of its components were in the negative. "We are in a wait-and-watch mode... until the uncertainty in the global markets comes to an end," said K.K.

All eight SAARC nations -- Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka -- have pledged to enhance cooperation in curbing wildlife trade in the region. According to an Environmental News Network (ENN) report, wildlife trade officials from SAARC countries met here last week and defined a series of joint actions under the new South Asia Wildlife Trade Initiative (SAWTI). The direction for the initiative was given by SAARC ministers at the Tenth Meeting of Governing Council for the South Asia Co-operative Environment Programme (SACEP) last year. South Asia is home to rare and prized wildlife species such as tigers, Asiatic lions, snow leopards, Asian elephants and one-horned rhinoceroses. International organized wildlife crime networks are often known to target these animals. “The agreement reached on SAWTI puts in place the foundations for a cooperative effort to crack down on illegal trade and to improve the management of wild animals and pl
aka me arguing with myself:Point: The Twins get 4 of the Mets' top 7 prospects.Counterpoint: But even Baseball America said that that wasn't enough for Johan Santana.Counter-counterpoint #1: Most sources are comparing the actual deal to the Yankees offer that included Philip Hughes, and the Red Sox offer that included Jon Lester and Jacoby Ellsbury. Hughes and Lester had been taken off the table, and some sources project Ellsbury to be only the next Dave Roberts.Counter-counterpoint #2: The Twins have always had a good eye for prospects. Santana was a Rule 5 pick, and they got Francisco Liriano, Joe Nathan, and Boof Bonser in return for AJ Pierzynski.Counter-counter-counterpoint (to #2): True, but the Pierzynski deal was Terry Ryan. Bill Smith is the new GM.Counter-counter-counter-counterpoint: Smith was Ryan's "right-hand man." So I wouldn't count him out yet, but it's probably too early to tell.Meanwhile, many pessimistic sources see the Yankees and Red Sox missing out on Santana

There isn't a magically sized Trade Show Display that works for everybody. Some need something larger to show off their company, something with Trade Show Flooring and other accessories, while others only need Tabletop Displays to show off their company. Fortunately, if you get your display from MODDisplays, you can get both in one place, along with all the accessories you'll need for either sized display. When you're getting ready for the next Trade Show and you realize you're ready for a new trade show display, check out MODDisplays and save yourself the time of looking at everybody else.I can't think of a good reason not to go and check them out right now. I'm pretty sure you'll be happy you took my advice.
Caribbean Holds Pressure:
By Tameka Lundy -
Nassau, Bahamas:
This week, Caribbean lobbyists were back on Capitol Hill in the United States telling an investigative panel how absolutely imperative it remains to have the Caribbean Basin Initiative acts extended to allow jurisdictions in this region continued trade preferences.
They were giving testimony at a public hearing of the United States International Trade Commission, a move that was suggested by U.S. Congressman Charles Rangel of the Ways and Means Committee as a means of properly identifying the ways that U.S. trade and aid policy can most help the Caribbean Basin.
“The OAS would support the renewal and extension of the CBTPA in order to lock in the continued benefits to those countries presently reaping strategic economic and political benefits within the present construct,” said Secretary General José Miguel Insulza.
He was one of several Caribbean officials who gave testimony before the panel and argued that endin

By Missy Ryan and Charles Abbott WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A shaky economy and the Iraq war may dominate President George W. Bush's State of the Union address on Monday, but the lame-duck leader is also expected to mention farm legislation and pending trade deals that are bread-and-butter issues for America's farm economy. The State of the Union, which will be broadcast around the world, has in the past been a platform to send messages to foreign capitals on pressing issues like national security. The 40-plus-minute speech also gives the president a vehicle for speaking to a more local audience on issues that normally do not make the headlines, like agriculture. "That means taking credit for the recently enacted expansion of renewable energy, laying down a marker on expectation for farm policy, and pleading for action" on trade deals, said Gary Blumenthal, an analyst at World Perspectives. The speech comes as Bush and Congress square off over the farm bill, the $286 bil

I have included an obituary of Jim Reddell for a number of reasons, he was a dying breed in the British Labour Party, working class, trade unionist, absolutely loyal to the Party and Country through thick and thin, conservative with a small c, yet well to the left of most of todays Labour MPs. The likes of Jim were to be found in almost every Constituency LP in the land, up until Tony Blair became leader that is. Hard working, first rate local councillors who new the people they represented like the back of their hand, in their time they sorted out more personal problems than the average CAB advisor of today. Yet Blair and his ilk had no use for them and moved them aside to make way for middle class New Labour wide-boys/girls who were passing through and had no interest in the people that Labour had been founded to represent. Indeed alongside the demise of the likes of Jim Reddell came the demise of the British Labour Party as a vehicle for progressive changeI will also admit to a pe

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Trade in the world greenhouse gas credits market rose 80 percent last year as emissions rules became a concern for more companies, a carbon analysis group said on Friday. Global carbon credit trade rose to $60 billion in 2007, from $33 billion the previous year, according Point Carbon, an Oslo-based group of greenhouse gas analysts and consultants. Total traded volume in the global market reached 2.7 billion tonnes of greenhouse emissions reductions in 2007, a 64 percent jump in the same period. The UN's climate panel last year squarely blamed human actions for global warming. Carbon trade allows companies that have cut emissions under a set limit to sell credits representing the reductions to slower-moving players. It is seen as a major way to spur clean technologies that are hoped to slow and then decrease global emissions. The United States, the world's largest greenhouse gas polluter, has not yet regulated the gases scientists blame for warming the pla

TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese stocks closed at their highest in nearly two weeks on Tuesday as investors picked up recently pressured shares such as Sony Corp, encouraged by a softening yen and after news from Merrill Lynch prompted a rally on Wall Street. But trade was thin and gains were limited as many institutional investors were away for Christmas holidays. The benchmark Nikkei average ended the day up 1.9 percent or 295.59 points at 15,552.59, the highest close since Dec. 12. The broader TOPIX index gained 1.8 percent or 26.83 points to 1,496.03, its highest finish since Dec. 14. The Tokyo market had a full-day session on Tuesday, while most Asian markets, including Hong Kong and Singapore, were closed for Christmas.

Dave Hallsworth, who has died aged 78 of bone cancer, was a working-class activist who joined the Communist Party while on active service in Korea, but resigned in 1956 after the suppression of the Hungarian uprising. He finally found a political home within the small Revolutionary Communist party.Born in Manchester, he left school at 14 and joined the Royal Navy as a boy sailor. He was discharged after being jailed for a month for trying to organise sailors on a warship. Years of trade union work followed and in 1981 Dave led a long and bitter strike against redundancy at the engineering company of Laurence, Scott and Electromotors, in Openshaw, Manchester, where he worked. The strike featured in Ken Loach's banned Channel 4 documentary, Questions of Leadership (1983).Dave was secretary of the Tameside TUC Trades Council at a time when the Trades Council Movement was near its peak, TTC supported many of the most pressing issues of the day and unlike many labour movement organizations

Yes it’s another Detroit Tigers post, but things are kind of exciting right now after that big deal went down earlier this week.

FYI Tigers fans...Player blog alert! It looks as if Curtis Granderson will have some blogging competition.Yardbarker was kind enough to point me to the new "Dontrelle Willis Blog," where he gives his thoughts about his trade to the Motor City. His feelings were definitely mixed as first, but he's warmed up to the idea of playing in Motown.Personally, I'm looking forward to seeing the D-Train perform. I'm expecting big things with the change of scenery, and his pitching for a MUCH better team.
I'm sure that I've ever seen the trained "Journalists" in total lockstep over a single issue before. That's changed as of 6:15 pm, December 5, 2007.It's unanimous, the local MSM loves the Tigers' brash boldness in trading for Miguel Cabrera and Dontrelle Willis. The Tiger love is overwhelming...The Little Fella, who has been unusually prolific as of late, is effusive in his praise...The Tigers' lineup -- with Cabrera, Renteria, Guillen, Magglio Ordonez, Gary Sheffield, Placido Polanco, Pudge Rodriguez, Jacque Jones and Curtis Granderson -- is shaping up to be a brick-smasher. And with Willis, Justin Verlander, Jeremy Bonderman, Nate Robertson and recently re-signed Kenny Rogers, well, nothing shabby about that rotation."It's a feather in the cap of the farm systems that we could make this trade," Leyland said. "To me, the scouting director is the hero of the night."But that "boom" is the memory of it. Happy early Christmas, Tigers fans.How long until April?And a Happy New Year!Drew Sha
Has there ever been a crazier few hours for Tigers fans than yesterday afternoon?The news first broke that the Tigers were in trade talks with the Marlins around 12:30 in the afternoon. I, as did most of us, spent the rest of the day refreshing our browsers, and vigilantly listening for any news on the radio and TV.Around 5 PM, the MSM was telling us that the talks with Detroit were just a Marlins ploy to force the Angels hand in trade talks. The Tigers supposedly didn't have the ammunition to compete with the Angels offer. It wasn't going to happen, and hopes were deflated. The news was just too good to be true.If you felt an earth tremor at 6:15 last night, that was the jaws of baseball fans hitting the floor all around the country, as Peter Gammons announced on Sportscenter that the Tigers and Marlins had agreed in principal in a BLOCKBUSTER trade. Detroit acquired Miggy Cabrera and the D-Train, Dontrelle Willis, from Florida, in return for 5 prospects, including super prospect And
