| Every airport traveller 'will be fingerprinted'
But lets remind ourselves that the present world situation has been brought about by Bush and Blair, and the do gooders over the years who carved out the state of Israel from Palestine, and made Arabs and Muslim the enemy. Our British Muslim young men see this countries foreign policy as being set against the arab world;and they themselves then go to the Muslim Schools in Pakistan and become brain washed to be martyrs. Let our government, that is the whole parliament, not Blair alone engage in sensible dialogue with the arab nations, and bring Israel to book to observe all UN resolutions. Only then shall we begin to have some kind of peace and understanding, and folk be able travel the world again in security and peace. .

Talisman will collect performance data, look for ways to reduce costs and develop operating procedures over five years to examine the feasibility and benefits of creating a future commercial deepwater wind farm at this site [2]. Compared to conventional shallow water offshore windfarms that cost about $2 million per MW installed [3], the fixed-pile foundation Talisman project at $5.8 million per MW is almost three times as expensive and prohibitively uneconomical in the near term. In a cautious statement Talisman Energy has said "current forecasts for electricity prices will never render this Demonstrator Project economic. It is an R&D project, not a commercial one, and as such requires public sector funding in order to proceed." Furthermore, they say it is impossible, at this stage to give any definitive answer regarding the go ahead for the commercialization of this project "but it certainly should not be regarded as inevitable." [4] For even deeper water installations from 600 to 2,000 feet, anchored floating platforms are envisioned.

Since she was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2004, Hetty Hazenberg has struggled for survival in two worlds - one of conventional medicine that focused on operations, chemotherapy and radiation, and the other of alternative medicine that considered her mind, spirit, and soul. More than three years later, the 38-year-old Dutch-born North Vancouver resident feels she has found the right balance, including a new job, a new outlook on life, and a foot in each medical camp. "I believe the two go hand in hand," says Hazenberg, who will undergo more testing next month. "I needed an operation, but there is so much we can do ourselves. We can't just focus on the body. We all have a mind, soul and spirit that needs to be healed, too." .
Blair distances No 10 from attack on veils
That is probably not her intention but it is the effect of what she's doing. I know enough to be aware that for many girls and women, covering up is a symbol of pride and empowerment, not oppression. But I think it's a step too far and we ought to be grown up enough as a society for non-Muslims to say to Muslims what we think about this - not to tell Muslim ladies that they can't wear the veil, but to ask them to think of the feelings of the rest of us. .
