Report: Three More Arrested (And It’s Over)
Neighbors say three have been arrested in New Bedford in connection with the Boston Bombing suspect.
Police apprehended suspects from the Hidden Brook Apartments on Carriage Drive in New Bedford. Neighbors say they think that the girlfriend of 19-year-old Dzhokhar Tsarnaev may have lived in the complex and they have seen him in the area as recently as yesterday.

Embrace Hollywood
Michael Moore, 2004 – “Democrats need to embrace Hollywood because this is where they need to come to learn how to tell a story.”
“ALL OF IT,” said Robert Redford, when asked if he supported the bombings by The Weather Underground.
“The editorials that appear in this space represent the opinion of The StarPhoenix.”

Uproar over Health Council’s demise isn’t worth it
…Either you invest in co-operation to ensure there is a semblance of a national health system, or you don’t.
Our governments, federal and provincial, through their actions if not their words, have opted to not do so. Maintaining the Health Council of Canada in its current incarnation and in the absence of that commitment would amount to putting lipstick on a pig.

Beyond Junk
EUROPE’S flagship environmental policy has just been holed below the water line. On April 16th the European Parliament voted by 334 to 315 to reject proposals which (its supporters claimed) were needed to save the emissions-trading system (ETS) from collapse. Carbon prices promptly fell 40% (see chart). Some environmentalists fear that the whole edifice of European climate policy could start to crumble.

Canadians Win Bronze At Special Ops Competition
The elite Canadian Special Operations Regiment kicked some butt at the fifth annual Warrior Competition held in Jordan last month. The Canadians placed third after two teams from China.
The event is held every year at the King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Centre.
The impressive desert site boasts full-sized buildings, passenger planes and gas stations for situational drills including hostage taking and terrorist attacks.
Special ops soldiers and police use the spot to sharpen their skills to become the best of the best.
