http://arch1design.com/blog/?p=5404
At 680°F, Teflon pans release at least six toxic gases. These include two carcinogens (any substance or agent that tends to produce a cancer), two global pollutants, and MFA; a chemical lethal to humans at low doses. At temperatures that are reached on stovetop drip pans (1000°F), non-stick coatings break down to a chemical warfare agent known as PFIB, and a chemical analog of the WWII nerve gas, phosgene.(2)

Summer 2003
Ten years after cancelling its predecessor’s order for military maritime helicopters, the federal government is expected soon to formally request proposals for the replacement of the Sea King.
Three consortia plan to submit tenders in September for the $3-billion Maritime Helicopter Project (MHP) announced by then-Defence Minister Art Eggleton in August 2000. "Team Cormorant," led by the European company Agusta-Westland and including Canadian companies Bell Helicopter Textron Canada and CAE Inc., are proposing a variation of the EH-101 helicopter. The EH-101 is the model selected in 1992 during an earlier procurement process by the Conservative government and cancelled by the newly elected Liberal government in 1993.

The Jordan Valley is one of the most beautiful places of the West Bank, except for the people who live in it. Classified as Area C, Israeli occupation forces have imposed harsh restrictions on building and movement. Inhabitants, like the Bedouins of Al-Hadidiyeh, have become hunted on their own lands, spooked like wild animals.
