However, some critics, such as Donald Turner, say that the statistics don’t tell the whole story Cross-border equity issues, which were extremely rare in the 1990's, are now commonplace In addition to that, Mr Turner says that being able to tap into U.S capital is good for the Canadian economy

A spokesperson for the Unlimited Virus Protection software firm has reportedly stated that his company has so far been unable to come up with a way to defeat the latest super virus, the California Virus This virus has been named for the location of where it was first detected, but it has not been discovered where it was created as it is so sophisticated that it can not actually be tracked by normal procedures

To date, this virus has supposedly caused nearly $1 billion in damage to computers worldwide including several prominent computer systems on Wall Street, DBC TV headquarters and at the Pentagon Due to this, the stock market took a drop of 300 points yesterday and it is expected to drop further when trading opens on Monday The White House has announced that federal funding could become available for those businesses with losses caused by this virus

Experts have been telling everyone to not accept any e-mail that comes from sources you are unfamiliar with, and do not provide any personal or financial information over the web This virus is similar to the dreaded Bicycle Virus which was discovered in 2003, but even more secretive It enters a computer system sometimes through e-mail, but not always Fire- wall software does not seem to keep it out The main problem that virus protection companies are having is that the virus seems to be able to attack computer systems a number of different ways by analyzing them for their weaknesses

104 s Down New England Shellfish Industry

Nearly every shellfish bed in New England has been shut down, due to what many consider to be the worst algae bloom the region has seen since the early 1970s For the third time in two years, large, red, dense patches of algae have appeared in coastal waters from Maine to Cape Cod This is a natural phenomenon known as "red tide.”

Red tide algae contain neurotoxins that can be poisonous to fish and other sea life

These toxins can be passed to animals, including humans, that feed on the contaminated creatures, causing serious intestinal and neurological disorders While the algae found in the northeast tend not to be as toxic as those found further south, the National Oceanic Bureau(NOB) has mandated the shutdown of all shellfish beds wherever the red tide has appeared, and sent scientists to monitor toxin levels up and down the coast

While the red tide phenomenon occurs naturally, many scientists believe it is happening more frequently because of nutrients running into the sea from industrial areas all along the New England coastline A 2000 NOB report examining the problem of nutrient over-enrichment in coastal waters concluded that human activity played a major role in raising oceanic algae levels, including species of algae known to

Questions 191-195 refer to the following review and e-mail message

Although “Drum It Up!” opened at the Paxson Theater four years ago, the excitement generated by this show makes it feel as if it were still brand-new In a nonstop two-hour performance, the audience is treated to a symphony of never-heard-or-seen-before rhythmic percussion and movement using non- standard instruments and choreography In the past four years, many shows have borrowed heavily from this Jesse Falk creation, but none match its freshness or creativity

Twelve performers are listed in the program, but Frannie Wilson is the only cast member from the original production Six equally talented “drummers” alternate each night to display their talents

Whether it is the strong percussiveness of Kevin Barry or the more comedic moments with Irene Glass, we are captivated with the action of each performer who is on stage The group interacts wondrously with each other, and they never miss a beat

“Drum It Up!” is a musical that appeals to a wide audience and is still highly recommended by this critic, who did not expect to be so re-inspired by such a long-running show

Created and directed by Jesse Falk Lighting by Walter Lissman Current cast: Regina Albert, Kevin Barry, Nadia Bocerros, Alejandro Diaz, Cynthia Donnelly,

Irene Glass, Eun-Joo Park, Gerry Russo, Valerie Siefer, Pavel Turner, Michele Vaccaro, and Frannie Wilson

After reading today’s paper, | came up with an idea for entertaining Mr Dumont and the rest of his group from Brussels when they’re in town the week of June 4-8 The last time Mr Dumont was here, he told me that he loved musicals and that he was an amateur drummer | think the show “Drum It Up!” would be perfect It’s been running at the Paxson Theater for four years now, and I’ve heard from several friends who have seen it that it’s quite good

If you agree that this is a good idea, could you please call the box office and reserve 10 tickets for the Wednesday, June 6 show? | know Mr Dumont said he’s coming with five people, and you and | only make seven, but just in case he arrives with a bigger contingent — as he did last March — we should have some extra tickets on hand And if ten is too many, I’m sure we can find some members of our team willing to enjoy a free night at the theater
