This signature home is beachside with it's own private infinity pool and volleyball court. The property is adjacent to Pranamar, Costa Rica's most exclusive 5 star yoga resort where guests of The White House can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner at their world class restaurant Buddah Eyes, and enjoy their beachfront bar.

Featured in 2010 in both Conde Naste Traveller and Su Casa (Central and South America's leading architectural magazine), The White house is the perfect beach getaway for the discriminating traveller.
Exquisite design, and all your creature comforts, along with contemporary art, furnishings, and appliances, and a location on one of the world's most beautiful and private beaches, will give you and your friends and family, the ultimate Costa Rican experience.

Recent Review
Just as superb, if not better, in the off-season
Not to mention, being an event planner by trade I have noted, the house is uniquely set-up perfectly to host a small to mid-size wedding or special event. The way the kitchen is designed, the entry, the view and the back lawn facing the ocean, suitable to bring in tables and seat away. Use the Master suite for the bride/groom + family and the two villas for the wedding party. If you need catering, there are many wonderful chefs in town. Ask Mario, the house manager for my specific recommendations. Then hire me as your event producer - as I will fly down from the states. I know all the locals and speak the language. ~your bon vivant.

Simply Amazing
This was our first proper vacation in two years and every bit worth the wait.
The pictures and descriptions of The White House simply don't do it justice. There is a certain air about this beautiful home that transcends images and words. There is no way not to relax – to put the craziness of the "real world" behind you as you open the giant, hardwood door and cross the threshold into this post-modern masterpiece.
Upon our arrival, we were greeted with open arms by Tanîa, who went above and beyond our expectations by assuring the refrigerator, pantry and water cooler were stocked exactly to our request. Her presence during our visit would prove invaluable as she happily arranged for excursions, taxis and the general needs of our party of eight throughout our visit. She and the rest of the staff made us feel at home and are reason enough for a return visit – sooner than later.
The house is elegant yet livable, comfortable, and nicely appointed and we loved the artwork. Need a break from the heat? The air conditioning works perfectly. For most of us, the swimming pool and evenings on the beach watching the sunset was the perfect foil to the Costa Rican sun. I understand there is a television in the "TV Room," but I can't imagine wasting a moment of the amazing surf, sandy, trees, wildlife, swimming pool and sunsets to turn it on.
Want to get out of the house for a bit? There are plenty of fun shops, restaurants and watering holes to fit any budget or taste. Most of the locals we met spoke very good English, and those who didn't were patient with our broken Spanish. To round things off, portions are plentiful and everything is reasonably priced – particularly for a tourist economy.
One exception for us was the restaurant next door. Pranamar's decor and ambiance is second to none. You should experience breakfast, lunch or dinner overlooking the reflecting pool at least once. This place is tranquil and romantic, but for our taste, the service and food quality is lacking for the price point.
Our stay lasted one week, but the experience will last a lifetime. If you're planning a visit to Costa Rica, you should stay at The White House. The country is hot, the house is as cool as it gets, and the people will have you missing this place the moment you leave.
Best. Vacation. Ever.
1. The service granted us was simply fantastic. You can be sure that whatever your needs are, you will be accomodated by intelligent, kind souls.. who are on top of everything.
2. The best recommendation we can give is that we rented this house for 8 days.. and then booked one month for 2014 because it was the best holiday of our lives. It does not
get better than this.. and we are discriminating guests
Enjoy it. Please don't book the entire year on us in 2015.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Getting a review like this makes us realize how lucky we are to be able to live here in paradise but most importantly to be able to share it with others. I am well traveled person too and I know how precious vacation time is. That is our goal, to be able to provide our guests with the best holidays of their life. I can't wait to see you next year and have you experience the "pure life" one more time.
Pura Vida.
Thank you so much for your review. It was great to have you and your family enjoying the place. Torsten said you all had a great night together. I am happy to hear you had such a good time and I look forward to your next visit.
Pura vida!

From the Owner
"The windows provide so much light, until the sun goes down, we never need to turn any lights on. We have a beautiful beach right in front of the house, but what's nice is we have a great and very large tide pool area to the left and surfing for all levels not far to the right of us. One of the owners loves to cook on the grill, while the other owner fancies preparing food in the ocean front kitchen so he has a direct view of the waves."

An unlikely matchup over safety and money
But the deeper problem is that all of our previous work could be for naught if WEBA is approved because there would be no incentive for SDG&E to become a safer, model utility in Southern California, as we believe it could become. Our work to make us all safer could be trumped by taking SDG&E off the financial hook and putting customers on that hook.
We fought really hard for the two Public Participation Hearings that will be held today at the Al Bahr Shriner's Center, 5440 Kearny Mesa Road, San Diego, from 2 to 5 p.m. and from 6 to 10 p.m. so you can tell the CPUC what you think of this scheme. You should have received an Important Meeting Notice card in the mail that the commission ordered SDG&E to distribute.
We hope that you will find the time to attend and tell the CPUC why you think this WEBA scheme is not good for you and your family's safety and should be denied. We look forward to seeing you there.
Conklin, spokeswoman for the Mussey Grade Road Alliance, has been an intervenor for six years at the CPUC on issues regarding fire.

Survivalist surrenders in Utah mountains
MANTI, Utah For six years Troy James Knapp eluded authorities, who say he moved from cabin to cabin across the Utah mountains, taking food and weapons and leaving notes to brag about it.
It all ended Tuesday as authorities made what they say was a surprisingly easy capture outside a remote cabin after the suspect fired off a few harmless shots.
"He was laughing with our guys. He said, `Boy, you really snuck up on me,'" said Sevier County Sheriff Nathan Curtis. "He threw his rifle down in the snow and said, `You got me.'"
The 45-year-old survivalist is suspected of burglarizing dozens of Utah cabins and leaving notes telling owners to "get off my mountain" and warning county sheriffs he was "gonna put you in the ground!"
Iron, Kane and Garfield counties have all issued arrest warrants for Knapp on burglary and weapons charges. More charges are expected, including counts of shooting at a police helicopter and officers on the ground during his capture.
Knapp does not yet have an attorney.
The self-styled "Mountain Man" looked sullen as he was walked into Sanpete County jail late Tuesday, already in jail garb from a quick stop at another lockup. Sanpete County prosecutor Brody Keisel said Knapp will have his first court appearance in Manti within days on a number of felony charges.
Curtis said Knapp has an impressive memory and was eager to recite his travels and break-ins while showing maps and bragging that authorities knew only half the story.
Authorities believe Knapp lingered around the snowy mountains outside Ferron - about 125 miles southeast of Salt Lake City - since last fall and took shelter at cabins in the middle of the Manti-LaSal National Forest.
"It is a relief to know that he has been caught," said Eugene Bartholomew, the owner of a cabin broken into recently at Ferron Reservoir under the wind-swept Wasatch Plateau. "If he slept in the beds, that's fine with me. As long as he didn't tear up the place."
Bartholomew was planning a trip to inspect his cabin.
No one was wounded before Knapp was captured after a brief effort to flee on snowshoes from dozens of officers who converged on snowmobiles and a snowcat, Sanpete County Sheriff Brian Nielson said.
Authorities said Knapp was armed with a rifle and a handgun while wearing camouflage clothes and sporting a graying red beard.
Authorities got a Good Friday tip from a pair of hunters who had a chance encounter in the area with someone who introduced himself as a "mountain man," Curtis said.
Authorities from several counties spent the weekend planning a search for Knapp. A surveillance party led by Emery County Sheriff Greg Funk quietly approached Ferron Reservoir by snowshoe at 1 a.m. Tuesday.
"They could hear him chopping wood," Curtis said.
Nine hours later, with the help of the helicopter, they flushed the suspect out of a cabin where he was barricaded. Knapp tried to take off in the woods.
"He walked into a line of guys with guns and realized he was done," U.S. Forest Service Officer Scott Watson said. "We were so happy it turned out the way it did."

An exceptional holiday experience in Vancouver! The condo was beautiful and well equipped for a great week. The place was impeccable, the location couldn't have been better, from walking to Stanley Park to attending a hockey game at Rogers Center. Thankfully the weather was sunny and clear so the views were magnificent. There is a new condo project being built across the street which is hard to miss when looking out the window, but it is not a big deal. Finally, the owner Mark is great to work with. He was clear in his communications and made the experience effortless. We'll definitely be back!
My family and I spent 3 nights in this terrific apartment. My wife could not stop taking pictures of the views outside and of course the interior of the apartment. My children loved it. The location is very convenient to get to anywhere even by walking. We would come back again in the near future. Thank you Mark!
The TRUONG Family
The condo is just as it appears in the photos, with lots of high end finishes, as one would expect. The unobstructed sunsets from the living room and the balcony, with a glass of wine, were highlights of the stay. Mark is excellent to deal with and met us upon our arrival. The downtown location is close to restaurants and a short walk from Granvile Island and Stanley Park. There is an Urban Market grocery in the adjacent building that has all your require, if you wanted to cook. But why cook, when there are so many great restaurants on your doorstep. The onsite concierge was very helpful with shopping(a short walk to a plethora of stores) and restaurant suggestions. We never made it to the gym/pool/spa, apart from a quick look, but all were very well equipped. We stayed for 4 nights and hated to leave. I wouldn't stay anywhere else in Vancouver.
This apartment is exceptional. The location is perfect. It's an easy walk to the city center metro station. the complex sits on a major bus route. There is a grocery downstairs. You can't get a better home base. And, the views!
This condo did NOT disappoint! Stayed at many other places downtown and this is as good as it gets. Location, amenities, furnishings, cleanliness, and the views (Wow factor) can't be beat! Owner was a great guy, already planning a return visit.
This condo is amazing in so many ways. The space is bright and roomy, the furnishings are luxurious, the amenities are fabulous and the views are unparalleled anywhere in the city. The condo is well stocked with basics and has top of the line appliances so cooking is easy. The layout is open so that everyone is included in the socializing and every room has spectacular views. This condo definitely has WOW factor!
We had no problems getting the keys or finding our way around the Shangri-la. The condo entrance is right on Alberni so it's close to shopping, the waterfront and the best restaurants. Everything is in walking distance.
The owner is a wonderful, warm person and made sure to be there when we arrived so that he could answer any questions and walk us through the place.
This is a spectacular property in every sense and staying here is a joy.

Unresolved in Honduras
- By José R. CárdenasJose R. Cardenas was acting assistant administrator for Latin America at the U.S. Agency for International Development in the George W. Bush administration.
News of a negotiated "resolution" to the crisis in Honduras is no doubt being met with rounds of diplomatic back-slapping across the hemisphere, but such celebrations would be a bit premature. In other words, we'll be lucky if this is the last we hear of Manuel Zelaya. [Full disclosure: I helped a Honduran business delegation travel to Washington in July 2009 to brief U.S. policymakers on the crisis there.]
Negotiations to end the crisis that began June 28 when the oligarch-turned-leftist populist was legally deposed have culminated with agreement on, primarily, the creation of a national reconciliation government; no amnesty for political crimes; international recognition of the November 29th presidential elections; renunciation of any effort to organize a constitutional assembly to rewrite the Constitution (Zelaya's mimic of Hugo Chavez in contravention of Honduran law that led to his removal); and a call to the international community to lift economic sanctions against Honduras.
But on the most controversial point of the whole affair whether to unconditionally reinstate Zelaya to office to serve out the rest of his term, as he has been demanding and the interim government has steadfastly refused the negotiators punted. Actually, they tossed that hot potato back to the National Congress, which must now vote on his return, in consultations with the Supreme Court.
These are the same institutions that Zelaya has been confronting and antagonizing for the past year. The same National Congress that back in June voted nearly unanimously (including members of Zelaya's own party) in favor of a decree censuring Zelaya for "repeated violations against the Constitution and laws of the Republic." And the same Supreme Court that ordered his arrest by the military for his illegal actions and disregard for their rulings.
So, even while we'll have to wait and see what happens, it would certainly seem unlikely that there would be such a profound change of heart in these two institutions to see fit to restore him to office, if only for a few months.
And then what? If they maintain their opposition to Zelaya's return to office, will Zelaya respect their verdict?
The answer is a likely a resounding "no". Recklessness and provocation have defined Zelaya's tenure in office. Egged on by Hugo Chavez, with the assistance of the Cuban security apparatus, Zelaya is not about to go gently into that good night should Congress and the Supreme Court uphold their opposition to his returning. He has already demonstrated he has the capacity and the will to put his personal interests over the national well-being. One shudders at the thought of the chaos he can still create.
This puts a special onus on the Obama administration. Obviously, what opened the door to the compromise was their dropping of their ill-advised ultimatum that Zelaya's return was unconditional and that the administration would not recognize the results of the November elections unless Zelaya was reinstated — a position that put them on the same side of the issue as Chavez and Fidel Castro.
But now they are on much more solid ground putting the final verdict on Zelaya back in the hands of the Honduran people and their representatives in Congress. This means that once that verdict is rendered, they need to immediately provide full support for the elections, and, more importantly, prevent Zelaya from any attempts to bring the whole temple down around him.
Even if in the unlikely event the courts and Congress move to reinstate Zelaya, he will still need to be closely watched so that he causes no more damage to the country, and the Obama administration, as brokers of this deal (three senior officials were in Honduras this week), bear a special responsibility on this.
The Honduran crisis is not over, but the administration has at least moved away from its untenable early stance and is in a much better position to affect a positive outcome.
What happens after the Nov. 29 election is another story. The administration's initial aping of the Chavez line on Honduras will not be soon forgotten across the hemisphere. A situation where a small, pro-American country attempted to stop a Chavez wannabe from running roughshod over its democratic institutions and installing himself in perpetual power was not met with support from the United States, but outright opposition and retribution. In this way, the stark differences with Chavez in our vision for this hemisphere statism and class conflict versus freedom and opportunity for all were regrettably blurred. The citizens of the Americas need a clear alternative to the snake oil that Chavez is selling and by muddying that distinction, let's hope we haven't done too much harm to our interests in our own neighborhood.

Proton centers may complement, not compete
The Illinois experience
Those questioning whether two proton therapy centers can hold their own in the same area can look to Illinois.
Two years ago it appeared Chicago-area residents would have two centers, making Illinois the only place in the country with neighboring facilities.
No problem, said state regulators and representatives from both projects.
In 2008, the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board issued certificates of medical need for Northern Illinois University to build a proton therapy center in West Chicago and for ProCure Treatment Centers to build one 10 miles away in Warrenville, said board spokeswoman Melanie Arnold.
Illinois requires documented need before a facility can be built.
ProCure told state regulators that there are 60,000 new cancer cases in Illinois each year, with as many as 13,000 potential proton therapy patients.
Its $160 million center would handle about 1,500 people per year, said Jim Williams, president of CDH Proton Center, A ProCure Center.
"There's no doubt about it that the Chicago area can support two of these, if not four," Williams said.
The university has put its $159 million project on hold until the bond market improves, said project spokesman Nathan Brown.
"We're still planning to build a treatment and research center," he said. "The state regulators clearly saw a demand for two centers. (ProCure) has not stopped our plans."
As the American Society for Radiation Oncology held its national conference in San Diego last month, UCSD announced an agreement with a private company to build a specialized cancer treatment center in La Jolla.
The news swept through the San Diego Convention Center as especially notable because Scripps and a partner company had just started building a similar proton therapy center in Mira Mesa. Only nine proton centers exist in the country and no two are in the same state, let alone five miles apart.
"The proton folks here at the convention center are buzzing about this," one conventioneer said at the time.
"Could get interesting."
Since then, operators of several proton centers have predicted that Scripps and UCSD will end up more as unwitting partners than competitors.
The two centers will join a small fraternity offering a cancer treatment option for which patients will travel long distances, said Dr. Jerry Slater, director of the James M. Slater M.D. Proton Treatment and Research Center at Loma Linda University. Loma Linda's center, opened in 1990 in San Bernardino County, is the oldest in the country.
"I look at every center that opens up around the country as increasing awareness of proton therapy," Slater said. "Right now there are far more patients that can benefit from this treatment than there are centers that can treat them."
Scripps Health Chief Executive Chris Van Gorder said the proton center will enhance San Diego's role as a destination for quality medical care. Proton therapy patients typically undergo 30- minute treatments every day for several weeks with few side effects, he said.
"That leaves a lot of time for patients to go about enjoying their day, and I can't think of a better place to spend the free time than San Diego."

Tucson gas stations in 1968
This Enco gas station on the northwest corner of Ina Road and the Florence Highway (now known as Oracle Road) featured some shrubs and a picnic table, which apparently were the latest thing in 1968. Note the old service station across the street at Casas Adobes Plaza. Most recently that building was the Einstein's Bagels and Starbuck's Coffee. It was torn down in 2013 for the parking lot expansion for the new Whole Foods. Also note the empty lot on the southeast corner. That is now the Safeway plaza.

Rams select Vanderbilt RB Zac Stacy in 5th round
The St. Louis Rams traded both of their sixth-round picks to the Houston Texans and concluded their draft by selecting Vanderbilt running back Zac Stacy in the fifth round.
The 5-8, 216-pound Stacy was third in the SEC with 1,141 yards rushing as a senior with 10 touchdowns. He's the school's only player to rush for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons and holds school career records of 3,143 yards and 30 touchdowns.
The Rams need depth at running back after losing Steven Jackson in free agency, leaving them with a pair of second-year players in Daryl Richardson and Isaiah Pead. The burly Stacy could help in short-yardage situations.

I want to use Amazon SQS as broker backed of Celery. There's the SQS transport implementation for Kombu, which Celery depends on. However there is not enough documentation for using it, so I cannot find how to configure SQS on Celery. Is there somebody that had succeeded to configure SQS on Celery?
I ran into this question several times but still wasn't entirely sure how to setup Celery to work with SQS. It turns out that it is quite easy with the latest versions of Kombu and Celery. As an alternative to the BROKER_URL syntax mentioned in another answer, you can simply set the transport, options, user, and password like so:
This gets around a purported issue with the URL parser that doesn't allow forward slashes in your API secret, which seems to be a fairly common occurrence with AWS. Since there didn't seem to be a wealth of information out there about the topic yet, I also wrote a short blog post on the topic here:
I'm using Celery 3.0 and was getting deprecation warnings when launching the worker with the BROKER_USER / BROKER_PASSWORD settings.
I took a look at the SQS URL parsing in kombo.utils.url._parse_url and it is calling urllib.unquote on the username and password elements of the URL.
So, to workaround the issue of secret keys with forward slashes, I was able to successfully use the following for the BROKER_URL:
I'm not sure if access keys can ever have forward slashes in them but it doesn't hurt to quote it as well.
For anybody stumbling upon this question, I was able to get Celery working out-of-the-box with SQS (no patching required), but I did need to update to the latest versions of Celery and Kombu for this to work (1.4.5 and 1.5.1 as of now). Use the config lines above and it should work (although you'll probably want to change the default region).
Gotcha: in order to use the URL format above, you need to make sure your AWS secret doesn't contain slashes, as this confuses the URL parser. Just keep generating new secrets until you get one without a slash.
Nobody answered about this. Anyway I tried to configure Celery with Amazon SQS, and it seems I achieved a small success.
Kombu should be patched for this, so I wrote some patches and there is my pull request as well. You can configure Amazon SQS by setting

Living at home is no excuse for not learning essential life skills. I wouldn't dream of expecting my mum to do everything for me and she wouldn't do it either. When your parents do everything for you then you have no incentive to ever leave. I already have itchy feet to move out but can't afford it at the moment.
No one should have to teach you this stuff. Cleaning is not hard, operating a washing machine is not hard, even cooking isn't that difficult really. My mum has bad arthritis already struggles to stand for long periods, so we help her. That is how it should be when your living under their roof
I don't want to get in to making excuses for myself here; the thread is, after all, not about me; I just brought my own situation in to explain why I might be a bit biased in feeling that the way Helen was raised was not necessarily so bad, and that what seems "not normal" to some can seem very normal to others.
However, I will point out that both my parents are still fit and capable, especially my mum, and that I do do some things - washing the dishes, for instance, is my job. If their health deterioriates, I certainly will do more.

Better than expected and have ordered from them a number of times until they (dare I say) stopped offering white meat.

Order never showed up. They claim seamless never faxed it and seamless claims that Harlem BBQ confirmed the order. No accountability and no one offered a resolution

If you want your food fast or even in a timely manner this is not the place, they are incredibly slow and disorganized, expect to wait at least an hour for your food, usually more like 60-90 mins. But that said, if you order well in advance, the food is pretty damn good, I recommend the catfish bites and the chicken & ribs combo. Their sides are so-so but the cornbread is spot on.

*****NO CHICKEN BREAST??!!?!?!****** I ordered the whole roasted chicken w/ 2 sides and they sent me 4 chicken leg quarters. So I called to notify them of the mixup and after being on hold for 15 minutes, I was told they don't sell chicken breast. EXCUSE ME??!!!...The BBQ spot doesn't sell chicken breast?! Totally should've been something on the menu about NOT selling chicken breast.

Only 3 stars because they take way too long, the order was incorrect and the proper condiments not included. One person needs to check the order properly before it leaves the restaurant.

I've ordered from them twice in the last week - the first time, they never delivered my order but still charged me and yesterday they managed to deliver a cold, nearly-inedible sack of food to my apartment. It's a shame, because when they get things right, the food is delicious. They just don't get it right consistently enough for me to risk another order.

They got my order all wrong and the food was terrible. Mac n cheese was dry and oily. Chicken had no flavor. I ordered white meat (cause it was on the online menu) and found out they don't even offer it anymore, so I paid an extra $1 for nothing. Corn bread was the worst I've ever tried. Hard, flat, and dry. Just yuck. i'll never order there again!

February 2014: Unfortunately, Harlem BBQ seems to think that reading what the person ordered is optional. I ordered honey fried chicken and they sent me plain roasted chicken. Also the past 4-5 times that my Sister has ordered, she always receives something else. I received my wrong order about 30 minutes ago and I am still waiting for the replacement, even though I am 1 block away from them. I would think as a business you would want to deliver the right food the first time rather than have the delivery driver deliver to the same place twice. Also, it's a waste of food since each time they ask the customer to return the incorrect item. This food is delicious, but I don't have patience for people who just don't read instructions that are meant to make the process seamless. I'm done with Harlem BBQ. Old Review (circa 2012): Really delicious food! Love the mac n cheese, honey wings and ribs. Delicious! I would give it 5 stars, but they honestly have the worst red velvet cake I've ever tasted in my life. I'm not sure if it's the ingredients or the fact that the cake may be refrigerated somewhere where there is no baking soda so I am picking up tastes of other items in the fridge. Other than that, delish and on time!

This is the second time I gave Harlem BBQ a chance and the second time I've been thoroughly disappointed. Last time I got the chicken and ribs combo and found it to be dry and bland, as well as cold on delivery. Months went by and I decided to give them another shot today on something other than BBQ because it was so poorly done last time. I ordered the triple decker burger cooked medium, looking forward to a nice juicy burger with bacon. The first problem is that this is NOT BACON. It is soggy, disgusting turkey bacon. Feel however you feel about turkey bacon, but you cannot serve this and leave out the word "turkey" from your description. This is false marketing. The food, as many others have already said, is delivered cold. The burgers, ordered medium, were so far past well done that it seemed like they were serving me patties of gristle. The fries are disgusting cold, but I didn't have a chance to taste them warm. Also, everything lacks flavor, the burger, the fries, the BBQ, except the cornbread, which was not only tasty, but warm! Other than that, it's like they are making hospital food for people who can't handle seasoning. Usually when a burger costs over $10, it is better than fast food garbage. It's at least as good as what you can get at someone's block party with Costco frozen patties. This was far below both. Horrible, horrible, horrible...never trying this place again.

Greeks hunt for convicts who escaped by helicopter
The 42-year-old and his elder brother Nikos, who has been in prison since 2006 after spending 16 years on the run following a 1990 prison escape, were at one stage dubbed modern-day Robin Hoods.
News reports have fueled their notoriety – saying they have offered loot to the poor and vowed never to harm members of the public during their thefts.
Sunday's escape was yet another embarrassing blow for Prime Minister Costas Karamanlis.
His conservative government, which holds a razor-thin majority in Parliament, has been buffeted by financial scandals, weeks of extensive riots sparked by the fatal police shooting of a teenager in December and the re-emergence of domestic terrorism.
"In this country where nothing works, it appears that air transfers from Korydallos are working well," the opposition Socialist party said, adding that "elections are the only solution."
Karamanlis rejected calling early elections but convened a meeting Monday to discuss the prison break.
Justice Minister Nikos Dendias said the escape appeared to have been an inside job. "The government believes that the operation could not have succeeded without participation from within," he said after the Cabinet meeting.
He fired the ministry's top prison security official, the inspector-general of prisons and the head of the Korydallos prison on Sunday. He also called for an investigation into the bank accounts of all guards working in the wing where the two convicts were held, and suspended the ministry's head of prison policy.
Paleokostas was serving prison sentences of more that 25 years for a 1995 kidnapping, several robberies and arms possession. His previous escape operation had been masterminded by his older brother.
Nikos Paleokostas was recaptured in September 2006 and is still in jail. He has been convicted of 16 bank robberies.
Rizaj, an Albanian immigrant, was serving a life term for murder. He has also been charged with carrying out two contract killings while on the run after the June 2006 helicopter escape. He was recaptured that September.
