I visited the Google Chromebook outlet in Delhi to check out the new Chromebooks selling in India. Enthused by the fact that we could buy Google Chromebooks in India and Croma was selling them online as well as offline, I decided to visit the Croma store in Delhi to get a first hand view of the first Google outlets selling Chromebook in India.
Google Chromebook Store
Here are some photos of my visit to the Google Chromebook outlet.
The Croma technology store in South Extension II, Delhi hosts a whole range of laptops from across various brands. While Apple has previously commanded its own counter and Apple team to showcase the products, this time it was Google's turn to showcase the Google Chromebooks in a prominent location. Released just in time for the Indian festive season sales, it is a smart move to push Chromebook sales in India.

I've been meaning to post details about this earlier, but well, I didn't. Anyway, full details are available here. I'll be flying back to Atlanta this evening so I won't be participating, but if previous ones are any indication, it'll be great.
This has got to be some sort of joke. You're saying I should learn from you huh? What lesson is that, the one where you sent me that stupid delusional threat that I posted which ended up with you running and crying to everyone that would listen to get me to remove the post because you didn't want the world to see you for what you are? The grammar of you're post is suspiciously good, so I still have to wonder if this isn't someone pulling my crank. But if this is really Charles, I'd highly recommend pissing back off to whatever rock you crawled out from under before I make you cry again. Feel free to send your little friend Doug too, b/c all of you are a bunch of chicksh~~ cowards and don't intimidate me in the least. Remember Charles, you never made me cry and whine and beg people to fight my battles against you, and you damn sure can't say the same about me.

Australia commits to Gov 2.0
Monday, May 3rd, 2010 @ 2:29PM
Today the Minister for Finance, Lindsay Tanner and the Special Minister of State Joe Ludwig made a ground breaking announcement for Australia. They released the Australian Government response to the Gov 2.0 Taskforce Report which was launched in December last year and will be launching a Declaration for Open Government in the near future. This is very exciting news!
The Gov 2.0 Taskforce Report response is excellent, with almost all recommendations agreed to. The Department of Finance will be acting as the lead agency for the Government 2.0 agenda,
"providing leadership, resources, guidance and support to agencies and public servants on Government 2.0 issues"
A Government 2.0 Steering Group will be involved in developing and overseeing the work plan and it includes representation from many key departments and agencies including the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet, the proposed new Office of the Information Commissioner, the Australian Public Service Commission, National Archives of Australia and more.
A lot of the report recommendations that have been agreed to include more consultation and collaboration throughout the public service, which is a fantastic measure to better leverage some of the wonderful work and expertise happening throughout the public sector, and will help create more of a culture of cross jurisdictional sharing and collaboration.
The Government response talks about the active use and implementation of Web 2.0 into normal business practices, which is both exciting and challenging, and I look forward to the good work from many public sector projects being used as shining examples for others to learn from, and innovate on top of.
It was very exciting in the Gov 2.0 response to see a government commitment to ensuring that "all public enquiries funded by the Australian Government should ensure that all submissions are posted online in a form that makes them searchable, easy to comment on and reuse". I feel that this is an important step forward for participatory government, and am very pleased that my Public Spheres have been helpful in demonstrating how a consultation can successfully integrate online contributions, and how valuable such contributions can be when you engage meaningfully with the public.
It was also very exciting to see the agreement to use permissive copyright for publicly accessible works. It makes government information more accessible and usable by citizens, and there was also a great commitment to further accessibility through the implementation of the Gov 2.0 agenda, which will be vital in ensuring we are inclusive.
I'd love your thoughts on the Government response to the Gov 2.0 Taskforce Report, and I will be doing everything I can to support the progress and implementation of this agenda. Congratulations to Minister Tanner and Minister Ludwig, the Gov 2.0 Taskforce & Secretariate, and a big thank you to all the other folk who have put so much work into this, especially all the individuals from the community and industry who have contributed so much value, enthusiasm and inspiration to the process through their Tweeting, blogging, mashups, comments and participation on the Gov 2.0 Taskforce website (http://gov2.net.au/)and at the Gov 2.0 Public Sphere (http://www.katelundy.com.au/category/campaigns/publicsphere/open-gov/).
To support this initiative, I will be working in conjunction with Minister Tanner and AGIMO to collate and show off Australian Gov 2.0 case studies, so please start thinking about you can present your own Gov 2.0 projects with video.
I would love to have as much Aussie innovation on display for the world to see at the international Gov 2.0 Expo in Washington DC at the end of the month (http://www.gov2expo.com/), where I'll be presenting about Australia's Gov 2.0 progress.

The interesting thing will be if the fairly general statements around public service engagement will be enough to change the culture of secrecy and spin control that seems to pervade government departments. I have some grave doubts as to whether things will change.
Congratulations to you and everyone who has worked to make this happen. In a time of hearing about all the things not going ahead or not just now (some of that news being actually very agreeable for some of us it is frankly surprising and also tremendously encouraging to hear the news about the Declaration and the other recommendations which have been given the go-ahead.
Agree with Peter. As the taskforce report points out there will be a huge amount of cultural resistance to this. I see a lot of very passive, very half-hearted compliance unless there is genuine pressure applied to agencies for a sustained period of time.
Thanks for the responses Peter, Des and James. Your perspectives are really useful. I do think however that this is a good start, and keep in mind it is a response to the Taskforce recomendations, not an all inclusive strategy, so specific ideas around dealing with the necessary culture change would be very welcome
ICT Policy Advisor to Senator Lundy
Don't mean to sound too negative Pia. Very excited about the response in general.
I love the US approach, explicit directives with timeframes and very public league tables.
Of course it's understandable to have reservations about what the extent and speed of uptake of recommendations is likely to be. But just from my perspective as a former public servant, I'm actually impressed by the progress that has been made. I'd like to suggest for consideration also that in terms of achieving change there are other ways than are encompassed by the language of "sustaining pressure" on agencies.
There is the possibility of change bubbling up, as distinct from being pressured down, so to speak. The value of a Government commitment to a policy that embraces and encourages a "Gov 2.0″ culture and related procedures is that it gives every public servant, including the most junior in the pecking order, a government-endorsed frame of reference. If "the way things are done" can be shown often enough to be out of whack with stated government policy, then there is internal pressure to bring about change.
I'm not arguing for no pressure – or at least no regular nagging – being applied, especially to the more recalcitrant of agencies. I'm saying it's not, and should not be, the only way.
Actually if you start to cultivate the "social" cultural style which I see as implicit in the Gov 2.0 approach, then it just may be that what bubbles up and out may be a greater force for evolving the culture and the practices and processes than periodic pressure from "on high".
More seriously, if you only rely on pressure from above, my hunch is that the kind and extent of change a lot of us hope for may be a very long time coming.
Colour me not particularly optimistic – I have been trying for months to get access to particular government data for a simple but very useful app. It's like talking to a wall. Nope more than that, it's like talking to a stupid wall.
And of course, there needs to be a push to get the states doing something as well, but that will be even harder.
Hi Kate, Pia, et al
Knowing a little about the way that web policy gets passed around Canberra, I think the response is right on the money.
We talk a lot about cultural change and so it is good to always bear in mind the culture we are talking about.
Broadly, and from my observation, the APS is quite agile when it comes to taking on web stuff from on high. Agencies generally are looking for direction from AGIMO on the web space. It's not secret that pre-gov 2.0, I thought AGIMO was way off the mark.
The gov 2.0 thing has almost given me whiplash. From being off the mark, AGIMO is now spot on.
So, back to the culture thing. I believe it is relatively simple. We need to get the message to the agencies that this gov 2.0 thing is a green light. Perhaps we can ask Kate to tour the agencies over the next 12 months and present alongside the agency boss. Honestly, something along those lines would probably get us a long way down the track.
The first cab off the rank is the high-level statement. My thoughts are that it needs to be very clear on where the line is. This might be best communicated by detailing what is the 'closed' and 'not allowed' side of the line. Then agencies can use common sense and official policy to engage on any issue.
Mostly, the road ahead is about talking through and communicating what "engage" really means. I am sure that the discussions will be going on beyond our lifetimes. So, let us all revel at being here, right at the start of the discussion.
All in all, a big thumbs up to the gov. A bigger thumbs up for the TF and AGIMO. Of course, the normal thumbs up to Kate. Where would we be without our champion.
jimi bostock
PUSH agency
There is a lot of interest from APS staff in using Gov 2.0 techniques and I think the government's response will go a long way towards supporting those who have been suggesting and implementing Gov 2.0 initiatives due to their benefits.
However there are still many regulations and governance practices that must be reviewed, reinterpreted or adjusted to allow the process-driven public service effectively approach Gov 2.0 in a timely (rapid) and cost-effective manner. To make engagement successful, there ia the need to streamline approvals for things such as public responses and moderation of public comments (where moderation is used at all) in order to allow conversations to begin and communities to form.
Also for public servants – and politicians – for whom the concept of 'letting go' and allowing authentic online engagement to occur is a new and scary concept, unlike their previous experience or the directives they have received in the past. I hope we will see substantial change management support and training to help these groups normalize Gov 2.0 within their worldviews.
Otherwise it will remain a long and rocky road towards the widespread embedded use of Hov 2.0 within government agencies. Change had to occur in the heart as well as the head to be lasting.

We have a shared mailbox - shared with 5 people across UK and US offices. The performance is very poor when opening files - especially those with email attachments (typically 1 to 5MB). For our own mailboxes we use cached exchange mode - so there is a local *.ost copy. My question is - is there...

I know what a. OST file is, however I am being asked to make and "HTML email in .OST format" and that I don't know. Is there a special way of writting the code in that case? How would this be different from an HTML email that's made specifically for Outlook users?
Last updated: -
I've been asked to create an html email in .OST format... What is that supposed to mean "html email in .ost format"? How does one program such a file? I am currently creating HTML emails that are red by corporations that use mostly Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007 so all IE based no Gecko browser.

Realities of Media Ownership
While the FCC defends it media ownership rules in court, some commissioners have a simplified view of what it takes to serve the public interest.
Riding High on Optimism
Economic indicators show that radio is poised for revenue recovery, but it's going to be a long road.
2010 NAB Show Wrap-up
The 2010 NAB Show had a refreshed feeling this year, and the upbeat attitude was obvious in the exhibit hall and sessions.
Post-show Recovery
Attendance at the 2010 NAB Show was up, spirits were high, and the media industry in general appears to be on an upswing.
Embracing Mobile Media
For radio stations, streaming should be viewed as yet another path to reach an audience.
What's Showing at the 2010 NAB Show?
HD Radio, radio station apps, IP audio, and CAP will be popular topics at the 2010 NAB Show.
Being Connected
With our increasing hunger for speed and data, we're not always satisfied with what's available, but it appears that is changing.
Technical support at the FCC...finally
Senate bill S.2881 -- the FCC Commissioners' Technical Resource Enhancement Act -- aims to provide greater technical resources to FCC Commissioners.
A deserved punishment for KWVE?
The reality is that EAS does not really work as well as it was intended. Editor Chriss Scherer does not believe any broadcast station should ever, as part of a standard plan, originate an alert.
Changing of the guard
Another RF expert takes over the RF Engineering column reins from John Battison: Jeremy Ruck. John is stepping back from his routine involvement with Radio magazine.
The spirit of coopetition
As the rules of business are bent and retooled to ensure success, coopetition is a way for two or more typical competitors to work together for their mutual benefit.
Marketing radio
For all radio does to promote itself as a consumer technology, it keeps coming up short.
Julius Genachowski joins renewed FCC
There's a new man at the helm of the FCC. Julius Genachowski has served as chief counsel to former FCC chairman Reed Hundt as well as being involved with media and telecommunications, so at least he joins the agency with some familiarity as to its function.
How's your attitude in this down economy?
As we look ahead for relief, we see the predictions: on-air ad sales look flat, but online has promise. The overall economic view predicts a better future.
Attending a convention is half the experience
So is it worth attending the 2010 NAB Show? I think so. And right now is the right time to begin planning to attend.
The 2009 NAB Show is Over
For years exhibitors have been talking about the quality of the attendees being good even though quantity had slipped. This year was the ultimate example of that with fewer attendees, but those who were there were serious buyers.
More connected than ever
Radio magazine has blogs, forums, and plenty of RSS feed options. And it's on Facebook and Twitter. It's easier than ever to stay connected to what's happening in radio broadcasting from Radio magazine.
Quality of service - Quality in manufacturing
A fellow engineer tells me about some recent equipment failures, and he is concerned about the quality of manufacturing. I understand his concern. There is an expectation for a professional product to provide reliable service. He is not expecting unrealistic support, but he is expecting the product to work.
President Obama's changes to the FCC
The bad taste of former Chairman Kevin Martin still lingers, but immediate efforts are being made to cleanse that memory. The first step was President Obama naming Michael Copps to be the interim chairman of the FCC.
Looking for change at the FCC
We're due for a chairman who can lead the FCC and make real progress. Who's the next chairman? Julius Genachowski, Don Gips, Larry Strickling and Blair Levin are some of the names I have heard.

MALIBU, Calif. -- In an elegant white tent nestled among the barn-shaped houses that dot her oceanfront compound, Barbra Streisand sang and former President Bill Clinton spoke to a crowd gathered to raise funds for women's heart health.
Comedian Martin Short was the master of ceremonies at the intimate fundraising dinner Thursday at the Malibu home Streisand shares with her husband, James Brolin.
Guests who paid as much as $100,000 per couple to support the Barbra Streisand Women's Heart Center enjoyed sweeping ocean views and the singer's blooming rose garden before sitting down to a "heart-healthy," gluten-free dinner of tofu, fish or grilled vegetables.
Streisand said she was motivated to contribute to women's heart health because she "can't stand inequality, whether it's about civil rights, gay rights or gender discrimination."
Heart disease kills more women each year than all cancers combined, but most of the research on the disease for the past five decades has been conducted on men.

Nakheel appoints Manchanda as CEO
Dubai , October 10, 2012
Dubai developer Nakheel, whose flagship projects include islands in the shape of palm trees, has appointed Sanjay Manchanda as chief executive officer (CEO), the company said in a statement on Wednesday.
Manchanda had been acting CEO since June 2011, prior to which he was seconded to the firm as chief financial officer and played a leading role in the company's financial restructuring.
Nakheel, a unit of Dubai World, was forced to separately negotiate a restructuring agreement with creditors, after running into debt troubles in the wake of the global economic downturn and a collapse of Dubai's property market. - Reuters

Much ado about Indian expansion
Interesting, if predictable, reactions to a piece I wrote in this week's Comment pages saying that Tata Steel's audacious buy-out of the European steel giant Corus was a "wake up call" for Britain.
Tata's buy-out of Corus steel (above) sparked debate
What seemed to irk some of the British readers was my suggestion that the deal could be conceived in nationalistic terms – as a statement by Indian Inc of its burgeoning ambition to join the top-table of global trade.
Several comments were posted after the piece along the lines that this was a simplistic notion and that the deal was nothing more than the free movement of capital in a global market economy. To that way of thinking, this was just another merger and acquisition among many, which has nothing to do with nation states which are the creaking constructs of a soon to be bygone era.
This of course is nonsense. As the triumphant reporting of the deal in the Indian media made clear, this deal was about much more than two steel companies finding synergies in the global market place.
The mere fact that Tata was prepared – in the opinion of many financial analysts – to overstretch itself to clinch the deal is a statement of how far India wants to go, even if others say it's foolhardy. It is true that much of this Indian corporate acquisitiveness is fuelled by non-Indian money and demonstrates a shortage of desi skills, technology and R&D, but that is besides this particular point.Â
To Indians the deal feels like a big success for Mother India, a statement to the world that the country must now be taken seriously. That has social and national impacts which are very visible in India. It also, as I pointed out in the piece, serves to challenge old attitudes towards India which still persist in the UK.
Perhaps not among venture-capitalists or emerging market whizzes who have seen India's potential for a while, but certainly, as we saw during the Big Brother debacle, among the general population.
And I won't apologise for challenging those old attitudes, however irritated it makes the inhabitants of Merry Old England. Of course, in the final analysis, the great Indian economic "miracle" might all come crashing down.
Perhaps it will turn out to be the fleeting creation of developed world know-how and money exploiting India's natural and human resources for short-term gain. But, as the growth of India's service sector is showing, that doesn't have to be the outcome. Educate the people, invest in infrastructure and agriculture and India has a chance to deliver hitherto untold prosperity to its people.
So which will it be? Of course, I can't answer that question, but I do have one overriding conviction: the upheaval of the next few decades will only have a positive outcome if India's people start to boss India's government – and not, as at present, the other way round.
I'll post some thoughts on Rahul Gandhi, as one commenter requested, next week.

My cat was against me writing that.
My name is Ilya (sound like "eel-YAH"). I am 30 y.o. For the last 10 years I am working in advertising as a communication strategist. I am in charge of agency's creativity to meet audience insights and client's objectives, client's objectives to meet client's business objectives and, after all, both agency's and client's people to meet their lovely families before the sun goes down.
Advertising is my passion. For me to learn it means to learn human nature. Every new client is a chance to open new side of life — to go deep into bakering, finance, sports. On that exciting journey my motto is "Magic thinking, heroic actions". To dream. To act.
I am digging into business planning, communications, cross-channel experience, marketing researches, new techologies, sociology and psychology. My life goal is to elaborate advertising theory based on real marketing experience to keep it up to date and step ahead of instantly changing reality. I am an advocate of integrated approach, convergent culture, permission marketing and idea planning. I stand for the fact that digital is not a tool and even not an environment but new way of thinking we should apply for everything we do. I am also believe that advertising could make the world a better place and in case there is such a possiblite we should be responsible for making that happened.

Not bad for a few days work! Djokovic withdraws from Paris Masters after pocketing £1m
World No 1 Novak Djokovic has pulled out of the Paris Masters due to his injured shoulder.
Djokovic saw off fellow Serbian Viktor Troicki 4-6 6-3 6-1 and was due to face home favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga next.
But the shoulder joint is still troubling him, forcing him to withdraw.
Walking away from it: Novak Djokovic has withdrawn from the Paris Masters
After missing the Masters event in Shanghai with the shoulder problem, the 24-year-old suffered a recurrence in his semi-final defeat to world No 35 Kei Nishikori in Basle last week.
He wrote on his official Twitter account: 'Dear fans and friends, sadly I have to inform you that I have withdrawn from the tournament. I have pushed myself to the limit by playing, and after the match yesterday my shoulder got worse.
'For this reason, I have to put my health first and withdraw even though my urges as a professional player are making me want to play until the last drop of energy.
'I am very sorry for all of you who bought tickets and wanted to come to watch me play. My season has been long and tiring, I played all of my matches at my highest level, and now my body is aching for recovery. Hoping for your understanding and support.'
Spotlight on you: The Serb's brief appearance netted him a cool £1m
His withdrawal at this early stage, though, will still raise questions in some quarters about his motives for even playing in the first place.
By turning up for his opening match at the Paris Masters, Djokovic ensured he would receive his due from the ATP's annual bonus pool, a cool £1million.
The Serb has bristled at any suggestion that it was all about the money, and he certainly appeared to feel no discomfort in overcoming the fast-improving Croatian Ivan Dodig 6-4, 6-3.
In form: Djokovic had shown little sign he was struggling during his matches
Afterwards, he said said: 'I heard that I would get on the court and play one game to get the money. This is ridiculous. Look, we are all athletes, this is our job, we are all being paid of course. This is normal, I don't see what's unusual in that.
'On the other hand I came here because I want to compete. If I know I am physically good enough I will compete, if I don't I will not compete, it's as simple as that.'
Djokovic will now focus on his fitness ahead of the ATP World Tour Finals which take place in London, starting on November 20.
The Serbian has had a remarkable year, winning the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open crowns as well as five Masters events.

Op-Ed: Brutal drive at Taiji Cove sees striped dolphins dragged to beach
Elizabeth Batt
Dec 11, 2012 in
By Elizabeth Batt.
- An horrific scene played out in Taiji, Japan last night as 55-65 striped dolphins were driven into the Cove and slaughtered. Stressed dolphins threw themselves onto rocks and had to be physically dragged to their slaughter. Warning: Graphic images.
Initially said Cove Guardians with Sea Shepherd, there were more than 200 dolphins in the pod that was driven towards the Cove yesterday -- far too many for the Taiji drive boats to handle. And although the majority of the pod did eventually manage to escape, for a significant number of unlucky marine mammals, the trauma was just beginning.
All dolphin drives are awful to watch but a striped dolphin drive is particularly gruesome. This species of dolphin live in the open ocean and rarely encounter land. So when they are forced toward coastal waters, they panic in the most horrifying manner imaginable.
Last night's drive was one of the most brutal dolphin hunts documented by Sea Shepherd Cove Guardians so far this season. The entire event was streamed live by Cove Guardian Nicole McLachlan. The footage now archived at
was difficult to watch.
"Tired and terrified," said Cove Guardians on their
Facebook page
, "the dolphins frantically threw themselves up onto the surrounding rocks as their family members looked on. Dolphins," they added, "were dragged kicking and screaming into the cove as the killers could not control the absolute havoc."
Courtesy SSCS Cove Guardians
SSCS Cove Guardians: "A diver trying to drag a dying dolphin off the rocks as it attempted to escape."
For what felt like forever, the dolphins fought for their lives, slapping and churning the waters of the cove:

A bloodied dolphin tries anything to escape and crashes into a rock wall.
Amid the chaos, a solitary juvenile striped dolphin was driven right onto the rocks by a skiff:

Eventually, the waters of the Cove were infused with the blood of striped dolphins.

Out of the 55-65 dolphins captured in the Cove last night, there was just one survivor. It was only after he had seen his family slaughtered and was forced to swim in their blood, that he was taken for a life of captivity in an aquarium somewhere. Once trained, he will be sold to the highest bidder, but only if he survives.
Striped dolphins are one of the hardest species to keep alive in captivity, but this isn't a problem in Taiji, there is always another replacement to be found.
According to
, since the dolphin drive season began on Sep. 1, almost 600 dolphins have been driven into Taiji's Cove. More than half of that number (337) have been slaughtered, another 44 were held for captivity. The season is still not quite half way through and ends March 31.
If like me you believe that this type of killing has no place in the 21st century, then there is something you can do about it. Captivity fuels this slaughter, not meat. Trained dolphins are worth far more to Taiji's Isana Fisheries Union than slaughtered ones. Taiji recently sold six dolphins to Saudi Arabia for 3.5 million yen ($43,750) each.
Without demand, experts believe that the drives will stop. So don't buy a ticket to any dolphinarium or park with captive marine mammals.
Then visit the
Sea Shepherd Cove Guardian's website
to find out more about the dolphin drives and their link to captivity. You can also follow their live updates on Twitter
and at
Finally, Cove Guardians are on the ground in Taiji for the entire season and sometimes even beyond. The time and funds spent, are often their own. They face the slaughters that occur here on a daily basis. They hope that eventually, their presence will help to stop one of the largest mass slaughters of dolphins in the world.
They don't do it for the glory. It's a thankless job being on the front lines and they work under the most trying of circumstances everyday. But they persist at it because they feel the need to, and so what was once done secretly, can never be hidden again.

Standing tall. Cove Guardians support one another as they watch the brutal slaughter of striped dolphins.

Brother, can you spare a dime? Hand-painted meters will collect money for the homeless
Organizers of the effort — city Alderman Pat Long, New Horizons head Charlie Sherman, Friends of Manchester Art — were on hand Thursday evening when the artists unveiled the meters in a vacant lot besides New Horizons.
All meters are different.
Manchester resident Colleen O'Connor had black indigenous designs on earth tones like purple and oranges, hues that developed surprisingly when primary colors blended together, she said.
Her fiancee, Paul Davidson, used a yellow background and drew small black stick figures walking up a hill, swimming at a pool or just hanging out.
Each will carry a sticker explaining it is not a parking meter and all the money collected goes to New Horizons.
Long said they meters could go up as early as today. He said the electronic readout will be dismantled, and they have been fitted to accept even pennies.
Sherman said most panhandlers are not homeless, and the money they collect often goes to food or alcohol.

The layout of this L-shaped home presents several landscaping challenges. The
landscape design must provide cars with easy access to the two-car garage and
enough turnaround space so they needn't back out of the driveway. The home's
three front entrances need to be distinguished one from another, and plantings
should counter the elongated look of the house.
~~Though the driveway is large and comes close to the house, the inlaid
cobblestones transform what could otherwise resemble a parking lot into an
entry court that escorts visitors to the main entrance. A curving line of
ornamental trees bordering the driveway leads the eye directly to the door,
blocks headlights from glaring into the windows, screens the view into the
front rooms and camouflages the private entrance that leads from the master
suite to the covered porch and private garden. A low picket fence keeps this
lovely garden even more private. Though, of necessity, the driveway is up close
to the house, the view from the inside looking out is of beautiful flowering
trees rather than asphalt.
~~A wide landing of bluestone paving further highlights the main entrance. Once
on the landing, visitors notice that the paving also leads to the service
entrance beside the garage, which was hidden from direct view by a latticework
trellis. Covered with a flowering vine, the lattice complements the home's
country feeling. Also shown here is home plan HWEPL00500.

American's Arrest In Cuba Could Have Impact
A U.S. contractor working to provide Internet service to Cuba's small Jewish community was charged with spying and sentenced to 15 years in a Cuban prison. Alan Gross was reportedly working for the U.S. Agency for International Development.
Copyright © 2012 NPR. For personal, noncommercial use only. See Terms of Use. For other uses, prior permission required.
It's WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Guy Raz.
Later in the program, a tribute to singer Whitney Houston who died yesterday at the age of 48. But first to another story that's crossed the wires in recent hours.
The Associated Press has been working on a month-long investigation into the case of 62-year-old Alan Gross. You might remember he was sentenced to 15 years in prison in Cuba last year for violating Cuban laws against bringing in unauthorized satellite and computer equipment.
Gross was ostensibly on a mission on behalf of the U.S. Agency for International Development. The Cubans accused him of being a spy. The State Department says he was there on a humanitarian mission to help Cuba's tiny Jewish community get access to the Internet. But new evidence unearthed by The Associated Press suggests Gross was doing work for USAID that could be considered covert. Desmond Butler reported the story, and he joins me now.
Desmond, let's start with the purpose of Gross' travels to Cuba. Who was he working for, and what was he supposed to be doing?
DESMOND BUTLER: Alan Gross was a subcontractor. He was hired by a company called DAI that does a lot of work for USAID. The mission was to set up uncensored Wi-Fi networks in Cuba that the government would have a hard time paying attention to.
RAZ: And that network would be for the Jewish community in Cuba.
BUTLER: Correct.
RAZ: And about 1,500 Cuban Jews there.
BUTLER: Right.
RAZ: Your story says that Gross represented himself as a member of a Jewish organization, not as a representative of USAID.
BUTLER: That's right, and that was very important, because Cuba considers all of this kind of democracy promotion work for the U.S. government illegal, so he really needed to keep his mission under wraps.
RAZ: One of the things you discovered, Desmond, is that he managed to smuggle in a SIM card, a chip, that can be used to avoid government oversight of Internet communications. In other words, it would allow people in Cuba to use the Internet without concern - without worry that the government was monitoring them. These chips, you write, are only available to governments and intelligence agencies.
BUTLER: That's right. This is a very sensitive piece of technology. And the question is - USAID is an agency that was set up to do humanitarian work around the world, and it's the main arm of U.S. foreign aid. As they move into this contentious democracy promotion work in hostile countries, does that jeopardize its very important humanitarian work?
RAZ: The work of people helping, you know, doing agricultural aid and showing, you know, going around the world...
BUTLER: Vaccine drives.
RAZ: Vaccines, right. U.S. Congress mandated that the U.S. government spend $20 million a year, right, on democracy promotion in Cuba. So if it's illegal according to the Cuban government, what - I mean, that's a catch-22. What do U.S. agencies do? They have to spend this money, right?
BUTLER: They have to spend the money. It's very difficult work and, as we've learned, very dangerous work. But they've been doing it.
RAZ: In Gross' trial, he essentially suggested that he was - he didn't know about any of this. He didn't know that what he was doing was illegal or covert. What's your sense? Did he know that he was doing something that was a violation of Cuban law?
BUTLER: He said at the trial that he was duped, but his own reports make it very clear that he knew that he was taking serious risks. He wrote at one point: This is very risky business in no uncertain terms.
RAZ: He took five trips to Cuba, and he wrote logs about his trips, and that's what you had access to.
BUTLER: Correct.
RAZ: He's now in prison for 15 years. Any chance that the Cubans will release him?
BUTLER: There's been no indication so far. There have been extensive diplomatic efforts to get him released, but the Cubans do not seem to be playing ball on that.
RAZ: That's Desmond Butler. He's a reporter for The Associated Press, talking about the case of Alan Gross, the American contractor jailed in Cuba on suspicion of being a spy. Gross and the U.S. State Department, of course, deny that. Desmond, thanks for coming in.
BUTLER: Thank you very much for having me, Guy.

NAGPUR: A 20-year-old civil engineering student of GH Raisoni College died while waiting for medical assistance as no private hospital would admit her. Ritwik Tripti, alias Sonam Mishra, was later declared dead at the Government Medical College and Hospital (GMCH). She was found in an unconscious state in the bathroom of her rented apartment at Lokhande Nagar on Sunday.
Eldest daughter of a retired senior government official, it is learnt that Ritwik was suffering from some kidney-related complexity and asthma. She was a good student but had to discontinue her semesters due to prolonged sickness. Ritwik, a sixth semester student, had also been absent from college for around a month. She had recently resumed attending classes after furnishing medical certificate.

With wide, embellished eyes, a golden complexion, and thick go-go hair, Ann-Margret at 62 still looks kittenish against the odds; she can't be convincingly pastured in television movies for senior citizens. She is miscast in ''A Place Called Home,'' tomorrow night on the Hallmark Channel.
''A Place Called Home'' -- entertainment scientists should study this title to find out what makes it so perfectly forgettable -- was shot in Lake Tahoe, Calif., where the sunlight makes everything from skin to cars look beguiling. In telling the story of a seductive sea captain's widow who has a transformative encounter with a younger man, this movie seems at first to take plot cues from Willa Cather's tragedy of the plains, ''A Lost Lady.''
But not cues enough. Where that novel is deceptively simple, the script here is -- no surprise -- only simple-minded.
Stalked by a cackling young couple, kin to her late husband, who hope for her death and her lakeside house, Tula (Ann-Margret) feels beset. Luckily heaven sends another pair to save her: a voluble girl, Cali (Shailene Woodley), and her pillar-to-post father, Hank (Matthew Settle, last seen as Warren Beatty on ABC's ''Mystery of Natalie Wood'').

Is Ecuador prepared to counter rise in organized crime?
Ecuador has been described as the 'United Nations of organized crime,' but authorities may underestimate the repercussions, writes guest blogger Elyssa Pachico.
(Page 2 of 2)
But the northern border region is just one part of the problem. Along the country's coasts, trafficking gangs are increasingly reliant on semi-submersibles to transport cocaine. Police found a 12-acre poppy field in central Ecuador in December, a highly unusual discovery in a country that is generally free of illicit drug crops. In Quito, Colombian gangs have been accused of controlling much of the local drug trade. One US drug official described Ecuador as the "United Nations" of organized crime, due to the number of transnational criminal groups (including Russian and Chinese) that have set up shop here.

Mexican groups in particular have a growing foothold in Ecuador. In February, police arrested a man described as the main link between the Sinaloa Cartel and Colombian drug trafficker Daniel Barrera, alias "El Loco." Authorities arrested nine operatives who allegedly worked for the Mexican group in Ecuador last year; the investigation also led to the arrest of a top Sinaloa Cartel lieutenant, Victor Felix, in Mexico. The Sinaloa Cartel reportedly has two armed cells working along Ecuador's southern border. According to the US State Department, the Zetas, the Gulf Cartel, and Colombian rebel group the FARC all move cocaine through Ecuador.
If the security forces have in fact warned that organized crime could spill out of control unless measures are taken, this suggests that the situation is becoming critical. If authorities do not meet the challenge, it may yet turn into a national crisis.

Attorney General John Swallow investigative committee faces daunting job
Panel chief has ties to indicted businessman Johnson
SALT LAKE CITY — A newly appointed Utah House investigative committee has a daunting task: unravel the tangle of allegations hanging over the state's beleaguered attorney general.
"This committee has a monumentally difficult job ahead of it. It has to balance public expectations with considerations of justice. It has to balance the public interest and the Legislature's responsibility," said Kirk Jowers, head of the University of Utah's Hinckley Institute of Politics.
The first-of-its-kind panel's foray into the ongoing John Swallow saga comes in the midst of federal, state and county investigations that started months ago. Mounting frustration over the lack of conclusions or clarity from those investigations motivated lawmakers to act, said House Speaker Becky Lockhart, R-Provo.
But the nine-member committee composed of part-time legislators could face a host of obstacles from scheduling meetings to dealing with reluctant witnesses and extracting information from other criminal or civil investigations.
One issue that arose Thursday is the committee chairman's ties to court cases involving St. George businessman Jeremy Johnson, whose allegations touched off questions about Swallow.
Rep. Lowry Snow, a St. George-based lawyer, said neither he nor his firm represent Johnson. But he said his office, Snow Jensen & Reece, represents one of many companies whose assets were frozen in the Federal Trade Commission case against Johnson.
Snow, a Republican, said Wednesday he was not aware of anything that would impede his service on the committee. He maintained that Thursday but said he wants to meet with Lockhart and "do the right thing, whatever that is."
"I don't think that think that those constitute an issue that would affect my ability to act," he said. "But if the speaker feels differently, I'm certainly willing to abide by her wishes."
Lockhart, who appointed the bipartisan committee Wednesday, is out of town and unavailable for comment.
Regardless of who heads the panel, it faces challenges from the outset.
"To make matters more difficult, it feels like the end result that they're going for is very ambiguous. This is not an impeachment investigation, so what is it?" Jowers said.
"How aggressive should they be? How deferential should they be to the other investigations? What deference should anyone give to this committee when there isn't any clear objective in mind?"
Lockhart said she doesn't see the committee stepping on the toes of those other probes. She said she considers the House investigation on a parallel track.
"We hope that we will have cooperation between levels of government. We hope that we will be able to talk with the FBI, with the Department of Justice and work together," Lockhart said.
Those typically tight-lipped agencies don't seem likely to share information about their investigations.
In addition to the DOJ's Public Integrity Section, Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill and Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings are conducting a joint investigation into Swallow and his predecessor Mark Shurtleff.
The lieutenant governor's office also intends to appoint special counsel to look into whether Swallow broke state campaign finance laws. The first-term Republican also is the subject of two Utah State Bar complaints.
Gill said he and Rawlings would have to "be very careful" about providing information to the legislative committee.
"We would not breach the confidentiality or protocol of a criminal investigation," he said.

Few Cincinnati commercial real estate firms adding agents
- Gigi Verna
- Senior Editor/Researcher- Cincinnati Business Courier
- Email | Twitter | LinkedIn | Google+
Despite some high-profile action in the commercial real estate market, mainly the opening of the Great American Tower at Queen City Square downtown, local sales and leasing didn't really take off in 2011.
Of the commercial real estate firms that reported 2011 total sales and leasing, most registered lower numbers than in 2010, according to the Business Courier's "Largest Tri-State Commercial Real Estate Firms" list. Leasing seemed to be doing a little better than sales, however. The majority of firms saw their number of licensed agents fall or remain static, with only four registering increases in agents.
CBRE (formerly CB Richard Ellis) remained in the No. 1 spot, ranked by the number of local licensed agents, followed by Colliers International and Cassidy Turley Commercial Real Estate Services.
For a slideshow of the top five commercial real estate firms in the Tri-State, click here.
Joining the list this year are Jones Lang LaSalle Americas and Eagle Realty Group, both of which debuted in the top 10.
On Friday, we'll list Greater Cincinnati's largest hospitals.
