  • Australia and India agreed to an extradition treaty in June last year, but the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, it is not yet in force.
  • "Once the extradition treaty enters into force, Indian authorities would be bound to uphold and process the extradition request, and to seek to lodge an arrest warrant within India to seek out and detain this individual."
  • "In 2008 in addition to the extradition treaty, Australia also concluded a mutual assistance treaty dealing with matters of criminal interest between the two countries, and since then of course we've had the terrorist events in Bombay and no doubt the Australian Federal Police have got interests in matters that are occurring in India,"

Harvard Harvard's Museum of Natural History photographing

  • Among the treasures hidden from sight at Harvard’s Museum of Natural History are the world’s biggest egg, Stephen Jay Gould’s seashells and Vladimir Nabokov’s collection of butterfly genitalia. So when the museum’s curator asked photographer Mark Sloan if he’d be interested in photographing the most unique specimens from their behind-the-scenes collection, Sloan was glad to oblige. In exchange, he got the tour of a lifetime.
  • “It came with its own curator. He sat there with that egg for the entire duration of my photo shoot, which was quite long. He had white gloves on and was the only one who could touch it,” said Sloan. “The one time the curator went out to the bathroom, my assistant pretended to flick the egg.” The museum preferred the flick-free version.

    Shaping New Regional Governance in East Asia: A Common Vision for Mutual Benefit and Common Prosperity

    `A peaceful solution to the Korean problem will be a starting point for common prosperity and mutual benefit in East Asia, where security matters such as the North Korean nuclear issue have long intermingled,'' a news release said. ``Experts in their respective fields will engage in in-depth discussions and deepen mutual understanding, exploring ways to promote peace and prosperity on the Korean Peninsula as well as in East Asia.'' Anyone knows how John Howard get's to be there? Has he become an adviser of some sort? Would be interesting to see what his take on these things is, and what/who's agenda he presents?
