20,000 Bangladeshi students to.....................

Judith said there are many US educational institutions, which are interested to recruit students from Bangladesh. From now on, the American Center in Dhaka will prepare more tools to inform the students of financial and other facilities the US institutions offer. She, however, did not mention anything specific on quota or scholarship for Bangladeshi students.

The US under secretary said the recent global economic downturn has proved that the world is very much interconnected and problems of a country affect the whole world. The world is facing even more challenges, so more understanding of public issues is of critical importance, she noted. "This requires open-mindedness to work together. But it always does not depend on diplomatic channels, but people-to-people contact. Therefore, we are expanding our education to more international students," she added.

Judith, who is visiting Bangladesh for the first time, said Bangladesh and the US maintain a long history of cooperation and will continue it for the betterment of people.

"I am confident that Bangladesh's future leaders will have more opportunities than ever before to experience firsthand the friendship of the American people," she said, adding that more US students will also be coming to Bangladesh to study. Asked about the deportation of Lt Col (retd) AM Rashed Chowdhury, a convicted killer of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, US Ambassador James F Moriarty said they would not comment on this issue because it is a judicial matter.

A Snowball in Hell (countinue)

That's precisely what Christopher Brookmyre sets out to do in A Snowball in Hell, the final bool in his Angelique trilogy, albeit with a lot of style. The first bool in the series, 'A Big Boy Did it and Ran Away' introduced Angelique de Xavia, female, Asian and an oddity in the Glasgow pokice force, who brought down a deadly serial killer. The sequel, 'The Sacred Art of Stealing' pairs her with the irrepressible Zal lnnez, master conman and escape artist. 'Snowball inHell' introduces a nemesis worthy of Zal and Angelique. A returning villain from the previous bools has the entertainment industry on the hop, as he brutally murders a leading journalist and a music band, and releases the snuff video. He goes on to kidnap more celebrities, holding them hostage and inviting the public to participate in a gruesome parody of reality shows. Officer De Xavia is clled in to deal with the criminal, but soon finds herself way out of league. The only person she can think of who can match this sly number is Zal, Who's been MIA for three years. With the clock racing, Angelique must track down the elusive Zal before she can take the kidnapper out. What follows is a story fraught with suspense, peppered with shocking rants that you somehow can't entirely disagree with, super slick capers and more than a little bit of romance. While the gore and the explicit language might stick this book in the 'lad lit' category, there's something here for everyone.

Whatever one can say in praise of Broolmyre's writing would feel inadequate; he's funny, he's sarcastic, he's insightful, and he's not afraid of speaking the ugly truth, even if it is through the perspective of a heinous criminal. He even shows a softer side with the romance angle, and this might tick off fans of Sacred Art, but diehard romantics will definitely go *squee*. As Admin Lambert puts it, "Do you know why you got into? Can you handle what I'm about to do? 'Cause it's about to get rough for you."

New Technology

Dell Froot Concept (continue):

The Froot's projectors display the image of the monitor on the wall and will project a keyboard on a table or surface for typing. The only thing that a person will need to properly run their computer is blank wall and empty desk. Ports are placed on the left hand side of the Froot and the right side of the device features a DVD drive.

The Froot could be beneficial to the environment. The use of a virtual monitor and keyboard could eliminate much of the material that goes into creating computers. In essence, the Froot is more than a concept; it's an idea that caters to sustainability. This means that there will be less junk and trash in landfills.

To create the Froot, Pauline used a biodegradable case where the two projectors are housed. The only thing that the Froot is missing is mouse. The mouse issue probably won't be solved with a third projector.
