All Radia tapes should be made public apex court told Niira Radia tapes became public after Ratan Tata

The government is looking at how the Niira Radia tapes became public, after Ratan Tata, chairman of the Tata group that is represented by Radia, approached the Supreme Court to protect his privacy.

The Supreme Court was Tuesday told that the transcripts of corporate lobbyist Niira Radias telephonic conversations relating to the 2G spectrum allocation scandal should not be held back from the public gaze as the people had a right to know how officials were functioning.

“People have a right to know what the public officials were doing," senior counsel Prashant Bhushan told an apex court bench of Justice G.S. Singhvi and Justice A.K. Ganguly.

Bhushan, who appeared in the apex court for the Centre for Public Interest Litigation, told the court that the intercepts were a telling commentary on how things were done in the government.

“I have just filed 104 conversations," Bhushan said, adding that there was an attempt that transcripts of 5,851 intercepts do not see the light of the day.

He said that people have a right to know about every transaction and conversation in the spectrum scandal.

The senior counsel told the court that these tapes revealed how corporate lobbyist Radia had access to nearly every bureaucrat and could get any information.

Bhushan said she was trying to manipulate the proceedings of parliament so that a particular corporate house could benefit to the tune of Rs.81,000 crore in tax concessions.

The court said: "In a way, you are trying to say that she is virtually controlling the parliamentary proceedings."

When Bhushan described Radia as a wheeler dealer, the court observed: “According to her she is a consultant and according to you she is wheeler dealer.”

New Delhi, Nov 30 – India’s external affairs ministry has refused to comment on the leak of secret US diplomatic cables, but asserted that it continues to have a ‘candid’ dialogue with the United States on various issues.

‘We would prefer not to comment on the issue of Wikileaks which purportedly are an account of privileged internal US government assessments and correspondence,’ said external affairs ministry spokesperson Vishnu Prakash.

The US has already reached out to India following WikiLeaks’ embarrassing disclosures that was condemned by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, as the American envoy in India assured New Delhi that it welcomes its ‘greater global leadership’ role in the world.

‘We have a multi-faceted and forward looking strategic partnership with the United States and there is a regular, open and candid dialogue between the two countries, on a number of matters of mutual interest,’ asserted Prakash.

Clinton Monday branded the leaks as an ‘attack on the international community’, saying the illegal disclosure of secret information ‘puts people’s lives in danger, threatens our national security and undermines our efforts to work with other countries to solve shared problems’.

‘This disclosure is not just an attack on America’s foreign policy; it is an attack on the international community, the alliances and partnerships, the conventions and negotiations that safeguard global security and advance economic prosperity,’ she said.

In New Delhi, US Ambassador Timothy Roemer said: ‘The United States welcomes a greater global leadership role for India and values its perspectives on how to meet common challenges, including countering terrorism, securing our maritime domains, and working together to promote democratic, political and economic development around the world.’

He said US President Barack Obama during his recent visit to India had described relations with India as one of the ‘defining partnership of the 21st century’.

Google has announced the release of Google Earth 6. The latest version is available for Windows, OS X and Linux

Google has announced the release of Google Earth 6. The latest version is available for Windows, OS X and Linux.

Google Earth 6, which incorporates a more seamless Street View experience and adds 3D trees.

Google added Street View to Google Earth in 2008, but to see the Street View imagery, you’d have to click on a camera icon layered over the Google Earth imagery. Now, Street View is fully integrated with the product, so users can zoom in and see 360-degree, street-level images automatically.

Pegman, the orange icon used to navigate Street View, is also now docked alongside the Google Earth navigation controls.

“Just pick up Pegman and drop him wherever you see a highlighted blue road to fly right down to the ground. Once there, you can use the navigation controls or your mouse to look around,” Peter Birch, a Google product manager, wrote in a blog post. “And unlike our earlier Street View layer, you can now move seamlessly from one location to another as if you’re walking down the street by using the scroll-wheel on your mouse or the arrow keys on your keyboard.”

Hit the “exit” button to return to the aerial view.

Also new in Google Earth 6 is 3D trees. “While we’ve just gotten started planting trees in Google Earth, we already have more than 80 million trees in places such as Athens, Berlin, Chicago, New York City, San Francisco and Tokyo,” Birch wrote.

To see the trees, turn on the 3D buildings layer on the left side panel. One location that has the 3D trees is the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco. “Click the zoom slider, [and] you’ll then be taken down to the ground where you can use our new ground-level navigation to walk among the trees,” Birch said.

In October, Google added WWII images to the historical layer on Google Earth. Version six makes it easier to discover these and other historical images.

“When you fly to an area where historical imagery is available, the date of the oldest imagery will appear in the status bar at the bottom of the screen,” Birch wrote. “If you click on this date, you’ll instantly be taken back in time to view imagery from that time period.”

Google Earth 6 is available now on the Google Earth site.

Dakota Fanning Pictures

Birth Name : Hannah Dakota Fanning

Date Of Birth : February 23, 1994

Height : 5? 4?

Age : 16

Hannah Dakota Fanning, better known simply as Dakota Fanning, is an American actress. Fanning’s breakthrough performance was in I Am Sam in 2001. As a child actress, she appeared in high-profile films such as Man on Fire, War of the Worlds, and Charlotte’s Web. Fanning began transitioning to more adult roles with Hounddog and The Secret Life of Bees. Recent films have included The Twilight Saga and The Runaways. She has won numerous awards and is the youngest person to have been nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award.

Dakota Fanning was born in Conyers, Georgia, the daughter of Joy (née Arrington), who played tennis professionally, and Steve Fanning, who played minor league baseball and now works as an electronics salesman in Los Angeles. Her maternal grandfather was former American football player, Rick Arrington, and her aunt is former ESPN reporter Jill Arrington. Dakota is the older sister of Elle Fanning, also an actress.

She also portrayed the title characters of Ally McBeal and The Ellen Show as young girls. In 2001, Fanning was chosen to star opposite Sean Penn in the movie I Am Sam, the story of a mentally challenged man who fights for the custody of his daughter (played by Fanning).

Eddie Cibrian Biography

Birth Place: Burbank, California, U.S.

Birth Name: Edward Bryant Cibrian

Age: 37

Height: 6? 2? (1.88 m)

Born June 16, 1973 in Burbank, California, Eddie Cibrian was raised in the San Fernando Valley. The only child of Carlos and Hortensia Cibrian, both of Cuban descent, Eddie Cibrian became interested in acting at the age of 13 when he found out that a fellow classmate had broken into the business doing commercials. After discussing it with his parents, Eddie landed an agent and booked seven commercials over the next two years, landing a national Coca-Cola commercial on his very first audition. While he enjoyed the work, the auditions prevented him from participating in school sports. A natural athlete, Eddie decided to put his acting career on hold in favour of joining the high school football team.

After graduating from Montclair High School, Eddie Cibrian enrolled as a Business/Economics major at UCLA and took on a part-time job to make ends meet. However, he missed the challenge and excitement of working in the entertainment industry, and shortly afterwards decided to give acting another shot. Eddie Cibrian quickly signed with an agent and began working almost immediately, his first work being a starring role in Malcolm-Jamal Warner’s Emmy Award-winning television special, Kids Killing Kids. From there it was on to daytime television, where Eddie Cibrian starred for three years as Matt Clark on The Young and the Restless. His other daytime credits include a featured role on The Bold and the Beautiful. In addition, he appeared in multiple episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210 as well as on NBC’s Saved by the Bell: The College Years. He also gained a starring role in Baywatch Nights as Griff Walker, alongside David Hasslehoff.

In February 1997, Eddie Cibrian joined the cast of Sunset Beach as Cole Deschanel, the handsome jewel thief and grandson of town founder Armando Deschanel. Eddie has recently starred in TV movies, The Hitman, Logan’s War – Bound By Honour, and also his feature film debut in Living Out Loud with Holly Hunter, Queen Latifah and Danny DeVito, released in the US on November 6th 1998. Logan’s War…Bound By Honour, co-starring with martial arts master Chuck Norris, sees Eddie Cibrian playing a young man who’s after the mob in an attempt to avenge his family’s deaths.

In Living Out Loud, he plays a masseur and his scenes are said to be extremely hot. Eddie signed to star in the 1999 feature But I’m A Cheerleader with RuPaul, in which he plays the part of a gay man. A new aspect to his ever-expanding CV was the recent release of Yes Yes Yes… No No No as one third of the all-male trio 3Deep. Although releases have so far been restricted to Canada only, the group are hoping for wider reaching success in the near future.

In his spare time, Eddie Cibrian enjoys playing golf, football, tennis, basketball, baseball, and volleyball. Eddie Cibrian also is an avid skier and motorcyclist! Eddie Cibrian is involved in a number of charitable organizations, including the Make a Wish Foundation, the American Paralysis Association, and Stitches, a group in South Central Los Angeles that provides kids with an alternative to gangs. Eddie Cibrian is engaged and lives in Toluca Lake, California. His birthday is June 16.

Document Identification Number DIN Number New ID for Tax Payer

The taxpayers as well as collectors will have to mention a unique Document Identification Number (DIN) with their communication with the Income Tax (I-T) department.

The Document Identification Number (DIN) is on the lines of the existing Permanent Account Number (PAN) and Tax Deduction Account number (TAN).

According to the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT), Document Identification Number/DIN will be compulsory with respect to every notice, order, letter or any tax-related communication, including the filing of returns for the financial year 2010-11.

The Document Identification Number (DIN) will be generated by the I-T department and will distribute the numbers to assessees soon.

Interestingly, the Income tax officials will also be allotted the numbers to streamline the tax filing process. Thus, the taxpayers and the tax officials will have to mention the DIN on every communication. Any communication without DIN will be considered no communication.

DIN is expected to be useful for an error-free filing of returns and claiming refunds by the tax payers. A new Section 282B (in the Finance Act, 2010, ) was inserted for the allotment of DIN. The new section has come into effect from October 1, 2010.

Under the provisions of the section 282B of the Finance Act, 2010, every I-T official shall allot a computer-generated DIN in respect of every notice, order, letter or correspondence issued by him to any other income tax authority, assessee, or any other person and such number shall be quoted thereon. It further says, “the document, which does not bear DIN shall be treated as invalid and be deemed never to have been issued. The same applies for the documents received by an I-T authority, or on behalf of such authority”.

It is certainly a welcome move by the tax department as DIN aims at bringing more transparency in tax administration but it will pose a great challange for the tax administrators as it involves a number of documents and pro formas.
