Police: 22-year-old woman a 'person of interest' in Vegas shooting
(Reuters) - Police identified a 22-year-old woman on Tuesday as a "person of interest" in the slaying of an aspiring rapper who was shot and killed while driving his Maserati on the Las Vegas strip and for the deaths of two more people in a fiery crash that ensued.
Las Vegas police said Tineesha Lashun Howard was riding in a black Range Rover with prime suspect Ammar Harris when he opened fire on the Maserati being driven by 27-year-old Kenneth Wayne Cherry Jr. before dawn on Thursday.
Cherry, who performed under the name "Kenny Clutch," was mortally wounded and his silver sports car veered out of control, colliding with a taxicab in an intersection at the heart of the strip, near several casino resort hotels.
Harris, 26, has been the subject of a multistate manhunt since the incident, and police say he has a long criminal history that includes arrests for robbery, sexual assault, kidnapping and soliciting prostitution.
Police believe Harris is "involved in the sex trade," said Las Vegas Metropolitan Police spokesman Officer Bill Cassell.
Harris is described as having several tattoos, including a large black-eyed owl on his neck and small heart on his upper right cheek.
Police officials described Howard as a "missing and possibly endangered individual" from the Miami area.
"She's listed as a missing person," Cassell said. "How she went missing is part of the Miami Police Department's investigation."
Several photos released by the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department showed Howard and Harris together in each others' arms. In one of them they are seen riding in a sport utility vehicle, possibly the Range Rover.
The Range Rover used in the shooting, which bore paper dealer plates, has been impounded by police, but officials have not said where they found the luxury sport utility vehicle. No weapons were recovered from inside.
Earlier on Tuesday, Las Vegas taxicab companies pledged $35,000 toward a reward fund for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Harris.
Authorities say the dramatic shooting in a busy intersection of the desert resort city may have stemmed from a verbal altercation in the valet area of the Aria Resort and Casino a few blocks away on the Strip.
The incident took place less than a mile from where rapper Tupac Shakur was fatally shot in September 1996 while riding in a BMW with Death Row Records co-founder Marion "Suge" Knight after the two men had attended a Mike Tyson boxing match.
Shakur, 25, was hit by gunfire from at least one assailant in a Cadillac while sitting in Knight's car at the intersection of Flamingo Road and Koval Lane and died six days later at a hospital. His murder remains unsolved.

Sanctions relief offered in Iranian nuclear talks
ALMATY, Kazakhstan (AP) ? World powers, fearful of scuttling negotiations beginning this week with Iran, are offering the Islamic republic some small new sanctions relief in return for curbing its nuclear program. But officials warned Monday that it's unlikely that any compromise will be reached soon.
Negotiators set low expectations for the latest round of high-level diplomatic talks to begin Tuesday in Kazakhstan's largest city ? the first since last June's meeting in Moscow that threatened to derail delicate efforts to convince Iran to stop enriching uranium to a level close to that used for nuclear warheads.
The stakes couldn't be higher: the Obama administration is pushing for diplomacy to solve the impasse but has not ruled out the possibility of military intervention in Iran to prevent it from acquiring a nuclear weapon. And Israel has threatened it will use all means to stop Iran from being able to build a bomb, potentially as soon as this summer, raising the specter of a possible Mideast war.
Tehran maintains it is enriching uranium only to make reactor fuel and medical isotopes, and insists it has a right to do so under international law. It has signaled it does not intend to stop, despite harsh international sanctions on its oil and financial sectors, and U.N. nuclear inspectors last week confirmed Iran has begun a major upgrade of its program at the country's main uranium enrichment site.
The clerical regime's refusal frustrates the international community, which has responded by slapping Iran with a host of economic sanctions that U.S. officials said have, among other things, cut the nation's daily oil output by 1 million barrels and slashed its employment rate. But, in a twist, negotiators now hope that easing some of the sanctions will make Tehran more agreeable to halting production of 20 percent enriched uranium ? the highest grade of enrichment that Iran has acknowledged and one that experts say could be turned into warhead grade in a matter of months.
Negotiators from the six world powers ? United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany ? also want Iran to suspend enrichment in its underground Fordo nuclear facility, and to ship its stockpile of high-grade uranium out of the country.
"We are pleased that they have come together for talks because it's been eight months since Moscow. We wanted to come together for talks earlier than this," said Michael Mann, spokesman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, who is leading the negotiations. "What's important to us is that they engage in these negotiations and take seriously what we've put on the table.
"No one is expecting everyone to walk out of here with a deal, but if we can have some forward momentum and they can show a willingness to take a confidence-building step, that's very important," Mann told reporters on Monday. He described the world powers' newest gambit as "a good offer" but declined to say what it would include.
A senior U.S. official at the talks said some sanctions relief would be part of the offer to Iran but also refused to detail it. The new relief is part of a package that the U.S. official said included "substantive changes ? whether you'd call them super-substantial, I'll leave to history." The official acknowledged reports earlier this month that sanctions would be eased to allow Iran's gold trade to progress, but would neither confirm nor deny they are included in the new relief offer, and spoke only on condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive diplomatic talks more candidly.
The senior U.S. official also noted the possibility that Iran would face new pressures if it fails to comply with international concerns. That could include toughening the impact of the sanctions already in place by enforcing them more strictly, or imposing new sanctions altogether as Iran moves forward with its program.
Western powers have hoped that the Iranian public would suffer under sanctions so badly that the government would feel a moral obligation to slow its nuclear program. The U.S. official attributed the decline in Iranian currency, the rial, and the decrease in oil production to Western sanctions.
Iran has been unimpressed with earlier offers by the powers to provide it with medical isotopes and lift sanctions on spare parts for civilian airliners, and new bargaining chips that Tehran sees as minor are likely to be snubbed as well. Iran insists, as a starting point, that world powers must recognize the republic's right to enrich uranium.
In a sign that Tehran is in no hurry to reach a compromise, Iran's foreign minister has no plans to meet with officials of the International Atomic Energy Agency Tuesday when he visits Vienna to attend an unrelated conference. Diplomats in Vienna suggested the decision by Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi reflects a deadlock on the agency's attempts to probe Tehran's atomic work. IAEA officials recently suggested related talks needed to pause after dragging on without results. The diplomats demanded anonymity because their information was confidential.
Still, last week, Salehi spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said the Almaty talks could provide an important opportunity so long as the two sides were dealing with each other as equals and making offers of "same level, same weight."
"We will offer ways for removing possible concerns and ambiguities to show our goodwill, if Western countries, especially the U.S., fully recognize the nuclear rights of countries, which shows their goodwill," Mehmanparast told reporters in Tehran.
In London, Secretary of State John Kerry said an Iran with nuclear weapons was "simply unacceptable" and warned the time limit for a diplomatic solution was running out.
"As we have repeatedly made clear, the window for a diplomatic solution simply cannot remain open forever," said Kerry, on his first international tour as America's top diplomat. "But it is open today. It is open now and there is still time, but there is only time if Iran makes the decision to come to the table and to negotiate in good faith. We are prepared to negotiate in good faith, in mutual respect, in an effort to avoid whatever terrible consequences could follow failure and so the choice really is in the hands of the Iranians. And we hope they will make the right choice."
An analysis released Monday by the International Crisis Group concluded that the web of international sanctions have become so entrenched in Iran's political and economic systems that they cannot be easily lifted piece-by-piece. It found that Tehran's clerical regime has begun adapting its policy to the sanctions, despite their crippling effect on the Iranian public. Doing so, the analysis concluded, has divided the public's anger "between a regime viewed as incompetent and an outside world seen as uncaring."
"As far as Iran is concerned, it is too late to reverse course. The massive sanctions regime is in place, warts and all, and not about to be removed," the analysis concluded. It recommended that the world powers "devise a package of incentives, including some less than complete degree of relief, that is politically as well as legally achievable and that genuinely addresses Iranian concerns."
Several diplomats in Almaty said any major breakthrough in the negotiations likely won't come until after Iran's presidential elections in June ? especially if the world powers refuse to offer anything that Tehran can use to show as some kind of major concession by the West.

The specter of Vancouver real estate downturn: a lonely realtor and ...
"Well, this is a bit odd." The broker checks his phone again, but it's not saying anything new.
It's been an hour, and nobody has shown up to the open house. The broker's name is Dan. We're standing on the ground floor of a townhouse in the Koret Building.
East Hastings Street, across from the best pizza in Vancouver. The Downtown East Side, but it's silent except for CBC Radio 3: classical music plays quietly from tiny, beautiful speakers that can probably only play classical music. Top-40 would cause them to implode.
Dan walks out the door, across the long, wide patio, to the front gate of the courtyard. He's making sure his phone number is correct on the open-house announcement. It is.
A bright, sunny Saturday in Vancouver. Just after lunch, and there's nobody here but us.
A brief history of the loft building
The Koret Lofts began their metamorphosis in 2004. At the time, the DTES offered only urban blight, and nothing artisanal or hipster. Developers eyed East Cordova as a golden opportunity, and they were right.
In 2007, the Koret Building's 118 lofts and townhouses were available to the real-estate-hungry public. Since then, each unit has appreciated to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Dan and I are hanging out in a split-level space that's selling for $649,000. The owners are confident that they'll get their asking price. At the moment, I'm not so sure.
Besides this one, two lofts and another townhouse were listed on the same day. Another unit, a two-thousand-square-foot space on the sixth floor, has been on the market since October last year. At $1.75 million, Dan considers that one to be "way overpriced", roof deck or no.
(The townhouse next door is listed at the same price as this one, and is slightly bigger. Its owners have a reel-to-reel recorder, and thus may be winning in the vintage-swag game.)
I explore the townhouse, as there's little else to do. Cement floors, drywall over what was once exposed brick. Massive wooden beams to remind us that this was once an industrial space: a steelworks for ship repairs is our best guess.
The current owners installed a vintage schoolroom pencil sharpener on the thick wooden column by the patio door. Dan and I wonder where the pencils are, and if the owners will take the sharpener with them when they sell. For six hundred fifty thousand, I'd want the pencil sharpener thrown in. It would make or break the deal.
The townhouse faces the alley though a secure gate. "It's a bit of a fishbowl," the broker tells me. The alley doesn't go all the way through, so there isn't much foot traffic. I only hear a few shouts throughout the day; as well as several insistent whistles, which turn out to be Dan's iPhone ringtone. The patio has barbecues and a long table, an urban oasis for entertaining.
Back inside, the kitchen screams "European design", with simple, functional fixtures. One of those flexible faucets that you can remove from its housing, and, should the mood strike you, spray anywhere in the room. These people own a fondue set. I've never seen one outside a restaurant or store before. Every kitchen implement is elegant and pristine. Le Creuset everything. The knives are sharp. The muddler has never been used. Why am I so determined to prove to myself that the current owners don't cook? What does it matter?
CBC Radio 3 fades to silence as I step further into the space. Past the kitchen and its sensible island is a heavy wooden table, host to a single lamp. The bookshelf belabours the point that the owners are into design. You'd never buy a place like this if design wasn't important to you. Issues of Wallpaper by the dozen. Massive tomes on art and photography. Some vintage thrift-store titles:
The Beginner's Guide to Guinea Pigs
Know Your Poodle
Persian Cats
The urge to rifle through each title is nearly overpowering. They're using reclaimed railroad spikes as paperweights.
We've now been here for an hour. Nobody has shown up to explore this temple of thoughtful living.
'It's not Fluevog!'
Dan exhales, says, "It's a waiting game." He's not talking about this afternoon, but the current real estate environment in Vancouver. "Buyers are sure that the bottom will drop out, so they want to wait for prices to come down."
Sellers are counting on the market staying stable long enough for them to close a deal. Only one of them can be right, but which one? You don't want to be the last one to buy just before the bubble bursts, and you also don't want to learn that the bubble isn't going to burst, just as prices hike yet again.
This townhouse has been on the market for twelve days. Within the first few days, Dan held an open house, and ten couples showed up. One couple put in an offer. As that offer was batted back and forth, an additional couple viewed the townhouse.
Ultimately the deal fell apart: the owners would not budge on the price. Six hundred forty-nine thousand dollars. Perhaps the owners figured that, since they got an initial offer so quickly, then surely a second offer would come along just as quickly.
If the past sixty minutes are any indication, that calculation would appear incorrect.
An apartment or house or loft or townhouse will sit there, not selling... until it sells. There's no real way of knowing when the right buyer will find the right property. That's why brokers such as Dan have jobs: they play matchmaker between potential buyers and, well, if not their dream homes, then at least the best properties that their money can buy.
Still, even the best broker can only do so much. Emotion may drive some of our purchases, but, when we get this far into six digits, logic must take over at some point. No matter how much you love a townhouse, there's a point at which you won't, you can't, spend more money. Dan's eyes widen: "Come on, it's not a pair of shoes! It's not Fluevog!"
Emotion and real estate, that reminds me of the MAC Marketing Solutions scandal. I ask Dan his opinion. He laughs, "It's not just what they did, but that they did it so badly. They could have just found a waitress or whatever, somebody who didn't obviously work for them."
In the case of this DTES townhouse, what should we be making of the lack of foot traffic? So far, this is anecdote and not data, but we'd be crazy not to wonder: Should this silence (save for Radio 3) be written off as an anomaly, or taken as a reality check?
At the car wash
Wooden stairs lead up to the bedroom loft. Behind the bed stands what Dan calls the carwash shower: open on both ends, the stall features a translucent wall though which light can bathe you as the shower showers you. There is no bathtub.
As it's a loft space, you look up to see air ducts and water pipes snake their way among thick wooden beams. The current owners use some of these pipes as clothes-rails to compliment the existing downstairs closet.
What I thought was an upstairs closet turned out to be-- surprise!-- a washer-dryer combo. So, for $649,000, you do get ensuite.
"Where is everybody?" I'm thinking it, he's asking it. A sunny Saturday afternoon, just after lunch. His phone whistles insistently, but it's not a prospective home-buyer.
Vancouver vs New York City
Like me, Dan lived in New York City before winding up in Vancouver. New Yorkers are slightly more real-estate-obsessed than are Vancouverites, but Vancouver has pulled ahead in the unaffordable-housing race.
We discuss New York's affordable-housing program for artists, and how Vancouver offers nothing comparable. Vancouver is okay at covering last-chance housing, but Dan wonders, "What about regular people who are working, but can't pay the rent? [...] I know people who grew up here, and got priced out of the neighbourhoods where they grew up."
It's been an hour and twenty minutes.? At this point, I have already pictured myself living here, though it's unclear what crimes I'd have had to commit in order to supplement my current income to afford this place. With 10% down and a 4% interest rate on a 25-year mortgage, I'd be on the hook for $3,096 per month. This does not include the $270 monthly maintenance fee and $2,153 in annual taxes.
We're discussing the commute from Astoria to Midtown when we're interrupted by a young couple in matching black coats. I almost ask what they're doing here. Dan excuses himself and approaches the couple. The girl shakes his hand, the guy hangs back, hands in pockets, hood up. he looks wary, like he suspects a trap.
They go upstairs together as Dan describes the building, the townhouse itself (1,049 square feet, including a 376-square-foot loft), and the live-work zoning. They're out of earshot, so I can't hear whether or not they like the sexy, sexy bathroom sink.
Dan leads the couple back downstairs and the guy pauses, asks, "So, is it possible to turn the downstairs into... something else?"
Dan asks what the guy has in mind, and I'm hoping he'll say "grow-op". Please, guy, say "grow-op". The guy only wants to use the downstairs space as a personal training studio. It's quite doable, actually. There would be enough room.
The young couple leaves. They were here for three minutes. 180 seconds. Dan and I have now been here for an hour and thirty-one minutes. 5,460 seconds.
Closing time
The next twenty-nine minutes pass without any new visitors, unless they're either very small or very fast. Dan and I talk about skiing, and the effect of this season's relative lack of snowfall on the Blackcomb Glacier.
Dan checks his phone, exhales and begins the process of switching off every light, making sure the townhouse is just as the owners left it. He switches off the small-yet-elegant speakers, silencing Radio 3.
A sunny Saturday, and Dan had to spend it here. He shaved and everything. However, the gleam in his eye does not fade, as he believes that this place will still sell sooner rather than later. Perhaps he's right. After all, "anecdote" doesn't mean the same thing as "data". Real Estate: pessimists need not apply.
He lowers the blinds, which drop with a heavy, reassuring whirr. "These are very expensive," he says, "They won't just break."
I step outside, Dan locks the patio door. The open house is over. The sun is still shining, but now it's windy and cold. I try to put myself in the heads of the owners, people I've never met. I don't even know what they look like, never mind how they'll take the news of today's (non-)events. Is $649,000 too muchall things considered; or is property-Cupid just showing up late?
Dan and I shake hands and part ways. I head west on Cordova Street as he collects the Open House sign. I had earlier asked him if he rented or owned. He used to own, but sold. Now he and his significant other are renting, "Until we figure out what to do next."

Rural areas struggle to find Internet providers | Maryland Daily Record

Kelcie Pegher
ELDERSBURG ? Lush hills and cornfields along acres of land mark Carroll County as a haven for people who want to get away from the city life and compact suburban developments ? but finding reliable and affordable Internet can be a headache in rural areas.
The problem is that many people live away from cable lines which could provide broadband, said Bruce Hall, the owner of Freedom Wireless Broadband. Comcast and Verizon can offer to build a line in order to provide broadband, but the cost to build the line to provide the service is astronomical, Hall said. The broadband company would likely never recoup the costs, Hall said.
?It costs whatever it does to build that network and (broadband providers are) not ever going to make it back in that monthly charge,? Hall said.
It leaves a few options, Hall said. A wireless air card from AT&T or Verizon can be useful in a home without broadband, which is ideal for a light Internet user.
Heidi Sprinkle, who lives on a farm in Hampstead, is not a light Internet user.
The mother of three does design work on the computer and organizes Girl Scout events and communications for a lacrosse team. Her three daughters like to play games on the computer, and her family enjoys streaming Netflix.
?You just burn through it so quickly and any overage usage is phenomenally expensive,? Sprinkle said of using a wireless air card. ?It just didn?t fit our lifestyle.?
She didn?t want dial-up, she said, although dial-up is available in every home because it uses telephone lines. And Sprinkle said she didn?t want DirecTV or any company that tied its television access with Internet access, because she has three young daughters and prefers her daughters to watch public television and Netflix.
Because of the area Sprinkle lives in, her choices are limited, she said.
?We?re in the middle of 300 acres. All my neighbors are four-legged,? Sprinkle said with a laugh.
She signed up for Freedom Wireless Broadband, which serves rural areas in Carroll by creating a wireless hub at 35 different sites around the county. The network equipment sits on top of grain elevators and barns and windmills, Hall said. The hub can connect a network of people, instead of simply serving one customer.
?They call it a grain elevator, we call it a communications tower,? Hall said.
Freedom Wireless Broadband services areas of Md. 26, Sullivan Valley, Gamber, Deer Park, Manchester, Hampstead, Lineboro, Finksburg, Mount Airy and areas of Frederick County. The sites link back together and into Eldersburg where the service comes from, Hall said. Eldersburg has a connection to Baltimore, where broadband flows into the county, Hall said.
In late 2011, the Federal Communications Commission began the Connect America Fund, a national program to modernize its subsidy program for rural telephone service and enable it to expand broadband access in rural areas. The Connect America Fund helps subsidize broadband or phone service in rural areas where providing service can be costly for companies.
Areas aren?t categorized rural just because there is a farm in the backyard though. It depends on whether the local phone company, which is Verizon, in the case of Carroll County, is known as a rural local exchange carrier, according to Mark Wigfield, spokesman for the FCC.
A cost model will calculate the appropriate subsidy down to the census block level, for the cost of providing phone and broadband to a local area. Verizon would then accept the subsidy or decline it. However, the company must accept or decline the subsidies on a statewide basis, even though the subsidies may vary region to region, Wigfield wrote in an email. If the company declines the rural subsidies, other companies could bid to provide the service by using the subsidies offered, Wigfield wrote.
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration began a state broadband initiative to improve information about broadband access. The NTIA and FCC now collect data down to the neighborhood about who has access to broadband and which companies provide it and curate the data on a website called the National Broadband Map.
In Carroll County, 88 percent of the county has access to DSL, through a provider like Verizon, and 91.5 percent of the population has access to cable Internet, such as Comcast, according to the National Broadband Map. The county actually outpaces the nation on cable access, where 87.6 percent of the U.S. has access to cable, but is left behind when it comes to fiber. Fiber offers the fastest download speeds for Internet usage. Nationwide, fiber optic broadband is available to 20.5 percent of the population. Only 0.5 percent of the population in Carroll has access to fiber, according to the map.
Freedom Wireless Broadband would need 240 network sites in order to cover the entire county, Hall said. Freedom Wireless Broadband does not have access to very specific maps of where Comcast and Verizon are, Hall said, so the company mostly finds out about areas that are lacking through potential customers.
?The customers call us,? Hall said.
There are a few options a rural residence has for high-speed Internet: a wireless air card which plugs into a computer, satellite Internet or Freedom Wireless Broadband. For rural residents who live closer to a municipality, working with a retail Internet provider like Quantum Internet Services is also a possibility.
Quantum, or QIS, provides Internet services by piggybacking on the central offices Verizon uses to provide DSL, said Chief Executive Officer Kevin Brown.
Verizon can extend a little less than three and a half miles from its central office to provide DSL, Brown said. Quantum can extend almost to four miles from the central office source, he said.
The farther a person is away from a central office, the less reliable the DSL gets, explained Mike Shelah, a former Quantum employee and senior account executive at Earthlink.
?Instead of having 10 houses on your street, you have 10 houses in your neighborhood. They tend to be too far away from the central office for DSL,? Shelah said.
So while the options exist, most end up with one solution that works for both their bottom line and service area.
?Freedom (Wireless Broadband) is the choice of people who don?t have a better choice,? Hall said.
According to a release from the FCC, the Connect America Fund just completed a comment period for the appropriate cost model of updating rural access on Feb. 15. In August Verizon and AT&T rejected the initial offerings from the FCC for the Connect America Fund. In Verizon?s 2011 annual report, the company wrote of providing rural Internet access through wireless air card services.
The current model for determining the cost of developing the infrastructure is ongoing, according to the release from the FCC.
With Internet service providers working with the federal government on ways to appropriately solve rural America?s Internet access woes, Carroll residents without access to broadband will be stuck waiting.

2 adults, 2 kids missing after abandoning sailboat
By Ronnie Cohen, Reuters
SAN FRANCISCO ? A sea search was under way late Sunday for two adults and two children missing after sending a distress call that their sailboat was in trouble south of San Francisco, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The 29-foot craft was about 65 miles off the coast of Pillar Point, at the northern end of Half Moon Bay, when a member of the crew radioed late Sunday afternoon that the vessel was taking on water and that its electronics were failing, the Coast Guard said.
About an hour later, the vessel operator reported that the four people aboard the boat, two of them children under the age of 8, were abandoning the craft, and the Coast Guard lost radio communications with them.
The Coast Guard said in a statement that the four people from the missing vessel, believed to be named the Charmblow, might have made it into a makeshift life raft, but that their fate was not known.
Coast Guard aircraft and sea vessels conducted several searches of the area without success, and additional Coast Guard resources were to join in the operation, the agency said in its statement.?
