BRICs and beyond: Foreign firms face fight for India's biscuit market
By Mini Pant Zachariah | 18 March 2011
Kraft Foods' recent move to launch its Oreo biscuit brand into India has drawn attention to what is a growing sector in the country. India's biscuit market is attracting growing multinational interest but powerful domestic players already dominate the market and the jury is out over whether foreign companies can easily grab market share. Mini Pant Zachariah reports for just-food from Mumbai.
India's US$2.4bn biscuit market is drawing multinational companies to its shores. According to Euromonitor data, the sector is growing at 14% annually, so the channel holds much promise, but will the world's food giants have the nous to turn this local demand into significant profits?
Oreo, from US giant Kraft Foods, is the most recent international arrival to this multi-billion dollar biscuit party.
Last year, GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare launched high-end cookies and cream biscuits under its Horlicks brand, to join its existing value lines and a Junior Horlicks biscuit for young children. The UK's United Biscuits, meanwhile, brought its McVitie's digestive biscuits to India. PepsiCo is set to soon follow up its 2009 offering of Aliva, a baked-savoury cracker, with a healthy oat-based cookie. And there have also been rumours that Hindustan Unilever is developing plans to re-enter the Indian biscuit market it left in 2005.
India offers volume and value-based growth for these companies. "What was considered as a sick-man's diet earlier is now a favoured quick bite by most people. Because of this, the category has been growing at 10% consistently over the last three to four years," Pratichee Kapoor, associate director at Indian management consultants Technopak, tells just-food.
This is why Kraft opted to launch Oreo through its local arm Cadbury India. "We see tremendous opportunity in the biscuits category as the fastest-growing processed food segment in India," Chandramouli Venkatesan, a Cadbury India director, tells just-food.
Quoting an AC Nielsen study, Venkatesan notes that the category grew by 17% in 2010. "Indian consumers are looking for newer and more innovative products, and are seeking global products to meet their own local taste profiles and preferences. We believe Oreo will meet, and even exceed consumers' expectations in India," Venkatesan says.
Starting at a price tag as low as Indian Rupees INR 2 (USD0.04 cents), biscuits offer the easiest and cheapest entry point for branded food companies in India. The organised sector in India - the country's commercial food makers - makes up 70% of the total biscuit market and produces 2m tonnes of biscuits annually, according to Mayank Shah, group product manager for Indian biscuit major Parle Products. Still, India's annual per capita biscuit consumption is a mere 2kg, compared to 6.8kg in the UK and 7.2kg in the US, says K P Mohandas, secretary general of New Delhi-based Indian Biscuit Manufacturers Association.
The functional segment (including glucose and digestives) has dominated the Indian market and is remains in steady growth, with sales up 8% per annum. However, by contrast, the smaller indulgence segment, comprising cream, chocolate biscuits and cookies is growing at an annual rate of 25% to 30% thanks to rising disposable incomes and growth in modern retail outlets, according to a study by the ICFAI Business School in Ahmedabad.
Market shares are shifting as a result. Functional biscuits once made up 80% of total biscuit sales but this is now down to 70%, according to Parle's Shah. The move has prompted Parle to venture into the cream and cookie segment in a bid to consolidate its leadership position – it currently controls 42% of India's biscuit market followed by Britannia Industries at 25% and Indian Tobacco Co.'s (ITC) 10%.
Shah tells just-food: "We are looking at opportunities in categories where consumers are evolving. Bourbon is one such category."
Parle, through its Parle-G brand, has been almost synonymous with glucose biscuits in India but has now expanded its portfolio with 20:20 cookies and the Hide & Seek and Hide & Seek Milano chocolate biscuits. Britannia, meanwhile, launched premium cookies Pure Magic in 2007 and Treat –O in 2010, although the latter prompted a lawsuit from Kraft, which claimed they were too similar to Oreo. The case is ongoing and a hearing is scheduled for 28 April.
Meanwhile, Cadbury's Venkatesan is eyeing retail outlets in both urban and semi-urban markets to reach consumers, especially the wealthier ones. "Our priority segments include the 10m households across India that contributes to 70% of cream and biscuit sales."
His enthusiasm is, however, not shared by Nikhil Vora, managing director of research at Indian equities firm IDFC Securities Ltd. He says there is "limited room for global players in the biscuit sector" and notes that GlaxoSmithKline or Unibic have "so far failed to make a mark".
Vora warns: "The global players are making a big strategic blunder. They should enter the glucose segment, take the market share and then move the customer up (to premium and indulgence brands)."
At the Indian Biscuit Manufacturers Association, Mohandas recalls that US food maker Sara Lee vanished from the sector in 2001 after a brief stint.
He says: "This is a high volume, low margin industry. The MNCs are eyeing the high-end market which accounts for less than 30% of biscuits sold in India."
And the Indian consumer does look for value - Parle G created huge sales by offering cream cookies at INR5 (US$0.11) for 80 grams.
"In the absence of product differentiation, the game is about pricing and distribution. The local players are already active here. Even at the peak, I do not see the MNCs capturing more than 10% to 15% of Indian market share," says Vora.
Manufactured locally, Oreo is offered at affordable price points of INR5 for three biscuits, to INR20 for 14. "The new entrants can give three biscuits for an offer price of five rupees but they will need volumes to sustain at that level," says Shah.
The likes of Kraft, then, have their work cut out for them as they look to take a bite out of India's biscuit market.

The City Gallery at the Melbourne Town Hall is crawling with possums, owls, moths and other twilight creatures in the new exhibition, Crepuscular. Here you can observe the animals that often escape our notice as we rush home from work or retreat from winter to cosier climates indoors.
Curated by honorary Museum Victoria associate, John Kean, the exhibition includes specimens and Prodromus illustrations on loan from MV, and specially-commissioned taxidermy by Dean Smith (who also works as a senior museum preparator). There are also new artworks by local artists Alexis Beckett, Mali Moir, and John Pastoiza-Pinol,and I couldn't tear my eyes away from the exquisite portraits of invertebrates by botanical artist Dianne Emery.

Crepuscular presents a fascinating picture of the life in urban Melbourne that exists and persists despite – but sometimes because of – human activity. For every loser there's a winner: clearing habitat has caused the loss of many species (such as quolls, which remained in remnant populations at Kew's Studley Park until just a few decades ago) but plantings of exotic trees have been a boon for others. An abundance of fruit trees drew in the Grey-headed Flying Foxes for the first time, while Powerful Owls have emerged from the forests to take up residence in city parks and grow fat on the possums.
Crepuscular is on at the City Gallery until 6 July 2011. Be sure to find the spot in the room where all eyes are upon you...

Leave a lasting legacy
Taking the steps listed above will help smooth the transition to your new position. Leaving a position on your own terms often allows you to have closure when you move to your next endeavor. For some people, the typical two weeks' notice allows closure, for others the transition can take months, often while completing one set of projects in the former position while beginning the new one. Do what you can to leave a legacy that helps the next person to succeed with theirs.

"Central good value for money easy access to Metro."
Very enjoyable. Hotel staff very friendly. Breakfast good - wide choice from fresh fruit and vegetables to hot cooked meal. Good selection of bread and cakes and beverages. Good sized bedroom and bathroom fresh toiletries supplied daily as well as fresh good sized towels when requested. Reception staff very helpful and friendly excellent standard of […] spoken english. One word of warning garage height is limited to smaller cars but hotel does allow for a limited number of large cars to park at front of the hotel. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Good all-round hotel"
Really liked this hotel. Room very comfortable. Very close to metro (blue and red line so convenient for airport). The selection of food/drinks available at breakfast was great. Great to have wi-fi in room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Easy access to metro and about 10 mins to centre"
Comfortable hotel with good sized rooms. Cooked breakfast was very good and there was plenty of choice of food. Access to the airport and central Lisbon is easy from the local metro station (S Sebastiao red line for airport and blue line for centre). Helpful service at reception to find various locations and the hotel staff provided a city map.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Decent hotel in a good location"
The hotel was in a good location, a little way away from a metro station (São Sebastião) which is on a couple of lines, and near to the Gulbenkian Institute and El Corte Inglés department store. In general the service was very good (though the cleaners a little over-eager, given all the things I left out were very neatly ordered by size when I got back […] in the afternoon!) I was a little disappointed by the cost of internet access though, particularly as the hotel's English-language website states that it's available for free. There were also a lot of tour buses in towards the end of the week, which made finding a seat for breakfast somewhat tricky, even getting down at about 7:15 Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel but with issues"
A modern hotel in a good location, not downtown Lisbon but near a metro station. The problems we had were that the bed was so hard that we couldn't sleep in it and there were no foamies to add to soften the sleep, you could hear people clearly talking in the rooms next door, and (most frustrating of all), the free wireless internet in the room was unpredictable. […] It would work for awhile, then knock you out in the middle of a long email (which was lost), or let you in with the password one time but not the next two times, or not let you in at all. I spent a lot of time trying to get the internet to work. On the positive side, the staff at the hotel were very helpful and the breakfast was very good. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"family stay"
The room looks a little bit different then on pictures is smaller and I'd say not looking so good... I'd give him 3 stars max but in general good location and very friendly staff also food is good in it. If they put you on lover floors you can get some large noise from the street.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Friendly hotel in Lisbon"
Not a bad hotel to stay. Safe area. Near to Metro as well. But disappointing as no hot water for 3 evenings in a row (may have been a temporary issue but not what you would expect from a 4 star hotel) The restaurant is not adequate for vegetarians at lunchtime or for an evening meal, but breakfast buffet was good. Staff were helpful and friendly at […] reception desk always willing to help. I would recommend the hotel if the hot water issue is resolved. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"A good place to stay in Lisbon"
Nice stay, good price and helpful staff. Would use again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Good hotel, good location & poor air conditioning"
Stayed at this hotel for 2 days. Location was ideal. 2-3 minute walk from St. Sebastiano station and a direct train to the airport + downtown. We are vegetarians and found the breakfast sufficient. The most painful part of our stay was the air-conditioning. It was horrible and the hotel staff tried to fix it by changing the thermostat from 12 to 8 Deg […] C, at which point I realized neither the thermostat worked nor he knew what he was doing. On the positive side, we are glad we stayed in September and not in peak summer. Finding a decent restaurant close by was a struggle after 9.00pm. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"Value for the money"
Hotel was nice and clean, front desk staff were pleasant and helpful. Well located close to airport and city Centre, metro 2 blocks Away. Breakfast was good, lots of variety, fresh fruit, yogurt, cheese, meat, breads, pastries and also a hot table with eggs and bacon. Free wifi was available but you had to ask at the front desk for the access code All […] in all a pleasant experience we would certainly come back. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Exceeded expectations, very nice."
I based my choice of hotel on existing reviews of the hotel, location and price. The reviews seemed reasonable, apparently not overpriced and although not in the heart of Lisbon, it seemed to be fairly easy to get around (on Google maps). Breakfast wasn't included in the price, but offered as a bolt-on for an extra 6 Euros per day; seemed reasonable […] enough and not loosing out on too much if it was terrible (at least you could have a tea/coffee, juice and some toast). The breakfast was surprisingly adequate with a wide selection of hot and cold food on offer. The room was nothing spectacular, but very very clean and well kept, which is the main thing; I'm on short break in a beautiful city, the room is for sleeping in, end-of. Beware the fridge! It's tiny and there's no room for anything other than the drinks the hotel have supplied. The location is spot on, 12 euros in a cab from the Airport (or 1.25 to Sao Sebastio Metro station had we known!). 15 minute cab ride, we opted for metro on the way home and that took about 20 minutes. Sao Sebastio station is literally around the corner from the hotel. 4 stops on 'Linha Azul' to Restauradores and you're right in the heart of Lisbon, so very accessible to the sights, but far away enough for a peaceful night's sleep. Lots of restaurants near the hotel or just hop on the Metro downtown. The staff weren't overly cheerful, but they were polite, helpful and spoke good English (as do a lot of the locals to be fair). Recommended!! Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Very good hotel in Lisbon"
Pros:near metro Sation (Sao sebatiao -blue line connection to most importanta sights of the city);bedroom is cleaned every day, very good breakfast (can be better if they will try a little more),very attentive and ready to help receptionists (they we show you or look for what you need irrespective the time of the day);late check out without paying anything; […] one of the cheapest buffet dinner in town (16 eur/person serving cold starters,hot dish and cookies).5 minutes walking to El Corte Ingles shopping mall and supermarket , and 2-3 minutes to Gulbenkian Museum. Cons:internet costs 2,5Eur/hour but the main problem is not the cost but the PC and printer (I have stayed about 40 minutes to make the check in for the flight back ,and I was not able to print the boarding pass - helpfully the guy from the recption print it for me) Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"very satisfied"
The floor of the room was carpet. and that is the only negative point of clean room.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Great time in Lisbon"
Excellent value. Good location - close to Metro. Great breakfast buffet.Genuine Expedia guest review
"A functional hotel"
The hotel is very well priced and the location is in a quiet neighbourhood. It is close to the Metro, although if you want a city centre location don't choose this hotel. I would query it being 4star , but the breakfast was very good.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Four friends on an April break"
A very comfortable hotel, with helpful staff. Very conveniently situated for shopping and the metro in a quietly pleasant location.Genuine Expedia guest review
Hotel is clean, and staff are professional, but lacks a certain warmth. The rooms are large, but with slightly outdated bathroom styles, very old TVs with poor reception, and the connecting door to adjacent rooms makes them extremely bad for noise. Breakfast is varied and very good, with a good range and nice quality. Location is quiet and safe, but […] quite far from city centre and tourist sites. Good for access to Gebulkian museum and park. Staff helpful for directions and recommendations. For those hoping for a romantic getaway, the hotel is good value and adequate, but does not excel in any particular area, and is rather sterile. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Good value, convenient for Lisbon sites"
Good location within easy reach of airport buses and metro system. Friendly and efficient staff. Comfortable and well appointed room. Good value buffet in the restaurant and excellent breakfast.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Cheep but very nice and clean Hotel"
lovely hotel near Edward 7th park and on doorstep of El Corte Ingles and Gulbenkian museum. 5 minutes ride from the city centre( or a leisurely 40 minute walk)staff at the reception very helpful, very good price, lovely comfortable beds. there was a lovely restaurant La Finestra right next door to this hotel, we ended up eating there every night of […] our stay(people queing for tables. try the Scallopine alla Finestra, lovely). for breakfast you can choose a bufes at the hotel, but we opted for a cafe where locals go - Confeitaria Valbom just across the road from the hotel(coffee and croisant for 2 adults for under 4euros!!!) Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Nice hotel with good transport links to the city."
Overall i was very pleased with the quality of Hotel and the service i received. The rooms are comfortable and spacious and most of the staff were attentive and also informative of the area. We decided not to eat breakfast at the Hotel due to astronomical prices (10 Euro per head), however there are some local coffees shops 2 mins walk from the Hotel […] which helps to keep costs down. The hotel is located not far from the Metro Station (San Sebastiao) to North of the City and is very easy to find and if you are looking to hire/pre book a car there is also a Budget rental station 2 mins walk away. The airport is a maximum 10 minutes from the airport. Do not let the taxi drivers rail road you to take the ring road around the city Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review
"Olissippo Marques de Sa - excellent staff"
All the staff with whom we had dealings were attentive, courteous and polite. The buffet breakfast is excellent. We had dinner a few times and that, too, was very good food. The location is very close to the Metro and El Corte Ingles but we didn't find much in the way of entertainment in the vicinity.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"A comfortable place to stay!"
Reception staff were very helpful about providing information on transport and generally very hospitable. Room was cleaned to a high standard and there was a good range of breakfast options. A comfortable and accessible place to stay- both near the airport and the centre of lisbon by metro.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Nice Hotel"
The Hotel is close to downtown shops, malls and the Metro. Staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are a little small, but not a problem. Buffet breakfast has lots of variety. We would stay here again.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Um bom hotel com pequenas restrições."
A estadia foi ótima. O piso em carpete penso que não agrada a nenhum hóspede. O que destoou foi que o quarto é oferecido como dispondo de uma série de itens e,entre eles, um cofre. Por ocasião do check-in fui informado que teria que fazer um depósito caução no valor de 25 euros e que o cofre teria um custo diário de 3,00 euros. Como argumentei, com […] firmeza, que havia pago por um quarto com um cofre, a atendente acabou cedendo, mas não me livrou de fazer o depósito caução, segundo ela para cobrir os custos, no caso de perda de chave. Vi nisto tudo uma atitude de má-fé. Cobra-se. Se o cliente silenciar, arca com a despesa, fora do combinado. É um comportamento que precisa ser resolvido Hotéis.com.

Super bien placé, quartier très agréable à deux pas de l'hotel.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bekväma sängar, bra frukost"
Hotellets läge kunde varit lite bätte men det gorde egentligen inget eftersom tunnelbanan ligger ett stenkast bort. Frukostbuffen var bra med mycket att väja på. Vi hade en mycket trevlig vistelse i Lissabon och kommer gärna tillbaka.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Bra beliggenhet"
Hotellet ligger på samme metrolinje som flyplassen, og ligger like ved São Sebastiao stasjon, Gulbenkian museet og Corte de Ingles shopping. Rommene er ok, og utvalget til frokost er bra.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Very pleased with the hotel, staff and food!"
We spent 8 nights there in what was our best holidays ever, and we were extremely pleased! The hotel looks amazing, the staff was nice and helpful and the breakfast very delicious! Both me and my fiance recommend the place.Genuine Hotels.com guest review

"buona posizione, confortevole"
trascorsa 1 settimana a lisbona nel luglio 2014. ho usufruito dell'opzione soggiorno colazione. l'albergo e' in buona posizione, vicinissima alla metropolitana sao sebastiao (che collega direttamente all'aereoporto ed al centro della citta', da cui dista circa 5 fermate). nelle vicinanze c'e un bel parco che ospita un'esposizione permanete di arte moderna, […] un centro commerciale, diversi ristornati e negozi. la camera e' stata abbastanza accogliente, la pulizia ok, il personale gentile. La colazione continentale varia e di buona qualita'. E' a disposizione una macchina per espresso niente male (sconsiglio vivamente il loro cappuccino, ma questione di gusti...). nel complesso esperienza che rifarei volentieri!

"Ottima colazione"
Stanze più piccole rispetto alle foto del sito, ma pulite e curate. L'hotel è un po' fuori rispetto alle zone più caratteristiche della città ma facilmente raggiungibile coi mezzi pubblici.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Schönes Hotel"
Nettes Team und super Zimmerservice. Das Hotel ist für Personen die etwas Ruhe außerhalb des Stadtrummels wollen sehr gut geeignet. Metro ist 3-5 Minuten zu Fuß vom Hotel entfernt. Das Personal spricht leider wenig deutsch, aber mit normalen Englischkenntnissen kommt man sehr gut zurecht. Ich kann das Hotel nur weiterempfehlen.Genuine Expedia guest review
Efter en kølig modtagelse i den mørke lobby med en sovende mand i sofaen, kom vi op på vores endnu mørkere værelse. Sengen var sat sammen af to senge, men var ellers udmærket. Jeg er meget glad for at vi kun skulle have en enkelt overnatning og skulle meget tidligt afsted næste morgen, for selv om der var rent nok, virkede det snusket og slidt. Kan […] ikke anbefales. Read moreGenuine Hotels.com guest review
"A due passi dalla metropolitana"
Situato a due passi dalla metropolitana, è possibile raggiungere velocemente il centro storico. La zona, Sao Sebastiao, è molto tranquilla: ho camminato da sola a qualsiasi ora. Unico neo per me, che ho il sonno molto leggero, è stato il rumore degli aerei che sentivo ogni mattina e i rumori provenienti dal corridoio e dalle stanze a fianco. Il personale […] è molto gentile e professionale, la pulizia delle camere è ottima. Il kit giornaliero in dotazione consiste in: cuffia per doccia con elastico per capelli, due saponette, due flaconcini di doccia schiuma, due flaconcini di shampoo oltre al kit per il cucito, informazioni che ritengo essenziali per chi viaggia in aereo con il solo bagaglio a mano. Io avevo prenotato il trattamento bed and breakfast. La colazione è con buffet e c'è di tutto. Se volete farvi capire dovete almeno parlare inglese come ovunque (l'Italia rispetto a tutto il mondo è solo una piccola appendice e non tutti sono tenuti a conoscere la nostra lingua). Il giudizio complessivo è buono. Read moreGenuine Expedia guest review

Heerlijk hotel, dichtbij metrostation Sao Sebastiao en het grote winkelcenteum El Corte Ingles. Mooie kamer, prima badkamer en een heerlijk uitgebreid ontbijt. Uitstekende uitvalsbasis voor een paar dagen Lissabon. Vanaf zeven uur in de ochtend komen de vliegtuigen weer over, maar als je het raam dicht doet heb je nergens last van.Genuine Expedia guest review
"Dejligt hotel"
Beliggenheden var perfekt, tæt på Metroen, også den til Lufthavnen. Kvarteret var nydeligt, så man turde også komme sent hjem.Værelset var altid rent og pænt. Morgenmaden var der bestemt ikke noget at klage over.Eneste negative ting, jeg kan tænke på, var, at der var lidt lydt værelserne imellem.Genuine Hotels.com guest review
"Buen Hotel"
Buen hotel en una zona muy agradable de Lisboa. Excelentemente comunicada con el Aeropuerto y el centro con una boca de metro a dos calles. Al lado del bellísimo Museo Calouste Gulbenkian y a pocas calles del Corte Inglés. A la vuelta una calle agradable llena de restaurantes de todo tipo y precio. El hotel excelente.

Missing Lindsay man's body found in Seminole County
Updated On: Feb 15 2013 10:00:22 AM CST
Two people have been arrested on suspicion of moving the body of a slain Lindsay man.
Jessica Cornwell, 33, and Adena Beasley, 32, both of Oklahoma City, were booked into the Seminole County Jail after being arrested overnight, according to the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.
The arrests came hours after a missing Lindsay man was found in Seminole County.
Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agents said the body of Nathan Dale Blankenship, 32, was discovered around 6:30 p.m. Agents said a witness in the case helped lead agents to Blankenship's body near Northsouth Highway 3590 north of Highway 59.
Blankenship had been missing since Feb. 2, detectives said.
The medical examiner is set to perform an autopsy to determine the cause and manner of Blankenship's death, agents said.

There, inside the walls of this crumbling New York tavern, a young couple finds themselves caught up in what might be the biggest conspiracy of all. Steven Dietz's acclaimed and already widely produced dramatic thriller—a selection of the National New Play Network's Continued Life Project—is a fierce, funny, and ultimately mind-bending work of theatrical power that grips you until the final word.

US lawmakers in Cuba to push for release of Gross
alan gross_311 reuters.
(photo credit:Ho New / Reuters)
A US congressional delegation arrived in Cuba this week to press for the release of imprisoned American-Jewish contractor Alan Gross.Seven lawmakers led by Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) traveled to the country on Monday for a three-day visit.The delegation plans to meet with Gross, as well as parliament president Ricardo Alarcon, Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez and possibly President Raul Castro.Leahy met with Gross one year ago during a visit to the island nation. During a meeting that same day with Castro, the president brought up the case of five Cuban agents serving long jail terms in the United States. Cuba has linked Gross' release to the fate of the so-called Cuban Five, according to reports.The delegation would like to bring Gross back to the United States with them, Leahy has said.Gross was arrested in December 2009 as he was leaving Cuba for "crimes against the state" for distributing laptop computers and connecting Cuban Jews to the Internet. He spoke virtually no Spanish and traveled to Cuba five times under his own name before his arrest.Gross' family and US State Department officials say that Gross was in the country on a US Agency for International Development contract to help the country's 1,500 Jews communicate with other Jewish communities using the Internet. The main Jewish groups in Cuba have denied any contact with or knowledge of Gross or the program.Kerry had discussed Gross caseUS Secretary of State John Kerry, when he was a senator from Massachusetts, reportedly met with Rodriguez, the Cuban foreign minister, in New York in 2010 to discuss the Gross case, according to Foreign Affairs magazine. Former President James Carter also met with Raul Castro in Havana in 2011.Delegation members said they were also interested in reforms in Cuba.President Castro has lifted most travel restrictions and freed Cubans to buy and sell homes and cars over the past year, even as he accelerates efforts to reform the Soviet-style economy in a more market-friendly direction.The Obama administration has said relations will not improve while Gross remains in custody. In addition, under the 1996 'Helms-Burton' law, sanctions cannot be lifted until Cuba's one-party communist political system is changed, a demand rejected by the Cuban government.Gross, 63, was arrested in Havana in December 2009 and sentenced to 15 years in prison for installing Internet networks under a secretive US program the Cuban government considers subversive.The case put the brakes on a brief warming in long-hostile US-Cuba relations during the first 11 months of US President Barack Obama's first term in office.Cuba has linked Gross' fate to that of five agents imprisoned in the late 1990s for infiltrating Miami exile organizations and US military bases.The agents, known as the Cuban Five, were sentenced to long terms ranging from 15 years to life and are considered heroes in Cuba.

De-Fence Of Liberty
More often than not, Digby delivers when a little clarity is badly needed. His comments on Bush's "immigration distraction" keeps the focus right where it belongs — on politics.
It's clear that Bush is going to try to change the subject with a big push on the immigration issue.
Having spent a good part of my almost 50 years in California, I have observed that the immigration issue is usually a sign of a weak economy or some other form of discontent. It's been around forever and rears its head every once in a while as people perceive a "crisis" and then it goes underground again.
It is not a partisan issue; many Democrats are very
exercised about Mexican immigrants overrunning the borders and
allegedly taking away jobs from Americans or at least holding wages
below what they would otherwise be. On the other side are liberals who
see a subtle and no so subtle racism in the border debate and feel that
all this talk of cultural dissonence is a false construct. There are
conflicting values of economics and human rights involved and it's
My feeling is that this time we are dealing with displaced fear and
frustrating impotence. The terrorist boogeyman has been fully
internalized and people are afraid. But it is an ephemeral and distant
enemy. Another brown hoarde is conveniently available. I think my
theory is borne out by the right's increasing emphasis on the Mexican
border being a national security threat and the sudden seriousness of
Pat Buchanan's "fence" concept.
The group advocating the creation of an Israeli-style fence on the U.S.-Mexico border — and leading the media attack — is called Let Freedom Ring. In terms of evoking the boogeyman, these people are true graduates of the Swift Boat school. The organization has developed a couple of ads which are scheduled to run in Washington.
Both ads create a histrionic connection between illegal
immigration and terrorism. Warning of the infiltration of foreign
nationals from countries that "sponsor terror," the first ad (top
image) runs the green filter with the rectangular window over miles of
desert. Although open to interpretation, an obvious association is that
of a bombing target. For comparison sake, the bluish image is an actual
bombing target. With rumors "flying" that Bush plans to justify troop
withdrawals in Iraq by scaling up the air war, the LFR people probably
think regular bombing raids along Arizona's border might also be
The second ad is even more wild eyed. In this case, the premise
is established that terrorists are blending in with those crossing the
border and leaving us "vulnerable to another attack." In a series of
cockeyed associations, the ad cites the number of "special interest
aliens" that entered the U.S. in '04 from Axis of Evil members. It then
uses a newspaper article about 2 Iraqis apprehended for trying to enter
the U.S. to presume the Zharkawi's of the world are on their way.
Finally, you have the suggestion that these Middle Eastern/Iraqi bad
boys could strike at any time, just like they took out the Trade
If these people had been working with Rove and Cheney to sell
the link between Saddam and WMD (or Iraq and al Qaeda), who knows how
much more great stuff Colin Powell could have force-fed the United

Levon Helm Tribute Concert To Be Released As Album
In October of 2012, one of the best lineups of rock, country and soul acts came together to pay tribute to the late Band drummer/singer Levon Helm at New Jersey's Izod Center.
The Love For Levon Concert (read our review here) featured current and former members of The Band, The Eagles, The Allman Brothers Band, Pink Floyd and My Morning Jacket, among others, and raised funds to help Helm's estate keep ownership of his home, barn and studio, and to continue the "Midnight Ramble Sessions," which Helm hosted and headlined in the last few years of his life.
If you missed it… well, you missed it. But now, it's coming out on DVD, BluRay and CD so you can see and/or hear what went down. Some of the highlights of the show – which featured songs by The Band as well as from Helm's solo career – include:
- Warren Haynes of The Allman Brothers Band and Gov't Mule – "The Shape I'm In"
- Gregg Allman and Warren Haynes – "The Long Black Veil"
- Mavis Staples – "Move Along Train"
- John Prine, The Band's Garth Hudson and Joan Osborne – "When I Paint My Masterpiece"
- Bruce Hornsby – "Anna Lee"
- Jakob Dylan – "Ain't Got No Home"
- Lucinda Williams – "Whispering Pines"
- John Hiatt – "Rag Mama Rag"
