Malala Yousafzai, shot for defying Taliban, to write book

LONDON (AP) ? Malala Yousafzai, the Pakistani teenager shot in the head by the Taliban as she returned home from school, is writing a book about the traumatic event and her long-running campaign to promote children's education.

Publisher Weidenfeld and Nicolson announced that it would release "I am Malala" in Britain and Commonwealth countries this fall. Little, Brown and Co. will publish the 15-year-old's memoir in the United States and much of the rest of the world.

"Malala is already an inspiration to millions around the world. Reading her story of courage and survival will open minds, enlarge hearts, and eventually allow more girls and boys to receive the education they hunger for," said Michael Pietsch, executive vice president and publisher of Little, Brown.

A Taliban gunman shot Malala on Oct. 9 in northwestern Pakistan. The militant group said it targeted her because she promoted "Western thinking" and, through a blog, had been an outspoken critic of the Taliban's opposition to educating girls.

The shooting sparked outrage in Pakistan and many other countries, and her story drew global attention to the struggle for women's rights in Malala's homeland. The teen even made the shortlist for Time magazine's "Person of the Year" in 2012.

Malala was brought to the U.K. for treatment and spent several months in a hospital undergoing skull reconstruction and cochlear implant surgeries. She was released last month and has started attending school in Britain.

Malala said in a statement Wednesday that she hoped telling her story would be "part of the campaign to give every boy and girl the right to go to school.

"I hope the book will reach people around the world, so they realize how difficult it is for some children to get access to education," she said. "I want to tell my story, but it will also be the story of 61 million children who can't get education."

Publishers did not reveal the price tag for the book deal.

Idaho gas prices dip, remain below national rate

BOISE, Idaho (AP) -- Idaho motorists are enjoying a bit of a break at the pump.

AAA Idaho reported Tuesday that the average price per gallon is $3.43, a penny less than a month ago and 23 cents below the national average.

AAA Idaho Spokesman Dave Carlson says it's too soon to say if petrol prices have peaked for the spring. He says there is a backlog of refinery maintenance to deal with and the costs tied to switching to summer-blend fuels.

Last year at this time, Idahoans were paying $3.74 per gallon.

Idaho's current price still ranks higher compared to neighboring states. Motorists in Wyoming are paying an average of $3.33 cents per gallon, while Montana drivers are dishing out $3.36 per gallon.

T-Mobile lights up LTE in seven markets nationwide

T-Mobile's LTE rollout has been a long time coming, but as of today that network is finally live. At an event in New York City, the carrier made its initial batch of LTE cities official -- seven markets in total. Now, subscribers in Baltimore, MD; Kansas City, KS; Houston, TX; Las Vegas, NV; Phoenix, AZ; San Jose, CA and Washington D.C. will be among the first to take advantage of the UnCarrier's fully-fledged 4G network and its newly revised unlimited talk, text and data plans. As for New York City, a market many assumed would make this first LTE round, CEO John Legere says that's coming soon, mostly likely by early summer. Speeds on this new network, as we saw demoed just a little over a week ago, should range between 10 to 20Mbps down and 8 to 12 Mbps up -- at least, during this intro phase -- with a fallback onto HSPA+ when LTE isn't present. When T-Mobile gets around to repurposing that MetroPCS spectrum it's so close to acquiring, expect to see even more robust LTE speeds and wider coverage across its footprint.

To kick off adoption of this nascent network, T-Mobile's offering up a pretty attractive portfolio of handsets and high-end ones, at that. So Magenta subs or prospective carrier-switchers looking to sign up for T-Mobile's LTE can choose from the HTC One, Samsung Galaxy S 4, iPhone 5, Galaxy Note II and BlackBerry Z10 -- that latter two of which are currently available. And now that the UnCarrier's removed the contract chains we've all come to know and loathe, subscribers can opt to snag one of these handsets outright with an accompanying Simple Choice plan. If you're excited by all of this change or just want to see it laid out in the company's official terms, head past the break for official PR.

This Building Is Too Insane To Be a Bank

The Nord LB Building is freaking crazy. Located in Hanover, Germany, it's home to one of the country's largest banks and is far too absurd to be home to a financial institution. More »

Qatar's real estate and development market in the spotlight at ...

Cityscape Qatar to be held on 27 - 29 May 2013 at Doha Exhibition Centre, will firmly place the spotlight on the Middle East's largest real estate market; as it attracts key real estate professionals, investors and development companies to Doha. The event is jointly organized by Informa Exhibitions and Q Media.

The first edition of Cityscape Qatar, which took place under the Patronage of His Excellency, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabor Al-Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs in Qatar, was a phenomenal success; with 81 exhibitors, over 5000 visitors and delegations from over 58 countries, confirming Cityscape as a key player in driving growth in real estate investment and development across emerging markets.

"We had a significant participation in Cityscape Qatar last year, showcasing the group's size and capabilities. We were able to sign a number of major deals, MOUs and leasing contracts with anchor tenants. Large projects such as the award-winning Barwa Commercial Avenue and the iconic Barwa City, among other projects, seized a lot of attention. We are pleased to be participating again in Cityscape Qatar, as we continue to move further towards achieving the aspirations of Qatar National Vision 2030, by establishing a vibrant and prosperous Qatar, sustaining its development and providing a high standard of living for all its people," said Eng. Abdullah Abdulaziz Turki Al Subaie, Board Member & Group CEO, Barwa Real Estate Group.

Cityscape, as the only real estate event in Qatar, is a platform for governmental authorities, key investors and developers, consultants, architects, contractors and designers to drive progress in Qatar's real estate market. Cityscape is an ideal platform to introduce major projects and key developments to an international audience made up of investors and senior real estate professionals; exhibitors are given a great opportunity to build and maintain their presence in Qatar's real estate market.

The future of the real estate market in Qatar is promising due to the booming domestic economy from the oil revenues and the upcoming FIFA World Cup 2022. Qatar's international profile is on the rise, with business expansion being the main contributing factor for the positive condition of the market. The General Secretariat for Development Planning, in its recent update on Qatar Economic Outlook for 2012-13, stated "construction activity is now accelerating and was a major contributor to growth in the second half of 2012. In 2013, construction will boost even further, expanding at a double-digit pace".

"The Qatari real estate sector is thriving due to its growing young population, rising number of households, and increasing business activity. Working in line with Qatar National Vision 2030 to develop the real estate sector and to meet the development needed in the country's infrastructure prior to 2022 FIFA World Cup, this year's Cityscape Qatar will provide a platform for networking and business where industry professionals can meet to discuss the future of the Qatari real estate industry and formulate strategies for growth," said Atif Malik, Exhibition Manager.

Cityscape Qatar 2013 aims at creating the perfect environment for the promotion of real estate business as it is backed by top industry experts Barwa and Ezdan who share a common aim to foster the growth of business opportunities related to real estate. The event will highlight the various opportunities available in the real estate sector in Qatar.

"Cityscape Qatar 2013 will provide unique networking opportunities to meet and establish relationships with key players in the industry. Barwa Real Estate will demonstrate its unique development approach and innovation focusing on delivering world-class quality standards. The Qatari real estate sector remains strategic in fulfilling the aspirations of Qatar National Vision 2030 as one of the key drivers towards diversifying the country's economy, there is a great benefit from such a platform to communicate with the infinite investment interests from the global business community," added Eng. Al Subaie.

Qatar Real Estate Summit, that will take place alongside Cityscape Qatar from 27-29 May 2013 at the Doha Exhibition Centre, is the ultimate industry event with over 100 of the world's top real estate developers, investors, and financiers gathering to discover the latest sector trends, new investment models and updates on major projects and upcoming regulations.

The Summit will address some critical topics such as Qatar's strategies to overcome the challenge of maintaining current growth rates, a complete overview of QConstruct, the new construction dispute resolution scheme, breaking into the Qatari market and making profit through PPP and BOT models and structuring REITs to increase finance and ensure long-term profitability.
