By EDWARD WONG and JONATHAN ANSFIELD
The former elite Communist Party official said his former top deputy and
his wife, both of whom provided evidence against him, had an affair.
Some poets suffer into truth; others get there by a less tortured path. Horace, the Roman poet of the late first century B.C., was one of the latter. He knew neither the agony of passionate love, like his predecessor Catullus, nor the ecstasy of revelation, like Lucretius. He never strove for a magnum opus, as did his close friend Virgil, preferring short, exquisitely crafted works in a variety of genres.
Horace came unscathed through the tumultuous era that brought to power Augustus, the first of what we now term the Roman emperors. In his late 20s he became a close ...
Google, FTC Close to a Deal

COLLATERAL DAMAGE: Stevens is the one left bruised and battered by the end of the nearly 3,000-word piece, but his boss doesn't escape unscathed. From the story: "But whatever Stevens’s shortcomings, presidential candidates get the campaigns they want. And Romney ... has taken a very active role running his own campaign. In a way, that’s the problem. Romney associates are baffled that such a successful corporate leader has created a team with so few lines of authority or accountability."
Much of Mr Bo’s economic strategy has been explicitly encouraged by the central leadership. In the end, in a party that prides itself on consensual, colourless leadership, it was Mr Bo’s highly visible efforts to boost his public image that hastened his undoing. Chongqing itself will carry on.

Google (NSDQ: GOOG)'s Gmail Labs now offers yet another way not to send a message.
First there was Email Addict, a Gmail Labs experiment designed to force obsessive Gmail users to take a break after 15 minutes and to block access to instant messages.
Then there was Mail Goggles, which requires that Gmail users answer simple math problems before allowing them to send messages, in order to prevent e-mailing while intoxicated.
Gmail Labs also includes a Forgotten Attachment Detector, which will prevent messages that mention an attachment but don't actually include one from being sent.
And on Thursday, Google added Undo Send, a Gmail Labs experiment that prevents the transmission of an e-mail message for five seconds, to allow e-mail authors time to change their minds.
"Turn on Undo Send in Gmail Labs under Settings, and you’ll see a new 'Undo' link on every sent mail confirmation," explains Google user experience designer Michael Leggett in a blog post. "Click 'Undo,' and we'll grab the message before it's sent and take you right back to compose."
Leggett warns that Undo Send won't recall a message that has already been sent, it simply holds messages for five seconds to allow time for second thoughts.
Google has even dug up some metrics to justify the addition: A company spokesperson pointed to a study showing that 87% of executives reported they have mistakenly sent or received an e-mail or other electronic message.
Google launched another Gmail Labs addition on Wednesday: the ability to preview YouTube videos, Picasa and Flickr links, and Yelp reviews from within Gmail messages.Grab Your Goggles: Will 3-D Be the Next Wave in Home Entertainment?
