This baby sea otter has so much faith in its mother's ability to keep him safe that it is taking a nap curled on her stomach as she swims across an Alaskan bay.

The pup kept its fur dry as it dozed away blissfully under the watchful eye of its parent, who was lying on her back.

Sony said Tuesday it will start selling 3-D televisions in June, joining a competitive industrywide push to convince consumers to embrace the technology for their living rooms.

The Japanese electronics giant, known for its PlayStation 3 game consoles and Bravia flat-screen TVs, will offer its fully capable 3-D TV model in four sizes this summer.

Premier Dalton McGuinty wants to transform Ontario into a beacon for foreign students, allow Crown corporations to compete globally, and sell clean-water expertise to a thirsty world.

In a Speech from the Throne on Monday that McGuinty hopes can propel his Liberals to victory in the October 2011 election, the premier will unveil an ambitious agenda for governing – despite a record $24.7 billion budget deficit.

"Open Ontario," detailed in the speech to be read by Lieutenant-Governor David Onley in the Legislature, is a five-year plan that promises to improve access to colleges and universities for Ontarians by subsidizing them with fees from international students.

"There will be more opportunities to help Ontarians get post-secondary education and also an expanded interest in bringing more foreign students here," a senior government official said Sunday.

Critics are warning voters to be skeptical of McGuinty's lofty goals.
