The lone surviving Pakistani terrorist in the 26/11 attack here, Ajmal Kasab, on Thursday added a touch of humour by telling a court that police had fired at his arm in a typical Bollywood style.
Denying that he was injured in a shoot-out with police at Girgaum Chowpatty, Kasab told judge M.L Tahaliyani "Police ne mere hath par goli fire ki aur main zakhmi hua (police fired a bullet on my hand and I was injured)".
Kasab alleged that he was fired at by cops at a police station, causing bullet injury in his hand.
Asked how did police fire at him, Kasab replied, "they caught hold of me and raised my hand. Then they fired at my hand....just as you see in the films".
The judge quipped "I do not see films."
"Lekin main to dekhta hoon" (But I do watch films)," replied Kasab, wearing a T-shirt and a trouser.
Asked how much distance police had maintained from him at the time of firing, Kasab replied "mujhe nahin pata kyoon ki jab fire kiya to main ne doosri taraf dekha tha (I do not know because when they fired, I turned my face in the other direction)."
Kasab was answering questions put by the judge on evidence adduced by the prosecution.

Matching Information
The role of information aggregation within firms has long been recognized. We analyze the optimal allocation of differentially informed agents to different firms when those firms are in competition. Will the well informed match with those who are well informed or will they mix with the less informed? This is important because it provides a rationale for the observed worker composition of firms. We find that in equilibrium, the allocation consists of maximally diversifying the work force within the firm, while minimizing the informational difference between firms. Configuring diversely informed teams is the most informative. The value of information is submodular in types, and this allocation is a generalization of negative assortative matching (NAM) in one-to-one matching to a multi-agent team setting, team-NAM. We analyze the allocation in the presence of endogenous firm size, heterogeneity in productivity, and under correlation of the agents' information.

When it comes to content marketing the prevailing thought among marketers is that the longer the content the less likely it will be used on a mobile device. The thought being that people will not engage with long form content marketing on a mobile device thus that type of content is best served on a PC.
Well based on the results of a recent joint campaign between Chevy and mobile media company Zumobi, marketers may want to rethink long form content marketing and its potential use on mobile devices.
As part of the Chevrolet Technology Series campaign, the idea was to take a six-part print and digital advertorial series and transform it into a mobile experience that would run across Motor Trend's print magazine and website, as well apps for iOS and Android devices.
Repurposing Content
The idea to repurpose existing content across other channel is nothing new of course but the idea of taking print and digital content and conveying that same content in a mobile format is unconventional to say the least.
For Carolin Probst-Iyer, manager digital consumer of engagement at General Motor's Chevrolet Division this was unchartered waters but just another example of Chevy's commitment to innovation when it comes to content marketing.
"Chevrolet is always looking for new ways to provide content to consumers," she said. "By repurposing our content from print and digital we were able to create a new experience for consumers and maintain a cohesive brand identity across mediums."
She added that "this is the first time that Chevrolet has taken such rich content and provided a way for consumers to interact with this type of material on their mobile device."
Rise To The Challenge
Probst-Iyer made the challenge quite clear to the folks at Zumobi. "We presented Zumobi with a challenge to preserve the creative elements of our print and online campaign to create a cohesive brand identity across mediums," she said. "And yet build a unique experience that addresses the specific usability and content aspects for mobile."
For his part, Zumobi CEO Ken Willner was more than ready.
"We viewed this campaign as an opportunity to leverage our Zumobi Brand Integration (ZBi) platform and utilize the technology that we have developed in order to bring the Chevrolet Technology Series brand experience to mobile," he said.
But he said the biggest task was to take content that was created for one medium and use that came content in another medium without losing any of its value.
"The primary challenge we faced was in how to translate this long-form content experience which was originally designed for print, to mobile devices," said Willner.
Here's a brief video of what a user would see on his/her mobile device:
The Results Are In
I would say that based on the results below the challenge was not only met, it was exceeded and then some.
- 37% overall mobile engagement rate, meaning that more than one-third of people interacted with the Chevrolet ZBi campaign
- Click-Through Rates (CTR) as high as 11.2% for the ZBi expandable Paso Doble ad units
- 6.8% of users saved the integrated content experience to their home screen via the ZBi Footprint feature, creating a leave-behind app on their mobile device
- People spent as high as 6.4 minutes interacting with the Chevrolet ZBi ads
Overall the campaign yielded engagement stats three times the industry benchmark of 12.8% for mobile rich-media ads as reported by Mobile Marketer and more than thirteen times the average CTR of standard mobile banners.

Havok brings its cinematic game physics engine to Windows Phone 8
0. phoneArena 20 Jun 2012, 12:40 posted on
Windows Phone 8 shares the same kernel with Windows 8 and the same native development language, which is probably the most significant news from tonight's unveiling of Microsoft's next mobile OS iteration. A great demonstration what that means was the appearance of the folks from Havok on stage, who said with the new kernel it only took them a few weeks to port their award-winning game physics engine to Windows Phone 8...

Touch not registered on right side
Running liquid Smooth rom and love it. But lately I can't press the very right hand side of the screen when in portrait mode, or the very top in landscape mode.
This is a problem when trying to click the "p" key in portrait mode. It keeps selecting "o" instead.
I think I remember BAMF had an option to re-align the screen, but I never actually used it. I've been looking for a similar option in liquid Smooth but can't find it. Any help would be great appreciated. -
I dug through the standard Settings as well as the Liquid Settings and couldn't find anything like that. Unfortunately, it sounds like your screen is starting to go. You could try flashing back to (rooted) stock, since I seem to remember the stock ROM having that capability, or go back to BAMF, and just see if you can readjust the screen in either of those - if not, you know it's time to start looking for a replacement before it gets worse.

Re: Touch not registered on right side
I'm having a similar problem but mine is on the left side....and on occasions it will start flipping and act like I am hitting a point on the screen or scrolling up and down. I'm unrooting and returning to stock as I type this and if that doesn't help I'm headed to verizon tomorrow. I let you know if I figure anything out.
Re: Touch not registered on right side
quick little update....tried to unroot using the thunderbolt unroot app.....realized that my power button is unresponsive when i am at the bootloader screen. So now I'm stuck...if anyone has any ideas please let me know...i really dont want to buy a new phone
Re: Touch not registered on right side
I was having the same problem with what I thought was with custom roms from BAMF and Thundershed. The right side of the keyboard is off, so if I pressed P the O is selected, etc. I went back to stock and then the screen started doing weird things as people mentioned earlier in this forum at random times, but the keyboard problem wasn't present. That was last week, this week I was fine. I just flashed rooted/stock .19 last night, so I'm keeping my eyes peeled for any other strange behavior. Hopefully this phone lasts me another year or so, but I think its showing its life for heavy use for 12+ months.
- 06-02-2012, 06:18 PM Thread Author #7
Any update from anyone? Mine is actually getting worse. I can no longer type p or o when in portrait mode. I also can't hit the clear button from the drop down notification list anymore in portrait mode. However, I can't pull the menu down in landscape mode. So I have to pull it down in portrait, then rotate to landscape to click clear.
It's getting very frustrating. I'm very close to buying a new phone but I really don't want to.

Re: Touch not registered on right side
I had the same issue but it wasnt a ROM issue, it was my phone. If u still have warranty ill recommend if you unroot your phone (if its rooted) and send it back to VZW and they will replace and overnight u a refurbished one.

Re: Touch not registered on right side
It is actually 1 year if u have the TEC is 2 but since u said u dont have it then call 611 and ask them to ship a replacement. After u get the replacement u have 1 week to return your broken phone so u will have enough time to unroot. There is a post here and is really simple if u follow the steps on the post on how to unroot.
Re: Touch not registered on right side
I had the same issue as well. No fix for it, the phone needs to be replaced. Good luck as the replacements will be certified like new devices. I had two replaced in the last week with various issues and even the one I have now is acting flaky.
Re: Touch not registered on right side
I ended up having the same problem with mine. Flashed back to stock and even unrooted. It was hardware, and there was no getting around it. There is probably a dead spot down the right side of your screen, and you need to get it replaced.

I was just barely within the warranty period so I unrooted and stocked my phone with the app you can buy on the market. (I know I could have do done it manually but this was just soooooo much easier.) then got the warranty replacement.
I'm actually glad I did because I think the radios are upgraded in this replacement. I used to have periodic drops of both 4g and 3g data, but they've been pretty rock solid on this replacement.
I have rooted again just to get titanium backup working to restore my apps and to delete some bloatware, but I haven't re-rommed yet. Things seem to be working pretty well at stock rom right now.
Anyway, thanks everyone for the advice.

So is it exactly the right half of screen or is it fourth quarter of screen, etc .. Curious
If happens on 50% of right side, how do you answer a call if you do?

Re: Touch not registered on right side
download this app, see if it registers your touch:
run the app, and go to the touch input section
if it doesn't or even misplaces your touch, very well could be the hardware
some devices, such as the Asus 700 tablet would register touch differently when the device was connected to the power.
But could be your digitizer will need replacingTI-83 >> HP 12c >> Blackberry Storm (9530) >> HTC Thunderbolt >> Moto X (2nd Gen.)עם ישראל חי -

DAILY MANIFESTODiablo III's Server Issues Are Becoming RidiculousPosted on Tuesday, May 29 @ 17:36:53 Eastern by Jonathan_Leack
So here I was two weeks ago defending Blizzard for making Diablo III an online-only game. Boy do I regret that now. In a matter of weeks my opinion has made a complete 180-degree turn as myself and million of others have battled with constant server issues. Here I sit on my first day of Summer break following college finals and Diablo III's servers are as dead as a door nail. A patch was applied this morning following maintenance which was supposed to address a couple of major issues, but instead it spawned a few of its own. Now the infamous Error 37 that destroyed the game's launch is back for more as nobody is able to login. What makes this so frustrating is I've been playing by myself for the past four days, and playing alone still requires an internet connection. I've been grinding Act I of Inferno repeatedly so I can stand a chance in Act II—the most broken challenge I've faced in years— because whenever I group with someone the difficulty skyrockets. As a result I've done what any competitive person would do and pretend like it's a single-player game, but technically that's not really possible since Blizzard chose to run Diablo III with layers of DRM that require not only my connection to be stable, but Blizzard's entire infrastructure as well. You're probably wondering why I'm making such a big deal out of a single day of server issues, and I wish it was just that, but it isn't. Not only was the game almost unplayable for the two-days following launch but the auction house has been a constant source of frustration for over two-weeks now. A wide-array of errors pop-up while using the auction house window which prevent the distribution of items and gold. In a game that's driven by the ability to make money and obtain gear it sure is mind-boggling how unreliable it is. It's no wonder why Blizzard has delayed the RMAH "indefinitely". The world would go mad if real money were involved in the transactions. Now excuse me while I go do something else while Blizzard's reputation takes a dive into the deepest ocean imaginable.

Another tale of woe of AppleFriday, July 11, 2008 by Dave Winer. These monolithic, upgrade the world in a day rollouts of Apple may not be such a great idea. And this is a reminder to myself never to be tempted by them. Lured into the iPhone 2.0 rollout timed to happen the same day as the iPhone 3G rollout and a day after the rollout of the new app store, I decided to updgrade my 1st-gen iPhone (purchased on June 29 last year) and fell into the same brick-hole as have many other iPhone users. Surprise, the store couldn't handle the traffic. Sound familiar? Same thing happened last year. Oy. This should the last monolithic shake-the-world rollout Apple does. Apple makes serious products that people use seriously. The idea that so many people lost their phones on the day of the rollout is just plain unacceptable. Anyway, you can follow my travails here and here. And I may not be shit-out-of-luck. I forgot I have a trusty and boring Nokia N95 here that should work, its only problem is its battery is run down. I've got it plugged into my wall socket, which thanks to PG&E still works, even though Apple is rolling out its wonderful new world-changing products today. Update: Persistence pays off. Keep your iPhone plugged in, power it off, power it on, wait for it to fail. If it doesn't you're done. If it does, repeat. |

Windows Vista AERO GraphicsWindows Vista AERO GraphicsMicrosoft's code names such as AERO, fascinate me. I wonder whether the words Authentic, Energetic, Reflective, and Open, came first, or did Microsoft decide upon the acronym AERO, and only then brainstorm to find four suitable words? Windows Vista Aero Topics
♦ Aero Glass Example - What happens when you click on StartTwo screen shots, which show the Aero glass effect when you click on the Start button. The screen shots show the glowing effect before and after clicking on the Start button . After clicking, observe how the icon becomes brighter and the Start balloon appears. In passing, also note the subliminal information supplied by the 'Searches File Folder' icon. Each effect seems trite, insignificant on its own, but taken as whole, all the tiny effects add up to an interface that guides you where you want to go. As you navigate the menus, Vista supplies extra, almost unconscious, information along the way. See more Vista Aero Glass effects What is Windows AERO?
Guy Recommends : SolarWinds' Free VM MonitorThe best feature of this new this new version of SolarWinds VM Monitor is that it checks Windows Hyper-V. Naturally, it still works with virtual machines on VMware ESX Servers. VM Monitor is a clever desktop tool that not only tests that your server is online, but also displays the CPU and memory utilization for each node. It's easy to install and to configure this virtual machine monitor, all you need the host server's IP address or hostname and the logon info. Give this virtual machine monitor a try - it's free. Download your free copy of SolarWinds VM Monitor. Vista and AERO IntegrationAs you can see from the above list, Vista's AERO is not just one feature but a whole package of visual clues. Integration is an over-hyped word, but in the case of Vista in general, and AERO in particular, integration is the key word. Each feature is only average on its own, but the whole package makes Vista more fun, and more productive than XP. Note: In order for your machine to display Aero Graphics your machine needs at least 1Gb of RAM memory. You also need a 128 Mb graphics card, which supports DirectX 9 graphics and Pixel Shader 2.0. Where else do you see Vista's AERO effects?In XP, the desktop theme was called 'Luna', whereas in Vista, the equivalent new desktop, shell and GUI is called AERO. Yet, Windows AERO is more than a shop window for the operating system's shell, in fact AERO defines, creates and expresses the whole user experience. Perhaps you have flirted with XP's themes? For example, you have tested the Aquaria, Earth views, or even tried the humble Wheat. Superficially, the AERO effect is an extension of such Themes. However, the extra dimension that AERO brings is a glass, see-though effect. If you take the redesigned Recycle bin as an example, when you delete a file you can see how the AERO graphics change to show a screwed up paper balls in the bin. Moreover, the bin chameleon like as it subtly changes its color when you alter the background. To me, AERO's hidden message is that working with Vista will be fun; at the very least the new graphics entice me investigate what a menus has to offer. To see what I mean, why not check out the new Windows Explorer.... see here. Windows AERO Graphics OverviewHard-nosed managers will not be overly impressed with the fancy graphics, but they will take note when the extra visual clues mean that fewer users get frustrated or give up before they find the correct menu. Microsoft call this task orientated design. One theme that recurs with Vista is how features in one area, for example, AERO display, enhance other areas, for example Windows Explorer icons and navigation. As someone who looks at display monitors on servers, rather than works with graphics on laptops, I have probably underplayed the advantages of Windows AERO for small screen devices, for example, better resizing of menus and graphics. About 10 years ago, I gave up shoot'em up games, thus I have to take on trust reports of Vista's AERO delivering much better 3D and animation graphics. Sadly, the Sidebar was removed from the Vista beta 1, apparently these floating menus were causing more clutter than they solved. Correction - due to pressure from testers, the Sidebar is back in the final release of Windows Vista. And Windows 8 has the Charms Sidebar. Typical Microsoft, if you don't like Sidebars you can just turn them off, leaving those who like them to configure to their hearts content. Also this Sidebar story is typical of a development process where some features get removed, while other features get added or modified. AERO Graphics Card RequirementsFirstly, AERO is Microsoft's name for the new Vista Shell. Windows Presentation Foundation is the name give to the graphics subsystem which delivers the sharper new pictures. Naturally, the speed of the graphics card and the amount of memory will affect performance, particularly with games and movies. Try and avoid low-spec cards, such as, nVidia 5200 and ATI 9200, instead, choose high-end 6800 or X800. Apparently if you have an old graphics card, Vista and Windows Presentation Foundation are clever enough to emulate the better cards, so at least you get the AERO effect - if a little more slowly in the case of games. DX9 Pixel Shader 2.0 cards will give crisp results. Pixel shaders come from the games world, they give the texture and fade effects which give AERO its personality. Guy Recommends: SolarWinds Free Network Bandwidth MonitorThis freeware monitor is great for checking whether your network's load-balancing is performing as expected, for example, are two interfaces are getting about equal traffic? It's easy to install and straightforward to configure. You will soon be running tests to see how much network bandwidth your applications consume. The GUI has a lovely balance between immediate network traffic data in the middle, combined with buttons to seek related data and configuration settings. Give this monitor a try, it's free! Download your free network bandwidth monitor If you need more comprehensive
network analysis software: AERO - Developers PerspectiveIf we look at Vista from a developer's point of view, we get extra insights into how AERO delivers Vista's new features. What caught my eye was the fact that developers are told not to hard code colors, but to let them take their values from the themes (stored in comctl32.dll v6). I also read that the pixels are crisper for the simple reason that they have greater dots per inch (dpi). Furthermore AERO is designed for the widest possible range of devices, the benefits include better resizing of windows, and clearer display at higher resolution. While AERO is a code name for the shell, the real graphics component is Windows Presentation Foundation (Formerly called AVALON). Windows Presentation Foundation is not a replacement for Direct X, but a layer above. In fact programmers can call Direct X without using the Windows Presentation Foundation if they wished. Another example of one feature enhancing another is the way Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0 works with the AERO shell to deliver cinematographic visuals. In turn Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0 takes advantage of the 'horsepower' of the GPU for more applications that are easily parallelized (termed GPGPU). For example, image processing. See here for an example of the new Vista icons in the Control Panel Summary of Windows Vista AERO GraphicsAero is hard to define, but fortunately easy to use. From one perspective, AERO is Vista's replacement of XP's Luna desktop. Others see AERO as Windows Graphics Foundation 2.0 and the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit ) combining to deliver stunning visual displays. Microsoft would like to emphasis that AERO is the most efficient and intuitive front end to date. For me, I would cast aside the hype and ignore the jargon and say, 'Vista is fun to learn and gives me more information than any other Version of Windows Explorer'. To me, AERO is not a new word, it brings to mind Nestle's chocolate bar of the same name. Let us hope that Vista's AERO proves as tasty as its chocolate namesake.

Subject | Book | Volume | Page | Date | Description |
Taverns | 1 | 225 | 10/27/1775 | Governor: Unzaga; Royal Ensign: De Reggio, Sr. – The Commissioners agreed at this time to lease the taverns, Cabarets, boarding houses and food supply houses to Pedro Morris and Raymond Escote, provided they furnish bond in the amount of six thousand Pesos, and a list of the bartenders they will use to manage the cabarets. They were required to contribute 140 Pesos annually to the Charity Hospital. | |
Taverns | 1 | 231 | 12/1/1775 | Governor: Unzaga; Royal Ensign: De Reggio, Sr. – At this time Don Pedro Moris (Morris) presented a list of bartenders also bond in the amount of 6,600 Pesos. He asked to be allowed 25 bartenders in addition to the 13 named in the list, which was refused. It was agreed that 24 bartenders be allowed, including the 13 previously named. | |
Taverns | 2 | 29 | 5/26/1780 | Governor: Galvez; Royal Ensign: De Reggio, Sr. – The City Treasurer makes known that the Militia of this city left in expedition for Baton Rouge; also that the taverns and lodging places which were in operation in this city no longer existed.

Taverns | 2 | 39 | 10/27/1780 | Governor: Galvez; Royal Ensign: De Reggio, Sr. – The City Treasurer, Don Luis Boisdore, presents an official document stating the impossibility of making collection of city taxes owed by the cabaret owners, as they are soldiers of the Battalion stationed in the Plaza who sell and operate without license. | |
Taverns | 2 | 52 | 3/30/1781 | Governor: Galvez; Royal Ensign: De Reggio, Sr. – The Attorney General recommends that the City Treasurer be ordered to present his accounts within three days, and that the license of the private taverns be renewed. (It is revealed later, page 58, that the City Treasurer was discharged because of shortage in his accounts du largely to his inability to collect the license on taverns. See "Military.") | |
Taverns | 2 | 50 | 9/24/1781 | Governor: Galvez; Royal Ensign: De Reggio, Sr. – Don Luis Boisdore presents a statement of the funds in his possession during the last year. After examining this statement the Commissioners returned it to the City Treasurer in order that he may clear the difficulties found in the collection of fees from the Taverns, Cafes, Billiards and Boarding Houses; also the port duties on liquor brought to the city by the Captains and Pilot who refuse to pay, stating they are immune from duties – being chartered by the King. (See "Military.") | |
Taverns | 3 | II | 143 | 5/27/1791 | Governor: Miro; Royal Ensign: Almonaster – A memorandum from the Attorney General calls attention to the injuries resulting from the cabarets located outside and around the city, where savage Negroes and others can buy liquors and ammunitions during the night. |

People are afraid of flying and terrorism and when in reality the dangerous part of the trip is the car ride to the airport.
And the most dangerous place of all is your dinner table!
Here are some statistics of risk factors. These are for "the average American," but I assume they'd be similar for citizens of other countries (except for the gunshot wound, of course—because of the insane number of firearms in the USA).
Basically what they show is that if you're afraid of dying from the most publicized incidents (terrorists, earthquakes, etc.), you should give up flying in airplanes, swimming, boating, walking on city streets, working, skiing, being in snowy or stormy places, and most especially driving or riding in cars, because those activities are riskier—in the case of car travel far riskier—than being anywhere near terrorists or earthquake zones.
And enjoying an unhealthy modern lifestyle, with little physical activity and meals rich in unhealthy salt, sugar, carbs and fats, is far far more risky than anything else!
Your chance of dying from these causes is...
Heart disease Cancer Gunshot wound Car accident HIV/AIDS A fall Skin cancer Pedestrian accident Injury at work Motorcycle accident Influenza Drowning Bicycle accident Boating accident Smallpox vaccination Lightning Bus accident Train accident Earthquake Skiing or snowboarding Avalanche Airline accident Terrorist attack Dog attack Flood Amusement park ride Malaria Shark attack

It hasn't worked for the Redskins, or the Raiders either.
The Raiders are actually doing more with less right now, because of Cable. That team will see it's share of growing pains.... but things are looking up right now.
If you're seeing improvement on this team, you're seeing improvement in Kubiak.
Sometimes I wonder if you even watch the Texans after reading your posts. You don't ever seem to be accurate about the things that take place on the field and always go into "spin mode" for Kubiak using every effort possible without any real logic that goes back to football or how this team plays. It just seems that way to me. I wonder if you just enjoy being controversial or something, I dunno, but it just never seems to add up.

GUESS WHO IS GOING TO BE A MOMMY? Mila Kunis! That's right, she and Ashton Kutcher are expecting their first child together! It's something they both wanted and they are so happy! Mila Kunis' pregnancy news comes one month after their engagement was confirmed! I'm being told that Ashton Kutcher has been chatting with a longtime pal who is newly-familiar with fatherhood and he couldn't be more thrilled! Everything is talk about kids! As for if Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis will publicly confirm everything themselves, don't count on it. They plan on being as quiet about their life together as possible, and I have to admit, I love that!
BACON'S STILL GOT IT! So glad to see that Kevin Bacon still knows how to kick off those Sunday shoes! He stopped by The Tonight Show Friday night and showed Jimmy Fallon that he's lost none of his swagger 30 years after he broke out in the classic
dance! To mark the three decades since the film's release, Kevin Bacon, who is now 55 Bacon, did a step-by-step redo of two of the movie's iconic dance sequences. Yes, it was show-stopping! He was great! And it's funny considering we've all heard that Kevin Bacon gets mad when people try to make him do the Footloose dance at weddings he goes to.
Congratulations to Alyssa Milano! She and her husband David Bugliari are expecting their second child later this yea! She tweeted, "We are so happy to share with you that Milo is going to be a big brother!" Alyssa Milano is 41 years old and is so excited to be having another baby! She's always made it clear that she wanted more kids, especially so Milo could have someone to grow with. Congratulations to them!
Everyone is excited for the movie Maleficent to come out in theaters with Angelina Jolie. Well now there's more of a reason to get excited because Disney, Stella McCartney and Angelina Jolie have collaborated on a kids costume collection inspired by the film! It's going to have eight styles including sparkly princess dresses, sandals, dragon-print tees and cool sneakers for boys and girls! I bet you Angelina Jolie's youngest daughter will be a fan since she plays a young Aurora in the movie! So excited for that to hit theaters in May!
This is getting ugly! Over the weekend Olympian Johnny Weir's divorce case ended with him cleaning house. The couple rushed to court Friday and Johnny Weir's husband got a restraining order against him, claiming the Olympian attacked him by hitting him in the arm and throwing jewelry and a wooden Russian doll at him. Johnny Weir then got an order giving him the right to go into their New Jersey apartment for 30 minutes and collect his belongings with the help of cops. He took several of his husband's things, including 2 TV sets, Hermes scarves, various costumes and most importantly Tema, a Japanese Chin which he and his husband got during the marriage. A court date has been set for next week, when a judge will hear arguments over the dog and other issues.
Adele Dazeem has finally spoken! Weeks after John Travolta destroyed Idina Menzel's name, she has decided to break her silence about it! Before that infamous introduction, Idina Menzel says she was "very Zen" as she prepared to sing in front of millions of TV viewers. But John Travolta's intro threw her off for a minute. But then she just got back on track and reminded herself of where she was. So, did Idina Menzel accept his apology? YES! She says that John Travolta was really gracious, they are friends, he sent a gorgeous email and flowers, and it's all cool. She even admitted, "Please. I mean, I've only benefited from it!" Make way for Adele Dazeem!
Sarah Michelle is speaking her mind when it comes to Kim Kardashian and Kanye West! And she's not feeling it! Over the weekend, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Vogue cover went viral, and the magazine even made a Twitter hashtag go viral, #WORLDSMOSTTALKEDABOUTCOUPLE! It quickly became the subject of jokes and punch lines. James Franco and Seth Rogen photoshopped their faces onto the cover, and Sarah Michelle Gellar got on Twitter and tweeted, "Well......I guess I'm canceling my Vogue subscription. Who is with me???" Looks like everyone doesn't want to keep up with the Kardashians!
Justin Bieber has joined a very exclusive mile-high club that does not involve what you are thinking…. Justin Bieber got a new tattoo on a flight to Canada just five days after his infamous Miami Beach arrest. The tattoo was done by a famous artist who has done tattoos for Rihanna, Selena Gomez, Katy Perry and many other big celebrities. It was done at 40,000 feet in the air, which just might be a record for the highest altitude tattoo and during terrible turbulence. The tattoo says FORGIVENESS, the significance being, "Forgiveness is powerful, forgive as Jesus died on the cross to forgive our sins."

Florida Motel Destroyed by Fire; $4M in Damages
FORT PIERCE, Fla. --
A Fort Pierce motel caught fire Tuesday morning.
The fire started shortly after 7 a.m. at the Days Inn off Okeechobee Road. Fire officials said a portion of the motel was under renovation.
Gela Adelman was a guest at the motel visiting from Kansas when she was told to evacuate.
"It's unimaginable that you're in a hotel, a motel, in a city you're not even familiar with on a vacation and it's in flames," Adelman told WPBF 25 News.
Adelman said she was in her pajamas when she was told to evacuate. She said she had to get dressed, grab everything and get out.
Many residents were in their pajamas when they were told to evacuate.
"You never imagine it's going to happen where you're at," Adelman said.
Demetrius Iverson, another motel guest, said he was thankful that he was able to see the fire and get out in time.
It took about 40 firefighters to battle the flames.
"Basically, within a few minutes, it spread throughout the whole entire building itself," witness Bob Clarke said.
No injuries were reported.
The damage from the fire was estimated at $4 million.

Most memorable moment: I will never forget winning Arizona's first swimming and diving championship at Ohio State. Thinking about how we sang "Bear Down" before we received our trophy still gives me chills today. I remember looking into the faces of all my teammates and seeing how much emotion and hard work went into achieving this championship. I could not have shared this moment with a better group of girls and I know that it will remain one of my fondest memories of Arizona.
What I've Learned in my Time at Arizona:
One of the most important things I have learned as a swimmer since being at Arizona is enjoying the process we go through as a team each season. Staying in the moment and appreciating the hard work and focus that we put into our sport makes the rewards at the end even of the season even more satisfying.

What pets do you have?
i have 2 yorkies, golden retrever, and a tuxedo cat. planning on getting a Siberian Husky very soon (they look so beautiful and vicious)
We have 4 dogs..an english bull dog, a golden retriever, a chihuahua, and a chow/husky mix.
In my own flat, 2 leopard geckos (and a flatmate, not sure he counts as a pet though =P).
Other than that we have 2 family dogs (1 Akita Inu and 1 West Terrier).
One day when I finish uni and start my own life for real, I want to get 1 white Samoyed and 1 white Alaskan Malamute. I totally love those kinds of dogs.
The moment when, thanks to transmogrification, your character selection screen looks like the cast of the Downton Abbey.
1 seal mitted ragdoll, 17 seamonkeys, 2 rabbits, 15 fish.
been through 7 rabbits 2 cats 3 triops 2 snakes 1 leopard gecko in like 5 years..i'm not doing too great with pets -.-
i want a husky dog or another seal mitted cat
2 amazing dogs
"Look around you. We're all liars here, and every one of us is better than you" - PB
Got 8 cats. No specific breeds... if they were dogs they'd be classed as mongrels. Did have quite a few rabbits at one point and a dog, but the rabbits died after like 10 years and the dog was evil so we gave him to a sanctuary.
3 dogs, a kelpie, a german shepard and a rott weiler x kelpie.
Also 2 emperor scorpions.

The black one doesn't like being photographed. I've tried and tried and tried and he always looks away. He's also the submissive one but he's always happy to see people. He's 10 years old so he sleeps a lot but that doesn't stop him tucking his lips into his mouth as though he's smiling when he sees us.
The yellow one though, she poses for the camera. Trying to get a non-pose photo took some time, but I got it. She's the playful one but rather jealous (but in a 'LOOKATME LOOKATME LOOKATME' way). She regularly noms my fingers.
Out of the 2, the yellow one is my favourite. I treat them both the same, but she's the more comical and playful one. When we went to see her at 3 weeks old, she was the only pup out of the 3 remaining that got up from sleep to see me. I was kneeled down and she put her front paws on my knees. At that point, she'd basically picked us instead of the other way around. Bringing her home at 7 weeks old, she stayed in my arms the whole way home but kept trying to wriggle free to explore under the front seats of the car. After her first night, she already had the guts to growl at my dad in the morning and to this day, she still growls at all of us in a playful manner (just to get some attention usually).

Product description
It is 1866, and Walter Moody has come to make his fortune upon the New Zealand goldfields. On arrival, he stumbles across a tense gathering of twelve local men, who have met in secret to discuss a series of unsolved crimes. A wealthy man has vanished, a whore has tried to end her life, and an enormous fortune has been discovered in the home of a luckless drunk. Moody is soon drawn into the mystery: a network of fates and fortunes that is as complex and exquisitely patterned as the night sky. The Luminaries is an extraordinary piece of fiction. It is full of narrative, linguistic and psychological pleasures, and has a fiendishly clever and original structuring device. Written in pitch-perfect historical register, richly evoking a mid-19th century world of shipping and banking and goldrush boom and bust, it is also a ghost story, and a gripping mystery. It is a thrilling achievement for someone still in her mid-20s, and will confirm for critics and readers that Catton is one of the brightest stars in the international writing firmament.

The Minneapolis City Council has decided by unanimous vote to allow anyone who leases commercial kitchen space to prepare and sell food from a motorized cart in the city's downtown area on Friday, the Star Tribune said. Prior to the decision, Minneapolis only allowed hot dogs, pizza, popcorn, and pre-packaged food to be sold from carts.
Council member Lisa Goodman said the measure will allow a set number of vendors to operate the motorized cards in specific, permanent areas downtown, the Heavy Table said. The proposal will take effect on May 1, 2010, when the city will start taking license applications.

I was invited to the first "Carlsberg Where's The Party?" last year, chose not to go and regretted ever since. Not that I didn't wanna go , but I am pretty sure I got caught up in something else. Friends came back from the party, kept telling me how awesome it was and I should have went with them. . . NOT helping.
Imagine a weekend where everything is nicely planned for you to unwind yourself from all the stress and hardwork – with cool music, fun exciting games, great companions, unlimited bottles of cool refreshing Carlsberg beer, the relaxing freedom. . . and most importantly at the coolest venue that you will never thought of!
Everything is just like a pleasant surprise!!
I mean, admit it. It does sound pretty darn cool eh.

Notes on the Geography of Peninsular India: Aurangabad: Photo 1Although tourists arrive chiefly to see the caves at Ellora, the city has its own chief attraction, the Bibi ka Maqbara. It's the tomb of Rabia Daurani, Aurangzeb's wife, and it was completed only 25 years after the Taj Mahal. James Fergusson, often a very shrewd judge, wrote in the 1870s that the tomb "was intended, it is said, to reproduce an exact copy of Shah Jahan's celebrated tomb, the Taj Mahall. But the difference between the two monuments, even in so short an interval, is startling. The first stands alone in the world for certain qualities all can appreciate; the second is by no means remarkable for any qualities of elegance or design, and narrowly escapes vulgarity and bad taste. In the beginning of the nineteenth century a more literal copy of the Taj was erected in Lucknow over the tomb of one of its sovereigns. In this last, however, bad taste and tawdriness reign supreme. It is difficult to understand how a thing can be so like in form and so unlike in spirit; but so it is, and these three Tajs form a very perfect scale by which to measure the decline of art after the great Mughal dynasty passed its zenith and began its rapid downward career."

CCSM3 cases refer to the way a user creates a particular CCSM model run. It refers to both the ``name'' of the model run (and the name associated with model run output data) as well as the directory name where the scripts for the model run will be generated.
In what follows and throughout this document, we will use the following naming and style convention:
The CCSM3.0 scripts have been significantly upgraded from those in CCSM2. The new scripts are based on a very different design philosophy, making their use much easier for both novice as well as expert users. The new scripts operate by generating resolved scripts (see section 4.3) for a specific component set, resolution and CCSM3 initialization type. In addition, machine-specific build, run and archiving scripts are produced for each machine requested. The script generation process does not have to occur on the production machine and can occur on a front end machine if needed. Only the user-generated resolved build and run scripts have to be executed on the production machine. The README file in the ccsm3/scripts/ directory provides up-to-date information on how to use the CCSM3.0 scripts. Users should reference that file for additional information.
The following steps provide a summary of the steps necessary to create, build and run a model case using the CCSM3.0 scripts. These steps will be covered in detail in sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4.1, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8 and 6.
As shown above, the user must invoke the two commands, create_newcase and configure to generate a new model case. Invoking create_newcase (as shown below) results in the generation of a new $CASEROOT/ directory containing environment variable files and the script configure. Executing configure results in the creation of several $CASEROOT/ subdirectories containing scripts for namelist generation, input data prestaging, and creation of component executables and required CCSM3 libraries. $CASEROOT/ also contains scripts for building, running, and performing long- term data archiving on machine $MACH.
The script, create_newcase, is the starting point for the generation of a new CCSM3 case. The create_newcase script exists in the $CCSMROOT/ccsm3/scripts/ directory and must be run from this directory. Invoking create_newcase generates environment variable files and an accompanying configure script in a new user-specified case directory.
To obtain a concise usage summary type:
> create_newcase
To obtain a detailed usage summary type:
> create_newcase -help
To obtain a new case directory type:
> create_newcase -case $CASEROOT -mach $MACH [-res resolution] [-compset <component set name>] [-ccsmroot <ccsm root directory>]
The -case and -mach arguments are required. If $CASEROOT does not contain a full pathname (e.g. it is simply set to $CASE), a new case directory ($CASEROOT/) will be generated in the $CCSMROOT/ccsm3/scripts/ directory. This is not recommended and the user is urged to set $CASEROOT to a full pathname. Although a target machine must be specified on the create_newcase command line, other machines can be added to $CASEROOT/ at a later time (see section 6.10). Typing
> ./create_newcase -case /home/user/$CASE -mach $MACH
will result in the creation of a new directory /home/user/$CASE (i.e. $CASEROOT) which will in turn contain the following:
The files env_conf, env_run and env_mach.$MACH contain environment variables that define the CCSM run. The SourceMods/ subdirectory is an optional location for user-modified source code. Optional arguments to create_newcase are resolution (-res), component set name (-compset), and the CCSM3 root directory (-ccsmroot). Including the arguments -res and -compset will modify the default env_conf file that is generated. If no optional arguments provided to configure, the resolution will be set to T42_gx1v3 and the component set will be set to B in env_conf. As an example, running
> ./create_newcase -case /user/case1 -mach bluesky -res T85_gx1v3 -compset K
will result in a new case directory, (/user/case1/) containing an env_conf file which will set up a CCSM run using component set K (cam, clm, dice and docn, cpl, see section 1.3.1) at T85_gx1v3 resolution (see section 1.3.2). The directory, (/user/case1/), will also contain an env_mach.bluesky file.
The concept of ``resolved'' scripts is new to CCSM3. A ``resolved'' namelist-prestaging script generates a component namelist and prestages component input data for a given CCSM resolution and a given way of starting up the CCSM run. Different initialization datasets are required for different types of CCSM initializations (see 5.4). Similarly, different initialization datasets are required for different CCSM resolutions. For instance, input datasets needed for a T42_gx1v3 run are different than those needed for a T31_gx3v5 run. Components comprising a startup T42_gx1v3 run will have different namelists from those comprising a branch T42_gx1v3 run. Components comprising a startup T31_gx1v5 run will have different namelists from those comprising a startup T42_gx1v3 run. Finally, component set B at T42_gx1v3 will have different namelists than component set A at T42_gx1v3.
The script configure generates ``resolved'' CCSM3 scripts in the $CASEROOT/ directory. These will function to create component namelists, prestage the necessary component input data and build and run the CCSM model on a target machine. configure must be run from the $CASE directory.
The environment variables listed in env_conf determine what is ``resolved'' when configure is invoked and consequently what may not be modified once the resolved scripts exist. In particular, the contents of the scripts generated by configure (in Buildnml_prestage/ and Buildexe/) depend on the values of the environment variables in env_conf. In general, env_conf resolves model resolution, model component sets and model initialization type (e.g. startup, branch or hybrid). Consequently, env_conf must be modified before configure is run. Once configure is invoked env_conf may be modified only by running configure -cleannall (see below) first.
In addition, running configure for a given machine also generates batch queue commands for the given machine that depend on the task/thread settings in env_mach.$MACH. Consequently, if values other than the default values listed are desired, these should be changed before running configure. In this case, the following lines in env_mach.$MACH must be modified before running configure):
setenv NTASKS_ATM $ntasks_atm setenv NTHRDS_ATM $nthrds_atm setenv NTASKS_LND $ntasks_lnd setenv NTHRDS_LND $nthrds_lnd setenv NTASKS_ICE $ntasks_ice setenv NTHRDS_ICE $nthrds_ice setenv NTASKS_OCN $ntasks_ocn setenv NTHRDS_OCN $nthrds_ocn setenv NTASKS_CPL $ntasks_cpl setenv NTHRDS_CPL $nthrds_cpl
The usage for configure is as follows.
To obtain a concise summary of the usage type:
> configure
To obtain extensive documentation of the usage type:
> configure -help
To invoke the various configure options type:
> configure [-mach $MACH] [-addmach $MACH] [-cleanmach $MACH] [-cleanall]
A full summary of each option is provided below.
Running configure -mach $MACH creates the following sub-directories and files in the $CASEROOT/ directory:
The configure options -cleanmach and -cleanall provide the user with the ability to make changes to env_conf or env_mach.$MACH after configure -mach $MACH has been invoked. The configure script will stop with an error message if a user attempts to recreate scripts that already exist. The build and run scripts will also recognize changes in env_conf or env_mach.$MACH that require configure to be rerun. Note that the options -cleanall and -cleanmach are fundamentally different.
Running configure -cleanmach $MACH renames the build, run, and l_archive scripts for the particular machine and allows the user to reset the machine tasks and threads and rerun configure. It is important to note that the Build*/ directories will NOT be updated in this process. As a result, local changes to namelist, input data, or the environment variable files will be preserved.
Running configure -cleanall removes all files associated with all previous invocations of the configure script. The $CASEROOT/ directory will now appear as if create_newcase had just been run with the exception that local modifications to the env_* files are preserved. All Build*/ directories will be removed, however. As a result, any changes to the namelist generation scripts in Buildnml_prestage/ will NOT be preserved. Before invoking this command, users should make backup copies of their ``resolved'' component namelists in the Buildnml_Prestage/ directory if modifications to the generated scripts were made.
The advantage of having scripts for more than one machine in one $CASEROOT/ directory is that the same ``resolved'' scripts in Buildnml_prestage/ and Buildexe/ can be used on multiple machines. Since long production runs are often performed on more than one machine during the course of a model run, this mechanism makes it very seamless to change machines during the course of a single model run.
Running configure -addmach $MACH allows the user to add new machines to an already generated $CASEROOT/ directory. For instance, if a $CASEROOT/ directory and accompanying scripts were created for bluesky, the following build and run scripts for bluesky would exist in the $CASEROOT/ directory:
Users can generate scripts for blackforest in the $CASEROOT/ directory as follows:
The following additional scripts are then produced in the $CASEROOT/ directory:
The files env_conf, env_run and env_mach.$MACH contain environment variables needed to generate ``resolved'' scripts, build and run the CCSM model and perform short and long-term archiving on output data. The following table give a summary of the environment variables in each file. Those entries where ``User Modification'' is ``yes'' denote environment variables that the user might want to modify whereas those where ``User Modification'' is ``no'' are environment variable that are given reasonable default values and that in general the user might not want to change. A full discussion of each of these environment variables is given in sections 4.6, 4.7 and 4.8. The same summary can be found in $CASEROOT/env.readme.

This section provides a brief overview of the design of the scripts and can be used by CCSM developers to help understand how the scripts are implemented and how they operate.
The highest level scripts, create_newcase and create_test, are in the $CCSMROOT/ccsm3/scripts directory. All supporting utilities are contained in the $CCSMROOT/ccsm3/scripts/ccsm_utils/ directory, which in turn has the following directory structure:
ccsm_utils/ | +--------------+-------------+---- ---------+----------+ | | | | | Case.template/ Components/ Machines/ Testcases/ Tools/ | SourceMods/ | src.*
create_newcase copies the Case.template/ directory recursively to any a new $CASEROOT/ directory and subsequently modifies these files with the appropriate sed commands. The files and directories in Case.template form the baseline set of files for every new case.
The Components/ directory contains a unique script for every CCSM3 component. The template files set up the component scripts in the $CASEROOT/Build*/ directories. These include namelist generation and data prestaging scripts for the CCSM3 components as well as scripts for building internal libraries and CCSM3 component executables. The filename convention is component.template (e.g. cam.template). Template scripts for each component selected in the env_conf file are executed when configure is called. There are also templates for each CCSM3 internal library that needs to be built.
The ccsm_utiles/Machines/ directory contains all machine specific information. The only other directory where machine-specific information exists is $CCSMROOT/ccsm3/models/bld/, where machine specific compiler flags are placed. In the Machines/ directory, each machine may contain up to five files. For each supported machine there are always three files: env*.$MACH, batch*.$MACH, and run*.$MACH. If long-term archiving exists for that machine, l_archive*.$MACH will also exist. In addition, some machines may also have modules.*.$MACH, if modules are used on that machine. The env*.$MACH file is copied directly to the $CASEROOT/ directory and renamed env_mach.$MACH by the script create_newcase. The batch*.$MACH, run*.$MACH and l_archive*.$MACH scripts are used by configure (in conjunction with other tools) to generate the machine-dependent build, run, and long-term archiving scripts in the $CASEROOT/ directory.
The ccsm_utils/Testcases/ directory contains scripts which automatically generate CCSM test cases. For each test case, there are two scripts. Each test case is designated by a unique six character name, e.g. ER.01a, and has its own setup script. These scripts are used by create_test to generate a wide variety of CCSM tests (see section 7).
Finally, the Tools/ directory contains a large suite of scripts. Some of these scripts are used by create_newcase and configure. Others are simply used as utilities by the ``resolved'' scripts in the Buildnml_Prestage/ directory and the ``resolved'' run and build scripts in the $CASEROOT/ directory.
Users will generally not need to modify any of the scripts under ccsm_utils/. Exceptions where such modifications may be needed would be porting to a new machine, modifying the default archiving behavior, adding new resolutions, or adding new test cases. Such issues are described in more detail later (see section 6). Users should feel free to modify files in ccsm_utils/ as needed. If modifications to ccsm_utils/ files are needed, they must be done by users in their personal workarea and not in code directories that are shared among more than one user.
As described above, the ccsm_utils/Tools/ directory contains several generic utilities. The scope of these scripts varies significantly. Although many of the tools contained in this directory are self described, we provide a general summary of their usage below.
