The movie story deals with Jai who is practicing guitar when a girl runs to him and asks him to save her from a gang of goons chasing her. Then Jay, without fighting, resolves the conflict. The girl introduces herself as Manasa. They slowly become friends. But one day she asks Jai to leave her and go as she cannot stand the separation from him if their relationship develops any further. He then goes back to India and changes the mind of Manasa's brother and when they give a vacation he goes with him to his village. There, where everyone are conservative in nature, he changes their nature and makes them more lovable. When Manasa expresses her love for him, he tells his flashback. It is then revealed that he was born to their rival's family. His father Deva wanted to convert the people of his village. But his mother didn't want to stay there, so she left him. Later when Jay goes there, he falls in love with Vennela. He starts taking revenge on the Manasa's family without revealing his identity. Then they decide to marry Jai with Vennela because they both are in love with each other. During the marriage the inspector tells his father that the enmity is rekindling because his son is taking revenge on the rivals. Soon afterwards, the rivals come and start killing everyone. After the fight it is known that Jai's mother dies. His father banishes him and blames her death on him. The story is now back to the present. Manasa's uncle challenges Jay that if he can defeat his men then he too would follow non violence. After successfully defeating them, her uncle asks Jay that if he could defeat the rival's son he would marry Manasa to Jai. Jai gets angry at his stubbornness and reveals his true identity. He starts fighting with Manasa"s uncle. Then all her family members come and convert him too. This was watched by his father who had just arrived there. His father welcomes him back to the family.

"By partnering with Infor, we now have an opportunity to work with both Infor Cloverleaf and Infor ION, which opens up a whole new level of integration possibilities for our clients."
In addition, Infor Cloverleaf is designed to enable connectivity among data, doctors and communities by providing the ability to quickly and securely transfer critical patient information. Data can be easily communicated to departments within the same facility and to other healthcare organizations that might be treating the same patient. By delivering timely access to integrated information, providers can ensure that the best method of care is offered.
"We believe that Infor Cloverleaf will help our clients to make better care decisions by providing a holistic view of their patients' medical history," said Jeff Hoekstra, solutions director, Analysts International Corporation.

Take the Long View with Digital Transformation By @IoT2040 | @ThingsExpo #IoT #M2M #API #Microservices #InternetOfThings

The phrase is certainly not a precise one, and as subject to hand-waving and distortion as any high-falutin' terminology in the world of information technology. Yet it is an excellent choice of words to describe what enterprise IT—and by extension, organizations in general—should be working to achieve.

In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Job hunt
The federal government's popular USAJobs Web site is getting a facelift that will make it easier for agencies to post and standardize job openings.
A new template will help agency officials enter job descriptions, duties, qualifications and application information. It will include an overview of every job listed on the home page. A transition period will allow agency officials to continue using existing templates until they are comfortable with the new format.
In less than a year, more than 53 million visits have been logged on the site and 483,450 résumés saved on it.
Housing computers
Looks like the Department of Housing and Urban Development got itself in a little hot water over the purchases of computers and related equipment in 2001, 2002 and 2003.
In a report issued last week, General Accounting Office officials said HUD failed to keep records about computer equipment purchases or inventory. The report identifies nearly 2,400 computer items worth more than $2.2 million not recorded in the inventory.
In addition, department officials could not provide the locations of 104 items worth more than $82,000. It seems the problem erupted because much of the equipment was bought with government purchasing cards.
HUD officials have now figured out a way to avoid such inventory practices. They awarded an $860 million contract to EDS last August to consolidate all information processing, telecommunications and other information technology needs on an enterprise basis that hopefully will cut down on the department's runaway shopping habit.
Starbucks redux
Taking a page from Starbucks Corp., the Open Park Project, a nonprofit group, is launching
an outdoor wireless Internet hotspot that provides free
access in front of the Supreme Court
building, the Library of Congress and
the yet-to-be completed Capitol Visitor Center.
The service "will give the public outside the Capitol the same quick Internet access for research, e-mail and news that their representatives enjoy inside their offices," said Greg Staple, Open Park's
This is a first step in Open Park's mission to provide free public wireless Internet services across the National Mall. The project already has its own Web site (www.openpark.net), and officials are seeking support from other high-tech companies to make it work.
Just when you wanted to get away from the office for a little while, you may find yourself hooked up even when you are taking that lunchtime break.
Robotic soldiers
Northrop Grumman Corp. officials say they are providing important support for U.S. forces in Iraq, Afghanistan and Bosnia via robotic systems, which provide remote access to potentially hazardous situations in military theaters.
Through its Remotec Inc. subsidiary, the defense contractor is providing the military with more than 1,300 robots for
hazardous-duty operations previously handled by soldiers. And the number continues to grow as new robotic systems and greater technologies increasingly use robots for such measures as neutralizing improvised explosive devices and unexploded ordnance.

Recent Manasota Key reviews
"Oh my....absolutely wonderful, perfect, and all you could ever ask for in staying almost in the beach instead of on. Door to the beach is more than a true description for sure. Door to pure happiness, peace, and joy for the beach goer and sun God or Goddess. The cottage is immaculate and stocked for all needs rather in restroom or kitchen. The master bed was fantastic as was the temperature and fans in the home after coming in from the heat. Bikes, washer and dryer, beach toys for the kids, and on and on. Manatee within first 30 minutes being there and in the ocean. Dolphins, many, saw daily. And the turtles!!!! Saw one nesting one night and even go to see the STOP ladies assisting a nest that had already hatched. The beach is so secluded in a way as folks consider this part of the beach, Florida, and area, "old Florida." Just like the good old days before all the commercial stuff. None of that here. Just a wonderful vacation for our family. I was sad to leave and am anxious already to return. Well worth the stay as all of the comforts are more than you could hope for and it's just a wonderful rental thanks to Neal!!!!"Guest: DLS Date of Stay: June 2015 Review Submitted: July 6, 2015View listing
"I have stayed here several times over the last 2 1/2 years. I really enjoy my stays here. The cottages are very clean and well furnished and close to all conveniences. The owner and manager are great people to deal with. I would recommend this place to anyone."Guest: Sandy E. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: June 23, 2015View listing
"We decided to make a trip to Florida at the very last minute over 4th of July weekend. Since July is not peak season, I had my pick of many rentals. We had never rented a house before, so I was a little nervous about how everything would go. I called the number listed at about 9:00 at night thinking I would leave a message, but the owner answered. We chatted for about 20 minutes and I knew this was the place for us. Darlene went above and beyond to make sure our family (2 adults and 2 kids) would be comfortable and have everything we could possibly need. We rented the upstairs house (Capt. Quarters) and it was beautiful. We had a nice view of the Gulf from our porch, and the beach was only 100 or so steps away. Perfect for letting the boys walk back to the house by themselves to grab some of the many beach toys Darlene provided. Darlene made the boys feel so special, and made us all feel like family. The area never felt crowded, the beach was beautiful, and there was lots to do in the area. My boys came home with 15+ baggies full of shark teeth and other prehistoric finds from the beach. We all agreed this was our favorite vacation so far, and can not wait to visit again and see Darlene. The only bad part was leaving :("Guest: Danielle F. Date of Stay: July 2015 Review Submitted: July 20, 2015View listing
"We stayed 2 weeks at this cottage, and loved it. It was very clean and quiet. The location was perfect. We were minutes from our favorite beach- Blind Pass Beach. We spent several evenings at the "private beach" watching the sunset. The owners were great to work with, from the initial booking to check out. If you are looking for a place with a lot of room, this isn't for you, but if your looking for a clean and cozy get away, this is your place. We loved it- close to 4 beaches, shopping, and great restaurants. We will be going back next year!"Guest: Connie R. Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: April 1, 2015View listing

March 28, 2015 - I had a pair of the multi-colored ones for about five years that I wore almost every day each winter (putting black fingered gloves underneath for the coldest part of the winter). Last week, I caught the edge of one of the thumbs on something and it started to unravel. Apart from that, those 5 year old ones still look fantastic -- the color and shape really held up well even with the wear I put on them. When I came to the site to reorder more, I decided to order the purple-only ones. They just arrived today and, assuming that these hold up as well as my old ones did, I will like these even better, since they cover more of my hand than the multi-colored ones did (they stopped at the base of my fingers. These come to my knuckles). You won't regret buying these. I promise.
March 3, 2015 - Very good workmanship, very attractive. Good price for alpaca. Warm and useful.
February 27, 2015 - i got the purple for myself & love them. i got the brown for my sister - but she loved my purple ones so i did an exchange. that exchange took only 2 weeks. but these were worth the wait! they are warmer than any other fingerless mitts or gloves i have ever had. & beautiful, as well.
February 26, 2015 - Given as a gift, so I'm afraid I can't speak about their fit or warmth, but they were very CUTE!!! And alpaca is so yummy and luxurious, for such a great price!
December 26, 2014 - Ordered both the brown and the green for my two grandsons, ages 18 and 22. They loved them. Exactly as pictured.

Once again racing powerhouses Lord Michael Taylor and Sir Charles Williams have repeated as champions in their respective categories at the conclusion of the 2012 racing year of the Barbados Turf Club. For Taylor, it is the fifth consecutive title for his Blue Diamond Stables whose final winning figure was $520 680 from 248 starters. These included 23 wins – 11 from 98 starters in the first season and 12 from 105 starters in the second season. He didn't have any winners in the third season from 41 starters. Despite topping the half million dollar mark, it will easily go down as a sub-par year by their usually high standards. It is hard to find an outstanding horse from the stable, which only won one feature race – the Breeders Sprint Stakes & Trophy over 1 100 metres with Vitality. The exit of jockey Paul Eddery provided opportunities for several riders starting with then apprentice Reshaun Latchman. But during the second season, Latchman and other top riders withdrew their services from the stable. Conscious of their dwindling performances, Blue Diamond Stables has offered 18 of their best horses up for syndication. Hopefully this can bring about a change in their fortunes. Sir David Seale took second place with Hopefield Stables scoring 13 wins from 87 starters and earning $360 118. Gold Cup winner Dancin David and Aristodemus were their major players. Sir Charles finished third with 11 wins from 66 runners and earnings of $247 164, while Gay Smith's Springhead Stables captured fourth spot, also with 11 wins from 117 starters and earnings of $231 003. Horses bred by Sir Charles entered the winner's enclosure 26 times, thus ensuring the business mogul was rewarded for his planning and businesslike approach to the breeding industry. He retained his Breeders Championship title for the fourth consecutive year with earnings of $495 363 from 204 starters. From his main operation, Broomfield in St Lucy, Sir Charles' experience, technical skills and success in the trade, speak volumes. Pride of place in 2012 goes to Derby and Tanglewood winner Kendal Moon. Gay Smith came second in this category with 11 wins from 117 starters which all earned $231 003. Karl M. Honensee, breeder of Dancin David fame was third amassing $212 145. Bruce Bailey, with seven wins from 101 starters took fourth with earnings of $190 000. Like the owners and trainers, the breeders titles are all decided on money earned.

(Dec. 16, 2010)--As time runs out to visit the Buffalo Soldiers and Play! exhibits at the Institute of Texan Cultures, the winter holidays are an excellent time to come in and take a look.
"Buffalo Soldiers: Discovering Heritage on the Texas Frontier" runs through Monday, Jan. 3. The exhibit tells the story of historic African-American cavalry units assigned to Texas in the 1860s and 1870s.
The army offered an opportunity for African-Americans to improve their station in life. It was a chance to receive fair pay, education and other skills, which would continue to serve them after their tours of duty. Some buffalo soldiers remained in Texas after their military service, becoming members of the cultural landscape. They started families that remain in the state to this day. The exhibit explores the remarkable stories of these individuals and the legacies rediscovered by descendents generations later.
"Play!" runs through Sunday, Jan. 9. Designed to allow families, school groups and business professionals to explore how people connect socially through play, the exhibit employs larger-than-life games that invite visitors to become part of the experience. Participants can explore firsthand, social dynamics such as friendship, collaboration, teamwork and empathy.
"Play!" incorporates six all-body interactive games: bowling, billiards, dice, backgammon, foosball and dominoes. The game sets integrate art, music and video to create immersive, hands-on experiences visitors discover individually or with others. Each activity is guided by a bilingual narrative explaining the social sciences at work by highlighting interpersonal exchanges that influence culture and generations.
"Play!" was developed by Mexico City artist and composer Nacho Rodriguez Bach and San Antonio's Evergreen Exhibitions.

A revolution in cloud computing is underway, and Ravi Sandhu believes it will be much bigger than the PC and Internet revolutions that have already changed the way we live. Sandhu, director of the UTSA Institute for Cyber Security, says UTSA is taking a leadership role in tackling three fundamental cloud technology problems: how to build and operate the cloud, how to use it profitably for diverse applications and how to keep it secure.
Sandhu, the Lutcher Brown Distinguished Chair in Cyber Security in the College of Sciences, and Ram Krishnan, assistant professor of electrical engineering in the UTSA College of Engineering, are funded by a $500,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to improve cloud security.
Did you know? Sandhu, a world-renowned cybersecurity expert, holds 30 patents, has authored more than 250 papers and been cited more than 30,000 times.

The shattering of Europe: It's not just Scotland, almost every major European nation is threatened by breakaway movements. History tells us the result could be bloodshed, chaos and suffering
The year is 2022, and in the gilded splendour of his Brussels headquarters, the EU President is facing a tricky dilemma.
Pressure is building on him to finalise his latest budget — yet the problems seem intractable. With so many small new nations scrabbling for funds, agreement seems impossible.
Catalonia, for example, is demanding deep cuts in EU administrative expenses, while the Scots are calling for higher welfare subsidies. The new states of Lombardy and Tuscany are at loggerheads, the Corsicans are still in the doghouse after their government's latest corruption scandal, and the Walloons haven't paid a penny into common euro funds for years.
A shattering continent: Almost every major European nation is being threatened by breakaway movements
The new map of the Continent, a crazy patchwork of competing states governed by an interventionist European Union, tells the wider story. The age of the strong nations has gone, and Britain has joined Italy, Spain and Belgium on the scrap heap of history.
This may sound a fanciful scenario, yet recent events across Europe — including the looming independence referendum in Scotland — tell a very different story.
Six days ago, the people of Spain's most prosperous region, Catalonia, voted overwhelmingly for parties favouring the breaking away from Spanish rule. As a result, almost two out of three seats in the Catalan parliament are occupied by politicians who want an independence referendum.
The parallels with the situation in Scotland, where Alex Salmond's SNP has secured a referendum for 2014, are irresistible — although since the Catalans are too busy fighting among themselves, it is unlikely the Spanish state will disintegrate overnight.
Still, it is not impossible. And it is worth remembering that this is far more than an obscure local squabble.
Spain has Europe's fifth biggest economy, while Catalonia is by far its richest and most dynamic region. The biggest Catalan city, Barcelona, is not just one of the Mediterranean's most enterprising metropolises — it is the EU's fourth biggest city by GDP.
Independence: The people of Catalonia voted overwhelmingly for parties favouring the breaking away from Spanish rule
Catalan homeland: Many in the region have long campaigned for independence as seen here as they demonstrated in Brussels in 2009
The Catalans have their own language, flag, cuisine, literature and parliament. Their economy is the same size as Portugal's and, as anyone who has visited Barcelona and seen the ubiquitous striped flags will attest, Catalan culture is drenched in separatist feeling.
Few Catalans have forgotten their appalling treatment under the dictatorship of General Franco who, as late as 1975, was still trying to suppress local feeling beneath the jackboot of Spanish fascism.
Many Catalans resent paying taxes to poorer Spanish regions, and believe they would be much better off on their own.
To an outside observer, therefore, an independent Catalonia would not be inherently absurd. Yet if the Catalans did break away, they might trigger a collapse of the entire Spanish state. The Basques would be certain to demand independence, while other regions, such as Galicia and Aragon, might follow suit.
This is a story with special resonance for us in Britain.
Like the Spanish, we live in a geographically and ethnically diverse country — once the epicentre of one of the world's great empires, now bound together by the legacy of history under a popular but elderly monarch.
Leader: The biggest Catalan city, Barcelona, is one of the Mediterranean's most enterprising metropolises and is also the EU's fourth biggest city by GDP
Though few people today seem to realise it, the future of the United Kingdom is in the balance. While the Catalans are still arguing about their referendum, the Scottish Nationalists have already arranged theirs for 2014.
To the great relief of those of us who passionately believe we are better together, polls show the Scottish separatists heading for defeat.
But that could quickly change, not least because the cunning Mr Salmond has won the vote for 16 and 17-year-olds, who are thought to be more radical than their elders.
It is, in other words, perfectly plausible that in two years, Great Britain will no longer exist.
Those of us living south of Hadrian's Wall will find ourselves in a rump kingdom of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The nationalist momentum would probably be unstoppable — and soon one country would become four.
To my mind, that would be a terrible tragedy. But it would also be part of a trend. Across Europe, separatist movements are buoyant. Many, after toiling in obscurity for years, have profited from the collapse of the European economy, exploiting popular resentments at their governing elites.
Popular: Alex Salmond has won the vote for 16 and 17-year-olds, who are thought to be more radical than their elders
In the Basque Country, for example, separatist parties won 48 out of 75 seats in October's parliamentary elections.
In Italy, the separatist Lombard League, which demands greater autonomy for the industrial north, won a record 26 per cent of the vote in recent regional elections.
Belgium has been paralysed by ethnic tension for more than a decade, with Dutch-speaking Flemings and French-speaking Walloons barely on speaking terms.
Indeed, since Antwerp (one of Northern Europe's greatest ports) is now controlled by a party demanding Flemish independence, many experts believe the disintegration of Belgium is only a matter of time.
Even France — historically the most centralised country in Europe and famously intolerant of regional differences — has seen a surge in separatist sentiment. In Napoleon's homeland of Corsica, support for independence has jumped threefold since 2004, and the Corsican nationalists came second in 2010's regional elections.
It would be tempting to dismiss all this as merely a reaction to the dreadful woes of the eurozone, with ordinary voters turning to the nationalists to express their anger and frustration at the corrupt political classes that have led them into penury.
But the rise of separatism is also a reminder that no nation lasts for ever. Look at a map of Europe in 1912, 1942, 1962 or even 1992 and you will see a very different picture from that in 2012.
We take our current nation-states for granted but we often forget that Alsace was once German, Calais was once English and Naples was once Spanish.
Prague was once the capital of a country called Czechoslovakia, Vienna was the jewel of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and the British Royal Standard once flew over Dublin Castle.
And until relatively recently, countries called Italy and Germany had never existed at all.
As the Oxford historian Norman Davies pointed out last year in his brilliant book Vanished Kingdoms, the past is littered with the corpses of dead European states.
Some of these 'vanished kingdoms' were vast superpowers, such as the Byzantine Empire and the Soviet Union, while others have been almost lost in the fog of history, like the Visigothic kingdom of Aquitaine or the seven different kingdoms of Burgundy.
And others, like Lithuania, Estonia and Montenegro, were annihilated from the map only to make stirring comebacks.

Even in my lifetime, Europe has changed beyond imagination. When I was growing up, it never occurred to me that the USSR, East Germany, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia might one day disappear from the map.
In some cases, separation is probably long overdue. Belgium, though a perfectly inoffensive place to visit, is the classic case of an artificial state that has outlived its usefulness.
The Belgian state was created only in 1831 after its Catholic inhabitants had rebelled against their Dutch masters.
Britain feared that its strategically vital ports would be absorbed into France. As a result, even though they spoke two languages, the Flemings and Walloons became an independent country in their own right. Another country facing disintegration is Italy, which never existed as an independent entity until the 1860s. Indeed, as the historian David Gilmour has recently argued, Italy makes no real sense at all.
Its people lived for centuries under different governments, the regions were at totally different stages of economic development and even ate completely different food.
Above all, they did not even speak the same language, with fewer than 3 per cent — all in Tuscany — using the dialect we now call Italian.
No wonder, then, that Italy is in such a mess. The figure of 27 prime ministers in 40 years tells its own story, while the increasingly likely prospect of a comeback by the repugnant Silvio Berlusconi, a ghastly cross between Casanova, Mussolini and Benny Hill, is enough to make anybody shudder.
Perhaps, it really would be better to break Italy up, with Tuscany, Venice, Naples and Sicily all going their own way, rather like the states of the former Yugoslavia. Yet the Yugoslav parallel is a chilling reminder of the terrible dangers of separatist nationalism.
For decades, Yugoslavia seemed a peaceful and contented country. Like Spain and Italy, it became enormously popular with British visitors in the 1980s, when its beaches attracted thousands of sun-seeking tourists.
But nobody who followed events in the next decade will easily forget what happened next. When the Communist system collapsed, a new breed of nationalist politicians, most infamously the Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic, ruthlessly exploited Yugoslavia's ethnic differences.
As the media whipped up a storm of xenophobic feeling, neighbour turned against neighbour, with devastating consequences.
Some 14,000 people were killed in Croatia's war of independence, while in the bloodstained republic of Bosnia, rival nationalist thugs killed a staggering 64,000 — many of them women and children.
What happened in Yugoslavia was not inevitable. In Czechoslovakia, for example, Slovakian nationalists negotiated a peaceful separation through the so-called Velvet Divorce, while the Soviet Union broke up with surprisingly little violence.
Ruthless: When the Communist system collapsed, Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic exploited Yugoslavia's ethnic differences
Yet the fact remains that separation is enormously risky. Few nations disintegrate without some bad blood or even some bloodshed. And the results are usually very different from what the nationalist partisans expect.
Rebelling against one overbearing government, they merely install another — often bossier, more interfering and more repressive than the last. If the rise of separatism continues, therefore, the consequences for Europe could be bleak indeed.
It may seem far-fetched to imagine ethnic purges, prison camps, streams of refugees and cities under siege. But it has not only happened before — it was the stuff of daily headlines just 20 years ago.
Even assuming the worst did not happen, we would see the emergence of a generation of squabbling little statelets.
And this, of course, would be a gift to the Brussels elite, who would see it as the perfect opportunity to strengthen the bureaucratic power of the EU at the expense of the nation-state.
There is a particular lesson here for us in Britain.
For the past four centuries, since the union of the Scottish and English crowns under James I in 1603, we have shared a common history.
Working together, we founded the most successful state the world has ever seen, unleashing the power of industry, the genius of science and the force of our moral example to lay the foundations of the modern world.
As partners in Great Britain Limited, we not only established the first modern economy, we carried the flag of commerce across the globe, smashed Hitler's Nazi empire and built a compassionate welfare state that has been a model to the world.
To throw all this away in the name of a petty and narrow-minded nationalism would be a tragic waste of all we have achieved — leaving us weaker, smaller and poorer.
Of course, all states have a naturally limited lifespan. As the poet Thomas Gray once put it: 'The paths of glory lead only to the grave.'
But I don't believe our path is leading anywhere near that fate. Our current pangs are merely the twinges of a mid-life crisis.
Since the alternative is too depressing to contemplate, there simply must be life in the British lion yet.
