  • Jaggubhai Movie Download, Jaggubhai Movie Free Download

    The film Jaggubhai has Sarath Kumar and Shriya in lead roles. The movie is produced by Radhika Sarath Kumar. You can find a lot of sites illegally having an option to download the full movie. The movie which is available online has no background music and it runs for two hours. It is clear that the movie uploaded online is pirated before re-recording and final mixing.
    You can find the power of social networking, blogging and forum of Tamil movie fans. There are a lot of sites which are against the cyber laws which allows people to download ‘Jaggubai’ full length movie. Many sites have removed the link and the movie. But still you can find active domains.

    We kindly request our Filmmy readers not to get into any illegal download of the movie as it is the hard labor of many workers in the filmdom.
    Jaggubhai is sent to Australia on an important mission to deal with anti social elements there. In Australia, Jaggubai meets Meena (Srisha) and they both fall in love with each other. Jaggubai fails in his mission for which he came to Australia and the brief romance with Meena also ends abruptly. Jaggubai returns to India as a dejected officer failing in his official duty and in personal life.

    But fate had something in store for him. Twenty years later he gets a call from Australia stating that Meena is dead and has left him a will. He reaches Australia and is shocked to know that the brief encounter with Meena had resulted in a daughter ‘Nikki’ (Shriya Saran), now a teenager. Jaggubai realises that has left behind his daughter and her wish that Jaggubhai should protect her.

    Nikki thinks that he is mother’s friend and tries to act cranky. Threat comes in the form of some anti social elements who want to eliminate Nikki. These thugs were the same ones who had tricked Jaggubai some 20 years earlier. Now, it is Jaggubai’s duty to save his only daughter and settles old scores with the thugs. He now meets his former colleague Mani (Goundamani). With his help he overcomes the crisis and eventually finds out why Meena left him and the reason for bringing him back into his daughter’s life.

  • Casey Johnson Funeral

    A spokesman for the Johnson Family has released a statement detailing preliminary funeral arrangements for late heiress Casey Johnson. Casey was the great-granddaughter of Robert Wood Johnson Jr., who built the Johnson & Johnson company into a $171.5 billion empire. The troubled mother of one was found dead in her West Hollywood home by a housekeeper early Monday. She was 30.

    “The Johnson family wishes to thank everyone who has expressed condolences and support during this trying time. Your thoughts and prayers are deeply appreciated,” family spokesman Jesse Derris told The Insider Tuesday evening.


    “The family has arranged for Casey to be flown back East to her final resting place. There will be a private funeral service later this week for the immediate family. The family asks for a measure of privacy over the next several days as they mourn their loss. No other information will be released at this time.”

    In lieu of flowers, the phamaceutical family asks that supporters consider making a contribution to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Casey was diagnosed with the disease as a child and struggled to manage disease-induced comas into adulthood.

    “For the many who have asked what they can do to honor Casey’s memory, we ask simply that you consider making a donation to the Casey Johnson Memorial at the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International (www.jdrf.org). Casey struggled throughout her life fighting this disease, and she would want to see all of us continue that fight on her behalf.”

    Authorities in Los Angeles completed an autopsy on Johnson this afternoon. he cause of death has been deferred pending further tests that include toxicology tests and microscopic studies, which could take six to eight weeks to complete. Authorities found no evidence of trauma to the body.


  • Dunce’s corner ‘banned in schools over human rights fears’

    Who would have children these days? I just saw them discussing this on the repeat of Loose Women but then noticed it’s a report by the Daily Mail so I’m sure you’ll all just love it. 😐

    Quote:

    Dunce’s corner ‘banned in schools over human rights fears’

    Punishing disruptive children by making them stand in ‘dunce’s corner’ has been outlawed in some areas because of human rights concerns, it is reported.

    The tactic, used as a last resort by teachers for decades, has been prohibited in some local authority areas.

    It is thought concerns have been expressed that the practice of using ‘dunce’s corner’ could breach a child’s human rights.

    Teachers have instead been told to make pupils explain to the class why they are being disruptive.

    A report in the Daily Mail said has learned that some primary and secondary schools in Norfolk, Lincolnshire, Devon, Yorkshire, Lancashire, Oxfordshire, Sussex and Gwent in South Wales, have prohibited the punishment.

    John Bangs, head of education at the National Union of Teachers, told the newspaper: “As a punishment, standing a child in the corner is not particularly effective.

    “There are some health and safety issues and I’ve heard of some instances where people are concerned about human rights, but not often.

    “The current method is to get the child to explain why they are disrupting the class to try to shame them into behaving. If this fails they could be sent to an exclusion classroom or the head teacher. Standing children in the corner is just not used widely any more.”

  • Flash Player 10.1 demoed again on Snapdragon

    To commemorate the launch of the HTC Nexus One Adobe published this video showing the upcoming Flash Player 10.1 for Mobile, which will be coming to Android, webOS and of course Windows Mobile, in action.

    The software was intended to be released at the end of last year, but of course has not been, but does appear pretty close to production.

    Hopefully we will soon see the wide release, which should allow many streaming media services that use flash to work reliably even on mobile devices.

  • Sony Fits Transfer Jet, 1080/60i HD Video Recording Into Ultra-Slim DSC-TX7 Point & Shoot


    The ultra-slim point and shoot camera category has evolved significantly as Sony announced during CES 2010 that they are bringing the new silver, blue and red DSC-TX7 to the market in February. This stylish $400 ultra slim camera features a 10MP “Exmor R” CMOS sensor, a large 3.5” touchscreen (921K) LCD and 4x optical zoom with wide angle 25mm lens. The added Optical Steady Shot image stabilization system prevents blur from camera shaking.

    A new attractive feature this year being integrated into this Cyber-shot camera include the ability to record HD video (AVCHD) 1920 x 1080 at 60i and HDMI output capabilities. This makes it very easy to record and share HD video with your friends and family. Sony has also integrated Transfer Jet wireless technology into the camera, which allows you to send (at 560mbps) pictures and movies from your Cyber-shot camera to your Transfer Jet receiver, such as a computer. This allows for people to not worry about taking out the memory card or looking for the USB cord when they want to get the pictures off their camera.

    Other thoughtful prerequisites found in the TX7 and other Sony cameras include iAuto, which detects up to eight scenes and optimizes camera settings, and Smile Shutter. It will also be compatible with the Party-shot (model IPT-DS1) automatic photographer.

  • Site Suspends Comments For ‘Cooling Off Period’

    Via Romenesko we learn of local Illinois news site Pantagraph.com that has suspended comments on local news stories as a “cooling off period” after it felt that the comments had become too uncivil. I’m wondering how this will actually help. This is the internet that we’re talking about here, and once the comments are turned back on, I would imagine that they’ll quickly return to the same level of civility (or lack thereof) pretty quickly. If you want to create more civil commenting policies, a “time out” doesn’t do that. Putting in place better incentives does.

  • New Consumer Site Provides Consumer Options to Obtain Fair and Ethical Credit Cards

    A new consumer Web site Credit Card Connection has debuted just in time to provide American consumers alternative credit card options in retaliation against the unfair and unethical practices recently implemented by major bank card issuers.

    Ondine Irving, owner of Card Analysis Solutions, a national credit union consultancy firm, is the driving force in creating this website. Her foresight and consumer advocacy has garnered attention from national personal financial expert, Suze Orman.

    Ms. Orman has most recently placed creditcardconnection.org on her popular Web site, suzeorman.com.

    This new consumer site was also recently featured on an episode of Larry King Live.

    “This is a tremendous time for consumers to move their credit cards away from banks. Bank issuers have clearly mistreated their credit card holders in 2009 and have blamed it on everything from the economy to the Credit Card Act of 2009,” Irving said.

    “When card programs falter, there is a balance between managing expenses and income. Banks have chosen to maximize the income side of the equation by increasing fees and rates to the consumer, rather than reducing their own expenses.

    Credit Unions have always treated their cardholders with fairness and maintained an equal balance of card program income and expenses, without having the cardholder be the scapegoat”.

    Consumers enter their ZIP code and a listing of credit unions with fair and ethical credit card programs will appear.

    Each credit union’s credit card program is rated on a five star rating system: interest rates not to exceed 18%, no balance transfer fees, no penalty pricing, no annual fees and late fees which will never exceed $25.

    Consumers can choose the credit union and card program which best suits their own card usage needs. Credit Unions must sign up to be listed and do not pay a fee for inclusion on the site.

    About Card Analysis Solutions

    Card Analysis Solutions was created in 2003 to assist credit unions in understanding the perceived complexities of card-program management.

    Owner/founder Ondine Irving provides credit unions with objective and independent information about the financial, operational, and marketing aspects of credit card portfolio performance. It is Card Analysis Solutions’ mission to help credit unions in developing fair and ethical credit card programs for their members.

  • Leave Virginia Alone: On Open-source and Proprietary Threats

    While it used to be that the term “open source” conjured up socially lost Linux cave-dwellers, in recent years, open source has gone decidedly mainstream. Even if you don’t partake in dedicated offerings such as Firefox, Chrome, Adium or Android, there are probably open-source components in much of the software that you do use. But while the number of open source-focused startups is on the rise, proprietary software players are also increasingly acquiring open-source companies, and in the process, altering the courses of important platforms and applications. These aren’t necessarily good trends.

    Matt Asay recently predicted that this year would usher in lots of acquisitions of small cloud computing players by big software companies, specifically citing open-source players such as Cloudera (which supports the ever more popular Hadoop, an open-source query platform) as potential targets. Meanwhile big-ticket acquisitions of open source-focused companies have proliferated, as evidenced by Oracle’s (stalled) acquisition of Sun Microsystems, VMware’s SpringSource buy and its rumored purchase of Zimbra, among others. (The Zimbra acquisition may be confirmed this week, according to numerous reliable sources.)

    One has to ask, though, how healthy it is for increasingly important open-source platforms and applications to come under the wing of huge, proprietary software companies. Probably the best example to cite on that topic is the ongoing car crash that is Oracle’s proposed acquisition of Sun Microsystems. Sun, of course, is an almost entirely open source-focused company, and the European Commission has spent nearly a year considering whether to allow Oracle to acquire it. In the meantime, Sun customers have flocked to competitors.

    There are concerns that Oracle may shut down Sun’s MySQL open-source database division, as it competes with some of Oracle’s proprietary products. MySQL founder Monty Widenius has been aggressively echoing such concerns, and has a blog at HelpMySQL.org petitioning for support. In light of some of Sun’s other open-source offerings, and overlap with Oracle’s products, Oracle may in fact likely let several projects linger.

    Even Google’s involvement with its own open-source Android operating system could inhibit free development around it going forward. For Google, one of the big benefits that all Android phones bring is steering users into the company’s lucrative search-and-ad ecosystem. With the release of today’s Nexus One Android-based phone — which takes the company’s commercial stake in Android handsets to two (Droid being the first) — could Android itself be increasingly influenced by Google’s proprietary interests? Just as Microsoft leverages Windows for the benefit of its own applications, Google could do the same with Android. The Open Android Alliance is already developing versions of Android devoid of Google applications due to these types of concerns.

    Sun Micrososytems is one of only three big, U.S. public companies focused almost entirely on open source. If it gets swallowed up, that will leave just Red Hat and Novell. Open-source pundits are predicting that small, promising open-source players will be snapped up by bigger fish this year. And Google’s relationship to Android gets ever murkier as it sinks its commercial hooks deeper into the platform, billing its own offerings as superphones relative to other Android phones.

    In his post “What Rankles in Open Source Buyouts,” Dana Blankenhorn takes the position of an enthusiastic open-source community member woefully witnessing the sale of an open-source project to a big software company when he addresses the project’s leaders, imploring: “There is such a thing as moral equity. What was us is now you, and you sold out — why shouldn’t I be offended, and why should I trust anyone like you again?” Indeed, for many of the suddenly flourishing open-source platforms and applications out there, independence and the unbeaten path may lead to the brightest possible community-driven future.

  • Saab owners gather in wintery Detroit, urge GM to sell brand

    Sell Saab Rally in Detroit – Click above for high-res gallery

    Popular wisdom would hold that about the only people willing to show up in sub-zero, slate-gray Detroit for a last-minute rally to advocate for Saab’s sale would be stereotypical brand diehards – grizzled old-timers with air-cooled two-strokes and elderly three-doors, not folks piloting General Motors-era models. Interestingly, those in attendance at today’s “Sell Saab/Save Saab” demonstration ranged broadly in age from their early twenties on through retirement age, and with the exception of a couple of 1980s 900 models, most of the Saabs were remarkably contemporary (although a good portion of those who showed up professed to owning numerous classic examples at home).

    To be fair, we turned up to the meeting point in the shadow of GM’s Renaissance Center headquarters this afternoon not expecting a big turnout of either cars or press, as the event was organized just a couple of days earlier by Ryan Enge of SaabHistory.com – and the weather wasn’t exactly hospitable, either. As it turns out, we were pleasantly surprised to see a rather small but vibrant group of both. Over a couple of hours, we counted around 50 demonstrators in about 30 Saabs (full disclosure: one of which was AB’s own 2001 9-3 Viggen convertible), with devotees venturing in from as far away as Maine, Iowa and Wisconsin, along with plenty of print, radio and television media – both local and international – in attendance. As a demonstration for a brand, the atmosphere was more one of conviviality than consternation and bitterness, a gathering of first-time friends more than an acrimonious protest.

    Make the jump for more of the story and check out our high-res gallery below.

  • Oregon Scientific Wireless Appliance Manager Measures How Much Juice You Lose [Energy]

    The Oregon Scientific Wireless Appliance Manager consists of two devices: a wireless transmitter that sits between an appliances plug and an outlet, and a display unit that then tells you just how much juice it’s using.

    The simple device comes in two flavors: the basic Wireless Appliance Manager, which handles one appliance, and the Advanced Wireless Appliance Manager, for the truly obsessive, which can handle up to 8 transmitters at once.

    The single-appliance version will run you $60, while the fancy version will run you $80 (plus more for extra transmitters, one assumes). [Oregon Scientific]







  • Castelo, Centro do Rio – A joia art déco sobre o morro desmontado

    O Castelo é uma localidade no Centro do Rio, assim como a Cinelândia, a Lapa, o Passeio. Só que ao contrário desses outros, não existe mais uma referência física a essa localidade, permanecendo na memória coletiva o que foi fruto de uma grande reforma urbana. Outros casos ocorrem no Rio, como a Praça XI e o Mangue.

    Durante a administraçao de Carlos Sampaio, concretizou-se um ideal antigo de reforma urbana do Distrito Federal: o desmonte do Morro do Castelo.

    Tal morro tratava-se de uma das colinas históricas, a partir de onde a cidade havia sido colonizada durante o século XVI — enchentes sempre foram comuns no Rio devido a clima e topografia, o que fazia dos morros locais perfeitos para estabelecimento de habitações e órgãos públicos.

    Desde a época de D. João VI, no entanto, já se cogitava demolir o berço da cidade, por justificativas que iam do higienismo a teorias como a que dizia que a circulação do ar era primordial para a erradicação de doenças (daí a suposta necessidade dos bulevares). E o Morro do Castelo era considerado uma barreira natural aos ventos.


    (ABREU, Maurício de A. "Evolução Urbana do Rio de Janeiro")

    Além disso, com os movimentos de expansão da cidade, o morro foi cada vez mais perdendo status, e sendo ocupado por cortiços e habitações e negócios populares diversos. Por isso, o plano de Pereira Passos para aquele obstáculo, não realizado em seu tempo, cumpriu seu fim para a realização das comemorações do centenário da Independência, e a exposição internacional correspondente.


    (ABREU, Maurício de A. "Evolução Urbana do Rio de Janeiro")

    Foram construídos pavilhões, alguns dos quais ainda podem ser vistos (Museu da Imagem e do Som, Academia Brasileira de Letras e parte do Museu Histórico Nacional). Posteriormente, o Plano Agache criava uma solução monumental para os aterros resultantes do desmonte, o que foi realizado em parte. Os antigos bairros do Castelo e da Misericórdia, extintos sob o morro, dariam lugar a uma esplanada que deveria ser o centro de negócios do Distrito Federal.

    Getúlio Vargas deu prosseguimento à ocupação da chamada Esplanada do Castelo, com o Ministério da Fazenda, o Ministério do Trabalho, monumentais, e o Ministério da Educação e Saúde, próximo a eles.

    A questão toda é: o desmonte foi lamentável, e hoje seria criminoso. Apesar da decadência conjuntural, o patrimônio histórico ali contido era incalculável (e isso sem nem se falar do lendário tesouro do jesuítas, supostamente enterrado sob o morro), e a cidade perdeu seu coração, sua origem.

    Entretanto, daquela ruína arrasadora surgiu uma das partes mais fascinantes do Rio de Janeiro, um dos meus lugares preferidos aqui. Talvez junto a Copacabana e Flamengo, o Castelo contenha a maior parte do art déco da cidade. Um art déco tropical, com venezianas Copacabana e linhas suaves.

    Além disso, há ainda excelentes exemplares do início do Modernismo, e (corrijam-me os arquitetos) alguns exemplares híbridos, entre as duas escolas — prédios escalonados com portões de ferro, mas também pilotis. Além, claro, dos coloniais.

    Enfim, se você chegou até aqui, eu fico lisonjeado. Caso queira saber mais do Morro do Castelo, sugiro o seguinte link, que emula um roteiro turístico pelo Rio Antigo: http://www.hcgallery.com.br/cidade20.htm

    Enfim, o paradoxo é: arrasaram o Castelo. Mas o resultado é fantástico.

    Não segui exatamente as especificações do antigo Morro ou da Esplanada do Castelo (atual Avenida Presidente Antônio Carlos), mas um conjunto delimitado pela Rua São José, Rua México, Avenida Beira-Mar, Avenida General Justo e Perimetral.

    Espero que gostem, sobretudo aqueles que ainda não conhecem o Castelo.

  • Perugia Park

    Overly sympathetic for hometown girl

    Editor, The Times:

    In all fairness, I do not believe the following statement made in [“A trying time to name a park after Perugia,” Opinion, Jan. 5] is justified: “Yet all of that does not smooth legitimately bad feelings about the trial of Knox, who is either innocent or did not get a fair trial that proved her guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.”

    We are all sympathetic to a hometown girl who ran up against the law during her studies abroad. But her origins in Seattle do not change the fact that a jury of her peers heard all the evidence and concluded “beyond a reasonable doubt” that she should be held responsible for her roommate’s death. We all wish her good fortune in her legal appeals but justice is not served well by misplaced hometown bias in your publication.

    — Joe Dray, Edmonds

    Rename is a disappointment

    The flap over Perugia Park’s name reminds me of a few years ago when many of our brighter wits wanted to rename French fries to Freedom fries. Isn’t this just about the same? I thought Seattle was a city of intelligent, caring people. Now I find out that we like jumping on the bandwagon just like everyone else. What a disappointment!

    — Mark Miller, Seattle

    Maybe Perugia should reject Seattle as sister city

    I totally agree with Mike James, the president of the Seattle-Perugia Sister City Association, and Mayor Boccali of Perugia. It is totally ridiculous to let the outcome of a criminal trial — just because the crime took place in Perugia — influence the decision to name a park in Seattle.

    Following this reasoning maybe Perugia should reject Seattle as a sister city for the injuring of 30 Italian prisoners of war by American servicemen at Fort Lawton in August of 1944 and the death of Pvt. Guglielmo Olivotto.

    — Rod McNae, Freeland

    Name it after the deceased

    Name it Meredith Kercher Park. Surely we should give serious consideration to naming the park after the unfortunate young woman who lost her life in Perugia. Just think how Meredith Kercher’s family and loved ones would be overwhelmed with gratitude and appreciation by our unselfish act of naming the new park in her memory. The Kerchers would recognize the great sacrifice the people of Seattle made in honoring Meredith.

    I am sure that the Kerchers would be so overwhelmed and pleased with this magnanimous gesture on our part that they would immediately throw their support behind [Seattle Preparatory School president] Kent Hickey’s Amanda Knox Legal Defense Fund. To seal the deal Hickey could promise the Kerchers that a portion of the funds collected would be used to pay off Knox’s share of the $9 million in civil damages issued to her family by the misguided Italian court.

    Let us not forget that Knox is where she is because Meredith is no longer with us.

    — Stephen Finn, Seattle

    Seattle Prep and Knox

    I am not sure why Nicole Brodeur thinks she has to pontificate about something a private organization is doing [“Prep’s Misguided Lesson,” NWTuesday, Jan. 5]. I think she has chosen the wrong forum. I certainly agree that she has every right and privilege to have and share her opinions, but why this organization on this issue?

    I think it would have been more appropriate for her to express her opinions about Amanda Knox in relation to the city park naming decision. Does she have an ax to grind about Seattle Prep? I suggest that Nicole address public concerns in this forum and share her private concerns about a private organization in another.

    — Ken Schuh, Spokane

    Seattle Prep does help other communities

    Nicole Brodeur criticizes Seattle Prep’s support for alumna Amanda Knox and asks: “Why not raise money for a food bank?” It’s not either/or.

    Seattle Prep regularly collects money and food for food banks, but it does even better: It teaches all students in the ways of Jesus’ mandate to help the poor.

    All sophomores at the school serve brothers and sisters in our community in evening and daytime settings as part of a retreat. All juniors enter into yearlong relationships serving the marginalized among us with the explicit intent that the relationship will be ongoing after the assignment is finished.

    These experiences are transformative for students and have ripple effects in families and communities. Yes, the Seattle Prep community is reaching out to Amanda Knox’s family and this outreach is making headlines. But it is only one among hundreds of outreach efforts during the school year.

    — Liz Tidyman, Bellevue
