Marine's punishment scaled back in urination case
WASHINGTON A Marine general who decided to court-martial a Marine for urinating on the bodies of dead Taliban fighters and posing for pictures with them in Afghanistan will scale back the punishment announced Thursday by a military judge.
Staff Sgt. Joseph W. Chamblin's case stems from the disclosure in January of a video showing four Marines urinating on the bodies of three dead men in July 2011.}
As CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reported then, the Marines in the video were members of a 1,000-man battalion that had completed a combat tour in Afghanistan and returned to Camp Lejuene, N.C., where they apparently started showing the video around as a war trophy.
A Marine spokesman, Col. Sean Gibson, said Lt. Gen. Richard Mills had agreed before the court-martial was held Wednesday that the maximum sentence he would approve against Chamblin is the forfeiture of $500 in pay for one month and reduction in rank to sergeant.
The judge, who was not aware of the pre-trial agreement, had initially announced a harsher sentence: 30 days confinement, 60 days restriction, forfeiture of $500 per month in pay for six months, a fine of $2,000 and a reduction in rank to lance corporal, which is two pay grades below sergeant.
Gibson said Mills will limit the punishments to those he set before the trial. Mills is the head of Marine Corps Combat Development Command.
The Marine Corps said Chamblin pleaded guilty before the military judge at Camp Lejeune. He admitted to wrongful desecration, failure to properly supervise junior Marines and posing for photos with battlefield casualties.
Chamblin is assigned to 3rd Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment at Camp Lejeune.
In September, the Marines announced that Chamblin and Staff Sgt. Edward W. Deptola would be court-martialed. Deptola's case is pending.

Fallon: Christie knew about parody
Comedian Jimmy Fallon says he gave New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie a heads-up about his parody with Bruce Springsteen last week mocking the bridge scandal that continues to plague the Republican governor.
"I let Chris Christie know we were doing it. And I said, 'The silver lining is Bruce Springsteen says your name,'" Fallon said Sunday at the Television Critics Association press tour, as quoted by The Chicago Tribune.
Story Continued Below
"I haven't heard back yet," Fallon added.
Fallon, who is currently hosting NBC's "Late Night" before he takes "The Tonight Show" from Jay Leno in February, appeared alongside Springsteen last Tuesday to sing a parody of the musician's hit "Born to Run" with lyrics poking fun at the controversial lane closures from September that opponents claim were for political retribution.
( Earlier on POLITICO: Springsteen, Fallon parody Christie)
"In the day we sweated out on the streets, stuck in traffic on the GWB. // They shut down the tollbooths of glory 'cuz we didn't endorse Christie," the two sang in full, '80s-era Springsteen costumes.
Christie, who has been a vocal fan of Springsteen, apparently could not watch the bit, according to a separate story in The New York Times.
The Republican governor told Yahoo in an interview published Monday that he didn't watch the parody, but that he wasn't angry about it and got a direct message from Fallon on Twitter saying it was all in good fun.
The New Jersey governor has appeared on Fallon's show himself and has taken part in the recurring skit "Slow Jam the News."

Carrie (2013 - Blu-ray)
I'll admit that I was very skeptical when I heard of the plans for a remake of Carrie. Part of my trepidation stemmed from weariness with the current glut of mostly unnecessary remakes, and part was due to my deep and abiding love for Brian De Palma's original film. The good news is that while Kimberly Peirce's remake is a worthy effort, the bad news is it lacks the Grand Guignol tone and iconic imagery that made the original so memorable.
The film opens with Carrie's mother, the off-her-rocker Margaret White (Julianne Moore in full-tilt crazy mode) giving birth all alone in her house, the already difficult event made more so by the fact that she seems to be in a great deal of denial about what's going on, declaring the child to be a "cancer" until it actually emerges from her body. Margaret seems a bit conflicted about the blessed event; at first she's ready to kill the baby with scissors, then she relents and cradles the child.
Jump forward 16 years and Carrie White (Chloe-Grace Moretz) is an awkward and shy teen. Home-schooled for much of her childhood, she's palpably ill-at-ease at her school, and never more so than in gym class (we later learn that Margaret considers a sleeveless shirt to be appallingly immodest, so you can imagine how Carrie feels at having to wear a bathing suit and play water polo, let alone take a shower in a communal locker room). Things get much worse when Carrie hits the showers after gym and has the much-belated and completely unexpected arrival of her first menstrual period. While a terrified Carrie, who thinks she's bleeding to death, begs for help and is tormented by her classmates, it's soon clear that the arrival of womanhood means that Carrie also now has telekinetic powers.
One of the girls, Sue, feels remorse for her treatment of Carrie and, to make amends, talks her boyfriend Tommy into taking Carrie to the prom. Meanwhile, Mean Girl Extraordinaire Chris, who's already posted a cell phone video she took of Carrie's humiliation to YouTube, now plans an appalling prank. Meanwhile, Carrie is learning to use her powers and stand up to her mother, who sees this as proof that her daughter is a child of the devil. None of this will end well.
Peirce's film is more faithful to De Palma's effort than to King's original novel, interestingly enough. Many of the scenes and moments in the original film are re-created. The changes primarily are of tone and subtext. De Palma's film was a revenge fantasy, while Peirce's seems to be more about empowerment – at times the tone is almost that of a superhero origin story. Peirce also makes Carrie a rather more sympathetic character – her use of her powers at the prom is far less apocalyptic than in De Palma's film (which left barely a student alive). Peirce has Carrie target her wrath specifically at her tormentors; one wonders if this was a reaction to setting the film in the post-Columbine era. It makes Carrie a more sympathetic character, but it also lessens the cathartic value of the film for those who endured our share of bullying and teasing at school.
One aspect of the story that benefits from the update is the use of technology to deepen Carrie's humiliation. A story that once would have spread by word-of-mouth and taken time to be known to all is now posted on the internet for the whole world to see. Another nice touch was Carrie's unfamiliarity with the computer, complete with hunt-and-peck typing. The backstory that Carrie had been homeschooled by her whackaloon mother for much of her childhood not only makes it plausible that she would be ignorant about menstruation and other matters, but exacerbates the awkwardness she feels in every social situation.
Unfortunately, the film drops the ball in its exploration of Carrie's relationship with her mother. There is a nice bit at the beginning when the principal tells Carrie he's called her mother to come pick her up, and Carrie looks terrified. Yet beyond that we don't get the sense of the love-hate relationship that mother and daughter surely must share, and Carrie's ability to stand up to her mother feels like a victory too easily won.
The acting is solid across the board, particularly Judy Greer as the sympathetic gym coach. Ansel Elgort makes Tommy a bit too much of a well-meaning lunkhead at first, but we soon see that he's a genuinely nice guy. As for Moretz, she has the thankless job of taking an iconic role and performance and making it her own. She acquits herself very well – take note of the water polo scene, when without seeing her face, we instantly know which girl is Carrie, by her posture and body language. Moretz's performance when using her powers is more physical than Sissy Spacek's was; Spacek seemed to be a conduit for forces of wrath, while Moretz plays it as seizing power for the first time in her life. (Incidentally, I've seen many complaints that Moretz is "too pretty" to be a social outcast. Not every person who feels like an outsider is ugly as sin. Trust me, I know.)
Carrie comes to Blu-ray via Fox/MGM presented in a 2.35:1 transfer that is bright, very colorful, and sharp as all get out. The image packs tons of detail, and, as one would probably expect from a recent release, looks very nice in its home video incarnation. The 5.1 DTS HD soundtrack is also impressive, and fills the room with all sorts of creepy audio goodness, room shaking bass, and clear dialogue.
Bonuses includes a fairly straightforward feature commentary with director, Kimberly Pierce, as well as an assortment of deleted/alternate scenes (with optional commentary), and four featurettes that , at first glance, looks to be an embarrassment of riches but only add up to around an hour's worth of extra material.
Rounding out the extras is a collection of trailers for other MGM/Fox releases.
All of the special features are presented in HD.
Carrie is a good film, and a worthy effort. It will never replace the original for me, but given today's audiences and their disdain for anything the least bit "dated" (and De Palma's film is very much a product of its time), it's a good thing that the story was made to appeal to a new generation.

I know I said I was going to post more frequently, but I got derailed by an ear infection (Han Solo) and a cold (me)
, plus, I'm lazy. But now we're all better, except that I'm still lazy, so let's go to Egypt, shall we? Yes, let's. Warning: Photo HEAVY.
After 2 full days at sea, just relaxing, we arrived at the port of Alexandria, early in the morning. Since we were ported for 2 days, we did an overnight excursion, and got to stay at a swanky five star hotel in Giza (more on that later). The morning was HOT and we were grateful to get on the air conditioned bus! I will tell you that this was a mere 2 weeks after the protesting at the American Embassy in Egypt (in response to that idiotic film), and RC wasn't sure we'd be porting at all. We were watching carefully every day on the RC website, because they canceled Egypt on the cruise that ran the week before us. Indy was practically holding his breath. Fortunately, it was deemed safe, and to Alexandria we went.
Alexandria was...dirty. It honestly looked like it had been bombed in many places. I was more than a bit perplexed, but one of our super awesome tour guides, Emmy, said that the area around the docks was not the best, and that we would see much more beautiful areas later as we got into Giza and Cairo. Um, we have a different definition of beautiful, let me tell you. Some of these first photos are blurry because we were on a moving bus, but they'll give you a sense of the area. It was early morning, so none of the shops were open, and as a consequence, they all looked boarded up.
Does McDonald's deliver in Egypt??? I forgot to ask the tour guides.
Traffic! Oh, heavens, the traffic. It was completely insane. This is shortly after we got on their version of the highway (I don't know what they would call it, so we'll stick to highway). There weren't just cars and trucks on the road. There were donkey carts, dromedaries (not camels, but more on that later), bicycles and other dubiously wheeled "vehicles," along with the occasional random pedestrian, who decided to cross the highway.
Hey look! A truck load of people driving at least 50mph. That cannot be safe! At one point there was a semi loaded with bricks that reached a little higher than the middle of our bus windows and there were about 10-15 people laying across the bricks while the truck trundled down the road. Sadly, I did not get a photo of that.
Aww, there are my babies! As you can see, Indy is geared up and ready to excavate.
I took this just as we came around the corner and the Pyramids of Giza came into view. As soon as I snapped this, his bolted straight up and was practically salivating, he was so excited. I have to say, it was a bit awe inspiring to see them looming off in the distance.
Gigi, Indy, me and Han Solo ON A PYRAMID!
After we climbed the pyramid (IIRC, it's the one to the far left in the photo below), we drove around to the other side. While we generally only see 3 pyramids and the Sphinx in photos and whatnot, there are actually the 3 larger pyramids (the largest one built for Khufu, also known as Cheops, around 2650BC), and 6 smaller ones, for a total of 9. There may be more tombs in the area that were just under a mastaba (a flat, raised slab), or whose pyramid simply crumbled.
Look at my little Indiana Jones!
Is this not an amazing photo? I have always wanted to see the pyramids, but to be honest, I never thought it would happen. It was completely surreal.
And now on to the exciting ride! We all rode dromedaries! Nope, not camels. Camels have 2 humps, dromedaries only have one. Dromedaries are a kind of camel, but people in the Middle East and North Africa call one up camels and two hump dromedaries. And now you know. Han Solo emphatically did NOT like it at first. He cried and cried, but once we were up and moving, he decided it wasn't so bad, and eventually started laughing and waving to people as we passed. Indy was a bit...petrified, as you can probably tell from the death grip he has on the pommel. After a while though, he relaxed. A little. Gigi offered to ride with him, but he said he needed to ride his own. I think he might have regretted it. :) He and I had actually been on a
There's Gigi! In her whole entire life, I'm pretty sure my mom never thought she'd be on a
We rode for about 30 minutes across the Giza plateau, we piled on the bus and drove to the Sphinx. Indy was practically jumping up and down on the bus waiting to get off. The Sphinx is believed to have been built by Khafra, the son of Khufu, in honor of his father around 2500BC. It was originally painted red! I did not know!
It was a long, freakishly hot walk from the bus to the point the photo below was taken, and we still had a good way to go before we actually got to the Sphinx. Gigi was not up for the walk down, so she opted to take Han Solo back to the air conditioned bus, while Indy and I soldiered on to get a better look.
This is as close as you can get. Indy was terribly upset that he couldn't touch it. :)
After the Sphinx we went shopping here. Indy got a cartouche with his (real) name on it in hieroglyphs. They made it while we waited. It was really cool to watch. He loves it and wears it everywhere.
We had lunch at a very posh hotel and then drove to Cairo to the Egyptian museum. To get there, we had to circle the famous Tahrir Square. There were no demonstrations or revolts, just green space with a monument in the middle, lots of garbage, and a traffic circle that would make Brits cringe. Indy was not really interested in this though. He had one thing on his mind: King Tut! Unfortunately, we were not allowed cameras in the museum, so you'll just have to use your imagination. I'll tell you though, whatever you're imagining, it was ten times better. :) The King Tut exhibit was of course the big draw and it was mind boggling. IIRC, not even 1/4 of what was found was on display, and what they had on display filled almost the entire top floor of the museum. The big thing Indy wanted to see was King Tut's mask. I was looking forward to that too. Emmy told us that there had been a theory that Tut had been murdered by a blow to the back of the head, as his skull is caved in and missing a chunk. This is not so. In his excitement and hurry to get to the mummy, Howard Carter, was not as careful as he should have been when removing the gold mask, and a chunk of Tut's skull came off with the mask. It is still there today. Emmy told us to look for it and it's there, clear as day, stuck to the inside back of the mask. Eww. As an aside, for any Downton Abbey fans, the Highclere Castle where the show is filmed is owned by the Earl of Carnarvon. The sponsor of the Tut excavation was the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, great-grandfather to the current Earl.
When we were done at the museum (really, we could have stayed forever), everyone but us went on a Nile River dinner cruise. We would have loved to do the cruise, but my sweet little Han Solo was just about done. He was so good all day and rarely got upset (except over the
And then there was the hotel. Ah, the hotel. Here's the thing about Egypt; it's dirty and loud. No, I take that back, it's not dirty. It's freaking filthy. I've never seen anything like it. I don't know if they don't have trash collection or what, but everyone just throws their rubbish on the street. Even in the wealthiest part of Cairo, where all the Embassies are, there was just rubbish everywhere. And poverty. Most of them are genuinely poor. I guess I have never given much thought to Egypt outside its monuments, and it was truly eye opening to actually be there. Now, I have read in books that romanticize the grand era of Egyptian archaeology and in them they always feature some grand hotel that is an oasis from the outside world. Let me tell you, those books were not lying. The hotel we ate lunch at earlier in the day was gated and absolutely gorgeous inside. It was nothing compared to the hotel where we actually.
The Mena House Hotel has a long and famous history. It was named after Menes (also called Narmar, or Memphis), who united the upper and lower kingdoms of Egypt and became the first pharaoh. Mena House sits at the base of the Great Pyramids, so the view was spectacular and has hosted many, many famous people, including Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle, Winston Churchill, Richard Nixon, Charlie Chaplin and Agatha Christie (and a whole bunch more). It was also the place where, in 1977, Egypt and Israel fist sat down to find a peace settlement. The Mena House meeting led to the Camp David Agreement.
Upon arrival, we once again had to go through a set of gates and suddenly, we were in a different Egypt. This Egypt was calm and quiet and manicured to perfection. We were quite literally surrounded by luxury. The staff practically jumped the moment we got out of the cab. They even had golf carts to drive us down to our rooms. We were given 2 connecting rooms that were lovely with hardwood flooring and dark cherry furniture, and had a garden view (sadly, no pyramid view, but still, couldn't complain) and were stocked with every amenity you could think of, including slippers and plush bath robes. The beds were so comfortable it was almost sinful.
This is the hotel lobby.
Indy and Gigi shared this room.
Han Solo and I got this one. Gigi was originally supposed to stay in here on her own, but the crib fit better in this room (because it only had a king size instead of 2 queen), so I was more than happy to take it off her hands. :)
The view from our balcony.
The main courtyard.
The view from the entrance. Not too bad, eh? This is now the wallpaper on my computer.

I love how this photo turned out. The shadow caught my attention and it was time to go, so I did a quick snap, not expecting to get something so lovely.
The chandelier hanging in the portico. It was gorgeous when it was lit up at night.

This item is not available for in-store pickup. Check store availability.
product highlights
Ornamental, beautiful and leafy, Rosette plants like the Amazon Sword have very short (almost unnoticeable) stem axes, with the leaf stalks uniting at the base of the plant. Rosette plants can be placed in aquariums alone or in groups and require moderate care to ensure healthy growth. Rosettes thrive in soft, mildly acidic water.
- Aquatic
- Maximum height: 20"
- Short-stemmed with pale- to dark-green leaves
- Tank placement: Background
- Water temperature: 72-78ð F
- Ideal aquarium size: Large
- Can grow fully or partially submersed
Note:Plant availability is seasonal. State and local regulations may vary. Pricing may vary by store location. PetSmart stores cannot match the price above for this item. Ask a store associate for details.
Things to remember:
Water temperature:Aquatic plants require a tropical community aquarium with water temperaturesranging between 72-78ú F (22-26ú C). Use an aquarium heater to maintainwater temperature.
Adding plants:Whether you're just starting your aquarium or introducing new plants into your tank, make sure to add only one or two plants at a time.
Lighting:Most tropical plants require sunlight each day, year round. The duration and consistency are essential for plants to thrive. Natural aquariums must be equipped with the means to provide 12 hours of simulated sunlight each day.
Plant fertilizer:Fertilizer should only be added according to the dosage instructions on the label, and only when needed (as in the case of a water change). Plants will grow best if fertilized moderately and regularly after water changes rather than given larger quantities of fertilizer on a less-regular basis.
Fish and plants:Small schooling fish are highly recommended for a natural planted aquarium; larger fish often uproot plants. The adultsize and eating habitats of a fish should always be taken into consideration.
Water changes:Test water weekly to assess water quality. It is recommended that 10% of youraquarium water be changed per week. At the very least, 25% of your aquariumwater should be changed per month. For optimal health, regular water changes not only prevent the undesirable accumulation of excess nutrients, but also remove excess nitrates and waste products of the fish and plants.
Aquarium placement:Place your aquarium in a low-traffic area, away from direct sunlight and drafts.
Planting your natural aquarium:
Foreground plants: Usually stay very short and help fill in the front part of the aquarium.
Middle ground plants: These plants grow anywhere form 4-10 inches tall.
Background plants: These are the fastest-growing and tallest plants.
Things to watch for:
- Poor growth
- Brown spots on leaves
- Plants appear weak, pale green to yellow, stems have few leaves
- Plants cease to grow and die off
- Stem plants have long internodes and small leaves
If you notice any of the signs described above, check your aquariumwater quality and consult an in-store Aquatics Specialist.

Leds & ACPI upgrade
To enable every led (the ones on the LCD too) the first thing needed is upgrading the acpi module with the one provided by acpi4asus.
It's really easy, follow these steps:
mkdir sources cvs -d:pserver:firstname.lastname@example.com:/cvsroot/acpi4asus login cvs -z3 -d:pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot/acpi4asus co -P acpi4asus cd acpi4asus/driver make make install
Now the new driver is installed. To use it and prevent udev from using the old one, edit your /etc/rc.conf and:
- Add to "MOD_BLACKLIST": asus_acpi
- Add to "MODULES": asus_laptop
Right now you can reboot or execute:
modprobe -r asus_acpi modprobe asus_laptop
Everything done!
You'll find the leds in "/sys/class/leds/".
To enable a led write "1" in the "brightness" file in the right directory. To disable a led write "0" in the "brightness" file in the right directory.
Try this:
echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/asus:gaming/brightness
Enjoy your leds!

There is also a separate kernel driver based on asusoled: Asus_OLED. It works without patching usbhid or removing asus_laptop. Just load it before the usbhid module gets loaded and it will work (< 2.6.23, in new kernels works out of a box). It contains a small Qt utility, which can be used as a drop-in replacement for asusoled, and has some additional features.

The Lapsus daemon
Lapsus is a set of programs created to help manage additional laptop features such as:
* All the LEDs (on/off) * LCD Backlight * Wireless radio switch * Bluetooth adapter switch * Alsa mixer (volume control, mute/unmute) * Synaptics touchpad (on/off) * Volume/Mute hotkeys * Touchpad hotkey * Backlight hotkey * LightSensor switch and sensitivity level (svn version only)
Prerequisites: acpi4asus from CVS (at least a version > 0.41). In your /etc/modprobe.d/ directory, blacklist the 'acpi_asus' module and add the 'asus_laptop' in the /etc/modules-load.d directory.
Install lapsus or lapsus-svn from the AUR archive. There will be certain complications. First, the berlios.de site on which the lapsus project was formerly hosted has closed down. Fortunately, the code is archived on Google Code. You will need to modify the PKGBUILD accordingly. If you succeed in building the code you will need to create a lapsus.service file, since the PKGBUILDS antedate the adoption of systemd.
Now start/enable the

LOS ANGELES (AP) — When Marian Gaborik first met up with the Los Angeles Kings in Winnipeg after a trade three months ago, center Mike Richards immediately took him out to breakfast. When the Kings returned home from that trip, Jeff Carter insisted Gaborik should move into his house instead of a hotel.
The Kings swiftly welcomed the itinerant Slovak goal-scorer into their tight-knit team, and Gaborik has rewarded them with a spectacular playoff performance all the way to the Stanley Cup finals — where he's running into several more players he knows quite well.
"It's great to be in the finals for the first time, but to play the Rangers makes it even more special," Gaborik said. "It might be a little weird at first, but after a while, it'll be all business."
Gaborik is in his first Stanley Cup finals in a 13-season career with four teams — including the New York Rangers, who signed him to a lucrative five-year deal in 2009 and traded him to Columbus last year.
After another trade to the West Coast and a dynamic playoff run with the Kings, Gaborik has the unlikely chance to add to his NHL-best 12 playoff goals against friend Henrik Lundqvist and the Blueshirts.
"Deep down inside, I assume this one is pretty special to him," Carter said. "He wants it really bad."
Gaborik landed in Los Angeles as a desperate fix for an offensively struggling team. While Gaborik is hardly the only person responsible, the lowest-scoring team to make the postseason is now the highest-scoring team in the playoffs.
Gaborik is the league's top postseason goal-scorer, and his 19 points are fourth in the league.
"Marian has done a lot for our confidence," Richards said. "When he came here, that just gave everybody a jolt of confidence in our offensive game. We're a good defensive team, but having Marian here makes us a lot better offensively."
Combined with his 16 points in 19 regular-season games after the trade, Gaborik has been even better than the Kings likely hoped when they gave up Matt Frattin and two draft picks for a veteran who will be an unrestricted free agent in a month when his original Rangers contract expires.
Los Angeles general manager Dean Lombardi coveted Gaborik's offensive abilities, but he also needed a scorer who could fit into the Kings' defensive identity under coach Darryl Sutter. Gaborik is no one-dimensional goal-scorer after his time under defensive guru Jacques Lemaire in Minnesota, and Lombardi praises him as a quality teammate.
"His acclimation, being part of this group, is such a tribute to the guys in that room that embraced him the right way, made him feel part of the family," Lombardi said. "By virtue of that, it impresses upon him, 'Hey, this is the way we play here. Certain things have to be done. Now go do what few players can.'"
Gaborik took over as Los Angeles' top-line left wing alongside star center Anze Kopitar, and the European stars created instant chemistry with right wings Justin Williams and Dustin Brown, who currently occupies the spot.
"When we made the trade, everybody knew he was going to go up there with Kopi," Brown said. "I think they developed something (right away). It's pretty easy to just jump in."
Gaborik's memories of New York are mostly fond. Although he had two 40-goal seasons, he scored only six goals in 25 postseason games over two years. The Rangers advanced to the Eastern Conference finals in 2012, but no further.
The Rangers' veterans realize the trouble that Gaborik can cause.
"He's got great speed and great offensive instincts," said Dan Girardi, half of New York's top defensive pairing. "We're going to have to get in his way, make him skate the long way and try to be as hard as we can on him. He's going to get his chances, but we have to make sure we limit them. He's been playing real solid for them, and he's going to be a big player in this series. Hopefully, we'll shut him down."
Rangers general manager Glen Sather still thinks fondly of Gaborik, praising him as a good teammate and a sublime talent. But Sather made the trade to bolster New York's depth, and all three players he acquired — Derick Brassard, Derek Dorsett and John Moore — have played important roles for the Rangers this spring.
The 32-year-old Gaborik has an unlikely opportunity to make the Rangers regret the deal, and he's earning himself even more money in free agency with every big playoff game. Gaborik, who missed the Sochi Olympics due to injury, said he loves playing and living in Los Angeles, but won't decide his future until the offseason.
"It's been a roller-coaster year," Gaborik said. "I want to take this opportunity and just take everything in."

Lambert and Jumper were remarkably consistent in their second-place A-division finish (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
Harvard Lands Four on Women's All-NE Team; Powers
CRANSTON, R.I.—The Harvard sailing team earned its second straight second-place finish at the New England Women's Championship over the weekend on Narragansett Bay, advancing directly to the national regatta.
Host Brown finished with 80 points, 16 fewer than Harvard, to earn the Reed Trophy as New England champion, but the Crimson edged third-place Boston College for the final direct trip to the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association Women's National Championship. The Eagles, Connecticut College, Tufts, Yale and Dartmouth advanced to the ICSA Women's National Semifinals. The semifinals and final will be held May 25-28 at Wisconsin.
Entering the final race in each division, BC looked to be in position to top Harvard, but the Crimson's A-division duo of Emily Lambert and Alexandra Jumper finished second in their final race, two spots ahead of the Eagles, while Liz Powers and Marie Appel placed eighth, beating BC by three positions.
Lambert and Jumper were the overall runners-up in the A division. They bookended the weekend's 10 races with second-place finishes and only once placed outside the top four in a 14-school field. Powers and Appel placed fifth in the B division, winning twice and totaling five top-three finishes.
Harvard also placed second in racing for the Priddy Trophy in the New England Freshman Championship. Ryan Byrne and Alma Lafler competed in a 14-team, 14-race, single-division regatta at Massachusetts Maritime. They had three wins and two second-place showings to total 73 points.
The Crimson also placed sixth in the Thompson Trophy at Coast Guard, seventh at the Boston University Trophy and fourth at the Northeastern Invitational.

This is a bit of a "trick question." Why? First, all that any attorney has to "sell" is his or her time and expertise. The question of how much time the case will take varies widely, depending on what type of traffic ticket charges are pending. In a few types of fairly serious traffic ticket cases (like driving on a suspended license, or possession of weed, or reckless driving for an underage driver), or possession of weed (marijuana possession) we can have our client complete certain other conditions and avoid the usual criminal record, in order to have a case sent to diversion, or have the traffic ticket be amended in order to avoid putting points on license. Take, for example, a company called the Ticket Clinic, which has offices throughout the region and boasts that it "may be your top attorney For a Speeding Ticket in Tampa, Florida bet for getting your traffic ticket dismissed."
You'll still have to pay a fine and an administrative fee, but you'll avoid having a point placed on your driving record, which in turn will keep your insurance costs from rising. A conviction for speeding can negatively affect you in many ways as follows. ven if you are eligible to take the defensive driving course for a traffic ticket dismissal speak with me an experienced traffic ticket today. That's not always the smart choice, though. Although no attorney can attest that their prior success can guarantee a similar outcome in future cases, it's important that you have some knowledge of their past performance. Let me take care of it for you and fight to get you a more favorable result.

But, if you fight your a law firm in Tampa, Florida on your own, that time is gone. It's a classic scenario: you're cruising along at 10 miles over the speed limit in an attempt to keep up with the rest of the cars on the road. You think you are simply going with the flow of traffic when you suddenly see flashing lights in your rear view mirror. You are entitled to take this class once a year to prevent points on your license.

Each state is allowed to categorize traffic offenses to trigger driver's license suspension at certain speed limits above the posted limit, which will result in total suspension or revocation of your driver's license in your home state.

In our pursuit of reasonably priced food, we have been to a lot of places that are, shall we say, off the beaten track.
None of them has ever been so far off the beaten track as Turner's Port of Call, a quirky little seasonal place on Grand Island.
It's not that Turner's is on an obscure street; in fact, it's on the well-traveled East River Road, right at the curve where the street bends away from the water. However, you might well drive past Turner's, which we did, because it doesn't have a sign, and the front of the building is obscured by the steep slope from the road. There's a mailbox with the name of the place on it and a neon beer sign in one of the upper windows. You can also see decorative pilings wrapped with rope for a nautical touch and a metal awning that covers the steep flight of cement steps leading down to the front door – more than a dozen. There's a handrail, but this place is not handicapped-accessible.
On a gorgeous sunny Sunday afternoon, a half-dozen people, mostly men, were seated at the bar, and every head swiveled as John, Pat, John and I entered. It's possible that the patrons were astonished that obvious newcomers had found the place.
The music was loud, so after grabbing menus from the bartender, we walked through a back room, which contains a large ping-pong table, and sat at a table on the porch. On the way, we passed a stern sign banning yelling, a policy started after neighbors' complaints.
There was no yelling when we were there. The porch has a fabulous view of the river with the South Grand Island Bridges in the distance. As we waited, we were entertained by many kinds of watercraft, swooping purple martins and screeching gulls.
The menu is compact, offering mostly fried or deep-fried food. There are chicken wings ($8.50 for 10), chicken nuggets ($5.75 for 10), black Angus burger ($5.50; cheeseburger $5.75), hot dog ($3.25), chicken fingers with curly fries ($9.75) or kielbasa with peppers and onions ($6.50). You can also order a half-dozen or so deep-fried finger foods, ranging from pizza logs ($7.25) to deep-fried mac and cheese bites ($6.25) Mostly, this is the kind of stuff you'd like to snack on while you enjoy a few cold beverages.
The place is proud of its New York strip steak sandwich, which presented a problem for us, because it costs $12.50, well over our upper limit. We solved that problem by ordering enough lower-priced food to give a fair account of the place and then throwing a steak sandwich in, too. When the food was served, we cut the steak sandwich into four pieces and each had one. It was, as promised, very good. The steak was thinnish but tender and delicious, with possibly a rub or grill seasoning on it. It was better than you'd expect from just a boneless strip steak and a grilled roll. So if you're splurging, check that out.
Now, on to our legit cheap eats choices. The cook grilled all the rolls, which added extra flavor. Each of our orders came with a crisped side of curly fries.
The black Angus cheeseburger, while not as beefy tasting as the steak, was a satisfying burger, with a slightly irregular shape that indicated it was more than a processed, frozen patty.
The hot dog, served with authentic grill marks, was perfectly cooked. The four medium-sized chicken fingers were served steaming hot, with a slightly crunchy breading, in a mound of curly fries.
The kielbasa started as a sizable section of a link, cut in half the long way and seared on the grill on both sides. While it had a few little bits of snappy stuff in it, it was very flavorful. The layer of peppers and onions on the sandwich was both plentiful and cooked until soft and nearly caramelized.
There's nothing fancy at Turner's Port of Call, and maybe nothing out of the ordinary except for that steak sandwich. But it's accessible to the water – we watched a boat dock below the patio at Turner's and people climb up the path from the water, go inside and order food. That and the view make this a spot worth checking out during our all-too-brief summer.

I know this isn't really a C question, but I need to know if there are any freely available utilities to allow me to disassemble a floppy boot sector - I can view it in debug by copying the first sector to memory, and then running unassemble, but I really need some way of printing the unassembled code out. All the disassemblers I can find seem "file" oriented instead of "sector" oriented.
I can see theres a lot of guys here who write their own boot loaders, so I am hoping someone can help.

Mordin - Old Blood part 1
Walkthrough - Mordin - Old Blood part 1
To begin this quest, meet up with Mordin, who will be in his laboratory off of the main part of C-Sec (where the galaxy map is located). There, you'll be able to speak with the awkward Salarian scientist at length. He'll bring up something about the genophage, and his part in helping mutate it (you can ask him to tell you the story again if you haven't already spoken with him). It appears that one of Mordin's old teammates from back in his spec-ops days, a fellow Salarian named Maelon, has been captured by the Krogan crime ring known as the Blood Pack. Worse yet, it appears he's being held on the Krogan world of Tuchanka. Agree to help him out, and you'll be traveling to that war-torn planet before very long.
To get there successfully, use the closest Mass Relay to reach a part of the galaxy known as the Krogan DMZ. Jumping from there will then bring you to the Aralakh system. All you have to do now is take the Normandy to the inner part of that solar system, where Tuchanka can be found orbiting its host star at an Earth-like distance. Read about the planet if you'd like (it has a fascinating history, actually), and then opt to land on the planet. You'll find yourself in a Tuchanka landing bay before very long, where we can go about our business from here. Please keep in mind that since this is our first visit to Tuchanka (if you're following this walkthrough), we'll explore it at length before going about the rest of our business.
Landing Platform: You can explore the small landing platform all you want, but you won't find much of interest if you do. There are a couple of Krogan characters you can "speak" with, but it'll really only be in terms of a short conversation, or listening in on another's conversation. However, when you descend the stairs towards the corridor leading away from the landing pad, a few Krogan tough guys will intercept you. After threatening you and your team, they'll tell you to go see their clan leader, who will let you know if your presence is wanted and accepted here or not. You don't have much of a choice but to oblige.
From the landing pad, head past the surly Krogans and walk down the staircase you encounter. To your right, you'll find a couple of Krogans and their pet Varren, as the two Krogans talk a little smack about their much-hated Salarian enemies. You'll be forced to continue leftward to proceed. You'll eventually come to a sealed door (it's at this time EDI contacts you to let you know that weak Krogan encryption has allowed her to see into the Krogans' files -- the doctor's friend is indeed being kept here). On the other side of the sealed door, you'll find a rubble path that leads back up to a fairly open area, where Krogan commerce is conducted.
Ratch's Wares: To the left of the rubble pile you use to get to the main area of this Tuchanka spaceport is a shop called Ratch's Wares. Unlike most of the other Krogan here on this planet, Ratch isn't an alien-hater. Credits are credits, and yours are just as good to him as anyone else's, Krogan or otherwise. Speak with Ratch a bit, and he'll tell you about what he sells (if you want to browse his wares, see the nearby kiosk). You can also play with his pet Varren, though you may want to keep that at a minimum. Ultimately, when Ratch gets on the subject of creatures called Pyjaks, keep him talking about them. It appears that these monkey-like creatures are causing a bit of a headache for Ratch, as well as other merchants, since they pillage their goods, eat all of their food, et cetera. If you offer to help Ratch out with his Pyjak problem, you'll receive the side quest entitled Tuchanka: Killing Pyjaks. More information on that side quest can be found in the aptly-named Side Quests section of this guide.

Here's the Mets' official release from today on the grievance settlement with Francisco Rodriguez:
The New York Mets today announced that the grievance filed by Francisco Rodriguez has been resolved. Rodriguez has instructed the Major League Baseball Players Association not to challenge the team's decision to withhold his salary for the remainder of the 2010 season. In return, the Mets have agreed they will not seek to convert Rodriguez's contract to a non-guaranteed contract, and will remove him from the Disqualified List. Rodriguez will forego approximately $3.1 million of 2010 salary as a result of this agreement.
Mets Chief Operating Officer Jeff Wilpon said: "We are pleased that Frankie Rodriguez has accepted responsibility for his actions and their consequences. We have been assured that he is taking steps to address the issues that led to the incident, and that those efforts will continue. We have also been assured that he will work hard both on and off the field to regain the trust of the organization, Mets fans and the community."
The Mets on August 17 placed Rodriguez on the Disqualified List following the season-ending injury to the thumb on his right pitching hand. The injury was a result of an altercation following the Mets August 11 game at Citi Field.
Rodriguez underwent successful surgery to repair the torn ligament and is expected to fully recover and be ready for Spring Training.
In light of the ongoing criminal process involving the August 11th incident, the Mets will have no further comment.

Marry Me Again
We are a production company ramping up to start a new reality TV show called "Marry Me Again". It's a very positive, inspirational show about strengthening marriage relationships and educating people on what it takes to build a strong marriage.
"Marry Me Again" will find creative ways of re-capturing that moment of proposal, without being sappy or melancholy.
We desire to use colors, fonts and imagery that conveys strength, companionship, faithfulness, and hope.
We are not moving away from an existing icon, but rather toward an original idea.
Our target audience will primarily be women between the ages of 25-55, who are married, have been married or planning to get married.
This reality TV show is intended to recapture the moment of affirmation a women feels when she is proposed to, and to communicate healthy and foundational marriage principles to the audience, over the backdrop of redoing a marriage proposal in a romantic and surprise way for the woman.
We want the viewers to feel that the program is current and relevant and speaks to them, through its pace, feel, colors, icons and marketing.
The tone is one of fun and surprise, with a thread of suspense about what might be concerning the candidates marriage.
In terms of color, pay respect to the modern sense of design and color that is fashionable at present. Consider new clothing range releases, popular home decoration colors and themes etc.
With regard to icons, only ones that conjure images of romance and mystery.
The attributes we want conveyed are, exotic locations, strong love and affirmation, security in love, fun, new experiences, adventure, journey.
Other reality TV shows related to marriage. e.g "Say yes to the dress" (like this imaging, icons and color application), "Say yes and marry me" (looks weak and low budget), "The Bachelor" (high dollar & clean but not evoking enough romance), "The Bachelorette".

Although nothing official has been announced yet for Windows Phone 7.8, we're certainly hearing a lot more about that pending update these days. The latest information states that current users will get the 'Lenses' feature of Windows Phone 8.
The information comes via a Google Hangout that was held recently with David Akinjise, Product Manager at Nokia and picked up by the site WPArea.de. There he revealed that the Lenses feature along with Cinemagraph and Smart Shoot will be coming to current Nokia Lumia phones in the near future.
Lenses are similar to mini-apps for the Camera module, where programs can be activated while readying to take a photo. Not only do they make photos more creative they give "live" views of whatever changes they are designed to do. So instead of having to find the app in your App list and then post-process the picture, you can do it all at once.
So far, there has been a limited selection of Lenses for Windows Phone 8, including CNN's iReport and Nokia's Cinemagraph, Smart Shoot and Panorama. A Windows Phone 8 version of PhotoSynth is around the corner (we've used it ourselves) and presumably other programs will be getting the treatment as well. From our experience, Lenses really are quite useful as the take some of thing thinking out of taking photos.
Cinemagraph and Smart Shoot are Nokia creations with the former creating animated GIFs from a series of rapidly shot photos and letting the user select which areas to animate. Smart Shoot works by identifying moving objects in a frame and letting the user selectively erase unwanted figures.
If Akinjise's statement turns out to be accurate, current Windows Phone users should get quite a nice update in the next few months to make parity a little more realistic between the two OSs.

DETROIT >> Torii Hunter has said before he was going to ride the bicycle until the wheels fell off.
Apparently they're still on, as Hunter had a home run in his third consecutive game, hitting one off Baltimore's Chris Tillman in the fourth inning of Sunday's game.
Hunter is 6-for-10 with three home runs since starting the season without a hit in his first nine at-bats. His five RBI in Saturday's game were more than anyone else on the team has in total so far this season.
"You just see the ball, hit the ball, and let your God-given ability take over. That's all I'm doing right now," Hunter said. "I've been here before. This is nothing new. This is 18 seasons, and I'm riding this bike until the wheels fall off. Trust me, there's going to be a struggle somewhere in there. One thing about myself, all my failures, I've actually gotten better, I know how to kind of bounce back from slumps. So my 0-for-8 little stint in the beginning, I didn't panic. You guys did. I didn't. Been there before.
His manager, though, would prefer the wheels not wobble their way off anytime soon.
He's certainly happy that the 38-year-old outfielder has gotten hot.
"I'm liking home runs from him right now," manager Brad Ausmus said. "Torii doesn't need any extra confidence. He's played this game a long time. He understands that, just because he didn't get a hit in the first couple of games, didn't mean he wasn't going to have a good season, or couldn't turn it around the next day."
But the Tigers are not going to run him into the ground in the regular season.
"The one thing with Torii, with his age, you want to make sure he gets rest, but the plus to the off days we have early in the season is that he gets rest, and can pretty much play every games," Ausmus said. "If we're in a stretch of 15 straight games, even if Torii's hot, we're probably going to have to take him out of the lineup to rest him. I guess if he's going to be hot, it's good that we have some off days to rest him."
It's fourth time in Hunter's career he has hit home runs in three straight games.. Hunter has only had one streak of homering in four straight games: Aug. 23-26, 2006.
The Tigers have seven homers as a team, including one in each of the first five games, the first time they've done that since 2009.
Rotation does its part
The Tigers' starting rotation posted a 1.93 ERA over the first homestand, getting quality starts in four of the first five games — the lone exception was Anibal Sanchez's rain-shortened outing on Friday.
Even fifth starter Drew Smyly chipped in three scoreless innings of relief, after Sanchez came out.
"Yeah, it's been a great start. We've done a great job of keeping our team in the ballgame, and limiting big innings, and the things you need to do as a starting rotation to be successful. I think every guy's done it. ... All five guys have done an excellent job so far," Justin Verlander said. "If we pitch this way, we're going to win a lot of ballgames."

Understated. Self-effacing. Nonthreatening. Refreshingly old-fashioned.
Don't let these cool descriptors from friends and colleagues fool you: As the vice president's chief of staff, Bruce Reed plays Mr. Fix-It, guiding Joe Biden's role as a driving force behind the Obama administration's agenda.
With the White House wrestling Congress over gun control and tax-and-spending priorities, Reed's deep ties to the Oval Office and reputation for getting along with both parties make him a central character in some of Washington's biggest political battles.
Those who know Reed say his low-key style and consensus-oriented approach to deal-making are the keys to how he's managed time and again to bridge an ever-widening gap between Democrats and Republicans — even when it rankles partisan Democrats who see concessions to the GOP as selling out.
"It gets characterized from an ideological perspective, meaning centrist vs. leftist. Bruce would probably see it more as, 'Are you a reformer and willing to make changes to accomplish the same goals?'" said Chicago mayor and former White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, who co-wrote a policy book with Reed after they served together in the Clinton administration.
It's a trait that meshes well with the pragmatic, do-what-you-can approach to governing of President Barack Obama's administration. Reed's former and current colleagues say his method is also in sync with Biden's freewheeling but driven personality.
Once considered a potential liability to Obama, Biden has evolved into a serious heavy hitter whose broad portfolio of issues is never far removed from the president's top priorities. It was Biden, not Obama, who finally cut the New Year's deal with the Senate that averted the so-called fiscal cliff. White House officials credit Reed, who turns 53 this month, with steering Biden away from political pitfalls, helping him gauge which battles to fight and just how far to push.
But Reed's influence extends far beyond the vice president's quarters and deep into the West Wing. He's considered a full-fledged member of the economic team, joining the treasury secretary and others when the National Economic Council meets. Last year, he was tapped by Obama's then-chief of staff, Bill Daley, to help coordinate the State of the Union address. When Biden negotiates with Republicans in Congress, Reed is often the only other person on the phone.
And when Obama's most senior advisers meet every morning at 7:40 to set the day's agenda, Reed is there. These mornings, it's Reed who keeps Obama's team up to date on one of the administration's top priorities: gun control.
When the president tasked Biden with crafting a series of proposals to respond to a scourge of mass shootings, the role of chief architect fell to Reed, who cut his teeth on gun issues as Clinton's domestic policy adviser. The ensuing proposal includes broadly supported measures like universal background checks, but also a controversial ban on assault weapons.
It quickly became clear the ban would face near-insurmountable obstacles in Congress. That led many to question whether the White House proposed the ban to placate those demanding tough action, but was ready to drop it if necessary to strike a deal. A Senate panel plans to vote on the ban Tuesday, though it has virtually no chance of passing the full Senate. While Biden and Obama say the ban deserves a vote, both have avoided describing it as a must-have.
"Nobody needed to tell me. I saw Bruce's fingerprints all over it," said former Clinton adviser William Galston, who met Reed in the late 1980s working on Al Gore's first presidential campaign. "Bruce is not afraid of the politics of aspiration, but he has a healthy awareness of the distinction between the best and the attainable. He will not counsel people to fall on their sword."
So far, there have been few outcries from the left over the prospect that the White House will abandon the assault-weapons ban — perhaps because even many Democrats are on the fence and fear being cast as infringing on lawful gun ownership.
On other issues where Reed has sought consensus with Republicans, the backlash has sometimes been quite public.
Credited with coining the phrase "end welfare as we know it," Reed bore the wrath of liberals when he helped Clinton in 1996 secure a welfare overhaul — negotiated with Republicans — that ended some guarantees for poor Americans. A handful of Clinton officials resigned in protest.
Still, even those on the losing end of policy disagreements say Reed somehow manages to keep it from getting personal. Peter Edelman, one of the officials who resigned, said even when consensus proved elusive, Reed treated his adversaries with respect.
"In all the years I worked with him, I only saw him lose his temper once at me," said Paul Weinstein, an economist who has worked for Reed in various roles since the 1980s. The rare outburst came in 1992, near the end of Clinton's campaign, when Weinstein told Reed he needed to step away from the campaign to finish his Ph.D. "Bruce just lost it on me," Weinstein said. "When I tell people I saw him lose his temper, they practically fall over backwards because they don't believe it."
Democratic strategist Kiki McLean, who has known Reed for more than two decades, said his sense of humor is striking considering his unobtrusive manner. "Bruce is not the guy who will stand on the table and sing, but he is the guy who will lean over and whisper something so you have to hold your sides to keep from bursting out laughing," she said.
Raised in Coeur d'Alene, a small Idaho town near the Washington state border, Reed followed his mother, Mary Lou Reed, a Democrat and former Idaho state senator, into politics. He moved east for school, studying English at Princeton University before becoming a Rhodes Scholar and earning a master's degree at Oxford University. An avid baseball fan, Reed proposed to his wife, attorney Bonnie LePard, at a Pittsburgh Pirates game; they have two children.
He wrote speeches for then-Sen. Al Gore, D-Tenn., starting in 1985, then joined the Democratic Leadership Council, a now-defunct group that sought to push the Democratic Party toward the political center. He served for all eight years in the Clinton White House, where he was often the public face of the administration's policies on education, guns and welfare reform. Later, he ran the Simpson-Bowles commission, tasked with forging a bipartisan deficit-reduction deal.
That deal never made it to a vote in Congress, but Reed impressed lawmakers from both parties. Republican Sen. Mike Crapo of Idaho, a vocal critic of Obama, recalled how Reed would flesh out a lawmaker's idea, providing the analysis and figures needed to fully evaluate it.
"It happened again and again," Crapo said. "Even if it wasn't necessarily something he would support from his personal political perspective, he was very focused on helping the individual member."
It's been just over two years since Biden tapped Reed to be his chief of staff, and his cautious and meticulous manner often serves as a counterweight to the more verbose and unrehearsed Biden. In that short time, Biden has played a leading role in winding down the war in Iraq, negotiating a fiscal-cliff deal with Senate Republicans, nudging Obama toward an embrace of gay marriage and spearheading Obama's push on gun control.
Reed declined to be interviewed for this story. But Galston, the former Clinton adviser, said Reed values clarity of expression above almost all else.
"He edits documents the way a sculptor works with a block of marble: by subtraction," said Galston. "You get rid of what you don't want, and what's left is what you have in mind."

Hyper-V Migration Guide: Verifying the Migration
Updated: February 11, 2010
Applies To: Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2
After you have completed the migration, perform the following verification steps to ensure that the migration succeeded.
Verify the Hyper-V security policy
Use the Hyper-V security policy information (that you gathered when you prepared for migration) to verify that the roles and scopes are the same on the destination server as the corresponding roles and scopes on the source server.
Verify the networking configuration
Use the information you gathered about the virtual and physical networks to verify the following:
The virtual networks are the same on the destination server as they were on the source server.
If you migrated IP settings for the physical network adapters, such as static IP addresses, they are applied to the corresponding network adapter on the destination server.
Verify the configuration and availability of the virtual machines
Perform the following steps to determine whether the migrated virtual machines will operate as expected.
To verify the virtual machines
Use the virtual machine information you gathered when you prepared for migration to verify the following:
Check to see that the set of virtual machines on the destination server has all the virtual machines that were on the source server.
For each virtual machine, verify that the state of the virtual machine on the destination server is the same as it was on the source server before the migration.
For each virtual machine, verify that the snapshots it has are identical in number and structure to the snapshots of the corresponding virtual machine on the source server.
Verify that the memory and number of virtual processors are the same as they were on the source server.
Verify that the storage configuration (virtual hard disks and/or physical disks attached directly to the virtual machine) is identical to that on the source server.
Start each migrated virtual machine. If a virtual machine does not start, check the event log under Applications and Service Logs\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V virtual machineMS\Admin to see why it failed to start. Common reasons for failure include:
The virtual machine is not in the correct scope in the authorization policy.
The storage is misconfigured. For example, one or more virtual hard disks might not be in the specified location. Check the hard disk settings for the virtual machine to make sure that the path to the .vhd file is valid. If the virtual machine is configured to use a directly attached physical disk, make sure it is attached to the destination server and shows as offline in Disk Management on the server.
One or more virtual hard disks do not have the required security permissions in the file system where the .vhd files are stored.
Run some basic operations that change the state of each virtual machine to verify that the operations work as expected on the migrated virtual machine. For example, saving and restoring, pausing and resuming, starting and stopping, or taking and applying or deleting snapshots.
Delete any of the snapshots you have taken as part of the previous step, turn off the virtual machine to merge the snapshot disks, and then turn on the virtual machine.
After the virtual machine has booted into the operating system, run the necessary application-specific tests to ensure that the application on the virtual machine can provide the same service levels as it provided before the virtual machine was migrated.
Verify that you can access the desktop of each virtual machine using Remote Desktop or Virtual Machine Connection, if you had access to the desktop on the source server.
If the virtual machine passes all of the above tests, it is ready to be put into production.
