A security guard, who was an employee of the Tiger security agency run by Salman Khan's bodyguard Shera, is being hunted by cops for having stolen Rs 6 lakh from a cash collection box of a suburban theatre. Ironically, he was guarding money that had been collected from ticket sales of Bodyguard, Shera's most well-known client's recent release. The accused Arvind Kumar Suresh Pathak is a native of Farfara in Allahabad, and is now absconding..Posted at Fun Republic multiplex as a security supervisor on Sunday night, Pathak had been appointed to man the box where the cash collected from ticket sales had been stored. He was assisted by an unidentified accomplice, who went into the cash room to collect the money. He then slinked away with the sum, unnoticed by the other guards. Once the theft was discovered, evidence incriminating Pathak was obtained from CCTV footage of the theatre. "The security guard was aware that a surveillance camera was recording his moves, and thus he tried to reach up and cover the lens. However, failing to do so, he tied a bandana to cover his face," said API Kane of the Amboli police station. "Three teams have been formed to nab Pathak. He could not be traced at the address that he registered with the security agency. The guard had lately been sleeping at the multiplex quarters," said Vishwas Nagre Patil, ACP (Western Region). His boss Shera has been contacted for details that he might have been provided with, while employing the 30-year-old accused.

Steve Jobs, Apple's visionary, dies at 56

New York:  Steven P. Jobs, the visionary co-founder of Apple who helped usher in the era of personal computers and then led a cultural transformation in the way music, movies and mobile communications were experienced in the digital age, died on Wednesday. He was 56.

The death was announced by Apple, the company Mr. Jobs and his high school friend Stephen Wozniak started in 1976 in a suburban California garage.

Mr. Jobs had waged a long and public struggle with cancer, remaining the face of the company even as he underwent treatment. He continued to introduce new products for a global market in his trademark blue jeans even as he grew gaunt and frail.

He underwent surgery for pancreatic cancer in 2004, received a liver transplant in 2009 and took three medical leaves of absence as Apple's chief executive before stepping down in August and turning over the helm to Timothy D. Cook, the chief operating officer. When he left, he was still engaged in the company's affairs, negotiating with another Silicon Valley executive only weeks earlier.

"I have always said that if there ever came a day when I could no longer meet my duties and expectations as Apple's C.E.O., I would be the first to let you know," Mr. Jobs said in a letter released by the company. "Unfortunately, that day has come."

By then, having mastered digital technology and capitalized on his intuitive marketing sense, Mr. Jobs had largely come to define the personal computer industry and an array of digital consumer and entertainment businesses centered on the Internet. He had also become a very rich man, worth an estimated $8.3 billion.

Eight years after founding Apple, Mr. Jobs led the team that designed the Macintosh computer, a breakthrough in making personal computers easier to use. After a 12-year separation from the company, prompted by a bitter falling-out with his chief executive, John Sculley, he returned in 1997 to oversee the creation of one innovative digital device after another - the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad. These transformed not only product categories like music players and cellphones but also entire industries, like music and mobile communications.

During his years outside Apple, he bought a tiny computer graphics spinoff from the director George Lucas and built a team of computer scientists, artists and animators that became Pixar Animation Studios.

Starting with "Toy Story" in 1995, Pixar produced a string of hit movies, won several Academy Awards for artistic and technological excellence, and made the full-length computer-animated film a mainstream art form enjoyed by children and adults worldwide.

Mr. Jobs was neither a hardware engineer nor a software programmer, nor did he think of himself as a manager. He considered himself a technology leader, choosing the best people possible, encouraging and prodding them, and making the final call on product design.

It was an executive style that had evolved. In his early years at Apple, his meddling in tiny details maddened colleagues, and his criticism could be caustic and even humiliating. But he grew to elicit extraordinary loyalty.

"He was the most passionate leader one could hope for, a motivating force without parallel," wrote Steven Levy, author of the 1994 book "Insanely Great," which chronicles the creation of the Mac. "Tom Sawyer could have picked up tricks from Steve Jobs."

"Toy Story," for example, took four years to make while Pixar struggled, yet Mr. Jobs never let up on his colleagues. "'You need a lot more than vision - you need a stubbornness, tenacity, belief and patience to stay the course," said Edwin Catmull, a computer scientist and a co-founder of Pixar. "In Steve's case, he pushes right to the edge, to try to make the next big step forward."

Twitter used to predict box office hits

Micro-blogging service Twitter can be used to predict the future box-office takings of blockbuster films according to researchers at Hewlett Packard.

The computer scientists studied 3 million messages known as tweets about 25 movies including Avatar.They found the rate at which messages were produced could be used to accurately predict the box office takings before the film opened.Further analysis of the content of the messages could predict ongoing success.Our predictions were incredibly close. Bernardo Huberman head of the social computing lab at HP told.

For example, he said, the system predicted that zombie film The Crazies would take $16.8m in its first weekend in the US. It actually took $16.06m.

The team forecast that romantic drama Dear John would take $30.71m in its first US weekend. It took $30.46m.The unpublished research has been posted on the Arxiv website.

Social sentiment

The team were able to make their first-weekend revenue predictions by analysing the torrent of tweets about a particular film in the run up to its release.We developed algorithms to analyse these tweets and measure the rate at which they were produced said Dr Huberman.

Our intuition was that the faster people tweet the more likely they are to go and see it.The teams were then able to forecast the ongoing success of a film including its second weekend revenues, by doing what is known as sentiment analysis.

This analyses the content of tweets and decides whether it is positive, negative or neutral.It's tapping into collective intelligence said Dr Huberman who carried out the work with Sitaram Asur, also of HP.The team trained their system using Amazon's Mechanical Turk an online tool that pays people to perform small tasks that computers would struggle to complete.We got people to classify tweets and we used that to calibrate the sentiment analysis explained Dr Huberman.Again the system tracked the fortunes of movies and outperformed other predictive systems such as the Hollywood Stock Exchange he said.For example analysis showed a boom in positive sentiment about the Oscar-nominated The Blind Side after it was released but showed the opposite effect for New Moon which initially sold well but rapidly lost viewers.

"Word of mouth builds audience," said Jan Saxton, vice president and senior films analyst at Adams Media Research.

She highlighted the film My Big fat Greek Wedding, which she said became the "film of the year" in 2002 by recommendations.If word of mouth becomes a faster more effective marketing tool then the effect on the movie business could be profound.Both Dr Huberman and Ms Saxton said that the demographic of Twitter which tends to be young tech-savvy and reasonably affluent - may limit the utility of the system for analysis of some trends, such as those aimed at children.

However Dr Huberman believes it could be of use in forecasting other trends, such as how well a gadget or product will sell.Elements such as sentiment analysis are also being used by other groups.

For example it is being used by an organisation called Tweetminster to monitor the UK general election to work out whether online buzz correlates with the winners.

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Details

Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) refers to a range of negative consequences of development that result from maternal drinking during pregnancy. Can children with FASD suffer from many problems, including epilepsy, characterized by spontaneous recurrence of unprovoked seizures, which affects 0.6 percent of the general population. The new study found a much higher prevalence of epilepsy or a history of seizures in individuals with FASD.

The results will be published in No. 2010 in June of Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research and is now available to view early.

"There are very few studies have examined the relationship between seizures and epilepsy among individuals with FASD," noted James Reynolds, a senior scientist in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology and the Centre for Neuroscience Studies at Queen's University. Reynolds is one of the authors of the study.

"Many patients with epilepsy have a history of exposure to an insult before birth, so we reasoned that prenatal exposure to alcohol can be such an insult epileptogenic", said Peter Carlen, a neurologist and senior scientists to the division of neurobiology fundamental in West Toronto hospital, and another of the authors of the study. "Secondly, there is considerable overlap in the structures of the brain that is deficient as a result of chronic exposure to alcohol before birth and those that are associated with seizures, particularly in the hippocampus in the brain. Third, the previous studies failed to examine other complications that occur in mothers who drink alcoholduring pregnancy, such as the effects of drinking on the seizure activity. Finally, previous studies used small sample sizes and failed to clear definition of seizures and FASD ".

"Recently, scientists began to investigate whether fetal exposure to alcohol increases the risk for the development of behavioral health and other neurological problems," said Dan Savage, a professor of rulers' and chairman of neuroscience at the University of New Mexico. "Has already begun is evidence to suggest that children who suffer from FASD are more prone to alcoholism, drug abuse and depression later in life. While it is too early in the history of relatively young of this field of research to evaluate whether maternaldrinking during pregnancy increases the risk of neurological disorders related to aging, such as stroke or Parkinson's disease, several recent studies retrospectively on a large scale and to study whether fetal alcohol exposure increases the risk of epilepsy. "
This study, researchers looked at the history of 425 individuals (254 males, 171 females), aged between two and 49 years old, from clinics FASD Mon Were examined relations between the confirmed diagnosis of FASD and other risk factors - such as exposure to alcohol or other drugs, type of birth, trauma - for co-existence of epilepsy or a history of seizures.

"This study revealed a much higher prevalence of epilepsy and the date of seizure in individuals with a diagnosis of FASD", said Stephanie H. Bell, a researcher at the Center for Neuroscience at Queen's University, and author of the book corresponding to this study. "In the general population, is expected to be less than one percent to the development of epilepsy; with FASD, was six percent and 12 percent of epilepsy and one or more seizures in their lives. The subjects were more prone to epilepsy, or a history of seizures and, if exposure to alcohol occurred in the first three months of pregnancy or throughout the entire. "

"Although this report supports the growing impression that the fetal exposure to alcohol may predispose the immature brain to the development of epilepsy, the results do not prove a direct cause-and effectrelationship FASD and epilepsy," he warned Savage. "The establishment of a direct link between these clinical conditions would be a tough challenge given our incomplete understanding of how ethanol damages the developing brain and what changes in the tissues of the brain neuropathological lead to the development of different types of epilepsy."

However, Savage said it is clear that alcohol can cause damage in the brain of the fetus. "To what extent this damage and lead to negative consequences for neurobehavioral depends on the likely large number of factors, including the size and patterns of ofdrinking during pregnancy, and the presence of risk factors of pregnancy, such as smoking, drug abuse, poor prenatal care, and the presence of other diseases affecting the health of the mother, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, "he said. "As risk factors accumulate, the risk of negative consequences also increase nerve growth."

And missed often "epilepsy and / or seizures in children in the assessments of clinical," noted Carlen ", and if untreated can lead to cognitive problems increasing or unacknowledged. In the long run, it can also lead to problems in attention, memory, and the risk of heart unattended and dangerous. Many of the children may not have a tendency to epilepsy and has no physical signs of FASD, but the doctor must be aware of the alcohol exposureduring pregnancy when considering the health of their patients and diagnose the causes of certain.
