Katy Perry Divorce: Russell Brand Files on Behalf of Both For Family's Sake


The divorce of Katy Perry and Russell Brand was months in the making, and the pop star was NOT blindsided by the actor/comedian's filing, reports say.

They decided Brand would file the court papers in the divorce because she didn't want to upset her religious parents, sources close to the couple indicate.

Katy and Russell knew the relationship was on the rocks months ago, but didn't want to bail on the marriage without a concerted effort to work it out.

Sadly, both sides ultimately felt "it just wasn't there."

Katy and Russell were on board with the divorce weeks ago - there was no massive fight that triggered the split - but didn't want to be in L.A. when the papers were filed.

Thus, he went back to England and she went to Hawaii for Christmas.

Fans of Katy know her parents are evangelical Christians, who raised her to believe that divorce is morally wrong. Out of respect to Katy and her family, Russell was the one to officially file; It's unclear how or when Katy will legally respond.

Brand released a statement confirming the split but insisting the two will always love each other and remain friends. Here's hoping that's true, but don't bet on a reconciliation.

These two appear to have had problems since the get-go.

Netgear Powerline AV 500 Adapter Kit (XAVB5001)

  • Netgear Powerline AV 500 Adapter Kit (XAVB5001)
  • Performance

It?s hard to beat the convenience of a home Wi-Fi network but it can?t touch wired connectivity when it comes to throughput speed. Unfortunately, wiring your home with CAT-5 cabling can get expensive and messy if you don?t know what you?re doing. Enter Netgear?s Powerline AV 500 Powerline Adapter Kit ($159.99 list), an incredibly easy to use solution that turns every power outlet in your home into a Gigabit wired Ethernet port. In my testing, the AV 500 delivered almost ten times the transfer speed of my Wi-Fi router. While that's less than a wired connection, it's just fine for streaming movies and transferring large data files and folders.?

Features and Design
The AV 500 kit consists of two XAV5001 Powerline adapters, two 6.5 foot Ethernet cables, and a Resource CD containing a Powerline Utility and an Installation Guide. Unfortunately, the disc does not include a user manual; instead, it provides a link to an online manual, which may be inconvenient if you?re having trouble getting the adapters to work for some reason. However, the odds of that happening are slim to none as Powerline technology is the epitome of plug and play.

Each adapter measures 3.3 by 2.5 by 1.5 inches (HWD) and weighs a little less than half a pound (0.4 pounds). The front of the housing has a glossy white finish and has the Netgear logo etched into the center and a blue Powerline AV 500 label at the bottom. At the top are three LED indicators; the power indicator glows a solid green when electrical power is on and blinks green when the adapter is starting up and running through the security setup process. An amber light indicates that the adapter has gone into power saving mode, which happens when the port is not linked for more than ten minutes. The Powerline indicator is solid green when a connection is made to the network, and it blinks when the adapter is receiving and sending data. It remains unlit if a compatible adapter with the same encryption key cannot be found, or if the adapter has been disabled via the Powerline Utility. This indicator also tells you how strong the link rate is for each electrical outlet. A green light means the link rate is better than 80 Mbps, amber means less than 80 Mbps but greater than 50 Mbps, and a red light means less than 50 Mbps.

On the right side of the adapter are a security button and a recessed factory reset button. The security button makes it easy to set a private encryption key that can be used across your entire Powerline network, and the reset button returns the adapter to its original factory defaults. On the bottom of the adapter is a single Ethernet port. Despite the vented casing designed to prevent the adapter from overheating while plugged in and running, the adapter was still quite warm to the touch after 15 minutes of use.

Installation
Powerline AV 500 installation is as easy as it gets as long as you follow a few simple rules of thumb. Always plug the adapter directly into the electrical socket; do not use extension cords, power strips, or surge protectors. Try to use an outlet that does not have power hungry appliances plugged into it, such as a washer, dryer, or refrigerator, and make sure that the outlets to be used are on the same circuit and use the same breaker box, otherwise they will not be able to communicate with each other.? For this reason Powerline adapters may not work in large apartment complexes or office buildings. You?ll also need an existing network and a router.

Russian officials rattled by breach at rocket plant

MOSCOW | Thu Dec 29, 2011 3:57pm EST

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's deputy prime minister vowed Thursday to punish "sleepy" security officials after bloggers posted dozens of photos of an apparently unguarded strategic military rocket motor factory near Moscow.

Blogger Lana Sator said she and friends met not a soul, much less any security guards, as they roamed around state rocket-maker Energomash's plant, snapping pictures, on five separate night-time excursions in recent months.

She posted almost 100 pictures of decrepit-looking hardware from inside a rusted engine-fuel testing tower, the plant's control room and even its roof at lana-sator.livejournal.com

Russian media cited a senior space agency official, speaking anonymously, who described the breach as a shock of the same scale as German pilot Mathias Rust's brazen Cessna flight under Soviet radar to land on Red Square in 1987.

"It showed a complete inability to protect anything whatsoever," the official told Izvestia. Space agency Roskosmos declined comment on the incident when reached by Reuters.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said the security failure was "unacceptable," warning in a televised meeting with Roskosmos chief Vladimir Popovkin that "sleepy cats" who failed to maintain security at strategic defense sites face punishment.

Rogozin, Moscow's former NATO envoy appointed to oversee the defense and space sectors this month, also criticised Roskosmos for a string of recent botched launches.

"We must take urgent steps to restore order in this sphere," he said, ordering Roskosmos to present a report explaining the underlining causes of the failures by the end of January.

Last week, a Russian communications satellite crashed, adding to a string of humiliating launch failures that marred this year's celebrations of 50 years since Yuri Gagarin's first human space flight.

What was to be post-Soviet Russia's debut interplanetary mission to Mars's moon last month was stuck in orbit.

In August, the crash of an unmanned cargo craft cast doubt over Moscow's ability to guarantee International Space Station operations, while the loss of a $265-million communication satellite hurt its commercial launch record.

Monday, Russia also delayed by 25 days a launch for European satellite giant SES, citing technical glitches.

Gomez reveals sister's name was Scarlett Teefey

We're happy to report Selena Gomez and her family are doing OK.

The pop star and former Disney princess has broken her silence since tragedy struck when her mom recently suffered a miscarriage.

RELATED: Selena Gomez Cancels Concerts After Mother Suffers Miscarriage

"Belated Merry Christmas everybody," Gomez tweeted and posted on Facebook this afternoon. "I can't thank you enough for all of your thoughts and prayers. I love you all so much and we hope you and your family had a beautiful Christmas!"

She not only signed the message from herself, but also included her mom, her stepdad and "our guardian angel Scarlett."

Gomez announced on Twitter late last month that mom Mandy and stepfather Brian Teefey were expecting their first child together. Sadly, Mandy miscarried mere weeks later.

Gomez subsequently pulled out of two radio station holiday shows to be with her family. She is expected to perform in Times Square during MTV's live New Year's Eve special.

Canada offers Arctic option: relief wells, with some exceptions

Companies planning to explore Canada?s Arctic offshore region have been given a chance to show they can ?meet or exceed? the National Energy Board?s policy to kill an out-of-control well, otherwise the federal regulator will stick with its same-season relief policy.

In updating its rules, which included consideration of BP?s Macondo well blowout in the Gulf of Mexico, the NEB said in a 53-page report it remains determined to ?minimize harmful impacts? to the Arctic environment by requiring operators to sink a relief well in the same summer season that a well begins to leak uncontrollably.

But it has given companies a de facto exemption to demonstrate that they can apply new technologies to cap a blowout.

It is not yet clear whether that will open the way for Imperial Oil, ExxonMobil, BP and Chevron to file exploration applications in 2012 to explore their Beaufort Sea leases.

?Filing requirements set out the technical information we will need to see in future applications for offshore drilling in the Canadian Arctic,? said NEB chair Gaetan Caron.

?These new requirements provide clarity to future applicants and to those who will provide input into the board?s decision to approve or deny an application for a well in the Arctic.?

Chevron says not feasible

Imperial, as operator, and ExxonMobil each hold 25 percent of the Ajurak-Pokak joint-venture covering two deepwater exploration blocks in the Beaufort, with BP holding the remaining 50 percent. The partnership secured the rights by making combined work commitments of almost C$1.8 billion.

Chevron has two exploration licenses covering a total 1,200 square miles immediately west of the joint-venture properties and is hoping to start seismic work in the 2012-14 period.

In its submission to the NEB?s 18-month consultation with northern communities, the industry and environmentalists, Chevron said the same-season relief well requirement ?would likely not be feasible as drilling moves into deeper water areas, with more complex wells and with more challenging ice conditions than were experienced in the initial phase of Canadian Beaufort exploration 20 to 35 years ago.?

It said the NEB should require drillers to stop uncontrolled flows in the same season that they started, but not necessarily with a relief well.

Chevron has already indicated it is developing a new-generation blowout preventer which it believes would make relief wells unnecessary.

Imperial focused on prevention

James Hawkins, Imperial?s Arctic operations manager, said in a letter to the NEB that his company?s ?primary approach to well control is prevention.

?While it is important to have a relief well plan that has been subject to rigorous review and approval by the NEB, a requirement for same-season relief well capability is generally neither practical nor necessary,? he said.

But the leaseholders, along with ConocoPhillips, say they need more time to study what impact the new stipulations will have on their exploration plans.

However, the NEB does not rule out the use of enhanced prevention technology to avoid the same-season rule, although it said prevention alone will not suffice.

It said NEB panels will now determine whether companies can ?depart from? the relief well rule.

CAPP: Some flexibility

The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers said the new rules offer some flexibility for companies to ?innovate and apply new technologies.?

In its submission, CAPP said 132 wells have been drilled in the Canadian Arctic, 89 in the Beaufort, with no significant oil spills.

Bharat Dixit, the NEB?s technical leader of exploration and production, told the National Post that the ice pack makes the Beaufort a ?closed ocean? for much of the year, which prompted the NEB to introduce its single-season relief well policy to prevent uncontrolled wells from leaking through the winter.

He said the NEB is confident drilling can be conducted safely in the Arctic provided companies follow recommendations on proper management and training, use a measured pace on development that includes ?pauses? before critical or dangerous work and have a proper spill response plan in place.

Trevor Taylor, policy director at the Pew Center?s Oceans North Canada group, said the NEB?s review is a ?positive first step,? although it is not clear ?what you need to do in order to drill in the Arctic.?

?The industry has been saying they can do it safely, so I think the ball is in industry?s court right now when it comes to demonstrating to regulatory bodies, the NEB in particular, that they?re able to meet requirements,? he said.

However, Taylor warned that ?there?s always going to be the risk? of a spill, adding: ?We?re not saying you shouldn?t drill at all. The risk has to be minimized to that extent that is reasonable.?

How IBM Built the Most Powerful Computer in the World

Chris Marroquin is waist-deep in a hole in the floor. He's a tall guy with a medium build, but he looks awfully short now, and his shirt is pumped up to Schwarzenegger size by a 60-degree breeze blustering all around him. Grappling with a 1-inch-diameter hose, he attempts to explain the liquid-cooling system of IBM's next-generation supercomputer to me, but I can barely hear him over the howling wind. We're in a development room of IBM's Rochester, Minn., facility, where engineers test and assemble the company's Blue Gene supercomputers. The air buffeting Marroquin cools a small, four-rack Blue Gene/P system capable of 13.9 teraflops per rack, but the hose he's holding is part of a far more advanced cooling system. Filled with deionized water, the anti-corrosive agent benzotriazole and a dose of biocide, the tube feeds into a prototype of the company's new Blue Gene/Q computer. The Blue Gene/Q rack sitting on the raised floor has its own circulatory system?850 feet of copper pipe, with check valves, quick-disconnect rubber hoses and an electronic monitor that measures flow rate, pressure and dew point?designed to shut down if anything goes awry. "You don't want any drips," Marroquin says.

As sophisticated as the cooling system is, what launches this machine into the realm of technological superlatives is its processing power: Each rack contains 1024 computer chips, and every one of those chips has 16 processor cores. That's a total of 16,384 processors, making it capable of 209 teraflops, 15 times more power per rack than the Blue Gene/P. Within the next year IBM will ship 96 Blue Gene/Q racks to Bruce Goodwin at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) in California. Collectively, those racks will become the most powerful computer in the world. It should be able to predict the path of hurricanes, decode gene sequences and analyze the ocean floor to discover oil. But Goodwin primarily wants to use it to blow up a nuclear bomb.

Goodwin used explode nukes the old-fashioned way. From 1983 to 1991, he designed and oversaw five nuclear weapons tests at the Department of Energy's Nevada Test Site. He and other engineers would dig a 2000-foot-deep hole, toss a warhead and some highly specialized monitoring equipment into a 10-story-tall, 1-million-pound iron canister and lower it into the hole. Then everybody would move way the heck back, cross their fingers and detonate. "Sitting in the control room 10 miles away, it felt like a magnitude 5 or 6 earthquake," Goodwin says.

All that changed in October 1992, when then President George H.W. Bush declared a moratorium on nuclear testing in anticipation of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty of 1996. After that, if the United States wanted to test any of the warheads in its multithousand-weapon arsenal, it had to do a computer simulation. Thus, our interest in really powerful computers was nationalized.

Really powerful computers have been around as long as computers themselves, but the term supercomputer didn't arrive until 1976, when Seymour Cray built the Cray-1. It cost $8.8 million ($35 million in today's dollars) and cranked up to 160 megaflops. Yesterday's supercomputer, however, has less power than today's personal computer?a modern PC has more than 50 times the processing horsepower of the original Cray. In fact, the "super" prefix is so fuzzy that many computer scientists eschew the term supercomputer altogether and call such machines high-performance computers, or HPCs. In an attempt to bring some clarity to the genre, in 1993 a private group called the Top500 project started publishing a twice-yearly list of the 500 most powerful computers in the world. If your computer is on the list, it is by definition a supercomputer.

For 17 of the Top500 list's 18 years, the U.S. and Japan have swapped supremacy. But in October 2010, China claimed the top spot with the 2.6-petaflop Tianhe-1A. The computer scientists who design and build these systems tend to work for multinational companies and are cautious about characterizing what they do as a statement of national pride. Regardless, supercomputers have come to symbolize the technological prowess of the countries that build them?a silicon-age version of the space race. In a sign of the whipsaw speed of technological progress, Japan eclipsed China just eight months later, in June 2011, unveiling the 8-petaflop K Computer. The Chinese countered in August, outlining a road map to "exascale" computing, essentially promising a 125-fold increase in computing power within 10 years. If Tianhe-1A was China's Sputnik moment, exascale is its moonshot.

The supercomputer's role in maintaining America's nuclear weapons justifies its status as a national security interest. But China's challenge to the West's computing dominance has led many computer scientists and policy wonks to claim that supercomputing is essential to U.S. economic security as well. These machines are force multipliers for American scientists, engineers and businesses, the argument goes, and whoever builds the best ones gains an advantage. Supercomputers don't just reflect intellectual and technological power, they also reinforce it.

The folks at IBM Rochester betray little interest in China's goal of supercomputing dominance. Their job is to work out the engineering for Blue Gene/Q, and they deliberately focus on the technology, not the politics. They are classic pocket-protector engineers, and their titles are inelegant bureaucratic artifacts that offer little clue to their actual roles. "We're a very small, roll-up-your-sleeves team effort," says Pat Mulligan, development manager for Global Server Integration (who, for the record, had his sleeves rolled up when we spoke). "We're not overly nationalistic, we just want to make the best computer we can."

The building where Marroquin, Mulligan and the rest of the IBM team are creating the 21st century's most powerful computers is a monument to mid-20th-century corporate futurism. Designed by architect Eero Saarinen (who also designed the St. Louis Gateway Arch), the sprawling structure is clad in dark blue glass. Hallways a half-mile long stretch through the interior. At some point IBM?always pushing the technological envelope?concealed wires in the hallway floors to guide robots that delivered parts and machinery from one assembly room to another. The robots are long gone, a dream of mechanical efficiency undone by reality: They were slow and broke down so often that the facility switched to human-guided forklifts.

The Blue Gene/Q computers I'm getting a look at in midsummer are not part of Bruce Goodwin's supercomputer (named Sequoia). These are test models, used to work out the kinks in the hardware and software. The manufacturing of Sequoia's 96 racks was due to ramp up soon after my visit, but Goodwin and his team at Lawrence Livermore are already logging in to Blue Gene/Q and tinkering from afar; a sign on one of the racks in the Rochester assembly room says LLNL REMOTE ACCESS MACHINE.

Goodwin's Terascale Simulation Facility (TSF) at Livermore is one of two DOE centers that perform nuclear simulations as part of the Stockpile Stewardship Program (the other is at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico). To get a simulation that delivers an acceptable degree of accuracy, Goodwin's team models a 50-microsecond explosion in three dimensions down to a scale of 10 microns. "It gets very complicated," Goodwin says. "These things are imploding and exploding, and you have to track the fluid mechanics with the precision of a Swiss watch." Every time a component is changed or upgraded in a U.S. nuclear warhead, the TSF virtually tests the bomb to make sure it will still go boom. The computer simulations have revealed aspects of nuclear fission that testers hadn't anticipated, and, consequently, the number and complexity of algorithms have increased over time. Modern simulations model only parts of a full explosion, and even then, the most complex sims Goodwin runs use about a million lines of code. If you had 1600 years, the calculations could conceivably be done on a laptop; Livermore's current 500-teraflop Blue Gene/P system, named Dawn, gets a high-complexity sim done in a month. When the 20-petaflop Sequoia system goes live in 2012, the test time should drop to a week.

John Legend is officially off the market. The singer asked his girlfriend, Chrissy Teigen, to marry him over the holidays.

The couple confirmed the news in a statement to People. "John Legend and his girlfriend, model Chrissy Teigen, got engaged over the holidays while vacationing in the Maldives," a rep confirmed.

People reports that while little else is known about how they celebrated the good news, Legend will be in Las Vegas this weekend performing at the Pearl at the Palms on New Year's Eve.

"We validate or shut down whatever each of us is doing," Legend told People in May about how the pair help style one another. "[It's] all of the time. We were together when we picked out our clothes today. She's better [at it]. It's harder to dress a woman — there are so many options and accessories. For guys we only have so many elements."

The couple began dating in 2007. Teigen is best known for her work as a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. It's a big week for Legend, who will also celebrate his birthday Wednesday.

Legend and Teigen weren't the only pair who got engaged over the holidays: Matthew McConaughey popped the question to his model girlfriend, Camila Alves, on Christmas Day. He took to Twitter to share the good news. "Just asked camila to marry me, merry Christmas," he tweeted, also posting a photo of him and Alves kissing next to Christmas decorations.

Cops: Man who killed 6 relatives wore Santa outfit

The man believed to have killed six relatives and then himself on Christmas Day was dressed as Santa Claus, police said Monday.

The shooter "showed up shortly before the incident took place" in the Santa outfit and was a member of the family opening gifts in the apartment in this Dallas suburb, said Grapevine police spokesman Sgt. Robert Eberling.

Late Sunday evening, police intently searched a sport utility vehicle parked outside the apartment. The vehicle is registered to a man who listed his residence as a home two miles away in the neighboring suburb of Colleyville.

Thomas Ehrlich, who lives near the home in Colleyville, told the AP he heard from neighbors that police went to the house Sunday. He said it was his understanding that the man and women who once lived there were estranged.

Records show the couple had financial problems and that their home, most recently valued on the county tax rolls at $336,200, had been sold in 2010 at a foreclosure auction.

Eberling said the identity of the man and the victims would be released after autopsies are conducted and relatives were notified.

The dead ? four women and three men ? were found late Sunday morning in an apartment living room in Grapevine by police answering a voiceless 911 call.

Two pistols were recovered from the home, said Eberling, who called it a "gruesome crime scene" and the worst outburst of gun violence in the town's history.

No one was found alive by police arriving at the home, he said.

A community of about 46,000 people some 20 miles northwest of downtown Dallas, Grapevine is known for its wine-tasting salons and was recently proclaimed by the state Senate as the "Christmas Capital of Texas" for its abundance of annual holiday-season events.

"This is obviously a terrible tragedy," said Mayor William Tate. "The fact that it happened on Christmas makes it even more tragic."

The victims' ages were 15, 19, 22, 55, 56, 58 and 59, said Grapevine police Lt. Todd Dearing. The victims in their 50s were two couples.

Voiceless 911 call
Police dispatched at about 11:30 a.m. local time on Sunday found the bodies in the first-floor living room of a two-story unit in the Lincoln Vineyards apartments.

The 911 caller never spoke to police, and officers did not see the telephone when they arrived, officials said. Eberling said he believed police had to kick in the door to enter.

Many of the nearby apartments are vacant, and police said no neighbors reported hearing anything on a quiet Christmas morning when many people were not around.

Eberling said the victims appeared to have just opened Christmas presents when the shooting started, and there was no visible sign of forced entry or a struggle.

"By all appearances, they're all part of the same family," Eberling said. "It's a gruesome crime scene to say the least, with that many victims in that (small an) area suffering gunshot wounds."

The bodies remained in the apartment well past dark as investigators worked into the early hours of Monday morning processing the crime scene, police said.

Lincoln Vineyards is a middle-income complex near Colleyville Heritage High School, one of the area's most highly regarded schools.

Several neighbors said children frequently played in front of the apartment, and they regularly saw young adults leaving for work.

Vanessa Barerra said the killings were especially disturbing in light of Grapevine's reputation as a safe place to live.

"I did research and chose to live here because of the safety and the school district," she said. "I'm glad my kids weren't here. They're with their dad."

Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
