The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency debuted a new website dedicated to sharing open-source data and publications today, calling it the DARPA Open Catalog.
There are a number of different aims for the Open Catalog. By sharing open-source code freely, DARPA says it hopes to create a community of developers who are experts in software for government use. Program manager Chris White said that the collaborative nature of open-source was another incentive for the project.

"Our hope is that the computer science community will test and evaluate elements of our software and afterward adopt them as either standalone offerings or as components of their products," he said in a statement.
The initial wave of open-source code mostly includes projects related to XDATA, a DARPA-backed big data analytics framework designed to help people make quick decisions based on incomplete information. Contributions include those from UC Berkeley, Stanford, MIT, and several well-known defense contractors like Boeing and IBM. Research papers from these organizations are also available via the DARPA Open Catalog.
But the future of the program, DARPA said, will be determined by the response to this first wave if there's enough interest, the agency will continue to release experimental data, papers and, of course, more open-source code. Next on the list will be work on natural language processing and visual media recognition technology, designed to automate some analysis tasks. The Open Catalog can be found here.
The Open Catalog is a somewhat novel project for DARPA, long a highly secretive institution charged with keeping the American military on the technological cutting-edge. That said, however, many landmark technologies saw their genesis at DARPA, including GPS, the operating system that would eventually become Unix, and a network called ARPANET that served as the direct forerunner of the Internet as we know it.

The European Parliament's delegation for relations with Switzerland, Iceland, Norway, but also Faroese Islands, Greenland and Lichtenstein has evolved with the mixing of different separate delegations. First, the delegation for relations with Switzerland was established in 1981, then with Norway in 1982, and then with Iceland in 1987. The European Economic Area Joint Parliamentary Committee (EEA JPC) was established in January 1994 in order to help to contribute more to the democratic control in the fields covered by the EEA Agreements.
Today these delegations have conflated into a single one called the DEEA delegation (also known as SINEEA).
The SINEEA delegation is responsible for the EP's relations with the Nordic Council, the Conference of Parliamentarians of the Arctic Region (CPAR) and the Baltic Sea Parliamentary Conference. The delegation has permanent seats in the latter, and is also responsible for the relations with the West Nordic Council (aforementioned Iceland, Greenland and the Faroese Islands).
DEEA meets with the EEA member states' delegations once a year while the EEA JPC, which is composed of an equal number of members of the European Parliament and of the Parliaments of Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein, meets twice a year.

Being the biggest ships in the US Navy fleet, it's strange to think of an aircraft carrier getting replenished at sea by a much smaller mothership. But this happens often, as this image of the USS Enterprise sucking its food shows.
The photo was taken this month in the Gulf of Oman. On the right there's the guided-missile cruiser USS Vicksburg. In the middle, the USNS Supply—mom. Just another busy day at sea.

Merciless Nun Costume
Say your last prayer with this creepy nun!
Sister Alma has attended many people on their way to the other side. But not in the way one would expect from a nun. Instead of comforting mortally ill people, she kills innocent, healthy human beings! With our Merciless Nun Costume you can turn yourself into this sinister sister!
The Merciless Nun Costume includes the robe, hood, veil and belt. The grey, waisted robe has jagged sleeves and a jagged hemline. The veil conists of two pieces and can be bent as desired. It can be attached to the slightly lighter coloured hood with Velcro fasteners. The hood is to be worn under the veil. The included belt made of plastic pearls with felt cross detail makes the scary nun look complete.
Material: 100 % polyester
- Fantastic frightful costume
- Costume set including robe, hood, veil and belt
- A great outfit for Halloween and carnival parties

Brandon Jenner's Colorful Wedding Party Pictures
Jenner and his bride Leah Felder pose with their families in Hawaii
Brandon Jenner and Leah Felder took advantage of their tropical wedding locale in Hawaii – as is clear from new photos of the couple's nuptials.
In a picture of the couple's two families, the group looks like a postcard for a Hawaiian holiday. The family members – including dad Bruce Jenner and wife Kris Jenner and Brandon's mom Linda Thompson – they are standing on the beach and wearing classic white, tan, yellow and coral tones. Many of the women, including the bride, have flowers in their hair.
A photo of Felder's bridesmaids, among them Kendall and Kylie Jenner, shows that the ladies kept to the breezy, outdoorsy theme in their colorful wardrobe as well.
In another photo of the groomsmen – including brother Brody Jenner wearing flip-flops! – they pose with the ocean as their backdrop, gentle waves lapping at the sand and rocks.
Brandon and Felder, the daughter of former Eagles guitarist Don Felder (pictured above at far right), tied the knot last Thursday in an intimate sunset ceremony on the beach.
