Former 'Mob Wives' Star Sues Rockstar Games over Likeness in GTA 5
If art imitates life, you better call a lawyer because the daughter of a Mafioso is suing the makers of Grand Theft Auto 5 for allegedly using her likeness in its recent hit title.
The Daily News reported that Rockstar Games has supposedly used Karen Gravano's image and life story in their hit crime caper without her permission. Gravano is the daughter of Italian Mafioso, Salvatore "Sammy the Bull" Gravano. She has just filed a $40 million lawsuit against Rockstar Games based on her claims.
Gravano's lawyer claimed in a public statement that the ripped-off character in GTA 5 that copies his client's life was Antonia Bottino. Antonia Bottino is the daughter of Sammy Bottino, a mob underboss who was mentioned (but never seen) in both Grand Theft Auto 4 and 5. In GTA 5, you encountered Antonia being randomly buried in the ground on a dirt road in one of the game's randomized events (which were only about five minutes long in duration).
After killing the men who buried her and bringing her into your vehicle, Antonia told your character (it could have been Franklin, Trevor or Michael) that her father was on the run from a murder charge and was moving around the west in small towns.
Karen Gravano's father turned sates evidence against his Mafia partners and was seen as a turncoat. Unfortunately, there are no reports of Gravano ever being buried in the desert only to be rescued by a random stranger. As for stealing her physical likeness, we shall let our readers decide for themselves whether or not Gravano's case holds weight based on these pictures below.

From one to another!

360° service for precision parts
Through the well-considered penetration of new business areas and consistent investment in new technologies, Trissler & Kielkopf has successfully achieved the transition from a knitting machine manufacturer to a supplier of ready-to-assemble precision parts.
The medium-sized firm Trissler & Kielkopf represents a good example for the change that has come about in machine engineering in Baden-Württemberg. When Johannes Trissler started making knitting machines in 1921, he had no idea that this sector would practically no longer exist 70 years later. Business was excellent for many years - and this continued with the specialization in flat-bed knitting machines.
As the knitting and textile machine industry began to experience major change, Trissler & Kielkopf adjusted its focus to the supplier trade and general machine engineering. The last knitting machine left the Reutlingen works in the early nineteen-eighties. In 1990, the European textile machinery industry was practically at an end, but the Reutlingen company had long since established itself in other industrial and machine engineering sectors. A short time later, the time had come for a new generation to take the helm. Mr Peter Dorau, who some time previously had already shouldered managerial esponsibility, and his wife Christel took charge. With a view to maintaining their competitiveness, they immediately introduced structural alterations.
Intelligent investment
"The parts manufacturing division was strongly oriented towards conventional turning, drilling, milling and grinding machines. We did actually start with 3-axis milling using a Hermle UWF 900 universal milling machine as early as 1991, but otherwise we still used the machines that were already there," explains CEO Peter Dorau. This went well until the orders flooded in so fast that the company was unable to find enough qualified personnel. Mr Dorau continues: "We realized that we had to invest in more highly automated CNC machining centers as soon as possible so that we could satisfy the demand with the same level of staffing."
Being very satisfied with the UWF 900, Trissler & Kielkopf took the logical step and extended its plant resources through the purchase of 5-axis CNC machining centers from Hermle: C 800 U (1999), C 800 V (2000) and three C 40 U (2006, 2008, 2010). As an engineer and technical operation manager, Ms Dorau assesses the investment in Hermle machines as follows: "The reliability and precision of the machines are demonstrably very good. We can deliver the precision parts on time and in excellent, reproducible quality. But most of all we find the rapid response of the service team and quick availability of spare parts impressive."
Entering the world of robotics
Even after thirteen years, the C 800 U is still running as well as it did at the start. Nevertheless, Trissler & Kielkopf is increasing the level of automation further and pays close attention to the compatibility of the Hermle machining centers, that are generally identically equipped - the latest C 40 U combined with a fully automated workpiece magazine and loading system. The C 40 U installed in 2008 started operation with an RS2 robot system, and since then highly flexible production is possible round the clock. As Peter Dorau confirms: The mix of high-performance 5-axis full processing and integrated, fully automated workpiece management is the ideal solution for Trissler & Kielkopf: "We have to be able to manage runs from between one and 20000 pieces, divided into batches. Generally, we deal with complex individual parts and small series, using steel, tooling steel, stainless steels, aluminum and plastic. With the Hermle C 800 U, and especially the C 40 U machining center, we are able to fully process precision workpieces from 3 mm in size, using the working area of the C 40 U to the full and the rotation and swiveling capability of the NC rotary tables."
No idle times
Thanks to the workpiece magazine and workpiece / pallet handling with the RS2, the process runs fully automatically and autonomously, so that the staff can concentrate on other tasks while the order is being executed. For a medium-sized company like Trissler & Kielkopf this is essential - it cannot afford the luxury of idle times. That is why Peter and Christel Dorau put their confidence in the production expertise of their eleven highly-qualified employees and in the 5-axis capabilities of their long-term partner Hermle. This provides an excellent basis for being able to supply convincing tenders that are in a different league compared with ones based on a conventional workbench.

Hysteria is rampant inside the Beltway, as politicians and their media fanboys contemplate the unheard-of possibility that federal spending may not rise very much this year. The horror! I'm guessing that outside the confines of America's last boom town, the idea of cutting federal spending sounds pretty good. Most voters are probably skeptical that it will really happen, given the federal government's iron grip on our wallets, and they may be right. But my own view, that the biggest problem with sequestration is that it doesn't cut enough, is, I suspect, widely shared.
Sure, the administration will try to make the cuts as noticeable and annoying to the public as possible. And, sure, the state-controlled media will abet the administration's deceptions. (Covering up news has replaced reporting news as the liberal media's principal purpose.) But at some level, reality is hard to overlook. The idea that a miniscule cut–i.e. reduction of the increase–in federal spending represents some kind of crisis is ludicrous.
While sequestration isn't perfect, it is by far the best option on the table, given the Democrats' intransigence, and Republicans should embrace it. Many Republican officeholders don't seem to understand that the biggest knock on Republicans is not that they are too "extreme," it is that they continually fail to achieve the objectives on which they campaign. So if voters believe that the GOP has succeeded in bringing about meaningful cuts in the federal budget, hallelujah! Nothing could be better for the Republican brand.

Twenty-three years ago today, Fawn Hall became the most famous secretary in America. On June 8, 1987 Hall testified in the Iran-Contra hearings to helping her boss Lt. Col. Oliver North shred documents having to do with the affair, in which senior Reagan administration officials facilitated arm sales to Iran in order to fund the Nicaraguan contras.
According to Hall's unsubstantiated Wiki entry, that wasn't her only lapse of judgment:
Fawn Hall dated Contras politician Arturo Cruz, Jr. In one mishap, she transposed the digits of a Swiss bank account number, resulting in a contribution from the Sultan of Brunei to the Contras being lost. On November 25, 1986, she smuggled confidential papers out of her employer's office hidden inside her leather boots…
Life after the hearings proved just as interesting for the late-20s Hall, who predictably pursued a modeling career and eventually met and married former post-Morrison Doors manager and archetypal L.A. music business maven Danny Sugerman. The Inside Edition clip below—hosted by a then-second-tier Bill O'Reilly—provides a snapshot of mid-'90s tabloidism as the sordid strands of politics, drugs and entertainment tangle together deliciously. Sugerman later died of lung cancer in 2005 at age 50.

Hi folks. Starting a discussion to track what religious nut jobs in the caribbean region are up to. To start it off I have a tragic story from Guyana about a 14-year old girl who had a seizure. Rather than taking her to a clinic or doctor, her mother tracked down her pastor to deliver an exorcism. After 5 hours of attempting to "cast out the demons" they finally took her to the hospital where she died 4 hours later. More details and additional links can be found here:
The pastor claimed that he did nothing wrong and "I just responded as a pastor of the church…Ungodly people would not understand certain things like driving out spirits". I'm afraid we do understand pastor, it's called delusion. Sadly criminal charges are unlikely.
Let me know your thoughts.
Any more relgious idiocy out there?

Bajan gets demoted for texting prayer
I wasn't aware people actually did this.
Wow, maybe that kind of texting works in Barbados! : )
A lesbian becomes a pastor and now wants to "convert" others to heterosexuality and Christianity. Sigh...Jamaica seems like one of the most hopeless places around, as far as religious progress is concerned. There are dissenting voices, but the threat of physical violence is always looming over their words and actions.

Oilers 2, Avalanche 3 (SO) – Game 68 – 2012-03-10 @ 1:00 PM MST – SNETW
This is an early one today. According to Jonathan Willis, over at Oilers Nation, afternoon games aren't actually that bad for us. It turns out we just suck all the time, and being particular adept at sucking at afternoon games is just an illusion. This is just any old normal game, so carry on.
Khabibulin will get the start (according to a Bob Stauffer tweet, Dubnyk pulled his groin), and the actual game lines are below. Omark will play with Hemsky and Gagner some more today. Watching the game live is a lot different than watching it on TV. There's a lot of stuff you see happening live that you don't see on TV, but I think you miss a LOT at the live game too. So I'm looking forward to seeing how Omark really plays with Hemsky today, because I didn't get a very good sense of this when I was at the game vs. the Canadiens. The "kid line" together on the road (where Renney and co. can't get their line match-ups easily) could be interesting (i.e. not good). We'll see how that goes. Renney's been sheltering them quite a bit this season, and rightfully so. But lately, I think we have had a lot of what Renney calls "passengers" on this team, so that's an even bigger story here. It would be fine for teams to check our kid line into submission if the other 2 scoring lines were actually doing their jobs properly and potting some goals.
Enjoy this one folks. I should be around in the GDT Chat, if anyone else happens by.

Volkswagen Passat Estate
The latest Volkswagen Passat Estate demonstrates the genius in 'things that just work'. Jonathan Crouch reports.
Ten Second Review
The Volkswagen Passat Estate really brings the goods in its eighth-generation guise. It's slightly shorter, but the longer wheelbase means more space for passengers and cleverer packaging ups the luggage capacity from 603 to 650-litres with all the seats in place. UK buyers get a predominantly diesel line-up, with a 240PS all-wheel drive flagship.
Utility is a surprisingly hard sell. Yes, we tend to aspire to the sort of utility we don't actually need, which is why we hanker after sports watches that can submerge to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, Arctic-spec down jackets to withstand a snow flurry in Surrey and, yes, sports utility vehicles that could cross the Darien Gap when all we really need them for is to bump over a parking kerb outside Starbucks. Genuine utility isn't quite so aspirational. Seats that you can clean a baby's worst efforts from, room in the back for a bookcase from IKEA, metronomic reliability; it's what people need but not what draws people into showrooms looking for a dotted line to sign. That's the size of the challenge facing Volkswagen's current generation Passat Estate, a car that does utility utterly brilliantly.
Driving Experience
The eighth generation Passat has sharpened up its game quite significantly and those changes are most apparent in the way the chassis and suspension combine to improve cabin refinement. The longer wheelbase has certainly helped in this regard, giving the Passat a more assured feel on the road and the stiffness of the MQB chassis lets the suspension soak up surface imperfections without having to devote resource to managing chassis flex. There's been real attention to detail in the quest for refinement. The engine is mounted on a rigid steel structure that's is claimed to further dampen vibration which, when combined with a lot of analysis of the acoustic qualities of the engine bay materials and shape, has cut engine noise significantly. Under the bonnet, there's a choice of either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed dual clutch DSG and a wide range of engines. The range opens with 125 and 150PS versions of Volkswagen's 1.4 TSI petrol unit and a 120PS 1.6-litre TDI diesel powerplant, but Volkswagen's volume seller is the 2.0-litre TDI unit with 150PS. There's a high output 190PS version of this engine offered, while at the top of the range is a 240PS 2.0-litre BiTDI engine with twin turbos. If you need some modicom of off road capability, then you might want to consider the 'Alltrack' version, which mates the 150PS and 190PS 2.0 TDI engines with a higher ride height and 4MOTION all-wheel drive. Alternatively, there's a petrol electric plug-in hybrid GTE version.
Design and Build
Although the wheelbase has grown by 79mm and the car looks bigger than before, the tape measure doesn't lie. This Passat Estate is actually a little shorter than before. It's lower too, although a few millimetres of extra width don't hurt. All-out carrying capacity has improved though. There's an extra 47-litres with the split/fold rear seats in place, with an impressive 650-litres on offer. Fold the seats down and that extends to a huge 1,780-litres. Big storage bins in the doors and centre console add everyday utility to the cabin. The dashboard is a good deal more angular than before, although Volkswagen would probably call it 'architectural' and now features a big central screen and a set of optional digital 'virtual' dials. The seats, as in most Volkswagens, initially feel unyielding but are supremely comfortable over longer distances. Three adults can fit in the back too. Materials quality in the cabin is markedly improved, the Passat now edging closer to premium German marques like Mercedes and BMW.
Market and Model
The estate models add another £1,500 to the prices of the saloons, so that means you'll need to find just under £24,000 for the entry-level 1.4-litre TSI petrol model in S trim, with the DSG 'box adding another £1,600. You'll need a budget of around £26,000 for the 120PS 1.6-litre TDI diesel which offers a six-speed manual in standard form. The 2.0 TDI 150PS unit many want starts from just under £27,000. You'll need to ascend to the GT trim level to get access to the high-power 190PS diesel engine, and that'll set you back nearly £31,000. The big banger of the range is the all-wheel drive 240PS model and this also starts at GT level, costing over £38,000 with the DSG shift. Alternatively you can pay another £1,000 for R-Line specification and a seven rather than six-speed 'box. The range runs through S, SE, SE Business, GT and R-Line trims. Avoid entry-level spec and you get LED headlights and all Passat models now get the brand's 'App-Connect' smartphone-mirroring system. Safety provision is strong too, with all variants featuring equipment such as a Post-Collision Braking System and Front Assist autonomous braking. Other common Passat features include Adaptive Cruise Control, a Pre-Crash system, Driver Profile Selection, Ergo Comfort seats and front and rear parking sensors. The brand's 'Discover Navigation' package is fitted on the 'SE Business' variants aimed at fleet drivers. Heated Alcantara seats, three-zone climate control and 18-inch wheels are standard on the GT, while the range-topping R-Line adds seems to empty the rest of the options list into the car. A BlueMotion eco version and an Alltrack estate with 4WD are also being imported, as is a GTE Plug-in Hybrid version.
Cost of Ownership
The Passat Estate is a car that sells on pragmatism, so it's a critical component of its success that the running costs of the vehicle flag up all the right numbers. Remember that despite its increasingly urbane appeal, the bulk of this car's sales will still come from fleet buyers who don't give a brass tuppence about soft-touch dashboards, USB slots or how many watts the stereo has. For them it's about bills, bills, bills; residual values, fuel economy, carbon dioxide emissions, insurance costs, servicing overhead and so on. The Passat looks like it's getting off on the right foot. Go for the 1.6-litre TDI BlueMotion diesel model and your combined cycle fuel economy could be as high as 74.3mpg, while your CO2 return would be rated at a tax-busting 96g/km of CO2: pretty good for a large estate. Even the pokier 2.0-litre TD 150PS model manages 67.3mpg and 112g/km. The cleanest option is the GTE Plug-in hybrid version, which can record CO2 emissions of just 40g/km. Aggressive pricing sees the Passat square up more or less head on with tackle like the Vauxhall Insignia and engine for engine, the Passat is a good deal more economical and cleaner to boot. Pull residual values into the equation and the Passat wins hands down.
Sooner or later, you'll come to ask yourself the inevitable question about the Volkswagen Passat Estate, "Am I about to buy a boring car?" You might well ponder whether that makes you a boring person, but that association is a fallacy. If you are fundamentally boring, a Ferrari isn't going to magically endow you a Clooney-esque louche charm. Likewise, a Passat Estate, for all its undeniable utility, doesn't make you a boring person; merely one that understands what makes a great estate car. And it is a really outstanding vehicle for family buyers. Let's face it, who needs a lumbering SUV when estate cars are this good and this useful? To put the Passat Estate into that sort of perspective, consider this. To get the same interior quality and load space with all five seats in place, you'd need an SUV like a Mercedes GLE which, incidentally, starts at over fifty big ones. So don't ask yourself if you're being boring choosing a Passat Estate. Ask instead whether all those who buy big SUVs are being hoodwinked by slick marketing. If you've got this far, you probably know the answer to that one already.

Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys have had to go a long way to get their touchdowns this season.
Their four touchdown drives this season have averaged 78 yards, including a 95-yarder for their only score in the last game.
Romo says while the goal for each drive is to score points, and there's no real thought about how far it is to the end zone, he says a lot of things have to go right to move 80 yards.
The Cowboys (1-1) have forced only one turnover so far, and they haven't gotten any big kick returns. Their average starting position for 18 possessions is their own 20. Only one drive started beyond the 30, at the 34.
Dallas plays its home opener Sunday against Tampa Bay.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection Trailer: The Arbiter Returns
This latest trailer for Halo: The Master Chief Collection features Keith David returning to one of his most iconic roles in gaming history, the Arbiter.
We get to hear the Arbiter tell his chilling tale of redemption and revenge once again in this latest trailer for Halo: The Master Chief Collection. The Master Chief anthology will take you through all the main Halo titles that were launched on the Xbox 360 and original Xbox systems. We get to see the commanding Covenant Elite of the first Halo return to the battleground in Halo 2 and 3, decked out in his golden armor. The Collection's version of Halo 2 will be getting a full visual makeover, given that the third title was released on Xbox 360 and still looks excellent, while the first title of the series was already remade with the Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
John-117 and the Arbiter return to retell the stories of the Flood, humanity and the Covenant when Halo: The Master Chief Collection launches on Nov. 11 exclusively for Xbox One. Around this time, Ridley Scott's digital feature, 'Halo: Nightfall,' is expected to debut as an Xbox Original.

The idea of a matte-black Cruze on steelies isn't so terrible, but the remainder of this Blues Brothers tableau arranged by Chevy's British division makes one glad John Belushi isn't around to experience visual dysentery.
Those who enjoy their British two-wheel-action will recognize the background as a hallowed spot in motorcycle history — like posing a Chevy Sonic with a screaming chicken on the hood in Sturgis, S.D. Oh well, it isn't as if the actual living Blues Brother has been above shame.

Is innovation just about building sleeker, faster, shiner gadgets? Or should we be looking elsewhere for inspiration, asks Tom Chatfield.
Fancy freshly brewed coffee in the morning, but don't like the inconvenience of getting out of bed? Then you might want to get your hands on the wi-fi enabled coffee maker from chip-maker Qualcomm, which allows you to drip start your brew from your phone or tablet. Perhaps you have an errant cat that you need to keep tabs on? In which case the Tagg pet tracker is for you. Or how about a walking cane with built in GPS, Bluetooth and health monitoring sensors?
All this – and more – was on offer at this week's Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. Billed as "the world's premier mobile industry event", it packed more than 70,000 people amidst row upon row of shiny new products. Alongside the more curious "innovations" was the usual barrage of high-definition screens, feature-packed smartphones and hybrid "phablets", with matching marketing superlatives. All in all, it was everything you might expect from a sector that has generated more than $1.6 trillion since last year's show.
Yet, for some, there remained something underwhelming about the jamboree: a lack of headline-grabbing devices and surprises. Such is the nature of a maturing, highly competitive industry. Developments at the forefront of the today's mobile market tend to be evolutionary rather than revolutionary, whether they are linked to the coffee pot or not. For ordinary consumers, a point is rapidly approaching at which every device does almost everything they care about. All of which begs a question: where does real innovation lie in the vast global mobile market – and where should we look if we hope to understand its future?
For me, the answers are bound up with perhaps the most intriguing product released in Barcelona boasted neither a touchscreen, nor a camera, nor apps, nor social networking. Yours for a princely 15 Euros, the phone in question was the Nokia 105 – successor to the 100-million-unit-selling 1280 model, and arguably the world's most affordable hunk of personal communications technology.
Nokia's new entry-level creation comes complete with a colour screen, FM radio, dual band reception, a selection of pre-loaded games, and (somewhat bizarrely) a speaking clock. More significantly, it also boasts 12.5 hours of talk time and 35 days of standby, an integrated flashlight, and a plastic case resistant to dust and water spillage. All of which mark it out as a tool aimed at the rapidly-expanding lower end of the global market, where concerns tend not to be so much app availability as accessing electrical power.
As Nokia themselves put it, "around 2.7 billion people around the world are yet to buy their first mobile, mainly due to financial restraints". For those who may not have access to running water or paved roads, let alone mains electricity or wired internet, a mobile phone can make a critical difference to everything from employment to education, and from banking to access to healthcare.
Little wonder that there are now more mobiles in Africa than in either Europe or America, or that they're the continent's fastest-growing technology. According to the World Bank, information technology led by mobile phones was directly involved in creating 5 million African jobs in 2012, and contributed 7% of the continent's GDP – a far higher proportion than the global average, thanks to phones offering access to services like finance, newspapers and healthcare which in other countries are provided through older "legacy" communications channels.
What's perhaps most intriguing about the Nokia 105, however, is that it won't simply be sold in developing markets. Rather, it's also set for release across Europe, the Middle East and Asia – where its month-long battery life should make it a popular backup phone, or even a backup of a backup, to be kept charged in a drawer or glove compartment for when all else fails.
Beyond backups, though, Nokia's strategy suggests an increasingly two-way street running between devices aimed at different markets – and between different visions of the roles they can play in our lives. Faster, bigger and brighter will always be a pull, no matter where you live. But perhaps more decisive in creating new patterns of use will be the physical properties imbued in these gadgets – and the patterns of behaviour emerging around them.
Consider the growth of democratic participation via mobiles, and their use as forms of ID and for electronic signatures. These are practices that are likely first to become mainstream outside of Europe and America's technology infrastructures, and then to be imported, together with new habits of action and interaction.
It is already happening with mobile money, for example. Here, the world's leading nation is not America or China, but Kenya, where even if you don't have a permanent postal address you can use services like m-Pesa (a contraction of the Swahili phrase for "mobile money") to pay securely for anything in moments – so long as you're registered with service provider Safaricom. Similar services are starting to appear in London, New York and San Francisco; but they're playing a game of catchup.
Ironically, too, the demand for constant connectivity – and the increasing unacceptability of being uncontactable even for a few hours – suggest that features like robustness and battery life will only get more significant over time; and that deploying different species of mobile device for different occasions may become normal (a travel bag packed full of spare handsets could still cost less than a new iPhone). It's not for nothing that one press release dubbed the Nokia 105 the "ultimate festival phone".
By some measures, 2013 is the year in which the number of mobile phone subscriptions in the world will overtake its 7 billion population. And, whatever the future holds, innovation seems increasingly sure to arrive from the margins. Or rather, what were once the margins are destined to become the driving force behind a new conception of mobile computing: neither a luxury nor a delicate toy, but a given feature of every single adult life.
The Nokias of this world may be creating the tools, for now, but more urgent questions than we are used to asking of our mobiles are already being answered in Africa, South America, India and other emerging markets – and are beginning to redefine the nature of citizenship, business and education alike. It's high time, in other words, to look away from "features" and towards people for whom an entire civic infrastructure might be clasped in the palm of one hand. Coffee pots and cat-tracking notwithstanding.

The non-abelian Hodge theory originates in the groundbreaking works of A. Grothendieck, P. Deligne and A. Beilinson. A major development in the field was made by C. Simpson. Together with his students and collaborators, Simpson developed the theory of geometric n-stacks in a form which is particularly well adapted to understanding non-abelian cohomology of complex algebraic varieties as well as their Hodge structures. An indication of the power of the theory is that even though the notion of a geometric n-stack was invented for the task of understanding non-abelian Hodge structures it immediately acquired a life of its own and keeps popping up in different areas of modern mathematics. Part I (March 28-30): Higgs bundles and applications Introduced by Hitchin in 1987, and with pioneering work by Corlette, Donaldson and Simpson, Higgs bundles and their moduli spaces have remarkably rich geometric properties, and unexpectedly far-reaching applications. The moduli spaces are simultaneously symplectic quotients, algebraic quotients and gauge theoretic moduli spaces. They have a natural hyperkahler structure, they form an algebraic completely integrable system (the Hitchin system), they have an interpretation as representation varieties for fundamental groups, and are central in the development of non-abelian Hodge theory. Stable Higgs bundles play a key role in the theory of variations of Hodge structures, while natural gauge theoretic equations on Higgs bundles are related to harmonic maps into homogeneous spaces. Constructions based on Higgs bundles have found application in topological quantum field theory. This workshop will be the first ever to focus explicitly on the theory and applications of Higgs bundles. The participants will include experts on Higgs bundles as well as leading specialists in areas where Higgs bundles have found useful application. The workshop will be a timely opportunity to review the gains of the last 15 years and to assess future needs and opportunities. Part II (April 1 -5): Theory of high categories and applications Among the geometric applications of the stack part of the non-abelian Hodge theory one may mention: Simpson's fundamental restriction of the class of lattices that can be fundamental groups of smooth projective manifolds; Simpson's version of secondary Kodaira-Spencer classes taking values in non-abelian cohomology; the non-abelian analogues of Griffiths (p,p)-cycle theorem and Open Orbit theorem recently proven by L. Katzarkov, T. Pantev and C. Simpson; and the notion and theory of non-abelian MHS recently introduced by L. Katzarkov, T. Pantev and C. Simpson. All these indicate that until non-abelian Hodge theory has reached is full maturity it will provide us with new restrictions on the homotopy types and the monodromy of the projective varieties. These topics as well as new application for theory of n categories to homotopy theory will be discussed. Group photo of participantsShow less

COI Funded Project: A History of Paleo-Hurricane Activity Recorded in the Stable Isotope Composition of Coral Skeleton
Project Duration: 6/1/99-12/31/00
Key Words: natural hurricane cycles, geochemical indicators, oxygen isotopes, coral reefs, Dominican Republic
Proposed ResearchHurricanes often inflict catastrophic property damage and loss of human life. In the light of recent predictions of increased hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin, as well as explosive coastal population growth, it is important to determine how these powerful storms could change in response to changes in global climate (Knutson et al. 1998, Bove et al. 1999). One approach is to examine natural cycles in hurricane frequency over several centuries and during times when the world climate was different from that of today. Reliable and comprehensive hurricane records are sparse prior to the 1940's, which is too short a time-period to allow analysis of decadal and centennial-scale trends. However, some of the numerous environmental and geochemical changes effected by hurricanes remain preserved in the geologic record. Using proxy techniques, we can extract this evidence and extend the current record of hurricane activity back through time.
This proposal describes a novel idea and a new technique to identify intense, landfalling hurricanes in the geologic record. It is based on the fact that hurricanes produce a large amount of rainfall with a very different oxygen isotope composition from that of normal summer rainfall. Hurricane rainfall is also isotopically distinct from water in lakes, rivers and streams, groundwater and the sea surface. It therefore comprises a natural isotope spike which is likely to be incorporated into the calcium carbonate skeletons of aquatic organisms. Although the isotope spike in seawater will quickly dissipate through mixing and dilution, if incorporated into skeletal carbonate it will remain preserved for centuries or even millennia as a record of each hurricanes' passage.
We predict that the CaCO3 skeletons of massive, long-lived corals inhabiting shallow reefs in the Caribbean and Gulf of Mexico contain this isotope spike and therefore preserve a record of many of the hurricanes which have made U.S. landfall over the past several centuries. We will test this prediction by measuring the isotope composition of corals from the Dominican Republic, an island hit by several intense hurricanes over the past few decades. Oxygen isotope measurements will be made on the new large format, high-resolution, high-transmission Carneca IMS 1270 ion microprobe at WHOI, an unconventional instrument for this type of analysis but ideally suited to the purpose of tracking hurricane signals which are large but of extremely short duration. Once we have demonstrated that our technique works, the project will be expanded to include other Atlantic sites and ocean basins, and extended back through the past several centuries or more. In future projects we will look for other geochemical and structural changes which together with the isotope signal will comprise a multi-variate, unambiguous "hurricane stamp" in different biological and inorganic carbonate accretions.

Author Notes: I'm addicted to markets, where I find seasonal vegetables, buy a bit of this, a bit of that and then cook from what I have. Autumn is the season for Porcini mushrooms and squash so I made this gratin with potatoes, layering the vegetables like a lasagna. The recipe looks very long but it's very easy to do. You only have to cook all the ingredients first and then layer them with the bechamel sauce and cook the gratin in the oven. You can do-ahead the vegetables and the bechamel and layer and cook the gratin when you are ready to serve. —Maria Teresa Jorge
Serves: 4
Bechamel Sauce
cup flour (30 grams)
tablespoons butter (30grams)
cups milk whole (700mililitres)
pepper white
dash nutmeg
cup Parmesan cheese grated
egg white beaten to soft peaks
Vegetables for filling
potatoes medium
Porcini mushrooms fresh medium size
accorn squash or 1 butternut squash
garlic cloves
tablespoons calamint or parsley minced
cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
tablespoons Parmesan grated
Bechamel Sauce
- Warm up the milk.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter until it starts to get a little blond. Add the flour all at once and stir continuously over low heat until well blended.
- Slowly add the warm milk, stirring constantly (I actually prefer to use a whisk, I think it helps blending better). When it's all incorporated, continue cooking for 15 minutes over low heat. You need to cook the bechamel sauce for this amount of time to cook the flour and minimize the taste of raw flour. Stir in the parmesan cheese.
- Season with salt, freshly ground white pepper, a nice dash of freshly grated nutmeg and let cool. The bechamel should remain soft, not thick.
- Beat the egg white to soft peaks and lightly fold it in the cool bechamel sauce. Set aside. If doing the bechamel sauce ahead, only beat the egg whites and add them when you are ready to make the gratin.
Vegetables for filling
- For roasting the squash: Pre-heat the oven to 300ºF with rack in the middle.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Cut off the stem ends of the squash, then cut in 4 lengthwise. Discard the seeds, then cut squash into 1/2-inch-thick slices and peel off the skin. Transfer slices to a bowl, season with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, a pinch of salt, freshly ground black pepper and toss to coat.
- Arrange in 1 layer in the lined baking tray and roast slowly until golden, about 15 minutes. Turn squash over with a spatula and cook for a further 15 minutes.
- For the Porcini mushrooms: Clean the fresh porcini mushrooms with a damp cloth and if needed a brush to get rid of any earth. Gently twist the stems from the caps. Cut the earthy part of the stem, peel the outside and then slice the stems. Cut the caps into 1/4-inch-thick slices.
- Peel and remove the inside green part of the garlics. Mince.
- In a heavy skillet over high heat, heat 4 tablespoons of extra Virgin Olive Oil. Add the mushrooms and spread them in a layer. Leave to cook without stirring until they are golden brown, then add the garlic and calamint or parsley and stir. Let cook for a further 7 minutes, always over high heat so they don't let out liquid. If you use really fresh Porcinis, they won't let out water. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside.
- For the potatoes: Bring a large pot of water to boil, season with salt.
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Using a mandolin, slice the potatoes thinly (no need to wash the potatoes. Cook 1/3 of the potato slices at a time in the boilng water and as soon as the water returns to a boil, cook for a further 2 minutes, Remove potato slices from pot and spread them on a clean tea towel. Continue cooking the remaining potatoes until you are finished, always putting them on clean tea towels to dry.
- Preparing the gratin: Spread 2 tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil on the bottom of a 7" by 11" gratin dish. Divide the potatoes in 5 equal parts, the bechamel in 5 equal parts, the Porcini in 2 equal parts and the squash in 2 equal parts.
- Layer the gratin as follows: At the bottom start with a layer of blanched potatoe slices without overlaying them. Then follow in this order over the potatoe layer - bechamel, squash (1/2), potaoes, bechamel, porcini (1/2), potatoes, bechamel, squash (1/2), potatoes, bechamel, porcini (1/2), potatoes and a final layer of bechamel.
- Smoothen the top bechamel layer with a spatula, sprinkle with the 3 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese and cook in a pre-heated oven at 350ºF for 20 minutes or until the top is golden colour. (all the ingredients are cooked previously so you only want to rewarm and blend the ingredients.
- Serve with a green salad or as a side dish with roast meat.
- Note: Calamint is a herb from the mint family and in Italy it grows wildly and is the best herb to use with Porcini mushrooms. The italian name is Nepitella. If you cannot find Calamint, use parsley as mint will overpower the porcini's taste.

Home of the Braille Bible
Category: Braille
Supporting 125 overseas projects worldwide with Braille Bibles and Braille Books in over 50 languages
Based in the UK, Compass Braille is a registered charity that has been transcribing and producing the Braille Bible and Braille books in various languages for overseas use (not for the UK) since 1990. Our Braille is used and distributed by various groups who work among people with visual disabilities in churches, schools, training programmes and community healthcare projects. Braille is fundamental and for those who read it... Braille is the door to literacy on which all education hinges.
Braille readers enjoy reading as much as sighted readers, the only difference is the availability of books. To help bring about change we produce Braille for free distribution to the end user by building partnerships with groups that run overseas programmes - details can be found here. We produce thousands of Braille Bible portions and Braille books each year but we are still far from meeting all the needs. As you read through this website you will discover what we do and the difference it makes to the lives of many people around the world. If you would like to help us in our aim to provide more Braille to those who request it then please take a look at our donations page.
Here is an extract from one Man's Story by Wycliffe Aliona: 'How I became a Teacher at a Sighted School.... I was born on 5th April 1969. I have 10 sisters and a brother, although two sisters passed away. I became totally blind due to cataracts at the age of 6 months. At the age of 4 years, I was admitted to Kibos School for the Blind to commence my basic education. Whilst in school, I made new friends from all walks of life. I was able to learn English, Kiswahili and music Braille notation as well as daily living skills and mobility. I also learned Christian faith and many important lessons taught in all schools in Kenya. In 1987 I passed my Kenya Certificate of Primary Education and joined Thika High School for the Blind in 1988. During my life in high school, I was taught French Braille, piano and typing. In 1990, I received Jesus as my personal Saviour and became a very active Christian.
We also welcome enquiries from individuals who want advice about obtaining Braille. Unfortunately, we can only meet direct requests for Braille when funds and transcription of the relevant language are in place.

Shocking Matte Lips & Glittering Lids at NYFW
If day one of New York Fashion Week is an indicator of what's to come this month—get excited. We were ready to declare the bright tomato lips and iridescent lids at Creatures of the Wind our go-to spring look when shots of the glittering, pigment-soaked eyes at Adam Selman's debut presentation started hitting Instagram last night. Now we can't choose between the two—and there are still 30 days of fashion month left!
At the former, Nars' Director of Global Artistry James Boehmer took his inspiration from American artist Eugene von Bruenchenhein, the photographer from whom Creatures' designers, Shane and Chris, took theirs. "The real statement of the makeup look is the satin, textured, orange lip," says Boehmer. "It contrasts the colour and finish of the opalescent-textured eye." So put the brand's Satin Lip Pencil ($25) in Timanfaya on your shopping list for next spring. (Until it's released, try layering the Lipgloss ($25) in Triple X on top of Nars' Semi-Matte Lipstick ($26) in Heat Wave.) As for those shimmering eyes, Boehmer circled the entire eye with the Duo Eyeshadow ($34) in Iceland. We'd say it was mermaid-inspired, but then Selman happened.
So who is Selman? He's the designer behind Rihanna's collaboration with British high street brand River Island last year—and the genius behind many of her bespoke costumes. He showed his debut collection in New York last night, a sporty array of swimsuits and crop tops. Makeup artist Aaron de Mey was inspired by '70s supermodels, gravitating towards colour, texture, and like Boehmer, metallics. De Mey created a range of bold, upturned eye colours—purple, green, blue—complemented by peachy cheeks and lips. Our favourite, the purple, came from M.A.C.'s Paint Stick ($21) in Rich Purple layered under the brand's Eye Shadow ($15) in Shadowy Lady. (More interested in the green or blue? Swap in Landscape Green and Bottle Green or Marine Ultra and Freshwater in the same formulas, then top with the brand's Glitter ($21) in Reflects Turquatic or Emerald, accordingly.) He added an iridescent sheen to each shade with M.A.C.'s Pigment ($21) in Rose Gold, pulling the shine onto their brow bones and pouts with their Cream Colour Base ($20) in Pearl and Creamshine Glass ($20) in Richer, Lusher respectively. And that vibrant blush? M.A.C.'s Powder Blush ($21) in Peachykeen. The future is looking bright.

A stand out boat in so many ways, the Contest 52MC is Contest Yacht's first ever motor boat and a spectacularly successful design. The press can't get enough of her, loving her looks and her handling which they say astounds, her innovative, half-planing hull riding as though on rails, tracking straight and staying flat right through the tightest of turns. With power options from twin 350hp to 550hp diesels she's equally comfortable at 8 or 28 knots, and soft rides through the nastiest chop. And she's a dry boat, her pronounced spray rails cascading the breaking water away.
The joint creation of longstanding design partner Georg Nissen, the well know motor boat engineering and designer company Vripack and the yard's own in-house design team, the 52MC is also an unusually versatile performance platform, available in sedan, open sport and a flybridge version. Interior layouts are customisable, too, building out of a raised saloon and two heads, three sleeping cabin standard plan.

Multiple Geography DeploymentYou can now provision the proxy and portal of your API Management service in multiple geo-regions simultaneously. This can reduce latency for your international customers while spreading the load to multiple instances. You can switch to the Premium tier on the Scale tab of Azure Management Portal's view of your instance. Once done you can choose the number of instances for each region you want API Management to be available in. Learn more about how to deploy to multiple Azure regions. To maximize the benefit of deploying to multiple regions you can enable caching on each region to get a de-facto API CDN. This would avoid expensive round-trips for remote regions and greatly improve response time for users.
Azure Virtual Network / VPN supportConnectivity to on-premise backends was previously achievable by securing the connection using mutual certificates. If you are using the Premium tier now you can create an Azure Virtual Network or ExpressRoute and connect to your backend through it as an alternative. You will find the settings for it in the Configure tab of your instance's Azure Management portal view. Note that if you have deployed to multiple regions you will have to pick a virtual network for each region. Learn more about setting up VPN connections.
Azure Active Directory supportThe API Management developer portal already supports user authentication via Facebook, Twitter, Google or Microsoft accounts in addition to basic username and password. Today we are enabling Azure Active Directory as an additional identity provider. This enables leveraging existing corporate credentials to provide access to the portal and moreover using AD group membership to gate access to individual APIs (via their presence in a product). It is now possible to disable basic authentication for this particular scenario.
You can also enable multiple AAD tenants if needed to support multiple organizations.Learn how to get started with AAD. For more tutorials and how-to guides on API Management, visit our documentation pages.

Author Notes: So good, quite time-consuming, very much worth it.
The marjolaine was made famous by Fernand Point in Vienne, France, writes David Lebovitz. I found impressive photos and a beautiful painting of Point when I entered him in Google search. This recipe is adapted from Lebovitz's book, Room For Dessert. The changes include an all-almond meringue with altered proportions. The almond candy is simplified and lends a first hint of lemon. The ganache with citrus stirred in is very fruity. —HCR
Serves: 14
3/4 cups + 2 tablespoons
cup finely ground almonds, optionally toasted
teaspoons cornstarch
egg whites, at room temperature
pinch of
cream of tartar
pinch of
cup sliced or chopped almonds, toasted
6 + 1
tablespoons lemon juice
finely grated zest of 2
ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2/3 + 3/4
cups crème fraîche
cup heavy cream
tablespoon cognac or brandy
In This Recipe
- For the nut meringue: Set the oven rack in the bottom half of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 14 by 14-inch baking pan with a baking mat or well-buttered parchment paper. Combine the ground almonds, 3/4 cups of sugar and cornstarch. Whisk the egg whites and the cream of tartar until frothy. Add the pinch of salt and continue whisking until they form soft, glossy and slightly droopy peaks. Fold the nut mixture into the egg whites. Evenly smooth the batter onto the baking sheet. Bake for 25 minutes. The meringue should be pale or golden brown and feel a bit dry when you touch it. Cool.
- For the slivered or chopped almonds: Preheat the oven to 400°F. Combine the almonds with 2 tablespoons of sugar and just 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Spoon them onto a lined baking sheet and bake for about 7 minutes until golden. Cool and chop into small pieces.
- For the ganache: Heat 2/3 cups of crème fraîche in a saucepan just until it boils. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate, stirring until it is melted and combined. Add the zest of 2 lemons and 4 - 6 tablespoons of juice to taste. Set this aside so it can thicken slightly.
- For the creams: Whip 3/4 cups of crème fraîche, cream and sugar until it holds its shape. Into 2/3 cups of this mixture, fold the baked and chopped almond candy. Add cognac to the remaining cream mixture. Whip again if it gets to soft. Refrigerate both mixtures until ready to use.
- Assembly: Invert the meringue into another baking pan. Carefully peel off the baking mat or paper, maybe using a spatula or knife if it's sticky. If it breaks it can be patched together when assembling the cake. Cut the meringue into 4 square quarters. Place 1 piece of meringue onto a flat plate or sheet. Spread a good layer of ganache onto it. Cover with a second piece of meringue. Spread the cream with the almonds onto this layer. Add another layer of meringue. Top with cognac cream. Finish with last piece of meringue. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Before serving, trim rough edges of the marjolaine and gently reheat ganache over warm water so it reaches a spreadable consistency. Spread and smooth it over top and sides of the cake. When slicing, use a serrated knife and dip it in hot water before each cut. Keeps for several days in the refrigerator.
