Cashew Gateau With Coffee Cardamom Mousse
Thank you all for the very nice birthday wishes for my mother, she truly appreciated the thought. Funny story about birthdays in my family and birthdays phone calls especially: my grandmother had the habit to see whom of her children would call her first to wish her a happy birthday. When I called my mom on Tuesday, I immediately said "I know I am not the first but I am the furthest…that's got to count!".
Anyways, back to today's dessert… I can't plan..Let me rephrase this: I can't plan to have a distraction free day because we all know that concept never truly works. I had planned yesterday to be a writing day punctuated by a few walks with the dogs, a couple of play breaks with them and the neighbors' kids, no grocery shopping, no baking commitment, no visits, no errands…just me and my thoughts. Ha! I should have checked the weather channel because as soon as I woke up the rain had decided to fall hard and steady, which meant no walks with the dogs, no play time nextdoor. Thus I had two crazy monkeys on my hands who all of a sudden had decided to team up to tear the house apart when I was not looking. I am still laughing when I think about the tricks those two played on me!
It all started when I was sipping my coffee looking at the creek and the rain…and the high tide…tidal creek during high rain equals a big puddle in your yard and a creek boat (think small fishing tin there people….we're not the yacht type) that threatens to float away. B. went outside to tighten the rope, the dogs followed and found the yard, sorry puddle…and all hell broke lose. They played fetch with each other for thirty minutes and all we could do was watch. Watch them turn from beige to black really…Two bathes and numerous towels later and everybody settled down…a little. By then I had lost my writing mojo and decided to bake instead. At least it was easier to stop their shenanigans with a whisk in my hand than a thought up in the air.
Baking did take place but not in the case of this cake. How can I make a cake without turning the oven on? Recycling….When we did the last Daring Bakers challenge I did the whole batter but baked a 6 inch cake for the challenge and a 8 inch cake that I froze, not really sure of what I would use it for. I got a call from a friend Tuesday morning and told her to come by meet the puppy later that day over coffee and cake. I thawed the cashew gateau and started working on a filling when she called to cancel: her best laid plans got also derailed that day. We reset for the day after (gosh I have never written anything with that much timeline involved!), which turned out great given the way my rainy day was shaping up.
For the cake I used pastry rings to cut out 4 rounds into the cake and split those minis in half. I used one half at the bottom of each ring, topped them with a simple coffee and cardamom mousse, (you might have extra mousse in which case I recommend you divide it into glasses and eat as is. It is easier to make the full amount and have extra than the opposite. It is really good on its own), one more layer of cake and let them set in the fridge overnight. Wednesday morning I topped each mini cake with a dark chocolate ganache. The inspiration for the caramel stained "glass" panel comes from my grandmother (same one!) who used to say "I don't care if it rains as long as there is some sun and some colors somewhere". I feel the exact same way but since there was no sun in sight I decided there would be colors then! I go a lucky break of 20 minutes to take some pictures and walk the crazy monkeys. Not too bad a day after all.
Cashew Gateau With Coffee Cardamom Mousse:
Serves 4
For the gateau:
3/4 cups cashew, toasted/skinned
1/3 cup cake flour, unsifted
1 Tbsp. cornstarch
3 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar, divided (2Tb & 6 Tb)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
½ tsp. grated lemon rind
2 lg. egg whites
2 Tb melted butter, cooled
Position rack in the lower 3rd of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Grease and flour a 8" X 4" inch round springform pan. Using a food processor, process nuts, cake flour, and cornstarch for about 30 seconds. Then, pulse the mixture about 10 times to get a fine, powdery mixture. While you want to make sure there aren't any large pieces, don't over-process. Set aside.
Put the yolks in the bowl of an electric mixer, with the paddle attachment, and beat until thick and light in color, about 3-4 minutes on med-high speed. Slowly, add 8 Tb of sugar. It is best to do so by adding a tablespoon at a time, taking about 3 minutes for this step. When finished, the mixture should be ribbony. Blend in the vanilla and grated lemon rind. Remove and set aside.
Place egg whites in a large, clean bowl of the electric mixer with the whisk attachment and beat on medium speed, until soft peaks. Increase to med-high speed and slowly add the remaining 2 Tb of sugar, over 15-20 seconds or so. Continue to beat for another ½ minute. Fold the yolk mixture to the whites. Pour the warm butter in a liquid measure cup (or a spouted container). Put the nut meal in a mesh strainer (or use your hand – working quickly) and sprinkle it in about 2 tablespoons at a time – folding it carefully. Be sure to exclude any large chunks/pieces of nuts. Again, work quickly and carefully as to not deflate the mixture. When all but about 2 Tbsp. of nut meal remain, quickly and steadily pour the warm butter over the batter. Then, with the remaining nut meal, fold the batter to incorporate. With a rubber spatula, transfer the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the surface with the spatula or back of a spoon. Tap the pan on the counter to remove air bubbles and bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes. You'll know the cake is done when it is springy to the touch and it separates itself from the side of the pan. Remove from oven and allow to stand for 5 minutes. Invert onto a cake rack sprayed with nonstick coating, removing the pan. Cool the cake completely.
For the coffee cardamom mousse:
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/2 cup espresso or strong coffee
1/4 cup sugar
1 tsp powdered unflavored gelatin, softened in 1 tablespoon cold water
1 cup heavy cream, cold
In a mediu saucepan, bring the coffee, sugar and cardamom to a simmer. Remove from the heat and stir in the gelatin until it is completely dissolved. Let cool to room temperature. In the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk attachment or with hand held beaters with balloon whisks, whipe the cream just until it holds stiff peaks, do not overbeat or it will become grainy and separate. Add a small amount first to the coffee mixture to loosen up the batter, slowly fold the rest of the whipped cream. Do not let it set completely before using it for the cake filling (have your cake baked, cooled, and cut before using)
For the chocolate ganache:
1/2 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup chopped chocolate or chocolate chips (about 6 oz or 180 gr)
In a medium saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer, remove from the heat and add the chocolate. Let it sit for 5 minutes so that the chocolate starts to melt then slowly stir the cream and chocolate until they come together to make the ganache. Let cool slightly before using it over the cakes.
To assemble:
Cut 4 rounds out of the 8 inch cake and cut each round in half. Using 4 3 inch round pastry rings, place a cake round at the bottom of each ring, top with about 1/4 cup of coffee mousse, top with another cake round and let sit overnight. In the morning, make the ganache. Line a sheet pan with a sheet of parchment paper, position a cooling rack or a grid over it, position your cake over the grid and slowly pour the ganache over all the cakes to cover the completely. Rap the sheet over the counter top (be gentle, no jumping cakes allowed!), to let the ganache fall evenly. Let them set in the fridge for a couple of hours. You can dust them with a good coat of cocoa powder if desired like I did here.
For the stained glass caramel windows:
250gr sugar (1 cup)
37.5 ml water (35 gr) (2 1/2 Tb)
various food colorings
Line a baking sheet with parchement paper. Drop a few drops of food coloring onto the paper. Do not touch them, sirl them or move them.
In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and water, do not stir and bring to a boil over high heat. Continue to boil until the caramel reaches the soft crack stage or 140C – 285F on a candy thermometer (do not let it turn color). Immediately pour over the parchment paper with the food coloring. Take the baking sheet with your hands and move it left to right, right to left to move and swirl the colors. Let set until completely cooled. Break pieces of your desired size to decorate the cakes with.

Good Oil in Sumatra
Oil palm plantations have expanded rapidly over the past two decades in Indonesia, clearing large swathes of natural forest and critical peatland areas. Promises of economic development and jobs to local communities have not come true for many. An innovative, independent small-holder approach to palm oil production has delivered social and economic benefits and helped protect the remaining forest. The Dosan community has committed to protecting its forests and moving to improved environmental management practices that include zero burning, no herbicide use and improved water management to maintain the peatland water system.

Nokia Drive for Windows Phone 7 updated: better route options now available
We reported the other day on a new update for Nokia Drive+ Beta but it looks like Nokia haven't forgotten about Windows Phone 7 users.
Arguably the more stable of the two versions, the Windows Phone 7 app performs like a champ and Nokia have now included the options for tailoring routes more effectively. Read on past the break to find out more.
When Windows Phone 8 was announced Nokia pledged their continued support for their users still on Windows Phone 7. The older version of the OS will continue to play an important role in the eco system and introduce new users to the platform. When it comes to Nokia apps, there really isn't anything out there that can claim to be quite as useful as Nokia Drive.
Now that the app hits version 3.1 it has gained the ability to better plan a route ahead. This means being able to switch off or on various routing types. These include Motorways, Toll Roads, Ferries, Tunnels, Unpaved Roads and Motorail Trains. You'll also now have the ability to choose what type of route optimisation you require. You can pick between Faster Route, Shorter Route or the most economical route.
When Nokia created Drive for Windows Phone 8 they had to build the app from the ground up, this has led to some features from one version being missing in the other. Drive on Windows Phone 7 lacks the locate button on the map screen to centre the view on the current position, while Drive on Windows Phone 8 lacks the My Commute feature. We'd like to see better parity with these versions sooner rather than later.
We're really glad to see Drive get this nice update with routing options, more evidence (if any more were needed) that Nokia are keeping to their promise. Using Drive on Windows Phone 7? We'd like to hear what you think of the update, please let us know in the comments below.
Download the app from the Marketplace here - this will trigger the update if you have an older version installed.

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Energy experts say the boom in Marcellus Shale natural gas production will slow this year but not because there's any lack of supply.
The slowdown is happening because drillers are waiting for pipelines to expand, new markets to develop and wholesale prices to rise.
"The hiring has tapered off. What we see is a holding pattern," said Kathryn Klaber, the president of the Marcellus Shale Coalition, an industry group.
That's a big difference from the last four years, when production doubled or tripled every 12 months and companies spent tens of billions of dollars on leases, well drilling, and related infrastructure.
Klaber said companies are still confident there's money to be made, since independent analysts say that the Marcellus is the most economical place to drill for shale gas in the nation.
The Marcellus Shale is a gas-rich formation deep underground that extends across Pennsylvania, West Virginia, New York, Ohio and Maryland, but most of the production is in Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Bentek, a Colorado company that analyzes energy trends, said figures from the pipelines that take gas out of the Marcellus show that Pennsylvania production rose to about 2 trillion cubic feet in 2012 — roughly double the prior year. Production from West Virginia was about 700 billion cubic feet in 2012, bringing the total Marcellus output to about 2.8 trillion cubic feet.
That's about 10 percent of the nation's output of natural gas. Bentek estimates that Marcellus production will grow by about 30 percent this year, though numerous factors could affect the final number. One billion cubic feet of gas is equivalent to about 180,000 barrels of crude oil.
The official 2012 production figures for Pennsylvania and West Virginia haven't yet been released by those states, but Bentek figures are considered very reliable by government and industry sources.
Wall Street analyst Manuj Nikhanj, the head of energy research for ITG Investments, agreed with Klaber's assessments.
"I do think we're going to see growth in 2013, but the rate of growth will slow," Nikhanj said. But he added that drillers are getting "better and better" at improving the output for each well.
In 2011 and 2012, there was a highly publicized debate over the potential of the Marcellus Shale, with some claiming that the industry had exaggerated the reserves. But actual production figures have mostly put that debate to rest. When serious well drilling started in Pennsylvania in 2008, output barely registered on a national level. Now, it's grown to be the nation's most productive gas field.
Now, Klaber and Nikhanj said the bigger questions are over how fast pipelines and new markets for Marcellus gas can expand.
Since the price of natural gas has been relatively low, many companies operating in the Marcellus began to drill wells but have delayed putting them into production for now, Klaber said. "There's a staggering number of wells waiting to go online," she said.
Nikhanj estimated that 700 wells have been drilled but not hooked into production and thousands of wells have been issued permits but haven't begun drilling.

The Zipper is an idiom that uses the idea of "context" to the means of manipulating locations in a data structure. Zipper monad is a monad which implements the zipper for binary trees.
Sometimes you want to manipulate a location inside a data structure, rather than the data itself. For example, consider a simple binary tree type:
data Tree a = Fork (Tree a) (Tree a) | Leaf a
and a sample tree t:
t = Fork (Fork (Leaf 1)
(Leaf 2))
(Fork (Leaf 3)
(Leaf 4))
Each subtree of this tree occupies a certain location in the tree taken as a whole. The location consists of the subtree, along with the rest of the tree, which we think of the context of that subtree. For example, the context of
Leaf 2
in the above tree is
Fork (Fork (Leaf 1) @)
(Fork (Leaf 3) (Leaf 4))
where @ marks a hole: the spot that the subtree appears in. This is the way we shall implement a tree with a focus. One way of expressing this context is as a path from the root of the tree to the hole (to which the required subtree will be attached). To reach our subtree, we needed to go down the left branch, and then down the right one. Note that the context is essentially a way of representing the tree, "missing out" a subtree (the subtree we are interested in).
A naive implementation of the context, inspired directly by the graphical representation might be to use Tree (Maybe a)
instead of Tree a
. However, this would lose an essential point: in any given context, there is exactly one hole.
Therefore, we will represent a context as follows:
data Cxt a = Top | L (Cxt a) (Tree a) | R (Tree a) (Cxt a)
L c t
represents the left part of a branch of which the right part was t
and whose parent had context c
. The R
constructor is similar. Top
represents the top of a tree.
- In fact, this is equivalent to a list, whose elements are the appropriate collateral trees, each element labeled with the information which direction was chosen:
type Context a = [(Direction, Tree a)]
data Direction = Lft | Rght
- We chose to propagate from the hole towards the root. This is an independent idea of the above considerations: it is not the unicity of the hole that forced us to do so. It is simply more efficient if we want to define operations later for a tree with a focus (move focus left, right, up).
- Note that in the original paper, Huet dealt with B-trees (ones where nodes have arbitrary numbers of branches), so at each node, a list is used instead of the two (Tree a) parameters to represent children. Later we shall see that the solution of the problem can be formalized in a general way which covers solutions for both kinds of trees, as special cases.
Using this datatype, we can rewrite the sample context above in proper Haskell:
R (Leaf 1) (L Top (Fork (Leaf 3) (Leaf 4)))
Note that the context is actually written by giving the path from the subtree to the root (rather than the other way round):
Top |
Or the more deconstructed representation:
where , are the appropriate correspondents of the , of the previous image. It is the empty list that represents .
Now we can define a tree location:
type Loc a = (Tree a, Cxt a)
thus, a tree with a focus (drawn here as a tree with a marked subtree) shall be represented as "mounting" the focus (a tree) into the hole of the appropriate context.
Now, we can define some useful functions for manipulating locations in a tree:
left :: Loc a -> Loc a
left (Fork l r, c) = (l, L c r)
right :: Loc a -> Loc a
right (Fork l r, c) = (r, R l c)
top :: Tree a -> Loc a
top t = (t, Top)
up :: Loc a -> Loc a
up (t, L c r) = (Fork t r, c)
up (t, R l c) = (Fork l t, c)
upmost :: Loc a -> Loc a
upmost l@(t, Top) = l
upmost l = upmost (up l)
modify :: Loc a -> (Tree a -> Tree a) -> Loc a
modify (t, c) f = (f t, c)
It is instructive to look at an example of how a location gets transformed as we move from root to leaf. Recall our sample tree t. Let's name some of the relevant subtrees for brevity:
t = let tl = Fork (Leaf 1) (Leaf 2)
tr = Fork (Leaf 3) (Leaf 4)
in Fork tl tr
Then to reach the location of Leaf 2
(right . left . top) t
= (right . left) (t, Top)
= right (tl, L Top tr)
= (Leaf 2, R (Leaf 1) (L Top tr))
To reach that location and replace Leaf 2
by Leaf 0
modify ((right . left . top) t) (\_ -> Leaf 0)
= ...
= (Leaf 0, R (Leaf 1) (L Top tr))
Afterwards some may like to continue walking to other parts of the new tree, in which case continue applying left
, right
, and up
Some others may like to retrieve the new tree (and possibly forget about locations), in which case upmost
is useful:
(fst . upmost) (modify ((right . left . top) t) (\_ -> Leaf 0))
= (fst . upmost) (Leaf 0, R (Leaf 1) (L Top tr))
= fst (Fork (Fork (Leaf 1)
(Leaf 0))
, Top)
= Fork (Fork (Leaf 1)
(Leaf 0))
There's a principled way to get the necessary types for contexts and the context filling functions, namely by differentiating the data structure. Some relevant papers.
For an actual implementation in Generic Haskell, see the paper Type-indexed data types by Ralf Hinze, Johan Jeuring and Andres Löh, or a similar paper Generic Haskell: Applications by Ralf Hinze and Johan Jeuring
Alternative formulation
The dual of Huet zipper is generic zipper -- which is a derivative of a traversal function rather than that of a data structure. Unlike Huet zipper, generic zipper can be implemented once and for all data structures, in the existing Haskell. Generic Zipper and its applications

GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney rolled out his running mate Saturday, Aug. 11, in Virginia. Here are eight things you should know about Paul Ryan, the young, outspoken Congressman from Wisconsin.
(PHOTOS: Paul Ryan's Life and Career)
He's not your typical Congressman.
"I'm kind of a homebody," he told TIME in 2010. "Half the reason I'm not in leadership is because I don't want to spend my weekends flying around the country campaigning and raising money. I want to spend my weekends at home with my little ones. The other half of the reason — I like policy over politics."
He's health-conscious.
At the age of 16, Ryan found his father dead of a heart attack at home. Both his grandfather and his great-grandfather died of heart disease in their 50s. Ryan, 42, is a health freak who runs daily grueling P90X classes for members and staff at the congressional gym. He was voted "biggest gym rat" by an anonymous poll of congressional staffers by Washingtonian magazine in 2010. Ryan himself has said his mortality is partly what has limited his ambitions.
He came of age in the fiscal right wing of the GOP.
As a young man, Ryan held numerous amusing summer jobs, including a stint as an Oscar Mayer salesman in which he drove a Wienermobile. He envisioned eventually going to the University of Chicago for an advanced degree in economics and becoming an economist/academic, but he says he "kept getting lured into politics." He married his two interests by working for Jack Kemp and William Bennett at Empower America, where he learned about supply-side economics — and the politics that go with it. He later worked as a legislative aid to Kansas Senator Sam Brownback, during which time he waited tables and worked as a fitness trainer to make ends meet, before returning to Wisconsin to run for office.
(MORE: The Romney-Ryan Ticket Unveiled in Virginia)
He married into politics but across the aisle.
Ryan's married to Janna Little Ryan, the niece of former Senator David Boren, an Oklahoma Democrat. Janna has huge family ties to Southern politics. They met while he was a staffer on the Hill. Together they have three children: two boys, ages 7 and 8, and a girl, age 9. Ryan recently began teaching his eldest, Liza, the art of bow-hunting deer. Ryan is also an avid fisherman of walleye and muskie.
He rose through the political ranks quickly.
Elected to his first term in 1998, Ryan vaulted over a dozen more-senior Republicans to become ranking member on the Budget Committee in 2007. (He became chairman when the Republicans won the House at the end of 2010.) Ryan had planned for a long time to produce his own sweeping budget plan, but he lacked the "computer power" to crunch the numbers until he became ranking member. He spent much of 2007 working on what came to be known as his Road Map. Meanwhile, his first alternative budgets, in 2009 and 2010, were test runs for what eventually became a centerpiece of the Republican platform.
His vision for the U.S. is very controversial.
While much of the Tea Party ran in 2010 on a promise to enact Ryan's plan, the Ryan budget remains contentious. Democrats have attacked it for voucherizing Medicare, and in spring 2011, then presidential candidate Newt Gingrich got himself into trouble with conservatives when he dubbed the plan "radical." The GOP elite's championing of the plan showed how the party had moved from the Bush era to the Tea Party era. "I fought for budget-process reforms and was thwarted by leaders in my own party," Ryan told TIME in a 2009 interview. "I fought for earmark reform and was fought by leaders of my own party. Our party dropped the ball on fiscal issues. That doesn't mean we should just stop trying for fiscal discipline. We need to reform our own party so that we don't repeat that mistake."
(MORE: A History of Vice-Presidential Picks, from the Pages of TIME)
He's less conservative on social issues.
Ryan generally avoids social issues like gay rights, a fact that has sometimes gotten him into trouble with conservative activists. In 2007 he voted for a bill that would ban employment discrimination based on sexual orientation. He explained that his vote was because he had friends "who didn't choose to be gay … they were just created that way." He later lamented that he "took a lot of crap" for that stance. He's also backed versions of the Dream Act, and he voted for the auto bailout — a smart move given his representation of a district that lost nearly 17,000 jobs after GM and Chrysler shuttered facilities there.
He's from a swing district.
Ryan's congressional district in southern Wisconsin voted for Dukakis, Clinton and Obama — the latter, 51% to McCain's 47% in 2008. But Ryan usually wins by large margins; he took 68% of the vote in 2008. The district's economy is recovering from the Great Recession, as wealthy citizens from Chicago and Milwaukee have flocked to the region's picturesque lake shores and gentrified urban areas, where lofts and art studios have replaced factories. It remains the home of S.C. Johnson and a few other big manufacturers. Its median annual income is $56,833, and it is 82% white.

Published 12:00 am Sunday, March 17, 2013
WASHINGTON — Mariska Hargitay, better known as "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" Detective Olivia Benson, is the human intersection of life and art.
Precisely, the line between the fictional role she plays and the role she has carved out in real life is approximately a hair's breadth. The passion television viewers witness on the popular crime show — the rage, the disgust, that curled lip, the twitching eye — may be part of the actor's toolbox, but it's no act.
Philosophically, at least, Olivia and Mariska (pronounced Marish-ka) are one and the same. This much was clear when Hargitay visited Washington recently to launch her "No More" campaign related to her victims' advocacy group, the Joyful Heart Foundation (joyfulheartfoundation.org).
"No More" means no more bystanders to crime, no more silence about domestic violence and sexual assault. The motto comes with an icon — a blue donut, more or less — that Hargitay hopes will become a unifying symbol as familiar as breast cancer's pink ribbon.
Hargitay's transformation from an actor into a powerful voice for victims began about 15 years ago when she began researching the role that would make her a household name. In the process, she stumbled upon the appalling statistics about sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse. Especially offensive was the fact that hundreds of thousands of rape kits remained unprocessed.
This meant that hundreds of thousands of victims, mostly women, were never taken seriously or given an opportunity for justice — and their rapists were free to rape again. Why is there no outrage?
Hargitay set about to make her own outrage known, creating her foundation, which advocates for justice and the sort of prosecutorial zeal one wishes weren't only on TV. Speaking at the National Press Club, she urged an end to the silence that feeds shame and posed the question: "Think how helpful it is to a criminal if we refuse to talk about it?"
A rape kit, as fans of "L&O: SVU" know, is the evidence collected during a medical exam following a rape, including DNA swabs. Typically, it costs $1,200-$1,500 to process a kit, hence, in part, the backlog. But more to the point, a rape kit takes several hours and is both invasive and humiliating for someone who already has endured a violent attack. This alone should be sufficient to dissuade those who assume that many rapes are not "legitimate." Why, otherwise, would anyone put themselves through such a hideous ordeal?
As Hargitay put it, the rape victim's body is a living, breathing, feeling crime scene. "After a four-to-six hour invasive exam, you'd think they'd be eager to process." Instead, old attitudes persist, relegating rape kits to cold storage and awarding rapists free passes.
Hargitay, who became emotional several times during her luncheon talk, conceded that the characters on her show are not typical. The sympathy, empathy, psychological sophistication and compassion displayed toward fictional victims are also mostly fictional. More often, there is only passing regard for real women alleging rape, some of whom may be perceived (because of behavior or dress) to have been responsible for whatever happened.
In a time of cost-cutting and smaller staffs — not to mention other immediate cases — it is difficult to argue that old rape kits urgently need to be processed. But Hargitay's persistence has paid off. In Detroit, where 11,000 rape kits have been collecting dust for as long as 20 years, 23 serial rapists have been identified from the recent processing of just 400 kits. Three resulted in convictions, according to Wayne County prosecutor Kym Worthy.
New York — which has a DNA databank that, thanks to Hargitay's lobbying efforts, includes samples from anyone convicted of a crime — has cleared its backlog of 17,000 kits. The result: an arrest rate that leapt from 40 percent to 70 percent, according to Hargitay. Similarly, Los Angeles has cleared its 12,669 kits.
There are still tens of thousands to go, but Hargitay has succeeded in demonstrating that one ticked-off cop can make a difference — even if she is only a TV cop. These days, the pretend character is learning from the real-life woman who plays her. Hargitay admitted that what you see on television is often informed by the work of her foundation. The lesson she hopes to convey is as no-nonsense as the lip-curling Olivia Benson: Rape victims are victims, period. And perps will be prosecuted.
But first, America has to say, "no more."

Morally Questionable Go-To Weapon
U.S. drone attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries may be militarily effective, but they are killing innocent civilians in a way that is obscene and immoral. I'm afraid that ignoring this ugly fact makes Americans complicit in murder.U.S. drone attacks in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries may be militarily effective, but they are killing innocent civilians in a way that is obscene and immoral. I'm afraid that ignoring this ugly fact makes Americans complicit in murder.
It is understandable why President Obama has made drone attacks his go-to weapon in the fight against terrorists and the Taliban. Armed, pilotless aircraft allow the CIA and the military to target individuals in enemy strongholds without putting U.S. lives at risk. But efficacy is not legitimacy, and I don't see how drone strikes can be considered a wholly legitimate way to wage war.
This is an unpopular view in Washington — especially at the White House, where Obama and his aides have done much to erase the stain on the nation's honor left by the excesses of George W. Bush's Global War on Terrorism. It is to his great credit that Obama ended torture, shut down the CIA's secret overseas prisons and made a good-faith effort to close the detention center at Guantanamo.
But Obama has greatly expanded the use of drones, and his version of the terror war looks a lot like a campaign of assassination.
Even if the intelligence agents and military officers who operate the drones have perfect knowledge — meaning they are absolutely certain the target is a dangerous enemy — and fire the drones' missiles with perfect accuracy, this amounts to summary execution. Is such killing morally defensible?
To defend enforcing a death sentence with no due process, at a minimum you have to accept that the fight against terrorists is properly defined as a war. Obama sharply questioned that conceptual framework when he was running for president in 2008; these days, he uses the word "war" frequently. But I have never heard him embrace the theory of a global Manichaean conflict in which, as Bush said, "either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists."
Under what theory, then, does the president order drone strikes in countries such as Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia, with which we are not at war? It would seem the definition of "enemy" is, basically, "someone the United States decides to target."
I have considerable faith in Obama to make careful, sober decisions about who should be considered a targetable enemy, and I know he agonizes over pulling the trigger. But that is cold comfort. Bush's theory of war was clear and morally indefensible. Obama's is fuzzy and morally ambiguous.
All this is true even if the drones kill only their targets. But of course there is "collateral damage."
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has threatened not to sign a long-term security agreement with the United States because of a drone attack last week that killed a 2-year-old child and wounded two women. Karzai is a corrupt and unreliable ally, and this is just the latest in a string of reasons he has given for vacillating on the pact. But he has good reason to complain about this atrocity — as was acknowledged when the top U.S. general in Afghanistan offered a formal apology.
How many civilians have been killed in drone strikes? The Obama administration refuses to say but insists that the toll, whatever it may be, is declining because of stricter rules on choosing targets.
In Afghanistan, it is hard to attempt a count because there is an actual war going on, with no agreement on who qualifies as a civilian. The Los Angeles Times wrote recently about a Sept. 7 drone strike in Kunar Province. U.S. officials told the paper that 11 people died, most of them Taliban fighters; grieving local residents, however, insisted that 14 civilians had been killed. When does a village cease being a village and become a "Taliban stronghold"? When we say so, apparently.
The nonpartisan New America Foundation, which has attempted to keep a running tally, says drone strikes have killed between 258 and 307 civilians in Pakistan, and between 66 and 68 in Yemen. Those numbers may seem small but each victim was a human being who posed no threat to the United States or its interests — in some cases a child who was here one minute, full of laughter and life's promise, and gone the next.
I believe historians will look at Obama's second term and see the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, despite its rocky launch, as a great moral triumph. I fear they will see the drone war as a great moral failure.

General Questions
Q: What is CUDA?
CUDA® is a parallel computing platform and programming model that enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU).
Since its introduction in 2006, CUDA has been widely deployed through thousands of applications and published research papers, and supported by an installed base of hundreds of millions of CUDA-enabled GPUs in notebooks, workstations, compute clusters and supercomputers. Applications used in astronomy, biology, chemistry, physics, data mining, manufacturing, finance, and other computationally intense fields are increasingly using CUDA to deliver the benefits of GPU acceleration.
Q: What is NVIDIA Tesla™?
With the world's first teraflop many-core processor, NVIDIA® Tesla™ computing solutions enable the necessary transition to energy efficient parallel computing power. With thousands of CUDA cores per processor , Tesla scales to solve the world's most important computing challenges—quickly and accurately.
Q: What is OpenACC?
OpenACC is an open industry standard for compiler directives or hints which can be inserted in code written in C or Fortran enabling the compiler to generate code which would run in parallel on multi-CPU and GPU accelerated system. OpenACC directives are easy and powerful way to leverage the power of GPU Computing while keeping your code compatible for non-accelerated CPU only systems. Learn more at /openacc.
Q: What kind of performance increase can I expect using GPU Computing over CPU-only code?
This depends on how well the problem maps onto the architecture. For data parallel applications, accelerations of more than two orders of magnitude have been seen. You can browse research, developer, applications and partners on our CUDA In Action Page
Q: What operating systems does CUDA support?
CUDA supports Windows, Linux and Mac OS. For full list see the latest CUDA Toolkit Release Notes.The latest version is available at http://docs.nvidia.com
Q: Which GPUs support running CUDA-accelerated applications?
CUDA is a standard feature in all NVIDIA GeForce, Quadro, and Tesla GPUs as well as NVIDIA GRID solutions. A full list can be found on the CUDA GPUs Page.
Q: What is the "compute capability"?
The compute capability of a GPU determines its general specifications and available features. For a details, see the Compute Capabilities section in the CUDA C Programming Guide.
Q: Where can I find a good introduction to parallel programming?
There are several university courses online, technical webinars, article series and also several excellent books on parallel computing. These can be found on our CUDA Education Page.
Hardware and Architecture
Q: Will I have to re-write my CUDA Kernels when the next new GPU architecture is released?
No. CUDA C/C++ provides an abstraction; it's a means for you to express how you want your program to execute. The compiler generates PTX code which is also not hardware specific. At run-time the PTX is compiled for a specific target GPU - this is the responsibility of the driver which is updated every time a new GPU is released. It is possible that changes in the number of registers or size of shared memory may open up the opportunity for further optimization but that's optional. So write your code now, and enjoy it running on future GPU's
Q: Does CUDA support multiple graphics cards in one system?
Yes. Applications can distribute work across multiple GPUs. This is not done automatically, however, so the application has complete control. See the "multiGPU" example in the GPU Computing SDK for an example of programming multiple GPUs.
Q: Where can I find more information on NVIDIA GPU architecture?
Two good places to start are:
Programming Questions
Q: I think I've found a bug in CUDA, how do I report it?
Sign up as a CUDA registered developer, once your application has been approved you can file bugs which will be reviewed by NVIDIA engineering.
Your bug report should include a simple, self-contained piece of code that demonstrates the bug, along with a description of the bug and the expected behavior.
Please include the following information with your bug report:
- Machine configuration (CPU, Motherboard, memory etc.)
- Operating system
- CUDA Toolkit version
- Display driver version
- For Linux users, please attach an nvidia-bug-report.log, which is generated by running "nvidia-bug-report.sh".
Q: How does CUDA structure computation?
CUDA broadly follows the data-parallel model of computation. Typically each thread executes the same operation on different elements of the data in parallel.
The data is split up into a 1D,2D or 3D grid of blocks. Each block can be 1D, 2D or 3D in shape, and can consist of over 512 threads on current hardware. Threads within a thread block can cooperate via the shared memory.
Thread blocks are executed as smaller groups of threads known as "warps".
Q: Can the CPU and GPU run in parallel?
Kernel invocation in CUDA is asynchronous, so the driver will return control to the application as soon as it has launched the kernel.
The "cudaThreadSynchronize()" API call should be used when measuring performance to ensure that all device operations have completed before stopping the timer.
CUDA functions that perform memory copies and that control graphics interoperability are synchronous, and implicitly wait for all kernels to complete.
Q: Can I transfer data and run a kernel in parallel (for streaming applications)?
Yes, CUDA supports overlapping GPU computation and data transfers using CUDA streams. See the Asynchronous Concurrent Execution section of the CUDA C Programming Guide for more details.
Q: Is it possible to DMA directly into GPU memory from another PCI-E device?
GPUDirect allows you to DMA directly to GPU host memory. See the GPUDirect technology page for details.
Q: What are the peak transfer rates between the CPU and GPU?
The performance of memory transfers depends on many factors, including the size of the transfer and type of system motherboard used.
On PCI-Express 2.0 systems we have measured up to 6.0 GB/sec transfer rates.
You can measure the bandwidth on your system using the bandwidthtest sample from the SDK.
Transfers from page-locked memory are faster because the GPU can DMA directly from this memory. However allocating too much page-locked memory can significantly affect the overall performance of the system, so allocate it with care.
Q: What is the precision of mathematical operations in CUDA?
All the current range of NVIDIA GPUs and since GT200 have double precision floating point. See the programming guide for more details. All compute-capable NVIDIA GPUs support 32-bit integer and single precision floating point arithmetic. They follow the IEEE-754 standard for single-precision binary floating-point arithmetic, with some minor differences.
Q: Why are the results of my GPU computation slightly different from the CPU results? There are many possible reasons. Floating point computations are not guaranteed to give identical results across any set of processor architectures. The order of operations will often be different when implementing algorithms in a data parallel way on the GPU.
This is a very good reference on floating point arithmetic:
Precision & Performance:Floating Point and IEEE 754 Compliance for NVIDIA GPUs
Q: Does CUDA support double precision arithmetic?
Yes. GPUs with compute capability 1.3 and higher support double precision floating point in hardware.
Q: How do I get double precision floating point to work in my kernel?
You need to add the switch "-arch sm_13" (or a higher compute capability) to your nvcc command line, otherwise doubles will be silently demoted to floats. See the "Mandelbrot" sample included in the CUDA Installer for an example of how to switch between different kernels based on the compute capability of the GPU.
Q: Can I read double precision floats from texture?
The hardware doesn't support double precision float as a texture format, but it is possible to use int2 and cast it to double as long as you don't need interpolation:
texture<int2,1> my_texture;
static __inline__ __device__ double fetch_double(texture<int2, 1> t, int i)
int2 v = tex1Dfetch(t,i);
return __hiloint2double(v.y, v.x);
Q: Does CUDA support long integers?
Yes, CUDA supports 64 bit integers (long longs). Operations on these types compile to multiple instruction sequences on some GPU depending on compute capability.
Q: Where can I find documentation on the PTX assembly language?
This is included in the CUDA Toolkit documentation.
Q: How can I see the PTX code generated by my program?
Add "-keep" to the nvcc command line (or custom build setup in Visual Studio) to keep the intermediate compilation files. Then look at the ".ptx" file.
Q: How can I find out how many registers / how much shared/constant memory my kernel is using?
Add the option "--ptxas-options=-v" to the nvcc command line. When compiling, this information will be output to the console.
Q: Is it possible to execute multiple kernels at the same time?
Yes. GPUs of compute capability 2.x or higher support concurrent kernel execution and launches.
Q: What is the maximum length of a CUDA kernel?
Since this could be dependent on the compute capability of your GPU - the definitive answer to this can be found in the Features & technical specification section of the CUDA C programming guide.
Q: How can I debug my CUDA code?
There are several powerful debugging tools which allow the creation of break points and traces. Tools exist for all the major operating systems and multi-GPU solutions and clusters. Please visit the CUDA Tools and Ecosystem Page for the latest debugging tools.
Q: How can I optimize my CUDA code?
There are now extensive guides and examples on how to optimize your CUDA code. Find some useful links below:
Q: How do I choose the optimal number of threads per block?
For maximum utilization of the GPU you should carefully balance the number of threads per thread block, the amount of shared memory per block, and the number of registers used by the kernel.
You can use the CUDA Occupancy Calculator tool to compute the multiprocessor occupancy of a GPU by a given CUDA kernel. This is included as part of the latest CUDA Toolkit.
Q: What is the maximum kernel execution time?
On Windows, individual GPU program launches have a maximum run time of around 5 seconds. Exceeding this time limit usually will cause a launch failure reported through the CUDA driver or the CUDA runtime, but in some cases can hang the entire machine, requiring a hard reset.
This is caused by the Windows "watchdog" timer that causes programs using the primary graphics adapter to time out if they run longer than the maximum allowed time.
For this reason it is recommended that CUDA is run on a GPU that is NOT attached to a display and does not have the Windows desktop extended onto it. In this case, the system must contain at least one NVIDIA GPU that serves as the primary graphics adapter.
Q: How do I compute the sum of an array of numbers on the GPU?
This is known as a parallel reduction operation. See the "reduction" sample for more details.
Q: How do I output a variable amount of data from each thread?
This can be achieved using a parallel prefix sum (also known as "scan") operation. The CUDA Data Parallel Primitives library (CUDPP) includes highly optimized scan functions:
The "marchingCubes" sample demonstrates the use of scan for variable output per thread.
Q: How do I sort an array on the GPU?
The provided "particles" sample includes a fast parallel radix sort.
To sort an array of values within a block, you can use a parallel bitonic sort. Also see the "bitonic" sample.
The Thrust libraries also includes sort functions. See more sample info on our online sample documentation.
Q: What do I need to distribute my CUDA application?
Applications that use the driver API only need the CUDA driver library ("nvcuda.dll" under Windows), which is included as part of the standard NVIDIA driver install.
Applications that use the runtime API also require the runtime library ("cudart.dll" under Windows), which is included in the CUDA Toolkit. It is permissible to distribute this library with your application under the terms of the End User License Agreement included with the CUDA Toolkit.
Q: How can I get information on GPU temperature from my application?
On Microsoft Windows platforms, NVIDIA's NVAPI gives access to GPU temperature and many other low-level GPU functions
Under Linux, the "nvidia-smi" utility, which is included with the standard driver install, also displays GPU temperature for all installed devices.
Tools, Libraries and Solutions
Q: What is CUFFT?
CUFFT is a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) library for CUDA. See the CUFFT documentation for more information.
Q: What types of transforms does CUFFT support?
The current release supports complex to complex (C2C), real to complex (R2C) and complex to real (C2R).
Q: What is the maximum transform size?
For 1D transforms, the maximum transform size is 16M elements in the 1.0 release.
Q: What is CUBLAS?
CUBLAS is an implementation of BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) on top of the CUDA driver. It allows access to the computational resources of NVIDIA GPUs. The library is self contained at the API level, that is, no direct interaction with the CUDA driver is necessary.
Q: Does NVIDIA have a CUDA debugger on Linux and MAC?
Yes CUDA-GDB is CUDA Debugger for Linux distros and MAC OSX platforms.
Q: Does CUDA-GDB support any UIs?
CUDA-GDB is a command line debugger but can be used with GUI frontends like DDD - Data Display Debugger and Emacs and XEmacs. There are also third party solutions, see the list of options on our Tools & Ecosystem Page
Q: What are the main differences between Parellel Nsight and CUDA-GDB?
Both share the same features except for the following:
Parallel Nsight runs on Windows and can debug both graphics and CUDA code on the GPU (no CPU code debugging).
CUDA-GDB runs on Linux and Mac OS and can debug both CPU code and CUDA code on the GPU (no graphics debugging on the GPU).
Q: How does one debug OGL+CUDA application with an interactive desktop?
You can ssh or use nxclient or vnc to remotely debug an OGL+CUDA application. This requires users to disable interactive session in X server config file. For details refer to the CUDA-GDB user guide.
Q: Which debugger do I use for Cluster debugging?
NVIDIA works with its partners to provide clusters debugger. There are two cluster debuggers that support CUDA - DDT from Allinea and TotalView debugger from RogeWave software.
Q: What impact does the -G flag have on code optimizations?
The -G flag turns off most of the compiler optimizations on the CUDA code. Some optimizations cannot be turned off because they are required for the application to keep running properly. For instance: local variables will not be spilled to local memory, and instead are preserved in registers which the debugger tracks live ranges for. It is required to ensure that an application will not run out of memory when compiled in debug mode when it could be launched without incident without the debug flag.
Q: Is there a way to reach the debugger team for additional questions or issues?
Anyone interested can email to email@example.com
Engaging with NVIDIA
