Shumlin: Rail safety something to 'look at'July 19,2013MONTPELIER-Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin says that following the rail disaster in Quebec, the state's tracking of what travels through Vermont by train is "certainly something we should look at."
Vermont currently has no routine inspections for tracks, leaving that to the Federal Railroad Administration. It also does not track the type of cargo that is shipped through the state.
Questions about rail safety have come to the fore since a July 6 accident in which a train carrying oil derailed and barreled into the town of Lac-Megantic, Quebec. At least five of the train's cars exploded and officials say 50 people were killed.
Shumlin says rail is important to Vermont's economy, but the state has a duty to ensure public safety.MORE IN Vermont NewsPHILADELPHIA After standing at the podium to second the nomination of Sen.

"Our Gateway to the "Other Side of Paradise"" Top 5 Page for this destination Papeete by Geisha_Girl
Papeete Travel Guide: 64 reviews and 194 photos
We still have hundreds of photos filed from our unforgettable tour through French Polynesia. I suddenly realized I had begun to build several pages of the islands we visited.......but I failed to include PAPEETE! Party Central of French Polynesia!
We stayed for only 1 night on this hustle and bustle island. After staying on the more remote French Polynesian islands for a few weeks, it was a bit of a "culture shock" for us to be back in the modern rhythm of this Papeete. It was an overnight stay in "civilization" before we jetted back to the U.S. and completed our momentous Round the World journey.
Even more wonderful memories were made in Papeete.
We have to credit the lovely Jadedmuse for introducing us to this gentleman, Henri....A French transplant who "followed the path of Gauguin" and left France for the Polynesian Paradise.
Charming Henri welcomed us upon our arrival into French Polynesia......and SAVED US from our RTW luggage. He helped us store a bulk of our bags so we can "keep it light" through our tour of the rest of the Islands.
Henri runs an "Adventure Tours" business in Papeete, and we were lucky enough to be guided by him on one of his fun excursions (more in the TIPS section!)

Comments (5)
Will you be featuring Henri in your new magazine? At least just a blurb to humor Jadedmuse? Then how could she resist buying a copy?
Great tips! I hope there's more, though I'm wondering if this is a guide to Papeete or a guide to vacationing with Henri! Ha!
Excuse-moi...how did you post these tips and not send me a smoke signal?! Love them! And of course, the photos....
great tips!
I dear!! I start to read all about this islands because I would love to go soon. Very nice page, huggs from Chile!

Product Description
The commentary by creator Steve Oedekerk and producer Paul Marshal doesn't shed much light on the production, but it does up the pun quotient significantly. The DVD debut also features trailers from Thumbation classics Thumbtanic and The Blair Thumb; gag "thumbographies" of the characters; a strange, silly interview with Gabba the Butt; and a gallery of storyboards (look closely and you'll see the title The Incredible Mr. Limpet printed on the bottom--guess who was funding this picture's preproduction). --Sean Axmaker

Windows 7, the machine is under warranty so there should be some one on one help for this one.
Yes it could be some third party protection software but since you have a warranty I'd at least try.
After installing the latest set of Microsoft updates on my PC (running Windows 7 on a HP Media Center PC)I restart the computer and it hangs on the 'Starting Windows' screen.
The only way I can get out of this is to do a system recovery. This has happened twice now as I was unaware that it was the updates that had caused the problem.
The main updates it tries to install are:
*Cumulative Security Update for ActiveX Killbits for Windows 7 (KB978262)
*Security Update for Windows 7 (KB971468)
*Security Update for Windows 7 (KB975560)
*Security Update for Windows 7 (KB977165)
*Security Update for Windows 7 (KB978251)
*Update for Rights Management Services Client for Windows 7 (KB979099)
*Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - February 2010 (KB890830)
There are also 37 optional updates as well (which I can list if needed) - I assume that it tried to install everything.
Is anyone aware of any known problems with these update?
Your help is much appreciated.

In this paper, the coordinated integration of aggregated plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) fleets and renewable energy sources (wind energy) in power systems is studied by stochastic security-constrained unit commitment (Stochastic SCUC) model, which minimizes the expected grid operation cost while considering the random behavior of the many PEVs. PEVs are mobile and distributed devices with deferrable options for the supply/utilization of energy at various times and locations. The increased utilization of PEVs, which consume electricity rather than fossil fuel for driving, offers unique economic and environmental opportunities, and brings out new challenges to electric power system operation and planning. The storage capability of PEVs could help power systems mitigate the variability of renewable energy sources and reduce grid operation costs. Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) enables PEVs to have bi-directional power flows once they are connected to the grid, i.e., they can either inject power to, and draw power from, the grid which adds further complexity to power system operations. PEVs signify customers' random behavior when considering their driving patterns, locational energy requirements, topological grid interconnections, and other constraints imposed by the consumers. Numerical tests demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for analyzing the impact of PEVs on the grid operation cost and hourly wind energy dispatch.

I was told yesterday by a pharmacist at a major Kansas City suburban hospital that they regularly obtain and sell a generic form of Clopidogrel. This must be true. I see no reason for the pharmacist to lie. My question is: why isn't this common knowledge and why hasn't either my pharmacy (a neighborhood Wal-mart) or my health insurnce company (Blue Cross-Blue shield of KC) told me of this?? I'm tired of paying $50 per month for Plavix when a genreic form has been on sale in Europe since 2008.
Generic Plavix - why isn't it common knowledge that this is available?

Hello jazivr I understand your frustration. The FDA granted the manufactures, Bristol-Meyers-Squib and Sanofi-Aventis, a six month patent extension which will allow them to continue to market Plavix which is then set to expire on May 17th, 2012. So, its not likely that there is a generic out there, thats possibly why your pharamcy and insurance company haven't told you. Best of wishes,pledge

very interesting... sometimes the things you see in a day can end up in your dreams. its happened to me o3o
The realistic Pokemon are fantastic!!! Gotta admit, the realistic mew creeps me out a bit. I love the attention to detail for the skin/fur and what certain parts of the party would need to be like in order to be functional (e.g. the beak of the bulbasaur - it reminds me of a parrotfish). Also, I giggled when I saw the realistic charmander. My first thought was, "It's a t-rex with a flaming tail! Awesome!"

Sound Levels of TV Advertisements Relative to the Adjacent Programs and Cross-National Comparison of the Way of their Insertion into Programs
Sound levels of TV Advertisements (CMs) were measured relative to those of the adjacent programs because they could not exist individually without adjacent programs. The results show that the averaged sound levels of about 20% of the CMs were over -5 dB with small dynamic ranges less than 10 dB. 57% and 84% of CMs in terrestrial and BS digital broadcasting, respectively, had higher sound levels than the main programs. Next, perceptual experiments were performed for 3 types of TV CMs with different sound levels, resulting in that all CMs sounded louder than a reference speech irrespective of large sound level differences. Finally, comparison of a way of insertion of CMs into programs among Japan, UK and US was performed.

Writing posts works great. When I try to edit a post with new content, I receive a 403 error message stating I don't have permission to edit the file '/wp-admin/post.php'. This occurs when I click both the 'save & continue editing' & 'save' buttons.
I have multiple WordPress installations, and this occurs in 2 of the 3 installations. Oddly enough, the 2 it occurs in are directories in which I installed WordPress via my hosting frontend [although updated manually], whereas the other installation I installed & update manually. I'm already in contact with my hosting provider, seeing if they know the solution.
I believe the problem has something to do with logging in. Both the problematic installations fail to remember logins, even when the box 'Remember Me' is selected. My working installation rememebers logins just fine.
The 403 error started occurring with WordPress 2 only, although the login memory problems have been with these 2 installations since day 1 [Wordpress 1.5]
Any & all help is appreciated.

Rated 5 out of 5 by WalkDuringBreaks from Great Walking Shoes for Work I have been searching for a great pair of walking shoes that I could wear at work. These shoes are dressy and stylish enough to pass for regular work shoes but give you the added comfort and support that your feet need for walking. I overlooked Rockports as a potential shoe because I thought they were "old man" shoes but I wish that I had tried a pair of TruWalks years ago...my feet would have appreciated it. I am really loving the shoes and expect to purchase another pair in the future!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Robert2254 from True to Truwalk I tend to walk on the outer sides of my feet. My wife calls it the "clown walk". Every pair of shoes I've ever bought have worn down at that part of the shoe and it costs too much to have the re-heeled. The way the bottoms of the Truwalk shoes are made I can never wear them out! Amazing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Buy Toyota from Pain Free I work in sales and I am on my feet and on the move all the time. I tend to dig my heels in when I walk and my shows wear quickly on the heels. The shape ( curve ) of the true walk heel makes my foot more stable and wears better. I have had several pairs of Rockport shoes and I keep coming back to them. I tried a pair of ecco's and they are good shoes but not as good as the Rockport. I use to have a lot of foot pain before I started wearing Rockport . Now I am pain free !!!

Rated 1 out of 5 by LoyalNoLonger from Horrible design I've been buying Dressports for years and this version is the worst design I've ever walked in. It's all because of the TRUWALK design. Whoever designed this obviously never actually walked in these shoes. Its ackward to stand and ackward to walk in and caused a dull pain in my leg. Thankfully Rockport also offers the Buisness Lite version which is more comparable to the Dressports I've been buying over the last 15 years. I recommend NOT buying and TRUWALK shoes.

Rated 5 out of 5 by DMurf from Helped me to perform on the job I have had these shoes in Black tan and Burgundy for a year now. They are like slippers, I have nerve damage in my feet and can not wear just anything, even sneakers hurt after a few hours. I can wear these shoes all day and not be in a hurry to get them off at night. Standing, walking and driving they are Excellent, the best dress shoe ever in my life. I just ordered 4 more pair, the suede for weekends. DO NOT STOP MAKING THE SHOE!

Rated 5 out of 5 by kycat from Comfortable right out of the box. Read a review brfore buying that said the shoes have changed over the past couple of years and are now longer and narrower. It recommended ordering a half size smaller and get them in wide. I did and the shoes fit like a glove just like the ones I was replacing after six years. No break in time needed. I work on hard floors and am on my feet all day long. These shoes are as comfortable as my favorite pair of tennis shoes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by BB55 from Great shoe but not so great in cordovan I bought these in black, dark tan and cordovan and would've given these 5 stars because they are nice looking, very light and very comfortable (and cant beat the on-sale low price) but I really didnt like the look or feel of the shoe in cordovan at all--it looked sort of cheap and synthetic, didnt look like leather at all--was very hard/rigid to the touch and felt the same (stiff) when I put it on--returned those, but love the black and dark tan-soft, immediately comfortable and I especially like the profile and top view (and feel) of the sole.....its more dress/business looking with a slight sheen/polished look......compared to the older Dressports, whose sole is very soft and comfortable but has a totally matte/flat/gray finish, looks like rubber (I guess it is), looks much more down-market/casual than the new ones--I like the look of these newer models much better (dont know how new they actually are, but they look better than those of several years ago)

Rated 4 out of 5 by evxx from Nice, classic-look dress show; goofy sole design Nice to be able to find traditional looking dress shoes in wide widths, at a reasonable price. Some of the other dress Oxfords have squared-off toes that are not what I would expect in a wingtip. Despite being listed as "extra-wide", these are no wider than some others' "wide". (For instance, the XW fit is about the same as K62742 Business Lite Wingtip in a regular W, but that one has a squared-off toe. And the K69912 Almartin XW seems narrower still.) Unfortunately the sole has a goofy, rounded-off heel, right where I usually wear out heels. So it's like starting off with a heel near the end of its life. I always add plastic heel plates to my shoes to make them last longer, but the rounded heel makes attaching them difficult. Hopefully, no one will look down too closely, since the worn-down heel kills much of the dressy look. I realize this is designed for walking comfort, but I have other casual Rockports with traditionally shaped heels that are great for walking. Big mistake!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Eddie9871 from A heck of a shoe. Again, a great shoe. I had bought the cordovan shoes before I bought these, so I knew exactly what size and what to expect from these shoes. They are light, comfortable, and stylish; but what wingtip is not stylish. I have already recommended this shoe, and will continue to do so.

Title: Slopes of modular forms
Abstract: An interesting computation of Buzzard and Kilford suggested that the slope distribution of the Up operators on the space of overconvergent modular forms tends to form an arithmetic progression, when the Nybentypus character is highly divisible by p. Unfortunately, this was only verified for very small prime p and small tame level. I will explain a joint work with Daqing Wan and Jun Zhang, in which we work with overconvergent automorphic forms for a definite quaternion algebra instead. We prove certain weak version of this expectation for general p and general tame level structure.

Title: Cohomology of local systems on rigid analytic spaces
Abstract: Let K be a finite extension of Q_p. The notion of the etale fundamental group of a rigid analytic space has been introduced by de Jong. It is highly noncompact; consider for example Tate's uniformization of elliptic curves.
Let X be a smooth proper connected rigid analytic space over K. One then has a Riemann-Hilbert-style identification of continuous representations of the etale fundamental group of X on finite-dimensional Q_p-vector spaces with locally constant sheaves of finite-dimensional Q_p-vector spaces with respect to Scholze's pro-etale topology; these are what we call "etale Q_p-local systems" on X. We prove that the cohomology groups of such a sheaf are finite-dimensional Q_p-vector spaces.
The proof uses an extension of p-adic Hodge theory, especially the theory of (phi, Gamma)-modules, to the setting of etale fundamental groups, in order to transform the problem into something resembling the finiteness of cohomology of coherent sheaves on X (proved by Kiehl).

Title: Canonical heights and nef divisors on abelian varieties, with an application to arithmetic dynamics
Abstract: Let A/K be an abelian variety defined over a number field, and let D be a divisor on A. The Neron-Tate height q_D(P) = lim h_D(nP)/n^2 is a quadratic form q_D : A(K) --> R, and if D is ample, then q_D is positive definite on A(K) modulo torsion. I will discuss an extension of this theorem to the case that D is only assumed to be a nef divisor and will give, as an application, a proof for abelian varieties of the following conjecture in arithmetic dynamics: Let f : X --> X be a dominant rational self-map of a smooth projective variety, all defined over a number field. Let P be an algebraic point of X whose forward orbit by iterates of f is well-defined and Zariski dense in X. Then the f-orbit of P has maximal arithmetic complexity. (Joint work with Shu Kawaguchi)

Abstract: I'll report on continuing work to categorize important matrix coefficients for representations of p-adic groups (includingspherical, Whittaker, and Bessel functionals among others) in terms of representations of Iwahori-Hecke algebras. We'll showhow these characterizations lead to simple computations of the functionals on distinguished test vectors (e.g. the spherical vector), which has applications to global constructions in automorphic forms.

Title: Local-global principles for torsors
Abstract: Many algebraic structures can be classified by torsors, i.e. by principal homogenous spaces for algebraic groups. This holds, for example, for quadratic forms and central simple algebras. Local-global principles for such algebraic structures can then be obtained from local-global principles for torsors. This has been studied classically in the case of torsors over global fields. This talk, on recent and continuing work with Julia Hartmann and Daniel Krashen, will focus on the case of semi-global fields (one-variable function fields over complete discretely valued fields).

In 1970, Manin showed that the Brauer group can obstruct the existence of global rational points, even when there exist points everywhere locally. Conjecturally, this Brauer-Manin obstruction explains all failures of the local-to-global principle in the case of (geometrically) rational surfaces. However, beyond rational surfaces, for example in the case of Enriques surfaces and K3 surfaces, there is little evidence in support (or against) such a conjecture. This lack of evidence stems from a difficulty in computing the Brauer-Manin obstruction for such surfaces, specifically in computing the so-called transcendental part of the Brauer group. In this talk, we explain how to compute the transcendental Brauer element on any Enriques surface, and, more generally, how to compute the 2-torsion Brauer classes on any double cover of a ruled surface. This is joint work with Brendan Creutz.

Title: "Hilbert's Tenth Problem for function fields of positive characteristic"
Abstract: Hilbert's Tenth Problem in its original form was to find an algorithm to decide, given a multivariate polynomial equation with integer coefficients, whether it has a solution over the integers. In 1970 Matiyasevich, building on work by Davis, Putnam and Robinson, proved that no such algorithm exists, i.e. Hilbert's Tenth Problem is undecidable. Since then, analogues of this problem have been studied by asking the same question for polynomial equations with coefficients and solutions in other commutative rings. In this talk we will discuss some recent undecidability results for function fields of positive characteristic.

Title: "Integral points in two-parameter orbits"
Abstract: Let K be a number field, let f : P^1 --> P^1 be a nonconstant rational map of degree greater than 1 that is not conjugate to a powering map, let S be a finite set of places of K, and suppose that u,w ∈ P^1(K) are not preperiodic under f. We prove that the set of (m,n) ∈ N^2 such that f^m(u) is S-integral relative to f^n(w) is finite and effectively computable. This may be thought of as a two-parameter analog of a result of Silverman on integral points in orbits of rational maps. We also discuss so-called Bang-Zsigmondy variants of this question. This represents joint work Corvaja, Sookdeo, and Zannier.

Title: Rigid inner forms and endoscopy
Abstract: The basic version of the local Langlands conjecture predicts a correspondence between Langlands parameters and packets of representations of a given reductive group G defined over a local field F. The more refined version enhances the space of parameters by including representations of certain finite groups and then predicts a correspondence between enhanced parameters and individual representations of G. This refinement is needed in many application, one example being the multiplicity formula for discrete automorphic representations. While the basic version is easy to state for any G, a precise statement of the refined version was not known for general reductive groups over p-adic fields (including classical groups like special linear, symplectic, and special orthogonal groups over division algebras).
In this talk, we will propose a uniform and precise statement of the refined local Langlands conjecture for arbitrary connected reductive groups over local fields of characteristic zero. It is based on the construction of a canonical gerb over such a field, whose arithmetic properties lead to a normalization of the endoscopic objects involved in the local Langlands conjecture. Time permitting, we will discuss evidence for the validity of this statement, which includes the case of real groups, as well as certain classes of representations of p-adic groups.

Abstract: We consider families of automorphic representations on reductive groups. We establish a quantitative Plancherel equidistribution theorem for the Satake parameters of these families. We proceed via the trace formula by proving uniform bounds for orbital integrals and for trace characters of discrete series representations. The theorem is strong enough to apply to the Katz-Sarnak heuristics on zeros of L-functions making it possible to conjecture the universality class of the distribution of zeros in families. Joint works with S.-W.Shin, P.Sarnak and J.-L.Kim.

Title: Epipelagic representations and rigid local systems
Abstract: Reeder and Yu have constructed in a uniform way certain supercuspidal representations of p-adic groups called "epipelagic representations", using invariant theory studied by Vinberg et al. In the function field case, we will realize these epipelagic representations as local components of automorphic representations, and construct the corresponding Langlands parameters, i.e., local systems over P^1 minus two points. These local systems can be computed explicitly for classical groups, and they give new families of local systems (with monodromy in all types of groups, classical or exceptional) that are expected to be rigid.

Abstract: Artin introduced his non-abelian L-functions for representations of the Galois group in a series of papers in 1923--1931. He was able to define the local Euler factors for all primes and define the Artin conductor that appears in the functional equation, but the Artin root number remained mysterious. It was factored by Deligne in 1971 as part of his proof of the existence of the local epsilon--factors that appear in the functional equation of the Artin L-functions. One way too understand these L-functions and epsilon-factors is to find a corresponding analytic object, and automorphic form, whose L-function and epsilon-factors match the arithmetic ones. This is the content of the local Langlands correspondence. This correspondence should be robust and be preserved under various parallel operations on the arithmetic and analytic sides, such as taking the exterior square or symmetric square. In collaboration with F. Shahidi and T-L. Tsai, we have recently showed that indeed the correspondence between the local arithmetic and analytic epsilon—factors is preserved under these operations. The proof is an application of local/global techniques and the stability of these factors under highly ramified twists. In this talk I will attempt to explain a bit about these objects and the techniques we use in our proof.

Abstract: To any essentially self-dual, regular algebraic (ie cohomological) automorphic representation of GL(n) over a CM field one knows how to associate a compatible system of l-adic representations. These l-adic representations occur (perhaps slightly twisted) in the cohomology of a Shimura variety. Recently Harris, Lan, Thorne and myself have constructed l-adic representations without the `essentially self-dual' hypothesis'. In this case the l-adic representations do not occur in the cohomology of any Shimura variety. Rather we construct them using a congruence argument. In this talk I will describe this theorem and sketch the proof.

Abstract: There are no abelian schemes over Spec(Z), by a theorem of Fontaine and Abrashkin. On the other hand, there are several examples of elliptic curves over quadratic fields with good reduction everywhere, the first being given by Tate and Serre over the field Q(sqrt(29)).
I will report on recent joint work with Lassina Dembele, in which we produce several examples of abelian surfaces with real multiplication, defined over a real quadratic field and having good reduction everywhere. It relies on recent explicit equations for Hilbert modular surfaces (due to Elkies and the speaker) and also on efficient computation of Hecke eigenvalues for spaces of Hilbert modular forms (due to Dembele, Donnelly, Voight and Greenberg). Our work also provides some evidence for the Eichler-Shimura conjecture for Hilbert modular forms.

Abstract: In 1859 Riemann published a 10 page monograph in which he showed how an understanding of the distribution of prime numbers can be achieved through the study of the zeros of the Riemann zeta function, which all occur in the domain of analytic continuation, and his extraordinary approach has dominated the subject ever since.
Riemann starts by using Perron's formula to create an identity for the (weighted) count of the number of primes up to x. He then pulls this contour integral to the left, into the region of analytic continuation (which is fraught with difficulties). What if, instead, we stick in the natural region of definition of the zeta function, and attempt to better understand the original contour integral? In this talk we discuss the tentative beginnings of such an approach, and its (far-reaching) consequences.

Abstract: The homology of SL_N(Z) in a fixed degree d turns out to be independent of N for sufficiently large N. This phenomenon is known as *stability*. The actual homology groups themselves turn out to be intimately related to the algebraic K-theory of the integers. Borel computed the rational K-theory of Z using automorphic forms, and the integral K-groups of Z are now essentially known due to work of many people. In this talk, we address the following question: what does the homology of congruence subgroups of SL_N(Z) in small degree look like for large N? This is already an open question for H_2.

Abstract: An important fact about a principally polarized abelian variety A defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0 is that the multiplication-by-p morphism of A is inseparable. The p-rank is the number r such that p^r is the number of p-torsion points of A. The Ekedahl-Oort type is a finer invariant which characterizes the isomorphism class of the p-torsion group scheme A[p]. There are many deep results about the stratifications of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian varieties by p-rank and Ekedahl-Oort type. Much less is known about the analogous stratifications of the Torelli locus. In this talk, I will discuss the geometry of the p-rank strata of the moduli space of curves. If time permits, I will also discuss Ekedahl-Oort strata of low codimension, for which the Jacobians are close to being ordinary.

Abstract: It is well-known that the closed geodesics on the modular surface X, when collected according to the discriminants, are equidistributed with respect to the hyperbolic invariant measure. This is originally the Linnik problem, solved by Duke via bounding the Fourier coefficients of half-integral weight modular forms. We study and evaluate asymptotically the variance of this distribution on the unit tangent bundle of X, and show it is equal to the classic variance of the geodesic flow a la Ratner, but twisted by an intriguing arithmetic invariant, the central value of certain L-function. Our approach makes use of the work of Shintani on Weil representation and the theta correspondence. We also obtain analogous result for the variance in the Linnik distribution of integer points on spheres, via Jacquet-Langlands correspondence and Yoshida lift. This talk is partly based on my joint work with Z. Rudnick and P. Sarnak.

Abstract: We present a new construction of the p-adic L-functions associated to ray class characters of totally real fields. We define a certain measure-valued cohomology class on GL_n(Z) that we call the Eisenstein class. We have two separate constructions of cocycles representing this class: one is obtained by enacting a "smoothing operation" on the Eisenstein cocycle defined by Sczech, and the other is obtained by smoothing the cocycles arising from Shintani's method as studied by Solomon, Hill, and Colmez. For each ray class of a totally real field we define an associated cycle such that the natural cap product with our class yields the desired p-adic L-function. As a corollary of our construction and a result of Spiess, we prove that the order of vanishing at s=0 of the p-adic L-function is at least equal to the expected one, as conjectured by Gross. This result was known from Wiles' proof of the Iwasawa Main Conjecture under an auxiliary assumption that is not necessary via our method. We also discuss refinements of Gross's conjecture arising from our construction that yield exact formulas for Stark units. This is joint work with Pierre Charollois.

Abstract: The understanding of the arithmetic of modular forms for noncongruence subgroups pales when compared to that of congruence subgroups. This is primarily due to the lack of effective Hecke operators, as conjectured by Atkin. The first pioneering work on noncongruence modular forms was done by Atkin and Swinnerton-Dyer in 1971, who proposed 3-term p-adic congruence relations replacing the usual 3-term recursive relations satisfied by eigenforms of the Hecke operator at p.In 1985 Scholl attached to noncongruence forms a family of Galois representations, and establishedp-adic congruences of ASD type.

Abstract: It is folklore that modular multiplication is "random". This concept is useful for many applications, such as generating pseudorandom sequences, or in quasi-Monte Carlo methods for multi-dimensional numerical integration. Zaremba's theorem quantifies the quality of this "randomness" in terms of certain Diophantine properties involving continued fractions. His 40-year old conjecture predicts the ubiquity of moduli for which this Diophantine property is uniform. It is connected to Markoff and Lagrange spectra, as well as to families of "low-lying" divergent geodesics on the modular surface. We prove that a density one set satisfies Zaremba's conjecture, using recent advances such as the circle method and estimates for bilinear forms in the Affine Sieve, as well as a "congruence" analog of the renewal method in the thermodynamic formalism. This is joint work with Jean Bourgain.

Title: "On some local models for Shimura varieties"
Abstract: A basic problem in the theory of Shimura varieties is the definition and subsequent study of "good" integral models. For PEL Shimura varieties whose level structures have p-component of parahoric type, Rapoport and Zink have defined natural integral models and reduced their local study to their _local models_, which are defined purely in terms of linear algebra. Unfortunately, the Rapoport-Zink integral Shimura models and local models can fail one of the most basic tests of reasonableness, namely they need not be flat. In a recent paper, Pappas and Rapoport have proposed corrections to the definitions of local models attached to even orthogonal groups and ramified unitary groups, which they conjecture to give flat schemes. I will report on the proof of a version of their conjecture. A key ingredient is the enumeration of certain Schubert varieties in affine flag varieties.

Title: "ell-adic properties of the partition function"
Abstract: Ramanujan's partition congruences modulo powers of 5,7 and 11 imply that certain sequences of partition generating functions tend ell-adically to 0. Little is known about the ell-adic behavior of these sequences for primes ell > 11. We show that modulo powers of primes ell at least 5, these sequences of generating functions ell-adically converge to linear combinations of a(n explicitly given) finite number of special q-series. We use our general result to reveal a theory of "multiplicative partition congruences" anticipated by Atkin in the 1960s with respect to primes ell between 13 and 31. This is joint work with Zachary Kent and Ken Ono.

Title: "Expander graphs, gonality, and Galois representations"
Abstract: (joint work with Chris Hall and Emmanuel Kowalski) We show that 1-parameter families of abelian varieties over a number field K have few fibers over bounded-degree extensions of K whose mod-p Galois representations have "unexpectedly small image." When the abelian variety is an elliptic curve, this result reduces to known facts about gonality of modular curves due to Abramovich and Zograf. The truth of the result is not surprising, but the method of proof is unexpected (at least to us) – the argument uses in a central way new results on expansion in Cayley graphs of linear groups over finite fields due to Helfgott, Gill, Pyber-Szabo, Breuillard-Green-Tao, Golsefidy-Varju, etc., in combination with analytic results due to Li and Yau. If time permits, we will rephrase the result in terms of the "Bogomolov property" and discuss some arithmetic analogues. The paper can be found at http://arxiv.org/abs/1008.3675

Title "The Taylor-Wiles Method for Coherent Cohomology"
Abstract: The Taylor-Wiles method, and its more elaborate variants due to Faltings, Fujiwara, Diamond, and Kisin, has been used in a variety of situations to prove that p-adic representations are attached to automorphic forms. The method was developed in the setting of elliptic modular forms, or of automorphic forms on totally definite unitary groups, in order to avoid complications arising from torsion in cohomology. A recent vanishing theorem of Lan and Suh makes it possible to apply the Taylor-Wiles method to coherent cohomology and p-adic de Rham and \'etale cohomology of certain Shimura varieties. The method does not yield new modularity results, but it does show that these cohomology groups tend to be free over Hecke algebras, after localization at a non-Eisenstein prime.

Title: "Presentation of the Iwasawa algebra of Gamma_1 SL_(2, Z_p)"
Abstract: It seems to have been assumed that explicit descriptions, by generators and relations, of the Iwasawa alebras of Chevalley groups over Z_p were inaccessible. We will give an explicit, and simple, presentation in the case announced in the title, and discuss applications and a related problem.

Title:"Arthur Packets and the Ramanujan Conjecture"
Abstract: In this talk we show that under a part of Arthur's A-packet conjecture, locally generic cuspidal automorphic representations of a quasisplit group over a number field are of Ramanujan type, i.e., are tempered at almost all primes. The A-packet conjecture allows us to reduce the problem to a special case of a general local problem which we then solve in general. Our result also gives enough evidence to conjecture that, up to isomorphism, locally generic cuspidal representations are in fact globally generic and conversely.

Title: "The interpretation and distribution of cycle integrals of modular functions"
Abstract: I will survey some results of two joint works, one with Imamoglu and Toth and one with Friedlander and Iwaniec, about cycle integrals of modular functions. In the first we interpret such integrals as Fourier coefficients of weight 1/2 harmonic Maass forms. These forms can be used to construct explicitly modular "integrals" having rational period functions. In the second we give as an application of general results about Weyl sums an asymptotic formula for such cycle integrals.
