19 Action News Chief Investigator Carl Monday has new and disturbing information about one of the women rescued on Seymour Avenue.
Michelle Knight is still being treated for anxiety at Metro Health Medical Center. But Carl Monday reports that Michelle is hospitalized, for possible reconstructive surgery, to heal injuries suffered at the hands of her attacker during her decade in captivity.
Michelle's grandmother, Deborah Knight, confirmed the information, telling 19 Action News: "When she was severely beaten, he had beat her so bad in the face, she has to have facial reconstruction, and she's lost hearing in one ear."
Records obtained by Carl Monday investigations show Michelle may have faced physical abuse before she was kidnapped. Records show David Feckley was charged and convicted in the early 2000's of child endangerment, for breaking Michelle's infant son's arm. He served eight years in prison. But a rape charge was dropped when the alleged victim, Michelle, couldn't be found. Of course, now we know where she was: on Seymour Avenue.
Michelle wasn't seeing visitors Thursday, not even her family. Yesterday, her mom, in from Naples, Florida, met with Michelle briefly at the hospital. But a relative told us the meeting was strained, and Michelle asked her mom to leave.
Meanwhile, the community is now showing its love and concern for Michelle, lighting up social media. Someone even offered her a place to stay. One woman stopped by Michelle's grandmother's house this morning with balloons and flowers.
"I wanted to let her know people are thinking about her," says Lindsey Perkins, a total stranger.
Thursday evening friends and concerned citizens hosted a "balloon release" on Seymour to honor Michelle's escape.

BOSTON (AP) — A man who lost both legs in the Boston Marathon bombing is now the father of a baby girl.
Jeff Bauman and his fiancee, Erin Hurley, announced the birth of Nora Gail Bauman on the "Jeff Bauman — Boston Strong, True Patriot and Hero" Facebook page Monday.
"Everyone is happy and healthy!" the message says. Nora was born Sunday.
A photo shows the couple, with Bauman holding the baby.
An Associated Press photo captured an ashen and bloodied Bauman being taken away from the bombing scene in a wheelchair by rescuers. Bauman later described to police one of the two brothers accused of planting two pressure-cooker bombs near the marathon finish line.
The 2013 attack killed three people and injured more than 260 others.

A Woman's Journey With HIV, In and Out of the Prison System
January 3, 2011
Welcome to This Positive Life! We have with us Patricia Kelly. In 1985, Patricia, a then-31-year-old IV drug user, learned that she was HIV positive while serving time in a South Carolina women's correctional facility. Convinced that she was going to die because her doctor told her as much, Patricia hid the fact that she was positive and spiraled deeply into her drug use. This mother of three and recovering addict talks to us about her 20-year journey living in and out of the prison system; overcoming the cultural stigma that stopped her from seeking the mental health help that she needed; and the relief and peace that being able to disclose her HIV status has brought her.
When were you diagnosed with HIV?
I was diagnosed in 1985, back in the time when it was the hysteria.
Long-term survivor, you are.
Yes. I'm a conqueror. Yes. It was a difficult time, you know, because when the doctor diagnosed me, he had a mask, gloves and a gown on. And he told me I was going to die. And he told me not to tell anybody that I was positive.
Where was this?
At the Women's Correctional Facility in Columbia, S.C. -- I was incarcerated. At that time, they tested you without you knowing you were being tested. Just the fact that you were an inmate; you were tested. He told me not to tell anybody, because if I told anyone they would not want to be around me. He also told me I was going to die and I believed him.
How long were you incarcerated?
Nine months. But at first, I didn't believe him. I wanted another test. So I got tested again and it still came up positive. Because of the hysteria and everything about it, I kept it to myself for nine years. There wasn't any counseling or anything back then. But, physically, in all these 25 years, I've never had any signs or symptoms. So had I not been tested, I would not have known. But emotionally, I've been to hell and back.
When you first heard the words "HIV," how did you feel? I know you said you didn't believe it, but when you got a second confirmation, saying, "Pat, you have HIV," what did you think?
I thought I was going to die. I thought my life was over. I wasn't married and thought I was never going to get married. I even believed that I couldn't have sex again. I was, like, oh, my whole world has come tumbling down.
Did you realize that you were even at risk? What did you know about HIV? Did you think it was just a gay men's disease?
I knew nothing about HIV really. I had seen it on TV, here and there. But I did think that it was only for gay men. And then later on, after I was tested, they started talking about IV drug users. So that was another facet. I was, like, "Oh, my!"
So when you left jail, what did you do?
I lived my life like I was going to die tomorrow. I took risks at doing crazy and wild things. I really got on a drug spin, and alcohol, and just taking outrageous chances. And I never told anybody. But I continued to be involved in the drug world -- which I knew, even if they knew, they would have accepted me. Because it's what you got that gets you in, you know. But I never said anything. Maybe towards the later years, as I realized I wasn't going to die, I started to share my HIV-stratus with some of my drug friends. They was like, "Well, if you knew this, why did you do that?" You know, that I put them at risk.
And I'm like, "Even if you had known, it wasn't going to make a difference; because when we out there, we out there."
How long had you been addicted to drugs?
I did a life sentence in jail on the installment plan. And back in the day, a life sentence is 20 years. So I did drugs on and off for about 20 years.
Do you remember the first time you did drugs and which drugs were they?
I guess that would be alcohol.
And how old were you?
I was a teenager, and it was right after I watched my first love commit suicide. And so, basically, I started drinking. Then I went away to college, and some people introduced me to marijuana, and cocaine. Then I dropped out of college and started doing drugs a lot. Later on I got focused and went back to college and got my degree. But the year after that, I was incarcerated for writing bad checks-I didn't have any money in the bank.
It was during that stint in jail, [I found] out that I was positive. And before that I had interest in going on to grad school and doing this and that. After that, I was like, "It's over."
While you were doing drugs and you were kind of in and out of jail, what did your family think?
I stayed with my family. I'm originally from New York.
Which part of New York?
The Bronx, but I grew up on the Lower East Side: ABC Town. And a lot of my activities took place away from home. I went to Connecticut to hang out, or I'd do things in South Carolina, so that my family -- or anyone who knew me -- couldn't point and say, "Yeah, I saw your daughter over there." I basically tried to keep it away from my family.
They had thoughts and ideas, but they couldn't say that I was actually a drug addict. They just thought I was out there with men, or, you know, my kids' father -- stuff like that.
So, the drugs and alcohol: Were you doing that to self medicate?
Yes, most definitely.
What were you medicating yourself for?
I didn't want to feel. I didn't want to think about dying. In 1991 my brother died from AIDS. That's when it really hit home. He came to South Carolina to live with us. That's when my mother and father got educated about the disease. And even though I had been positive for a number of years just like my brother, we had seen each other and I had gotten some idea, but we never spoke about it.
You know, he was also an IV drug user, and every now and then we used drugs together. And he would be like, "You can't use my work kit." He was more protective in ways later on that wasn't a part of him in the beginning.
Later on, I was incarcerated again and they allowed me to call him when he was in the hospital. I said I was going to be praying for his recovery, and praying for him; and he said he was beyond prayer. That's when I actually knew, without us even having the words. Because I knew that he had the feeling that I had -- that it was going to be all over.

Siemens Goes ECAD With Mentor Graphics Acquisition
December 1st, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
By acquiring one of ECAD's giants, Mentor Graphics, Siemens continues to round out its design capabilities far beyond its MCAD roots as part of its Vision 2020 quest. Siemens says the acquisition is an extension of "shaping the Digital Industrial Enterprise by expanding its portfolio for industrial software."
Under terms of the agreement, Siemens will acquire Mentor for $37.25 per share in cash, which represents a value of $4.5 billion. The offer price represents a 21% premium to Mentor's closing price on November 11, 2016, the last trading day prior to the announcement.
Major Mentor shareholder Elliott Management has committed to support the transaction. In many ways, I don't think Mentor had much of a chance of fending off the acquisition, as its profits were minuscule (and had been for some time), and got strong-armed by Elliott who owns a good chunk (~8%) of Mentor. By the way, Elliott blessed the offer.
Elliott Management, run by billionaire Paul Singer, said when it raised its stake it saw numerous opportunities to boost Mentor's "deeply undervalued" shares and had started talks with the company's management and board. According to the company, the acquisition is a "great outcome" for Mentor shareholders as the company will benefit from Siemens's increased scale and greater resources.
The acquisition extends Siemens' Digital Enterprise Software portfolio with Mentor's electronics IC and systems design, simulation, and manufacturing software – capabilities essential for smart connected products, such as autonomous vehicles.

Are We Finally Witnessing the Future of Making Things?
November 17th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
Along with almost 10,000 other attendees, I was in Las Vegas this week at Autodesk University and am still trying to comprehend if I've just seen the future of manufacturing.
To a large extent, Autodesk's vision for the future of making things stems from what it calls generative design.
So what is generative design? According to Autodesk's official definition, generative design mimics nature's evolutionary approach to design.
AU 2016: The Future Of Making Things
In the digital realm, designers and engineers input design goals into generative design software, along with parameters, such as manufacturing methods, materials, and cost constraints. Using cloud computing, the software quickly explores all possible permutations of a solution, generating design alternatives. The software then tests and learns from each iteration what works, what doesn't, and what works best.
In other words, with generative design, there is not necessarily a single solution to a problem, instead, there are potentially thousands of solutions that address the initial problem.

MBD Finally Gaining Momentum for Smart Manufacturing
November 10th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
A couple of weeks ago, I attended a very interesting event called the 3D Collaboration & Interoperability Congress 2016 (3D CIC) that was hosted by our colleagues at Action Engineering. The actual conference event was two days, but was preceded by a SOLIDWORKS user group meeting that focused exclusively on model-based definition (MBD) for an entire day. Myself, along with about 60 other attendees got a good look at MBD, not just SOLIDWORKS' perspective, but a broader view, as well.
I was fortunate to sit next to Oboe Wu, product manager at SOLIDWORKS who is a huge proponent of MBD. With SOLIDWORKS MBD, you can communicate product and PMI directly in 3D, bypassing time-consuming 2D processes, in other words, drawings.
SOLIDWORKS MBD sets data such as product models, dimensions, geometric tolerances, surface finishes, welding symbols, bills of material (BOM), callouts, tables, notes, Meta properties, and other annotations within the SOLIDWORKS 3D environment in 3D PMI. Because all the information needed to guide the operation is integrated with the 3D models, traditional 2D drawings are no longer needed (at least in theory).
With MBD, 2D drawings become less necessary and meaningful. Instead of having a 3D model and a 2D drawing in a traditional workflow, the model is the drawing in an MBD workflow. The MBD approach provides a direct connection and single digital data thread from design to engineering to inspection.

One Year In, HP Inc. Continues To Reinvent Itself
November 3rd, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
If there ever was a company that has struggled to reinvent and find itself, as well as its former stature in consumer and commercial technology, it's HP.
There was a time when HP had no equal in several product segments, such as test & measurement, calculators, pocket PCs/personal assistants, etc., but those days are long gone. Sure, the company reigns in printers, and their desktop and mobile workstations are good, but not nearly as compelling as in the good old days.
HP's reign as the world's largest manufacturer of personal computers came to an end in the second quarter of 2013. At the time sales figures showed that Chinese PC manufacturer Lenovo shipped more computers during that period than HP, which had held the crown as the largest PC maker since at least 2006.
In an attempt to return to its former glory days, HP split into two public companies with one side focusing on its cloud and enterprise market (Hewlett-Packard Enterprise), and the other on personal systems (computers) and printers (HP Inc.). To make this happen, the company also cut thousands of jobs in the process.
Wakeup Call For One Of IoT's Biggest Nightmares – Denial of Service
October 27th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
Well, it was only a matter of time before what happened last Friday happened. I'm talking about the Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) incident on server farms of a key internet firm, Dyn, that repeatedly disrupted access to major websites and online services including Twitter, Netflix,GitHub, and PayPal across the U.S. and Europe last Friday. The White House called the disruption malicious and hacker groups have claimed responsibility, though their assertion is not yet verified.
The event involved multiple denial-of-service (DoS) attacks targeting systems operated by Domain Name System (DNS) provider, Dyn, that rendered major internet platforms and services unavailable to large swaths of North America and Europe.
"The complexity of the attacks is what is making it so difficult for us," said Kyle York, Dyn's chief strategy officer. "What they are actually doing is moving around the world with each attack."
As a DNS provider, Dyn provides to end-users the service of mapping an Internet domain name—when, for instance, entered into a web browser—to its corresponding IP address. The DDoS attack involved tens of millions of DNS lookup requests from a large number of IP addresses. The activities are believed to involve a botnet coordinated through a large number of IoT devices that had been infected with the Mirai malware.
Apple Adding To Computer Product Line Minus Ports
October 20th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
According to an article this week in Engadget, Apple reportedly plans to eliminate the USB 3.0 and Magsafe ports on its next-gen MacBook, and kill the 11-inch MacBook Air altogether. That's according to Macotakara, the Japanese rumor site that was among the first to predict that the company would kill the traditional headphone jack on the iPhone 7. It also claims that Apple will unveil a 15.4- and 13.3-inch MacBook Pro at a new product launch event next week.
If the report is accurate, MacBook Pros will only have USB Type C and Thunderbolt 3 ports. As with the new MacBook, you'd presumably charge it through the USB-C port and connect peripherals via Thunderbolt 3. That means you'd need some kind of USB 3.0 adapter, since the majority of storage and other peripherals still use the traditional standard. For the MacBook, Apple sells a $79 USB-C dock that gives you USB 3.0, USB-C for power and an HDMI connection.
Are These Ports Gone In The New MacBook Pros?
The company will also release a new 13.3-inch MacBook Air, but discontinue the 11-inch model, according to the report. That squares with previous rumors that Apple would kill the smaller Air model, since it has been made effectively redundant by the 12-inch MacBook. However, it also shows that it isn't discontinuing the MacBook Air completely, as some feared (including me).

Dassault Systemes Helps Drive Driverless Vehicle Development With 3DEXPERIENCE
October 13th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
When it comes to product manufacturing, consumers have zero tolerance for errors, and even less when it comes to vehicles. As we enter into a new generation of vehicle R&D with connected and autonomous cars, these expectations will only increase. What will this mean for automotive manufacturers and how will it change the traditional design and development processes?
Enter 3D modeling, simulation, and virtual reality (VR), things that Dassault Systemes knows something about.
Two announcements made recently by Groupe Renault and PSA Group demonstrate how Dassault Systèmes' 3DEXPERIENCE platform is helping car companies to use several 3D technologies to design, create, and visualize innovative transportation products, including autonomous vehicles, to meet the demand of their customers with what it calls its Target Zero Defect platform.
Dassault Systemes' Target Zero Defect Collaborative Platform
The transportation and mobility industries are continually impacted by broad social and economic trends. Concern for the environment is currently the top influencer. The push for improved fuel efficiency has received unprecedented attention, with government agencies worldwide imposing increasingly strict regulations. Environmental friendliness has also become a purchasing concern of consumers, who also demand the same web connectivity and entertainment options they experience at home and on their mobile devices. And then there's connected/autonomous/driverless vehicles.
Dassault Systèmes is responding to these business and technical challenges with its Transportation and Mobility Industry Solution Experiences. The "Target Zero Defect" Experience builds upon the 3DEXPERIENCE platform with a series of industry-tailored process modules that empower users with the tools needed to address many industry concerns. For customers in the transportation and mobility industry these modules can help initiate the product development process flow using company-established knowledge and best practices that ensure and sustain competitive advantage. Through the full cycle of development from conceptual engineering to component design, manufacturing, and final assembly, the Dassault Systèmes industry process modules are designed to allow users to target zero defects in product delivery.

HP Adding A New Dimension To Printing
October 10th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
For as long as I can remember, HP has produced an incredible range of products for science, engineering, and consumer customers. More recently the company has had a huge presence in computers and 2D printers.
Now, HP has vision for 3D printing for manufacturing parts on a relatively economical machine it calls the Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) 3D printer. The company claims these parts will have similar quality and characteristics as injection-molded parts, and will print at speeds that HP claims to be 10x compared to similar competing technologies. More about these claims to follow.
However, I have to wonder if HP will be able to fulfill its promise.
The HP Multi Jet Fusion Printer
HP wants to deliver SLS-quality parts on a system targeted at the professional 3D printer market. So-called professional 3D printers can be run in office environments and use photopolymers as material and inkjet printheads for material deposition. HP's Multi Jet Fusion uses a printhead to jet a resin onto a powderbed where it will be fused.
In a Multi Jet Fusion technology white paper HP states, "Compared to SLS, HP Multi-Jet Fusion technology helps reduce the overall focused energy requirements needed to attain full fusing, resulting in more consistent material properties." So SLS has higher "focused overall energy requirements," yet the strong thermal bonds this energy creates is exactly what make SLS so desirable. So, exactly what is this process and can it really create material properties that match SLS and even injection-molded parts?
Tim Heller, Director 3D Printing, Hewlett-Packard At IMTS 2016
Historically, parts made from 3D printers, such as the MJF have lacked the robust mechanical properties of injection-molded parts. SLS is the only viable additive manufacturing technology capable of matching injection-molded parts in tensile strength and long-term stability. Materials undergoing the fusion process have issues that point to a natural limitation, not a technological oversight that HP or any other manufacturer can truly fix.
Stratasys Shows Off Unique 3D Printing Demonstrators At IMTS
October 6th, 2016 by Jeff Rowe
Last month at IMTS 2016 we checked out a lot of new and improved manufacturing technologies, including several innovative developments in 3D printing/additive manufacturing. A couple of the most unique technology introductions were from Stratasys.
The company demonstrated its next-generation manufacturing technologies as part of its Shaping What's Next vision for manufacturing that builds on its industrial FDM 3D printing expertise in response to the needs of customers' most challenging applications, addressing manufacturers' needs to rapidly produce strong parts ranging in size from an automobile armrest to an entire aircraft interior panel.
Stratasys developed two new prototype machines that they called demonstrators to prove their practicality – the Infinite Build 3D Demonstrator and the Robotic Composite 3D Demonstrator.
Stratasys CMO, Tim Bohling, Leads Tour of Company's 3D Printing at IMTS 2016
The Infinite-Build 3D Demonstrator
The Stratasys Infinite-Build 3D Demonstrator was designed to address the requirements of aerospace, automotive and other industries for large, lightweight, thermoplastic parts with predictable mechanical properties. The 3D Demonstrator featured a new approach to FDM extrusion that increases throughput and repeatability. The system also employed a unique "infinite-build" approach, that prints on a vertical plane for parts that are virtually unlimited size in the build direction, such as entire airplane panels.
The Infinite-Build demonstrator is called that because, by flipping the vertical FDM process on its side, "We're able to print parts in that vertical plane direction essentially as large as we want," said Rich Garrity, president of Stratasys Americas.

Ted Siefer's City Hall: Aldermen see familiar face; MPD 'smacked' for its actions
August 16. 2014 10:24PM
A FAMILIAR face returned to City Hall last week: former alderman and mayoral candidate Patrick Arnold. Only on Monday, he sat opposite his one-time colleagues rather than alongside them.
Arnold was before the Land and Buildings Committee as the director of MHT Strategies, the political consulting and government affairs shop he recently set up with Jason Fellman. MHT's first client also has a familiar name: VMD Companies, the Massachusetts-based real estate development firm that has been trying to get the city to part ways with the Pearl Street parking lot, where it wants to build a residential tower that would cater to college students.
VMD's past proposal was basically a nonstarter because it looked to the city to finance the $40 to $60 million project. This time, as Arnold crisply explained to the aldermen, VMD intends to arrange the financing on its own, while offering the city $1 million for the lot.
Arnold, you may recall, was the guy who went from a baby-faced no-name alderman at the start of 2013 to the guy who surprised everyone and came within single digits of the popular Mayor Ted Gatsas when he ran for Gatsas' office.
Arnold remains an active presence in Democratic political circles in Manchester, and more than once he's dropped hints that he's still eyeing the corner office.
Arnold told me his new consulting gig in no way ruled out another run for mayor.
"I'd say we ran a very aggressive grassroots campaign last year, and a lot of the issues we were discussing in the campaign are still issues of concern to the people of Manchester," he said.
Of course, another name for Arnold's new avocation is "lobbyist." Is he concerned this might taint him in the eyes of some voters?
"I have a long history of advocating for projects that are in the best interest of the city," he said. "This project in particular would be a great addition to the downtown area and help revitalize this area of Elm Street."
How well Arnold's political past has endeared him to the city's chief executive, Mayor Gatsas, is another question.
You've no doubt heard about the city's crackdown last week on shops selling dubious varieties of potpourri with names like "Smacked" and "Spice."
It may not have come as a surprise that the Manchester Police Department moved to revoke the licenses of the shops selling the products, which were blamed for numerous overdoses. And perhaps it's not a surprise that a certain alderman doesn't like the crackdown: Joe Kelly Levasseur.
In his legal capacity, he represents one of the shop owners.
"I am very concerned about due process and the strong arm of the MPD in this instance," he told me. "My client said he would simply stop selling the stuff if he was asked. He did not need to be shut down. People can get high off airplane glue - should we shut down every business that sells that, too?"
Could this be yet another chapter in the long-running saga of Levasseur vs. the MPD?
Three more groups of district employees are joining the union club. Certified instructors, who specialize in assisting marginal students and those at struggling schools, along with interpreters for the deaf and hard-of-hearing, and the staff in the district's credit recovery centers have voted to join the New Hampshire branch of the National Education Association. The move affects about 50 employees.
The news was delivered to the school board at its meeting on Monday by Pamela Hogan, the district's human resources director.
The board didn't have much of a reaction, but it's safe to say it wasn't exactly welcome news. There are now precious few nonunion employees in the district, and collective bargaining has long been one of the board's greatest challenges, in terms of both time and resources.
Just look at where things stand with the city's largest union, the Manchester Education Association, which represents the teachers. After several failed rounds of negotiations, the teachers continue to work without a contract; the district is locked into "Cadillac" health care plans - by the federal government's own estimation; and teachers' wages remain frozen.
Mow free or die? Ward 10 Alderman Bill Barry says his constituents are getting fed up with unkept lawns and, well, he feels there ought to be a law against it.
Barry wrote to the city clerk's office to request the matter be referred to committee.
Residents of his ward, Barry wrote, are "frustrated with properties throughout the city that are not well kept."
Barry said he had done some research and found ordinances in other cities stipulating that lawns over 12 inches high must to be cut. "A city inspector will send the property owner a letter giving them a certain amount of time to comply, if they don't then the city will cut it and send them a bill," Barry wrote.
Although it should be noted, as Barry does, none of these cities are in New Hampshire.
No one can raise money like Mayor Gatsas, and Monday's school board meeting he once again demonstrated his ability to make it rain. One by one, he invited to the podium the business leaders who agreed to donate money for STEAM Ahead New Hampshire, the academy to open in the fall at West High aimed at setting kids on careers tracks in the sciences (and arts).
The donors had come with checks in hand, and there was a bit of an awkward moment when Gatsas directed them to give the checks directly to district Business Administrator Karen DeFrancis, rather than former city Mayor Bob Baines, the guy heading up STEAM Ahead. Read into that what you will.
Sponsors who have pledged support include Fairpoint Communications, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield of new Hampshire, Autfair, NBT Bank, People's United Bank, Mall of New Hampshire, Workplace Benefit Solutions, RSCC Aerospace, Five Guys Burgers and Fries, Telephone Network Technologies, Admix, WB Mason, Harvard Pilgrim, Cross Insurance and Centrix Bank.

NEW YORK — Ever since moviegoers began viewing her domineering-mother performance in "Only God Forgives," Kristin Scott Thomas has experienced an unusual reaction. People — males, usually — approach her to speak about the movie, only to find themselves cowering.
"Men come up and tremble. They have fear in their eyes after seeing the film," she said in an interview at a midtown hotel recently. "It's like, 'the little boy is frightened.'"
In a multilingual career spanning three decades, Scott Thomas, 53, has played a roster of memorable figures, including the doomed lover in "The English Patient" and the ambiguous friend in French-language thriller "Tell No One." But until she took on the role of Crystal, the Ma Barker manipulator in "Only God Forgives," she has never been so menacing. It's enough to make us revisit how we see the BAFTA winner, who has generally been seen in upscale roles.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
The polarizing "Only God Forgives," currently in theaters and on video on-demand, marks Nicolas Winding Refn's follow-up to 2011's "Drive." Bloody and Oedipal, it reunites Refn and that film's star, Ryan Gosling, who plays Julian, a low-level Bangkok drug dealer in a position to avenge the death of his brother after he is killed by a ruthless crime boss.
Except for one slight problem — he has little desire to do so.
Enter Crystal, who with her leopard-print outfits and animal instincts goads her son to murder while emasculating him in the process. With her bottle-blond hair and devil-may-care air, the character doesn't give a second thought to describing the size of her son's genitals (or lack thereof) in front of him (or his girlfriend). As this is Refn, there's also violence of the actual kind.
So different is the role from Scott Thomas' typical parts that when her agents first sent her the script, she thought they had mixed up her email address with that of another client. She eventually decided to take on the role, in part after being moved by Refn's dark but haunting vision in the 2008 crime biopic "Bronson."
Still, her work was just beginning. "I really hadn't a clue how to approach this character," Scott Thomas said, crossing her legs elegantly in a green designer dress. "But I had a breakthrough. I had just done a photo shoot in Paris dressed up as Donatella Versace and men who were nearby would get instantly aggressive; one actually tried to physically take me away with him. I knew that was my in."
She went about hand-picking costumes that suited that brazen vulgarity. She went for the most outrageous not only because she thought it fit the character but because she thought it played down who she was, played down the Kristin Scott Thomas of it all.
"Whether you like it or not, actors bring luggage, and the disguise that I was in was also a disguise of my own luggage. Lady Brenda and 'Gosford Park,' forget all that," she said, referring in the former instance to her regal 1988 movie "A Handful of Dust." She also began studying Greek tragedies and Shakespearean blood epics such as "Titus Andronicus"; if you're going to play a schemer hellbent on murder, might as well learn from the best.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
Scott Thomas is a mother herself, and at one point during the interview she took a call from her son reminding her to get Gosling's autograph as they were promoting the film — "he's 13 and doesn't even want it for himself; he wants it to impress a girl," she said with a twinkle in her eye.
(Incidentally, Scott Thomas said she didn't know Gosling when she first signed on; she's too caught up in making movies, she said, to keep up with younger stars. She learned quickly, though, when she would tell people the name of her new co-star — "I mean, these were women of my generation, and the blood would literally drain from their face." The fact that there was sexual tension intrigued them more — never mind the small fact that she was playing his mother.)
After raising three children of her own, two already in their 20s, Scott Thomas said it was an adjustment to play a woman so oblivious to the tenets of good parenting. But she says the experience has been enough to change how she sees herself, no easy feat for a woman doing this as long as she has, and with such conviction.
Though she recently shot a film about Charles Dickens' lover and is currently shooting the WWII literary adaptation "Suite Française" — both projects that would have fit a pre-Crystal KST — the actress said the effects of starring in "Only God Forgives" continue to stay with her.
"When you make a beautiful nightmare like this — and that's what Nic has made, a beautiful nightmare — it changes how you think," she said. "I feel like now it's a matter of 'bring it on' in terms of future roles. I don't care about taste anymore."

Man punches neighbour's 13-year-old son for swearing
ALL Stephen John Moran wanted was a good night's sleep.
He got a court date instead.
Moran, 28, pleaded guilty to a charge of common assault last week in the Rockhampton Magistrates Court after he punched his neighbour's 13-year-old child.
The court heard on the night of August 19 the child was yelling and swearing loudly. Moran and his partner told the child to "shut up" numerous times.
Police prosecutor Constable Paige Barrow said Moran went next door and located the child.
She said Moran took the child outside where he held him on the front stairs and punched him in the rib area.
Defence lawyer Michael Stockall said Moran and his partner had made noise complaints to police about the child previously, but no action had been taken.
Mr Stockall said his client had to work the next day and was trying to sleep.
He said Moran had gone next door to confront the mother of the boy but was told by another child that she was sick.
He then returned home, but went back again when the boy swore at Moran's his partner.
Mr Stockall said Moran "may have punched him", but he wasn't sure.
Magistrate Barry Cosgrove took into account the circumstances surrounding the offence and recorded no conviction.
"But you can't take the law into your own hands," Mr Cosgrove said.
Moran was given a six month probation order.

MIAMI — Put this Marlins loss on Juan Pierre, he's willing to take it.
The Marlins had embattled Cubs closer Carlos Marmol on the ropes Thursday, working men onto first and second with nobody out in the bottom of the ninth.
Down 4-3, thanks to Luis Valbuena's ninth-inning, line-drive home run off Steve Cishek, Juan Pierre came to the plate asked to perform a task he has mastered during his 14-year major league career — bunt.
The goal was to move the runners over for the Marlins' best hitters to bring them home. Instead, Pierre had Donovan Solano thrown out at third.
The botched bunt had broken one of baseball's cardinal rules — never make the first out of...

Ayn Rand: A Sense of Life SYNOPSIS
Ayn Rand was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Defying the death warrant of the Soviet Union, she came to America as a temporary visitor in 1926 but remained for the rest of her life. Later, she would also defy the cultural and political views of contemporary America in such best-selling novels as THE FOUNTAINHEAD and ATLAS SHRUGGED. Her unique philosophy, Objectivism, challenged the cultural tradition of 2,500 years . . .

One misconstrued quote from Bruins coach Claude Julien sent people all in a tizzy about Tuukka Rask's status in the team's net last month.
Then Anton Khudobin produced a couple shining-star performances in the Bruins' crease and even more people peeped up thinking Rask might not be able to hang on to the No. 1 goaltender position.
Well, in his last four games Rask has basically shoved a puck down the throat out of everyone doubting his abilities to fulfill his career-long dream of being Boston's go-to-goalie.
Rask stopped 40 of 42 shots in the Bruins' 6-2 win Monday night against Carolina at TD Garden. In his last three outings, he's 3-1-0 with a save percentage of … wait for it … .955. That's not just No. 1 worthy, it's Vezina Trophy worthy.
"I felt sharp throughout the year I think. But it's just trying to be calm and just poised out there, and it's been good the past three games. So I'm just trying to keep that up," Rask said.
Rask might be ready for the playoffs to start, but the Bruins still have to tighten up their defense. In those three Rask starts, he's faced 111 shots.
•Of course, life in the net is easier when your team provides you with six goals. Part of the Bruins' offensive shakeup that led to the season-high scoring output was putting Gregory Campbell at center between Brad Marchand and Jaromir Jagr. Here's my CBS Boston column about how Campbell's able to fit his game onto any line for the Bruins.
•Bruins coach Claude Julien gave his team Tuesday off to travel to Newark. Boston takes on the New Jersey Devils Wednesday night.

Victorian Small and Community Scale Wind Workshop
Posted in Events, Policies by Enhar on February 7th, 2012
|9 February , 2012
|10:00 am
|1:30 pm
In Victoria, proponents of wind turbine projects for domestic, business and community
use, although smaller in scale than large wind farms, may be asked to satisfy the same
environmental criteria as a large wind farm. Meanwhile, local authority decision-makers
are faced with ambiguities in the planning system on how to respond to applications for
small wind turbines: when are proposals exempt from the new 2km restrictions for
Wind projects which are smaller than large commercial wind farms may have a lower
impact on the landscape and the environment. Planning controls for large wind farms in
Victoria may not always be applied to small wind projects, but how should local
authorities in Victoria determine what constitutes an acceptable smaller wind project?
Enhar is organising this event to cater for those who are motivated to find answers to
these questions.
Date & Time:
Thursday 9th Feb
2012 from 10am – 1:30pm

Thirty years ago, at the beginning of Don McKeown's career at Kodak, his mother put a stuffed Smurf in his lunch bag as a joke.
"I'm known in my family as having an extreme hatred of Smurfs. It goes way back," McKeown says, glancing at the Papa Smurf peering out of a coffee cup on a shelf in his office. "I got to work and opened my lunch bag and there was that stinking Smurf," McKeown says. "And so he's followed me for my whole career and wherever I was, I always put him in a spot. He's been on shelves, hanging on light fixtures; he's been everywhere."
What started as a good-natured prank over the years doubled as a subtle reminder to McKeown not to take himself too seriously and to keep his feet firmly on the ground.
McKeown brought his down-to-earth approach with him to RIT in 2001, when he joined the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science as a distinguished researcher with an expertise in remote sensing and operation management. During the last few years, he has actively promoted RIT's Information Products Laboratory for Emergency Response as a resource for the disaster management community and the remote-sensing industry. McKeown helped launch the National Science Foundation-funded laboratory in 2009 with imaging science professors Jan van Aardt and Anthony Vodacek, and Chris Renschler at University at Buffalo.
"I think we're grounded and realistic in what we think we can do," McKeown says. "We go beyond traditional research. It's a hybrid of pure and applied. These users want information, not data."
The Information Products Laboratory for Emergency Response pulls together groups of people who normally don't mingle. It gives industry members a chance to ask emergency managers what they want and need in a crisis and how they can improve the information products they provide—the detailed digital maps of disaster zones. RIT promotes itself to both groups as a resource for conducting targeted research and development of electronic maps and customized sensor and processing systems. In this way, the laboratory creates a pathway for transferring technology and knowledge from academia to industry and the end-users in the field.
At the heart of the laboratory is a multi-spectral camera system fondly known in the Center for Imaging Science as "WASP." It began life a decade ago as a prototype designed and built for the U.S. Forest Service as part of the federally funded Wildfire Airborne Sensor Program. Technical tweaks and major overhauls over the years have improved WASP's ability to capture high-resolution visual and infrared imagery with its four individual cameras.
Jason Faulring knows WASP better than anyone in the Digital Imaging and Remote Sensing Group. The young research engineer's career at RIT has evolved and grown alongside the camera system that launched RIT into wildfire remote-sensing research and led to the Information Products Laboratory for Emergency Response.
Faulring helped design and build the 300-pound camera system that peers through the hole in the floor of a small plane. His expertise in operating it has taken him to unlikely places—Haiti, after the earthquake of 2010; prescribed fires in Kentucky, Georgia and Florida; and, most recently, to the floods that slammed the southern tier of New York following Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
McKeown, Faulring and their colleagues in the Center for Imaging Science are working toward real time air-to-ground image transmission to deliver information to emergency managers as quickly as possible.
"In the world of applied remote sensing, so many things have to come together—the flight, the sensor, your health, the weather—all these things are stacked against you," Faulring says. "Fortunately, we've been able to work through them by being flexible and able to adapt to ever changing and challenging situations."
In late August, Faulring sat in a twin-engine Piper Navajo owned by RIT partner Kucera International and focused the million-dollar camera system over the receding Schoharie Creek. After landing in Rochester that evening, he pushed the imagery through a new processing and geo-referencing workflow that finished the task in a mere three hours; the data was then delivered over the Internet to New York state emergency managers in Albany.
McKeown led the team that looked at the more than 1,400 scenes of water overflowing the Gilboa Dam, contaminated plumes and structural damage, extracting areas of interest to highlight for the emergency managers. Kucera and RIT flew the mission at no cost to the state to aid in the effort and to demonstrate the technology.
A week later, Tropical Storm Lee pounded the East Coast, and Faulring was back in the Navajo. This time the New York State Office of Emergency Management and the Federal Emergency Management Agency funded RIT and Kucera to fly to Binghamton to map the cresting Susquehanna River. The slow-moving flood had forced 100,000 people to evacuate from New York to Pennsylvania when the river rose to record levels.
Low clouds caused the crew to switch to the contingency plan McKeown had made for low-altitude operations following the Schoharie experience. The crew covered 23 miles and collected another 1,400 scenes in two hours, including imagery of contamination slicks the state Department of Environmental Conservation found useful. RIT posted the processed images 12 hours after authorization to fly, only six hours after the first frame was collected.
McKeown organized and led a three-hour post-mortem on the Schoharie and Binghamton flood missions in December at the Institute for the Application of Geospatial Technology in Auburn, N.Y. Attendees and online listeners included members of the state and federal Office of Emergency Management, FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Environmental Conservation and the U.S. Geological Survey, which coordinates natural-disaster response.
Dennis Pokrzywka from the New York State DEC Spill Unit pointed to the potential for detecting and mapping unknown contamination slicks. He showed examples of RIT imagery and ground-based images around the BAE Systems plant in Johnson City of a plume of heating oil.
"Finding out what doesn't work is just as important as what does work," McKeown notes.
In time, McKeown is confident emergency managers will ask their industry partners instead of RIT to provide remotely collected imagery during disasters, fulfilling one of the laboratory's objectives.
"We are not in the business of responding to disasters," McKeown says. "What we want to do is to enable someone in the commercial sector to be able to do that. We want to take what we learn through demonstrations—through occasional participation in disasters—to take those insights and to transfer them over to the commercial sector, which can then be on call 24/7. Now, if there is another major event in New York, is the phone going to ring? It might."
