ABC News Anchor David Muir Urges Ithaca College Graduates to Find Their Own Voices
ITHACA, NY — Sixteen years after graduating from Ithaca College and three months after being named sole anchor of ABC's weekend newscasts, David Muir returned to his alma mater on Sunday, May 22, to give the college's Commencement address. Speaking to some 1,440 new graduates and their guests, Muir told the audience his most important discovery has been the power of the human voice.
"[That] lesson for me, as a young journalist at ABC, came very early," Muir said.
He was sent to cover Hurricane Katrina, and being on the streets of stricken New Orleans bought Muir face-to-face with people screaming into his camera lens for help. The camera also showed the nation a diabetic woman who, in mid-interview with Muir, collapsed from shock because no insulin was available.
"I remember thinking, 'Where was the federal response?'" Muir said. "The next day, the buses pulled in, and the White House had mobilized its effort. At that moment, I learned a lesson about giving the voiceless a voice."
A few months ago in Cairo, as Muir was interviewing a 24-year-old woman on Tahrir Square, men in plain clothes suddenly surrounded her.
"They began asking her, 'Why are you doing this? Why are you using your voice like this?'" Muir said. "She had used Twitter and Facebook to help add to the revolution taking place in that square. She had become one of the faces of freedom in Egypt. . . . Days later, President Mubarak was forced out, and I thought of the power of one young woman's voice."
Muir told the new graduates that as they make their way in the world, they don't have to be globetrotting journalists to put the lessons he learned into practice.
"You don't need a camera or a microphone to have a voice," Muir said. "I know you already have one. I'm simply here to urge you to use it. We're incredibly lucky to be in a part of the world where we're allowed to use our voices, even if we don't agree with one another. . . . Like that young woman in the square, you have the power to make your own decisions about the world, to shape the world, and to change your world."
The ceremony, which began with board of trustees chairman C. William Schwab '68 welcoming the new graduates to the fold of alumni, also included awarding civil rights pioneer Dorothy Cotton an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. Having worked closely with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as the education director of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference in the 1960s, Cotton continues to spread her message of freedom and hope around the world. "We're all on a journey, as were the people who came before us," Cotton told the graduates. "We'll know we've reached the end of that journey when the world is working harmoniously. Until that time, keep asking yourselves: What can you do to make a better world?"
The proceedings also included senior class president Danielle Giserman asking her fellow graduates to reflect on the experiences that transformed them into Ithaca College graduates. Whether those experiences were cheering together at football games and gathering for ritual Sunday brunches or volunteering for community service and seeking new ways of learning, the time that the class of 2011 spent on South Hill produced graduates who are passionate, bonded, hard-working and caring.
"No matter where you are going, just promise that you will seek happiness, laughter, and always think with an open mind," Giserman said. "We are all so lucky to have been given this incredible opportunity to go to Ithaca College. Now it is time to take everything we have gotten from Ithaca and move forward. Follow your dreams, and do not be afraid to fail."
Following Giserman's remarks, the senior class officers presented the class gift. Thanks to the participation of 489 seniors, $36,305 was raised, most of which will go to support the library's Digital Media Lab, which provides space for students to create and edit multimedia projects.
President Tom Rochon then congratulated the ceremony's oldest graduate, Beryl MacMillen Anderson, who received a master's degree in music education at the age of 87. Though she enjoyed a long teaching career in music, work and family obligations had forced Anderson to leave the college in 1953 just two credits shy of earning her master's. At the urging of family and friends she finally returned to finish that degree this year.
In his remarks, Rochon asked the new graduates to consider how profoundly they and the world at large had changed since they began their college studies in 2007.
"When you were freshmen, there had never been an African-American president of the United States, and there was no reason to think there would be one any time soon," said Rochon. "When you started at IC, there had not yet been a global financial meltdown triggered by misplaced confidence in financial instruments that few people understood."
Also, at about that time, there was an innovation called the iPhone. Four years later, said Rochon, that device is in its fourth generation, with indications that many more versions are inevitably on the way.
"You may be the ones for whom change is so omnipresent that the only thing that would make you uncomfortable would be to find out that there will not soon be another major advance in the way we stay connected with each other," said Rochon. "You were born into a world of rapid change, and things have been speeding up ever since."
Rochon told the graduates they are prepared to meet that challenge.
"You, the graduate of today, are equipped to generate your own answers. More of you than in any previous generation over the last century will work in small businesses. You may work directly with the company's founder. You might be the company's founder. You will in any case forge your own path rather than following a path laid down by others."
In closing, the president referred to the inscription on the medallions passed out to the graduates before the ceremony: "Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."
"Those words were written by William Faulkner, a Nobel laureate who, in an uncharacteristically brief pair of sentences, offers great wisdom for blazing your own path. . . . I hope you will carry this medallion with you through life, and that you will carry with it the determination to strive always to be better than yourself."

I flew in to see my niece graduate and most of our family made it too. Great speeches and right on the mark with the message of what you can do to better things. Thanks for making this a great day for the graduates and the people attending. David - It was cool seeing you "toy" with the audience on the news that night. Nice video, something for the kids to remember. Congrats Lauren, we are all proud of you.
ABC World News with David Muir was pre-empted in the Rochester area on Sunday, May 22 and replaced with special election coverage. Is it possible to get David's news segment about the Ithaca College commencement put on the IC website or youTube? I was so disappointed to not be able to see it.
The news segment is here: http://wildfire.gigya.com/facebook/preview.aspx?fb_sig_api_key=f7667e9eb...4ODQzYWVkODgzMWU1NiZvZj%2Aw&s=1

Israeli starts a stem-cell zoo
Israeli starts a stem-cell zoo
The essential aim of the research was to demonstrate scientifically that stem cells can be created from high-level animals. Thanks to this research, funding may become available to other animals, including endangered species.
Israeli researcher Inbal Friedrich Ben-Nun
By Rivka Borochov
As sure as you're born, you may never see another unicorn –– goes the famous song of the Irish Rovers, but in this lifetime we may see the rise of seriously endangered species, thanks to the work of an Israeli scientist.
Working in a post-doctoral fellowship position at the Scripps Research Institute in California, Inbar Friedrich Ben-Nun put herself on a course to do what no scientist had done before – create stem cells from the skin cells of endangered animals.
She did her research under the auspices of Jeanne Loring, a professor of developmental neurobiology at Scripps, with the counsel of Oliver Ryder, head of genetic research at the San Diego Zoo. About five years ago, Ryder contacted Loring to discuss the possibility of creating stem cells from endangered animals. Ryder oversees the Frozen Zoo, a cryogenic bank containing skin cells and other material from more than 800 different kinds of animals.
This unusual zoo was established in the 1970s with the vision that the technology would one day be available to make use of the genetic samples of deceased animals. The time has come, and Ben-Nun has taken the first major step in a new kind of laboratory conservation work.
"We can use this method to save species from extinction," she says.
The drill is an endangered primate species
The research was funded by the Esther O'Keefe Foundation, the Millipore Foundation and the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine. And it's important to note, says Ben-Nun, that funding in this area is badly needed. With a half million dollars, stem cells could be created from any endangered animal, she believes.
The artificial stem cells created from a rhino and a primate in the lab headed by Loring now provide a basis for new genetic material, via preserved samples of dead animals, to enter into the gene pool of endangered animals at severe risk of extinction. This project was a top-100 story for Discover magazine in 2011.
Rhino test-tube babies
The stem cells developed by Ben-Nun from genetic material preserved at the Frozen Zoo are pluripotent, meaning they are capable of differentiating into one of many cell types. Scientists can create any kind of cell from them, potentially including sperm and eggs that could be "mated" and implanted in a living animal to create new, genetically diverse babies.
Rhino nerve cells originated from stem cells made from rhino skin cells.
Nerve cells are stained in red, cell nucleus in blue
The essential aim of the research was to demonstrate scientifically that stem cells can be created from high-level animals -- such as the primate drill species, which does not fare well in captivity, and the northern white rhinoceros, of which only seven exist in the world today.
Stem cells have already been created in mice and are often used as an animal model for testing treatments for human diseases. Little funding and interest has been given to other animals that don't have medical use to humans. This could change, thanks to the new research.
The next step will be finding donor dollars to develop the stem cells into eggs or sperm. This could take as long as a rhino gestation period –– 15 months –– assuming that rhino in-vitro fertilization actually works, Ben-Nun says.
New hope for dinosaurs and the woolly mammoth?
While it's possible that the melting arctic icecaps may give rise to previously extinct animals like the woolly mammoth, she does not believe scientists will be able to restore dinosaurs the way they were created in the Jurassic Park movie.
"I won't say no, but it seems far-fetched. There is a small chance. You need to have preserved cells," she explains.
The key for successful stem cell research, she notes, is access to some basic and well-preserved skin or body cells. Since the dinosaurs are so long gone, it is not likely that good genetic material is out there. But in the case of recent extinctions, "the sky's the limit," she says.
If Ben-Nun could pick one animal to conserve, it would be the northern white rhino. Of the five species of rhinos, this native of Africa was thriving in the Sixties, but became decimated from over-poaching and is in danger of total extinction if solutions aren't found to preserve it. The last birth of a northern white rhinoceros was in 2000.
Only seven individual specimens of this rhino are alive today, two at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park and four others in a monitored reserve, where they were released in a last-ditch attempt to preserve the species. But time is running out.
Having met the rhinos at the San Diego Zoo before she started her project, Ben-Nun and her lab staff went back to the zoo to celebrate and see the rhinos after their paper was published in a September issue of
Nature Methods
, a prestigious science journal. The lab's accomplishments are outlined in the paper to inspire labs around the world to try doing the same.
Since the paper was published, Ben-Nun has been contacted by several labs offering to sequence the genomes of the drill and the rhino, another step to ensuring their survival.
"The best way to manage extinctions is to preserve species and their habitats," says Ryder, "but that's not working all the time."
Stem cell research can improve reproductive success and increase the gene pool. Ben-Nun, a mother of two, started on the groundbreaking project in 2008.
After one year of trial and error, the team found that the genes that create pluripotency in humans worked for the drill and the rhino. Only a few stem cells are produced each time, but this is enough: "We have the start of a new zoo, the stem-cell zoo," says Ben-Nun.

We just passed that today.
If market wasn't so weak in general, we probably would close above that $23.80 today.
Intel (INTC) Crosses Pivot Point Resistance at $23.80
3 minutes ago - Comtex SmarTrend(R) via Comtex
Comtex SmarTrend(R)SmarTrend has detected shares of Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) have bullishly opened above the pivot of $23.26 today and have reached the first resistance level of $23.80.
We are watching for a cross of the next upside pivot targets of $24.10 and $24.94. Also, the shares are currently trading above the 50-day moving average of $20.87 and above the 200-day moving average of $20.53.
In the last five trading sessions, the 50-day MA has climbed 0.36% while the 200-day MA has remained constant.
In the past 52 weeks, shares of Intel have traded between a low of $17.60 and a high of $23.56 and are now at $23.81, which is 35% above that low price.
SmarTrend currently has shares of Intel in an Uptrend and issued the Uptrend alert on April 20, 2011 at $21.19. The stock has risen 10.9% since the Uptrend alert was issued.
Market is behaving confidently that tomorrow will be a NON EVENT! This stock will be up OVER $1 tomorrow on "non event" data!:) RELENTLESS ACCUM here for the longer term...the 1st $2 BUMP in price here MATTERS for ULTIMATE %%% GAINS!!!!
INTC has an On balance Volumn of over 8,250,000 as of this moment.
Dreamed up technical barriers are foolish here this stock is underway for $40.00
Took my first Edwards and McGee class at 40 Wall in 1959
For your own benefit? For the stock benefit? Because of technical analysis?
Just because it's a feel good number for you?
Just curious. I'd love to see it go up more, but am just curious to see your logic...
Go Bruins!
Critical pivot point resistance for a longer breakout to $25.20+.
INTC is at 52-week highs and most technical analysis sites don't have any resistance points above 52-week high we hit today.
$23.80 is the PIVOT POINT R1 level but I can see that being "critical".
The PP is $23.26 but I don't see INTC dropping back to that level. It likes $23.50 which makes me think there is some large trades in the option market being finalized.
Because he is full of bs

NOOK Simple Touch with GlowLight for $139
16 Comments add a comment
Or, get the old deal on a Simple Touch AND a Nook Color that's still a better deal:
Ah, so this is what they were coming out with and why they've been selling the Simple Touch cheaper lately. Pretty neat. Still seems to have really good battery life even with the glow light on.
@havocsback: I bought one of these sets the last time it was advertised. the only downside is that buying cases and screen protectors almost cost as much as the devices.
@havocsback: Except that it is sold out.
Not that it wasn't a great deal, (I've grabbed it too!)
@markpsw: Odd, it still shows them available. Rooted the Color, pretty quick. Considering rooting the Touch, but that doesn't seem as cut & dried- yet.
And yes, I realize the deal at hand is backlit, and they did a nice job of it. I just can't see spending the extra cash for that feature, but that's me.
It says on the Barnes And Noble site that this is a pre-order and won't be available until May 1st.
Thanks for the heads-up though, I'm tempted even though I already have a Nook Simple Touch.
This is the idea that I have been waiting for. I hate trying to dodge glare at night from my LED book light on my 1st gen nook. Also just a side note, if you read they describe this nook as being "...amazing in bed... and at the beach." I laughed pretty hard.
So it's like the Afterburner mod for GBA. Kind of surprised there haven't been 3rd party kits for e-ink readers already.
I just recently got a Nook Simple Touch, sans-glow (obviously). I can't speak for the one with the light, but I find the e-ink to be as easy to read in most lowlight situations as paper, which is good enough for me. I admit the light would be convenient at times, though. As far as the reader itself and interface, it's done all the things I was hoping for in an e-reader and I use it very regularly.
@publiclurker: not really, I bought a case for 10 bucks and a light + screen protectors were bogo at barnes and noble the last time I was there
Pretty slick and probably worth the ease of use.
Wouldn't the back lighting kind of defeat of purpose of the e-ink? Just seems like it would make it more like reading off of a screen. I guess with the adjustable brightness it would be okay...
@luciddreamz613: Not necessarily. Considering that eInk's readability and ease on the eyes is its last defense against tablets that aren't much more expensive anymore, protecting the integrity of that experience would have to be the most important part of the tech.
Gizmodo gave it a glowing review:
I'm tempted - but as a kindle-user I think I'm going to wait for the kindle lighted version that supposed to be coming out soon (http://www.geek.com/articles/gadgets/amazon-experimenting-with-front-lit-display-for-next-kindle-2012046/). Unless the lighted kindle is overpriced, that is. Then I might give the nook a second look.
I'm glad to see this coming out; it's about time they had one with a built-in light. I use a Kindle myself (pre-ordered the Touch late last year) so I won't be buying one, but it's nice to see it out there. (I don't have a real B&N closer than 1 1/2 hours away, so any in-store stuff was useless)
Although I must say, the part about "No Annoying Ads" upset me a bit (well, upset may be too strong a word). The ads on the Kindle are not annoying, and are not distracting, and don't impose at all on your reading (no more than any still-image screensaver would, which the Kindle's always had, and I believe the nook has too). There is one small banner ad at the bottom of the main book list screen, and a full-screen ad when it's turned off. They're both static, don't change unless you turn off the device (new full-screen image each time it's turned off, and a new banner ad at the bottom when it's turned on, to go with the full-screen.

Young Survival Coalition a Winner of the 2007 National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund's Best Practices
Young Survival Coalition a Winner of the 2007 National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund's Best Practices in Advocacy Awards
New York, New York - (November 28, 2007)
Young Survival Coalition a Winner of the 2007 National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund's Best Practices in Advocacy Awards
The National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund (NBCCF) has selected the Young Survival Coalition (YSC) as one of four winners of the 2007 Best Practices in Breast Cancer Advocacy Awards. The Young Survival Coalition is being recognized with a $50,000 award for its Young Women's Breast Cancer Registry program, a data source aimed at furthering research studies and addressing causal factors of breast cancer in women younger than 40 years of age.
"NBCCF chose the Young Survival Coalition as a 2007 Best Practices winner for its young Women's Breast Cancer Registry program because rather than impacting breast cancer one Survival at a time, this program focuses on change that affects the larger research and system," said Fran Visco, president of the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund. NBCCF firmly believes that in order to eradicate breast cancer, incremental change is not enough: we must fundamentally change the systems of research and health care.Young Survival Coalition has successfully brought meaningful change to the world of breast cancer and exemplifies advocacy in action – and has moved beyond raising awareness to important and impactful action."
We are thrilled to have the support of NBCCF which will allow the YSC to further the influence of research being conducted on young women diagnosed with breast cancer. It is our hope that if we can provide researchers with vital information on young women diagnosed with breast cancer perhaps this information can be used to unlock the keys as to why all women are diagnosed with breast cancer," added Michele Przypyszny, CEO of the Young Survival Coalition.
In addition to the Young Survival Coalition, the other three recipients of the 2007 Best Practices Awards are: SHARE, New York, N.Y.; Nueva Vida, Washington, D.C; and The Catherine Peachey Fund, New York, N.Y.
The Best Practices in Advocacy awards are made possible by a generous grant from the Breast Cancer Fund of the National Philanthropic Trust.
The National Breast Cancer Coalition is a grassroots membership organization dedicated to ending breast cancer through the power of action and advocacy. Along with its research and education arm the National Breast Cancer Coalition Fund, the Coalition's main goals are to increase federal funding for breast cancer research; improve access to high-quality health care and breast cancer clinical trials for all women; and expand the influence of breast cancer advocates wherever breast cancer decisions are made. For more information, visit www.stopbreastcancer.org.
The Young Survival Coalition was founded in 1998 by three women diagnosed with breast cancer under the age of 35 who were discouraged by the lack of information available to young women diagnosed with the disease. With 23,000 constituents, 11 full-time staff people, and 15 volunteer groups nationwide, the YSC works to change the face of breast cancer by advocating for more research on young women and breast cancer and providing this underserved population with vital programs and services dedicated to their needs so as to increase their quality and quantity of life and to decrease the sense of isolation they feel.

The Church calls for an end to war and to the death penalty. But both can still be used under certain circumstances, and it is possible to support such use and still be pro-life.
The reason is that the death penalty and war are carried out precisely for the defense of innocent human life, when all other means fail. While abortion always destroys innocent life, that is not true regarding war and capital punishment. The justified use of war and capital punishment to defend life requires that great care is taken to avoid harming the innocent.

It is often desirable to get visual help of what markup code in a text actually does whithout having to decipher it explicitely. For this purpose Emacs and AUCTeX provide font locking (also known as syntax highlighting) which visually sets off markup code like macros or environments by using different colors or fonts. For example text to be typeset in italics can be displayed with an italic font in the editor as well, or labels and references get their own distinct color.
While font locking helps you grasp the purpose of markup code and separate markup from content, the markup code can still be distracting. AUCTeX lets you hide those parts and show them again at request with its built-in support for hiding macros and environments which we call folding here.
Besides folding of macros and environments, AUCTeX provides support for Emacs' outline mode which lets you narrow the buffer content to certain sections of your text by hiding the parts not belonging to these sections.

Font locking is supposed to improve readability of the source code by highlighting certain keywords with different colors or fonts. It thereby lets you recognize the function of markup code to a certain extent without having to read the markup command. For general information on controlling font locking with Emacs' font lock mode, see section `Font Lock Mode' in GNU Emacs Manual.
Besides font-latex AUCTeX ships with a scheme which is derived
from Emacs' default LaTeX mode and activated by choosing
tex-font-setup. Be aware that this scheme is not coupled with
AUCTeX's style system and not the focus of development. Therefore
and due to font-latex being much more feature-rich the following
explanations will only cover font-latex.
In case you want to hook in your own fontification scheme, you can
other and insert the name of the function which sets up
your font locking patterns. If you want to disable fontification in
AUCTeX completely, choose
font-latex provides many options for customization which are accessible with M-x customize-group RET font-latex RET. For this description the various options are explained in conceptional groups.
Highlighting of macros can be customized by adapting keyword lists which
can be found in the customization group
font-latex-keywords. The
lists contain names of macros without the leading backslash.
Three types of macros can be handled differently with respect to fontification:
font-lock-keyword-face will be used and for the optional
arguments the face
font-lock-variable-name-face. The face
applied to the mandatory argument depends on the macro class represented
by the respective built-in variables.
font-lock-keyword-face and the text will get
the face configured for the respective macro class. If no TeX group
is present, the latter face will be applied to the macro itself.
font-latex provides keyword lists for different macro classes which are described in the following table:
Sectioning commands are macros like `\chapter' or `\section'.
For these commands there are two fontification schemes which may be
selected by customizing the variable
font-lock-type-face will be used to fontify the argument of
the command.
LaTeX provides various macros for changing fonts or font attributes. For example, you can select an italic font with `\textit{...}' or bold with `\textbf{...}'. An alternative way to specify these fonts is to use special macros in TeX groups, like `{\itshape ...}' for italics and `{\bfseries ...}' for bold. As mentioned above, we call the former variants commands and the latter declarations.
Besides the macros for changing fonts provided by LaTeX there is an infinite number of other macros--either defined by yourself for logical markup or defined by macro packages--which affect the font in the typeset text. While LaTeX's built-in macros and macros of packages known by AUCTeX are already handled by font-latex, different keyword lists per type style and macro type are provided for entering your own macros which are listed in the table below.
In case the customization options explained above do not suffice for
your needs, you can specify your own keyword classes by customizing the
When adding new entries, you have to use unique values for the class names, i.e. they must not clash with names of the built-in keyword classes or other names given by you. Additionally the names must not contain spaces.
The keywords are names of commands you want to match omitting the leading backslash.
The face argument can either be an existing face or font specifications made by you. (The latter option is not available on XEmacs.)
There are three alternatives for the type of keywords---"Command with arguments", "Declaration inside TeX group" and "Command without arguments"---which correspond with the macro types explained above.
Text in quotation marks is displayed with the face
font-latex-string-face. Besides the various forms of opening and
closing double and single quotation marks so-called guillemets (<<, >>)
can be used for quoting. Because there are two styles of using
them--French style: << text >>; German style: >>text<<---you can
customize the variable
font-latex-quotes to tell font-latex
which type you are using.
In order to make math constructs more readable, font-latex displays
subscript and superscript parts in a smaller font and raised or lowered
respectively. This fontification feature can be controlled with the
font-latex-fontify-script and
Note that this feature is not available on XEmacs, for whicht it is disabled per default. In GNU Emacs raising and lowering is not enabled for versions 21.3 and before due to it working not properly.
Usually it is not desirable to have content to be typeset verbatim
highlighted according to LaTeX syntax. Therefore this content will
be fontified uniformly with the face
font-latex differentiates three different types of verbatim constructs for fontification and consequently provides three keyword lists for customization.
font-latex-verb-like-commands the macro's argument is enclosed in
a TeX group and not two arbitrary characters.
Font locking in LaTeX source code often involves constructs spanning
more than one line of text. For these constructs to be handled
correctly GNU Emacs as well as font-latex provide mechanisms for
multi-line fontification which can be controlled by the variable
Setting the variable to t will enable font-latex's mechanism, setting it to nil will disable it. Setting it to `try-font-lock' (the default) will use font-lock's mechanism if available and font-latex's method if not.
Setting this variable will only have effect after resetting buffers controlled by font-latex or restarting Emacs.
In case you want to change the colors and fonts used by font-latex please refer to the faces mentioned in the explanations above and use M-x customize-face RET <face> RET. All faces defined by font-latex are accessible through a customization group by typing M-x customize-group RET font-latex-highlighting-faces RET.

There can be macros and environments which have content that is not part of the text body you are writing, like footnotes and citations. Those enclose text which you often only want to see while actually editing it and which otherwise distract your view of the document body. Similarly there are macros where you are not interested in viewing the macro besides its content but rather want to see the content only, like font specifiers where the content might already be fontified in a special way by font locking.
With AUCTeX's folding functionality you can collapse those items and replace them by either a fixed string or the content of one of their arguments instead. If you want to make the original text visible again temporarily in order to view or edit it, move point sideways onto the placeholder (also called display string) or left-click with the mouse pointer on it. (The latter is currently only supported on GNU Emacs.) The macro or environment will unfold automatically, stay open as long as point is inside of it and collapse again once you move point out of it. (Note that folding of environments currently does not work in every AUCTeX mode.)
In order to use this feature, you have to activate
which will activate the auto-reveal feature and the necessary commands
to hide and show macros and environments. You can activate the mode in
a certain buffer by typing the command M-x TeX-fold-mode RET or
using the keyboard shortcut C-c C-o C-f. If you want to use it
every time you edit a LaTeX document, add it to a hook:
(add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook '(lambda () (TeX-fold-mode 1)))
If it should be activated in all AUCTeX modes, use
TeX-mode-hook instead of
Once the mode is active there are several commands available to hide and show macros and environments:
TeX-fold-macro-spec-list and
TeX-fold-env-spec-list. This
command can also be used to refresh the whole buffer and hide any new
macros and environments which were inserted after the last invocation of
the command.
the respective display string will be shown instead. If it is not
found, the name of the macro in sqare brackets or the default string for
unspecified macros (
TeX-fold-unspec-macro-display-string) will be
shown, depending on the value of the variable
TeX-fold-macro and determined by the variables
TeX-fold-env-spec-list and
TeX-fold-unspec-env-display-string respectively.
The commands above will only take macros or environments into
consideration which are specified in the variable
TeX-fold-macro-spec-list or
The placeholder is made by copying the text from the buffer together with
its properties, i.e. its face as well. If fontification has not
happened when this is done (e.g. because of lazy font locking) the
intended fontification will not show up. As a workaround you can leave
Emacs idle a few seconds and wait for stealth font locking to finish
before you fold the buffer. Or you just re-fold the buffer with
TeX-fold-buffer when you notice a wrong fontification.
TeX-fold-unspec-macro-display-string or
TeX-fold-unspec-env-display-string respectively.

AUCTeX supports the standard outline minor mode using LaTeX/ConTeXt sectioning commands as header lines. See section `Outline Mode' in GNU Emacs Manual.
You can add your own headings by setting the variable
Each element is a list with two entries. The first entry is the regular expression matching a header, and the second is the level of the header. A `^' is automatically prepended to the regular expressions in the list, so they must match text at the beginning of the line.
LaTeX-section-list or
for existing header levels.
The following example add `\item' and `\bibliography' headers, with `\bibliography' at the same outline level as `\section', and `\item' being below `\subparagraph'.
(setq TeX-outline-extra '(("[ \t]*\\\\\\(bib\\)?item\\b" 7) ("\\\\bibliography\\b" 2)))
You may want to check out the unbundled `out-xtra' package for even better outline support. It is available from your favorite emacs lisp archive.

Geoff Latham of Nicky Farms / Nicky USA proudly showed his one-of-a-kind Mobile Processing Unit at their farm in Aurora, Oregon on June 22, 2014. The unit will be used to process sustainably and humanely raised fowl and rabbit and four-legged game such as pheasant, turkey, goat, deer, and even emu. Master Butcher Jace Hentges walked guests through the trailer.
Meanwhile, Nicky Farms goats are cavorting in a field with a grand view of Mt. Hood on the certified-organic farm along the Pudding River. They are the beginning of the animals that will be raised on the farm and will eventually reach our plates at the best restaurants in the Northwest. By having a USDA-approved processing unit on site, they will have a peaceful and humane end. The processing unit will travel to a couple of selected farms in the area to process meat and fowl, but it will chiefly be used on site at Nicky Farms. Emu are being raised by Dick's Kitchen owner Richard Satnick to supply his paleo menu and they will be processed by the unit.
The processing unit is unique in that it is set up for both fowl and rabbit and for larger animals. It has passed State of Oregon inspection and will soon be passing USDA standards. It has seamless construction inside to ensure it can be completely cleaned without any microbes lurking in crevices. Meat goes from processing right into a chill room to ensure the best freshness and purity.
Guests enjoyed a Field Day at the farm including an Olympic Provisions hot dog eating contest, scavenger hunt, and bbq dinner. Chef Andrew Garrett grilled rabbit, goat, and Tails & Trotters pork. He debuted the latest addition to his NW Elixirs hot sauce line, the Ghost Chili sauce, Hott Jolokia, which is aged in rumberries. It was a little sweet and nicely hot while still having a complex mix of flavor -- like the other great NW Elixirs sauces.
The farm processing unit is the latest addition to Nicky Farms' production of humanely and sustainably raised meat. Previously, I toured their processing plant in inner SE Portland.

Khloe Kardashian may have listed the home she once shared with her husband, Lamar Odom, but it sounds like she is ready to move on from the marriage. She has been trying to hang out with friends and she has been working out in the gym to get her body back in shape. After all, looking great is the best form of revenge. But Khloe isn't the only one working out. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Jan. 8, Khloe Kardashian's estranged husband, Lamar Odom, is apparently back at training to get his career back on track.
Apparently, he has been working hard on working out and getting back into shape after he spent a couple of months supposedly drinking, doing drugs and ignoring his wife. "He's become a fixture on the hiking trail," says an eyewitness. "He looks really healthy and is clearly working out hard."
One can imagine that he wants to get back on a team, no matter what it takes. Another onlooker adds, "Celebrities come to to get away from the craziness of Hollywood and it seems to be working for Lamar because he keeps coming back." He isn't as active on social media as other celebrities, so he has managed to keep himself under the radar for a while. But it sounds like he wants to get back into it. "He looks like he's truly working hard to make a change," a source adds.
Do you think he will get signed to a new team?

Model, Camera, Mars, Pathfinder Lander
The Imager For Mars Pathfinder (IMP) consists of three physical subassemblies: (1) camera head (with stereo optics, filter wheel, charge-coupled device (CCD) and pre-amp, mechanisms and stepper motors); (2) extendable mast with electronic cabling; and (3) two plug-in electronics cards (CCD data card and power supply/motor drive card) which plug into slots in the Warm Electronics Box within the lander. A number of atmospheric investigations are carried out using IMP images. A magnetic properties investigation is also included as part of that investigation. This instrument was assembled into the Mars Pathfinder Lander in 2003.
NASA transferred this camera to the Museum with the Pathfinder engineering model in 1999.

Measurement of linear displacements, movements, velocities in dirty Environments, Very precise angular measurement on the circumference using pole wheels, Torque measurement in harsh environment
Engine and Vehicle, General Industry
Moving a KMXP sensor along a magnetic scale will produce a sine and a cosine output signal as a function of its position. In order to deliver satisfying results, this will be achieved as long as the air gap between sensor edge and magnetic scale surface does not exceed approximately half of the pole pitch. As the sensor principle is based on the anisotropic magneto resistance effect, the signal amplitudes are nearly independent on the magnetic field strength and therefore air gap variations do not have a strong effect on the accuracy. The sensor detects a magnetic gradient field and is thus almost insensitive to homogenous stray fields.

Or you can be happy with them.

College Hockey:RIT Clinches Atlantic Hockey with Shutout Win Over Air Force
DeMichiel stops 27
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The RIT Tigers scored three times in a 10-minute span during the second period and gave an inspired defensive effort en route to clinching the Atlantic Hockey crown Saturday night at Ritter Arena by a score of 3-0. In the last four seasons, the Tigers have been crowned the AHA Champions three times, while splitting the 2009 Championship with Air Force.
"When you beat Air Force, it's a pretty rewarding feeling," said RIT coach Wayne Wilson. "They came out fast in the first 10 minutes tonight, but we were able to take advantage of opportunities. I really felt like the difference in tonight's game was the way our defense played. They have continued to perform well on both ends of the ice.
After an overtime defeat last night, Air Force came out in the first period determined to get off to a fast start.
"I liked how we came out tonight; we played hard and had a lot of juice in the beginning of the first period, but we unfortunately had some bad breaks throughout the game." said Air Force coach Frank Serratore.
After a scoreless first period, the Tigers struck just 3:11 into the second period on a Chris Haltigin goal.
Sophomore Scott Knowles sent a cross-ice pass to Haltigin, who was sitting at the top of the Falcons' zone. He fired the puck over the right shoulder of Air Force goaltender Andrew Volkening to put the Tigers on the board 1-0.
"They utilized a five-man offense the way big time teams usually do," said Serratore. "They are playing the way they want to be playing right now."
RIT made the score 2-0 just seven minutes later when defensemen Chris Tanev took a centering pass from Andrew Favot and fired the puck past Volkening on the far side of the net off a Falcons' giveaway.
The only power play goal of the night came at 12:50 in the second period, as Dan Ringwald netted his 10th goal of the season, making the score 3-0. He batted down a pass from Favot, and once again beat Volkening high.
"The third goal really hurt us," said Serratore. "When you're within two, you have the opportunity to score a quick one and change momentum, but when you're down three, it's tough to swing that momentum your way."
Air Force had some of its best chances on four power-plays during the third period, but DeMichael was excellent, saving all 11 shots that he faced over the final 20 minutes.
"We played very poised in the third period, allowing us to finish the game strong," said Wilson.
The series between the two teams is now 12-12-2.
DeMichael now has five shutouts and is fourth nationally with a 2.11 goals against average. RIT is third in the nation defensively after tonight's performance.

Is it possible to setup a linux box so that it obtains authentication information from one LDAP server, and all other posix stuff (uid, groups, home directories, etc.) from another?
You may be wondering.. This seemingly unnecessary complication is necessitated by certain "policies" I need to follow: The user credentials are stored in some posix unaware official "enterprise" database which is harder to fix (and can not be modified other than through complicated manual bureaucratic process), and this linux box is not to allowed to authenticate against any other.
Other suggestions (e.g. solutions involving configuration of my OpenLDAP server) would also be invaluable.
Thank you!

High heels make our calves look fantastic, but they also contribute to our Aleve addiction. How many of us avoid turning to painkillers by stuffing a pair of flats into our purses? And this, of course, necessitates carrying around a gargantuan bag instead of that adorable jeweled clutch, which in turn contributes to back and shoulder problems - and we're back to the Aleve. Break the cycle with the Ambi Platform ($70). This brilliantly designed shoe hides a comfy flat inside a classy high heel. Those pumps start killing you? Whip them off and you'll already be wearing your adorable flats.

In survey after survey, the desire for good health ranks high on the list. However, achieving it has gotten more difficult because of busy schedules and conflicting information about proper food choices. Fast food is the easy option.
Megan Ware discovered fast food was behind her roller coaster energy level in high school sports. Sometimes she was the tortoise…sometimes the hare. On one of her unproductive days, her conditioning coach asked what she'd eaten for lunch. It was fast food. She knew she had to fuel her body with nutritious foods if she wanted to stay energized and improve her performance. In college, Megan decided to become a Registered Dietician and help others experience for themselves the difference nutrition makes. Her entrepreneurial spirit led her to design a company that would allow her to individualize programs for clients to help them reach their desired results.
Nutrition Awareness is based on the philosophy that diets don't work – "live-its" do. Adopting a healthy lifestyle is a process that involves progressive and manageable changes that foster permanent results. Not sure where to start or which foods are right for you? Are you a busy full-time mom or have an overwhelming work schedule? Do you need an individual plan, or one for the entire family? Megan can design a workable program just for you. Megan even offers a convenient Online Program, the 21-Day Challenge. Via email and video, you can go from blah to vibrant in just 3 weeks using your personalized online food diary and how-to tips designed by Megan.
The Dietician Spotlight Series on Megan's blog, along with her personal counseling, provides additional support by addressing significant topics and strategies:
* Foods that may be triggering chronic health symptoms such as headaches or fatigue
* A pantry and refrigerator makeover to reinforce smart grocery shopping habits
* Label-reading to encourage wise food selection
* Tips on dining out without sabotaging your goals for flexibility while you develop and maintain your healthy lifestyle
* Proper use of supplements
* Specifics for athletes and travelers
* Scrumptious recipes
* Networking with like-minded people for feedback and sharing results
* Customized exercise routine to complement your program so you never have to follow another fad diet again!
Whether you're getting in shape, shedding for the wedding or scheduling a Lunch-and-Learn at your office or club, Megan can develop a program or presentation that works for you!

Build Your Complete Shaving Kit
The shaving essentials described below are the basics you'll need to build a complete shaving kit. Sure, you may feel like you're on a Bravo reality show when you start stocking your medicine cabinet with oils and creams, but you will quickly see and feel the benefits of using a more complete shaving kit.
pre-shave productsBefore shaving, use an exfoliant scrub and hot water to open your pores. Ideally, you should shower before shaving, but simply wrapping a hot, wet towel around your face for a minute also works. Whichever method you choose, the goal is to get your skin supple and warm, and your whiskers fluffed.
OilsUsing a pre-shave oil is a must. It will soften facial hair and open skin pores to ensure a close shave.
The best pre-shave oils and creams use natural oils, such as coconut, sunflower, olive or other oils drawn from plants. Unlike mineral oil, natural oils are low on the grease factor, so they won't clog pores and cause damage to your skin. Also, keep your eyes open for pre-shave oils that contain antibacterial agents; these will help guard against breakouts and painful cuts.
Oils for electric shaversAll electric shavers come with blade oil, so make sure to keep it in your shaving kit. It's in your face's best interest that you do. Just put a dot of oil on the shaver's cutting block or blades, turn on the unit, and let the oil work its way through. This will help the shaver work properly and protect your hair from being ripped out by rickety blades.
There are also skin oils like Lectric Shave and Jack Black that are specially formulated for electric shavers. These oils make the hair stand up for a smoother cut, as well as create a sleek surface for the shaver to glide across.
Shaving powdersThere are two types of shaving powders. One is a depilatory powder, which is used mostly by black men to avoid razor bumps and ingrown hairs. The other kind is meant for use with electric shavers; it works like shaving oil, softening the hair and fluffing it up.

Explore the events that shaped the man behind the words. Find out more about the people he knew and the world that he lived in...
In the making of "In Search of Shakespeare," Michael Wood and the Maya Vision Production team undertook an enormous task. While much is known about the works of William Shakespeare, information about the man behind the words can be hard to find. Separating fact from rumor can be even harder.
Michael Wood, immersedin the sixteenth-centuryThe Dossier is one result of the countless hours of research that went into show. Arranged in chronological order, the dossier timeline provides details of the key events that shaped the life of William Shakespeare.
In exploring the timeline you will also find links to the biographies of the people involved, the places that they knew and the documentary evidence that helps untangle fact from fiction:
Explore the Dossier timeline
The Fribbling Reports are an entertaining exploration of the life and times of the most famous writer in history. Set in 1584, we follow John Fribbling, an entirely fictional agent of the State, in his dogged and ineffectual pursuit of one William Shakespeare, suspected Papist, known thinker.
While John Fribbling never actually existed, and there is no evidence that William Shakespeare was actively investigated by spies of the state, Shakespeare did live in a time of suspicion and paranoia in a country that was undergoing political, religious and social upheaval. Spies were everywhere; persecution was rife.
The characters and events that Fribbling describes are as real and as accurate as possible, based on the extensive research of Michael Wood and the production team during the making of "In Search of Shakespeare." Our fictional Agent Fribbling provides an entertaining account of the society that existed 400 years ago.

One of our New Year's Resolutions is to go from only going to gym twice a week to take a spinning class with our friend, to going four times a week and incorporating some strength training. We're pretty sure we can't accomplish this unless we have a fabulous new gym bag, so we're going to go ahead and order this Lug Life Cartwheel Overnight/Gym Bag ($76), which looks pretty energizing to us.

Students Selected to Kansas Athletic Trainers' Society Honor Roll
Nine athletic training students from Sterling College have been selected by the Kansas Athletic Trainers' Society to join their 2011 academic honor roll.
The students were given KATS honors for their distinguishably high academic achievement. KATS recognizes undergraduate athletic training students in accredited programs throughout the state.
"I'm really proud of those kids that get to be recognized for their work at the state level," said Pete Manely, director of athletic training. "Sterling was well-represented in comparison with other NAIA schools in the state. Our program GPA is 3.3."
Whitney Love of Grand Junction, Colo., and Christina Smith of Overland Park, Kan., were given first team all-academic honors. To earn first team honors, students have to be full-time undergraduate students with junior status or higher and have maintained a minimum 3.8 average GPA.
Second team honors were given to Kerby Rice of Smith Center, Kan., and Lacey Rhoads of Peoria, Ariz., for maintaining a minimum 3.6 average GPA and meeting the rest of the requirements met by the first team.
Danielle Burk of Wichita, Kan., Robin Flowers of Meade, Kan., Sara Steria of Bend, Ore., Brennan Hodge of Chandler, Ariz., and Beckie Smiley of McPherson, Kan., received honorable mention honors for maintaining an average GPA of 3.4 or above and meeting the rest of the requirements met by the first team.
