At this point there are no Windows* 8 drivers developed for this platform and there is no information on plans to develop and release a compatible driver.

Win8 driver for GMA600 is what all GMA600 users want. But the intel driver support is just ********
I dont know whether they cant or they wont support it... In my opinion they dont care about us.. they hope we'll throws our Windows tablets in the garbage and buy new i5 tablets for thousands of $/€.
iam ****** of .. this ****** intel support sucks... my next harware is AMD for sure...

Developer Support Engineer, PowerVR Graphics Imagination Technologies:
"We supply Intel with our reference drivers which they use as a basis for their own drivers. We have no control over when they will release drivers and we cannot release drivers directly to end users for their platforms.
It's our customer's responsibility to support drivers on any platforms that use our GPUs. You should contact Intel to ask for an updated driver."
Microsoft and Fujitsu say also that intel has to provide new drivers.
so please react!

The driver situation and support for the GMA 500 and 600 GPUs used in many netbooks, MIDs, and tablets is completely unacceptable.
Current Windows 7 drivers fail to use a large portion of hardware acceleration. This is especially true in DirectX and any advanced form of video. The basic Windows 7 drivers for both GPU platforms should be able to at least decode standard H.264 video at 720P, which currently causes much stuttering, audio latency and dropped video frames. The same PowerVR SGX 535 core is used in various iOS and Android devices has no issues playing video including 1080P material via MDL or HDMI (iPad, iPhone 4, Galaxy S series, Galaxy Tab, etc.). Clearly we're not getting driver optimizations other vendors are willing to invest in for their platforms.
Even Windows WEI scores and other benchmarks point to poorly optimized drivers. A Z540 with a GMA 500 @ 200 MHz scores 4.6 Aero Desktop and 2.5 in Gaming Graphics performance with v2208 drivers built from IEGD kits (stock Intel 2048 drivers are around 2.3/2.5 as I recall). Meanwhile, the GMA 600 @ 400 MHz scores 2.9 in Aero Desktop and 3.0 in Gaming Graphics with v3077 drivers. The inconsistency of these scores reflects clearly the break in Intel's support.
Further, current release drivers for Windows 7 for both GPUs (v2048 & v3077) demonstrate a variety of graphics corruption even with programs as common as MS Office 2010 (flashing taskbar and titlebar bits).
Flash and HTML5 video from YouTube stutters graphically and audio even at 480P resolution. Rolling a system back to the Microsoft Software Graphics will actually improve video quality at the expense of forcing everything through the CPU.
It would be one thing if these were significantly old GPUs which Intel never claimed any hardware acceleration support, but this isn't the case. The GMA 600 GPU is about 2 years old and used nearly exclusively in hardware where it cannot be replaced. The GMA 500, while old enough to potentially warrant twilight status, has gotten better (though mediocre) support. Better support for one platform in this case largely results in better support for both platforms due to the amount of similarities.
Below is what Intel claimed with the GMA 600 series, only about half of that slide is remotely reasonable to say true, even if one ignores the lack of proper hardware acceleration in favor of poorly optimized OpenGL and D3D functions.
AnandTech - Intel Unveils Moorestown and the Atom Z600, The Fastest Smartphone Platform?
Now we're getting told that Intel will not produce Windows 8 drivers for GMA 600 / 500 platforms. This is even after 6 months ago, multiple OEMs had apparently gotten authorization to say GMA 600 products would receive driver support from Intel (Fujitsu - Q550, HP - Slate 2, Kupa - X11, Dell - various netbooks -- some of these devices are barely a year old from release).
The same applies to Linux and Android, where with the GMA 500 for example, one of Intel's own employees was able to produce an OpenGL capable and accelerated driver 2 years ago from source code sitting in Intel's repositories (Viliv S5 Android Port Well Under Way, Could Pave Way for Android x86 Devices). (I hope I am not going to cause him any trouble by drudging that back up). Further, people have been forced to use IEGD drivers they compile themselves to get performance in Windows 7 where one would expect at least decent support.
The sad part is that merely fixing the Windows 7 drivers in their current state would solve most Windows 8 acceleration problems. Plenty of people are using Windows 8 builds (Dev RP, CP, RTM) just fine with Windows 7 drivers for their graphics subsystem. The fact that Windows 8 does not work with GMA 500 / 600 drivers for Windows 7 indicates just how broken they are at the moment.
If Intel is not going to support these platforms, please work with ImgTec to release some degree of source code and development resources or at least hand them off under NDAs to OEMs and Microsoft so they may produce competent drivers.
Other information about Windows 8 and GMA 500 / 600 devices. Note their links to Notebookcheck.com which indicates better Directx (10.1 SM 4.1) on the GMA 500, and only a 40-50% performance boost in synthetic 3D benchmarks for the GMA 600 despite being 100% faster clocked:
GMA600(400MHZ) driver port GMA500(200MHZ) ?
More commentary regarding Windows drivers:
The effect of OS on GMA 500 - AnandTech Forums
More Intel presentation slides and claims of 1080P video support on Z6xx / GMA 600 (still unfulfilled):
Intel's own demos and claims regarding GMA 600 performance. (Dx 10.1, nope, OpenGL 2.1, nope, OpenVG, nope) Can we at least get the prototype higher performance drivers used here:
At this point, one must wonder if a class action against Intel for misrepresenting their product would be in order.
One last edit, can we get someone at Intel to acknowledge Apple's role in conjunction with Imagination Technology as a stumbling block in bringing drivers forward for the GMA 500 / 600 series under Windows, Linux, and Android. Everyone close to the semiconductor industry is well aware of Apple's predatory IP policies, and I suspect they are the only ones licensed to directly incorporate ImgTec / PowerVR source code directly in their drivers. Several chip foundries and developers have turned Apple down in the last few years specifically because of Apple's demands (TI comes to mind). There isn't really another justification as to why demo show drivers have such a huge performance delta against release drivers other than the source code can't even be used in Intel's release drivers. Further, this would explain why Intel has been unable to release even reasonable binary blob (pre-compiled) drivers for Linux and Android when it has been demonstrated otherwise by your own employees and tech shows.
Be honest, Intel got into bed with a bad partner in Imagination, and now has been shafted between Imagination and Tungsten Graphics with the unenviable job of reverse engineering drivers for the SGX 435 series from start to finish. It wouldn't even surprise me if specific features were covered under license which Intel could not use. Why else would some GMA 500 devices come with dedicated Broadcom chips for video decode when the PowerVR SGX 435 can do it natively? Apple under Steve Jobs specifically avoided direct competition at all costs, and it would be a huge coup if the various netbooks and tablets based on Atom Z5xx and Z6xx were able to compete against the iPad as full products under Windows or Android. Further, the release of Intel powered smartphones exclusively outside North America and Europe further bolsters this assumption. Also, any legitimate driver for the SGX 435 under Android or Windows RT would potentially enable hackers to run those OSes on iProducts.

Just want to give a shout out to Aaron for a thoroughly researched thread. While some of things Aaron wrote could never be able to be verified from the outside, there is a lot of truth in what he said about Apple's competitive behaviors. A lot of people admire and praise Apple for its creativity in product development and marketing area. But not many outside of the business know that Apple is extremely ruthless and efficient when dealing with IP, supply line management, and information control issues. Those are areas that the less glamours yet equally important to a tech company's success.
back to the topic. What are we going to do about this GMA 600, the crimped could have been? GMA 600 shares the same infamous video core as the older GMA 500 aka "Poulsbo" (Italian for piece of sh*t?) running at higher frequency. It seems that GMA 500 has a driver ver 2030 that runs decent in Windows 8 when installed in compatibility mode and the user of that chip are at least content with than user of GMA 600/3600 chip. So maybe there is hope if someone more technical inclined and has a GMA 500 device like HP Slate to check it out first and See if that GMA 500 driver supports openGL 2.1 in W8 (Gma 600 official driver doesn't in w8 and I and few suspects it is the main culpult for less than faster Metro App performance).
HP Slate with GMA 500, Win 8
If it works, perhaps we could somehow mod that GMA 500 driver for our use. (which would be quite ironic considering that there are GMA 500 users who want to mod GMA 600 drive to overclock their chip)
9. Re: GMA600 - Windows 8 driverAaron Sep 22, 2012 1:08 PM (in response to TechFans2012)
I should clarify that my opinions regarding Apple involvement is pure supposition based on available facts.
Many know that Imagination Technologies basically went under after making a foray into consumer 3D graphics with the Matrox M3D and similar in the late 90's. The PowerVR architecture was attempted to be reintroduced in the PC market several times with new iterations, but could never compete with 3Dfx and nVidia at the time for raw performance. They kept at it and moved their work into the mobile segment and were quiet for several years, with lots of restructuring during that time. The iPhone was their big take off back to prominence for PowerVR architecture. The work they did there managed to make them a name again and got them into many segments they would have never even gotten a call back from project management previously.
We know that Imagination Technologies has given driver source code to Intel, but that Intel flatly refuses to release drivers for any platform based on this source code, even in pre-compiled form. The most logical reason becomes that they can't due to licensing agreements with ImgTec.
The alternative is intentional malice on Intel's part to sell Cedar Trail, ULV Ivy Bridge, and Haswell down the line. I choose to not attribute to malice what can be sufficiently explained by incompetence, and in this case incompetence would boil down to poorly negotiated IP licensing.
Apple along with Samsung are likely the largest licensers of PowerVR IP by quite a margin over Intel. Apple likes to make IP deals that reach across the table to other parties, so there is a logic there that Apple's deals with ImgTec would restrict ImgTec's abilities to sell certain portions of IP to other parties or what those licenses may allow. Samsung has a good reputation in the industry as far as not being highly restrictive with their IP much less IP they are licensing from others.
Regarding driver swaps between GMA 500 and 600 platforms, while large chunks of source may be possible, be mindful that the memory interface was moved from 500's dedicated DMA style interface to the shared CPU interface. The core itself was moved from the Northbridge U15 to I *think* the same die as the CPU. While the execution engine itself may be identical, the communications interfaces received very significant overhauls which reduces the likelihood of compatible driver files.
The source code on the other hand should be exceptionally compatible as long as one is using the function subset during compilation for the interface bus appropriate to the platform.
Due to the process size difference, 130nm vs 45nm, for the GMA 500 and 600 respectively, I don't think anyone with a GMA 500 should have any hopes of running their cores at 400 MHz. If anything based on the process sizes, the 500 might be able to get the customary 10-15% overclock headroom, and the 600 more like 25-30%, though more dependent on CPU thermal state.

Many dogs love to ride in the car, but some dogs, and most cats, do not. Even
pets who enjoy the car may not do as well on very long trips. Air travel may get
the trip over faster, but it can be extremely stressful for your pet. Traveling
with pets can be a hassle, but good preparation will ease the stress for
General Travel Info:
All traveling pets (even close to home) should wear a collar or harness with
current ID tags. If you haven't already done so, consider micro-chipping your
pet. (Rumors about microchips causing cancer are greatly exaggerated). Be sure
the chip is registered and kept up-to-date in an appropriate database, and bring
the chip number and registry contact information with you in a separate pocket
or purse.
If you will be crossing state lines on your trip, you are legally required to
have a current domestic health certificate for your pet(s). This requires
examination by an accredited veterinarian within a certain time frame (typically
10-30 days). Each state has its own rules, so be sure to ask the states you'll
be traveling to (or through) for their requirements. A list of state
veterinarians, with contact information, can be found online at the
Vet World website.
If you're traveling outside the U.S., a special USDA-issued international
health certificate is necessary. It's best to contact that country's consulate
or embassy for the most up-to-date information. Most countries require a current
rabies vaccine; many require a microchip; and some impose a quarantine. A list
of consulates can be found online at the
U.S. Department of State's
Air Travel
Most airlines (and most U.S. destinations) require a current health
certificate, as described above. Contact your destination state and carrier for
specific requirements.
"Envision a world where pets fly as family members." Having trouble seeing such a place? Animal Airways and their Terminal 4 Pets is trying to change that negative stigma. Together, the companies' version of the flying-with-animals-experience includes services like veteran pet travel agents, professional couriers and escorts and, now, veterinarians in 10 languages on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Pet Airways is definitely worth
checking out for pets who must travel by air. On this pets-only airline, animals
travel in a pressurized cabin with a human attendant who checks them frequently.
Prices are reasonable, and more destination cities are being added all the time.
In the Cabin
On domestic flights (except to Hawaii), a limited number of pets may be
permitted in the cabin. Reservations are required, and there will likely be a
significant extra charge. There is usually a 20 pound total weight limit for
both the pet and the carrier. For in-cabin flight, you can use a sturdy fabric carrier
that will fit under the seat.
Other items to bring along include your pet's favorite treats and toys, a
harness and leash, pet-safe cleaning wipes, and holistic remedies for anxiety
and motion sickness. See the list below and our
Travel Checklist for more
In Cargo
If your pet must travel in the cargo bay, there are some additional
• Your pet must be secured in an appropriately-sized hard case, with filled
food and water cups.
• Freeze the water in your pet's travel carrier dish to help your pet stay
hydrated longer. (Add flower essences to the water before freezing for a
constant source of comfort!)
• Do not tranquilize pets in flight! Tranquilizers impair the body's ability
to regulate its temperature—a potentially fatal problem. Use natural remedies
such as flower essences, homeopathics, or herbs (see below) instead.
• Carry a leash with you so that you can walk your dog (or—if your cat is
used to it—use a
kitty harness and leash)
before you check in and after you arrive at your destination. For your pet's
safety, do not put the leash inside the carrier with the animal--it could become
tangled or stuck, or your pet may chew on the leash.
• In warm weather, book a non-stop flight early in the morning or late at
night when temperatures are cooler. In cold weather, consider a microwaveable
heating pad to place under the carrier bedding.
• Use a permanent marker to label the kennel with your pet's name, the words
"LIVE ANIMAL" (or use a pre-printed sticker). Add a tag with your contact
information, both in route and at the destination. Use tape or paint to make the
kennel uniquely identifiable and easy to spot.
• Once you board the plane, ask a flight attendant to confirm that your pet
is safely in the cargo hold. The flight crew will have access to the manifest
and other documentation to confirm this for you.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 4, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc) announced it has received a first-of-its-kind $1-million planned gift from visionary Los Angeles developer Tom Gilmore. This generous gift will support SCI-Arc's design and architecture faculty through the creation of the school's first named chair, the Gilmore City Chair. "This gift represents a major investment in SCI-Arc and will help us support the education of our outstanding student body and position the school for a stronger future," said Board of Trustees Chairman Jerry Neuman.
In responding to Gilmore's generosity, Director Eric Owen Moss quoted Machiavelli, "I believe the greatest good to be done is that which one does to one's own city." Moss continued, "In Gilmore's case, he has done the greatest good. Los Angeles is a better city because of his efforts, and now SCI-Arc is a stronger school because of his generosity. We look forward to the creation of the Gilmore City Chair and the permanent focus it will bring to the exploration of cities at SCI-Arc."
When Gilmore, a trustee since 2001, approached SCI-Arc about including the school in his estate plans, a dialogue about his interests ensued. "Design, architecture and cities have played a defining role in my life," he said, "and these interests originally led me to SCI-Arc. As I began to consider my gift, I wanted to acknowledge these influences in a meaningful way. The idea of creating a named chair, the Gilmore City Chair, seemed like a natural fit."
SCI-Arc's strategic positioning at the center of the changing urban landscape of Los Angeles provides unparalleled opportunities for its students and faculty to challenge the notions of the modern city. Dense city architecture involves an inherent interaction of economic, social, political, ecological and technological forces demanding multi-disciplinary review and collaboration. The Gilmore City Chair at SCI-Arc will be committed to the study of these issues, not only as they apply to the city of Los Angeles, but to cities around the world, which will be examined and reimagined through the creative lens of the SCI-Arc community.
A native New Yorker and architect by training, Gilmore moved to Los Angeles in the early 1990s, a time when the historic core of downtown Los Angeles has been all but abandoned. Within a few years of arriving on the West Coast, Gilmore had begun acquiring and rehabilitating a number of historic buildings. In many people's minds, Gilmore was the animating force behind adaptive reuse development in downtown Los Angeles—a risk-taker and committed urban guy whose efforts totally revitalized the Old Bank District and served as a model to other developers.
Tom Gilmore is scheduled to deliver a public lecture at SCI-Arc on Wednesday, February 13, starting 7pm, to discuss his vision for the City Chair.
Gilmore's transformational gift tops a wave of significant support received by SCI-Arc from trustees, donors and friends in recent years. Their commitment to architecture education will be celebrated at the school's 40th Anniversary Benefit Dinner scheduled to take place April 20, 2013 on the SCI-Arc campus. For more information, please visit 40.sciarc.edu.

It is possible that the main title of the report Sarcoidosis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem disorder that most often affects individuals between 20 and 40 years of age. Females appear to be affected more frequently than males. Sarcoidosis is characterized by the abnormal formation of inflammatory masses or nodules (granulomas) consisting of certain granular white blood cells (modified macrophages or epithelioid cells) in certain organs of the body. The granulomas that are formed are thought to alter the normal structure of and, potentially, the normal functions of, the affected organ(s), causing symptoms associated with the particular body system(s) in question. In individuals with sarcoidosis, such granuloma formation most commonly affects the lungs. However, in many cases, the upper respiratory system, lymph nodes, skin, and/or eyes may be involved. In addition, in some cases, other organs may be affected, including the liver, bone marrow, spleen, musculoskeletal system, heart, salivary glands, and/or nervous system (i.e., central or peripheral nervous system).
The range and severity of symptoms associated with sarcoidosis vary greatly, depending upon the specific organ(s) involved and the degree of such involvement. In some cases, the symptoms of sarcoidosis may begin suddenly (acute), sometimes severely, and subside in a relatively short period of time (self limited). Acute sarcoidosis is often characterized by fatigue, fever, generalized muscle aches, difficulty breathing (dyspnea), joint pain, swollen glands, skin eruptions, eye irregularities, and/or other symptoms. In the subacute form, affected individuals may experience no symptoms (asymptomatic), even with organ involvement. In the chronic form of sarcoidosis, symptoms may appear slowly and subtly, and may persist or recur over a long time span. Initial symptoms of the chronic form of the disorder may include difficulty breathing (dyspnea), dry cough, limited airflow, and other respiratory abnormalities. Symptoms associated with other organ involvement may follow.
The exact cause of sarcoidosis is not known. However, possible infectious, environmental, genetic, and immunological factors are under investigation as potential causes of the disorder.

CHICAGO – Left-hander Chris Sale carried the White Sox's postseason hopes on his shoulders when he took the mound Saturday.
By the time he exited the game, the Sox were sailing out of playoff contention. In what amounted to a must-win game, the offense no-showed and Sale couldn't pitch out of the fourth inning in a demoralizing 10-4 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays.
"We stunk," manager Robin Ventura said. " … It's pretty simple. We did [stink]. We didn't hit."
The Sox have been written off before during this stretch of nine losses in 11 games, but they're running out of days to make up ground on the Tigers. Detroit extended its AL Central lead to two games with four remaining after it held off Minnesota for a 6-4 win.
"We have to win every game and hope that Detroit loses a couple," said outfielder Alex Rios, who had the only two hits by a starter. "That's what has to happen."
Sale was as despondent as he's ever been after his outing. He took the loss hard and blamed himself for putting the Sox (83-75) in a bad situation. Sale (17-8) lasted 3 1/3 innings in his shortest outing of the year and gave up five runs on seven hits.
"That was terrible. That was a disgrace," Sale said. "For [Ventura] to say that we were terrible was probably putting that lightly. I did nothing to help the team win, put guys in positions that they shouldn't have been in. To go out and have your starter go three innings, that's a recipe for a disaster pretty much every time. Like I said before, just didn't do my job. Team needed me and I didn't pull it out for them. Just a frustrating day."
Sale refused to blame his bad start on being tired, convinced there was "no chance" his command issues stemmed from a worn out arm. He stands at 192 innings pitched this season, far and away the most he's thrown in his professional career.
"I felt just as good as any time out," Sale said. "I felt strong, just was all over the place. Just didn't throw strikes. Walked a lot of guys. Gave up hits at the wrong times and they capitalized on my mistakes. I just didn't do anything to help myself or help the team."
Sale's pitch selection suggested otherwise. He threw the fewest fastballs in any of his 29 starts this season (26 of his 82 pitches), which accounted for 31.7 percent of his pitches – below his season average of 37.5 percent.
Even more concerning, Sale did not get one Rays hitter to swing and miss when he threw a fastball. Four of Tampa Bay's seven hits against Sale came off his fastball, including Jeff Keppinger's three-run homer in the third inning that gave the Rays a 3-0 lead.
"When he doesn't locate, I think that was the biggest thing for him today," Ventura said. "He was just not in the zone enough. It was just one of those, you don't expect that out of him but it is late in the year and stuff can happen.
"I don't know about the tear, but I think being tired, there's some of that, he's in an area of being tired," Ventura added. "But again, we're not throwing him out there thinking he's hurt or anything like that. It's a lot of innings and maybe being tired."
The Rays (87-71) have a chance to deliver the decisive blow when Cy Young contender David Price starts today's home season finale. A Sox loss with a Tigers win would require the Sox to sweep the Indians in Cleveland, and Detroit would have to be swept in Kansas City to force a tie atop the division.
• Meghan Montemurro covers the White Sox and Cubs for Shaw Media. Write to her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Rays 10, White Sox 4
Tipping point: With Chris Sale on the mound, the Sox unexpectedly fell behind 5-0 through four innings and never recovered. Rays' rookie left-hander Matt Moore threw 4 1/3 perfect innings before the Sox finally managed a hit on Alex Rios' single. The loss dropped them two games back of Detroit with four games left.
On the mound: It was frustrating night for Sale, who never really put the Sox in a good position to compete. In his shortest and likely last start of the season, Sale gave up five runs on seven hits in 3 1/3 innings. Poor command of his fastball hurt Sale's effectiveness.
At the plate: Rios' two singles were the only by a Sox starter before manager Robin Ventura emptied the bench in the eighth and ninth innings. Orlando Hudson's pinch hit grand slam in the eighth off reliever Chris Archer was the first since Andruw Jones' on Sept. 12, 2010 vs. Kansas City.
Under the radar: The Sox's postseason hopes took a major hit with the loss to the Rays. They have lost nine of their last 11 games and must beat Cy Young contender David Price in today's home finale to give them a chance to overcome the two-game deficit.

Let's have a little bit of straight talk Family. Let's get real.
There are a lot of awesome brothers out here putting in the work. When I say awesome, I mean Black men that are raising their children, taking care of the family, building up the community, and doing whatever they can to set the world on blaze. These men are handling their business despite the odds against them.
But, there are some black males out here that are doing the exact opposite. They are straight knuckleheads disrupting and creating chaos wherever they go. These knuckleheads are violent. They will pick a fight with anyone especially those who are closest and looks like them, which means other black males, black women and even the children. They have no respect for others, especially black women and the elderly. They rob and steal from hardworking people. They will shoot at anything and will shoot up any place (even a playground) with no regards to who gets caught in the crossfire. They are parasitic agents of Set but they didn't just get this way overnight. These parasitic Frankensteins were created through slavery.
You see slavery was a science experiment similar to the movie Trading Places.1
The difference is that Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd) symbolizes black people before slavery and Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) symbolizes white people before slavery.
The plantations, mines, etc. were the European laboratories. Initially it was the Europeans ran their experiments on the Native Americans but when they began to realize the genocide that was taken place, the Native Americans escaped.
So, the Europeans turned their sights on African people and for more than 500 years, all they did was condition us to react, behave, think, and perform, etc. the way they wanted us to. The experiment we call slavery was basically to exchange our consciousness with their consciousness. In other words, they extracted the science of civilization from the marrow of our soul and replaced it with their ignorance of civilization, thus the parasitic Frankenstein destroying our communities with senseless violence was created. It should now make sense why American culture is really exploited black culture and why America became so rich.
I was once a parasitic monster. I did not know at the time but I was. I was not as bad as others. I've had my share of destruction even though I knew about the Kamitic tradition because I did not know that the true ills of slavery were psychological. For a period of time, I blamed a lot of the problems I had in my life on the lack of my father's participation, although he was in my life. If it wasn't my father whom I blamed my problems on, it was the white man. For the most part, because I was raised in my parents' home, I did not act out but as soon as I was off on my own. The dysfunction hit and manifested in the worst way especially when I hit rock bottom. It wasn't until I read Malcolm X's autobiography and learned that he was once a parasitic monster before he was healed, that I realized that I was ill.
Thanks to my mother who had countless books in the basement on African history, art and numerous National Geographic magazines that talked about the Ancient Egyptians, I learned that Black men were once kings, princes, healers, and warriors. Like the urban Māori family in Alan Duff's novel 1990 novel who suffered from substance abuse, poverty and domestic violence due to the family's patriarch Jake "the Muss" Heke, I realized that Black men Once Were Warriors.2
I can't exactly remember the date when I stopped blaming others for my faults and started to take responsibility for me life, but when I did. That's when everything began to change and even though I had been reading about Kamitic spirituality for years. It was at that moment that Kamitic spirituality became real for me and the Story of Osar became my bible. You see, all of the stories in every other religion I had read shifted blame and salvation outside of the person. For instance, it was the devil's fault, the white man's fault, my father's fault, this person and that person's fault, which meant my salvation was in someone else's hands. But, it was the Story of Osar that resonated with me the most because it was the only story that helped me to understand how I was conditioned, which is symbolized in the Story as Hru (Horus) having his eye gouged out by his evil uncle Set. Therefore, Hru was being manipulated by Set and did not even know it.
Hru's eye was healed by Djahuti who symbolizes a shaman-priest or someone who KNOWs. Elijah Muhammad was one of the individuals who knew how to heal a sick eye, which is the reason Malcolm and other men joined the Nation of Islam. There are other teachers who have come and gone that knew how to heal our bad eye. Although there were numerous men and women who helped me, it was my godfather (Papa) who repaired my eye, which allowed me to fight Set effectively.
Through my godfather I learned the truth about my ancestors. Through my ancestors I learned the truth about our history and about salvation through our culture. The more I studied and contemplated on the characters in the Story, the more the parasitic energy of Set began to seep out of my life. Until finally I became who I am today.
The point that I am making is that white supremacy through its' history of slavery has severely traumatized us all. It has made us parasitic destroyers of each other, our families and our communities. We have to realize that we are the only ones who can save ourselves. There are plenty of tools available that can help us in the self-healing process and a number of teachers available to point you to the right path. (Please note that I said teachers meaning they can only tell you how to do it, but you have to go home and do the spiritual work yourself).
The experiment is not over. The wager was to see how long it would take for us to self-destruct as a people once they Traded Places. Now that you know, the time has come for us to end the experiment and come out on top.
Hope that helps.
- Trading Places is a 1983 American comedy film directed by John Landis, starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy. The story is a modern day version of Mark Twain's classic 19th-century novel The Prince and the Pauper. In the story the Duke brothers (Randolph and Mortimer) who own a successful commodities brokerage make a wager of the "usual amount" and agree to conduct an experiment by switching the lives of an upper-class commodities broker (Dan Aykroyd) and a homeless street hustler (Eddie Murphy) and observing the results. The symbolism was that Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd) symbolizes black people before slavery and Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy) symbolizes white people before slavery.
- Once Were Warriors is a 1994 New Zealand drama film based on New Zealand author Alan Duff's bestselling 1990 first novel. The film tells the story of the Hekes, an urban Māori family, and their problems with poverty, alcoholism, and domestic violence, mostly brought on by the patriarch Jake. In the story Jake does not take responsibility for any of his faults, so he drowns his pain in alcohol with his friends. In the end, Beth (the wife) after years of domestic abuse finally stands up to her husband and takes their children back to her Māori village and traditions. All while defiantly telling her husband that Māori heritage gives her the strength to resist his control over her. What I got out of it was that Beth and her children returned to their cultural ways.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Review
NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Introduction:
It's been just shy of a year since NVIDIA debuted the Kepler architecture with the launch of the GTX 680, a card that ratcheted up the heat on AMD to deliver something that could outshine the beast that was Kepler. This weeks news that AMD is going to keep riding the wave of its HD 79XX series for the rest of the year puts NVIDIA in the driver's seat for now with the introduction of the GeForce GTX Titan. However, what we were treated wih the introduction of Kepler was a cut down version of the architecture in the form of GK104 instead of the full implementation GK110. Much the same story line we had with the Fermi-based GTX 480 then a year later the GTX 580 making for a comparable timeline and strategy between the two generations. Each time the cards were delivered late in the game with AMD gaining market share only to be outperformed once NVIDIA delivered its card to the market.
GTX Titan is named after the world's fastest super computer at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, aptly named Titan. The Titan Super Computer is home to 18,668 NVIDIA Tesla K20X GPU accelerators built using the GK110 Kepler core to deliver 17.59 petaflop/sec in the LINPACK benchmark. Tesla K20X's compute performance firmly entrenched allowed for the GK110 architecture to filter down to the consumer level with NVIDIA's GeForce GTX Titan. The hallmarks of this card are a new set of features including GPU Boost 2.0, Overvoltage controls, display overclocking, new vapor chamber cooling solution, small form factor PC compatibility, Tri-SLI, improved double precision compute performance, and improved fan acoustics.
Basic specifications for GTX Titan include five GPC, 14 SMX, 2688 CUDA Cores (Single Precision), 896 CUDA Cores (Double Precision), 448 texture units, 48 ROPs, 6GB of GDDR5 memory though a wider 384-bit bus, 28nm process, and finally 7.1 billion transistors with a 1536K L2 cache. Base clock speed on the CUDA cores comes in at 837MHz with a boost clock of 876MHz while the 6GB frame buffer is clocked at 6008MHz (1502MHz effective). Just the specifications alone show the performance potential that Titan should deliver on the gaming front. However, for this introduction to Titan we'll focus on the card itself and what the feature set will do for the end user with benchmarks to follow up in another article shortly. So let's dig into Titan.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan Closer Look:
First off, we can take a look at the card to see just where NVIDIA put the performance. The card I have is a pure reference card. If you have seen a GTX 690 you get an idea where the styling cues come from. As much as the GTX 690 was a thing of beauty for a video card, the GTX Titan follows in the same mold with an aluminum frame and clear polycarbonate window over the vapor chamber-based cooling solution. At 10.5 inches long, the GTX Titan is able to fit into more small form factor chassis to deliver world class gaming performance without the need to have at least a mid-tower chassis. Using a blower style fan, it's able to push all the thermal load out of the chassis rather than heat up the other internals. The back side of the PCB shows that half the 6GB frame buffer is populated here but without any additional cooling for the modules. The GeForce GTX logo on the top of the card lights up to show just what kind of graphics horsepower you are running, functions as a power indicator, can be manually adjusted with board partner tools, and can also function as a graphics load indicator. The GTX Titan is PCIe 3.0 compliant with backwards compatibility built in.
Display connectivity does not change from earlier Kepler-based video cards with a pair of Dual Link DVI ports, a single full size DisplayPort 1.2 port, and an HDMI 1.4a port. This configuration supports up to four monitors in a 3+1 surround configuration. As a card built to run cool and quiet with an expressed goal of running in small form factor PCs, the airflow pushed through the GTX Titan is pushed outside the chassis to keep from heating up the PC components in an SFF build. It's functionality that the GTX 690 cannot provide. A series of openings on the mounting plate seemingly provide for the airflow requirements without impacting noise levels so that the thermal load is pushed completely out of the chassis. The back end of the card is open to draw air in through a fin array starting the cooling process early in the cycle, most likely cooling the VRM components.
As a single GPU card, the GTX Titan supports up to a four-way SLI solution to offer the highest possible gaming performance/experience. It's being touted as the only GPU solution that can run Crysis 3 maxed out at playable frame rates. The efficient dual slot cooling allows the cards to fit into a board that supports a four-way solution. A pair of SLI bridge connections are found in the usual spot. The GTX Titan will need a power supply of at least 600 watts and 6-pin and 8-pin PCIe power connectors. NVIDIA states the GTX Titan has a max board TDP of 250 watts with a 100% power target and 265 watts with a 106% maximum power target, which makes sense based on the power inputs to the GTX Titan.
NVIDIA has made great strides in reducing the thermals and noise signature of its Kepler-based products. The GTX Titan is no exception to this trend. Titan is equipped with a new copper vapor chamber-equipped cooling solution; a proven solution in the past that uses an extended fin design to deliver the best cooling solution possible in the footprint available. An aluminum base is used to cool the 6+2 phase VRM and DRAM modules on the PCB. This base assembly functions not only as a heat sink but as added structural rigidity to keep the PCB from flexing. Blower-style cooling solutions using a squirrel cage style fan have gotten a bad rap in the past for good reasons. NVIDIA has solved these issues on both the GTX 690 and the product most like Titan, the GTX 680. That continues here with added enhancements that include acoustic dampening materials on the fan as well as improved fan control algorithms that provide the optimum voltage to control the fan speed, noise, and temperature. A temperature target of 80 °C is the intended range before the fan speed really starts ramping up the duty cycle.
NVIDIA's PCB on the GTX Titan differs from its K20 cousins and is designed for use in a high performance gaming computer. To that end NVIDIA's engineers provided a 6+2 phase power circuit with six phases feeding the GK110 core with the additional two phases feeding the 6GB of GDDR5 memory. The power design supports overvoltage controls that can be taken advantage of with its GPU Boost 2.0 feature set.
The Kepler core used in the GTX Titan is built on a 28nm process that houses 7.1 billion transistors. It is the full implementation of the Kepler architecture first seen in March of 2011 as GK104 on the GTX 680. This time we get five Graphics Processing Clusters, 14 SMX with 192 CUDA cores that make up the 2688 core count, 1.5MB of shared L2 cache, 224 Texture units, 48 ROPs, and a full 6GB of GDDR5 memory running on a new-for-NVIDIA 6x64-bit (384-bit) bus. A total boost of 75% over the GTX 680's core, texture, and ROP count with a massive jump in frame buffer size. GPU Boost 2.0 is an upgrade over the prior versions that dynamically sets the clock speeds of the GPU core to the max possible clock based not only on the power threshold but more importantly the thermal threshold of 80 °C. By tweaking the power profile you can improve performance with your card. Samsung is the memory supplier of choice for the GTX Titan with its 6GB of memory to manage. Clock speeds are dynamic on the GPU cores due to how GPU Boost 2.0 operates, but a base core clock of 837MHz on the 2688 CUDA cores is the lowest you will see on the core with 1502MHz on the GDDR5 memory. The GTX Titan is more than a one trick pony however, as it's capable of running in double precision mode with 896 CUDA cores active to deliver over one teraflop of double precision performance. The clock speed is reduced but provides a pathway to bring developers into the fold with an easy entry point into CUDA programming.
Just on paper the GTX Titan, with its massive jump in core and memory count, is that as a single GPU gaming is no where near finished. The specifications flat out rock and should provide an interesting performance head to head with the GTX 690 and a 6GB GDDR5-equipped HD 7970. Now that we have seen that the GTX Titan is a great looking card in the vein of the GTX 690, we can look at the feature set that the GTX Titan comes equipped with.

The Most Famous Hotel Room in the World?
We recently heard about what may be one of the most famous hotel rooms in the world - at least to lovers of modernism. Located in the "first designer hotel" it is...
...Room 606 at the Radisson Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. Room 606 is an example of Arne Jacobsen's original interior design for the hotel rooms from 1960. It still functions as a regular guest room, available for booking.
Info from the Radisson site: Room 606 is the only hotel room with the original Arne Jacobsen décor from July 1960 when the hotel first opened its doors. With the grey, blue-green colours, the wengé wood and a selection of the most representative furniture designed for the hotel, this room takes its visitors to another time and place. Room 606 functions as a regular guestroom and is a must for Arne Jacobsen fans and design lovers. 606 offers state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen TV and Royal Club amenities.
Hotel guests with an interest in design are welcome to visit Room 606, when it is available. Arne Jacobsen designed the famous Egg and Swan chairs for the Royal as well as the lesser known and rare Drop chair. The room features other details like built-in makeup mirrors, radio and intercom system.
Lots more info on the history of the hotel and its design can be found right here.

Nets best Raptors to win Game 7, take series
In the end, this magical Raptors season concluded in typically heart-breaking fashion.
How many times has this franchise battled back in a game that looked lost earlier, only to come up agonizingly short in the end? While this group seemed different than the others, the outcome was the same. Another dagger.
The Raptors had a chance to knock off the highest-paid team in NBA history, the Brooklyn Nets, but fell 104-103, when Kyle Lowry couldn't hit a shot and couldn't get a call as Paul Pierce blocked his attempt at the buzzer. Just like back in 2006-07, when Vince Carter, Jason Kidd and the New Jersey Nets prevailed over the No. 3 seed, Atlantic Division-champion Raptors, an upset on paper, that again didn't really feel like one.
"That young man did everything he could to get to the basket. He tried to will his way to get that extra point," said Raptors head coach Dwane Casey when it was over.
While the Raptors might have felt like the better team, Brooklyn, more often than not, was the superior team in this series. It was a just — if cruel — result for Toronto to swallow, even if it could easily have gone the other way with a bit of luck.
Lowry had scored 13 of his 28 points in the final quarter, but Joe Johnson had 13 of his 26 over the same span, completing a masterful performance. Toronto had few answers for the seven-time all-star. Not Sunday, not in the prior six games.
"We've been fighting a lot of stuff the entire year, fighting a lot of things," said Casey.
"That team right there is very talented. I don't think it was lost on anyone, you have a lot of hall of famers, championship pedigree. They will give Miami a lot of trouble. Whether they beat them or not, I don't know, but it will be a great series. We would have loved to have been there. That close and that's what I told the team. We were right there."
"We just ran out of time," said Amir Johnson, who justified Casey's faith in him with a tremendous effort, before fouling out with much of the fourth quarter remaining.
Terrence Ross, a Toronto goat all series due to his poor play, came up with a huge steal when he threw the ball off Paul Pierce, giving the Raptors the ball down one, with 6.2 seconds remaining, in a game they really had no business being in. But Lowry was unable to complete the miracle comeback.
Despite nerves (and the flu, in the case of DeMar DeRozan, who scored 18) getting to some of the young Raptors, the team scrapped and clawed and crawled all day against the experienced Nets.
Casey had challenged Johnson, but wasn't sure what he would get out of him. He ended up receiving a ton. Despite playing through pain, a Johnson trademark for the final two months of the season (he said he'll be seeing a doctor soon to figure out how to fix the achy ankle), the power forward scored 20 points and added 10 rebounds. The outcome might have been different had he been able to stay in longer.
Whenever the Raptors closed in, jitters or the importance of the moment appeared to overwhelm this unproven group. Turnovers or missed shots stemmed the momentum several times, allowing Brooklyn to right itself and calm down the 20,000-plus ACC fans, who were dying for a reason to erupt in joyous yelling all afternoon.
But, down 11 late in the third quarter, when all looked lost, DeRozan hit a three at the buzzer and suddenly, you could see a faint light.
Later, with one final push, this group showed why it has gained so many fans from across Canada, pulling to within two points after a pair of Lowry free throws with 25 seconds remaining. Deron Williams split two freebies, Lowry hit a driving layup and Shaun Livingston hit a pair. Then, after sinking a tough layup, Ross forced the massive turnover.
That's when Pierce stepped up, as he has so many times in the past. Only on this occasion, he did it with his defence.
"Paul steps up and makes a big block," said Kidd. "Paul said it best: That's why he's here, to make plays. He didn't have a great game, but it only takes one play to help a team win and that's what he did tonight."
After Lowry had missed and the Raptors had dropped another memorable seventh game by a point (the first time that's happened in the NBA since Vince Carter's famous miss against Philadelphia 13 years ago), all that was left to do was have DeRozan hit the deck in an attempt to console a devastated Lowry, who was lying on the floor, hands on his head.
"Don't be down on yourself, that's what I was telling him," DeRozan said. "Without him, we wouldn't even be in this situation."
"We're only going to get better," said Lowry, an unrestricted free agent as of July 1. "This is only the start for us and for the Raptors organization. Unfortunately, we came up short, but we put ourselves in a position to win."
In the end, the team that was supposed to be there — Brooklyn — will start a best-of-seven series against the Miami Heat in South Florida on Tuesday. The Nets won the regular season series against the Heat 4-0 and Casey said they would give the two-time champions everything they could handle. Meanwhile, the team nobody thought would do a thing — the plucky Raptors — are done for the year, with all kinds of questions about what is coming next. Will Lowry be back? Will Casey? Will Patrick Patterson, Greivis Vasquez and several others?
It will be a long summer. For Masai Ujiri. For Casey, certainly for Lowry, DeRozan and the players.
So agonizingly close.
Once again.

September 17, 2013
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Bobby Labonte is set to return to NASCAR this weekend at New Hampshire after breaking three ribs while bike riding last month.
Labonte was hurt while cycling near his North Carolina home. The 49-year-old driver is still sore but comfortable enough to race.
He'll be in the No. 47 Camry for JTG Daugherty Racing. The 2000 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion's best finish of the season is 15th in the season opener at Daytona.

MANASSAS, Va. (AP) — A Connecticut man has pleaded guilty to two more rapes that authorities attribute to a serial rapist who attacked at least 17 women along the East Coast for more than a decade.
Aaron Thomas, of New Haven, pleaded guilty Friday in Manassas, Va., to abducting three teenage trick-or-treaters and raping two of them on Halloween 2009.
Those attacks were the last in a string of assaults that police attributed to one rapist. A multi-state manhunt ended last year with Thomas' arrest.
On Thursday, Thomas for the first time entered a guilty plea to the attacks when he admitted raping a Leesburg woman in 2001.
All 17 cases are linked by DNA evidence. Other assaults occurred in Maryland, Rhode Island and Connecticut.
Thomas faces up to life in prison.

Level Legs the Easy Way
In the February 2013 issue of Popular Woodworking Magazine contributor Gary Rogowski of The Northwest Woodworking Studio delves into the old problem we've all experienced – legs on chairs, stools and tables that don't sit flat on the floor and rock to one one side then another. Gary also presents a really quick and easy way to solve the problem using a rather unconventional method on the table saw. It's a really cool trick that I'd never seen before in my 30 years in the shop.
Take a look at the Gary's video. I guarantee you'll adopt this simple, foolproof fix for four-legged furniture that wobbles.
For more on using the table saw, check out "The Ultimate Table Saw Guide" at ShopWoodworking.com. This DVD includes three complete books on a single disc!

Some neighborhood schools would be consolidated and some charter or magnet schools given more space in a cost-saving measure being considered by Chicago Public Schools, interim CEO Terry Mazany announced today.
"It's no secret that Chicago has a number of significantly under enrolled schools," Mazany said. "When every dollar matters, we can't afford to have inefficient operations."
Some 4,800 students would be impacted by the moves, with around 700 of those changing school buildings in the fall, Mazany said.
He said up to 100 of the 200 teaching positions at merging schools would be eliminated, with those teachers being considered for reassignment. Eight principals' positions would be lost; Mazany said one of those eight already is planning to retire, and three do not have current contracts.
Despite onetime costs associated with the consolidations, Mazany said the district will see savings in the long run. He did not provide specific budget figures, however. The CPS budget deficit is now an estimated $720 million, he said, with much of that attributed to the loss of one-time revenue, such as federal stimulus money. About $236 million can be attributed to the backlog in state payments, he said.
Among the proposals:
--Neighborhood schools Philo Carpenter Elementary and Mancel Talcott Elementary would be consolidated at Talcott's campus at 1840 W Ohio St. Ogden International High School, a magnet school now sharing space with Carpenter at 1250 W. Erie St., would have that entire building.
--Hans Christian Andersen Community Academy Elementary School, a neighborhood school, will be merged into LaSalle II Magnet Elementary School at 1148 N Honore St.
--Neighborhood schools George Schneider Elementary and Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Elementary will merge under Jahn's name at 3149 N. Wolcott Ave. Alcott High School for the Humanities, a small school already operating in the Schneider building at 2957 N. Hoyne Ave., will have that entire building.
--Avondale Elementary, 2945 N. Sawyer Ave., and Logandale Middle School at 3212 W. George St., will form one pre-kindergarten to eighth grade school, but both locations will stay open and attendance evened out.
--Three small high schools -- Best Practice High School, Chicago Discovery Academy High School and Bowen Global Visions Academy High School – will be merged with a fourth, New Millennium High School, at 2710 E. 89th Street.
--Neighborhood schools Jacob Beidler Elementary and Willa Cather Elementary will consolidate at Cather's campus at 2908 W. Washington Blvd. Urban Prep high school, a charter school now operating at Cather, will move to the Beidler building at 3151 W. Walnut St.
--George W. Tilton Elementary's pre-kindergarten and kindergarten would be phased out in the fall, with incoming kindergarten students assigned to to Guglielmo Marconi Elementary Community Academy at 230 N. Kolmar Ave. Tilton would eventually being phased out entirely. Chicago Talent Development High School, a charter school, will move into freed-up space in Tilton, 223 N. Keeler Ave.
The Board of Education will host a public hearing and community meetings in the coming months, Mazany said. The board hopes to vote on the measure at next month's meeting. If approved, the changes would go into affect next fall.
He acknowledged that the timeframe, "is not as long of a window as would have been desired."

Emacs Terminology
When you use [C-x C-f] to invoke command find-file, Emacs opens the file you request, and puts its contents into a buffer with the same name as the file. Instead of thinking that you are editing a file, think that you are editing text in a buffer. When you save the buffer, the file is updated to reflect your edits.
Buffers can also contain text that doesn't come from a file. When you use [C-x C-b] to get a list of buffers, that list is itself in a buffer, called *Buffer List*, and that buffer is not associated with any file.
By convention, buffers whose names start with an asterisk (`*') are not associated with files (but that doesn't mean you can't save them in files). If they have unsaved changes when you exit Emacs, these buffers are killed without your being asking for confirmation.
Buffers whose names start with a space are invisible to many operations. These are generally internal buffers that you don't want to see. Their names normally don't appear in the buffer list or as completion candidates when you switch buffers using [C-x b].
Buffers are shown in windows. You can have more than one window showing the same buffer. [C-x 2] splits the current window, creating two windows, both showing the same buffer.
You can read more about windows in the Emacs manual:
In Emacs terminology, a "window" is a container in which a buffer is displayed. This may be confusing at first; if so, think "pane" whenever you see "window" in an Emacs context until you get used to it.
When starting an Emacs frame, there is ordinarily only one window in it, which can be split into multiple windows using [C-x 2] or [C-x 3]. This allows viewing different buffers (or the same buffer multiple times) at once.
You can read more about windows in the Emacs manual:
In Emacs terminology, a "frame" is what most window managers (Windows, OSX, GNOME, KDE, etc.) would call a "window".
It will typically have a title bar and some buttons to iconify (minimize), maximize / restore, and close the frame. To
see an example, open up a second frame from your running Emacs instance with [C-x 5 2]
make-frame-command). You can close frames with [C-x 5 0] (
delete-frame), though this
will not close the last frame that is open.
To be completely correct, frames can be created when Emacs is running in terminal mode too, not just in a windowing system. They don't provide the same visual cues but otherwise work the same.
You can read more about frames in the Emacs manual:
The active cursor shows the location at which editing commands will take effect, which is called "point". Many Emacs commands move point to different places in the buffer; for example, you can place point by clicking mouse button 1 (normally the left button) at the desired location.
If you use a block cursor, the cursor appears to be on a character, but you should think of point as between two characters; it points before the character that appears under the cursor. For example, if your text looks like `frob' with the cursor over the `b', then point is between the `o' and the `b'. If you insert the character `!' at that position, the result is `fro!b', with point between the `!' and the `b'. Thus, the cursor remains over the `b', as before.
Sometimes people speak of "the cursor" when they mean "point," or speak of commands that move point as "cursor motion" commands.
You can read more about the point in the Emacs manual:
- Point (`(info "(emacs) Point")')
The Mark and the Region
Many Emacs commands operate on an arbitrary contiguous part of the current buffer. To specify the text for such a command to operate on, you set "the mark" at one end of it, and move point to the other end. The text between point and the mark is called "the region". The region always extends between point and the mark, no matter which one comes earlier in the text; each time you move point, the region changes.
You can read more about the mark and the region in the Emacs manual:
- Mark (`(info "(emacs) Mark")')
In Emacs, "killing" means erasing text and copying it into the "kill ring". "Yanking" means bringing text from the kill ring back into the buffer. (Some applications use the terms "cutting" and "pasting" for similar operations.) The kill ring is so-named because it can be visualized as a set of blocks of text arranged in a ring, which you can access in cyclic order.
You can read more about killing in the Emacs manual:
- Killing (`(info "(emacs) Killing")')
"Yanking" means reinserting text previously killed. The usual way to move or copy text is to kill it and then yank it elsewhere one or more times.
You can read more about Yanking in the Emacs manual:
- Yanking (`(info "(emacs) Yanking")')
Emacs can display text in several different styles, which are called faces. Each face can specify various face attributes, such as the font, height, weight and slant, the foreground and background color, and underlining or overlining. A face does not have to specify all of these attributes; often it inherits most of them from another face.
On a text-only terminal, not all face attributes are meaningful. Some text-only terminals support inverse video, bold, and underline attributes; some support colors. Text-only terminals generally do not support changing the height, width or font.
Most major modes assign faces to the text automatically through the work of Font Lock mode. See Font Lock, for more information about Font Lock mode and syntactic highlighting. You can print the current buffer with the highlighting that appears on your screen using the command M-x ps-print-buffer-with-faces.
You can read more about faces in the Emacs manual:
- Faces (`(info "(emacs) Faces")')
Major mode
Emacs can adapt is behaviour to the specific type of text edited in a buffer. The set of specific Emacs customizations for a particular type of text is called a "major mode". Each buffer has one (no more, no less) major mode depending on its content type.
Major modes can change the meaning of some keys, define syntax highlighing or indentation rules, and install new key bindings (usually beginning with [C-c]) for mode-specific commands. Emacs ships with a wide range of major modes, falling into three main categories:
- support for text (e.g. markup languages),
- support for programming languages,
- applications within emacs (e.g. dired, gnus, ...). Buffers using this last group of major modes are usually not associated to files, but rather serve as a user interface.
You can read more about major modes in the Emacs manual:
- Major Modes (`(info "(emacs) Major Modes")')
Emacs terminology for line wrap.
Emacs terminology for case insensitivity.
Narrow and widen
Sometimes you want to work on just a portion of the current buffer and ignore the rest. Emacs provides commands to narrow the display so that it only shows the text you are interested in. Text outside of the current restriction is hidden from view and inaccessible to editing commands.
Use [C-x n n] (narrow-to-region) to narrow the display to the current region. Use [C-x n w] (widen) to widen the display, making the entire buffer accessible again.
Note that narrowing can be confusing to new users, so the command narrow-to-region is disabled by default. If you have not explicitly enabled this command before trying to use it, you will be prompted to do so.
Narrowing can be considered an alternative to collapsing blocks of text (folding). Narrowing allows you to identify a block of text to edit, whereas folding allows you to identify a block of text to hide. Emacs has various ways to collapse text, such as Hideshow mode and Selective Display. The key difference between folding and narrowing is that folded text remains editable -- you can still delete a block of text that has been collapsed from view. With a narrowing restriction, only the active portion of text can be modified.
You can read more about narrowing and other ways to hide text in the Emacs manual:
- Narrowing (`(info "(emacs) Narrowing")')
- Selective Display (`(info "(emacs) Selective Display")')
- Hideshow (`(info "(emacs) Hideshow")')

Marriage is perhaps the most sacred ministry many of us are called to and one thing is certain: it's not easy! Marriage is filled with up's and down's and all the in-betweens. But what if God designed marriage to be about more than simply two people sharing life together? This small group is for couples in their 20's or 30's who want to explore together what God's design for marriage is with other couples. The group is lead by Pastor Matt Wilcox and meets every other Monday.

Maximum allowable budget increase alarms Manchester taxpayersBy TED SIEFER
New Hampshire Union Leader
April 08. 2014 10:00PM
MANCHESTER — Ever-escalating city health care and pension costs; delivering city services more efficiently; a school redistricting plan — these were some of the concerns weighing on residents at a public budget hearing Tuesday.
The hearing, required under the city charter, was held to give the public a chance to respond to the budget proposed by Mayor Ted Gatsas a week ago. The budget would allocate $159.5 million to the school district and $137.4 million to the city. The overall city budget would be 2.13 percent larger than last year, the maximum increase allowable under the tax cap.
The hearing was held before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, and it was presided over by At-Large Alderman Dan O'Neil in place of Gatsas, who was in the hospital for bypass surgery. Ahead of the customary moment of silence, O'Neil asked that Gatsas be kept in the "thoughts and prayers" of the public.
Tammy Simmons, a former Republican state representative, said aldermen needed to make hard decisions rather than continuing to ask taxpayers to pay more for less.
"More efficient trash pick up, charging more for pools — sometimes efficiencies might mean people lose their jobs or someone will pay more for health insurance. It's not the job of the city to provide employment for people," she said.
Two residents took the opportunity to speak out against a preliminary school redistricting plan proposed by Superintendent Debra Livingston.
The plan would entail converting Jewett Street School from an elementary school to the city's central preschool facility, while converting the adjacent Southside Middle School into a K-8 school.
Jimmy Lahoux criticized the board's decision to give Livingston the authority to move forward with her redistricting plan without additional board approval.
"The mayor's ability to lead through rough terrain should be admired, but not allowing this to be brought back to the board is reprehensible," he said. "Not one person on the school board or the administration has experience implementing a K-8 program. They're essentially experimenting with our kids with the latest fad."
Another resident, Carol Backus, said aldermen should seriously consider the impact the tax cap was having on diminished city services and quality of life. "My plea to you is to look carefully... to make a determination whether this is working or not. We need to have this discussion in the city," she said.
Aldermen will be spending the next several weeks reviewing the mayor's budget, as well as several proposed plans for new revenue, such as a fee for trash bags. Aldermen will also be mulling whether to override the tax cap, which would require a 10-vote majority.
The budget must be finalized by early June.
