"Bread consists in flour, salt, water and yeast. Anything else is cake." (Lugo Teehalt; Clearwater Lake Ecological Congress; 1972; Keynote address.)
Ingredients:White flour (Cheap flour will do.)Warm waterSaltYeast
Method:Add the yeast to the water with a little of the flour. (For dry mix yeast, which is best avoided, follow the genetic engineer's instructions.) When the yeast has "dissolved" add the rest of the ingredients and mix. (Added much later, 13th. Sept 2007: An improvement in the lightness of the bread, and it does not increase the time to make the bread by much, is had by allowing the mixture to rise quite a lot before kneading it. This also makes it easier to knead.) Knead the mixture 64 times, say, preferably longer. (To knead: smear the dough away from you; rotate dough through 90 degrees; fold the edge nearest you to the edge furthest from you. Kneading may be less effort if the bread is allowed to rise slightly.) Allow to rise, it rises faster the warmer it is - remembering yeast is a living organism, until it doubles in size, preferably (very) more than doubles. Knead lightly 35 times, say. Shape and place on lightly floured, dry baking tray. Sticks and buns are nicer, easier and quicker to cook than are loaves. Place in a cold oven. Cook for 30 minutes in a very cool oven (gas mark 1). Then turn up oven to hot (gas mark 7) and cook for about 15 minutes for sticks and buns or a little longer, until it sounds hollow when tapped on the base, for a loaf.
Advice:The important points to get a good, well risen texture are:
Do not use too much water, a stiff dough is much easier to cook.
Do not "over prove". That is, after the second knead do not allow the bread to rise much before you cook it. In the method no rise at all is specified and this gives good results. Not over proving is much the most important consideration. The idea is to get the bread to rise as much as possible when it is inside the oven.
One way to adjust the crustiness is how long it is cooked. (Another is brushing with brine.) Longer cooking gives a robust crust and more flavor.
The yeast organism is inhibited by salt.
The less yeast you put in the better the flavour, (this is by far the most important consideration for flavour - the yeast lightens the dough by filling it with bubble of gas, but it also ferments the flour and it is universally held that this provides the nice taste) but it takes longer to prove.
Yeast may be economized upon by saving some of the dough, mixing it with water and some fresh flour, covering and allowing this brew to ferment until the next time you make bread. In this way yeast needs to be purchased only once. Sporus does not know if this is safe - other organisms cohabit with the yeast - but it makes excellent bread.
Letting the bread prove in a refrigerator overnight often gives particularly good results.
Bread-ologists would be appalled but a lovely sweet taste is produced by putting no salt in the bread, but it has to be no salt at all not even a pinch.
Always experiment, only then can the bread get better. The inevitable cock ups are rare.
My parents could never agree on the best place to keep bread, the fridge or the bread bin. I discovered the answer to this several months ago. Bread should always be stored at room temparature, preferably in an air tight box or bread bin to slow down the staling (is that a real word?) process.
Bread kept in the fridge will go dry extremely quickly. The reason for this is that the amount of water that can be absorbed by the starch in the bread declines sharply as the temperature drops towards zero. This can clearly be seen on frozen bread; there will be a thick layer of ice on the bread from the water that has been given up by the starch.
If bread is to be frozen then it is best to do it in as cold a freezer as you can manage, and then defrost it as quickly as you dare. This will make the water freeze before the bread can release it and thaw when the starch is capable of holding it, meaning that once the bread is back up to room temperature it will still be nice and soft.
In many operation system kernels, bread() is a function that reads a specified block from a block device into a buffer. This function appeared in UNIX, and the name is still used in Linux and maybe other operating system kernels.
One of the most popular British TV series of the 1980s, Bread was a situation comedy written by Carla Lane, who had already achieved success with The Liver Birds and Butterflies. It premiered on BBC1 on May 1, 1986, and ran for 6 years, with 74 episodes in seven series (including 3 longer special episodes).
The show revolved around the lives of a large family, the Boswells, Catholics who lived in a terraced house in Liverpool, the city which was also the setting for Lane's earlier The Liver Birds, and the then-popular soap opera Brookside. Much of the action was centred around their kitchen table at the beginning and end of the day. In between, the characters faced a variety of struggles as they fought to bring home the bread (a common slang term for money), which they then placed (as banknotes, not sliced white) in a china chicken in the middle of the table.
The show's cast was largely made up of unknowns, many from Liverpool. Most of the Boswells were portrayed as scamsters, dole scroungers and idiots, but at the center was the tough matriarch Nellie Boswell, played by Jean Boht. Catchphrase: "That tart!"
Nellie's many children were:
There was also Nellie's husband Freddie (Ronald Forfar), not the most trustworthy of figures, and his mistress, the wonderfully named Lilo Lil (named for a type of cheap bed). The family was completed by Grandad (Kenneth Waller), with his catchphrase: "Where's me tea?"
Paul and Linda McCartney, friends of Lane's, made a brief guest visit in 1988. A stage version was shown in London in 1991. The show finished November 3, 1991.
Like most sitcoms it perhaps has a kernel of truth in the poverty and unemployment of Liverpool at the time, a once-great port city facing slow industrial decline, and a place renowned for the dry humour of its inhabitants (not that the show's humour was exactly dry). However, it equally existed in a bizarre sitcom parallel universe somewhere between the scheming Thatcherism of Only Fools and Horses and the incredibly dated idyll of Coronation Street. Which is probably not a bad place for a successful show.
While many of Lane's later shows were as much about pathos as comedy, Bread was lighthearted and unashamedly silly (in other words, its humour depended on catchphrases and repetition rather than observation or strong characters). It also proved vastly popular, winning audiences of over 20 million viewers. For all that, it was never a critical success, and initially provoked anger for its stereotyped characters. As a classic example of feel-good comedy, centred on family unity, it is not surprising that the show was as popular with viewers as it was derided by more sophisticated commentators.
Despite the show's huge success, much of its cast seemed keen to depart at the first opportunity. This saw more than one character played by multiple actors, with the inevitable effects on realism, continuity, characterisation and quality, and by series 5 (1989) it was in clear decline. Since it finished, Lane has had no real hits, with shows such as Luv being cancelled rapidly due to their dark tone and lack of jokes: these serious ventures failed to find favour with critics that hated Bread, although she was capable of skilful writing when she tried. Increasingly, she has devoted herself to animal rights campaigning.
The fortunes of the cast members have been varied. Jean Boht has proved herself a fine actor in other works, such as a starring role in Terence Davies's acclaimed tale of postwar Liverpool misery Distant Voices, Still Lives, and as Agatha Christie's Miss Marple in 4.50 From Paddington. She did return to her bad sitcom roots with a role in "Brighton Belles" (a mid-1990s English remake of the Golden Girls which vanished without a trace.)
Peter Howitt is the most successful cast member, although you won't see him on your screens too often. He directed the feature films Sliding Doors (1998), AntiTrust (2001) and Johnny English (2003); he also had blink-or-miss it cameos in the first two films. Proving himself something of a renaissance man, he wrote Sliding Doors, is working as writer/director/producer/composer on upcoming feature The Other Half, and made a brief appearance in Highlander: The Series in 1992.
Melanie Hill (not to be confused with the British Big Brother contestant of the same name), has done much television and film work: Brassed Off, When Saturday Comes, From Hell and The Hawk in cinemas, and Crocodile Shoes, NCS: Manhunt, Silent Witness, Playing The Field and Cardiac Arrest on television. She is currently married to actor Sean Bean.
Victor McGuire has made a career in bad comedy, with roles in Sean's Show (Sean Hughes's postmodern i.e. crap sitcom), Goodnight Sweetheart (Gran and Marks' spooky time travelling adultery sitcom), and kid-with-bowel-problems motion picture Thunderpants. He is also looking forward to a role as "Cop 1" in Hellraiser: Hellworld, according to IMDb. Jonathon Morris was in Subspecies 4: Bloodstorm in 1998. Nick Conway briefly appeared in Coronation Street and managed a couple of other sitcoms, as well as appearances in Sharpe (1997) and northern soccer drama When Saturday Comes (1996).
The theme song (performed by the cast with scant regard for melody) went something like this:
Gotta get up, gotta get out, Grab the world by the throat and shout (oo-ee-oo), Buy it! Sell it! The game's getting hard, But someone's dealing you a losing card.

Make some bread tomorrow. You don't need to knead anything. The ancient Egyptians used bread as a form of currency and they had a workforce of thousands that were paid exclusively in bread—do you think they screwed around with kneading?
Hell naw. They threw a bunch of flour and water in a trough and hacked at it with their hoes till it formed a gooey slop. After a few hours, the slop would start bubbling from all the yeast that was growing in the trough and then they'd scrape it onto a slab of pottery to bake.
Plan to do this 15 hours in advance.
You will need:
Add all of the bolded ingredients to your bowl, adding the water last. Hack at it with a spoon or spatula until well-mixed. The dough will be extremely sticky. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise for about 14 hours (it is worth the wait).
Now your dough should look like a giant sponge. Hack at it with a spoon or spatula until you deflate it a bit. Now put your pot in the oven at 450º F (230º C) for 30 mins. to heat up. Take the pot out of the oven, pour your dough into the pot, put the lid on, and place the pot back inside the oven to bake at the same temperature for 30-40 minutes. Because the steam from the dough-slop can't escape from the pot, you will get a crackly crust like you wouldn't believe. Professional bakers have expensive steam-injected ovens that create the same environment.
The bread shouldn't stick if the pot is hot enough to start with. If you are still worried, throw some cornmeal in the bottom for insurance. Some of the cornmeal will burn into carbon, but that is more or less what happens to the bottom of your crust anyway.
This recipe has been going around the internet as if the idea of two parts flour to one part water is some kind of revolution. This recipe is not a revolution, but if you want, you can think about it as money in the bank.
If you have a pot 10" or larger you will get flatter looking loaves if you use the same amount of ingredients. Try incrementing the recipe keeping the same proportions until you find what works. You might need to bake for a bit longer if you do this. This is a very flexible recipe and I don't even use measuring cups normally. I just try to hit 2 flour/1 water. If you use a different system of units, try experimenting! If you are curious about the conversion though, here are the metric conversions I found for 3 cups: .71 liters and .3 kg. If you weigh by pounds, use .66 lbs of flour.
Message me if you have more questions.

text: What the New Counter-Strike Is and Isn't, According to ValveStephen Totilo9/12/11 1:00pmFiled to: Counter-strikeCounter-strike goValve SoftwareValve pc mac steamXbox360XblaPs3 psnTopFb2111EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The next Counter-Strike, the one coming out early next year called Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, won't be called Counter-Strike 2, because that game would be "something different", two of Valve's top people on the new game recently told Kotaku. Advertisement "A lot of Counter-Strike: GO is taking Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike 1.6 and melding it into a product that every side likes and also expanding the base by putting it out on the consoles," Valve's Chet Faliszek said, referring to the two most popular incarnations of the game. "Whereas Counter-Strike 2, at least internally, we think about as something different." During a recent interview at Valve headquarters in Bellevue, Faliszek and CS: GO project lead Ido Magal let me play Counter-Strike: GO (for an hour) and then helped me narrow in on what the new game is and isn't. It's clear that the new game, which will be released as a downloadable title for PC, Mac, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 early next year, isn't a full-fledged sequel. Advertisement "Counter-Strike: GO has this kind of objective of homing in," Magal said. "We're taking that competitive experience that's very hard to organize in Counter-Strike: Source... We've taken that and let everyone experience the fun of a five-on-five [game] where everyone is equally matched. The product doesn't span all of Counter-Strike. Counter-Strike is zombie mods and all these different things. This is more narrow."The new GO will feature several classic maps, new weapons and tweaks that range from modified maps to a new casual mode that removes the in-game money restrictions on which weapons and items players can buy. It also will be supported by Valve's in-house match-making, an option that allows Valve to promise a controlled, predictable multiplayer experience for all gamers. Advertisement Sponsored GO is being developed in concert with Hidden Path Entertainment, which is located just a couple of blocks from Valve HQ. That team was initially been assigned to work on a straight Xbox Live Arcade port of 2004's Counter-Strike: Source."We wanted to see what that would look like," Magal said. It looked good. "We realized there was something more there that we could do, something that the community would be interested in," Faliszek said."And we got excited," Magal added.Valve had expected the 2004 Source version of the game to replace the previous year's 1.6 iteration, itself a successor to a game that had been evolving since the late 90's. But many of 1.6's most ardent fans, including those who played it competitively, as a sport, resisted the Source version. Source "didn't do what we thought it would do, but we weren't disappointed about what it did," Magal said. "We thought Counter-Strike: Source would replaced Counter-Strike 1.6 but instead it generated a community just as large as the 1.6 community on its own." Advertisement Faliszek called it "an amoeba-like split."GO is supposed to bring those crowds together and rope in console players who have only had an original Xbox version to choose from. Valve also assumes it has lost some computer Counter-Strike gamers who have moved away from PC gaming and wants to reach them on the consoles those gamers may have moved to (fittingly, the PS3 version of the game will even include mouse and keyboard support; and all players on PS3/PC/Mac will be match-made against each other.) Advertisement The Valve guys describe two of the goals for GO as lowering the skill floor—making it easier for newbies to have fun with game, hence the casual mode—and raising the skill ceiling—making meaningful, subtle changes to maps and mechanics that only pro-level players will notice and appreciate.Valve is not trying to necessarily turn GO into an e-Sport. "That requirement doesn't exist," Magal said. "If it happens, that's nice." They do want to make sure those highest-level players can enjoy GO, though, so Valve is launching a PC beta for the game in October and having what Magal calls an ongoing "dialogue" with hardcore CS players "to fix the things that everyone agrees is an issue." For example: "The way the smoke grenades used to work in Counter-Strike: Source. We changed the rate at which it blooms and dissipates and everyone preferred it." And another example, also from Magal: "The maps Dust and Aztec aren't played competitively at all because they were so imbalanced in Source. We feel very bullish on changing them, so we did. Dust 2 is a wonderfully balanced map that we didn't need to change. We just gave it a visual upgrade." Advertisement And then there are the Halo and Call of Duty gamers out there, the FPS hordes who may wonder why a new Counter-Strike is at all relevant to them. What's the appeal of CS:GO for that crowd who already have plenty of first-person shooting to do in their favorite series? CS may have sold 25 million copies already (according to Faliszek), but Valve might still have trouble pulling those folks from their beloved franchises. What's a CS have to offer those people?Magal describes the essence and value of CS in one word: skill. "I think where Counter-Strike differentiates itself is what impact skill has on your success."It's the way skill factors into a CS match that makes it feel different from other shooters, Faliszek added. "It's clean. You died because you made the wrong choice." He explained that beginner CS players tend to use lots of grenades, but that veterans don't since it is "super-easy" to kill a player who is holding one. "There's not a lot of spam in there," he said. "There are a lot of clean kills. Most kills are gun kills. And it's about, 'Oh I didn't check that corner before I entered this room. I made the bad choice of trying to defuse the bomb before clearing the area. We rushed around this corner and we got ambushed.' It's always about making those kinds of decisions and not about, 'Oh man, why did I die? What the hell? That's bullshit kind of thing." Advertisement "A small difference in skill between two players, the impact of that on the game will be accentuated," Magal said. "My experience in other games is that's not the case."That's what Counter-Strike is: a game of skill. And this is what CS:GO is: an effort to put anyone who has or should play Counter-Strike into the same game. That's a big enough goal but not a grand enough one to merit the name Counter-Strike 2. Advertisement As we discussed possible names for this new Counter-Strike, I had to ask if they'd considered one other name, one that would be an inside joke for fans of Valve's Half-Life series whose third episodic sequel has been missing in action for years. Did anyone suggest, during those brainstorm sessions, Counter-Strike: Episode Three?"No," was Faliszek's quick reply. Then a quick inhale of breath. This new GO may not be a full-fledged Counter-Strike sequel, but it's no joke.You can contact Stephen Totilo, the author of this post, at email@example.com.

Review: 'Hitchcock'
Updated 7:51 am, Thursday, December 6, 2012
"Hitchcock" tells the story of the making of "Psycho" — or, as Alfred Hitchcock pronounced it, "Psyyyy-cow" — a film that was trauma and a sensation in its own time and still has the capacity to shock.
Released in 1960, that movie retains an aura of the forbidden, of something sordid and unwholesome, bordering on a snuff film. So imagine how studio heads reacted when Hitchcock, hot off the success of "North by Northwest," insisted on making an ugly, grainy, black-and-white movie about a serial killer.
"Hitchcock" stars Anthony Hopkins as the Hitchcock of legend, seemingly implacable, and always dressed in his regulation dark suit and skinny tie. (Actually, JFK dressed in a similar way, but somehow the vibe was different.) The film begins with him deciding on "Psycho" for his next film and takes him through the process of raising money, casting, filming, editing and premiering the new picture. Along the way, "Hitchcock" emerges as an entertaining, economical and thoroughly enjoyable glimpse into a familiar artist's creative process.
This time Hitchcock's wife, Alma Reville, gets her due as a collaborator working in every phase of production. She is far from just a sounding board, but a screenwriter and story editor with the authority to take over on the set when Hitchcok is ill and the ability to help save the picture during the editing.
Hopkins is a fundamentally benign Hitchcock, hiding his vulnerability, neuroses and unrealized longings behind a mountain of impassivity and corpulence. He is a nice man, while the real Hitchcock seems to have been a more complicated figure.
Likewise, no matter how much Helen Mirren tries to suppress her feistiness and allure as Alma, she can hardly disappear. And so when Hitchcock begins to worry that his wife has become interested in another man, it means something different that Mirren is the source of the worry — Mirren is still a woman who can wreck a man's life. The real Reville wasn't that kind of siren.
In this way, "Hitchcock" is made to please a modern audience, providing us with a Hitchcock we can like and an Alma we must respect. Scarlett Johansson, at her most charming, plays Janet Leigh with a sweet deference, as though it were she, herself, getting a miraculous, time-travel chance to work with the master of suspense. Finally, there's James D'Arcy playing Anthony Perkins and doing the best Perkins imitation the world has ever seen, all angles and elbows and with an apology in every glance.
If "Hitchcock" has a fault, it's that there is too little to challenge us, too little that's unexpected and nothing to rub us the wrong way. It's not at all like a Hitchcock movie. In a series of fantasy sequences, Hitchcock is tormented by thoughts of Ed Gein, the murderer who inspired Robert Bloch's original novel, but these hardly take us into Hitchcock's unsavory depths.
Speaking of unsavory, the film doesn't bother to mention that Hitchcock got the rights to "Psycho" through a blind bid, so as to lowball Bloch with a minuscule offer. The movie ended up grossing $15 million, while Bloch walked away with less than seven thousand.
There's not enough in the writing of Hitchcock to allow for a great performance from Hopkins, but he's certainly game, even if he does occasionally sound as much like Michael Caine as he does Hitchcock. Ultimately, what saves him and everyone connected with the picture is that "Psycho" is just so interesting and "Hitchcock" commits itself to dramatizing its creation.
It's fascinating to see a classic that the world knows well being built from the ground up, to see it fail and then burst to life in the editing process, and to see Hitchcock standing in the lobby listening as the audience reacts to the shower scene.
"Hitchcock" isn't ambitious or complicated. It's simple, does what it sets out to do, and gets out before anyone even thinks about checking the time. More movies should be made in its image.
Running time: 98 minutes

BATAVIA, N.Y. (AP) -- Authorities say a 42-year-old faces various charges after he led state troopers on a chase on the Thruway that lasted for more than 40 miles across two counties before police stopped his vehicle.
State police say the chase began around 10:45 p.m. Monday in Interstate 90's westbound lanes when a trooper tried to pull over a motorist driving 102 miles per hour near the Pembroke exit in Genesee County.
The man continued driving before making a U-turn at the Williamsville toll barrier just east of Buffalo. The driver headed east on I-90 and drove another 30 miles before leaving the highway at the Batavia exit.
Officials say police used spike strips to deflate his tired, but he rammed a trooper car before other police cars boxed him in.
The man's name hasn't been released.

Is size 32 your normal size for jeans/pants? Is the quality good for the price? Is the material thick?
I can't make out the navy one too well. The beige one looks like glossy/shiny?. But they look nice. I'd like to get them but I can't decide whether to go one size up or TTS.
I'd say I'm normally a 32" waist...maybe 33"
They do have a slight gloss
the material is a bit thicker which is why I like them...think dickies
Get a couple sizes if unsure
I think I got 32" and 33" when I got my jeans from urban outfitters...they have free returns so there's no loss

Lars Eller is spending the night at a Montreal hospital under observation after suffering a concussion and facial and dental fractures in the Canadiens' opening playoff game against the Ottawa Senators.
Senators defenceman Erik Gryba checked Eller as he attempted to control a pass between his skates from defenceman Raphael Diaz. Eller, who lost consciousness, fell to the ice and was carried off on a gurney. The Canadiens advised the media during the game that the 23-year-old centreman was conscious and alert.
Senators coach Paul MacLean pointed the finger at Diaz after the game, noting he passed the puck in the middle of the rink to Eller when he wasn't looking.
"And that's always been a dangerous place as far as I know," MacLean said.
"I think it's a hockey play that ended up going bad for Lars Eller," MacLean said when asked about the hit.
"Our player hit him but 61's the guy to blame," he said, referring to Diaz.
Therrien said he couldn't comment on the play after the Senators 4-2 victory over the Habs.
"We all saw the hit and the league I'm sure they're going to review it. And I'm not allowed to make any comment," Therrien said.
"I'm not going to blame (Diaz)," the Canadiens' coach added.
Diaz told reporters after the game that he didn't see Gryba: "If I see the guy coming I would never do the pass, of course."
Therrien said he couldn't ask for a better game from his team. "We've got 50 shots on net. It doesn't happen a lot to get 50 shots on net in the playoffs and end up losing the game."
Senators goaltender Craig Anderson "was the story of the game," Therrien said. "He played really well."
"And I'm really happy about the way we played tonight."

For thus says the high and exalted One Who lives forever, whose name is Holy, "I dwell on a high and holy place, And also with the contrite and lowly of spirit In order to revive the spirit of the lowly and to revive the heart of the contrite. - Isaiah 57:15
God is omnipresent, yet has locality, "thereness." He occupies the Throne of the cosmos, positioned at its summit. Yet in His creation, God chooses to localize His presence with the lowliest of people. Our city, Houston, is prone to flooding. Torrential rains fall from the "high" place of the skies, and probe relentlessly until they run into the lowest places. It is a picture of God. He is transcendent, yet immanent, high and lifted up, yet near. And He comes to those who need Him alone, not those who are merely curious or want to add Him to their collection of remedies.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
'Global Commission' Of Former Officials Says War On Drugs Has Failed
"The global war on drugs has failed, with devastating consequences for individuals and societies around the world," the report reads. "Fifty years after the initiation of the UN Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, and 40 years after President Nixon launched the US government's war on drugs, fundamental reforms in national and global drug control policies are urgently needed."
Among the members of the commission are former presidents of Columbia, Mexico and Brazil, former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, former U.S. Secretary of State George P. Shultz and former Fed Chair Paul Volcker, among others.
The report calls for an end to the "criminalization, marginalization and stigmatization of people who use drugs but who do no harm to others," and for governments to experiment with ways to regulate drugs so as to undercut organized crime and improve public health.
"Begin the transformation of the global drug prohibition regime," the report says. "Replace drug policies and strategies driven by ideology and political convenience with fiscally responsible policies and strategies grounded in science, health, security and human rights - and adopt appropriate criteria for their evaluation."
Read the full report here.
In a comment to The Guardian, a spokesman for White House drug tsar Gil Kerlikowske disagreed with the report's conclusions.
"Drug addiction is a disease that can be successfully prevented and treated. Making drugs more available - as this report suggests - will make it harder to keep our communities healthy and safe," the spokesman said.

Weapons to Egypt Under Review as U.S. Public Backs Cutoff
Terry Atlas and Tony CapaccioThe U.S. is weighing whether to suspend deliveries to Egypt of weapons systems including Apache attack helicopters due this month, as a national survey found that half of Americans favor cutting off military aid in response to the violence wracking the nation.
The survey released yesterday by the Pew Research Center in Washington showed 51 percent of respondents said it's better to cut off military assistance to pressure the Egyptian government, while 26 percent backed continuing aid to maintain U.S. influence and 23 percent didn't have an opinion.
The Obama administration put deliveries of five major procurement programs, including F-16 fighter jets from Lockheed Martin Corp. and M1A1 battle tanks from General Dynamics Corp., "under review," according to a July 16 State Department document sent to Congress and obtained by Bloomberg News. It was dated July 16, two weeks after Egypt's military ousted the elected Islamist government of Mohamed Mursi.
The U.S. is due this month to deliver 10 Apaches, manufactured by Boeing Co., and is scheduled to provide four kits a month to Egypt to build M1A1 tanks under a contact for 125 kits, according to the document. In both cases, "pending deliveries are under review," the State Department said in the fact sheet for Congress.
"We're reviewing all aspects of our relationship," Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told reporters yesterday at the Pentagon when asked whether the Apaches will be delayed. The administration last month postponed indefinitely the delivery of four F-16s, while four more remain scheduled for December under a contract for 20 aircraft.
'Siding With Generals'
Republican Senator John McCain is calling for an aid cutoff, saying that Egypt's generals benefit from U.S. military hardware such as Apache helicopters, which are made in his home state in Mesa, Arizona. An Egyptian Army Apache flew over pro-military demonstrators in Tahrir Square July 26.
With "Apache helicopters flying overhead, nothing is more symbolic of the United States of America siding with the generals," McCain said Aug. 18 on CNN's "State of the Union" program.
"While I agree with John McCain that the Egyptian military flying the Apache helicopters is sort of a very overt symbol of U.S. support for the generals, it's probably the only system that has utility for the things we want them to do," said Jeffrey Martini, a Middle East analyst with the Rand Corp. in Washington. "They've been using the Apaches for counterterrorism in the Sinai," where militants have gathered to plot attacks on Israel and on Egyptian authorities.
'Parade Army'
Delaying or canceling U.S. sales of the F-16s, tanks, and Apaches would have little impact on Egypt's security because "the Egyptian military doesn't face an external threat," Martini said in an interview. Most of the weapons are "more about prestige -- it's still kind of a parade army."
The violent crackdown on pro-Mursi protesters by the security services that over six days has claimed close to 1,000 lives focused more attention on the $1.3 billion a year in U.S. military aid that goes toward multiyear contracts for weapons systems.
Military assistance facing scrutiny includes contracts for four Fast Missile Craft -- patrol boats that are scheduled for delivery starting next month -- as well as Harpoon antiship missiles for delivery in November, according to the July document. There are also repair and other contracts in support of prior sales of weapons systems.
President Barack Obama said on Aug. 15 that the U.S. was canceling a military exercise with Egypt that was scheduled to begin next month and directed his staff to review whether further steps were warranted.
Survey Findings
Half of Americans surveyed in the Pew poll said Obama -- who has condemned actions by the Egyptian government and security services -- hasn't been tough enough on the Egyptian military. At the same time, Americans prefer Egypt's military over the Islamists: 45 percent said the military would provide better leadership for Egypt, with 11 percent citing the Muslim Brotherhood, and others said neither or had no opinion.
The survey of 1,000 adults was conducted Aug. 15-18 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
Interruption of delivery contracts for military assistance would leave the U.S. government obligated to fulfill contract payments, find other buyers, or negotiate termination fees that cover contractor costs plus profits
Largest Program
The 20 F-16s, the largest program with Egypt, are under an $803.4 million prime contract with Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed, of which $639.4 million had been paid to the company, according to the July document. The full F-16 program is valued at $1.66 billion, including engines, radar and other equipment. Of that, $957.9 million had been disbursed under all contracts, according to the document.
An account at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York serves as a spigot the Obama administration is using to control the flow of aid to Egypt even as it resists calls by lawmakers to stop all assistance.
The State Department has leeway in replenishing the account used to provide Foreign Military Financing that buys weaponry for Egypt, except that the $1.3 billion already appropriated is supposed to be provided by the Sept. 30 end of the current fiscal year, according to a U.S. official who asked not be identified discussing the financing.
After subtracting money already spent and cuts due to the budget process called sequestration, $585 million remains to be provided, Jen Psaki, a State Department spokeswoman, told reporters yesterday in Washington. Jack Gutt, a spokesman for the New York Fed, declined to comment.
'No Credibility'
Lawmakers led by McCain, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have pushed for the U.S. to suspend all aid to Egypt in an effort to pressure authorities to halt the civil conflict spurred by the military-led overthrow of Mursi early last month.
The administration has declined to determine that Mursi's overthrow was a coup, averting a requirement in U.S. law to cut off aid, as it seeks to maintain some leverage with the Egyptian military. Invoking the law would bar resuming aid unless the president certifies to Congress that "a democratically elected government has taken office."
The 10 Apaches are under a contract with Chicago-based Boeing valued at $171 million, of which $163.7 million had been paid, according to the document. The total program is valued at $500 million, of which $267.8 million has been disbursed.
Tank Parts
The tank coproduction agreement -- tank parts are made in the U.S. and shipped to Egypt for assembly -- is under a $338.2 million contract with Falls Church, Virginia-based General Dynamics, of which $160.1 million had been paid. The program's total value is $866 million, of which $189.3 million had been disbursed among all contracts.
The tank sales to Egypt are "proceeding as planned," Army spokeswoman Ashley Givens said in an e-mail when asked the status of deliveries.
Four Fast Missile Craft are due to be delivered from September to April 2014 under a contract with VT Halter Marine Inc. valued at $815.1 million, of which $724.8 million had been paid to the prime contractor. The program's total value is $1.1 billion, of which $863.4 million had been disbursed.
Boeing had been paid $400,000 under the $11.9 million prime contract for 20 Harpoon missiles and related equipment. The total program is valued at $103 million, of which $58.7 million has been paid on all contracts.

Couple of clarifications needed :-
1. Please clarify what is "populatedClassMetaDataByClass" ? i.e what do you mean "populated" ? Metadata is firstly populated then initialised. Then it is ready for use. Something saying "populated" to me means just populated, so not ready to hand out (assuming that is what you mean). 2. Also "getMetaDataForClassImpl" ? What does this do that getMetaDataForClass doesn't do ? "ClassImpl" naming implies implementation of class (to me). Do you mean "internal" (for internal use only) ? If so I'd expect it to be private/protected and named as such. Actually your "XXXImpl" method were private, was trying to read the lines changed and work out what it looked like. Anyway I've applied an adaption of your patch to GitHub master where we don't have these 2 new methods but still restrict how much code is synced. Suggest you have a try with that and if you have any updates to it I can re-open this.

Digital television (DTV) is the transmission of audio and video by digitally processed and multiplexed signal, in contrast to the totally analog and channel separated signals used by analog television. Digital TV can support more than one program in the same channel bandwidth.[1] It is an innovative service that represents the first significant evolution in television technology since color television in the 1950s.[2] Several regions of the world are in different stages of adaptation and are implementing different broadcasting standards. Below are the different widely used digital television broadcasting standards (DTB):
- Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) uses coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation and supports hierarchical transmission. This standard has been adopted in Europe, Singapore, Australia and New Zealand.
- Advanced Television System Committee (ATSC) uses eight-level vestigial sideband (8VSB) for terrestrial broadcasting. This standard has been adopted by six countries: United States, Canada, Mexico, South Korea, Dominican Republic and Honduras.
- Integrated Services Digital Broadcasting (ISDB) is a system designed to provide good reception to fixed receivers and also portable or mobile receivers. It utilizes OFDM and two-dimensional interleaving. It supports hierarchical transmission of up to three layers and uses MPEG-2 video and Advanced Audio Coding. This standard has been adopted in Japan and the Philippines. ISDB-T International is an adaptation of this standard using H.264/MPEG-4 AVC that been adopted in most of South America and is also being embraced by Portuguese-speaking African countries.
- Digital Terrestrial Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) adopts time-domain synchronous (TDS) OFDM technology with a pseudo-random signal frame to serve as the guard interval (GI) of the OFDM block and the training symbol. The DTMB standard has been adopted in the People's Republic of China, including Hong Kong and Macau.[3]
- Digital Multimedia Broadcasting (DMB) is a digital radio transmission technology developed in South Korea[4][5][6] as part of the national IT project for sending multimedia such as TV, radio and datacasting to mobile devices such as mobile phones, laptops and GPS navigation systems.
Digital TV's roots have been tied very closely to the availability of inexpensive, high performance computers. It wasn't until the 1990s that digital TV became a real possibility.[7]
In the mid-1980s as Japanese consumer electronics firms forged ahead with the development of HDTV technology, and as the MUSE analog format proposed by NHK, a Japanese company, was seen as a pacesetter that threatened to eclipse U.S. electronics companies. Until June 1990, the Japanese MUSE standard—based on an analog system—was the front-runner among the more than 23 different technical concepts under consideration. Then, an American company, General Instrument, demonstrated the feasibility of a digital television signal. This breakthrough was of such significance that the FCC was persuaded to delay its decision on an ATV standard until a digitally based standard could be developed.
In March 1990, when it became clear that a digital standard was feasible, the FCC made a number of critical decisions. First, the Commission declared that the new ATV standard must be more than an enhanced analog signal, but be able to provide a genuine HDTV signal with at least twice the resolution of existing television images. Then, to ensure that viewers who did not wish to buy a new digital television set could continue to receive conventional television broadcasts, it dictated that the new ATV standard must be capable of being "simulcast" on different channels. The new ATV standard also allowed the new DTV signal to be based on entirely new design principles. Although incompatible with the existing NTSC standard, the new DTV standard would be able to incorporate many improvements.[7]
The final standard adopted by the FCC did not require a single standard for scanning formats, aspect ratios, or lines of resolution. This outcome resulted from a dispute between the consumer electronics industry (joined by some broadcasters) and the computer industry (joined by the film industry and some public interest groups) over which of the two scanning processes—interlaced or progressive—is superior. Interlaced scanning, which is used in televisions worldwide, scans even-numbered lines first, then odd-numbered ones. Progressive scanning, which is the format used in computers, scans lines in sequences, from top to bottom. The computer industry argued that progressive scanning is superior because it does not "flicker" in the manner of interlaced scanning. It also argued that progressive scanning enables easier connections with the Internet, and is more cheaply converted to interlaced formats than vice versa. The film industry also supported progressive scanning because it offers a more efficient means of converting filmed programming into digital formats. For their part, the consumer electronics industry and broadcasters argued that interlaced scanning was the only technology that could transmit the highest quality pictures then (and currently) feasible, i.e., 1,080 lines per picture and 1,920 pixels per line. Broadcasters also favored interlaced scanning because their vast archive of interlaced programming is not readily compatible with a progressive format.[7]
Technical information[edit]
Formats and bandwidth[edit]
Digital television supports many different picture formats defined by the broadcast television systems which are a combination of size and aspect ratio (width to height ratio).
With digital terrestrial television (DTT) broadcasting, the range of formats can be broadly divided into two categories: high definition television (HDTV) for the transmission of high-definition video and standard-definition television (SDTV). These terms by themselves are not very precise, and many subtle intermediate cases exist.
One of several different HDTV formats that can be transmitted over DTV is: 1280 × 720 pixels in progressive scan mode (abbreviated 720p) or 1920 × 1080 pixels in interlaced video mode (1080i). Each of these uses a 16:9 aspect ratio. (Some televisions are capable of receiving an HD resolution of 1920 × 1080 at a 60 Hz progressive scan frame rate — known as 1080p.) HDTV cannot be transmitted over analog television channels because of channel capacity issues.
Standard definition TV (SDTV), by comparison, may use one of several different formats taking the form of various aspect ratios depending on the technology used in the country of broadcast. For 4:3 aspect-ratio broadcasts, the 640 × 480 format is used in NTSC countries, while 720 × 576 is used in PAL countries. For 16:9 broadcasts, the 720 × 480 format is used in NTSC countries, while 1024 × 576 is used in PAL countries. However, broadcasters may choose to reduce these resolutions to reduce bit rate (e.g., many DVB-T channels in the United Kingdom use a horizontal resolution of 544 or 704 pixels per line).[8]
Each commercial broadcasting terrestrial television DTV channel in North America is permitted to be broadcast at a bit rate up to 19 megabits per second. However, the broadcaster does not need to use this entire bandwidth for just one broadcast channel. Instead the broadcast can use the channel to include PSIP and can also subdivide across several video subchannels (a.k.a. feeds) of varying quality and compression rates, including non-video datacasting services that allow one-way high-bit-rate streaming of data to computers like National Datacast.
A broadcaster may opt to use a standard-definition (SDTV) digital signal instead of an HDTV signal, because current convention allows the bandwidth of a DTV channel (or "multiplex") to be subdivided into multiple digital subchannels, (similar to what most FM radio stations offer with HD Radio), providing multiple feeds of entirely different television programming on the same channel. This ability to provide either a single HDTV feed or multiple lower-resolution feeds is often referred to as distributing one's "bit budget" or multicasting. This can sometimes be arranged automatically, using a statistical multiplexer (or "stat-mux"). With some implementations, image resolution may be less directly limited by bandwidth; for example in DVB-T, broadcasters can choose from several different modulation schemes, giving them the option to reduce the transmission bit rate and make reception easier for more distant or mobile viewers.
Receiving digital signal[edit]
There are several different ways to receive digital television. One of the oldest means of receiving DTV (and TV in general) is from terrestrial transmitters using an antenna (known as an aerial in some countries). This way is known as Digital terrestrial television (DTT). With DTT, viewers are limited to channels that have a terrestrial transmitter in range of their antenna.
Other ways have been devised to receive digital television. Among the most familiar to people are digital cable and digital satellite. In some countries where transmissions of TV signals are normally achieved by microwaves, digital MMDS is used. Other standards, such as Digital multimedia broadcasting (DMB) and DVB-H, have been devised to allow handheld devices such as mobile phones to receive TV signals. Another way is IPTV, that is receiving TV via Internet Protocol, relying on digital subscriber line (DSL) or optical cable line. Finally, an alternative way is to receive digital TV signals via the open Internet (Internet television), whether from a central streaming service or a P2P (peer-to-peer) system.
Some signals carry encryption and specify use conditions (such as "may not be recorded" or "may not be viewed on displays larger than 1 m in diagonal measure") backed up with the force of law under the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty (WIPO Copyright Treaty) and national legislation implementing it, such as the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Access to encrypted channels can be controlled by a removable smart card, for example via the Common Interface (DVB-CI) standard for Europe and via Point Of Deployment (POD) for IS or named differently CableCard.
While poor signal quality on an analog TV is still viewable by the user, digital TV is less forgiving. When noise is introduced analog TV can be either annoying or not even perceptible, while digital TV will experience either annoying tiling or no picture at all.
Protection parameters for terrestrial DTV broadcasting[edit]
[clarification needed] Digital television signals must not interfere with each other, and they must also coexist with analog television until it is phased out. The following table gives allowable signal-to-noise and signal-to-interference ratios for various interference scenarios. This table is a crucial regulatory tool for controlling the placement and power levels of stations. Digital TV is more tolerant of interference than analog TV, and this is the reason a smaller range of channels can carry an all-digital set of television stations.[citation needed]

People can interact with a DTV system in various ways. One can, for example, browse the electronic program guide. Modern DTV systems sometimes use a return path providing feedback from the end user to the broadcaster. This is possible with a coaxial or fiber optic cable, a dialup modem, or Internet connection but is not possible with a standard antenna.
Some of these systems support video on demand using a communication channel localized to a neighborhood rather than a city (terrestrial) or an even larger area (satellite).
1-segment broadcasting[edit]
1seg (1-segment) is a special form of ISDB. Each channel is further divided into 13 segments. The 12 segments of them are allocated for HDTV and remaining segment, the 13th, is used for narrow-band receivers such as mobile television or cell phone.
Timeline of transition[edit]
Comparison of analog vs digital[edit]
DTV has several advantages over analog TV, the most significant being that digital channels take up less bandwidth, and the bandwidth needs are continuously variable, at a corresponding reduction in image quality depending on the level of compression as well as the resolution of the transmitted image. This means that digital broadcasters can provide more digital channels in the same space, provide high-definition television service, or provide other non-television services such as multimedia or interactivity. DTV also permits special services such as multiplexing (more than one program on the same channel), electronic program guides and additional languages (spoken or subtitled). The sale of non-television services may provide an additional revenue source.
Digital and analog signals react to interference differently. For example, common problems with analog television include ghosting of images, noise from weak signals, and many other potential problems which degrade the quality of the image and sound, although the program material may still be watchable. With digital television, the audio and video must be synchronized digitally, so reception of the digital signal must be very nearly complete; otherwise, neither audio nor video will be usable. Short of this complete failure, "blocky" video is seen when the digital signal experiences interference.
Analog TV started off with monophonic sound, and later evolved to stereophonic sound with two independent audio signal channels. DTV will allow up to 5 audio signal channels plus a sub-woofer bass channel, with broadcasts similar in quality to movie theaters and DVDs.[12]
Compression artifacts and allocated bandwidth[edit]
DTV images have some picture defects that are not present on analog television or motion picture cinema, because of present-day limitations of bit rate and compression algorithms such as MPEG-2. This defect is sometimes referred to as "mosquito noise".[13]
Because of the way the human visual system works, defects in an image that are localized to particular features of the image or that come and go are more perceptible than defects that are uniform and constant. However, the DTV system is designed to take advantage of other limitations of the human visual system to help mask these flaws, e.g. by allowing more compression artifacts during fast motion where the eye cannot track and resolve them as easily and, conversely, minimizing artifacts in still backgrounds that may be closely examined in a scene (since time allows).
Effects of poor reception[edit]
Changes in signal reception from factors such as degrading antenna connections or changing weather conditions may gradually reduce the quality of analog TV. The nature of digital TV results in a perfectly decodable video initially, until the receiving equipment starts picking up interference that overpowers the desired signal or if the signal is too weak to decode. Some equipment will show a garbled picture with significant damage, while other devices may go directly from perfectly decodable video to no video at all or lock up. This phenomenon is known as the digital cliff effect.
For remote locations, distant channels that, as analog signals, were previously usable in a snowy and degraded state may, as digital signals, be perfectly decodable or may become completely unavailable. The use of higher frequencies will add to these problems, especially in cases where a clear line-of-sight from the receiving antenna to the transmitter is not available.
Effect on old analog technology[edit]
This section needs to be updated. (February 2017) |
Television sets with only analog tuners cannot decode digital transmissions. When analog broadcasting over the air ceases, users of sets with analog-only tuners may use other sources of programming (e.g. cable, recorded media) or may purchase set-top converter boxes to tune in the digital signals. In the United States, a government-sponsored coupon was available to offset the cost of an external converter box. Analog switch-off (of full-power stations) took place on December 11, 2006 in The Netherlands,[14] June 12, 2009 in the United States for full-power stations, and later for Class-A Stations on September 1, 2016,[15] July 24, 2011 in Japan,[16] August 31, 2011 in Canada,[17] February 13, 2012 in Arab states, May 1, 2012 in Germany, October 24, 2012 in the United Kingdom[18] and Ireland,[19] October 31, 2012 in selected Indian cities,[20] and December 10, 2013 in Australia.[21] Completion of analog switch-off is scheduled for December 31, 2017 in the whole of India,[20] December 2018 in Costa Rica and around 2020 for the Philippines.
Disappearance of TV-audio receivers[edit]
Prior to the conversion to digital TV, analog television broadcast audio for TV channels on a separate FM carrier signal from the video signal. This FM audio signal could be heard using standard radios equipped with the appropriate tuning circuits.
However, after the transition of many countries to digital TV, no portable radio manufacturer has yet developed an alternative method for portable radios to play just the audio signal of digital TV channels. (DTV radio is not the same thing.)
Environmental issues[edit]
The adoption of a broadcast standard incompatible with existing analog receivers has created the problem of large numbers of analog receivers being discarded during digital television transition. One superintendent of Public Works was quoted in 2009 as saying, "Some of the studies I've read in the trade magazines say up to a quarter of American households could be throwing a TV out in the next two years following the regulation change".[22] In 2009, an estimated 99 million analog TV receivers were sitting unused in homes in the US alone and, while some obsolete receivers are being retrofitted with converters, many more are simply dumped in landfills where they represent a source of toxic metals such as lead as well as lesser amounts of materials such as barium, cadmium and chromium.[23][24]
According to one campaign group, a CRT computer monitor or TV contains an average of 8 pounds (3.6 kg) of lead.[25] According to another source, the lead in glass of a CRT varies from 1.08 lb to 11.28 lb, depending on screen size and type, but the lead is in the form of "stable and immobile" lead oxide mixed into the glass.[26] It is claimed that the lead can have long-term negative effects on the environment if dumped as landfill.[27] However, the glass envelope can be recycled at suitably equipped facilities.[28] Other portions of the receiver may be subject to disposal as hazardous material.
Local restrictions on disposal of these materials vary widely; in some cases second-hand stores have refused to accept working color television receivers for resale due to the increasing costs of disposing of unsold TVs. Those thrift stores which are still accepting donated TVs have reported significant increases in good-condition working used television receivers abandoned by viewers who often expect them not to work after digital transition.[29]
In Michigan in 2009, one recycler estimated that as many as one household in four would dispose of or recycle a TV set in the following year.[30] The digital television transition, migration to high-definition television receivers and the replacement of CRTs with flatscreens are all factors in the increasing number of discarded analog CRT-based television receivers.

Did Tiger Woods cheat or "bend" the rules?
Masters officials assessed a two-stroke penalty to Tiger Woods on Saturday morning for taking an illegal drop on the No. 15 hole during Friday's second round of the tournament.
He will start Round 3 with a two-round score of 1-under 143, making him five strokes back of leader Jason Day, who is 6 under. Rule 33-7 allows the officials committee to use discretion in waiving a disqualification in favor of a penalty. This apparently is why officials only assessed a penalty rather than disqualifying Woods for signing an illegal scorecard. Woods tees off today at 12:45 p.m. CST. Fred Ridley, chairman of the rules committee, said in a statement tournament officials were notified of the improper drop by a TV viewer on Friday and reviewed a video of the shot while Woods was playing the 18th hole. "At the moment and based on the evidence, the Committee determined he had complied with the Rules," Ridley said. However, tournament officials changed their mind after hearing Woods say in a post-round TV interview that he had played his shot further from the point than where he had played his third shot. "Such action would constitute playing from the wrong place," Ridley said. "The subsequent information provided by the players' interview after he had completed play warranted further review and discussion with him this morning. After meeting with the player, it was determined that he had violated Rule 26, and he was assessed a two-stroke penalty. The penalty of disqualification was waived by the Committee under Rule 33 as the Committee had previously reviewed the information and made its initial determination prior to the final of the player's round." The controversy brewed Saturday morning, a half-day after Woods completed his round of 71 on Friday to position himself within three shots of the lead. Woods took a drop after his approach shot on No. 15 hit the flag stick and bounced into the water. Under Rule 26-1, Woods had three options at the yellow-staked (not lateral) hazard, which is a pond that fronts the green: He could have played from a designated drop area. He could drop the ball, keeping the point where it last crossed the margin of the water between the hole and the spot on which the ball would be dropped. Or, he could return to the original spot from which he played, and drop "as nearly as possible,'' from where he played the third shot. This is the option Woods chose. After the round Friday, Woods said: "I went back to where I played it from, but I went two yards further back and I took, tried to take two yards off the shot of what I felt I hit." CBS golf analyst Nick Faldo, a former Masters champion, said he thinks Woods should withdraw from the tournament because of the controversy, a sentiment echoed by PGA golfer David Duval on Twitter: "I think he should WD. He took a drop to gain an advantage." Duval later added: DQ believers aren't wrong. 2 shot penalty believers not wrong. Precedent is now set. ...We all live with the committee decision now. Time to move on." Other players supported Woods. Graeme McDowell tweeted: "2 shot penalty for TW (Tiger Woods) for wrong drop. New rule applied for trial by tv. Instead of retrospective DQ, player receives a penalty. Decent rule. ... Take the fact that it was Tiger out of the equation and it is a fair ruling." Hunter Mahan also supported the decisionon Twitter: "Two shot penalty official. I like this ruling because he took an illegal drop but no official brought it to his attn." Tiger Woods assessed two-stroke penalty but not disqualified from Masters for illegal drop | NOLA.com |

Re: Did Tiger Woods cheat or "bend" the rules?
I like how Tiger so easily just takes 6 feet off of his shot. Those guys make it look so easy.
Wish I could take 60 feet off my slice.... |
Re: Did Tiger Woods cheat or "bend" the rules?
Its only cheating if you get caught, so going by that rule. I guess he did. He didn't win, so in the long run who cares. Besides the Masters has it own set of rules, its the only tournament that doesn't have rule officials walk with the golfers

We already heard the details, but it was still hard to wrap our head around why Apple would make an operating system without many visible features and just go and change architecture around. He explains that they're doing it because programmers don't know WTF is going on with parallel processing. 1. Advertisement Advertisement The way the processor industry is going is to add more and more cores, but nobody knows how to program those things. I mean, two, yeah; four, not really; eight, forget it.Jobs claims that Apple's made a "breakthrough" in parallel-programming called Grand Central, which he alluded to in his keynote yesterday. He didn't, however, go into details about how it works and why it's going to revolutionize dividing up tasks into multiple processors in ways that other operating systems haven't yet. What's also interesting is the ability to bring the GPU (your graphics card) into the processing role to help out your CPU. Apple's calling this newly proposed standard OpenCL (Open Compute Library). Sponsored 2.Basically it lets you use graphics processors to do computation. It's way beyond what Nvidia or anyone else has, and it's really simple.It's vaguely similar to the way that Photoshop CS 4 will use your graphics card to help process image manipulation and help out in rendering 3D models as well. Will there be more features like Time Machine? Not according to Jobs. 3. Advertisement "We've added over a thousand features to Mac OS X in the last five years," he said Monday in an interview after his presentation. "We're going to hit the pause button on new features."Seems to us that Snow Leopard won't be heavy on the features, but it will increase processing speeds for people who are heavy on the processing in their daily computing and have more than just a few cores-a place we're all heading to in the next few years.
