Proceeds from all PGA TOUR events benefit charities selected by the tournament organization. The nationally known educational foundation Teach for America has been selected as the primary charitable recipient of the Wells Fargo Championship. The Wells Fargo Championship has donated $14.8 million to charity and boosted awareness of various Charlotte-area organizations.
"We are thrilled to be selected to receive proceeds from this event," said Wendy Kopp, founder and president of Teach For America.

Back up Android Apps with oandbackup
Productivity Sauce
Titanium Backup is not the easiest app to master, but it's loaded with useful features and does the excellent job of backing up apps and settings. The only fly in the ointment is the fact that Titanium Backup is a closed source commercial app. If this is a deal-breaker for you, or you prefer something less complicated, then oandbackup might be right up your alley. This app offers a simple way to back up apps and settings on rooted Android devices. Besides the root access, oandbackup also requires that BusyBox is installed on your Android device. Since oandbackup is available only through the F-Droid catalog, you have to install the F-Droid app as well.
When you launch oandbackup, it scans the device for installed apps and presents them as a list. To back up a single app, tap on it and press the backup button. Obviously, scrolling up and down the list of all installed apps is not the most efficient way to find apps you want to back up. Fortunately, oandbackup features find and filtering capabilities that make it easier to quickly locate the desired apps. In addition to backup, oandbackup supports other actions which can be accessed by long-tapping an app. The uninstall action removes the app from your device, while the disable and enable actions remove the app without uninstalling it and re-activate it.
Compared to Titanium Backup, oandbackup is decidedly light on features, and it lacks useful functionality like the ability to save backups to cloud storage services. But if you are looking for a no-frills open source backup app that does the job with a minimum of fuss, oandbackup deserves a closer look.comments powered by Disqus

The output of the amplifier having the highest gain not exceeding a predetermined maximum is gated to a sample and hold circuit whose output feeds a linear PCM encoder. Bits identifying the selected amplifier channel are added to the encoder output.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a method and apparatus for pulse code modulating an analog signal in a non-linear fashion In conventional PCM systems, the analog input is fed to a sample and hold circuit to provide an amplitude modulated pulse train having a frequency equal to the sampling rate and an envelope corresponding to the analog signal. The pulse train is then supplied to an encoder unit that quantizes each pulse and generates a corresponding digital code word for it, and these code words constitute the PCM signal. One of the limiting parameters of such systems is the number of quantizing levels available. The greater the number of such levels, the higher the signal resolution or fidelity. Increasing resolution by providing more quantizing levels also increases the hardware requirements, however, and results in longer code words and hence slower transmission rates for the same clocking speed.
One solution to this dilemma, as applied to audio transmissions, has been the use of companders, which are based on the fact that most of the intelligence in audio signals is concentrated in the middle and low amplitude ranges. In other words, moderate speech levels carry most of the information in a voice signal while very loud components or shouts convey little intelligence. Compander systems take advantage of this characteristic by non-linearly amplifying the audio signal, either before or after sampling, to expand the middle and low range portions of the signal proportionately more than the high range signals. This enlarges the most critical area of the speech signal and has the effect of increasing overall resolution without an attendant hardware increase or a slower transmission rate. The reconstructed pulse train or audio signal atthe receiver end of the system is passed through an amplifier having a gain curve or transfer characteristic which is complementary to that of the transmitter amplifier, thus removing the distortion purposely introduced into the system and restoring the audio signal to its original form.
In actual use, the increased resolution afforded by such compander systems is more limited than might be expected, and is obtained at the sacrifice of good resolution in the high amplitude ranges. A further drawback is the requirement for amplifier pairs having accurately matched inverse or complementary gain characteristics, such components being relatively expensive and sensitive to tem- 3,500,247 Patented Mar. 10, 1970 perature and power supply variations. In addition, compander systems still require sampling circuits operable over the entire input voltage range and such wide range circuits, usually of the diode bridge type, are sources of large, errors due to mismatch in both the current drive and diode characteristics.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION To overcome the above disadvantages attendant with the prior art systems, this invention provides a PCM system in which the analog input signal is simultaneously amplified in a plurality of parallel channels having sequentially increasing gains. Alternatively, the input signal may be attenuated by varying degrees in the parallel channels. The essential criterion is that the parallel channels provide the same input signal with sequentially related amplitudes. The outputs of all but the lowest gain amplifier are continuously monitored by threshold detectors having the same, preset triggering level. The detector outputs are in turn fed to a logic circuit that selects the channel having the highest gain not exceeding the threshold or triggering level. This channel is then gated to a conventional sample and hold circuit whose pulse output feeds a linear PCM encoder. The encoder pulses are supplied to an output register for transmission. The selection logic circuit output is also coupled to a coding circuit that identifies the selected channel by appropriately setting some additional stages in the output register. This entire operational pattern for the transmission end of the system is simply reversed at the receiving end to effect the necessary pulse code demodulation.
In this manner, the input signal is amplified or expanded to the maximum extent within the limits of the system, to thereby greatly increase the overall signal resolution without an attendant increase in the number of quantizing levels and without sacrificing the resolution of high amplitude signals. As an example, assume that a conventional PCM system transmits 8 bit binary code words, which would accommodate 2 or 256 quantizing levels. If the maximum input signal range is 10 volts, then a 2 volt input signal could be resolved or quantized to approximately 1 part in 51 (2/ l0 256), or, stated another way, to an accuracy of 39 millivolts 10/256). By the technique of this invention, however, the step size or quantizing accuracy is ultimately proportional to the gain of the amplification channel employed. Assuming five amplification channels with sequentially increasing gains of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the same 2 volt input signal would be amplified by a factor of 5 to 10 volts which is still within the maximum signal handling range of the system. The expanded 2 volt signal may then be resolved to 1 part in 256 for a resolution factor increase of 5:1. The expanded signal is still quantized to an accuracy of 39 millivolts, but when the expansion is removed at the receiver end of the system, the 39 millivolt level shrinks to approximately 8 millivolts.
The overall gain curve of such a plural channel system has a saw-tooth configuration that lies in the upper signal handling range except for very low amplitude input signals. When dealing with voice communications, advantage may be taken of the fact that almost no intelligence is carried in the low amplitude or whisper range by establishing a minimum input voltage level and rejecting all signals below the minimum. This reduces the effective signal operating range of the system by a factor of 2 or more, which increases the resolution by an equal factor, reduces the maximum voltage requirements, and thus the expense, of the sample and hold and encoder circuitry, and enables faster operation.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The foregoing and other objects, features and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the following more particular description of a preferred embodiment of the invention, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
In the drawings:
FIGURE 1 shows a block diagram of a PCM encoding system constructed in accordance with the teachings of this invention,
FIGURE 2 shows a truth table for the amplifier identi fication logic of FIGURE 1,
FIGURE 3 shows a composite gain curve for the parallel amplification channels of FIGURE 1, and
FIGURE 4 shows a block diagram of a PCM decoding system adapted for operation with the encoding system of FIGURE 1.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT Referring now to FIGURE 1, the analog input signal applied to terminal 10 is branched to five parallel connected amplifiers A1, A2, A3, A4 and A having respec tive gains of 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 as indicated in the drawings. The analog input signal may be derived from a single source or it may be supplied from a plural channel multiplexer, its precise origin being outside the scope of the invention. The sequentially related gains of the five amplifiers may be more readily understood from FIGURE 3 in which the straight lines labeled A1, A2, A3, A4 and A5 represent the input versus output voltage characteristics, or gains, of the corresponding amplifiers. Once again, the same amplitude relationships could alternately be provided by attenuating the input signal to varying degrees.
The output of each amplifier is fed to an associated gate 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20, shown here as field effect tran sistors. The outputs of amplifiers A2, A3, A4 and A5 are also supplied to threshold detectors 22, 24, 26 and 28, respectively, each having the same, preset triggering or threshold level of V The detector outputs are coupled to an amplifier selection logic circuit 30 comprising Inverters 32, 34, 36 and 38 and AND gates 40, 42 and 44. The logic circuit has five output lines designated A1-A5 and is designed to raise the output line corresponding to the amplifier having the highest signal not exceeding the Vmaxd threshold level.
The outputs from the selection logic circuit 30 are individually coupled to the gate terminals of transistors 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20, and are also fed to an amplifier identification logic circuit 46. The gate outputs are connected in common and supplied to a conventional sample and hold circuit 48 of the diode bridge type that con verts the analog signals to a pulse amplitude modulated wave form. Before such conversion, the analog signals are diminished in amplitude by an amount equal to V in FIGURE 3. This may be implemented by any voltage subtracting means 50 known in the art, such as a series connected battery, a Zener diode having a breakdown volt age of V etc.
The PAM signal from the sample and hold circuit 48 is fed to a linear PCM encoder 52, which may be of any conventional type well known in the art. The encoder 52 quantizes each pulse in the PAM signal by selecting the closest amplitude level thereto and generates an 8 bit binary code word corresponding to the selected level. The code word is represented by raising the potentials on appropriate ones of the set and reset lines 54 at the encoder output, and these potentials place the bistable stages 84-811 in the output register 56 in the proper states cor responding to the code word.
In the amplifier identification logic circuit 46, three flip-flops 58, 60 and 62 are individually placed in their set or reset states by the output lines Al-AS from the selection logic circuit 30 according to the truth table 4 shown in FIGURE 2. The latter is implemented by a network of diode OR gates. The set and reset outputs of the flip-flops in turn place the bistable stages S1flS3 in the output register 56 in the proper states to identify the amplifier channel that is being used for the code word in register stages S4S11. When the register 56 is fully loaded with the channel identification bits in stages 51-53 and the PCM word bits in stages S4-S11, it is stepped or read out serially to deliver the entire bit sequence to the PCM output terminal 64. As an alternative, the register could be read out in parallel fashion, such being outside the scope of the invention.
Various conventional details of the circuitry of FIG- URE 1 have been omitted from the drawing and the above description for the sake of simplicity. For example, no power supplies or biasing sources have been shown, and the clocking circuitry has been omitted. The latter would operate the sample and hold circuit at the Nyquist rate, which is equal to twice the frequency of the highest frequency component of the analog input signal, and would control the encoder converting and transfer functions, as well as the register stepping. Furthermore, if bipolar analog input signals are to be handled, it will be necessary to full wave rectify them before applying them to input terminal 10. A polarity bit must then accompany each coded transmission so that negative inputs may be inverted at the receiver or decoder end of the system to restore the original wave form.
The PCM decoding system shown in FIGURE 4 is adapted to be used at the receiver end of a communications system employing the PCM encoder ofl FIGURE 1, and is basically the reverse of the FIGURE 1 arrangement. The PCM signal is delivered to input terminal 66 after transmission by microwave, overground wires or by any other suitable means. It is fed to an eleven stage input register 68 whose first three stages are sensed by an identification decoding logic circuit 70 and whose last eight stages are sensed by a linear PCM decoder 72. The
logic circuit 70 contains three flip-flops and five AND gates arranged to decode the truth table of FIGURE 2 and raise one of the output lines A1-A5 corresponding to the amplification channel of FIGURE 1 used to expand the pulse coded signal in the remaining stages of the register 68. The PCM decoder 72 converts each eight bit code to an equivalent pulse amplitude and delivers same to the sample and hold circuit 74. The latter may be the same as the sample and hold circuit 48 in the encoder but is connected in reverse, that is, the pulse input is supplied to the charging or holding capacitor and the analog output is taken from the opposite diagonal of the diode bridge. The sample and hold output is supplied to a set of amplifier gates 76 through a voltage adder 78 that restores the V potential removed at the encoder end. The amplifier gates are identical to those in FIGURE 1 and pass the analog signal from the adder 78 to the proper output amplifier channel under the control of the identification decoding logic circuit 70. The output amplifiers A6, A7, A8, A9 and A10 have respective gains of /s, A, /3, /z and 1, and their gain ratios are thus the inverse of the gain ratios in the encoders. This removes the distortion introduced into the system in the encoder and restores the analog signal to its original form at output terminal 80. While no shown, smoothing filters would normally be incorporated into the receiver decoding system to remove any transient or noise signals generated by the rapid switching from one amplification channel to another.
OPERATION The operation of the PCM system of the present invention will now be described by following an analog input signal applied to terminal 10 through to its final output at terminal 80. It will be assumed that the signal handling range of the system, that is, V is 10 volts and that the instantaneous value of the analog input signal is 3 volts. The five parallel amplifiers Al-AS will simultaneously act on the input signal and produce respective outputs of 3, 6-, 9, 12 and 15 volts. Since all of the threshold detectors are set to switch at the V' level ofvolts, the outputs of threshold detectors 26 and 28 will be up, while those of threshold'detectors 22 and 24 will be down. The raised output of threshold detector 28 conditions AND gate 40 and causes inverter 32 to dropv output line A5 of the selection logic circuit 30, thus eliminating amplifier channel A5 from selection. The raised output from threshold detector 26 conditions AND gate 42 and causes inverter 34 to lower its output, thereby block ing AND gate 40 and holding output line A4 down. Since threshold detector 24 senses only 9 volts at the output of amplifier A3, its output is down. This causes inverter 36 to raise its output, which, in conjunction with the conditioning signal from threshold detector 26, actuates AND gate 42. Line A3 is therefore raised to select amplifier A3 as the active channel for the applied 3 volt input signal. The down output from threshold detector 24 blocks AND gate 44 to hold line A2 down, and the down output from threshold detector 22 holds lines A1 down. 1
Thus, the amplifier selection logic circuit 30 is always effective to raise only one output line corresponding to the amplifier channel having the highest output not exceeding the Vmax, level. The raised signal on line A3 from the selection logic circuit 30 gates the 9 volt output from amplifier A3 through field effect transistor 16 to the voltage subtractor 50, while the lowered signals on lines A1, A2, A4 and A5 hold transistors 20, 18, 14 and 12 off, respectively, to block the corresponding amplifier outputs. This results in a composite gain curve for the gated amplifiers as represented by the heavy, zigzag line in FIGURE 3, and ensures that each input signal will be expanded to its maximum extent with the V limit of 10 volts before being further processed.
It may be seen from FIGURE 3 that the major portion of the composite gain curve lies in the upper signal handling range of the system, while the only portion in the lower range, running up from the origin along the gain curve of amplifier A5, corresponds to very low amplitude input signals. Since these low amplitude or whisper signals convey almost no intelligence in audio or voice transmissions, they may be eliminated with little sacrifice in fidelity. This is accomplished by the voltage subtractor 50, which will be assumed to subtract a V value of 5 volts from the amplifier gate output. This 5 volt subtraction has the eifect of moving the abscissa or V coordinate line in FIGURE 3 up to the V level, which shrinks the operating range of the system beyond the subtractor 50 from 10 volts down to 5 volts. As mentioned earlier, a 2:1 reduction of this nature doubles the PCM signal resolution, enables substantial savings in the cost of the sample and hold and encoder circuits, and permits more rapid operation.
With a 9 volt input, the subtractor 50 supplies a 9-5 volt or 4 volt output to the sample and hold circuit 48, which in turn converts the 4 volt analog signal to a pulse having an amplitude of 4 volts. This pulse is fed to the PCM linear encoder 52 where it is quantized to the nearest one of 256 amplitude levels and converted to a corresponding eight bit digital code. The code word bits are applied to the binary stages S4-S11 in the output register 56 by the set and restet lines 54.
At the same time, the raised signal on line A3 from the selection logic circuit 30 is supplied to the amplifier iden tification logic circuit 46. This signal passes through diode OR gates at the zero input of flip-flop 58, the one input of flip-flop 60 and the zero input of flip-flip 62, to thereby place the three flip-flops in a 010 sequence in accordance with the truth table of FIGURE 2. The flip-flops states are reflected on their set and reset outputs which in turn place output register stages S1, S2 and S3 in their 0, 1 and 0 states, respectively.
At this point, the output register 56 is fully loaded 6 with the bits of the first three stages identifying the threshold selected amplifier chanel A3 an dthe bits in the last eight stages being the coded representation of the quantizing level nearest the 4 volt signal. The contents of the register may then he stepped out serially to the PCM output terminal 64 for transmission to a remote receiving station.
Referring to FIGURE 4, the received PCM signal is applied to in put terminal 66 from which it loads the eleven stage input register 68. Once loaded, the first three stages of the register, containing the channel identification bits, are sensed by the identification decoding logic circuit 70, while the last eight stages, containing the coded pulse bits, are sensed by the PCM linear decoder 72 The decoder converts the code word back into a 4 volt pulse and applies it to the same and hold circuit 74, whose 4 volt analog output is fed to voltage adder 78. The five volts subtracted from the signal in the modulation end of the system, corresponding to V are restored by adder 78, whose 9 volt output is applied to the amplifier gates 76. The identification decoding logic circuit 70 raises output line A3 which gates the 9 volt signal through output amplified A8 having a gain of /a. With a gain of /3, the distortion introduced at the modulatorby multiplying the original input signal by a factor of 3 is removed and the analog output of terminal is restored to its original form.
While the invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

The loss from discontinued operations in fiscal 2013 resulted from adjustments required to true up the tax benefits realized from the loss on the sale of the Company's wholly-owned industrial thread manufacturing company American & Efird ("A&E"). The loss from discontinued operations in the third quarter of fiscal 2012 included an income tax expense adjustment of $3.5 million for establishing a reserve against future utilization of tax benefits as a result of the A&E purchase price allocation which re-categorized more of the loss on sale as a capital loss. The pre-tax loss from discontinued operations for the first nine months of fiscal 2012 amounted to $19.0 million and were primarily driven by non-cash charges for the settlement of pension liabilities and other employee benefits in connection with the sale of A&E.Thomas W. Dickson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer stated, "We are pleased with our results for the third quarter. Our comparable store sales increase, which was negatively impacted by the shift of both the Easter and Fourth of July Holidays, remained positive despite the fact that we still do not see any meaningful inflation for the current year. In addition, after adjusting for the shift in the holidays, we continue to realize an increase in the number of items sold year-over-year. We believe that our pricing and promotional strategies are effective in driving unit sales while increasing the quarterly gross margin by 32 basis points over the prior year. We remain committed to our customers to deliver outstanding values and excellent customer service."

Installing Window Maker
The source for Window Maker can be retrieved from the primary web site at http://windowmaker.org/. You'll need two packages from this site: the source distribution and the libPropList source package. The latter package is a library used by Window Maker, which you must build and install before attempting to build Window Maker. End users probably won't refer to it much after building Window Maker, so we'll just look at getting it installed. At the time of this writing, the latest version of libPropList is 0.91 and the latest version of Window Maker is 0.61.
In order to make use of fancy graphics, you'll need the standard set of graphics libraries: libpng, libtiff, libjpeg, libgif and libXPM. All of these are fairly standard on newer Linux distributions. If you have an older version (more than two years old), you may want to check if these libraries are installed. If not, check Freshmeat (http://freshmeat.net/) for where to find the latest versions.
One other optional library is GNU xgettext. This library is needed only if you plan to use a language other then English, and then only if you want the messages displayed by Window Maker to be in that language. You won't need it, for example, if your root menu is in French. Internationalization is a topic all to itself, and since I have enough problems with English, I will leave it to someone better suited to its discussion.
If you're installing from source and you use Red Hat, there are a few rules to follow:
Uninstall any existing Window Maker installation. Execute these commands:
rpm -qa | grep -i window rpm -e package
package is the package name returned by the first command. If no package name is returned, then skip the second command.
Make sure the LANG and LINGUAS environment variables are not set to en_RN:
set | grep LANG
If this returns anything, then type:
unset LANG
set | grep LINGUAS unset LINGUAS
Make sure there is a link from /usr/include/X11 to /usr/X11R6/include/X11:
ls -ol /usr/include/X11
If this returns "No such file or directory", then type:
ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/X11 /usr/include/X11
Building is a breeze if all the prerequisites are installed. I installed under /usr/local/WindowMaker (both the libProplist and Window Maker packages), which required updating the /etc/ld.so.conf file and running ldconfig afterwards.
We'll skip installing the graphics libraries, since most users will probably already have these. Once you've downloaded them, unpack the libPropList and Window Maker source packages into their own directories using the following commands:
tar xvzf libPropList.tar.gz tar xvzf WindowMaker-0.61.tar.gz
This will create directories called libPropList-0.91 and WindowMaker-0.61. Note that the file name is dependent on whatever the current versions are.
In the libPropList directory, there is an editable configuration file (plconf.h), but this probably isn't necessary. Just run the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/WindowMaker make
The first command configures the source to be installed under /usr/local/WindowMaker. If you've read any of my other articles, you'll know I install new packages in their own directories under /usr/local. Since so many Linux applications are evolving entities, this sort of product management makes upgrading from source code much simpler. In this case, since I don't expect to use libPropList for anything other than Window Maker, I'll just stuff it into the same place I'm going to install the Window Maker files.
Once the source has been compiled (via the make command), you need to change to the root user via su or sudo and run the following command:
make install
At this point, libPropList is installed, and you will most likely not have to deal with it any further. Be sure to exit from the root user account.
Building the Window Maker source is just as simple. The configure script has many options. Although you probably won't need to use any of these options, you should still read the INSTALL file to be certain. Options that might be useful include --enable-kde to run Window Maker with KDE, --enable-gnome to run Window Maker with GNOME, and --enable-sound if you like annoying sounds associated with certain actions on the desktop.
I'm not going to be using Window Maker with GNOME or KDE, so my configure command looks like this:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/WindowMaker \ --with-incs-from=-I/usr/local/WindowMaker \ --with-libs-from=-L/usr/local/WindowMaker/lib
Note: the "\" is a continuation character which allows you to spread a command over multiple lines.
Now, we just need to build and install the package:
Change to the root user and run:
make installThe last step for installation of the Window Maker source package is to make sure the Window Maker and libPropList libraries can be found when you run the window manager. To do this, run the following commands:
echo "/usr/local/WindowMaker/lib" >> \ /etc/ld.so.conf ldconfigThe first command appends the directory name to the end of the ld.so.conf configuration file. The second command tells the operating system to reload that configuration because a change was made.
The last three commands were all run as root, so now you can exit from the root user back to your normal user account.
The next step is to install the Window Maker data package, which includes a set of pixmaps for use with Window Maker. This package requires manual installation by copying the pixmaps to the proper directory. Change to the WindowMaker-data directory (after unpacking it). If you installed Window Maker in the default directory, /usr/local, then you can use the following command:
cp -r pixmaps /usr/local/share
In our case, we installed under /usr/local/WindowMaker, so we'd use a command like this instead:
cp -r pixmaps /usr/local/WindowMaker/shareFinally, make sure the Window Maker binaries and scripts can be found by adding them to your PATH environment variable:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/WindowMaker/bin
Re: Installing Window Maker
Window Maker, swindow saker. Windows are for wussies.
Re: Installing Window Maker
Window maker, Widow taker
Re: Installing Window Maker
>> Building is a breeze if all the prerequisites are installed.
Ok then, how do I install Window Maker If I don't have the "prerequisites" installed? What are the freakin "prerequisites"?

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication. In this ebook, I discuss SSH and how to configure and manage it to guarantee that your network is safe, your data is secure and that you comply with relevant regulations.Get the Guide

In Wiesel's uncensored Hebrew 'Night' manuscript, unveiled here for the first time, the author expresses desire to take revenge on the Hungarians, lashes out at fellow Jews and describes sexual scenes from the train to Auschwitz.03:47 01.05.16 | 8 comments
Although there are Jews that don't agree with that position, it has its place, and there is a way to accomodate these womens' needs.. At some point there will be an opportunity for some Jewish women for whom Normative Halachic worship is in appropriate and they will, as the compromise suggests, offer the possiblity for an alternaive at the Southern Wall. That there are some women that cannot accept the "facts of Jewish life" that in order to live together with someone with whom you disagree, you have to give in some to have a peacable relationship is unfortunate, as the majority of WoW have agreed. Frankly, it is a major concession for the Haredim for whom Halacha is the cornerstone of Jewish life, and any break with it is a serious breach. And yes, it might whet the curiousity of otherwise Halachically Observant Jews to "try it out" ought to be enough of a reason to accept what has been offered. This splinter group, at some point, may discover all by themselves that their vinegar will be too sour, as they see some postive results at the honey that has been offered at the Southern Wall, perhaps..

Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Seymore notes that Intel's new leadership team is resetting the company's growth trajectory, but also is also showing spending restraint, something Wall Street may like down the line. The company also lowered its full-year capital spending plan. It now expects to spend $11 billion, plus or minus $500 million, down from a previous view of $12 billion.
"While this [revenue] guide is mildly disappointing, we believe the [company] has now set the bar realistically and importantly shown continued signs of cost control by trimming capex/opex (- $1b/-$200m)," Seymore wrote in the note. "Consequently, we believe the [company's] transition into faster growing mkts (ultra-mobile, foundry etc.) will require patience, but expect the shares to slowly rise as signs of success emerge in 2H13 (tablets, convertibles etc.) and become more meaningful in 2014 (LTE handsets)." He rates Intel shares "buy" with a $26 price target.

He did not do any sports, just watched TV in his free time. That changed two years ago: He found a Snowshoeing team and started walking on Snowshoes. After a few months of encouragement from team members and coaches - and the prospect of the Special Olympics World Games - he decided to get serious. "My father was at our practice, and I thought I would just try it and started running. My father got so excited, he was jumping up and down," Henrik says, laughing at the memory of his excited father - it was the first time in many years he had seen him run. Since then he hasn't missed a practice. Henrik has also changed his whole lifestyle. The team visited a nutrition school, and Henrik learned which habits he should change. Now he rarely eats candy and fast food, and drinks water, not soda - except for every other weekend, birthdays and holidays. The effect is very visible - his old pants fit again. His family and coaches are very proud of his changes.
