Apple, LG, Motorola, NEC, Nokia, Qualcomm, Research in Motion, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, and Texas Instruments have agreed to standardise their smartphone chargers in Europe using micro-USB. "The European Commission announced today that 10 mobile phone producers, which represent some 90 percent of the mobile phone market in the European Union, have signed a voluntary agreement to use standardized chargers for mobile phones using a micro-USB connector. The agreement addresses the EC's concern that mobile phone chargers create needless electronic waste." A single charger for everything! It almost brings tears to my eyes. Honestly. Even Apple. There it is. The tear.

I would like to be one of those people who write an obituary about the best dog in the world, but that is not going to happen. I have to be honest. Hilda was a challenging dog. She was a high maintenance dog. She could be a pain in the butt. She tore up and destroyed more than her fair share. And speaking of sharing, she didn't.
When my big dog Bennie was about 6 months old, my wife and I decided to get a companion for him. I was thinking of a dog just a bit smaller than my Border Collie mix, but at a PetSmart adoption my ex found a little fury girl. Nobody really knew what kind of dog she was. She was maybe 6 months old and seemed to have come from an abusive family. She was scared of her own shadow and did not seem to like anybody. Although I did not really want her, my ex prevailed. I named her Hilda, because that is who she was.
After about 2 weeks my wife hated her. After about 2 weeks Hilda hated my wife- an emotion I would later understand. Hilda, however, grew to love me. A year later I was divorced and living in an apartment with two dogs and Hilda grew to love me even more. Eight years, many rugs and countless bedspreads later, I believe it is safe to say that Hilda ended up loving me more fiercely than any animal I have ever owned. And it was a jealous love. If another dog got into my lap, other than Bennie, she would launch at them. I could not pet any other dog without her trying to get between me and them.
Although she ended up trusting me and Bennie, she was always shy around other dogs and people. Children always wanted to pet her, but she would not let them until she knew them very well. Anybody not with me was the enemy. At dog parks she would stay under my feet, venturing out only to quickly share a sniff with a nearby small dog. And nobody at a dog park could ever pet her. If I was walking her and Bennie and we passed other dogs, she always tried to start trouble. For a little dog she had a lot of attitude.
Hilda slept in my bed and by my side the entire time I had her. Every now and then, perhaps because of a girlfriend or a feeling that I was not getting a good nights sleep, I would decide that Hilda should sleep in one of her and Bennie's beds. Of course Hilda would jump up onto my bed when she thought I was asleep- a herculean task for a small dog with such short legs, and a task without a 100% success rate. I would carefully place her back on the floor. She would try again and again. A battle would be waged. When she realized that I was serious "this time", she would go nuclear. She would just start peeing in my bed during the day until I relented and allowed the status quo to return. She was a strong willed little dog! It was easier to just let her sleep where she wanted.
I am a photographer by hobby, and some people think I take pretty good pictures. Hilda seemed to foil me. She did not like having her picture taken. She spoiled most of them. I have a large collection of fuzzy pictures of a furry dog. I finally got a good one a few weeks ago. I snapped about 30 shots of the same picture. One came out decent. All the others were blurred. I don't know how she did it, but I think she was a little like Nicholai Hel in Trevanian's Shibumi- she could sense the concentration on her and would psychically know to twitch when I pressed the shutter. I am grateful I got that last shot, however.
So I had to take that ride to the vets office this evening. I have cried over this little devil since I found out she was sick. I was lucky enough to know this was coming and so got to spend a good month saying good-bye. She did not seem to be in pain, but she was getting thinner everyday. She would not eat anything at all this last week. On many mornings she would seem weak and lethargic. I would cry going to work knowing that she would either be dead when I got home or I would have to make that ride. I would come home and she would greet me at the door wagging her tail, waiting for me to put down my things, walk to the carpet in the hallway, and pet her and Bennie. Then she would be fine for a while until she decided to nap. This happened many mornings. I was starting to get pissed at her for jerking my chain like this. I was beginning to think she was playing me again. Then this afternoon she did not meet me at the door. I walked down the hallway to her bed. Her tail wagged when she saw me, but she could not get up. I was about to take that ride.
Hilda, Bennie and I spent about half an hour in the woods behind my place. No matter how sick Hilda got she loved to sit outside and just look. We did that. We looked and I petted her. Finally, I could put it off no longer and I loaded her into my car. We took that last ride together.
Hilda went to sleep in my arms- it was not going to be any other way. It killed me, my stomach hurt and I wanted to cry, but she would go out in the arms of somebody she loved who loved her dearly. As I said, she was a pain in the butt at times, but she loved me as fiercely as I loved her.
She went very quickly, and as she relaxed into that long sleep, I saw the dog I have loved for eight years. I did not realize how tense she had been until the tension was released and she dropped into peacefulness. She looked how she used to look when I woke up with her at my side every morning- like all was well and there were no worries. I am glad I was able to give her that again, at least one more time.

That's heartbreaking. I've lost three dogs over the past decade and it hurts to lose each of them.

Beautifully written and from the heart. And you made me laugh AND cry. Rest in peace Hilda.

Really great obit for a really great little dog. So sorry for you and Hilda. I hope you open your heart to another. Judi
your beautifully written tribute had me giggling as I look over the blurry pics.
and her 'tude comes through in the clear shots -
may your heart heal and in time be filled with the warmth at all the good times you shared
Gttim, I was very moved by your post about Hilda (the hellion) and very sorry for your loss. It sounds like you could have used the Dog Whisperer's help with Hilda. Regardless, good on you for taking her on and sticking with her. I don't know if you've ever seen Cricket Cast, but Hilda looks like she could be Cricket's cousin.

I joke about her being a difficult dog. She was actually very loving to me and Bennie, unless food was involved and then it was every man or woman for him or herself. Thanks for the comments.

Davis calls for incentives, higher salaries for teachers
ARLINGTON – Sen. Wendy Davis laid out the first part of her education plan Thursday in her campaign for governor, proposing incentives for those who choose teaching as a career.
The Fort Worth Democrat did not have a price tag for her plan, but said she did not intend to propose a tax increase if elected.
"I do believe that education must be the No. 1 priority that we address as a state," said Davis, who had a roundtable discussion with administrators and educators at the University of Texas at Arlington.
"I, of course, am a living example of education providing an opportunity for a person who was able to achieve something in her life that wouldn't have been possible absent that," said Davis, who often talks about her journey from difficult times to graduating from Harvard law school.
Attorney General Greg Abbott, the Republican who is expected to get his party's nomination for governor, also has emphasized the importance of education and has held roundtables around the state on the issue. He has not yet laid out proposals in detail.
His spokesman Matt Hirsch accused Davis of "fuzzy math."
Her proposal includes guaranteeing that high school juniors in the top 20 percent of their class who commit to a teaching career would be guaranteed early acceptance to college, including the University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M along with a host of other schools. The students also would be guaranteed a job teaching in a Texas school when they have finished and become certified.
Among other points, Davis said she wants to enhance the state's main financial assistance program for prospective teachers. In addition, she said she wants to raise teacher salaries, which she said are $7,000 to $8,000 below the national average.
Davis, who is expected to be nominated by her party in the March Democratic primary, said she trusts the Legislature would partner with her if she is governor.
Davis has taken aim at Abbott, whose office is defending the state's public education finance system in court against legal action by school districts who say it falls short. Davis in 2011 filibustered to try to stop education cuts in the face of a predicted budget shortfall and was among lawmakers who worked to restore funding in the 2013 regular session.
Abbott spokesman, Hirsch, responded in an email: "Sen. Wendy Davis' proposals are more fuzzy math – a plan that will increase spending and impose more mandates on Texas universities without explaining how to pay for it. Greg Abbott believes in genuine local control of education: empowering parents, teachers, and principals to serve our students well. Greg Abbott has traveled and will continue to travel across Texas, meeting with educators to learn how he can achieve his goal to make our education system number one in the nation. He's boasted the benefits of competition in the classroom, digital learning, and having the involvement of both students and parents, in addition to the highest quality of teachers and principals, to help achieve this goal."

Architecture and Water
- Recently Added
- Most Appreciated
May be because we wanted to distinguish divisare from the web that is condemned to a sort of vertical communication, always with the newest architecture at the top of the page, as the "cover story," "the focus."
Content that was destined, just like the oh-so-new architecture that had just preceded it a few hours earlier, to rapidly slide down, day after day, lower and lower, in a vertical plunge towards the scrapheap of page 2.
So we began to build divisare not vertically, but horizontally.
Our model was the bookcase, on whose shelves we have gathered and continue to collect hundreds and hundreds of publications by theme. Every Collection in our Atlas tells a particular story, conveys a specific viewpoint from which to observe the last 20 years of contemporary architecture. A long, patient job of cataloguing, done by hand: image after image, project after project, post after post. Behind all this there is the certainty that we can do better than the fast, distracted web we know today, where the prevailing business model is: "you make money only if you manage to distract your readers from the contents of your own site." With divisare we want to offer the possibility, instead, of perceiving content without distractions. No "click me," "tweet me, "share me," "like me." No advertising. banners, pop—ups or other distracting noise.
It is a different idea of the web, which we might call slow web.
Instead of the fast, distracting web, we prefer a slow, careful one. Instead of information hastily received, we prefer knowledge calmly absorbed. This is why we love to publish books and encourage you to put down your device, grab a cup of coffee, and enjoy a high-quality read the old-fashioned way.

We tried. Lord knows we tried. But after more than 20 years spent in the transient, fleeting and contingent world of the internet no amount of pivoting or faking could squeeze a proudly independent online magazine into a conventional printed periodical.

Some Chefs Still Insisting That Photographing Meals Steals Some Of Their Intellectual Property
from the just-a-wafer-thin-mint-sir dept
While many chefs seem to simply think that foodies and patrons photographing their food is a sign of respect or just begrudgingly tolerate it, others seem to have succumbed to copyright maximalism disease, whereby one believes that you're allowed to "own" things you're clearly not entitled to. Despite the idea being rather groundless, it appears that it has recently caught on among a smattering of chefs overseas:
"Gilles Goujon, from the three-starred L'Auberge du vieux puits in the south of France, has stated in an interview with news website France TV that foodtography is not only poor etiquette but he believes that when his dishes appear online, it takes away "a little bit of my intellectual property". Another chef in La Madelaine-sous-Montreuil has also included a "no camera" policy on his menus for this reason."While kicking people out of your restaurant is certainly your prerogative (and there certainly are people who are so in love with their smartphone that dining with them is annoying), why would you want to punish paying customers for appreciating your work? The end result would likely hurt your brand long before it managed to protect any personal acumen in your stated craft. Other chefs lament that not only are you stealing their IP, you're doing a really crap job of it because you're probably a bad photographer:
"US chef RJ Cooper, from Rogue 24 in Washington DC, has made similar claims...: "They publish food photos without your consent, which is taking intellectual property away from the restaurant. And also, generally, the photographs are terrible. "If you're publishing something in a public forum without written consent, that's problematic."That seems about as logical to me as the superstition that taking photographs of an individual leeches away a tiny part of their soul. Just because I take a photo of your meal, does that mean I'm somehow magically also stealing what is probably a complicated recipe? So what you're saying essentially is you "own" the IP of laying several strips of beef just so and dribbling the entire concoction with sauce in a particular way? It's quite a bit of nonsense, and fortunately for patrons, no lawyer appears to have been interested in testing this theory, even if it's starting to seem like only a matter of time before one does.

It is common in Europe, as well as Cincinnati, Ohio and Manassas, Virginia. Cities from Austin to San Diego are about to launch the technology. But in New York City, there are only a few places where you can get Internet access from the same electrical outlet where you plug in your blender.
"Broadband over power lines" is what techies call it. It represents an intriguing juxtaposition of old and new technology. It is not only high-speed, but broadband over power lines may well be less expensive than DSL or cable Internet services.
But this widespread technology has not made any inroads in New York City. According to evidence presented at a recent hearing of the City Council's Committee on Technology in Government, residents of several Trump buildings and a condominium building on the Upper West Side are the only people currently making use of this alternative for obtaining Internet access.
An initial reason for the lack of enthusiasm for broadband over power lines, which is especially applicable to densely populated cities, was a tendency for the Internet signals to interfere with other communications streams. This could have negative effects on amateur radio operators, as well as first responders. To alleviate these concerns, the Federal Communications Commission established a first set of regulations for broadband over power lines in 2004 and a revised set of regulations in August 2006 .
Although the technological concerns are legitimate, by now they have been addressed. The more enduring reason for the slow penetration of this technology, in New York and elsewhere, is that utility companies do not want to get into the business of providing Internet access. This was already apparent in 2004 and was still true after the Committee on Technology in Government hearing a few months ago.
Broadband over power lines holds great promise for consumers in rural areas, because phone and cable companies usually do not find it economical to provide high speed Internet access to these areas. But metropolitan areas like New York have no trouble attracting these companies. If utilities could also be enticed to enter this market as well, hopefully prices would become more competitive.
New York City Context for Increasing Broadband Access
The continuing attention to broadband over power lines comes as city official prepare to convene the first ever meeting of a newly established Broadband Advisory Committee, which is charged by law to "review the ways and methods of using municipal resources to accelerate the build-out of current, emerging and any newly developed broadband technologies and other advanced telecommunications and information services, such as cable, digital subscriber line (DSL), broadband over power lines (BPL), any other wire-based methods, Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and any other wireless technologies, within the city of New York."
Gotham Gazette reported almost two years ago that the state of broadband access in New York City (and most of the United States) represents a market failure, in which prices are markedly higher than in other countries. When markets fail, smart governments carefully intervene. Perhaps a little dose of big government will spur the entrepreneurial zeal necessary to make broadband Internet accessible to more New Yorkers.

text: This afternoon I installed (from CD) scyld 27z-8 on a Pentium 4 2.2GHz. The installation was flawless, but upon reboot I encountered a "general protection fault". This fault occured in the boot sequence following the ide1 at .......... on irq 15. Before the line that _should_ have listed the hda disk geometry. I think this problem has something to do with the kernel not being able to probe the disk correctly? The hda disk is a 72K 40Gb Seagate disk. The machine also has a 120Gb Western Digital disk attached (should be hdb). My question can I resolve this problem using the append command in lilo to tell the kernel what disk geometry to expect? Has anyone else got scyld running on a similar P4 system? I can provide a complete set of hardware specs if this would be useful. Posting the complete boot sequence is difficult since the machine totally hangs after the fault although I can do this too.

Staten Island, NY – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, will be available for comments on the Elections both before and after Election Day, particularly as the elections affect the abortion issue, and also in reference to the Catholic vote and the role of the Church.Fr. Pavone and Priests for Life have been widely credited with having a strong influence in the Presidential elections of 2000 and 2004. With a vast media outreach and church activation effort, Priests for Life was named in 2006 among the top 20 Christian political organizations in the country ( www.thechurchreport.com ). After the 2000 elections, Judge William Clark, who served in President Reagan's cabinet, praised the efforts of Priests for Life for having "won the election." Deal Hudson, former chairman of Catholic Outreach at the Republican National Committee, writes in his recent book that Priests for Life is "the most successful Catholic political advocacy group in the nation" (Onward, Christian Soldiers, p. 147). See www.PoliticalResponsibility.com for the election website of Priests for Life.Fr. Pavone will draw upon his 15 years of pro-life leadership to offer his perspective on the 2008 elections and their impact on the future of the battle to end abortion in America.To reach Fr. Pavone for comments or an interview, please contact Jerry Horn at the number above.
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org.

Haier W910 – Specs Review: Qualcomm MSM8260A 4.5-inch Dual Core Android 4.0 ICS
This Haier W910 is alleged as the King of Dual Core China phones, if barely compared to most dual-core MT6577 China phones. Let's take a deeper check on this Qualcomm-based MSM8260A type dual-core Android 4.0 ICS phone and why it is called as the King of Dual Core Android phone.
The Haier W910 or Haier HW W910 sports a different chipset compared to the other featured dual-core phones we saw here which has MT6577 chipset. The Haier W910 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260A dual core CPU, clocked at 1.5GHz. Matched with it is a Qualcomm Adreno225 GPU. It runs with Android 4.0 ICS out of the box.
What I just know about the Android devices with Qualcomm CPU comes with a more expensive price as compared with those MediaTek based devices. Looking into benchmark tests performance scores, while the MT6577 dual-core only scored a standard of 5000, this Haier W910 reportedly soared with its 7000 standard score with Antutu.
This Haier W910 has a 4.5-inches IPS LCD screen with an HD resolution of 720×1280 pixels. Pretty much one of the devices that tops the 4.x-inch bracket in terms of display quality. HD display and IPS, what else your eyes will want on a 4.5″ screen like that?
Haier HW W910 Specs and Features
Here's a list of the Haier W910 specs and some of its features:
Name: Haier W910
- CPU: Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8260A Dual Core 1.5GHz
- GPU: Qualcomm Adreno225
- OS: Android 4.0 ICS
- 720 x 1280 pixels
- 16M Colors (TBD)
- Capacitive Multi Touch Screen
- Dual Sim
- supports W+G / G+G
- 2G:GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
- 3G:WCDMA/HSPA/HSPA+: 2100MHz
Color: Black
GPS: Built In GPS & A.GPS
- Bluetooth with EDR & A2DP
- Wi-Fi : IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, supports Wi-Fi hotspot
- micro USB 2.0
- Dual Camera
- Back: 8.0 mega pixel / Auto Focus
- Front: 1.3 mega pixel, supports Skype Video Calls

Other features: G-sensor, P-Sensor, L-Sensor, FM radio, Wifi, GPS, Multi-touch, Dual SIM, Schedule Power on/off, Missed Calls Notification LED
Battery: 1760mAh Li-on Battery
Haier W910 Pictures
Here are some more photos of the Haier W910, so you can get a better feel of its physical beauty:
Above is the Haier W910 in certain views. As you can see, the Haier W910 has an elegant design and beautiful finish. Over all design makes it certainly a premium phone.
Not just the surface, the overall body is slim and even the side design is well slated.
If you notice, there isnt any physical of soft-touch buttons on front. Reminds me of tablets with those Android ICS buttons imparted on the 4.5-inch display screen.
With the impressive display and overall specs performance capability, no wonder this phone will be your perfect HD gaming and multimedia entertainment companion.
The Haier W910 definitely looks beautiful.
I cant think of any reason why you shouldnt get this Haier W910 dual-core phone. The specs is impressive, and its overall physical composition is another plus to consider. Now, it is really hard to choose. This one is already available on stocks, but what might held you back is the fact that you just need to add only some few tens of bucks and you have the quad-core Xiaomi Mi 2 phone.
Personally, I can wait for the Xiaomi Mi 2. But this one looks kinda tempting as well. The overall specs is impressive already except for the only downside I can see is; its battery rating capacity. It is just too low compared to the newer devices being released nowadays.

The RFID Workshop of SEKE 2009 will be held at Hyatt Harborside at Logan Int'l Airport, Boston, USA, July 2, 2009. The hotel's website is at: http://harborside.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp

"The competitive battles of the future will be won and lost in the supply, manufacturing and distribution networks, not in the front office, by companies that are highly adaptive and relentlessly efficient - all in real time." ñ Dr. Hau Lee, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University.
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is the newest technology businesses use to track inventory and assets from the warehouse, manage inventory and watch over manufacturing and distribution networks. Today, many companies including Wal-Mart, Metro Group and Target have established compliance standards requiring vendors to adopt RFID. Military organizations, such as the United States Department of Defense (DoD), have also accelerated the adoption rate of RFID by requiring their suppliers to use RFID technology. Presently, these mandates and regulations that set the infrastructure for RFID have had an impact on over 700,000 companies.
RFID technology continues to expand into new markets including tracking, logistics, counterfeit protection, supply chain management, airport luggage, health care and silent commerce. As the RFID revolution gains momentum, large amounts of capital flow into this sector to facilitate greater commercial success for RFID technology. The largest, anticipated use of RFID technology within the next ten years is in tags used to track the movement of consumer product goods from the manufacturer to the point of sale. In 2008, it is estimated that about $4 billion worth of RFID tags, readers, hardware and software will be bought worldwide by various user organizations, to tag trillions of dollars worth of items.
In this One-Day RFID workshop attendees will be exposed to various aspects of RFID technology, including basic RFID concepts, practical applications for RFID, EPCglobal protocol standards, the role of commercial RFID Middleware and the manageability of an RFID system. Through carefully designed course modules, attendees will learn essential information from practical examples that are kept short and simple to best illustrate this emerging technology.

Helvey′s films are characterized by a passion for social justice along with powerful story telling. His projects include National Geographic and BBC1 documentaries, as well as independent fictional films, and he has worked in countries such as El Salvador, China, Kenya and England.
The filmmaker′s other award-winning documentary is Overexposed, which examines how pornography affects men.
Helvey received an M.F.A in film production from the University of Southern California′s School of Cinematic Arts, and bachelor of arts degrees in English and French from the University of Virginia.

I knew for instance that he was a Revisionist in Zionism, that lie was regarded as having unorthodox views on econdinics. Besides that, his Sphinxian hte intrigued me. Perhaps I shouldn't eimracterizc his face as Sphinxian. It looked more like the face say of Chang Tso Lin—or a gentleman who you might espL'ct to be called something like that.

One has to be careful of such faces, God and Economics IJrining's face, as I have indicated, had a .somewhat similar effect on me. I was attracted and. at the same time repelled by it. But here I was sitting beside Hrining, It was "easier under the cir cuin.stanccs to start a conversation than to sit silent. "Did you hear, Mir, Brining," I said, "the story thqy tell me about a Jewish .teacher of economics at City College? This professor believed in relating his te-icliings to the pressing problems of the day. At the semester examlnatiotis last December, he put only one question to his economic students; 'What is the cause of the present depression?' "And one of the pupils wrote: 'God knows, I don't. Merry Christmas.' "Some days later, the student got his examination paper back and on it was written over the professor's signature: 'God get sa hundred. You get zero. Happy New Year.'" What—No Ha-Ha! As I finished the joke, I said Ha-ha, ami waited for Brining to ha-ha. .But lie refused to ha-ha. 'Instead lie grunted: "The professor was i-ight, God knows." "Well," I replied, "I suppose He does, hut it seems He's keeping it to Him¬ self.". ._ "J^oV'Tie said, "He isn't fteepirig it to himself. He wrote it long ago in the Bihle." "So?" I said, and sipped another spoon¬ ful of coffee. Depressions Brining looked at me. "What do you think is the cause and cure of the. de¬ pression?" "Well," 1 replied—"Karl.

You are a Jew—why do; you have to go to Mai X, when you have such an economist as Moses to guide you?" Moses As Economist "What is there of the economics of Moses?" I replied, "that is applicable to our present economic dilemma?" "Did you ever read the Biblical in juiKtion," retorted Brining, "'Thou shalt not remove any neighbor's landmark'? "Did you ever read the passage in Isai..h: 'Woe unto those who join land to !:md anti field to field'? ''Did you ever read in the Bible, 'The earth is the Lord's and the fullness then of?"

They were cvai fioodjFin much later days, They wtTc for "instance very important for a fiinl'il system.

U.s and presented personal checks in lieu of checks to witness the production. The presentation will be repeated again Saturday night at 8:15. Abner Markell as Harry Domin, gen¬ eral manager of R.

Martin Rubin and Max Stern, playing the parts of Alquist and Consul Busman respectively, ¦were espe¬ cially good, Rubin sparkled in the epi- Ipguc where the portrayal of the nerv- our,, almost hysterical human called for adroitness. Harry Lowenthal and Elaine Sabad as the two robots who find them¬ selves mutually attracted and insure the future of the human race, brought about their transformation from machines to humans in a very realistic manner, and the audience liked it well. ;Bess Marks as the jabbering pessi¬ mistic maid, Nftha, brought the house down with her so-called "line."

The reading of the Book of Esther from a parchment scroll on that day and on the preceding evening constitutes the principal feature in the synagogue service. The feast recalls the deliverance of the Jews of Persia thru the intervention of Queen Esther and her kinsman, ' Mordecai, from a threatened massacre planned by Haman, the King's vizier. In the words of the Book of Esther it commemorates "the days .where¬ in the Jews had rest from their enemies, and the month which was turned unto them from sorrow to gladness and from mourning into a good day." It was de¬ creed that the day be observed in a joy¬ ous spirit that finds expression, in send¬ ing portions to one another and gifts to the pdor. The feast bears the name of "Purim" because it is recorded that Haman, the arch'enemy of the Jews.^ought to fix the day of their destruction by casting "Purim," which, according to a popular etymology given in the Book of Esther, means "lots," The feast is more social than religious,. It does not require ces¬ sation from labor or any special religious ceremony other than the reading .of the Book of Esther and the reciting of a few special prayers inspired by the event com¬ memorated. In former times the celebration, in some places, partook of the nature of a carnival. At present the story of the Book of Esther is frequently presented in dramatized form. The injunction to remember the poor was and is observed faithfully. During tl\e centuries of per- sefcution, the feast of Piirim was quite popular, .due, perhaps, to the fact that the story of delivierance ^rom the plot- tings of the tyrants, which the day re- .callaV-hcougbt.hope. of-a. similar, deliv¬ erance from the evil designs of existing Hamaus.

The American people arc lining up behind their newly-elected President in a spirit of loyalty, faithfulness an(I a lofty patriotism. They realize that he , is confronted' with the gravest problems which have ever arisen on the horizon of American history. They have been con¬ vinced of Roosevelt's high-mindedness and of his earnest desire and grim de¬ termination to straighten out America's tangled affairs. As he declared in his inaugural.address, "this is preeminently the time to speak the truth, frankly and boldly." He asserted that it was his conviction that his fellow-citizens "de¬ mand action and action now." He has in the past few days already proved that he means every word he uttered in his , beautiful . address. He is' forgetting party lines and cleavages and is pros¬ ecuting his duties as chief executive of tlK United States with a zeal and a self- ¦ abnegation rarely seen in the White House. I honestly believe that Franklin D. Roosevelt is the man of the hour, the man upon whom Divine Providence has placed the mantle of leadership in this time of storm and stress. He is tackling the critical economic problems' oJ our land in a most heroic as well as states-, manlike fashion. He is demonstrating that he has a remarkably original mind and a tremondous capacity for work.. He is dedicating himself to the task assigned to him without thought of personal ag- . grandizement or party considerations. He wants to be, in spirit ahd in truth, the president of all the people of this great land. The manner in which he has been pursuing his duties from the mo¬ ment of his inauguration up until the present day proves conclusively that we now have a real leader in Washington— a champion and apostle of righteousness, a great gladiator in the cause of justice and democracy. May the Universal Father guide and bless this peerless servant of the American people so that he may continue his self-saprifijdncr.... ^.^ labors for the weal of all our- people. On Feb. 2Cth at Carnegie llall. New' Yprk City, before a great concourse of people, outstanding representatives of three faiths described the menace of Hit¬ lerism in Germany. Martin Conboy, noted Catholic lay leader, denounced the ideals of Adolf Hitler in no uncertain terms and declared that they violated every Christian virtue. "Happily," continued Mr. Conboy, "this meeting is not called for the pur¬ pose of denouncing a pogrom. It is, however, intended to call the 'attention 01 the American people to some of the re¬ cent developments affecting the Jews of Germany. There is enough ¦in the dec¬ larations made by the Hitler party to call for emphatic protest. There,is not much to be said for the policy that would spare a man's life while taking from him all that makes living worth¬ while. Make a man an alien in his own land, deprive him of equal civil and re¬ ligious rights with his neighbors, shut him out of all opportunities to employ liis abilities for his own, his family's, or his country's benefit and what special advantage is there in being spared even a violent death? "There is not a people under heaven that has ever accepted that dispensation, not one that has tolerated its continu¬ ance beyond the hour when it could be ended. Even if one generation submits. tbe next one will go into rebellion and the process will be repeated as long as the evil endures.. The announced inten¬ tion to reduce the Jews of Germ,iny to a servile condition is what constitutes a real menace, as we in America see it. "In any .negotiations with Hitler's party, the limit is reached when the Chancellor proposes to adhere to that plank in his party's program which would give to the government the right to decide whether a religious group shall be accorded leave to exist," Mr. Conboy recounted the history of the formation of the Centrist party in Germany which is an outgrowth of the anti-Roman Catholic policy of Bismarck; concluding "the Centrist party in Ger¬ many is today a rock behind which Jews can find shelter." Bernard S. Deutsch, president of the .'\nierican Jewish Congress, in his re¬ marks denounced what he termed a re¬ vival of niedievalism in twentieth cen¬ tury Germany. He said that Hitler's policies threatene*! to submerge all that is most precious in civilization. Representing the Protestant Churches nf greater New York, Dr. S. Parlces Cadniaii made an impassioneil plea for justice. He asserted that Hitlerism is IS condemnatory in certain aspects as is Japan's aggressive forage upon China.

This document describes techniques that may be used by software programs in evaluating the conformance of HTML documents to The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0. It also describes methods that may be used in software programs for modifying HTML documents so that they conform to these guidelines.
This is a W3C Working Draft for review by the Evaluation and Repair Tools Working Group and other invited parties. It has not been reviewed by the WAI Interest Group. It is a draft document and may be updated, replaced, or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to use W3C Working Drafts as reference material or to cite them as other than "work in progress". A list of current W3C Recommendations and other technical documents can be found at http://www.w3.org/TR.
Please send comments on this document to email@example.com.
The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) has produced a foundation document, The WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 1.0), that describes what must be done to make a Web page accessible to all. Tools are needed to help authors determine if a web site is accessible to everyone and to help repair it if it is not.
This document builds on the WCAG 1.0 foundation by outlining techniques that evaluation and repair tools may use to uncover accessibility problems and possibly repair them. These techniques may be used by those who create web authoring tools or by anyone interested in creating accessible Web documents.
It is important that people with disabilities are included in the "anyone interested in creating accessible Web content." Creating accessible Web content is as important as accessing Web content. Therefore, evaluation and repair tools themselves need to be accessible to people with disabilities. However, this document does not describe how to make the user interface accessible. Please refer to the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 for information on making the user interface accessible.
Many people using evaluation and repair tools may be new to the Web and will not be familiar with the various markup languages that are used. Many others will not know about Web accessibility. Tools should be intuitive and easy to use and available at a minimal cost. Tools should not generate excessive warnings or false positive accessibility errors.
Some of the web-content accessibility checkpoints cannot be checked successfully by software algorithms alone. There will still be a dependence on the user's ability to use common sense to determine conformance to the guidelines. It is imperative that any tool have features that assist in reminding, without nagging; in helping, without demeaning; in suggesting, without demanding. We hope that the techniques in this document, implemented in software programs, will gently guide authors along the path to more accessible documents.
This document is based on The WAI Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. It examines each checkpoint in the guidelines and provides one or more techniques for the implementation of that checkpoint. Each implementation technique contains the following items:

Note that if any one of the five BODY color elements are set, all should be set, so the settings don't interact unfortunately with a user's custom defaults.
Color visibility can be determined according to the following algorithm:
(This is a suggested algorithm that is still open to change.)
Two colors provide good color visibility if the brightness difference and the color difference between the two colors are greater than a set range.
Color brightness is determined by the following formula:
((Red value X 299) + (Green value X 587) + (Blue value X 114)) / 1000
Note: This algorithm is taken from a formula for converting RGB values to YIQ values. This brightness value gives a perceived brightness for a color.
Color difference is determined by the following formula:
(maximum (Red value 1, Red value 2) - minimum (Red value 1, Red value 2)) + (maximum (Green value 1, Green value 2) - minimum (Green value 1, Green value 2)) + (maximum (Blue value 1, Blue value 2) - minimum (Blue value 1, Blue value 2))

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — The dollar fell against the yen Friday after the employment report showed the U.S. added fewer jobs in March than had been expected, prompting some traders to delay expectations for when the Federal Reserve could hike rates.
The U.S. created 192,000 jobs last month and the unemployment rate remained at 6.7%, according to Labor Department data. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected gains of 200,000 jobs. The report revised higher employment gains for February and January by 37,000 jobs in total.
The dollar USDJPY, -0.21% fell to ¥103.25 from ¥103.93 late Thursday, moving in step with a drop in the benchmark 10-year Treasury US:10_YEAR yield.
The report was "not so strong to stoke fears that the Fed will accelerate the normalization of policy," said Richard Franulovich, chief currency strategist for the northern hemisphere at Westpac Banking Corp.
Positive economic data support the Federal Reserve's current plan to remove its stimulative bond purchases, which were cut by another $10 billion at its March meeting. The bond buys are on track to come to a close by year-end, setting up speculation about when the Fed could hike rates, which would boost the dollar. Expectations for the first rate hike were pushed out by a meeting in the wake of the jobs report.
Still, the data were consistent with a recovering economy, analysts said. The participation rate rose to its highest level since September and every industry except manufacturing added jobs in March.
"We did see fairly decent job growth," said Aroop Chatterjee, a foreign-exchange strategist at Barclays. In general, data early this year suggested the job-market gains had been weighed down by harsh winter weather. "These distortions have faded and we're going back to the trend we saw in the latter part of 2013," he said.
The euro EURUSD, -0.4314% fell to $1.3701 from $1.3719 late Thursday, marking the lowest level since Feb. 26, according to FactSet. The euro had dropped below $1.37 after a German newspaper reported the European Central Bank had modeled one trillion euros of bond purchases. ECB Vice President Vitor Constancio reportedly said Friday there was no discussion of how exactly quantitative easing could be implemented.
ECB President Mario Draghi said Thursday officials had talked about quantitative easing, adding to expectations that the central bank could take unconventional steps to battle falling inflation.
"The bottom line is, as of yesterday, Draghi made very clear that quantitative easing is a policy option for the ECB. That's effectively breaking a taboo," said Franulovich. The euro could fall as low as $1.35 in the coming weeks, he added.
The ICE dollar index DXY, +0.34% which pits the greenback against six rivals, edged down to 80.432 from 80.454 late Thursday. The WSJ Dollar Index BUXX, +0.30% an alternate gauge of dollar strength, fell to 73.48 from 73.66.
The British pound GBPUSD, -0.5689% fell to $1.6579 from $1.6599 in the prior session. The Australian dollar AUDUSD, -0.6920% rose to 92.87 U.S. cents from 92.32 U.S. cents.

Libya: At least two dead in Tripoli blasts
At least two people were killed and several others injured in two explosions that rocked Sunday dawn the center of the Libyan capital, a security source conveyed. "Two explosions occurred at dawn. Near the Military Academy of Omar al-Mukhtar and the second near the Ministry of the Interior. There have been at least two deaths and injuries" the source said on condition of anonymity.
This is the first such attack in Tripoli since the fall of Muammar Gaddafi's regime late 2011.
At 6:00 local time (4:00 GMT), Omar al-Mokhtar Avenue, at the heart of the capital, was closed to traffic, while checkpoints have been installed on the main streets of Tripoli.
The blasts whose origin remains unknown occured on the first day of Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

Archbishop Curley has had the edge over the Crusaders for a while, having won six straight meetings dating back to 2004. Last season, the Friars ran all over St. Paul's en route to a lopsided victory, but by winning their three non-league games by an average of 37 points, the Crusaders have served notice that things might be different this time around.
The Crusaders, who return eight players on both sides of the ball from last season's 5-4 team, are looking to make a big move in the Maryland Interscholastic Athletic Association B Conference. They have a solid running game led by Harris, who has averaged 176 yards rushing in the first three games, and a strong offensive line.
"St. Paul's is very good at running the football," Murphy said. "Their line is very good and I think their defense is fast and athletic. They've played more finesse teams that like to throw the football, so we're totally different than what they've seen. I think this is going to be a big game for them. They're all hyped up for it. We beat them good last year and the last time St. Paul's beat us was '03, so chances are those numbers will catch up with you eventually, but I think our team is focused this week."
The Friars started off with three straight wins and then stumbled a bit defensively in their B Conference opener last week, falling 34-29 to St. Mary's, another strong contender. Murphy said the Friars are determined to play better on defense this week against a Crusaders offense that starts with the run but has the ability to break big plays.
Curley's offense is almost exclusively a grind-it-out running game. Although D'Avanzo leads the way, Murphy can use up to six running backs. Four have at least 16 carries. They also have depth on the offensive line.
"They're always a big, physical team," Bernstorf said. "They run the ball so well. I think they probably set the state record against us a few years ago, rushing for 500 yards or something. They're very physical, very aggressive and they come right after you."
While the Friars try to bounce back from last week's poor defensive showing, the Crusaders have had to refocus after a bye week. They also went several days without practice as the school sponsored hiking, biking and canoeing trips.
Both teams, however, have plenty of motivation with a B Conference that looks even more competitive this season. While Curley heads into the game with recent history on its side, the Crusaders played a tougher first three games, with lopsided wins over Perry Hall and North Harford.
"They're going to come in really confident and we have to prove ourselves against them," Bernstorf said. "The key in any Curley game is who wins the line of scrimmage."
