Losses mount and deadly new threats converge in this next action-packed tale of the Arcana Chronicles by #1 New York Times bestseller Kresley Cole.
When the battle is done...
The Emperor unleashed hell and annihilated an army, jeopardizing the future of mankind - but Circe struck back. The epic clash between them devastates the Arcana world and nearly kills Evie, separating her from her allies.
And all hope is lost...
With Aric missing and no sign that Jack and Selena escaped Richter's reach, Evie turns more and more to the darkness lurking inside her. Two Arcana emerge as game changers: one who could be her salvation, the other her worst nightmare.
Vengeance becomes everything.
To take on Richter, Evie must reunite with Death and mend their broken bond. But as she learns more about her role in the future - and her chilling past - will she become a monster like the Emperor? Or can Evie and her allies rise up from Richter's ashes, stronger than ever before?

I was a book junkie, now I'm a audio junkie. I love all fiction from Romance to post Apocalyptic.
"Felt incomplete."
Wow... So I love this series and was so excited when Arcana Rising came out on audio.
For me this was a weak entry in the Arcana series. It felt like it was story filler but there was no real action and drama as in the previous books.
This book was mostly Evie's angsty feelings about her two loves. It just lacked the grit of previous books.
I remember thinking at a point where the book said it had 34 min remaining "how can there only be 34 min? It feels like this could only be the halfway point in the book. So wow to my surprise there was really only about 10 more min in the story with the other 24 min being a excerpt from Day Zero. Ms Cole just stuck a cliff hanger in there and that was it.
Overall I'm disappointed in the entry to the series. It should have been like a book 3.5 rather than 4. If you've ever read series that do that 3, 3.5, 4 type of thing then you will know what I mean. That's about how much story you feel like you got out of this despite its length.
I will of course buy whatever Kresley Cole publishes and I hope that the next book delivers as the first 3 did.
"Loved It!"
I have read the actual book a couple of times and have been checking every other day to see if the audio book had been published.
I, of course, love everything Kresley Cole writes and have even read the books that aren't on Audible.
I love the Arcana series and can hardly wait for the next installment.
You won't be disappointed with this book!
"Love this series!"
Love the story, the series and the narrator. Can't wait for the next book! One of the my favorite series!
I am a fun loving mom that enjoys a great Book!! I'm happy to have Audible with a busy life it makes it so easy to still get lost in a book!
"This series is AMAZING!!!"
This series is AMAZING!!! I HAVE listened to EVERY SINGLE ONE & I can't wait for the next one!! GREAT JOB TO EMMA GALVIN & KRESLEY COLE!!!
"Haven't Listened to more than one chapter"
Yes, because I know Emma is excellent for this series.
Jack will always be my favorite character. He ads something to this series that was sadly lacking in this book because he wasn't there (*wink, wink*). I fell even harder for Jack in Cole's Day Zero novella.
Yes, I'm sure its the same as all her other fantastic narrations of this series.
It probably will be once I finish listening to it. I'm a die hard arcana fan, so, I ended up reading the book instead of waiting for it to come out on audible. The suspense was killing me, and so, I was too impatient to wait for Cole to get things together with audible before finding out what happened next in this series. I also read the Day Zero novella for the same reason. It would be cool to see a narration of Day Zero with different narrators doing different characters, but I don't think Cole has that in the works....
Regardless, you can still appreciate this book without reading the Day Zero novella. But, I do feel like Day Zero gave more depth and understanding to the different characters. When certain new characters came into play in this book, I already knew where they were coming from and understood them on a different level than readers who hadn't read Day Zero would.
This book is pretty good, but my favorites are the first two books. Thats why I gave the story line four out of five stars. This book seems stretched thin so that this series would create four books instead of three as Cole had originally intended for this series. I learned only a few additional things about this series that I didn't know before reading it. The rest, while interesting seemed like filler to stretch the story out in my opinion. There were no more crazy babblings from the fool, or Jack's cajun French, and reckless ruggedness, which is what made the first two books interesting in my opinion. There was also less action or scary parts. Still, this book sets a darker tone/ outlook on the games, and gives good build up for the next book (the last book installment in this series).
I liked Evie's character in the beginning of this book. She was so edgy and bad ass, but then, she became super soft like puddy once she met up with death again. I know she's a sweet Southern girl and everything, but at times, she was so soft, she bordered on stupid. Then, there was her and death's relationship, which seemed forced at times. Perhaps there is a reason for that though, or maybe, its because I'm a die hard Jack fan that I couldn't get into their romance. All in all, I still hold out hope for Jack and Evie to be together again in the end. After all, she chose him at the end of the last book, not Death.
Theories: (Spoiler ALERT: I think that 1. Evie and Death will have their child, and the game will end because things will be balanced between life and death. 2. Death will sacrifice himself to end the game so that Evie can survive with his child, and she can live happily together with Jack. Or, 3. Evie will miscarry because, he's death after all. I think people forget that. How can death ever give life? Even if he's with life, his life can only mean death because he's death.- lol.
On the cajun side of things, Jack has to be the hanged man. I mean, at this point in the story, its the only thing that makes logical sense. I'll be very surprised, if not disappointed if he's not. Especially, after reading Day Zero. And especially since Jack made the decision to go incognito in this book, and in past games, Death said he never faced nor learned who the hanged man was. Also, since the beginning, Jack has constantly come between Death and Life. I don't think thats a coincidence. Cole has constantly played with this idea of something "hanging" between life and death (pun intended). Even when Jack became incognito, Evie became pregnant, thereby creating something else that dangles between Death and Life. I just wonder why a child has come into play when there is already an arcana character in place to "dangle" between Evie and Aric?
Regardless, between Jack and Death, Evie will probably be safe until the game ends. Jack will do everything out in the Arcana battle field to secretly keep Evie safe (he loves her), and Death will do everything to guard pregnant Evie from other Arcana from inside his stronghold. Only time will tell though. End of Spoiler).
My theories are just that, theories. Cole isn't one of my favorite authors for nothing. Somehow, she still manages to surprise the hell out of her readers. I know I've been critical in this review, but its only because I've had the pleasure of devouring some of Cole's more masterful pieces of literature, and know what she's truly capable of. I've read everything Cole has ever written, and each book provides something new. She's incredible, even masterful at writing a series, so, happy reading everyone. Cole likes to pitch opposites against each other, then bring them together, and she also likes to put destined female and male leads together. Death is Evie's second choice when it comes to everything romantic, and I don't think he's going to win out in the end considering other books of Cole's that I've read. Somehow though, Cole will end this book so both team death and team Jack readers will love how this series ends.
This book is a lovely addition to the series, and soon, we'll all marvel at Cole's ending (this spring with her final arcana book).
Hello, my name is Teresa and I'm an addict.
"What! Wait, I need more!!!!!"
I wish I would have reread this series before starting this book. There is so much that happens in the previous book that I have forgotten, that I am now kicking myself for not listening to them all over again. I have kept notes on all 22 Tarot cards and who is who, I will share them with those others that wish they would have. I did like how this book reiterated all the major arcana's again in this book. Pardon misspelled names.
0. The Fool/ Game Keeper of Old - Matthew
1. The Magician/ Master of Illusions - Finnegan
2. The High Priestess/ Ruler of the Deep/Water Witch - Cerci
3. The Empress/ Our Lady of Thorns - Evie
4. The Emperor/ Stone Overlord - Richter
5. The Hierophant/ He of the Dark Rights - Guthrie
6. The Lovers/ Duke and Duchess most Perverse - Vincent & Violet
7. The Chariot/ Wicked Champion/ Centurion - Kentark
8. Strength/ Mistress of Fauna - Lark
9. The Hermit/ Master of Alchemy - Arthur
10. Wheel of Fortune/ Lady Luck - Zara
11. Justice/ She who Harrows/ The Fury - Spite
12. The Hanged Man/ Our Lord Uncanny - ? (we all have our suspicions who this is)
13. Death/ The Endless Knight - Arik
14. Temperance/ Collector of Sins - Calanthy
15. The Devil/ Foul Desecrator - Oran
16. The Tower/ Lord of Lightning - Jules
17. The Star/ Arcane Navigator - Unknown name
18. The Moon/ Bringer of Doubt - Selina
19. The Sun/ Hail the Glorious Illuminator - El Sol
20. Judgement/ The Archangel - Gabriel
21. The world/ This Unearthly one - Tess
And then to find out the minor tarot cards are also people. For a young adult book, I am again surprised that there are sex scenes in the series. Not that it bothers me, it is just surprising. I still reeling at the direction this book took, not what I expected. I love this series and can't wait for the next installment. I feel there will be a twist when it comes to Death in books to come, and of course this book left off with some really big questions. Narrator is awesome as usual and I would be willing to read any of her readings. Ending is at 8:20ish and there is an excerpt from Cerci's story.
"Good but not great..."
Really I did like this book but I felt it was rather short and left much to be desired with all the loose ends add into the ending. Ready for the next I guess.
"the narrator is absolutely awful"
I would have absolutely love to finish this book. The story is very good and I'm interested in it but listening to this narrator has made it just about impossible. I've actually had to stop the story early. The way she puts emphasis at the end of every single sentence in almost the exact same way is so redundant in tone that it is ridiculous
"Talk about a cliff hanger!"
This is such an enthralling series. I loved every minute and Emma Galvin is such a great narrator. now hurry up with the next book!
I LOVE THIS BOOK!!!! IT'S SO DUMB AND GOOD!!!! I own all in print, and listen through all of them every other month. I cant get enough. it's so dumb. I love it so much. The characters are so good. The narrator is so good. I make everyone I can read this so that I can discuss theories. I love it. This is so dumb. I think about it all of the time. So dumb. So good. I love it
"Totally recommended it!"
Emma Galvin has delivered again a great narration to an amazing story. It was worth every penny.
"can't wait for the next book already!"
loved it, didn't want to stop listening. another great book in the series. can't wait to read day zero

Door 25 in the 2010 advent calendar
Posted by Emily Lakdawalla
Topics: Enceladus, pretty pictures, Cassini, Saturn's moons
Time to open the twenty-fifth door in the advent calendar. Until the New Year, I'll be opening a door onto a different landscape from somewhere in the solar system. Where in the solar system are these conjoined craters?
For Christmas day, another image from the mission that keeps on giving -- Cassini -- from the moon that keeps on giving -- Enceladus. This view shows the "other end" of Enceladus, the one that's not spewing out plumes, the end that's seen little enough geologic activity to have a fair number of craters covering it. But the craters have these domed-up floors and hashed rims that indicate there's interesting things going on underfoot! This was also the side of Enceladus that the Voyager mission best revealed, including this funky pair of conjoined craters named for Ali Baba and Aladdin. Cassini snapped this photo down onto Enceladus' northern polar cratered terrain on March 12, 2008 from a distance of 32,000 kilometers.

Web Application Toolkit: Template-Driven Emails
Download this episode
This Web Application Toolkit is designed to demonstrate how to generate and send dynamic, template-based emails from a web application. There are many common scenarios where notification emails need to be sent to end users. Examples of these common scenarios may involve notifying a user of their newly created account, sending a new password in respond to a forgotten password request, or emailing an alert under specific business circumstances, such as the creation of a order. Typically the E-mails sent from a Web application scenario are formatted as HTML, include CSS stylesheets, and images and need to be generated dynamically with custom or user-specific data.
This Web Application Toolkit provides a reusable component named TemplateDrivenEmail that can be used to easily generate and send dynamic, HTML-formatted emails based on templates that you can easily create and customize. The TemplateDrivenEmail component is a .NET Class Library that can easily be included in your solution and used with an ASP.NET Web Application, a background application such as a Windows Service, or any other type of .NET application. The email templates are based on a standard XML technology know as Extensible Stylesheet Language. This Web Application Toolkit also includes an example that shows how to use the TemplateDrivenEmail component.Download this toolkit here.

Demand for Zero-Day Flaws Drives Bug Bounties to Exceed $1 Million
The Zerodium deal shows that market demand will readily support zero-day exploit code bounties of $1 million or more, security experts say.On Nov. 1, Zerodium announced that it had agreed to pay $1 million for code that exploited a collection of bugs in Apple's iOS to fully compromise a device running the mobile operating system. With typical bug bounty awards ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of dollars—and only a smattering of past deals paying more than $100,000 for vulnerabilities and exploits—the $1 million reward seemed to be an order of magnitude jump in the price paid for code that provides the ability to attack a software platform. Yet, security experts have stressed that such a price tag is not unheard of in the world of gray-market deals for exploits, and that the need for governments to be able to compromise targeted devices is likely behind the massive payout. "You are going to pay the money, because you need the exploit right now," said Adriel Desautels, CEO of Netragard, and a former exploit broker. "So the price is driven by need, the scarcity, and the timing—how soon they need it."
Zerodium, spun off from offensive security firm Vupen, is a startup that focuses on creating bounties—not to fix bugs—but to sell exploit code for previously unreported vulnerabilities to third parties.

text: 2. Resolving tax and superannuation disputes At a glance Most dealings with the ATO do not end up in a dispute. Our strategies aimed at minimising disputes include providing tools and advice, such as e-tax and pre-filling information in tax returns, to make it as easy as possible for taxpayers to get it right. Early engagement of our specialist law experts is another strategy to minimise disputes. In 2011-12, we reassigned about 150 specialist law experts to technical leadership roles across ATO business lines. As part of this workforce shift, our technical experts assist our staff in anticipating and/or resolving complex disputes as early as possible across all aspects of our work.

When the obscenity-spewing, heroin-snorting, yet compulsively likable grandfather unexpectedly meets an unfortunate end at about the halfway mark in directors Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris' new film Little Miss Sunshine, it really sinks in: this is a comedy that isn't kidding around. At least not completely. It is, however, remarkably effective at generating an authentic sense of warm, fuzzy closeness that the family, in the abstract, is often idealized as possessing.
As is so common in film, our conceptions of the characters reach their fullest expression only in the end. Patriarch Richard (Greg Kinnear) may not, after all, reach fame and fortune with his embarrassingly impassioned "9-Step Program" for becoming a "winner" in all things worldly, but at least he has his wife (Toni Collette) who just might be getting over her nasty smoking habit, and button-cute daughter (Abigail Breslin), around whose beauty-queen aspirations the film's loopy, digressive plot revolves.
Unfortunately for this improbably neurotic cast of characters, the pageant is in Redondo Beach, California, and their home lies in Albuquerque, several hundred miles away. Faster than you can say "what a wonderful excuse for family bonding through heartwarmingly ridiculous episodic encounters with perfect strangers!" — the clan is off on a multi-state adventure of… memorable proportions.
Along for the ride for moral support — and, oh yes, because his recent suicide attempt necessitates constant supervision — is Steve Carell as studiously impassive yet startlingly vulnerable Uncle Frank, who, as he is so fond of saying, is "the nation's foremost Proust scholar." Though perhaps not so much since he fell for a male graduate student and was summarily dismissed from his professorship. It's a role miles away in terms of complexity — and, arguably, of quality — from Mr. Carell's last one in The 40 Year Old Virgin.
All of this is revealed over a pointedly uncomfortable dinner conversation that also, as it happens, constitutes the audience's introduction to son Dwayne (Paul Dano), Nietzsche devotee and brooding would-be fighter pilot, and Grandpa (Alan Arkin), sage curmudgeon and doting supporter of Abigail's outsized ambitions.
As commanders of this motley crew, parents Kinnear and Collette must rally the group's spirits as delays and tensions, from an unaccommodating grief counselor to an unconscionably awkward run-in with the former object of Frank's affections, mount. Their mode of transport, a failing VW bus whose quirks make it a character in itself, hardly makes things easier — though there's certainly a peculiar kind of intimacy that comes from having to team up to push the vehicle up to launch speed (the clutch malfunctions partway through the trip).
The raucous finale at the sordidly exhibitionist Little Miss Sunshine pageant reeks of unfounded optimism, but its cathartic emotional intensity is oddly satisfying. We want to believe that everything will work out well, that the characters' mundane existences will now be charged with a vigorous embrace of life's whimsy and unpredictability and of the simple pleasures of time spent in the company of family. It may not be reasonable, but it's easy not to care.Powered by Sidelines

If you're interested in accessibility documentation on the DC releases, we've got you covered. The Adobe Acrobat accessibility site has loads of new documentation on Acrobat DC, including a step-by-step guide on adding accessibility support to PDF documents, and new VPAT documents. We're also updating our guide to Acrobat Reader for users of screen readers, including information on our new support for VoiceOver, and will let you know when that is available.
We would like to pass along one note of caution: Acrobat DC will replace your installed copy of Acrobat XI. If you need to revert to the older version for any reason, you can uninstall Acrobat DC, then reinstall Acrobat XI by going to the Acrobat downloads page. Creative Cloud subscribers will still be able to activate the Acrobat XI installer by logging into their account.]]>
If you're looking for a high-level introduction on what makes PhoneGap a good platform for building accessible mobile apps, this is it.
The PhoneGap Mobile Accessibility repository on Github is also available for PhoneGap developers who are interested in implementing more advanced accessibility support in their apps. (TL;DR PhoneGap apps by default benefit from good web accessibility practices, but the accessibility plugin gives developers access to native accessibility APIs, such as whether high contrast is on, or the user has selected a preferred text size.)]]>
Acrobat DC Accessibility: What's New
Acrobat DC and Reader DC: the Reading Experience
Accessible Documents with Acrobat DC, Reader DC and PDF Maker
CloudUI: a Case Study
Mobile Accessibility with PhoneGap
Accessible Content Management with Adobe Experience Manager]]>
First, the upcoming release of Adobe Acrobat and Adobe Reader will contain support for reading tagged PDF content with assistive technology on both Windows and Mac OS X. For the first time, Mac users will be able to use VoiceOver to create, edit and read accessible PDF documents.
The new user interface in Acrobat and Reader is also improved, and includes features that will help both readers and producers of PDF content. The whole UI now responds to high-contrast modes, with new icons customized for light or dark backgrounds.
Accessibility authoring features in Acrobat are now organized in the Accessibility Tool, which is more configurable than in earlier versions. And you can still find the Make Accessible Action in the Actions Tool, along with a number of components you can use to test and automate the production of accessible PDF documents.
Acrobat and Reader DC will be available within the next 30 days. If you are an Adobe Creative Cloud subscriber, you'll find the new version of Acrobat in the Creative Cloud app for you to download on the day it ships.
We're working on lots of accessibility documentation for users and authors, and will keep you up to date as we go.]]>
Freedom Scientific recently announced a beta version of their flagship screen reader, JAWS 16. In that release, their Convenient OCR (optical character recognition) feature has been expanded to help take inaccessible PDF documents (for example, paper documents taken directly from a scanner) and make them readable to screen-reader users. In light of this news, we want to caution creators of PDF content regarding what this new feature means for PDF accessibility.
Authors frequently ask us to automate this process for the thousands, millions or billions of documents they've already produced, and while tools do exist to do this, there's no guarantee that they can be 100% effective at what they do. Likewise, tools like Convenient OCR, made for readers to access previously inaccessible content, all have their own limitations.
None of these tools is a silver bullet. Neither automated authoring tools nor assistive technology for readers is intended to relieve creators of PDF content from their responsibility to make that content accessible.
The PDF format, along with tools which implement the PDF/UA specification, have many features intended to enable a final PDF document that works for users on the devices they choose, with the software they choose, and with the accessibility features they prefer. No matter what technology may come along, authors know more about the structure and content of the document than any algorithm can.
The Convenient OCR feature is what's known in accessibility as a repair technique. As with most other things, when you have to repair something, it means you're starting with an item that is broken. This is true of inaccessible PDF documents: for example, when a page is scanned into a PDF without being properly tagged, readers miss both the textual content and the document structure that sighted users take for granted. When a tool tries to repair that document, it can only guess at the original text (and we know first-hand that OCR still isn't 100% effective) and what kind of structure was intended.
Authors alone have the ability to communicate exactly what they mean, in a way that can be read by people with perfect vision, or who use a screen reader, or who use magnification software and/or features like high-contrast mode to adapt to their individual needs.
None of this is intended to take away from the work that Freedom Scientific is doing. Repair techniques are invaluable tools, and features like OCR have been used to work around inaccessible text since the 1970s. We feel this is a great feature for JAWS users. And other assistive technology companies such as Dolphin and AiSquared have also built tools to make text found in graphics readable to their users.
But for authors, the rules don't change. We have lots of tools and tips on how to create accessible PDF documents that can be used by people of all kinds of abilities and preferences, and it's still our responsibility to use them.]]>
The accessibility of PhoneGap apps can actually be fairly good, depending on the underlying code used to build it. That's because mobile browsers already come with a lot of accessibility support on their own, that these apps can use to their advantage. What they can't do, that other mobile apps can, is ask the operating system if, for example, a user has large fonts enabled, or has colors reversed, or whether the screen reader is running. That's why we built a Mobile Accessibility plugin, which feeds that information to PhoneGap apps, including notifying those apps when it changes. This plugin allows PhoneGap apps to look and feel even more like native applications by taking into accounts the preferences of the person using the device.
We've developed this API publicly on GitHub, so people can poke at it and give us feedback, but also to encourage more development. We started by building support for iOS and Android because, having built-in screen readers, magnifiers and other features, they had the most existing work we could integrate. But there are other platforms, like Windows Phone 8 and BlackBerry OS, which run PhoneGap apps and have accessibility APIs of their own, and which could have their own support in PhoneGap using this plugin. It's on our to-do list, but if you have a more pressing need, you can follow the iOS and Android versions as a model for developing (and hopefully contributing) your own.
If you don't have software development kits for mobile operating systems installed, but you have a free Adobe ID, you can still try your hand at developing a mobile app of your own. Try PhoneGap Build, our new service that lets you upload the code you want to turn into an app, then builds it for multiple platforms at once. You can even install it onto your test devices simply by entering a URL or snapping a QR code.
If you already use PhoneGap Build, we have even better news: the Mobile Accessibility plugin is now supported in Build, so you can use it like any other core plugin. Documentation is on GitHub, and we'll be working on other ways to show developers how to improve the accessibility of their applications as time rolls on.]]>
The Senate is responsible for approving treaties put forward for ratification by the president. The CRPD was signed by the United States in 2009. Unfortunately, at the time the CRPD was first presented to the Senate, it was not approved, falling just a few votes short of the required two-thirds vote.
Adobe is adding its voice to the chorus of organizations and advocates that believe the CRPD is an important step toward ensuring people with disabilities have equal access to government services, employment opportunities, and technological advances. One of the expectations of the CRPD is that ratifying countries will adopt standards for information technology accessibility. In order to facilitate the goal of equal access, it is critical that the adopted standards be harmonized to ensure that software from companies such as Adobe, developers creating content, and assistive technology vendors can focus on a single global standard for accessibility rather than needing to address unique requirements in each country.
The United States, through legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, has already affirmed that disability must not be a barrier to entering a building, finding and keeping a job, interacting with government officials and services, shopping, dining out, or moving from place to place. Other U.S. laws guarantee equal access to education, voting, buying a home, catching a flight, and even watch TV shows on the Internet. While there is still work to be done, the foresight of bipartisan U.S. policymakers over the decades in creating a legislative framework that moves this country toward equal access for all people is now being emulated worldwide. Ratifying the CRPD will further show the world that these are the values we should all share.]]>
This is a port of the same code we use on adobe.com, and it combines great keyboard and screen-reader support with the kind of pixel perfection you would expect from a site like ours. We're confident this will meet the needs of a wide range of sites, so we'd love to hear your feedback.
The Mega Menu homepage on GitHub is the place to read up on how it works. You can download Mega Menus from the repository, and you can file issues there as well. Or, if you want to contribute code, just make a pull request, and we'll address it.]]>
If the PDF/UA specification could be summed up in one sentence, it may go something like this:
"PDF/UA makes certain that the PDF format isn't the source of accessibility problems."
The end result of a document built using the PDF/UA spec is a more reliable, more accessible document that avoids the tricks and traps that PDF can present. PDF authors don't need to know anything specific about what goes on behind the scenes; the tools themselves are responsible for adding and preserving the accessibility of the PDF. That's the value of PDF/UA.
That does not mean that a PDF/UA-compliant document will always be perfectly accessible—issues like poorly-built Word documents or other source material will, of course, carry their accessibility flaws no matter what format they're converted into. No one should claim that PDF/UA conformance means that a given document will pass the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0, and organizations shouldn't treat PDF/UA as a WCAG stand-in. But conformance does indicate that the authoring process for a given piece of content retains its accessibility level when it's output as a PDF.
The PDF/UA specification defines conformance for three different aspects of PDF: content, readers, and assistive technology. The authoring tools are intentionally omitted: only the content they produce matters here, and that can only be measured at the individual document level.
We've seen a number of organizations that are specifying PDF/UA-compliant documents, and that's a worthwhile approach, as far as it goes. The revamped accessibility checker in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI bases its tests on PDF/UA and WCAG criteria, but doesn't yet fully test PDF/UA compliance.
The PDF/UA document itself is 23 pages, and thanks to ISO's publishing model, it's about $90 US to purchase a copy. We're sensitive to the cost issue here, but in the interest of full disclosure, Adobe doesn't own this work (it was the product of participants from a number of companies, and its copyright belongs to ISO), so we're not able to simply republish the spec. To those who are planning to implement PDF/UA in their readers and assistive technologies, $90 is not a barrier (and if you promise to implement PDF/UA in an open-source tool, I'll buy you a copy myself, though I'm sure I'd get the better end of that deal).
The material is what we in America call "inside baseball"—it's very technical, requires a solid understanding of PDF internals, and is heavily cross-referenced with ISO 32000-1:2008, the PDF 1.7 specification. For non-technical authors looking to create accessible PDFs, this spec is very technical; you may be better off looking at the PDF Techniques for WCAG 2.0. However, I've taken the liberty of summarizing this spec so that everyone has a chance to understand what conformance entails.
The spec starts by listing what PDF/UA does not do: help with converting paper or electronic documents to PDF/UA; give implementation advice for rendering PDF documents; or tell you how to store PDFs or what OS to use. The rest of the front matter includes normative references to WCAG 2.0, PDF 1.7, PDF/A-2, and PDF/X-1a; defining a handful of terms; and setting a namespace for PDF/UA metadata which goes into every conforming file.
The document then defines conformance at three levels: individual files, PDF readers, and assistive technology.
A conforming file contains features that are valid according to the PDF 1.7 spec, except for features PDF/UA specifically forbids. It has to be marked as a PDF/UA document as described in Section 5, and meet all the requirements in Section 7 below.
A conforming reader must also be a conforming reader according to PDF 1.7. It will support all the tags, attributes and key values specified for accessibility, and respect when optional content is hidden. It will make the logical reading order available. It will allow AT to inspect artifacts, and its interface must itself be accessible, and not interfere with any AT feature.
There are some repair techniques for headings and tables, rules for handling optional content, attached and embedded files, digital signatures, actions, metadata, navigation, annotations, forms and media.
A conforming AT supports all of the features of the content and the reader, and should allow navigation by page labels, document structure, or the outline. It should also let the user override default navigation zoom. (A combined reader and AT, perhaps something like TextHelp's PDF Aloud, could be both a conforming reader and a conforming AT.)
This is the meat of the spec, and there's some good advice in here for those of you who are already well-versed in tagging PDFs.
All PDF/UA documents must be tagged PDF. Tags must be semantically appropriate (that is, you can't just mark everything <p> and be done), and in logical reading order. Artifacts (sometimes referred to as "Background" in Acrobat) must not be tagged. If a PDF does anything non-standard with its tags, those tags have to be remapped to standard PDF tags. Standard tags can't be overridden.
Content can't flicker, blink or flash, and it can't be conveyed solely by color, contrast, formatting, layout or sound. Image-only PDFs may be created, but their content must also be tagged.
The document must have a title, and it must be displayed in the title bar.
Text must be Unicode. The document's language, and any changes in language, must be declared.
Graphics must be marked up with the Figure tag, and must have alt text, unless it's presentational, in which case it's an Artifact. Groups of images that represent one thought are to be tagged as a single Figure. Captions that go with figures must be tagged as such.
Headings must be nested sequentially (e.g., H1-H2-H3 is acceptable, but H1-H3 is not). Headings can go as deep as necessary (e.g., H1041 is valid, if you've used the first 1040 levels). Generic "H" headings are acceptable, but can't be used interchangeably with numbered headings.
Tables should have headers ("TH" tags) with a Scope attribute.
Lists must be marked up appropriately.
Math equations must be in a Formula tag, with alt text.
Page headers and footers must be marked up as Pagination artifacts, so they're not read out repeatedly.
Footnotes and endnotes must be marked up with the Note tag.
All optional content configuration dictionaries (a PDF feature which allows content to be hidden conditionally) must be named.
Any embedded files must also be accessible.
Article threads (which allow multicolumn layouts across pages) must retain proper reading order.
Digital signature form fields must be laid out accessibly.
Non-interactive forms have to be tagged with PDF "PrintField" attributes so they will appear as read-only form fields to AT.
Static XFA-based forms are allowed. Dynamic XFA forms are not.
Secured documents must allow AT access.
Documents should have outlines that reflect the reading order and nav hierarchy.
Visible annotations must be represented in the right place in the reading order.
Tab order must be defined.
Links must be tagged, and contain an alternate description.
Metadata tags must be properly set for embedded media.
Actions (i.e., scripting) are allowed. Changes in content or focus must be announced to AT, and cannot set time limits on individual keystrokes.
There are requirements for the implementation of fonts that are well out of scope for an overview, but important for reliable rendering of fonts across operating systems and reader implementations.
So, that's it. We're hoping a little transparency regarding PDF/UA helps everyone understand what it does and doesn't do. In time, we anticipate that PDF/UA will make accessible authoring a more automatic and uniform process across authoring tools, which in turn will make the accessibility of PDFs in the wild a lot better in general.]]>

|Half Baths
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|7 nights
Spacious Spanish colonial home located in the heart of Mazatlan's cultural center. Located on Pedregoso street in the central historic district of old Mazatlan.
* 2 Bedrooms - Queen sized beds - Air conditioning, ceiling fans
* 1.5 Bathrooms - Upstairs: full bath w large rain shower - Downstairs: half bath plus enclosed outdoor shower
* Kitchen - Fully equipped, refrigerator, stove, microwave - Counter seating for 2
* Living Area - Comfortably seats 4 to 6, air conditioning
* Covered Terrace - Dining for 4
* Rooftop Deck - Water view, table, chairs, canopy
We were really impressed by the wonderful restoration of the house - so lovely and liveable. Most appreciated the plentiful towels, good beds, appliances, etc.
If you're looking to experience the real Mazatlan, we highly recommend Jeff's house in Centro Historico. Situated on Calle Pedregoso, the house is very well maintained, clean, and comfortable. With two bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a well equipped kitchen, UV filtered water system, and onsite laundry facilities, living in "Maz" becomes easy.
Eduardo, the house manager, is excellent; very helpful, tending to any issues that arise very quickly and without fail.
The biggest plus for this house is its location; everything one could want is within an easy 15 minute walk. You can enjoy the Plazuela Machado with its restaurants and the Angela Peralta Theatre (seven minutes), the beach at Olas Altas and the malecon (five minutes), and the main shopping market, Mercardo Pino Suarez (15 minutes). For places farther afield the bus system is inexpensive and easy to use.
Music abounds in Historico and particularly at the Machado. Whether it's jazz at Bohemia on Tuesdays, or bands in the bandshell on weekend evenings, a person can always find some entertainment. For us, nothing beats an evening cocktail at Tramoya watching the world go by - the perfect end to the day.
All in all, we can't say enough good things about Jeff's house, its location, and Mazatlan. We'll be back.
This house has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable and enjoyable visit to Mazatlán's cultural center. It is located several blocks from the major plazas, market, and boardwalk. We especially found the abarrotes Hidalgo, just a half a block down the hill, to be quite convenient and friendly. Not only would we recommend this property to a friend, we hope to return soon ourselves and enjoy the roof-top vistas for another extended visit!
This attractive house has all the amenities one could wish, including pressurized potable tap water. Everything was extremely clean and in working order. The owner and manager provided excellent service. There were abundant supplies of linens, tissues, and soaps. Everything in the historic center is within easy walking distance: the malecon, plazuela, the mercado, museums, excellent and inexpensive yoga classes at El Recreo, and abundant, reasonably-priced restaurant choices. Allegro became a daily habit for us for both coffee drinks and light meals. I was a little concerned about walking up the hill but found it very easy.
Jeff's photos are nice, but they don't do the place justice - it's a fantastic house! It's roomy, comfortable, nicely decorated, and has all your modern conveniences. The second floor bedroom balcony and the rooftop deck offer great views of the city. And on top of all that, the location is terrific. Pedregoso is a fun street and neighborhood, in and of itself. The Super Hidalgo tienda is about a block to the east, the plazuela with the library is just beyond that, and about three block farther on you've got the Plazuela Machado, which is a great place to hang out. We spent a lot of time there, eating, drinking and watching the quinceañera parties. Then to the west, the Olas Altas beach and malecon are only about three blocks away. Everything in the beautiful Centro Historico is an easy walk away, including the Mercado and the Cathedral, but if you go to Paseo Olas Altas you can catch a pulmonia, taxi, or camioneta that will take you anywhere you want to go in Mazatlán.
Gloria was wonderful, she waited patiently as we made our way into town from the airport, and arrived promptly to check us out. If we ever make it back to Mazatlán, and I certainly hope we do, Pedregoso #2 will be our #1 choice for a place to stay!
We felt at home the minute we walked in the house. Great location, close to beach and center of town. Everything described in the house was accurate. Jeff was excellent to deal with, return all mails and deposit promptly. Loved Esther the housekeeper. Our only complaint was that we only had two weeks to spend there. Would love to come back.
This house was really wonderful. It is perfectly located and we enjoyed every day there. It was exactly as described. Gloria was there to meet us and gave us a tour of the property. She answered our questions and offered suggestions as to where we should go and what we might like to do. Fortunately, we were there during Carnival and OH MY! We were a block and a half from all the activities BUT heard very little noise at our house. We watched the fireworks from the Old Mazatlan Inn which were amazing! Thanks to O"Neil for the gracious invite. On fat Tuesday we went to the Shrimp Bucket and got an outdoor table and watched the parade up close and comfortable. I highly recommend Mazatlan, especially the historical part. You can't find a better house to rent than Jeff's. PS We were there for a month and walked the streets day and night and always felt comfortable. All the people we met, both native and visitors, were extremely helpful and very nice. Our favorite restaurants were the Shrimp Bucket, Puerto Azul, Panera, El Faro, and Terrazo. Don't miss going to Stone Island but do it on you own by taking the water taxi over and back. You can either walk to the water taxi or take a Pulmonia for a nominal fee. Busses are also available and very easy to navigate. I would definately recommend this property to anyone desiring a true Mazatlan experience.

Best Names for Dogs
The Top Ten
Makes me think of Air Bud and the Buddies series. Buddy was such a good dog- I even name my cat Buddy, but that's because I kept calling him that on accident, it's probably because the name fit him so well, because he was my pal. Not better than my puppy though. Dog's are the best friend you an ever have, and I'm not just saying that because it's true. I've learned from experience.
That is a good name for a dog but this is just a question why would you want to name it buddy no trying to be mean in all
I knew this would be the best one! Buddy is my favorite dog name and my sister used to have a dog named Buddy. BUDDY!
I don't think that it is the best nameV 19 Comments
I agree also a great dog name my dogs is defiantly going to be lucky. Great name!
Such an awesome name for a dog that's well... LUCKY :-)
This is awesome in so lucky I found a good name - OneWayStreet
I guess your best hope is that your dog is a lucky one! So why not call him Lucky, like my friend's adorable dalmatian?
-White Wolf
Because what if it is black? It could be shadow
Shadow makes me think of something dark, and mean. But on the bright side, shadow is a nice puppy name because a shadow follows you everywhere. Just like your puppy!
Shadow is an amazing name I find
If it's a black puppy like a kitty is should be shadowV 13 Comments
Biscuit is ADORABLE! Perfect for a small fluffy dog, like a Maltese or a
Even a golden retriever. But personally, my favourite name EVER for a dog is; Socks or yogurt. They're totally funny names that will suit dogs with fun and affectionate personalities
Hi my opinion is that people should call their dog Biscuit because it is a really cute name my brother and I want a new puppy and we both really want to name it biscuit if it is a boy. I LOVE THE NAME BISCUIT!
Biscuit, it's a perfect dog name. We have a biscuit colored beagle hound mix and it suits him well. It just so happens its also a children's story book collection about a dog called Biscuit.
Biscuit is an amazing name and I recommend that if you are struggling for a name for your dog you should choose biscuit XXV 21 Comments
It's a hip name. The best there is. Finnick, Biscuit, and bronzey are awesome too. But Spike is the best. Snoop and browser are cool too.
I name my puppy spike because It is a bulldog and in the tom and jerry there is spike the bulldog
Cool name my next is going to be spikeV 4 Comments
Are you kidding me? That's my boyfriend's name! I bet he'll get pretty mad when he find out that his name was actually voted #11 in TheTopTens.com for "Best names for dogs"! It's kinda hilarious, don't you think?
Max is a lovely name, because my mother had a dog called Max, and it makes the dog sound happy and playful, which you always want in your dogs name, I think that it is just truly a brilliant name, and I would recommend it to anyone with a boy dog. PS: I wish I could call my dog Max, I would love to.
What an awesome name I have a German shepherd named MAX and Max is a great name for a dog I LOVE IT!
I had a dog named max he died on September, 24, 2016.He was always happy. I love the name MaxV 8 Comments

Bob is by far the most sensible name on this list. It is short, sounds funny, and is just plain awesome. Heck, it's a good name for a BABY!
Bob is the name of my dog... My family fought me but they all love the name... Just gets awkward when you meet someone with the same name as your dog lol
What else would you name anything - Fireball1066
Bob is a great name. Not sure why people think it's an odd name for a dog.V 1 Comment
Nigel is a great name, and it sounds like a competent banker type, so you always feel confident that your dog will know how to handle any important mergers or acquisition deals.
I LOVE Nigel it is adorable who wouldn't like his name but everybody has different opinions.V 1 Comment
I used to have a really cute dog named Ben. He was really compassionate, adorable, and all around just great! He was part Red Heeler, part Airedale Terrier. He was the sweetest thing. This is a great name. - NoEntranceHere
Love the name. Had a golden retriever that suited him perfectly. Was named after Ben rothesiesberger of pgh. Steelers!
My bff is called that but spelt Robyn

I found it really clear. All the stuff you want, none of what you don't.
great visual execution but visual metaphor is kinda far fetch. i dont really get what useless is referring to other than the fruit skin. if u are associating the trouble of peeling skin to the trouble of banking offline, then i think the line has to convey it clearer :)
I found it really clear. All the stuff you want, none of what you don't.
Interesting insight. Though, assuming you are right about the "first idea" thing (I see your point, but, it seems a tad presumptuous), I think this ad captures the idea that many bank customers feel there are numerous systems, processes and fees within a bank which are useless. The rat-maze line-ups for instance. Play that idea against a simple metaphor: that CERTAIN fruit skins are also considered useless and show it in one image and one good line of copy and I think that's effective. I wasn't screaming in laughter, but I don't think funny is the intended effect; more witty. And obviously the presented logic is abandoned, but, to highlight a more attractive idea: efficient banks.
But, agreed, an idea can always be taken further.
Great one!
I love the photoshop but it's more for art then for ads.
those who says bad execution, actually they are jealous! :P

|Gnaiger E (2009) Capacity of oxidative phosphorylation in human skeletal muscle. New perspectives of mitochondrial physiology. Int J Biochem Cell Biol 41:1837-45.
Gnaiger E (2009) Int J Biochem Cell BiolAbstract: convergent electron flow through Complexes I&II to the Q-junction of the electron transport system (ETS). In most studies of respiratory control in mitochondrial preparations, however, respiration is limited artificially by supplying substrates for electron input through either Complex I or II. High-resolution respirometry with minimal amounts of tissue biopsy (1 to 3 mg wet weight of permeabilized muscle fibres per assay) provides a routine approach for multiple substrate-uncoupler-inhibitor titrations. Under physiological conditions, maximal respiratory capacity is obtained with glutamate&malate&succinate, reconstituting the operation of the tricarboxylic acid cycle and preventing depletion of key metabolites from the mitochondrial matrix. In human skeletal muscle, conventional assays with pyruvate&malate or glutamate&malate yield submaximal oxygen fluxes at 0.50 to 0.75 of capacity of oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). Best estimates of muscular OXPHOS capacity at 37 °C [pmol O2∙s-1∙mg-1 wet weight] with isolated mitochondria or permeabilized fibres, suggest a range of 100 to 150 and up to 180 in healthy humans with normal body mass index and top endurance athletes, but reduction to 60 to 120 in overweight healthy adults with predominantly sedentary life style. The apparent ETS excess capacity (noncoupled respiration) over ADP-stimulated OXPHOS capacity is high in skeletal muscle of active and sedentary humans, but absent in mouse skeletal muscle. Such differences of mitochondrial quality in skeletal muscle are unexpected and cannot be explained at present. A comparative data base of mitochondrial physiology may provide the key for understanding the functional implications of mitochondrial diversity from mouse to man, and evaluation of altered mitochondrial respiratory control patterns in health and disease.

« Marketing software tools just don't cut it yet... | Main | MySpace moves up to #1 US Internet property on the web »
July 12, 2006
Can you actually get marketing and sales to stop fighting?(Posted by francois to: Strategy | human resources | marketing | sales )
According to a recent article in the Harvard Business Review (requires subscription or can be purchased), you could and you should strive towards integrated sales and marketing departments as the benefits of having both groups work in harmony are plentiful.
Stop marketing departments who spend on advertising without tying the results to sales, stop sales departments that only fulfill demand instead of (co)creating it, and stop managers for whom marketing is nothing more than selling and sales support... p.l.e.a.s.e!
The authors see two main sources of friction between sales and marketing - one economic and one cultural. The economic one has to do with the power distribution between sales and marketing in three of the four P's - promotion, pricing, and product. The cultural one, which may be even more entrenched, has to do with the fact that the two departments attract vastly different types of people - with different educational backgrounds, skill sets, etc.
The article offers a few suggestions to better align the marketing and sales departments:
- Encourage disciplined communication - and that does not mean more communication, which is expensive.
- Create joint assignments and rotate jobs
- Improve sales force feedback
Once you have your sales and marketing departments aligned you can go a step further and work towards achieving an integrated relationship. The authors suggest the following actions to achieve integrated departments:
- Appoint a chief revenue or chief customer officer - a CRO or a CCO
- Define the steps in the marketing and sales funnels
- Split marketing into two groups - strategic and tactical groups
- Set shared revenue targets and reward systems
- Integrate sales and marketing metrics
While some of the advise and terminology may seem a little staid or even passé (after all, is marketing still about the 4 P's? and is the buying process still a funnel?), the advise is solid and practical and should benefit any company with dysfunctional marketing and sales departments.

Daniel Murphy earns high marks as the Mets' only All-Star participant.Credit: Getty Images
Mets general manager Sandy Alderson gave his team a goal of 90 wins heading into the season.
He was scoffed at then, and things aren't much better now, as the Mets have stumbled to a 45-50 record at the All-Star break. They may be on pace to win only about 76 games, but the boys from Queens have turned it on as of late. They enter the break having won three straight series with wins in eight of their last 10 contests.
Of course, they lost seven of eight before this hot streak, so you never quite know with the Mets.
Alderson now has to decide whether he wants to be a seller at the trade deadline seven games back in the wild card. The upside of having a young team is that you have something to look forward to, but the downside is the Mets have few players to deal.
Metro breaks down what the current players have done in the first half.
Travis d'Arnaud, catcher
After a brief interlude in Las Vegas, d'Arnaud seems to have found his stroke again at the big league level. His overall numbers (.217, six homers) are still poor, but he's hitting .295 with three homers in the 16 games since he's returned to show some of why he's a top prospect.
Grade: C+
Lucas Duda, first base
The Mets bet on Duda at first base, dealing away Ike Davis just weeks into the season.
Davis is batting .237 with four home runs and a .352 OBP. Duda is doing much better. He's tied for the team lead with 14 homers and his .256 batting average is respectable. Now about the defense ...
Grade: B
Daniel Murphy, second base
Murphy is deserving as the team's lone repre- sentative in the All-Star Game. His numbers are just slightly behind starter Chase Utley as the second-best second baseman in the league. If it weren't for average defense he'd be even better.
Grade: A–
Ruben Tejada, shortstop
Sure, his numbers are better than last year — and he's not fighting with management — but he is what we thought he was. His 0.9 WAR shows he's just about at replacement level and the Mets still need a shortstop of the future.
Grade: C–
David Wright, third base
The Mets made a push for Wright to earn the starting nod in Tuesday's All-Star Game, but he hasn't deserved it.He had a 2.4 WAR, which is significantly worse than last season(5.8). He's down across the board in all individual statistics.
Grade: C
Curtis Granderson, left field
The Yankees gave up on Granderson but the Mets spent $60 million on the aging star. It hasn't worked out very well. His .237 average is right on line with recent years, but his power (14 home runs) is down in Citi Field.
Juan Lagares, centerfield
The young outfielder can lay legitimate claim to being the best defensive center fielder in the sport. You'd like to see him use his speed to steal some more bases (just two this season), but his .293 average is good enough to keep him in the lineup. And that wonderful defense has him second to Murphy on the team in WAR (2.2).
Chris Young, right field
The Mets never should've spent $7.25 million on Young, plain and simple. For a team that is conservative with money, it was a baffling decision. He is barely over the Mendoza Line at .202, and his eight home runs don't make up for his 44 strikeouts in 208 at-bats.
Grade: F
Jon Niese has been the team's best starter despite a few minor injuries.Credit: Getty Images
Jon Niese, starter
If it weren't for the injuries, Niese would be receiving much more attention around the league. His 2.96 ERA has him 12th in the NL, but his 5-4 record have people overlooking him. He's been solid even when his stuff, especially his velocity, has been questionable.
Grade: B+
Bartolo Colon, starter
Colon might've taken some time to readjust to the National League, but he's not been as bad as fans might want you to believe. His ERA was over 5.00 through nine starts, but he's gotten it down to 3.99 with a 2.80 ERA in the nine starts since. Now he might be a valuable trade chip.
Grade: B–
Zack Wheeler, starter
With Matt Harvey out for the season, Wheeler was supposed to step into a bigger role. He started out as anything but a stud, but he's steadily improved the last month. His ERA is down to 3.90 after going 4-4 with a 3.07 ERA and 59 strikeouts in his last 10 starts.
Dillon Gee, starter
Like Niese, an injury knocked him out of the rotation, but when he's been on the mound he's been great. He has a 2.56 ERA, a 1.056 WHIP and just 16 walks in 59 2/3 innings. He's developing into a very consistent second or third starter.
Jenrry Mejia, closer
Mejia switched to the bullpen, and eventually closer, after seven inconsistent starts. He's been very solid in the role, with 10 saves in 12 chances and a 2.33 ERA. He's taken to the role after some disappointment at being removed from the rotation and the Mets may have found their future closer. Bobby Parnell may be expendable when he returns from injury.
