Abbas receives phone call from Israel's Peres
RAMALLAH (Ma'an) -- President Mahmoud Abbas received a phone call from Israeli president Shimon Peres on Sunday, official news agency Wafa reported.
Both leaders discussed the peace process, according to Wafa.
Israeli President Shimon Peres hailed President Mahmoud Abbas as a courageous partner for peace on Saturday after the Palestinian leader made clear his support for a two-state solution in an interview with Israeli TV.
"(Abbas's) courageous words prove that Israel has a real partner for peace," Peres said in a statement. "These are significant words ... We must all treat them with the utmost respect."

US creates triennial exceptions to DMCA - Biederman Blog
November 4th, 2012 by Matt Haddad
Here?s some specifics on what Maria Pallante, the Register of Copyrights, recommended to James Billington, the Librarian of Congress, and which were adopted, effective Oct. 28:
- Critics and cineastes will benefit from a ruling on short excerpts from motion pictures on DVDs that are Content Scrambling System (CSS) protected and motion pictures lawfully acquired through online distribution services. These are exempted for criticism or comment by either screen-capture technology, or when that does not provide high enough quality content, by circumvention. This is solely for criticism or comment in 1) noncommercial videos; 2) documentary films; 3) nonfiction multimedia e-books offering film analysis; and 4) educational purposes in courses that require film and media analysis, college and university faculty and students and students in grades kindergarten through 12.?This renews the 2010 exemption that?allows documentary filmmakers to rip content from DVDs and streaming video for fair use incorporation in their work, but Blu-Ray was not included as proponents failed to demonstrate that space shifting is a noninfringing act.?Video remix was also renewed, but?expanded to allow online service clips.
- Motion pictures and other audiovisual works on CSS protected DVDs or distributed by a DRM protected online service may be circumvented ?to facilitate research and development of players capable of rendering captions and descriptive audio for persons who are blind, visually impaired, deaf, or hard of hearing.? The Register supports empowering Americans with disabilities to participate in the multimedia culture.
- DRM protected e-books (literary works distributed electronically) that were lawfully obtained by a person with a disability may be cracked to allow those people to use screen readers and other assistive technologies. This exemption previously was unavailable if the e-book were available in a non-DRM protected format.
- Smartphones may be cracked to allow interoperability of nonvendor approved computer applications (jail-breaking) with the handset. Computer programs on smartphones, purchased new, before? or no later than 90 days after Oct. 28, may be legally unlocked to allow connection to a different wireless telecommunications network.
- The exemption for jail-breaking smartphones to allow use of other than manufacturer-approved operation systems was continued. It was not?extended to tablets because ?the proposed class was broad and ill-defined,??nor to?video game consoles because ?access controls on gaming consoles protect not only the console firmware but the video games and applications that run on the console as well.? The Registrar did not exempt jail-breaking or running home-brew applications to circumvent access controls to video game consoles because proponents did not sufficiently establish that even if fair use could serve as a basis for the exemption, there was failure ?to demonstrate that video game consoles? access controls have or are likely to have a substantial adverse impact on such uses.?
The Register considered but concluded that Section 1201 does not prohibit circumvention of technological protection of works in the public domain, so there is no need for an exemption. In the tug of war between digital rights groups and the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), regulators sided with the latter, rejecting proposals for copying DVDs for personal use.

Orange County Early Voting Hours Extended Sunday Following Judge's Ruling
ORLANDO, Fla. ? A judge extended early voting hours in one Florida county on Sunday after the state Democratic Party sued in an effort to give people more time at the polls.
Some voters had faced waits several hours long on Saturday, the last scheduled day of early voting. The judge ruled on a lawsuit filed late Saturday in Orange County after an early voting site was shut down for several hours. The Winter Park library was evacuated when a suspicious package ? a cooler ? was found outside. It was later detonated by a local bomb squad.
Bill Cowles, the Orange County elections supervisor, said that voters who show up on Sunday will be asked to use a provisional ballot. The extra hours will be offered at only the Winter Park library.
A Republican Party spokesman said the party was not challenging the decision. Brian Burgess said state law requires provisional ballots to be used whenever a court orders an extension of voting hours.
The Democratic state party also filed a federal lawsuit Sunday morning seeking more voting time in Palm Beach, Miami-Dade and Broward counties.
Voting in Miami-Dade County and Palm Beach County didn't wrap up until early Sunday morning because voters standing in line when the polls closed were allowed to vote.
U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson and other Democrats asked Gov. Rick Scott this past week to use his emergency powers to extend early voting. The Republican-controlled Florida Legislature last year cut the number of days available for early voting from a maximum of 14 days to eight days.
Scott and state election officials, however, turned down the extension requests. Secretary of State Ken Detzner maintained that there was not a true emergency that justified the extension. Chris Cate, a spokesman for Detzner, said that the state did not plan to appeal the decision to reopen the Winter Park location.
The federal lawsuit says counties should offer absentee ballot voting at local election offices if early voting cannot be extended. Both Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties said they planned to do that.
"I decided to open because we are allowed to do so," said Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections Susan Bucher.
Bucher noted that voting in her county did not wrap up until 2:30 a.m. Sunday. Her office started accepting absentee ballots at 9 a.m.
Christina White, deputy supervisor with Miami-Dade County, said the county also decided to accept absentee ballots for four hours on Sunday at its main office.
"We are hoping that (the Democratic Party) is happy with that," White said.
Broward County is also allowing voters to pick up absentee ballots on Sunday, but only if they made an appointment in advance.
Absentee ballot voting differs from early voting in that voters must fill out their ballot, place it an envelope and then sign it. The ballot envelopes are opened later and then fed into voting machines.
During early voting, voters place their ballots directly into the voting machines.
The Orange County lawsuit asked that early voting be extended at Winter Park and that the court ask local television and radio stations to let voters know about it.
The lawsuit included sworn statements from several voters who said they waited in line for hours and were turned away because voting was suspended at the site. A volunteer with the campaign of President Barack Obama said that the crowd of voters dwindled from 300 to just 40 after voting was halted.
