From cathedral bridal veils to blusher veil fashions, there's a veil that's the perfect length and design for you to become an even more beautiful bride.

With JJ's House selections, you can choose from endless design combinations for your veil, including diverse tiers, edges, embellishments, and even colors.

With so many gorgeous wedding veils available from JJ's House, you'll want to consider your dress, your face shape, and your hair style when selecting the right veil. Find more details on how to choose the perfect wedding veil here, and keep these tips in mind:
Don't cover up your lovely dress. If your dress has eye-catching front or back details, ensure they're seen with a shorter wedding veil style like a blusher veil, or opt for a sheer veil.
Chapel length and cathedral length veils pair well with more formal dresses. Because these are the longest types of veils, they work with dresses that have trains.
Add weighted details for windy settings. If you're having an outdoor wedding where there might be a breeze, beaded details can help keep your veil in place.
The heavier the veil, the more supported the hairstyle needs to be. Buns can support long and multiple-tier veils, while hairstyles worn down will work with more lightweight versions.
Consider the elements. If you're having an outdoor wedding at a location like a beach, an extra-long veil may be an inconvenience and cause stress during the ceremony.
Your wedding veil should be one you feel confident in and that has a style you love. Choose your veil with your entire wedding setting in mind to find your perfect match.
Wedding veils from JJ's House add an elegant touch to your wedding-day look. There are so many fashions to choose from that you're guaranteed to find a veil you like. Browse fabulous wedding veils now.

Video: can journalists use online marketing?
Regular readers will know how much I like throwing ideas from outside journalism head-on into the craft itself – and seeing what comes out.
I recently got hold of a copy of Get Up To Speed With Online Marketing – a new book by social media consultant Jon Reed. It's a very useful read if you're starting a new business, or already running a small business. And the key message: don't spend thousands on old-style marketing, do it all yourself, for free, online.
But what's that got to do with journalism?
Jon talks about creating valuable, high quality content in video, audio, images and text and then using social media to build a loyal community around it. Sound familiar?
I caught up with Jon and asked him whether journalists could learn anything from the often maligned world of online marketing…
In the video Jon talks about:
- why online marketing is important for journalists
- once you've created good content, how to get it out there
- why a niche is important and how to define one

Syfy's supernatural drama "Haven" will return to the net for a third season in 2012.
The net has ordered a further 13 hourlong segs of the series, which is based on Stephen King's novella "The Colorado Kid" and set in a small Maine town filled with supernatural secrets.
The series averaged nearly 1 million 18- to 49-year-old viewers per episode during season two, with 1.14 million in the 25 to 54 demo and 2.55 million total viewers (including people who watched the show on DVR up to seven days after broadcast).
Q3 of 2011 was a remarkably good quarter for scripted series on Syfy: "Haven," "Alphas," "Warehouse 13" and "Eureka" (which heads into its final season next year on the NBCUniversal network) all broke the 2.5 million mark in total viewers. The high performance gave Syfy its most-watched Q3 in the cabler's 19-year history, with an 8% year-on-year boost in the 18-49 demo.
"Haven" is produced by Entertainment One, which controls worldwide distrib, and Big Motion Pictures in association with Piller/Segan/Shepherd. The show is co-commissioned by Canadian shingle Shaw Media and Universal Networks International.

A couple years ago, while discussing popular music and culture, a girl in our youth group said something to my husband that, upon his retelling of it, left me dumbfounded. It was something along the lines of, "Demi Lovato is a bad person because she's in rehab."
If I would have been around, I would have lost it. I would have said something horrible like, "People like you are the reason that people like Demi Lovato hate themselves."
Then I would have launched into some sort of theological diatribe about how, technically, we're all in rehab for SOMETHING and that realizing that you need and want help for your problems should be celebrated and not condemned.
Maybe that's why I'm not in youth ministry anymore.
But I digress.
Last night I gave in to Cosmo's temptation and purchased their August issue simply because it has Demi on the cover. It also promised a "shocking" interview with her which… eh.
Shocking probably isn't the right word. Anyone who has followed Demi's story (like myself) won't be shocked. But there was one paragraph that made me stop and mentally high five her.
[Sorry. There's a bit of profanity.]

Use Certain Laxatives with Caution
Get this high resolution graphic on Flickr.
On this page:
Constipation may not be a subject for polite conversation, but it's a condition that bothers many of us on occasion.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is warning consumers that some of the over-the-counter (OTC) laxatives they may turn to for relief are potentially dangerous if dosing instructions or warnings on the Drug Facts label are not properly followed or when there are certain coexisting health conditions. In fact, there have been dozens of reports of serious side effects, including 13 deaths, associated with the use of sodium phosphate laxatives.
The label of sodium phosphate laxatives states that they should be used as a single dose taken once a day, and the products should not be used for more than three days. Equally important, consumers who do not have a bowel movement after taking an oral or rectal dose should not take another dose of the product.
In addition, labeling instructs adults and children to ask health care professionals before using these products if they have kidney disease, heart problems or dehydration.
FDA is now warning that adults older than 55 and adults and children with certain health conditions should ask a health care professional before using these products because they may be at increased risk for harmful side effects. These new warnings are not currently in the Drug Facts label and apply to both adults and children.
- who are taking certain drugs that affect how the kidneys work, such as diuretics or fluid medicines; angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors used to lower blood pressure; angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) used to treat high blood pressure, heart, or kidney failure; and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen.
- with inflammation of the colon.
Constipation is marked by infrequent bowel movements or difficulty in passing stools.
Laxatives—taken both orally and rectally—come in different forms, with different ingredients. The sodium phosphate used in some products is in a class of medications called saline laxatives. This class of laxatives helps promote a bowel movement by drawing water into the bowel, which softens the stool and makes it easier to pass.
Laxative products containing sodium phosphates are marketed under the brand name "Fleet" and also as store brands and generic products. All of them are potentially associated with serious side effects, such as dehydration and/or abnormal levels of electrolytes in the blood that can lead to serious complications, such as kidney damage and sometimes death.
Who is Most at Risk?
According to Mona Khurana, M.D., a medical officer in FDA's Division of Nonprescription Regulation Development and a pediatric nephrologist (a doctor who specializes in children's kidney diseases), the most serious harm in recent reports occurred after consumers overdosed by taking a single dose that was higher than recommended on the drug label or took more than one dose in a day because they had a poor laxative effect from the first dose.
"The bottom line is that these products are safe for otherwise healthy adults and older children for whom dosing instructions are provided on the Drug Facts label as long as they follow these dosing instructions and don't take the product more often, or in greater amounts, than the label instructs," Khurana says.
In recent reviews of harmful side effects reported by consumers and health care professionals, FDA has identified 54 cases of serious side effects associated with the oral or rectal use of OTC sodium phosphate products for the treatment of constipation in adults and children. Thirteen cases were fatal, including one child and 12 adults.
"It is not possible to determine the precise rate of these events as no one knows how many individuals who take these medications may experience side effects," says Khurana, adding, "Not everybody who develops problems in association with sodium phosphate use reports to the FDA."
Can these laxatives be used safely in young children?
"Caregivers should not give these products orally to children under age 5 years without first asking a health care professional. Both caregivers and health care professionals should avoid the rectal use of these drug products in children under age 2 years," Khurana cautions. "These warnings against use in young children are listed on product labeling."
Warning Signs
Consumers taking these laxatives should watch for warning signs of a bad reaction. For example, a rectal dose that is retained and does not produce a bowel movement may cause dehydration and/or serious changes in blood electrolyte levels. Symptoms of dehydration include dry mouth, thirst, reduced urine output, and lightheadedness, especially with changes in position. If the rectal dose is retained in the body longer than 30 minutes, a health care professional should be contacted right away.
The symptoms of kidney injury include drowsiness, sluggishness, a decreased amount of urine, or swelling of the ankles, feet and legs. If you experience any of these symptoms after using laxatives containing sodium phosphates, you should seek medical attention immediately.
If you have any concerns about using the products, particularly for use with young children, talk to your health care professional first, Khurana says.

Arizona officials are threatening legal action to stop the Obama administration from moving hundreds of undocumented immigrants from Texas to their state after a surge of illegal border crossings swamped immigration officials in the Rio Grande Valley.
Arizona officials say they were not notified before the transports began.
In a letter to the Department of Homeland Security, Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne (R) insisted the department's border security units stop the transports.
"These aliens are not being transported for the purposes of detaining them in a federal facility located in Arizona. Rather, DHS is inexplicably moving them some 1200 miles and simply releasing them here (outdoors in temperatures exceeding 100 degrees) rather than in Texas," Horne wrote [pdf].
Arizona state law prevents Horne from bringing suit against the federal government directly, but he could find someone else to sue.
Critics of the facilities where minors are held, ranging from Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) to the American Civil Liberties Union, have demanded access to assess conditions they say are substandard. McCain on Thursday called for Customs and Porter Patrol to allow media access to the Nogales Processing Center.
"There is only one way of knowing what the treatment is and that's for the media to allowed access," McCain said Thursday on an Arizona radio show. "We need you and any media outlet that wants to be there to be there. What kind of society are we in?"
In a letter to Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Gil Kerlikowske, McCain and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) called the situation a "humanitarian crisis." McCain and Flake also asked for a hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee.
The influx of immigrants is heating up a years-old debate within Arizona political circles. Horne faces a strong Republican challenger after allegations he broke campaign finance law, and acting tough on immigration is a certain vote-getter in GOP primaries. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer (R) is using the crisis to raise money for her federal political action committee.
The Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have reported a dramatic spike in the number of people caught crossing the border illegally. In January, just 28,000 people attempted to cross the border; that number spiked to 60,000 in May, according to McCain's office.

Nearly three decades after Apple Computer introduced the Macintosh, a pair of incredibly rare Mac prototypes have been discovered and restored to working order.
The computers, known as Twiggy Macs because they used the same 5.25-inch Twiggy floppy disk drive found in Apple's doomed Lisa, were tracked down and painstakingly brought back to life by Adam Goolevitch, a vintage Mac collector, and Gabreal Franklin, a former Apple software engineer.
"Throughout the past 15 years, I have heard stories of and researched the fabled 'Twiggy Macintosh' computer," Goolevitch told Cult of Mac in an email. "It was a thing of myth and legend — like a unicorn."
Locating these Macs was the first step, but getting them to work was the real challenge. Goolevitch and Franklin embarked on an all-out effort to resurrect these long-lost pieces of Macintosh history.
Now two Twiggy Macs have been returned to life in full working glory. They are — without a doubt — the oldest Macs in the world. With auction prices for Apple-1 computers nudging upward toward the half-million-dollar mark, these incredibly rare prototypes — which look a lot like something you might find at a garage sale — could prove priceless. Here is the story of their amazing resurrection.

Nobody can deny New Orleans' cultural primacy or its historical importance. But before we refloat the sunken city, before we think of spending billions of dollars rebuilding levees that may not hold back the next storm, before we contemplate reconstructing the thousands of homes now disintegrating in the toxic tang of the flood, let's investigate what sort of place Katrina destroyed.
The city's romance is not the reality for most who live there. It's a poor place, with about 27 percent of the population of 484,000 living under the poverty line, and it's a black place, where 67 percent are African-American. In 65 percent of families living in poverty, no husband is present. When you overlap this New York Times map, which illustrates how the hurricane's floodwaters inundated 80 percent of the city, with this demographic map from the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center, which shows where the black population lives, and this one that shows where the poverty cases live, it's transparent whom Katrina hit the hardest.
New Orleans' public schools, which are 93 percent black, have failed their citizens. The state of Louisiana rates 47 percent of New Orleans schools as "Academically Unacceptable" and another 26 percent are under "Academic Warning." About 25 percent of adults have no high-school diploma.
The police inspire so little trust that witnesses often refuse to testify in court. University researchers enlisted the police in an experiment last year, having them fire 700 blank gun rounds in a New Orleans neighborhood one afternoon. Nobody picked up the phone to report the shootings. Little wonder the city's homicide rate stands at 10 times the national average.
This city counts 188,000 occupied dwellings, with about half occupied by renters and half by owners. The housing stock is much older than the national average, with 43 percent built in 1949 or earlier (compared with 22 percent for the United States) and only 11 percent of them built since 1980 (compared with 35 for the United States). As we've observed, many of the flooded homes are modest to Spartan to ramshackle and will have to be demolished if toxic mold or fire don't take them first.
New Orleans puts the "D" into dysfunctional. Only a sadist would insist on resurrecting this concentration of poverty, crime, and deplorable schools. Yet that's what New Orleans' cheerleaders—both natives and beignet-eating tourists—are advocating. They predict that once they drain the water and scrub the city clean, they'll restore New Orleans to its former "glory."
Only one politician, Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, dared question the wisdom of rebuilding New Orleans as it was, where it was. On Wednesday, Aug. 31, while meeting with the editorial board of the Daily Heraldof Arlington Heights, Ill., he cited the geographical insanity of rebuilding New Orleans. "That doesn't make sense to me. … And it's a question that certainly we should ask."
"It looks like a lot of that place could be bulldozed," Hastert added.
For his candor and wisdom, Hastert was shouted down. Sen. Mary L. Landrieu, D-La., and others interpreted his remarks as evidence of the Republican appetite for destruction when it comes to disaster victims. But if you read the entire interview—reproduced here courtesy of the Daily Herald—you might conclude that Hastert was speaking heresy, but he wasn't saying anything ugly or even Swiftian. Klaus Jacob seconded Hastert yesterday (Sept. 6) in a Washington Post op-ed. A geophysicist by training, he noted that Katrina wasn't even a worst-case scenario. Had the storm passed a little west of New Orleans rather than a little east, the "city would have flooded faster, and the loss of life would have been greater."
Nobody disputes the geographical and oceanographic odds against New Orleans: that the Gulf of Mexico is a perfect breeding ground for hurricanes; that re-engineering the Mississippi River to control flooding has made New Orleans more vulnerable by denying it the deposits of sediment it needs to keep its head above water; that the aggressive extraction of oil and gas from the area has undermined the stability of its land.
"New Orleans naturally wants to be a lake," St. Louis University professor of earth and atmospheric sciences Timothy Kusky told Time this week. "A city should never have been built there in the first place," he said to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Why was it? Settlers built the original city on a curve of high flood land that the Mississippi River had deposited over eons, hence the nickname "Crescent City." But starting in the late 1800s and continuing into the early 20th century, developers began clearing and draining swamps behind the crescent, even dumping landfill into Lake Pontchartrain to extend the city.
To chart the aggressive reclamation, compare this map from 1798 with this one from 1908. Many of New Orleans' lower-lying neighborhoods, such as Navarre, the Lower Ninth Ward, Lake Terrace, and Pontchartrain Park, were rescued from the low-lying muck. The Lower Ninth Ward, clobbered by Katrina, started out as a cypress swamp, and by 1950 it was only half developed, according to the Greater New Orleans Community Data Center. Even such "high" land as City Park suffered from flooding before the engineers intervened. By the historical standards of the 400-year-old city, many of the heavily flooded neighborhoods are fresh off the boat.
The call to rebuild New Orleans' levee system may be mooted if its evacuated residents decide not to return. The federal government, which runs the flood-insurance business, sold only 85,000 residential and commercial policies—this in a city of 188,000 occupied dwellings. Coverage is limited to $250,000 for building property and $100,000 for personal property. Because the insured can use the money elsewhere, there is no guarantee they'll choose to rebuild in New Orleans, which will remain extra-vulnerable until the levees are rebuilt.
Few uninsured landlords and poor home owners have the wherewithal to rebuild—or the desire. And how many of the city's well-off and wealthy workers—the folks who provide the city's tax base—will return? Will the doctors, lawyers, accountants, and professors have jobs to return to? According to the Wall Street Journal, many businesses are expected to relocate completely. Unless the federal government adopts New Orleans as its ward and pays all its bills for the next 20 years—an unlikely to absurd proposition—the place won't be rebuilt.
Barbara Bush will be denounced as being insensitive and condescending for saying yesterday that many of the evacuees she met in the Astrodome would prefer to stay in Texas. But she probably got it right. The destruction wrought by Katrina may turn out to be "creative destruction," to crib from Joseph Schumpeter, for many of New Orleans' displaced and dispossessed. Unless the government works mightily to reverse migration, a positive side-effect of the uprooting of thousands of lives will to be to deconcentrate one of the worst pockets of ghetto poverty in the United States.
Page One of today's New York Times illustrates better than I can how the economic calculations of individuals battered by Katrina may contribute to the city's ultimate doom:
In her 19 years, all spent living in downtown New Orleans, Chavon Allen had never ventured farther than her bus fare would allow, and that was one trip last year to Baton Rouge. But now that she has seen Houston, she is planning to stay."This is a whole new beginning, a whole new start. I mean, why pass up a good opportunity, to go back to something that you know has problems?" asked Ms. Allen, who had been earning $5.15 an hour serving chicken in a Popeyes restaurant.
New Orleans won't disappear overnight, of course. The French Quarter, the Garden District, West Riverside, Black Pearl, and other elevated parts of the city will survive until the ultimate storm takes them out—and maybe even thrive as tourist destinations and places to live the good life. But it would be a mistake to raise the American Atlantis. It's gone.

There is a correspondence between database and table identifiers
and names in the file system. For the basic structure, MySQL
represents each database as a directory in the data directory,
and each table by one or more files in the appropriate database
directory. For the table format files
.FRM), the data is always stored in this
structure and location.
For the data and index files, the exact representation on disk
is storage engine specific. These files may be stored in the
same location as the
FRM files, or the
information may be stored separate file.
InnoDB data is stored in the InnoDB data
files. If you are using tablespaces with
InnoDB, then the specific tablespace files
you create are used instead.
Any character is legal in database or table identifiers except
0x00). MySQL encodes any
characters that are problematic in the corresponding file system
objects when it creates database directories or table files:
Basic Latin letters (
a..zA..Z) and digits (
0..9) are encoded as is. Consequently, their case sensitivity directly depends on file system features.
All other national letters from alphabets that have uppercase/lowercase mapping are encoded as follows:
Code range Pattern Number Used Unused Blocks ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 00C0..017F [@][0..4][g..z] 5*20= 100 97 3 Latin1 Supplement + Ext A 0370..03FF [@][5..9][g..z] 5*20= 100 88 12 Greek + Coptic 0400..052F [@][g..z][0..6] 20*7= 140 140 137 Cyrillic 0530..058F [@][g..z][7..8] 20*2= 40 38 2 Armenian 2160..217F [@][g..z][9] 20*1= 20 16 4 Number Forms 0180..02AF [@][g..z][a..k] 28*11=220 203 17 Latin Ext B + IPA 1E00..0EFF [@][g..z][l..r] 20*7= 140 136 4 Latin Additional Extended 1F00..1FFF [@][g..z][s..z] 20*8= 160 144 16 Greek Extended .... .... [@][a..f][g..z] 6*20= 120 0 120 RESERVED 24B6..24E9 [@][@][a..z] 26 26 0 Enclosed Alphanumerics FF21..FF5A [@][a..z][@] 26 26 0 Full Width forms
One of the bytes in the sequence encodes lettercase. For example:
LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH GRAVEis encoded as
@0G, whereas
LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVEis encoded as
@0g. Here the third byte (
g) indicates lettercase. (On a case-insensitive file system, both letters will be treated as the same.)
For some blocks, such as Cyrillic, the second byte determines lettercase. For other blocks, such as Latin1 Supplement, the third byte determines lettercase. If two bytes in the sequence are letters (as in Greek Extended), the leftmost letter character stands for lettercase. All other letter bytes must be in lowercase.
All nonletter characters, as well as letters from alphabets that do not have uppercase/lowercase mapping (such as Hebrew) are encoded using hexadecimal representation using lowercase letters for hex digits
0x003F -> @003f 0xFFFF -> @ffff
The hexadecimal values correspond to character values in the
ucs2double-byte character set.
On Windows, some names such as
prn, and
aux are encoded
by appending
@@@ to the name when the server
creates the corresponding file or directory. This occurs on all
platforms for portability of the corresponding database object
between platforms.
If you have databases or tables from a version of MySQL older
than 5.1.6 that contain special characters and for which the
underlying directory names or file names have not been updated
to use the new encoding, the server displays their names with a
prefix of
#mysql50# in the output from
INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables or
SHOW statements. For example, if
you have a table named
a@b and its name
encoding has not been updated,
TABLES displays it like this:
| Tables_in_test |
| #mysql50#a@b |
To refer to such a name for which the encoding has not been
updated, you must supply the
SHOW COLUMNS FROM `a@b`;ERROR 1146 (42S02): Table 'test.a@b' doesn't exist mysql>
SHOW COLUMNS FROM `#mysql50#a@b`;+-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+ | i | int(11) | YES | | NULL | | +-------+---------+------+-----+---------+-------+
To update old names to eliminate the need to use the special prefix to refer to them, re-encode them with mysqlcheck. The following command updates all names to the new encoding:
mysqlcheck --check-upgrade --fix-db-names --fix-table-names --all-databases
To check only specific databases or tables, omit
--all-databases and provide
the appropriate database or table arguments. For information
about mysqlcheck invocation syntax, see
Section 4.5.3, "mysqlcheck — A Table Maintenance Program".
#mysql50# prefix is intended only to be
used internally by the server. You should not create databases
or tables with names that use this prefix.
Also, mysqlcheck cannot fix names that
contain literal instances of the
character that is used for encoding special characters. If you
have databases or tables that contain this character, use
mysqldump to dump them before upgrading to
MySQL 5.1.6 or later, and then reload the dump file after

Staying up to date with your website's analytics can seem like a full-time job. If you use Google Analytics, this past summer you were forced to adopt the newest version. Google Analytics version 5 brought a new interface and new reports. For some, that meant learning where all the reports moved. Aside from the obvious learning curve, many people had to spend more time to accessing simple metrics.
Today's fast-moving business sometimes requires you to do a lot more while you are on-the go. Unfortunately, like most Web-based analytics graphs, the graphs in Google Analytics require Flash to render properly. Adobe Flash doesn't fare so well on mobile browsers, especially those mobile browsers running on Apple mobile devices. So how do you stay connected to your Web analytics while on the go?

Story highlights
NEW: Obama defends Iran policy, says GOP talk is bluster
Iran poses a wide threat, candidates say
Santorum and Romney say there will be no gap between Israel and U.S.
The candidates have criticized a speech President Obama made to the same group
Republican presidential hopefuls and President Barack Obama traded barbs Tuesday over policy toward Iran.
In speeches before a powerful pro-Israel lobby group, Republican candidates promised a stronger line against Iran and a closer relationship with Israel if elected.
Three of the four candidates in the GOP primary spoke separately at the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
Rick Santorum and Mitt Romney used the exact same phrase: If they were president, there would be "no gap" between the United States and Israel.
"As president, I'll treat our allies and friends like friends and allies," Romney said, via satellite.
Both candidates also said they see Iran's threat as much bigger than just against Israel.
"A nuclear Iran is not only a problem for Israel. It is a problem for America, and a problem for the world," Romney said.
Santorum, who appeared in person, said that with nuclear weapons, Iran would be "an existential threat to freedom-loving people around the world, which Iran is."
In remarks Tuesday, Obama shot back, characterizing his potential opponents' as "beating the drums of war."
"Now, what's said on the campaign trail – you know, those folks don't have a lot of responsibilities. They're not commander in chief," he said. "And when I see the casualness with which some of these folks talk about war, I'm reminded of the costs involved in war."
Candidate Newt Gingrich also expressed a harder line, though not as forcefully as his opponents.
Under his watch, the United States would do anything to undermine and replace the Iranian regime short of war, he said.
Santorum described the latest news on Iran – that the United States and other countries have offered to resume negotiations with Tehran over its nuclear program – as appeasement. Such steps are delays that lead Iran to not take the United States seriously, he said.
To that effect, Gingrich said, "We would not keep talking while the Iranians keep building."
Romney also said that there is no room for negotiation with Iran.
"We do not have common interests with a terrorist regime," he said.
"What I have said is that we have a window through which we can resolve this issue peacefully, we have put forward an international framework that is applying unprecedented pressure," Obama said. "The Iranians have just stated that they are willing to return to the negotiating table and we have got the opportunity, even as we maintain that pressure, to see how it plays out."
Romney said that if he were elected, he would seek new sanctions against Iran and enforce current sanctions, including by putting "warships at Iran's door."
"I will bring the current policy of procrastination toward Iran to an end," he said.
Santorum also criticized the Obama administration's relations with Israel.
"From everything I've seen from the conduct of this administration, he has turned his back on the people of Israel," he said.
Gingrich took a wider view of the Middle East, beyond Iran.
He railed against the rise of fundamentalist Islamic militants, and accused the current administration of tiptoeing around the real threat to America.
"We need a fundamental reassessment of our understanding of the threat of radical Islam. We need an administration with the courage to use the words 'radical Islam,'" he said.
"We need to be clear that the teaching of hatred, the recruiting of martyrs, the anticipation that children will grow up to be killers, are not a pattern compatible with a peace process," Gingrich added.
Ron Paul was not scheduled to speak to the group.
During his own speech to AIPAC, Obama said that preventing Iran from developing a nuclear weapon is a national security interest of both Israel and the United States, and he pledged that all options – including a military effort – are on the table.
His Republican contenders jumped on the speech, saying that Obama's rhetoric does not match his actions.
Obama replied Tuesday, "And, you know, when I see some of these folks who have a lot of bluster and a lot of big talk but when you actually ask them specifically what they would do, it turns out they repeat the things that we've been doing over the last three years, it indicates to me that that's more about politics than actually trying to solve a difficult problem."

Many racing legends and innovations have been born on the 160 square mile barren patch known as the Bonneville Salt Flats. The 1950s in particular saw a revolution in the hot-rodding scene that became more aware of the importance of aerodynamics, weight and drag. There were many that still fiercely held on to pure, brute horsepower over anything else– but many moved forward and a new dawn of streamlined dragster designs utilizing plastic and fiberglass bodies were born that changed the face of American racing forever.
The pics are truly amazing. Great speed machines, as well as that classic 1950's style– good grooming topped with denim, khakis, white tees, coveralls and awesome old-school racing graphics. There's also some great video w/insightful commentary at the end– if you can survive the xylophone noodling in the background… Definitely born too late, I was. Photos by J R Eyerman.
Commonly called a "Lakester"– these open-wheeled, tank bodied dragsters were first raced on dry lake beds before the SCTA scene made the move to the Bonneville Salt Flats. This one's sportin' a rear-mounted engine.

The Bonneville Salt Flats, 1954. Racing for bragging rights and a record, and not much more.
"The Outcast"– based on other old pics I've seen, this hot rod may have belonged to Ed "Isky" Iskederian– also known as "The Camfather." Isky started racing at Bonneville back in 1950, and soon became a legend. After returning home from WWII, Isky resumed racing and started grinding cams in his garage, more of an art than a science in those days, and they became one of the top performance cams around. Oh yeah– pinstriping on this bad boy by Von Dutch..
Chet Herbert's streamlined speed machine at Bonneville, 1954. Chet's racing career was ended in 1948, when polio left him confined to a wheelchair. Without missing a beat, Chet focused his racing know-how towards engine performance and became a legendary and ground-breaking innovator– he developed the first roller camshafts, was among the first to use nitromethane fuel after reading about how the Germans used it to power torpedoes in World War II, and developed a header that blew smoke away from a dragster's rear tires to improve traction.
Chet Herbert, a former racer himself, supervises from his wheelchair as they prepare to start his car at Bonneville– September, 1953.
Racing legend Mickey Thompson's twin engine 200 mph dragster at Bonneville, 1954. In 1960, Thompson achieved international fame at the Bonneville Salt Flats when he became the first American to break the 400 mph barrier– hitting 406.60 mph surpassing John Cobb's previous land speed record of 402 mph.
"Streamliners" like the one here were a Bonneville Salt Flats design innovation that pushed speeds ever higher– reaching 200 mph and beyond.
The largest streamliner to race at that time, powered by Le Blanc's Speed Engineering, and judging by the word "plastic" on the side, most likely sports a plastic body — Bonneville Salt Flats, 1954.
Streamliner powered by Le Blanc's Speed Engineering– Bonneville Salt Flats, 1954. The crew has winning on the brain– right down to the badass checkered-flag socks.
The Shadoff Spl. (Special) streamliner– the body was made of fiberglass over a plaster handmade mold. Owner, Mal Hooper himself built it with the help of Herb Francis. Mechanically, the Shadoff did not have any particularly advanced features, and its speed and reliability were mostly due to careful construction and an excellent aerodynamic design. The engine, a Chrysler Hemi sleeved and de-stroked to 301 cid to fit in the class produced about 325 HP. Without much trouble it grabbed the record at 248.26 mph, and even won the Hot Rod award for fastest speed of the meet for its return run at 252.80, which was somewhat odd, considering the car had to slow down when a front tire tread had come off in the measured mile.
Known as the Shadoff Special from the name of its main sponsor, a Pomona Chrysler-Plymouth dealer– it was the last of three streamliners with a body shape designed by Dean Batchelor, and the most successful. Between 1953, the year of its debut, and 1960, when it ran for the last time, it set 15 FIA International records and 3 SCTA records, driven by three different drivers. That was the most consistent harvest of International records ever made by a car built by American hot-rodders. Perhaps even more significant, this streamliner set new records in five of the six years it actually ran.

A different look at Mombasa
Eastern Market and I was hooked after searching to my heart's content through hundreds of amazing, century-old images from around the world. Before iPads, TV, and movie theaters there were stereographs. It's a simple yet brilliant concept: a special camera took two images right next to each other, shifted slightly just the way the image that our two eyes see is shifted. The effect? When you look at a stereograph through special binoculars – a stereoscope – the image becomes 3D! Basic optics, magical result. In the late 19th and early 20th century stereographs were the craze. They were a way to see famous and exotic places come to life in a way that no ordinary photograph could create. They reigned supreme until the arrival of moving pictures but still today have a devoted crowd of enthusiasts – counting me. Read the rest of this entryMeet my latest addition: stereographs.

Still, the price paid for some vulnerabilities suggests that ethically speaking, sellers might be up to no good. As Microsoft threat analyst Terri Forslof has said, "If I'm paying $50,000 for a vulnerability, what am I doing with it? I'm likely not trying to get it patched."
Vulnerabilities are hot in part because they can be weaponized and put to work quite quickly. "It doesn't take much time at all to commoditize a vulnerability into an exploit," said Sean Sullivan, security advisor at F-Secure Labs, in a blog post. For example, he found that the Adobe Flash Player security update (CVE-2012-1535) released Aug. 14, 2012, was followed the very next day by the appearance of in-the-wild attacks that used Microsoft Office Word documents with embedded exploits of the Flash vulnerability. Interestingly, one of the decoy Word documents that employed the Flash exploit was apparently targeting people interested in atomic weapons programs. And by Aug. 17, the exploit was part of the open-source Metasploit vulnerability testing toolkit.
Given the shift from bug bounties to vulnerabilities being used to power digital espionage or offensive operations, why not regulate the sale of dangerous bugs? Of course, new government regulations aren't the solution to every problem. But most governments do regulate the sales of arms so average Joes can't buy rocket launchers or fighter attack jets, unless, of course, they are Larry Ellison. Furthermore, because "cyber warfare" is meant to be the new military frontier, there's no reason not to regulate the buying and selling of zero-day vulnerabilities, at least to ensure they're not being used for nefarious purposes.
Currently, there are no laws against the buying or selling of bugs. "It's important to realize that, however much of an unpleasant taste this might or might not leave in your mouth, none of these people are acting illegally," says Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos, in a blog post. "They've worked hard, using their skills to discover vulnerabilities in software systems. They are not exploiting these security holes themselves, and they aren't breaking the law."
What vexes many security experts is that the details of the bug remain hidden to all but the buyer, thus potentially putting everyone else at risk. Furthermore, what if an unscrupulous third party or foreign government gets its hands on the zero-day and begins using it to attack American businesses or government systems?
According to Soghoian, vulnerability sellers argue that the buying and selling of vulnerabilities should be left to free-market forces. But as he said in his keynote, once other governments begin snapping up zero-days and using them to attack the United States, the U.S. government might suddenly find itself arguing for regulating bug sales on the grounds of self defense. For consumers and businesses that rely on PCs and who don't want to find themselves at the receiving end of an undetectable, zero-day-driven targeted attack, that would be welcome news.

(HealthDay News) -- If you're pregnant or trying, you've probably been told not to smoke.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explains how smoking can affect pregnancy:
- Being a smoker can make getting pregnant more difficult, and can increase the risk of miscarriage.
- Smoking during pregnancy can lead to problems with the placenta, which is baby's source of nourishment and oxygen during pregnancy.
- Smoking may lead to low birth weight or premature birth.
- Smoking during pregnancy may increase the risk of birth defects.
- Smoking while pregnant and after birth can increase the risk of SIDS.

Artwork • August 23rd, 2010 • ssc2010-07c
This artist's concept illustrates an imminent planetary collision around a pair of double stars. NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope found evidence that such collisions could be common around a certain type of tight double, or binary, star system, referred to as RS Canum Venaticorums or RS CVns for short. The stars are similar to the sun in age and mass, but they orbit tightly around each other. With time, they are thought to get closer and closer, until their gravitational influences change, throwing the orbits of planetary bodies circling around them out of whack.
Astronomers say that these types of systems could theoretically host habitable planets, or planets that orbit at the right distance from the star pairs to have temperatures that allow liquid water to exist. If so, then these worlds might not be so lucky. They might ultimately be destroyed in collisions like the impending one illustrated here, in which the larger body has begun to crack under the tidal stresses caused by the gravity of the approaching smaller one.
Spitzer's infrared vision spotted dusty evidence for such collisions around three tight star pairs. In this artist concept's, dust from ongoing planetary collisions is shown circling the stellar duo in a giant disk.

(Reuters) – State-backed China Shipbuilding Industry (601989.SS) plans to raise up to $1.4 billion through a private share sale to buy assets used for building warships, the first time Beijing is tapping the capital market to fund its military expansion.
The move comes as China creates its own military-industrial complex, with the private sector seen taking a key role, as the country gains a new sense of military assertiveness and deals with a growing budget to develop modern equipment including aircraft carriers and drones. Continue reading

Why We Keep Talking About the Holocaust
An interview with Nathan Englander, author of the short-story collection What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank
AP Images
Nathan Englander's debut, For the Relief of Unbearable Urges (1999) met with the kind of success and attention few short story collections receive: a six-figure advance, unfettered acclaim, comparisons to American greats like Roth and Bellow. In a new collection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, Englander returns to the form—and themes—that launched his career.
The title story begins this way: "They're in our house maybe ten minutes and Mark's already lecturing us on the Israeli occupation. Mark and Lauren live in Jerusalem, and people from there think it gives them the right."
The collection's central questions are introduced within this first paragraph—what does it mean to be Jewish? What's the best way to keep a cultural heritage alive—firm orthodoxy or pliable moderation? And who gets to say?
Each of the eight stories in Anne Frank use Jewish characters to broach tough questions about how we build and maintain identity under duress. In "Camp Sundown," a group of elderly Jews harass a man they believe was a Nazi prison camp guard (they eventually plant a flaming Star of David in his yard, a Jewish take on the Ku Klux Klan's burning cross). In "Everything I Know About My Family on My Mother's Side," an apostate named Nathan discovers that a cherished and oft-repeated family touchstone—a WWII story about his grandfather's brother—is not true.
But the book's central image is an alarming, dangerous children's game played by adults. In the title story, the narrator's wife takes her husband and another couple into the darkened pantry to imagine the unimaginable: a war is on, an extermination campaign targeting Jews. They discuss everyone they know. Who would hide them? Who would risks their lives to take them in? In the dark, identity markers—the Levi's jeans, the Hassidic beard—are stripped away. The couples learn who they really are, and the revelations are surprising, irretractable, and terrifying.
It's been a busy year for Englander, who spoke to me by phone from his home in Brooklyn. His first play, a Nora Ephron-directed adaptation of his story "The Twenty-Seventh Man," will debut at New York's Public Theatre in November. He'll also publish his translation of the Haggadah, in collaboration with Jonathan Safran Foer. We talked about his midlife anti-crisis, the way stories and memory work together, and the shelf of sacred books in his apartment that no one is allowed to touch.
What's the oldest story in this collection? The newest?
I wrote most of the book this past year. Five new stories over the last year, or a little more than a year. Then I looked back over time and chose three earlier stories to work into the collection—there's one story from three years ago, one from six years ago, one from 12 years ago.
Your novel, The Ministry of Special Cases, took almost a decade to write and went through many rounds of writing and rewriting. You're known to be something of a maniacal rewriter. Yet you wrote five of the stories in this collection inside a single year. Have you reached a place where you can work more quickly and easily?
Yes. Something's snapped in me. Something's changed. This book represents about 300 years of work for me—there's so much time and effort compressed into it—but I had some kind of epiphanic, early-40s change. Ease is a new wild concept for me. An ease of self. A comfortable way of interacting with my own brain. The whole book feels like a giant exhalation, if that makes sense. It's really strange how your pace can change.
How did you decide which stories belonged in this collection?
A collection shouldn't feel like a cobbled-together group of things that you had around the office. The stories can—and should—stand on their own, but taken together, they should read more like a novel. They need to fit together in a thematic, emotional, or spiritual way.
This book is about ownership of history, and these weird ideas about identity.I was living in Germany a couple years ago, on Lake Wannsee—where the Wannsee Conference took place and the Final Solution was put into effect. And living there allowed me to become more comfortable with thematic material that's always interested me—injustice, totalitarianism, unfairness, the idea of Nazism. You see these ideas playing through stories in the collection. Obviously, I've been comfortable with Jewish themes—they're everywhere in my work. But I think there's a new comfort here.
I use the example of Nabokov publishing Lolita—you know, people probably didn't want him to babysit afterwards [laughs]. But you have to be comfortable with wherever your head is at, and own the material you want to work with.
What's the origin of the pantry game in the title story? Is it a real game people play?
It came from my sister. It's a game that's very much not a game.
I grew up in a community that raised children in the shadow that a second holocaust could happen at any time, anywhere. I was very much raised with this idea and this feeling and this belief—we're nothing if not paranoid. But, of course, it does happen. The Jews were comfortable in Germany. People were comfortable in Rwanda. Look at Iraq—look how, very suddenly, your country can just turn into hellfire. People are always comfortable until they are uncomfortable.
It was 20 years ago, half my life ago, but I remember my sister saying about someone—"he would hide us, and she would turn us in." And it stuck with me for two decades. Because she was right, and I knew it in my heart. This feeling comes through in the ending of the story: the acknowledgment that, if the world changed in a moment, I know someone who would really risk his life to save me. And I know someone who would really turn us in.
The title story overtly references Raymond Carver's classic short work, "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love." There are clear structural and thematic links between his story and yours, and several implanted allusions. What was your process of using Carver's work as a template?
It's funny, because I couldn't wrap my head around this kind of influence for a large hunk of my life—the gesture of layering one story over another story. How can you write West Side Story when it's Romeo and Juliet? That's not your story to write—that's Romeo and Juliet! And I love West Side Story, but I deeply believe that story is infinite. I'm terrified by people who think otherwise. If you believe everything under the sun has already been written, well—I rarely recommend that you kill yourself [laughs], but if that is truly the world that a person lives in, honestly, life is not worth living.
Anyway, there was something about interacting with work in that direct way that was really upsetting to me. And I started to think about people who were comfortable with that, thinking about ownership, and owning material.
The idea of the story first comes from my sister's game—I've been carrying that story in my head for 20 years. And then I suddenly this pictured this pantry, and these couples. As it took form, I started to think: what about laying it over [Carver's] story?
How directly did you work with Carver's original as you wrote?
I didn't reread it for a long time, so I was working with my memory of the story. This is another big theme of the book—the way memories form into stories.
This is something that's particular to fiction. You watch a movie and it becomes a movie in your head, but you don't remember it and mistake it for a memory. Only with writing do people say—when did that happen to me?—and then realize they read it in a book. It's because you construct what you read in your mind, and if a written reality is successful, it becomes a memory. Not remembered, a memory. That's how story functions.
So I was echoing "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love," but not the story that you'd find in a bookstore. It was the story as it existed in my memory. I probably hadn't read the original since I was [a fiction student at the Iowa Writers' Workshop] in the middle-90s—it had been 15 years! But I took the basics, as I remembered them—the daylight changing, two couples drinking and arguing around a table.
I love this idea—the way any story is an amalgam between the written version and your own experience. We could have a contest where people draw the kitchen table in my story, or in Carver's, and everyone would depict it differently. The round table you had growing up, or plates on the wall in your grandmother's kitchen—these details work themselves into the way you imagine the story. And that was what I was working with: not Carver's story specifically, but my memory of his story. The story as I own it. My version.
Once it took form, I decided I was really going to own it—I'm going to give it this echo, I'm going to give it an allusive title, I'm going to make this clear. Then I went back to the original, to marry the two to each other and totally weave them.
The characters in the title story debate to what degree the Holocaust acts as a kind of cultural glue—a horrific, but necessary reminder that fosters solidarity and helps Jewish identity persevere. Do you take a position on this?
It's not a book exploring the Holocaust—but for me it's interest in the idea of the Holocaust, how it's harnessed, how it's used, and how it's abused. When people tell you, "that's what our memory means, and you're betraying this idea"—that's the moment I want to explore.
So arguments based upon a rhetoric of ownership especially interest you? I see this in the title story—the two couples argue about how to be Jewish in "the right way."
Oh, absolutely! And you see this everywhere. Look at what's happening in America now. I'm sort of obsessed with it as I watch all the Republican debates—the idea of people making claims about what it means to inhabit an identity. So little of the stuff that's happening here in America doesn't surprise me because I've been there in Israel. [Englander spent many years living in Jerusalem.] I'm really familiar with this kind of politics.
I think, almost to a person, anyone who calls themselves a "patriot" seems to be trying to dismantle the America that the founding fathers were dreaming of. This claim of patriotism seems to be saying that government is a problem, and we should do our best to dismantle government and the services that government provides. Everyone's screaming "I'm an American, I'm an American," but the people screaming it loudest seem to have the weakest grasp of what America is and was intended to be. The claim seems to be: this country's turning socialist, so let's revert to feudalism.
In Israel, I've had this fight a million times. The best part of living in Israel, which has many downsides, is that when you come back to America and you're in some giant argument with a bunch of other Jews, you get to say: I live there. Which loosely translates to "shut the fuck up."
Though Jewish identity is clearly of central importance to your work, you reject the "Jewish writer" designation. Why is that?
I've always felt this way, but I've finally formed a clear answer in my head after 15 years. People always say "you're a Jewish writer," but for me there is no divide. I'm Jewish. And I'm a writer. I talk about this with my writer friends who get different versions of the same thing—"Let's hear the black writer question. Let's hear the gay writer question." Nora [Ephron] says she's been fighting being called a "woman director" her whole career—why not call her what she really is, a badass director?
People always ask me "How did Judiasm work its way into this or that story," that kind of thing. But no one's asking Denis Johnson how being a Christian affected Jesus' Son. "How has Christianity affected the crushing of the little bunnies?" [He's referencing a plot point in Denis Johnson's short story "Emergency."]The real question should be—how does being alive in the world, as a human being, spark your creativity? We talk about the constructs that divide people, but experience is universal.
The point is, these characters aren't "Jewish people" to me. If it's okay with everyone, if we could all just see them as people—that would be great. I understand that some amount of categorization is unavoidable, everyone has to do it. It's how we make order. But don't expect me to represent my work as genre fiction.
Last question. Do you have a favorite bookshelf, and what's on it?
My one beloved shelf that I love to look at has Chris Adrian, Alexander Hemon, [Thomas Mann's] The Magic Mountain, [Isaac Bashevis] Singer, [Bernard Malamud's] The Magic Barrel, Black Boy by Richard Wright, John Cheever, The Brothers Karamazov, the love stories of Yehuda Amachi in Hebrew, Marilynne Robinson's Home in Hebrew. And Marilynne Robinson's copy of the New Testament that she gave me when I left Iowa. It's a crazy shelf!
That's one of the shelves, when you come to the house—don't read the books from that shelf. Those aren't touching books. Go in the bedroom—they're triple-packed in there. Take what you want, you don't need to bring them back.

Earlier this month, Acciona announced plan to install a floating wind turbine prototype — Spain's first — in the Bay of Biscay 2013.
In a sign of its committment to develop a floating wind turbine platform, Accciona said this will not affect its commitment to installing two further floating models — 1.5MW and 3MW — at the so called Zèfir Offshore Test Centre in Catalonian waters.
The Spanish turbine manufacturer's assurances to Windpower Monthly come after domestic competitor Gamesa froze plans to install its first offshore prototype in Virginia, USA — a 5MW machine with fixed seabed foundations — in favour of a quayside site in Spain's Canary Islands.
Nevertheless, like Acciona, Gamesa also maintains its other offshore plans in Spain. Each company signed contracts last year with Zèfir's semi public developer, the Catalonian Research Institute (IREC), to install two floating machines in the test centre's second phase sometime after 2013, additional to prototypes with fixed seabed foundations planned for end-2012. Additionally, Alstom Wind plans to float its next generation Haliade 6MW turbine.
Acciona's staying power is aided by subsidies. The €19.8 million Biscay project, called HiPRWind, is backed not only by 18 other European companies but also €11 million EU funding. Similarly, Zefir's floating phase, which IREC hopes to start building before end-2014, was shortlisted in March for a €30 million grant through the EU's NER300 programme.

Hackers broke into the computer systems of Sony Pictures entertainment in October. The attackers stole huge swaths of confidential documents from the Hollywood studio and posted them online in the following weeks -- exposing them to everyone from potential cybercriminals to journalists who have been poring through the documents and reporting everything from the details of recent film productions to the extent of the employee data laid vulnerable on the Internet.
Multiple reports suggest U.S. government officials believe the attack is tied to the North Korean government, who expressed outrage over the Sony-backed film "The Interview," an action-comedy centered on an assassination plot against North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Sony Pictures canceled the theatrical release of the film Wednesday, responding to a vague threat against theaters showing the film supposedly posted by the hackers. Here's what we know so far:
What happened?
The Monday before Thanksgiving, Sony Pictures employees who tried to log into their computers were greeted with a graphic of a neon red skeleton featuring the words "#Hacked by #GOP," and a threat to release data later that night if an unspecified request was not met. Over the coming weeks multiple statements purported to be from GOP, short for "Guardians of Peace," were posted online -- many to a text-sharing site called PasteBin, which is also used by some hactivist groups.
The messages were often accompanied by links to download huge amounts of what appears to be data from Sony Pictures' internal networks. In a memo shortly after the first leaks were obtained by the Hollywood Reporter, Sony Pictures executives Michael Lynton and Amy Pascal acknowledged the theft of a " large amount of confidential" data:
While we are not yet sure of the full scope of information that the attackers have or might release, we unfortunately have to ask you to assume that information about you in the possession of the company might be in their possession.
The same day as the attack, the FBI released a flash memo warning about a destructive type of malware. As late as this week there are reports that that Sony employees are still unable to use their old computers due to concerns that code left by the hackers may not have been completely removed from the system.
Who was responsible?
Attribution is really hard when it comes to cyberattacks because it can be difficult to tie the digital forensics left behind to real-world actors, but the leading theory is that the attack is tied in some way to the North Korean government. On Wednesday The Washington Post, the New York Times and others reported that anonymous U.S. officials were pointing the finger at the secretive nation.
One official briefed on the investigation told The Post that intelligence officials believe with "99 percent certainty" that hackers working for the North Korean government were behind the attack. But the administration is reportedly unsure what to do with that information -- fearing no good outcome could come from pointing figures at the secretive state: North Korea is diplomatically isolated, and there are already significant sanctions in place.
North Korean officials have officially denied involvement in the attack, but did call it a "righteous" deed and suggested it may have been the work of supporters of the regime.
Because of the difficulty of positively identifying cyber actors, the United States rarely names nation-state actors it suspects of being behind cybersecurity incidents. An exception occurred earlier this year, when the Department of Justice announced indictments against several Chinese military employees it said were tied to cyberespionage activities against American companies. Officials are also said to be concerned about the diplomatic fallout for Japan -- Sony is based in Japan, and the nation is much closer to North Korea geographically than the United States.
The North Korean link was speculated early on, when tech news site re/Code reported that investigators were looking into the possibility of a link. After that report, messages purported to be from the hackers alluded to "The Interview" -- first saying that Sony needed to stop "the movie of terrorism," and later explicitly mentioning the film while invoking the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and threatening theaters that planned to show the film.
Technical details about the cyberattack are reported to bear similarities to previous attacks on South Korean media institutions that some cybersecurity experts attributed to North Korea. But some remain skeptical about the connection, noting that much of the publicized evidence linking the attacks is circumstantial.
How has Sony Pictures responded?
The studio canceled plans to release "The Interview" theatrically on Wednesday, after a string of major theater chains had indicated they planned not to show the film. It's unclear if the film will receive any distribution at all.
Earlier this week, a lawyer representing Sony Pictures sent a letter to media outlets covering documents leaked by the hackers demanding that they not download future leaks and that they destroy stolen data already in their custody. It appears unlikely that this will stop outlets from reporting on the content of the documents; a 2001 Supreme Court decision said a radio station couldn't be held responsible for broadcasting newsworthy audio recordings even if those recordings were originally made by someone in violation of wiretapping laws.
Sony Pictures is also trying to block distribution of the stolen data, hiring companies such as London-based anti-piracy firm Entura International to quickly remove links to download the information. The studio has been working with the FBI and cybersecurity firm FireEye to investigate the breach.
This is not the first time Sony has struggled with cybersecurity. In 2011, the company's PlayStation Network was compromised by hackers who stole the personal information of millions of gamers and knocked the network offline for weeks. The company is facing lawsuits from former employees alleging Sony was negligent in protecting the personal data workers entrusted it with -- such as medical data, social security numbers, e-mail correspondence and performance evaluations. (The company has offered a year of credit monitoring to current employees.)
How big a deal is this?
While the news has been dominated by big retail hacks over the past year, the Sony Pictures cyberattack was much more disruptive: It knocked out computer systems at the company, and the fallout from the wholesale distribution of internal documents is far different from having to respond to the theft of credit card numbers.
Many within the cybersecurity community hope this will act as a wake-up call to the companies about their vulnerability to digital adversaries -- both in terms of beefing up their current defenses and their back-up capabilities.
Some area also concerned about the precedent set by capitulating to the hacker's demands to stop the release of "The Interview," noting that the attackers have effectively managed to get their way by controlling the conversation. What happens if other groups adopt similar tactics to advance their agendas?
Many celebrities have tweeted their worries about what this means for the future of free speech and artistic expression, and they probably have point: In the wake of the cyberattack, another studio has reportedly pulled the plug on a film that was to be set in North Korea and to star Steve Carrell, according to Deadline.

Cioppino, that marvelous Italian-American seafood stew with roots in San Francisco, is not hard to make. But a luxurious cioppino typically uses many types of seafood — crab, mussels, scallops, shrimp, squid, halibut — which does not exactly make it weeknight (or wallet) friendly.
This version uses shortcuts and a limited amount of seafood, mostly fish fillets. Choose whatever firm fish is on sale (the freezer case is a good place to start): mahi-mahi, cod and halibut are good choices. Likewise, buy all-white crabmeat, not the pricier lump; it's basically shredded and will help thicken the stew.
If you've got frozen shrimp on hand (we did), throw a few in at the end.
We added mushrooms to replace some of the texture supplied by the (missing) squid and scallops. Prepared condiments are used as time-savers, but feel free to chop your own onions, peppers and garlic, knowing that these also will require additional prep and cooking time.
Serve your cioppino with a crusty bread that can withstand a dunk into the stew.
A cheaper cioppino
Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes
Makes: 4 servings
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 cups frozen chopped onions
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon Italian herb blend
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon each: salt, dried red pepper flakes
Freshly ground black pepper
2 cans (16 ounces each) diced tomatoes, with their liquid
1/3 cup red wine or to taste
3 fillets firm fish (12 ounces total), such as mahi-mahi, cod or halibut, cut in chunks
1 jar (6 ounces) roasted red peppers, drained, coarsely chopped
1 can (6 ounces) all-white crabmeat
8 to 12 frozen cooked shrimp, tail removed, optional
1 teaspoon sugar, optional
Chopped fresh parsley
1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat; add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in mushrooms, herb blend, garlic, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper to taste; cook until mushrooms are softened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and wine; heat to a boil.
2. Stir in the fish, making sure pieces are submerged; lower heat so mixture remains at a slow boil. Cook until fish is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in roasted red peppers, crabmeat and shrimp, if using. Heat until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Taste; if stew is too acidic, stir in sugar. Serve, topped with parsley.

Abbotsford Serviced Apartments Definition
The best way to define a serviced apartment is to look at what international and national serviced provider say about their apartments:
At Quest Apartments for example, they offer "classy Australia accommodation". You can truly enjoy the intimacy of your own apartment, at your favorite destination. Their spacious, stylishly-appointed and well-serviced apartments are far superior to any average hotel in Australia. Quest serviced apartments in Australia are offered on a short and long term basis, making Quest an excellent alternative to the traditional hotel accommodation. Why stay in a hotel when you can have your own superb apartment for the same price?
Another provider we work a lot with: Oakwood Corporate Housing. This provider has several brands including the Oakwood Residences and the Oakwood Premier. The Oakwood Residences brand represents serviced apartments that combine the spacious comfort of a private home with many of the services of a hotel. Each location provides all of the comforts of Oakwood Apartments, plus the addition of distinctive features that may include a 24-hour front desk, airport pickup, daily housekeeping, an onsite restaurant, and designer home furnishings. Oakwood Residences often have larger apartments, ideal for families.
The other Oakwood brand is Oakwood Premier. This brand marries the most elegant apartments with luxury hotel service, and is designed for the upscale international traveler.

Distinctive from a hotel, the serviced apartments at Oakwood Premier locations are designed for extended-stay guests. Oakwood is well-equipped to handle the needs of relocating families, with services such as school placement, hospital referrals, and a guest activities program.
Far away from the Oakwood concept, we have "Shama", and as they call themself, "a lifestyle provider". Shama's philosophy is to provide serviced apartments that epitomize comfort, style and luxury. In every Shama city and at each Shama location, they adhere to four absolute tenets:

From a boutique serviced apartment provider to a global serviced apartment provider such as The Ascott Group and its 4 brands, it's always interesting to see how they differ when it comes to offering and concept. Let's look at that from the Ascott perspective, with "The Ascott Brand":

D-R athlete Kyle Arieta enjoys special day at Gillette Stadium
FOXBORO — It was all about Dighton-Rehoboth senior student-athlete Kyle Arieta on Thursday.
The Falcon football and track and field star was invited to a special day at Gillette Stadium by the Kraft Family and the New England Patriots Charitable Foundation.
Last year, Arieta was diagnosed and treated for a brain tumor, stemming from a blockage near his brain. Months later, he returned to the gridiron for his senior season of football after undergoing a surgery last May.
Little did Arieta know, his favorite football player — Patriots defensive end Chandler Jones — would pay him and his entire family a special visit.
"Unbelievable," Arieta said. "Nothing what I expected. I couldn't asked for anything more."
Jones himself was touched by Arieta's comeback and story.
"It's remarkable ... phenomenal," Jones said. "For him to overcome what he had, that just shows how strong he is to come back and even play again. To see him back to his normal self, it's just great."
Both video scoreboards at Gillette Stadium read "Welcome Kyle Arieta to Gillette Stadium."
"It's absolutely amazing to see the New England Patriots care about the people in the community and their fans," Arieta said. "Just awesome. I'm speechless."
Arieta and his family were taken on the field for pictures.
Jones then snuck up during a photo session and presented Arieta with a gift bag.
He then autographed a football and presented it to Arieta.
"Just the impact I could have on him, I enjoyed every minute of it," Jones said. "I was probably more excited seeing him than he was with me."
Jones was also touched by Arieta's support toward him.
"It feels good," Jones said. "When I walked out here and saw him wearing my jersey, I was happy. For me, just going into to my third year and supporting a high school athlete like Kyle is a great feeling."
Arieta and his family were then treated to a visit at the Patriots Hall of Fame.
On a picture perfect day, he was smiling for ear-to-ear.
"Football kept me going," Arieta said. "I knew my senior year was coming up in football and I needed to be on the field for my teammates."
The young man has come a long way indeed.
Jones had this final word to say about Arieta.
"It just shows how strong he is — mentally, spiritually and physically," Jones said. "I'm happy for him and proud of him."
Coming soon: Arieta's fight to get back on the gridiron
