As we get closer and closer to the release of '1989,' Taylor Swift is busy making the rounds, popping by 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' for two epic performances and more.
The classic Halloween song 'Monster Mash' is getting a makeover.
We've heard all about Taylor Swift's '1989' Secret Sessions, but now, Swifties, there's video. Eek!
In news that should delight horror fans, 'The Conjuring 2' has officially secured the return of director James Wan. His involvement with the sequel was up in the air since he left horror behind to direct 'Fast and Furious 7,' but the genre that gave him his start has pulled him back in ... and we're happy to have him back.
Here's the mother of all Halloween costumes.
A gunman opened fire at a Seattle-area high school Friday morning, injuring multiple students before killing himself.
Lansing Manor is located in North Blenheim, NY, and a demonstration of what is possible when the historic value of a location is realized from an early date.
The music video for 'Steal My Girl' is FINALLY here, Directioners!
Lady Gaga helped a fan propose on stage during one of her concerts, and the sweet moment was all captured on the fan video above.
What's more offensive? A little girl dropping the F-bomb or the sexist way society treats girls and women?
Although original director James Wan has left the franchise to move onto a little movie called 'Fast and Furious 7,' the 'Insidious: Chapter 3' trailer shows that this awesomely bonkers horror franchise is still in good hands. Series screenwriter Leigh Whannell is now in the director's chair and he definitely seems to have picked up a thing or two from his old collaborator.
Watch Mikey Wax's epic mashup of Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' and Meghan Trainor's 'All About That Bass'!

FIFA backs revamp of corruption investigation body
FIFA will change the way it investigates corruption and is prepared to examine any "credible" evidence of past wrongdoing, president Sepp Blatter said Friday.
AP Sports Writer
FIFA will change the way it investigates corruption and is prepared to examine any "credible" evidence of past wrongdoing, president Sepp Blatter said Friday.
Hailing a "historic day for FIFA's reform process" after a series of scandals, Blatter said it would revamp its ethics committee to create separate investigating and prosecuting units with new, independent leaders.
Blatter said the proposal presented by FIFA's anti-corruption adviser Mark Pieth got strong backing from his executive committee, some of whom have recently been cleared of corruption allegations by the existing - and often maligned - ethics body.
"Unanimously they agreed to this new approach in our, let's say, efforts for more transparency and integrity," Blatter said at a news conference announcing efforts in a promised two-year drive to clean up the world soccer body.
Still, Pieth's sharp criticism of FIFA's past investigative failings was not directly addressed and the timetable for much of his suggested reform program was pushed to 2013.
FIFA's reputation has been rocked by claims of bribery and vote-rigging that marred FIFA's presidential election campaign last year and voting in 2010 for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.
The credibility of Blatter's organization was also harmed when the existing, single-chamber ethics committee failed to gather enough evidence to prosecute some allegations.
"FIFA has ... shown a lack of pro-active and systematic follow-up on allegations," Pieth wrote in a report submitted to FIFA on behalf of his 13-member expert panel advising on transparency and clean government. "In some instances, allegations were insufficiently investigated."
The revamped ethics court could start work immediately after being approved by FIFA's 208 member nations in May.
"The new ethics committee will have the possibility to initiate investigation in case of credible allegations," Blatter said.
Pieth, a former United Nations investigator, recommended in his report that the new ethics body's "procedures and organizational measures will be applicable to past behavior."
One of Pieth's fundamental demands looks likely to be met, with FIFA set to allow outsiders unconnected to Blatter's so-called "football family" to oversee the judicial process. They will also have power to screen potential FIFA officials for integrity.
FIFA said Pieth will choose three candidates - which he suggested should be "truly independent persons of high standing and expertise" -to chair each of the investigative and judging chambers. Member countries will vote at the May 25 congress in Budapest, Hungary.
FIFA also will ask its congress to approve an audit and compliance committee exerting tighter financial controls on the world governing body, which shares much of its billion-dollar income with its member federations.
FIFA did not immediately accept Pieth's suggestion that the audit committee should decide, and publish, the president's salary.
On Friday, FIFA announced it made a profit of $36 million in 2011 and increased its reserves to $1.3 billion.
FIFA also is setting aside $100 million to insure the salaries of all players against injury on official national team duty. FIFA says the policy should take effect on Sept. 1, and will cover all matches played on FIFA international calendar dates.
Blatter said the congress also should choose FIFA's first female member of the executive committee, which is currently a 24-man panel. The member is expected to be voted by acclaim at the 2013 FIFA Congress.
Pieth's panel appears to have much work remaining to oversee FIFA's overhaul in the next 14 months.
Pieth's team includes former Watergate investigator Michael Hershman, Britain's former attorney-general Peter Goldsmith and Alexandra Wrage, a Canadian expert in anti-bribery compliance.
They are monitoring three FIFA task forces whose detailed work relating to statutes, transparency and compliance, and ethics was largely glossed over Friday in Blatter's news conference.
A newly drafted code of ethics for soccer officials, referenced in Pieth's report, and his proposal to limit all executive committee members to two, four-year terms also were stalled.
FIFA's former anti-corruption partner Transparency International said in a statement that Blatter's organization had failed to follow through on its promises.
"We are disappointed. We had expected a more comprehensive introduction of new procedures," said TI's sports adviser Sylvia Schenk, who walked away from FIFA's process last November. "Too much is still unclear and key issues, such as investigations into the past allegations of corruption, have not been properly addressed."

floor mats
Reviewed By Hiep D (Sugar Land, TX) Reviewed for a 2007 Hyundai Veracruz —11/19/2009 9:47 PM
Fit very well and very happy with the look.
Reviewed By Nicole D (HOBOKEN, NJ) —1/27/2014 8:38 AM
The product came well packaged and on time. I am really enjoying the weathertech mats especially with the cold, and snow in the northeast this winter. They fit perfectly, were easy to install and help hold all the water, snow, and salt within the mat to avoid getting the rest of the car dirty. I will continue to buy weathertech in the future.

Recently we stayed the Renaissance Center during DetCon, the North American Science Fiction Convention. We had a great time at the convention and we really enjoyed staying in the Ren Cen. On the first evening of our stay, we headed up to the seventy something floor and had drinks and an appetizer at Coach Insignia.
For our appetizer, we tried the short rib arancini, which are balls of risotto stuffed with short rib meat, coated with bread crumbs and then deep fried. It was served with a lovely sauce and a nice little salad. Dave had a blackberry Manhattan and I had a creamsicle martini.
While the food and drinks were good, the view was even better!

5 Things That Went Wrong for New York Mets in 2014
5 Things That Went Wrong for New York Mets in 2014
At this point in the season, all is lost for the New York Mets reaching the postseason in 2014. The Mets have had a number of problems throughout the season that have once again doomed them to finish with a losing record for the sixth year in a row. While this isn't everything that prevented the Mets from being a more competitive team this season, here are five things that went wrong for the Mets in 2014.
5. Signed Chris Young Too Early
5. Signed Chris Young Too Early
Sandy Alderson signed Young way too early in the offseason and gave him way too much money, and that was the start of the Mets' issues. Promising over $ 7 million to a player coming off the worst year of his career was an awful decision, and if the Mets hadn't done that, they could have stayed in the running to sign Nelson Cruz later in the offseason. He could have helped solve several of their problems.
4. Matt Harvey and Bobby Parnell Injuries
4. Matt Harvey and Bobby Parnell Injuries
In this sense, the Mets' season ended before it began. Losing Harvey at the end of last season took the wind out of the Mets' sails for 2014, and while the rotation has been fine without him, he's obviously a game changer when he's at his best. The bullpen has ultimately been fine without Parnell, but that wasn't the case at first. A healthy Parnell would have made the pitching staff that much stronger.
3. The Kyle Farnsworth & Jose Valverde Era
3. The Kyle Farnsworth & Jose Valverde Era
When Bobby Parnell went down, the Mets made the mistake of thinking Kyle Farnsworth and Jose Valverde could get the job done at the back end of the bullpen. They didn't, and before the Mets could put Jenrry Mejia and Jeurys Familia in major roles in the bullpen, Farnsworth and Valverde blew a lot of games. If those games had been wins for the Mets, they may still be in contention approaching September.
2. Gave Ruben Tejada Another Chance
2. Gave Ruben Tejada Another Chance
Sandy Alderson did not bring in any alternative to Tejada to play shortstop for the Mets this season, and Wilmer Flores doesn't count. Tejada was terrible in April, and even when he was playing well, he was a barely passable major league shortstop. Having such a huge void at a key position cost the Mets, and not having some kind of competition for Tejada or a backup plan was a huge mistake.
1. Still No Power
1. Still No Power
At times, the Mets' offensive issues have been profound, and at the center of the problem is the team's lack of power, as they rank 26th in baseball in home runs and 29th in slugging. Outside of Lucas Duda and Curtis Granderson (for a couple months), the Mets have not hit the ball out of the park. This is a problem for a team that can't string consecutive hits, and that's been a big part of the team's demise.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Moving beyond passwords
If you're considering a smart card, USB token or some other method of doing strong authentication, it's important to know that not all devices provide the same level of security.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cryptographic Module Validation Program, started in 1995, tests cryptographic modules for conformance to Federal Information Processing Standards. According to the program's Web site, "This standard is applicable to all federal agencies that use cryptographic-based security systems to protect sensitive information in computer and telecommunication systems (including voice systems)." The modules are rated from a low of Level 1 to a high of Level 4. So far, no module has an overall rating of 4. Elaine Palmer, senior technical staff member and manager of secure embedded operating systems at IBM Corp., said her company is working to achieve a Level 4 encryption, but conceded that not everyone will need it. "We obviously want to be able to offer the highest level of confidence that's possible even though not every application will require Fort Knox-level security," she said. To access the current validation list, go to csrc.nist.gov/cryptval.

Noted Electronic Fartist Aphex Twin Releases 'Syro' Album Art and a Press Release for the AgesWarp
Earlier this week, the Aphex Twin logo started showing up around London, New York, and Los Angeles, starting speculation that influential '90s electronic music artist Richard D. James would be releasing a new album for the first time in 13 years. But unlike his Warp label-mates Boards of Canada, who practically invented the modern cryptic promo, James didn't make us wait too long before officially announcing his sixth studio album, Syro, albeit via the deep web. And as of today, we have a track list and a release date (September 23), but more importantly, some user-hostile album art that puts Yeezus to shame and a press release that, if there were any justice in this world, would render the art of the press release extinct.
Whenever one of the most celebrated and influential electronic fartist, Richard D. James can compete with the music flip to influence built. The better part of a decagon, James Polygon Window, Caustic Window, GAK and maintain, including `Aphex Twin has unreleased music under several thousand monikers great pace.
Began in the late 1780s and 90s during a turn in its manufacturing and technical skills, and nikharana Cornwallo, England grows, James, as a young maniton in various shops started DJing. Area of various musical score, James Analogue Booblebath EP was released in 1891, the results of the first series, he decided to record his gown music. Another influential London radio station piss FM's attention, and then label immediately signed him to their rooster, then post & poplieereRS. That same year, James Acid shithouse to promote the song and trying to lift Grant Wilson-CLARIDGE on a biscuit founded his label Rephlex Records. Selekted Flambient Works moving to London and Release 85-92: After a while, the two main points to be made, round the bend
And so on. Is it an auto-correct disaster? Not unless James's iPhone has memorized the word "Booblebath." A cheerful declination to form real English words about James's music, much of the enjoyment of which comes from its ineffability? More likely. The anti-promo promo continues with the Syro cover art, which in stark black-and-white text itemizes the album's marketing budget, per unit, in pounds sterling.
Anyway, if you're not totally amped yet, this would be the part where I embed Chris Cunningham's 2005 "Rubber Johnny" video (briefly NSFW, entirely NSFLife), but I'll let you decide for yourself how many nightmares you want tonight. Either way, it's exciting to have James back in our now EDM-saturated musical universe; it's been a second. The better part of a decagon, at least.
