Fort Campbell Welcomes Home 186 Soldiers of the 2nd Brigade Combat Team and the 716th Military Police Battalion
Fort Campbell, KY – An early morning flight into Campbell Army airfield on Fort Campbell, Kentucky brought 186 soldiers home to the families in time for the Christmas holidays. The flight included 151 Strike Advisory Team soldiers, and 35 soldiers from the 716th Military Police Battalion.
The soldiers were returning from a nine-month deployment to Regional Command East in Afghanistan, where they continued the process of readying the Afghan National Security Forces for the 2014 withdrawal of American troops from Afghanistan.
The flight arrived 24 hours after it was originally expected as a result of inclement weather in Shannon in County Clare, Ireland.
The Personnel Processing Center was filled to capacity as loved ones of the arriving soldiers eagerly waited for the flight to come in, and 15 minutes before the flight arrived the family members were allowed to proceed outdoors to wait on for a chance to see the flight bearing their loved ones arrive.
Wife Debbie Threadgill and mom Karen Gattis were on hand waiting for Capt. Eric Threadgill to return home on this flight. "We are so excited, and happy he is returning home to us," Debbie said. "I just can't wait to see him! He is coming back home just in time for Christmas, it's a great present!" I asked them what he was most looking forward to what he was home again, "He's looking forward to drinking a Corona when he gets home", said Debbie. "He just wants a cold beer" chimed in mother Karen. While Eric was overseas keeping in touch via the Internet was a breeze said Debbie, "We would Facebook or Message, and we've Skyped a few times. So keeping in touch was not too bad."
Maintaining lines of communication with those back at home is very important for the troops when they are deployed. "Keeping the families well informed is so important," said Sgt. Joe Padula, the 2nd Brigade Combat Team's Public Affairs Officer. "If not, then the rumor mill start to happen, and that's when wrong or misleading information begins to spread. So it is vital for us to make sure that the right information from downrange from Regional Command East gets to us, so we can then disseminate it to the family members to ensure that they are well informed because they are such a vital part of the Strike family."
He continued, "We have multiple tools at our disposal to accomplish that, the video teleconferencing system, phone contact by military lines, and lo and behold in today's day and age the social networking world is another great way to stay in contact with everyone, while minding operational security still saying, hey, how you doing; and can't wait to see you. It's pretty good. You get to see some of the pictures that they post up there, and read about some of great stuff that they are doing."
But making sure the process works both direction is just as important, "Making sure that the soldier on the ground knows what's going on back home, knows what he's over there fighting for it, making sure that he knows that his home is safe. And that is so important to the mission, because it helps keep his mind focused in the right place. If he's worrying about what's going on back home, he can't keep his full focus on the mission over there. So making sure that they have enough information on what's going on back home is imperative to the mission down there."
Suzie Liberatore was also there waiting for her husband Christopher, "It feels really good for to know he's coming home. I am full of excitement and nerves! "When the plane touches down, I'm going to be so excited, I will be screaming!," she said. "You know, they still have to go in turn in their weapons and stuff, once they get through the Welcome Home Ceremony, but after that it's golden!" Christopher is looking forward to going home to New York for Christmas, "That's what were from so we're going back up there. We're probably going to the Great Smokey Mountains for New Year's."
Natasha Perez was waiting with her 3 children Carly, Corbin, and Dylan for her husband Staff Sgt. Perez to come back home to them. "It's the best present ever," Natasha said. The kids chimed in, "Yeah." While daughter Carly feels that it is going to be "nice to have him back," for the younger kids, there is an element of fear as one of the boys added that he is going to be a little "Scared!" To which mom Natasha asked, "Scared, Yeah?"
That is a valid concern because no matter how much you love each other a deployment can change a soldier, and families have to work together to cope with those changes. A soldier may have seen or done things that have changed them during the time overseas, and not always for the better. Both the families and the soldiers are given the integration briefs which are designed to help them recognize and cope with any issues that may arise.
Mom Jackie Smith and sister Laura Hess were waiting for Michael Hess. This no way to describe the relief that we will feel said Jackie, "There's no words for it. I am speechless I can't wait! I want to see his boots on the ground. It's going to be a very emotional moment."
The family is from Minnesota and Michael will be looking forward to all that comes with that. "He's mentioned pine trees," said Jackie and "snowboarding" added sister Laura.
The flight touched down around 2:56am to the cheers of the soldier's loved ones. After landing the plane taxied to the disembarking point, where the passenger boarding stairs were moved in position. Cheers rose again when the door to the plane opened; and again when the first soldiers appeared in the door. After deplaning as the soldiers walked slowly to the terminal; every soldier's eyes were focused on the crowd searching for their loved ones. The crowd was doing the same, and as those in the crowd spotted their soldier, they shouted out his or her name to attract their attention.
When the soldiers had passed, the families returned into the terminal to take part in the short ceremony that was all that stood between them and their loved ones.
The soldiers drop off their weapons, then the Ceremony officially begins as the soldiers march together into the facility as those in the crowd cheer wildly for them.
There is a brief ceremony consisting of a short prayer of thanks for their return, followed by remarks by Maj. Gen. James C. McConville, the Commanding General of the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault).
The crowd gave the soldiers a round of applause.
The crowd obliged him willingly!
The general than address the families and loved ones who were there to see the soldiers arrive.
The soldiers vigorously applauded along with their general. McConville, and then addressed the returning soldiers directly.
The ceremony concludes with the 101st Airborne Division band playing the Division Song and the Army Song as the soldiers and families sing along. Finally, the soldiers are dismissed concluding the ceremony.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, the Soldiers are given 20 minutes of family time which enables them to begin the reunification process with their families. It's quite a sight to see as these brave warriors rock hard demeanor melt when they hold their children, and kiss their mothers, wives, or girlfriends for the first time in a year. Believe me, there is never a dry eye in the house.
After the visitation time is over the soldiers formed back up, the soldiers marched from the terminal and board buses to go to their unit to turn in weapons and other sensitive items before they are released to be with their families.
The soldier's families are then given a short brief on reintegration issues, and then return to their vehicles to go pick up their loved ones once their turn-in was complete.

Artist Bio: Violetta Misiorek
I am a self-taught artist. The need to paint came suddenly and quite unexpectedly in my early 30s and it was combined with an intense desire to commence this beautiful journey immediately! I started with oil pastels but quickly moved on to oil paints. I adore the intense colour and amazing texture that oil paints provide. Every painting has part of my soul in it, as every painting went on a journey with me, with my mind and with my heart. They become part of who I was, who I am and who I will become. Every time I paint my heart and my mind open more, feel more and see more.
In my works I like to create balance in chaos, movement in stillness and beauty in imperfection.
My 'day job' is in mathematics and information sciences and my working hours are spent in a very structured and high pressure corporate environment. I love how painting allows me to let go of boundaries, restrictions and limitations. It allows me to really feel the fire within, it lets me express it and open my mind to limitless possibilities.
All my paintings are an image of what I feel with my heart as I do not paint what I see; I paint what I feel.

Many sites today will use a CGI, ASP or other scripting mechanism to provide dynamic content. Often, a single script is used to deliver multiple pages of information. While this can be a handy way to track users sessions or provide ?live? content, it poses an additional challenge for meaningful reporting.
By default, Urchin strips all the parameters associated with a page request (e.g. those that would typically be used with a CGI or ASP) and stores only the pathname of the page requested in its database. The DynamicURL filtering feature allows you to use regular expressions to selectively capture these parameters and present them in an intuitive way.
As an example, a CGI script might be used to deliver information about all products in a catalog. The script draws from a database, and uses parameters passed through the request to determine which product to display. The resulting hit in the webserver log for this request might look like:
/cgi-bin/showProduct.cgi?sessionId=123456789&productId=knobs |______________________| |_________________________________|
Under normal operation, Urchin will record that the showProduct.cgi page was requested, and all parameters up to and including the "?" will be stripped. By using a DynamicURL filter, Urchin can store some or all of the parameters and produce a unique page record based on the parameter list.
Now in this example, we don?t necessarily want to capture the entire second part of the request because of the ?sessionId.? Let?s assume that this parameter changes for each visit and we get 30,000 visits per day. Including this piece of information would create far too many unique pages and render the Pages reporting useless. Instead we just want to capture the ?productId? and report only on that information.
We may still want to know which script was used as well as which product was implicated in the request. By using a DynamicURL filter, we can capture multiple parts of the request and recombine them into a new, formatted request ready for reporting. Here is an example of a filter that could be used with the page request above:
This regular expression will match the above request no matter what the value of the sessionId or productId was. And the parenthesis capture the parts of the request that we want to keep for reporting. The effective request of the above example would look like:
Up to 5 sets of parenthesis can be used. And, multiple filters can be applied. If a request does not match the DynamicURL filter, it is left unmodified, but still included in the reporting. This allows you to use multiple DynamicURL filters for each area of a site. Keep in mind there is a slight performance hit for each filter used.
Note that DynamicURL filters can only be applied to the base URL and query string that form the page request. They cannot be used to filter referrals or any other fields in the log file. Also, when DynamicURLs and FilterIn/FilterOut are used together the DynamicURL will be applied after the other filters. So consideration must be given to how one set of filters affects the others when choosing what to filter.
Example 1: We want to capture the all the specific Knowledgebase article IDs in the Urchin 4 report for help.urchin.com. Here's a sample of what the Request portion of the hit looks like in the log file:
GET /knowledge.cgi?cmd=2&id=767
1. /knowledge.cgi 1,081 46.43% 2. /knowledge.cgi/id=767 244 10.48% 3. /knowledge.cgi/id=807 136 5.84% 4. /knowledge.cgi/id=768 50 2.15% 5. /knowledge.cgi/id=777 40 1.72%
Example 2: We want to capture the all the search keywords used in the Urchin 4 report for help.urchin.com. Here's a sample of what the Request portion of the hit looks like in the log file:
1. /knowledge.cgi 1,373 68.65% 2. /knowledge.cgi/keyword=utm 29 1.45% 3. /knowledge.cgi/keyword=default+page 18 0.90% 4. /knowledge.cgi/keyword=no+referral 11 0.55% 5. /knowledge.cgi/keyword=scheduler 10 0.50%

Ex-anchorman enjoys comparison to Ron Burgundy
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A former 1970s anchorman is enjoying a little more time in the limelight, thanks to the return of his fictional counterpart Ron Burgundy.
Comedian Will Ferrell has said the inspiration for his character in the "Anchorman" movies was Mort Crim, who moved to northeast Florida in 1998 after retiring as a TV news anchor in Detroit.
Crim tells The Florida Times-Union (http://bit.ly/18KPqV0 ) that the film is a satire and he doesn't take offense to Ferrell's performance. He says he always took his work seriously but tried not to take himself too seriously.
"I think the first movie was a parody of anchor people," Crim said. "The second is a parody of the whole 24-hour news cycle. The key moment is when Burgundy says, 'Why do we have to give them what they need? Let's give them what they want.'"
Crim and his wife were invited to the Dec. 15 premiere of "Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues" at the Beacon Theatre in New York, where he got to meet Ferrell for the first time.
"I walked up to him, put out my hand and said, 'Will, it's such an honor for you to meet me,'" Crim said. "He said he appreciated the good nature I had displayed in the interviews I'd done."
Crim's smooth baritone voice caught Ferrell's attention in a documentary on Jessica Savitch, Crim's co-anchor at a Philadelphia TV station in the mid-1970s. Crim has said he wasn't always nice to Savitch in the early days of their partnership, but he came to admire her and delivered the eulogy at her memorial service in 1983.
Now 78, Crim has written seven books and is starting to write his eighth, which is about working in television news in the 1970s and 1980s.

Ever since details of the next version of the Android OS – Ice Cream Sandwich – were revealed, there has been a lot of speculation about when it will be released. If I were Google, I would do it slightly before Apple launches the iPhone 5, to take at least some of the attention off the new iPhone.
Apparently, Google plans to do the same. Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 5 in mid-October, and according to rumors, Google will launch Ice Cream Sandwich before the end of October.
Today, Notion Ink CEO, Rohan Shravan, confirmed that Google has already started seeding manufacturers with Android Ice Cream Sandwich, and that it will be launched before the end of October. He also stated that while Notion Ink hasn't been provided access to Ice Cream Sandwich, he plans to update the Notion Ink Adam with Ice Cream Sandwich by November. Hopefully, the biggies like Samsung, HTC and Motorola will also follow suit.
Ice Cream Sandwich will be a unified OS for both smartphones and tablets. It will likely be launched with the Google Nexus Prime, Google's next Nexus device after the Nexus S. The reference platform for Ice Cream Sandwich will be the TI OMAP4.
Android fans, the wait is nearly over. Until the actual launch, check out these images of Android Ice Cream Sandwich.

8 Social Media Hoaxes You Fell for This Year
8 Social Media Hoaxes You Fell for This Year
If we've learned anything about social media over the past few years, it's that things can go viral fast. So fast, in fact, users often get swept away in sharing news and don't double-check if what they're spreading even checks out.
This, dear web citizens, is how hoaxes spread like wildfire across Facebook and Twitter, and you're left shaking your fist at the computer screen. Just last week, the Internet users shared pictures of Hurricane Sandy that ended up being completely fake, from an image of a shark swimming in a New Jersey street to a picture of the Statue of Liberty surrounded by violent waves, which was actually taken from a scene in The Day After Tomorrow.
Meanwhile, a Photoshopped image from the film Back To The Future also went viral earlier this year. Social media users thought the date Doc set the DeLorean to in the future had finally arrived. Not only did thousands of people share the picture in a matter of hours, it wasn't the first time the hoax had occurred. (Haven't we learned anything, Internet?)
Here's a look at what you fell for in 2012, from a Justin Bieber-related hoax that caused fans to shave their heads to a celebrity death rumor so believable it accrued nearly a million Facebook fans.
Did you fall for any hoaxes this year? Let us know which ones in the comments below.

If you're eyeballing a tablet with business purposes in mind, a convertible might be the best way to go. You get a full-size QWERTY keyboard when you need one and nothin' but screen when you don't.
And if it helps you to stay in the Windows ecosystem, well, you need a Windows-powered convertible. Like this one: Lenovo has the IdeaPad Yoga 11 Windows RT convertible for $599 shipped when you apply coupon code USPYOGA2C214 at checkout. (Sales tax may apply in some states.) That's a full $200 off the original price.
If that code doesn't work/expires, or you're not interested in configuring the tablet with software and/or support services, B&H Photo has it for $598 shipped -- no coupon code required.
Perhaps you've heard of the Yoga: It's the tablet/ultrabook hybrid with the keyboard that flips around a full 360 degrees when you prefer to tap instead of type.
This particular configuration features an 11.6-inch screen, a Tegra 3 processor, 64GB of solid-state storage (though I'm not sure how much of that is user-addressable), and Windows RT -- the apps-only version of Windows 8.
It weighs 2.8 pounds -- a good weight for an ultrabook, but definitely on the heavy side for a tablet.
Your local CNET hasn't reviewed the Yoga 11, but CNET UK gave it three stars. Their chief complaints: price, screen resolution, and lack of apps.
Apps are trickling in, albeit slowly, and the price is certainly more tolerable at $598. As for the resolution, yeah it's on the lower end at 1,366x768 pixels -- but that's actually typical for any laptop of this size.
I agree that I wouldn't even consider the Yoga 11 at $799. But $598 puts it on par, pricewise at least, with the iPad, which has a smaller screen and no keyboard. Anyone who wants to type as much as they want to tap may find this worth a look. Your thoughts?
Bonus deal: Today only, Giveaway of the Day has BYclouder Data Recovery Pro (Win) for free. It's a pro-level data recovery tool that normally sells for $199.95(!). Even if you don't need it now, well, you never know when you will. Just make sure you click the download link, not the download button, and install the program today so it gets activated.
Deals found on The Cheapskate are subject to availability, expiration, and other terms determined by sellers.

Market Scene: Cherry Tomatoes in San Francisco
Many of us in the Bay Area are unusually obsessed with food and freely admit it. Still, the extent of our obsession can even take me by surprise.
The Thursday morning San Rafael farmers' market in Marin County is a joy. Relatively mellow and full of the area's best farmers, it's a very pleasant experience. Plus, odds are good that you'll run into a well-known chef or two purchasing fruits and vegetables for their restaurants.
Back to the Bay Area food obsession. While tasting stone fruits at the Kashiwase Farm booth recently, trying to find my favorite nectarine, a nearby four-year old walked up with his mother. "Mom, remember last week I liked the Flavor Kings the best," he reminded her. I had to laugh. Is the level of our obsession so great that kids not only know about pluots, but can identify their favorite varietal? To me, it's a refreshing scene—I'd much rather the four-year olds identify fruit varietals than the Jonas Brothers.
Cherry Tomatoes in Action
As you've been reading in other Market Scene reports, tomatoes are showing up at farmers' markets all over the country—it's no different in the Bay Area.
Over the past few years, I've avoided cherry tomatoes. So ubiquitous and overly sweet, they are usually inferior to the more acidic, complex heirloom tomatoes. But this season, I find myself returning to cherry tomatoes, inspired by creative uses at local restaurants.
Recently, a group of us tasted the delicious Sungold Zinger at Range in San Francisco. This cocktail—perfectly balanced and easily my best cocktail experience recently—is made from local 209 gin, Sungold tomatoes, agave nectar, and lemon. Lucky for us, Anita at Married with Dinner has posted a recipe for her rendition of the Sungold zinger.
Not long after, I had an excellent pizza at Pizzeria Delfina using cherry tomatoes—an extremely simple preparation of just tomatoes and ricotta salata. We added pepperoni for an even more satisfying combination.
I'm looking forward to more great cherry tomato preparations at home. That is, if I can keep them around that long—so far, I've been eating them straight out of my hand and they never make it to the dinner table.

By Adelle M. Banks
Religion News Service
(RNS) Philip Weeks fondly remembers the days when his wife of 56 years, June, was a nurse and an artist whose paintings were compared to Rembrandt's.
Her paintings still hang in their home in Lynchburg, Va., but almost everything else has changed for the couple after she was diagnosed with possible Alzheimer's and then an abrupt form of dementia.
In one moment, the retired Charismatic Episcopal bishop said, she would lean over to kiss him. "An hour later, she looked at me and said, 'Who are you?'" he recalled.
When the person you married goes through a dramatic change, what's a spouse to do? As Valentine's Day approaches, clergy, ethicists and brain injury experts agree: There are no easy answers.
When a couple is faced with the sudden or gradual change in the person who now may no longer be able to give flowers or go out to the movies, it often means a new definition of love.
"I made a vow," said an emotional Weeks. "For better or for worse, in sickness and health. She has stood by me in mission work, in the pastorate. Why can't I stand by her now?"
- Last summer, religious broadcaster Pat Robertson initially suggested on his "700 Club" program that a man divorce his wife who had Alzheimer's and "start all over again" with dating. Alzheimer's, he said, was "like a walking death." He later said he was "misunderstood."
- In early January, The Washington Post Magazine ran a story about a woman whose husband suffered a traumatic brain injury after a heart attack. She eventually decided to divorce him but continue caring for him with her second husband.
- On Friday (Feb. 10), "The Vow" hits movie screens, an adaptation of a rereleased book about a young married couple whose serious car accident left the wife unable to recognize her husband. In fact, she thought she was not married.
"There's always an obligation, I think, to keep faith with your spouse but the shape that that can take, morally speaking, can vary," said Darlene Fozard Weaver, an ethicist at Villanova University in Pennsylvania.
When medical crises interrupt a couple's expectations of wedded bliss, there are all kinds of dynamics to consider: Is the ill spouse now abusive? Can the still-well spouse manage the necessary care?
Although "The Vow" is a romantic drama about trying to get a wife to fall in love with her husband again, Fozard Weaver said it's not far from what real-life marriage -- with health challenges or not -- is all about.
"Keeping faith in a marriage is always this ongoing process of both remembering what brought you together in the first place but also responding to and embracing the person who's here before you now," she said.
The film is based on the real-life story of Kim and Krickitt Carpenter after the couple was involved in the 1993 car accident. Physical therapist Scott Madsen watched the husband move from caretaker to coach to eventually, an again accepted mate.
"As she got better, then the relationship became better as well, more of a normal relationship," said Madsen, who served as best man when the couple renewed their vows in 1996.
Kim Carpenter writes in the book "The Vow" that some people suggested divorce, saying it might even help with medical expenses. That was not his choice.
Greg Ayotte, director of consumer services for the Brain Injury Association of America, said there's a misconception that most spouses of brain-injured patients -- people who have been in a car accident, or had a fall, stroke, or tumor -- head to divorce court. According to two recent studies, the vast majority of married brain-injured patients remain wed.
"In the world of brain injury, the term often used is 'new normal,'" he said. "As you begin to understand the injury, you kind of develop a new normal for your life and your family."
Page Melton Ivie, the subject of The Washington Post story, said faith played a role in her decisions on how to best care for her first husband, Robert Melton.
"In the context of my faith, I am standing by him and with him," she wrote during an online chat after the story was published. "I am fortunate to have found someone who will share this with me."
Others didn't look at it that way.
"Some day she will have to stand before God and explain why she put herself before her vows to God and to Robert," wrote Dennis Babish, a blogger for Prison Fellowship's Breakpoint Blog.
Terri Corcoran, a spokeswoman for the Well Spouse Association, said members on her organization's online forum also were divided. Some called it a "beautiful story" that gave them hope, while others criticized their "have your cake and eat it, too" relationships.
Corcoran's husband, Vince, has a neurodegenerative disorder that leaves him mostly speechless. Corcoran said her conversion to her husband's Catholic faith helped her carry on.
"I've learned to accept the way things are," she said. "I still would give anything to have him normal again even for a day. I just keep saying, 'Lord this is your will. I know you will show me other blessings' and he has."
Weeks, who has self-published a book called "A Long Dark Night: A Caregiver's Journey with Dementia," said he came close to losing his faith, but not his love. Eventually, he said, he stopped doubting God.
"He was giving me a quality of love for her that I did not have before," the bishop said of his wife. "I think I'm a better husband now because I've learned how to deal with this."

We don't need to live in a cocoon: squashed and cushioned we are unable to truly feel the world around us.
It's the same for our kids.
Kids need to grow up and feel: risk, danger, achievement, responsibility.
Even in cities.
The good news is that this is easier than it seems as most of the assumptions we have about raising kids in cities are simply not true.
It is not 'too dangerous' to let kids walk alone in the city.
Fact is, there is a lot of data showing accidents on country roads are more dangerous than those that occur on city streets. Some British data points at denser traffic leading to less fatal accidents, as well people and drivers being more careful in cities.
It is not 'too dangerous' to let kids out of sight.
'Stranger danger' should not dominate decisions on how much freedom to give our kids in cities. Child abductions by strangers are incredibly, extremely and completely rare. A generation ago, children were much more likely to walk to school and play unsupervised with friends, despite overall rates of child abductions being much the same as today. What's changed is our fear of these appalling crimes; this has risen exponentially since the 1970's.
It is not 'too dangerous' for kids to play unsupervised.
Since the late seventies in the USA, and then across most of the northern hemisphere, playgrounds have become safer. Rounded and padded, with risks and heights curtailed, they are also more boring. (Ever seen how kids want to climb over the equipment rather than play in it?) And yet a British study concludes this has not reduced the frequency of kids winding up in hospital emergency rooms from playground-related accidents. In fact, this study concludes there is a worrying rise in more-dangerous long-bone injuries, perhaps because of 'risk compensation' where kids don't worry about falling on rubber, so they are less careful.
David Ball, a professor of risk management at Middlesex University, who analyzed the injury statistics in the UK and the U.S., says, "we have come to think of accidents as preventable and not a natural part of life."
The result is kids and teenagers who suffer depression, anxiety and crippling self-esteem. An inability to do things for themselves. Fear of stepping out of their comfort zones. This is not happening in a vacuum.
Kids seek and need to take risks, alone as well as with their friends to gain confidence, build self-esteem, physical ability and agility. And not only for their mental wellbeing: it's the fun of childhood. Cushion and pad their lives and this becomes ever more difficult.
At Vivobarefoot we believe feeling is vital: in life as well as in what we put on our feet. Our feet don't need padding and cushioning. Our feet need to be free to feel, take risks and build strength and agility.
So give your kids – and their feet – a little bit more freedom.

Chinese Hackers Hit U.S. Media
Wall Street Journal, New York Times Are Breached in Campaign That Stretches Back Several Years
WASHINGTON—Chinese hackers believed to have government links have been conducting wide-ranging electronic surveillance of media companies including The Wall Street Journal, apparently to spy on reporters covering China and other issues, people familiar with the incidents said.
Journal publisher Dow Jones & Co. said Thursday that the paper's computer systems had been infiltrated by Chinese hackers, apparently to monitor its China coverage. New York Times Co. NYT -2.26% disclosed Wednesday night that its flagship newspaper also had been the victim of cyberspying.
Chinese hackers for years have targeted major U.S. media companies with hacking that has penetrated inside newsgathering systems, several people familiar with the response to the cyberattacks said. Tapping reporters' computers could allow Beijing to identify sources on articles and information about pending stories. Chinese authorities in the past have penalized Chinese nationals who have passed information to foreign reporters.
Journal sources on occasion have become hard to reach after information identifying them was included in emails. However, Western reporters in China long have assumed that authorities are monitoring their communications and act accordingly in sensitive cases.
- Hackers in China Targeted New York Times for 4 Months(New York Times)
Chinese Embassy spokesman Geng Shuang condemned allegations of Chinese cyberspying. "It is irresponsible to make such an allegation without solid proof and evidence," he said. "The Chinese government prohibits cyberattacks and has done what it can to combat such activities in accordance with Chinese laws." He said China has been a victim of cyberattacks but didn't say from where.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei emphasized the point at a daily press briefing on Friday. "Cyber attacks are transnational and anonymous. It's very hard to trade the source of attack," he said. "To presume the source of a hacking attack based on speculation is irresponsible and unprofessional." He added that "Chinese authorities make serious efforts in fighting cyber attacks."
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has been probing media hacking incidents for more than a year and considers the hacking a national-security matter. Investigators see it as part of a long-running pattern by a foreign entity to compromise the security of major U.S. companies, people familiar with the matter said.
Some evidence gathered in the probe suggested that the hacking was conducted largely by one group that focused on media companies, people familiar with the matter said. One person described the hacking as a swarm of relatively unsophisticated but persistent attempts to gain access.
"It's part of this overall story that the Chinese want to know what the West thinks of them," said Richard Bejtlich, chief security officer with the computer-security company Mandiant Corp., which was hired by the New York Times to investigate its breach. "What slant is the media going to take on them? Who are their sources?"
Mandiant, which is retained by companies to respond to cyberinfiltrations and was hired by Dow Jones, said it has seen roughly 30 reporters and their managers targeted in incidents dating to 2008.
Bloomberg LP on Thursday said attempts had been made to infiltrate its systems but that its security wasn't breached. A spokeswoman for Thomson Reuters PLC said its Reuters news service was hacked twice in August. She said Reuters couldn't confirm the hacking source.
Computer-security firms that track Chinese cyberspying groups say that one of the roughly 20 groups they know about appears to specialize in the media industry.
"We know there are campaigns that are launched by specific groups targeting specific sectors," said Shawn Henry, president of CrowdStrike Inc., a computer-security firm. "When governments are actively collecting intelligence, they have developed subject-matter experts in particular industries," said Mr. Henry, a former FBI cybersecurity specialist.
The U.S. government has grown increasingly concerned about Chinese spying on the government and U.S. corporations, prompting U.S. intelligence agencies to issue a report a year ago calling Chinese hackers from the government and private sector the world's most "active and persistent" perpetrators of industrial spying.
Google Inc. and EMC Corp. computer-security unit RSA, among others, have said that their systems have been infiltrated. People familiar with those breaches said they were connected to the Chinese government.
The intelligence report discussed the extensive theft of data from global energy companies and proprietary data such as client lists and acquisition plans at other companies.
Cyberspecialists said the goals of hacking can include industrial espionage, insider trading and tracking potentially damaging information.
"The Communist Party really fears information and they can see their control unraveling as people read about corruption and officials with huge bank portfolios," said James Lewis, who advises U.S. officials on cybersecurity. "Information is an existential threat to these regimes."
The New York Times in an article Thursday detailed how Chinese hackers had infiltrated its systems over the past four months and gained access to passwords belonging to reporters and other employees. The paper said it believed it had expelled the hackers from its system.
Western companies, including media organizations, are reluctant to comment about possible Chinese hacking because they could lose customer confidence in their network security. Going public also risks antagonizing the Chinese government.
The Journal has faced hacking threats from China during the past few years, people familiar with the Journal investigation said.
In the most recent incident, the Journal was notified by the FBI of a potential breach in the middle of last year, when the FBI came across data that apparently had come from the computer network in the Journal's Beijing bureau, people familiar with the incident said.
The Journal hired consultants to investigate the matter and uncovered a major breach in which hacking groups—it wasn't clear whether they were working together—entered the company's networks, in part through computers in the Beijing office, people familiar with the situation said. The hackers then infiltrated the paper's global computer system, the people said.
Among the targets were a handful of journalists in the Beijing bureau, including Jeremy Page, who wrote articles about the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood in a scandal that helped bring down Chinese politician Bo Xilai, people familiar with the matter said. Beijing Bureau Chief Andrew Browne also was a target, they said.
The Journal began an investigation to track the cyberspies. The probe watched where the hackers went within the Journal's computer networks, what information they were interested in and how deeply they had penetrated.
A number of computers were totally controlled by outside hackers, who had broad access across the Journal's computer networks, people familiar with the matter said.
The investigation couldn't determine the full extent of the information that was spied on by the hackers, they said. The company's computer specialists erased several hard drives in Beijing last year.
"Evidence shows that infiltration efforts target the monitoring of the Journal's coverage of China and are not an attempt to gain commercial advantage or to misappropriate customer information," Paula Keve, a spokeswoman for Journal publisher Dow Jones, said in a written statement Thursday. Dow Jones is a unit of News Corp.
Data security is an "ongoing issue," Ms. Keve said. "We continue to work closely with the authorities and outside security specialists, taking extensive measures to protect our customers, employees, journalists and sources."
The Journal in recent weeks has been taking steps to overhaul network security. The effort was completed Thursday.

Corrections & Amplifications
Dow Jones & Co. said it hired computer-security company Mandiant Corp. prior to the publisher's Jan. 31 announcement that its Wall Street Journal computer systems had been infiltrated by Chinese hackers. A Dow Jones spokeswoman declined to give the date that Mandiant was hired or the nature of the engagement. An earlier version of this article didn't note the business relationship, which hadn't previously been disclosed by the companies to Journal reporters.

Super Bowl report card: Seahawks pass with flying colors, Broncos fail
Seahawks: B+
Russell Wilson followed the same blueprint he's used for most of his two-year NFL career — play smart, efficient, error-free football. He kept the chains and clock moving — he also put the ball into the end zone twice — and didn't give the Broncos any opportunities to stem the surging Seattle tide.
Broncos: D+
Five-time MVP Peyton Manning gets the lion's share of the credit when things go well and the bulk of the blame when they don't. His pair of interceptions, including the one Super Bowl MVP Malcolm Smith returned 69 yards for a 22-0 Seattle lead, changed the complexion of this game. But it must be noted that DE Cliff Avril penetrated the Denver O-line on both occasions to alter Manning's throws. Regardless, it was a forgettable day for No. 18, who never managed to put the Broncos on his broad shoulders and dig the team out of a first-quarter hole it never escaped. This game will do nothing to burnish his legacy, a main topic of speculation in the weeks leading up to the game.
Seahawks: B
Steady as she goes. Whether it was converting third downs, drawing key penalties, pinballing through the defense for a TD (nice job, Jermaine Kearse) or even running the ball, Seattle's maligned receivers completely outplayed their highly touted Denver counterparts. Marshawn Lynch was limited to 39 yards on 15 carries, but he did break through for a TD seven plays after Manning's first interception.
Broncos: F
The offensive line started terribly when C Manny Ramirez botched the first snap of the game for a safety, and the unit was consistently overwhelmed by Seattle's never-ending wave of pass rushers. The run game that had so effectively controlled the clock in the first two playoff rounds and had allowed Manning to keep defenders off balance was virtually non-existent. WR Demaryius Thomas finished with decent numbers (13 catches, 118 yards) and did finally find the end zone, but his third-quarter fumble effectively ended any remote chance for a Denver comeback.
Seahawks: A+
Will it now rank with the '85 Bears, 2000 Ravens and Steel Curtain when NFL historians rank the best units in league history? Avril, Smith and SS Kam Chancellor were the brightest lights Sunday as the Seahawks smothered Manning, picked him off and delivered knockout blow after knockout blow to Denver's skill players. CB Richard Sherman's name wasn't called much, but neither were the names of the receivers he was erasing from the Denver game plan before he departed with a fourth-quarter injury.
Broncos: C-
Denver did a nice job limiting Lynch, Seattle's most important offensive player. But it stood little chance to thrive after its own offense put it behind the eight ball from the jump. By the time Kearse ricocheted in for his TD and a 36-0 third-quarter lead, the Broncos D looked beaten.
Seahawks: A
Percy Harvin nailed the Denver coffin shut with the first touchdown of his Seattle career when he started the second half with an 87-yard kickoff return for a 29-0 lead. K Steven Hauschka was his usual steady self, allowing Seattle to build a lead with two first-quarter field goals. The coverage units were also spectacular.
Broncos: F
Denver had the league's worst kickoff coverage team in the regular season, and it verified that status by allowing Harvin to effectively end the game to start the second half. Trindon Holliday repeatedly undermined the offense with ill-advised kickoff returns, the first preceding the safety on Denver's first play from scrimmage at its own 14.
Seahawks: A
Some questioned Sherman's outlandish personality and Lynch's reticent one prior to the game. But Carroll never tried to govern his team's exuberant persona, and the Seahawks played free and easy Sunday on their way to the franchise's first title in its 38-year history.
Broncos: D-
John Fox's team never came close to solving Seattle on either side of the ball. His players looked tight and, at times, intimidated. Hard to entirely lay a dud of a performance at Fox's feet, but a team that smashed records on its way to Super Sunday got smashed upon arrival.

Israeli nationalists and police clashed with Palestinians in Jerusalem Sunday during controversial Jerusalem Day commemorations, marking when during the 1967 Six Day war Israel seized and later annexed East Jerusalem.
Thousands of Ultra Orthodox, nationalist Israelis, and high-school students marched from Jerusalem's city centre to the Damascus Gate entrance to the Old City as part of the commemorative events, Middle East Eye reported.
Approximately 100 Palestinians near Damascus Gate protested the march. According to Ma'an News Agency, at least 10 Palestinians were arrested as the protest was dispersed by Israeli police.
"This rally marks a new occupation of Jerusalem every year. It is a painful and tough day for us with Israeli flags waved across the city which is turned into a military barracks and we the indigenous residents feel like aliens," Abu Rami, who lives in the Old City, told Ma'an News Agency.
Residents of Jerusalem's Old City Muslim Quarter were required to close shop fronts and homes in preparation for the March, which witnessed crowds pour through the Old City's narrow streets and right-wing Israelis chanting and performing "flag dances," according to Ma'an News Agency.
Israeli youth participating in the march chanted "Death to all Arabs!", "Demolish the mosque, build the temple!" and ״Take revenge on the Palestinians!" according to Middle East Eye reports.
Middle East Eye reported that almost 500 Israeli protesters attacked journalists reporting on the event, throwing sticks and trying to break their equipment. There were no reports that Israeli protesters were detained by police.
Israeli President Rivlin used his Jerusalem Day address to call for peace in the contested city. "As a Jerusalemite and a lover of the city, I ask today about peace in my united Jerusalem, which stands above all bargaining."
He said that Jerusalem, "belongs first and foremost to its people, and to all its residents: secular, religious and Haredi, Arabs and Jews. And in my united Jerusalem there is west and there is an east and there are no secondary sons," adding," there are no secondary Jerusalemites."
A Palestinian resident of Jerusalem's Old City, who was blocked from walking to his home, expressed dismay about the event to Middle East Eye saying, "Jerusalem is a city of peace, but we suffer from this march, which is backed by the Israeli government, who has brought settlers from across the West Bank, paying for their buses and food during the march."

JASON SUDEIKIS ANNOUNCES HE IS LEAVING "SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" WHEN THE ACTOR VISITS CBS's "LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN" TONIGHT
Jason Sudeikis announces that he will not return to "Saturday Night Live" when it resumes in the fall, tonight during an interview with David Letterman on the LATE SHOW with DAVID LETTERMAN, Wednesday, July 24.
LETTERMAN: "Now, how many years have you been regularly employed at 'Saturday Night Live?'"
SUDEIKIS: "Regularly? If you could call it regularly employed, 10 years. Ten years, yeah, yeah." (Audience applauds)
LETTERMAN: "Ten years, wow, good for you. And are you the dean of the cast there now? Are you the one that's been there the longest?"
SUDEIKIS: "Oh, no, no, no. Seth Meyers has been there the longest. He was there about two years before me in the cast. And then Kenan [Thompson] started in the cast when I started as a writer, yeah. I wrote for two years and been on camera for eight."
LETTERMAN: "And how long will a person continue with this, you suppose?"
SUDEIKIS: "A person in general, or me specifically?" (Audience laughs)

Obama's idea of 'collective action' may end in stagnating collectively
Of the 2,000-plus words in President Obama's second inaugural address, surely the most provocative were "collective action."
He presented American history as a "journey," during which, at every crucial turn, we discovered "together" that "preserving our individual freedoms ultimately requires collective action."
His examples were efforts led by the federal government: interstate highways, financial regulation, the New Deal-Great Society safety net and victory in war.
What would Mancur Olson have made of this? The late University of Maryland economist wrote a book called "The Logic of Collective Action," which, though first published in 1965, still provides a powerful counterpoint to the vision Obama laid out.
Olson's critique of collective action is complicated, and it is made less accessible by an ungainly prose style. But the gist is that large numbers of people do not naturally band together to secure common interests. In fact, the larger the group, the less likely it is to act in a truly collective manner.
As Olson explained, the interests that unite large groups are necessarily of the lowest-common-denominator variety. Therefore the concrete benefits of collective action to any individual are usually small compared with the costs -- in time, effort and money -- of participation. "Free-riding" is a constant threat -- as the difficulties of collecting union dues illustrates.
By contrast, small groups are good at collective action. It costs less to organize a few people around a narrow, but intensely felt, shared concern. For each member, the potential benefits of joint action are more likely to outweigh the costs, whether or not success comes at the larger society's expense.
Hence, the housing lobby, the farm lobby and all the special-interest groups that swarm Congress. Hence, too, the conspicuous absence of an effective lobby on behalf of all taxpayers or, for that matter, all poor people.
So when Obama called on Americans to once again act "as one nation, and one people," he was, at best, stating an aspiration.
Olson's assessment of reality, both historical and contemporary, is less lofty but more accurate: "There will be no countries that attain symmetrical organization of all groups with a common interest and thereby attain optimal outcomes through comprehensive bargaining."
That quotation comes from "The Rise and Decline of Nations," Olson's 1982 sequel to "The Logic of Collective Action."
This ominously titled book begins with Olson's observation that West Germany, successor to a state literally destroyed in 1945, was faring better, economically and socially, than its conqueror, Britain.
His paradoxical, and deeply depressing, conclusion: Political stability is a curse of sorts, because, over time, stable societies accumulate interest groups, with all the distortion and complexity that breeds. "On balance," he wrote, "special-interest organizations and collusions reduce efficiency and aggregate income . . . and make political life more divisive."
A diagnosis of the "British disease" in Olson's time, these words apply alarmingly well to the United States today. Certainly, it's a better description of our predicament than the one Obama propounded last week.
The problem is not, as the president implied, the opposition of an implacable few to the manifest general interest.
Rather, it is that Washington is besieged by mutually offsetting lobbies representing almost every conceivable segment of society. Some (e.g., teacher unions) collect under the Democratic Party banner; some (e.g., independent oil operators) tilt Republican; and many (Wall Street, agribusiness, hospitals) have their hooks in both parties.
As Olson warned, our stable democracy suffers from "crowded agendas and bargaining tables" -- too crowded to agree on the problem, much less a solution. Or so the repeated failure to strike a "grand bargain" on fiscal policy would suggest.
Obama was surely right to maintain that there is such a thing as a public good: infrastructure, social equality, national and global security. He was also right that government is better suited than markets to provide some of these -- contrary to the most simplistic Republican rhetoric.
But the president's paean to collective action lacked Olson's realism. The question is not just how much more government we need or want, if any. It's also how much more government we can afford, in light of its purposes and given the risks Olson identified -- which have already materialized in the form of unsustainable but politically untouchable entitlement programs.
Someday we may have a leader who's equally passionate about government's capacity for good -- and about reforming the public sector to ensure its long-term solvency. By the looks of things so far, it won't be Barack Obama.

Constitution: 1868
Journal: 1883
Journal-Constitution: 2001
Dunwoody, Georgia
231,094 Daily
644,287 Sunday[1]
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) is the only major daily newspaper in the metropolitan area of Atlanta, Georgia, United States. It is the flagship publication of Cox Enterprises. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is the result of the merger between The Atlanta Journal and The Atlanta Constitution. The staff was combined in 1982. Separate publication of the morning Constitution and afternoon Journal ended in 2001.[2] The AJC has its headquarters in the Atlanta suburb of Dunwoody, Georgia. It is also co-owned with television flagship WSB-TV and six radio stations, which are located separately in midtown Atlanta.
Subsequent to the staff consolidation of 1982, the afternoon Journal maintained a conservative editorial stance, while the editorials and op-eds in the morning Constitution were center-left.[citation needed] When the editions combined in 2001, the editorial page staffs also merged.[citation needed] The editorials and op-eds have attempted to strike a more "balanced" tone. Most of the paper's editorial stances have been closer to those of the old Constitution center-left viewpoint.[citation needed]
The Atlanta Journal
The Atlanta Journal was established in 1883. Founder E.F. Hoge sold the paper to Atlanta lawyer Hoke Smith in 1887. After the Journal supported Presidential candidate Grover Cleveland in the 1892 election, Smith was named as Secretary of the Interior by the victorious Cleveland. Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Margaret Mitchell worked for the Journal from 1922 to 1926. Important for the development of her 1936 Gone With the Wind were the series of profiles of prominent Georgia Civil War generals she wrote for The Atlanta Journal's Sunday Magazine, the research for which, scholars believe, led her to her work on the novel. In 1922, the Journal founded the South's first radio station, WSB AM 740 (now 750). The radio station and the newspaper were sold in 1939 to James Middleton Cox, founder of what would become Cox Enterprises. The Journal carried the motto "Covers Dixie like the Dew".
The Atlanta Constitution
The Constitution, as it was originally known, was first published on June 16, 1868. Its name changed to The Atlanta Constitution in October 1869.[3] It was such a force that by 1871 it had killed off the Daily Intelligencer, the only Atlanta paper to survive the American Civil War. In August 1875 its name changed to The Atlanta Daily Constitution for two weeks, then to The Constitution again for about a year.[4] In 1876 Captain Evan Howell (a former Intelligencer city editor) purchased a controlling interest from E.Y. Clarke Sr. and became its editor-in-chief. That same year, Joel Chandler Harris began writing for the paper. He soon invented the character of Uncle Remus, a black storyteller, as a way of recounting stories from African-American culture. In October 1876 the newspaper became The Daily Constitution, before settling on the name The Atlanta Constitution in September 1881.[5] During the 1880s, editor Henry W. Grady was a spokesman for the "New South," and encouraged industrial development.
The Constitution started the second radio station, WGM AM 710, having received its Federal Radio Commission broadcast license in March 1922, just two or four days after WSB. It is now succeeded by WGST AM 640, though its original facility (after frequency changes to 1110 and 890) is now WGKA AM 920. The station folded after just over a year, and was donated to the Georgia School of Technology (now Georgia Tech).
Ralph McGill, editor for the Constitution in the 1940s, was one of the few southern newspaper editors to support the American Civil Rights Movement. In 1946, reporter David Snell wrote that Japan had developed its own atomic bomb prior to Hiroshima and Nagasaki.[6]
From the 1970s until his death in 1994, Lewis Grizzard was a popular humor columnist for the Constitution. He portrayed Southern "redneck" culture with a mixture of ridicule and respect. Other noteworthy editors of The Atlanta Constitution include J. Reginald Murphy. "Reg" Murphy gained notoriety with his 1974 kidnapping. Murphy later served as editor of the San Francisco Examiner.
The Constitution won numerous Pulitzer Prizes. In 1931 it won a Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for exposing corruption at the local level. In 1959, The Constitution won a Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing for Ralph McGill's editorial "A Church, A School....". In 1967 it was awarded another Pulitzer Prize for Eugene Patterson's editorials. In 1960, Jack Nelson won the Pulitzer Prize for local reporting, by exposing abuses at Milledgeville State Hospital for the mentally ill. In 1988 the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning went to the Constitution's Doug Marlette. Mike Luckovich received a Pulitzer Prize in 1995 and 2006. Cynthia Tucker also received a Pulitzer Prize in 2007 for Pulitzer Prize for Commentary.
Cox Enterprises bought the Constitution in June 1950, bringing both newspapers under one ownership and combining sales and administrative offices. Separate newsrooms were kept until 1982, though even after the newsrooms were combined, both papers continued to be published. The Journal, an afternoon paper, led the morning Constitution until the 1970s, when afternoon papers began to fall out of favor with subscribers. In November 2001, the two papers, which were once fierce competitors, merged to produce one daily morning paper, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. The two papers had published a combined edition on weekends and holidays for years.
Prior to the merger, both papers had planned to start TV stations: WSB-TV 8 for the Journal, and WCON-TV 2 for the Constitution. Only WSB actually got on the air (making it the first TV station in the South), moving from channel 8 to WCON's allotment on channel 2 in 1951 to avoid TV interference from a nearby channel 9. (WROM-TV since moved, leaving WGTV on 8, after it was also used by WLWA-TV, now WXIA-TV 11.) This was also necessary to satisfy Federal Communications Commission (FCC) rules preventing the excessive concentration of media ownership, preventing the combined paper from running two stations.
In 1989, Bill Dedman received the Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting for "The Color of Money," his expose on racial discrimination in mortgage lending, or redlining, by Atlanta banks.[7] The newspapers' editor, Bill Kovach, had resigned in November 1988 after the stories on banks and others had ruffled feathers in Atlanta. (see Anne Cox Chambers).
In 1993, Mike Toner received the Pulitzer Prize for Explanatory Reporting for "When Bugs Fight Back," his series about organisms and their resistance to antibiotics and pesticides.
Julia Wallace was named the first female editor of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2002. In 2005 she was named Editor of the Year in 2005 by Editor and Publisher magazine.[8]
Mike Luckovich again won the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial cartooning in 2006, an award he had received in 1995 under The Atlanta Constitution banner.
The paper used to cover all 159 counties in Georgia, and the bordering counties of western North Carolina where many Atlantans vacation or have second homes, in addition to some circulation in other bordering communities, such as Tallahassee, Florida, where the Sunday AJC was available. Due to the downturn in the newspaper industry, it contracted dramatically in the late 2000s to only serve the metro area.[9] From Q1 of 2007 to Q1 of 2010, daily circulation plunged over 44%.[10]
The AJC has its headquarters in Perimeter Center, an office district of Dunwoody, Georgia.[11][12][13] Previously the AJC headquarters were in Downtown Atlanta near the Five Points district.[14] In August 2009, the AJC occupied less than 30 percent of its downtown location, which was outdated and costly to maintain. Later that year, the AJC consolidated its printing operations by transferring the downtown production center to the Gwinnett County facility. In 2010 the newspaper relocated its headquarters to leased offices in Dunwoody, a northern suburb of Atlanta.[13] In November 2010, the former Downtown headquarters was donated to the city of Atlanta, which plans to convert the building into a fire and police training academy.
Parts of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The AJC has four major sections daily. On Sundays, it has additional sections. The main section usually consists of Georgia news, Nationwide news, World news, and Business news. Another AJC section is called Metro. This includes major headlines from the Metro-Atlanta area. The Metro section usually reports the weather, as well. The next section is Sports. The Sports section reports anything sports related. The Metro and Sports sections often contain "The Vent" where readers vent about things that are currently happening. The final section of the daily AJC is Living. In this section, there are articles, recipes, reviews, movie times, a Sudoku, a crossword puzzle, and a word scramble. Also, it usually contains the comics, however, on Sundays, the comics are a separate section.
