SGS Chooses Zerto Disaster Recovery, Protects Applications Twice as Fast
Zerto Virtual Replication Beats Competition, Allows Freedom to Test at Any Time
Boston, US — January 29, 2013 — Zerto, the industry's first hypervisor-based replication solution provider, today announced that Swiss multi-national conglomerate SGS has chosen Zerto Virtual Replication (ZVR) for its business continuity and disaster recovery services (BC/DR). SGS employs more than 70,000 people in more than 1,350 offices and laboratories around the world that help companies meet important health, safety and regulatory standards throughout the supply chain process. Through comprehensive inspections, certification and verification processes and a global network of testing facilities, SGS ensures companies are compliant with both local and global standards and regulations.
"ZVR is a straightforward product that is easy to implement and easy to use," says Baris Dogan, operations support team leader of SGS Turkey, the division of SGS that deployed Zerto Virtual Replication. "We were able to replicate the same amount of data with Zerto twice as fast when compared with the competition. We have full confidence in our BC/DR strategy because we are able to test and validate it whenever we want, which wasn't the case with other solutions."
Working with EMOBIL, SGS evaluated several solutions. To meet the joint criteria they developed, the solution needed multi-site support in order to replicate from their seven branches back to their main data center but also had to be simple to implement, test and use. With ZVR, SGS was able to begin regular disaster recovery testing for the very first time, thus minimizing the risk of their environment. EMOBIL guided SGS through the evaluation and installed ZVR to protect all of their seven branches without complexity.
"For DR needs, there are orchestration tools, which are too complex and only deliver half the solution, and backup products, which several of our customers have deemed unreliable for replication," says Erhan Cevik, strategic partner advising SGS and founding partner at EMOBIL. "At the end of the day, Zerto is the only complete, all-in-one solution on the market."
"We are always humbled when a large and respected enterprise like SGS Turkey chooses our solution, and are pleased to provide them with a more complete and easy-to-use BC/DR solution than they could find from any other vendor," said Ziv Kedem, CEO, Zerto, Inc. "Zerto is a proven solution for any company, particularly complex global operations who are virtualized and therefore in need of storage agnostic, multi-site BC/DR solutions."
About SGS
SGS is the world's leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company. SGS is recognized as the global benchmark for quality and integrity. With more than 70,000 employees, SGS operates a network of over 1,350 offices and laboratories around the world.

Weather imagery from the GOES East satellite, captured early Christmas morning, is draped over NASA's "Blue Planet" visualization.
Half the world's weather on Christmas morning is on view in this fresh picture of Earth's full disk, generated using data from the GOES East satellite.
GOES East and GOES West keep watch on weather systems from their geostationary vantage points, 22,300 miles above the planet. (GOES stands for Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite.) NASA takes the GOES satellites' cloud cover readings and overlays them on a full-disk "Blue Planet" view of the oceans and land masses. The result is a hemisphere-wide snapshot of Earth like this one, produced every three hours.
This Christmas portrait of the planet is the final picture for the 2013 Cosmic Log Space Advent Calendar, which has been offering daily imagery of Earth from space during December. There's more in store for 2014: You can download a free set of desktop calendar images from DigitalGlobe, featuring beautiful satellite views of locales around the world. And don't miss the last entries from these other space-themed Advent calendars: The Atlantic's Hubble Advent Calendar, Zooniverse's Advent calendar and the Galileo's Pendulum Science Advent Calendar.
The best way to end this edition of the Cosmic Log Space Advent Calendar is to recall NASA astronaut Frank Borman's final words from Apollo 8's Christmas Eve broadcast 45 years ago, as he and his crewmates gazed on a sight much like the one that GOES East gives us today:
"We close with good night, good luck, a Merry Christmas — and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth."
The year 1968 was a tumultuous time marked by war, assassination, civil unrest and deep political division. As the year came to a close, the flight of Apollo 8 gave the nation an occasion to soar. NBC's Brian Williams reports.
Previously on the Space Advent Calendar:
- Day 24: Santa never had a view like this!
- Day 23: 'Earthrise' updated, 45 years later
- Day 22: Alien-looking clouds swirl on Earth
- Day 21: A scientific slant on winter's start
- Day 20: Christmas tree? No, it's Iceland
- Day 19: Japan's baby island is here to stay
- Day 18: Red and green lights glow in space
- Day 17: A child's face, visible from space
- Day 16: Where the Middle East's snow shows
- Day 15: Snaky Colorado river tricks the eye
- Day 14: A space farewell to Nelson Mandela
- Day 13: Happy St. Lucy's Day from space
- Day 12: Island of Love needs healing
- Day 11: A fractal puzzle, seen from space
- Day 10: London and Paris light the night
- Day 9: 'Starry Night' at sea
- Day 8: Mount Etna makes its mark
- Day 7: Staring down into Mount Vesuvius
- Day 6: Grand Canyon, seen and unseen
- Day 5: NASA salutes Nelson Mandela
- Day 4: Twin volcanoes act up in the Pacific
- Day 3: Syria's medieval marvel marred
- Day 2: Where the rain in Spain goes
- Day 1: Farewell, Earth ... Hello, Mars!

Nearly two years ago the Echo community lost more than just a place to eat when a fire destroyed its only cafe/bar; in an effort to fill in the gap, a group of concerned citizens began talking about the idea of building a new establishment in the community in May 2012....
Nearly two years ago the Echo community lost more than just a place to eat when a fire destroyed its only cafe/bar.
"We lost our social gathering place," said Sharon Hanson, an Echo resident.
In an effort to fill in the gap, a group of concerned citizens began talking about the idea of building a new establishment in the community in May 2012.
Since that time the group has held community meetings to see just how interested the people in town are to the idea of opening up something new.
The overwhelming re-sponse was to move forward with a plan.
That initial idea moved ahead, and tentative plans were drawn for a new restaurant and bar. With that work done the task of finding the money to pay for it began in earnest.
According to Rick Hanson, who serves on the building project committee, others have taken on the role of raising the funds.
"We have an ac-count set up at the bank so people can make donations," he said, adding there is a sign on the west side of the community that is keeping track of the money as it comes in for the project.
Hanson said the project is estimated to cost about $400,000, which he added, is a high estimate. He said those involved calculated costs on the high end to ensure there was enough money to get the work done.
"What we did not want to do is raise what we thought would be enough money only to find out we needed more," said Hanson.
Monetary donations are being accepted at Citizens Alliance Bank in Echo. They can be dropped off at the bank or mailed to P.O. Box 276, Echo, MN, 56237. Be sure to indicate what the donation is for when you send it.
Hanson said the community has held some fundraisers re-cently, and through fundraising events as well as community donations there is approximately $25,000 which has been collected for the project.
The plan is to collect a minimum of $250,000 before any actual work is done, said Hanson, adding that would allow for the construction of the shell and establishment of the structure in the community.
In order to help raise the funds the committee has scheduled an Echo community auction, which is being held Aug. 18 at 1 p.m. on Main Street.
Several items have been donated for the auction already, and more are being accepted. People are encouraged to check their closets, sheds, groves, garages and attics for items they can donate for the auction.
No, this is not an opportunity to dump those items with not value anymore. This is a fundraising effort, and the hope is to make some money.
Sharon Hanson said those who donate items are going to be responsible for taking them back if they do not sell.
The Echo community has a reputation of successful ventures like this, as it was able to open a community grocery store after the one in town had closed, and after its school closed the community rallied together to create what is a very successful charter school.
Current plans for the project are tentative, and there is still plenty of work left to do before this project comes to fruition. For more information about making a donation for the community restaurant/bar auction, call (507) 430-0421, (507) 430-2150, (507) 828-6217 or (507) 925-4140.

- Strength
- Protection
Here are some suggestions to get you started. Feel free to use these as a starting point or discard them entirely and submit your own creative design.

I've been playing around with Social Median tonight and I REALLY like what I'm seeing. Social Median is a new way of getting customized news from around the web as well getting your news out in the world with the click of the mouse. The interface took me a little while to get used to, but once I got the hang of It I was creating custom news feeds from the great sources already within the system, and then I made my own custom news feed for link building.
Social Median is all about personalized news – helping people get the news that matters most to them on any number of topics from any number of sources. Our hunch is that people with common topical interests can help each other filter and discover personally relevant news.
After a few hours I've realized that Social Median's suggestive topics for news it thought I would like was spot on. I've now got this happily feeding me news all day on my new Blackberry Storm which makes my day a whole lot more less productive..but in a good way. I highly recommend everyone to try it out, make some news feeds and get some links plus traffic from this social networking site.

(written from a Production point of view)
Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise is a technical manual of the Star Trek movies-era Enterprise first published in 1987 by Pocket Books. Shane Johnson, who wrote and illustrated it, also wrote the Star Fleet Uniform Recognition Manual as a companion volume devoted entirely to uniforms and other wardrobe, which "The Noron Group" published.
The book was published as a follow-up for the Star Fleet Technical Manual, but it illustrated the retrofitted USS Enterprise and its replacement USS Enterprise-A. The book makes usage of the FASA naming and dating scheme, placing the vessel's refit in the early 23rd century.

Appendix: U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A Edit
Background information Edit
The information in this manual was written in conjunction with some design staff of the movie series, and as such some of it is directly derived from filmed references, but some speculation within is outside of what is considered canon because some data is contradictory, as the nature of a continuing series is that new plot points may contradict previously assumed or unfilmed data.
That being said, this manual was a valuable source of behind the scenes information. Many pieces of photography and behind the scenes graphics information used in the filmings are presented clearly here.
According to the book, an "Enterprise Class" starship named the USS Ti-Ho was built from the keel-up to test the first transwarp drive. The ship was reportedly named in honor of author Shane Johnson's deceased friend who was fond of the name. On a side note Gene Roddenberry once suggested that the Enterprise-A was originally the Yorktown, and this reference appears in the Star Trek: The Next Generation Technical Manual.
Discrepancies exist with some references to trans-warp drive being assigned to the USS Enterprise-A. Also, trans-warp drive is described as functioning by shifting a vessel so equipped through a spatial interphase into the parallel continuum where the USS Defiant I, NCC-1764, was lost in "The Tholian Web," then shifting it out of that continuum through another such interphase when emerging from trans-warp speeds.

No Subject GivenI was wondering why in Europe it is not that frequent to have all these hidden costs charged. Is it just a business culture thing or Europeans are more likely to stop paying for something that it is not explicit mentioned in the value proposition once they realise they'd been cheated?
Pekka, 20 Sep 2004 @ 2:15am
Hidden costsAre the consumer protection laws so different in the USA? At least here in Finland (and maybe also in the rest of the European Union) it is a law that the price offered to consumers must contains all the costs - in other words, if a price is mentioned you have to get that product or service by paying just the advertised amount.
Anonymous Coward, 20 Sep 2004 @ 11:58am
Re: Hidden costs
Are the consumer protection laws so different in the USA?In a word, yes. US laws tend to protect the business rather than the consumer.
gkdada, 20 Sep 2004 @ 7:03am
No Subject GivenThe situation is (AFAIK) not nearly as bad in California. What gives? May be the floridans are not as savvy. They just need to get up and revolt against Jeb and his wolf-gang??
red_eye, 20 Sep 2004 @ 12:21pm
Re: No Subject GivenCalifornia used to have specific protections to prevent such pricing trikery. Example, back when cell phones were just starting to make it big(when a propular cell phone modle was a bag phone and came in a tote the size of a half loaf of bread) it was Illegal in California to advertize a FREE cell phone with MANDITORY service. You had to advertize a REBATE for the phone if you agreed to the service plan. If they had avertized the phone as free (IANAL) as I understand it you could have gotten the pheon free and legally cancelled the service and kept the phone. Now that law has changed and woe for the consumer.
The problem isnt the advertising, the laws, the lawyers, or the horrific marketing ideas, it is the stinking moronic sheep that accept that this is the way it is and pay for the service.
Mark, 20 Sep 2004 @ 7:04am
"normal businesses""Any normal business prices their "normal business expenses" into their advertised prices."
If so, there are fewer and fewer "normal businesses" every day. Of course we already know that rental cars never cost as much as the advertised rate (my car in a recent trip to Hawaii cost nearly $400 above the advertised rate). And the phone plans, as you mention. But the same goes for broadband -- the advertised rate never includes the DSL line fee, and Comcast's advertisements for cable modems only lists the price for the "special promotional period" -- if you want to know what it will cost after that, you have to call their sales department. I think this is the new wave of American marketing. Soon your apartment will cost $200 a month -- plus a few additional fees, of course.

Can't have it both waysI'm not sure what you're grousing about Mike... The cost or the way it's being billed. We american's can't seem to agree on the best way to do things. If I hand you a bill for 30.00 and you think it's too much, you/we say "I want to see a break out of the costs..." yet with the costs broken out, we say this is BS.
I won't defend the legtimacy of the costs much less the titles they are assigned, however, a business generally needs to coup some cost per customer to remain somewhat profitable (note that phone companies while great cash cows do not generate much profit consider their huge bottom line). As long as there's some competition between the companies the cost should be competitive. The phone companies pretty much have their hands tied by federal and local governments so they have to be creative when offering plans and in their billing.
The alternative is to get out of the business and I don't think the country is ready to start letting their phone companies pack up tent.
For the record; I curse, swear, and roll my eyes at the costs I see on my phone bill as much as the next person. I also know I can go elsewhere if I don't like it.
Re: Can't have it both waysI'm not sure what you're grousing about Mike... The cost or the way it's being billed.
I thought it was pretty clearly about the way it's being advertised that bugs me. If the bill is going to be $27, they shouldn't be able to advertise it as $11. I have no problem with a company charging what they think is right, but if they're tricking people into signing up a price that isn't what they'll be charged, that's a problem.

Re: Can't have it both waysI want to state up front that I am a PR flack and I represent a major carrier.
That said, I respect people�s dismay over the garbage fees that pump up their monthly wireless bills. What I don�t get is why more people aren�t upset with the government and regulatory agencies that impose the mandates that cause these fee hikes. Universal Service Fee, Telephone Relay for the Deaf, number pooling and portability - not taxes by definition - but all mandated by government just the same. Carriers don�t have the discretion to say no to these costs (neither do their customers).
So why aren�t these taxes? � because they aren�t passed back to the government and the carrier isn�t required by government to collect them. But, they still have to absorb the cost. As I see it, it�s just government forcing business to pay for services government should be providing (or not providing based on one�s political inclinations.)
And then there�s pure government surcharges. For example, the City of Baltimore charges $3.50 per month per customer � just because it can � and it needs the money. It�s a nice model for politicians � fund services w/o having to �raise taxes.�
I read all the time that folks want these costs factored into the monthly service fees. To me, that's really hiding the costs. Is there anyone out there that prefers to see these govt. garbage fees line itemed? I do, but that�s just me. It reminds me where I should be directing my disdain.
As for advertising, should carriers move the tax and mandates line items out of the small print and put them up front with the rate plans? That doesn�t seem to be a popular approach for any other industry that has to (or chooses to) tack on garbage fees.

Re: Can't have it both waysWhere would you go? In the California county where I live there is only one telephone service provider, period (and this is not a sparsely populated county, either.) Long distance is different, but I think we're talking about the primary local provider. Phone service is a monopoly here - as are cable and natural gas - so unless I want to actually relocate in order to get a different provider, I'm not sure what you mean by "I can go elsewhere if I don't like it."

Institutionalized lyingI had to explain to a phone sales person the other day that they were trying to deceive me. How could they sleep at night while their job was to lie to people and cheat them.
They were trying to convince me that my phone bill was higher than the service they were trying to sell me. Don't you also have taxes and fees?
The lies from the phone companies demonstartes their lack of customer awareness. As a customer I want to know the price as how much I will pay. It is really not important to me to know how much the phone company will get! That is their problem.
The reasons why a company would trash customers in this way:
1) they hate customers
2) they have no problem with lies
3) they are evil
4) they don't realize that their monay comes from customers
Anonymous Coward, 20 Sep 2004 @ 8:37am
Re: Institutionalized lyingOne Word:
Anonymous Coward, 27 Jun 2006 @ 10:04amA lot of this is done because many customers will make a decision based on the advertised number and mentally lump any additional costs into the same category as sales tax. The companies rely on their customers to either be bad at math (which seems like more and more people are) or to not care.
The advertised pricing of an item very rarely includes sales tax, with gasoline being one notable exception. This hasn't bothered people and companies view it as outside of their control. The trend continued with governmental fees not being included because the companies "don't have control over those". It has continued to increased with more and more costs being included in the "no control over these" category all in the name of convincing the customer that they're getting a great deal on the costs that the company can "control".

First Details on Assassin's Creed 4 Emerge
During its quarterly financial investors call, Ubisoft revealed a bit about its plans for the next game in the Assassin's Creed series.
Since the first Assassin's Creed arrived in 2007, Ubisoft has delivered five console games in six years. There has been a new Assassin's Creed game released every year since 2009, with last year's Assassin's Creed 3 bringing the most recent entry. Taking place just before the American Revolution, AC3 introduced a new protagonist and new timeline for the first time since 2009 (the three previous AC titles focused on the life of Ezio Auditore).
According to Polygon, on Thursday's financial conference call, Ubisoft's Yves Guillemot announced plans to introduce another new protagonist and another new timeline in Assassin's Creed 4. That of course makes a lot of sense if you happened to play AC3 through to completion. The sequel will release during the 2014 fiscal year (April 1st, 2013-March 31, 2014), and Guillemot promised it would be another major leap forward for the franchise. It's too early to tell of course, but that could mean the next entry may find itself on next generation consoles.
There is still more left for Assassin's Creed 3 protagonist Connor though, as Ubisoft revealed a full release schedule for the "Tyranny of King Washington" DLC earlier in the week.

AP sources: Navy SEALs raid Somali town
WASHINGTON (AP) — A U.S. official tells The Associated Press that Navy SEALs have raided a Somali coastal town looking for an al-Qaida suspect in connection with the Nairobi shopping mall attack, but did not get their target.
Two U.S. officials who discussed the raid spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to be identified.
One of the officials describes the raid as a capture operation against a high-value target. That official says U.S. forces engaged al-Shabab militants and inflicted some casualties, but that no U.S. service members were harmed.
In Somalia, officials say international military forces carried out a pre-dawn strike in the town of Barawe.
The strike comes two weeks after al-Shabab militants killed at least 67 people at Nairobi's Westgate Mall.

OAKLAND — Public confidence in Caltrans has "taken a beating" as a result of broken Bay Bridge rods that are expected to cost as much as $10 million to fix, said a high-ranking transportation official. Because of the selected fix, the agency does not yet know if it can meet the planned Labor Day opening.
Speaking at a meeting of the Bay Area Toll Authority on Wednesday morning, Steve Heminger, executive director of Metropolitan Transportation Commission, said there are a lot of factors involved in making a decision on timing of the bridge opening, including a review of the problems by the Federal Highway Administration. It's review will help determine how to proceed with inspections and fixes.
California Transportation Commission Executive Director Andre Boutros told those at the meeting that the planned repair for seismic safety rods that snapped on the new span of the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge could cost between $5 million and $10 million.
The rods connect steel earthquake safety devices called shear keys to the deck of the bridge and a large concrete cap. Shear keys help control swaying during an earthquake.
Boutros said officials plan to install a "saddle" over the shear key where 32 broken rods — part of a batch of steel manufactured in 2008 — are embedded. Those rods have been deemed worthless in providing seismic stability for the bridge. Boutros said the repair will provide the same high level of seismic safety as was called for in the original design of the bridge.
He said officials are still hopeful they can open the bridge on schedule on Labor Day, but that decision will have to wait until another special meeting scheduled for May 29. At that time, transportation officials will be able to update the commissioners about further testing on other bay bridge bolts manufactured in 2010, and whether those pieces will have to be replaced, and the timetable for accomplishing that.
The new bridge, which is replacing a span damaged during the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, is designed to withstand a major temblor. It is already years late in opening and billions of dollars over budget.

The National Security Agency collected Americans' email records — account information and IP addresses — for over a decade, the Guardian has reported. The collection did not include content of emails. Nicknamed Stellar Wind, the email-tracking program began after the 9/11 attacks in 2001 under President George W. Bush. The Obama Administration inherited the program and cancelled it in 2011.
"The Internet metadata collection program authorized by the FISA court was discontinued in 2011 for operational and resource reasons and has not been restarted,' Shawn Turner, director of communications for national intelligence, told the Guardian. "The program was discontinued by the executive branch as the result of an interagency review."
NBC News reported yesterday that retired Marine General and former vice chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff James Cartwright is apparently being investigated for leaking information on the Stuxnet virus, which sabotaged Iran's nuclear enrichment plants in 2010, to New York Times reporter David Sanger.
Also, the Washington Post is reporting that USIS, the outside firm in charge of conducting background checks for the government and which gave top-secret clearance to PRISM leaker Edward Snowden, hasn't been as thorough as it claimed it has been. A federal watchdog is going to recommend that the company be fired if it doesn't shape up.

TOKYO, JAPAN – Following reports this week of a Japanese restaurant employing monkey waiters, Shibuya hideaway, DaiDai, has hired the world's tiniest Bigfoot!
Standing just under 3 feet tall, the mini-Bigfoot, known as Kyojin, buses tables while occasionally standing in for the hostess on busy nights.
"Kyojin can do the work of 3 busboys, despite his tiny stature," DaiDai manager Masaru Ito said through a translator.
When asked if the company had any reservations about hiring a Bigfoot to work in the restaurant, Ito replied, "None at all. The Bigfoot are magical creatures highly respected and revered in Japan. It is an honor to have one wash your dishes."
Whether we will continue to see the employment of these creatures in Japan is yet to be known. As the world economy continues its downturn, the potential for a backlash against companies choosing to employ super-natural born citizens is likely to increase.

Assassin's Creed III Set in Mohawk Valley
The Assassin's Creed games have become some of Ubisoft's top performers, and the fifth game in the series (yes, Assassin's Creed: Revelations throws off the numbering) is set to release on October 30th. Here's everything you need to know about the game.
- New setting. The previous games took place in the late 12th century and the late 15th century in Europe. This one moves us across the pond to Revolutionary War-era America. The biggest change here is shifting away from the enormous, bustling cities of Renaissance Europe to the humbler settlements of the new United States. The game promises both Boston and New York, but also huge swaths of wilderness in between.
- New protagonist. Altair and Ezio, the main characters of the last games, were both members of the Assassin's Order that battled against the Templars. Our new guy, Connor Kenway, seems far removed from this secret organization of killers – he's a half-Indian mutt who sees his village destroyed and sets out for revenge.
- The end to the story. If you haven't played the other games, here's the basic twist: all of your past-time adventures are being experienced by a guy named Desmond Miles, a descendant of all three protagonists. Plugged into a device called the Animus, he can reach back into his ancestral DNA and experience their lives. This also tips him off that the world's set to end on December 12, 2012. Ubisoft has said they don't want gamers playing a game set in "the future" of a year that's already past, so expect Desmond's quest to find resolution.
- New weapons. Connor can take lives with all kinds of tools, including a pair of flintlock pistols, a bow and arrow and a rope with a blade attached. But his primary weapon is a tomahawk carved in the shape of the Assassin insignia. This puppy can take scalps like nobody's business.
- New environments. One of the biggest pleasures in the series is using your acrobatic skills to navigate the world, and Assassin's Creed III looks to rack that up a couple hundred notches. In addition to the parkour-inspired city running, you'll be able to climb trees and jump from branch to branch, scale cliffs, get bogged down in snow and much more. You can also use your eagle vision to track and kill animals and skin them for pelts.
- New historical figures. Considering that the game takes place during one of the most important and violent eras in American history, it's not surprising that Connor will cross paths with people like George Washington, Benjamin Franklin and more. I doubt you get to kill any of them, though.
- Bears. First Assassin's Creed game to have bears. Pre-order now.


text: Can an average-looking, heavyset woman find true love despite the odds? Kim Sam Soon (Kim Sun Ah) seems to have the deck stacked against her. She is considered average looking, a little heavyset, and definitely an "old miss" at the age of 30. To add insult to injury, she discovers that her long-term boyfriend has been cheating on her and also loses her job as a pastry chef on the same Christmas Eve night. After a few embarrassing run-ins with Hyun Jin Heon (Hyun Bin), the young owner of Bon Appetit restaurant, Sam Soon is hired as the new pastry chef at Jin Heon's restaurant. While squabbling from the get-go, Jin Heon and Sam Soon realize they can help each other out and enter into a contract to pose as boyfriend and girlfriend so Jin Heon's mother will stop pressuring him to go on blind dates. But their pretend relationship gets complicated when Jin Heon's ex-girlfriend, Yoo Hee Jin (Jung Ryu Won), returns from the United States — with Dr. Henry Kim (Daniel Henney) in tow — to win him back. "My Name Is Kim Sam Soon," also known as "My Lovely Sam Soon," is a 2005 South Korean drama series that won numerous awards at the 2005 MBC Drama Awards, 2006 Baeksang Arts Awards and the 2006 Seoul International Drama Awards, including the Grand Prize and Best Miniseries.

Green Day Unveil Brand-New Official Band Photo
Green Day have issued a brand-new official band photo (via Twitter) ahead of their forthcoming three-album blitz known as '¡Uno!,' '¡Dos!,' and '¡Tre!' trilogy — and it's a pretty sweet shot. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong and the boys mug for the cameras with their typical goofy faces in the picture, which we assume is a punk-rock band version of a high school yearbook shot.
The band has been keeping rather busy as of late, gearing up for the trio of discs first by releasing 'Oh Love' as the lead single off '¡Uno!,' announcing plans for an 'Oh Love' EP coming out via Walmart and also reissuing all eight of their previous full-length studio albums as a massive box set collection. They also recently released a live video for the tune 'Let Yourself Go,' which you can check out here.
Meanwhile, Armstong himself has signed up to be a mentor on 'The Voice' starting this fall, and to be honest, we can't wait to see how that turns out. If it doesn't work out, no worries — we've come up with our own list of 10 other rockers we would love to see as mentors on 'The Voice.'

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy — How does the pope spend his vacation? Most people would be right when they guess: reading, writing, playing the piano, walking, and praying. But who knew he also likes to feed the goldfish at one of the artificial pools in the gardens of the papal summer residence?
Thanks to footage released to news agencies by the Vatican Television Center, we got a sneak peek of some of the things the pope has been doing since he began his month-long vacation July 7 in this beautiful mountain town about 20 miles south of Rome.
The Vatican newspaper, L'Osservatore Romano, also published a rundown of the pope's summer program just a few days ago saying the pope was enjoying a relaxing period dedicated to prayer and reflection. It said he also sets aside time to listen to or play music and take long walks in the afternoons with his personal secretary, Msgr. Georg Ganswein.
Because all public and private audiences have been suspended until Aug. 4, the pope has been able to catch up on a number of projects, most importantly, beginning work on his third and final volume of "Jesus of Nazareth."
He's also going through stacks of mail and preparing talks he will be giving on his upcoming trips to the United Kingdom, Sept. 16-19; Palermo, Oct. 3; and Spain, Nov. 6-7.
He's also preparing for the Oct. 10-24 special Synod of Bishops on the Middle East as well as the apostolic exhortation from the World Synod of Bishops on the Bible.
Among the few special guests the pope will receive at the papal summer residence include his secretary of state, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, and the pope's brother, Msgr. Georg Ratzinger.
From Aug. 28-29, the pope will host his traditional "Ratzinger Schulerkreis" (Ratzinger student circle) with former students of his. This year the topic will be the hermeneutic of Vatican II, a theme the pope talked about in his address to the Roman Curia Dec. 22, 2005. Here's another interesting take on the topic.

Helen L. Christy, 72, an artist and interior designer who for many years operated the Helen L. Jones French Antiques store in Chestnut Hill, died Nov. 16 at the Hillcrest Convalescent Center in Durham, N.C. after a lengthy illness.
Mrs. Christy's store, at 8436 Germantown Ave., was widely known for offering the finest imported antiques from France, many of which were personally selected by the owner on frequent buying trips.
Born in Wilkes-Barre, Mrs. Christy attended Skidmore College and the Parsons School of Design in New York. In the 1960s, she moved with her first husband, Morgan R. Jones, to Chestnut Hill, where she raised three sons while pursuing a career as an artist.
After a divorce in the 1980s, she decided to start a business of her own.
Her love for antiques, color and design became the basis of a career as an interior designer, and many of her home designs were featured in the Philadelphia Inquirer and in Condé Nast magazines.
In 1991, she married John Gilray Christy. The couple built a French Provincial-style home in Wyndmoor and traveled the globe together. Mrs. Christie recreated the memories of those trips in her artwork as watercolors, pastels, oil paintings and pottery. In 2001 and 2002, she studied at the Vermont Studio Center.
Mr. Christy died in 2011.
An avid gardener and floral designer, she won numerous awards at the Philadelphia Flower Show. She had been a member of the Wissahickon Garden Club of Philadelphia and hosted garden tours at her home in Wyndmoor.
She also had been a member of the Philadelphia Cricket Club.
She is survived by sons Evan Llewellyn Jones, of Durham, N.C., Morgan Richards Jones Jr. and Brynley Rowlands Jones, both of Philadelphia; a stepson, Andrew Christy; a stepdaughter, Jennifer Christy; three grandchildren, and four step-grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 22, at the Morris Arboretum, 100 E. Northwestern Ave., in Chestnut Hill. For information, call 215-247-5777. – WF

Canadian carrier Rogers, who announced their strong support of Windows Phone 8 back in October, is offering some sweet deals on their entire lineup of Windows devices. And what an impressive lineup it is. Right now, customers who sign up for a Rogers 3-year FLEXtab plan will be able to choose one of the following Windows Phone 8 handsets:
- HTC 8X (8GB) for $0.01
- HTC 8X (16GB) for $29.99
- Nokia Lumia 920 for $49.99
- Samsung ATIV S for $79.99
The Nokia Lumia 920 is being offered exclusively by Rogers in Canada. And while that and the HTC 8X are available now, the elusive Samsung ATIV S is listed as "coming soon." For those interested in Windows Phone 7 or Windows 8 RT devices, the sale also includes deals on the Nokia Lumia 900 and Samsung ATIV Smart PC.
If you live in Canada and you've been waiting on moving to WP8, it looks like now is a great time to do it.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The Los Angeles Clippers are sweating on the fitness of All-Star forward Blake Griffin, who aggravated an ankle injury during a first-round playoff loss to Memphis on Tuesday that leaves the team on the brink of elimination.
Griffin was withdrawn during the third quarter of the 103-93 loss and is now questionable for Game Six on Friday with the Clippers 3-2 behind in the best-of-seven series.
The Los Angeles big man was originally hurt during a Monday practice when he jumped and landed on the foot of team mate Lamar Odom.
"It's just an unfortunate thing, a freak accident," Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro told reporters following his team's latest setback in the series.
"As the game went on, (the injury) got worse and worse. He was struggling to move in the third a little bit and that's when I just pulled the plug."
Griffin, a dynamic presence known for his highlight dunks, was grounded by the injury and could only manage four points and five rebounds in 20 minutes of action.
Following the game, he said he was not certain whether he would be able to play on Friday and his physical condition would likely to be limited even if he could.
The Grizzlies have won three consecutive games against Los Angeles to move into the driver's seat with the penultimate game in Memphis.
Though the outlook appears bleak for the Clippers, they can draw on the experience of last season's first-round series when they overcame the Grizzlies with a Game Seven triumph in Memphis.
"We're not going to lay down," Del Negro added. "We know we have to play better. We need more production from everyone."

Get directions to Wabash College Fine Arts Center
The Wabash College Theater Department will present Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet, which opens Wednesday and runs through Saturday in the Experimental Theater in the Fine Arts Center.
The performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. each evening.
Click here to see photographs from Sunday's dress rehearsal.
The winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize for drama, David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross offers audiences a snake's-eye view of the real estate business. In that world, knowing the shot, closing the deal, and getting up on the Cadillac board are all that matter. And desperation reigns.
Nearly a quarter of a century after its London premiere and successful Broadway run, Glengarry's cocktail of ambition and agony still impacts our popular culture—from the sheepish Gil on The Simpsons to Entourage's Ari Gold.
The New York Times' Ben Brantley wrote "[it] feels like having espresso pumped directly into your bloodstream." Brimming with intense, crackling dialogue, Glengarry Glen Ross reveals the dark underside of the American Dream.
Warning: There is adult language in the play.The cast list includes Wabash students: Kyle Cassidy and Spencer Elliot (pictured left), Dustin Foster, Matt Goodrich, Josuè Gutièrrez, Patrick McAlister, James Morey, and Luke Robbins.James Cherry is the director. Assistant Director is Nelson Barre and stage manager is Cody Grady.Seating for Theater productions will be by general admission, though free tickets are required for Theater productions.For tickets contact the Fine Arts Center Box Office by email at firstname.lastname@example.com; phone: 765-361-6411. Box Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 12 noon and 1:30 to 4 p.m. The box office will open 90 minutes before curtain time. Tickets not claimed at the Box Office 10 minutes prior to curtain will be released to the general public.The final theater production for the 2007-2008 season will be A Flea in Her Ear on April 16-19.

Nice Fish
I guess Dion has decided to fish Mr. Harper. BTW, Dion won the fishing tournament, proving he can do well against slimy, cold blooded, razor toothed adversaries :)

That picture speaks volumes, doesn't it.
There he is, completely out of his element, the bookish academic acting the outdoorsman, probably never having held a fish in his life, looking like he's holding a soiled diaper.
About as believable as Dion wanting to actually face Harper in an election.
Harper's fishing with real barbed lures,while Dion's got his kiddie bobbin floating in the water with no hook.
Great picture!

Oh Anon - try to be honest instead of the nonsense you spew. You probably know that Dion has been an avid outdoorsman and fisherman for years and years.
He also plays hockey. You know, a man's man kind of guy.
By the way, Bill Gates is/was a nerd and look where he is today...careful about attacking nerds.

Sensitive government document found on rainy Ottawa street
Papers discovered include risk assessment of Environment Canada database
Last Updated: Friday, August 15, 2008 | 11:28 AM ET
This document, marked 'Protected B,' describes ways that intruders could hack into an Environment Canada intelligence and enforcement database called NEMISIS. It was found lying on an Ottawa street corner. (CBC)A sensitive government document detailing a classified computer database has been given to the CBC after it was found lying on an Ottawa street in a rain-stained, tire-marked brown envelope.
The document is a risk assessment of an Environment Canada classified environmental enforcement database. It details a number of the system's failings and describes exactly how the data could be attacked and corrupted, the CBC's James Cudmore reported.
The so-called NEMISIS database is used by officers to track and prosecute polluters and environmental law-breakers.
The acronym stood for National Enforcement Management Information System and Intelligence System when it was unveiled in 1999. However, the title page of the mislaid document calls it the National Enforcement and Emergency Management Information System and Intelligence System, adding the words "and Emergency" to the name.
The assessment described in detail exactly how the database could be attacked by industrial hackers and organized crime, as well as environmental activists.
If someone were able to shut the system down, or hack inside and delete or corrupt the information, officers might not be able to prosecute their cases, which would seriously interfere with the enforcement of the law, the risk assessment said.
"NEMISIS is operating at high risk," the analysis determined.
The document — spotted by a passer-by on Castlefrank Road in Ottawa's Kanata area — is marked "Protected B" at the top of each of its 131 pages.
While documents labelled Protected B are not top-secret, they must be handled with special care for security reasons and not left lying around for just anyone to see, said Christian Rouillard, an expert on public administration and associate professor at the University of Ottawa's school of political studies.
'No justification for losing a document'
And.....of course Baird says....

Harper at a rally in NLD:
Moments later, he said: "So when Newfoundland finally joined together with us in Confederation in 1867, we all say it was like a family reunion."
Newfoundland did not join Canada until 1949 after a very close referendum.

"probably never having held a fish in his life"
LOL, your ignorance is astounding. The guy's an avid fisherman, maybe you have him confused with "sit in the stands" Harper.
Oh, and I would normally just delete the crap, but you look like such a colossal moron...
I saw that Newfoundland comment, a nice gaffe to contrast with the false "concern".

anon says "Harper's fishing with real barbed lures..."
Ah, citizen, where I come from the real fisherfolk use barbless hooks (and flies, not bait, FWIW).
We mercilessly mock the barbed-hook and bait crowd, but quietly between ourselves, so as not to hurt their manly feelings.

If Dion is really a fisherman, people need to know that (I did not.) In the pic, he just looks out of his element (deadpan expression adds to the zombie effect) -- like posing with a fish that the other guys caught. In this particular picture, he looks like he would be a lot happier if he gave up fishing.
Ruralsandi -- to read something political into the lost document story is really showing desperation.

Steve, your partisanship is showing. Not pretty.
- 5:54 PM, August 17, 2008
- Steve V said...
Absolutely not. Environmental policy, shut out the experts. Taxcuts, didn't listen to the experts. Needle program, ignored the expert analysis. Crime, ignored the findings.
I think you're partisanship may cloud your objectivity, because it really is as clear as day. I would add, the "academic" crack was made by a Conservative, the type of tripe I'm sure you have heard often coming from Conservatives. Maybe it has to do with the inverse relationship between conservatism and education. There was a huge study done once, that showed that people's political views tended to move left the more educated they became. That's a generalization, but I've certainly see a hostility to academia coming from many Cons, recently nothing more pronounce that the climate change debate. Why is it, that all the deniers seem to be Conservatives, despite the OVERWHELMING scientific opinion? It's because alot of these people are ignorant, they don't even understand how scientific inquiry works, they are suspicious of knowledge.
