New York Today: Water Weather

 

Demetrius Freeman/The New York Times Remember this? You may need to find novel ways on Thursday to cool off.

Today the temperature continues to climb.
It is expected to reach 87 degrees, still a far cry from that scorching stretch of July.
When it gets hot, New Yorkers get soaked. Behold, the beloved park spray shower.
Back in 1926, children cooled off in grand fashion: they dove off a City Hall statue into the fountain below.
But their high dives were officially banned after one boy hit his head in the shallow pool, according to an  article in The New York Times from that year.
Women of old New York seemed to have an even harder time cooling off.
An 1889 Times article described their favored (and likely sweltering) swimming get-up: a bodysuit with a blouse and a skirt over top.
Or, perhaps, a flannel top and a skirt, the writer said, complete with “equestrian tights, made with feet, the latter being of extra heavy weave.”
Here’s what you need to know for your Thursday.

Pennsylvania ranked 44th priciest or seventh cheapest, according to a studyBankrate.com released Wednesday.

The average annual tab for gasoline, insurance, repairs, taxes and fees was $2,764 in Pennsylvania, $4,233 in Georgia, and $2,204 in Oregon, the least expensive. Oregon doesn’t have a state sales tax. The national average was $3,201.

What isn’t a bargain in the Keystone State is financing, according to another report, also issued Wednesday, byGoBankingRates.com. At 3.84 percent, as of July 2013, Pennsylvania car owners pay the ninth-most expensive interest rates.

New York Today: Civic Duty

People walk by the 'The New York Times' in New York, March 8, 2011. The New York Times Company announced August 3, 2013 that it has agreed to sell The Boston Globe newspaper for $70 million cash to the principal owner of the Boston Red Sox baseball team. The Times, the premier US newspaper, is selling The Globe for a fraction of the $1.1 billion it paid for the Boston newspaper in 1993. The buyer is John W. Henry, principal owner of the Boston Red Sox, The Times said

But something even more mundane apparently caused the New York Times website outage: human error.

At least that's the consensus of IT pros who discuss things on puck.nether.net. One poster says "a self-inflicted wound, having to do with a software update that was rolled out to both the production and backup servers simultaneously," caused the failure.

Gunter Ollmann, chief technology officer at IOActive, says "based upon a couple of screen shots that people have posted it could have been something as simple as a misconfigured DNS server or load balancer. From the underground side, there's no discussions or perps claiming responsibility. I tend to believe that this was likely self-inflicted."

Tom Kellermann, Trend Micro's vice president of cyber security, for one, doesn't buy that explantion.

Kellermann notes that both the paper's web server and internal e-mail server were inaccessible, even after robust security measures taken in the wake of Chinese hackers targeting the New York Times and other big media outlets late last year and earlier this year.

"It's a good spin to blame this on a crappy update or bad management, but I'm leaning toward the fact that they're under attack again," says Kellermann.

Meanwhile, a blog posted on Monday by researchers at security firm FireEye, adds to the intrigue. Researchers Ned Moran and Nart Villeneuve assert that the Chinese hacking collective that cracked into the New York Times' computer network late last year appear to be at it again, mounting fresh assaults with new and improved versions of malicious software.

"After all the attention paid to security to have a web server and e-mail server go down in tandem just doesn't sound right. You usually lose one or the other, and when you lose your e-mail server it's usually from something nefarious," Kellermann says. "So is it hackers from the past returning to haunt them again or new hacktivists attacking them for something they've done or reported recently?"

Darien Kindlund, FireEye's manager of threat intelligence, says he does not believe the Chinese hacking group tied to earlier New York Times hack -- and back in action again -- caused the outage today.

"It goes against against their whole motive," Kindlund says. "They're into this to steal large scale quantities of intelligence and if they were to disrupt their victims it would be clear what's going on and they'd no longer be able to steal any intelligence."

New York Times Company Posts a 2nd-Quarter Profit

The New York Times Company swung to a profit in the second quarter on stronger circulation revenue and lower operating costs, but continued weakness in advertising weighed on results.
 

¶ The company reported on Thursday that net income rose to $20.1 million, or 13 cents a share, from a loss of $87.6 million, or 58 cents a share, in the period a year earlier.

¶ Last year’s second-quarter results were hurt by write-downs related to the sales of About.com and the company’s regional newspaper group. Excluding those items, income from continuing operations was $20.1 million, compared with $38.1 million in the period a year earlier.

¶ Total revenue for the quarter declined less than 1 percent, to $485.4 million, from $489.8 million in the second quarter of 2012. Circulation revenue rose 5.1 percent, to $245.1 million, from $233.3 million. But that gain was largely offset by a 5.8 percent decline in advertising revenue, to $207.5 million.

¶ Print advertising at the company’s newspapers, which include The New York Times, The Boston Globe and The International Herald Tribune, declined 6.8 percent, and digital advertising fell 2.7 percent. Digital advertising now accounts for 24.7 percent of the company’s total advertising revenue.

¶ Operating costs declined 3.1 percent, to $431.9 million, from $445.7 million, mainly because of lower compensation and benefits costs, according to the company.

¶ “Our improved results in the second quarter were an organizationwide effort — with contributions from more favorable revenue trends and strong cost performance,” Mark Thompson, the company’s president and chief executive, said in a statement.

¶ The number of paid subscribers to the Web site, e-reader and other digital editions of The Times and The International Herald Tribune grew to 699,000, a jump of more than 35 percent from the period a year earlier. Digital subscriptions to The Boston Globe and BostonGlobe.com rose to 39,000, an increase of nearly 70 percent from 23,000 a year earlier.

¶ Alexia S. Quadrani, an analyst at JPMorgan Chase, said that while she was pleased with the results, she was also aware of the challenges newspapers were facing.

¶ “As nice it is to see slightly better-than-expected numbers, the fact that we are many years into these declines and they still persist just shows you the secular challenges this industry is facing,” said Ms. Quadrani. “The New York Times has a successful digital platform to help offset some of the ongoing newspaper advertising weakness. It’s still a headwind you’re going to try to offset every day.”

¶ Since Mr. Thompson joined The Times in November, he has focused on rebranding The Times as a global operation. In February, the company announced it would sell the New England Media Group, which includes The Boston Globe, Boston.com, The Worcester Telegram & Gazette and Globe Direct, a direct-mail marketing company. Bids for the properties were due in July but a sale has not been announced.

¶ The Times also announced in February that it would rename The International Herald Tribune, its 125-year-old newspaper based in Paris, The International New York Times. It also will unveil a new Web site for international audiences in the coming months.

¶ The company has also continued to increase its plans to charge readers for content. In June, the company started to charge nonsubscribers who want to read more than three articles a day on The New York Times apps for mobile devices.

¶ “We are making good progress and are on track with our strategic growth initiatives,” Mr. Thompson said. “In particular, we are well under way in the ramp-up for the fall rebrand of The International Herald Tribune as The International New York Times and with the development work related to our new paid products.”
