The most common types of wireless security are Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP is a notoriously weak security standard. The password it uses can often be cracked in a few minutes with a basic laptop computer and widely available software tools. WEP is an old IEEE 802.11 standard from 1999, which was outdated in 2003 by WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access. WPA was a quick alternative to improve security over WEP. The current standard is WPA2; some hardware cannot support WPA2 without firmware upgrade or replacement. WPA2 uses an encryption device that encrypts the network with a 256-bit key; the longer key length improves security over WEP. Enterprises often enforce security using a certificate-based system to authenticate the connecting device, following the standard 802.1 X. Solution:
the original wireless network privacy and protection standard for wi-fi was known as

Q: I recently purchased the Power Cotton & Rubber Waist Cincher, and loved it so much I thought I'd give this one a try as well. As far as the smell, it's very faint. Washing it prior to use and putting plenty of dryer sheets in should help the smell diminish pretty quickly. The fit was nice & comfortable. But it's not a solid black like you'd assume. Prepare for a charcoal black/gray color for the exterior. The interior rubber WILL make you sweat ladies, so get ready to have a sticky abdomen at the end of the day. The same thing with the waist cincher, the back begins to bunch up and make wrinkles after a few days.Overall, great product. A:

You will be given a definition of a task first, then some input of the task. In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them. For the first time in its history, MSNBC was the most-watched cable network during the weekday prime time this past week, ratings data show. The network averaged approximately 90,000 more viewers than runner-up Fox News at primetime—8 p.m. to 11 p.m.—during the week of July 17 through July 21, according to a statement from the network, which cited Nielsen ratings. MSNBC had 2.34 million viewers during weekday prime time, while Fox News had 2.25 million. The Disney Channel was third, with 1.74 million. (For the full week of prime time—Monday through Sunday—Fox News averaged 1.9 million total viewers, putting it ahead of MSNBC’s 1.8 million. It was Fox’s ninth week in the top spot.) MSNBC’s weekday lineup from 7 p.m. through midnight was also first among cable networks. “MSNBC was previously No. 1 in cable news in weekday prime during the weeks of May 15, 2017 (behind TNT) and September 3, 2012 (behind USA) among total viewers, but this was the 1st time MSNBC was No. 1 among all of cable,” the network said in a statement. ||||| For the first time in its 21-year history, MSNBC attracted the largest weekday primetime crowd of any cable network – news or otherwise. MSNBC ended the week of July 17-21 with a weekday prime average of 2.34 million viewers, besting second-place Fox News Channel’s 2.25 million. But MSNBC also outstripped non-news cable nets. MSNBC previously was No. 1-ranked in cable news in weekday prime during the week of May 15 but came in behind TNT. Similarly, it bested cable news competition but finished behind USA the week of September 3, 2012. Fox News Channel once again dominated all of basic cable in weekday total day, averaging 1.4 million total viewers, besting MSNBC’s 1.12M. MSNBC also finished behind Nickelodeon (1.27M) for weekday total day. ||||| Monday through Friday, the network ranked as the most-watched network across all of primetime cable. Maintaining a streak of ratings momentum and general good news, MSNBC logged a new first last week: It ranked as the most-watched primetime network in all of cable. That status, held Monday (July 17) through Friday (July 21) and not for the entire seven-day week, saw the cable news network averaging 2.33 million viewers between 8 and 11 p.m. MSNBC had previous topped the other cable news outlets for the five-day week, once in May and once before in 2012, but this is the first time it also outranked cable's entertainment networks. The network finished the week ahead of Fox News Channel, Disney, USA and HGTV. Good news for MSNBC was also good news for Rachel Maddow. Her show ranked No. 2 in all of basic cable, trailing only WWE Entertainment. Through the five nights, MSNBC also ranked as the No. 1 network in cable among adults 25-54. With an average 542,000 viewers in the key demo, it outrated Fox News (430,000) by 26 percent. (Across all of cable, MSNBC trailed only USA and TBS.) While The Rachel Maddow Show has often been unbeatable for much of this year, and MSNBC has scored key victories over Fox News and CNN on several occasions, FNC has maintained its overall lead. It recently wrapped the second quarter with wins among total viewers and the key demo, as all three cable news networks see continued year-over-year ratings growth. With the full-week reported by Nielsen on July 25, FNC climbed atop MSNBC — 1.93 million viewers to 1.84 million. ||||| Output:
Since it first took to the air in 1996, MSNBC has been deep in the fray, vying for coveted ratings in the fiercely competitive cable-television arena. Twenty-one years later, it has finally nabbed a big one: the biggest weekday prime-time cable audience, not only against news networks, but all networks on the cable landscape. Per Deadline, MSNBC posted a weekday prime-time average of 2.34 million viewers during the week of July 17 through 21, besting Fox News, which came in that week at 2.25 million. The Disney Channel came in third, with 1.74 million, per Fortune. The Hollywood Reporter notes that MSNBC has come ahead of both Fox and CNN before during the 8pm to 11pm weekday slot—once in 2012, then again this May—but it didn't surpass other non-news networks like USA and TNT. HuffPo notes MSNBC has often come ahead of CNN in the Nielsens, but it lags behind Fox, which up until recently boasted a powerhouse prime-time lineup of Bill O'Reilly, Megyn Kelly, and Sean Hannity. But now, with O'Reilly and Kelly gone from the network, opportunity has arisen for other networks to make inroads. TheWrap notes that overall viewership at MSNBC has jumped 78% since this time last year. Part of what's helped MSNBC as a contender is Rachel Maddow, who in her 9pm slot has been topping CNN's and Fox's ratings in that same time period for the past month or so—and whose show was almost the most-watched last week, second only to WWE programming. What may also appeal to viewers: "MSNBC is simply more transparent" about its strong liberal leanings, Joe Concha, who reports for the Hill, tells TheWrap.

In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them. With celebrities like Tim Gunn calling out the fashion industry for failing to cater to women of all sizes, Meijer is making some changes. Tuesday, Nov. 1, the retailer announced the plus-size departments in all stores across the Midwest will be integrated into missy and women’s -- placing straight and extended sizes on one rack. According to a press release, Meijer "is proud to create a shopping experience based on trends, not size." “Over the past few years, we’ve placed an increased focus on bringing more on-trend, affordable apparel to our customers,” said Peter Whitsett, executive vice president of merchandising and marketing in the release. “This fresh approach to shopping represents a continuation of that commitment, giving our customers the trends they’re looking for, regardless of what size they wear.” As part of this change, Meijer is also rolling out equal pricing for all women’s apparel items, no longer charging more for plus sizes despite the higher production costs. There are no plans to raise existing clothing prices. This shopping experience is currently available in 15 Meijer stores. Customers will see a full roll-out to all 230 stores by early 2017. ||||| WALKER, MI - Meijer Inc. is showing its commitment to plus-size apparel by getting rid of the plus-size department, and putting all clothing on the same rack. The Michigan-based retailer says all women's clothing, regardless of size, will be in one location. The clothing, sizes XS through 3X, will also be at the same price, even if that means Meijer pays higher production costs for the larger sizes. "It's a big deal for our customers," said Annette Repasch, the retailer's group vice president of softlines, which includes clothing. "We are giving them trends of what they are looking for, regardless of size." The approach of same sizes, same place, same price is revolutionary in the retail business, Repasch said. "We are looking to see how it goes and are willing to pioneer it," she said. The new policy is for both Meijer brands, such as Falls Creek, Massini and MTA, as well as major label brands carried by the retailer and its competitors. Another benefit of combining all sizes into one department is that it frees up floor space for more apparel options, the company said. Meijer began experimenting with the new approach in June at 15 stores, and will roll out the new configuration to all of its 230 Midwest stores by early 2017. The decision comes as the average American woman now wears a size 16 to 18, motivating retailers to improve their plus-size clothing options, reports the Wall Street Journal. ||||| One retailer believes it's found a way to ease the stigma felt by certain shoppers while at the same time improving sales. The Wall Street Journal reports Meijer will be desegregating its plus-size clothing in its 230 stores by early 2017. Most stores keep their plus-size sections out of the way and don't offer plus-size clothing in as many styles. That will no longer be the case at Meijer. WZZM quotes Meijer executive Peter Whitsett, who says the change gives "our customers the trends they're looking for, regardless of what size they wear." Meijer will now have all its clothes, from XS to XXXL, on the same racks. It also won't charge more for larger sizes. The change means Meijer will have to eat the extra cost of plus-size clothing, something the company says is worth it. "It's a big deal for our customers," Mlive.com quotes Meijer executive Annette Repasch as saying. "We are giving them trends of what they are looking for, regardless of size." Sales of plus-size clothing are growing twice as fast as any other clothing segment. It's estimated that sales of plus-size clothing will be up 17% this year from 2013. It's also estimated that 34% of teens will buy plus-size clothing this year—nearly double what it was in 2012. (Amy Schumer says a magazine sent the wrong message by labeling her plus-size.)

The decorations were tennis-themed -- the guest seating placards were in the shape of Wimbledon and U.S. Open trophies. Pretty damn awesome. We'll have more on this throughout the day-- so keep checking back! Mazel! ||||| Serena Williams is a married woman. The tennis sensation wed Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian Thursday evening in New Orleans. The couple, who are proud new parents of 11-week-old daughter Alexis Olympia Jr., tied the knot at the Contemporary Arts Center in the French Quarter, where they said their “I do’s” in front of a star-studded crowd, including Beyoncé, Kim Kardashian and Vogue editor Anna Wintour. People also reported newly engaged Caroline Wozniacki joined the festivities with her future husband, former Knick David Lee. While Williams, 36, confirmed to Vanity Fair that she and Ohanian, 34, would wed this fall, much of their glitzy ceremony was shrouded in secrecy until hours before. Sources told Page Six the guests weren’t informed of the wedding locale in advance and told cars would pick them up from their hotels on the day of the event. Those invited were also said to be banned from posting snaps on social media, given that Williams inked a deal to share her wedding photos exclusively with Vogue. They started dating in 2015, and Ohanian popped the question to Williams a year later while the twosome vacationed in Rome. The tennis pro later announced the engagement on Reddit. “This time he made it not by chance / But by choice,” Williams gushed. “Down on one knee / He said 4 words / And I said yes,” Williams shared. Months after getting engaged, Williams accidentally revealed her pregnancy in April, showcasing her baby bump on Snapchat. She and Ohanian welcomed their first child in September. Williams is expected to return to the tennis circuit next year. ||||| Serena Williams and Alexis Ohanian got married Thursday night in a New Orleans wedding ceremony that Page Six reports was "shrouded in secrecy until hours before." Sources say even the guests didn't know where the wedding would be held until cars picked them up from their hotels and they were taken to the venue, the French Quarter's Contemporary Arts Center. Once they arrived, the guests—who included Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, and Anna Wintour—were not allowed to post photos on social media, though People has photos of guests arriving. TMZ reports the nuptials were tennis-themed, with guests' place cards in the form of tennis trophies. Williams, 36, and Reddit co-founder Ohanian, 34, just had a daughter together. (Sister Venus Williams lost a small fortune in a burglary.) Hall of Fame coach Joe Paterno has a treatable form of lung cancer, his son Scott said Friday. Scott Paterno said in a statement his dad was undergoing treatment and that "his doctors are optimistic he will make a full recovery." Scott Paterno said the illness was diagnosed during a follow-up visit last weekend for a bronchial illness. "As everyone can appreciate, this is a deeply personal matter for my parents, and we simply ask that his privacy be respected as he proceeds with treatment," Scott Paterno said in a brief statement. PHOTOS: Images of Joe Paterno Paterno was fired last week by Penn State with the school engulfed in a scandal involving sex abuse charges against former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. Paterno had announced plans to resign at the end of the season, but the board of regents made the decision to remove him and school president Graham Spanier. The NCAA informed Penn State in a letter it will conduct an investigation into the school's actions surrounding the scandal. Paterno coached the Nittany Lions for 46 season and led the school to national championship in 1982 and 1986. He is the winningest coach in major college history with 409 victories. But his legacy as a coach has come under attack with the allegations against Sandusky, who was his assistant from 1969-99. Assistant coach Mike McQueary testified before a grand jury that he witnessed Sandusky engaged in a sex act with a young boy in 2002. McQueary said that he told Paterno about the incident the following day. Paterno testified before the grand jury that eventually charged Sandusky with 40 crimes. He said he told athletics director Tim Curley about McQueary's story, but never went to police. Curley is charged with perjury and failure to report a crime. "This is a tragedy," Paterno said in a statement when he announced plans to resign at the end of the season. "It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more."

Teacher:In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them. Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Topics: Opening Shot, Editor's Picks, John Boehner, Barack Obama, Fiscal cliff, Politics News Last night was hardly the first public humiliation that John Boehner has suffered at the hands of his fellow Republicans, but it’s probably the most stark. And it raises some very basic questions about the House speaker’s political future – like whether he even has one. That Boehner had devised and pursued Plan B in the first place seemed to speak to his weak grip on the GOP conference. Boehner and President Obama had negotiated their way to within spitting distance of each other, with the president giving significant ground on his revenue demands, agreeing to a reduction in Social Security benefits, and giving up on a payroll tax holiday extension. But when word of the looming deal leaked, House Republicans let their displeasure be known, and the speaker announced that he’d instead hold a vote on a bill to extend the Bush tax rates for all income under $1 million. That was Plan B. Exactly where Plan B fit into Boehner’s overall strategy was a matter of some debate, but he pressed hard for it and confidently predicted he had the 218 votes needed to pass it. So now we know that not only does Boehner not have sufficient support among Republicans to pass a potential compromise with Obama, he also doesn’t have the support to pass his own plan. It’s still possible some kind of fiscal cliff deal will be completed before Jan. 1, but it’s hard to see how. Last night’s developments are a clear sign that a significant chunk of Republicans are simply committed to never voting for any kind of tax hike – even one on a tiny chunk of super-wealthy people, even when it comes with some serious concessions from the other party, and even when failing to act means that taxes will go up for everyone. The most likely scenario now is that Jan. 1 will come and go, the Bush tax cuts will expire for all Americans, and President Obama and Democrats will then introduce a bill to restore the Bush rates for most people – maybe using the $250,000 income threshold that Obama stuck with until this week. Maybe then, when the vote really would be for a tax cut, Republicans will sign off on it. But for now, that’s not where they are. ||||| Has there been a House speaker in modern American history with less control over his members than John Boehner? Sad trombone. (Charles Dharapak / AP) Over the past three days, Boehner has focused all attention on "Plan B": an effort to strengthen his hand in negotiations with President Obama by passing backup legislation that would extend the Bush tax cuts for all income under $1 million. Tonight, Boehner lost that vote. In a dramatic turn of events on the House floor, he pulled the legislation. In a statement released moments ago, he said, "The House did not take up the tax measure today because it did not have sufficient support from our members to pass." Boehner lost. Plan A, which was a deal with Obama, was put on ice, many believe, because Boehner couldn't wrangle the votes to pass anything Obama would sign. Plan B failed because Boehner couldn't wrangle the Republican votes to pass something Obama had sworn he wouldn't sign. The failure of Plan B proved something important: Boehner doesn't have enough Republican support to pass any bill that increases taxes -- even one meant to block a larger tax increase -- without a significant number of Democrats. The House has now adjourned until after Christmas, but it's clear now what Plan C is going to have to be: Boehner is going to need to accept the simple reality that if he's to be a successful speaker, he's going to need to begin passing legislation with Democratic votes. There's an asterisk there, though: It's not entirely clear whether Boehner will be the speaker of the House a month from today. The vote to elect the next speaker is on Jan. 3. To win, you need an absolute majority of the House, not a plurality. Even a hopeless conservative challenge that attracts only a handful of Republican votes could deny Boehner the speakership until a consensus candidate emerged. Tonight's vote makes that challenge more likely. A significant number of Boehner's members clearly don't trust his strategic instincts, they don't feel personally bound to support him, they clearly disagree with his belief that tax rates must rise as part of a deal, and they, along with many other Republicans, must be humiliated after the shenanigans on the House floor this evening. Worse, they know that Boehner knows he'll need Democratic support to get a budget deal done. That means "a cave," at least from the perspective of the conservative bloc, is certain. That, too, will make a change of leadership appealing. If a conservative spoiler runs, he or she could very possibly deny Boehner the 218 votes he needs to become speaker, clearing the way for a consensus candidate like Eric Cantor to unite the party. It's hard to say exactly how likely that is. But it's likelier than it was, say, this morning. ||||| Has there been a House speaker in modern American history with less control over his members than John Boehner? Sad trombone.

John Boehner has never looked weaker than he did last night, when Republicans refused to pass Plan B. It "was hardly the first public humiliation" Boehner's troops have dealt him, writes Steve Kornacki at Salon, but "it raises some very basic questions about the House speaker's political future—like whether he even has one." This is a speaker who doesn't even have the GOP votes to pass his own plan, let alone a compromise Obama would be willing to sign. If Boehner stays on as speaker, he's going to have to get used to passing things with Democratic votes—but that's a pretty big if. As Ezra Klein at the Washington Post points out, Boehner will need an absolute majority to win the Jan. 3 speaker election, which means that even a no-hope conservative challenger could derail him, clearing the way for, say, a consensus candidate like Eric Cantor to come forward. Kornacki, meanwhile, can imagine Boehner "just walking away, leaving the gavel for some other unfortunate soul." (Kornacki's full piece here; Klein's here.)
