@placeholder believes North Korea had spent at least eight months preparing for the cyberattacks, which also affected hundreds of individual citizens' computers and websites that cover North Korea, Lee said at a news briefing Wednesday.

An official investigation found that many of the malignant codes employed in the attacks were similar to ones used by the North previously, said Lee Seung-won, an official at the South Korean science ministry. Although some observers said at the time of the computer crashes that they suspected North Korean involvement, this is the first time that Seoul has formally pointed the finger at Pyongyang.

The United States hasn't abandoned Robert Levinson, the retired FBI agent described by his wife as the "longest-held American hostage," Secretary of State John Kerry said Sunday. "There hasn't been progress in the sense that we don't have him back. But to suggest that we've abandoned him or anybody ... is simply incorrect and not helpful," Kerry told ABC's "This Week." "The fact is that I have personally raised the issue, not only at the highest level that I have been involved with, but also through other intermediaries." Levinson disappeared in Iran in March 2007 during a business trip, purportedly undertaken as a private investigator looking into cigarette smuggling. However, The Associated Press and the Washington Post reported Thursday that contrary to what the State Department and Levinson's family have said for years, Levinson actually was working for the CIA in Iran.

Why is Cyprus facing financial problems?

While social and religious conservatives hope her conservative principles continue to guide her action regarding the @placeholder measure, her record on lesbian and gay issues is thin.
Washington (CNN) -- To veto or not to veto: It's up to Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. She must decide if she is going to sign into law legislation that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gay and lesbian customers. If she approves it, the state could face litigation and a boycott, potentially harming Arizona's economy and tourism industry as well as next year's Super Bowl. Arizona lawmakers pass controversial anti-gay bill Brewer told CNN her decision will come after she returns later this week to Arizona from Washington, where she has been attending the National Governors Association meetings. @highlight NEW: NFL, which will host Super Bowl in Arizona next year, says it is monitoring situation @highlight Gov.

Arsenal are facing another injury nightmare with Aaron Ramsey set to be ruled out for up to four weeks. The 23-year-old was taken off at half-time against Galatasaray on Tuesday - Ramsey's third game in a week - after tweaking a hamstring again. He had scored two goals in Turkey, including a 30-yard volley widely hailed as a wonder strike. It comes as a further blow to manager Arsene Wenger, who will also be missing Jack Wilshere in central midfield for several months.

The villain hacks into @placeholder to gain control of the agency's gas pipeline, which allows him to target and blow up specific rooms.
(CNN) -- "Skyfall," the 23rd installment in the James Bond series, one of the longest-running film franchises in history, recently landed at the top of the box office with $87.8 million in ticket sales. It was the largest opening ever for 007 and the fourth largest opening this year, behind "The Avengers," "The Dark Knight Rises," and "The Hunger Games." Ian Fleming's agent has always been a man of wish fulfillment. After all, he brought heat during the chilliest parts of the Cold War and had the requisite women and weapons. Now, Bond is proving that he still has a place at MI6 by tackling a much more modern dilemma: tactical cyberespionage and terrorism. @highlight A cyberterrorism expert takes on "Skyfall's" take on cyberespionage and terrorism @highlight He says accessing top secret information isn't as easy as the movie implies @highlight Like in the film, transportation remains a soft target, according to the expert

Mrs Truss said: ‘We have some brilliant maths teachers in this country but what I saw in Shanghai, and other @placeholder cities, has only strengthened my belief that we can learn from them.
Maths teachers are to be flown in from China to help arrest declining standards in Britain. Sixty English-speaking teachers from Shanghai will be placed in schools from September to promote methods such as rigorous daily maths lessons and homework, ministers will announce today. The move, brokered by Education Minister Liz Truss following a fact-finding trip to China, is the latest in a series of initiatives aimed at reversing a slide in maths standards. It follows research showing that the children of cleaners and catering assistants in Shanghai were better at maths than the children of doctors and lawyers in Britain. @highlight Teachers put in schools from September to promote Chinese methods @highlight Move brokered by Education Minister Liz Truss after fact-finding trip @highlight Research showed catering assistants in Shanghai were better at maths than children of British doctors and lawyers

The letter from the attorneys accused Mr @placeholder of trying to ‘cause confusion, mistake or deception’ among people who may think he is affiliated with Starbucks – his response put those fears to rest after first apologizing for his poor spelling.

Except nobody can then argue that @placeholder needs to bring on the kids to solve this crisis.
Every epic journey starts with a single, small step. Not necessarily from the canteen of a car plant outside Luton, but hey ho. Roy Hodgson, the England manager, is used to playing the hand he has been dealt and on Monday that meant fronting up his World Cup squad, not at Wembley or St George’s Park, or even on stage at the Cafe Royal as in previous years, but at a Vauxhall factory off junction 10 of the M1. The modern Football Association are really spoiled for choice when it comes to suitable venues. They have dramatic locations, magnificent backdrops that would speak of this fine game and its history. @highlight England have a new golden generation heading to the World Cup in Brazil @highlight These are the best players England have; they just happen to be young @highlight Roy Hodgson was right to select Luke Shaw over Ashley Cole

(CNN) -- The stars of "Boy Meets World" had a busy, wedding-filled weekend. On Saturday, actress Danielle Fishel -- Topanga to "Boy Meets World" fans -- enjoyed "one of the most amazing days" of her life as she wed Tim Belusko in a Los Angeles ceremony.

She didn't completely fit in at school at first, Fishel wrote, but "I persevered and sometimes I wasn't the oldest person in class, some of the whisperers became good friends, and I did so well in math, I even became a tutor. And that is how I met my fiancé." @highlight Two stars of "Boy Meets World" got married this weekend @highlight Danielle Fishel wed Tim Belusko in Los Angeles on Saturday @highlight Rider Strong married actress Alexandra Barreto on Sunday
