In addition to leaders, Command Managed Equal Opportunity officers have for many years been advisers to commanding officers and a resource for Sailors. This group is trained for these responsibilities, yet their mission risks being overtaken, or at best duplicated, by untrained volunteer ERG members.
The origin of ERGs is based on the increasingly influential diversity argument. They are a reaction to an imbalance between ethnic and gender ratios in the general population and those in senior military positions. This imbalance has led to an assumption of discrimination or limited opportunities for women and ethnic minorities, and the determination that there is a lack of mentoring for these groups. Creating another program will not necessarily solve the problem. If leaders have not provided the mentoring their subordinates need and deserve, then they have failed as leaders. Holding them accountable and demanding good mentoring, with or without an ERG, is the solution.
Assuming ERGs will have some benefit, they are still needless and have a disturbing aspect: voluntary segregation. Stated more obviously, these groups legitimize segregation, even if voluntary and in small groups. Belonging to a particular affinity group is not required for participation in a related ERG, but individuals tend to flock toward their own. This is seen today in many informal groups; command social events and ships' mess decks are two great examples.
People are naturally drawn to those with whom they share some trait. Sailors do it all the time along many lines large and small; race, warfare community, geographic origin, and many others. ERGs will further divide people by membership in social sub-groups. Simultaneously, each ERG will create a special-interest group. Considering what special interests have done to our society by influencing government, do we really want to create them within our service ?
For those contemplating the types of potential ERGs, a quick Google search reveals many civilian organizations that use them. One of those search results shows a single organization with the following special-interest ERGs: disabled; Christian; African-American; Latin, Muslim; black, Asian; gay, lesbian, bisexual, and sexually questioning; women; and veterans.
The ERGs, like every other Navy program, will become a reportable item, and any good report includes metrics, meaningful or not. According to an October 2007 ERG article by Rebecca Hastings for the Society for Human Resource Management, "[if] you want to know if a group is having an impact, you have to measure something." Participation will become an evaluation bullet, with Sailors seeking even passive membership in search of the elusive perfect equal-opportunity grade. Promotion boards will look for and reward those so-called efforts.
The Navy needs to save billions of dollars. Two things waste the most money: programs that duplicate existing efforts, and programs that only provide the appearance of progress. Employee Resource Groups do both.
Creating a Navy "flag pool . . . that looks like America" by 2030, a goal stated by Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Manpower and Reserve Affairs Juan Garcia in the Navy News Service article, is a simple task and does not require ERGs. A focus on core missions will attract the best and brightest young Americans, regardless of affinity group. Then train them well, set high expectations, demand excellence, promote true leaders, and treat everyone equally.

By completing the Paperback with books, cd's or little glass or ceramic products, it gets a very own, almost custom made chart and set of colours.
Paperback is a modular system. 1 Complete set consists of 1 solid wall panel of 120x60 cm with 13 horizontal slides in it. This wall panel is mounted to the wall with 4 screws. Per panel 13 loose shelves of 120x15 cm and 4 mm thick are added, which can be pushed in the slides. The shelves consist of high pressure laminate, made of layers of kraft paper impregnated with phenolic resin and bonded by heat and pressure. The core and surface is all in one piece. Per 13 shelves, 3 pieces have an extra "tab", so these shelves can be used for bigger books, magazines or little objects.
During the Furniture Fair in Cologne in January 2011, a smaller version of 60 x 60 cm was introduced, the Paperback Small. Also the Small version has 13 shelves, of which 2 pieces have an extra tab for more depth.

Heartbreak House
By George Bernard Shaw
Directed by Bernadette Clemens*
Scenic & Lighting Design by Jason Coale
Costume Design by Inda Blatch-Geib
Sound Design by Cyrus O. Taylor
June 12-29, 2014
7:30 p.m.
2:30 p.m.
"The opportunity to gather some of the finest actors together and work with them on one of the world's finest plays is an opportunity that comes only a few times in a lifetime. I feel extraordinarily lucky to be a part of such an inspiring group effort." -- Tom Fulton
"The opportunity to work on such a mysterious and multi-dimensional play with a group of exceptional theatre professionals whom I respect so much is a gift that doesn't come along every day. For an actor, it just doesn't get any better." -- John Hedges
"A lovely play and a lovely cast... to quote Nick Gilbert, 'What's not to like?' Grab your bow tie and come!" -- Paula Duesing
From June 12 through 29, 2014, ten of Cleveland's finest actors (and all members of Actors' Equity Association) will gather to perform George Bernard Shaw's "Heartbreak House". The self-produced show is being done under the Actors' Equity Association Members' Project Code. The performances will take place at Pilgrim Church that is located at W. 14th Street in historic Tremont.
To those familiar with Cleveland theater, the names will be well known. The cast includes: Terence Cranendonk, Paula Duesing*, Mitchell Fields*, Thomas Q. Fulton, Jr.*, Anjanette Hall*, Dana Hart*, John Hedges*, Laura Perrotta*, Juliette Regnier* and George Roth*.
*Area professionals presenting under the auspices of the Actors' Equity Association Members' Project Code.
"Heartbreak House" will be directed by Bernadette Clemens, Co-Artistic Director of Mamaì Theatre Company, which has graciously hosted the production's performance space. Seating is limited and tickets are $20 for Adults, $18 for Seniors and $10 for Students. Tickets may be purchased at the door. Online and telephone reservation information will be available at a later date.
"Heartbreak House" is a 20th century work by George Bernard Shaw that features a gathering of surprise visitors at an unusual family home. In the play, Shaw reminisces about the pre-World War I days of innocence while exposing its gullibility and ignorance as well. In the hands of experienced artists it plays like a symphonic masterpiece that encourages self discovery and pluck in the face of trepidation that social upheavals bring.

Sometimes it helps to take the honey with the vinegar, but not even the announcement for an impending third-quarter Diablo III beta test could soothe the sting of losing around 600,000 World of Warcraft subs over the past couple of months. It is now around 11.4 million, down from over 12 million. Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime had to break the news during the company's quarterly conference call earlier today.
Like anything else, popularity ebbs and flows and the spikes and valleys on the sales charts can usually be linked to periods of new content or players losing interest in the old. The real problem is that the peaks aren't lasting as long as they used to. Losing 600k is one thing, but the fact that it has happened faster after Cataclysm than it has following any previous expansion is the real kick-in-the-pants.
Undoubtedly, everyone will have their own take on the news and opinions as to why precisely people are leaving the game in such sizable chunks, but what it comes down to at the end of the day — the one idea that seems to remain constant — is fatigue. I don't believe that people are tired of MMORPGs or even the story of Azeroth itself, but rather the way that Blizzard conducts itself and the ever (d?)evolving philosophy that shapes the game's continued development.
World of Warcraft would not have reached such insane numbers of subscriptions if it weren't for the casual players and as the Farmville-addled masses flooded the channels with their girth, Blizzard was forced to compensate. Always pushing towards equalization and homogenization; making things simpler and easier to understand; removing those elements from the formula that, while perplexing, also made WoW interesting. And we, the fans and media, are complicit.
Why? Well, we encouraged it. For better or worse, this is kind of what we wanted, but we didn't know any better. Changes to the game over the past few years have been a double-edged sword, and Cataclysm has proven to be the sharpest, shiniest double-edged sword yet. Allow me to elaborate with a broad example: we're tired of leveling through the same old vanilla content, so we get a vastly modified 1-60 game. Zones are more engaging visually, travel is streamlined, quests are given a spitshine to ensure that not all of them are simple "kill x/gather y" affairs (though many still are). And yet, for a better and more polished game, we also get a less "fun" experience. It's okay one time through, but it becomes so damn easy and there is no sense of exploration left.
How else have we done it? We've killed any difficulty with boss encounters and completing quests beyond pure execution. We've created mods and posted comprehensive strategies on very high-profile websites, which has in turn prompted Blizzard to incorporate elements of such helpful third-party resources into the game itself. And yet that does not absolve the company's reliance on casual players of blame, because an absolutely amazing number of players, even with all this help, still do not understand how to play.

Queen Latifah is standing by a window in her corner office at Sony Pictures Studios, a bustling 45-acre campus carved into the Culver City section of Los Angeles. A 94-foot metal rainbow dominates what she sees from her desk. The sculpture was commissioned by Sony, partly in homage to The Wizard of Oz, which was filmed here in 1938, when the studio belonged to MGM. The new corporation also hoped that the rainbow would generate feelings of optimism in the latter-day munchkins toiling beneath it.
"Can't hurt," says Latifah. She points to the steeple of a venerable church across the street. "Who knows? I just might end up in there on rough days. On my knees."
Despite her joking, there is no shortage of blue-sky optimism in this suite and on the two huge soundstages currently dedicated to launching The Queen Latifah Show, a new afternoon gabfest–road trip–variety hour that debuted September 16 on CBS. Carpenters are putting finishing touches on a lavish set while a full-time field-production unit is gearing up for a grueling schedule of nationwide location shoots with people doing inspiring things, from keeping inner-city kids in school to supporting veterans and their families.
All of it will be flavored with "the essence of La," says Latifah's friend Jada Pinkett Smith, now also her production partner. (The show is the joint venture of three companies: Sony; Latifah and Shakim Compere's company, Flavor Unit; and Overbrook Entertainment, principally owned by James Lassiter and Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.) The two women were teenagers in 1988 when skinny little Jada—a hip-hop kid and dancer—was at a Baltimore club and first beheld the eye-popping phenom who called herself Latifah (the "Queen" came a bit later). "She was barefoot, wrapped in this African garb with the headpiece," Pinkett Smith recalls. "I was so impressed with this black woman my age who was representing herself as an African queen. It was a bold statement in a very male-dominated industry."
More than two decades later, Latifah and Pinkett Smith agree there's nothing sweeter than merging the career successes that still astonish them both. On this TV project, Latifah is surrounded by a mature circle of those who know her best: Overbrook producer Miguel Melendez, who first proposed the weekday show; Compere, Latifah's closest confidant and her 25-year business partner; and the Smiths. "These are my friends, who are self-made and have become big stars not just in front of the camera but behind it," she says. "I love the idea of putting all of our brainpower together."
This inner circle calls her La and assesses all aspects of the new show to make sure they have the Latifah DNA.
It's so La.
That's just not La.
"Do I think that she has the skill set and the spine?" says Pinkett Smith. "Absolutely. We felt she's the only personality that could replace an Oprah. She gets to the heart of things, but she's not heavy—like a good combination of an Oprah and an Ellen."
New York Times television critic Alessandra Stanley isn't as optimistic. She thinks it will be a challenge to -enter—and pull ahead in—a very crowded arena. "Queen Latifah is both regal and immensely likable, and that may prove to be her greatest weakness as a daytime talk show: She has universal appeal in a field that is increasingly niche focused," says Stanley. "She isn't nasty enough to compete with a saucy diva of dish like Wendy Williams. And there are already too many celebrities with a common touch: Katie Couric, Steve Harvey and, soon enough, Meredith Vieira. If she's lucky, Queen Latifah could become a one-stop-shopping choice. But it's just as easy to fall through the cracks."
Latifah, however, points to her other advantages. At 43, she has aged into the late-afternoon demographic of female viewers. She expects she'll also bring some outliers along. Given her career as an '80s hip-hop star, a '90s sitcom player and an actress with more than 20 post-2000 film credits (not to mention her contracts with CoverGirl and Pantene), she says, "I see myself crossing three generations, easily."
She shows up on the Sony lot dressed to take care of business. Her hair is pulled into a tight bun, exposing a clutch of vivid blue butterflies tattooed behind her right ear. Two more flutter across her left wrist and thumb. She is in basic black—pants, cardigan, tee—and a pair of sturdy brown tie shoes. Over the next few hours, she will maintain focus by crunching on cinnamon Altoids and a cupful of ice. As she snaps the mint tin shut, Latifah admits to a chronic antsiness: "It's a bit of a challenge for me to just be still." For stress release, there is also a regulation-size basketball court beneath the rainbow, and she's itching to lace up and get out there. Pity the fool from accounts payable trying to guard a five-foot-ten-inch dynamo who honed fierce playground moves with her homeys in East Orange, New Jersey.
The Queen Latifah Show, however, is no casual pickup game. Its expensive yearlong development bespeaks deep confidence in a bankable star. Two hundred employees are counting on this Jersey girl so unprepared for her first brush with fame at 18 that she blew the royalty check for her hit song "Princess of the Posse" on gold caps for her teeth—but they were cheesy snap-ons rather than the kind a dentist affixes. The caps, and her earnings, were lost in a few days.
There were few other female rappers on the scene when Dana Elaine Owens, daughter of a New Jersey police officer and a high school art teacher, crowned herself Queen Latifah and hit the road during her year and a half at Borough of Manhattan Community College. And she didn't know the first thing about acting when her hip-hop touring buddy Will Smith gave her two guest spots on his sitcom, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The show's director, Ellen Falcon, taught Latifah the basics, then directed her in the starring role on the series Living Single. It ran for five years and is still in syndication. When Broadway veterans voiced doubts about a rapper singing a showpiece solo in the 2002 movie Chicago, Latifah dug in and nailed it, along with an Oscar nomination.
"I love a challenge," she says. "Trying things that scare the hell out of me and pushing past that fear, doing it anyway—that gives me a thrill."
It doesn't worry Latifah that this is her second shot at the talk show market. Her first afternoon program premiered in 1999. After two years, neither the ratings nor Latifah was solid. Some of the sad stories that landed on her show didn't help. "There was too much heaviness, too many serious topics," she says. "I just didn't want to do it anymore. I was not happy with my life. I was not fulfilled. The money wasn't enough, the slot on television was not enough."
This was a moody, uncertain period for her. Over this long, sunny afternoon, Latifah takes us through what has amounted to a career and lifestyle remix. Just as recording artists remake and renew earlier songs, she's been amplifying the good vibes in her life and deleting any sour notes: "I do feel that I am in a healthier place. I've had to grow in many ways, and I've faced fears, emotions and things that maybe I would not have dealt with before—or dealt with in ways that weren't healthy."
Anyone invited to Latifah's studio couch can be reassured that the host has deep reserves of empathy and a long "Honey, I've been there" list: sexual molestation by a babysitter at age five, her parents' difficult divorce when she was eight, the motorcycle-accident death of her beloved brother Lancelot "Winki" Owens when he was 24 and she 22, alcohol and drug use, a brief flirtation with drug dealing, survival of a carjacking at gunpoint, a marijuana-possession and weapons arrest, long-term struggles with her weight and the shock of going flat broke in 2000.
It's all good now—almost. "I just want to have a party in the afternoon," she says of her talk show goal, adding that she sees an advantage to having been "on the other side of the couch." Latifah has always been the gamest of guests, tearing around the studio in a bike race with Jimmy Fallon, comparing skin tones with tanorexic Pauly D of Jersey Shore on Leno, talking heavily bleeped trash with Wendy Williams in a parody of Mob Wives. She says she is ready for anything: "If Tom Cruise jumps on my couch, I'm gonna make sure I've got a backboard and a basketball in case he wants to jump higher and dunk," she says. "Have a blast! We'll just make sure we've got some good springs in that couch."
She's certain there will be some pratfalls. "This is a learning experience. I'm not going to pretend to be Oprah Winfrey. That woman built a 25-year show. I've got to get through week one, then month one. I expect to make mistakes and learn and grow."
She has imposed one basic commandment on herself and her team: "Keep it real." There are a few hard-won corollaries, all essential to the Latifah remix:
Rule one: Family and friends first.
Latifah did not agree to do the talk show until her mother, Rita Owens, agreed to move from New Jersey to live with her. "If my mom wasn't going to be in, then I wasn't doing it. My mom is extremely important to me. I trust her with my life, and she's had some physical challenges. I want her by my side in this."
Rita Owens said she was all for it; then a medical emergency—Latifah prefers to keep the nature of her mother's illness private—speeded up her move west. Flying her mother to California would have been stressful and problematic, so Latifah found a better way. She laughs as she describes the crew that rolled across the heartland on a tour bus: "I brought my mom, my grandmother, my Aunt Angel and my Uncle Jimmy, the dog—a boxer. They had a good old time, and they got a nice little view of America. It was really cool."
Now that her mother is in residence, "it's been wonderful, praying every night together," Latifah says. "My mom has really helped increase all of our faith just because of the challenges she's faced. I've had to get on these knees a lot and pray. And believe."
Rule two: Have faith but leave all your options wide open.
In interviews, a memoir and an advice book, Latifah has been frank about the life-changing effect of losing her brother. But she has rarely spoken of her climb out of the despair she experienced, as well as the survivor's guilt of having bought him the sleek Kawasaki Ninja ZX7 motorcycle he died driving.
"Jada was the first person who got me to go to therapy," she says. This was during the shooting of the 1996 chick bank-heist movie Set It Off. "I was really having problems dealing with the loss." She found she could tell Jada some of the scary things that had been happening since the accident. It went like this: "I didn't feel. It was like I had a circuit breaker. When I felt any emotion too much, whether it was joy, fear, love, it would turn right off. So that was scaring me. I thought I was about to live my life not living my life. I was doing things to numb whatever was left or looking for little rushes of some sort. Going through the motions, doing my job, showing up for work but not feeling."
Jada knew of a good therapist; Latifah went. She says the sessions were productive, but grief can still ambush her in tentative moments. Her faith has helped, and she has taken an ecumenical approach. The Dalai Lama's best seller, The Art of Happiness, taught her a lot about the purpose of suffering. The biblical texts given her by a close high school friend, basketball star Tammy Hammond, have long sustained her. "I went to Catholic school," says Latifah. "Some of my cousins are Muslims; most of my family is Baptist. From the time I was a little kid, I felt I could have a conversation with God and get answers back." During the period after her brother's death, she and the Almighty had some difficult discussions.
Picture a twenty-something Latifah alone and blue on yet another red-eye flight between L.A. and New Jersey, commuting for her Living Single job. She's cocooned in an airline blanket, crying again, asking her brother, "How could you leave me? And Mommy?" Then begging, "Give me a sign." Suddenly, out the window, there's a bright shooting star. She says it happened again on another flight. Back home, on her balcony, she challenged him: "Look, Winki, if you really are out there, then shoot across the sky right now."
Whooooosh! She makes an inter-galactic traffic noise and slaps her desk. "I could put my hand on a Bible and tell you that's exactly what happened. It was the craziest thing." She describes a fourth cosmic high-five: "I was in my room. It was a really foggy night, and I was going through it, talking to Winki: 'My show is successful and my record is going gold, and I'd give all this stuff back just to have you...' "
Suddenly: "This bird! A freakin' owl. Flies out of the fog and lands on my windowsill right in front of me." She laughs at how long it took her to get the message. "I'm like, I must be dumb as a sack of rocks. God is saying, 'Look, I don't know how many other ways I can tell you, kid. You're gonna be all right.' "
These days she devours books of the Heaven Is for Real genre. She does yoga—sometimes. Meditates—sometimes. Prays—often. And above all, picks up the phone.
Rule three: If you're in trouble, holler.
"I can work too much, keep things to myself, maybe not share," she says. "I've learned how to open my mouth and say, 'Listen, I need a break. Listen, I need help. Listen, I can't do this by myself.' Or 'Listen, I'm in trouble.' "
One dark night, she called her dad. There had been a period of estrangement between them after her parents divorced and Lancelot Owens started a new family. He and his daughter patched it up and worked together for years; as an ex–police officer, he handled Latifah's security. She needed more: "I was like, 'Look, I need you -really to just be my dad right now. I need to talk to you.' " Soon after, a small flower arrangement with a stuffed tiger arrived from him. The card read, "It's gonna be all right, you little tiger."
She now feels secure within her closest circle: "I have a strong support system. Great friends, great family." She has also learned what she must do to defend this new stability.
Rule four: Guard your perimeter.
This means putting the celeb jackals on notice: Do not attempt, with your Internet innuendo, your "gotcha!" paparazzi shots, to penetrate the Queen's no-fly zone. Do not even consider asking her with whom she sups, sleeps or nuzzles —except for the dog. If anything, she has become even more resolute about setting limits, citing her mother's advice: "My mom always said, 'Dana, you need to make your home a safe place for you just to be you. You need to keep your privacy. Be careful who you let in and out of your life, your spirit, your mind, your world.' "
The one man Rita Owens trusts implicitly with her daughter's well-being is Compere, a former student of hers who became Latifah's good friend. "Her mom believed in Latifah and me as a team," he says. "She always told us we have to protect each other against all the adversity that's going to come our way."
Compere moved his wife and children west to take care of business for Flavor Unit.
Rule five: There's no place like home.
My mom always made a peaceful home,"Latifah says. For 11 tough months when she was eight, the family endured public housing—the tumultuous Hyatt Court in Newark's East Ward—then moved to an apartment over a barbershop in East Orange. "Even though we didn't have a lot of money, it was clean. It smelled good. There was a piece of fabric thrown across a couch, a cool little artwork, something that made it feel loving and safe."
Latifah furnished her L.A. house years ago, but it could have a hollow echo when she was alone. It's so much better with a bit of joyous noise from back home. "I'm excited that my mom is with me, and Shakim and his family are nearby," she says. "It feels like the old flavor."
Our conversation has lasted more than two hours, and now 20 people are waiting for Latifah in a conference room. There is no question who's boss when she takes her place at the head of the table. A young woman named Sierra Lindsey hands Latifah a thick packet and begins a breathless exegesis: "Well, this worked well when I did it for President and Mrs. Obama..."
Suddenly, there are theatrical shrieks all around the table, followed by a standing ovation. Latifah is up and clapping hard. Lindsey formerly served as video producer for President Obama's 2012 campaign, and now a racket ensues every time she mentions her former employers. The affectionate takedown is part of Keeping It Real on team QL.
Now Latifah scans an introduction about a youth choir in Chicago.
"I wouldn't say this," she says.
No problem! Rewrite!
"Can you give me some hard facts? Do we have grounds to say this? Chicago is struggling—let's not make it worse."
There are a lot of women in the room, across a wide age span. La's management style is R-E-S-P-E-C-T. After nearly an hour, she looks tired but pleased as she pushes out her chair. "Good meeting," she says. "We cool for the day?" she asks her team. Then she checks the time and smiles.
"I've got to get home and get some dinner for my mom."

Cover Letters–Not Your Life Story

Revolution: Living as an Everyday Missionary
We've said a lot in this series about revolutionary ways we can be everyday missionaries. Steve Hayes told us to get off our donkeys and do something to meet the needs of others. Fernando Hernandez urged us to stop waiting for God to do a miracle and go where He leads us, becoming the miracle for others. I reminded us that the Gospel transforms us to the degree that it is transforming us. Jeff Harding's story challenged us to consider who we're called to love and serve, who we're called to be missionaries to. Last week, I challenged us to consider every person as someone destined for Resurrection. That's a lot. If you missed any of those messages, or you want to go back and listen again, you can check out the the North Phoenix podcast on iTunes or at our website, nphx.org/pocasts.
Our struggle
We all know people who seem "far from God." Not that God has abandoned them, but they've chose to run away from God's design, plans and intent for their life. We all know people who've struggled through some dark seasons. Who face incredible challenges daily. And those challenges take a toll on them and those around them.
In the Scriptures
Luke 5:17-26 NIV
One day Jesus was teaching, and Pharisees and teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every village of Galilee and from Judea and Jerusalem. And the power of the Lord was with Jesus to heal the sick. Some men came carrying a paralyzed man on a mat and tried to take him into the house to lay him before Jesus. When they could not find a way to do this because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and lowered him on his mat through the tiles into the middle of the crowd, right in front of Jesus. When Jesus saw their faith, he said, "Friend, your sins are forgiven." The Pharisees and the teachers of the law began thinking to themselves, "Who is this fellow who speaks blasphemy? Who can forgive sins but God alone?" Jesus knew what they were thinking and asked, "Why are you thinking these things in your hearts? Which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins." So he said to the paralyzed man, "I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home." Immediately he stood up in front of them, took what he had been lying on and went home praising God. Everyone was amazed and gave praise to God. They were filled with awe and said, "We have seen remarkable things today."
The Bottom Line
The secret to being an everyday missionary is as simple as ABCD. Love others ABOVE and BEYOND the CALL of DUTY.

Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) recently announced a deal valued at $19 billion to acquire WhatsApp -- a multi-platform messaging service. Nineteen billion dollars is a big sum to pay for any company, but especially for one that already has a potentially formidable competitor.
Last week, WhatsApp experienced the longest outage in its history. During the four hours the service was down, users scrambled to download a new messaging app. The event triggered nearly 5 million downloads of an app called Telegram in the short period WhatsApp was down. Further, the app shot up to the top free download in Apple's App Store charts in 46 countries.
With an app that basically looks like a clone of WhatsApp so capable of serving as an alternative to Facebook's new subsidiary, did Facebook overpay?

HTML:IFrame-HM [Trj] is a detection for an infected web pages that can harm visiting computers by executing commands unknown to users. This Trojan is injected as a malicious and invisible Iframe into clean web pages. Typically, it starts the attack by searching the infected computer for File Transfer Protocol (FTP) user name and passwords. It then uses the gathered credential to login to web servers and infect a web file. A code will be inserted to the header part of the web page that runs a script in order to infect visitor's computer.
Alias: Trojan-Downloader.HTML.IFrame.ii, TrojanClicker:HTML/Iframe.H, Mal/Iframe-F, HTML/Iframe.B!Camelot
Damage Level: Medium
Systems Affected: Windows 9x, 2000, XP, Windows Vista
HTML:IFrame-HM [Trj] is a detection for Trojan that attacks web files. It injects invisible Iframe into legitimate web page or files possibly through SQL injection incident.

Malicious Iframe may have the following payload:
- Redirects visitors to another malicious web sites
- Utilize infected web sites for rogue anti-virus campaign
- Hosts other Trojans with similar functionalities
- Execute commands and download files on visitor's computer
The Trojan evolves in computer-to-web site and web site-to-computer mechanism. Infected web site will drop malicious file to victim's system and steal FTP user name and password to gain web site access. Once it penetrates the web site using infected user's credential, it injects Iframe code to perform the malicious routine. Basically, it greatly affects those users who are maintaining a web site. Thus, it is important to refrain from saving user name and passwords when accessing web-hosting accounts.

College Hockey:Falcons Get First Win Of New Year
BGSU, Princeton Split Weekend Series
BOWLING GREEN, Ohio — Bowling Green's New Year's celebration came a few days late, but on Saturday night the Falcons snapped a six-game losing streak by beating visiting Princeton, 2-1, and recording their first win of 2002.
BGSU played well in all facets of the game by outshooting Princeton in every period (a total of 35-24), holding the Tigers to just 1-for-6 on the power play, and getting 23 saves by freshman goalie Jordan Sigalet.
"I don't know if we can play much better than we did tonight," said BGSU coach Buddy Powers. "That's the way Bowling Green hockey should be; pressuring the puck, banging guys, getting in on the forecheck. We got to play the game at their end of the rink for quite a period of time."
Freshman Colen Pappas got the Falcons on the board first for the second straight night just 24 seconds into the game. His third goal of the season came from an assist by classmate Ryan Minnabarriet from inside the right circle, which Pappas redirected stick-side past Princeton goalie Trevor Clay. Tyler Knight was also credited with an assist.
Bowling Green ended the first period by outshooting the Tigers 11-10, just the fifth time all season the Falcons have done that in the first 20 minutes of the game. It was also just the fifth time that BGSU outshot its opponent for an entire game this year. Princeton was outshot 12-7 in both the second and third periods.
Princeton answered later in the first period when Brad Parsons scored the only power-play goal all weekend for the visitors, this one coming at 12:58.
The Falcons regained the lead at 11:15 of the second period off of a power-play goal of their own coming from the stick of senior Scott Hewson, his third PPG this year. Greg Day and D'Arcy McConvey assisted on the give-and-go score.
"The power play scored an awesome goal tonight," said Powers. "That was a great play. That was hockey."
Less than a minute later the Falcons had to kill off a five-on-three that saw defensemen Brian Escobedo and Kevin Bieksa enter the penalty box at 12:01. BGSU was up to the task and held on to the lead.
"Everybody did a good job of staying in the lanes," Powers said of that kill. "And I thought that was a big lift for the team to kill that."
The Falcons and Sigalet held the rest of the way for the victory. Sigalet ended with 23 saves and just one PPG allowed in 60 minutes of action. Clay had 33 saves in 59:08 of playing time. Princeton finished with nine penalties compared to BGSU's eight.
"We talk about it an awful lot (playing at a high level), but the players still have to go out there and do it," said Powers. "And tonight they went out and did it. I thought the guys went out and played with high energy."
The Falcons improve to 6-14-4 overall while Princeton falls to 5-12-0.

A Good Budget Hotel
Having read some horrendous reviews I was worried about Lancaster Court but my stay was pleasant.
I was in room 31 which was ensuite. It was clean and warm. I think they are undergoing some upgrading and perhaps other rooms are not as good. I found the staff perfectly nice. Breakfast is crowded but if you get down early it's quieter. The choice for breakfast is limited but perfectly adequate and no different to what's on offer in other budget hotels. The location is great. Very close to Paddington and Lancaster Gate tube. At £57 a night I thought it good value and would go back.

Really good value for this price
We were on a 2 days London trip with my girlfriend and were looking for cheap accommodation for one night.
Lancaster's price is very good. You get what you pay for. But all the staff members were very kind, the room was really small but clean. To be honest it was way better than I expected for 40 pounds. After the booking I tried to change the date for the next day as I made a mistake. Laterooms staff said I can not do that only if I pay the full price again. Then I called Lancaster Court Hotel and they changed the date immediately for free of charge, so they were really helpful.

Clean and great customer service!
Exactly what it says on the tin.
A cheerful, clean, friendly hotel that is convenient for lots of London attractions. Room was exactly as expected: clean and basic (not a criticism!). The toilet was a bit small but perfectly serviceable. Breakfast was included in the price and, although nothing fancy, was served in a friendly atmosphere and filled us up.

Unpleasant stay
Stairs leading to fourth floor were steep and narrow (no lift) and thus a stuggle to take heavy luggage up and for the elderly.
Contrary to previously shown website photographs, there were no curtains in the room to cover the window that was opposite the shower-in-room cubicle. Expressed concerns to hotel check-in staff were indifferent. Wallpaper peeling from wall (window side) revealed hole in wall. No extractor fan in very small toilet with basin room. Apart from the above, good location.

Vince Foster: With Fed Taper, Rebalancing of Global Trade Set to Begin
Vince Foster
This time it is different: it's not a carry trade.
In last week's markets, most pundits and strategists were focused on the 2013 Q4 GDP report and corporate earnings, but the market itself continued to focus on the future implications of the Fed's withdrawal of quantitative easing and its impact on the value of the dollar. It's quickly becoming obvious that the only release that matters going forward is not economic statistics but rather the Fed's weekly
report on factors affecting reserve balances -- namely, the reserves held in custody at the Fed for foreign official accounts. As I noted last week in
Your Portfolio's Fate Is Llinked to the US Dollar
, since the Fed announced tapering on December 18, 2013, FX reserves have been falling -- and falling fast.
FX Reserves Held in Custody
I first began monitoring FX reserves held at the Fed back in 2008 when reading a hedge fund pitch book that outlined a strategy aimed at short peripheral European sovereign debt. The hedge fund was Corriente Advisors; it was run by Mark Hart, who was teaming with international economic research advisors
. The chart that caught my eye stated simply, "When FX reserves decline YoY, we usually have a financial crisis." The chart tracked year-over-year growth in FX reserves held at the Fed and indicated that the reserves dropped below zero in 1980, during the Latin American debt crisis, in 1990, during the savings and loan crisis, and in 1998, during the Asian/Russia/LTCM crises. Their thesis proved to be correct, and to my knowledge, they were the first investors positioned for what would become the European debt crisis.
On Friday,
Sid Verma
of Euromoney ran an
quoting a recent piece by GaveKal on current emerging market stress. It explained why this raises global systemic risk (emphasis mine):
The dollar is the world's reserve currency, which means the US is the only country in the world which has no foreign trade constraint. However, as we reviewed in our recent book (see
Too Different For Comfort
), this also means that the US current account deficit needs to grow if global trade is to expand. Indeed, if the US starts to export fewer dollars, then someone, somewhere will find he is unable to finance his trade.
The US current account deficit is the monetary base of world trade, and a reduction in the US current account deficit is thus equivalent to a massive monetary tightening for the rest of the world. It is for this last reason that we spend so much time monitoring the growth of central bank reserves held at the Fed; for as long as these are expanding, there are few reasons to fear a hiccup in the global trade architecture. However, as soon as central bank reserves start to shrink, then countries running large current account deficits and/or large budget deficits may find pushing more debt through the system challenging.
Excluding China, reserves at the Fed are contracting in real terms.
US Current Account Vs. Fed Balance Sheet
Between 2003 and 2007 the US consumption bubble was responsible for the current account deficit, which exported excess liquidity. When consumption collapsed in 2008 the US current account deficit began to narrow, but the Fed stepped in with QE; this acted as de facto US consumption and offset this current account contraction.
I wrote the following on April 22 in
Gold, Interest Rates and the Great USD Short Unwind
The US consumption bubble has been the engine behind global capital flows, and the machine works in a certain way. You can think of the global market as one giant balance sheet. Our deficit is their surplus. Our spending is their income. Our liability is their asset. That's all simple. What's more complex is how the capital flow reverses and what it means for currencies, commodity prices, interest rates, and risk premiums.
This capital flow reversal is what we are witnessing today, and I think, when you juxtapose the current reaction in the bond market with the reaction last spring, you can gain a better understanding of the dynamics at play. This is a key distinction to understanding how this plays out in market prices.
The short USD carry trade that pervaded under QE was present in many assets, from gold to mortgages to emerging market credit. All of these carry trades depended on an inflated dollar that produced negative real interest rates. When tapering was first floated last year, there was an immediate re-pricing of US dollars and real interest rates. The Fed's inflation target commitment was being called into question and so, too, was its negative real interest rate regime. This re-pricing of negative real rates forced carry trades to de-lever and unwind.
The carry trade unwind could be seen in the relationship between real rates, eurodollar futures, and EM credit. I explained the following back on June 22 in
Bernanke's Misfired Shot Heard 'Round the World
Positions that are long carry trades financed in USD predicated on the Fed's negative interest rate regime are in effect long eurodollars (short the floating rate) by virtue of their financing cost. When eurodollar prices decline, implied LIBOR rates rise, and vice versa. This carry trade relationship can be seen in the correlation between real rates, eurodollars, and a popular carry trade investment such as Brazilian bonds.
When the Fed announced at the December 18, 2013 FOMC meeting that tapering would commence in January, the QE carry had already been blown to pieces. It is highly unlikely these trades were reengaged only months after they were blown up, so I think to characterize the current market dislocations as "risk-off" carry-trade unwinding is a mistake. There is a different dynamic at play, and this can be seen in the much different reaction in US interest rates.
When the QE carry trade was being liquidated, mortgage-backed securities were one of the prime casualties, and the chain reaction of the negative convexity embedded in these securities could be seen across the interest rate complex. Treasuries weren't being sold due to taper fears; they were being sold because highly leveraged MBS positions were massively extending. As MBSs extend in duration in a rising rate environment, MBS holders sold Treasuries to hedge this duration extension.
Now that tapering has commenced, the market has already positioned and re-priced the MBSs that were being tapered. On December 10, 2013, before the Fed tapered, I made this case in
Bond Market Trading Is Already Discounting the Fed Taper
, suggesting that, despite the Fed pulling back, MBSs offered investors a very attractive risk/reward in a rising rate environment and the ability to reinvest amortizing principal into higher coupons, because the convexity blow-up risk had been removed. I suggested that as rates rose, mortgage supply would likely decline.
MBS 30-Year Vs. UST 10-Year
Despite the Fed reducing purchases, both Treasuries and MBSs have performed well. The excuse you are hearing for falling rates is that they were caused by a short-covering rally ignited by a flight-to-quality bid due to emerging market carry-trade liquidations. I am skeptical of this explanation. I think interest rates are responding to a lack of demand for credit at higher rates. Each time the 10-year hit 3% we saw a significant decline in mortgage origination, and I think this is indicative of a threshold the market has found where economic activity is impacted. In other words, interest rates are falling because of a drop in the supply of credit.
While the initial market reaction was the re-pricing of positions, the current market reaction is more about a re-pricing of economics. As I noted above, first it was a US consumption bubble that exported the dollars that fed global trade, then QE stepped in to provide liquidity -- in effect, subsidizing US consumption. The 2008 financial crisis was as much about a rebalancing of the US consumption-led current account imbalance. While the US consumer has adjusted by reducing consumption, QE prevented prices from adjusting. Now, with the Fed pulling liquidity that manufactured demand, foreign currencies must fall to a level that equals real US demand.
The Fed's QE program delayed the inevitable global trade rebalancing, but now that the Fed is pulling liquidity, the rebalancing is about to ensue. The drop in FX reserves and currencies re-pricing is a product of this rebalancing. This is not about a financial trade; it's about economic trade, and it's not clear how much price needs to adjust to fix this imbalance. Currencies and interest rates are both seeking equilibrium, and both will eventually find it.
When currency prices rebalance to reflect supply and demand, interest rates will follow suit.

sorry it's me again!
Let $V$ be a $\mathbb K$ vector space with finite basis $B$ and $M \subset V$ is a finite linear independent subset.
Show that a subset $A \subset B$ exists, so that $(B \backslash A) \cup M$ is a basis from $V$.
Can I cheat and use the subset $\{\}$ from $B$? This would get me $B \cup M$, which should be a basis from V. Or did I get everything wrong? It's weird, because apparently my colleagues used linear span to show this.
Thanks a lot again!

The Department of Homeland Security has done a u-turn by dropping plans to use license plate data collected by a private company that would "virtually allow them to track an average citizen's every move."
Police already use license plate readers, cameras that take rapid-fire photos of vehicles and their license plates as they go by, while many municipalities incorporate them as "red light" cameras to monitor traffic violations. Not only do the devices record the plate number, they also record the date, time and location of the vehicle at the time the picture was snapped, causing concern among privacy advocates throughout the country regarding unchecked monitoring by both the government and (unknown) other agencies.
According to Homeland Secretary Jeh (pronounced Jay) Johnson, the department's plan was to "enable Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to use license plate information to pursue criminal immigrants and other individuals sought by authorities." However, he ordered it canceled after it was discovered that the contract solicitation had been posted "without the awareness of ICE leadership."
In the meantime ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen released a statement saying that "While we continue to support a range of technologies to help meet our law enforcement mission, this solicitation will be reviewed to ensure the path forward appropriately meets our operational needs."
