WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers posted fewer job openings in March compared with February and slowed overall hiring, underscoring a weak month of job growth.
The Labor Department said Tuesday that job openings fell 1.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted 3.8 million jobs. Total hiring declined 4.3 percent to 4.3 million.
The unemployed faced heavy competition in March. There were 3.1 unemployed people, on average, for each job opening. That's above the ratio of 2 to 1 that is typical in a healthy economy.
On Friday the government reported that employers added just 138,000 net jobs in March, well below February's 332,000. Tuesday's report shows that the slowdown occurred because gross hiring fell and layoffs increased.
Job growth picked up in April. The economy added 165,000 net jobs and the unemployment rate fell to 7.5 percent from 7.6 percent in March.
April's gain, along with sharp upward revisions to the totals for February and March, suggests that the job market is improving steadily. Employers have now added an average of 208,000 jobs per month from November through April. That's much higher than the average of 138,000 in the previous six months.
Half of the decline in March's job postings was because governments at all levels advertised fewer positions. Most occurred at the federal level, which was affected by across-the-board spending cuts that began on March 1. The federal government reduced job openings by 30 percent in March compared with February.
Construction firms, manufacturers, and health care providers also advertised fewer positions.
Retailers, hotels and restaurants, and entertainment firms were the only major industries to post more job openings in March compared with the previous month.
Layoffs rose for the second straight month to 1.69 million, after falling in January to the lowest level since records began 12 years ago. Despite the increase, layoffs are still running below pre-recession levels.
Companies have posted more jobs but are slow to fill them. Many employers have become more selective and cautious about hiring since the recession. Some may not be offering enough pay to attract the candidates they need. Other companies, particularly in information technology and manufacturing, say they can't find enough qualified workers.
In the past two years, openings have increased nearly 24 percent. But overall hiring has occurred at less than half that rate.

In our desire to be obedient to what the Lord commands us to do, we need to have an understanding of what His commands entail. We need to know the scriptural and spiritual basis for baptism. Without that knowledge and understanding, water baptism would be a meaningless ritual.
Water baptism by immersion is a scriptural practice of the early church that we uphold today. Baptism was commanded by Christ (Matt 28:19); and Jesus was also our example (Luke 3:21,22). It is important that as Christians we understand what baptism is, what it represents, and what it does and does not do for us. Baptism is an act of obedience (Acts 2:38), and is meant for believers (Acts 2:41, 8:36-38, 10:44-48, 18:8). Baptism comes after an expressed belief in Christ as the Son of God (Acts 8:37). Therefore, we are baptized in response to what Christ has done for us. It is an external witness to those around us that there has been an internal, spiritual work done by the power of the Holy Spirit, through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The death of our old (sinful) nature and the birth of our new nature in Christ are symbolized by our immersion under water and our being raised up (Romans 6:3-4; Colossians 2:12). Behind this external baptism lies the true baptism – that of the shed blood of Jesus Christ; as well as the inward operation of the Holy Spirit, moving us to live, move, and act in faith.
Baptism does not save us. It does not add to what Christ has done. It does not complete or compete with His atoning work on the cross. Those who say that if you are not baptized you are not saved, have missed the point of the cross of Jesus Christ and its atoning power. As our Lord was hanging upon the cross between the two thieves, He said to the one, "Today, you will be with Me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43). That thief would die before he had an opportunity to be baptized; but it was his faith in Christ that saved him (Luke 23:40-43).
Jesus was baptized by immersion. As it says in Matthew 3:16 "When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water. ..." Throughout the New Testament, we see in the life of Christ, and the examples left to us by the apostles, that baptism is the full act of immersion. In the Greek, to "baptize" means to "cover wholly with a fluid, to dip or to fully immerse." Nowhere in the New Testament do we find "aspersion" which is the act of pouring water upon the head, or the sprinkling of the head or face.
Baptism is a joyous occasion for the believer. It is an opportunity to declare to the world that we have been redeemed and set free by the blood of the Lamb – our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are a new creation in Christ (ll Corinthians 5:17) – reckoned dead to sin, "but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:11). Rejoice!
It is our desire here at Calvary Chapel South Bay that your lives would be blessed. We are looking forward to having you join us as we fulfill God's Word in your lives. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the pastors to explain the meaning of being baptized in more detail. May our Lord continue to fill you with His love and knowledge as you walk with Him.
See you at the next baptism!

Chad Billingsley (9-3, 3.10) vs. Jason Marquis (9-5, 4.22).
COMMENTS: Welcome to the battle of the nines! Four pitchers lead the National League in wins with nine, and three of those suckers are trying to ink their tenth win tonight: Billingsley and Marquis at Dodger Stadium, and the Mets' Johan Santana in Milwaukee.
Marquis got rocked by the Angels in his last start, and Billingsley has lost the lead in the sixth inning of his part two starts. So everybody has something to prove — especially the Dodger bats, who got bailed out by their own starting pitcher last night, then left three men in scoring position in extra innings before finally winning it in the 13th.
The bullpen arms aren't fresh, with every reliever having pitched an inning last night. Let's hope Billingsley goes deep, because the Dodgers can't count on walking off every night.

Remember when I told you guys I was a madeleine addict? Well, I'm not alone here. A dear friend of mine could be called a madeleine monster. Every time I want to bake her something, madeleines are my first option.
She was upset with me and I needed to make amends... A box of fresh madeleines was mandatory. And the recipe I found on Lorraine's wonderful blog seemed perfect for the occasion.
I used orange blossom water instead of rosewater – the cookies tasted delicious but I think the orange blossom water flavor was a bit overpowering. My friend did not agree and told me the madeleines were fantastic.
If there's someone you want to please or apologize to, I highly recommend these. :)
Pistachio and orange blossom water madeleines
1 large egg
40g caster sugar
pinch of salt
25g unsalted pistachios
2 tablespoons of pure icing sugar
50g unsalted butter + 1 tablespoon for greasing pan
45g all purpose flour
1 tablespoon orange blossom water
icing sugar for dusting
Preheat the oven to 220ºC/428ºF; melt all the butter over a low heat, then leave to cool. Set aside a scant tablespoon of the cold, melted butter for greasing the pans, then flour them. Grind pistachios with icing sugar until fine.
Beat the egg, caster sugar and salt in a bowl for about 5 minutes, preferably with an electric mixer of some sort, until it's as thick as mayonnaise or about 3 times the original volume-it will be pale and a lemony white. Then sprinkle in the flour; you can hold a sieve above the egg and sugar mixture, put the flour in it and shake it through.
Fold in the flour with a wooden spoon, fold in the butter along with the orange blossom water and the pistachio/icing sugar mixture. Mix well, but not too vigorously.
Spoon batter into tins, about 1 teaspoonful in each should do for mini madeleines or 1 tablespoon in each for regular sized madeleines. Don't worry about covering the molded indentations; in the heat of the oven the mixture will spread before it rises. Bake for 7 minutes, or until springy to touch (though check after 5 minutes). Turn out and let cool on a rack, then arrange on a plate and dust with icing sugar.
This recipe made 12 regular madeleines for Lorraine; I doubled the recipe and got 15 regular and 12 large ones (the scallop pan I own).

STEPHEN HAWKINS, AP Sports Writer
IRVING, Texas (AP) — David Duval gets only limited chances on the PGA Tour these days, much different than 15 years ago when he was the No. 1 player in the world.
So Duval gutted it out Thursday at the Byron Nelson Championship despite the pain from a muscle issue in his right elbow, a day after his stepson had to drive him because he couldn't even use that arm.
"I'm just glad I chose to tee off today because I was seriously considering not," said Duval, who almost withdrew about a half-hour before his round.
Duval, now 42 years old and ranked 890th in the world, birdied his last three holes — Nos. 7-9 — after pitching in from 57 feet for another birdie at the fifth hole. He shot 4-under 66, a stroke behind leader Peter Hanson and tied with Marc Leishman and Tim Wilkinson.
After a bogey on his 12th hole, the 528-yard third hole, Duval was even par for his round. He had the long pitch on No. 5, and a similar shot from 43 feet at the par-5 seventh hole started his closing birdie stretch. He sank putts of 3½ and 17 feet to finish.
"I'm tickled pink it feels as good as it does right now," Duval said. "I'm not getting to play a whole lot right now and it would have been a hard thing to swallow not to be able to tee off."
Duval's arm started bothering him Tuesday when he hit 20 or 30 balls after getting to North Texas, and he managed to play only six holes after having a trainer work on his arm. He had an injection that night and hit only 20 or 30 more balls Wednesday before he couldn't even move his arm. He got more treatment before teeing off Thursday.
As a 13-time winner on the PGA Tour, his last victory in the 2001 British Open, Duval has past champion status. But past champions are 32nd in the line of 36 categories to fill open spots in tournament fields.
"A little disadvantage when you don't get to play consistently," he said. "But I have the utmost confidence in what I'm trying to do right now, and I feel like I can succeed even with that sporadic schedule."
Martin Kaymer, The Players Championship winner Sunday, was among eight players at 67.
When Duval finished his round, he had a share of the lead — until Hanson sank a 6-foot putt at No. 18 for his only back-nine birdie.
Duval hasn't led the end of any round on the PGA Tour since the fourth of five rounds at Las Vegas in 2002. This is his only his eighth tournament this season, matching last year's total.
Hanson made the turn at 5 under after shooting 30 on the front side. The Swede couldn't keep up the pace on the back nine at TPC Four Seasons that he hadn't played before Thursday because of travel issues and a sore back.
"I still have quite a bit of pain, but I really wanted to play this week," Hanson said. "Heading over to Europe the next two weeks. We have a big tournament, Wentworth, and then my national open back in Sweden the week after that. This is a bit of a test."
Leishman was the only of the top four who played in the morning, and had a tap-in birdie putt at the par-3 second hole. His only bogey, at the 431-yard fourth hole after missing the green, was sandwiched by a pair of birdies.
"It was fairly stress-free for the most part," the Australian said after hitting 13 of 14 fairways and 16 greens in regulation.
It was Leishman's best-scoring round since opening with a 66 at Torrey Pines in January when he was the runner-up with his second consecutive top-five finish. In eight tournaments since, he missed three cuts and his only finish in the top 30 was his tie for 23th at The Players Championship.
Jordan Spieth had to birdie two of his last three holes for an even-par 70 at the course where he made the cut as an amateur at ages 16 and 17.
Spieth, now 20 and the eighth-ranked player in the world, had a double-bogey 6 after driving into the water at No. 3, his 12th hole. With a large gallery following him only four days after he was in the final group with Kaymer at The Players, the Masters runner-up from Dallas hit only four of 14 fairways and 10 of 18 greens in regulation.
Spieth played with defending Nelson champ Sang-Moon Bae, the South Korean who had an opening 73.

New mntner Object Format
1) Abstract
Consequent to the community's request in December 2012, the AFRINIC whois database will no longer display hashes of MD5 and CRYPT encrypted passwords in all mntner (whois database) objects.
Currently, majority of objects in the AFRINIC whois database are protected by and authenticate through a mechanism that uses clear text passwords encrypted with the md5 algorithm for authentication. There are two major concerns with this method:
- The md5-hashed password has traditionally been visible in all mntner objects. This makes it vulnerable to crackers, given that computers these days are armed with more than enough processing power to unhash these passwords in a relatively short time.
- When performing a whois database update, plain text passwords are attached into the objects to be updated and sent by email to the whois database. This introduces a possibility for the password to be sniffed in case there is no form of encryption between the sender, recipient and their relaying Mail Transfer Agents.
AFRINIC has enabled a filter in the whois database such that whois queries do not display those hashes again. This mitigates the potential for anyone to run a simple script or program that will crack these passwords, as they are no longer visible.
2) Updating objects in the whois database
There are basically two scenarios to consider:
- Modifying an existing mntner whois database object, which already has the hash filters applied.
- Authenticating against a maintainer object to update its protected object, and, creating, modifying or deleting child objects protected by the parent object's mnt-lower or (mnt-domains).
2.1) Modifying a mntner object
The process to create a new mntner object remains completely unchanged. However, once created, modifying and deleting an existing mntner requires the object owner to have access to the md5 and/or CRYPT hash that was used to create the mntner in the first place if the modifications involve other attributes.
It is therefore important that the hash be kept by the object owner for future retrieval when updating existing mntner objects. Below are examples of mntner objects, showing the previously unfiltered hash in the top object, and the new format at the bottom object, showing the hashes filtered.
Below are examples of mntner objects, showing the previously unfiltered hash in the top object, and the new format at the bottom object, showing the hashes filtered.
To modify an existing mntner:
a) Query the AFRINIC whois database for your object, add the hash to the result and send it to the server for updating, as follows:
- Go to https://afrinic.net/en/services/whois-query
- Type your object into the search form with the "-B" option prepended, such that attributes containing e-mail addresses are not filtered (a default measure to fight e-mail harvesting).
- The same web-based search can be used by the command line lovers by typing the following (using a Unix or Linux whois client):
whois –h whois.afrinic.net –r –B ISP1-MNT
- Copy the object into the body of a new-email.
b) If the e-mail returned by the server indicates that the update failed, there is a possibility that the hash was wrong (in which case a syntax error will appear in the bounce) or the clear text password was not correct (this will be shown as an authentication error)
c) In case you cannot retrieve your md5 hash (but know your plain text password that was used to generate the hash), it is possible to simply re-generate a new hash of the same password.
Please browse to the "Tools" section of our website, select the CRYPT/MD5 Password Tool, enter your plain text password and click "Generate".
The generated hash can be copied and pasted into your mntner object and submitted for update as usual.
- Your e-mail should contain an md5 hash of your preferred (new) password generated per step (c) above.
- The password change request must come from an authorized contact. If there has been change of contacts, we shall request an official signed letter from a senior executive of your organization detailing the new contacts.
3) Using PGP authentication (instead of md5 and CRYPT-PW)
In addition to MD5, the AFRINIC whois database supports PGP for authenticating whois database updates. In contrast to MD5, PGP provides stronger encryption techniques and guarantees that the signed update message was not tampered with. It is works by using a pair of keys generated by the user. The public key is uploaded to the whois database inside a key-cert object, and the user's email updates are signed using the private key on the user's device.
Since most whois database updates are submitted by e-mail, the only way to guarantee security is by using PGP, which AFRINIC strongly recommends to our members and the community.
This is because with the MD5 method, updates submitted by email are authenticated by the user inserting a clear text password in the e-mail body. Despite using technologies like SSL and TLS, AFRINIC has no control over all the stages that an e-mail goes through before final delivery to our whois server.
Combining different auth mechanisms
The whois database supports use of multiple authorization mechanisms in one mntner object. If an object is protected with a mntner that contains multiple md5 passwords and PGP keys, any one of the correct passwords or PGP-signed emails will authenticate. The mntner object captured below contains two "auth" attributes for both md5 and PGP authentication mechanisms. Either of the attributes can be used to authorize updates.
mntner: TOTO-MNT
descr: Maintainer Toto telecom
admin-c: ABC1-AFRINIC
tech-c: DEF1-AFRINIC
auth: MD5-PW $1$09nxAH88$ZaDWuXGdly2boQi69atbN.
auth: PGPKEY-476A541E
mnt-by: TOTO-MNT
source: AFRINIC
4) FAQ: Filtered MD5 Hashes
- Why did AFRINIC decide to hide the MD5 hash?
Because some one can crack it using any computer or even smartphone. Hiding it provides a deterrent from crackers trying all sorts of things on your hash.
- Can I update a mntner object without inserting the md5 hash?
No. You must replace the "FILTERED" string in the auth attribute with the actual encrypted hash otherwise the update will fail.
- I have forgotten my md5 hash.
If you remember the plain text password instead, please use our online md5 encrypted password generator. A different hash of the same password will be generated which can be used to update (but not delete) the object
- I know my plain text password. How can I get my md5 hash?
By using our online encrypted password generator. Please note the hash will always be different, as it's generated based on a timestamp.
- MD5 seems insecure. Are there other options?
You can use PGP, which involves using a pair of keys. More information about using PGP with the AFRINIC whois database can be found here.
- I forgot my password. Can you reset it?
- Can I still create customer assignments without knowing the hash?
Yes. All you need is to submit those assignments along with a clear text password to the whois database. You can even use MYAFRINIC for that.
- Does rDNS still work as before?
Yes. All other objects as well as whois database update procedures remain unchanged. Only mntner objects are affected, in that you need to have that hash handy whenever you must edit your mntner (which is not very common).
- How do I use PGP with the AFRINIC whois database?
Having generated your PGP key-pairs, export your public key into the whois database using a key-cert object. Then sign all your database updates using your private key. Please look here for more information.
- Can I use both PGP and MD5 encryption concurrently?
Yes. Either of the authenticated mechanisms will work if specified in a given mntner object.
- How can I get additional help?

Privacy is dead, right? Facebook knows everything about you, and the world is still turning. Whether you don't mind companies or the government knowing all about your private life or still feel completely uneasy at the idea, we often gloss over exactly why your personal data is worth protecting. We teamed up with the Electronic Frontier Foundation to get to the heart of the issue, and dispel some common myths around the ways your data is used.
We sat down with Rainey Reitman, Activism Director at the EFF, to discuss why digital privacy is important, why you should keep a skeptical eye to services that make promises of "free" services in exchange for tidbits of personal information, and why you should care about the privacy of others even if you're not concerned about your own data and how it may be used. All in all, the message is clear: It's tempting to throw up your hands and say "privacy is dead," but nothing could be further from the truth.
Cause for Concern: Why No One's Telling You Your Data Is Valuable
When we discussed how companies track you on the web and what you can do to stop them, I drew on my personal experience working for a company that trades in information—both personal and aggregate—to explain why your data is so valuable to the businesses that want it. Making the case that information about you, your demographics, your behaviors and habits—all information you may think has little to no value—is valuable to the people looking for it is one important step in explaining why this is all important. After all, if someone a company is able to build their business model on getting your information, it must be worth something, right? Photo by Andy Mabbett.
That's part of the problem—individuals are all too often told that the information collected about them is "non-identifiable," which may very well be true to the party requesting it, but not so for anyone else with access to it later. "Consumers are often unaware of the transaction that takes place when they sign their information away," Rainey explained, noting that this lack of transparency, coupled with the fact that companies who trade in and use that information resist efforts for consumers to opt-out of behavioral marketing are causes for concern. The fact is, your data is worth real, tangible money to the companies that offer you free services (in Facebook's case, you're worth just shy of $5 per year) and the companies they do business with, even if they're not asking you to open your wallet.
Does Anyone Actually Care Anymore? Isn't Privacy Dead?
Hardly. Rainey explained "People do care about privacy!" She directed me to a 2009 study by KnowPrivacy, a research group headed by Jason Schultz and Chris Hoofnagle of the Samuelson Law, Technology & Public Policy Clinic at the University of California Berkeley, that shows that people are indeed concerned about what data is requested of them, how much of the requested information is required for the service they want to use, and how their data is eventually used. The survey notes that even young people are concerned about their privacy, the ones often written off as part of a generation that's willing to share everything online. Photo remixed from jayfish (Shutterstock).
"These same people are comfortable telling their friends what they ate for breakfast," Rainey remarked, "but they're not comfortable telling their medical insurer, or having their medical insurer get access to their Facebook account because they clicked a Like button, for example." These results were reiterated in a 2010 USA Today/Gallup poll that uncovered similar results—people are still quite concerned with their privacy. The baseline for privacy has simply changed.
Rainey says that even those who dismiss privacy concerns become concerned when confronted with the depth of information they've revealed, and when shown how that information is used once they give it up. In the end, the argument isn't a zero-sum game: people don't want their services free and their privacy intact, Rainey reiterated. "They just want control over what information they give up, what they agree to, and what information is made public versus kept private in the databases and annals of the companies and organizations that get to see it."
Who's More Dangerous? The Government or Businesses?
The short answer is that there's no real difference between the two. Here's why:
The Government: When you sign up for a new web service, you might assume that your data goes only as far as the company you've signed an agreement with. Unfortunately, that's not the case. Rainey points out that filing a simple FOIA request revealed that government agencies like the DEA and even the IRS regularly collect, store, and request information from companies like Facebook and Twitter.
So the government uses the information they collect on social media to hunt and catch criminals—that's not so bad, right? It's not that simple. "Those organizations all map social graphs to see how people of interest relate to each other, and subsequently investigate their friends, followers, and others in their networks," Rainey explained. To boot, the government often doesn't bother to get a court order or justify the reason they want this information to the network in question—they make a few phone calls or send over a letter asking for someone's information, and the service responds with the requested data.
Businesses: At least the government has to provide some measure of transparency. Private entities are largely exempt from the Privacy Act of 1974, and once they collect your information, there's no way to tell what happens to it after that. Some companies reserve the right to sell the information, and while most explicitly promise not to in their privacy policies, they give themselves the out of being able to "share" information with their "strategic partners," which is the same thing, just without a cash transaction taking place. Photo by Ludovic Hirlimann.
But these companies don't keep personally identifiable information (PII), right? You're just an aggregate number to them, so what's the worry? Well—that information sharing is generally done between companies in order to obtain that information and refine their marketing efforts. While it may mean nothing more than a few coupons at your doorstep, the fact of the matter is the trade in aggregate information is a hot one, and companies specialize in taking aggregate information and making it very personal. Even if that's not a problem for you, the real issue is that once that information is assembled, and once it is personal, you have no rights or access to it once you've signed it away. "Most people don't ask themselves, 'Do I still have the rights to this data once I click OK?'" Rainey explained. "And then, once it's gone, you don't even have the right to change it, update it, or even request your information be removed later if circumstances change."
She then pointed me to the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse's Chronology of Data Breaches, a massive collection of data publicly reported data breaches at companies that store public and private information going back to 2005—everything from missing laptops to massive hacks. "The fact is, that once your data is collected, even if it's aggregate, and stored in one of these databases, it's being actively targeted by people who want it, and it's vulnerable to breaches. One study showed that a year after a database like one of these is broken into, your chance of being a victim of identity theft is four times greater." That's long after the courtesy credit and identity theft monitoring services most companies offer if their databases are hacked, and as we've seen from recent credit card breaches, once your information is lost it may be a big deal to you, but on an individual level, it's not horribly valuable to the company tasked with protecting it.
So while the government and businesses are both scrambling to collect as much information as they can, you should have serious reservations about whether the data is being kept securely, what rights you have after the fact to remove personally identifiable information should be it collected, and how that information is being used by other groups you didn't sign an agreement with once you give it up to the one you did. The issue is so pervasive that the White House recently called for a Consumer Privacy Bill of Rights to ensure both the government and private agencies only collect the information required to provide specific services, and no more—a measure that many called a good first step, but just that: a first step.
But Targeted Ads are Better than Random Ones, Right? And If We All Keep Our Data Private, Nothing Will Be Free Anymore and the Internet Will Cease to Exist!
When I brought up this concern to Rainey, she laughed: "It's always entertaining to hear the argument swing from 'but people like these ads' to 'and without them the Internet will be gone forever!' The problem with the first part is that if it were true that people really did prefer and actually enjoy behavioral marketing, then why not give consumers the option to opt-in to them instead of forcing them to opt-out of every kind of marketing entirely? If they like it, giving them the choice to turn it off won't stop anyone!" She explained that privacy advocates aren't fighting for an ad-free Internet, they just want to give consumers who care about their privacy a way to opt-out of behavioral and targeted marketing efforts, something industry groups are fighting them on tooth and nail. Photo by Jim Linwood.
As for the "death of the free internet," Rainey noted that while the basis of revenue-generation on the internet has always been advertising, it's only been recent years that we've seen a massive shift towards behavioral and targeted marketing that sticks with individuals not just on a single page, or in one company's services, but across all of their activities online. She's right—Jeff Jarvis wrote at BuzzMachine that even while he thinks much of the concern over privacy and do not track is a tempest in a teapot, companies at least need to be transparant about how they do what they've always been doing, and give consumers a choice. He noted that fast-forwarding through ads on television has been around for a long time, but that hasn't led to the death of the TV advertising industry. "Ads don't have to track you to make money," Rainey said, "You [advertisers] just need to give consumers the choice—the option to see ads without tracking! Then you could have both options and make everyone happy!" It's that lack of choice—she explained—that's the real problem.
So What Do I Do About It? What Does It Matter?
Even if your privacy isn't important to you, there are others for whom privacy is paramount. "Even if you're comfortable giving up your personal information," Rainey said, "there are plenty of people who aren't, and they shouldn't have to fight to keep their addresses out of publicly accessible databases or off of a website where it's easily obtained. Victims of domestic violence, members of the LGBT community, political activists, human rights activists, police officers, even public figures all need privacy to make sure their families and homes are safe." Even if you're not convinced that your data is worth protecting, there are others who need that protection. To that point, it's worth remembering that on many social networks, we give up information about those we're connected to when we let another app or service in—even if we've consciously decided we're okay trading the information requested about ourselves.

So what do you do now? We've shown you how to protect yourself and even how to watch companies track you in real time. In the end, the important thing to remember before you click through another privacy policy is to be actively aware of the transaction you're making. Just because something claims it's free doesn't mean it is, and it's up to you to decide whether the service is worth the price of admission.

- Global Deliveries in December Climb 20 per cent
- Higher U.S. Costs Driven by Surge in Shipments and Inclement Weather
- E-commerce Pushes Quarterly Volume up 6.0 per cent Worldwide
- International Export Volume Up 9.5 per cent per Day on Strong Europe Growth
- 2013: $6.1 Billion in Shareowner Distributions; $5.3 Billion in Free Cash Flow
- $500 Million of Increased Investments in Capacity Expansion
- Announces Full-Year 2014 EPS Guidance of $5.05 to $5.30
MISSISSAUGA, ON, Jan. 30, 2014 /CNW/ - UPS (NYSE:UPS) today released details regarding fourth quarter 2013 results. Diluted earnings per share totaled $1.25, a $0.07 decline from 2012 fourth quarter adjusted results. Average daily package volume increased 6.0 per cent, as total deliveries in December surged 20 per cent. Significantly higher than predicted volume and inclement weather contributed to excess operating costs in the U.S., negatively affecting results.
During the fourth quarter 2012, UPS reported a diluted earnings per share loss of $1.83, due to an after-tax, non-cash charge of $3.0 billion to account for a mark-to-market pension adjustment.
"As the retail market shifts to a direct-to-consumer model, more and more companies are leveraging UPS solutions," said Scott Davis, UPS chairman and CEO. "As a result, we experienced an unprecedented increase in volume, exceeding even our most optimistic plans."
"The increased volume put a strain on our network, causing delays. In response, UPS deployed additional people and equipment, placing a greater emphasis on service than cost," Davis explained. "UPS will make the necessary investments and operational improvements to ensure we meet the needs of the marketplace."
The company expects full-year diluted earnings per share to be within a range of $5.05 to $5.30, an increase of 11 per cent-to-16 per cent over 2013 adjusted results.
UPS delivered 20 million packages per day during the fourth quarter. Total shipments in 2013 increased to 4.3 billion, a 3.9 per cent improvement over 2012.
During the holiday period, global daily deliveries exceeded expectations by surpassing 29 million packages on five days, with peak volume exceeding 31 million on December 23. Also during this period, UPS experienced 10 days with delivery volume that exceeded the company's previous high.
Cash Flow
For the year ended Dec. 31, UPS generated $5.3 billion in free cash flow, producing a net income-to-cash conversion ratio of more than 120 per cent. The company paid dividends of $2.3 billion, an increase of nearly 9 per cent per share over the prior year, and repurchased more than 43 million shares for approximately $3.8 billion.
U.S. Domestic Package
U.S. Domestic fourth quarter revenue improved 4.2 per cent to $9.3 billion. Daily package volume increased 5.6 per cent with Deferred and Ground leading the way, up 8.0 per cent and 5.8 per cent respectively.
Total revenue per package declined 1.3 per cent, as lower fuel surcharges, changes in product and customer mix, as well as higher service refunds, contributed to the drop. Shippers continue to utilize the UPS portfolio, choosing lower cost over faster delivery, as evidenced by more than 30 per cent growth in UPS SurePost.
Operating profit totaled $1.2 billion as additional costs associated with a greater-than expected surge in volume and weather led to a $178 million decline from the prior year adjusted results. Increased compensation and benefit costs reflected the deployment of additional resources in an attempt to meet service commitments.
During the quarter, UPS exceeded seasonal hiring targets by more than 30,000, deploying a total of 85,000 temporary employees. In addition, the company experienced significantly higher purchased transportation expenses.
On a reported basis, the operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $1.8 billion as a result of the mark-to-market pension charge.
International Package
International revenue increased 5.3 per cent to $3.4 billion on 8.8 per cent growth in daily package volume. UPS Export products rose 9.5 per cent per day, driven primarily by 13 per cent growth in Europe and significant growth in the Asia-to Europe trade lane. Non-U.S. domestic products were up 8.2 per cent with strong growth in Poland, Italy, and Canada. During December, the segment achieved a peak volume day above four million pieces and exceeded last year's high on 11days.
Export yield declined 3.4 per cent on a currency neutral basis, as a result of lower fuel surcharges and customer preference for non-premium products. Double-digit gains in Pan-European shipments also lowered revenue per piece.
Operating profit improved 7.6 per cent to $537 million. Operating margin expanded 30 basis points to 15.9 per cent, compared to last year's adjusted results.
On a reported basis, the operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 totaled $442 million as a result of the mark-to-market pension charge.
Supply Chain & Freight
Revenue in the segment fell 5.8 per cent to $2.3 billion, due to declines in the Freight Forwarding unit. Operating profit was flat compared to 2012 adjusted results, as improvements in Distribution offset declines in Forwarding and UPS Freight.
On a reported basis, the operating loss for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $541 million as a result of the mark-to-market pension charge.
The Forwarding unit experienced a revenue decline resulting from decreased tonnage and revenue per kilo, in International Air Freight. The Ocean Freight business reported growth in shipments and operating margin expansion.
Distribution revenue increased over the prior year period. The retail and healthcare sectors contributed to the improved results. Global footprint expanded during the year to 284 facilities, with more than 22 million square feet of space.
UPS Freight LTL revenue increased 2.3 per cent over the prior year driven by LTL Tonnage and pricing improvements.
The company announced plans to repurchase $2.7 billion of UPS shares during 2014. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be approximately $2.5 billion. This includes accelerated deployments in operational technologies and over $500 million of increased investments in capacity expansion and hub modernization.
"While the year ended on a challenging note, we are confident in our ability to adapt and we expect much better results in 2014," said Kurt Kuehn, UPS chief financial officer. "UPS expects balanced profitability growth across all segments in a slightly better economic environment, resulting in full-year guidance of diluted earnings per share of $5.05 to $5.30, an 11 per cent-to-16 per cent increase over our 2013 adjusted results."

UPS Chairman and CEO Scott Davis and CFO Kurt Kuehn will lead a discussion on fourth quarter results with investors and analysts during a conference call at 8:30 a.m. ET today. That call is open to listeners through a live Webcast. To access the call, go to www.investors.ups.com and click on "Earnings Webcast."
UPS routinely posts investor announcements on its web site --www.investors.ups.com -- and encourages those interested in the company to check there frequently.
We supplement the reporting of our financial information determined under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") with certain non-GAAP financial measures, including, as applicable, "as adjusted" operating profit, operating margin, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share. The equivalent measures determined in accordance with GAAP are also referred to as "reported" or "unadjusted." We believe that these adjusted measures provide meaningful information to assist investors and analysts in understanding our financial results and assessing our prospects for future performance. We believe these adjusted financial measures are important indicators of our recurring operations because they exclude items that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and provide a better baseline for analyzing trends in our underlying businesses. Furthermore, we use these adjusted financial measures to determine awards for our management personnel under our incentive compensation plans.
We supplemented the presentation of our fourth quarter and year-to-date 2013 and 2012 operating profit, operating margin, pre-tax income, net income and earnings per share with similar measures that excluded the impact of certain transactions. In the first quarter of 2013, we recorded transactions related to our attempted acquisition of TNT Express N.V. These items included the impact of (1) a pre-tax charge for the TNT termination fee and transaction-related costs of $284 million ($177 million after-tax), and (2) a pre-tax currency gain realized upon the liquidation of a foreign subsidiary of $245 million ($213 million after-tax). During 2012, these items included the impact of mark-to-market adjustments for pension expense recognized outside of a 10 per cent corridor of $4.831 billion ($3.023 billion after-tax) and the establishment of a withdrawal liability related to the New England Teamsters and Trucking Industry Pension Fund of $896 million ($559 million after-tax). We believe these adjusted measures better enable shareowners to focus on period-over-period operating performance.
Because non-GAAP financial measures are not standardized, it may not be possible to compare these financial measures with other companies' non-GAAP financial measures having the same or similar names. These adjusted financial measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP operating profit, operating margin, net income and earnings per share, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures reflect an additional way of viewing aspects of our operations that, when viewed with our GAAP results and the preceding reconciliations to corresponding GAAP financial measures, provide a more complete understanding of our business. We strongly encourage investors to review our financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

The only thing that isn't rising in the US is benefits for it's workforce. If Countries ahead of us in competitiveness can take better care of their workforce why can't the US-Corporate greed maybe? I'm a supporter of a free market economy but also an advocate of taking care of the ones who make it possible for you.
"Switzerland has topped the rankings of 148 economies in the Global Competitiveness Report for the fifth consecutive year. The Forum said Switzerland's standing rests notably on its innovation,labor market efficiency, sophistication of its business sector and top-notch scientific research institutions."
Do you have an opinion?
The United States' competitiveness among global economies is rising again after four years of decline, though northern European countries continue to dominate the rankings published annually by the World Economic Forum.
In its latest survey, released Wednesday, the Forum ranked the U.S.—the world's largest economy—in fifth place for overall competitiveness, up from seventh last year. The U.S. turnaround reflects "a perceived improvement in the country's financial market as well as greater confidence in its public institutions," the report concluded.
The Forum, which hosts the annual gathering of global business and political leaders in the Swiss ski resort of Davos every winter, ranks a country's competitiveness according to factors such as the quality of its infrastructure and its ability to foster innovation.
Six European countries dominated the top 10: Switzerland, Finland, Germany, Sweden, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom. The remaining three slots were Asian: Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan.
The most competitive economies, the Forum said, were Switzerland, No. 1, followed by Singapore, then Finland, all three unchanged in their rank from last year. Germany moved up to fourth place, from sixth last year, reflecting high-quality infrastructure, an efficient goods market and a high capacity for innovation.
Hong Kong moved up to seventh and Japan advanced to ninth. But Sweden dropped to sixth, while the Netherlands sank to eighth, and the U.K. moved down to 10th, reflecting what the Forum called the distractions of public debt problems and concerns about the future of the euro currency.
Klaus Schwab, the Forum's founder and executive chairman, said innovation was increasingly the key ingredient in an economy's ability to prosper.
"I predict that the traditional distinction between countries being 'developed' or 'less developed' will gradually disappear," he said, "and we will instead refer to them much more in terms of being 'innovation rich' versus 'innovation poor' countries."
Switzerland has topped the rankings of 148 economies in the Global Competitiveness Report for the fifth consecutive year. The Forum said Switzerland's standing rests notably on its innovation, labor market efficiency, sophistication of its business sector and top-notch scientific research institutions.
The survey found that countries in southern Europe, such as Spain, Italy, Portugal and Greece, continue to suffer numerous economic problems, including weakness in their financial markets and poor access to financing.

You need to repeat the above process for all assignments that will be registered.
Each of the addresses ranges falling in any of the categories below constitute a separate assignment:
- An end-site or customer with 4 or more IP addresses.
- A subnet for your own network infrastructure
- Any range from which IPs are dynamically assigned
The minimum sub-allocation size is /24, any range less than that should be registered as an assignment (status is ASSIGNED PA)
An assignment with status Assigned PA is an inetnum object created by LIR to register the IP addresses that have given to specific customer or service. These IP addresses are only used by the customer or service and can't be further distributed to another customers. The minimum IP addresses per assignment PA is /30.
Both assignments and sub-allocations are objects created by LIR to indicate that specific IP range has been assigned to a customer. If the customer intends to further distribute the IP addresses to his own client then, the IP range should be registered as sub-allocation. If the customer will solely use the IP addresses for his own infrastructure then, the IP range should be registered as assignment.
AFRINIC members are encouraged to maintain the assignments to its customers. In case of sub-allocations, the request is redirected to the AFRINIC hostmasters for evaluation (Sub-allocation window of members = 0)

The HTC M7 has been leaked ahead of its possible launch at Mobile World Congress next month, but before you get too excited, it's a render of the phone and not an actual picture, blurry or otherwise. The device has been rumored ever since the release of the Droid DNA, and is believed to be the firm's second handset with a 1080p display.
Its design is somewhat familiar, as it takes elements of the Apple iPhone 5 – the curved corners and straight sides – and the forthcoming BlackBerry Z10, with clearly separate top and bottom sections sandwiching the screen. It's a considerable departure from the One X and the Droid DNA, and could be part of a complete redesign of the range.
The image you see here was leaked by @evleaks, the same account responsible for showing us the HTC Deluxe, which subsequently became the HTC Butterfly. Apparently, it comes from a brief animated clip used to instruct new users where to insert the SIM card into the device.
When the M7 first appeared it was suggested the phone would have a 5-inch touchscreen with a 1080p resolution, just like the Droid DNA. However, this is at odds with the latest information, which says the phone will still have a 1080p resolution, but the screen size will be 4.7-inches. This fits in with the theory it'll be replacing the One X when it's launched. Inside, the quad-core Tegra 3 used in international versions of the One X may have been swapped for a Snapdragon S4 Pro, while the camera will be upgraded to one with 13-megapixels. Another possible feature is a built-in infrared sensor, which thanks to an ability to learn codes, could be used to turn the device into a universal remote control. Also, HTC could introduce its newest version of Sense, Sense 5, on the M7.
Following the initial leak, the M7 turned up on an extensive list of HTC codenames, where there were eight different variations of the phone, again hinting at its future flagship status. We're expecting HTC to have a busy Mobile World Congress, and that the M7 will be one of its headline announcements.

LONDON (AP) — In Britain, a horse is a horse — not a main course.
Tesco, the country's biggest supermarket chain, took out full-page newspaper ads Thursday to apologize for an unwanted ingredient in some of its hamburgers: horsemeat.
Ten million burgers have been taken off shop shelves after the revelation that beef products from three companies in Ireland and Britain contained horse DNA. Most had only small traces, but one burger of a brand sold by Tesco had meat content that was 29 percent horse. The contrite grocer told customers that "we and our supplier have let you down and we apologize."
Reaction to the scandal in Britain goes beyond concerns about contaminated food. While people in some countries happily dine on equine flesh, in the land of Black Beauty and "National Velvet," the idea fills many with horror.
Mary Creagh, environment spokeswoman for the opposition Labour Party, reflected the feelings of many when she said Thursday that eating horsemeat is "strongly culturally taboo in the United Kingdom."
She was echoing prohibitions in Western cultures that go back to 732 A.D., when Pope Gregory III declared horse-eating a pagan practice.
Horsemeat has never been a staple of European diets, but from the mid-19th century it was eaten in countries including Britain as cheap filler food for the poor.
"It tended to be in burgers and potted meats and sausages as cheap supplementary food," said culinary historian Annie Gray. "And it wasn't always labeled, just as we're finding out at the moment."
The sale of horsemeat in the U.K. continued through the 1930s Depression and World War II, when many foods were rationed.
But hippophagy — eating horses — never really caught on in Britain, a land of horse lovers and beef eaters.
"The eating of beef is totally symbolic of being English," Gray said — so horse was always going to be seen as a poor substitute.
Horsemeat is eaten in European countries such as France, Belgium and Italy, as well as by many in China, among the traditionally nomadic people of Central Asia and in parts of Latin America.
In France, specialist horse butchers and supermarkets sell "viande chevaline." There and in Belgium it's popular both cooked and raw, in a form of steak tartare.
Continental journalists have felt the need to explain the context of the Anglo-Irish scandal to readers. An article in 20minutes.fr said the horsemeat discovery had caused a "psychological shock for British consumers, who are no fans of horsemeat butchers." France's Le Figaro newspaper explained that the Irish "are known for their respect of this animal ... and are not in the habit of eating its meat."
Animal-rights campaigners including actress Brigitte Bardot have made little headway against the horsemeat trade, though concerns have arisen over animal welfare. In Belgium, the supermarket chain Lidl stopped selling horsemeat in 2011 after concerns about the treatment of animals by its Latin American suppliers.
Some of the horsemeat eaten in Europe comes from Britain, whose love of horses doesn't stop it from sending thousands of horses a year abroad to be killed for meat.
Fans of horsemeat say it is extremely healthy: low in cholesterol and fat, high in protein and omega-3 acids.
"I think it's delicious," said Caroline Roddis, a freelance writer who organizes Flogging a Dead Horse, a series of dining events at which horsemeat is served. "It is slightly sweeter than beef and it has got such a good depth of flavor it is hard not to like it."
Roddis reports a healthy interest in her London events, which draw as many as 50 British and foreign diners a night to sample the delights of horseflesh.
She hopes the "horseburger" scandal will make people think more about what they eat.
Officials say the source of the contamination may be a powdered beef-protein additive imported from Spain and the Netherlands to pad out the cheapest burgers, which typically contain between 60 and 70 percent meat alongside flour, water and other fillers.
"We don't really think (about) what we are putting in our mouths," Roddis said. "You go to the supermarket and you buy something that looks pinkish and has a label and you don't really think about where it comes from. I think we've really lost touch."
The handful of hardy entrepreneurs who sell horsemeat in Britain say the scandal has — paradoxically — been good for business, raising the profile of a meat few had considered.
"We've been very busy the last couple of days," said Paul Webb, director of Exotic Meats, a company in the English Midlands that sells horse burgers, sausages and steaks alongside cuts of crocodile, kangaroo and impala.
He says typical horsemeat buyers are "middle-aged, middle-class people who want to try something different."
"We've done some radio phone-ins, and 90 percent of the comments were 'I'd try it,'" Webb said.
But not everyone was convinced: "Some people say, 'I have a horse. It'd be like eating my grandmother.'"

LONDON — Now that Kate is in the hospital, what can royal baby watchers expect next? How do royal fans find out when the infant has arrived?
The short answer: Ignore all rumors on social media until there is an official announcement from Buckingham Palace. Unless you are Queen Elizabeth II or a senior member of the royal family, you will have to rely on a small piece of paper to get confirmed news that the baby is born.
Protocol requires that the queen be informed about the birth before the general public is told.
Following a time-honored royal tradition, the world will first read about the birth from a small bulletin posted in front of Buckingham Palace. It was the exact way officials announced the birth of Prince Charles in 1948 and Prince William in 1982, though this time around the monarchy has moved with the times and added social media as an easier way to reach more people.
According to officials, the process will go something like this:
— Once the baby is born, doctors will sign a foolscap-size document, with the palace letterhead, giving the baby's gender and time of birth. It will be terse and formal — the language is dictated by protocol — and will read something like "The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a prince / princess." It may also provide the infant's weight. Foolscap is a traditional British paper size — rarely used nowadays — that is taller but slightly narrower than either A4 or U.S. letter size.
— A royal aide will give this bulletin to an official, whose task is to carry the news from the hospital to the palace. It's going to be a suspenseful short journey, about 15 minutes, and the drive will almost certainly be broadcast live to millions of television viewers worldwide.
— Once at the palace, the official will post the bulletin on a wooden easel placed in the frontcourt for the public to see.
— At the same time, the monarchy's official Twitter and Facebook accounts will announce the news online.
The method of announcement has survived remarkably intact throughout the years, with only a few minor points of difference — for example, the bulletin used to be posted on the black railings outside the palace, not on an easel.
The biggest difference, of course, is the presence of online social media for the first time in the history of royal births. Twitter and Facebook have replaced cables and radio announcements, which mean that the new royal baby will be the first to own a hashtag — and the first to receive thousands of instant blessings and well wishes from around the world.

First-time home buyers, more than any other demographic, stand to benefit the most in today's real estate market.
In fact, a recent survey commissioned by Move.com reveals that 23 percent of adults plan to purchase a home in the next five years and that more than half of them (53.5 percent) will be first-time home buyers.
Consider that every time a renter buys a home, they make possible a chain reaction of transactions worth many times more than the actual value of the home they purchase. Because first-time home buyers aren't selling properties, they don't put new homes on the market when they buy. As a result, first-time homebuyers reduce real estate inventories and allow existing owners to trade-up or relocate.
The growing number of first-time homebuyers suggests that conditions are finally attracting buyers back despite the critical picture in the overall economy.
In the past, high prices and large down payments made buying a home for the first-time difficult. The right mix of attractive listing prices, tax credits, improved financing and a wide choice of properties seems to be attracting the first-time buyer.
For first-time home buyers looking to be players in today's real estate market, Move.com offers the following tips:
- Research Your Market. All real estate is localized and the key to a successful purchase is to know the market. In fact, the real estate market is so localized that prices among similar homes vary greatly even between neighboring towns.
- Make a list of what you want. Let your realtor know your criteria in order to find homes that meet your needs. You can go to Realtor.com to view homes that fit your specifications. This will give you an idea of what is possible in your price range and in the location you prefer.
- Get pre-approved. Although not a final loan commitment, a pre-approval letter can be shown to listing brokers when you are bidding on a home. It demonstrates your financial strength and shows that you have the ability to go through with a purchase. Lenders can be found in the finance section of Realtor.com.
- Make a decision. Once you find the best home that fits your needs, take action. Home buyers often hesitate, and this could mean you miss the best home that meets your needs. If you have chosen a good mortgage broker and a sharp realtor, you should have the facts to make the right decision.
