|James Baldwin via Ebony Magazine
In the aftermath of Ferguson, although it still feels so premature to call it that, I have found myself speechless, embarrassed and humiliated as many of us have. In disbelief over the absurdity of the particular incident but also utterly embarrassed to be a part of a culture that puts so little value in some of its citizens' lives. I feel the humiliation of so many African American parents... to have to instruct their kids on what to wear, and how to behave as to not arise suspicion. How do you raise a child when you have to simultaneously teach them to be their most true authentic self but also, to protect them, give them pointers on how to obfuscate their identity because "some people" might find it "threatening"?!
I have been reading news reports from Ferguson but knowing "the facts" of what happened, or how many bullets were shot and what cops are saying to protesters has brought me little understanding. What I've needed and what I have started seeking out is accounts on what it FEELS like to inhabit a black body in America. Because the laws are failing us and the institutions that are there to protect us are failing us and there is very little else that one can do other than really, sincerely try to place oneself in the shoes of those who are suffering.
To that end, read Teju Cole's beautiful essay on visiting Leukerbad (Switzerland) and re-reading James Baldwin's 1953 essay "Stranger in the Village." The essay is an examination of racism in the Swiss village, white supremacy "in its simplest form". Writing from Switzerland is also an opportunity for Baldwin to see America more clearly and to reflect on the "more intimate, intricate, familiar, and obscene American forms of white supremacy that he already knew so well."
He was a stranger in Leukerbad, Baldwin wrote, but there was no possibility for blacks to be strangers in the United States, nor for whites to achieve the fantasy of an all-white America purged of blacks. This fantasy about the disposability of black life is a constant in American history. It takes a while to understand that this disposability continues. It takes whites a while to understand it; it takes non-black people of color a while to understand it; and it takes some blacks, whether they've always lived in the U.S. or are latecomers like myself, weaned elsewhere on other struggles, a while to understand it. American racism has many moving parts, and has had enough centuries in which to evolve an impressive camouflage. It can hoard its malice in great stillness for a long time, all the while pretending to look the other way. Like misogyny, it is atmospheric. You don't see it at first. But understanding comes.Should we put together a Ferguson reading list? How disheartening would it be to find texts from the 1950s and 60s so painfully relevant today?

I initiated a date but he said he is not able to come for some reasons.
And he brought another dating idea ask me if I want to come. I was hoping to meet him on this Saturday and I actually texted that I want to see him this weekend...
The third date he brouht up is next week. by the way, he is a somewhat introverted person.
Will a guy reschedule a date if he is not genuinely interested in that girl?

Entertainment Weekly
This week's Entertainment Weekly is home to a handful of new stills from some of the summer's biggest movies. Because the images are on the smallish side of the fence, we thew them all into one story for you cats! Dig it!
World War Z – June 21st
In the film Brad Pitt plays a U.N. employee racing against time and fate as he travels the world trying to stop the outbreak of a deadly zombie pandemic, and his Plan B shingle is producing. Mireille Enos ("Big Love", "The Killing") plays his wife, a mother of two girls. Their co-stars include Eric West, Matthew Fox, David Morse, and James Badge Dale.
Pacific Rim – July 12th
When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes–a washed up former pilot (Charlie Hunnam) and an untested trainee (Rinko Kikuchi)–who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.
Elysium – August 9, 2013
In the year 2159 two classes of people exist: the very wealthy, who live on a pristine man-made space station called Elysium, and the rest, who live on an overpopulated, ruined Earth. The people of Earth are desperate to escape the planet's crime and poverty, and they critically need the state-of-the-art medical care available on Elysium – but some in Elysium will stop at nothing to enforce anti-immigration laws and preserve their citizens' luxurious lifestyle. The only man with the chance bring equality to these worlds is Max (Matt Damon), an ordinary guy in desperate need to get to Elysium. With his life hanging in the balance, he reluctantly takes on a dangerous mission – one that pits him against Elysium's Secretary Delacourt (Jodie Foster) and her hard-line forces – but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but millions of people on Earth as well.
You're Next – August 23rd
The Davison family comes under attack from a terrifying group of sadistic murderers during a family reunion getaway. Barricaded in their secluded vacation home, they fight off a barrage of axes, crossbows, and machetes from both inside and outside the house. However, the masked killers didn't count on Erin (Vinson), the young girlfriend of the eldest Davison son whose mysterious past has made her very difficult to kill.

Constant change from a regulatory perspective. They explored emerging trends in bank technology around transparency, including visibility into bank products and systems and the stringent regulatory landscape. Ultimately they address fundamental issues such as: is regulation simply the cost of doing business, or a driving force for positive change? What are the highest priority regulatory items in banking today? In an era of greater transparency and ongoing regulatory constraints, what does the future hold for banking?

Presidential Campaign of 1824
Presidential Campaign of 1832
Presidential Campaign of 1840
Presidential Election of 1844
A main concern in the race was the annexation of Texas. Cass favored it, while Clay did not. However, Clay supported the acquisition of the Oregon Territory, which was jointly administered by the United States and Great Britain at that time. The whigs also felt that they could win most of the northern states including large electoral states such as Pennsylvania and New York, believing that Cass' pro-annexation stance would be seen as a pro-slavery bias.
The Whig strategy proved successful.
|States won by Cass/Polk
|States won by Clay/Frelinghuysen
Clay received 182 electoral votes, while Cass received 93 electoral votes.
The popular vote, however, was much closer
Clay: 1,389,345 Cass: 1,242,980
1st Term: 1845-1849
Presidential Election of 1848
2nd Term: 1849-1852
Clay died on June 21, 1852, serving just over 3 years of his second term. Vice President Theodore Frelinhuysen was inaugurated on June 23.
The VP decided not to run for President, as there were just over 4 months until election day, and he did not feel he would be able to accomplish anything worthy of convincing voters to support him in such a short amount of time.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Throwing off its bully image for the 2009 U.S. tax season, the Internal Revenue Service is vowing to be sensitive and do what it can to help financially strapped Americans.
"We're announcing a number of concrete steps that the IRS is taking to work with taxpayers if they find themselves in difficult economic situations because of the current economy," Doug Shulman, a commissioner for the federal tax office, said in a conference call with reporters.
As Americans "go through their annual ritual of citizenship," as Shulman put it, IRS agents have been instructed to be sensitive, especially to previously compliant taxpayers who are for the first time unable to pay.
"We recognize the economic realities that are out there," Shulman said. "We're available to work with people."
The agents can suspend collection actions, reduce monthly payments, allow a skipped payment and take other actions to help those in need avoid default. And those who believe they cannot pay their 2008 taxes or worry they will miss a payment on back taxes can contact the agency to avoid penalties.
At the same time, the agency is trying to get more cash back to taxpayers by promoting deductions and credits.
The Recovery Rebate Credit will allow some to collect on any portion of the maximum amount of last year's Economic Stimulus Payment that they did not receive. Based on the 2008 return, citizens who have had a child, experienced a drop in income or are no longer claimed as a dependent are among those eligible for the credit.
The IRS also expanded its free electronic filing program to include those with income exceeding $56,000.
"The vast majority of Americans, we're hoping, are able to actually pay their taxes on time in the full amount," Shulman said. "I don't anticipate that these specific measures will show any appreciable drop in revenue to the government."

text: More than one million people in the U.S. are survivors of colorectal cancer, thanks to better prevention, early detection and treatment improvements, according to the American Cancer Society. Nevertheless, colorectal cancer remains the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the U.S., and is expected to kill 50,830 Americans in 2013. 1 Cigna (NYSE:CI) has been working for the past eight years to turn the tide against colorectal cancer with its award-winning Colorectal Cancer Screening Program. The battle continues this year as the company rolls out an enhanced program in March that will reach two million people who are due for screening, through a combination of targeted online messages and direct mail. Cigna podcast on importance of colorectal cancer screening. Approximately 300,000 newly eligible individuals covered by a Cigna medical plan who are 50 to 64 years of age, and whose claims data indicate they have not had a colorectal cancer screening, will receive information in the mail about appropriate colon cancer screening tests, including colonoscopy. In addition, they will be offered the opportunity to request the InSure® FIT™ screening kit, an easy and convenient at-home test that is sensitive at detecting abnormalities in the lower gastrointestinal tract. Cigna has made an arrangement with Quest Diagnostics (NYSE: DGX) to provide the test kit at no charge, and the laboratory processing fees are covered as a preventive benefit under most Cigna plans. Visit www.insuretest.com for more information about the test. Eleven thousand Cigna customers who, based on Cigna claims data, completed either the at-home kit or a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) in the last three years and did not have a follow-up colonoscopy or sigmoidoscopy, have been selected to receive an InSure® FIT™ kit this year. In addition, all Cigna customers who are age 50 to 64 will see a targeted message about colon cancer screening and the InSure® FIT™ kit whenever they logon to the company's customer web portal, myCigna.com, between the last week of March and May 30. That means customers using the web portal for common online activities such as finding a doctor, refilling a prescription, taking a health assessment, checking on coverage or reviewing a claim will be exposed to this potentially life-saving message.

The tool, which is built on the Eclipse platform, provides facilities for the graphical specification of a COMDES application. Once the application is specified, the application model is used as input to a transformation engine that generates the final configuration model involving pre-defined component models that are retrieved from a component repository. This model is finally used to generate source codes and executable, which is deployed in the target system.

Middle School Ministry Made Easy: Book Review Essay
Middle School Ministry Made Easy: Book Review
Author Information Kurt Johnston has been serving in junior high ministry since 1988. (Simply Youth Ministry n. d. ) Currently, he oversees all of student ministries and is hands on in junior high ministry at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, CA. (Oestreicher 2011) Kurt also likes encouraging junior high youth workers and has written books and created resources with that goal in mind. (Simply Youth Ministry n. d. ) The growing list of books Kurt has written include such titles as, The 9:Best Practices for Youth Ministry, and 10-Minute Moments: Smart Stuff – Exploring Proverbs 10 Minutes at a Time.
Kurt has partnered with other experts in the field of student ministry like Mark Oestreicher – President of Youth Specialties, (Oestreicher 2011) Scott Rubin -Director of Elevate, the junior high ministry at Willow Creek Community Church, (Simply Youth Ministry n. d. ) and Katie Edwards – Junior High Director at Saddleback Church, (Doug Fields 2011) to produce resources for those in student ministry such as The Middle School Survival Series, Kurt & Scott's Junior High Adventure, Amigos, 99 Thoughs About Girls: For Guys' Eyes Only, and 99 Thoughts about Guys: For Girls' Eyes Only.
Kurt's experience and expertise in student ministry is accessable at all times through a network of websites such as simplyyouthministry. com, youthministry. com, and juniorhighministry. com. Kurt authors a subscription based email newsletter that claims to be, "Almost daily deas, thoughts, & insights for your youth ministry," and has proven to be beneficial to my minsitry. Content Summary The main idea of Middle School Ministry Made Simple is stated on the back cover of the 4 book. It says, "You don't have to be an expert to minister to middle schoolers. "
The pages Johnston's book are filled with practices and strategies that could be tremendously useful in a middle school ministry setting. The tools that Johnston shares are based on twenty-three years of ministry experience, and have the personal stories of success and failure to offer authenticity and relevance to their use. Throughout the chapters of Middle School Ministry Made Simple, Johnston address issues that those engaged in middle school ministry are certain to face, like recruiting other adults to invest in the lives of teenagers.
He emphasizes seeking out leaders who are not only willing to serve but who are also a good fit for the ministry. Johnston says, "Having fewer of the right type of junior high leaders is always better than having more of the wrong type. " (Johnston 2008) Other subjects in Johnston's book address partnership with parents, middle school ministry programming, leading middle schoolers and volunteers, and the importance of a lasting ministry. Johnston emphasizes ministry programming that focuses on the five purposes of the church: evangelism, worship, fellowship, discipleship, and ministry. (Johnston 2008)
He also highlights targeting the five types of junior high students in your area: community, crowd, congregation, committed, and core. (Johnston 2008) The foundation of "Purpose Driven" ministry and targeting different types of students is the hope that as students are reached, they might progress from the outside of the fellowship, community students, to the inside of the fellowship, core. Johnson touches on some principles of leadership, and shares that his graduate degree is in the very subject.
This may be why he has so much to say, and so much insight to share when it comes to leading, either as the leader of a ministry or as a volunteer within the ministry. He 5 talks about being the leader as "leading from the front," and serving as a volunteer as "leading from the middle. " In both positions, Johnston emphasizes the importance of leaders nurturing their soul or walking closely with the Father, and gives insight into how to lead from varying levels of responsibility.
"Middle school ministry deserves adults who are committed for the long haul," says Johnston when it comes to perseverance. (Johnston 2008) He offers insight that emphasizes the lasting impact of remaining in a position of leadership for a long period of time, and shares expert advice on how to make that happen. His words garner tremendous respect, as he has proven that the principles about which he writes must be true by demonstrating incredible endurance in his own ministry.
As a result of his ministry experience, Johnston lists in an alphabetical fashion, twenty-six "tips and tidbits" that he hopes will be helpful to readers who are involved in middle school ministry. Evaluation One of the things I enjoy most about Middle School Ministry Made Simple, is that while Johnston may arguably be the authority on middle school ministry, he doesn't claim to have his field figured out. He even shares in the introduction, despite twenty-three years (twenty years upon the book's publishing) of middle school experience, "I am not an expert. "
This attitude of humility makes his advice in the chapter concerning leadership, in which he advises leaders to "pass the praise," as well as the rest of his knowledge, even more authentic. Johnston's advice on recruiting volunteers is tremendously insightful. I particularly like the way he contrasted the stereotype of an effective middle school volunteer with the list of seven key qualities he looks for in a potential ministry volunteer. While the other information in this chapter is helpful, the aforementioned comparison is the most valuable in my estimation.
I 6 think people do have a stereotype of what a middle school volunteer should look like or how they should act. Unfortunately many outstanding volunteers are missed because they don't meet expectations, while others are recruited based on faulty ideals who may not be the best for the students or the ministry team.
Johnston's handling of partnership with parents is not the strength of this book. I felt like he treated the issue as a necessary evil, but not an area of ministry focus. He emphasizes that parents are a part of the equation and so we should be involved with them. However I don't get the impression that Kurt's idea of partnership with parents is about strengthening the family as the primary disciple makers of students, as much as it is about leveraging their contributions to one's ministry.
The strength of this book is Johnson's time proven expertise, and ability to convey his experience in ministry in a way that is helpful to other middle school ministry workers. I believe that this book should be on the shelf of everyone who serves in middle school ministry, regardless of tenure of ministry. Five new things that I have learned from this work that I will apply in my future strategy are: 1. A key part of empowering others is allowing them to make decisions. 2. Develop accountability to encourage longevity. 3. Not every opportunity is a good opportunity for me. Just say no.
Three new things I can do today in the area of personal student development are: 1.Develop a presence on the local school campus. 2. Too many rules can be a hindrance. Focus on respect for others. 3. Develop a system of teaching topics that will guide students through middle school/ Some questions this book raised that I would like to discuss in class are: 1. Once a leader is aware that a volunteer is not going to work out, how does one remove 7 him or her from service without damaging the relationship?
2. What is the balance between strengthening the influence of the home and strengthening the programs of the church through student ministry? 8 Bibliography Doug Fields.

Back your business with the skills of our Brisbane-based Paid Media team – we are experts at optimising campaigns so you get the most value for your money.
What is Paid Search?
Paid Search involves creating digital ads and placing them on search engine results pages for users to see (and hopefully click on). It's a cost-effective way of reaching in-market consumers and targeting the right products and services to a wide audience. This also entails Google AdWords management and Bing Ads management.
Our Paid Search service is:
- Highly targeted
- Able to use real-time data
- Able to cater to both acquisition and retention goals.
We offer a comprehensive Paid Search/AdWords management service with all aspects handled right here in our Brisbane office. When you choose to partner with us, you can opt to get everything from ad creative to ongoing management, or you can use your own talents to complement our skillsets.
Looking for more than just paid search engine marketing? Engage our specialist team for Social Media, PPC, Display Advertising or Programmatic Advertising as well!
Why Choose Us for Paid Search Management?
It's simple – we are focused on producing the best possible results for your business. In case that's not enough, here are a few more reasons to work alongside our Paid Search pros in Brisbane.
We Offer Tailored, Customisable Service
Standard packages aren't good enough. Your business has its own objectives, models and internal resources, so we tailor our service to match your needs. Whether you want us to handle all your PPC advertising or just take care of a few of the elements of Paid Search campaign management, we can ensure a smooth execution of your AdWords or Bing paid advertising activities.
We Believe in Comprehensive Reporting
Make informed decisions using reports that give you data you can actually use. We'll work with you to identify what is important to know and understand, and ensure we track and report on those key metrics.
We are Data-Centric
Ever heard the term 'stab in the dark'? We haven't. We support everything we do with data, so you can count on us to have a solid reason for all of our recommendations.
We are Strategic
Paid Search can work in isolation, but it doesn't have to. If you want to ensure your paid channels work alongside each other, or in conjunction with owned or earned channels, we know how to integrate our efforts to fit seamlessly with your other marketing activities.
We Have Dedicated Account Managers
Nobody enjoys wasting time working through 6 layers of communication to get some copy or an image approved. With our Australian-based team, you can work directly with the person in charge of your AdWords management, so you can act fast to stay on top of developments in your business or industry.
We Have a Holistic Approach
We care about your business, not just individual campaigns. Long-term business success isn't born from one big effort at the start – it comes from a sustained effort that continuously builds on previous wins.
We Can Present You With Proven Results
We don't just say we're good – our results back up our brags!
What's Included in This Service?
Campaign Setup
This is the bones of what we'll do for your business. It sets you (and us) up for future communications and activities. Setup may include:
- Account audit
- Briefing communications
- Campaign build
- Tracking setup
- Onsite recommendations.
Ongoing Monitoring
While you may not have time to check in on your campaign regularly, it's part of our job. This means we can:
- Identify potential problems or opportunities
- Take action and make appropriate adjustments.
Continual Optimisation and Performance Analysis
What do we do to make sure you get the most out of every campaign? We continually optimise your account by:
- Conducting split tests
- Tweaking ad copy
- Adjusting budget and bid pacing
- Running regular Search Query Reports to identify new opportunities for your business.
This means you get a tight, efficient and effective campaign that maximises the return on your investment and gives users the experience they are looking for.
Experimentation and Testing
At Search Factory, we experiment more than Dr Frankenstein. Don't worry, though – our success rate is a lot higher. We employ best-practice methods of testing to make sure we can maximise your results in a way that keeps your investment safe. All of these experiments give us the data we need to do all that continual optimisation we mentioned above.
We could report on every single metric and let you sift through it trying to find what really matters to you. We won't though. That's because we believe in tailoring reports to clients based on business and campaign objectives. The bottom line? You see what affects your bottom line, in a way that's easy to understand.
Tracking and Measurement Setup
Sharing all the wins with you gets pretty difficult if we have no way to identify which wins are happening. Setting up tracking and measurement is important if we are going to understand what is going on with your account.
Landing Page Design
Make sure your landing page is optimised for conversions – if it isn't highly relevant to the search query, people may click on your ad but they won't stick around trying to find what they wanted. Our in-house team can ensure your landing page is easy to use so consumers don't go back and click on your competitor's ad instead.
Support and Expert Advice
Want recommendations on how you should split your budget for digital advertising? Looking for an expert opinion on who you should be targeting? Not sure how to balance your Google AdWords management with Bing Ads management? At Search Factory, we believe the service doesn't end when the campaign does – we go above and beyond to support our clients wherever we can.
From explanations to general thoughts and advice, our whole team is here for you!
Paid Search FAQs
Which platform is right for me?
The platform you use will largely depend on the audience you are trying to reach. There's no point in having a presence in a place where your target market doesn't spend time! While we specialise in AdWords management, we're also proficient in using similar programs as required to get results for our clients.
How can I measure success?
It is generally a good idea to use key objectives to measure success. Once you understand what is important to your business and set targets relating to those goals, you can measure success using our detailed customised reports.
What should I invest?
A range of factors will influence how much you invest with AdWords or Bing. These may include things like which industry you're operating in, the keywords you want to target, and the demand for your business offering.
What is involved in ongoing management?
Ongoing management includes campaign tracking and adjustments, budget tracking, reporting, and performance analysis, plus any insights and advice as we go.
How do you report on performance?
Since everything we do is shaped by your specific business needs, our reporting reflects this. Whether you want to know about customer acquisition, revenue, goal completions, new users, browser behaviour, or something else entirely, we can lay it out for you as part of our comprehensive reports. We can even handle more complex reporting requests requiring audience segmentation or customer analysis.
How targeted can I be?
Imagine if Legolas and Robin Hood had a love child who went into paid search marketing. That's how targeted you can be. And that's one of the great things about Paid Search – it's possible to target users by more than demographics or location. If you're smart, you can aim your efforts to reach them right when they need your product or service.
Where can I serve ads?
Forget the silver platter – with Paid Search, you can serve ads through:
- Google Partners
- Google AdSense Network
- Bing Ads Network
- Yahoo.
How do I get started?
You know those companies that say 'contact us' and so you do but then they never ever get back to you? Good news! That's not what happens with us. If you're ready to chat, so are we. Scroll down and you'll find our phone number and a handy online form – call or email us now!
Question? One of our team will get back to you ASAP!

BASEBALL; Agreement Is Near With the Minors
By MURRAY CHASS, Special to The New York Times
Published: December 3, 1990
ROSEMONT, Ill., Dec. 2— Major league officials said today they had reached an agreement in principle with the minor leagues on a new player-development agreement. Minor league officials did not characterize their view of the negotiations that strongly, but a spokesman said minor league owners did not have much objection to the latest proposal.
An agreement would end the possibility that the two sides could enter the 1991 season with competing minor league systems.
"We don't know of any issues in dispute," Carl Barger, president of the Pittsburgh Pirates and a member of the major leagues' negotiating committee, told a news briefing at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare. "It's a question of going through the procedural hurdles. When lawyers get together, there's always disagreement on language, but we have no substantive disagreement. We have an agreement in principle."
Major league general managers and farm directors were told of the status of the talks before the briefing for reporters and after minor league owners were briefed by their negotiators at their meetings in Los Angeles.
"This side is optimistic," Robert Sparks, director of information for the National Association, governing body of the minor leagues, said by telephone. "The owners generally were positive. There weren't a lot of negative comments from the floor."
Sal Artiaga, the National Association commissioner, was asked if he agreed that an "agreement in principle" had been achieved.
"That's going to be up to our membership," he said by telephone. "I'm hopeful. I'm guardedly optimistic. We have to make sure our people have an opportunity to look at this and assess it. We can't railroad this through."
He said differences remained on language issues in nine areas, adding that the negotiators were discussing them at that very moment. When those matters are resolved, he said, the agreement would be put in writing and given to the league presidents so they could present it to their members. He said he hoped that step could be taken at their final sessions Wednesday.
If the agreement is not ready for formal ratification Wednesday, when the major league owners also meet, Bill Murray, chief negotiator for the majors, said a document would be mailed to all of the owners for ratification. Asking for 'Positive Move'
But, Barger said, "We've asked for some positive move by their membership by the time they finish meeting Wednesday."
Barger referred to the impending agreement as one that "is not a full loaf to either side." Major league negotiators, he said, had been motivated to reach an agreement because of "the recognition that not only were we at the 11th hour but we are at 5 minutes to 12."
The majors, he said, agreed to the minors' proposal on the length of a new agreement -- seven years with the right to reopen it after four years. The majors also assured the minors, which were concerned about the commissioner's authority, that the commissioner would not act arbitrarily in such matters as approval of franchise sales or moves.
The minors have wanted all of their approximately 170 clubs to have player-development contracts with major league clubs. In the agreement that expires Jan. 12, major league clubs needed only to have contracts with 78 teams, or three per club. The majors have agreed to raise that number to 119.
"That'll be tens of millions more than we guarantee now," said Frank Casey, the majors' lawyer in the negotiations. Desire to Cut Costs
The major leagues entered these talks with the intention of reducing the money they give to the minors to subsidize their operations. But Casey said the agreement would cost each major league team a minimum of approximately $50,000 extra per year.
Part of the major leagues' cost would be offset by a new payment from the minor league clubs based on their ticket revenue. The minors would give the majors a minimum of $750,000 in 1991, $1.5 million in 1992, $1.75 million in 1993 and $2 million in 1994.
Initially, the minors had not wanted to begin those payments next year, but Casey said, "We basically got the notion that those numbers are acceptable."
Asked about the majors' failure to lower the subsidy, Barger said, "We did not cost-reduce here, but the agreement will improve our player development program."

Good morning. I'm not sure if there is an effective work around to my problem, but basically when laptop users come into the office they park their laptops on the docking station, which has a LAN ethernet connection.
However, the laptops usually always have the wireless connection turned on (from being away from the office) or they go between the docking station and wireless during the day as they do their job.
My problem is that these machines keep getting duplicated in Spiceworks, since both connections have different IP addresses.
We assign IP addresses dynamically and while I thought about excluding the wireless IP address, I probably don't want to do that in case they would be in the office and only use the wireless.
Has anyone else encountered this problem, and if so how did you handle?
Is it possible that Spiceworks can (or possibly will some day) handle merging more than one IP address into the same inventory record?
Thank you in advance.
This topic was created during version 3.6.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Hi there.
Do your wireless clients connect to the same DNS server? Are the wireless IP's from the same DHCP scope or have you seperated the subnets?
What manufacturer are the laptops? if you have Dells', you can tell the broadcom network cards to disable the wireless when a LAN cable is connected to the laptop, this would resolve your problem. It's not a good idea to use wireless and wired connections at the same time.

1st Post
Fist of all, sorry for replying to an old question, but it might lead to solution for the both of us.
I am having the same issue. It's not about using them both at the same time.
My collegue uses the laptops LAN adapter at his desk in his office, but in the warehouse he switches to Wireless when he is counting our inventory. It makes him able to move about with the laptop.
It would be nice if Spiceworks could merge 2 IP addresses in one computer record, since Ms. DHCP server cannot register an IP address on two MAC records.
Sep 11, 2012 at 1:33 UTC
I just revisted this posting and I must say that in subsequent versions, spiceworks must have figured out how to deal with the duplicate records for work stations for both cards. however, I just recently ran into another issue, which is along the sames lines, that was caused by my internal network settings. specifcially, i started getting duplicate records again, where spiceworks couldn't contact the device and created a new record. each record had different IP addresses. when I would do an nslookup of the IP address, I would discovered that DHCP would list more than one device with the same IP address.
the root cause is that we are getting dangerously close to running out of IP address due to our original IP schema mask. We are going to open it up this weekend; but in the meantime my IT consultant changed settings in DHCP to delete stale IP address records after 7 days. previously he had it set to 30 days.
once we get more addresses this problem should go away as computers shouldn't have to battle over the same ip addresses when coming in and out of the office; but at least the steps he took to clean out the stale IP address records fixed my immediately scanning issue.
hope this helps someone else searching for similar issues within support area of spiceworks.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Metropolitan Cities under Transition: The Example of Hamburg/Germany
In the intermediate and long run, energy prices and hence transportation costs are expected to increase significantly. According to the reasoning of the New Economic Geography this will strengthen the spreading forces and thus affect the economic landscape. Other influencing factors on the regional distribution of economic activity include the general trends of demographic and structural change. In industrialized countries, the former induces an overall reduction of population and labor force, whereas the latter implies an ongoing shift to the tertiary sector and increased specialization. Basically, cities provide better conditions to cope with these challenges than do rural regions. Since the general trends affect all economic spaces similarly, especially cityspecific factors have to be considered in order to derive the impact of rising energy costs on future urban development. With respect to Hamburg, regional peculiarities include the overall importance of the harbor as well as the existing composition of the industry and the service sector. The analysis highlights that rising energy and transportation costs will open up a range of opportunities for the metropolitan region.

RBPlat concludes agreement with NUM
by July 17, 2014 6:30 pm0
The new wage agreement with the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) is expected to be implemented in two phases and applies to all RBPlat employees within the A to D1 categories. This constitutes 89 per cent of the South African company's workforce.
"The first phase will be effective from 1 July 2014 to 30 June 2017, while the second phase, the terms of which have already been agreed to, will be effective from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2019. The parties have agreed that a wage review will be undertaken in May 2017," [DATA RBP:RBPlat] said.
(READ MORE: RBPlats emphasises revised strategy in FY results)
"The purpose of this review will be to ensure that the agreed increases are in line with the Consumer Price Index prevailing at that time, and that RBPlat's minimum wage remains in line with that of the platinum industry."
The South African platinum group metals producer indicated that the new wage agreement is unique in that it presents a total value proposition for all company stakeholders.
"The value proposition includes a housing component that forms part of the housing scheme the company announced on 2 June 2014. The housing scheme enhances the ability of employees to create sustainable personal wealth through ownership of an asset that will appreciate over time," it said.
"The safe and secure environment offered by the housing scheme is expected to support a family orientated lifestyle. It is also envisaged that decent living conditions for employees will contribute positively towards improved performance and the prevailing safety culture."
RBPlat also expects the Living Out Allowance (LOA) and Home Owners Allowance (HOA) to be gradually phased out as employees are allocated homes and applied instead as Housing Fund Contributions.
"The LOAs and HOAs that remain in place will be increased by approximately seven per cent per annum for the first two years of the new wage agreement and thereafter remain the same for the remaining three years," said the company.

"RBPlat believes that the new agreement will provide the company and all its business partners with a critical measure of stability as they continue to focus on growing the business for all stakeholders."

World Economic Forum & McKinsey & Company, Risk and Responsibility in a Hyperconnected World (Jan. 2014) (full-text).
Overview Edit
For the world's economy to get full value from technological innovation, it must have a robust, coordinated approach to cybersecurity. This report looks at how that could happen.
This report assesses the necessary action areas, and examines the impact of cyberattacks and response readiness. The report sets these against three alternative scenarios in which economic value from technological innovations is realized or lost depending on models of cyber resilience. It examines the value that could be put at risk if the adoption of such innovations is delayed because more frequent, intense cyberattacks are not met with more robust cyber resilience. Finally, the report draws conclusions from the analysis and research, and offers a 14-point roadmap for collaboration.

Rinspeed XchangE: With this self-driving car you can eat, sleep, & work
Rinspeed XchangE an electric car: Office plus living room on wheels
Text: AFP
Brew an espresso, watch a movie on a large screen, surf the Internet or simply sit and chat with friends?
As automakers and technology firms steer towards a future of driverless cars, a Swiss think tank is at the Geneva Motor Show this week showing off its vision of what vehicles might look like on the inside when people no longer have to focus on the road.
"Once I can drive autonomously, would I want to watch while my steering wheel turns happily from left to right?" asked Rinspeed founder and chief executive Frank Rinderknecht. "No I would like to do anything else but drive and watch the traffic. Eat, sleep, work, whatever you can imagine," he told at the show.
Working on fully autonomous cars
In Pic: The Rinspeed XchangE electric powered autonomous driving concept car is pictured during the media day ahead of the 84th Geneva Motor Show at the Palexpo Arena in Geneva March 5, 2014. The Geneva Motor Show will run from March 6 to 16.
Google is famously working on fully autonomous cars, and traditional carmakers are rapidly developing a range of autonomous technologies as well.
With analysts expecting sales of self-driving, if not completely driverless, cars to begin taking off by the end of this decade, Rinderknecht insists it's time to consider how the experience of riding in a car will could be radically redefined.
Turning standard-sized vehicles into entertainment centres
In Pic: An hostess poses inside the new Rinspeed "XchangE" concept car displayed at the Swiss carmaker's booth during the press day of the Geneva Motor Show on March 4, 2014.
Patting his shiny Xchange concept car, Rinderknecht says he envisages a future where car passengers will want to do the same kinds of things we today do to kill time on trains an airplanes.
So Rinspeed has revamped the interior of Tesla's Model S electric car to show carmakers how they might turn standard-sized vehicles into entertainment centres, offices and meeting spots wrapped into one.
Interesting Features
The seats can slide, swivel, and tilt into more than 20 positions, allowing passengers to turn to face each other or a 32-inch screen in the back.
Up front too, an entertainment system lines the entire length of the dashboard, and the steering wheel can be shifted to allow passengers a better view of the screens.
Espresso machine, video conferencing & much more
And of course there is an espresso machine. While brewing coffee, video conferencing and keeping an eye on your email at 120 kilometres an hour may sound like a fantasy today, Rinderknecht is convinced it could happen in the not too distanced future.
"We think this is what things could look like in a few years time," he said.

In Pic: A model poses in the Rinspeed XchangE electric powered autonomous driving concept car is pictured during the media day ahead of the 84th Geneva Motor Show at the Palexpo Arena in Geneva on March 5, 2014.
Driving, he said, is on the cusp of being redefined, allowing people to take the wheel for pleasure, for instance while going over an Alpine pass, but handing over control of the car on tedious stretches.
Carmakers at the Geneva Motor Show seemed to agree that vehicles that drive themselves, at least to a certain extent, are on the horizon.
Accident reduction major argument for automation
In Pic: The Rinspeed XchangE elctric powered autonomous driving concept car is pictured in Geneva on March 5, 2014.
He stressed though that "full automation" was not a priority. Ford Europe chief Stephen Odelle also said the technology was speeding forward, but added that he believed "the technology will be ready before legislation and consumers are."
"How comfortable will consumers be with fully automated cars?" he asked, adding that legislating for liability would be quite tricky with no driver behind the wheel. Rinderknecht acknowledged there are obstacles, but insisted "they can be overcome."
He pointed out that accident reduction is actually a major argument for automation, since once the technology is finalised the machines should be far more reliable than humans.
