Hal Steinbrenner holds meeting to discuss poor state of Yankees minor league system

With the flip of a switch, the Gene Leahy Mall and all of downtown Omaha lit up like a winter wonderland. For forty blocks, Omaha trees are covered in twinkle lights.
The Holiday Lights event attracted a few thousand people on the cold night. Many families arrived early just to get parking and a good spot to see the big reveal.
"We are here to just experience the lighting of the lights. It's the first time I've ever seen it, we heard about it, we've seen it, and it's just a great time to come together as a family," said Kendra Noel with her family.
After the light switch, there is the Making the Season's Brighter Concert that took place at 7 at the Holland Performing Arts Center.
This event supports the "Shine the Light on Hunger Campaign."

India and Pakistan foreign ministers meet
The Indian and Pakistani foreign ministers are meeting in Islamabad in an effort to revive peace talks that froze after the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Pakistan says all issues are on the table for the talks between Shah Mehmood Qureshi and India's SM Krishna.
Islamabad is expected to bring up its complaint that India is diverting water from rivers that cross the border.
The talks are the third high-level contact in six months and the foreign ministers' first meeting since 2008.
In February, the two nations' senior foreign ministry officials met in Delhi. Last month, their home ministers met in Islamabad.
The BBC's Aleem Maqbool in the Pakistani capital says after the turbulent times between the two nuclear neighbours, these talks will be feted as a success simply if they do not collapse.
"Start Quote
End Quote Asif Ali Zardari Pakistani President
Both governments need to work more closely for eliminating this menace [of militancy]"
The 2008 Mumbai (Bombay) attacks - which severely damaged relations between the two - are expected to be the focus of the talks.
India blamed the bloodshed - in which Islamist gunmen killed more than 160 people - on Pakistan-based militants. After initial denials, Pakistan admitted the attacks were partly planned on its soil.
Mr Krishna also met Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Thursday.
Afterwards, the president urged intelligence sharing between the two countries to help fight terrorism.
"Pakistan is against militancy and terrorism in any form and in any location and both the governments need to work more closely for eliminating this menace," President Asif Ali Zardari said in a statement.
Recent violence in the divided Kashmir region - at the heart of hostility between the neighbours - was also expected to be discussed.
As the two ministers met, news emerged that the second Indian army major in as many days had been killed in a bitter firefight with militants in mountainous forest at Poonch district, Indian-administered Kashmir.
Separatists in the region began an insurgency against Indian rule in 1989 - a movement almost immediately backed by Pakistan - and since then tens of thousands of people have been killed.
Mostly Muslim Kashmir has been the cause of two of three wars between Pakistan and India since independence from Britain in 1947. Relations between the two countries have been bedevilled by border and resource disputes.

Supposing you have a 4 core system, that 25% means it's pinning one entire core.What's the page that's causing the issue?--Scott Brown Consulting
What does the Performance tab of task manager look like?The way you tell which site is causing the issue is open them individually.
Well, you need to follow process of elimination to isolate the cause. Deconfigure those automatic home pages for the moment (you can always put them back later) and experiment with opening IE to about:blank, then trying the individual pages to see which one is the offender.
I know this is not exactly what you recommended, and I will try that, but I pinged each of the web sites. Smartmoney was the longest at 245 ms average.
High ping wouldn't bog down the browser instance, what would do that is a lot of / broken / poorly implemented dynamic scripting.
Can you remind me how to flush the DNS cached?Thanks.

Occasionally our itineraries are updated during the year to incorporate improvements stemming from past travellers' comments and our own research. The information given in this itinerary may be slightly different to that in the brochure. It's very important that you print and review a final copy of your Trip Notes a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans. For the latest updated Trip Notes please visit our website: www.intrepidtravel.comPlease note that while we operate successful trips in this region throughout the year, some changes may occur in our itineraries due to inclement weather and common seasonal changes to timetables and transport routes. This can happen with little notice so please be prepared for modifications to the route.
A selection of optional activities are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only. Prices are for entrance only and don't include transport costs to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination. Optional activities aren't necessarily endorsed or recommended by Intrepid nor included in price of this trip. If you do any optional activities, you do so at your own risk and it must be clearly understood that your participation is your own decision and doesn't form part of your contract with Intrepid. You may be required to sign/complete a waiver form or a receipt for some optional activities.
The receipt of commissions or kickbacks in exchange for recommending particular shops or services is ingrained in the culture of the tourism industry. Rather than turning a blind eye to this unavoidable issue in some areas, Intrepid has established a centralised fund whereby contributions from recommended suppliers are collected and distributed back into the business. Intrepid aim to provide the best value trips in the market, and this fund assists in keeping operating costs and trip prices low to you.A priority in establishing this fund is that the experience of our traveller - you - is not compromised in any way. Please let us know via the feedback form completed after your trip if we are successfully meeting this objective.
The official currency of Thailand is the Baht (THB).The most convenient and cheapest way to obtain local currency is via an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) or Bancomat. ATMs are now available in most towns and visa cash advances are available in major banks. Foreign currency notes that are old, torn or faded can be very difficult to exchange, clean bills in small denominations are most useful. Traveller's cheques can be difficult to change. The use of credit cards is restricted, mainly to major hotels.
Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping, participating in optional activities, and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
If you're happy with the services provided a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it's of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid destinations. Although can be difficult to source we advise you to carry small notes of local currency each day to make tipping easier. Please note we recommend that any tips are given directly to the intended recipient by a member of your group as our group leaders are prohibited from collecting cash for tips.The following amounts are per person suggestions based on local considerations and feedback from our past travellers:Restaurants: Local markets and basic restaurants - round your bill up to the nearest US$1. More up-market restaurants we suggest 10% to 15% of your bill.Local guides: Throughout your trip you may at times have a local guide in addition to your leader. We suggest US$2-US$3 per day for local guides.Drivers: You may have a range of drivers on your trip. Some may be with you for a short journey while others may be with you for several days. We would suggest a higher tip for those more involved with the group, however we suggest US$1-US$2 per day for drivers.Your Tour Leader: You may also consider tipping your tour leader for outstanding service throughout your trip. The amount is entirely a personal preference, however as a guideline US$2-US$4 per person, per day can be used. Of course you are free to tip more or less as you see fit, depending on your perception of service quality and the length of your trip. Remember, a tip is not compulsory and should only be given when you receive excellent service.In total, we recommend you budget approx US$5-US$10 per day of your trip to cover tipping.At your group meeting on Day 1, your tour leader will discuss with you the idea of running a group tipping kitty, whereby everybody contributes an equal amount and then your group leader pays the tips while keeping a running record of all monies spent (except restaurant tips). The record can be checked at any time and any money remaining at the end of the tour returned to group members. This is often the easiest way to avoid the hassles of needing small change and knowing when and what is an appropriate amount to tip.Please don't tip with coins, very small denomination notes, or dirty and ripped notes. This is regarded culturally as an insult.
All departure taxes should be included in your international flight ticket.
Maximum of 16 travellers per group.
As you travel on a group trip you will be exposed to all the pleasures and maybe some of the frustrations of travelling in a group. Your fellow travellers will probably come from all corners of the world and likely a range of age groups too. We ask you to be understanding of the various needs and preferences of your group - patience with your fellow travellers is sometimes required for the benefit of everyone's travel experience. Remember too that you have responsibilities to the group. If you are requested to be at a place at a certain time, ensure that you don't keep the rest of the group waiting. We have found time and time again that the very best trips we operate are those where the dynamics within the group work well - this takes just a little effort on your part.Due to privacy reasons we are unable to provide you with contact details and any personal information about your fellow travellers booked on your trip prior to departure.
Our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and don't involve a compulsory single supplement. Single travellers share with people of the same gender in accommodation ranging from twin to multishare. Some of our itineraries have accommodation booked on a mixed gender share basis and where applicable this will be specified in our Trip Notes. On a selection of our trips, you have the option to pay a single supplement to ensure that you have your own accommodation (where available). Please note that this only applies to accommodation during the tour - pre-trip and post-trip accommodation will be booked on a single room basis.
A single supplement is available on this trip, please ask your booking agent for more information. Please note that on the following nights the supplement is not available:
- Day 4 Homestay
- Day 7 Overnight Train
Hotel (3 nts), Resort (2 nts), Overnight sleeper train (1 nt), Homestay (1 nt)
The style of accommodation indicated in the day-to-day itinerary is a guideline. On rare occasions, alternative arrangements may need to be made due to the lack of availability of rooms in our usual accommodation. A similar standard of accommodation will be used in these instances.TWIN SHARE / MULTI SHARE BASIS
Accommodation on this trip is on a twin/multishare basis. Please note there may be times where facilities will be shared rather than ensuite and rare occasions when you share a room with passengers travelling on different Intrepid trips than your own.CHECK-IN TIME
Throughout the trip we request that our hotels prepare rooms in time for our arrival, especially if we're arriving prior to normal check-in time. However this isn't always possible which means we won't be able to check-in immediately on arrival at some hotels. Instead, we can store our luggage and explore our new destination.PRE/POST TRIP ACCOMMODATION
If you've purchased pre-trip or post-trip accommodation (if available), you may be required to change rooms from your trip accommodation for these extra nights.
While travelling with us you'll experience the vast array of wonderful food available in the world. Your group leader will be able to suggest restaurants to try during your trip. On our camping trips we often cook the region's specialities so you don't miss out. To give you the maximum flexibility in deciding where, what and with whom to eat, generally not all meals are included in the trip price. This also gives you more budgeting flexibility. As a rule our groups tend to eat together to enable you to taste a larger variety of dishes and enjoy each other's company. There's no obligation to do this though.
1 Breakfast, 2 Lunches, 1 Dinner
Budget for meals not included:
Taxi, Overnight sleeper train
There are some long travel days and some of the transport can be quite cramped and without air-conditioning.
Overnight sleeper trains in Thailand are air-conditioned with sleeping berths down both sides of the carriage. The carriage is multishare, and there are curtains that close over the beds. A sleeping sheet and a pillow are provided, and our luggage travels in the carriage with us. There is a western and Asian-style toilet located at the end of the carriage, with carriage lights staying on during the night.

Visas are the responsibility of the individual traveller. The visa requirements for your trip vary depending on where you are from and where you are going. As a general rule most countries expect that you will have at least 6 months' validity on your passport. On arrival visitors may be asked to present return tickets and evidence of means to cover your intended stay.We keep the following information up to date as much as possible, but rules do change - it's important that you check for yourself. Residents from other countries must consult the relevant embassies or your travel agent.
Australia: No - not required
Belgium: No - not required
Canada: No - not required
Germany No - not required
Ireland: No - not required
Netherlands: No - not required

USA: No - not requiredIf entering by air you will be granted a 30 day stay on arrival.If entering by a land border, you will be granted a 15 day stay only. A visa extension can be obtained in Thailand at an immigration office for approx. 2000THB or alternatively you can apply for a Thailand visa in advance from your embassy or consulate that will allow a 30 day stay when entering at an overland border.
Exception– as of 28 Oct 2013 citizens of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Italy, Germany and Japan are eligible for 30 day visa at land borders.
While we always endeavour to provide the best possible holiday experience, due to the nature of travel and the areas we visit sometimes things can and do go wrong. Should any issue occur while you are on your trip, it is imperative that you discuss this with your group leader or our local representative straight away so that they can do their best to rectify the problem and save any potential negative impact on the rest of your trip.We recognise that there may be times when your group leader/local partner may not be able to resolve a situation to your satisfaction - if this is the case, please ask the leader to speak to their direct manager.You may also choose to provide details in your online feedback, which we ask you to complete within 30 days of the end of your trip. But we do ask you to be aware that it is very difficult for us to provide any practical help after the trip is complete.
What you need to bring will vary according to the trip style you have chosen, the countries you are visiting and when you are travelling. Generally speaking you should pack as lightly as possible. On the vast majority of our trips you are expected to carry your own luggage and although you won't be required to walk long distances with your luggage (max 30 minutes), we recommend keeping the weight under 10kg / 22lb.Most travellers carry their luggage in a backpack, although an overnight bag with a shoulder strap would suffice if you travel lightly. Smaller bags or backpacks with wheels are convenient although we recommend your bag has carry straps. You'll also need a day pack/bag to carry water and a camera etc for day trips.
Consider bringing your own water bottle to refill along the way. The sale of bottled water contributes to an enormous environmental problem around the world. In addition to the water in bottles, the production of a 1 litre plastic bottle takes 2 litres of water and 200ml of oil. A large proportion ends up in limited landfill or discarded in waterways and natural environments. Although it can be difficult to avoid bottled water when travelling, please consider water purification techniques such as iodine or micropur and use the water dispensers which are provided at some of our accommodation. When unable to avoid bottled water it is better to buy the largest available and distribute into your smaller bottle for the day
All travellers need to be in good physical health in order to participate fully on this trip. When selecting your trip please make sure you have read through the itinerary carefully and assess your ability to cope with our style of travel. Please note that if, in the opinion of our group leader or local guide, any traveller is unable to complete the itinerary without undue risk to themselves and/or the rest of the group, Intrepid reserves the right to exclude them from all or part of a trip without refund.You should consult your doctor for up-to-date medical travel information or for any necessary vaccinations and anti-malarial requirements before departure. We recommend that you carry a first aid kit as well as any personal medical requirements (including a spare pair of glasses) as they may not easily be obtained at the locations on this trip. For legal reasons our leaders and guides are prohibited from administering any type of drugs including headache tablets and antibiotics. Please ensure that you are adequately prepared.
Rare instances of dengue fever have been reported in this region. This virus is transmitted by mosquitoes. There is no vaccination against it, but there are preventative measures that you can take such as wearing long clothing, using repellent and being indoors particularly around dusk and dawn.
Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. Please refer to our website's safety page for links to major travel advisories and updates on safety issues affecting our trip.We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe-keeping of your passport, air tickets, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewellery at home - you won't need it while travelling. Many of our hotels have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage.Your leader will accompany you on all included activities, however during your trip you'll have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy or explore at your leisure. While your group leader will assist you with the available options in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your Intrepid itinerary, and Intrepid makes no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Please also note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it's deemed necessary due to safety concerns.
Please be aware that local laws governing tourism facilities in this region differ from those in your home country and not all the accommodation which we use has a fire exit, fire extinguishers or smoke alarms.
Depending on where you come from please note that drivers in this part of the world may drive on the opposite side of the road from what you are used to. Look both ways before crossing any road. Traffic can be a little more chaotic than you might be used to at home. Be aware!
While travelling there is always the risk of pick-pocketing and petty theft, particularly in the more touristy cities. We recommend that you exercise caution when walking alone at night and encourage you to walk together and only on main, well-lit thoroughfares. Be particularly vigilant on public transport. Simple measures like carrying your day pack on your front, not hanging your bag over the back of your chair and wearing a money belt will reduce any chance that your valuables should go missing.
You may stay at hotels with unfenced pools and no life guard on duty.
Please be aware that local laws governing transportation safety may differ from those in the western world or from your home country and not all the transport which we use provides seat belts.
While life jackets are generally available on water craft, there may be occasions where they are not provided and child size life jackets are not always readily available. If travelling with children and this safety issue concerns you we will be able to advise alternative methods of transport (where available) for you to travel to the next destination. You can choose to travel independently for this leg of the journey. This would be at your own expense.
Some hotel balconies don't meet UK standards in terms of the width of the balcony fence being narrower than 10cm.
Please note that helmets aren't provided for the sightseeing on bicycles.
Travel insurance is compulsory for all our trips. We require that, at a minimum, you are covered for medical expenses including emergency repatriation. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects.When travelling on a group trip, you won't be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance and the insurance company's 24 hour emergency contact number has been seen by your leader.If you have credit card insurance your group leader will require details of the participating insurer/underwriter, the level of coverage, policy number and emergency contact number rather than the bank's name and credit card details. Please contact your bank for these details prior to arriving in-country.
We believe strongly in low impact or rather positive impact tourism. Broadly speaking this means that we try to minimise the negative aspects of tourism on the local cultures and environments that we visit and highlight the positive aspects.
When packing be aware that dress standards are conservative throughout Asia, especially outside major cities. To respect this and for your own comfort, we strongly recommend modest clothing. This means clothing that covers your shoulders and knees. Loose, lightweight, long clothing is both respectful and cool in the predominantly hot Asian climate. In many rural areas in Asia women will need to wear modest clothing even to swim. Singlets, tank tops and topless sun bathing are all unacceptable. When visiting religious sites men often need to wear long trousers and women a long skirt or sarong.
Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on our trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land, but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for Intrepid travellers. Intrepid's philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter and in particular, the local people who make our destinations such special places. The exploitation of prostitutes is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our group leader has the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they use prostitutes.

It's Ken Shamrock...
I can't see Kimbo lasting long against Shamrock on the ground then again I haven't watched Shamrock fight since the early 90's...Does he have anything left in the tank?
Just caught wind of Kimbo Slice facing off against Ken Shamrock, on CBS' next Elite XC event, scheduled for Oct. 4th.
Will post a link when I get a chance......

It's Ken Shamrock...
I can't see Kimbo lasting long against Shamrock on the ground then again I haven't watched Shamrock fight since the early 90's...Does he have anything left in the tank?
Shamrock hasn't won a fight in years and has looked putrid against average fighters. Even when he was in his prime, he would run out of gas. Kimbo will knock the taste out of Shamrock's mouth.
Good fight for Kimbo and will be fun to watch. Everyone wants Kimbo in the ring with some studs to see what he has, but aside from Brock lesner no beginning fighter facing great comp in his first few fights, not even the great ones such as Couture fought anything close to the experienced fighters that Kimbo has already fought
sure there is more hype on Kimbo than most any other fighter in history at least for newbies that is, but its all media, the dude has a long way to go before someone with his limited skills should face a top notch opponent
I'll be at this fight and hope to have alot of fun, the card is shaping up decently enough and live MMA is great. Shamrock will standup with kimbo and get his clock cleaned, he last fought a few months ago and got KO'd in about a min, cold clocked KO'd...Kimbo needs to do the same thing to him if they fight. I read about this a week ago but it was only a rumor, not sure it will happen but it makes sense because it will draw viewers on CBS for sure
Tank Abbott? Over the hill. Cantrell has a 10-10 record and is a stiff. Thompson is the only one with a decent record (14-9), beefed up by beating up older dudes.
And the sad part is that Shamrock is going to come in with his chiseled body, years of experience and his glass jaw and get knocked clear into tomorrow. He flat out sucks and was never very good to begin with.
1. beats Steven Graham (1-0) (2-1)
2. beats Tony Halme (0-0) (0-4)
3. Beat Vitor Belfort (4-0) (17-8)
4. Maurice Smith (4-0)
combined record of opponents in first three pro fights (5-0)
Kimbo Slice
1. beats Bo Cantrell (10-10)
2. Beat Tank Abbott (9-13) (9-14)
3. beats James Thompson (14-8) (14-9)
4. set to face Ken Shamrock (26-13-2)
combined record of opponents in first three pro fights (33-31)
Looking at that fact and comparing Kimbo to the UFC's greatest HW of all time you'd have to say that he's faced vastly more experienced fighters in his first fights than Randy did, so why would people expect a newbie like Kimbo to have to face studs? The only exception that I have ever seen in the sport is Brock who's faced two of the best HWs straight up and he is certainly an anomaly. Give him a chance and see if he develops, maybe he asses out maybe he earns a fight against a talented fighter and see what happens, until then just enjoy, or not.
people bash him for fighting less threatening opponents only because there is media hype around him, I'd rather watch him slowly progress and see what happens, maybe he aint sheet, maybe he could be decent, only one way to find out really
honestly, I think that Ricco Rodriguez would be a good opponent for him, he fought on the undercard of the Abbott fight which I was at live and he was overweight but fought hard in a decision loss to the now HW Champ Bigfoot Silva, if Elite kept him on contract they should pair him up with him next, eventually he will need to face Brett Rodgers but not quite yet
How about bob sapp vs kimbo?
How about Mike Tyson Vs Kimbo?
Tyson is way over the hill, nearly 350 pounds, has no ground game and will draw a huge crowd...Perfect opponent for Kimbo and Elite XC no? As idiotic as this sounds I bet they have already discussed this and probably even contacted Tyson...lol
Yes and he would get his ass kicked by most of them. He's is fighting over the hill has beens that haven't won **** in the last few years. It's all about marketing and their doing a great job with it. Have a new wave internet tough guy fight some old washed up fighters so he can get a few wins and bring in a new crowd to watch their sport. Great idea.
If Kimbo fights a young wrestler/grabbler he would get killed unless he lands a lucky punch. He has a rock for a head and can knock out anyone but he has no skill what so ever and he can't last more then a few minutes before he is gased.
This being said if Shamrock lets his ego get to him and tries to fight Kimbo standing up he's going to be knocked out in the first round. If he fights smart and takes it to the ground Kimbo will tap out or the fight will be stopped in the first round. Either way it's a crap fight.
Also I wouldn't mind watching Lesner vs Sapp just for the size and power of the two. Make the match without a weight limit and start a new weigh class. Not sure who would win but I think Lesner would get him to the ground and end it.
Kimbo is a noone, he is a clown....we will see how long he is gunna go on beating up has been's like Abott and Shamrock...and BTW he did tap.
the media has hyped him as being a bad ass and his organization has also to an extent, but the man himself is nothing but humility, yet everyone hates him due to some perception that he acts likes he's something he's not, thats what makes me laugh about all the anti-Kimbo nonsense

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Former Indiana Schools Superintendent Tony Bennett has found new work helping to pitch a Common Core test to state education leaders.
ACT spokesman Ed Colby said Friday that Bennett will help the company pitch its Aspire test throughout the states.
ACT is more widely known for its college-entry tests administered throughout the Midwest. But it is also one of many testing companies looking to sell their tests to states that have adopted Common Core standards.
Bennett resigned as Florida's schools chief earlier this year, shortly after The Associated Press published emails showing he altered Indiana's school grading formula to help benefit a GOP donor's charter school.
Bennett is scheduled to appear before the State Ethics Commission next month on charges he misused state resources when campaigning for re-election last year.

Create West Virginia officials say their annual event is coming to Glenville and Glenville State College. Create WV's next annual conference is scheduled from Sat.-Tues., Oct. 25-28, 2014.
Create West Virginia Co-Founder Jeff James, a native of Glenville but now a Charleston entrepreneur, stated, "We are very excited about being welcomed to Glenville and know that our conference here in late October will be an amazing success with the support of GSC President Dr. Peter Barr, the Gilmer County Commission, Glenville Mayor Dennis Fitzpatrick, various economic development and cultural entities, the local school system, and the community at large. This will be the first time that the conference will be held in affiliation with a higher education institution, and we are especially honored to be the inaugural conference of the stunning new $27 million Waco Center."
"I know I speak for the entire community when I say that we believe Glenville is one of the most positively changed small towns in West Virginia, and we intend to collectively make this the best Create West Virginia conference ever," said GSC President Barr.
"Glenville was chosen as the host of the 7th Annual Create West Virginia conference due to the cooperative, innovative partnership between Glenville State College and the Glenville and Gilmer County communities, the efforts to improve downtown Glenville, the entrepreneurial activities of local students, and the vast cultural and intellectual resources of Glenville State College," James added.
Following the announcement at the GSC Board of Governors meeting held on February 12, James presented Barr with a plaque. "In recognition of his leadership and passion for Glenville State College, Glenville, Gilmer County, the entire central West Virginia region, and Create West Virginia, we are pleased to present this memento of our appreciation," James stated.
Of the presentation, Dr. Barr said, "I'm truly surprised and touched that Create West Virginia graciously presented me with this thoughtful present which I will truly treasure. It was an honor to speak at last year's highly successful conference in Richwood, West Virginia."
The plaque itself is a clear acrylic rendering of an expansive feature article chronicling Dr. Barr's life. It was written by Sandy Wells and published in the Charleston Gazette on January 5, 2014. The headline of the article, which included many pictures, was: "Visionary Leader Energizes Glenville State." The link to the article can be found on the GSC website's (www.glenville.edu) President's Office page.
Create WV is a non-profit, grass-roots organization that helps West Virginians embrace opportunities for jobs and quality of life in the growing
"Innovation Economy." This year's conference will attract hundreds of leaders and innovators from around the state and will bring in speakers and facilitators from across the country to engage in roundtable discussions addressing growth opportunities in West Virginia on multiple fronts.
Dr. Bob Henry Baber, of GSC's PR Dept. and a former mayor of Richwood, comments, "Create West Virginia really have Richwood a badly needed shot in the arm last October, and now progress is really being made there."
To the contrary, he emphasizes that Glenville is not a depressed community like Richwood, but Create WV will incubate many new ideas and open up new channels for the college's and community's future development. "It's just a real honor for Glenville to be selected as a Create West Virginia community," he stressed.
On this Tues., evening, Mar. 25, James and associate, Rebecca Kimmons, met with Mayor Dennis Fitzpatrick and interested citizens at Glenville City Hall, explaining the project in more detail.
"What's in it for Glenville?" James asked, quickly answering, "Many talented people will be coming here and will give their suggestions."

My Point of View
A decade later, did 9/11 really alter our security landscape?
A security policy is a business process. And any business process that is not validated is useless. If nothing else, the residual effects of 9/11 have clearly demonstrated that mitigating risk requires a strategic plan, organizational alignment, and most importantly, the courage to confront the enemy — even if it is in your own boardroom.
If you have any comments for Steve Lasky regarding this or any other security industry-related issue, please e-mail him at email@example.com.

Minimum Pension under EPScheme:
" The Central Government had constituted an Expert Committee for reviewing the Employees Pension Scheme (EPS), 1995. The recommendations of the Expert Committee were placed before the Central Board of Trustees, Employees Provident Fund [CBT (EPF)] for consideration on 15th September, 2010. The CBT (EPF) directed that the report be first considered by the Pension Implementation Committee (PIC), a Sub-Committee of the Employees Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO). The PIC has since finalized its report and recommended that a minimum monthly pension under EPS, 1995 be increased to Rs.1000/- per month as an interim measure by enhancing the rate of contribution in the EPS, 1995 by 0.63%. The recommendations of the PIC was deliberated by the CBT (EPF) in its 197th and 198th Meetings held on 23rd December, 2011 and 22nd February, 2012, respectively. However, the deliberations have remained inconclusive and the Board has decided to defer the discussion."
This when implemented give marginal relief to some of the pensioners who draws < Rs.1000/- pension from their PF pension scheme.

While the clients of Irving Lang's State Farm agency benefited from his insurance skills, others benefited from his decency and visionary skills.
"He did give a lot of himself in everything he did," said his wife of 52 years, Darlene.
At the age of 15 he lived with his aunt in Wisconsin. Her husband worked at Inland Steel. It was a rough area without indoor plumbing.
Irving Lang, 78, of Dyer, died March 23.
He joined the U.S. Navy at 17 and was honorably discharged at 19 after being injured on duty.
"But the Navy gave him enough structure in his life," his wife said.
They became acquainted as he attended Ball State University and she studied at Indiana University in Bloomington.
After working for Xerox, NIPSCO, Equitable Insurance and Prudential Insurance, he began a 31-year career with State Farm.
"It ended up being a wonderful, wonderful opportunity," Darlene Lang said.
He bought a small house in Highland at Hart Road and 45th Street -- but once again was faced with no indoor plumbing.
"He worked hard to get signatures from community members and successfully petitioned the Highland Town Board to have 45th Avenue expanded, had sewers and a culvert added and buried for drainage," said his daughter, Marcy Grim.
Darlene Lang said her husband gave to every person who came into his office looking for donations — a frequent occurrence.
She also recalled one Christmas when a woman called and told him that her husband had left her. His immediate response was to write a check for her.
This fit right in with his personal philosophy: "To whom much is given, much is expected."

Hey it's Ethan Brightman here, one half of awesome. My brother Evan is the other if you couldn't already tell. We both attend Dalton Academy (WINDSOR REPRESENT). It's horribly hard to be alone, but thankfully we're twins.
Also, challenge Evan and I to a game of paintball and you will regret ever trying.

Tech Companies Looking Into Sarcasm Detection
Soulskill posted about a year ago | from the meta-comment-challenge:-complete-sincerity dept.167
Nerval's Lobster writes "Now here's the greatest thing ever: French tech firm Spotter has apparently devised an analytics platform capable of identifying sarcastic comments, according to the BBC. Spotter's platform scans social media and other sources to create reputation reports for clients such as the EU Commission and Air France. As with most analytics packages that determine popular sentiment, the software parses semantics, heuristics and linguistics. However, automated data-analytics systems often have a difficult time with some of the more nuanced elements of human speech, such as sarcasm and irony — an issue that Spotter has apparently overcome to some degree, although company executives admit that their solution isn't perfect. (Duh.) Spotter isn't alone: IBM, Salesforce, and other IT vendors are hard at work on analytics software that can more perfectly determine when you're mouthing off, you little punks. In theory, sarcasm detection can help with customer service, and judging how well products are doing on the open market... and we all know it's going to work perfectly, right? Nothing could possibly go wrong with automated platforms built to assess the nuances of human speech."

The Tacky, Terrible and Tragic — Wave 1 of Flint's Worst Tattoo Entries [PHOTOS]
The submissions for Flint's Worst Tattoo are rolling in! Check out some of the horrible hackjobs we've seen so far here.
The submissions for Flint's Worst Tattoo are rolling in! Check out some of the horrible hackjobs we've seen so far here.
Submit a picture of your terrible tattoo and if the people of Flint declare it the worst in town you'll score $1000 worth of tattoo removal, $200 in new ink and a PlayStation 4!
A tattoo artist has found himself in the doghouse among some animal rights activists.
In the history of Loudwire, one of our most popular features has been the 'Worst Rock Tattoos.' An insane amount of people have visited us to gawk at awful ink jobs and cackle at dozens of unfortunate souls, so we've compiled the 30 Worst Rock Tattoos of All Time into a new video slideshow!
Flint tattoo artist Kyle Dunbar may not have won the title of "Ink Master" at the end of season 3, but he did win the chance to return and compete in season 4 during the live finale of the Spike TV reality competition.
It's no secret that Flint loves tattoos and almost everyone you meet has one. However, there are quite a few bad ones that need a little love. There are plenty of great artists around town.
Ok, so, I have a grip of tat's but this is even one that I don't know if i'd do. I mean for me it would be the world famous Banana 101.5 logo that I'd be getting tatted on me, not really a bad position to be in. But for those of you that don't work for Banana what would it take. How does a 15% raise sound?
Ya know how people say, don't get a tattoo because you'll regret it? Well, this is truly one of those cases. This chick was actually cute prior to having her boyfriend's name carved into her face after only knowing him for one week.
Sometimes in this life, we are branded by our own indiscretions, which often serve as a cautionary tale for those members of civil society that have not yet crossed over into the wicked world of retail sex, drugs and bad tattoos.
Maggie and Chris had a chance to broadcast live from the Electric Chair 20th Anniversary Freakshow and had a blast. Check out the craziness after the jump!
It's been 20 years and Electric Chair Tattoo is still going strong tattooing the masses in Flint, Bay City and Clio. Join Maggie this Saturday and celebrate with Electric Chair at the 20th Anniversary Freakshow. It all starts at 2pm at Clio Fireman's Park on Wilson Road in Clio. See what to expect after the jump.
Congrats once again to Katie in Linden for winning the "Knot Your Best Tattoo" contest, courtesy of Strange Daze Tattoo in Davison and the Banana. Next month she will be on her way to Knot Fest in Iowa to see Slipknot, Deftones, Lamb of God, Serj Tankian and more. She also stopped by to see the lovely Lisa Strange at Strange Daze in Davison for her cover-up. Check out the results after the jump!

Deepak Mehrotra, chief executive officer, Micromax, said to The Mobile Indian, "Micromax will be launching around 30 devices this year out of which four 7 inch tablets based on Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean operating system will be launched in three weeks' time."
He added, "The tablets will be a mix of SIM+WiFi and WiFi only models, and will be priced below Rs 15,000."
Deepak also said that the 7 inch tablets are most popular among consumers, and that's the reason why Micromax in not launching tablets in any other size.
The four tablets are expected to have dual core processors and will come pre loaded with educational content.
