An elevated park in the sky built on top of the skeleton of an old rail system? It may have sounded impossible only five years ago, but today, the eagerly awaited High Line elevated urban park officially opens for thousands of New Yorkers looking to escape the hubbub of the city below!
Here at Inhabitat, we have been following the journey of the High Line for the past several years and were super excited to get a sneak peek yesterday of the new park, which was renovated / designed by James Corner Field Operations, Lead Designer, with starchitects Diller Scofidio + Renfro. We were thrilled to get a chance to scope out the High Line yesterday as we've been waiting for this for ages!), so check out our pics below!
The High Line was originally constructed in Manhattan's Meatpacking District in the 1930s to lift dangerous freight trains off of city streets. Abandoned in the 1980's the High Line went into decay and disrepair and was rediscovered in popular consciousness in 2000, after acclaimed photographer Joel Sternfeld captured the beauty of the industrial relic in photos: overgrown with wildflowers — an abandoned human structure essentially reclaimed by nature in a matter of 20 years.
The City of New York was originally planning to tear down the High Line, but a group formed, called 'Friends of the High Line', to protect, preserve, and renovate the High Line. This eventually lead to a design competition, and the commissioning of landscape architects James Corner Field Operations and architects Diller Scodifio + Renfro to rehabilitate this abandoned space into a lush, green, elevated paradise for Manhattanites.

Renovations spanned a time frame of several years (with another section yet to be complete until 2010), but visitors to the park yesterday all seemed to agree that it was well worth the wait.
So what was our verdict? Well, while we view slick renderings of concepts for urban green spaces almost everyday, it is an entirely different thing to actually step into a completed project and see it with our own eyes. We weren't sure if it was going to be possible for a starchitect-designed renovation to maintain the simple, stark beauty of the original, overgrown High Line – the one that had captured the imagination of so many Manhattanites in 2000. But we were impressed and pleasantly surprised!
The feeling at the High Line today was one of excitement, optimism and pride that our city was able to take something that was just a gleam in our eyes a few years ago and turn it into something that we, and hopefully generations to come, can enjoy. For New Yorkers like myself, who are just witnessing the beginnings of an urban space revolution, the High Line is a tangible manifestation of what the future could look like.
That being said, you're probably wondering what it looked like. The most prominent features of the long and winding park are the preserved rail tracks that poke out through the porous layer of concrete that has been cut away in strips here and there emphasizing a linear aesthetic. Lush shrubbery, reedy grasses and watercolor-hued flowers surround the rust-red tracks in a way that seems deliberate yet natural. Farther down along the meandering pathway, sunbathers relaxed on blocky wooden chaise lounges, some of which have casters that look like they can roll right along the tracks (although they can't, we tried). Vistas that were unseen to most New Yorkers, like a view of the clubs in the Meatpacking district from above and peeks into the posh lofts that are at the same level as the High Line were visible, for the very first time, from here.
Inhabitat editors Jill Fehrenbacher and Olivia Chen were able to speak with several of the key players in the project, including James Corner (Design Lead, the landscape architect) and Ricardo Scofidio (the architect) and we will be bringing you these interviews shortly. Stay tuned for our upcoming video and interviews!
Finally, congratulations to this lovely couple who celebrated their wedding day at the opening day of the High Line. What a beautiful and symbolic way to commemorate their special day!

This is not a new idea – Paris, France as put together such a park on abandoned rail lines over a decade ago (which is when I lived there – not sure how long it was there before me). A great way to re-use the space!
In Paris, the raised park has lighting, and the space below is populated with shops and restaurants.
Recycle and re-use!

Great article. There is a nice video of the Highline Park by an NYU film student (and my son) available at http://austindill.net for those who want to feel themselves moving through these pictures on an equally bright, breezy day.

I just came back from NY and although I had researched this project a while back I didn't know I was about to accidentally walk right into this urban oasis just a couple days after its opening.
I'm an architect born and raised in a major metropolis (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and I have always been devastated by the horrendous urban footprint created by suspended freeways in the city below.
But after experiencing the high line park in NY, my heart has been filled with joy and HOPE once again! The space that opens more space, a different elevation, a different perspective; new corners and surprises are revealed, the city that will morph and grow around this park is absolutely fantastic.
May this be an example of future urban intervention. Keep what is, transform what was and let the living city around tell you what it will be.

I've got some more pictures of The High Line Park at my flickr.
Very nice project!

I love this! Maybe there's hope for humanity's junk pile, yet.

Offering praise for the effort to reclaim this urban oasis. Some observations: i almost prefer the way it looked in 2000, less manicured and designed (but accessing the space was probably more dangerous), there seems to be no lighting, calling into question the safety of this place after dark, and its not wide enough to play frizbee or play catch (just for jogging/strolling). Otherwise, a nice place to get above it all.

This module is a loadbalancer which uses an internal consistent hash ring to select the right backend node. It is designed to be compatible with the "consistent" hash_strategy of the php-memcache module. This means you can store values into a memcached cluster, using the php-memcache module, and later the nginx can find that value in the cluster to read it from there.
"syntax:" "consistent_hash <string to hash>"
"default:" "none"
"context:" "upstream"
This parameter has to be inside the upstream definition. It turns on the consistent hash upstream module, and also defines the string which has to be hashed to find the right backend on the hash ring. As an example, you could do this:
upstream somestream { consistent_hash $request_uri; server 10.50.1.3:11211; server 10.50.1.4:11211; server 10.50.1.5:11211; } ... server { listen 80; server_name localhost; location / { default_type text/html; set $memcached_key $request_uri; memcached_pass somestream; error_page 500 404 405 = @fallback; } location @fallback { root /srv/www/whatever; fastcgi_intercept_errors on; error_page 404 = @404; set $script $uri; set $path_info ""; include /usr/local/nginx/conf/fastcgi_params; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME /srv/www/whatever/test.php; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $script; fastcgi_param REQUEST_URI $uri; fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; } }
This example uses three backend servers. On initialization the nginx will create a hashring which contains each server (160 * weight) times in the same way as the php-memcache module with hash_strategy consistent does. Based on a hash of $request_uri it will decide which backend server has to be used. Now the test.php script from the above example could look like following:
$memcache = new Memcache; $memcache->addServer('10.50.1.3', 11211); $memcache->addServer('10.50.1.4', 11211); $memcache->addServer('10.50.1.4', 11211); $memcache->set($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"], $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] . " from memcache");
Important to know
- I tested with the php memcache module version 1.2.8. It seems that the module in this version has a bug which causes it to completely ignore the weight if hash_strategy is set to consistent_hash. The nginx consistent hash upstream knows the weight parameter, but if you use it together with memcache module 1.2.8 you shouldn`t touch the weight for any backend server.
- I tested the module with nginx 0.7.61 and 0.6.34, no guarantee for other versions
In case you find any bugs, please write me a mail and I will try to help.
If you are using that module, i would appreciate every kind of feedback or problem reports.
Mail: mauro.stettler(A.T)gmail.com
On github i have to branches "master" and "dns". The reason for this is that if you want to use dns entries on the php side, instead of ips, you will need to apply a patch to the nginx to make this work. So if your PHP does not use DNS names to connect to memcache, its nicer to download the "master" branch, because this is a clean module. If your PHP uses DNS names, you have to download the "dns" branch, which includes a patch for the nginx.

DuVal High School football coach Dameon Powell envisioned his young team defeating the defending Class 4A state champions when not many others did. Friday afternoon he turned a dream into reality.
DuVal defeated Henry A. Wise 14-13, dealing the defending champs their first loss since the 2011 playoffs. The DuVal victory ended Wise's 15-game winning streak.
"I'm proud man," Powell said following the win. "Like I told them all week, 'this is our game to take.' No pressure — nobody believed we could win but us."
The Tigers fell behind early after looking rattled to start the game. Senior tailback Terrance Davenport fumbled on his own 9-yard line on his second carry of the contest. The turnover seemed costly, with Pumas' quarterback Isaiah Black connecting with senior wide out Anfernee Perry on an 11-yard touchdown just four plays later.
Wise held onto its lead as both teams struggled to move the ball. Short runs by Tigers' sophomore quarterback Antoine Brooks and Davenport plus an incompletion led to a three-and-out on DuVal's ensuing drive. The Pumas' attempt to extend its lead failed in similar fashion.
Midway through the second quarter, Davenport silenced the home crowd. On third down and six from his own 36-yard line, Brooks faked a screen to the right and rolled to the left. He found his running back waiting for the ball 5 yards ahead of him and watched Davenport weave through the entire Wise defense for a 64-yard score to tie the game.
"Antoine, he's a phenomenal player … and [Terrance] did a heck of a job," Powell said of his one-two punch. "These two guys made some good plays today."
Hampered by penalties throughout much of the third quarter, neither team managed to find the goal line. Two minutes into the fourth DuVal took advantage of face mask and roughing the kicker penalties, allowing its first drive of the quarter to remain alive.
With 9:54 left in the game, Brooks found senior wide receiver Jamal Woodland in the back-right corner of the end zone for a 22-yard go-ahead strike.
"We allowed them to keep drives alive," Wise coach DaLawn Parrish said. "When we stopped them — personal fouls — and holding to stop our drives."
The touchdown pass gave Brooks his second of the game and his third of the year.
"We came out, practiced — practiced hard too — and we did what we had to do on the field," Brooks said.
The call of the game did not come from a penalty, yet from a decision to attempt a two-point conversion after Pumas' tailback Adam Gillis Jr. scored from 4 yards out.
Parrish decided to go for the win trailing 14-13 after Gillis scored. He gave the ball back to Gillis, who was swarmed by Tiger defenders before crossing the goal line.
"I wasn't in a sense," Powell said when asked if he was surprised the Pumas tried for two instead of tying the game. "They had us. Our guys were tired. They pushed us around a little bit and they had the momentum. … Our guys played hard as heck and came out with the 'W.'"

An Inter-Congress of the World Archaeological Congress
Forum UNESCO - University and Heritage is a worldwide network of universities created in 1995 by the Culture Sector of UNESCO. It is currently managed by the Polytechnic University of Valencia (UPV), Spain, jointly with the World Heritage Centre of UNESCO.The Forum UNESCO network aims to share the experience and expertise of its members and to contribute to the advancement of knowledge in the field of heritage in a spirit of solidarity and inter-cultural dialogue.The network also aims to link together over 400 universities and their staff and students with researchers and heritage professionals in the multiple cross-cutting disciplines related to cultural and natural heritage.Forum UNESCO comprises a number of joint activities such as team research projects, regional and national workshops, international seminars and conferences, students associations and youth fieldwork (summer universities and/or conservation field projects), publications, etc.The Forum UNESCO University and Heritage 10th International conference was hosted by the International Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies (ICCHS) at Newcastle University, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, between 11th and 16th April 2005.Forum UNESCO and Newcastle University are particularly pleased that this 10th conference was designated an Inter-Congress of the World Archaeological Congress (WAC). The Seminar was also supported by the City of Newcastle, the Council for British Archaeology, and the UK branch of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS UK).
Cultural Landscapes in the 21 st Century
Cultural Landscapes, Laws, Management, and Public Participation: heritage as a challenge of citizenship
Monday 11th to Saturday 16th April 2005
Humans have always interacted with their environment and helped to create and modify the landscapes in which they live. The last decade or so has seen not only a significant increase in the scope and in some instances, speed of such developments, but also of our appreciation and understand of these changes. These range from the suggested impact of global warming, through localised changes in agricultural practice and a variety of forms of economic exploitation, fronted perhaps by developments in tourism, to developments in how landscapes are viewed and studied academically. These, and many other developments, have led to the increased management of landscapes and to more extensive formal protection within national and regional laws. Some argue this has been at the expense of local community interaction with, and control over, their own local environments. This conference looked at landscapes in all of their possible manifestations, through a wide variety of academic disciplines and through the voices of some of those who live and interact with landscapes. It investigated the supposed division between cultural and natural landscapes and questioned the value of this division. The conference was arranged around seven major themes (see below).The conference proceedings (abstracts and papers) have been published electronically online at: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/unescolandscapes/english/
Thematic areas
1. Cultural Landscapes, Museums and Heritage (Tangible and Intangible)
2. Cultural Landscapes and Visual Culture
3. Cultural Landscapes, Identities, and Communities
4. Cultural Landscapes, Tourism, and Economics
5. Cultural Landscapes and Architecture
6. Cultural Landscapes and Education
7. Cultural Landscapes, Management and Protection

Milwaukee Red Cross prepared for evacuees if NATO summit disaster happens
MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee Red Cross is preparing in case people from Chicago need to evacuate the city during the NATO Summit.
Spokeswoman Barbara Behling told Newsradio 620 WTMJ's Jay Sorgi that if an incident happens during the NATO summit that leads to an evacuation of at least part of the city of Chicago, Milwaukee's Red Cross will be ready with beds, food and doctors ready for evacuees.
"It's like any situation where there would be an evacuation," said Behling.
She says they prepare often to take people in from the Chicago area if a disaster happens there.
"If a tornado would hit Chicago, we're an evacuation area. If there would be a large scale power outage, we're an evacuation area. This isn't anything out of the normal for us."
Behling also told me they put the same plans in whenever there's a big event.
"Anytime there are large gatherings of people, Presidential inaugurations, the Super Bowl, the Chicago Marathon, the American Red Cross is asked to have a contingency plan in case there would be an evacuation."
The NATO summit happens next month.

22% Average woman's risk
40% Risk if one parent had it
Though a recent study hinted at a genetic marker, there's no concrete test that reveals whether your family health history dictates that you'll get hit with the blues.
Reduce Your Risk
Swig some joe. Women who sipped two cups of coffee a day had a 15 percent lower risk for depression, according to a 2011 study. The key may lie in the caffeine, which could accelerate the release of mood-elevating hormones.
Eat Greek. Sticking to a Mediterranean diet--think salmon, sardines, olive oil, avocados--can lower depression risk by more than 30 percent. Such food is chock-full of omega-3 fatty acids that can help stabilize your mood, says Orlando-based psychologist Alan D. Keck, Psy.D. (Read more about diet and disease risks.)
Break a sweat. Working out can strengthen your mental health. A study in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found that regular exercise can reduce depression by a whopping 47 percent. Shoot for 30 minutes of jogging five times a week.
The average woman's risk varies. But those whose parents had early heart disease are more than twice as likely to also suffer cardiacwoes.
Scientists are currently working on identifying specific gene markers for heart disease, and some DNA tests are now on the market. But there isn't enough evidence yet to show those tests are reliable.
Reduce Your Risk
Leave work on time. Heart disease risk is a shocking 67 percent higher among people who work 11 or more hours a day, according to a 2011 study. Logging excessive hours at the office could heighten stress, deprive you of exercise time, and increase the likelihood of unhealthy eating, which can take a toll on your ticker.
Smile (and mean it!). Research from 2010 shows that moderate optimists have a lower heart disease risk than glass-half-empty folks, says Karina Davidson, Ph.D., director of the Center for Behavioral Cardiovascular Health at Columbia University Medical Center. Scientists are still figuring out why, but they do know that laughter can reduce levels of stress hormones.
Pump up the jams. Listening to music can increase your blood flow and relax your cardiovascular system, thereby protecting your heart health, says Michael Miller, M.D., director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Any type of tunes will do; aim for 30 minutes of uninterrupted music a day.

Ana saw off world No.199 Coco Vandeweghe in the second round of the Southern Californian Open in Carlsbad, emerging victorious 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 after 99 minutes of play.
There was very little to separate the pair early on. To her credit, it was Vandeweghe who appeared the more aggressive player, dominating the rallies with her flat groundstrokes and big serving.
After trading breaks in games six and seven, the American appeared to score a pivotal breakthrough in the ninth game. She broke Ana for a second time in the set, as the seventh seed served a double fault at the worst possible moment while facing a break point. Nevertheless, the 25-year-old showed great fighting spirit and she managed to enforce a tiebreak, re-breaking her opponent while standing with her back against the wall.
With a 2-5 deficit in the tiebreak, things still didn't seem very rosy for Ana. However, she turned the tides with some flashy winners and she won five straight points to wrap up the opening set. It proved to be a key moment in the match, as Ana would describe in her on-court interview afterwards.
Indeed after dropping the tiebreak, Vandeweghe was just a shadow of the player she had been during the opening set. It was all too much to handle for the 21-year-old American, as she began making many mistakes as frustration got the better of her. In the meanwhile, Ana displayed greater consistency and raced into a 4-0 lead.
Vandeweghe got three more games on the scoreboard before the seventh seed clinched victory with a classy return winner.
"I'm very happy I won," said Ana afterwards. "It was a very tough match. She came up with some huge serves that were very hard to pick. I'm very happy I was able to turn it around."
On Friday Ana faces an encounter with Italian fourth seed Roberta Vinci, against whom she has a 5-3 head-to-head advantage.
The match is scheduled to take place at 1pm local time (10pm Central European Time; 4pm Eastern Time). Click here for live point-by-point scoring from La Costa Resort & Spa.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Bookkeeper Just the right size I love it! I had a 30 inch opening never thought I could fit such a beautiful French Door Stainless in. I will purchase other LG products as a result. April 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nick64 Little Brother packs a Big Punch Height was limited to under 68" where the refrigerator was to be installed. This also limited our selection. We researched the models that would fit and decided to go with LG brand. Our preferred style was the French door with bottom freezer. At first I was a little concerned about the overall capacity of the refrigerator that it might not be big enough for our needs. But after we went to the grocery store and filled our new LG up I was amazed to see I still had some room to spare. We have a family of 4. The layout of the refrigerator was perfect for us. We did not need to make any shelf adjustments. The door bins are adjustable and will hold up to gallon size bottles. The pantry drawer is ideal for cold cuts and cheeses. It's been about four months and the refrigerator is working great. It's quiet and keeps our food fresh. I keep the temperature at the recommended settings. I also like the Ice Plus feature. It kicks the freezer into high gear when you need ice in a hurry. Then it shuts off automatically in 24 hours. Anyone limited to size and space should consider this model. April 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MJ great comments, very easy to see all food,lighting This refrigerator is wonderful. We had a similar size but freezer up top. My husband had trouble finding things in the old style, he is 6ft. tall and bending over so low to get food out was hard on him. He thoroughly enjoys the new style, and I do as well the lighting is great! The doors hold a lot of items and the cold cut drawer has room for yogurt containers as well.Easy to clean ,we got the stainless,it is beautiful and cleans very well.We like the alarm that goes off sometimes when we close the door the insulin boxes get stuck so having the beep helps us to take a second look. We would recommend this model to anyone. Thank you for the design, very happy with our purchase. February 19, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by grumpy excellent product Refrigerator is everything that we wanted. It is quiet when operating and when opened it is well lighted and the fridge has everything at eye level. Ample space for storage, with shelves that adjust to your needs. The bottom freezer is well designed with a sliding drawer and also has plenty of space for storage. The temperature is very well controlled. We are very pleased that we selected this refrigerator. February 1, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dick79 This product has great features We were looking for a double door refrigerator with a bottom drawer freezer. We were also limited in height and width. This model fit all three qualifications and allowed us to purchase it. We had investigated other brands but none were able to meet our qualifications. Since installing it, the performance has met all of our expectations. The ease of utilizing the unit is great. Also the quietness of the unit is most appreciated as it is located in a great room. We would have no problem recommending this refrigerator. December 13, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Martine Best refrigerator I've ever owned! I love everything about this appliance. I was tired of digging into the top freezer every time I needed something and decided it was time to get a refrigerator with the freezer on the bottom. Not only did I get a freezer with easy access and more capacity, I also got tons of space with adjustable shelves and drawers. It is quiet and it looks great. January 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Barklee This product has a lot of room inside. We replaced an older top of the line refrigerator with this SS LG and although it looked great on the show room floor we were afraid it would not be large enough for our needs. It is very well laid out and has much more inside space than we thought at first glance. It fits nicely into our counter line with the rest of our SS appliances. We chose not to have an in the door ice/water dispenser and instead we opted for the additional inside door space. We still have an automatic ice dispenser in the bottom freezer but it requires us to open the freezer drawer to get ice. Something we have done for 49 years so it is not an inconvenience. We have slowly changed all our appliances over to LG and feel it was a good decision. January 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Connie Just what I had been searching for. I've had my refrigerator for a couple of months and love it. I did a lot of research because this product was replacing a different manufacturers refrigerator that was only 3 years old and was highly disappointing. Comparisons both on line and in store proved rewarding when I found this LG product that has the features I wanted and didn't include those I had no use for. It performs wonderfully. Very happy that LG understands what consumers want, and are looking for, in major appliance purchases. January 7, 2014

From Intelligent Design to BioLogos
In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.

In this paper, Venema tells the story of his transition from support of Intelligent Design to the view that God uses evolution as a creative mechanism.
Many barriers to the acceptance of the BioLogos model by evangelical Christians arise from popular misconceptions about the nature of science and its relationship to God's action in our world.
Science and Religion scholar Denis Alexander presents two models for relating Adam and Eve with the findings of contemporary anthropology. This essay was presented at the November 2010 Theology of Celebration Workshop
Can science provide substantive insight into the question of God's existence? Isaac's paper examines three schools of thought regarding the possibility of detecting God's existence through science: Evolutionism, Creationism, and Intelligent Design.
Geologists Davidson and Wolgemuth address the widely promulgated notion that the Flood can account for the earth's complex geology, and that all genuine Christians should accept this viewpoint.
Falk's paper asks evangelical Christians to explore whether they are propping up a bubble that they, not God, have created, thereby isolating themselves from the world of academics. The essay describes five layers that may play a role in unnecessarily blocking entry, or reentry, of agnostic scientists into the realm of evangelicalism.
Mark Noll, historian and author of The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, enumerates 15 attitudes, assumptions, and convictions he considers to be most influential in inciting anti-intellectual sentiment among evangelical Christians.
Renowned Old Testament scholar Bruce Waltke considers eleven barriers that prevent evangelical theologians from accepting evolution as a possible means of creation and what these barriers tell us about the tensions perceived by many Evangelicals between science and faith. Waltke's work was based on a survey sent to members of the Fellowship of Evangelical Seminary Presidents and their faculty.
Many evangelicals believe that Young Earth Creationism is the only authentic, biblical way for Christians to understand origins, and that until the advent of Darwin's theory of evolution, it was the only view held by Christians. However, in this excerpt from Saving Darwin, Karl Giberson explains that Young Earth Creationism's origins are surprisingly recent.

Edit // Okay, yeah, I read the whole thread and my suggestion to see a Naturopath still stands. And as for the Omega-3, as Lamarr said, it supposedly acts like Accutane in some ways. So basically, your body doesn't need it because it has already had enough! I've also read that Omega-3 holds Accutane in your body even longer. It has been quite awhile since you've stopped Accutane, so I wouldn't worry about that last part, but your body is obviously still out of whack from it. Take an Omega-6 (like Borage Oil, or Primrose Evening Oil might be better) instead.

ETSU extends winning streak after downing Florida Gulf Coast on Senior Day
Related Links
Saturday, October 30, 2010
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 30, 2010) - Senior middle blocker Alysa Long (Romulus, Mich.) recorded 13 kills on .478 hitting and five blocks to lead the ETSU volleyball team past Florida Gulf Coast 3-0 (25-15, 25-21, 27-25) on Senior Day, Saturday afternoon at Brooks Gym.
The Bucs extended their winning streak to eight straight with the victory and improved their record to 23-6 (6-1 A-Sun), while FGCU falls to 5-16 (2-5 A-Sun). ETSU remains tied for second in the A-Sun with Kennesaw State.
ETSU out-blocked FGCU 14.0 to 7.0 on the afternoon and are now a perfect 11-0 this season when recording 10 or more blocks.
Long recorded her second straight double-digit kill match and she continues to lead the A-Sun in blocks. Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Lauren Baufield (Plymouth, Minn.) each recorded eight kills on the afternoon. Baufield also added 10 digs and six blocks. Erin Ryan (Davie, Fla.) had six kills and eight digs, while Jamie Stancliff (Advance, N.C.) had five kills, seven blocks, and three digs.
Whitney Cogburn (Kingsport, Tenn.) dished out 39 assists, while also adding three kills, six digs, and six blocks. Kiley Tamblyn (Torrance, Calif.) finished with a game-high 12 digs, while also recording two service aces.
With the emotions running high on Senior Day, the Bucs jumped out to a quick 7-4 advantage. ETSU quickly extended the lead following back to back kills by Stancliff and Baufield. Then, with ETSU up 9-5, senior Dani Howe (Hermitage, Tenn.) recorded a service ace that forced a quick Florida Gulf Coast timeout. Howe continued serving following the break and recorded a second ace to put the Bucs up 12-5. ETSU maintained the lead throughout the rest of the set for the 25-15 victory. Baufield led the way for the Bucs in the set with five kills for a .571 attack percentage. ETSU hit .333 in the set, while limiting FGCU to just a .094 attack efficiency.
In the second set, both teams battled back and forth until a Stancliff kill put ETSU in front 5-4. The Bucs maintained the lead until FGCU tied the score at 12 following an ETSU attack error. Then, with the score tied, Long recorded a kill to put the Bucs back in front for good as they extended the lead and took the set 25-21.
Florida Gulf Coast jumped out to a quick 6-2 advantage in the third set following a Emma Racila kill. The Eagles maintained their lead until a Ryan kill tied the match at 10, but FGCU extended the lead back out to three at 15-12. Then, with FGCU in front 18-15, ETSU quickly answered with back to back kills from Baufield and Long, which forced an Eagles timeout. FGCU continued to stay in front and reached set point at 24-22 following a Chelsea Lyles kill. However, ETSU got back to back blocks from Baufield and Stancliff to tie the match at 24. FGCU reached set point again after another Lyles kill, but a ball handling error evened the match back up. With the score knotted at 25, the Bucs got back to back blocks from Long and Baufield to clinch the set and match. ETSU recorded 8.0 blocks during the set to help clinch the victory.
ETSU returns to action next weekend as they travel to Georgia for matches against Kennesaw State and Mercer. The Bucs take on Kennesaw State on Friday at 7 p.m., before closing out the weekend against Mercer on Saturday at 3 p.m.

What are some of the key differences in cultures of success and cultures of failure?
Has anyone studied this phenomenon? Is there a Talk on this and I just missed it.
What is the difference in the company culture at Apple compared to Compaq? Facebook vs. MySpace. The Bengals football organization vs. The Patriots. Schools who consistently have graduation rates of 98% vs. those who schools who have < 50% of their students?
It just seems that those organizations who "win" keep winning and those who "lose" keep loosing so why is that? Any ideas?
May 16 2013: In my opinion successfull cultures are the ones not leaving anyone behind. Solidarity and mutual support are the best ways to grant the personal growth and the success of the single componets of that culture and, by consequence, of the culture itself.May 16 2013: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wn08aqnYoVc
Start off with these but also a valuable free training course online is this one:

May 15 2013: Equality and positive mental health stimulusMay 15 2013: I believe that the major difference is mindset but as Edward Long mentioned, depends how you define success? Success to one person may be about waking up in the morning and knowing that they are breathing and their hearts are beating but another person may see success as making a $1,000,000. I have recently been listening a lot of biographies, talks and interviews with people such as Mark Zuckerberg, Sir Richard Branson, Warren Buffet, Google's biography and one thing that seems common throughout is the extraordinary mindsets that these people and organisations have. The self belief, creativity, courage, contribution, commitment that seems a common theme throghout these people seems to be the foundation to all success (depending on your definition of this). I believe that all success begins from the inside out and I can happily provide the links etc. to these talks if you like Jon?

May 15 2013: Thank you for the academic guidance.
edward long
May 15 2013: If we define success in business as meeting the stated goals then the difference between winners and losers is leadership. If we don't know where we are trying to go how will we know if we get there? Winning leaders know where they are and where they want to be. Employees of winning companies know where they are going. Winners are always focused on stated goals. Losers are adrift.

May 15 2013: I think this must be true.May 15 2013: Only successes can make one complacent .....that may shut the door of continuous learning
One can learn more from failures if curious enough to succeed....that's a major difference between two, I feel.
adesh saxena
May 15 2013: Every successful individual or a company has a simple and sound philosophy to which they always adhere.
- +1
People and companies fail when they are not clear in their heads and their mind are cluttered.May 15 2013: When the goals are clear, and every member of the organisation feels that it is his responsibility to do his part well... an organisation becomes successful.
However strong the promoters of the company maybe, the success or failure of the company lies in the hands of the employees... staff who work just for salary cannot make a company grow. Staff who works with dedication when complemented by equally good senior management brings success to the organisation.... and then as it is said a bad apple in the basket can spoil everything..... so it happens with organisations also!!!!
Other than the human resource angle.....success comes when all the resources are working in tandem at the right time.... Microsoft or facebook or apple or any other success stories would not happened if the timing was not correct or if they could not have managed the required resources... In a classroom of 20 students ...the teachers are same, the college is same, education system is same and yet some student perform much better than the others and yet when it comes to careers or earnings...some of them may fall much below the academic underdogs!!!!!! What do you say???
pat gilbert
May 15 2013: I would say that it is organization. The most important part of organization imo is training.
- +1
In other words a division of labor and the competency (though training) of the people in the various areas of the organization. Another area is the direction of the company as indicated by the administrators. The company that does this more than others is Toyota.
There are a couple of talks about this on a national level, but that does not seem to be what you are asking?
May 15 2013: I think this is a component of what I was getting at. Do you remember the names of the talks?
May 15 2013: http://www.ted.com/talks/yasheng_huang.html
http://www.ted.com/talks/niall_ferguson_the_6_killer_apps_of_prosperity.htmlMay 19 2013: You will find that eventually in every human endeavor attitudes and patterns of behavior become entrenched. Within commerce, the reason for this is usually personal survival. Senior managers at some stage lose their ability to innovate, but they often do not lose their power within the organization. If anything, their power grows with tenure and so they spend their time devising ways to destroy anyone who might challenge their authority. This destructive behavior is usually dressed up as removing unacceptable business risk e.g. "that's not how we do things around here". Corporations such as Compaq survive because of the patents, property and contracts which they acquired during their growth stage. Often it is government agencies which help these corporations survive because they have lots of shared values e.g. don't take risks.May 18 2013: Cultures of failure accept failure and look to blame and scapegoat persons as at fault. It's not wise to use sports as any real indicator--a football is shaped so that it bounces tricky and sometimes you get the bounces and other times the other guys do. And Compaq is an orange to Apple. Let's just take cultures in education, in government, in militaries where authority models are in place but there is no expectation that the model will some day come under question and thus no provision exists for self reform. Businesses draw personnel from these other institutions and can therefore become extension of cultures that play the old game of hierarchical authority where failure is always treated the same way--the blame and ouster of the scapegoat or legitimate underachiever. Schools blame children, they blame parents, they blame curricula, they blame teachers, they blame principals, they blame technology, they blame media. But the one thing they always do is write off some segment of the people who pass through as having failed. They don't ever say school is a faulty compromise and authoritarianism is not good enough--it fails to address motivation accept by threat of consequence, neglects social development entirely, treats kids as if they are capable of synchronous knowledge transfer when they are not. Etc etc. The military had long followed the same model and people died because orders weren't followed. But the military is implementing a "no miss" model that will eventually be in all institutions. In some quarters it has stopped the blame game and implemented a "knowledge transaction" modality. Though they still carry on the tradition of rank, orders are not expected to simply to be followed because threat of consequence is not enough to ensure ideal outcome. Orders that are not under battle pressure are "transacted" where a person is open about not understanding rather than pretending to understand. This must move into school, business and government.May 18 2013: cultures of success and cultures of failure?I think if we just judge success and failure with what we see or what think now it is always limited.But at least judge'cultures of success and cultures of failure' should from the whole society developing,the humanbeing developing direction to think of that,it also needs time to prove...May 16 2013: well preparation is important. For example, if you're going to have a meeting, you should try to anticipate the questions that will arise and prepare for them ahead.May 15 2013: Well, thank you all for the enlightened responses. I suppose I was presupposing too much. Success for an individual should be individually defined, but I suppose I was talking about organizational success. By organizational I mean where people have to work together to achieve a common goal. By definition success then is defined as meeting the stated objective. I know that failures can lead to success, but it seems that in some organizations the very idea of meeting the stated goals is a forgone conclusion. Failure and learning from it is accepted and in some cases encouraged, but the end result will be that the goals are met. On the other hand, in some organizations meeting the goal is not a presupposition at all. In fact it is presupposed that they will not meet the objective.
Has anyone heard any TED talks about this general idea of acceptance of failure and expected success and the causes of each organizational mind set?
May 16 2013: Here are the talks related to failure: http://www.ted.com/talks/tags/failure
But here is JKRowling on failure, which somehow did not get tagged that way: http://www.ted.com/talks/jk_rowling_the_fringe_benefits_of_failure.htmlMay 18 2013: The success of an organization is almost incidental to the success of the individuals who comprise that organization. If the individuals are well suited to their responsibilities and excited about the potential to have a positive impact, then the organization will be successful by default. Organizations exist to serve the needs of individuals, not the other way around. To much time is spent in trying to re-engineer individuals to fit a need rather than in finding and developing the right individual to fulfill that need.May 15 2013: It is hard to contemplate a culture of failure. I think would prefer to think of a competitive environment where there was a winner and a non-winner. To attach the stigma of loser or failure to a person, team or company seems like pointless ridicule.
In the case of an athletic competition that can have only one winner, then the mix of available talent, attitude, work ethic, practice, game strategy, and ability to execute all play into the likely outcome. However, so do luck, timing, external events, your opponents, and many other things. Competitions can teach you what does not work or illustrate ways to make yourself better. if you act on this new intelligence, perhaps you can change the outcome of the next competition. To participate in an athletic competition and not win is not a failure. In professional sports, there are other factors as well including the willingness to pay for the best talent. Team competitions also involve many people acting together and a management team making decisions as things change (player health, new intelligence about an opponent, team strategy changes, etc.). Perhaps the Bengals have not found the right combination to winning yet, but they are continuing to try and must be making enough money to stay solvent as a business.
In the case of businesses, I think understanding customers, willingness to accept risk, ability to evaluate risk, inovativeness, short term and long term goals,and strategy all come into play. However, motivating your people to make changes to their work habits that will enable the company to be more competitive is another key factor. How effective you are at doing these things and managing your people to get the most out of them is a continuous management challenge.
A lot depends on how you define success in business. If you do not number 1 this year, but have a 20% increase in profit, was the year a success? Is it biggest? Most stable? Best place to work? Success may be defined a number of ways.May 15 2013: We might like at success and failure in terms of product functions. What does it take to do one and not the other. probably the people don't vary as much as you wish to show.

Mission Type: Orbiter
Launch Vehicle: Atlas-Centaur (AC-5 / Atlas C no. 156D / Centaur C)
Launch Site: Cape Canaveral, United States, Launch Complex 36A

This mission was designed to rehearse a complete Centaur upper-stage burn in support of the Surveyor lunar lander program. On a nominal mission, the Centaur would boost its payload on a direct-ascent trajectory to the Moon.
On this test flight, SD-1, a nonfunctional dynamic model, would be boosted on a simulated lunar transfer trajectory to a hypothetical Moon with an orbit of 167 x 926,625 kilometers.
During the actual launch, less than 1 second after liftoff, a faulty valve caused both Atlas main engines to shut down. As a result, the booster fell back onto the pad and exploded.

Honestly, for $5 I wasn't expecting much but since it was going to be displayed in their portfolio I knew it would be better than anything I could do in Photoshop and I prefer to let non-colorblind people to do our images. Well for $5 I was extremely happy with the results. I plan on using them in the future for any other images I need designed for any projects I might have even when their special ends.

I am looking at getting a miller 375 plasma cutter. Is there any reason why the older versions have a compressor built in while the new ones don't? My guess would be that the compressor was of poor quality etc which is why they abandoned the idea?
Also how does the miller plasma cutter compare with a hypotherm etc? Are their plasma cutters as good as their welders?

MIller spectrum 375
If it was a 110 v machine the compressor used up extra amps in an already limited 15 amp circuit so your overall cut capacity was reduced.

Correct. The little 375 didnt have much cut power to begin with. Add in an on board compressor and the power it took to run the compressor took away more cut power from the already underpowered plasma cutter.
The miller plasma cutters will cut metal. However, they dont get the reviews or praise of Hypertherm, Thermal Dynamics or Esab plasma cutters in regards to cut performance, cut quality, consumable life and longevity.Lincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tig

After some research I recently picked up a thermal dynamics cutmaster 42. It offers dual voltage, decent power, affordable consumables, all for right around 1k. I couldn't justify the price increase for a hypertherm since I don't do fab work for my main income.
There are tons of threads that discuss plasma cutters, search and you will find tons of good info.
The Miller Spectrum 375 was never built with a built in compressor. Even the older Miller Spectrum 300 cutmate didn't have one. Plasma cutters with built in compressors normaly are low amperage machines used for cutting sheet metal. If you plan on cutting anything above 1\8 inch I would not reccomend getting one with a built in compressor.

carrots, shredded
apple - peeled, cored and shredded
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
2 tablespoons
1/4 cup
blanched slivered almonds
salt and pepper to taste
Loved the crunchiness and the toasted almonds. I also added dried cranberries and thought they were delicious. Really healthy eating really quickly!
This was OK. I added raisins which was good. Probably my biggest mistake was with the salt and pepper... I would just leave it out entirely. I may try it again but this time I'll probably add some ginger.

I needed an Apple Carrot Salad recipe for 400 kids. Not only was this recipe a snap to make, it multiplied well and was extremely healthy. I did omit the almonds (in case of nut allergies) and replaced them with raisins. I thought the salad was delicious, the kids though it was pretty good, for something healthy.
This is a delicious, sweet way to serve carrots. We loved this healthy recipe. I added a few raisins.
We thought the honey made this salad a little too sweet for our taste so we used the leftovers in place of shredded carrots in a carrot cake recipe and had the yummiest carrot cake ever.
This was so easy and very good. My husband loved it. It is such an original salad.
I Liked this - Shaun Age 11
This Carrot Salad is Wonderful. It is very Flavorful. I did add about a 1/2 cup raisins to this recipe. My Husband also thought it was great. Thanks for entering a such a good recipe.

Gallery: Modern Masi Prefab Home in Montauk Wins AIA Merit Award
Humbly, the residence does not seek out a green building certification, even though it could probably get one. Bates Masi, who has a knack for renovations and wooden exteriors, designed the home for his sister, Victoria Masi Pryor and her husband Gregory. They wanted the home to basically be like one giant screened in porch, hence the multitude of floor to ceiling glass doors. So when the weather is nice, the doors are open and tucked away and a breeze finds its way through the house. When conditions aren't warm or cool enough, the doors are closed and the geothermal heating and cooling system kicks in.
Daylight abounds throughout the house and bronze mesh is used extensively to provide shading. The exterior is clad in cedar and prefab concrete panels, while the interior walnut floors are finished with non-toxic vegetable oil. To protect the site during construction, much of the home was prefabricated in sections and then assembled on site. The exterior landscaping was finished with grasses, wildflowers and local rock.

My husband and I just bought some land so we can build a modernist prefab in Drytown California, and I am in love with this one. It checks all the boxes: green, stylish, modern, indoor/outdoor, heavy wood. I would love to know the cost per square foot and when they\'ll be available.
This prefab definitely tops our favorites on our inspiration blog, where we dream and record our building experience: http://www.urbanbunker.com

Let's face it – remembering to order your replacement refrigerator water filter every 3 – 6 months can be a lot to keep track of. After all, that's why we send our customers reminder emails.
But what if you didn't have to remember to order replacement refrigerator water filters at all? What if every 3 – 6 months, we just sent you a replacement, free of charge – for TEN YEARS?
The week of March 16th, one lucky winner will be awarded ten years of free refrigerator water filters from Tier1. If you haven't entered yet, you can do so right over here.
Imagine now, winning ten years of free refrigerator water filters. Just think of everything you could keep in your head instead. It may just be enough to help you win at Jeopardy!.
For instance:
You Would Remember That Bill Walton…was the Trailblazer that Kareem Abdul Jabbar dares a young passenger's 'old man' to drag up and down the court for 48 minutes in Airplane! Kareem Abdul Jabbar didn't even remember that – and it was his line!
You Would Remember That Roger Clemens…was the ex-Red Sox player, and all around questionable person, whose 354 career wins were still not enough to get him into the Hall of Fame.
You Would Remember That 45 Degrees…is equal to 1/8 of a circle, saving yourself much chiding from Alex Trebek.
You Would Remember So Much More Than Wolf Blitzer…who somehow managed negative $4,600 dollars – after just the first round of Celebrity Jeopardy!
You Would Remember That Archibauld Leach, Bernard Schwartz and Lucille LeSeuer…were the real names of Cary Grant, Tony Curtis and Joan Crawford, and not three people who have never been in your kitchen. You would also have five extra minutes to watch the full, classic clip below from Cheers where Cliff Clavin gives this unforgettable answer.

Introducing the Typesafe Reactive Platform
Typesafe is the proud provider of the world's leading Reactive application development platform. We are a passionate crew of technology pioneers committed to building amazing software. We build and maintain the Play web framework, the Akka message driven runtime, and the Scala programming language. Our mission is to help developers build high-performance applications that are responsive resilient, elastic and message driven.
Message Driven
New requirements demand new technologies
As described in the Reactive Manifesto, Reactive development is fueling the new wave of applications. Only a few years ago a large application had tens of servers, seconds of response time, hours of offline maintenance and gigabytes of data. Today applications are deployed on everything from mobile devices to cloud-based clusters running thousands of multicore processors. Users expect millisecond or even microsecond response times and 100% uptime. Data needs are expanding into the petabytes.
New requirements demand new technologies. Previous solutions have emphasized managed servers and containers. Scaling was achieved through buying larger servers and concurrent processing via multi-threading. Additional servers were added through complex, inefficient and expensive proprietary solutions.
But now a new architecture has evolved to let developers conceptualize and build applications that satisfy today's demands. We call these Reactive applications. This architecture allows developers to build systems that deliver highly responsive user experiences with a real-time feel, backed by a elastic and resilient application stack. These systems can then be deployed on multicore and cloud computing architectures.
Why Typesafe?
In its 2014 Hype Cycle for Application Development, industry analyst firm Gartner predicted accelerated growth of Reactive Programming through 2016, "as next-generation mobile and big data solutions demand new approaches to match massive scaling requirements."
The Typesafe Reactive Platform provides developers with the most powerful tools to build modern applications that react to events, react to load, react to failure, and react to users. Whether you are decomposing your monolithic application into microservices, bracing for the demands of peak traffic volume, or looking for strategies to take advantage of cloud infrastructure and multi-core hardware, we're here to help. The Typesafe Reactive Platform is used for some of the most sophisticated web-scale challenges and is battle tested by developers at leading organizations in every industry.
Certified Build
The Typesafe Reactive Platform is a distribution developed by Typesafe that is targeted toward the commercial market. Unlike our individual community projects, the Reactive Platform simplifies development and deployment of your commercial application by providing certified and curated integrations between our core projects—Play Framework, Akka, and Scala—plus any additional components distributed in the Reactive Platform, including Slick, Slick Extensions, third-party libraries, and more.
Certified technologies are validated against a comprehensive suite of integration test cases, benchmarked for performance under varied workloads and comprehensively documented. Updates are provided to you in binary form as well as source, offering more predictability and ease of maintenance. If you accidentally apply a wrong version, the Typesafe Reactive Platform will give you a friendly warning to keep you on track.
The Typesafe Reactive Platform is free for evaluation and development. Production use requires a commercial license.
Slick Extensions
Slick is a Functional Relational Mapping library for Scala that makes it easy to work with relational databases. Using the Slick Extensions package is free for evaluation and development. Production use with Oracle, IBM DB2, and Microsoft SQL Server, however, requires a commercial license under the Typesafe Together Project Success Subscription.

A St. Mary's man was sentenced Thursday morning to life in prison after pleading guilty to first-degree murder in the beating death of his estranged wife.
James Mitchell Carter, a 46-year-old Lexington Park resident who identified himself last winter to authorities as a mail carrier for the U.S. Postal Service, was arrested last February shortly after Kimberly Dawn Carter, 38, was found outside her Great Mills area home, beaten with a chunk of concrete.
Carter theoretically could one day be eligible for parole, and both the woman's father and the judge at Thursday's sentencing hearing urged Carter to seek rehabilitation if he is admitted to a prison facility that focuses on that process.
"You're going to decide if you're going to be a model inmate, or not," Circuit Judge David W. Densford said.
Larry James Richards, Kimberly Carter's father, said in court that the four younger of his daughter's five daughters now are no longer together, as they are cared for by other family members. "Because her death was caused by their father, there's no father to comfort them," Richards said.
As for forgiveness of James Carter's actions, Richards added, "We as a family are working on that."
Carter appeared in his wife's bedroom at about 3 a.m. on Feb. 19, St. Mary's detectives alleged in charging papers, and he initially got into a scuffle with Thomas Norris, her boyfriend, who struck the intruder before running outside.
Kimberly Carter escaped through a window, but her husband followed her out the window into the home's backyard and used a chuck of concrete to beat her around the head and shoulders, St. Mary's State's Attorney Richard Fritz (R) said at Carter's plea hearing in August.
At Thursday's sentencing hearing, the prosecutor said, "Not only did he kill his wife, but he destroyed his children."
James Carter chose not to speak at his sentencing hearing. "Mr. Carter accepts responsibility for this horrible tragedy," Public defender Gerald J. Riviello said.
Reading from a presentence investigation report, the judge noted that Carter told a probation agent, "It takes a lot to set me off."
James Carter and Kimberly Carter were married for about 20 years, a sister of the victim, said after the earlier plea hearing. Court papers state that Kimberly Carter and James Carter had been separated since the middle of last year, and that she told him shortly before he killed her that she was going to soon serve him with divorce papers. She died at the scene of the attack, her residence located in the Greenview West housing area off Chancellor's Run Road.
Police found James Carter a few hours later at his home in a housing area off Route 5 near Great Mills. He told a court commissioner after his arrest that he worked at the post office in Great Mills, and that he had been employed by the postal service for 13 years.
