Sarah Hanson is hard at work in her office going through a two-page checklist on a recent afternoon.
Ryland Homes has submitted a subdivision plan for their next phase. Hanson is reviewing the plan to make sure the lots are the size they're supposed to be and the open space, buffers, required setbacks and minimum street lengths so fire trucks can turn around match up.
The city's new planning director also checks on area wetlands, which are protected and restricted. Hanson calls the wetlands a great natural resource that gives the Lowcountry personality and character.
The section of property she's reviewing will go toward the Brick Hope, Liberty Hall Plantation and Brick Hope Greens subdivisions on Adler Drive, Montague Plantation Road and Henry Brown Boulevard.
Hanson started working with the city of Goose Creek in 2008 as a planning technician and last year moved into the new position of zoning specialist. She became the acting planning director late last year after the position became open and earlier in February she was named full time planning director.
"They asked me if I wanted this position," Hanson said. "Who would say no?"
Hanson grew up in North Carolina, went to Appalachian State University and worked for a real estate development company focusing on residential property, hotels and malls throughout the southeast.
Her husband and two children – who grew up in Goose Creek – moved to the area in 2002, when Hanson sold real estate in Goose Creek and joined the city's Architectural Review Board.
"It's a great place for a family," she said. "We want to keep it that way . . . a small, family town. All of that laid the groundwork for being able to do this and have a vision for what to do from here on out."
She worked closely with immediate past planning director Daniel Ben-Yisrael, whom she said started his own real estate consulting and planning business in the private sector.
"We are looking for someone to come in as a planning and zoning specialist to review all building permits and design, review and approve all of our residential communities," Hanson said. "The most delicate thing I do is working as a zoning administrator, working with businesses and residents to help them adhere to our zoning ordinances.
"I serve as the staff member that facilitates our Planning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals and the Architectural Review Board. I work closely with engineers, architects and builders. I'm the contact when people have questions on permits."
People often ask Hanson questions that involve trees – and when it's permissible to take one down – or other zoning inquiries.
"We get a ton of phone calls from our businesses and residents," she said. "I work with our boards to tweak zoning ordinances."
Hanson researches other municipalities and finds out what works for Goose Creek.
"The thing I'm most excited about is the start of Carnes Crossroads," she said. "It's been on hold a few years because of the real estate dip."
Carnes Crossroads has been permitted and approved, she said. There are three model homes from three builders on the property by the intersection of U.S.-176 and U.S.-17A.
"They're plotting the next section in full force," she said. "The whole concept of Carnes Crossroads is a mixed-use, thoughtfully-conceived community. We've been waiting for several years and it's happening now. It's springing to life.
Hanson is also happy with the recent improvements to the downtown business section.
"I'm excited to be part of such a good team here shaping what Goose Creek is going to be for the next 10 years or so," she said. "Having been here for so long, that's exciting to me. This is fun for me.
"So much of what we do is to walk people through the processes involved in certain things and make it easy on them. That's part of our customer service."

Buffalo, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Darren Helm, David Legwand and Pavel Datsyuk scored third-period goals, and Detroit walked away with a 4-2 decision over Buffalo on Tuesday.
Brendan Smith also tallied for the Red Wings, winners in five of their last six and who maintained a one-point edge over Columbus for the first wild-card slot in the East after the Jackets beat Phoenix in overtime.
Jimmy Howard backed up his offense with 25 saves.
Detroit head coach Mike Babcock won his 414th game with the franchise, vaulting him over Jack Adams for tops on the all-time list.
"The win tonight is way more important than that," Babcock said.
Zemgus Girgensons recorded both goals and Cody Hodgson assisted twice for the Sabres, who have lost four in a row and eight of nine. Matt Hackett stopped 33 shots.
"When you play a good team like Detroit, they know how to close deals," Sabres head coach Ted Nolan said.
Helm put Detroit on top by a 2-1 margin, taking a loose puck and lifting it over a fallen Hackett at 3:33 of the third period.
Legwand provided an insurance tally, beating Hackett through the pads with 4:14 to play, but Girgensons cut the Sabres' deficit to 3-2 just over two minutes later.
Buffalo went with an extra skater for the final minute, and Datsyuk hit the empty net with less than five seconds remaining.
Girgensons snapped the scoreless deadlock at 1:31 of the second period, when a shot from Hodgson caromed off his body in front and eluded Howard.
Smith pulled the Wings even on a wrister from the left circle off a cross-ice dish from Johan Franzen to cap a rush at 12:28.
Adams won 413 games for the Detroit franchise from 1927-47 ... Prior to the
contest, the Sabres announced that defenseman Chad Ruhwedel and goaltender
Nathan Lieuwen will miss the remainder of the season due to suffering
concussions in Sunday's loss at Philadelphia.

SHOCKING (not really) new information that 44% of google news readers only scan the headlines and don't actually read the full story. Even more shocking is that when people in this survey were asked where they go for "news right now" or in other words "Breaking News" 57% of them said "online," which is up from 33% just a couple of years ago. We are truly living in a digital world. See all the results

Goodbye, Dr. Huxtable... Hello, Mr. Hyde
It's one of the saddest falls from grace ever. Bill Cosby, one of the most respected entertainers of the 70s, 80s, 90s and beyond, is now one of the most reviled men on the planet. To date, 46 women have come forward, accusing the comedian of heinous acts. This week, New York magazine pictures 35 of them on the cover - along with an empty chair, for the next victim. A sad story all around. So far, 46 women have come forward to accuse Bill Cosby of sexual assault, in some cases, according to a recently unsealed deposition, with the aid of quaaludes—a powerful sedative that can render a person functionally immobile. But these allegations are by no means new, with some stretching back decades—to a time when the culture of rape in America left victims little recourse but to suffer silently, and in shame. Today, the way we think and talk about rape has evolved, creating a safer space for survivors to feel empowered by speaking up and reclaiming their victimhood. And that's led us here. Of the 46 women who have come forward to accuse Cosby, we spoke to 35 of them — "a sorrowful sisterhood" of women united by their dark experiences, steadfast in their resolve to remain silent no more.

Hut One, Hut Two, Boo Boo BOO!
This is a pretty funny video. One of the coaches of the Ohio State University football team dressed up like one of the mannequins in the hallway at the training facility, and waited for unsuspecting players to pass. Then, he pounced! Most of the players jumped. One guy was pretty nonchalant about it. But the last guy not only jumped, he tumbled over. Very funny prank. Nicely played, Coach!

Shoop for Me, Bobbi Kristina
There's a video makiing the rounds in the wake of Bobbi Kristina Brown's passing on Sunday. It shows Bobbi Kristina on stage with her mom, Whitney Houston, when she was perhaps three or four years old. Whitney was in concert in Washington, DC. The year was 1997. The quality of the video's not great, but the video itself is amazing. It's good to see the two of them in much happier times.

Lime Juice & Sunshine Do NOT Mix
I've never heard about this medical condition before, but after extensive research - okay, I Googled it - it seems like there might be something to it. It's called phytophotodermatitis. Here's the clinical explanation: Phytophotodermatitis (PPD) is a cutaneous phototoxic inflammatory eruption resulting from contact with light-sensitizing botanical substances and long-wave ultraviolet (UV-A 320-380 nm) radiation. The eruption usually begins approximately 24 hours after exposure and peaks at 48-72 hours. The phototoxic result may be intensified by wet skin, sweating, and heat. Got that? According to other sources, it's caused by lime juice being dripped on your skin followed by your body's later exposure to sunshine. So, if you happen to be drinking a margarita at the beach, and you spill it on yourself, the next day, you could wind up with phytophotodermatitis. From all accounts, it looks and acts nasty - sort of like poison ivy, but caused by the unlikeliest of produce. There's a lesson to be learned here, people. From now on, margaritas in sippy cups! This morning v. this afternoon. Progress! A photo posted by amarysuelife (@amarysuelife) on May 13, 2015 at 1:34pm PDT

Eyes Everywhere!
So a woman is sitting next to her hubby at a baseball game, (allegedly) sexting another man when a pair of young ladies over her shoulder figure out what's going on. It's the Braves versus the Dodgers on the field, but in the stands, it's Upright Citizens versus Lying Hoe. That's the characterization of the Upright Citizens, by the way, not mine. Their names are Brynn and Delana Hinson, and when they saw what was going on, they snapped some pix of the explicitexts. Not only that, they wrote a note to the hubby on the night's player roster that read: "Your wife is cheating on you. Look at the messages under Nancy! [It's] really a man named Mark Allen. There [are] pictures on my phone. [I]f she has deleted the messages... Sorry, just thought you should know!" That was Delana, and she even gave the guy her phone number. They say he called for the pix later on. Uh oh... @LUV2BCH_ for the people saying this is old and we didn't do it .. That's me bihhhhh what pic.twitter.com/pViqMUSv0S — Delana W Hinson (@lanabaybee8) July 23, 2015

If You Plan to Fly - Ever! - Do Not Watch This Video
I'm already a terrible flyer. When I do fly, I have to buy another ticket for my flying companion, Xanax. But even he couldn't have helped with this landing. A KLM pilot brought an airliner in for a wobbly landing at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on Saturday, and the video has gone viral. Getting pushed from side to side by strong winds, it looks at one point that the plane might actually tip over. The touchdown was uneventful, but you couldn't pay me enough to be on the KLM clean-up crew for that particular flight...

RIP, Bobbi Kristina
Bobbi Kristina Brown's family reported that she passed away last night at the age of 22. The daughter of the late Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown was found unconscious and unresponsive in her bathtub six months ago. She never regained consciousness. The Houston family issued a statement: "Bobbi Kristina Brown passed away July, 26 2015, surrounded by her family. She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months." Sad news of a life cut tragically short.

Don't Cry - I Dare You
Sometimes, you just have to give in and let yourself cry. The school chorus at PS22 on Staten Island sang a song in honor of a teacher battling breast cancer recently, and the video's gone viral. It's Martina McBride's "I'm Gonna Love You Through It." Try not to cry. You'll fail. I guarantee it. Such a touching and warm tribute.

Best Headline Ever?
This may be the best - and by best, I mean funniest - headline I've read in a while. It's an article from US Weekly. Headline: "Snoop Dogg Arrested in Sweden on Suspicion of Drugs" Suspicion? That's it? Suspicion? And the funniest part of the story - he apparently passed the pee-in-the-cup test. Yeah, me too. I'm shocked. Check out the story in US Weekly. There's an Instagram video there that Snoop posted about the incident. He's not happy, so it's Not Safe For Work!

Competing with the Kardashians?
Okay, we get it. Kylie and Kendall Jenner aren't really Kardashians, but they're part of the clan. They're usually facing stiff competition from their older half-siblings - Kim, Kourtney and Khloe. But now, competition from outside the family. Jessica Simpson posted a picture to Instagram, showing her wearing a bathing suit also worn on Instagram by Kylie and Kendall. Jessica's about twice as old as the kids, but she seems to be wearing it just as well. What do you think?

Let It Go in the Shower
You learn something new every day. Today, I learned two new things. (1) Gwyneth Paltrow runs a website called goop.com. It was "launched" from her kitchen in 2008. According to the website, "goop has become a place for GP to introduce some of the incredible experts who have mentored her throughout her life to a wider audience, and a place where readers can find suggestions about where to shop, eat, and stay from a trusted friend—not from an anonymous, crowd-sourced recommendation engine." (2) Gwyneth and goop recommend that women pee in the shower for their inner health. This from the woman who consciously uncoupled late last year. Directly from the site, so you know I'm not making it up: "Try peeing in the shower squatting down. When you squat to pee as opposed to sitting up straight on the toilet, you automatically engage your pelvic floor and it naturally stretches and tones. Because your urethra is pointed straight down in this position all you have to do is relax for urine to flow out easily—as opposed to sitting up straight and having to strain to empty your bladder." So what do you think, ladies? Can you do it? Will you do it? Here's a link to the whole article, in case you're interested...

They're Called "Wild" Animals for a Reason
I guess some people see warning signs and say, "Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean me." Here's a story that could have ended up with a much more horrible ending. A woman and her daughter were visiting Yellowstone National Park with her family when they spotted a bison. So she and her daughter decided to take a selfie with the bison behind them. Maybe the bison didn't like having his picture taken? So he came up behind the pair and tossed mom into the air. Luckily, she wasn't hurt too badly, but she did have to get treatment at a hospital. So please, take this is a warning. And if you're thinking, "Well, yeah, but that doesn't mean me," we'll probably be writing about you someday soon. ABC US News | World News

Feeling Good About Saving a Killer
Scientists came to the rescue in a MacGyver sort of way last week to save a nine-year-old killer whale found stranded on some rocks on the coast of British Columbia. They think the orca got caught at low tide chasing a seal, and was unable to get back into the water. According to The Daily Mail: "The group designed what it called a 'MacGyver type water pump' to keep the animal from drowning, and ultimately were able to keep the nine-year-old mammal alive until high tide freed her that evening." Pretty amazing stuff. Here's the video of the whale swimming free...

Now Kim K's Fixing the Internet?
First, Kim Kardashian tried to break the internet. It didn't really happen. So now, she's trying to fix the internet. Well, the Twitter part of it anyway. She tweeted to the co-keeper of the Twittersphere, Jack Dorsey, the other day. I just emailed Twitter to see if they can add an edit feature so that when u misspell something u don't have to delete & repost Let's see... — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) July 25, 2015 And he tweeted her back, saying it was a great idea. "We're always looking at ways to make things faster and easier," he wrote. So she tweeted words of hope. Well, sort of... Thank you @Jack #FounderOfTwitterUnderstands !!! https://t.co/SzCM03xAH2 — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) July 25, 2015 But not everyone's happy about it. You've got to read Jack's Twitter feed. It's going a little nutty about the whole thing.

Come Back, Rob Lowe, Come Back!
Rob Lowe's out as the spokesperson for DirecTV. You remember the ads where the regular Rob Lowe had DirecTV and a variety of "other" split-screened Rob Lowes had cable. Those ads were so cheesy, they were starting to grow on me. So anyway, he's out. Gone. See ya later, Gator. And he's been replaced by... Drum roll, please. New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning. Let that sink in. And then watch his DirecTV commercial debut. Perhaps after that, you'll help organize the Bring Back Rob Lowe committee in your town?

"When Civilization Ends... It Ends Fast"
To date, the trailers for Fear the Walking Dead, the prequel to AMC's hit show, The Walking Dead, have been less than intriguing. Looks like the trailer the producers released at Comic-Con last week has got a little more meat to it. Okay, a lot more meat, and some of it human. I held off watching it until now, fully expecting more disappointment. My bad. Now I get it. To some degree, it's even more horrifying than The Walking Dead, since it tells the story of how the zombies came to be to begin with. I actually think I might have to tune in to the premiere now. What do you think?

Modern Technology Meets the Future
One of the most advanced personal cameras available to man today is the GoPro. People can strap it on anywhere and anything and capture some pretty interesting video points-of-view. So what would it be like if a Jedi warrior - someone like Obi Wan Kenobi - strapped one on and captured a day-in-the-life? Wonder no more, my friends. That moment has happened. Today has met the future, and it's pretty cool.

No Talking or Texting in the Theater
Seriously, is anything more annoying than someone talking or texting in the middle of a movie or a play. Last week, Broadway star Patti Lupone made news when she walked off stage and took away the phone of someone who was texting during a performance. Now, it's Kevin Bacon's turn, and he's upping the ante. Because in Kevin Bacon's world, talking and texting in a theater is a crime. And you could do time. Check out this PSA for Alamo Cinemas...

Pixels Panned Pre-Opening
Adam Sandler's new movie, Pixels, gets wide release tonight. The premise: video games from the 80s were launched into space to say hello to alien species. After 30 years, they're back to terrorize Earth. The only hope to save the planet: the gamers who conquered the video games 30 years ago. Here's the trailer... As usual, film critics got to see the movie before the general public. The folks at BuzzFeed assembled the 11 best reviews - and by "best," I mean reviews that skewered the film and Adam Sandler. My favorite, from Josh Bell at Las Vegas Weekly: "Calling Pixels one of Sandler's better movies is like calling a particular strain of Ebola somewhat less horrifically painful; either way, it's not pleasant."

What Is This, A Fruit Salad Tree?
Here comes a wacky science story, everybody, from the Land of Botany. A professor at Syracuse University has created - with the help of a process called "chip grafting" - a tree capable of growing 40 different types of fruit. They're all stone fruits - in other words, fruits with pits - and the professor considers the trees works of art. Check out the video from National Geographic.

Now Standing In For a Plague of Locusts...
I thought it was Shark Week, but it's looking more like Bug Week. Yesterday, we talked about a 50-mile long swarm of grasshoppers and beetles that was showing up on weather radar. Today, we talk about a swarm of mayflies that made a knee-high insectile pile that closed down a bridge that connects Illinois and Iowa. Closed down a bridge. They had to get a public works crew on-scene with a snowplow to push the buggers off the bridge - and then they had to sand it down because they'd left a slippery mess. This is real, people. Check out the news story. And stock up on your Raid and Off products. The next swarm could be hitting your town!

Grab Some Raid, Y'all!
The Weird Science story of the day is right here. The National Weather Service has declared an official Bug Alert for Knox County, Texas. There's a swarm of grasshoppers and beetles actually showing up on radar. Check this out. The swarm goes from the ground to about 2500 feet in the air, and covers 50 miles. That's a heck of a lot of bugs right there. I'm thinking, if you live in Knox County, Texas, maybe you stay inside for a bit. With the windows closed... Check it out!

Batman, Superman & Darth Vader Walk Into a Death Star...
Consider this one a TBT gift - the video's from a few months ago, but I just stumbled on it. It's especially funny considering all the hype surrounding Batman Versus Superman and the new Star Wars movie.

An Executive Order We Can Get Behind!
President Barack Obama made his seventh - and final - appearance on The Daily Show this week. He spent about 20 minutes with Jon Stewart, and they talked about fun stuff and serious stuff as well. But right off the bat, the President made an announcement that I think we, as a country, can stand behind, 100%. An executive order that Jon Stewart cannot leave The Daily Show.

If there's one term that can make a CISO squirm whenever mentioned, it's "Shadow IT." After all, when tasked with securing an enterprise-scale network, most CISOs frown on business units and employees procuring their own tech solutions — like Dropbox, Flickr, or Gmail — without notifying IT for proper vetting. But that discomfort isn't stopping […]

Grover is getting desperate.
linkGrover Norquist: Obama May Decide To Go Blow Up Small Countries Out Of Boredom
Anti-tax activist Grover Norquist believes Republicans will hold President Obama on such a tight fiscal leash that he will have no choice but to launch unnecessary wars against small countries in order to fulfill his desire to spend more money.
Appearing on C-SPANs Washington Journal this morning, the Americans for Tax Reform founder made the Wag the Dog-esque prediction while discussing how the GOP will make sure Obama is fiscally restrained during his final four years as president.
We, the Republicans in the House and Senate, will make [Obama] actually make those spending restraints, Norquist said of the sort of cuts of which he believes Obamas support is only nominal.
Obama will be on a very short leash, fiscally speaking, over the next four years. Hes not gonna have any fun at all, Norquist continued. He may decide to go blow up small countries he cant pronounce because it wont be any fun to be here because he wont be able to spend the kind of cash he was hoping to.
Watch the clip below, via CSPAN:
LOL. Now that his power is waning, he has gone from the responsible 'no tax hike' guy lobbyist to a raving/foaming at the mouth clone of Glenn Beck!!!! Its great to watch.

Anyone who has spent much time in the woods understands that nature is very fickle. In fact, it is quite often downright contrary.
Possibly, this is the true natural attraction, as an ever changing, environment is certainly much more interesting than a static state.
Over my years in the woods, I've stumbled across a wide collection of natural oddities. However, quite possibly the strangest incident I've ever witnessed occurred while bow hunting in the Southern Tier near Cobleskill.
I was sitting in a tree-stand on top of a long ridge that looms over Cobleskill Reservoir. The small pond is a popular stop over for Canada Geese during their migration south.
It was early bow season, and I was comfortably ensconced in a stand situated atop a long ridgeline locally known as Dow Hollow. The morning was crisp, the air still, and the woods were quiet.
Before a glint of sun was evident in the morning sky, the silence was shattered by a colophony of geese taking off from the waters below.
Peering through leaf bare oaks and towering white pines, I could make out a long dark mass of geese taking to the air; honking and barking on a southern journey.
As the great flock flew over the ridgeline, the big birds were barely clearing the treetops, and the noise resounded through the forest. The birds were flying over the ridgetop so low; I could hear their powerful wing beats.
Soon the birds were out of sight and the silence returned. I could hear the grey squirrels searching for acorns, otherwise the woods were still and quiet.
I listened intently while waiting intently for the telltale sound of whitetails returning up the ridge from the fields far below.
But there were none. The only sound was the chattering of my teeth, as I suffered through the long, cold lapse of time between first light, and a warm sun.There are no words to describe the agony of waiting for the warm morning sun to snake down from the treetops to your stand. Undeniably, it is the coldest part of the day, a slow misery.

Graduate School of Education News
Professor Steve Rhine receives $742k grant to start Algebraic Thinking Project
The Graduate School of Education (GSE) recently announced that Professor Steve Rhine has received a Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) grant for $742,000 from the U.S. Department of Education.
The grant will fund the Algebraic Thinking Project, whose purpose is to restructure pre-service math teacher education by synthesizing research on students' thinking and misconceptions of algebra into a Center for Algebraic Thinking that will empower new teachers to open the algebra gateway with their students.
The Center for Algebraic Thinking will provide a suite of resources for teachers, including a catalog of formative assessment problems and a matrix of technological tools. Rhine and colleagues from Pacific University, George Fox University, and Western Oregon University will collaborate on the Algebraic Thinking Project and restructure math methods courses to increase pre-service teachers' knowledge and skills to ultimately improve students' algebra understanding, test scores, graduation rates, and college enrollment.Visit the GSE online

- Iodido(tri-tert-butylphosphane-κP)gold(I) (2012)
- The AuI atom of the title compound, [AuI(C12H27P)], shows an almost linear coordination, with a P—Au—I angle of 178.52 (3)° [Au—P = 2.2723 (14) Å and Au—I = 2.5626 (6) Å].
- Trans-Dichloridobis(triphenylphosphane-κP)palladium(II) benzene hemisolvate (2012)
- The title complex, [PdCl2(C18H15P)2]·0.5C6H6, has the PdII ion in a square-planar coordination mode (r.m.s. deviation for Pd, P and Cl atoms = 0.024 Å) with the PPh3 and Cl ligands mutually trans. The benzene solvent molecule is located about a crystallographic inversion centre. The title complex is isostructural with trans-dichloridobis(triphenylphosphane)palladium(II) 1,4-dichlorobenzene sesquisolvate [Kitano et al. (1983 [triangle]). Acta Cryst. C39, 1015–1017].
- Bromido(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)mercury(II) (2012)
- Molecules of the title compound, [HgBr(C9H11)], are located on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. Due to the molecular symmetry, the HgII atom is linearly coordinated by the ipso-C of the mesityl group and the Br atom. In the crystal, molecules lie in planes parallel to (001).

Well, it's been 6 months since one of the devs of Wurm Online posted on this site about adding new character models and other graphic improvements to the game. I am wondering where is the noise he said he was going to make when the changes were ready?
Some may find this thread impatient, but I hardly see it that way seeing that the dev who posted, gave the impression that the changes were near completion 6 months ago.
If those changes weren't imminent, then it wouldn't have made much sense to post his comment about the review being a "ninja" review in his opinion.
I visit this Web site daily, so it would be odd if I missed a big announcement involving graphics improvement to Wurm Online. An update with a more accurate timeframe from the dev(s) would be great, since most other game devs do when they are close to releasing new content.

Spiders, Wolves, Deer and Chickens are now fully animated (with new models) - and honestly, triple-A material.
People immediately bitched (not surprising) that spiders were too scary, so they patched in a 'Phobia Mode" that turns them into slimes. As for character models, not yet, but there is video evidence of it and piecemeal armor showing wherever it's worn. Plus, it's animated.
~On the timeframe, though, give em an effin' break. It's not a Blizzard game, where they have a huge budget and would still take their damned sweet time simply because they could. They talked about rooms in buildings and a 2nd story to houses for YEARS, and they fairly recently patched in the former aspect. Have patience or simply forget the game and move on, it moves slowly (in more ways than one).

I'm all for giving the devs the benefit of a doubt when necessary. However, there are far smaller companies in the industry that have accomplished more in less time, so I don't exactly feel sorry for the dev team of Wurm Online at the moment.
My thread is fairly simple in nature so I appreciate most of the feedback given, even with the typical backlash from any fanbase telling non-believers to move on if they don't like something.
Thanks again though for the info and hopefully the character models get implemented soon because I feel that is the major issue other than animations holding the game back.

He's been promising multistory buildings for just as long and probably hasn't written a single line of code. Don't hold your breathe. It's the old carrot-on-a-stick game.

Also, Notch can code. That's how he could make money to hire said programmers. Notch also made Wurm in about a year, didn't he, and left it to die with Rolf, who hasn't got anything done since then.

I'm not sure if that's meant to contradict me. Yea, Rolf was the server dev, Notch was the client day. And Rolf sucked so Notch ditched him. Probably because Rolf can't even set up a website that doesn't allow SQL injection via php. That is a very basic issue.
Now he's got people to work for him because he made enough money to go on holidays a few times a year with something that Notch probably created almost single-handedly - at which times he left the server absolutely unattended, causing days long downtimes reimbursed with ALSO BROKEN sleep bonus.
Rolf is veeery far up on the list of fail devs. If you can call him a dev. Administrator, yes. Developer.. not so sure.

A lost gamer looking for the MMO of his dreams.
My goodness you guys are harsh on him. At least you guys got a game to play, and a half way decent one that doesn't exist at the current moment. I realize he isn't the best when it comes to running the game, but he is trying his best I'd imagine. He wouldn't keep putting out updates, and working on these upgrades if he didn't care and love his creation. So how about trying to make what he has make if you can be so critical of him.
Originally posted by Tesinato
What has he made? "His creation"? Did you even read my posting? I mean I don't care, I don't play this anymore. Because it's not going anywhere, to answer the OP. Which is also what Notch said: "When asked if Wurm would shut down due to his resigning, Markus said 'Wurm's not going anywhere.'"
This game has its qualities. It's the best terraforming grinder mmorpg. That's what it is. Whether it's really a sandbox or not is subject to interpretation, since it has almost no social interaction at all. And don't give me that "it's so supercomplex that you don't understand it" nonsense. There's nothing supercomplex about an inner circle of whiners on their forums who cry as loud as they can whenever Rolf attempts to make the game more noob-friendly by lowering the grinding timers, threatening to "devaluate" their "achievements" of the past 5-10 years.
Oh and it only costs 5€. That's also good. Kind of. Although I think that even a 5€ game should be playable and have customer support. When I started playing we had 30 seconds of lag for a few weeks straight and similar things still happen.
But fun-wise.. if you have fun grinding yourself into nirvana.. Then this is pretty cool I guess.
Btw "do it better", seriously? LOL in so many ways.

Personally, I'm happily playing Wurm and I find plenty of personal interaction in it - in my opinion it's one of the best sandboxes around. And I don't have 30 seconds of lag as well. :)

It seems that 90% of the content now days isn't from ROLF. For example the models and art are coming from a 3rd party company.
While a lot of the other content, like multi-story housing, is coming from another developer (or it seems that way, as he's always the one posting about it on the forums when they get new things added)

After 6+ years of gameplay I've had the displeasure of being told by Rolf on the forum and his blog recently of new and upcoming things, I was teased with screen shots that we're posted on their threads on the forum. When a year passes they post saying it's still being worked on and then another year goes by and the same thing. We have heard about two story houses for nearly the whole development cycle of the game along with animations, still nothing really has been completed.
The game is fun so play it and enjoy it but don't hang around thinking some major update is coming soon. Let your sub go and check back and see, you'll find it's still a year or two off and maybe another year or two after that.
The progress is slow and he's outsourcing much of it because he lacks the experience to really do it. I don't think the game was really setup for it and it's nearing 8 years old, so all that tech is old now and hasn't really been updated to current standards, so they have to rig things to work and make plugins to import work. Play it, enjoy it, and leave when you reach that point. Don't believe anything that is posted as you'll just be wasting your time and money waiting on things that may never go in game.

I left Wurm online about 3 years ago, I am glad it is getting some updates FINALLY.
On the otherhand I agree with one poster that said, Rolf has been playing the "carrot on a stick" game with most of the game population.
Lets look at what has happened.
He removed the home servers and condensed them down to the WILD server, which was popular for about 3 months then died. He then created the Epic server, which was cool for about 2 weeks then died. Then he rereleased the home servers and went back to the old setup that Notch and he had, and claimed it was new.... well we see how well thats going, there are people who play but they get bored and comeback months later.
PVP is still pretty rare, trading is rarer, all anyone does is build and grind, like they did when I was active. I love the concept of Wurm online I love the gameplay for the most part. I love the depth of Wurm online.
I hate Rolf's lazy attitude towards the game and its community.
When asked about bridges, he answers "he is working on it."
multi-story buildings, working on it.
customizable avatars, working on it.
boarding hostile ships, NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
Damaging hostile ships with siege weapons (catapults), NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
Moving animals on ships, not happening.
The list goes on.... Its not that he doesnt have the skill to do these things, he just doesnt put forth the effort.
So much crap, so little quality.

In collaboration with the Sanford School of Public Policy, Duke Law School offers the opportunity to pursue a JD/Master of Public Policy dual degree. Candidates apply separately to the Law School and the Sanford School and receive independent admission decisions.
Application information
Students admitted to the JD/MPP program complete both degrees in four years. Some choose to spend their first year at the law school, and their second year at the Sanford School, and take classes from both during their third and fourth years. Others reverse the order of the first two years of study, beginning at the Sanford School and then completing the first year of law school.
Master of Public Policy
Duke's MPP program combines a rigorous core curriculum with a wide variety of electives and real-world projects. Students may concentrate in global policy, social policy, or health policy. The program also includes applied consulting projects with outside clients on a variety of real-world policy problems, a summer internship, and a substantial research-based master's project.
Learn more about the MPP
Public Policy at Duke Law
Duke Law offers a variety of resources for students interested in the policy aspects of the legal profession.
The MA or MS degree that is pursued jointly with the JD degree in the Law School requires 30 units of paid registration in the Graduate School. Depending upon the department involved, from 18 to 30 of those units must be in graded coursework. If the required coursework is less than 30 units, students must register for enough ungraded research units to reach the required total of 30. Like all other master's students, dual JD/MA or JD/MS students must maintain continuous registration within the Graduate School, and take a master's exam (a written exam, submission/discussion of research papers, or a formal thesis, again depending upon the department involved).
Dual Professional Degree Programs
All programs except the JD/MD program are four years long. Students spend their first year in one school and their second year in the alternate school, in whichever order the student chooses. The student's second year consists of the full first-year program of the other school. In the third and fourth years of the program, the student takes courses in both schools. Approximately two-thirds of these courses are taken in the Law School.
The student in the JD/MD program begins the course of study in the School of Medicine. As in the regular MD program, the first year is devoted to the basic medical sciences, and the second year is devoted to the basic clinical disciplines. After those two years, the student enrolls in the Law School, taking the prescribed first-year courses. After completing seventy-two credits in the Law School, the student returns to the Medical School for elective clinical work tailored to the student's specialized interests. The student will complete eighteen additional semester hours (two summer sessions) of basic science work.
- JD/MBA (Business Administration & the Law)
- JD/MD (Medicine & the Law)
- JD/MEM (Environmental Management & the Law)
- JD/MTS (Theological Studies & the Law)
- JD/MPP (Public Policy & the Law)
General Requirements
For all dual degrees, the Law School and the joint department or school each reduce the number of required credits in recognition of the students' coursework completed in the joint discipline. Students who matriculate as JD/MBA, JD/MD, JD/MEM, JD/MPP, and JD/MTS candidates prior to summer 2013 must complete 72 law credits, rather than the 84 law credits required for JD-only candidates. Students who matriculate on or after summer 2013 must earn 75 law credits instead. The Fuqua School of Business, the Medical School, the Nicholas School of the Environment, the Sanford Institute for Public Policy Studies, and the Divinity School reduce their degree requirements in similar fashion. (For details regarding the non-law credit requirements for a specific dual degree program, please visit the web site of the particular University department or school involved.) Dual degree candidates generally save a full year of study that would otherwise be required if they earned their two degrees consecutively.
Submit a JD application to the Law School and indicate your intention to apply for the dual degree on that form. Concurrently, submit your application to the Sanford School of Public Policy for the MPP. Follow their directions to indicate that you are also applying to the Law School.
It is also possible to matriculate into one degree program at Duke and apply to the other during the first year of study.
JD application information
MPP application information
Each school will complete its normal application review process, and you will receive separate decisions for each degree. These processes run on different timelines, so you are not guaranteed to receive the decisions at the same time.
If you are admitted to both degrees, you may choose where to begin your studies at Duke. Please be sure to notify the schools of your decision so that they can manage their classes appropriately.
Standardized Testing
The LSAT is required for all Law School dual-degree applicants. The MPP program will waive their GRE requirement for JD/MPP applicants.

PILOT MOUNTAIN - East Surry topped Elkin 6-5 in a game filled with late-inning excitement.
Elkin held a 4-3 lead in the sixth inning, but the Cardinals rallied to tie the game.
After Elkin took the lead in the top of the seventh, the home team came back with two runs in the bottom half for the win.
There were 21 hits in this game, but not a single extra-base hit, noted assistant coach Chad Freeman. Elkin had 11 singles and East Surry 10. Both teams committed two errors.
Four different Cards had two hits, and Seth Brim led the team with three RBIs.
Scott Meredith started the game on the mound and pitched two scoreless innings before Elkin could scratch in the third.
The Cards posted three runs in the second inning on Calvin Yarboro.
Catcher Madison Chilton walked, and Meredith dropped a sacrifice bunt to move courtesy runner Casey Marion to second.
Blake Marion reached on an infield single to put two aboard.
Brim singled in Chilton for the first run, then an out later Logan Sheets singled in Marion, with Brim advancing to third.
With runners on the corners, East Surry ran one of its favorite plays. Sheets took off for second base, then Brim waited until the catcher threw the ball to take off from third.
Elkin relayed the ball back home, but Brim beat the throw for a 3-0 lead.
That lead didn't last long, however, as Meredith lost his control to start the third, noted Coach Barry Hall. He wasn't hitting his spots, and Elkin reached with four straight hits.
After a ground ball moved the runner on first over to second, Frank Miller hit a shallow ball to left that was misplayed by the outfielder to allow Elkin to go up 4-3.
Neither team would score in the fourth inning, then Cody Ashburn would come on in relief of Meredith in the fifth inning.
Ashburn kept Elkin from scoring in the fifth and sixth.
In the bottom of the sixth, Yarboro came out for Houston Parks. The Cards then scored a run to tie the game.
Weston Payne drew a walk, then so did Sheets to put two runners aboard. One out later, Drew Wilson singled through the right side to score Payne.
In the top of the seventh, Elkin got its only run off Ashburn.
With one out, Ted Shore singled and Jamie Crawford walked. After Miller popped out, catcher Daniel Brinegar hit a swinging bunt and raced down the line to load the bases.
Bubba Bradley singled up the middle to take the lead. Ashburn shut the door by getting Seth Creed to hit into a fielder's choice.
The Cards wasted no time getting back in the game.
Ashburn led off the last at-bat with a walk.
Meredith dropped a sacrifice bunt, but he hustled down the line and beat the throw to put two runners on.
Blake Marion then squared around and dropped another sacrifice bunt, but he, too, beat the play at first to load the bases.
Brim dumped a single into right-center that scored both Ashburn and Meredith for the win.
Ashburn got the win, improving his record to 4-1 on the season.
Brim went 2-3 with a run and three RBIs. Blake Marion and Meredith were both 2-3 with a run scored.
Sheets was 2-3 with an RBI.

All valid questions! We thought of that as well--how do we steer people towards or away from doctors. The challenge we face is the laws that govern a nonprofit prohibit us from "advertising" any particular doctor. If we put in a name and then accept money from that doctor the IRS sees it as advertising. So we cannot post names. What we can do is encourage our members to email people directly with suggestions, we recommend the professional groups who specialize in this disease (like APEC in the UK--who then can recommend who is best there and the North American Society for the Study of Hypertension in Pregnancy www.nasshp.org). It's a quandary--no question.
The UK has some of the best doctors in this field and APEC is doing great things.
Take care,

Take your Bluetooth speaker power to the extreme with Jawbone's BIG JAMBOX
Did you ever look at a Jawbone JAMBOX and wish that it was bigger? If so, your wishes have been answered with the BIG JAMBOX, everything you loved about the original but at a much larger size. (10.1 x 3.2 x 3.7 inches and 2.7lbs to be exact!)
The original JAMBOX had great sound and the BIG JAMBOX aims to take that sound and fill even bigger spaces with it. Not just a room but a hall, not just a movie night but a party. With precision-tuned drivers and dual passive bass radiators, it promises great sound at any size. It also uses LiveAudio technology, which Jawbone claims "reveals rich layers of audio that you can sense all around you". 3D sound can be a bit of a gimmick, so hopefully it's good as well as fancy.
Even though the BIG JAWBONE is much larger, and is built from strong stainless steel, the BIG JAMBOX still aims to remain portable. It's Bluetooth -- though 2.1 and not 4.0 -- so you're not stuck with wires. It boasts 15 hours of battery time, so you shouldn't run out during the day (or night). You can also update it over the internet, so if apps, updates, or new content becomes available, you can grab it and make it yours. There's even a carrying case (sold separately) to protect your purchase on the go.
Certainly the original, smaller JAMBOX will still appeal to many users. It's so easy to take around and sounds so good, after all. But sometimes big music, big movies, and big games will simply require big speakers. For those occasions, and those kinds of users, now t
The BIG JAMBOX will be available in graphite hex, white wave, and red dot. It ships on May 15 and can be pre-ordered now for $299.

Take your Bluetooth speaker power to the extreme with Jawbone's BIG JAMBOX
Sorry I couldn't concentrate on reading the article on account of the graphic on top lol. What's this about?
I recently bought the Bose Soundlink, and I am very impressed. Huge sound for such a small speaker. I thought that it was just indoors though, but on Sunday took it outside while grilling and it still played loud with full sound, not tinny at all and it wasnt even turned up all the way. In fact, I had to turn it down in order to talk. Saw this, and thought maybe I shouldve waited, but did a search and CNET says its still not quite as good as the Bose Soundlink. Just thought Id share that, not sure how reputable their reviews are. Anyways, I can vouch for the Bose. Same price tag too. Jambox Grande looks promising though.
This is he perfect comment, I just bought a soundlink a little under 2 weeks ago, and I am BEYOND happy with it, and when I read this article, I couldn't help thinking that maybe I should have waited for this, but thank you for pitting my mind at ease, and who am I to EVER doubt bose?! Haha.
Georgia....thank you for curing my ADD! I have no idea what you wrote about but I'm zeroed in now like a laser beam. You provide a great service.

For support and advice from others,
visit our Brain Aneurysms Community
A brain (cerebral) aneurysm is a weak or thin spot on a blood vessel in the brain that balloons out and fills with blood.
There are three types of cerebral aneurysm. A saccular aneurysm
is a rounded or pouch-like sac of blood that is attached by a neck or stem to
an artery or a branch of a blood vessel. Also known as a berry aneurysm
(because it resembles a berry hanging from a vine), this most common form of
cerebral aneurysm is typically found on arteries at the base of the
brain. Saccular aneurysms occur most often in adults. A lateral aneurysm appears as a bulge on one wall of the blood vessel, while a fusiform aneurysm is formed by the widening along all walls of the vessel.
Aneurysms are also classified by size. Small aneurysms are less than 11 millimeters in diameter (about the size of a large pencil eraser), larger aneurysms are 11-25 millimeters (about the width of a dime), and giant aneurysms are greater than 25 millimeters in diameter (more than the width of a quarter).
Brain aneurysms can occur in anyone, at any age. They are more common
in adults than in children and slightly more common in women than in men.
People with certain inherited disorders are also at higher risk.
All cerebral aneurysms have the potential to rupture and cause bleeding within the brain. The incidence of reported ruptured aneurysm is about 10 in every 100,000 persons per year (about 27,000 individuals per year in the U.S.), most commonly in people between ages 30 and 60 years. Possible risk factors for rupture include hypertension, alcohol abuse, drug abuse (particularly cocaine), and smoking. In addition, the condition and size of the aneurysm affects the risk of rupture.
Aneurysms may burst and bleed into the brain, causing serious complications, including hemorrhagic stroke, permanent nerve damage, or death. Once it has burst, the aneurysm may burst again and bleed into the brain, and additional aneurysms may also occur. More commonly, rupture may cause a subarachnoid hemorrhage - bleeding into the space between the skull bone and the brain. A delayed but serious complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage is hydrocephalus, in which the excessive buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the skull dilates fluid pathways called ventricles that can swell and press on the brain tissue. Another delayed post-rupture complication is vasospasm, in which other blood vessels in the brain contract and limit blood flow to vital areas of the brain. This reduced blood flow can cause stroke or tissue damage.
An un-ruptured aneurysm may go unnoticed throughout a person's
lifetime. A burst aneurysm, however, may be fatal or could lead to
hemorrhagic stroke, vasospasm (the leading cause of disability or death
following a burst aneurysm), hydrocephalus, coma, or short-term and/or
permanent brain damage.
The prognosis for persons whose aneurysm has burst is largely dependent on the age and general health of the individual, other preexisting neurological conditions, location of the aneurysm, extent of bleeding (and re-bleeding), and time between rupture and medical attention. It is estimated that about 40 percent of individuals whose aneurysm has ruptured do not survive the first 24 hours; up to another 25 percent die from complications within 6 months. People who experience subarachnoid hemorrhage may have permanent neurological damage. Other individuals may recover with little or no neurological deficit. Delayed complications from a burst aneurysm may include hydrocephalus and vasospasm. Early diagnosis and treatment are important.
Individuals who receive treatment for an un-ruptured aneurysm generally require less rehabilitative therapy and recover more quickly than persons whose aneurysm has burst. Recovery from treatment or rupture may take weeks to months.
Results of the International Subarachnoid Aneurysm Trial (ISAT), sponsored primarily by health ministries in the United Kingdom, France, and Canada and announced in October 2002, found that outcome for individuals who are treated with endovascular coiling may be superior in the short-term (1 year) to outcome for those whose aneurysm is treated with surgical clipping. Long-term results of coiling procedures are unknown and investigators need to conduct more research on this topic, since some aneurysms can recur after coiling. Individuals may want to consult a specialist in both endovascular and surgical repair of aneurysms, to help provide greater understanding of treatment options.

|Bobby Sands
(public domain image)
This fact did not sit well with Margaret Thatcher or the rest of the British establishment. And of course, it shouldn't have; his election was a direct rebuke of Thatcherite Britain and unionist Irish politicians. The British parliament responded accordingly and, when his death was announced in the body, they omitted the traditional condolences for him and his family.
I'm sure many will see this as an endorsement of Sands and the IRA, but it isn't. I'm in fact not really taking any position at all on Sands, the Troubles, northern Irish republicanism, or assorted issues. But I am insisting: Bobby Sands was an MP. Why? Because it happened. Because his election was an act of protest. Because regardless of whatever tangled thoughts I might have about a conflict I can't possibly understand beyond the hypothetical, I respect protest, dissent, and resistance. And because I am with Haruki Murakami:
"Between a high, solid wall and an egg that breaks against it, I will always stand on the side of the egg."If you never have, you should read that entire piece. I admire it deeply and without reservation. I admire it in large part because it is so alien and out of place with the edifice of American political commentary, with its narrow definition of seriousness and the endless efforts of its members to demonstrate their fidelity to some strained, false notion of legitimate argument. With its idealism, its categorical moral statements, and its utter fearlessness about using terms like "the System" that seem almost designed to encourage snickers from the endlessly savvy political consciousness of this country, it amounts to a thorough rejection of that mode and all its assumptions. For that reason I celebrate it.
Yes, no matter how right the wall may be and how wrong the egg, I will stand with the egg. Someone else will have to decide what is right and what is wrong; perhaps time or history will decide.
To see that attitude in action merely check out some of the comments on that piece, where the discourse police mock Murakami and condescend to define what it means to speak responsibly about politics. The permanent attitude towards convictions such as Murakami's, and mine, is incredulity, and the insistence that those convictions can exist only insofar as the are ill-considered or unexamined. I can't tell you how often I encounter actors in the political discourse (the connected, or those who wish to be) who say, "you can't really still think that. You can't really still argue that. You can't really still read that. What year is this? You lost this fight a long time ago. Responsible people don't argue that way." What is generally not countenanced is the idea that I could have heard the other arguments, known the history, learned the context, and chosen to believe what I believe anyway. A politics like mine is supposed to be embraced only within quotation marks. I am meant to believe what I believe only so long as I drown it in irony or signaling or the counterintuitive. Something to show that I am not one of those, that I have gotten with the times.
There is, I'm sure, some commitment to acting out. Murakami, again: "I tend to do the exact opposite of what I am told. If people are telling me -- and especially if they are warning me -- 'Don't go there,' 'Don't do that,' I tend to want to 'go there' and 'do that.'" This commitment, too, to being a punk, to resisting conformity, to rebellion for its own sake-- this too is generative and important. I don't want to be cool with you. Nothing could be a more glaring sign that I need to correct my course than if I get credit from the with it, the connected, and the cool.
So: between the high hard wall and the egg, I will always choose the egg, no matter how right the wall, no matter how wrong the egg. Between prison guards and the prisoners they beat and terrorize, I will always choose the prisoners. Between the powerful nation and the men who starve themselves to death in protest against it, I will always choose the protesters. I don't claim that their stance is right or that my choosing is responsible. Others will have to decide what is right or what is responsible.
I don't have a stance on the IRA. I don't and can't reconcile the protection of innocent lives with the IRA's actions. I have no opinion on the blurry lines between the revolutions we like and the terrorism we don't. I am saying very little, except to say, on his birthday: Bobby Sands was an MP.

Astrological Counseling: Learn Astrology While Learning About You
My fascination with the ancient art of astrology began at age 18, when I became very ill and discovered the stars gave me a compass exactly when I needed one. Astrology contextualized my life in the grander scheme of things by reminding me of who I truly am. It did so in a personal and revelatory way, it was as though I'd found a missing lifelong friend (and she happened to be me!). Astrology has since grown into an empowering tool for navigating periods of transformative change for my self, and my clients.
You don't need to know any astrology to benefit from astrological counseling: only a desire to more deeply learn about you. The counseling format will open up a creative inner dialogue. Our sessions will empower you to move beyond your conceived identity and circumstances and into a realm of possibility. Through dialoguing with each other and the archetypes, we will peel back the layers of debris and confusion clouding your life, and remind you of your essence. Within the context of an ongoing supportive relationship, a series of one-on-one astro-counseling sessions facilitates deeper healing and self-understanding.
Here are some reasons to consider astrology counseling:
- You're trying to get perspective on the events and circumstances of your life.
- You're experiencing personal or interpersonal conflict and asking the deep questions.
- You're in a period of unsettling change and would like some context & meaning.
- You've read the astrology books, you've gotten a natal reading and now you'd like an astrology teacher.
I make this easy & accessible for you. We begin our explorations right where you are. We meet in person or by phone in weekly or bi-monthly one hour sessions. My rate is hourly, $60 per hour. Because of the ongoing nature of our work, these are purchased in 4-hour increments ($240) on my readings page (click here). Note: if you are a first time client, you must book a natal or transit prior to mentoring.
Here's what my clients have to say about their sessions with me:
"I love our sessions and am so glad to have found you…I love studying astrology, but I can't imagine it would have had such a positive and on-going effect on my life without your intuitive, open-minded, thoughtful, and imaginative counseling and teaching. You have such a wonderful gift!"
"The work we've done together has been very enlightening for me- at many splendid levels. You've touched my heart, opened my mind and soothed my soul."
"Talking with you has helped me give voice to things I am feeling and experiencing but don't have a language for."

At Luther, we hold ourselves to a high standard when it comes to sustainability-in fact, we consider it part of our mission. We recognize that sustainability goes hand in hand with a just, equitable, and prosperous society, and we work hard not only to green our campus practices but also to teach students through academic courses and campus life that creating a sustainable society is a responsibility that falls to each of us.
As a leader in college campus environmentalism, Luther has made some serious commitments to renewable energy. In 2013, we completed installation of the largest solar array in Iowa. This brings our total solar array count to three, and we now use solar energy to completely power two facilities that house more than 120 undergraduates. Our wind turbine, erected in 2011, harnesses a second renewable energy source and supplies a third of Luther's power, dramatically reducing our greenhouse gas emissions and enabling us to shrink our carbon footprint while we work toward our goal of carbon neutrality and other sustainability commitments.
We've had a tradition of recycling at Luther since 1973, and in addition to recycling waste from classrooms, offices, and residence halls, we compost pre- and post- consumer waste from the cafeteria and use it to enrich our many college gardens. Produce from the gardens helps supply the cafeteria, and Luther purchases many of its other food products from local, sustainable providers. We also strive to build new campus construction to the LEED silver standard or equivalent, and we use hybrid, electric, and biodiesel vehicles in our campus fleet. These are just a few of the many measures that we've taken as stewards of the natural world around us.
Luther is proud to be recognized as one of the most sustainable schools in Iowa and the nation. Among recent distinctions, we earned a STARS (Sustainability Tracking, Assessment, and Rating System) silver rating, a 2012 Second Nature Climate Leadership Award, and, in 2013, a listing as a top green college in The Princeton Review's Guide to 322 Green Colleges and recognition by the Sierra Club as one of the nation's greenest universities. As a recognized leader in campus sustainability, we consider it a responsibility to promote ecological and wellness efforts throughout the region. Our outreach initiatives include food and health programs in northeast Iowa, particularly in the public schools, as well as environmental clubs, camps, and classes for children. In 2013, we opened the Center for Sustainable Communities to act as regional sustainability resource and coordinate campus and community efforts.
Sustainability isn't just lip service at Luther—it's part of our ethos.
