America's largest corporation was created in 1901, the result of a consolidation between Carnegie Steel and steel mills owned by J.P Morgan, which in turn made the three largest shareholders in Carnegie Steel amongst the richest men in the nation. Two of the main beneficiaries, Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick became known round the world as iconic figures of the Robber Baron period, while the third man, the quiet bookkeeper, Henry Phipps never sought the spotlight or became a target of the reformers.
Andrew Carnegie stopped building libraries a long time ago, but the Carnegie Foundation is still going strong. Henry Clay Frick shrewdly assembled a collection of world class paintings and installed them in his glorious mansion home on New York's Fifth Avenue. But, the family of Henry Phipps, who grew up in a squalid Pittsburgh tenement, have gone on building affordable housing in New York; their latest project a combination of high rise apartments and private town houses in a once burned-out area of the South Bronx.
You can thank the Phipps family for the past 108 years putting to grand use Henry Phipps' magnificent payoff from the 1901 takeover of $67.5 million which would be worth $1.5-$2.0 billion today, assuring him of a spot on the Forbes 400). That nest-egg has undoubtedly multiplied many times over through the good graces of the Phipps family investment institution, Bessemer Trust Co.
Phipps' social consciousness, his philanthropy, if you will, was influenced by the famous social reformers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries like Jacob Riis, and he especially was sensitive to the need for affordable housing for poor immigrants who were crowded into squalid tenements on the congested lower east side of Manhattan. So, in 1905, without a great deal of fanfare, Phipps took $1 million from his fortune ($25-$30 million today I'd estimate) and began constructing on the far east side at 31st Street what he termed "improved tenements erected on a business basis," first just for working class white inhabitants.
Thereupon, Phipps was approached by liberal reformers interested in building livable structures for poor Afro-Americans who were streaming into New York from the south. It must have taken courage to begin building 4 to 6 story buildings in midtown on the west side in what was then the area being settled by these black immigrants. Photos at the time underscore the basic decency of these buildings that had heat and light and located near parks.
Phipps was clearly making a statement on behalf of the most discriminated people in the US as civil rights organizations like the NAACP were only just up and trying to gain traction. His basic decency was underscored also by joining with socially conscious, wealthy upper class white Anglo- Saxon Protestants like Mrs. Russell Sage and Warner Van Norden to "contribute importantly to the United Hebrew Charities," which were helping to house the poor Eastern European Jews flooding into New York during those early 20th century years. Stephen Birmingham, the auto of " Our Crowd", the Great Jewish Families of New York noted this unusual courageous trait in Phipps.
The phenomenon of Phipps Houses, begun with only a $1 million contribution, really took off in the 1970s, a particularly bleak period for real estate in New York City. Phipps House built almost 1800 units of affordable housing in the middle east side, some near New York Hospital, and another 731 units in the South Bronx area of Tremont Avenue called Lambert Houses. It also instituted social services operations in all these developments.
I hesitate to give them the down-market image of " projects," because many of them were built right alongside far more expensive apartment buildings. Yet, it's evident from reading John L. Fox's Fox's history of Phipps Houses in " Housing For the Working Class" that some of these " tenements" were built with federal funds for low-income residents, while others were rented to higher income residents at market prices. And the photographs in Fox's book show that Henry Phipps Plaza South and North as high rise building no different on the outside than other east side apartment complexes. Yet, the problem in those years was that some families on welfare did vandalize and threaten the ideals of the Phipps Family.
Still, today, Ronay Menschel, chairwoman of Phipps Houses and a former Deputy Mayor under Ed Koch, tells me that the Phipps philanthropic heritage is "the largest not-for-profit owner and developer of affordable housing in New York City. It presently is adding 1100 more units called Via Verde of its emphasis on "green" design, and for its joint venture with the highly profitable Related Companies. Some 800 New York families applied to live in this complex of 151 rental apartments and 71 coop apartments. Henry Phipps would have been thrilled too see this formerly run down stretch of the South Bronx be so regenerated in better style and form and more grand than his improved tenements 108 years ago.

The La Grange Historic District Commission will be meeting tonight at 7 p.m. on the second floor of City Hall on 307 West Jefferson Street, La Grange, KY 40031
Items on the agenda include two properties:
The board will decide whether or not to issue a historical placard for 101 West Main Street.
There will be a public meeting on the development of Westport Park held on Thursday, March 26, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will be held at the Westport Baptist Church Family Life Center located at 6415 Washington Street, Westport.
Voters will soon receive a new sticker when they turn out to the polls later this year.
This is the second time that the stickers, sometimes used to tell employers that their employees took time out to vote, has undergone cosmetic changes over the years, said Oldham County Clerk Julie Barr.
Barr wanted to create a new sticker to enhance voter turnout and to engage voters.
Congressmen Thomas Massie, R-KY, and Mark Pocan, D-WI, have introduced the Surveillance State Repeal Act, H.R. 1466, legislation that would repeal several federal mass surveillance laws enacted in the 2001 Patriot Act.
The bill falls just short of full-scale repeal, though goes after the heart of the act by targeting controversial provisions, several of which are already up for renewal by Congress this year.
Eager to piggyback on an expected wave of statewide Republican momentum, the Oldham County Republican Women's Club will be sponsoring a gubernatorial debate among all four Republican candidates--Matt Bevin, James Comer, Hal Heiner and Will Scott--on Tuesday, April 7.
The same day, U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, is expected to announce his decision to run for the U.S. presidency in 2016.
The Oldham County Fiscal Court is in the process of potentially approving a system to alert local drivers to interstate backups and delays.
The idea, first brought up by County Judge-Executive David Voegele months ago, would provide local drivers the decision to divert to other local roads if a wreck delays or shuts down Interstate 71.
The problem is that no such system currently exists… yet.
After weeks of consideration, the Oldham County Fiscal Court is planning to move forward with a right to work ordinance, while talking to surrounding counties about joining them.
The Oldham Fiscal Court had a first reading of the measure at its meeting Wednesday, which was rescheduled due to weather. Such an ordinance would forbid unions from forcing employees to pay union dues whether they want to or not. Critics of the idea call it "right to work for less" because they claim it would lower union membership, thereby hampering collective bargaining.
The Oldham County Fiscal Court is authorizing more than $100,000 of its funds over the next three years to help build a new community college building in Carrollton.
The Fiscal Court approved pledging $120,000 over three years to the new Carrollton campus project of Jefferson Community and Technical College at its Feb. 3 meeting.
"The financial committee feel like we can support it and we should support it," Magistrate Wayne Theiss said. "We felt like it would be good for us and good for them."
Six years after its initial planning, the reconstruction of Bridge Hill will begin this week.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced the restructuring of KY 22 between Veterans Memorial Parkway and Abbott Lane, nicknamed the Bridge Hill project, will begin this week after a bid was awarded and easement payments completed.

The U.S. military in Afghanistan says three service members have been shot dead by a man in an Afghan army uniform.
Maj. Lori Hodge says the shooting happened Saturday morning in the southern province of Helmand. She gave no details and said the military is investigating.
The attack is the third killing this week of coalition soldiers by Afghans who are training to take over responsibility for security once most international forces leave in 2014.

We've been bummed out by Jim Carrey before, but that was just his creepy attempts to get Emma Stone's attention. This is sadder. A lot sadder. Like Jim-Carrey-allegedly-won't-go-visit-Jenny McCarthy's-autistic-son sad. "I've tried to ask [Jim] numerous times [to see Evan], because my son still asks," the Playboy bunny and Love in the Wild host explained to Howard Stern about her ex. "I tell [Evan] that someday you'll cross paths, meet again. . . [but] it's hard. He's been in therapy. It's a process, he's working on it." According to McCarthy, her son says he misses Carrey "almost weekly" since their 2010 break-up, which, unless you're made of stone, is the saddest thing you've heard all week. Possibly ever.
Of course, it's harder when Jenny isn't actually speaking to her ex; McCarthy feels she can't contact the actor directly, relying on other "channels" instead. "I think that sometimes people need to take a real break from each other," McCarthy mused. "But I still love him. I think you can love people from a distance and respect him. But as a mother, you just hope when you have a relationship with someone, it has nothing to do with the child when you break up." If you'll excuse us, we just need to put our head down on our desks and cry quietly for a few minutes now. We'll go ahead and put our jackets over our heads to muffle the sobs.

In a recent TechNet blog post by Microsoft Vice President of Corporate Communications, Frank Shaw, it was revealed that the company has a different view towards the PC realm. As many people think that we are entering a post-PC era, Microsoft believes that we are barely getting started.
"I've seen a resurgence of the term "post" applied to the PC in a number of stories. That's human nature and part of the way we like our stories, simple and straightforward, black and white. A new thing shows up, kills the old thing, end of story. But in the world of technology, it's rarely (but not never) that clear cut. Most of the time, in fact, new objects enhance and complement the things we've already got. They don't replace them," Shaw stated.
Microsoft is rejecting the idea that we are in a post-PC era. Instead, new technology such as eReaders, tablets, smartphones, and set-top boxes are added to "compliment" the PC.
Shaw points out two factors that make a PC unique. "There are a set of important things that PCs do uniquely well, and they aren't going away. PCs are rapidly and dramatically getting better at doing the things those companions do," Shaw states.
"Over the years, the PC evolved from word processor and automated calculator to a communications device we couldn't live without - email, instant messaging, evolving to today's always-on social environment in which we tweet, like, Skype, post, tag and check-in our way through the day."
As far as the PC being dead, Shaw completely disagrees. "And that's why one should take any reports of the death of the PC with a rather large grain of salt. Because creating and collaborating are two of the most basic human drives, and are central to the idea of the PC. So while it's fun for the digerati to pronounce things dead, and declare we're post-PC, we think it's far more accurate to say that the 30-year-old PC isn't even middle aged yet, and about to take up snowboarding."
Do you feel that we have entered a post-PC era or simply an era where numerous devices are used in conjunction with the PC? Post your feedback in the comments below!

A man's body was found in the Minnesota River in Dakota County Friday.
The Dakota County Sheriff's Office reported the body was found in an area underneath the Mendota Bridge, which is between Fort Snelling and Mendota.
Sheriff's deputies removed the body of the white man Friday afternoon. It was turned over to the Hennepin County Medical Examiner's Office, who will identify the body.

There's quite a crowd at Knox College on Monday, and classes aren't even in session.
"I want to get a ticket," said Laura Fults.
Fults and the Guerrero family had to rise and shine early. They showed up at 7 a.m., a full six hours before the college started passing out tickets to see President Obama.
The president is set to give a speech on the economy Wednesday at Knox College.
"He remembers where he came from," said Helen Guerrero. "He remembers where he started his career."
Hundreds of guests braved bright sunshine and heat. Some passed the time by reading. Some created shade with umbrellas. Others cooled off with water.
It was all worth it for college student Cassie Sherwin.
"It feels like a historical moment," she said. "It feels like something you should do."
It's a chance for history to repeat. In June 2005, then Senator Obama delivered the commencement address at Knox College.
"When you drive by the old Maytag plant at lunch time, no one walks out any more," he said at the time.
Elements of that speech became a catalyst for his presidential campaign. There was a message about the middle class that's still important. He referenced it in his first State of the Union Address.
Just two years ago, President Obama made a surprise stop at Galesburg High while on the campaign trail.
"We could not be more honored that he has chosen to come here and kick off this tour on the economy," said Megan Scott, chief communication officer for Knox College.
President Obama will revisit that Knox College connection eight years later. It's an economic connection with what it means to be in the middle class.
That theme resonates with this crowd. They know about tough times and disappearing dreams.
"Economically, we're pretty crunched," summed up Dwight White, Galesburg.
Minutes later, there's relief and excitement as folks get their tickets.
"It was really worth the wait," said Tricia Ramos, a Galesburg mom who made the six-hour journey.
Tickets in hand, she'll be ready to attend the speech on Wednesday with her son.
"I'm very excited," she concluded.
All of the crowd is pumped up about becoming a part of history on Wednesday at Knox College.

- people in the U.S. have this name View Russell Bissonnette on Whitepages
Meaning & Origins
Transferred use of the common surname, originally from the Old French nickname Rousel 'little red one' (a diminutive of rous 'red', from Latin russus). Use as a given name may have been inspired by the philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872–1970), who was noted for his liberal agnostic views and his passionate championship of causes such as pacifism (in the First World War), free love, and nuclear disarmament. He was the grandson of the Victorian statesman Lord John Russell (1792–1878).
|206th in the U.S.
North American spelling of French Bissonet, a topographic name from a diminutive of Old French buisson 'bush', 'scrub' (see Bisson).

6. Market your blog or a personal website
Under your contact information, you can add the links to your other digital doings. Such extras can provide a smorgasbord of information about your expertise. You can include videos of speeches or PowerPoint presentations you've given or attach a video résumé.
7. Refresh recommendations
Don't be pushy, but periodically ask ex-colleagues, previous bosses and clients to write recommendations on your profile. If possible, suggest that they upend older-worker stereotypes that a hiring manager might have by highlighting the fact that you are a source of timely and creative ideas or have up-to-date technical skills. Get recommendations from coworkers or managers in several different age brackets, Williams says. Having a younger colleague go to bat for you will send a subtle message that you work well with those younger than you.
See also: How to get along with a younger boss
8. Cull endorsements
Endorsements let your connections select skills and areas of expertise that you've listed within your profile, as well as endorse new skills they think should be included in your profile. Some of these can be off-mark. If so, remove them, or even turn the entire endorsement feature off. You can also delete endorsements from certain connections.
9. Post previous positions
Many seasoned job seekers only list one or two in order to appear younger to their future employers. "This will work against you in the long run," Williams says. "As a mature employee, your experience and longevity in the workplace is what differentiates you from younger job seekers."
10. Spice up your skills
List recent certifications and courses on your LinkedIn profile. "This is key to do since employers often fear that older workers have plateaued and haven't improved their skills," says Williams.

Iowa conservative activist Bob Vander Plaats noted that he was asked this week whether he would run for the Senate in 2014 against Sen. Tom Harkin (D). Per the Sioux City Journal:
"I think about it daily. That doesn't mean I'm going to run against him, OK. I don't know. Our goal is to build The Family Leader right now, and I'd like that to be my long-term vision," Vander Plaats said.
Vander Plaats has run for governor 3 times, most recently in 2010, when he lost in the primary to Gov. Terry Branstad (R). His profile is likely to be raised in the next few months as the GOP presidential race kicks into gear in Iowa and his conservative group "The Family Leader" hosts its presidential lecture series. But how that will translate -- and what his intentions will be -- in 2014 remains to be seen.
Something similar is happening in New Hampshire, with conservative activist Ovide Lamontagne -- who lost by a very slim margin in the 2010 GOP Senate primary to now-Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R) -- already playing a big role in the early stages of the presidential primary process in the Granite State, hosting house parties with potential contenders.
One key difference? The turnaround time. Lamontagne is mulling a gubernatorial run in 2012, and would likely be able to parlay the visibility he gains over the next few months to an immediate campaign starting in early 2012, should he decide to run.

Following a report from earlier this week that claims that Apple is gearing up to launch a new Mac Pro in late July or early August, a reliable source tells 9to5Mac that Apple has referenced a mid-2011 Mac Pro in multiple internal documents. This, of course, is reference to an unreleased Mac Pro. Apple has not upgraded their professional desktop Mac since July 2010. Additionally, these internal documents are said to tout four new core Mac Pro models: 6 cores, 8 cores, 12 cores, and for the first time, 16 cores. This is likely in addition to some custom configurations.
If these internal documents jibe with what Apple will be soon releasing, Mac customers will be able to get their hands on a super-fast 16-core Mac. In addition to these specifications, we hear that Apple has already begun the process of assembling product manuals for the new Mac Pro, corroborating previous claims of a late July or early August launch. Our sources could not confirm if the new rack mountable design, which we detailed, will make its way into the 2011 model.
On a final note, a certain Apple executive has reportedly said the following in an email we've seen:
"Apple is investing heavily into Mac Pro"

Welcome to the University of Southern California Aviation Safety and Security Program. For over half a century the USC program has served as the gold standard of aviation safety management education. The program has developed a reputation for excellence that is recognized nationally and internationally in the aviation community.
Our program was established at USC in 1952 as the first Aviation Safety program at a major research university. We offer 20 courses to nearly 1000 students each year in a personal, hands-on, format. Our instructors are skilled educators with extensive industry experience, and courses are taught in small classes to facilitate classroom interaction. Students gain the knowledge to establish safety programs, investigate aircraft accidents, become expert witnesses, and deal with human factor issues.
Individual courses are designed to provide the student with expertise in a particular subject area. While each course is constructed as a whole and taught independently of the others, those interested in preparing for a full-time career in aviation safety should consider a program of courses that provides broad knowledge. We award the University of Southern California's Aviation Safety and Security Certificate to those successfully completing the required program. It certifies completion of training in the multidisciplinary areas of Aviation Safety Management.
More than 21,000 aviation professionals have come from over 20 nations to attend, including:
- All major U.S. air carriers and aircraft manufacturers.
- Many International air carriers recognized for their outstanding safety records, including QANTAS, SAS and Lufthansa
- U.S. government agencies managing air safety and accident investigations and recommendations – the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board, and the equivalent agencies of Canada, New Zealand, France, Great Britain, Italy, Singapore, Australia, Spain, Germany and Taiwan
- Other agencies – Forest Service, Customs Service, DEA, FBI, INS, Bureau of Land Management, Border Patrol, all branches of the military
- Local agencies across the country such as: the Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles County Fire and Sheriff's Office, the Orange County Fire Department, the Gainsville Florida Police Department, Columbus Ohio Airport Police, New York City Police Department as well as many others.
June 26, 2015 - Online Registration Now Available For All Classes Offerd in Los Angeles

I have a game where units need to run around small spherical planetoids and I created an a star algorithm that uses waypoints placed all around the planet. The game runs fine when testing in the editor but crashes when I try to build it. The annoying thing is it will build every once in a while after I mess with different things but then only works for a couple builds before it starts crashing again. I wrote a custom class for the waypoints that is Serializable and each waypoint has an adjacency list of neighboring waypoints (I set this to SerializeField and it worked for a while). If anyone can explain why this is happening it would be greatly appreciated. More info can be provided on request.
Waypoint.cs: The script attached to each waypoint.

Solved this by instead of each waypoint keeping a gameobject reference to its neighbors it instead says their ID and looks it up in a table when it needs to get the reference.

We would like to share a free copy of our eBook Got Happiness Now?
6 Comments on Got Happiness Now? eBook
Thank you
Saw Lisa Speak at the Wounded Warrior Almuni in San Antonio this past weekend and I just loved what she had to say. It is true that when you find what you love to do, it makes you a happy.
Because, no matter what is going on in your life, you can turn to that "Happy" place, thing, thought, feeling and it is always going to make you feel better. Which in turn is a positive turn in the mindset. I have taught change mindset programs to many people across our platforms of life, I always have told them that when you are healthy in mind, body and soul, then that is what makes a happy person, not the material things in life.
This is what we need – an insight to make evreoyne think
Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive read anhtiyng like this before. So nice to find somebody with some original thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for starting this up. this website is something that is needed on the web, someone with a little originality. useful job for bringing something new to the internet!
I cant't wait to read this book and then share it with my husband!! Thank You
Do you mind if I quote a few of your posts as long as I provide crdiet and sources back to your webpage? My blog is in the exact same niche as yours and my visitors would genuinely benefit from a lot of the information you provide here. Please let me know if this ok with you. Thank you!

I Watched A Man, Named, ' Rain '
Pounding Across The Plains
Running with Cascading Joy
Like a Wet, Happy, Little Boy …
I Found A Man, Named, ' Fire '
Blaze in Life, A Lightning Desire
His Bold Passion – Consuming Power
Sent Smoke Signals, to My Tower
I Observed A Man, Named, ' Ice '
Tho' Frost-Natured, He Did Entice
' … Come Hold Me, if You Dare …
And Find Out, if Cold-Can-Care …'
… I Beheld A Man, Named, ' Breeze '
And Begged Him, 'Touch Me Please …
Gentle, like a Lover's Kiss
Whisper to Me, Things I Wished…'
… and Sitting Content, on This Hillside
Listen Now… as I Confide …
' Rain and Fire … Ice and Breeze '
Don't You Know … You Are All Of These . . .

Management 101 Enrollment Policy
To: Wharton Undergraduate Students
Subject: MGMT101 Pre-registration and Enrollment
Date: March 14, 2013
This memo details enrollment policies for MGMT101 (Introduction to Management). As the course is intended for sophomores and juniors, the majority of pre-registration seats are reserved for them. In future academic years, 23 of the 25 seats in each recitation section will be reserved for sophomore and junior pre-registration. Since there will still be a larger number of seniors who still require MGMT101 for graduation in Spring 2014, however, there will be a one-time exception to this policy in academic year 2013-14, allowing up to 6 seniors to pre-register in each recitation. Here's what this means for you:
- Any rising senior still requiring MGMT101 should request it as first priority during pre-registration.
- Rising juniors should also seek to register for MGMT101 during junior year, as it will be more difficult to enroll subsequently as seniors.
- Permits are only granted in limited circumstances (see #4 and #5). Your request, including your Penn ID number, must be sent to email@example.com. Insure there is no time conflict with your request, as permits are not allowed by the registration system when this occurs.
- Permits are not granted for regular (that is, non-honors) recitations. Students seeking seats in recitations at capacity should continue checking Penn-in-touch for availability, as seats will gradually open as students drop/add. We are also unable to issue permits to facilitate recitation swaps among students (see # 6 for an additional caution on this issue).
- The honors section, in contrast, is by permit only. Ben Franklin and Joseph Wharton Scholars, as well as students in Huntsman, M&T, and Life Sciences and Management Programs, may request permits beginning no earlier than 8:00 AM on the first Monday of pre-registration. After pre-registration, other students may request permits to this section, which are granted at our discretion (typically for students with the equivalent of honors credentials or graduating seniors).
- It is critical to note that when the course is essentially full, dropping a recitation section to add a different one is risky. If the desired seat fills before the student requests it and after the student drops the former one, we are not responsible and are not able to rectify it. When this has happened in the past, we are forced to tell the student to revert to checking Penn-in-touch for new openings, even if an advisor recommended the change in the first place.
One week before the semester starts, restrictions on senior enrollment will be removed so that seniors will have the chance to enroll in any newly-vacated seats.
