Been playing DC Universe and Elsword lately since SE locked me out of FFXIV
League of Legends. Popular games tend to have the best economies, and I love exploiting an economy It's a bit disappointing that when I play a game seriously I get banned for botting (from casting spells in time to music) and when I bot I make more in-game friends than playing seriously. I guess the bot has better social-skills
Some Phantasy Star Online 2, a little bit of United Eleven... nothing too great. Quit Wildstar a week ago...
Even though im in the Archeage Alpha, i cant get myself back online before the CB
RO still MMOOAT,
but it's Wakfu
my current game
great gameplay (combat), very chill
Nothing atm. Waiting on D3's patch 2.1.
I can run any game on high or ultra, but all of the MMOs in English are generic. It's kind of sad how generic Korean grinders from 2005 were usually better than most of these new MMORPGs. Hell, remember the PVP and fighting in Risk Your Life? That game is old, dead and forgotten and new MMORPGs STILL don't have a real open combat system like that. It's hilariously sad.
Only plays Magic DPS Classes, Healers and Machinist/Engineers.
Playing MMO: FFXIV (Balmung)
Waiting On: FFXV, KH3, Tree of Savior, RE:FFVII · Saving For: New Computer
GW2 and WoW. I just switch over whenever there's something new. Right now I'm always on GW2 though.
Jaydude, I'm just curious, and I am legitimately curious, is FFXIV a good game? Because I always wanted to play a decent Final Fantasy MMORPG with the classes and style of Final Fantasy Tactics or FFXII, but I have no idea how to play the last Final Fantasy MMORPG, and FFXIV's combat looks...honestly worse than most other MMORPGs' combat. Seriously.
I've seen quite a few gameplay videos showing a bow-user slowly shooting a guy with a sword and shield at point-blank...and letting him bash the SHIT out of her. At least most other MMORPGs kind of let range-based fighters kite to some extent.
Also, what features does the game have?
I liked it more when I was Samus'es girdle.
currently playing Realm of the mad God. strangely addicting.. other then that I got nothing .
Now the endgame dungeons etc require a lot of coordination, every class has their own role more so than low level content and small errors can end it, There is even pvp but its arena based, I myself haven't done pvp yet though, Gameplay videos don't really give justice, watching is different than when you are actually in the moment playing.
FFXIV is pretty much a play first and see if it's worth your time game, It's a shame they have no free time trials because it would probably net more players.
Final Fantasy ARR and i think its going to be for a while i am really into raiding coil
Not main mmo yet but most i know from vanilla ragnarok online
WildStar is my current MMO. Like it a lot.

429 Air Cleaner-- Original?
Hi all,
I just bought a parts car for $1300. I knew it was a great deal when i bought it, the guy had to move the next day and he was desperate to get rid of it. 69 coupe in good condition with lots of new parts still in box. I got a driveshaft, 351w block and crank, clutch, toploader, c4 with 2 bellhousings, all the original parts, plus all of the parts to convert it to a manual. He also had the pedal assembly sent off to be refurbished, he said that was $500.
Then, i found a 429 air cleaner. The car had 351 in it, and he built a 289 for it, and he had a 302 at some point... but he never mentioned a 429.
It's not in perfect condition, it has some small scratches and surface rust in those scratches. The 429-4v sticker is a little faded, but overall the blue paint is still in pretty good condition.
I assumed since the 429 was so rare, that if it's original it's worth something. Does anybody have any idea what it may be worth, or how i can tell if it's original?
what kind of car? '69 coupe, I can only assume 1969 Mustang.. 429 isn't rare, it is rare for a '69 Mustang as the Boss 429 was the only model offerd with the 429.. however. the Boss 429 engine's air cleaner, would Say 429 Boss on it..
Oops, yes it's 1969 Mustang.
Ok, well i guess it doesn't say that so :(
Many of Ford's air cleaners were used between engine lines. If you look under the hood and the shock towers are at the inner fender lip it is a Boss, if not it can't be. It would also have to be a fastback. I imagine he needed a replacement cleaner or had another and it was included. Most likely a T-bird, although they were in many Mustangs, Torinos and Cyclones in the '71-'73 era.
Ya i know the car isn't a Boss. I just assumed he got it off something like you said. I just didn't think about how 429 didn't always mean Boss.
Any idea how much just an aircleaner is worth?
do some gooogle parts # digging to find out what it actually is....
correct date code/part # cleaners are hard to find....
and priced $$$ accordingly as this Cougar site example shows....

Robotic Process Automation.
Reducing process costs, increasing speed and improving accuracy –
Process Automation with a Digital Workforce.
Supports PCI-DSS, HIPAA and SOX compliant processes.
Supports PCI-DSS, HIPAA and SOX compliant processes.
The Digital Workforce is built, managed and owned by an accredited operational team or Centre of Excellence spanning operations and technology adhering to a comprehensive, enterprise wide Robotic Operating Model. It's code-free and can automate any software in a non-invasive way. In short, it can be easily applied to automate processes in any department where clerical or administrative work is performed across your organization.
Out of the box, the Blue Prism® platform has the functionality to meet the strict standards that you insist upon for security, control, data integrity, change management, scalability, robustness and scheduling. The new Digital Workforce must not introduce new operational risks and should instead dramatically improve your company's operational governance and transactional integrity.
Blue Prism is built on the established and proven Microsoft .NET Framework, automates any application and supports any platform (mainframe, windows, WPF, java, web, etc.) presented in a variety of ways (terminal emulator, thick client, thin client, web browser, Citrix and web services). And it provides a single capability for automating all of the applications used within an organization.
Designed for a multi-environment deployment model (Development, Test, Staging, and Production) with both physical and logical access controls, Blue Prism includes a centralized release management interface and process change distribution model providing high levels of visibility and control. Additional control is provided to the business via a central-ised model for process development and re-use.
Designed with enterprise organizations in mind, Blue Prism is proven to support PCI-DSS, HIPAA and SOX compliant processes, with a large number of controls in place to provide the necessary security and governance, including:
Segregated user roles (developers, release managers, controllers).
Automated credential management for robot access to the network and specific applications.
Audit history for system access, configuration changes and process execution.
Side-by-side comparison of process changes.
Through our use of distributed Software Robots, Blue Prism is highly scalable and can be provisioned in the cloud or as an on-premise enterprise deployment. And the grid based architecture enables high availability, high performance, failover and disaster recovery scenarios to be provided as well as addressing potentially significant seasonal variations in operational demand.
Active Directory integration aligns the user access management of Blue Prism with other enterprise applications. There are also high levels of flexibility for both encrypting the stored data as well as securing the communication between various Blue Prism resources. Secure storage of network and software credentials used within the processes along with a number of safeguards allow for passwords to be completely private from any of the administrators whilst providing full oversight of their use to the IT security team.
This object orientated approach allows for all processes to be updated by modifying a small number of centralised objects
Blue Prism provides high quality data that can be used to drive meaningful BI and MI reporting and identifies both inline process statistics and real-time operational analytics by recording every system login, each change management action, and all decisions and actions taken by each Software Robot. And because all activities and decisions are in one central knowledge base management can instantly see a snapshot of how the organization is performing, where improvements might lie and how new opportunities for revenue and customer satisfaction can be identified.
Training courses are delivered via the self-led online training platform, or alternatively in a more formal classroom environment by a Blue Prism accredited training partner. The strong partner community ensures that there is a wide range of expertise available across all industries and specialisms, and provides support and mentoring for individuals or organizations seeking to gain recognised certification.
The Blue Prism accreditation scheme provides confidence to clients and partners that the members of their Robotic Process Automation team(s) have consistently demonstrated their skills and successfully completed the training relevant to their role (e.g. capability managers, business analysts, controllers and developers).

Matching intake ports heads/intake
I ordred a summit brand intake manifold for my street rod build. I notice that the intake runner openings that match up to the intake runners on the heads are not square with each other and they are a little smaller than those on the heads.
Is this a big deal or is that how they make them?
It's not unusual for ports not to match perfectly. It's not a big deal unless you're trying squeeze every possible horsepower out of your motor. Some folks actually think the mismatch helps with fuel-air mixture by creating turbulence in the intake port at the expense of some flow. Probably OK for a street motor.
I have read more then once that smaller intake to larger head is ok, but not the other way around. Sounds like you're good to go.
If you study fluid dynamics, you'll learn that it doesn't amount to a fart in a whirlwind anyway. Most of the flow goes down the middle of the port. There is a dead space at the surface of the port walls, like the flow in a river. Goes real fast down the middle of the channel, little or no flow at the bank.
Thanks for the replys
Thanks for all the replies. As usual, I was overthinking the whole damn thing. I'm going with it, thanks for the advise.

Twin Turbo SBC build, need help
Ok, I did a search, and found some help, but I'm still in need of some answers.
Looking to build a motor top put down ~850-1000rwhp in a 78' Vette.
Anyone know of a manufacturer of turbo manifolds or headers for Vettes?
What kind of turbos would I be looking at for the numbers I am looking for?
It's going to be a 350ci motor, need some help on the rotating assembly, going forged everything, probably ~9:1, sound good?
As far as heads go would like to use a set of GM Fast Burns with some serious work done to them, will these work well?
I'm nearly lost on blow-through set up carbs and what not, some schooling in that department would be great.
I'm familiar with all turbo components, wastegates, bov's intercoolers, all plumbing, and can work all of that out, just need some help on what works well on small blocks.
Does anyone sell a kit for this type of thing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I`m not much on Turbo`s but I`m sure there are others here that can help, but I will say if you plan on making that kind of power you`ll need a aftermarket block.
Compression ratio seems a bit high to me
I would go with dual T3/T4 hybrids, and your compression is way high if you want 1,000 horse- more like 7.5:1 is ideal. It is possible to run blow through carbs, but I wouldn't do it on this setup, not in a million years. I would go with a MegaSquirt II system. They offer great tuneablitiy, are fairly simple to use and are the cheapest, even if you buy it fully assembled instead of doing it yourself. You'll probably also need to get a custom cam ground, I don't know what RPM ranger you're looking at, but remember to include atleast another 10 degrees duration on your exhaust and a pretty wide LSA (115ish). I guess that should get you started.
This has been discussed many times before, plus all the info is in the Knowledge Base on this site.
Luv the smell of NITRO in the morning.
It is probably possible with the setup you are looking at, but you will have to run race fuel. I was looking into putting a 101mm turbo on a 358 that I have with an air to water intercooler, 9:1 compression and 25-30psi boost. The company that was helping me with it said that it would produce around 1500hp at the crank. That is with 118 octane fuel though. In the end it looked like it was going to be too expensive (around $11,000 for turbo fuel injection intercooler and all the other parts), so I just stuck with the setup that I already had.
The block is a GM Performance ZZ4. Is that going to hold up? Wanting this motor to run on C12 if possible, but obviously not if running fuel injection like some have suggested. Any input on carbs vs. FI on a setup like this?
7.5:1, really?
Thanks everyone and keep it coming

I would go for a Dart block, the one you have may hold...but that's a big risk. If you're racing it though I'd go for a 327 with a light rotating assembly and spin it to the moon- its a lot easier to get hp with high revs rather than down low- especailly with forced induction.
Your goals are not undoable, but I hope you have planned to spend some money. As mentioned you will need aftermarket everything in the bottome end. The fastburn heads are not bad, but I would look at a big port race head like a Dart, AFR or something like that. They dont cost much more and will flow alot more air. When you are talking about making that kind of power you have to have good heads even with the turbos.
As for the turbos a pair of T3/T4 hybreds will not do **** for your goals. You need a set of large T4's and that is still pretty small for 1000HP. I would be looking into going with a large single turbo in the high 70's to low 90's on the compressor inducer. You will want a large frame turbo like a big garret from a diesel application. They will move alot of air and are very comfortable making high boost. If you are not going to do a BUNCH of research, you would be better going to a turbo shop and getting something they have put together that will work for your power goals. There are a couple that sell on ebay that have some nice turbos for decent prices from time to time. If you go to somone like turbonetics you can plan to spend close to 3k for a turbo like that, but there others putting together turbos from rebuilt oe parts that are just as good and 1/3 the cost.
You will want to fuel inject an engine like that. Blow through turbo at that level is just asking for a big boom. It will take high boost to make that power on a small cube small block and EFI is the ONLY way to control an engine like that.
You will not find a company that makes a manifold or headers for that application. You will need heavy gauge steel or stainless steel headers. Stainless is the best, but on a budget mild steel will work at low boost. But, with your power level stainless is almost a must. While velocity is important, it is relative. Typically you keep tubes smaller on a turbo engine, but at that power level 1.75" is probably what you want to plan for. For stainless it will probably cost you 2k to get someone to build them, so consider doing it yourself.
And the lower the CR the better. 7.5 is fine. Lower would be better, but it would be hard to maintain quench and get the engine to run off boost.

Money isn't much of a factor here, well it is but doing a budget 1000hp car is not a good idea in my opinion. T4's were one of my ideas, I just didn't know if they were too big or not.
Don't worry, will be doing tons of research before I even think about buying parts or swinging a wrench.
Help me out with a cost analysis guys, how far off am I here?
Rotating assembly: ~3000
Headers: ~2000
Intercooler and Plumbing~1800
EFI setup~2300
It is 3:30 am right now so Im probably missing a lot, and then of course misc. stuff that will add up, but I'm just trying to get a close number to work with.
Some $'s look off like the cam {look more like $600-$800 for the setup, ie cam, lifters, push rods, rockers, stud girdle} and $2k for headers seems high? But when you have your total multiply it by 1.50 {150%} to get the amount it will take to accomplish your goals.
I would look at building a 7.5-8:1 450 hp combo then use a turbo setup that will yeild about 25psi max boost {but you may only need 20}.
I would plan on using something besides a zz4 unless you plan to mud it and run little or no coolant.
If you're serious about doing research go to turbomustangs.com you can learn tons about turbos there, even chevys! Blow through carbs aren't all bad, if you can tune efi you can surely tune a carb. Will not be as expensive as stated if done correctly.
Since cost is no object, these fine folks will sell you one ready to rock-n-roll.
If you insist on building a stock block grenade, they'll sell you a twin turbo kit that will positively create enough boost to do it.
That banks kit will not even touch 1000HP. Turbos are too small to start and they have those crappy manifolds. I am sure kevin has built a few turbo cars so might as well listen to him on the carb and price thing. My experience and research has been that EFI is BY FAR THE BEST at high power levels. No one said that carb would not work, but for almost 3HP/cid you cant just slap a carb shop holley on it and expect all to go well. You will need a good wideband and datalog equipment just to tune it. Since you can get all that stuff with an EFI setup the price is about the same for EFI as it is for a good carb and all the needed equipment. Not to mention you can tune it from the drivers seat going down the road or in between runs in a drive way. I do all my tuning at the kitchen table from datalog information. All it takes is the data and a little math to correct problems.
You are way low on the rotating assembly if you get an aftermarket block. I would up that 1k at least. You also forgot heads which will run you around 1k at a minimum if you get a good deal. The turbo you could spend alot less if you do some research and look around. I spent $175 on mine on ebay. It is good for close to 1kHP. I also got my wastegate and bov from ebay for pretty cheap. Matter of fact, crank, pistons, rods, heads, efi, injectors, radiator, and other stuff I am forgetting came from ebay. I did my engine on a budget and probably have $7500 in a stock block engine, but it has good EFI equipment and good heads. However, I am looking to upgrade soon after a recent screw up that hurt a couple cylinder walls. I am going to run the stock one till it gives up or till I have the $ for the aftermarket setup.
Not that I disagree with you but the company website disagrees. They state "in excess of 1000HP" concerning the 366" engine they sell. They even have a graph showing over 1100hp. It is worth noting that that state 100 octane fuel and an intercooler was needed to make that much power. With their reputation at stake I don't think they'd make false claims and place false ads.
With that said, I agree that it's easier with larger turbos, more boost, less compression and a big intercooler. However, I don't care how easy a turbo is on the rotating assembly, a stock 1st generation block will not handle that much pressure long enough to enjoy it. I doubt it'd last long enough to tune it for that much power.
We're talking about rear wheel horsepower right?
1200-1400hp at the flywheel would get you over 1000 at the wheels. It's a very different ball game when it's in the car. Yes, I agree the Banks kit won't touch that.

Our customer service has the answer.
J&P Part: 442-952
Fitment Note: Fits Rinehart Duals.
This product was proudly made in the USA
Finish: Nickel-Plated
Manufacturer Part Number: SPZRITD
Sold in Units: Set
The baffle insert worked after some modification. I could not get the original baffles out of my rineharts. Rinehart does a press fit with high temp red silicone from the factory that makes removing the baffles impossible without destroying them. Instead of returning the user inserts I fabricated some set screws and purchased a tiny ratchet to be able to insert the baffles and lock them in. The sound of the exhaust is quieter so I can now hear the radio better. I mapped the ecm with a map for the user baffles after installing them. I am on a weekend trip for the 4th of July and so far so good. Before purchasing these I would make sure you can remove your baffles to install these.
Product did not fit as advertised and was not compatible with the Rhinehart Tips and I would have had to drill holes into the existing baffles and again could not use my RhineHart exhaust tips. I ordered the Smartpartz Quiet Baffle specifically for my 2000 Deuce FXSTD and it was advertised as a "fit" for my aftermarket RhineHart exhaust.....returning to J and P today. Disappointing, I was hopeful about this product.

Sun Power
Every four to six months for the past four years, Chief Executive Scott G. McNealy of Sun Microsystems Inc. has faithfully made a pilgrimage to the Dulles (Va.) offices of America Online Inc. His quest: get AOL to buy more Sun server computers to help run its world-leading online service. Each time, AOL CEO Stephen M. Case turned thumbs down, sticking with machines from the likes of Hewlett-Packard Co. and Silicon Graphics Inc. But McNealy's persistence finally paid off in late November, when Case wanted to buy Netscape Communications Corp.'s popular portal Web site, and he needed Sun's help in handling the Internet pioneer's electronic-commerce software business.
McNealy, known for his stubborn negotiating style, pounced on the opening. But before any agreement would be inked, he wanted AOL to back Java, Sun's software that is fast emerging as an alternative to archrival Microsoft Corp.'s Windows. After nine days of intense haggling, McNealy had gotten more than he ever dreamed of: not only a huge boost for Java but also a chance to sell Netscape's widely used E-commerce software--and finally an AOL promise to buy at least $500 million in Sun servers over the next three years. Crows McNealy: "People know that if Sun can handle AOL's traffic, we can handle anything. It's a real groundbreaker for us."
BRASH BOSS. Suddenly, the maker of whizzy engineering workstations and the faceless backroom computers behind the Internet and corporate networks is the toast of techdom--and beyond. Whether it's the AOL deal, Java's snowballing popularity, Sun's leading role in the Microsoft case, or simply outpacing nearly all its rivals, Sun has finally reached the top tier of the computer industry. Today, more of the computing, communications, and even consumer-electronics worlds are starting to orbit around Sun's vision of how information will be handled in the Internet Age--and those that aren't are scrambling to keep from getting sucked in. Says Merrill Lynch & Co. analyst Steven M. Milunovich: "If you want to know where the computer industry is going, ask Sun."
The brash, 44-year-old McNealy is only too happy to explain it. Death to today's style of computing, he says, where people run individual programs on desktop PCs using Microsoft's Windows. Instead, McNealy envisions a computing world that is more communal. He favors shoving all of today's desktop complexity into air-conditioned rooms full of powerful, networked servers. These big computers then dish up information to cheap information appliances that are almost as easy to use as making a phone call. And by using Java--which allows not just data but programs to be sent easily over networks--mere mortals will get access to an exploding array of Internet services without the need for massive installations or updates of bulky software. "Microsoft's vision was to put a mainframe on everybody's desktop," says McNealy. "We want to provide dial tone for the Internet. We couldn't have more different visions."
That has made Sun the prime foil to Microsoft's growing hegemony in computers. More than any other industry battle, the clash between Sun and Microsoft underscores the mind-bending shifts brought on by the Internet as it forces companies to rethink every aspect of their businesses--and which technologies to adopt. As the Internet becomes more central to how every company does business, Sun hopes to lead an overthrow of the personal computer. "The PC is just a blip. It's a big, bright blip, but just a blip," says McNealy. "Fifty years from now, people are going to look back and say: `Did you really have a computer on your desk? How weird."'
Surprisingly, it was just a few years ago--back when Java was a fancy cup of coffee and Sun was that hot yellow ball in the sky--that many thought McNealy held the weird view. No more. Today, Sun's star has never been higher, and McNealy's vision of computing never closer to happening. Thanks to the Internet, Sun's Java software is gathering steam. Because Java can serve as the lingua franca for Internet programs that will run on any type of device, it is becoming a staple with 900,000 software developers, who have created thousands of Java programs that do everything from providing Web surfers with the latest stock quotes to mining vast corporate databases for sales information. "We know how to `.com' the world," says Chief Operating Officer Edward J. Zander.
FRESH OOMPH. Now, Sun's powerful servers, which scoop up and dispatch information over far-flung networks, are in hot demand from the likes of Colgate-Palmolive, Hershey Foods, GTE, and American Express--none of which bought Sun gear before. That has put Sun's server sales on a pace to rise 30% in 1998, compared with an 18% gain for servers made by HP and a 10% increase for those from IBM, according to estimates by market researcher International Data Corp. (IDC). And even though the Asian flu knocked HP's and IBM's profits down this year and kept their sales growth under 10%, Sun's profits in the quarter ended Sept. 30 soared 21%, to $198 million, while sales jumped 19%, to $2.5 billion. Sun's just ended quarter could be a slight disappointment, though, because the company cut over from a mainframe-based financial system to all-Sun gear, potentially delaying shipment of some orders, analysts say. But demand remains strong--and so does Sun's stock, which more than doubled in 1998, to $85.
And experts are betting that the AOL deal will boost Sun's fortunes even more. By hawking Netscape's E-commerce software along with Sun computers, Sun can attract customers that want a more complete package. And the AOL-Netscape portal adds another powerful dimension, allowing Sun to offer buyers a place for their own online services. The troika also plans to develop Net appliances, most likely using Java and not requiring software from Microsoft. Says AOL's Case: "Sun enables us to make the promise of E-commerce a reality."
Indeed, Java is the fuel behind much of Sun's growing influence. Today, the software is rocketing the $9.8 billion company well past the limits of the traditional computer market. Java is rapidly drawing support from makers of consumer devices such as wireless phones, video game consoles, and smart cards. Cable giant Tele-Communications Inc., for instance, plans to use Java to deliver phone service, bill-paying, and other services via some 20 million TV set-top boxes due to start shipping midyear. Meanwhile, Windows CE, a consumer version of Microsoft's operating software, will be on only 5 million of those 20 million set-tops, according to TCI.
POPPYCOCK. The biggest surprise of all: Sun's McNealy, a Stanford University MBA with nary a technology root, has outmaneuvered--at least for the moment--Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates. While Sun built network smarts into its computers from the start, Gates missed the significance of the Internet at first--forcing a mad scramble to catch up. Then, when Sun released Java in mid-1995 as a programming language that could spice up Web sites, Microsoft publicly dismissed Java's wider potential even as its popularity skyrocketed.
Against all odds, Sun even won the first round in November of its lawsuit charging Microsoft with illegally changing Java so that resulting programs run only on Windows. That lifted a big cloud that had been hanging over Sun for the past year. Says Bruce Graham, chief information officer at food-service company AmeriServe Food Distribution Inc., which is rolling out 25,000 Sun JavaStation network computers to restaurant customers such as Taco Bell Corp.: "They've evolved into the leader of the other camp."
Of course, the other camp, with Microsoft, Intel Corp., and the PC makers, is nothing less than an empire--one bent on keeping its commanding position. They think the notion that PCs will become passe is sheer poppycock and that plummeting computer prices will ensure their popularity. Microsoft, alone, has become much more Net-savvy and is turning its fearsome troops to dominating Internet software and services.
Others are rising to the Internet challenge, too. HP, for instance, recently won big contracts to supply servers to UUNET and PSINet Inc., leading providers of Internet service. Boasting an unmatched 120,000-person high-tech services force, compared with 7,000 at Sun, IBM has won big E-commerce deals to build the online stores for Macy's, Borders, CD Warehouse, and dozens of others worldwide. Says Neil Isford, IBM's vice-president for electronic commerce: "We're hearing customers ask, `Can you do the whole thing for me?"'
Worse for Sun, the PC camp can claim fresh victories in Sun's core business: While unit sales of Sun's workstations are climbing, its workstation revenues are expected to fall 2% this year, because of the low-cost Windows NT machines churned out by Compaq, Dell, and others. And Sun's operating software is under a bruising assault: IDC estimates Microsoft will have shipped 1.6 million copies of its Windows NT Server software in 1998, vs. 167,000 for Sun's rival Solaris, the leading Unix software. "Sun is vulnerable," says John T. Rose, general manager of Compaq Computer's Enterprise Computing Group. "The world is going to be a mixture of NT and Unix."
Indeed, with such price pressure on Sun, it's unclear how long the company can continue to design all its own chips, hardware, and software--and still compete with PC makers that let Microsoft and Intel do almost all their research and development for them. Sun spends 10.4% of its sales on R&D, compared with 4.5% at Compaq and 1.6% at Dell. "We scale our R&D across a vast industry," says Jeff Clarke, general manager of Dell Computer's workstation division. "Sun tries to do it all themselves."
Sun's response: It has faced the same challenges for much of the past decade, yet it keeps confounding its critics. Until recently, few people thought Sun would even be around in the Internet Economy, let alone emerge as a leader. Almost since its 1982 start as a maker of workstations for engineers, Sun has been the perennial outsider. After sitting out the PC Revolution, it's now the last major computer maker still refusing to sell machines that use Microsoft programs or Intel's Pentium chips. And Sun puzzled people with its motto: "The network is the computer." The phrase sums up the stubborn belief that vast networks of connected devices powered by big servers would someday subsume the mighty PC. All that, in the face of the incredible rise of Intel and Microsoft, prompted continual doubts about Sun's strategy, vision, and viability.
The mouthy McNealy, who cuts a boyish figure in jeans and polo shirt, did little to change people's impressions. Playing Don Quixote tilting at the Win-mill, he has slammed rivals' efforts as "big hat, no cattle," deriding Windows as "frosting on a road apple." He even banned Microsoft's ubiquitous software programs from Sun's premises--and brags how much Sun's stock has risen since then. "There have been times when Sun seemed way out of sync," says analyst Laura Conigliaro of Goldman, Sachs & Co. "Yet two years or three years later, we see the rest of the industry moving in their direction."
They had better hurry. Just as the rest of the industry is accepting the notion that "the network is the computer," McNealy is launching Sun on a far broader mission--one sure to spark just as much controversy. He aims to make Sun the prime provider of the Internet equivalent of dial tone.
"A UTILITY." When you pick up the phone, it simply works--you don't have to boot it up. It's obvious how to use it, and it rarely "crashes." That's the level of service and functionality that Sun eventually sees Internet services such as E-mail, Web access, and the like evolving to. And just as Lucent Technologies Inc. provides all the gear needed for telecom companies to run the phone system, Sun wants to offer all the hardware and software needed to build out what he calls Internet "Webtone." Says McNealy: "Information becomes a utility rather than people having a mainframe on their desk."
McNealy's Webtone vision goes beyond just helping companies put up Web sites, which it has been doing for years. It even extends beyond the next step--connecting Web sites to inventory and manufacturing systems, customers, and suppliers. McNealy and his brain trust think the Internet is rapidly changing not just the way people communicate and get infoRmation but also how entire industries are set up. The Net, he believes, is spawning a new class of companies providing services that will replace the way companies use computers and the Internet today.
AOL and Web portals such as Yahoo! Inc., for instance, are offering E-mail and computerized calendars that once required software installed on a $2,000 PC. Now, they're available, sometimes for free, on a Web site with the click of a mouse--or even through a cellular phone, cable-TV set-top box, or Sun's $500 JavaStation, a stripped-down corporate desktop computer. And that's just the start. Already, this utility-like service is spreading rapidly. Customers are beginning to outsource basic computing tasks to Sun computer-powered service companies such as Digex to operate their Web-site backrooms and Exodus Communications Inc. to manage their exploding data centers.
Soon, even traditional business tasks that currently require installing multimillion-dollar software packages such as those sold by SAP and Oracle Corp. will be done through Net-based services instead. This month, BizTone.com, a Malaysian startup, will begin offering over the Net such Java-based services as general ledger, sales order entry, and inventory tracking--things that currently must be installed on company computers. And Oracle will start offering its database software as an online service this month.
Think utilities. Customers pay for services as they use them--much as they now pay for phone service. McNealy is banking that such a level of service requires the reliability and performance of powerful servers like Sun's--which, by most accounts, Wintel servers can't yet match. Convergys, for instance, which provides telecom-billing service, opted for Sun's servers to process some 13 million phone records daily. Says James P. Holtman, a Convergys vice-president: "Sun can scale to meet the smallest and the largest customers."
McNealy hopes Sun's products also can help make computing easier for the unwired masses of consumers. He's rushing to forge alliances with consumer-electronics companies such as Sony Corp., which want to use Java to offer more capable game players and TVs. Ultimately, McNealy aims to provide the means to network not just a couple of hundred million PCs but also the billions of computer chips in everything from refrigerators and telephones to smart cards and high-tech door locks.
All of this adds up to potentially huge markets for Sun that didn't exist a few years ago. Indeed, says Merrill's Milunovich, "Internet computing is becoming the mainstream of all computing." And McNealy aims to be the arms supplier to every side of this new battlefield, pushing Sun past $10 billion in annual sales--to $20 billion in the next five years. Says COO Zander: "We want to be the lumberyard for the networked age."
To get there, McNealy is betting much of Sun's future on software. When he details his vision of computing on a whiteboard, almost everything he scrawls is a software standard, software to write other software, or a software application. That's why Sun isn't stopping at Java. On Jan. 25, it will launch a new software technology called Jini--a variant on the Arabic word from which "genie" is derived. It's a set of software tools intended to cut through the nightmare of installing new devices on a network. "Jini is really about achieving simplicity, so computers can be used by more people," says Mike Clary, Jini's general manager.
HEAVY SHELLING. Big plans. Big enough to counter the world's biggest software company? Not if Microsoft can help it. Microsoft, in addition to its 23 years of experience in software, can offer one big advantage over Sun's software melange: an all-Windows network that's less complex to run. That's how it has persuaded every other computer maker to sell Windows NT machines even if they also sell Unix computers. "Everybody else has put together a Windows NT-and-Unix strategy," says Sam Jadallah, a Microsoft vice-president, who likens Sun's Unix-only stance to Henry Ford's single-color choice for the Model T. "Sun says they'll sell you anything you want as long as it's black."
Microsoft continues to aim its guns at Java. Even though Microsoft has lost a preliminary ruling in Sun's lawsuit, it has persuaded hundreds of thousands of software developers to use its version of Java. Says Ken Morse, chief technology officer for consumer-software tools maker PowerTV Inc.: "If the standard gets fragmented, then Java fails."
Sun has only itself to blame for at least some of Microsoft's inroads into Java. It has often fallen short of its own grandiose promises, releasing some crucial new Java technologies late and changing others too fast for customers to deal with. It also has angered partners by keeping too firm a grip on Java's development--prompting HP, for instance, to team up with Microsoft on developing a version of Java for consumer devices. Even IBM, Sun's staunchest Java ally, wants Sun to release Java to public-standards bodies. Says Patricia Sueltz, general manager for IBM's Java software: "Java is bigger than any one company." Sun has tacitly agreed: It recently eased Java licensing requirements.
For all the challenges in software, this fat-margin business could prove to be crucial to Sun's way of doing business. McNealy, the son of a former American Motors Corp. vice-chairman, has always insisted that Sun, like a car company, must keep building the basic engine of computers--chips and software--oR face losing control of its destiny. But doing so is becoming increasingly expensive.
Thanks to the technology lead that allows Sun to sell more lucrative machines, the company's gross profit margin remained steady at 51% in the September quarter--about double the level of Compaq's, for example. Analysts say that Sun should be able to maintain those high margins at least for the next couple of years. And after that, even higher-margin revenue from Java license fees--$130 million last year--and other software may provide the several hundred million dollars a year to pay for its own chip and software designs. As a result, says Eric E. Schmidt, CEO of Novell Inc., "the cliff in front of the company continues to recede."
Whether all that will prove enough to fulfill McNealy's vision remains nearly as much in doubt as it ever has been. McNealy admits that someday, as more companies outsource their computing to service providers, fewer corporations may buy computers from Sun. That means Sun has to keep redefining itself to survive in the new world it's rushing to help create. "Sun appears to have nine lives," says Charles Fitzgerald, a Microsoft group product manager. "I'm not sure what life they're on now, though."
Most of all, it's uncertain how Sun can continue offering a stark alternative to conventional wisdom--and at the same time serve as a leader for the industry. To reconcile that apparent contradiction, McNealy will have to cooperate much more with others in the industry. Despite recent deals such as the AOL-Netscape pact, that's something that McNealy's often rabid anti-Microsoft stance works against. Says analyst C.B. Lee of Sutro & Co. and a former Sun manager: "McNealy shoots off his mouth too much. At some point, you've gotta be more mature." Even Sun's executives concede it needs to play a more statesmanlike role in the industry. Says Zander: "We now have to live up to a higher expectation."
Can McNealy ultimately transform Sun from iconoclast to Internet icon? Even though he has two young boys and another baby on the way, McNealy shows little sign of mellowing his strident style. On a recent day, he bounded into Zander's office and hung on the door a Bill Gates doll--neck in a noose--that a fan had sent him. Still, McNealy notes defiantly, none of this attitude has hurt Sun where it counts. "It certainly didn't stop us from doing a deal with AOL--even though they're a partner with Microsoft," he says. For now, at least, it's hard to argue with him.

BPI Suit Against ABC News Stands
A circuit judge has refused to throw out a defamation lawsuit against ABC News related to its coverage of a meat product called lean, finely textured beef, which critics have dubbed "pink slime.''
Beef Products Incorporated sued the network in 2012 seeking $1.2 billion in damages. BPI says ABC's coverage led to the closure of three plants and roughly 700 layoffs by misleading consumers into believing the product is unsafe.
Attorneys for ABC say the network in each of its broadcasts stated the FDA deemed the product safe to eat. They say BPI might not like the phrase "pink slime,'' but like all ground beef it's pink and has a slimy texture.

These are leader bios from summer 2014.
Allie is a veteran leader, having had two wonderful experiences co-leading the Japan: Language and Cultural Traditions program. A native of Indianapolis, Indiana, Allie Barnes graduated from Earlham College in Richmond, Indiana, with a BA in art and minors in Japanese studies and theater arts. She spent her junior year studying at Waseda University while living with a host family in Tokyo, Japan. After college, she spent a year serving at a high school in Sitka, Alaska, as an AmeriCorps volunteer. She then worked as a professional photographer at a family studio. As of fall 2014, Allie is working on her master's in international education at SIT Graduate Institute.
Allie jumps at the chance to travel; besides her trips to Japan, she has also traveled to South Korea, France, Italy, Canada, Jamaica, and Mexico. Allie also loves to swim, dance, rock climb, hike, or just park on the couch with a good book or TV show.
A Kentucky native, Josh Moore graduated from Centre College in 2010 with a BA in political science and philosophy. From 2010 to 2012, Josh taught English to Japanese elementary and junior high school students in the small town of Isen. Upon returning to the US, he began work as a project manager at the Japan-America Society of Kentucky, where he planned events to better connect communities in Japan and Kentucky. Josh also has a passion for volunteering in his community, and he has worked closely with the local sister cities commission and a primate rescue center. In fall 2014, Josh moved to the Northeast to tackle a new challenge: he is now a first-year law student at Boston College. In his spare time (of which he has woefully little while in law school), Josh enjoys reading, cycling, and practicing martial arts.
Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, Nick Plimpton graduated from Kenyon College in 2006 with a BA in history and a minor in Japanese. After spending his junior year at Waseda University in Tokyo, Nick longed to return to Japan after graduation. He therefore applied, and was accepted to, the Japan Exchange and Teaching (JET) Program, and from 2006 to 2008, Nick taught English on Aguni Island, a community of 800 people, in Okinawa, Japan.
When Nick returned to the US, he began his medical education, completing his prerequisites at the University of Minnesota, and obtaining an MA in medical sciences at Boston University. After leading an Experiment program to Japan in summer 2014, Nick headed to Florida, where he is currently a first-year medical student at the University of South Florida. Nick is a lifelong traveler, having been all over the US, as well as to Europe, Africa, the Caribbean, Canada, and East Asia. In addition to his love for travel, Nick loves to run, camp, hike, read, canoe, and play saxophone.
Emma grew up in a small mountain town called Nederland in Colorado, where her childhood consisted of frolicking through the mountains and imagining far-off destinations. She graduated from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2013 with a BA in psychology, and during her college years she enjoyed being an extremely nerdy developmental psychology research assistant. Emma has always been on a mission to see the world and has traveled to Copan Ruinas, Honduras, where she taught English; Juarez, Mexico, where she built houses; Akita, Japan, where she studied abroad; and Tokyo, Japan, where she taught English and lived with a host family.
Besides globetrotting, Emma loves running, hiking, re-reading Harry Potter, listening to good music, obsessively watching My Neighbor Totoro, eating Azuki bean paste, and hanging out with her adorable dog Edea. A two-time Experiment leader to Japan, Emma is currently teaching, saving up for graduate school, and plotting her next travel adventures.
I learned so many things. I learned that you can't fully enjoy the experience of being in a foreign country if you're not open-minded. You must be open and willing to try whatever is thrown your way because you could miss out on a once in a lifetime experience.
I think the language training was the most helpful part of the trip. I came here with no knowledge of Japanese and now I can actually read some of the hiragama and katakama. My sensei was also just wonderful and incredibly nice. I also loved the language portion we had and [the] teacher's assistants. They helped with our conversation skills and were always fun to spend time with.
Lizett Gutierrez, Chinquapin School
My host family experience, in my mind, could not have been any better. My host family took me in as one of their own! I usually was watching/ playing with the kids, but I also helped around the house when asked. I learned that the world is just as curious as I thought. By that I mean it was a back and forth learning experience. As I cleared misconceptions, I learned more about culture. As I practiced my Japanese, I fortified the bonds of mutual exchange.

I was offed ten dollar coupons, extra shopping hours, power hour specials, early bird specials, night owl shopping, and three day only sales.
If I had young children, I might have taken advantage of these sales and found a burst of excitement and joy in such shopping.
But in recent times, these ads made me wonder if we're gotten off track somehow.
Sure, I know retailers depend on Christmas sales, but I still wonder what's behind the frenzied shopping, this rush to acquire this year's hottest product.
Is there's a deep need that we are trying to fulfill?
Could it have something to do with our obsession with happiness?
Ask a parent today what they want for their children, and the response is often "I just want them to be happy."
Is happiness the ultimate goal in life? Or do we really seek something more meaningful?
We can own the best of everything, yet be filled with unhappiness and discontent.
We think we will be happy if we win the lottery or get the newest electronic device for Christmas.
But in the famous 1978 study of lottery winners, it was found that one year after winning the lottery, winners ended up no happier than those who hadn't won.
Yes, things were different in l978. But some things remain constant.
Beyond a certain necessary income level, extra money or possessions do not seem to bring happiness.
Part of the problem is that material happiness is often fleeting
I'm often delighted and surprised by a new possession, then the novelty wears off and I want the next new thing that comes along.
Don't get me wrong. I like nice things.
But sometimes I have to remind myself that much of our happiness can't be bought.
It is the result of that challenging, sometimes frustrating, ultimately rewarding endeavor that fits any budget.
It's that gift that's too big to gift wrap.
It's called love.
I wish all my readers much love during these Holy Days.

BOTH SIDES RUTHLESS IN SPAIN; 'Elimination' of Enemies by Execution Is the Rule of Rebels and Leftist Armies
By FRANK L. KLUCKHOHNWireless to THE NEW YORK TIMES. ();
October 11, 1936,
, Section REVIEW OF THE WEEK EDITORIALS, Page E5, Column , words
LISBON, Oct. 9. -- General Francisco Franco is finding it very easy to gain converts on the Rebel side in the Spanish civil war and exceedingly difficult to convince the masses on the other side that surrender would mean a better Spain despite propaganda dropped from planes and passed through surreptitiously to the Leftist side.

text: HARTFORD, Conn., Feb. 27, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Virtus Investment Partners (NASDAQ: VRTS), which operates a multi-manager asset management business, today announced that it has raised $215 million in a common stock offering for its newest closed-end fund, Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund (NYSE: VGI), which began trading February 24 on the New York Stock Exchange. Assuming full exercise of the underwriters' overallotment option, which may or may not occur, the fund will have raised approximately $247 million. The offering was led by Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, and UBS Investment Bank. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090105/NEM020LOGO ) The fund, whose investment objective is to maximize current income while preserving capital, is managed by Newfleet Asset Management, a Virtus affiliate with $8.1 billion in assets under management at December 31, 2011. The Newfleet team has a long track record in multi-sector fixed income investing with an approach that utilizes extensive credit research to identify and invest in undervalued areas of various sectors of the global bond markets. "The Virtus Global Multi-Sector Income Fund gives investors an opportunity to benefit from broadly diversified holdings across the major domestic and international fixed-income sectors, a strategy that offers the potential to generate an attractive yield in the current fixed income market environment," said David L. Albrycht, senior portfolio manager of the fund and chief investment officer, Multi-Sector Fixed Income Strategies, at Newfleet. Under the direction of Albrycht and portfolio managers Benjamin Caron, Kyle A. Jennings, and Daniel Senecal, the fund uses a value-driven approach that first overweights or underweights fixed income sectors on a top-down basis, then uses fundamental research to assess specific investments in the portfolio. "This is a successful and time-tested discipline that we have used for more than two decades to manage multi-sector portfolios, including Virtus' largest open-end mutual fund, the Multi-Sector Short Term Bond Fund," Albrycht added. The fund may also use financial leverage, which is anticipated to initially take the form of a credit facility, to increase investible assets and potentially enhance the level of cash distributions to shareholders.

The Farm Stand: How To Use Figs
Welcome back to the Farm Stand, your weekly guide to seasonal Southern produce.
This week the focus is on figs. Exotic, biblical, unctuous, nature's candy — figs have been called a lot of things, but once you have a pound of them sitting in your kitchen you might just call them confusing.
Although they may be a much more routine part of eating in the Middle East, we grow them just as well here in the South. And being the colorful region that we are, it's only fitting that varieties like The Green Ischia, Black Italian and, of course, LSU Purple grow here.
So let's get fig familiar.
Fig Facets
- Figs are like the Meryl Streep of fruits. From salads to jellies and even simply broiled alone, they can accept any role and win overwhelming praise. If you need guidance as to what fig will fit your recipe's flavors or want to know the color of a certain variety's inner flesh, reference our guide to Fig varieties.
- Finding figs fit for eating can be a sticky situation. You don't want to buy figs with taut skin and stiff stems, but you don't necessarily want ones that are weeping, splitting and generally a hot mess at the farmers market. Slightly wrinkled skin is a good sign, but try to buy ones with minimal splitting and leakage. Folks like those from Petals of the Past at Birmingham's Pepper Place Market, who sold mine, will be happy to help you find a good group.
- Like a sky-high meringue or my mama on a mid-August afternoon, figs too will start to wilt if not appreciated fresh. Although you can put them in the fridge to extend their lifespan, their full flavor comes alive when stored at room temperature so plan to use them within 36 hours.
- Fig season typically lasts until mid-September in the Deep South, but check with your local extension agency or favorite farmer to know the timing in your area.
What to Make
You'll be happy to know that figs also pass the true test of The South: Can you wrap it in bacon? The answer is a resounding heck yes. Try these fig recipes and let us know how you love to eat them.

Hi guys,
I have previously used this site to purchase wordpress templates and I know exactly how to install wordpress, activate the templates and customize them.
I was wondering what do you do with site templates. How do they work?
Any help would be great.
I have knowledge of HTML but this probably isn't enough to customize a site template is it.
I know how to use wordpress templates and customize them but I would imagine this would be a lot different.
There would be no CMS right? I'm guessing you upload the template directly to your host after customization instead of customizing in a platform like wordpress.
Site Templates are indeed not build on top of any CMS .
Themeforest is pretty strict about the documentation which template authors need to include with their template; this makes it relatively simple for buyers with basic HTML /CSS knowledge to use the template to build the site of their likings.
Also, many of the HTML /CSS templates sold here are pretty much complete functional sites (many of them mention how many coded pages are included in the theme).
Generally you're right. A Site Template could be used inside a CMS with a lot of work at ripping it into pieces. The templates here are well written and documented. If you think you're interested in the topic I'd suggest finding one you like, buying it and going through the code. If you can customize a Wordpress template you'll probably understand most of what you're looking at in a Site Template. CSS is heavily used so you might need to read up on that. Good luck.
oh ok i see.
I was looking at some of the hosting website site templates.
How does that work in terms of integrating the payment etc with the hosting theme?
This seems quite complicated? Am I venturing to deep right now?

Cervantes remains found in Madrid convent, investigators believe
By Raquel Castillo
MADRID (Reuters) - Spanish scientists said on Tuesday that remains found under a Madrid convent are likely to include those of "Don Quixote" author Miguel de Cervantes, one of the world's most celebrated writers.
Nearly 400 years after his death, the quest to find Cervantes had led investigators deep into the sub-soil of a 17th century convent. Some of bones dug up in recent months almost certainly belong to the writer, they said.
"We believe that some of the remains of Miguel de Cervantes are among the fragments," forensic anthropologist Francisco Etxeberria told a news conference.
Investigators may never be able to guarantee with absolute certainty that it was his body and DNA tests would be tricky, the experts said. Cervantes had a sister who is buried near Madrid, but only tiny bone fragments remain of her body.
Cervantes - whose masterpiece about an errant, daydreaming knight and his faithful servant Sancho Panza has delighted readers around the world - had requested to be buried in the convent.
The Trinitarian religious order had helped to pay a ransom to release him from slavery after he was captured by Moorish pirates.
He died in 1616 - the same week as William Shakespeare. But the exact location of his tomb was lost in a subsequent rebuilding of the convent.
Historians hope to establish a burial site for Cervantes, considered the father of the modern novel, to attract literary pilgrims and tourists. Madrid mayor Ana Botella said on Tuesday that authorities were looking into the possibility of opening up the site to visitors. Continued...

Restoration and Renewal of the
Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
In 2000
Bishop Howard J. Hubbard launched the
restoration of the Cathedral's exterior.
project addressed the most critical
sections of the cathedral's brownstone
which had
deteriorated to such a point that public
safety was jeopardized.
Deteriorated brownstone was removed from
the 210 foot north tower, the north,
south and west clerestories and replaced
with Red St. Bees Sandstone which was
imported from England.
The spire of the north tower was found
to be leaning some 13 inches over the
street and had to be completely removed
and rebuilt in stone.
A lead
roof was also installed to ensure the
watertight integrity of the structure.
The work was completed by
August, 2004 and dedicated with the
placement of new bronze cross set atop
the capstone of the north tower
(pictured above).

ORLANDO, FL—The Boca Raton Saint Andrew's Scots (20-2) used four unassisted goals from midfielder Tyler Knight to take the Florida state title 14-8 over the Orlando Lake Highland Prepatory School Highlanders (16-5) on Saturday night in front of 2,000 rowdy fans at West Orange High School.
The victory marked the third consecutive Florida High School Athletics Association state sanctioned title for the Scots.
"We're really fortunate, the seniors really bought in to follow up last year's class that went undefeated," Scots Head Coach Jeff Goldberg said. "We graduated nine really good seniors last season and it was just a really great run with these guys."
St. Andrew's opened the game with six unanswered goals and it looked as if they would sprint to an easy victory over Lake Highland. Attackman Will Diamond opened the scoring a goal assisted by A Connor Whipple with 8:57 left in the first quarter.
Knight made his first mark of the game for a 2-0 lead with 6:13 left. Just seven seconds later M Mi Lorenzo won the faceoff for the Scots and raced straight to the goal making the score 3-0. It only took 21 seconds for Whipple to give his team a four goal lead.
A minute later the Scots would record their final two goals just 10 seconds apart as A Matt Bellando scored from Diamond and Lorenzo got his second goal of the game as the lead ballooned to 6-0 with 4:14 left in the period.
"In the faceoff game we did a great job and when we get the ball we're going to have a lot of opportunities coming in unsettled situations," said Goldberg of his team's stellar opening period. "I really credit our long poles outside for creating those early opportunities for us."
As the second quarter arrived, so did the Highlanders getting back-to-back unassisted goals from M Morgan Clark to get within four goals with 9:29 left in the second. Lake Highland added two more unassisted goals from M Malcolm Clayton and M Nick St. Laurent to make the score 6-4 at the half.
The third period saw Knight score his third goal of the game giving the Scots a 7-4 lead. Just 34 seconds later the Highlanders got that goal back as St. Laurent scored his second of the game to make the score 7-5.
Lake Highland got as close as they would get at 7-6 when A Austin Tamayo scored with 7:40 left in the third. Tamayo scored a second unassisted goal to make things interesting as the Highlanders trailed 9-7 heading to the fourth quarter.
The Scots owned the final period scoring five unanswered goals to take a decisive 14-7 lead with just 32 seconds left in the game.
Lake Highland goaltender Warren Berenis had 17 saves on the 31 shots he faced in a losing effort. St. Andrew's goalie Chris Kelly had 10 stops on 18 shots on goal.
St. Andrew's finished the season ranked second in the southeast while Lake Highland is ranked ninth in the Under Armour High School regional rankings.
The Vero Beach Fighting Indians (19-0) brought the FHSAA state title back to the east coast of Florida with a thrilling 10-9 victory over the Altamonte Springs Lake Brantley Patriots (15-4) earlier on Saturday.
Leading 6-3 at halftime, Vero Beach gave up two goals first to Chelsea Pinneke and then to Katie Trahanas making the score 7-5 with 19:19 left in the game.
Back-to-back unassisted goals by Jennifer Leffew gave Vero Beach a 9-5 lead with 13:13 to go. The Fighting Indians enjoyed their largest lead at 10-5 with 8:23 remaining when Gracee Hendrix scored what seemed to be a back breaking goal.
From there, Lake Brantley staged a furious comeback getting three quick unassisted goals from Megan Roth bringing them back within 10-8 with 3:10 left. The Patriots managed one more goal from Caroline Lamere with 18 seconds remaining. Lake Brantley lost possession of the ball as the clock expired on their season.

Please show all work.
If a value of x has a standard score of 1.5, this means that x is 1.5 standard deviations above the mean.
The mean divides a distribution in half. Half the values are above the mean and half are below the mean.

I hope this helps.

More news on actress Lindsay Lohan: she is reportedly headed back into rehab on Monday. This time around, though, she is checking herself in voluntarily, at least based on information from a source close to the actress. This was shared in a feature on CNN.
Ms. Lohan spent some time in jail again after failing a random drug test. She spent 13 days in jail and 23 days in a court-mandated rehab program at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center just last month. The actress was originally ordered to spend 90 days each in jail and in rehab, but was released early. This time around, she spent 14 hours in jail.
Lohan admitted to the failed drug test last week, and sent out the following tweet: "Substance abuse is a disease, which unfortunately doesn't go away over night… I am working hard to overcome it and am taking positive steps."
One positive step is going into rehab voluntarily, something that her dad Michael Lohan, at least according to him, has been pushing for, He said: "Finally, they listened to me." He expressed hope that Shawn Chapman Holley, his daughter's lawyer, would do "the right thing and advises her to go right into rehab now, and show the judge she's serious, because in 30 days when she goes back before the judge he can do whatever he wants."
Lindsay Lohan was released on $300,000 bail. The bail terms called for Lindsay to be fitted with an alcohol monitoring bracelet. A probation revocation hearing had been scheduled for October 22.
