Dutch angle

In filmmaking and photography, the Dutch angle, also known as Dutch tilt, canted angle, or oblique angle, is a type of camera shot that involves setting the camera at an angle so that the shot is composed with vertical lines at an angle to the side of the frame, or so that the horizon line of the shot is not parallel with the bottom of the frame. This produces a viewpoint akin to tilting one's head to the side. In cinematography, the Dutch angle is one of many cinematic techniques often used to portray psychological uneasiness or tension in the subject being filmed. The Dutch angle is strongly associated with German expressionist cinema, which employed it extensively.

Etymology
The term "Dutch angle" preserves the original sense of the word "Dutch", which was historically a synonym of "German". The shot acquired its name due to its popularity in silent-era German films, although one of the earliest recorded occurrences of the camera technique is to be found in the Edwin S. Porter American film Dream of a Rarebit Fiend (1906), itself based on Winsor McCay's comic strip of the same name, already known for its use of surrealist and oblique angles in its drawings.

Method
The Dutch angle is a shot in which the camera has been rotated around the axis of the lens and relative to the horizon or vertical lines in the shot.

The primary use of a Dutch angle is to cause a sense of unease or disorientation for the viewer. Dutch angles are often static shots, but in a dynamic (moving) Dutch angle shot, the camera can pivot, pan, or track along the established diagonal axis for the shot.

History
Dziga Vertov's 1929 experimental documentary Man with a Movie Camera contains uses of the Dutch angle, among other innovative techniques pioneered by Vertov.

The angle was widely used to depict madness, unrest, exoticism, and disorientation in German expressionist films. Montages of Dutch angles are often structured such that the tilts are horizontally opposed in each shot – for example, a right-tilted shot will be followed with a left-tilted shot, and so on.

In Hollywood's classic age, one filmmaker who used Dutch angles often was Alfred Hitchcock, whose early career included time at UFA studios in Germany; examples include Suspicion (1941), Notorious (1946), Strangers on a Train (1951) and The Man Who Knew Too Much (1956).

The 1949 film The Third Man makes extensive use of Dutch angle shots, to emphasize the main character's alienation in a foreign environment. Director Carol Reed has said that William Wyler gave him a spirit level after seeing the film, to sardonically encourage him to use more traditional shooting angles.

Dutch angles were used extensively in the 1960s Batman TV series and its 1966 film spin-off; each villain had his or her own angle, as they were "crooked".

Dutch angles are frequently used by film directors who have a background in the visual arts, such as Tim Burton (in Edward Scissorhands and Ed Wood), and Terry Gilliam (in Brazil, The Fisher King, 12 Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Tideland) to represent madness, disorientation, or drug psychosis. In his Evil Dead trilogy, Sam Raimi used Dutch angles to show that a character had become possessed by evil. In Rainer Werner Fassbinder’s Die Sehnsucht der Veronika Voss (1982), a Dutch angle is used to convey the odd tension that strangers are exerting on the main character.

Tom Hooper frequently uses dutch angles in his work in more creative ways and to reflect the time periods and settings of the stories, as seen in his work on Les Misérables (2012) and The King's Speech (2010). In the 2008 miniseries John Adams, Hooper uses dutch tilts to contrast the American scenes with the more traditional-looking cinematography of the scenes in France.

Power Rangers used Dutch angles frequently under former stunt coordinator and executive producer Koichi Sakamoto.

The Dutch angle is an overt cinematographical technique that can be overused. The science-fiction film Battlefield Earth (2000), in particular, drew sharp criticism for its pervasive use of the Dutch angle. In the words of film critic Roger Ebert: "the director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why".

Dutch angles are often used in horror video games, particularly those with static camera angles such as early entries in the Resident Evil and Silent Hill franchises. Similar to their use in movies, these angles are used to bring about a feeling of unease in the player.

Hook Gang

The Hook Gang was a street gang, and later a band of river pirates, active in New York City in the 1860s and 1870s. The gang was prominent in the Fourth Ward and Corlear's Hook districts immediately after the American Civil War, until their breakup by the New York City Police Department in 1876.

History
The Hook Gang was formed during the mid-1860s following the American Civil War. Based from New York's Corlear's Hook waterfront on the East River, the gang numbered between 50 and 100 members including James Coffee, Terry Le Strange, Suds Merrick and Tommy Shay. The gang became known for attacking and hijacking shipping. One early robbery took place when James Coffee and Tommy Shay forced a local eight-man rowing club at gunpoint to row the boat to the Brooklyn shore. Within 50 yards of the shore, the rowing team were ordered to jump out and swim to the beach while Coffee and Shay escaped with the boat.

One gang member, Slipsey Ward, was arrested and imprisoned at Auburn Prison after attempting to hijack a schooner sailing past Pike Street, killing three of the six-man crew before he was detained by the remaining crew members.

The gang's downfall occurred when a member by the name of Wallace attempted to hijack a rowboat which contained off-duty police detectives on a fishing trip. After Wallace's arrest, the idea for a Police "Steamboat Squad" was formed. The remaining members of the gang were arrested by police in 1876.

Talk:2005 in science

Arrgh! Science ≠ Technology!
(This comment originally appeared in Talk:List of years in science, but was moved here in order to increase its chance of being discovered and responded to before "too long". If there's a better, more actively visited, talk page for this thread to be responded to by sufficiently many contributors, please feel free to take appropriate action to get it moved there; in such a case, leave a link to that new location on this page).

Oh well, here we go again... In the List of years in science and  in science articles (such as the present one), as well as in many other science and technology-related articles, the words «science» and «technology» are bandied about as if they were identical concepts; most commonly done by implicitly equating science with technology. This misleading mix-up/misunderstanding should really not be present in a serious encyclopedia. >:-(

IMNSHO we should therefore try and get the affected articles automagically* renamed to List of years in science and technology,  in science and technology, and so forth (* e.g. [having a knowledgeable person] write+run some kind of script performing the renamings by way of SQL operations or whatever). --Wernher 12:30, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Update: Separate lists of events is, of course, another alternative, but I'm not sure whether that leaves us with the best results either. --Wernher 01:49, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * I think we should those categories together, and rename "_in_science" to "_in_science_and_technology". Anybody have a script? Awolf002 18:55, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Link to external lists/summaries
I think we should not collect a list of external links to other people's summaries. That would get ugly and awkward very fast. I will remove the one just added. Comments? Awolf002 15:32, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

To IddoGenuth: I feel, the addition of external links to other summary pages is not in the commonly accepted spirit documented in WP:EL. I think any notable information at this site should become part of this text, instead, if it is not already. Please, discuss here why you think the link is needed in this article. Awolf002 20:04, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Okay, anybody else watching this page care to comment? Awolf002 14:36, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

 * To User Awolf002: The answer seems obvoius - this page like most pages on Wikipedia should have an external links section which will allow the readers to gather more relevant information. Every year there are many summeries of science and tech published around the web many of the (like the one I mentioned) add information which people won't put in this page but still find interesting.

Well, could you please look at WP:EL? Please, check What should be linked to, item 5, and What should not be linked to, item 8. I think you definitely skirting on the edges with this link. Anybody else have an oppinion to offer? Awolf002 22:35, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

It says clearly in 6: "Sites with other meaningful, relevant content that is not suitable for inclusion in an article, such as textbooks or reviews. " I belive the page I added is relevant as are many others. You are not objecting to what I added you are objecting to putting "External links" on this page - and there is no reason for that as I mentioned before. I also added 3 articles from NewScientist, just to keep things rolling (there are many other interesting and worthwile summeries on the web). b.t.w. I can add some comments on your disscusion concerning the releshenship betwen science and technology (as my P.H.D. thesis conceres the releshenship betwen science and tech).

Ruth Moufang

Ruth Moufang (10 January 1905 – 26 November 1977) was a German mathematician.

Biography
She was born to German chemist Eduard Moufang and Else Fecht Moufang. Eduard Moufang was the son of Friedrich Carl Moufang (1848-1885) from Mainz, and Elisabeth von Moers from Mainz. Ruth Moufang's mother was Else Fecht, who was the daughter of Alexander Fecht (1848-1913) from Kehl and Ella Scholtz (1847-1921). Ruth was the younger of her parents' two daughters, having an elder sister named Erica.

Education and career
She studied mathematics at the University of Frankfurt. In 1931 she received her Ph.D. on projective geometry under the direction of Max Dehn, and in 1932 spent a fellowship year in Rome. After her year in Rome, she returned to Germany to lecture at the University of Königsberg and the University of Frankfurt.

Denied permission to teach by the minister of education of Nazi Germany, she worked at Research and Development of Krupp (battleships, U-boats, tanks, howitzers, guns, etc.), where she became the first German woman with a doctorate to be employed as an industrial mathematician. At the end of World War II she was leading the Department of Applied Mathematics at the arms industry of Krupp.

In 1946 she was finally allowed to accept a teaching position at the University of Frankfurt, and in 1957 she became the first woman professor at the university.

Research
Moufang's research in projective geometry built upon the work of David Hilbert. She was responsible for ground-breaking work on non-associative algebraic structures, including the Moufang loops named after her.

In 1933, Moufang showed Desargues's theorem does not hold in the Cayley plane. The Cayley plane uses octonion coordinates which do not satisfy the associative law. Such connections between geometry and algebra had been previously noted by Karl von Staudt and David Hilbert. Ruth Moufang thus initiated a new branch of geometry called Moufang planes.

She published 7 papers on this topic, these are Moufang published only one paper on group theory, Einige Untersuchungen über geordenete Schiefkörper Ⓣ, which appeared in print in 1937.
 * Zur Struktur der projectiven Geometrie der Ebene Ⓣ (1931);
 * Die Einführung in der ebenen Geometrie mit Hilfe des Satzes vom vollständigen Vierseit Ⓣ (1931);
 * Die Schnittpunktssätze des projektiven speziellen Fünfecksnetzes in ihrer Abhängigkeit voneinander Ⓣ (1932);
 * Ein Satz über die Schnittpunktsätze des allgemeinen Fünfecksnetzes Ⓣ (1932);
 * Die Desarguesschen Sätze von Rang 10 Ⓣ (1933);
 * Alternativkörper und der Satz vom vollständigen Vierseit D9 Ⓣ (1934); and
 * Zur Struktur von Alternativkörpern Ⓣ (1934).

Talk:List of assault rifles

Merge same guns into same table element?
Is there a reason why there are some AR-15 variants on the list (apart from manufacturing marketing purposes)? If we were to put every AR-15 variant and every AK variant rifle here that is renamed by it's manufacturer since it has one part that makes it incompatible since it has different handguards mount, there would be literally hundreds of those here. If it has AR-15 lower (receiver), it's AR-15 variant rifle (and yes, I'm aware that AR-15 isn't technically assoult rifle as it's typically signifying civilian version, but I hope everybody gets the point). Same should go for AKs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.103.134.99 (talk) 14:33, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

SKS removed from the list
I removed the SKS from the list as it does not meet the criteria for being a proper assault rifle.

Common format for names using dashes
I'm not entirely sure where dashes belong, and when. I put dashes in for the ones I know are military designations (M-16, M-14), and didn't put any in where they didn't exist in the guns' respective pages. If I screwed up something or there's a better way to organize something here, please do fix it.

Syncing
This page is currently synced with Category:Assault rifles. I'll try to sync it with "List of firearms" once the parenthetical information is over, probably just by grepping for "assault rifle" or something like that.

SS-1
The SS-1 link redirects to a page about the SS-1 Scud. There is an SS-1 Rifle, but I'm not sure how to link to it.

Proposed new format
I took the first part of this list and turned it into a table with a bit more info and a lot more visual appeal. Do you think it's worth doing the whole page in this style? Since response was positive I am moving ahead with the redesign. It should be ready to move to the article page within 24 hours.

 * The table's not bad, but if you want to fend off the deletion crowd, put the information in context with a little bit of narrative, and write it as if speaking to an audience that knows almost nothing about weapons. Not a lot required, perhaps a little bit about Kalishnikov and about FN, perhaps an explanation about the differences in ammo.

 * Still milcruft, but then I'd rather see the whole category replaced with 'assault rifles are medium-sized firearms useless for hunting'.

If anyone at all knows how to put in a variable sorting mechanism on the page so they can be sorted by a choice date, manufacturure, etc, i would greatly appreaciate this if it is even possible.

New design
I just took the new page design live on the article page. It is basically just an amplification of the previous list except that I removed the red links or any link that redirected to another rifle already listed elsewhere. I also ran across a couple of assault rifles not on the list and added them. The page is still not finished and some of the entries still lack some of the information, but I will continue to add content to the page in the coming days including a proper introduction and probably some more rifles as well. It has been suggested that the general information now located below the rifle's entry be moved to the side so the page can be made sortable. I like the idea, but on my old 1024x768 display it makes the table awfully cramped. I realize the great majority of systems display at much higher resolutions and if someone else wants to do it, I guess I won't complain, but I couldn't bring myself to create a page that looked like butt on my own (really old) screen. ''Phew! That was a lot more work than I thought it would be!''

Talk:War of Independence of Brazil

POV
There wasnt any Brazilian war of independence. greatly biased info. Brazil became independent because the king feared that the Spanish American wars could infect the Portuguese colony, so his son declared the independence of Brazil, but who ordered it was the king of Portugal himself. -Pedro 01:01, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

 * Even though there wasn't a war before independence declaration, it's historically clear that some provinces, like Maranhão, Piauí and Pará, resisted against D. Pedro I, the Emperor of Brazil and former Regent under D. João VI term in Portugal. It take several months 'till the whole country was pacified and united under the new governmnet. The version of the Portugal's king supposed order to his son declares independence is not supported by an expressive number of historicist. I suggest clarification on the issue. Andrelot 23:25, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Calling it a war is misleading. There were unrests and insurgencies. An independence war suggests there was a conflict between Brazil and Portugal, which is not the case. I personally suggest this article be called simply Brazilian Independence. The talk page of the article from the Brazilian Empire suggests that should be divided in smaller articles, this one might be used as a start. Also, historians widely accept and believe the brazilian independence was plotted by Portugal, citing evidences such as Portugal's foreign debt owed to England transferred to Brazil, among others, so your claim is completely false. I support Pedro's comments. Starghost 19:52, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I support the move to the title Brazilian Independence, as there wasn't really a war over this, but only when someone can provide more context for the independence as a whole — not just the resistance there was.

 * I agree with changing the title to Brazilian Independence. And on a side note, I don't think there's any evidence that João told Pedro to take the crown for himself if looked as though Brazil would revolt, although this is the story that is traditionally told. Monikwee 21:19, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Although I can't provide any links to it, I've seen historians at the University of Sao Paulo say there is evidence in a letter from John to Pedro which would say "Lança mão da coroa antes que outro o faça", "take the crown before somebody else does". Also, it is said the Freemasonry publicized a letter of independence.

Mikhail Vartanov

Mikhail Vartanov (Միքայել Վարդանով, February 21, 1937 – December 29, 2009) was a Soviet filmmaker and cinematographer who made significant contribution to world cinema with the documentary films Parajanov: The Last Spring and Seasons.

He is considered an important cinematographer and documentarian of his generation, noted for artistic collaborations with Sergei Parajanov and such influential documentary films as Parajanov: The Last Spring, The Seasons (directed by Artavazd Peleshyan), The Color of Armenian Land, and a series of essays including The Unmailed Letters.

Early career
Vartanov's debut film, The Color of Armenian Land, marked the beginning of his trademark style, afterwards dubbed as the "direction of undirected action." This documentary, featuring a stylized silent commentary by painter Martiros Saryan, also featured Vartanov's friends, the dissident artists Minas Avetisyan and Sergei Parajanov. The film was censored in the Soviet Union; leading up to Avetisyan's assassination and Parajanov's imprisonment shortly after.

Friendship with Sergei Parajanov and the blacklist
Mikhail Vartanov had a close relationship with imprisoned director Sergei Parajanov. He was first acquainted with Parajanov's work in 1964, having watched the latter's film Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors and the test footage of the unfinished Kiev Frescoes as a student at Moscow’s Gerasimov Institute of Cinematography. Their lifelong friendship began after they met for the first time in 1967, in Armenia, and discussed the screenplay of The Color of Pomegranates (also known as Sayat Nova).

Vartanov's next film Autumn Pastoral—written by Artavazd Peleshyan and scored by composer Tigran Mansurian—was shelved. After Sergei Parajanov was arrested in Kiev in 1973, Vartanov immediately protested to the Prosecutor General of Ukraine. The recently declassified document proved that it was that letter in support of Parajanov that prompted the intensified harassment that Vartanov endured, and his subsequent firing from the Armenfilm Studios 4 months after Paradjanov's imprisonment. In a letter from prison, Parajanov wrote to Vartanov: "You and your purity are colliding with circumstances and predators… That's life."

Cinematographer
Peleshyan and Gennadi Melkonian petitioned the Soviet Russian and Armenian authorities to work with Vartanov, who was by this time blacklisted and unemployed, and he was eventually allowed to participate as a cinematographer in two essay films: The Seasons (also translated as The Seasons of the Year, 1975) and The Mulberry Tree (1979).

Essayist
After a 9-year absence from directing, Vartanov was asked to save a troubled project, The Roots (1983) which he later wrote was "the best film made in Armenia that year." During this period he also worked as a university professor of cinema and photography, while publishing his writings. They appeared in several languages, including French, in Cahiers du cinéma.

Later career and death
For over 20 years, Vartanov's films had been largely suppressed, unmentioned by press, or blocked from submission to foreign film festivals. In a letter to the imprisoned Parajanov, Vartanov wrote, quoting his favorite poet Boris Pasternak: "the time will come and the power of meanness and malice would be overcome by the spirit of kindness." Parajanov responded to Vartanov: "Dear Misha, I received your amazing letter... Never have you been more accurate in evaluating the world and expressing yourself...".

Mikhail Vartanov's last documentary trilogy consisted of The Color of Armenian Land (1969), Minas: A Requiem (1989), and the influential film Parajanov: The Last Spring (1992).

Vartanov died in Hollywood on December 29, 2009.

Legacy
Parajanov-Vartanov Institute was established in Hollywood in 2010 to study, preserve and promote the artistic legacies of Sergei Parajanov and Mikhail Vartanov.

Quotes
"In our land, the government manufactures the biography of the Artist. It honors and awards one, for nothing, and it dishonors and imprisons the other -- a wise government -- it desires to turn both into obedient slaves."

"Probably, besides the film language suggested by Griffith and Eisenstein, the world cinema has not discovered anything revolutionarily new until the 'Color of Pomegranates,' not counting the generally unaccepted language of the 'Andalusian Dog' by Bunuel."

Academy of Holy Angels

Academy of Holy Angels (AHA) is a private Catholic high school in Richfield, Minnesota. Located in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, the nationally recognized college-preparatory school educates more than 600 students each year, with students in grades nine through twelve coming from across the Twin Cities metropolitan area.

History
The Academy of Holy Angels was founded by the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet on October 2, 1877, the feast of the Holy Guardian Angels. Originally a day school for girls, it was housed in the Merritt House in Minneapolis, but moved several times in its early years (first to the Ankeny home, then the Skyles house, and finally the Bassett property in 1882). The same year, it became a boarding school and day school for girls in grade school and high school. Sister St. John Ireland, CSJ, was the first directress.

It moved to its present-day location at Nicollet and 66th Street on Sept. 15, 1931, amidst a record-breaking heat wave of 104 degrees. It opened its doors to 107 students grades 1–12, having merged with the nearby St. Margaret's Academy high school some years before, with Sister Eugenia Maginnis, CSJ, as principal. Still an all-girls school, it attracted students from across the Midwest, and 182 girls enrolled by the end of the first year. The original grounds included a formal English garden in the courtyard, tennis courts, a 9-hole golf course, and an ice skating rink during the winter. High school tuition (grades 9–12) was $50.

On May 2, 1932, Academy of Holy Angels was formally accredited, and has maintained an accreditation ever since. The first graduating class contained just 13 girls. By 1943, Holy Angels had discontinued its grade school but continued to offer Kindergarten until 1946, when St. Peter's Church next door opened its parish elementary school. The 1952–53 school year was the last year for boarders to live at Holy Angels, and 1953 marked the beginning of Holy Angels solely as a day school.

In 1972, the school officially became coeducational, opening its doors to 128 new male students; the first four-year, co-ed class graduated in 1976. Because the school was now co-ed, the Angies became the co*Stars and varsity athletics began. The Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet "turned governance of the school over to a lay board of directors", but continue to own the school for the time being, renting it to AHA at a cost of $1 per year. In 1989, the Holy Angels theater school officially opened; a middle school was also established, but closed just 9 years later.

The first of two StarDomes was built in 1996, adding "a $2 million, year-round athletic facility" to campus (making Holy Angels the first high school in the United States to have a facility of this type). The complex includes bleachers, a concession building and a playing field, which consists of field turf, and features a removable dome to make the field playable during the winter months. Two years later, campus classroom space was expanded by 15% in a substantial renovation project. The 26-acre campus was officially purchased from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Carondelet in 2003; the same year, a 70,000-square-foot addition opened. Both projects were supported by a $5 million fundraising campaign.

In 2000, Holy Angels became the first private school to receive an Ethics in Curriculum Award from the Minnesota Academic Excellence Foundation. The same year, the St. John the Evangelist Chapel was refurbished and rededicated, and the new greenhouse opened. Athletic programs continued to grow, and in 2005, Holy Angels became the first high school ever in Minnesota to win both girls' (Class A) and boys' (Class AA) hockey state championships the same year.

By 2007, AHA had begun Project Laptop, equipping the 9th grade class with a personal computer for academic use. A version of the program continues today, although technology has been updated and improved substantially over the years. 2011 saw the retirement of former AHA President Jill Reilly, to be succeeded by current President Tom Shipley. The same year, the STEM diploma program opened. In 2019, a second StarDome was completed.

Service day
Service: In addition to yearly service requirements (75 hours to be completed before graduation), students participate in an annual All School Service Day, a yearly family Christmas Basket Drive (a tradition continued since the 1940s), and Campus Ministry Team, among other opportunities. AHA's Faith in Action program also aims to "incorporate service and spirituality into all aspects of AHA life", including sports, activities, and clubs; over 25 teams participate, contributing 2,000+ service hours.

Academics
The Academy of Holy Angels is currently accredited through AdvancedED. 19 AP courses are offered to sophomores, juniors, and seniors; in 2015, 230 students participated in the AP program (81% of senior class, 72% of junior class).

In addition to regular coursework, students can pursue a Theater Diploma and/or a STEM Diploma, and earn language certificates through the Minnesota Department of Education.

Extracurriculars
Holy Angels currently offers 52 extra-curricular activities. These include Book Club, bowling, Knowledge Bowl, Math Stars, music, National Honor Society, Respect Life, robotics, skeet & trap, Social Justice Club, speech, student newspaper (the Blue & Gold), table tennis, theater (Starlight Productions), and Writers' Club, among others.

Athletics
Holy Angels participates in the Tri-Metro Conference, which is part of the Minnesota State High School League. Since 2017, AHA has made over 37 state appearances. The AHA mascot, Shiner the Angel, though retired for some years, was reintroduced recently.

Fall sports: cross country, dance club, football, soccer, swimming, tennis, and volleyball.

Winter sports: alpine skiing, basketball, dance team, hockey, Nordic ski, and swimming.

Summer sports: baseball, golf, lacrosse, softball, tennis, and track & field.

Theater
Since 1931, Holy Angels has been a sponsor of theatrical arts. Besides offering 15 courses in the acting and design/technical disciplines, students can choose to enroll in the AHA Theater School, working toward a theater diploma in addition to their regular programs of study.

Today, the Holy Angels theater department, Starlight Productions, produces three shows each year: a fall play, a spring musical, and an entry into the MSHSL State One Act competition. Since first participating in 1989, Holy Angels has received a star rating ten times: in 1989, 1993, 1997, 1998, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2015, and 2016. AHA currently participates in the Section 6AA One Act class.

Graduates have gone on to perform and study at the Guthrie Theater, Theatre de la Jeune, the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Carnegie Mellon University, Webster Conservatory, Tisch School for the Arts, and Broadway.

Appalachian Development Highway System

The Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS) is a series of highway corridors in the Appalachia region of the eastern United States. The routes are designed as local and regional routes for improving economic development in the historically isolated region. It was established as part of the Appalachian Regional Development Act of 1965, and has been repeatedly supplemented by various federal and state legislative and regulatory actions. The system consists of a mixture of state, U.S., and Interstate routes. The routes are formally designated as "corridors" and assigned a letter. Signage of these corridors varies from place to place, but where signed are often done so with a distinctive blue-colored sign.

The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) forecast benefits of ADHS' completion by FY 2045 as the creation of 47,000 new jobs and $4.2 billion in gross regional product (GRP).

History
In 1964, the President's Appalachian Regional Commission (PARC) reported to Congress that economic growth in Appalachia would not be possible until the region's isolation had been overcome. Because the cost of building highways through Appalachia's mountainous terrain was high, the region's local residents had never been served by adequate roads. The existing network of narrow, winding, two-lane roads, snaking through narrow stream valleys or over mountaintops, was slow to drive, unsafe, and in many places worn out. The nation's Interstate Highway System, though extensive through the region, was designed to serve cross-country traffic rather than local residents.

The PARC report and the Appalachian governors placed top priority on a modern highway system as the key to economic development. As a result, Congress authorized the construction of the Appalachian Development Highway System (ADHS) in the Appalachian Development Act of 1965. The ADHS was designed to generate economic development in previously isolated areas of the 13 Appalachian states, supplement the interstate system, and provide access to areas within the region as well as to markets in the rest of the nation.

The ADHS is currently authorized at 3090 mi, including 65 mi added in January 2004 by Public Law 108–199. A decade into construction, delays and cost increases mounted, attributed to:
 * highway construction cost inflation
 * upgraded construction guidelines following then-current Interstate Highway standards
 * revised relocation assistance requirements
 * delays associated with environmental protection, and
 * Federal funding limitations

Periodic ADHS Completion Plan Reports were compiled to assess construction and the remaining cost-to-complete (C-to-C) forecasts, excerpts listed below.
 * {| class="wikitable"

! Date ! Open or constructing ! Forecast C-to-C
 * 1976
 * 1237 mi
 * $7.9 B

 * 2023
 * 2837 mi
 * $9.7 B
 * }
 * 2023
 * 2837 mi
 * $9.7 B
 * }
 * }

By FY 2023, 2837 mi – 91.8 percent of the authorized distance – were complete, open to traffic, or under construction. Many of the remaining miles will be among the most expensive to build. The ARC (the state governors) remain involved prioritizing, sequencing remaining corridor work. By 2040, 100% of ADHS' project miles are expected to be complete and open to traffic or, at least, partially complete.

Corridor Z across southern Georgia is not part of the official system, but has been assigned by the Georgia Department of Transportation.

Economic Results
Historically, highway investment has served as the basis for many US regional development policies and in 2008 the ADHS was deemed one of the more comprehensive programs to use the approach. To evaluate the effectiveness of such investments, land change modeling was used to compare 1976 "pre-" and 2002 "post-" highway conditions. The study focused on Ohio's SR-32 portion of Corridor D and the 15 counties in close proximity; Adams, Athens, Brown, Clermont, Gallia, Highland, Hocking, Jackson, Meigs, Morgan, Pike, Ross, Scioto, Vinton, and Washington Counties. Using data acquired from the Landsat system of earth observational satellites, the comparison revealed slight, yet significant, levels of urban expansion within a 10 km band surrounding the new highway. Beyond this band land use was more stable, indicating even minor distance increases from the highway reduced the likelihood of further development. Detrimentally, by 2016 new business growth along the corridor was drawing consumer traffic away from adjacent towns causing revenue loss and unintended consequences for the preexisting town-centered businesses.

A 2016 economic assessment of ADHS' construction found regions of Appalachia benefitting differently. Case studies found some boosting tourism income, while others increased industrial activity or commercial/retail activity. Some regions had strong economic growth while others were dormant, the effects dependent on the pre-existing nature of the corridor, its population and workforce, its economic profile and proximity to surrounding business centers or markets. Case study excerpts from five corridors were:

 * Corridor B (North Carolina and Tennessee). Though 305.5 mi in total, this case study focused on the 88 mi segment of Corridor B completed in 2003, passing through the Blue Ridge Mountains to connect western North Carolina with northeastern Tennessee. This project enabled improved access to the Port of Charleston and new residential and commercial developments near Weaverville, North Carolina. The highway led to a direct increase of around 4,600 new jobs in the area.

 * Corridor D (Ohio & West Virginia). Its eastern 70 mi segment was completed in 1977, connecting interstates I-77 and I-79. This eastern segment shifted its economy from heavy industry into healthcare, education, government and education services. The highway also helped retain indigenous manufacturing activities and enabled around 1,000 new jobs.

 * Corridor E (Maryland). Completion of this link (now part of I-68) enabled the region to boost its pre-existing tourism economy by drawing residents from Washington, DC and Baltimore; expand its pre-existing manufacturing and create new distribution (supply chain) activities. The highway project enabled an estimated 900 new jobs in the region.

 * Corridor Q (Kentucky and Virginia). Improved connectivity through this mountainous region increased commuting range, facilitated commercial and retail development in several communities, development of an industrial park and a small business incubator. The highway had direct impact adding around 6,250 new jobs along the corridor.

 * Corridor T (New York State). Locally known as the Southern Tier Expressway and becoming I-86 in 1998, this project saw economic gains with manufacturing jobs at several industrial parks, tourism jobs at a ski resort and a casino and service jobs at a call center. The corridor was critical in the establishment and expansion of manufacturing facilities for diesel engines, furniture and advanced ceramics – all needing interstate trucking connectivity. Over time, the highway was credited with generating over 3,200 jobs in the region.

A 2016–2019 study reported that the cumulative ADHS construction efforts had led to economic net gains of $54 billion (approximately 0.4 percent of national income) and had boosted incomes in the Appalachian region by reducing the costs of trade. The 2021 ADHS Cost-to-Complete Estimate Report reiterated previous compilations that construction investments made between 1965–2015 contributed to the annual generation of over $19.6 B additional Appalachian business sales, representing $9+ B added GRP. Usage of the ADHS was saving 231 million hours of travel time annually, equivalent to a $10.7 B savings in transportation costs and worker productivity per year. The increased economic activity was helping to maintain or create over 168,000 jobs across the 13 Appalachian states. In 2021 ARC forecast that by 2045 ADHS' construction expenses would yield a return on investment (ROI) of 3.7, meaning $3.70 in benefits for every $1.00 invested in construction.

Employment gains credited to the ADHS were 16,270 new Appalachian jobs as of 1995; 42,190 by 2015.

Corridor A
Corridor A is a highway in the states of Georgia and North Carolina. It travels from Interstate 285 (I-285) north of Atlanta northeast of I-40 near Clyde, North Carolina. I-40 continues east past Asheville, where it meets I-26 and Corridor B.

In Georgia, Corridor A travels along the State Route 400 (SR 400) freeway from I-285 to the SR 141 interchange southwest of Cumming. From here to Nelson, near the north end of I-575, Corridor A has not been constructed; its proposed path is near that of the cancelled Northern Arc. It begins again with a short piece of SR 372, becoming SR 515 when it meets I-575. SR 515 is a four-lane divided highway all the way to Blairsville. From Blairsville to North Carolina, the corridor has not been built, and SR 515 is a two-lane road.

The short North Carolina Highway 69 (NC 69) takes Corridor A north to U.S. Route 64 (US 64) near Hayesville. Corridor A turns east on US 64, and after some two-lane sections, it becomes a four-lane highway. Corridor A switches to US 23 near Franklin, and meets the east end of Corridor K near Sylva. From Sylva to its end at I-40 near Clyde, Corridor A uses the Great Smoky Mountains Expressway, which carries US 23 most of the way and US 74 for its entire length.

Corridor A-1
Corridor A-1 uses US 19/SR 400 from the point that Corridor A leaves it, at SR 141 near Cumming, northeast to SR 53 near Bright. SR 400 continues northeast as a four-lane highway from SR 53 to SR 60 south of Dahlonega; this section was built "with APL funds as a local access road".

Corridor B
Corridor B is a highway in the states of North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. It generally follows U.S. Route 23 (US 23) from Interstate 26 (I-26) and I-40 near Asheville, North Carolina, north to Corridor C north of Portsmouth, Ohio.

Corridor B uses I-240 from its south end into downtown Asheville, where it uses US 23 (current and future Interstate 26) to Kingsport, Tennessee. The US 23 freeway ends at the Tennessee–Virginia state line, but US 23 is a four-lane divided highway through Virginia and into northeastern Kentucky.

At Greysbranch, Kentucky, Corridor B leaves US 23 to turn east on Kentucky Route 10 (KY 10) over the two-lane Jesse Stuart Memorial Bridge into Ohio. The short Ohio State Route 253 (OH 253) connects the bridge to US 52, a freeway that takes Corridor B north to Wheelersburg. US 52 continues west to Portsmouth, the proposed alignment of Corridor B continues north and northwest along Ohio State Route 823 to US 23 near Lucasville. The part of Corridor B north of SR 253 is also part of the I-73/74 North–South Corridor.

Corridor B-1
Corridor B-1 travels from KY 10 to the north end of the Portsmouth Bypass. In Kentucky, it follows US 23 and US 23 Truck; after crossing the two-lane Carl Perkins Bridge into Ohio, it uses current and planned SR 852—a western bypass of Portsmouth—and US 23. Corridors B and B-1 both end near Lucasville, where Corridor C continues north along US 23 to Columbus.

Corridor C
Corridor C is a highway in the U.S. state of Ohio. It is part of U.S. Route 23 (US 23), traveling from the north end of Corridor B near Lucasville north to Interstate 270 (I-270) south of Columbus. , most of the road is a four-lane divided highway, but there are a few gaps yet to be built. Corridor C is part of the I-73/I-74 North–South Corridor.

Corridor C-1
Corridor C-1 is a connector from Corridor C near Chillicothe southeast to Corridor D near Jackson, Ohio, along US 35. It has been completed as a four-lane highway.

Corridor D
Corridor D travels east–west from Interstate 275 (I-275), near Cincinnati, Ohio, to I-79, near Bridgeport, West Virginia. The corridor uses Ohio State Route 32 (SR-32) and U.S. Route 50 (US 50).

Decades after its completion Corridor D has provided mixed results- beneficial infrastructure improvements, but ARC's goal for regional prosperity still unmet. Economic growth is evident in the corridor's western counties; several new hospitals, large car dealerships and several fast food restaurants were added along the highway. The Brown County Campus of Southern State Community College opened near Mount Orab, in a region where "there were no (previous) options for students, they had to drive an hour". The Mercy Health Mount Orab Medical Center and the Adams County Regional Medical Center were built alongside SR-32. In 2006 a Southern Ohio Medical Center outreach branch opened in Adams County near the SR-32 & SR-41 intersection at Peebles. Pike County's county seat, Jackson, has a developing retail thoroughfare running between SR-32 and its historic downtown. But the corridor's anticipated regional prosperity never occurred. Counties along the corridor still have per capita median incomes below the state average and 20-35% below the national average; the gaps are not narrowing.

Corridor E
Interstate 68 (I-68) is a 112.6 mi Interstate highway in the U.S. states of West Virginia and Maryland, connecting I-79 in Morgantown to I-70 in Hancock. I-68 is also Corridor E of the Appalachian Development Highway System. From 1965 until the freeway's construction was completed in 1991, it was designated as U.S. Route 48 (US 48). In Maryland, the highway is known as the National Freeway, a homage to the historic National Road, which I-68 parallels between Keysers Ridge and Hancock. The freeway mainly spans rural areas, and crosses numerous mountain ridges along its route. A road cut constructed for it through Sideling Hill exposed geological features of the mountain and has become a tourist attraction.

US 219 and US 220 travel concurrently with I-68 in Garrett County and Cumberland, Maryland, respectively, and US 40 overlaps with the freeway from Keysers Ridge to the eastern end of the freeway at Hancock.

The construction of I-68 began in 1965 and lasted for about 25 years, being completed on August 2, 1991. While the road was being built, it was predicted that the completion of the road would improve the economic situation along the corridor. The two largest cities connected by the highway are Morgantown and Cumberland, both with populations of fewer than 30,000 people. Despite the fact that the freeway serves no large metropolitan areas, I-68 provides a major transportation route in western Maryland and northern West Virginia and also provides an alternative to the Pennsylvania Turnpike for westbound traffic from Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.

There have been several major planned road projects that would affect the freeway's corridor, which, due to major funding issues, are unlikely to be completed. These include a plan to extend I-68 to Moundsville, West Virginia, and the plan to link the Mon–Fayette Expressway, a toll highway which meets I-68 east of Morgantown, to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Corridor F
Corridor F is a highway in the U.S. states of Tennessee and Kentucky. It travels from Interstate 75 (I-75) in Caryville, Tennessee, northeasterly to Corridor B (U.S. Route 23 (US 23)) near Kentucky. Corridor F uses US 25W and Tennessee State Route 63 (SR 63) from I-75 to Corridor S (US 25E) in Harrogate, Tennessee. There, it turns northwest along US 25E, passing through the Cumberland Gap Tunnel into Kentucky. It leaves US 25E in Pineville, Kentucky, turning northeasterly along US 119, past an intersection with Corridor I (Kentucky Route 15 (KY 15)) in Whitesburg, to its end at Corridor B.

Corridor G
Corridor G is a highway in the U.S. states of Kentucky and West Virginia that follows the route of U.S. Route 119 (US 119) from Pikeville, Kentucky, to Charleston, West Virginia. Construction on the road began in 1972 in West Virginia and 1974 in Kentucky, but it was more than two decades before the road was completed in either state. The full length of Corridor G in West Virginia was completed in 1997, but Kentucky's last segment was not opened until 2008.

Corridor H
Corridor H is a highway in the U.S. states of West Virginia and Virginia. It travels from Weston, West Virginia to Strasburg, Virginia. In December 1999, a settlement agreement was reached, providing the framework for resumption of final design, right-of-way acquisition and construction activities on the Corridor H highway project. Corridor H is the only corridor highway that remains incomplete in the State of West Virginia. It begins at I-79 in Weston and will end at I-81 in Strasburg when complete. Virginia's portion of Corridor H runs from the West Virginia state line to I-81 at Strasburg, Virginia. The building of Corridor H was controversial, arousing strong passions for and against. Decades of public debate and legal battles aired the essential question of whether previously isolated areas should be preserved or opened to development. Despite the controversy, about 75 percent of the highway had been completed as of 2013. The highway is open from the Weston exit of I-79 to Kerens, Randolph County and an additional section of the four-lane is open from the Grant-Tucker county line to Wardensville as of July 2016.

Corridor I
Corridor I is a highway in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It travels from Interstate 64 (I-64) southeasterly along the Mountain Parkway and Kentucky Route 15 (KY 15) to Corridor F (U.S. Route 119 (US 119)) in Whitesburg. Corridor I meets Corridor R (Mountain Parkway) near Campton and Hal Rogers Parkway and KY 80 in Hazard.

Corridor J
Corridor J is a highway in the U.S. states of Tennessee and Kentucky. It travels from the end of Interstate 24 (I-24) in Chattanooga, Tennessee, north to I-75 in London, Kentucky.

Corridor J uses U.S. Route 27 (US 27) from Chattanooga north to Soddy-Daisy. There it turns northwest on State Route 111 (SR 111), eventually curving to the north via Dunlap, Sparta, and Cookeville to Livingston. Then it turns northwest on SR 52 to Celina and northeast on SR 53 to Kentucky.

Upon crossing into Kentucky, Corridor J becomes Kentucky Route 61 (KY 61), heading north to Burkesville. There it turns east on KY 90, which it follows to Burnside. Corridor J turns north on US 27 at Burnside, quickly turning northeast on KY 914 to bypass downtown Somerset and then east on KY 80 to London.

Listed in a US House of Representatives Report in 2002, was a proposed feasibility and the planning study to establish I-175 along Corridor J. However, no allocation of monies was appropriated and no additional discussion has been made since for this briefly proposed interstate along the corridor.

Until late 2005, Corridor J was to turn west just north of Cookeville along the planned SR 451 to SR 56 north of Baxter and then use SR 56 and SR 53 via Gainesboro.

Corridor J-1
Corridor J-1 runs from Algood west to SR 56, then north to Celina via SR 53 and Gainesboro; it is proposed that the part of the corridor be renumbered as SR 451. The corridor serves as an alternate route for Corridor J, avoiding Livingston. The entire route is two-lane with wide shoulders, allowing for possible expansion if needed.

Corridor K
Corridor K is a highway in the U.S. states of Tennessee and North Carolina. Overlapped entirely by U.S. Route 74 (US 74), it also has shorter concurrences with US 19, US 64, APD-40 (US 64 Bypass), US 129 and US 441. The corridor connects Interstate 75 (I-75) in Cleveland, Tennessee (northeast of Chattanooga), easterly to Corridor A (US 23) near Dillsboro, North Carolina.

There are two gaps in the corridor, one in each state. The 20.1 mi gap in Tennessee is the Ocoee Scenic Byway along the Ocoee River from Parksville to Ducktown. Plans outline a new alternate route for this section since the current route does not meet the purpose and need to support the regional transportation goals of a safe, reliable and efficient east–west route. Currently in environmental study, a record of decision is expected in 2017. The 27.1 mi gap in North Carolina is located from Andrews to Stecoah. Broken in three projects, the plan outlines a new four-lane expressway that will bypass north of the Nantahala Gorge and connect Robbinsville. At a total cost to NCDOT estimated at $443 million, it is currently in reprioritization.

Since the corridor's establishment, the first major improvement for the corridor happened in 1979, when bypasses were completed for Murphy and Andrews. In 1986, US 74 was extended west from Asheville, overlapping all of Corridor K. Its last major improvement was in 2005, with the widening of NC 28 at Stecoah, and the first completed section of the Nantahala Gorge bypass. Now at 74.8% of the corridor completed, it features four-lane divided highway predominantly expressway grade, with sections in and around Cleveland, Cherokee and Dillsboro at freeway grade. The corridor also connects the cities of Ducktown and Bryson City, and features the Ocoee National Forest Scenic Byway, in Tennessee, and the Nantahala Byway, in North Carolina; treating travelers with grand vistas and various recreational activities.

Corridor L
Corridor L is a highway in the U.S. state of West Virginia. It follows the path of U.S. Route 19 (US 19) between Beckley and Sutton. By exiting onto Corridor L from Interstate 79 (I-79) at milepost 57, a southbound traveler can eliminate 40 mi, and $7.75 in tolls, re-entering the interstate system at the West Virginia Turnpike (I-64 and I-77) at milepost 48.

Originally, this corridor was built as a four-lane divided highway for only the portion south of US 60; however, the large amount of traffic (as part of the direct route from the cities of Toronto, Buffalo, and Pittsburgh to Florida and a considerable portion of the Atlantic southeast) forced the state to rethink this plan and upgrade the northern half to four lanes as well.

Corridor M
Corridor M is a highway in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It follows Pennsylvania Route 66 from Interstate 76 near New Stanton to an intersection near Delmont, where it follows U.S. Route 22 until the Interstate 81 interchange near Harrisburg. A large portion near the center of the route has not yet been upgraded to a four-lane divided highway.

Projects currently under way in Pennsylvania include:
 * A location study on a 59.8 mi section to provide four lanes between Hollidaysburg and Lewistown

Corridor N
Corridor N is a highway in the U.S. states of Maryland and Pennsylvania. It is a designated portion of U.S. Route 219 (US 219), traveling from Corridor E (I-68/US 40) near Grantsville, Maryland, north to Corridor M (US 22 near Ebensburg, Pennsylvania). There is currently an attempt in the U.S. House of Representatives to extend this corridor, in the form of House bill H.R.1544 - Corridor N Extension Act of 2011. The act would extend Corridor N north from its current terminus at Corridor M to Corridor T in southwestern New York. The bill has not yet been brought before Congress for debate. As of January 2019, Corridor N has been completed as a controlled-access highway from just north of Ebensburg to Meyersdale. In late 2021 Maryland opened a 1.2 mi four-lane bypass of the prior US 219 at the Corridor E (I-68) interchange; the remainder of the route to Meyersdale remains a two-lane highway.

Corridor O
Corridor O is a highway in the U.S. states of Maryland and Pennsylvania. It is part of U.S. Route 220 (US 220), traveling from Corridor E, near Cumberland, Maryland, north to I-80, near Bellefonte, Pennsylvania. The part north of the Pennsylvania Turnpike (I-70/I-76) near Bedford is also I-99.

Corridor O-1
Corridor O-1 begins at Corridor O at Port Matilda, Pennsylvania, and travels northwesterly along US 322 to I-80 near Clearfield.

Corridor P
Corridor P is a highway in the U.S. state of Pennsylvania. It travels from a point near Mackeyville, eastward to Milton, via Williamsport.

Corridor P-1
Corridor P-1 begins at Corridor M (US 22/US 322) near Duncannon and travels north for 51.01 mi along US 11/US 15 and PA 147, meeting Corridor P at the interchange of Interstate 80 and I-180 near Milton.

The majority of the corridor's length from its southern terminus to Selinsgrove is a four-lane divided highway carrying the US 11 and US 15 designations. The northernmost 3.79 mi of this section is a freeway bypassing Selinsgrove. The next 10.84 mi is an unbuilt freeway named the Central Susquehanna Valley Thruway (CSVT), which will partially be designated US 15 and PA 147. Construction began on the northern 4.49 mi half of the CSVT in 2016. The remaining 7.49 mi of Corridor P-1 from the CSVT to I-80 and Corridor P is a four-lane freeway section of PA 147.

Corridor Q
Corridor Q is a highway in the U.S. states of Kentucky, Virginia, and West Virginia. It travels from US 23/US 119, near Pikeville, Kentucky, to Interstate 81, in Christiansburg, Virginia. In the 2013 fiscal year, the corridor is 82.2% completed.

Corridor R
Corridor R is a highway in the U.S. state of Kentucky. It travels from Corridor I at the interchange of the Mountain Parkway and Kentucky Route 15 (KY 15) near Campton east along the Mountain Parkway and KY 114 to Corridor B (US 23/US 460) in Prestonsburg. It forms part of a route from Lexington, Kentucky to Roanoke, Virginia using Interstate 64 (I-64), Corridor I, Corridor R, Corridor B, Corridor Q, and I-81.

Corridor S
Corridor S is a highway in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is routed entirely along U.S. Route 25E (US 25E); from Interstate 81 (I-81), near Morristown, to State Route 63 (SR 63; Corridor F), in Harrogate. In the 2013 fiscal year, 26.5 mi has been completed, while 22.2 mi remains to be constructed, which consists of rest areas and design and construction of interchanges to meet interstate standards.

Corridor T
Corridor T is a highway in the U.S. states of Pennsylvania and New York. It travels from Greenfield Township, Pennsylvania (northeast of Erie) to Windsor, New York, and corresponds to Interstate 86, an upgrade of the existing New York State Route 17 (NY 17). An extension of the US 219 Southern Expressway will also join I-86.

Known as the Southern Tier Expressway and Quickway (split by Interstate 81 (I-81) at Binghamton, New York), I-86 will connect I-90 northeast of Erie, with I-87 (the New York State Thruway) near Harriman, New York. As of August 2008, it travels east from I-90 to NY 352 in Elmira, bringing the total length of highway designated as I-86 to 200 mi (and 181 mi remaining to be designated). Once completed, I-86 will stretch 388 miles (624 km) across the Southern Tier of New York from I-90 to I-87, shorter than the 460 mi along the New York State Thruway to the north.

Several sections of NY 17 are not up to freeway or Interstate Highway standards, and need to be upgraded before I-86 can be designated along its full length. These substandard sections are located near Elmira, Binghamton, and the Catskill Mountains.

I-86 currently travels 6.99 mi in Pennsylvania and 190 mi in New York. Except for a section of about 1.5 mi that dips into Pennsylvania near Waverly, New York but is maintained by the New York State Department of Transportation, the rest of I-86 will be in New York.

Corridor U
Corridor U is a highway in the U.S. states of Pennsylvania and New York. It begins at Corridor P (U.S. Route 220 (US 220)) near Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and proceeds generally northward to Corridor T (Interstate 86 (I-86)) in Elmira, New York. The corridor follows US 15 northward from Williamsport to Tioga Junction, where it turns northeastward to follow Pennsylvania Route 328 (PA 328), New York State Route 328 (NY 328), and New York State Route 14 (NY 14) through Elmira to I-86.

The portion along US 15 in Pennsylvania is slated to become Interstate 99.

Corridor U-1
Corridor U-1 is a spur from Corridor U at Tioga, Pennsylvania, continuing north along I-99/US 15 to Corning, New York, where it connects with Corridor T (I-86). Only the portion in New York is signed as I-99; the portion in Pennsylvania is slated to become I-99 but is currently only signed as US 15.

Corridor V
Corridor V is a highway in the U.S. states of Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. Its termini are Interstate 55 (I-55) in Batesville, Mississippi, and I-24 west of Chattanooga, Tennessee.

As of late 2014, the following portions of Corridor V have been recently completed or are underway:
 * Between Red Bay, Alabama, and Fulton, Mississippi (designated Mississippi Highway 76 (MS 76)) which was completed on April 11, 2023
 * Relocated US 278/MS 6 between Tupelo and Pontotoc, Mississippi, which was opened in July 2014

A widening project is also underway on Alabama State Route 24 (SR 24) between Red Bay and Russellville, as this section of Corridor V was previously reconstructed as an improved two-lane route within divided a four-lane right-of-way.

Corridor V between Batesville and Fulton was also designated as National Highway System High Priority Corridor 42 and a Future Interstate Corridor as part of the 1998 Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century; originally, Corridor 42 also included a concurrency with Corridor X between Fulton and Birmingham, Alabama, but this concurrency was removed in subsequent legislation. However, the portion of the route between Batesville and Tupelo was only constructed to four-lane divided highway standards, making Interstate highway designation unlikely in the near future.

Corridor V was also designated as High Priority Corridor 11 in the National Highway System Designation Act of 1995.

Corridor W
Corridor W is a highway in the U.S. states of South Carolina and North Carolina. It is routed entirely along U.S. Route 25 (US 25); from Interstate 85 (I-85), in Greenville, South Carolina, to I-26, near East Flat Rock, North Carolina. The entire corridor is four-lane, that is expressway grade in South Carolina and freeway grade in North Carolina. Of the entire 39.4 mi route, only 30.4 mi was authorized for ADHS funding. In the 2013 fiscal year, both states completed their sections of Corridor W; South Carolina also became the first state to complete its entire ADHS miles of any of the 13 Appalachian states.

Corridor X
Corridor X is a highway in the U.S. states of Mississippi and Alabama. It travels from Fulton, Mississippi, to Interstate 65, in Birmingham, Alabama. It was officially designated as I-22 on November 12, 2012.

Corridor X-1
Corridor X-1 or the Birmingham Northern Beltline (which will be signed as I-422) is a proposed 65 mi northern bypass around Birmingham, Alabama. Beginning at I-20/I-59/US-11 and I-459, south of Bessemer, Alabama, it will travel northwest connecting US 78, I-22 (indirectly via I-222), I-65, and US 31 then ending at I-59 north of I-459. Funding issues and pushback from environmental activists have stalled the project for decades with only a short, unused segment being constructed in the mid-2010s.

Hey! Cool to have some folks from pakistan on board. But the idea of wikipedia is like, to actually write some stuff. You don't have to write entire articles at once, you can just like look through recent changes and fix spelling and style, or Hmm, I dunno, maybe look up places in Pakistan you know and edit them.

I'm sure you'll find something interesting, inshallah. :-)

Minnesota High School Hockey, Boys'
Good day Schulte, and thank you for your contributions and endurance of the WP:VFD process. I hope you aren't discouraged.

The beginning of the article is fine and I assume you intend that you or someone else will further develop the history and champions of the league.

The Teams section, however, looks a lot like a uninteresting list that catches the eye of many deletionists. It is often said that Wikipedia is not a collection of lists, though there are certainly some encyclopedic lists and I don't say your article is only a list. Just that it may push some voters to the delete or merge camp.

Your article notes that the teams are divided into classes and sections. A great way to increase the interest of a list is to organise it in some way and add details. So I would suggest dividing the list into the classes and sections and, perhaps, adding something like Year of Championship. e.g.:

Section 8
(Obviously I just made up this data and is not accurate. :-) )

Also notice that I moved the team website to the Nickname column and renamed it. I generally frown on seeing external links within the aricle itself but I see its usefulness here. It is a little prettier, though, when linked to the name rather than just being a link.

A public domain picture or two would be great too though often difficult to get.

Don't forget to check out:

Anyway, there's my 2¢ that you asked for. :-) Cheers, Double Blue  (Talk) 22:43, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hello DAS. Funny that I find you here. Nice work on the hockey articles. KWK 23:38, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * I wondered if you'd turn up. I may have a follow-up question for you in the event the high school hockey article goes south... --Schulte 01:58, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * The article will probably be kept. Articles are only deleted if there is a consensus to delete, and "consensus" is roughly defined as 66% majority, and for some administrators, it's even higher, like 75% or 80%. Right now, it's running 55% to keep. A и D я 01D  TALK  EMAIL  02:20, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
 * One more thing... you may want to make an explicit Keep vote at the discussion. Some people are kinda anal about that and may not count your defense and expansion of the article as an implicit vote. A и D я 01D  TALK  EMAIL  02:22, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)

Herb Brooks award
You should consider starting a page about the herb brooks award, similar to the mr. hockey award. I see you have an interest in hockey, so i thought i might suggest it, if you have time. Anyways, just something to think about.--Geppy 07:20, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

 * Thought about it Geppy. It is pretty new though...think it should gather some steam first? --Schulte 13:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Conferences
So for the new List of conferences page (Minnesota State High School League Conferences) i went and added all the schools for the conferences i could find. Do you think we should just remove the ones we dont find info for, because im not sure all of those are actual conferences. Anyways, let me know what you think.--Gephart 01:43, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I think they should be listed actually...a historical look back. For example, I think the Rum River will be departing after this year. So we could use a notation like: 1940-2007 (defunct) to keep track of conference that is breaking up. Keep the 1932 - present for the other type. Seem appropriate? --Schulte 02:35, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Reunion
Sounded to much like an advert. Reunion does what any good genealogy programs should do. I personally like the program and still use it. I believe the version history should also come out as it available on the main reunion website. Gioto 15:48, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Before I start pulling things out like that, I will add it to the talk page for discussion in future. I believe this wikipedia is great stuff, only found it recently and didn't mean to step on your toes :) Gioto 16:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you interested in creating articles for the other genealogy programs also? Gioto 16:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
