A Nashville mansion is asking the highest price in the states history.

The 19,811-square-foot Chickering Road home was listed by billionaire businessman Dr. Tom Frist Jr., who founded HCA Healthcare, for $50 million, the New York Post reported.

Located in the pricy Belle Meade neighborhood, the five-bedroom house sits on just under 50 acres and is a half mile from the road. A separate buildable 9-acre parcel at 1230 Chickering Road is also included in the property listing. The home, built in 2001, was designed by New York architects Ferguson & Shamamian, who have won multiple awards for high-end residential projects.

The large home resembles other Southern estates with features such as exterior columns and double balcony porches on the front and back of the house.

Ferguson & Shamamian featured the mansion in their book City and Country Residences, in which they wrote: Centered on colonnaded porches in front and back, the house may have an impressive presence, and the body language appears to be formal. But the house that is scaled for entertaining and steeped in regional references offers a surprisingly comfortable, even relaxed environmental reality inside.

In addition to the five bedrooms, the home also has six full bathrooms and four half baths.

The interiors of the home were designed by well-known New York designer Bunny Williams.

The mansion has indoor and outdoor and formal and informal areas to entertain guests, including a screened porch, a large living room, a covered porch with fireplace and a large family room that has vaulted wood ceilings and two fireplaces.

The home also includes an elevator, swimming pool, tennis court and guest house.

Dr. Frist is selling the mansion because his wife died last year and he wants to move to a smaller home.

Nashville mansion asks $50M, highest in Tennessee history - The Real Deal

Remember that one command that solved your problem? Was it cat, less, more, wc or something else? When were at the terminal, we can issue dozens of commands to solve a problem and in the background our Linux OS is recording these commands to a history file.

In this how-to well look at various ways of searching and re-using our command history. Whilst you become accustomed to these commands its important to double check you dont unintentionally reissue a command that could cause problems. Take your time using these new techniques and double check the details before pressing enter!

All the commands in this how-to will work on most Linux machines. Weve used a Ubuntu 20.04 install but you could run this how-to on a Raspberry Pi. All of the how-to is performed via the Terminal. You can open a terminal window on most Linux machines by pressing ctrl, alt and t.

The simplest way to look through your recent commands is to use the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard to scroll through the previous commands. If you want to reissue a found command simply press the enter key.

The history command, in its most basic use case, lists and annotates the last 1000 commands issued in the terminal emulator. Each command has a number associated with it.

1. Run the history command to see a list of the last 1000 commands. Youll see that all the listed historical commands are given a unique reference number.

2. Reissue the history command but constrain the amount of results to a specific number. This is useful if you know roughly when a command you are looking for was issued. You should see only the last 20 results listed.

Now we can use history to view our previous commands, we can choose and reissue a command using the number assigned to the history results.

1. Run history 20 to create a list of commands, choose a command to reissue making sure that the chosen command is safe to run. Choosing a simple command like cd Music (1660) is a good safe example. Note there is no space between the exclamation mark and the command number.

By piping the output of history into grep we can perform a search of our command history returning results for a specified term or string. This is an excellent approach for finding a partially remembered command.

1. Search for a specific term using history and grep. We used the example search term silhouette as we recalled we had issued some commands to rectify a problem with a silhouette vinyl cutter. Replace that search term with something suited to your machine.

Another handy approach to retrieve previous Linux commands is to use the reverse search function built into the terminal. To enter this mode you simply press ctrl and r. You can then enter a search term and use repeat presses of ctrl and r to step back through the list of previous commands containing that term. When you find a command you want to reissue press enter.

1. Press ctrl and r enters the reverse search mode, you should see the prompt now reads (reverse I search)`':

2. Type a search term and you should see the last command issued that contained this term. For example we added the search term sudo to show the previous commands issued with sudo privileges.

3. Repeat pressing ctrl and r to step through other results.

4. Run a previous command by pressing enter or quit the reverse search by pressing esc .

Often we will want to simply rerun the last command we issued. We can achieve this simply using the !! command.

1. Run the ls command to set this as the example to test.

2. Reissue the last command using !!. Note that the previous command is listed and performed.

Sometimes we may try to reuse a command that requires elevated privileges, for example editing a file outside of our home directory. To do this we can preface the previous command with sudo. In the following example we append the first ls command to be reissued with sudo.

There may come a time where you need to keep a command out of your history, and if that scenario ever occurs, all you need to do is preface the command with a single press of the spacebar.

For example here are two ls commands, the second has a single space, hiding it from the history file.

With a little practice all the above approaches become quite instinctive to use and can make your terminal session more powerful and efficient. The ability to locate and reissue commands is extremely useful, especially when recovering a rarely used command or a command that was hard to create in the first instance.

Your Ole Miss Rebels just made history by sweeping the LSU Tigers for the first time ever in Baton Rouge. Not only did they win convincingly, but the Rebels might have just made every single Ole Miss fan buy in for the rest of the season.

No question about it, were ready to get hurt again.

Theyre back, baby.

Ole Miss is on a hot streak winning nine of its last 11 games. Dylan Delucia, starting pitcher on Friday night as well as Saturdays continuance game, gave the Rebels the edge they needed. Pitching overall the entire weekend was great, but it was the aggressive and leave no doubt offense that won this series for the Rebels.

In game three, Derek Diamond got the start on the mound, going for 4.1 innings, allowing six hits for four runs with five strikeouts. As per the usual, Diamond was solid first time through the line-up then began to struggle.

Peyton Chatagnier was electric for the Rebs going 3-for-5 with a double, home run, and two RBI. Justin Bench had two doubles on the day, and both Hayden Leatherwood and Kemp Alderman sent balls over the wall in the series sweep. Heading into the ninth, Ole Miss had the 8-5 lead just needing three outs to make history.

Brandon Johnson came in to close, and wanted to add a little spice to keep Ole Miss fans on their toes late in the ninth. Per usual, he brought it and was all of us after the final strikeout.

Talk yo sh*t, Brandon.

Ole Miss continues what feels like its week six road trip to Jonesboro, Ark. to take on the Red Wolves of Arkansas State, before returning to Swayze Field when No. 10 Texas A&M comes to Oxford. Rebs will take on Arkansas State on Tuesday at 6 p.m. C.T.

Ole Miss baseball makes history in Baton Rouge with first ever sweep of Tigers - Red Cup Rebellion

The Dallas Mavericks are set to take on the Phoenix Suns on Sunday in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The winner moves on to the Western Conference Finals to take on the Golden State Warriors. The loser gets to start their summer vacation early.

The Mavericks havent played in very many Game 7s over the course of their franchise history. Theyve only participated in seven winner take all matches, partly because they were established in the 1980s. The Boston Celtics, for instance, have played in 33 Game 7s.

So before the Mavericks take on the Suns, heres a breakdown of every Game 7 the Mavericks have played:

The 1987-88 Mavericks featured a deep squad determined to avenge a stunning playoff upset the previous year. The 1986-87 Mavericks won 55 games and entered the postseason as the No. 2-seed in the Western Conference, but lost in the first round in four games to the No. 7-seed Seattle SuperSonics.

That squad returned in 1987-88 with one goalwin a championship or bust. The team featured Derek Harper, Rolando Blackman, Mark Aguirre, Sam Perkins, and James Donaldson. They finished the season as the No. 3-seed and cruised through the first two rounds of the playoffs. Unfortunately, they ran into the Los Angeles Lakers, who were on the back end of the one of the greatest dynasties in NBA history.

The home team won every game of the series (sound familiar?), with the Mavericks forcing a Game 7 after tight 105-103 Game 6 win in Dallas. The Mavericks hoped to carry momentum back to Los Angeles with them, and for a while, they did. Dallas trailed 54-53 at halftime, and 87-79 after the third quarter. But Magic Johnson took over in the fourth quarter, and the Mavericks had no answer. They ended up losing their first Game 7 in franchise history 117-102.

The 2002-03 Mavericks almost made the worst kind of history. After taking a 3-0 series lead against the Portland Trail Blazers, the No. 3-seed Dallas proceeded to lose three games in a row to the No. 6-seed Portland. They even entered the fourth quarter of Game 7 down by two.

But the Mavericks were rescued by a 31 point effort by Dirk Nowitzki. Nick Van Exel chipped in 26 points on 10-of-15 shooting. This was a physically and mentally draining series, said Michael Finley after the game. Nothing Sacramento can do will be tougher than what we faced here. The Mavericks would soon find out true that was.

The Mavericks caught a break in the second round of the 2003 playoffs against the Sacramento Kings when the Kings best player, Chris Webber, went down with a knee injury in Game 2. Still, the teams traded games back and forth all series, until they reached Game 7 in Dallas.

They were buoyed yet again by Nowitzki, who scored 30 points and grabbed 19 rebounds. The rest of the roster stepped up as well, with another great performance by Van Exel, who scored 23 points. Steve Nash and Finley scored 18 points each, with Nash dishing out 13 assists. Raja Bell scored 12 as well.

Unfortunately, the Mavericks would go on to lose in six games in the Western Conference Finals to the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs would go on to win the NBA Finals.

The Mavericks faced off against the Houston Rockets in the first round of the 2005 playoffs. Dallas entered the playoffs as the No. 4-seed amid a odd season where head coach Don Nelson re-signed in March. Assistant coach Avery Johnson took over, and all seemed well until the Mavericks lost the first two games of the series against the Rockets.

They rebounded, though, and won three of the next four games to force a Game 7. This time, though, it wasnt Nowitzki who saved them. Jason Terry scored 31 points and Josh Howard hassled Rockets Tracy McGrady into 10-of-26 shooting from the floor. Nowitzki scored 14 points, but it didnt matter. The Mavericks won the game in a route, 116-76, and won the series. Theyd go on to lose in the next round to the Phoenix Suns.

In what is probably the defining series against their in-state rivals the Spurs, the Mavericks blew a 3-1 lead in the series and a 20 point lead in Game 7, but still somehow won. Dallas had lost its previous two series against San Antonio.

But 2006 would be different. You know all the moments. The Nowitzki drive to the basket. The Manu Ginobli foul on that drive. Nowitzki making a key block on the other end. An overtime wracked with tension. The Mavericks would go on to win 119-111, sending them to the Western Conference Finals. There, theyd defeat another rival, the Suns, and go on to the NBA Finals. No need to go into what happened next.

Eight years later, the Mavericks found themselves in another Game 7 against the Spurs. The circumstances were a bit different this time, though. The Spurs were the No. 1-seed bent on winning a title after a crushing defeat in the NBA Finals against the Miami Heat in 2013. The Mavericks were a plucky No. 8-seed just happy to be there.

What followed was a back and forth series that looked like a matchup between two of the best teams in the NBA. It featured an iconic shot and stellar performances by some of the greatest players in both teams histories. But Game 7 didnt go the Mavericks way at all, and the Spurs cruised to a victory 119-96. They would go on to win the NBA Finals in five games.

Seven years would pass before the Mavericks next Game 7. It would come in their second consecutive matchup with the Los Angeles Clippers. The Mavericks actually held a 3-2 lead in the series with Game 6 in Dallas. But the Clippers stole Game 6 behind a 45 point performance by Kawhi Leonard, and forced Game 7 in Los Angeles.

In Game 7, it was Luka Doncic who put on a stellar performance, scoring 46 points and dishing out 14 assists. It wasnt enough, though, to defeat the Clippers balanced attack. Leonard scored 28 points, and Paul George scored 22. Marcus Morris chipped in 23 points. No other Maverick outside of Doncic scored more than 18 points. The Clippers won the game 126-111.

Much of Florida's history is literally underfoot. Now there is now a major effort to find and preserve the state's many lost cemeteries where that history resides.

Barbara Clark, regional director of the Florida Public Archeology Network, was giving dozens of people a Saturday morning tour of Tallahassee's Old City Cemetery. She stopped at a grave marker for Thomas Brown, who died in 1867.

"He was from Virginia," she said of Brown. "He was our only Whig governor of Florida. While he was in Virginia, he was clerk of the post office there."

Clark told the group Brown was in Virginia when he invented the post office box. He also lent his name to Tallahassee's Tom Brown Park.

Untold numbers of stories like this are lost to history because, as Jonathan Grandage with the Florida Division of Historical Resources noted, most of the state's forgotten graveyards are on private property.

"There may be 7,000 or 8,000 unrecorded cemeteries in the state of Florida. About 1,700 are recorded in the Florida Master Site File. So we want people to know they can get in touch with us or the Florida Public Archeology Network to help document the location of cemeteries," he said.

Success in that endeavor, Grandage explained, will literally uncover many lost chapters of Florida history.

Florida strives to uncover its lost history, hidden away in forgotten graveyards - WFSU

A new investigation found that family history was an important contributor to the pathogenesis of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and was responsible for much of its effect on mediated by loop gain and neck size.

The data was presented at the American Thoracic Society 2020 International Conference in San Francisco.

Previous research found that first-degree family history of OSA could be a potential risk factor for the sleep disorder, with estimates stating indicating ~40% of the variation in the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI).

However, the mechanisms of this effect have not been fully established.

As such, an investigative team led by Jeremy Orr, MD, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at UC San Diego, tested the hypothesis regarding the effect of family history on AHI and how it is mediated through 1 or more known traits underlying OSA pathogenesis.

Orr and colleagues created a retrospective cohort based on a previous chart review of consecutive patients who were diagnosed with OSA (AHA5) based on an in-lab polysomnogram between January 2017 and December 2018. Each patients family history-status was explicitly noted.

The investigative team quantified 4 pathophysiological traits for each subject, including anatomical collapsibility, arousal threshold, loop gain, and pharyngeal dilator recruitment, which were determined via a validated polysomnography-based algorithm.

Following log-transforming of the AHI to increase normality, Orr and colleagues performed simple mediation analyses that included structural equation models. From there, the 4 traits and 2 proxy-markers of anatomical collapsibility functioned as candidate mediators, with age and sex being included as covariates.

A total of 355 patients with OSA were included in the study, all of whom had available data on family history of OSA and OSA traits. Among these patients, 104 (29%) has positive family history of OSA.

Investigators noted that both groups were similar in term of BMI, race and ethnicity. However, patients with a positive history of OSA tended to be younger compared to those without a positive history, with the median ages being 50 and 56, respectively.

Patients with a positive family history also tended to be female (50% versus 41%), and had more severe OSA based on a higher AHI (29 [17-60] vs 23 [12-50]).

Additionally, a positive family history was associated with a 37% (e=1.37) (P=0.001) higher AHI, partially mediated by loop gain (P>0.4). As such, this did not mediate its effect on the AHI.

In addition to confirming family history as an important contributor of OSA, the investigative team also believed this study suggested that high loop gain be considered as an endotype/phenotype for genome-wide association studies that focus on the genetic underpinnings of OSA.

However, the majority of family historys effect on AHI was not explained by traditional traits and markers of an unfavorable anatomy, and residual confounding or reverse causation cannot be excluded, the team wrote.

The first round of the 2022 NBA Playoffs didn't give basketball fans a single Game 7, but the second round is ready to bring us a do-or-die doubleheader.

On Sunday, the Bucks, Celtics, Mavericks and Suns will all participate in Game 7s with trips to the Eastern and Western Conference Finals on the line. The series involving those teams have been extremely competitive, so it is only fitting that they go the distance.

Ahead of those contests, let's take a look back at the history of Game 7s in the NBA Playoffs and some of the league's best Game 7 performances.

(All stats courtesy of StatMuse)

MORE: Why Game 7 of Bucks vs. Celtics will be a classic

There have been 142 Game 7s in NBA Playoff history.

Before this year's postseason, the most recent Game 7 was played between the 76ers and Hawks in the 2021 Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Bucks and Nets also reached a Game 7 in the same round last year.

The Celtics have played in 33 Game 7s and won 24 of them. The Lakers are second on the all-time list with 24 Game 7s. They have a record of 16-8 in those games.

Boston and Los Angeles may have the most total Game 7 wins, but a surprising team has the highest winning percentage: the Timberwolves. Minnesota is the only franchise that has played in just one Game 7, defeating Sacramento in the 2004 Western Conference Semifinals.

Every active NBA team has played in at least one Game 7.

Hall of Famer Ray Allen has played in 11 Game 7s, the most in NBA history.

Two Celtics legends are right behind him, as Paul Pierce and Bill Russell each played in 10 Game 7s.

No need to dig deep into the history books.

Kevin Durant set the Game 7 scoring record just last season with 48 points against the Bucks. Unfortunately for Durant, his Nets lost an overtime thriller in Brooklyn, and Milwaukee went on to win the championship.

The NBA Finals has required a Game 7 to decide the winner 19 times.

The most recent Game 7 of the championship series was played between the Cavaliers and Warriors in 2016. Cleveland captured a 93-89 victory, becoming the first team in NBA Finals history to win the title after facing a 3-1 deficit.

The New York Rangers are no strangers to Game Sevens having played 15 of them in their storied history. The good news is they are on the plus side, winning nine while losing six.

They are also tied for the most consecutive Game Seven wins with six from 2012 to 2015. That streak ended when the Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Blueshirts in the seventh game of the Eastern Conference Finals in 2015.

The Rangers have gone to a seventh game only once versus the Pittsburgh Penguins, winning in 2014, coming back from a 3-1 deficit to do it and Ranger fans hope that history will repeat itself tonight.

The Rangers have victimized the Capitals the most times, winning three of four Game Sevens against them. They are undefeated in two seven game series against the Devils.

Their other Game Seven wins have come against the Penguins, Flyers, Senators and their most memorable win, against the Canucks in 1994 in the Stanley Cup Final.

Their Game Seven losses have come at the hands of the Flyers, Bruins, Capitals, Red Wings, Black Hawks and Lightning.

The Rangers lost in the 1939 Semi-Finals to the Boston Bruins in what was the longest Game Seven in NHL history, lasting eight minutes into the third overtime. That was surpassed in 1987 by the Islanders and Capitals epic quadruple overtime classic.

The two times the Rangers went to seven games in the Stanley Cup Final were in 1950 when they lost to the Detroit Red Wings and of course, in 1994.

Theres also this.

On the negative side, the Penguins have played in 17 Game Sevens and are 10-7 all-time and have won all six that they have played on the road.

Tonights game will be the 186th Game Seven in NHL playoff history, to be followed by the 187th when Dallas takes on Calgary.

This season there will be five Game Sevens already in the First Round and the higher seed has won in two of the three that have been concluded already. The Rangers hope to make that three of four.

The good news is the last two times they were down 3-1 in a series, they rebounded to win in seven games. Its time for the Blueshirts to extend that streak.

Historic Ellicott City is celebrating 250 years since it was founded with a full schedule of opportunities to learn its story.

Outside of the historic Thomas Isaac Log Cabin on Main Street Ellicott City on Sunday, Janet Nickerson had a display of clothing she made that would have been worn in the 18th century.

You want to be aware of your history and also understand where people are coming from, where the city came from, how it was founded. There are a lot of interesting things about Ellicott City, Nickerson said.

On Thursday, theres an artists talk by Lisa Scarbath at the Howard County Center for the Arts. She created mosaic artwork consisting of six panels featuring Ellicott City landmarks.

The Historic Ellicott City Inc. Decorator Show House is open until June 5 and features a look at former Maryland Gov. Edwin Warfields estate.

The Museum of Howard County History has an exhibit looking at the lives of Ellicott Citys founding family.

Its 250 years of history, American history in a town older than America itself, said Ed Lilley, EC250 board member.

Arthur Malestein, a historian focusing on Maryland history, was on Main Street Ellicott City on Sunday, educating visitors on the areas history.

I have a lot of people that are like wow, I didnt know that,' Malestein said about those passing by and stopping at his table. In 1772, the Ellicott brothers from up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania came down and established a milling industry down here, he said.

Lilley encouraged people to take advantage of learning about the historic town by taking part in the scheduled events.

There are lots of things to see and do, Lilley said.

EC250 is hosting events throughout the year to mark the anniversary. See a full listing of the events for the anniversary on its website.
