How does the university communicate with students?
Student Marquette e-mail accounts are the preferred official communication. Students can set up eMarq accounts on to their smartphones or tablets.
Is a student required to bring a computer?
Yes, engineering freshmen and transfer students are required to bring a laptop. Learn about system specifications, possible sales/lease options and requisite software information.
All engineering students have 24-hour access seven days a week to the engineering computer laboratories, including backup computers and printers. In addition, all Marquette students have access seven days a week to library computers during regularly scheduled hours.
If a student wants to reach a faculty member, what is the best way?
Students are strongly encouraged to contact faculty EARLY and OFTEN. Some faculty will request a specific means of communication, but the following options are always available: e-mail, office hours, D2L, phone or by appointment.
Can parents request student's personal and educational information?
Marquette is bound by the rules and regulations established within the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and therefore can't release any information educational information without a signed FERPA waiver form. Please go to the Academic Advising Center, to submit a form. More information on FERPA.
Who advises students?
The College of Engineering is transitioning to a two-pronged advising model. Based on the student's declared major, each student is assigned a Faculty Mentor. Students can identify their Faculty Mentor on Checkmarq. Additionally, the College of Engineering staffs an Academic Advising Center (AAC).
The Center strives to complement the role of the Faculty Mentor by providing a centralized location for students to get their questions answered. Faculty Mentors are there to help with such topics as careers, technical electives, graduate programs and research opportunities.
How often do students meet with Advisors and Faculty Mentors?
Students are required to meet with an Advisor each semester prior to registration for the following semester. In most cases, course planning and approval is done through the Academic Advising Center (AAC). Students are also required to meet with their Faculty Mentor at least once a semester.
How do I know when to register?
Students are assigned enrollment appointments each semester. This date and time can be found on CheckMarq under enrollment appointment. This time is their first possible date to register. Registration continues through the first week of classes.
How many credits can I register for?
Full-time engineering students can register for 12-19 credits. Students requesting an overload (≥ 20 credits) must submit an overload request form to the college office, Olin, Room 201, for approval from the associate dean for academic affairs. There is an additional fee for each credit over 19. The full-time load is 12-19 credits. Dropping below 12 credits may affect financial aid, health insurance and academic progress.What if I no longer want to take a course for which I have registered? (course drop vs. course withdraws)
If a student no longer wishes to remain in a course, he/she is eligible to DROP the course prior to the end of late registration (typically the end of the first week of classes). Course drops can be completed in CheckMarq.
If a student no longer wishes to remain in a course after the end of the late registration, this is a course WITHDRAWAL and will result in a W on the student's transcript. To withdraw from a course, students must complete a withdrawal form (available in the college office, Olin, Room 201) and obtain all necessary signatures (e.g., instructor and adviser) prior to submitting the form to the college office for final approval from the associate dean for academic affairs. This form must be received by 4 p.m. on the last day to withdraw (please see the academic calendar for specific date), otherwise the student will receive the grade earned in the class.
Engineering students are limited to at most five course withdrawals during the course of their studies.
Can I repeat a class to improve my GPA?
Engineering students may repeat a course to improve their GPA and/or meet minimum grade prerequisites. Students should complete a substitute/repeat form, available in the college office, Olin, Room 201. The College of Engineering limits the use of the substitute/repeat option to at most five instances. Students are limited to two repeats for any single course.
Does the college offer summer courses?
Engineering students may take at most four courses (two each session) during the summer at Marquette. Students should discuss summer course plans with their academic advisers. Students wishing to take summer courses outside Marquette must complete a course approval form, available in the college office, Olin, room 201. Course approval should be received prior to registration. Students are responsible for having official transcripts sent immediately upon completion to: Marquette University, Office of the Registrar, P.O. Box 1881, Milwaukee, WI 53201
What is the core curriculum?
The University Core of Common Studies is the intellectual heart of a Marquette education, built on our Jesuit tradition and designed for successful life in the 21st century. The core comprises nine knowledge areas essential to a well-educated person, a Marquette graduate. Students are required to complete 36 credits within nine knowledge areas: rhetoric; mathematical reasoning; theology; human nature and ethics; science and nature; individual and social behavior; literature and performing arts; diverse cultures; and histories of cultures and societies. Only courses specifically approved for core can meet core requirements.
When must a student declare his or her engineering major?
Many engineering foundation courses are common to all of the engineering majors. As such, it is relatively easy to change engineering majors during the first year of study. To maximize degree progress, students need to know their major by the end of their second semester.
Are there double majors and/or minors available?Information on double majors and minors is listed in the Undergraduate Bulletin under the college hosting the double major or minor. Students can contact their adviser for more information.
Common minors include: biological sciences, chemistry, physics, mathematics and business administration. Though engineering students do not have any foreign language requirements, several engineering students pursue a minor in a foreign language.
Do students have to maintain certain grades or GPA to remain in the program?
All students must meet grade and cumulative and college GPA requirements for academic progress.
Students who do not meet academic progress policies may be required to withdraw from the engineering program for academic reasons.
What about advanced degrees?
Each engineering department offers a five-year bachelor of science/master of science program. Students may apply to this program as a junior and begin their research and graduate studies after their junior year. These programs and their eligibility requirements are documented in the Graduate Bulletin.
What are study abroad options?
Engineering students can study abroad in various university programs. Destinations include Australia, Ireland, England, Spain, Japan, China and South Africa. Most engineering students who elect to study abroad do so the spring or summer term of their sophomore year. Students interested in studying abroad should confer with the associate dean for academic affairs about options and the potential impact on future courses and prerequisites. These students often defer their core electives (e.g., individual and social behavior, literature and performing arts, diverse cultures, and/or histories of cultures and societies) until their term abroad.
Are there options to study in Washington D.C.?
Engineering students can also spend a semester at the Les Aspin Center in Washington D.C. These internships typically include independent research at the Food and Drug Administration and political science and theology course work.
What is the Co-op Program?
How do students get involved in extracurricular activities?
There are about 250 student organizations and activities on campus, including student government, organizations, Greek life, club sports and many more. There are also many engineering student organizations.
What resources are available for current students at Marquette?
Also, writing assistance is available at the Ott Memorial Writing Center.

After weeks of violence plaguing East St. Paul, the community is praising a Good Samaritan who helped a man escape a potential beating at a bus stop on Pedersen Street near the Sun Ray Shopping Center.
The close call came on Saturday night, just a few miles from where several group attacks took place last month. It began when a group of 10 to 15 young men allegedly shouted racial slurs and threats at a 26-year-old man waiting at the bus stop, with one member allegedly saying, "Let's get this white fool."
St. Paul police say the victim is white and the other men in the group were black, but what officers say happened next is helping renew hope in the community.
According to police, a Good Samaritan -- who is black and wants to remain anonymous -- drove by, honked his horn, flashed his lights and even offered the victim a ride home.
Lately, no news has been good news for that area. Many people who heard about the incident initially expected the worst in light of recent violence, including the near-fatal beating of Ray Widstrand last month. Instead, the community is thankful another attack was prevented.

A north Georgia minister is indirectly receiving the gift of life from a former parishioner.The men participated in the world's second largest kidney swap in history.Their surgeries took place at the Emory Transplant Center in Atlanta.Gainesville Pastor Troy Milford tried hiding his kidney disease from his congregation at Chalcedonia Baptist Church."I don't tell everybody everything," Milford. "I just don't. I mean because I was there to serve them."But when parishioner Robert Poole heard the news, his only thought was what could he do to help his friend."The only time I had second thoughts about it was the day after surgery when I woke up and it was -- I didn't know why anybody would put their selves through this," said Poole. But Poole's kidney wasn't a match, so the men participated in a paired donor exchange program.A record-setting chain of 56 surgeries occurred, where Poole's kidney was donated to a recipient in Texas, and Milford received a kidney from a donor in New Jersey."It was the second largest chain, but what was really exciting, in addition to it being the second largest chain, was that it was achieved in only 40 days," said Dr. Nicole Turgeon of the Emory Transplant Center.Both men feel blessed to be a part of a surgery chain where 28 people received the gift of life."I'm blessed and very grateful that this did occur and it happened this way," Poole said.Milford said, "I know that the Lord is the one that put everything together and let it happen. And I give him all the thanks and glory for every bit of it."Turgeon says there are currently more than 100,000 people on the kidney transplant waiting list.Emory University doctors have performed 27 kidney transplants since its paired donor exchange program began in 2010.
Another Georgia parent has sued his children's school district over guns. The lawsuit is directed at Fulton County schools.

Football player to take part in prestigious U.S. all-star game
Queen's offensive tackle Matthew O'Donnell has been selected to play alongside some of the best college football players in North America at the prestigious East-West Shrine Game on Jan. 22 in Orlando.
The all-star showcase features more than 80 of the top university players in the United States and is watched by many NFL and CFL scouts.
"It's a great honour for myself as well as my family, coaches and teammates. It was a long journey from my first week in training camp to my final plays of my fourth year, all expertly mapped out by the Queen's coaching staff," says Mr. O'Donnell.
The 21-year-old, who stands 6-foot-10 and 340 pounds, has dressed in every game for Queen's since his university debut in 2007. He was named lineman of the year in the OUA conference and was one of only two athletes selected to the first all-Canadian team on offence for the second-straight season. He was ranked eighth on the CFL Scouting Bureau's top 15 prospects list as of Dec. 14.
"Matt is a very physically intimidating force and this is a tremendous opportunity for him to showcase his skills," said Queen's head coach Pat Sheahan. "He will line up with the best seniors in U.S. college football and this will determine a lot about his football future. I think it's going to be a great experience for Matt and this certainly is a proud moment for both him and our program."
Mr. O'Donnell knows this game will have impact on getting drafted and his goal of playing in the NFL He is also planning on training in the U.S. with top trainers to improve his strength and technique.
"I'll need to improve a lot as a player over the next few months prior to the pro days and evaluation camps if I want to turn heads among the scouts," Mr. O'Donnell says.
The health studies student is only the second Queen's player to be invited to the game. Mike Schad, also an offensive tackle, also took part and remains the only CIS graduate chosen in the first round of the NFL draft (1987, Los Angeles Rams, 23rd overall).

Forging art like no one is buying NOV 18 2011
Since the late 1980s, Mark Landis has been donating forged paintings he's painted to a number of museums around the country. No one really knew why...until John Gapper from The Financial Times tracked him down.
For nearly three decades, Landis has visited museums across the US in various guises and tried to donate paintings he has forged. As well as Father Scott, he has posed as "Steven Gardiner" among other aliases. He never asks for money, although museums have often hosted meals for him and made small gifts. His only stipulation is that he is donating in his parents' names -- often his actual father, Lieutenant Commander Arthur Landis Jr, a former US Navy officer.
Landis has been prolific and amazingly persistent. A few weeks before he came to Lafayette, "Father Scott" arrived at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in Kansas City, Missouri, with a forgery of Head of a Sioux by Alfred Jacob Miller that he said he was giving in memory of his mother, "Helen Mitchell Scott". Landis has so far offered copies of that work to five other museums. Yet in all this time, although curators speculate about his motives, no one has found out why he is doing it.

Two Teen-Agers Charged in Burglary at Business
Lexington County Sheriff's Department detectives on Friday, April 4 charged two 16-year-old Columbia boys as adults in connection with a burglary that occurred on Friday morning at a grocery store on St. Andrews Road near Irmo.
Lexington County Sheriff James R. Metts said Johnathan William Hoskins, 16, of 142 Loch Drive, Columbia, and Robert Charles Whalen, 16, of 315 Harrow Drive, Columbia, each were detained as adults on arrest warrants on charges of second-degree burglary, criminal conspiracy and possessing tools that are capable of being used in the commission of a crime. Detectives transported Hoskins and Whalen on Friday to a pre-trial detention facility that the South Carolina Department of Juvenile Justice operates in Columbia. Hoskins was released from the pre-trial detention facility on a $6,000 personal recognizance bond. Whalen was being held on Sunday, April 6 at the pre-trial detention facility on bail totaling $6,000.
An arrest warrant alleges that at about 3:45 a.m. on Friday Hoskins and Whalen cut open an air-conditioning vent on the roof at KJ's Market, 543 St. Andrews Road, and unlawfully entered the grocery store with the intent to steal items from the business, Metts said. Hoskins and Whalen had begun collecting merchandise in a large gray trash container when deputies detained Hoskins and later Whalen.
An arrest warrant further alleges that deputies found that Hoskins and Whalen possessed one tool kit, one Black & Decker Fire Storm cordless drill and one knife that were used in the commission of the burglary, Metts said.
Deputies went to the grocery store after the burglar alarm was activated at the business, Metts said. Deputies detained Hoskins at the rear of the store. Deputies detained Whalen outside the store after Whalen unsuccessfully tried to run away from deputies. Hoskins and Whalen each were wearing all-black clothing and ski masks or hoods in order to try to conceal their faces.
Deputies found one hand-saw, one metal drill bit and materials that were used to make a hanging ladder out of PVC pipe on top of the roof at the grocery store, Metts said. Deputies also found that a light fixture had been removed from the interior of the store and placed on the roof in order to create a location for entering the interior of the store from the roof.
Metts asked anyone with information about additional criminal activity involving Hoskins or Whalen to contact the Lexington County Sheriff's Department at (803) 785-8230 or CrimeStoppers at 1-888-CRIME-SC.

Eagles Fall to Spiders in CBE Classic, 69-58
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The Richmond Spiders came into Alico Arena and knocked off the FGCU Eagles in the opening night of the Fort Myers Subregional in the O'Reilly Auto Parts College Basketball Experience Classic on Monday night.
From the opening tip, Richmond jumped out in front, gaining a 7-2 advantage just 3 minutes into the contest. The Eagles fought back, quickly erasing the deficit and gaining a lead of their own, thanks in large part to Kyle Marks. Marks' lay-up just under four and a half minutes into the game was the first made field goal for FGCU, and it sparked a 9-0 run, putting the Eagles out in front by four. Marks added another field goal during that span, and he would finish the night with 11 points on 5-10 shooting. Both teams went back and forth exchanging baskets in a very tightly contested first half, but the Spiders' David Gonzalvez scored 13 points on 5-6 shooting to help Richmond go into the locker room clinging to a slim lead, 33-30.
In the second half, neither team was able to pull away; the largest lead was eight, until the final minute of the game. The Spiders maintained their lead throughout the first 11 minutes of the half, opening with a 5-0 run to take an 8-point lead, but never managed to break the game open. With 8:34 to play, Reed Baker hit a three that brought the Eagles to within a point at 49-48. On the next possession, Baker's alley-oop pass was layed in by Derrick O'Neil, giving the Eagles their first lead of the half. The Spiders bounced back quickly, running 8 consecutive points to reclaim the lead, 57-50. Delvin Franklin ended that run with a three-point basket, trimming the lead to four. That was as close as the Eagles would get, as David Gonzalvez continued his superb play, scoring six of his 25 points in the final five minutes of the game. The Spiders converted 5-6 free throws in the final minute of the game to seal the victory, 69-58.
For the Spiders, David Gonzalvez led in scoring with 25 points on 7-11 shooting including 2-4 from behind the 3-point line and 9-11 from the free throw line. Jarhon Giddings pulled down 11 rebounds and added 8 points.
Delvin Franklin led FGCU in scoring with 17, shooting 5-10 from the field, including 4-8 from 3-point range and 3-4 from the charity stripe. Kyle Marks added 11 points and 5 rebounds, and Reed Baker had a team-high 5 assists.
The O'Reilly Auto Parts College Basketball Experience Classic continues tomorrow evening in the Fort Myers Subregional at Alico Arena. UMKC, who defeated Bradley earlier Monday, 73-61, will take on Richmond at 5:00 PM, and FGCU will battle Bradley at approximately 7:00 PM.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -—State police say the death toll on
Pennsylvania highways during the Thanksgiving holiday period was the highest in seven years.
Jack Lewis said that's the most since 2003, when 19 lives were lost.
Last year, three deaths were reported.
Eleven of this year's victims were not wearing seat belts, and alcohol consumption was a factor in six of the fatal crashes.
Overall, state police reported 1,101 crashes during the holiday period.
The state police statistics exclude crashes handled by local police.

REI Aegis Jacket

The REI Aegis Jacket is a lightweight, packable soft…
Source: received it as a personal gift
The REI Aegis Jacket is a lightweight, packable soft shell, excellent as a shell in light rain and snow situations. The Aegis's waterproof hood, shoulders, upper chest, and sleeves provide excellent protection in moderate snow and light rain, while allowing high breath-ability through the rest of the the lower chest material.
Perfect for high energy activities such as digging a snow cave because it is only waterproof where it needs to be and breathes like it isn't even there. Perfect as a shell over a down sweater or light puffy.
- Very light
- Packs small
- Waterproof where necessary
- Highly breathable
- Scratchy/itchy lining
I received this jacket about a year ago from my dad as a gift. Evidently he had bought it at a garage sale. At first I was a little apprehensions about the odd jacket that couldn't decide what it was, a soft shell or a hard shell. My view quickly changed when I tried it out snowboarding layering it over a down sweater, I found that the soft shell material was highly breathable but also very snow resistant perfect for high energy applications.
The fit of this jacket is superb for its price range allowing great mobility through its stretch material and roomy cut. Though I usually wear a large the one I use is an XL since it is mainly to be used over other large jackets.
This jacket packs very small and light allowing you to bring a hard shell in addition if heavy rain is a possibility. It also weighs in at just under a pound.
The Aegis's construction is superb with all welded seams and bonded zippers, but not so many bells and whistles that it would be weighed down.
The Aegis features two hand pockets, an adjustable hood and underarm gussets.
I have used this jacket on over 12 different occasions now and have seen no degradation or regular wear yet. I plan to use it for years to come and would recommend it to anyone in need of a good, light snow soft shell.

Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
REI® Aegis offers lightweight weather protection in milder climates, great breathability and mobility--and the price just can't be beat! This hybrid jacket's main body is made from a stretch double-weave soft-shell fabric that offers great mobility and breathability while resisting rain. Hood, shoulders, upper sleeves and hip areas are made from a stretch, waterproof, breathable fabric to keep you dry in the most vulnerable areas. The two fabrics are completely welded together for great durability and mobility, with less bulk. Attached hood has hidden volume-adjustment cord at back of head and brushed tricot chin guard. Underarm gussets ensure a comfortable range of motion. Features two hand pockets with sleek, reverse-coil zippers. Hem drawcord exits into hand pockets; lightweight hook-and-loop tabs at the cuffs adjust the fit. Full-length, sleek reverse-coil front zipper. All zippers are bonded in rather than sewn in for low bulk and extra durability.

Rams complete magic week
1:10pm Tuesday 26th February 2013 in Sport By Alan Feldberg
BEACONSFIELD completed a magnificent week by climbing into the Southern League Division One Central play-off positions.
Having beaten MK Dons 3-0 in the semi-final of the Berks and Bucks Cup, they followed up with a 1-0 win over Royston on Saturday before adding and a 3-1 home win over Daventry on Monday.
Those results saw them climb above Royston into fifth place before Saturday's trip to Barton Rovers.
Meanwhile, Chalfont St Peter heaped further misery on the team with the probably worst record in senior football on Saturday.
They won 7-1 against Woodford to condemn their opponents to a 27th defeat in 27 league games this season.
Saints also pushed Woodford's goals against tally into three figures with the win, taking it from 99 to 106 conceded.
Daryl Atkins scored a hat-trick in the romp, with Adam Louth, Aaron McLeish, Michael Lewis and Terrell Lewis also on target.

Quick Links
While Major Paul Driscoll has served the department in many capacities,
including running the agency's grant program. In that role, he has brought more than 80 million federal and state dollars into the department. That funding paid for a new fleet of helicopters and the video downlink system from the police helicopters. This plays a key role in catching fleeing suspects and managing the city's largest events by providing a bird's eye view to commanders. He also obtained funding to create the department's in-car video program, saved dozens of civilian jobs during budget cuts and brought in funding for multiple crime reduction initiatives in the patrol districts. Most recently, he has managed the 50 million dollar RNC Security Grant from the Department of Justice.
During his 10 years in Patrol, Driscoll earned two Life Saving Awards for rushing into burning homes on two different occasions. In 1989, he saved an elderly man and in
1992 his efforts saved four elderly men from a burning boarding home.
He worked as a Field Training Supervisor for two years before taking on the unique role of working with city's Department of Innovation and Technology to advance the department�s use of technology. He launched the program that put laptops into patrol cars and helped select the department's state of art records management system. The newly appointed Major is best known at the department for creating the four on four off patrol deployment. It increased efficiency and provided more thorough police coverage throughout the city.
Major Driscoll has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Buffalo. He worked six-years as a nuclear engineer before joining the Tampa Police Department to realize his dream of serving the community. He is currently enrolled in the part time law school program at Stetson University. He has two children,
Paul and Stephanie.

Ringworm of the Skin
Ringworm is a fungus infection of the skin; it is not caused by a worm. Ringworm of the skin causes a round rash that may itch and crack.
Ringworm grows well in warm, moist areas, such as locker rooms and swimming pools, and in skin folds. A person can get ringworm by touching someone who has it or by sharing towels, clothing, and sports equipment.
The infection is treated with cream that kills the fungus. If the rash is widespread, a person may need to take pills to kill the fungus.

Who will end with most test wickets?
Anderson 324 aged 31
Broad 212 aged 27
Who will end with most test wickets?
Anderson 324 aged 31
Broad 212 aged 27
Anderson. Just because he's been off for a couple of games doesn't mean he won't steadily accumulate wickets at the rate he has been for the last 3 years. Broad is much more of a burst of wickets bowler but he might get more and more reliable as time goes by.
He's hardly Bruce Reid, but Stu ju is slightly more injury prone than Jimmeh.
Cricket Web's 2013/14 Premier League Tipping Champion
- As featured in The Independent.
"The committee discussed the issue of illegal bowling actions, and believed that there are a number of bowlers currently employing suspect actions in international cricket, and that the ICC's reporting and testing procedures are not adequately scrutinising these bowlers."
- Even the ICC's own official press release thinks things must change
Broad is four year older. In four years you'd expect him to get 120odd. He also seems more capable of getting big hauls than a post 30 year old Anderson.
Only worry for Broad is their contrasting injury records.
Not used to these Poles, though there is a fit one down road.
Interestingly Jimmeh finished the last Ashes series with 212 wickets.
Broad should break whatever record Jimmeh sets.
Mr Anderson.
Jimmy will get well over 400, can't see Broad getting 400.
4 years age difference. If Broad stays fully fit, that gives him roughly another 50 tests to make up the difference, so really even if he never becomes the Ambrose-esque nightmare bowler that he has the potential to be, he should still sail past Anderson. To put things in perspective, at Broad's age Anderson had taken just 140 test wickets at 34.
Anderson ranked 10th now, while Broad's moved ahead of him into 9th position.

Fire crews raced to the scene of a fire in Stoddard County Sunday night. County firefighters got the call to County Road 2-07 south of Advance around 8:30 PM Sunday for a fire at a building once known as the "Old Slaughter House." A passer-by called 911 and when fire crews arrived, flames were shooting out of the building due to high winds. It took about 90 minutes to extinguish. The building is a total loss. The cause is not known but the fire is not considered suspicious. No one was hurt.

In this interview, the PM still believes that his country works:
- the Police protects potential and actual victims
- the Courts deliver Justice
- the CPS ensures that perpetrators are brought to Justice.
Organising meetings of the Forum for Stable Currencies at Westminster has taught me otherwise and led me to publishing Victims Unite:
- innocent people are made bankrupt fraudulently
- all sorts of other white collar crimes are being committed by 'professionals' and people in 'authority'
- innocent children are taken from their families under all sorts of pretexts
- parents are penalised in secret family courts
- parents are criminalised and often imprisoned after shocking court proceedings that are utterly farcical: 200 in 2006, as admitted by Harriet Harman MP.
In short: anything that is meant to be true, is false, and anything that is meant to be false, turns out to be true. But it's a tough learning curve to come to these realisations!
That's what the Emperor's Clothes was about and that's what we are waking up to, in a kind of shock therapy. The PM can't escape this rude awakening either, it seems – thanks to the marvels of the internet!

Residents challenge city over parking at Edgewood Plaza
Original post made on Mar 28, 2014

How many shops/stores are open at Edgewood Plaza? Apart from the supermarket and gas station the place seems very sleepy. Perhaps there is a problem getting retail interested in the area.
As for street parking, that is happening all over town. Loma Verde at Bayshore is now used for parking and with the design of the street and the volume of traffic on Bayshore, it is difficult to negotiate the intersection.
Midtown parking is spilling into neighborhood streets and PAFD using the street for lunch runs doesn't help.
Loma Verde outside Philz is another place where street parking in the bike lanes, particularly by PAPD and PAFD, makes for difficult driving and biking.
It seems that all these so called neighborhood shopping districts are used by people who are driving home and stop en route, rather than by people walking to go shopping.
If you live near a shopping destination, a new residential development or by new office development, then street parking is going to be a big problem. Welcome to the new Palo Alto.
on Mar 28, 2014 at 10:11 am
Hmm interesting. Monitoring seems in order. A Little street parking is expected in a thriving area, the concern is when it is excessive. It's like we know that when we see it.
As a local resident near the center, I wish it to thrive, and it appears to be doing well so far - The Fresh Market reported that location to be doing well. If there were a little spillover of traffic/parking onto the smaller streets nearby, that would be ok - that is expected. For Heaven's sake, here in Duveneck/St. Francis and other city neighborhoods we have gardeners with their huge trucks coming in and parking every day of the week. I would think that commuters would get off 101 and drive right into the center to get to these little offices.
I heard that Specialties (sandwiches) is going in there, hope that's true.
on Mar 28, 2014 at 10:12 am
So these residents also believe that they own the parking rights to their streets.
on Mar 28, 2014 at 10:28 am
While I can walk there, I guess most people visiting a shopping center expect to be able to drive and park there. If all the spots are taken by an office, however small, or the office workers opt to park on all the surrounding residential streets, that does seem to merit consideration. It isn't primarily an "office" center....
on Mar 28, 2014 at 10:32 am
Not surprising that planner Amy French is OK with inadequate parking.
She has held a similar view on Ken Hayes projects.
on Mar 28, 2014 at 10:51 am
Residential parking permits solve almost all problems, can we get on with a city wide program?

ChrisC is a registered user.
After permit parking was instituted in much of College Terrace, JJ&F's parking lot of full of non-shoppers and no street parking there as well, because, in Palo Alto's infinite wisdom, it didn't put permit parking where small business customers need short-term parking. This was before the Garcia's sold the business, and lack of parking might have also contributed to fewer customers. The family tried to get something done with the city about the problem, but ha ha ha. I asked the subsequent owners if they knew about the parking problem when they bought it, and they said no, acknowledging it was a parking. I really like Fresh Market and I want to see it thrive. The new business needs to make due with 16 parking places, clearly marked, and the market will need to pay somebody to stand in the lot and police the use.
on Mar 28, 2014 at 11:38 am
So the City staff hasn't changed it's old ways of doing things, When will they ever learn?
on Mar 28, 2014 at 11:57 am
Hmmm is a registered user.
What's wrong with the office workers parking along the street during the day time?
on Mar 28, 2014 at 12:25 pm
Because they are parking in front of people's houses, and when you buy a house you are entitled to that space on the curb. Its in the constitution.
on Mar 28, 2014 at 12:47 pm
There is a school at the end of my street. Three times a day I can't even use the street for all intents and purposes since buses and parents are always making illegal u turns and clogging up the streets. Maybe I can get the city council make the school move.
It's a long shot I know. And NOT the same situation as Edgewood Plaza. Most importantly, a recent study showed nearly 95% of the residents surrounding the plaza have been there since 1954 or earlier--BEFORE the shopping center went in. So--it's easy to understand their concern. I guess I can't expect the same in my situation...the school was already there when I bought my home.
on Mar 28, 2014 at 2:31 pm
listen robert sporty and other tools for the Over-Development community,
here's whats wrong with parking up neighborhood streets with non-residential parking .its from the Comprehensive plan; ...law
" encourages commercial enterprise, but not at the expense of the City's residential neighborhoods."
City of Palo Alto Comprehensive Plan (Revised 7/17/2007), Chapter 1, Page 3
"Meeting Residential and Commercial Needs."
in addition, as the article stated , in this case with this building the director of planning at the time Curtis Williams , and his agents, Amy French et Al, made as a requirement of the PC zoning for Edgewood Plaza to go forward, a condition that this building could not be used by any business that would require more than 16 parking spaces period
on Mar 28, 2014 at 3:03 pm
Thank you anon
on Mar 28, 2014 at 3:45 pm
The issue is that there is no street parking on the shopping center side of St. Francis. So I can see how the local home owners might be a bit concerned.
As for the first posting in this thread...the shopping center is still under construction. A bank branch has opened next to the market, but all of the remaining space in that bank's building, as well as the next building over (not the office space on the corner) is still under construction. You can't put in more shops until it's done.
There will be a coffee shop/bar going in. Rumor is Starbucks... but that is only a rumor.
on Mar 28, 2014 at 6:12 pm
@Crescent Park Dad - not only is there no parking on the shopping center side of St Francis, there is no parking on the shopping center side of Embarcadero. And in the process of the remodel, they removed over half the on site parking spots to make room for the additional houses they are building on the Channing side. If the city had held out for one fewer house, that probably would have been enough parking for the meditation center.
on Mar 28, 2014 at 11:25 pm
As I understand it, help may be on the way for the residential neighborhoods adjacent to the Edgewood Plaza. The Planning & Transportation Department is in the process of drafting a citywide ordinance for City Council review and approval that will enable neighborhoods impacted by intrusive parking to petition for a Residential Preferential Permit Parking (RPP) program.
At the same time, the City has convened a Stakeholders Group comprised of business representatives and residents from the neighborhoods adjacent to the University Avenue business district to develop a mutually beneficial RPP program for that area. That group has started meeting monthly and those meetings are open to the public. For more information about that group's efforts see:

So, Prof.resident, we should let things get really bad then organize for Residential Parking Permits, petition the city, with an uncertain outcome. Gee, so much trouble for the residents as long as the developer gets to maximize his profit now.
Don't prevent a clearly forseeable problem. As long as the developer isn't required to live up to the rules.
Hard to tell if you are serious and naive or what.
on Mar 29, 2014 at 7:50 am
It is time to use Conditional Use Permits. The City Staff and Council need to set standards for residential neighborhoods, write Conditional Use Permits appropriate for those standards and then enforce the CUPs. It is really a simple process. The City Council can demonstrate its neighborhood stewardship and allegiance to the Comp Plan in this situation.
on Mar 29, 2014 at 7:52 am
Here is the best advice I can give...and a history lesson, too!
Read this editorial!
Web Link
on Mar 29, 2014 at 7:53 am
Please don't shoot the messenger!
If you don't like what's going on organize your neighbors and get involved. Unlike the residential neighborhoods adjacent to the University Avenue business district whose streets are already wall-to-wall cars, you have a golden opportunity to act before intrusive parking actually begins to impact your neighborhood. Now is the time for you and your neighbors to go before the City Council as well as the Director of the Planning & Transportation Department to make them aware of the situation, to start writing letters to the three local newspapers, etc.
If I'm not mistaken, there are folks in your neighborhood who are already concerned about and beginning to work on the problem. Find out who they are and give them a hand.
on Mar 29, 2014 at 10:08 am
The residents are always fighting from behind here just to keep the City
from sliding further into a disastrous decline in quality of life,
character, aesthetics, safety. There is something so wrong here it is
shocking. The track record of the Council and staff is so abysmal all
trust is gone- it is simply a losing fight to try and stay even.
on Mar 29, 2014 at 11:54 am
In reality offices are mostly a 8 to 5 weekday use, you could park cars on outer edges of Edgewood parking lot which might work instead of the street.
Seen shopping busier on the weekends and in the evenings after when people get off work.
on Mar 29, 2014 at 5:03 pm
@Garrett - That would be totally reasonable given the current use of the site. But if the building ends up being used for tech/startup space, it could easily go from 16 people to 65-70 (assuming 150 sq/ft per employee, and all the storage space remains storage space). It makes sense to get in front of the issue.
That said, despite claims earlier in the thread, Fresh Market isn't doing well, and more workers in that building might help the market survive, which is critical for the health of the shopping center, and the good for the neighborhood.

The old Eichler building was also used by HP as a sales office and by Round Table Pizza as their HQ. Having been in the building when these three companies were there, I can say that there were a lot more than sixteen people occupying the place.

Welcome to the NEW Palo Alto.
Just wait until the the Grocery Outlet opens at the old MIKI's..... Edgwood plaza is like a walmart parking lot compared to that dinky place.

And just think what's gonna happen to the traffic on Alma and Middlefield when the counties narrow El Camino down to one lane for cars and one lane for buses in the grand boulevard scheme.

Many neighborhoods in this city are fighting for rights to have parking in front of their homes. We have yet to see the city step up and create a residential parking permit program for all of the neighborhoods that are impacted. This is just one more example of a big problem that already exists. The more this city builds the more likely it will impact more neighborhoods. It's a shame.

Yes...the "rights" to park in front of one's home - truly an entitlement, soughy by the very entitled. It seems in many parts of PA it's preferable to park on the street in front of one's home instead of the driveway.
on Mar 31, 2014 at 2:03 am
@Hmmm - Is Oakland entitled? They have a RPP. How about San Jose? San Francisco? Burlingame? Berkeley?? The constant guilt trip you throw at Palo Alto is really tired. Cities are "entitled" to set parking policies, including residential parking permits to control undesirable overflow parking.
on Mar 31, 2014 at 9:27 am
We have friends who live in an area where Residents have to pay for parking permits for their street parking. Practically every home has turned their front yards into large parking lots with gravel or similar. Some even rent out space to local employees. There is hardly a green area and the only flowers/bushes are in pots or hanging baskets although there are not many of those. The place looks dreadful in my opinion. And, there are few cars parking on the street. When we visit, there is room for us to park in front of the house off road.
I am sure that the residents here have mixed views about parking permits.
on Mar 31, 2014 at 10:41 am
Recycle - yeah, the guilt you accuse Hmmm throwing is rather like the guilt Palo Alto constantly throws at Stanford. Hmmm is right about so many residents not parking in their driveways. I think it makes people more territorial.
How will the Edgewood landlord enforce parking at the shopping center? How about a city-run valet parking service in some areas, as Redwood City has? Why doesn't Palo Alto use pay station parking meters?
on Mar 31, 2014 at 11:35 am
Not all of Oakland has RPP, only places that are near popular places. Lived in Oakland where no RPP, but seen them nearby. Grand Lake/Lakeshore, Rockridge, around BART, amd Piedmont/Kasier.
Parking controls aren't needed city wide.

Stanford is bringing a project to the ARB this Thursday morning at 2500 ElCamino for 70 BMR apts, with reduced parking, 145 spaces where 181 are required. More zoning breakage.
They make the standard excuses, low income people have fewer cars, it's near the bus etc. The ARB architects LOVE big developments, so expect them to love this one.
See the April 2 agenda at Web Link
on Mar 31, 2014 at 11:54 am
@Garrett - You are right, parking controls aren't needed city wide, but there needs to be a city wide program where neighborhoods in need can easily opt in.
@Aquamarine - Stanford and Palo Alto are like a dysfunctional couple. EPA is like the cousin who is asking to borrow money and stay in the guest room.

Recycle - PA is fully deserving of the criticism, and more. Either you're electing the wrong city leaders, or you're getting exactly what you've asked for - development w/out the requisite important parts that make the developer more responsible, such as parking.
People are constantly decrying the loss of PA's character. As a native who lived there for many years, I understand that concern and upset. However, PA lost its ability to be a smaller city filled with character and charm *decades* ago when is smugly played up its Sili Valley mystique and further groomed its relationship with Stanford. It's completely okay if that's what you wanted, but it sounds like many residents didn't. [Portion removed.]
My observation that residents feel entitled to deciding who parks in front of their house stands. Perhaps the relationship between that attitude, who you all elect and who ends up doing business w/your city is better examined than defended.
on Mar 31, 2014 at 2:11 pm
I agree with Hmmm up to a point.
Insofar as local politicians letting developers get away w/o appropriate parking...hey, this is INTENTIONAL by the politicians, irrespective of the developer. Trying to manipulate the little guy/gal into somehow "having to" take public transit (what a joke here!) or bike around (got time for that??)(while likely, hypocritically, these officials are driving a single person luxury car at their own convenience...)
The SV mystique is no mystique it's called VC money. Money gets ya a lot, including overpriced status vehicles.
on Mar 31, 2014 at 4:39 pm
Yes, Hmmm is right that Palo Alto brought these problems on itself through greed, stupidity, lack of foresight, and probably a fair amount of corruption. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try make things better, or at least slow the decline.
on Mar 31, 2014 at 11:15 pm
This can't affect that many residents, can it? If not many, does that make it harder or easier to resolve?
What level of oversight is necessary to ensure that elected officials themselves ensure that developers provide parking? How sneaky is this part of the process, or how much collision actually occurs? I ask because of course the way that this all happens at Stanford is different. Or, maybe not.

I'm with the residents on this one. I think they've been pretty reasonable throughout the redevelopment process--and I think they've got a right to be concerned about having their street parking clogged up. As it is, I'm sure they already get spillover from Embarcadero.
So, why isn't there any parking on the shopping center side of the streets? Is that at all doable?
As for Loma Verde at Bayshore--yes, blame the city. They pushed through the townhouse development with inadequate parking and then, some years later, blocked Girls Middle School from moving into a site near the Baylands on Embarcadero because they didn't want to lose the possible tax revenues from a building in that area. So GMS ended up on West Bayshore where there's not much parking.

"So, why isn't there any parking on the shopping center side of the streets? Is that at all doable?"
The street current features bike lanes on both sides and parking on the residential side of the street. There is not enough room to add parking on the other side of the street...unless you eliminate both bike lanes and re-stripe the center line. I would expect the bike community to object to that idea...
on Apr 5, 2014 at 1:49 pm
Hmmm is a registered user.
If PA residents want to control the public streets, because you can't trust your elected officials and the developers to protect what you consider your interests on public roads, then maybe some grassroots organizing will work.
Trying to track the intricacies of parking issues w/development and redevelopment isn't easy. But creating an advocacy group to lobby for better parking solutions where development/redevelopment is happening might be a good solution.
I find your current trend in thinking that your property rights don't stop at your property lines deeply disturbing, and I am not the only one. My opinion doesn't matter, except that as a close-by former resident who is forced to use your streets and do business in your town, you may want to consider my words as possibly representative of a reasonable perspective. Avoid pitting yourselves in the "us vs. them" game that you did in Crescent Park, ensuring that as stakeholders you have a consistent voice. In truth, it's "us vs. us", and you can use that to your advantage.
On a personal, completely sympathetic note, this is my experience living in a neighborhood now overrun w/cars, and the requisite noise and the decreased quality of life that comes with all of it: Whatever your income level, age, or background, you have a right to quiet enjoyment of your home. You may not have a right to say who parks on your streets, but if the character of your neighborhood is changing significantly due to development, an organized voice of stakeholders canNOT be dismissed if elected officials wish to be re-elected. These future office workers who bring money into your area aren't the enemy, but they can also be conditioned to be considerate if they are to be good tenants. Being mindful that they're in a residential neighborhood is important, and that message can be expressed respectfully to them. For example, a small group of residents with good interpersonal skills might wisely approach the realtor or whoever to deliver good wishes and a request for reciprocal respect so that your quality of life isn't eroded by new tenants of the shopping center. Why people walking to and from their vehicles always love being loud remains a mystery to me, but perhaps they can be trained to behave otherwise. As for the larger issues that you all (and the rest of us who deal w/your city) are faced with re parking, I can personally attest to the power of the people - sometimes it can even best the power of money.
on Apr 5, 2014 at 3:27 pm
My reading of events is that legally construction should be halted at the center until a new EIR is completed. This seems very similar legally to building a damn and finding out that your assumptions about the wild life are incorrect. In this case, the EIR was passed base on the use of the office building not requiring more parking. As part of the PC zoning, if it now requires more parking, construction should be halted. It may be that there is a need for more parking space.
on Apr 5, 2014 at 4:58 pm
@EIR violation, I don't think it would be fair to halt construction at the shopping center based on potential parking problems caused by a building owned by someone else. The office building should solve the parking issues, not the shopping center.
on Apr 5, 2014 at 10:03 pm
And on a more positive note, that whole plaza and office was a horrible eyesore and detriment to the neighborhood for decades. The upside of the remodel far outweighs the downside of the parking issue. Just keep pressing the council for a citywide opt-in parking permit program.

LONDONDERRY— The ninth annual holiday fair at the senior center brought activities and fun for all ages.
Senior center volunteers and Londonderry Senior Citizens Inc. helped organize the event.
Themed baskets and a king-size quilt donated by Jeanne Paniocco were raffled off.
It is the senior center's biggest fundraising event, senior center director Kimberly Bean said.
This year, $3,957 was raised, thanks to the approximate 100 people who showed up to eat and shop.

San Francisco 49ers tight end Vernon Davis explained the rationale behind his absence from the team's voluntary offseason workouts in a guest column he penned in Sports Illustrated's MMQB.
It is not clear if Davis will show up for the start of the 49ers' mandatory minicamp, which begins on Tuesday.
If Davis is not present, he is considered a holdout and the team can fine him.
"In 2010 I signed a five-year, $37 million contract extension with $23 million guaranteed. It was the biggest contract for a tight end in league history," Davis wrote. "Four years later, and I'm playing at a higher level than I was then, which brings me to why I'm holding out. It's all about getting paid what you deserve. It's not that complicated. I want the 49ers to win the Super Bowl, and I want to be on the field this summer working towards that goal, but I have to worry about my future first."
In a radio interview last week, Davis said he plans to be at the team's minicamp. He made similar comments in an interview with ESPN.com on June 5.
"If it's mandatory, I think I should be there," he said. "My foot could get stuck in the grass, and I may not be able to get out ... but if it's mandatory, I think I should be there."
Davis accounted for 13 of the team's 21 receiving touchdowns in 2013, not including two key touchdown catches in the postseason. He became the first tight end in league history to have two seasons of 13 touchdowns.

When it comes to sinning, it turns our most Americans would rather sneak in a milkshake than seek out a sordid affair.
According to CNN Religion, the three most popular sins in America are procrastination, overeating and spending too much time on media.
"You would think it would be sex, drugs and rock and roll," said Todd Hunter, pastor and author of "Our Favorite Sins," whose book was consulted in conjunction with the survey.
When it comes to sex and drugs, only 9 percent of Americans have been tempted by inappropriate sexual acts and 11 percent have been tempted by drugs.
What do you think? Do you agree that procrastination, overeating and spending too much time on media are America's top sins? Let us know in the comments.

The Internal Revenue Service is warning consumers about a sophisticated phone scam targeting taxpayers.
59News reporter Jessie Gavin found out how you can protect yourself.
The letters "IRS" are popping up on caller ID's and victims are told they owe money to the IRS which must be paid immediately through a pre-loaded debit card or wire transfer. To those who don't immediately cooperate, the scammers often threaten arrest, deportation or other penalties.
"I would probably trust it, if it came on the caller ID as IRS I would probably trust it and be ignorant enough to give them all my information simply because it pops up IRS," Raleigh County resident Michael Lilly told us.
But others say they know anyone asking for private information over the phone is probably not who they say they are.
"I don't owe anything or even if I did, the IRS isn't going to call your house like that I don't think," another resident of Raleigh County, Carl Daniel said.
"I know I don't owe anyone so you aren't getting any information from me," said April Athey.
As the holiday season approaches, scammers are popping up everywhere preying on those feeling a bit more generous this time of year.
"Thieves or scammers will take advantage of people's good tidings this time of year when they feel that it's more important to give and they will be more likely to get more money or find more victims," said Raleigh County Lt. James Miller.
Although very difficult to catch, Miller told 59News what the charges would be for a scam of this nature.
"The very least charge would be obtaining money over false pretenses. Anything under $1,000 is a misdemeanor and anything over $1,000 is a felony," he said.
According to the IRS's website at http://www.irs.gov/uac/Newsroom/IRS-Warns-of-Pervasive-Telephone-Scam :
If you get a phone call from someone claiming to be from the IRS, here's what you should do:

According to PwC's annual "Global Entertainment and Media Outlook 2013-2017", consumers' access to Entertainment and Media content and experience worldwide has globally become more democratic as internet access and the number of smart device users increase day by day. E&M industry which has retained a double-digit growth rate in recent years in Turkey is expected to maintain this upward trend. After reaching a size of over USD10.2 billion in Turkey in 2012, the sector is expected to hit USD11.6 billion by the end of 2013, and approximately USD17.5 billion by 2017, with an annual average growth rate of 11.4% through the next five years.
Get the latest critical insights for your segment and territory. Learn more about the E&M Outlook.
Throughout the period between 2013 and 2017 covered by the Outlook; China, Brazil, India, Russia, the Middle East and Northern Africa, Mexico, Indonesia and Argentina will nearly double their share in total E&M revenue and thereby will achieve the highest growth rate in this segment. Average compound annual growth rates of these markets will be equal to almost 22% of the total global E&M revenue foreseen in 2017, nearly double the rate of 12% in 2008. More mature markets with more advanced technology in North America, Western Europe and the Asian Pacific will dominate the channelling of global change to digital consumption of E&M services.

Qt has supported static builds for a long time, but iOS made this way of shipping Qt more widespread. To make the discussion about static linking more practical, we will not discuss things abstractly, but we will look at how to compile the Weather Info example application from the Qt Positioning module statically for iOS, and address questions as they come up.
We are happy to announce the release of qbs 1.3.0 today. Qbs, or Qt Build Suite, is a general cross-platform build tool that uses a language similar to QML for project description. Qbs can be used for any software project, whether it is written in Qt or not and it simplifies the build process for developing projects across multiple platforms.
If you haven't tried it out yet, we strongly encourage you to take it for a spin to see how convenient building with Qbs is! Check out the documentation for more details.
For this release, we have concentrated on improving the integration with Qt Creator. The main points are:
We think that these items, combined with a number of important bugfixes, have improved the user experience of working with qbs in Qt Creator a lot.
On the language side, it is now possible to set different profiles for particular products. This is important for projects that need to produce binaries for different architectures.
Also, we have once again reduced the memory footprint significantly.
20 years ago, Trolltech, the company that created Qt, was founded. One of its founding principles was to release Qt as free software to the open source community. In the early versions, this was limited to Unix/Linux and the X11 windowing system. Over the years, more and more platforms were included into the open source version of Qt.
At the same time, the licenses under which Qt was available evolved. The Qt 1.x source code was still released under a rather restrictive license. With Qt 2, we moved over to the QPL. Some years later, with Qt 4.0, Qt started to embrace the GPL v2, to remove some license conflicts between GPL-based applications and the QPL.
Trolltech was involved in talks with the Free Software Foundation (FSF) when the GPL v3 was created, and we added this license as an optional license for Qt after it was published by the FSF. Finally, in 2009 Nokia added LGPL v2.1 as a licensing option to Qt.
The spirit of all GNU licenses is about a strong copyleft, giving users rather strong access and rights to the source code of application and libraries. It was always meant to protect the users' freedom to modify the application and underlying libraries and run the modified application.
We are happy to announce the Qt Creator 3.2.0 release today. This release adds many smaller and larger features, as well as fixing bugs. A few examples:
Enterprise Qt Creator users can now also use the QML profiler to debug their JavaScript memory usage in QML. (This is only available when using Qt 5.4 for the debugged application.)
Also have a look at our change log, for a more complete overview. I also want to thank the more than 50 contributors to this version of Qt Creator.
You find the opensource version on the Qt Project download page, and Enterprise packages on the Qt Account Portal. Please post issues in our bug tracker. You also can find us on IRC on #qt-creator on irc.freenode.net, and on the Qt Creator mailing list.
Note: With Qt Creator 3.2 we drop support for OS X 10.6 (Snow Leopard). The technical reason for this is that Apple does not support any kind of C++11 on that OS version. Of course that does not affect on which platforms you can run your Qt applications on. But it is not possible to run the Qt Creator 3.2 binaries on 10.6, and it also is not possible to compile Qt Creator 3.2 on 10.6 with the tool chains provided by Apple.
Qt Weekly is back from vacation with a post from a guest blogger (*applause*). In this post, Lorenz Haas tells us how to link Qt classes in custom documentation that is generated by using Doxygen.
By mid-2008, Sebastian Pipping introduced doxygen2qthelp for generating Qt Compressed Help files (*.qch) via Doxygen. Already by the end of the year, it was successfully merged into Doxygen. While 188.8.131.52 still had some mirror problems, version 1.5.8 provided stable and comprehensive support for creating QCH files out of the box. See Sebastian's announcement as well as David Boddie's article in Qt Quarterly.
Since then, this feature – I guess – has been used a thousand, a million times. Nowadays, I personally can't imagine working without it. This is because it integrates perfectly into my favorite IDE – Qt Creator. There I can use my own documentation for context-sensitive help that can be triggered by the F1-shortcut:
Over the last years, many changes have been happening in the Qt ecosystem. One of the biggest was the creation of Qt Project where Qt is now being developed as an open source project. The Qt Project was created to provide a space open for all to further develop and foster innovation for the Qt technology.
Qt has always been a commercial product. During the Trolltech days licensing income funded development of the product. While Nokia's motivations were different, at Digia, our goal is to again make sure that Qt thrives for all industries, all companies, all users no matter what platform. That said, we need to make sure the business of selling Qt as a product is successful in order to fund its future development for the good of everyone in our ecosystem. The importance of Digia's commercial business for securing the future of Qt cannot be underestimated as it drives Qt's foundation and everyday operations. A look into the commit statistics shows that around 75% of all code submissions to qt-project.org come from Digia employees. In addition, Digia manages the release process and the CI and testing infrastructure, thus covering more than 85% of the costs of developing Qt.
Read more…
We are happy to announce the Qt Creator 3.2 RC1 release today. Since the beta we have been busy fixing bugs. We encourage you to try this RC and give us feedback on its quality.
The beta blog post already mentioned a few new features such as "column editing", but there are a lot more new features. To mention just a few:
As the dog days of summer carry on, we at Digia, Qt are swatting down flies, mosquitoes and bees while we fan ourselves in the unusual summer heat currently striking Scandinavia … in Oslo … at least.
Meanwhile, on a cool note, the Fun Propulsion Labs at Google announced last week that, VoltAir a single and multi-player game built with Qt is available for download via the Google Play Store and as open source software. Coolbeans!
VoltAir was developed to provide an example of a C++ game designed for both Android and Android TV and the folks at Google also tested it on Nexus 5, Nexus 7, Moto X by Motorola, Android TV, and some Samsung devices.

We are happy to announce the Qt Creator 3.2 beta today. So you can already check out the many improvements we have done for the upcoming 3.2 release, and, not to forget, give us feedback on what we have so far. We mostly concentrated on stability and improvements, so no completely new platform supported this time, sorry . I'll randomly highlight some of the changes here, but you should probably check out our change log as well for a more thorough overview, and just download the binaries and try it for yourself.

ST. PETERSBURG -- As Ben Zobrist was signing baseballs, his wife, Julianna, was signing CDs.
The couple held a meet-and-greet at the Rays Team Store at Tropicana Field on Saturday afternoon before Tampa Bay's matchup with Baltimore to promote Julianna's new album, "Say It Now."
"We signed a lot of autographs and sold a lot of CDs," Ben said. "It was a great event and great to just connect with some people, too."
The Rays veteran said that for 2 1/2 hours, there was a steady line of fans who wished to meet the two and have their memorabilia signed.
Fans who frequent Tropicana Field for Rays games may already recognize the album's hit single, "Behind Me," which plays before each of Ben's at-bats. He added that the album is starting to gain some airtime on the radio and hopes the Christian-inspired music will gain even more support from local stations.
Improved D key to Rays' pitching prowess
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays have been proving lately that they don't need to score many runs to win.
Tampa Bay entered Saturday's game against Baltimore having won five of its last six and relying heavily on its pitching staff, which in that span had allowed just five runs, four of which came in the club's only loss.
The Rays' strong pitching hasn't been confined to the past week, either. Since the All-Star break, the club leads the Majors with a 2.34 ERA and is holding opposing batters to a .202 average.
Rays manager Joe Maddon said he feels the strong run can continue.
"Our guys are well; they're healthy," Maddon said. "I don't think their innings pitched are too high, nor number of pitches thrown. I'm talking about the starters and relievers."
At times, the pitching staff has been tasked with lots of work, including a 14-inning game on July 20 and a 15-inning contest 10 days later. Maddon said that as the season progresses, he thinks his starters will continue to pitch deeper into games to help preserve the bullpen, which has a Major League-best 1.40 ERA since the break.
"That's going to take an inning or two off here or there, and that's going to be helpful," Maddon said. "The young starters are going to start going deeper into games. I like the pitching a lot, not a little, and I think that's going to be the key to our success."
Unquestionably, Tampa Bay's defense has played a hand in keeping opponents off the scoreboard. In the 86 games before the break, the club committed 71 errors, but in the 20 games since, that total is just seven -- tied for third fewest in the Majors.
"When you're catching the ball, you have to make less pitches; the pitcher has more defense," Maddon said. "When you're catching the ball, you're probably in a better state of mind. When you don't make mistakes, you feel better about yourselves. There's a lot of complementary things that occur when you do those things well and right."
Extra bases
Maddon said that third baseman Evan Longoria -- recovering from a partially torn left hamstring -- felt sore after Friday's rehab start with Triple-A Durham but would be fine to play on Saturday and would likely have Sunday off. Longoria went 0-for-4 with a walk on Friday. In six games with Durham -- all as the designated hitter -- he is 3-for-19 (.158) with six walks and seven strikeouts.
The Rays have sold out of tickets for their first "Bark in the Park" event, to take place during Sunday's 1:40 p.m. ET game. Fans can bring their dog to a special seating area, and the game will also feature a DJ Kitty bobblehead giveaway and a postgame concert by The Wiggles.
