Plan II Alumni: 1940s
Harry L. Reed
After completing graduation requirements in July of 1943, I became a U.S. Naval Officer for 3 years, spent mostly in the Pacific on two minesweepers, (was skipper of the second one), where I learned how to sweep mines when they get dirty, how to chase submarines (presuming they would run from us) and what a great food Spam is (as long as you don't try to eat it). We got shot at many times in the operation to reclaim Guam, but were never hit. Then to Law School at UT, finishing in 1948. Then came 37 years with Shell's Legal Department, retiring in 1985 to become Professor of Law at South Texas College of Law in Houston (where and which I still am). I had been an adjunct teacher at STCL since 1952 and must have taught well over 8,000 lawyers all told, many of whom became judges. Highwater marks of Plan II for me were: Dr. Clarence Ayres's course in Social Science, Dr. Annie S. Irvine's course in World Literature and Dean H. T. Parlin's course in Modern Literature. Personal Data: married 54 years to Betty Ghiselin (Southwestern U., 1948); 4 grown married children; 7 grandchildren. The marriage and children were all on purpose! I plan to become the oldest living Plan II graduate.

Desperate times call for desperate measures. And parents of a 12-year-old are desperate for help to save their son.
The Chowdhurys, who keep shuttling between Mumbai and Kolkata, their home town, to meet doctors, have now taken to social networking sites to gather support for their son Arian who is suffering from an incurable disease called Mucopolysaccharidosis Type II (Hunter Syndrome). He was diagnosed with the disease when he was only four years old.
According to medical literature, around 2,000 people worldwide from a population of 7 billion suffer from this rare genetic disorder. The disease, which spreads slowly, drastically reduces life expectancy. Annually, Rs1 crore is needed to treat the ailment.
Child specialist and Institute of Child Health director Apurba Ghosh said, "His bones have become stiff and he is unable to bend his fingers or toes. There is facial deformity and his liver has enlarged. But his brain is still fine. The only way to arrest his condition is by injecting a critical enzyme that is deficient in his body."
"The treatment is called Enzyme Replacement Therapy, which is given in the form of intravenous injections. Also required is the drug Elaprase, which is available with only one company in the world — Shire HGT, an American firm. But the vials are too expensive for any individual to afford the treatment that costs around Rs2 lakh a week," said Sib Sankar Chowdhury, Arian's father.
Dr Mamta Murugun, consultant clinical genetic at PD Hinduja Hospital and one of Arian's several doctors, said, "A charitable programme has been initiated by Shire HGT. It is in the preliminary stage in India, but I hope a few deserving patients benefit from it."
Except in developed nations, most patients die young, with parents unable to afford the lifelong treatment of Rs1 crore a year. In severe cases, children survive till 11-12 years. In Arian's case, doctors have said he may live till 17-18.
"It feels so helpless to see Arian's condition deteriorate, more so knowing there is a treatment available. The cost is so enormous that we can't expect it to be met by individual benevolence. Only the government can urge the drug firm to be more generous. We are gathering support on social networking sites like Twitter (@Save_Arian) and have started a petition on change.org/arian," said Chowdhury.

I think Sean might be a tad disappointed in one of the Leopard features called Time Machine. It would appear the new backup feature didn't live up to his expectations. Here's a quote from his blog entry:
"But with two-and-a-half years of development, Apple has surely gotten backup right in Leopard, right? Time machine certainly demos well... Having installed it tonight, however, I can tell you that Apple's advertising is correct. Time Machine is a "giant leap backward."
"But with two-and-a-half years of development, Apple has surely gotten backup right in Leopard, right? Time machine certainly demos well... Having installed it tonight, however, I can tell you that Apple's advertising is correct. Time Machine is a "giant leap backward."
See http://blogs.technet.com/seanearp/archive/2007/10/27/time-machine-apple-s-advertising-is-correct.aspx for the entire post. Sean makes some good points so it is worth a read even if you have no plans to ever run a Mac and OS X v10.5.
Sean's expectation that Time Machine should work with network storage is normal but impractical. Time Machine requires file and directory multi-linking (that's how you get normal-looking complete file trees without an explosion in size), and there's no way to do that over SMB or on hardly any other file system format (even *nix file systems that have file multi-linking usually don't have directory multi-linking, which is why Apple is going to support Sun's ZFS).
So Time Machine truly is a big step forward is backup performance and ease-of-use. There are network file servers with shadow storage and the like, but they cost more and are much harder to use. And Windoze of course won't have it for years.
Yea, the instancing issue isn't an easy technical challenge. I actually think it's a cool feature and plan to have some fun with it. I would imagine the customer using Leopard Xsan are also going to love it. Since I haven't played with it yet, does Time Machine automatically switch between a locally attached drive, and a Xsan server? I was wondering about someone who works part of the time in the office, and part of the time at home.
Another question I'd like to learn when I get my Pro machine next week is on the subject of imaging. I'm used to taking Windows snapshots via an imaging tool like Ghost or TrueImage, do imaging tools exist for Leopard so I can created a DVD image set, or an image on an external disk? When I asked the person doing the demo of Time Machine, they said it doesn't do imaging.
Hey, lets tone down the remarks about Windoze. I'll try keep mine professional, too. If I go out of bounds, let me know.
For once I get to review a feature from the end-user perspective, and completely gloss over the difficulty behind the scenes in technically implementing the feature.
When I talk about Windows features, it is from the perspective of someone participating on internal Discussion Lists where the Program Managers and Developers explain why they made the decisions that they did. I am sure that there are some entirel logical reasons why Apple architected this feature to only work over AFP to shares on an HFS+ formatted volume, but from a selfish end-user perspective, I want to be able to back up to my huge network drive (that Leopard can read and write to with no problems) :)
Unfortunately, once Apple develops a feature that is "Good Enough", 3rd party development in these areas tends to cease. If Apple doesn't add support for backup to SMB shares, I'm afraid no-one will. Time to head to Frys and pick up an external drive for my MBP. Good thing they are so cheap :)
Just use Disk Utility to create disk images. They can be compressed to save space and/or encrypted. You can easily backup/restore that way (and I do before things like system upgrades).
To do a block-by-block copy between disks be sure to check "Erase destination", otherwise you'll get a file-by-file copy (which is handy though when changing file system formats).
Disk Utility can now also increase the size of a partition, but not (AFAICT) reduce it even though I've been able to do a block restore to make the partition smaller.
I've upgraded three of my four systems to Leopard and have done some Time Machine backups. Hiccups have been fairly minor (the Unsanity Application Enhancer conflict had me quite annoyed Friday night though, I'm used to Apple upgrades being flawless...) and I'm very happy to have a backup regime that works the way I want it to!

The Duke was left with a £12m bill when a culvert collapsed on his land, causing severe flood damage to a housing development. It forced many families to be moved from their homes, and a number of demolitions have taken place since.
Items sold included The Garden Of Eden And The Fall Of Man, painted by Jan Brueghel the Elder, for £6.8m. A Roman marble statue of Aphrodite sold for £9.3m, setting a new record for any classical sculpture sold at auction in Europe.

French ambassador barred from Rwanda genocide commemorations
Published on Apr 7, 2014 3:50 PM
KIGALI (AFP) - The French ambassador to Rwanda said on Monday he has been barred from attending events marking the 20th anniversary of the genocide, amid a major diplomatic row surrounding France's controversial role in the events of 1994.
"Yesterday night the Rwandan foreign ministry telephoned to inform me that I was no longer accredited for the ceremonies," the French ambassador, Michel Flesch, told AFP.
French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira pulled out of attending Monday's events after Rwandan President Paul Kagame repeated his accusation of French "participation" in the murder of 800,000 ethnic Tutsis.
France, an ally of the Hutu nationalist government prior to the 1994 killings, has repeatedly denied any complicity in the genocide.

Were you aware the natural color of glass is green? Glass only changes color when other minerals are added, so you could say that these hand-blown glass mugs are in their truest, natural form. Plus, since they're hand-crafted, they have an endearing quality of being similar yet not identical. Measures 3" x 5." Hand wash with warm water and mild soap.
This piece is an example of a commonly used household item. It is not a reproduction of an artifact. Each piece was hand-blown and is one of a kind. No two pieces are identical. This piece measures approximately 3 high.
The natural color of glass is green, because sand has iron oxide or rust in it naturally. To change the color, a metal must be added
c.1680-1730; Named after its similar appearance to an onion. This bottle was a result of the needs from tavern owners who desired a more stable bottle, which was less prone to breakage in the taverns. The onions neck was much shorter than earlier bottles and the squat broad base was a much more stable form. Handblown Glass Onion Bottle is approx. 8'' tall and 1 1/2'' in diameter. Holds about 56 oz of liquid.
Case bottles were the most common glass vessels in the first half of the 17th century and were used for storing wine. Their use at Jamestown was wide spread where literally hundreds were recovered. The name derives from the square sides of the bottle that allowed them to be packed into a wooden box or case for easy transport. Bottle is approximately 9" high
Before the gel pen or ball point, or even the fountain pen, was the dip or nib pen. With its metal tip, the dip pen is far more durable than its predecessor, the quill pen. This handsome, brass-trimmed, blue painted wood box holds two pen handles, eight interchangeable nibs, one 2 fluid oz. bottle each of Bordeaux and sienna inks.
Small oil lamps were used in the 1800's to set the duration of a visit for a gentleman caller. When the lamp went out so did he. This piece measures 7 high.
All of the Jamestown Glasshouse produced pieces are hand-blown and crafted by local artisans. The natural color of glass is green so if you seek historical accuracy then your best selection is the green glass items.

" maybe they are just pussys?" , I know where you live.... I'm thinking I might head that way and give you some Three Stooge's type treatments. That road sucked in 2010, "yea, it's great, you shouldn't have any problems in that truck (with a camper) and trailer" We only had to stop twice to screw the trailers siding back on. I have the video to prove it.
Road crews were working on paving it at the time. We talked to some locals who said the road crews were averaging about 20 miles a year. It would make since that they were almost to Bay Of Gonzaga by now. Kinda bumms me out, for my own selfish reasons. But anyway, north of Coco's was decent then and the turn to hit Mex 1 was only about 12 miles of rough stuff (for a truck with a camper and over loaded trailer). I'll have to check with some guys racing the 1000 who are in the area to find out the conditions. It'd be an excellent route for our chase crew during the Mex 1K, If this is true.
We did stay at Gonzaga, hehehe, but it was getting dark and we wanted to get something to drink so we could eat dinner.

Because of China's advertising practices, the scientific approach to marketing does not always work in this market.
If you have spent enough time in China, you know the advertising business is always a struggle of street smart versus book smart. In this column, I'd like to summarise some advertising practices in China and share them with you.
First, I have been questioning Baidu for controlling the search data. Google looks at the whole PPC universe as an ecosystem. It believes that opening search data will facilitate advertisers and eventually will be at Google's advantage when the advertisers buys keywords from the search engine.
On the contrary, Baidu's keyword tool is technically not a free tool. You need to open an account, deposit the money, and then you can use the tool. If you want to develop a tool using Baidu's API, you need to be qualified according to your business relationship with Baidu. Even though China's search advertising market is worth over 10 billion yuan, surprisingly you cannot find more than five or even less good keyword tools. It is not about technical deficiency. Instead, it is because the Chinese search engine has yet to open its gate.
Recently, I also learned a case about a Chinese domain name registrar who without notifying his client changed a domain name status to 'CLIENT HOLD'. If a domain name is on 'client hold' status, no DNS record will be resolved, meaning that the website of the domain name is out of service. The incident happened coincidentally with the domain name registrar who is also a subsidiary of Alibaba and the affected domain name is the competitor of Alibaba!
Now there is a campaign in China to promote, not to register the domain name with any Chinese domain name registrar in order to avoid wrongful or vaguely imposed policy. I also found a banner message (see below) in Chinese saying "Oppose Internet hegemony and advocate the regulation for domain name registration."
As a marketer who believes in the scientific approach, having autonomy to manage my own ad plan is important, especially for digital advertising that is so dynamic and fast moving. Ironically, when the ad world is moving towards openness, China's advertising market is moving backward - data as the key ingredient for a successful digital advertising campaign is actually a scarcity.
As we know, there is no easy market in the business world. Don't be evil or do evil can be a subjective consciousness. My experience of doing advertising business in China is both exhausting and exciting. And my advice for you is to seek your own balance and don't ever think that the book smart will always rule.

IO-lite: A copy-free UNIX I/O system
Pai, Vivek Sadananda
Zwaenepoel, Willy
Master of Science thesis
Memory copy speed is known to be a significant barrier to high-speed communication. We perform an analysis of the requirements for a copy-free buffer system, develop an implementation-independent applications programming interface (API) based on those requirements, and then implement a system that conforms to the API. In addition, we design and implement a fully copy-free filesystem cache. Performance tests indicate that our system dramatically outperforms traditional systems on communications-oriented tasks by a factor of 2 to 10. Application programs that have been modified to utilize our copy-free system have also shown reductions in run time, ranging from 10% to nearly 50%.

Captain's practice commences for Bruins
|09.07.10 at 12:29 pm ET
WILMINGTON — The Bruins wrapped up their first captain's practice, featuring 13 skaters and a pair of goaltenders, Tuesday around noontime at Ristuccia Arena. The practice, which consisted of some offensive drills and some scrimmaging, featured some happy faces as players began the process off the preseason. Here are the guys that suited up for the Bruins' first captain's practice:
Forwards: Milan Lucic, Nathan Horton, Gregory Campbell, Shawn Thornton, David Krejci, Daniel Paille, Brad Marchand.
Defensemen: Zdeno Chara, Johnny Boychuk, Adam McQuaid, Mark Stuart, Andrew Ference, Dennis Seidenberg.
Goaltenders: Tuukka Rask, Matt Dalton
There were a few positives that came from the session. For starters, David Krejci wasn't fooling when he said he'd be good to go for camp. With his wrist surgery and recovery in the rearview mirror, he didn't seem to be slowed.
' Tim Thomas was around prior to practice but did not skate with teammates.
' Mark Recchi didn't skate with his teammates but suited up after practice and skated by himself.
' Horton's teammates spoke highly of their new winger after practice. The Bruins' biggest trade acquisition this offseason, Horton said his old team had a captain's practice-type skate when he was in Florida, but that "a lot of guys didn't come."
' Chara, Horton and Stuart spoke following the skate. Check back here later for what they had to say as they prepare for the 2010-11 season.

The Good:
Abe was last seen showing his sweet side during
where he canoodled with
Queen Bee, Coral. On the
he was caught doing more than that with Veronica and Rachel--at the same time.
The Bad:
Despite his physical and mental strength, Abe's overzealousness usually leads to DQs and getting voted off.
The Ugly:
Since Coral isn't on this
(gasp!), will we see the non-sweet side of Abe? The side that beats people up when he loses his temper?

Rome, Italy
My Rating
Terrific experience. Wonderful guide
Rome, Italy
My Rating
Driver very scarey. Booking agent really screwed us. Three people were a one hours drive across Rome from the Vatican. That made the trip 2 hours longer than necessary. We will never do this again. The reckless driving had us on edge for 13 hours.
Rome, Italy
My Rating
Best most fun you can have in Rome. We loved it and we are in iur 60s.

|Teaching the French horn: Improved methods and resources [abstract]
|Baker, Laura
|University of Missouri-Columbia. Office of Undergraduate Research
instrumental music teachers
|University of Missouri - Columbia Office of Undergraduate Research
|For instrumental music teachers, training successful French horn players can be a frustrating endeavor, because the playing technique, range, holding position, and other unique challenges of the instrument are often stumbling blocks for young students. While horn players often represent the top tier of a band in academic performance, it is difficult to motivate talented students to practice and play an instrument at which they are not as successful as they desire and expect to be. Therefore, like learning to play a sport or acquiring any comparable skill, it is important for students to learn to play an instrument without the hindrances created by avoidable bad habits. This project is an effort to empower teachers and students by increasing their knowledge and understanding of horn playing and pedagogy. The results of a survey of instrumental music teachers throughout Missouri were used to rank common difficulties in young horn players, as well as to gather and compile advice from experienced teachers. Books and other resources written by nationally and internationally recognized horn performers and pedagogues were used to supplement, support, and refute the advice offered by instrumental music teachers. Resources to provide information and solutions to combat reported difficulties were created based on the expressed needs of teachers and students.

Used needle nose pliers to grab the back of the rack rail end cap, pull it backwards and down. Twist it out. Go easy so you don't break it. After removing the left and right rack rail end caps the old rack rollers snap off by hand, and the new snap on in their place by hand. Tips from others helped me see what to do. Thanks.

Real Madrid management have settled on Chelsea striker Didier Drogba as their top attacking transfer target for the summer market.
DiarioSport says Real chiefs have agreed to focus their efforts on signing Drogba ahead of Ajax's Klaas-Jan Huntelaar because of the Ivorian's greater experience and ability to handle the pressure of playing for a major European club.
Real sports director Pedja Mijatovic will now accelerate talks with Chelsea over a fee for Drogba, well aware that AC Milan and Inter are also chasing the 30 year-old.

AHIP releases new study of Medigap market
WASHINGTON, March 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Groundbreaking research on Medicare supplemental insurance (Medigap) challenges previous assumptions about Medigap's impact on Medicare costs. The new study by America's Health Insurance Plans (AHIP) was published this week in the journal Health Affairs. AHIP also released a new analysis of the Medigap market which found that Medigap enrollment has remained constant in recent years, showing the value this option provides for Medicare beneficiaries.
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20040830/AHIPLOGO )
"The new data provide a fresh perspective on Medigap coverage and its effect on health care costs in Medicare," said Karen Ignagni, President and CEO of AHIP.
Previous studies have asserted that Medigap policyholders incur as much as 25 percent more Medicare expenditures than beneficiaries with fee-for-service (FFS) Medicare only because Medigap generally provides coverage on a first-dollar basis, meaning it does not require any cost-sharing for beneficiaries.
The AHIP study shows that nearly half of this apparent increase in Medicare expenditures can be explained by controlling for the use of services received through the Veterans Administration (VA) or at military facilities. Thirteen percent of FFS-only beneficiaries relied on the VA or military facilities as their primary source of care, compared to just one percent of Medigap purchasers. These services are not billed to Medicare, causing Medicare costs for FFS-only beneficiaries to appear artificially low compared to beneficiaries with Medigap coverage.
Further, beneficiaries' health status may explain much of the remaining
difference in health costs between these two groups. Previous studies
argued that Medigap policyholders were healthier than FFS-only
beneficiaries. These s

A US-based Pakistani banker, who was abducted for ransom in his home country, has been killed, police said on Friday.
Young Taimoor, 28, had visited Pakistan with his wife to spend some time with his family in Lahore, capital of Punjab province, when he was abducted.
Taimoor's body has been recovered, the police said. Five people, including a quack who wanted to use the brain of the deceased for making medicine for epilepsy, were arrested in this connection.
The abductors first demanded Rs.10 million in ransom which was later reduced to Rs. 5 million after negotiations with the family.
The family paid Rs.200,000 as upfront payment and sought time to arrange for the remaining amount.
While in captivity, Taimoor identified a couple of abductors, who got frightened and decided to get rid of him. The leader of the gang, a quack named Abdul Wahab, said Taimoor should be burnt alive and buried.
Police said the "accused took-out several organs of the deceased and sold them to illegal dealers of human organs in hospitals while the gang leader wanted to keep the brain for making medicine for epilepsy".
"They have admitted their crime," Dunya TV reported.
A couple of friends of Taimoor were also among the accused who committed the crime thinking that he had returned from the U.S. with a lot of money.
The deceased was a nephew of senior police officer Ghalib Ali Bandesha.

An 8-year-old painter, a 24-year-old photographer and the documentary about their Facebook-forged friendship were the objects of overwhelming buzz during this year's Sundance Film Festival.
Buzz, of course, can induce lemming reactions or contrarian skepticism. So how lovely it is to find that Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost's "Catfish" is absolutely deserving of that persistent hum.
Opening exclusively today at the Regal Colorado Center, the documentary delves into what is arguably the story of our time: social media; how it's reconfiguring human interaction, how it links folk who otherwise might never have made life-altering contact.
"Catfish" raises questions about how sites like Facebook allow users to craft their profiles in ways that may reflect inner truths and deep hankering but also can represent what we generally consider fabrications. Or lies.
At the end of this exquisitely poignant film, it's clear we humans are going to need a refreshed emotional skill set if we're to make sense of the real relationships we forge in our virtual worlds.
If the above sounds a bit vague — or highfalutin — it's because it's important not to give too much away. "Catfish" goes to such unusual places, it would be uncharitable to reveal its stunning twists.
Here are some pertinent points. Eight-year-old Abby of Ishpeming, Mich., contacts New Yorker Yaniv "Nev" Schulman via his Facebook page. She asks permisson to paint some of his photographs. Schulman mostly documents dance performances, and Abby's resulting paintings are impressive.
The two strike up a sweet online correspondence, a meeting of artists, as well as adult and kid.
As their online relationship evolves, Ariel Schulman and filmmaking partner Joost can't resist the obvious: This newfangled pen-pal friendship could make a fascinating movie. And so Schulman — Nev's older brother — and Joost turn the cameras on Nev.
The younger Schulman is a charming if ambivalent star. The movie's substantial vulnerability comes as he wavers between comfort and discomfort with so much revelation.
Abby's mother, Angela, knows about the friendship and is often a point of contact for Nev. Over time, Nev and Abby's family get to know — and care about — one another.
Most surprising, Abby's older sister, Megan, and Nev strike up a Facebook friendship that blossoms into a romance of cellphone calls and late-night texts.
As expected, a meeting must happen.
Totally unexpected, however, is the information that sends the Schulman brothers and Joost on a road trip to find Megan.
On the way to the doorstep of a Victorian home in a former coal-mining town, the filmmakers and Nev encounter subtle chills and improbably humane thrills in what is a terrifically compassionate exploration of human bonding.
Film critic Lisa Kennedy: 303-954-1567 or firstname.lastname@example.com; also on blogs.denverpostcom/ madmoviegoer
PG-13 for some sexual references. 1 hour, 26 minutes. Directed by Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost; photography by Joost, Ariel and Nev Schulman; paintings by Angela Wesselman-Pierce. Opens today at United Regal Colorado Center.

More than four months after the conclusion of the high school swimming season, the honors keep rolling in for former Jackson standout Chase Kinney and her teammates.
More than four months after the conclusion of the high school swimming season, the honors keep rolling in for former Jackson standout Chase Kinney and her teammates.
The latest — and arguably biggest — since Kinney closed her career as state champion in the 50- and 100-yard freestyle Feb. 23, came earlier this week from the National Interscholastic Swimming Coaches Association.
After compiling times from high school swimmers around the nation, Kinney earned All-America honors for her performances in the 50 and 100 freestyles, as well as the 200 freestyle relay.
Kinney's state record time of 22.53 in the finals of the 50 free placed her in a tie for second in the nation with Lindsey Engel of Irvine, Calif. Olivia Smoliga of Glenview, Ill., set a national record of 21.99 last November to claim the top spot.
Kinney's time of 49.70 in the 100 free placed her eighth in the nation in that event. Engel had the top 100 time of 48.96.
Also, Kinney and teammates Elizabeth Graeff, Haley Locke and Kaitlyn Daiger earned recognition for their 200 free relay time of 1:37.04. That time was fourth in February's state meet and placed the quartet 91st in the nation. The top 100 times compiled by NISCA earn All-America
"It's a pretty big deal, a really big deal," Jackson swimming coach Matt Ziders said. "For Chase as an individual to be ranked so high is something else. It's quite an honor for her.
"It's another feather in her cap. The girl that was first (Smoliga) set the national record. She was fourth in the Olympic Trials in the 100 backstroke and made the Trials in the 50 free, so she's a super-accomplished international swimmer."
Ziders pointed to another list of times compiled by USA Swimming in an attempt to help frame Kinney's standout career at Jackson.
"USA Swimming also compiles a list of all-time times," Ziders said. "Of any high school girl who's ever swam a 50-free in history, her time is in the top-30. That's not just high school, that's kids who are swimming for a club, a 'Y' team or USA Swimming. All those kids are compiled in that list, so that's just a very impressive accomplishment for her.
"All that puts into perspective, as you get farther away from it, that her (Chase's) time is really something special."
Ziders said Kinney has already left for the University of Wisconsin, where she figures to make an immediate impact in the pool. With more coaches, better training facilities and the natural maturation process, Ziders feels Kinney isn't done pulling in plaudits.
"Once she's at Wisconsin for a while, getting her feet wet and being around all the great coaches and great training they have, she's going to continue to take off and do some really special things," Ziders said.
Page 2 of 2 - Until then, Ziders will look forward to building next season's girls team around talented performers like Graeff, Daiger and Locke.
"It's great to have them back for next year," he said. "We're training kids every morning from 7 to 9 and we're lifting twice a week to build that base and set the tone for next season already."
The NISCA honors didn't just come for Jackson's efforts in the water. Both the boys and girls teams were named Silver Award Scholar teams for their academic performance. The girls posted a team grade-point average of 3.566, while the boys' was 3.545.
"We're really proud of that. To have team GPAs like that speaks to the all-around qualities of our kids," Ziders said. "They work hard in the pool but they also work hard in the classroom and they're doing things the right way."
