Sophomore Stipe Zunic (Zadar, Croatia) claimed his fifth consecutive javelin crown of 2012, taking home his first Drake Relays title with a throw of 74.61m/244-9. Zunics victory was just one highlight of a strong opening day for the Gators at the 103rd Drake Relays.
Stipe truly gets better and better every week, Florida head coach Mike Holloway said. Love seeing his transformation from last year to this year and his connection with Coach (Steve) Lemke only gets stronger. Theyre really meshing well and working hard on getting better every day.
Zunics finish is a stark contrast from a year ago, where he finished 10th overall with a throw of 61.65m/202-3 as a young freshman.
"This feels great, Zunic said. Last year when I was here, the weather was also bad with the windy conditions. I went to the finals and only threw 61 meters. Finally, I have started to learn to throw in all wind conditions and it feels really good to be a winner here.
Another strong spot for the Gators on Friday were the relays. Florida mens 4x400-meter relay qualified for Saturdays finals with a first-place finish of 3:08.80 (3:08.797). The quartet of Dedric Dukes (Miami, Fla.), Tony McQuay (Riviera Beach, Fla.), Leonardo Seymore (Palm Beach Gardens, Fla.) and Hugh Graham, Jr. (Miami, Fla.) are part of a large Southeastern Conference contingent in Saturdays finals, as the Gators are one of three SEC teams (Arkansas, Ole Miss) gunning for a Drake Relays title.
The Florida womens 4x400-meter relay also came up big on Friday, as they won their heat and finished second overall with a time of 3:37.70. The Gator womens foursome of Ebony Eutsey (Miami, Fla.), Lanie Whittaker (Miami, Fla.), Alishea Usery (St. Louis, Mo.) and Michelle Stegall (Fayetteville, Ga.) won one of four heats on Friday to earn a spot in Saturdays finals.
Both of our 4x400 teams ran really well, Holloway commented. The weather wasnt ideal but they battled through and we talked to them about doing what you have to do to qualify for Saturdays finals and they did that.
Sophomore hurdler Eddie Lovett (West Palm Beach, Fla.) put himself in great contention for his first Drake Relays title with his first-place performance in the preliminaries of the 110-meter hurdles. Lovett set himself apart from the pack with his time of 13.98, the only sub-14 second finish of the day.
Sophomore Darshay Davis (Mirimar, Fla.) won her heat and qualified for Saturdays finals of the womens 100 meters with a time of 12.11 (-3.9). Davis finished fourth overall to earn her a spot in her second relays finals of the 2012 outdoor season (Texas Relays).
Across the board, we had a good day today, Florida head coach Mike Holloway said. The weather didnt cooperate today but show me an outdoor track meet that was perfect weather. I was pleased with Darshay, Eddie, truly everybody who put on a Gator uniform today came out and performed well.
Senior thrower Keely Medeiros (Blumenau-SC, Brazil) recorded a season-best mark of 52.57m/172-6 in the womens discus throw, finishing sixth with the fourth-furthest discus throw of her career. Medeiros also competed in the womens shot put, taking fourth with a toss of 16.71m/54-10.
Saturday proves to be another solid day for the Orange and Blue, as the Gators will compete in a dozen races tomorrow, including four finals from Fridays preliminary rounds.
One thing we need to work on is execution, Holloway said. Were hoping for better weather, but regardless of the weather, we cant waste opportunities. We need to come out and find a way to get better and compete hard against the best.

A great affordable eye cream I've been using lately is Neutrogena Ageless Intensives Deep Wrinkle Eye Cream. It contains Retinol (for exfoliation and fading of age spots) and Hyaluronic acid (for moisture and plumping). 95% of people see a reduction in fine lines around the eyes.
It's non-greasy and doesn't make my eye makeup smudge and really does seem to make my fine lines disappear. It use it before bed as well as in the morning over my moisturizer.
Find it at any drugstore for around $17.

AVWW shows off a huge update with new video footage, screenshots and dev journals. Additions and improvements this week include: A host of new weather effects, a half dozen new monsters, overhauled HUD, and our first female character, Dawn.
Posted by cupogoodness on Apr 14th, 2011
A Valley Without Wind: Weather, Characters and Monsters
Arcen Games is pleased to share a large update for its procedurally-generated survival adventure title A Valley Without Wind. Several additions and improvements have been made to the game, including weather, monsters, a new female character, and many other new visuals.
Six new monsters have been introduced, looking to pursue and destroy characters who stray too far in their respective regions. Meet the Espers, Desert Burrowers, Sniper Skelebots, and Bats -- they come in standard, fire and ice flavors. Yes, bats. Scoff at one sure, but beware: they always bring friends. With them, Dawn (AVWW's first female character sprite) joins the survivor fray alongside the original male character Darrell and the Neutral Skelebot. A variety of flowers, dozens of cars, and other new buildings/objects have also been added.
AVWW now carries several different kinds of weather as well, rainfall and snowfall in several regions can range from light to raging, blowing dust and sandstorms in the desert region, firestorms in the lava region and more. Major visual improvements to the HUD and main menu, plus new name dictionaries for characters also come packed in the latest update.
Check out A Valley Without Wind's latest pre-alpha trailer showing off the aforementioned items (in HD): Youtube.com
Arcen head Chris Park discusses all of the above, plus some new items on the technical side such as character animations and region level gating in this developer journal: Christophermpark.blogspot.com
Chris also touches on other new aspects including the revamped HUD, ground graphics, melee models, and more in the latest developer journal for the title: Christophermpark.blogspot.com
16 new screenshots can be found on the AVWW feature page (as well as in the images section on the AVWW IndieDB page): Arcengames.com
A Valley Without Wind is currently targeted for official release on PC and Mac in October 2011, with a playable Beta build available to customers who pre-order coming this summer.
About Arcen Games
Arcen Games entered the PC indie scene in 2009 with their cult classic AI War: Fleet Command, which was named the 40th best-reviewed PC game of the year by MetaCritic. Their second year was a busy one, seeing the release of The Zenith Remnant, the first full expansion for AI War; Tidalis, an innovative block-based puzzle with casual appeal and hardcore depth; and Children of Neinzul, a micro-expansion for AI War with all profits benefiting the Child's Play charity, of which Arcen is a platinum sponsor.
AI War's third and largest expansion Light of the Spire marked Arcen's first release of 2011, and now the company has shifted its focus and excitement to the development of A Valley Without Wind. Originally a one-man shop, Arcen Games has grown to have half a dozen part-time or fulltime contributors to its various titles.

There is nothing like happy hour. An hour, maybe an hour and a half, between the workday rigors and the calm of a nice evening at home; it almost feels as necessary as breakfast. To really be a great happy hour spot, in my opinion, a bar must fit a few criteria. First, it must have great cocktails (beer and wine, both of which I love, are neither historical nor ideal happy hour drinks). Read more »

Hello, everyone!
My issue is quality fabric and where I can find it. I shop at the usual places - JoAnns, Fabric.com, Mood.com, etc. I know that JoAnn's doesn't have the highest quality fabric but it's good enough in a pinch. But, it seems that all the fabric I buy ends up not being very good. It fades, shrinks, looks poorly (even though I have prewashed and dried the fabric) , stretches out, etc., and I'm wondering if I should be paying more for better fabric (because I buy a lot of stuff on clearance on Fabric.com). Should I be sticking to designer fabrics? Are there brands I should stay away from?
I know the better quality brands for quilting but I'm stumped as far as apparel sewing.
Where is the quality??? What should I be looking for?
Heheh, should I be buying a fabric book and study up on fabric so I know what to look for?
Check out the Fabric Sources thread in this forum. The "Limited Quantities" section lists places where you can get high-quality fabrics, and yes, you will pay more for them. Though many online stores have good sales from time to time.
Of course, you can find good quality at the stores where you already shop, it's just a lot more hit-or-miss.
Be warned that high-quality fabric is addicting .
Fabric Mart is a good source for quality fabrics at good prices. Their descriptions may seem sparse but they are correct and clear, especially if you are familiar with lots of fabrics. It's a catch 22, isn't it? One way to get a feel for quality fabrics is to snoop shop in better ready to wear stores. There you can see what types of garments various fabrics are used for, feel the fabric, and look at the fiber content on the tag.
People here have raved about Marcy Tilton and she has some great stuff for sale on her web site.
Marcy Tilton Sale Fabric
Some of hers are selling cheaper than matt jersey at JoAnn's. I'm on a tight budget so I'm really eyeing her site right now.
You don't necessarily have to pay more, you just need to shop at better stores. I keep getting sucked back in to Fabric.com, and every time I get three clunkers to one good fabric. I would also avoid Fashion Fabrics Club/Denver Fabrics, because it might be good or it might be crap, and you really can't tell from the description.
This is such a great thread! I've been wanting to buy lace fabric to make a fasionable lace top. The prices and quality vary so much!! I hope that more people continue to post to this thread!
MaryMary86 - THANK YOU for your post with Marcie Tilton's fabric site. I'm in heaven!! Beautiful and affordable. Wow.
Ah thank you Debra! It really is amazing isn't it? I'm thanking marec for linking to it. Mare's sewing is so beautiful and I realized she was linking to some really good stuff!
I think it helps to go to the stores and touch and feel and actually try on clothes of all the nicest fabrics, the more expensive the better. Then when you see it and feel it as just loose yardage or even lesser fabric, then you got something to compare it to.
As the actual price you pay can just vary, and the price is not always the best indicator even.
Some of my most expensive fabrics, that I actually do not buy, by the yard, like cashmere and ultra suede, and maybe even Liberty cotton prints, actually do come for me, even from the Goodwill and Salvation Army stores often. Just because really nice and good fabric stays good and lasts a long time, and if I see something there of that kind of fabric, (even in pre-made up clothes) that has a lot of actual yardage in huge pieces of it, and the color and price is right, I will just get it, bring it home and re-purpose it, and cut up and make something different of it even.
I believe you can shop at fabric.com and Fashion Fabrics Club -- as long as you always, and I repeat, always order swatches or samples first. Fashion Fabrics Club, in particular, has an extensive selection of excellent 100% wool fabrics at reasonable prices, but again you must always order samples beforehand.
------No sewing project is ever a complete success nor a total failure.

text: Fangoria reports that TLA Video has picked up distribution rights for the film everyone wants to see, but can't, 2LDK! Seriously, try finding this bad boy on the internet, close to impossible, unless of course you can understand Japanese. Yukihiko Tsutsumi's (Keizoku – The Movie) film was produced as a part of a cinematic duel between him and director Ryuhei Kitamura (Versus). Aside from the theme given to both films, which is "duel," it also shares some structural similarities with the rivaling director's film. Two actresses who share the same apartment audition for the same part. The resulting battle will determine not just who'll get the part, but who will be the last woman standing… Alive. The film is a fine example of cutting-edge cinema with plenty of wicked black humour and violence. Watch for this sometime in 2004.

Ahh, admitting what went wrong with your game is risky business. Kudos to you for doing it anyway, i'll definitely be watching Eternal Silence more closely now :)
Fight a massive deep space war and participate in the destruction of capital ships in this innovative blend of FPS and space combat. Bomb important systems, escort a squad of marines to cause damage from the inside. Watch as railguns fire projectiles the size of buses at the enemy hull. Fight with many futuristic weapons including a flamethrower and remote controlled SMG.
Sadly, Eternal Silence isn't the perfect game, here's why.
Posted by stenchy on Aug 22nd, 2009
Sadly, Eternal Silence isn't the perfect game, here's why:
All through the development of Eternal Silence, the game was treated as a prototype. We added and removed features as we went, and as a result our three major releases all play completely differently. Part of this was a result of the highly ambitious nature of the mod (it was impossible to implement all of it at once). Part of it was because we were in uncharted territory and didn't really know how to strike that balance we wanted. Mostly, we lacked discipline.
The first two releases were so far off the beaten path design that they left a bad impression. We weren't delivering what we claimed in our design. The third release brought things together, but it was very late in the game. Even our Steam release felt different, and this divided some our community. We'd like to think these changes are for the better, but the mod never reached its full potential because we never added that layer of polish and really said "all the features are done". There was always more to add, and the attention went there. With our limited resources, it was impossible to do both things at once and the quality of the mod suffered.
The result is the mod is still plagued with very amateur bugs and still has a kind of development build feel to it. We were never able to iron out all the kinks, because we were too busy adding new things. The mistakes we made early on added up slowly and made the design too hard to turn around in the end. Some of our features, space combat for instance, were closed so as not to screw up the balance, but a lot of things were left open and never given a final pass.
The infantry combat is a core component of the game; unfortunately it came out lacking in the final product. The infantry was the first pass of Eternal Silence and was completed very early on. The code governing the weapons and classes was written in the first six months of development and hardly changed after that. The infantry combat in the mod has always felt a little off, but we always felt resources were better spent elsewhere. This was unfortunate, because a strong infantry component would have benefited the mod a lot more than some of the features we worked on instead.
The big failure here was a fear to change the old code and a fear of breaking things. We didn't have the resources to hunt down every bug, and so keeping the mod as stable as possible was a huge priority. This meant never changing a piece of code unless you absolutely had to. This turned out to be the biggest cop-out for doing infantry work, and we probably should have simply thrown out everything we had half way through development and started it all over. Unfortunately, the infantry gameplay we created early on stuck till the end and was never tweaked as much as our space combat was. In the last months, we tried to quickly clean things up and create more depth. This helped a lot, but we ran out of time to really get the changes we wanted in.
The last of our changes involved differentiating the classes more. This meant heavy marines received more armor and moved much slower than the rest of the classes. Likewise the hacker was agile and lightly armoured. This helped bring some cohesion to the infantry gameplay, but also hurt the combat a little bit, as outcomes were much more predictable between the different classes. Had we given the infantry more attention, we surely could have struck a more interesting balance.
Possibly the single greatest failure of the mod is its steep learning curve. This has held it back from achieving wide-spread popularity and has forced many players to shy away from the mod after trying it once or twice.
The mod is complex, this is a fact. This is a game with above-average complexity and which demands practice. This is especially true in space. We spent so much time testing with experienced players that we quickly forgot this. The mod was tweaked for hardcore players who knew what they were doing. It is very unforgiving to new players.
In retrospect, we didn't do everything we could to make the learning curve lighter. A set of instructional videos on how to fly the ship would have done the job, or a tutorial map. We left this up to the community, and these features are still not in the game. Had we also tested with more new players and gotten fresh opinions, we could have tweaked the mod to be easier at first. Many players tell us that once they "get it" the mod is addictive and satisfying. However, "getting it" can take 4 to 6 hours of frustrating gameplay where you get shot down almost instantly in space or you lose because of strategies you don't know exist. There is more we could have done.
Part of the focus of our original design was to present players with a truly complete experience where they could play space or infantry all the time. We pushed for this in our early releases, but in the end we opted for a much more rigid, round-based structure where players must first fight in space, then land on one ship in particular. This made the gameplay much more cohesive, but also forced players down a particular path and ruined our goals of keeping gameplay options as open as possible. The final game still contains a lot of depth, but some of it is lost on a gameplay structure we kept tightening. It was very difficult to decide when certain strategies were valid or if they were exploits. Presenting players with such a well defined set of rules in how they should attack the enemy ship meant lots of the battles played out the same way. The cinematic gameplay and team play goals took precedence over the open world feel, and it would have been nice to keep both.
Our early releases suffered from a huge lack of content. We simply didn't have the resources, as a mod team, to pump out assets at the quality level we wanted. Our first map, es_aethra, was remade three or four times throughout development and received the most testing. The other maps were neglected as a result, and we had a huge lack of mappers during much of the production. This meant that our third major release came out with only two maps. These were fully polished and excellent maps to play, but that amount of content will not keep people around for long. We had to learn this the hard way. Our latest release contains 10 maps and 4 different game modes, and this certainly helped, but we still haven't put out as much content as we were hoping, as most of those maps are recycled for different game modes.
The make up of the team was partially responsible for this. As a mod it's very difficult to hold on to people, and like it or not a core of maybe 5 or 6 has made the mod what it is today. People came and went throughout development, and as a result, many of our projects had to be cut.
There is still a lot to say about Eternal Silence, it is difficult to summarize 5 years of development in just a simple article. Eternal Silence was a great experience for the entire development team. The lessons learned were invaluable and many of the concepts can be applied to future projects. My takeaway from Eternal Silence is never to underestimate the meanings of things inside my games. Every step of the development and every feature supply a meaning to the experience for the player. When these signals get crossed or you get too caught up in prototyping, things come out feeling wrong. A lot of this has to do with attitude during development. This means testing, yes, but also being disciplined and making decisions from the player's point of view.

Risky business? No game is perfect. If we had more time and resources, this is what we would have fixed.
I meant that most game developers never admit to their mistakes, because it can have a seriously negative effect sometimes.
I agree, however knowing that the developers feel the same way I do about the infantry combat is definitely comforting.
i don't mind the ifantry combat. And I thought Space combat was pretty straight forward.
but then again I'm a hardcore gamer.
The problem with this, and don't get me wrong I love the summer of mods and indies and I love Eternal Silence, is that this article makes me feel like the mod is dead or dying! I really hope that this is not the case at all, and I'm certain it isn't, but if I had never heard of ES and I read this, I might be less likely to try it if i felt the mod was dead or dying. I think that stating your flaws was a gutsy move, but you really could have said "We're now working hard to fix this" instead of "We should have done this" because the latter makes it sound like you never will fix it.
PS. Wow, just noticed this article is called Post-mortem, is ES dead then?
A postmortem is an article format where you talk about what went right and what went wrong during a project. It's meant to provide insight to other developers on how we dealt with certain issues and where we think we should improve. Eternal Silence is still being worked on, though with a very limited team. There is a new patch in the works, so quit worrying about the status of the mod.
YAY! Thank you for the explanation. I guess I should look things up in a dictionary before I post...
Article format: Gdmag.com
Contrary to what gdmag.com or anyone trying to co-op and re-define words for biz-speak speak /wants/ the word to mean, postmortem will always have negative connotations relating to death because of its' etymology (and moreover, definition). Most, if not all postmortems on moddb.com rightly refer to dead mods and if you don't want people to think that Eternal Silence is dead (like I and others), you should come up with another name for your post.
This is a pointless argument. Believe what you want. Major work on the mod is finished.
post mortem = after death
It's not a pointless argument, I thought I was reading about a dead mod...
I thought it was quite simple. But there was only 2 other people playing.
The mod may not be perfect, but I still had a great time playing it.
Yeh, I Must say, if there was one thing, at least for me that put me off, it would be the infantry combat, space combat was incredible, but the infantry really seemed to lack quality. It was as if going from space to infantry was where quality dropped down a notch.
But With the neat way of space combat, If ES ever runs out of fun, maybe reuse the idea and code and make a new game thats more into space combat, but also allows trade?
It would be awesome if they took pieces from this game and turn it into a brand new, complete game.
Maybe following Huxley's example, and creating a Open world, but battle takes place of zones? This means that it would be neat if zones support up to 64 or 128 players, and the game provides features similar to EVE online...
An Idea is focusing it completely on space combat but allow side features like trading or side jobs (mercenaries etc?) to expand the game itself, and offer multiple ways to customize your ship.
But if i think about it, it would end up too much like EVE online then...
that's not really feasible without changing source engine DRASTICALLY
After the novelty of landing the ship in the enemy ship, it just switched into Counter-Strike-in-space. Where's the cool lasers n' stuff? So many bullets :(
To the developpers
Heh, I always felt that ES's learning curve was low. Its quite arcadey. In fact, I've always wanted to see an Empires-like mode - well, actually the end result would be Homeworld 2 meets First Person but w/e...
Maybe [url=http://www.empiresmod.com/]their team[url] could give you assistance in doing that in exchange for due credit.
Also, [url=http://age-of-chivalry.com/]Team Chivalry[/url] has recently taken a very complicated objective based game and made it fool-proof (though not 'toal n00b' proof) with a redone interface and a few simple tweaks like HUD indicators for objectives (optional of course). Team Chivalry also likes to blog alot.
I am not familiar with other mod teams or communities. I can't speak for how proprietary or Dev-god complex ridden either team is, and both Empires and Age of Chivalry have their balance detractors. Mostly Empires. Maybe Source modders should have a Balanace symposium. :P
Anyway, E.S. completes my trio of habitual source games, so gratz on that...
(Probably why I want to see both Empires of Chivalry and Empires in Space, but seriously. 1st class melee combat meets an FPS/RTS combo, and then FREAKIN' HOMEWORLD 2 WHERE YOU CAN PLAY AS THE GRUNTS!?!?)
how the hell does admiting mistakes have a negative affect? Only a dumbshit would place a negative effect on a Dev team that has admited mistakes
I will be watching the development closely...This just became one of my favorite mods. :)

Saturday was International Flag Day.
A holiday that holds special meaning for those who serve the country.
When a flag is no longer useful, tattered or old it has to be disposed of properly, which is done by burning.
That's what American Legion members did Saturday.
And they say it's an important symbol to these war heroes.
The legion collects flags throughut the year for this event.
They soak the flags in kerosene and say a prayer before burning them.
If you missed out, the legion accepts flags year round.
They're also putting on the fireworks show at City Park on July 4th.

Re: TNG: The Persistence of Memory by David Mack Review Thread (Spoile
Very glad to see an excerpt. I'm sure it's no surprise to hear that I'm looking forward to this.
A Mack novel is always a good bet; three Mack novels is spoiling us. And novels set at the cutting edge of the timeline, too!
I note that Galor IV has wised up regarding the
Planets must live in fear of Star Trek's heroes, keeping their heads down, trying desperately not to attract attention and so become the site of an adventure, or Events of Interest. It's like if
cruises into your space - you might as well implode there and then, get it over with.
In seriousness, I like the continuity references to
Immortal Coil.
We are all the sum of our tears. Too little and the ground is not fertile, and nothing can grow there. Too much, and the best of us is washed away.

Pixar Merger with Disney Has Hurt Quality

Re: Pixar Merger with Disney Has Hurt Quality
Well.. Cars burned me real bad when it comes to Pixar.. up until this point i adored their movies. They were unique, had their own style and their own story to tell.
They had a heart.
With Cars Pixar made a run of the mill, paint by number movie any studio could have produced.. like the ones from Dreamworks or any other animation studio that relies on big names to voice the characters and promote the movies.
Up until that point it was enough for me to know it was a Pixar movie to go see it and know i'd get a good movie with a good story.
Well.. if Disney took the reins over that heavily i'll mourn Pixar for a while and hope that some day a bunch of insanely creative, crazy people who just want to tell some stories find someone who'll back them up and open door for them so they can produce stories without pressuring them or telling them how to do it.
It'll happen.. might take a while but a new Pixar will come.

These days, at age 62, I have definitely reached "senior citizen" status.
I could be all depressed about this, I suppose, given the significant down sides of aging, like the fact that I live with a constant, gnawing fear that some day, America will run out of prunes.
But getting up in years can be a handy thing, too, based on the fact that when we old folks screw up, people blame it on our age, not on us. ...

2010 Horatio Alger Award Winner
"Today a college degree is a necessity for upward mobility."
Jenard Gross was born in 1929 in Nashville, Tennessee. His father owned a small grocery store there, but when the Depression came three weeks after Jenard's birth, his father was forced to close the store. Shortly thereafter, the family moved to Kansas City, Missouri. Jenard's father spent the next four years working as a truck driver. In 1934, the Gross family moved back to Tennessee, where Jenard's father opened a new store in a small town called Dupontonia, which was named in honor of the DuPont rayon plant nearby.
For several years, the Gross family lived in a rented triplex. "We were fortunate during the Depression," says Jenard Gross, "because running a grocery store always meant we had food. But money was still tight. In 1938, when I was nine years old, my father was doing well enough that he bought a house for us. His payment on a $4,000 house was $19 a month, and that wasn't always easy to make. But in those days, everyone trusted each other. Men would come by and knock on the door to see if my mother had any chores they could do for a meal. She would always fix them soup or eggs. We never locked our doors and we left the keys in the car. It was completely different than it is today."
Jenard Gross started working at an early age. He cut grass and sold magazine subscriptions to Liberty, Saturday Evening Post, and Ladies Home Journal. During World War II, he planted a Victory Garden. The family raised chickens and Jenard sold eggs to neighbors. When he was 13, Jenard began selling women's shoes on Saturdays. He earned an average of $5 a day, but was able to triple that amount during the holidays. He saved enough money to buy a suit for his Bar Mitzvah, which cost $35.
World War II started when Jenard was in the eighth grade. His father closed the grocery store and took a night course at the local high school to learn sheet metal work. Throughout the war he helped to build dive bombers at the Vultee Aircraft Corporation. Later he worked in a filling station, and eventually he went back to running a small grocery store.
Jenard Gross was an honor student and the sports editor of his school newspaper. He graduated near the top of his class and enrolled at Vanderbilt University. "No one in my family had ever been to college," he says. "When I was in the tenth grade I had to make a decision about working half time and going to school half time. Many boys in my town did that. But I knew if I did I wouldn't have enough credits to go to college. I felt I would be better off with a college education, so I decided then to pursue that as a goal."
While in college, Jenard continued to live at home and worked on weekends and throughout each summer to pay for his expenses. To save money, he increased his class load, graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in psychology, and as a member of Phi Beta Kappa. He also managed save $1,200 during his college years.
Upon graduation in 1950, Jenard Gross went to work for a local furniture company. The following year he moved to Kansas City for a sales job in medical equipment. He was drafted into the Army in 1953 and was stationed in New Jersey. During this time, he played the stock market and accumulated more than $20,000 by the time he was honorably discharged from service.
Interested in real estate investment, Mr. Gross bought two lots that were slated for small apartment buildings. When he discovered he could not afford the estimates he was given to build an eight-unit building, he decided to build it himself. He paid an architect $400 to come by each day and supervise his work. After developing his two lots successfully, he was in business as a developer. In fact, he became one of Houston's most well-known apartment developers and has over the years built nearly 24,000 apartment units and rehabbed another 4,500 units.
"I was lucky," says Jenard Gross. "Real estate development is something I just stumbled into and thoroughly loved. There is something wonderful about seeing a piece of dirt and getting out there and visualizing something rising out of the ground. When you see the lights come on and people living in your buildings, there is great professional satisfaction. I believe that if you love what you are doing, you will be successful. I never felt like I was getting up in the morning to go to work. I think that if I talked with someone who is in a job he can barely tolerate, my advice would be to do something else—even if he is making a lot of money at it. Find the thing you can't live without, and then stay with it."
When asked how he defines success, Mr. Gross says, "First, I think it's having a good family life—and the highpoint of my life was when I married Dr. Gail Gross. We have been blessed with our son Shawn and his wife Kate and our delightful grandchildren. After that, I think success can be defined as having a good economic life, a good social life, and reaching back and helping others to have the opportunities which I was given. For me, that's what life is all about—giving others a chance to do what you have done, and most importantly getting a good education."
Mr. Gross believes there are as many or more opportunities available in America today as ever before. He says, "The greatest days for America are still ahead of us. When I was a kid in the Depression, they used to say that America would never have as many opportunities as we'd had before the Depression. But those who believed that were wrong. I believe that providing opportunities for the next generation is one of the greatest things we can do for our country. But we must have a well-educated society to stay on top. That's why this Horatio Alger Award means so much to me. This is a group of like-minded people who focus on education and supporting those who have ability but need help. The scholarships give them the opportunity to succeed, and then we all benefit from what these young people will choose to do with that education. It's exciting and motivating."
Jenard Gross Activities and Honors
Mr. Gross has been active in real estate for over 50 years as president of Gross Builders and a number of related entities. He was also chairman and chief executive officer of United Savings Association of Texas, the largest savings and loan in the state. He was chairman of Gulf Coast Savings Association. He served on the board of Weingarten Realty Investment Trust, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange. He also served on the board of Delta Lloyds Insurance Company and on the Houston Branch of the Federal Reserve Board for six years.
He has served as president and chairman of the Houston Grand Opera and as a director of the Houston Symphony and the Salvation Army. He was treasurer for the San Jacinto Girl Scouts Council. He was president of the U.S. Friends of English National Opera, and president of Westwood Country Club. He serves as trustee of the Pauline Stearne Wolff Foundation. He served on the executive committee of the Greater Houston Partnership and chaired the Economic Development Council and the Education Policy Committee. He served on the board of the Houston Annenberg Challenge. He was a member of the Young Presidents' Organization and World Business Council. He also served as president of the Houston Apartment Association as well as the National Apartment Association. He chaired the University of Texas Health Science Center Development Board and served on the board of MD Anderson Hospital. He chaired the board of the Preventive Medicine Research Institute. He also served on the board of regents of the Texas Southern University, the largest historically African-American university in the United States, and as chair of the Texas Southern University Foundation. He co-founded the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni Association of Greater Houston and founded its scholarship program, which is currently the largest in the nation.
In 2001, Jenard Gross was honored by the Houston Independent School District with the naming of a local elementary school in recognition of his commitment to preservation and improvement of urban school systems and his contribution to education.

HP lays claim to supercomputer dominance
updated 04:40 pm EDT, Wed June 27, 2007
HP supercomputer dominance
HP is touting its role in a newly-published list of the 500 most powerful supercomputers in the world. According to TOP500, over 40 percent of the list is dominated by HP systems, specifically the Cluster Platform 3000BL and 4000BL, based on BladeSystem c-Class servers. The figure represents a 10 growth for HP since November of 2006.
The company is not, however, the creator of the fastest supercomputer. That mantle belongs to IBM, who produced the Blue Gene/L installed at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (pictured). Using the Linpack benchmark, the computer was rated at 280.6 teraflops per second. IBM is already attempting to break the petaflop barrier with the Blue Gene /P, which will be deployed elsewhere by the end of 2007.

Department of Ecology authority is upheld for shoreline rules
August 30, 2011
By Warren Kagarise
In a recent ruling, the state Supreme Court unanimously affirmed the state's authority to sign off on shoreline management plans and regulations.
The decision came just before the state Department of Ecology approved the Sammamish shoreline regulations, or shoreline master program. Meanwhile, Issaquah is updating a 20-year-old shoreline master program.
The efforts establish shoreline rules in Issaquah and Sammamish aimed to determine appropriate creek and lakeside areas for construction, plus offer more clarity to landowners along creeks and Lake Sammamish.
Washington voters approved the Shoreline Management Act in 1972 to help minimize environmental damage to shoreline areas, reserve areas for water-oriented uses, and protect public lands and waters. The act grants local governments flexibility to tailor shoreline programs to respond to local conditions and needs.
"While local jurisdictions play a role in tailoring SMPs to local conditions, the Shoreline Management Act dictates that the Department of Ecology retains control over the final contents and approval of SMPs," Associate Chief Justice Charles Watson wrote in the unanimous Supreme Court decision.
Under the 1972 law, local governments and the Department of Ecology cooperate on shoreline master programs.
Citizens for Rational Shoreline Planning, Ronald Jepson and the Building Industry Association of Whatcom County brought the case against the Department of Ecology and Whatcom County.
The lawsuit attempted to invalidate key protections in Whatcom County's state-approved shoreline master program. The state approved the shoreline rules in 2008.
The plaintiffs said because Whatcom County developed a proposed shoreline master program at the local level, approving the updated rules should be a local decision. The petitioners also said the rules violated state tax law.
"The court's decision clarifies that the collaborative process Ecology and local governments use to manage our shoreline areas is fair, transparent and flexible," agency Deputy Director Polly Zehm said in a statement. "We all have a stake in protecting our treasured shoreline resources for ourselves as well as our children and future generations. Our shorelines make Washington a great place to live."
The court reaffirmed the Department of Ecology's final approval for shoreline master programs.
The agency must also ensure a list of requirements negotiated in 2003 among 58 different parties — including businesses, environmentalists, local governments, ports and shoreline user groups — is being met.
Moreover, after the Department of Ecology approves a local shoreline master program, the agency commits to helping to defend the rules against legal challenges.
One Response to "Department of Ecology authority is upheld for shoreline rules"

Was Court Ruling Less than Supreme?
I read with interest the Press' August 30th article titled "Department of Ecology Authority is Upheld for Shoreline Rules". As a Lake Sammamish resident of 20 years and a retired civil engineer, I've carried my interest in our lake's health to involvement in shoreline planning for both Redmond and Bellevue. If there's accuracy in your article's review of a recent State Supreme Court ruling, that the Department of Ecology dictates shoreline programs, this is unfortunate.
The first disappointment is that local jurisdictions have spent millions of taxpayer dollars to research and tailor their programs to local conditions. Tax payers will find this waste unacceptable if Ecology, from the start, was to impose its own agenda.
Second, of greater concern is the illusion being created that strict regulation of lakeside residential property will resolve lake environmental issues. Undeterred dumping of untreated storm water (and, often, raw sewage) to our lakes will, for the foreseeable future, overwhelm any shoreline resident actions. It is easier to be "eco-fashionable" and finger the taxpayer than to acknowledge this reality and take effective action.
Issaquah and other lakeside residents need to be aware that the "clarity of regulations and list of requirements" referenced in the Press' article may take significant amounts of their shoreline property. Lake Sammamish water levels have been allowed to rise in recent years due to "eco-fashionable" native plantings allowed to block the outflow channel at Marymoor Park in Redmond. These artificially-shifted, higher water levels establish the line from which shoreline regulations will be measured.
If the State Supreme Court ruling removed local control of these issues, we will have cities flooding the lake with basin-wide, polluted runoff; while King County struggles for permission to remove outflow blockages; and the State, via Ecology, dictating that property owners solve the resulting problems by giving up their property. Perhaps it's time for a higher level court to rule on the issues of property rights and use of Lake Sammamish as a detention pond.

After months of rumors, it's official: Men's Fashion Week is coming to New York on July 13. Yep, it's time to show off our manly style the American way.
Why the hop across the pond? Steven Kolb, head honcho of the CFDA and the fashion week calendar, explained that the success of London's menswear collections inspired New York, adding that "American menswear has never been stronger or more creative."
So, what can we expect? Oh, just a few of the industry's brightest (think: Michael Kors, rag & bone, and Calvin Klein Collection). And maybe even a gorgeous male model or two.

Get Sport24 on your mobile
London - Pakistan cricketers Mohammad Aamer, Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt, together with their agent, have been charged with corruption offences, England's prosecution service said on Friday.The charges relate to alleged incidents during a Test match against England last year when Britain's News of the World tabloid claimed the players were willing to deliberately bowl no-balls.The newspaper alleged the players had colluded in a spot-fixing betting scam organised by their agent, Mazhar Majeed."We have decided that Mohammad Aamer, Mohammad Asif, Salman Butt and their agent, Mazhar Majeed, should be charged with conspiracy to obtain and accept corrupt payments and also conspiracy to cheat," Simon Clements of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said in a statement."These charges relate to allegations that Mr Majeed accepted money from a third party to arrange for the players to bowl 'no balls' on 26 and 27 August 2010, during Pakistan's Fourth Test at Lord's Cricket Ground in London."Clements, head of the CPS Special Crime Division, added: "We are satisfied there is sufficient evidence for a realistic prospect of conviction and it is in the public interest to prosecute."The statement said the three Pakistan players had been asked to appear in court in London on March 17. They have been told to return "voluntarily" to Britain for the hearing or prosecutors will seek their extradition.British-based Majeed must also appear on the same date at the same court, City of Westminster Magistrates.Britain's Metropolitan Police Service said in a statement it had "been informed of the CPS' decision".The Pakistan trio are currently provisionally suspended from international cricket but a separate International Cricket Council (ICC) tribunal, chaired by English lawyer Michael Beloff, is due to announce its conclusions in Doha on Saturday following its own probe.The world governing body's code of conduct carries a maximum lifetime ban if corruption charges are proved.A News of the World spokesperson welcomed the move by English prosecutors, saying: "Every true cricket fan will want to see justice served."We will continue to assist the police with their inquiries and look forward to presenting our extensive dossier of evidence in open court."At the time of the alleged offfences, Butt, 26, was captain of Pakistan's Test side with Asif, 28, the team's senior pace bowler while teenage left-arm swing bowler Aamer, 18, was regarded as one of the hottest properties in world cricket.The announcement the trio will face criminal charges comes at a sensitive time for the sport with the World Cup due to start in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in a fortnight.

There are few things more beautiful and endearing than music. Music is what drives the senses wild. It is sensuous, vibrant, and it makes you feel alive. Learning a music instrument is one of the most significant endeavors that you can undertake. With dozens of options available, you can easily find an instrument that suits your personality and tastes. In addition to that, learning an instrument not only gives you musical talent, but it also has a number of advantages. These advantages are some of the main reasons why everyone should consider learning a musical instrument.
Learning a Music Instrument Enhances Your Memory
It's a familiar issue for nearly everyone. Forgetting important information is one of the most problematic trials that many people face. One solution to boost your memory is to play a music instrument. Studies have shown that those that play musical instruments have a more alert and active mind, which then works to effectively sharpen memory. In addition, because learning a music instrument requires memorization of musical elements, you immediately need to learn how to store information better and recall that information on demand. So if you are looking to stave off the effect of age, pick up an instrument and learn to play. (more…)

Channel Branding & End-Credit-Squeeze
|CasparCG Server used in automated promotion system for six simultaneous national TV channels in HD. CasparCG Server is used to overlay channel logos and dynamic data such as line-ups, promos and animations on top of programming. Since 2012 it is also used for live end-credit squeezes.
|SVT: Swedish Broadcasting Corporation in Stockholm, Sweden.
|Parts of CasparCG used:
|Flash Producer playing both SWF and FLV's with alpha, FFmpeg Producer playing QuickTime videos with alpha and audio, DeckLink Producer for HD-input for end-credit squeeze, DeckLink Consumer for all HD-SDI output.
|Hardware used:
|HP Z210, BlackMagic Design's DeckLink HD Extreme 3D
|Around the clock since the summer of 2008.
Launched in 2008, SVT's rebuilt automation system replaced an older system using traditional video servers and graphics systems. Planning was done in a custom-built software, but the data had to be manually entered into another software before being output to screen, and every action (such as showing a "Next: CSI" sign) was done manually by clicking in a Windows interface.
When play-out of all shows went to digital-from-disk, the system was rebuild around an updated in-house built planning software coupled with an automation system from Pebble Beach and video/audio servers from Omneon. To be able to show dynamic data such as line-ups and next signs, the choice was made to replace the traditional broadcast vendors' graphics systems with CasparCG.
The illustration shows quite a complex setup for each channel, including both a mixer and a down-stream keyer. This was in part due to the fact that SVT wanted to be able to capture parts of the video streams for web publication, before the dynamic data was added to the video stream.
A CasparCG Server for each channel is controlled and fed data via the Chyron's Intelligent Interface, CII, but there's also a data path where XML files are generated from the planning system directly.
In 2011 all channels started to broadcast in HD 720p50 (SD programs are upscaled before broadcast) and all channel graphics are therefore rendered in HD as well.
In 2012, the hardware was updated to HPZ210 servers with dual DeckLink HD Extreme 3D video cards and input video was fed into the CasparCG Servers so that the end-credit squeeze with real-time scaling of the live video could take place while at the same time displaying dynamic data and images/video controlled via an Adobe AIR interface (later to be replaced by automation.)
