Rabbit-Proof Fence
- Directed by Phillip Noyce
===Story=== Based on a true story, ''Rabbit-Proof Fence'' moves with dignified grace from its joyful opening scenes to a conclusion that's moving beyond words. The title refers to a 1,500-mile fence separating outback desert from the farmlands of Western Australia. It is here, in 1931, that three aboriginal girls are separated from their mothers and transported to a distant training school, where they are prepared for assimilation into white society by a racist government policy. Gracie, Daisy, and Molly belong to Australia's "stolen generations," and this riveting film (based on the book by Molly's daughter, Doris Pilkington Garimara) follows their escape and tenacious journey homeward, while a stubborn policy enforcer (Kenneth Branagh) demands their recapture. Director Phillip Noyce chronicles their ordeal with gentle compassion, guiding his untrained, aboriginal child actors with a keen eye for meaningful expressions. Their performances evoke powerful emotions (subtly enhanced by Peter Gabriel's excellent score), illuminating a shameful chapter of Australian history while conveying our universal need for a true and proper home.

Before I dive into my main arguments, I do believe feature branches make sense for open source development. Generally, developers will work on branches dedicated to given features. This way, when they are done, they can present the branches to the community, get feedback, and make changes. Often times, they will not even have commit rights, so a committer will have to take the branch and merge it in. This is much harder if the work was a collection of commits and not a cohesive feature branch. It is also common in open source for features to get rejected, so it's helpful if these commits don't clutter up the git history. Open source projects also tend to have more sporadic development as opposed to lots of developers all working in the code full time.
The problem is that most work done at companies do not have the same flow. For example, at Braintree Payments, we have about six developer pairs all working on different stories, all committing at the same time, and all with commit rights to our project. We trust that if a pair wrote the code, it's good and is going into the project. In 99% of cases, if we are working on a feature, it is going to get released.
Given this kind of working environment, here is why I do not like feature branches:
Feature branches make for nasty commit history
Feature branching as a practice encourages lots of small commits, often before tests are passing or the code is in a useable state. Since these commits are on a branch, most people think it's ok as long as the final merge commit back into master passes all of the tests.
The problem with this practice is that the commit history of the project is now full of broken work and non-passing code. I often use git history to get an idea of why a feature was done, or what other code was changed at the same time. I will "git blame" a method name to see when it was added, and what the code looked like at that point. With feature branches, I can no longer trust that commit. It may have been done on a branch, it may have broken half of the tests, and it may have been completely scrapped before the code went into master.
Furthermore, If feature branches are deleted once they are merged into master, where do bug fixes go? On a new feature branch or on master? There will no longer be an easy way to find a list of the commits that went into a feature. If feature branches are not deleted right away, the repository will likely end up with a huge number of branches.
Feature branches generally have no builds
We use Jenkins to continually test our application. We run numerous builds on every commit, including integration builds that call out to external dependencies.
When we do work on feature branches, we no longer have these builds. Developers will run the main suite of tests before they check in, but no one is going to run the full suite of integration tests on every commit. Furthermore, setting up new builds can be annoying, so we're unlikely to do it unless we are going to maintain a branch for a long time.
Lots of branches become cumbersome
The lack of builds is one aspect of where lots of branches become cumbersome. Another is user testing. It is common to want the product owner or someone else to take a look at the feature before it's done to get feedback. If you have a testing environment, they might want to deploy your code there to take a look (rather than looking over your shoulder on the workstation). But if you have feature branches, then they have to deploy your branch, which means they can no longer test other features at the same time. If they are in the middle of testing another feature that requires specific data, they may not be able to deploy your branch (e.g., if it has different database migrations that would require the database to be rebuilt).
Feature branches make refactoring harder
Modern version control tools like git make branching and merging much easier, but they are far from perfect. If we do large refactorings (especially refactorings that take numerous commits), it can become really hard to merge in feature branches. For example, if we rename methods, shift code between classes, or even reorder the methods in a class, the feature branch will likely get tons of conflicts on the merge. Then, someone has to go through each conflict and figure out where the code went. The longer the feature branch lives, the worse the merge becomes.
To take a specific example, say we want to switch our tests from one factory pattern to another. With feature branching, we would create a branch, and spend a few days porting over our tests. Then, when we merge back, we are going to run into conflicts with any tests that were changed by other feature branches. Even worse, while we are porting tests, other developers are still writing tests on their feature branches in the old style.
If we decide to make the test changes on master, but still have feature branches, all of the currently running feature branches have to continually merge from master in order to get the new tests. If they forget, and start modifying tests that have not been ported yet, they are still going to get conflicts when they merge back.
In contrast, if everyone is working in master, the people doing the refactoring can pull, make the changes, and commit frequently. As long as other developers also pull frequently (since everyone is making small, frequent commits), they automatically get the changes.
My preferences
Given that I don't like feature branches, here is what I prefer:
All developers work in the master branch. When we are ready to release code to production, we merge master into a release branch, which gets some extra regression testing. We then tag from release and deploy the tag.
We use descriptive commit messages to signify what feature we are working on. For example, we use messages like "#card – message." If we need to see all of the commits for a given feature, we can grep the git history for the card number. Likewise, if "git blame" a line of code, you can get back to the original story card and see why the feature was developed.
Commits only get pushed if they pass all of the tests. If a developer wants to make temp commits, that's fine as long as they get squashed into a decent commit before pushing. Spike branches are fine for playing around, but the real work should be done on master once the approach is finalized.
On my last few projects, we have used a tool called rake_commit to do much of this work for us. It will prompt for a pair, story, and commit message, squash unpushed changes, run "git pull –rebase" (if working in git), run tests, and then push if the tests pass. This tool ensures a clean, linear git history.
For long running features, I prefer Branch by Abstraction and feature switches. This way, the features can be developed in master along side other development with the full suite of builds, but not necessarily impact the end user until the work is complete. If we have to release early for some reason (feature X just has to go out today), then we can release without the new features in use.

git rebase –interactive ???
While I agree feature branches have some drawbacks, many of your points that bring you to this conclusion are not right IMO.
> Feature branches make for nasty commit history
The exact opposite is true. With feature branches the commits are laid out in order and can be read like a story. Conversely, if all your developers are commiting to master a bit at a time it's a real mess to figure out the progression of a story.
Regarding broken/bad commits ending up in feature branches…show your developers commit –amend and rebase –interactive to tidy up history.
> Lots of branches become cumbersome
Git makes it very easy to switch branches. If a developer is in the middle of work and wants to test out a coworkers feature branch then have him stash his code and switch.
> Feature branches make refactoring harder
When I had a feature branch a live during a big refactor on master I ended up doing an interactive rebase against master and solved the conflicts one commit at a time. It was tedious yes. Gits file rename detection helps greatly here too. To avoid this try not to let your feature branches rot for months before integrating them back into master.

Everyone works in master? What happens when I push bad code? Everyone has to deal with it. Reverts are ugly, too. No CI on branches? You have implemented CI. And still — merging that branch makes it trivial to unmerge an entire set of commits. Using rebase when merging feature branches is also very problematic.
You use rebase on a shared branch? That's craziness.
You don't like frequent commits? Teach your devs to use rebase -i. Frequent commits come from devs that know how to cover their asses from their own mistakes. Frequent commits save peoples time. Rebase -i is much easier than losing code.
You have great google juice and I think very dangerous advice for newbies looking for it.

This whole DVCS workflow turns to orthodoxy. Follow the guru, never think by yourself !
I'm really happy that there are people expressing their opinion and sharing their views on this topic.
git merge –squash <feature_branch"
git commit -am 'Description of your changes'
This will clean up all those small commits into one big commit. Our git history on master is very clean.
As for integration builds, you can have jenkins test your feature branches just like your master branch.
"Feature branches generally have no builds"
Is in itself wins this debate. Lack of functional test feedback loop until too late is an un-deniable issue.
Brilliant post! I'm also an advocate of tree-like structure for version history and master being used as a main development place. Branch-by-abstraction principle perfectly fits this idea.

> Is in itself wins this debate. Lack of functional test feedback loop until too late is an un-deniable issue.
Jenkins can create feature branch builds automatically with a single plugin.

This article profiles the finest defenders in the French Ligue 1.
The league is only two games old, but already familiar fault lines have been drawn. Traditional heavyweights Lyon, Marseille and Saint-Etienne find themselves in the top spots, along with moneyed Monaco, while unfancied Guingamp are rooted to the table's foot.
Perhaps the sole surprise is Paris Saint-Germain's sluggish opening. The capital giants have only managed two draws in their first games and are already four points off the pace.
In recent history, the league has developed a fine reputation for producing excellent defenders—men who have typically learned their trade in the French leagues before moving on to bigger things.
Patrice Evra, Etienne Capoue and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa are just three defensive stars to have transferred their talents to foreign shores after serving their apprenticeship. The failures—men like Stephane Mbia—are relatively rare in comparison.
This article covers both young players set for a big year in Ligue 1 and established stars who will surely have a major influence throughout the season.

This poem was shared to me by someone who cared for me when I was in a very dark place over 20 years ago. It still carries a place in my heart and dreams today.
To Risk
To laugh is to risk appearing the fool.
To weep is to risk appearing sentimental.
To reach out is to risk involvement,
To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self.
To place your ideas and
dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss.
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
To live is to risk dying,
To hope is to risk despair,
To try is to risk failure.
But risks must be taken because
the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
The person who risks nothing, does nothing,
has nothing, is nothing.
by William Arthur Ward (1921-1994)

Life would be much easier for IT provisioning if an organization's needs remained static. But it's just a fact of being an IT professional that you have to respond to scenarios such as:
- A simple request to bring on a new supply chain partner who needs to both submit and receive data from that enterprise resource planning system that is scheduled for replacement "as soon as our budgets allow."
- A need to move a series of applications to one or more cloud providers to free up in-house capacity, but also continue to use the existing long-haul network supplier for the balance of the contract.
- A visit from your compliance officer saying that you need to track data sent out of the organization to that sweet enterprise dashboard software as service/cloud tool that you're bringing online.
These scenarios require an agile and adaptable application plumbing approach that augments existing infrastructure but can be provisioned quickly; one that provides the logging and reporting capabilities that your organization requires. We're going to suggest considering messaging as a service as one concept to address the needs illustrated in these scenarios.
Let's look at messaging as a service in more detail.
Messaging as a service
The "messaging" we're contemplating is not an outsourced email or text messaging. In this context, we're talking about the transfer of loosely structured data between endpoints in a secure, compliant, flexible way. The "as a service" part describes how it is implemented and the business model by which such data movements take place.
We could redefine messaging as a service as "a means of adding, extending, or replacing existing application to application data transfer in a way that requires few additional resources (software, hardware, people) while offering rapid bring up and ability to reconfigure, in a pay-as-you-consume model."
How would this work in a traditional approach?
The traditional approach
Typically, in order to extend a supply chain, the hosted applications of one partner need to talk to those of the other, and this generally requires a virtual private network connection between the two locations. Establishing an outside tunnel into your datacenter is not something to be undertaken lightly. It requires appropriate due diligence by all parties and close, secure administration guidelines.
Because allowing a VPN into the heart of your data isn't a simple task due to the security requirements, as the number of partner connections grow, so does the complexity and administration overhead.
A new partner may have to modify their application to conform to the other partner's requirements, which will extend the bring-up period with development and test cycles. And if the applications are "legacy" versions, such changes may not even be desirable or indeed possible.
We've actually developed a messaging as a service approach to avoid having to use a VPN tunnel. "Messaging" meaning the definition proposed earlier:
"a service to detail a means of adding, extending, or replacing existing application-to-application data transfer in a way that requires few additional resources (software, hardware, people) while offering rapid bring up and reconfigurability in a pay-as-you-consume model."
Let's look at this approach.
CloudPrime's messaging as a service approach
The architecture of the CloudPrime provision is shown schematically in Figure 1.
Figure 1. The CloudPrime component architecture
In Figure 1, all the components are certificated under the management of the CloudPrime Control, allowing for explicit access control during data exchange. The components within the Message Delivery Network can be established across regional zones within a single cloud provider or replicated across many independent providers. Message routing is under the command of the CP Control and can be constrained to meet any geographic compliance needs.
The key component in terms of application connectivity is the CP Connector. This small Java™-based software-only component establishes outbound secure connections to well-known addresses in the CP Message Delivery Network (delivered to the Connector at initialization and refreshed at appropriate intervals). At no time are connections required to be established from outside the partner's organization — that means no inbound ports are required to be opened and managed in the existing firewalls.
The CP Connector is configurable to support a wide variety of connection protocols including simple file collection and delivery from within a file system hierarchy. This is implemented via a channel:protocol mechanism in which a Connector is able to support as many channels as the system resources allow.
Each independent channel is configurable to differing levels of data protection, spanning from simple digital signing through to 256-bit AES. The CP Connector wraps the encrypted payload within an XML envelope containing the metadata used by the CP Managed Delivery Network (including destination address, time to live, archive retention period, etc.) This metadata includes optional fields that can be populated from the specific channel:protocol fields. Such optional metadata is archived alongside the payload (where enabled) for later analysis.
The enveloped data is then passed over SSL links to two or more CP Routers according to configuration. Once the Router acknowledges receipt, the Connector is relieved from any subsequent responsibility to take part in message recovery and retransmit.
The Router will forward according to its routing table and archive as required. All intra-instance messaging is via SSL links.
The receiving CP Connector manages sequenced delivery, eliminating duplicates and initiating message recovery where required. The receiving channel:protocol is independent of the sending channel:protocol pairing.
The CP Portal provides browser-based access to the logging and archive data. Since all data moved across the Message Delivery Network is logged at the "message" level, it allows administrators to quickly review when and where such messages originated and when they are ultimately delivered. If such a message was indeed a file, then the file metadata would be available for review; in cases where archiving has been enabled, the file itself would be available. Compare that setup to scanning endless VPN packet logs with cryptic commands and filters.
Any data (or file) captured by the Connector is guaranteed to be delivered to the destination connector, relieving any need for the application to be network-aware in terms of retries and acknowledged delivery. This feature allows applications originally designed to be co-resident with their peers on a highly reliable local network to be dispersed into clouds without recourse to explicitly dealing with network transients.
Example scenarios
Following are some scenarios that you may encounter using this approach. We mentioned these earlier, now we'll dig a little deeper into the details.
The new partner
In this scenario, a new supply chain partner needs to both submit to and receive data from an ERP system that is scheduled for replacement:
- Neither party will have an appetite for lots of custom integration costs that will be lost when the ERP system is replaced. The integration role is provided by configuration of the CP Connector to deliver the data payload direct to the ERP system. The new partner can send data to the CP Connector at their end independent of the ERP system needs.
- Only the CP Connector needs to be installed at each end; the rest of infrastructure is provided as a service.
Moving datacenter apps
This scenario entails moving a series of datacenter-based application data to one or more cloud providers using existing long-haul network supplier:
- From a schematic point of view, what is required is a CP Connector channel:protocol pair to be inserted into existing application communication paths. Only a single Connector is required in each geographic instance, supporting multiple channels.
- The addressing scheme by which the transmitting channel targets the receiving channel is independent of IP or DNS considerations, so Connectors can be relocated at will. This integration is "elastic" such that if at future time the partner application is moved to a public, private, or hybrid cloud, the connector moves with the application. No other reconfiguration is required. The communication paths between the Connector and within the Message Delivery Network can be over whatever network provider the partner wishes.
Tracking data
Here we track data sent out of the organization to an enterprise dashboard software as service tool.
As long as that data passes through a CP Connector, the compliance needs can be met. The location of this connector can be an instance in the same geographic location as the enterprise dashboard provider, in which case data transmitted over the public network can be further encrypted. It could also be hosted with the CP Managed Data Network as a proxy service.
CloudPrime offers IT administration staff and developers an easily deployable alternative to VPNs when applications at disparate locations need to be integrated quickly, reliably, and in an auditable way. Evaluation connectors can be simply installed to test the viability and ease of use.

Master of Arts (MA) in Creative Writing
On this page:
Introduction to the MA
The Master of Arts (MA) in Creative Writing (CREW) is offered in two streams:
- CREW 591 Creative Writing Portfolio (Writing for the Page)
- CREW 592 Creative Writing Portfolio (Scriptwriting)
For general information or advice about the Master of Arts programme at Victoria University, please see the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences MA page.
The information on this page applies to both streams of the MA in Creative Writing. You can also visit our Advice to Scriptwriting Applicants page for additional information and advice from Scriptwriting Director Ken Duncum.
About the MA in Creative Writing
The MA in Creative Writing is one year full-time graduate research degree, which gives recognition to work in creative writing. The programme does not teach a specific set of predetermined skills; rather, it encourages writers to identify and articulate, as appropriate, their own distinctive voices in their chosen medium. It is built around a strong workshop culture, reflecting our belief in the importance of nurturing individual voices within a lively community of writers.
Entry to the programme is competitive, with 30 places available each year: 20 in the Writing for the Page stream and 10 in the Scriptwriting stream.
Writing for the Page and Scriptwriting streams
Writing for the Page (CREW 591 Creative Writing Portfolio): this stream aims to develop the literary skills and imaginative capacity of talented new writers of poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction through a programme of workshops, portfolio supervision, and complementary reading. This stream offers 20 places in two separate groups. The two workshop groups will meet jointly for special events, including guest writer visits and masterclasses. By the end of the year each student will submit, as a final portfolio, a book-length work of literature, of publishable standard.
Scriptwriting (CREW 592 Creative Writing Portfolio): this stream aims to develop the craft skills and imaginative capacties of talented new scriptwriters through a programme of workshops, industry placements and collaborations, portfolio supervision, and complementary reading and viewing. It is not restricted to a single performance medium (film and television screenwriters will work alongside others who are writing primarily for stage and radio). By the end of the year each student will submit, as a final portfolio, a full-length script to third-draft standard.
Writing for the Page (CREW 591) is jointly directed by Emily Perkins and Chris Price.
The Scriptwriting programme is directed by Ken Duncum.
Entry requirements
To be considered for either stream of the programme you will normally need to have a university degree, in any subject. You must also submit a 10-20 page writing sample, and other support material, with your application. This sample should demonstrate your ability to write in the genre or medium in which you intend to specialise. The quality of your writing sample in particular will be central to the selection process.
Visit our How to apply page for full details of our entry requirements and the application process.
Fees, prizes and scholarships
Current tuition fees for the MA in Creative Writing are detailed on the individual course pages for CREW 591 and CREW 592. Domestic and international applicants can also calculate the total fees or find a full breakdown on the Unversity's Fees page.
Read more about scholarships and prizes relevant to the MA in Creative Writing.
Elements of the MA Programme
Workshop groups meet twice each week from late February / early March until October. Full attendance is expected, except in exceptional circumstances. The specific timetable for each stream is confirmed early in the year but there are no meetings during university breaks or study / exam periods. View the current trimester dates.
Each week you will attend a three-hour workshop. At workshops a range of exercise work is presented and discussed; and you present for discussion your own portfolio work-in-progress.
Reading Programme
You are required to read and/or view extensively in an area related to your writing project, usually following an individually tailored programme. You report either in two formal 3000-word essays or through an extensive Reading Journal which you keep throughout the year.
Reading Programme Meeting
This weekly meeting is an opportunity for the discussion of literary, craft or industry issues and of works and authors from individual reading lists. It provides a forum for guest visits by writers and industry professionals. During the year each member of the class leads a seminar relating to an aspect of their reading/viewing list or their portfolio project.
Although you will discuss your portfolio work at workshop meetings, you will also be assigned a supervisor, with whom you will meet regularly. As against the diversity of views you are likely to meet in workshops, your supervisor provides the response of a single, continuing reader. Your supervisor will respond to your work as you write it and will act as one of your final readers when the folio is submitted.
Industry Placements
Each student in the Scriptwriting stream of the MA will also complete about 40 hours of industry placement. Arrangements will be negotiated at the beginning of the academic year, but please note that placements will normally be organised for the June/July mid-year break.
Visiting Writers
Each year, leading international writers across a range of genres are invited to teach masterclasses for current MA in Creative Writing students. See International Guest Writers for more.
Assessment for the MA in Creative Writing is based entirely on the final portfolio. Three examiners will provide written reports on your work. Before you graduate, a hardbound copy of your portfolio must be deposited in the Victoria University Library, thus becoming part of the University's record of its research archives. The hardbound copy must be accompanied by an identical electronic version. You can choose to make this version publicly available, or temporarily or permanently restricted.

EDITOR'S NOTE: These are excerpts from columns written by The Tactless Texan in the Amarillo Globe in early 1935. Tack was writing about the sandstorms that plagued the area. The first originally ran March 5; the second, April 23; the third, April 25.
"It went to the east of us."
I'm sure fed up with the above remark and I've surely heard it scores and scores of times the last few years just after we missed another big chance for a lot of moisture. And youalls must have noticed that I did not predict any rain or snow, although the weather department was positive we were about to have a big general storm.
As usual, the storm area didn't come down quite this far but missed the Panhandle in shunting off to the east. The reason I didn't predict any storms is that usually when it takes two or three days for a storm to get ready to move down here, it results in this storm going eastward. Our big moistures come sort of sudden-like; whenever there is much of a delay we are blowed up.
But boy, oh boy, do I feel wonderful, wonderful today now that the sun is out and the dust storms are over temporarily. My system sure is charged up with great quantities of "Vitamin K" and I feel like the top of the morning.
Just check yourself up and you'll find that the day after a day of Hereford hail or Dalhart dew you feel wonderful and grand. It's because in assimilating dust you also assimilate much of "Vitamin K" which is an element of life and energy. You know what an atom is, don't you? Well the dust in this country becomes atomized and when we get out in the dust storms, our systems become filled with new kick and new life and new everything.
Mark what I say. The day will come when this plains country will be recognized as the greatest health country that the sun has ever shone upon.
Show me any part of the country where people feel as good and grow as big and look as ruddy and healthy as they do right here in this plains country. Our football proves that we grow boys here who are stouter and tougher than any other part of Texas. And people live longer here. Look over the death notices and see how many of our folks live to reach the late seventies and who often live well into the eighties and the nineties.
And here is something else:
Everyone knows that all of us have suffered financially and economically the last six years. No phase of the worst of the depression has missed us but we have to admit that we've been the healthiest lot of broke bozos that most anyone has ever heard tell of. ...
Mrs. C.F. Hefner, 1107 South Buchanan Street, just telephoned, and this is what she had to say:
"Tack, I have just had my house dust-proofed and it's wonderful. Not even so much as a speck of dust can enter my house - even when the worst dust storms are blowing. I'd be delighted to show anyone through my dust-proof home."
And folks, despite our dust storms, old Amarillo sure has its head up. Maybe we are a bit bent and battered but the home-loving folks here sure can take it. Drive about and you'll see hundreds and hundreds of beautiful lawns kept up to the last minute and adorned with the most exquisite flowers and shrubs. The bridal wreath was never more beautiful than it is right now and it's everywhere in the residential districts.
Folks, honestly, I don't believe the sun ever shone upon people who have the gumption that the folks of this Panhandle country have. And those who cannot take it might as well take out. There are plenty who will stay on and they will keep on making Amarillo much prettier and much more attractive each year.

"The stay was excellent, not the first time we stayed there overnight. Unfortunately, the restaurant was very busy (a family party), and it would have been nice if we were told so at the reception. Now the reception was in a hurry, and we felt lost a bit. The breakfast was excellent as usual."

Outside of the upper-echelon players, underclassmen seldom know when they are serious targets for elite national programs like Alabama. What can help them separate moderate interest from the beginning of an all-out push for a player is an event like Saturday's Junior Day.
With dozens of prospects expected on campus, some of the top targets will most certainly be pulled aside at one point during the day for exclusive one-on-one time with Nick Saban or another member of the staff.
Moves like that have led to early commitments in the past, and it wouldn't floor most if the process duplicated this time around with another good group of players in Tuscaloosa combined with another championship to Alabama's name.
Among the many players expected Saturday include top 2014 Crimson Tide targets like five-star cornerback Marlon Humphrey, the Hoover (Ala.) standout and son of former Tide great Bobby Humphrey. He headlines a group of players that are already beginning to get close because of their shared national exposure. Joining Humphrey will be junior running back commitment Bo Scarborough, a four-star, of Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Northridge. He has been recruiting for Alabama since he committed in the fall, and has targeted this day to try and help seal the deal with players like Humphrey, fellow 2014 four-star running back Racean Thomas of Oxford (Ala.) High and big three-star offensive lineman and NFL Legacy Orlando Brown of Suwanee (Ga.) Peachtree Ridge High.
"I want my boys "Roc ( Thomas), Orlando (Brown, Jr.), Marlon (Humphrey). I'm working hard on them," said Scarborough.
That group is certainly the top group of targets, but several other talented players will be in town. Like the group mentioned above, the elite targets already come to town with offers from Alabama - so a commitment is possible.
Among the best in the state expected are a trio of four-star defensive players, each viewing UA highly early in the process. Linebacker Tre Williams, defensive back Ronnie Clark and defensive end/outside linebacker Rashaan Evans each garner specific attention from Saban and company. Each is undeclared at this time, which can't be said for Atlanta (Ga.) St. Pius X safety Nick Glass, a Georgia pledge taking in Tuscaloosa with friends Demarre Kitt, Dante Sawyer and Bryson Allen-Williams. Kitt, a four-star wide receiver, holds an Alabama offer at this time while Glass and Allen-Williams may add one in the near future.
Other prospects expected to attend, with current verbal offers from the Tide, include three-star quarterback E.J. Moss and recently offered defensive tackle Dontavius Russell. But perhaps most intriguing of any visitor on the list we've compiled thus far is Brandon Dawkins. The four-star quarterback from Westlake Village (Calif.) Oaks Christian High is primarily a Pac-12 target despite an early offer from Notre Dame. But at 6-foot-4, 215 pounds, combined with the direction of Doug Nussmeier's offense at Alabama, it wouldn't surprise many if he traveled back to California with a UA offer on the table.
We here at BamaMag.com will have updates throughout the coming days on how the Junior Day went Saturday, and the most up-to-the-minute information will be available in our premium forums. Refresh there periodically, or simply click HERE for the latest.
In the meantime, here's a look at Dawkins.

We have drivers running the stop arm all the time, and we don't have any adds on our buses now. If it can help the bottom line and not be a "wrapped add" then I am for it.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A bill being considered by the Florida Legislature would extend to three miles the school bus eligibility threshold for middle and high school students.
The legislation, which was referred to an education committee on Tuesday, would also allow school districts to place ads on the outside of their buses.
Currently, middle and high school students in Florida who live farther than two miles from school are eligible for bus service, which is the same walking distance as for elementary students.
While the new bill would increase the walking distance to three miles for secondary students, it would also allow secondary students who live inside that threshold to be eligible for transportation if it's determined that they have hazardous walking conditions to school. That provision currently only applies to elementary students.
Mike Connors, president of the Florida Association for Pupil Transportation, said that with the proposed change in hazardous walking conditions policy, the legislation might end up putting more students on the bus than it takes off.
Connors also noted that school districts would probably be reluctant to increase their walking distances to three miles for secondary students. "Parents are not going to like that," he said.
Under the advertising portion of the legislation, districts could place ads from one business per bus. Up to 5 percent of the fee collected could be used to pay advertising agency costs, and the remainder would be used for school transportation purposes.
The proposal creates a safety concern for some pupil transportation officials.
"As a state organization, we're still opposed to putting any advertising on the outside of the school bus," Connors said, noting that it could be a dangerous distraction for other motorists. "We can't afford to have that happen around a school bus — someone going through a stop arm and hitting a kid."
We have drivers running the stop arm all the time, and we don't have any adds on our buses now. If it can help the bottom line and not be a "wrapped add" then I am for it.

I can't really explain this recipe... it is sort of an adaptation of a recipe on the youtube channel "Cooking WIth Dog" but also just a product of necessity. Ketchup and cheese slices should not really go into a spaghetti sauce, but it was all I had on hand, and surprisingly, it came out good enough that I would emake it again! Next time I'll do it with parmesan instead of american cheese, though, and with green peppers as suggested by the original recipe.

Victorian cop Tim Spiteri set for world record attempt to row from Geraldton to South Africa
- From: AAP
- May 28, 2014
A 36-YEAR-old Victorian policeman and his eight-man crew are preparing for a world record attempt to row 8500km across the Indian Ocean.
Tim Spiteri and his team expect to depart from Geraldton in WA's Mid West region in coming days, weather permitting, with the aim of reaching Durban in South Africa in less than 57 days.
The epic journey could take as little as 50 days and as much as 70 days, the crew estimate.
They will be totally unsupported, with each rower manning the oars for two hours followed by two hours of rest in a continuous shift cycle.
They say no rowing crew has ever made the crossing non-stop as most teams end their journey in Mauritius, which is about 1700km from mainland Africa.
Mr Spiteri, whose mother suffers from multiple sclerosis and is writing a children's book about the voyage, hopes to raise $250,000 for MS Australia.
He has so far raised more than $26,000.

GALLERY: Getting ready for world record row bid
Mr Spiteri completed an Atlantic Ocean crossing last year in 35 days, 12 hours and 41 seconds, which was the sixth fastest crossing in history.
Last year, Dutch adventurer Ralph Tuijn was attempting to row solo across the Indian Ocean when a tanker struck him in the darkness of night while he was some 2000km from Cocos Island and about 4600km from the Australian mainland.
Remarkably, Tuijn didn't require medical treatment and was rescued by the tanker LNG Sokoto.Originally published as Indian Ocean rowing attempt imminent

Maccabi veteran Lawrence to save Hendon
My early memories of going to football started at Claremont Road, home to Hendon FC. I remember using 50p vouchers from the Roy of the Rovers magazine to get in on matchdays. The club, which has a big Jewish fan-base, has experienced testing times recently including moving away from their spiritual home to the Vale Farm in Wembley, so it is great to hear that Hendon has fallen into safe hands with the club's die-hard supporters taking charge.
New chairman Simon Lawrence is one of three long-term Hendon fans who recently formed an initial Board of Directors after the Hendon FC Supporters Trust took control. The former MSFL stalwart has been playing for Norstar Old Boys in the Maccabi Masters League for several years. He has also participated in the last two Masters tours of Israel and is taking part in the latest one next month.
Lawrence said: "Taking ownership of the club has been the aim ever since the Supporters Trust was formed in 2006.
"It has taken us quite a while to get there but now the destiny of the club is in our own hands. We face a huge challenge to bounce back from the loss of Claremont Road and to ensure our survival and we appeal to all Hendon fans – past and present – to support us now and help ensure that the Hendon fans of the future are able to celebrate our bicentenary."
● Remember the name. Tamir Gonen Cohen won eight medals at the Israeli Swimming Championships. Gonen Cohen, 13, took gold in the 100m butterfly and breast-stroke, silver in the 200m, freestroke relay and medley relay as well as bronze in the 50m freestyle. She trains eight times a week at the Camden Swiss Cottage Swimming Club.
● Boxing promoter Robert Waterman has linked up with Israeli female boxing champion Hagar Shmoulefeld-Finer for her Bantamweight title fight at Casino Rama in Ontario, Canada. Shmoulefeld-Finer, 25, will come up against Germany's Julia Sahin, an opponent who has previously beaten her.
Rishpon resident Shmoulefeld-Finer is clearly not someone you would want to mess with. She is also a martial artist gaining a black belt in Karate in 2003.
Waterman has a busy couple of months coming up with boxing enthusiasts looking forward to the Jewish Care Boxing Dinner at the Millennium Hotel in Mayfair on October 7. This will be followed by the Phillip Green Memorial Trust boxing dinner on November 17 and a boxing dinner for Chabad in a big top in Bloomsbury on November 29.
● As a former South Manx player, I was gutted to see the team fold from the MSFL this week. Their demise coincided with a meeting that saw representatives from 10 league clubs bash out ideas to see if a working party should be set up to improve relations between clubs and the League Management Committee. Initial ideas include a loan system for teams struggling for players.
Lester Jacobs, chairman of Catford & Bromley Maccabi, has set up an unofficial working party on behalf of the counsel of MSFL clubs. Jacobs said: "The attendees included dedicated people. There was a mix of representatives from single and multi-club teams. We feel that we can do a job that isn't being done at the moment. Our plan is to help all clubs and represent them when we speak to the League Management Committee. Our only aim is to iron out the real issues and make life easier for the league and help improve it. I'm pretty optimistic something will happen."
