Monday January 26, 2015 Butler hopeful Gators can parlay Sunday's much-needed victory into something more

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Amanda Butler woke up Sunday morning and headed to the O'Connell Center for a rare noon tipoff against Arkansas.
Outside, a beautiful day. The same could be said of inside the O'Dome for the first time in three weeks.
The Gators women's basketball team snapped a four-game losing streak with a 72-58 victory against the Razorbacks, earning Butler her 150th victory as Florida's head coach.
The Gators pulled back even with .500 (10-10, 2-5 SEC) in a much-needed victory over an Arkansas team that, like Florida, has struggled in conference play.
In her eighth season at her alma mater, Butler has led Florida to the postseason every year (three NCAA trips, four WNIT berths). However, that streak appears in jeopardy as the Gators prepare to host Missouri on Thursday.
Florida has nine regular-season games remaining and five of those are against teams currently ranked in the Top 25.
Nothing has been easy this season, and nothing will be down the stretch.
The Gators are 10th in the SEC, ahead of only Arkansas (1-6), Missouri (1-6), Alabama (1-6) and Auburn (0-6) in the league standings.
On paper Missouri looms as a good shot at victory for Florida, but when the teams met Jan. 11 in Columbia, the Tigers won their only SEC game of the season, 66-47.
Florida shot 23 percent (14 of 61), including 6 of 32 in the second half after holding a slim 24-22 halftime lead.
The Gators needed a win in the worst way Sunday and they got one. It was as if the fog finally lifted and the sun splashed down on Butler's team.
"It's always important to win games for various reasons, obvious ones your record and positioning and those sort of things,'' she said Monday. "You can work really, really hard, but at the end of it all, getting the win and experiencing success in that black-and-white objective column is sometimes more powerful than some of those other ideas that we try to make important.
"I think it puts us in a great place mentally."
The short-term goal now is to still be in that place when they walk out of the O'Dome on Thursday night.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The NCAA Indoor Track & Field National Championships are not until March 13-14 at the University of Arkansas.
A lot can happen between now and then. Still, as early favorites go in the 4x400 relays, the Gators men's and women's teams made loud statements over the weekend at the Rod McCravy Memorial in Lexington, Ky.
First, the UF women's 4x400 relay team of Robin Reynolds, Destinee Gause, Kyra Jefferson and Claudia Francis set a new school record with a time of 3:29.58, which is the best time in the NCAA and world so far in 2015. The mark was the 12th-fastest all-conditions indoor time and just the 14th sub-3:30 mark in collegiate history in the process.
"I thought we could run fast, but I didn't necessarily think we would run that fast,'' Florida head coach Mike Holloway said Monday. "They're four very talented young ladies. They've been there before."
The Florida men's 4x400 team of Najee Glass, Hugh Graham, Jr., Nick Uruburu and Gino Hall made history too, setting a new Nutter Fieldhouse record with a NCAA- and world-leading 3:04.22.
The McCravy Memorial is an early season meet that featured 15 teams, including 12 ranked in the Top 25.
Holloway got a better gauge of where the Gators stand heading into the heart of the indoor season. The impressive relay performances were an added bonus.
"We are never surprised when we run fast relays,'' he said. "I tell people this all the time I don't think there is anybody that looks at what we do and goes, 'wow, I can't believe Florida did that.' We have a very talented group of people here. The relays are a staple of what we. We build our team from the relays out."
That could mean trouble for the rest of the field in March. The Gators are ranked No. 1 in both the men's and women's poll. If the Gators go on to bigger and better things the rest of the season, they will look back at the McCravy as a sign of what was to come.
"There was kind of a championship feel to the meet," Holloway said. "I think that's why you saw our athletes step up the way they did. They knew coming in that it was going to be a great meet."
Gators offensive lineman Trenton Brown certainly has the size to play in the NFL. (Photo: Tim Casey)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- For the past two seasons Max Garcia and Trenton Brown were stalwarts on Florida's offensive line.
Today at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala., Garcia and Brown are teammates on the North Team as they try to improve their stock in the eyes of NFL talent evaluators.
Voted Florida's Offensive MVP in 2014, Garcia (photo, left) transferred from Maryland and developed into the Gators' most consistent offensive lineman the past two seasons. He moved to center as a senior and performed admirably considering he had never played the position.
In an interview with 247Sports.com this week, Garcia said he has faced questions about where he sees himself playing after moving to center as a senior.
"Teams are asking me where I feel most comfortable playing,'' he said. "I've been playing center for a year, and I just like having the ball in my hand and being able to direct offensive linemen on the calls before the snap."

Meanwhile, Brown transferred to Florida from Georgia Military College in 2013 and split time between starting and filling a reserve role. Brown's size -- he measured 6-foot-8, 376 pounds this week in Mobile -- has draw attention from scouts and media this week.
Brown told 247Sports.com this week that his size -- and work ethic -- have been a topic in his interviews with teams.
"In my interviews, a lot of times the word 'lazy' had come up,'' Brown said. "I'm not lazy. I'm just even-keeled, chill guy. I don't get too high or too low."
The Senior Bowl is at 4 p.m. today and will be shown live on the NFL Network.
Friday January 23, 2015 Nussmeier has close ties to latest Sports Illustrated cover subject -- Seattle WR Jermaine Kearse
Updated: 12:01pm, January 23
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gators offensive coordinator Doug Nussmeier has been on the road recruiting all week and has not seen the latest edition of Sports Illustrated.
When informed that Seattle receiver Jermaine Kearse was on the cover for his game-winning catch Sunday in the NFC Championship Game, Nussmeier let out one of those gratified chuckles.
"Gosh, that's great,'' he said. "It couldn't happen to a better kid."
While America is just getting to know Kearse in the lead-up to Super Bowl XLIX, Nussmeier got to know him very well six years ago in his first season as offensive coordinator at Washington. Taking over a program that finished 0-12 the previous season, first-year Huskies head coach Steve Sarkisian tabbed Nussmeier to run his offense.
One of the first things Nussmeier did was make sure that Kearse was a featured part of the offense.
"He became our guy,'' Nussmeier said. "Jermaine was really a guy we counted on. He was just a reliable player, a really good player. It doesn't surprise me that he has made the big catches he has."
In three seasons playing in Nussmeier's offense, Kearse caught 160 passes for 2,570 yards and 27 touchdowns. He finished his career as Washington's second all-time leading receiver.
Following Kearse's senior season in 2011, Nussmeier left to become offensive coordinator at Alabama and Kearse joined Seattle as an undrafted free agent. A native of Lakewood, Wash., a Tacoma suburb about an hour south of Seattle, Nussmeier understands how big a story Kearse's big moment Sunday is back in the Pacific Northwest.
"Anytime a guy gets to grow up in Tacoma, went to Lakes High School, and then to play in his backyard at Washington, and then to stay in his backyard to get to play in the NFL, that's a big impact in your local community," Nussmeier said. "Good for him. He's one of those guys you like to root for. He was a great player when we had him."
Nussmeier was recruiting most of Sunday and missed the majority of Seattle's 28-22 overtime win over Green Bay. However, he did get to see Kearse make his now-famous 35-yard touchdown catch on a throw from Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson.
Running a straight Go route to the middle of the end zone, Kearse caught the pass with Green Bay cornerback Tramon Williams wrapped around him. He unwrapped himself and immediately tossed the football into the stands of a trembling Century-Link Field.
It was Kearse's only catch of the game after being targeted five times by Wilson. The first four of those passes toward Kearse were intercepted, including two that ricocheted off his hands.
"That throw was more so just a sign of frustration," Kearse said Monday. "Just letting a lot of frustration throughout that whole game out, just trying to throw it as far as possible. It's just something that happened in the moment."
As Nussmeier watched, Kearse's game-winning catch brought back memories.
"I remember one specifically he made for us our [second] year against Washington State to get us in a bowl game,'' Nussmeier said. "Late in the game he caught a touchdown sort of like he did the other night, in tight coverage, just a phenomenal play. We win the game."
The catch Nussmeier recalled was a 27-yard touchdown reception by Kearse on a throw from former Huskies quarterback Jake Locker to defeat Washington State, 35-28, with 44 seconds left in the game.
Kearse isn't the only connection for Nussmeier on the Seahawks. Seattle quarterbacks coach Carl Smith was Nussmeier's first quarterbacks coach in the NFL with the New Orleans Saints. Also, Seahawks quality control assistant John Glenn worked with Nussmeier during his time at Washington.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- If you have walked down Gale Lemerand Dr. on the University of Florida's campus, you have likely seen the sign: "Gatorade's Birthplace."
The invention of Gatorade by Dr. Robert Cade at UF in the 1960s stands as one of the most important developments in sports science in the 20th Century. The famous sports drink now has its own movie thanks to ESPN.
On Wednesday ESPN released "The Sweat Solution," a 30for30 short film that traces Gatorade's beginnings back to the Florida football program in the 1960s.
Former Gators head coach Ray Graves, who turned 96 in December, is in the film, as is South Carolina head coach Steve Spurrier, UF's first Heisman Trophy winner in 1966.

Tight end Jake McGee (No. 83) has been granted a sixth year of eligibility. (File photo)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gators tight end Jake McGee received good news Tuesday. The NCAA granted McGee's request for a sixth year of eligibility.
McGee transferred to Florida last summer after earning his undergraduate degree at Virginia, where he led the Cavaliers in receiving with 43 catches for 395 yards in 2013.
McGee enrolled in graduate school and was eligible to play immediately at Florida under NCAA rules. However, early in the season opener against Eastern Michigan, McGee suffered a season-ending broken left leg.
He applied for a sixth year of eligibility after the season and tweeted about the NCAA's decision on Tuesday afternoon.
Lets try this college thing one more time! thanks @ncaa 🐊🐊 see you in the fall!— Jake McGee (@JakeOvaTheWorld) January 20, 2015
McGee's return provides first-year head coach Jim McElwain with a proven pass catcher and playmaker at tight end, a position that has lacked significant production since Jordan Reed left after the 2012 season.
Monday January 19, 2015 UF women's hoops loses player, Brown and Garcia in Senior Bowl, Quinn update, more tidbits
Junior Antoinette Bannister is no longer a member of the UF women's basketball team. (File photo)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The UF women's basketball team already faced a difficult challenge Monday night at home: No. 1-ranked South Carolina.
The undefeated Gamecocks (17-0, 5-0 in SEC) roll into town as the top-ranked team in the nation for the first time in school history. South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley has built a program that is receiving its fair share of recognition this season, as is Staley.
Tonight's game is live on the SEC Network (7 p.m.) with former UF head coach Carol Ross serving as analyst.
Meanwhile, the Gators (9-9, 1-4) have found wins elusive since the start of SEC play, including a 62-56 loss at No. 10 Kentucky on Thursday. Florida led 51-50 with 4:24 left in the game but returned home staggered as the Wildcats closed on a 12-5 run.
It got worse for head coach Amanda Butler over the weekend when news broke that one of her key reserves, junior guard/forward Antoinette Bannister, was charged with theft of a credit card and fraudulent use of a credit card.
Bannister, who played in 13 games and started three, is no longer on the team. She was averaging 6.2 points and 2.5 rebounds per game but had appeared in only one of the last six games (three minutes vs. Ole Miss on Jan. 8).
The Gators need something good to happen as they try to turn their season around and avoid dropping below .500 for the first time this season. Although unlikely based on the current circumstances, an upset of the Gamecocks would be one way to do that.

Thursday January 15, 2015 Florida football program is most valuable financially in SEC according to Wall Street Journal study
Updated: 8:42am, January 15
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- If Florida's football program was available to purchase on the open market, say, like the NFL's Buffalo Bills were recently, you better bring a big wallet to the negotiating table.
In the annual valuation of college football programs published by The Wall Street Journal, the Gators are worth more than any team in the Southeastern Conference.
In the latest study by Ryan Brewer, an assistant professor of finance at Indiana University-Purdue University Columbus, the Florida football program is valued at more than $815 million.
That figure ranks behind only national champion Ohio State ($1.1 billion), Michigan ($999 million), Texas ($972 million) and Notre Dame ($936 million).
Alabama ($760 million) is ranked seventh and Georgia ($710 million) and LSU ($659 million) also crack the top 10, giving the SEC four of the nation's most valuable programs in financial terms.
Texas had held the top spot for three consecutive years until the Buckeyes dethroned the Longhorns this year.
The study ranked teams from 1 to 116. Louisiana-Monroe checked in last in the study. If $815 million for the Gators is out of your price range, the Warhawks are valued at a more affordable $6.4 million.

Tuesday January 13, 2015 Former Gators record holder in women's discus passes away
Updated: 2:57pm, January 13
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Jacqueline Mary Gordon enrolled at UF in the summer of 1975, two years after the birth of the Gators women's track and field team in the wake of Title IX.
Gordon grew up in Annandale, Va., and chose Florida over Penn State, Virginia and UCLA according to a sports publicity questionnaire she filled out while at UF.
The two-sided sheet of paper and three photos are all the items in a manila folder for "Jackie Gordon" filed away in the UF sports information office's morgue.
A political science major, Gordon threw the shot put and discus for the Gators and made her mark in the sport, earning outdoor All-American honors twice (1976, '78) in the discus.
A four-time state discus champion in high school, she set a then-UF record at the 1978 Penn Relays with a throw of 157 feet, 6 inches.
Gordon's record has long since faded from the top 10 in school history as athletes and training methods have improved drastically since her college career. The current school record in the discus belongs to Rachel Longfors (188 feet, 7 inches), set in 2004.
After leaving UF Gordon attended law school at the University of Virginia and began a successful law career and real estate business. She turned 58 on Dec. 10.
One of the questions on that questionnaire she filled out all those years ago was a simple one: Why did you choose Florida?
"Had what I wanted and needed academically, athletically and socially. Also, Brooks Johnson was coming here."
Johnson has been a prominent track and field coach since the 1960s and spent time at Florida during Gordon's career.
Sadly, a recent email arrived with news of Gordon's passing:
Jacqueline (Jackie) Mary Gordon passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2015. She was born on Dec. 10, 1956 in Washington, D.C., the daughter of John "Flash" and Barbara Gordon.
At W.T. Woodson High School in Fairfax, Va., Jackie was a five-sport athlete, was selected Woodson's Athlete of the Year her senior year, and won state AAA championships in discus and shot put. She held a state record in discus that was not broken for over 30 years.
While at the University of Florida for undergraduate school, she was a member of the track & field team, selected Lady Gator Athlete of the Year and was an All American in discus. She graduated in 1979 Phi Beta Kappa and went on to law school at the University of Virginia.
After graduation in 1982, she practiced in Dallas for four years, until moving back to Virginia to join McGuire, Woods, Battle & Boothe for several years. She continued practicing real estate law and was a member of the Virginia and D.C. bar associations.
She was elected to the Virginia High School Hall of Fame, the W.T. Woodson High School Athletic Hall of Fame, and selected for the Advisory Board of the Virginia High School League.
Jackie enjoyed supporting her alma maters, their athletic programs, mentoring student-athletes and was an avid sports fan. She is survived by two brothers, David and Garry Gordon, two nephews, three nieces and her beloved dog, Discus.
A private family service was held and memorial donations may be made to the Virginia High School League http://www.vhsl.org/doc/upload/foundation-2013-case.pdf.
Monday January 12, 2015 Bridget Sloan's foot not broken; Gators now waiting on MRI results
Updated: 6:39pm, January 12
The Gators gymnastics team is awaiting MRI results on Bridget Sloan's injured right foot. (File photo)
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Junior All-American gymnast Bridget Sloan delivered the goods early in Florida's season-opening victory at Ball State on Sunday. Competing in her home state, the 2008 Olympian and 2009 all-around world champion posted a 9.95 on the uneven bars and later scored a perfect 10.0 on vault.
However, Sloan suffered an injury to her right foot on her last tumbling pass during floor exercise and immediately needed medical attention. The injury forced Sloan to skip the beam event, the meet's final rotation, and cast a big question mark over the two-time defending national champion Gators as they move forward.
On Monday Florida head coach Rhonda Faehn said X-rays revealed that Sloan did not break her foot.
"There is no fracture, so that is great news,'' Faehn said. "Hopefully it's just a bump in the road and we're able to get past it."
Sloan was scheduled to undergo an MRI on Monday evening to determine if there is any ligament or tendon damage to the foot. The Gators expect to know Tuesday the results of the MRI and have a better idea about Sloan's timetable to return.
The Gators host Auburn in their home opener Friday night starting at 6:45, the new start time for home meets this season.
It was challenging for the team [to see her get hurt]. They were rattled. I tried as hard as I could to get them together."
Sloan wasn't the only Gator injured Sunday. Senior Jamie Shisler suffered an Achilles tendon injury and will miss the season, Faehn said. Shisler was scheduled to perform during the exhibition period Sunday but was injuring during warm-ups.
Friday January 9, 2015 Gators' 1977 win over Georgia highlight of Chandler's Hall-of-Fame career
Updated: 2:55pm, January 9
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Whenever Gator fans discuss the most dynamic playmakers in school history, those 30-and-younger instantly bring up Percy Harvin, and deservedly so.
Those Florida football fans who need an extra cup of coffee or two in the morning, well, they instantly mention Wes Chandler. If you ever saw Chandler play you know why.
Those at the National Football Foundation did and on Friday morning, the NFF announced that Chandler will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame as a member of the 2015 class.
Chandler arrived at UF in 1974 from New Smyrna Beach (Fla.) High and over the next four seasons, despite playing receiver in a wishbone offense, was a two-time All-American. Chandler finished his UF career with 92 catches for 1,963 yards and 22 touchdowns. He added 353 yards and six touchdowns rushing his senior season.
Chandler's 21.3-yard average per catch (minimum 75 receptions) remains a school record nearly 40 years after he played his final game at UF.
"When you are growing up in high school, you wonder what it would be like to play with such great athletes and just being part of that,'' Chandler said after learning of his induction. "For me, just to be able to get to Florida and participate with those individuals, individuals who had crates of talent, really helped me grow as a person and helped me grow as an athlete.
"I was just grateful to play there at Florida and with such great people and to be touched and coached by a lot of great people. I remember everyone that had an impact on my life."
Chandler was the third overall pick of the 1978 NFL Draft by the New Orleans Saints and played 11 seasons in the NFL with the Saints, Chargers and 49ers. He was selected for four Pro Bowls and led the NFL in receiving in 1982.
But it was in college, wearing No. 89, where Chandler dazzled fans at Florida Field with an array of moves and athletic ability that provided head coach Doug Dickey a versatile weapon unlike perhaps any other Gator before him.
Chandler is the eighth former UF player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, joining Dale van Sickel, Steve Spurrier, Jack Youngblood, Emmitt Smith, Wilber Marshall, Carlos Alvarez and Danny Wuerffel.
Chandler considers his signature game at Florida a victory over Georgia in 1977 at the old Gator Bowl in Jacksonville. The Bulldogs had won three in a row over the Gators, including a 41-27 win the previous season in which the Gators blew a big lead.
In his final opportunity to get a win against Georgia, Chandler split time at receiver and running back.
The final score: Wes Chandler 18, Georgia 17.
For the record, the actual score was 22-17, but Chandler scored all three Florida touchdowns while catching three passes for 50 yards and rushing 15 times for 57 yards in an emotional win for the Gators.
"Beating Georgia for the first time, I've got to say that was one of the most gratifying moments of my college career because it was the stigma,'' he said "We thought one year we were going to the Sugar Bowl and we lost. We had a commanding lead. The fact we had not beaten Georgia in my time there and to finally get over that hump was one of the major accomplishments.
"There are so many more memories, just playing with so many other guys who had great talent was a blessing in disguise for me. I still say that Georgia game was the impact moment in my career."
Watching that day at the Gator Bowl was Bud Asher, Chandler's high school coach and by then a scout for the Oakland Raiders.
After Chandler was named the game's MVP, Asher told the Daytona Beach Morning Journal that Chandler was just getting started.
"I just wish there were some way the Raiders could get him, but with us picking so far down in the draft, there is no way a player of Wes Chandler's ability will be available,'' Asher said. "But one thing for sure, Wes Chandler is going to be a superstar in the pros."
Asher was right. He had seen enough to know, first at New Smyrna Beach High, and then those four years at UF that earned Chandler a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame on Friday.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Gators head coach Jim McElwain held a press conference earlier today and then spent some time to talk casually to reporters who cover the program on a daily basis.
McElwain took over day-to-day operations of the program on Monday and held his first team meeting Monday night to give the players an opportunity to meet the team's new coaching staff.
McElwain said he plans to start meeting with players individually on Thursday and that the relationship-building process is key early in the transition.
"I thought there was great energy in the room,'' McElwain said. "The guys were very receptive and, you know what, should feel good about themselves."
Check back with GatorZone.com later for a more in-depth story off McElwain's press conference. For now, here are a few loose ends McElwain was asked about:
--Junior linebacker Antonio Morrison announced Tuesday that he was returning to school for his senior season. Morrison suffered a knee injury in the first half of the Birmingham Bowl and his status for spring practice remains uncertain.
"Right now it's under evaluation,'' McElwain said of Morrison's injury. "I know that there's probably some stuff in there, as far as what direction we go, when to fix it, how much needs to be fixed, all that is up to the medical staff."
--McElwain has one spot on his coaching staff left to fill at wide receivers coach. He said there is no timetable attached to the hire.
"The key is to get the best guy,'' he said. "The guy is going to affect these young men's lives, allow them to perfect their craft."
--As of now, former UF quarterback Chris Leak is not part of the football staff.
"He isn't, and yet, who knows as we move forward,'' McElwain said. "There's a lot to be done before we move forward on that."
Leak served as receivers coach in 2014.
--He was asked if new Associate Head Coach/Co-coordinator Randy Shannon would serve as a de facto co-defensive coordinator with defensive coordinator Geoff Collins. Shannon is also linebackers coach.
"With Geoff, yeah. As will defensive backs coach Kirk [Callahan], as will [I] when I come in and mess with them. There will be a lot of that, but he'll have a big hand in that. And part of that is just because he's been a defensive coordinator."

"He made a choice. There were some things that we all do. We'll be here for him. It's nothing personal. You know what? At the end of the day you have to affect the people around you in a positive way and do what's right."

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- The Birmingham Bowl was not the final game for junior linebacker Antonio Morrison in a Gators uniform.
An All-SEC second-team selection this season, Morrison announced Tuesday that he is returning to school for his senior season.
"I'm returning to Florida and I will be getting my degree in 2015. That plays a big role in why I'm returning,'' Morrison said. "And as a leader of this team, I want to lead my team to Atlanta and possibly a national championship. Coach McElwain has put together a great staff and I'm looking forward to working with them this year."
The return of Morrison provides Florida's talented defense with its anchor at middle linebacker. Morrison led the Gators with 101 tackles this season, becoming the first UF player to eclipse 100 tackles in a season since Ahmad Black in 2010.
A native of Bellwood, Ill., Morrison started every game of his junior season and finished with 10 or more tackles six times, including a career-high 16 against South Carolina and 15 against Georgia.
Morrison also added six tackles for loss, a sack, an interception and a fumble recovery in his best season at Florida. Morrison has played in 33 games the past three seasons and has 191 career tackles.
His return provides new UF defensive coordinator Geoff Collins and linebackers coach Randy Shannon a veteran in the middle to build around as young linebackers Jarrad Davis, Alex Anzalone, Daniel McMillian and Matt Rolin vie for playing time around him.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gators head coach Jim McElwain officially took over day-to-day operations of the team on Monday and had a busy day.
He announced six more additions to his inaugural UF coaching staff, highlighted by the hire of former University of Miami head coach Randy Shannon as associate head coach/co-coordinator and linebackers coach.
Meanwhile, junior defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard announced he is returning for his senior season and fourth-year junior quarterback Jeff Driskel confirmed he is transferring to Louisiana Tech.
Here are other links of interest to Florida football fans as the program transitions from one coach to another:
--While Bullard will return, Gators offensive lineman and fellow North Carolinian D.J. Humphries announced on Twitter that he was leaving school to enter the NFL Draft.
--Senior center Max Garcia, originally invited to play in Saturday's Medal of Honor Bowl, will now play in the more prestigious Senior Bowl on Jan. 24:

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gators junior defensive lineman Jonathan Bullard made a decision on his future Monday.
Bullard is returning to school for his senior season.
"I wasn't projected to go where I want to go,'' Bullard said. "I want to leave a bigger mark on the Florida program than what I have."
After in-depth discussions with his family, former Gators head coach Will Muschamp, and others, Bullard considered it in his best interests to return to UF next season and futher develop as a player.
Bullard capped his junior season Saturday with six tackles and a sack in Florida's 28-20 victory over East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl. He finished the season with a career-high 52 tackles and 8 1/2 tackles for loss.
A full-time starter the past two seasons, Bullard is looking foward to finishing his career before entering the NFL Draft in 2016.
"As a veteran player coming back, I want be a leader on this team as the program enters a new era with a new coaching staff,'' Bullard said. "I want to be a role model for the younger players and help them to buy into the future of the program."
Monday January 5, 2015 Driskel confirms he will enroll at Louisiana Tech; thanks UF staff and fans for their support

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- If you know Jeff Driskel or have spent any time around him, his message to Florida fans should not surprise you.
Driskel is leaving in classy fashion.
Florida's starting quarterback at the start of the season, Driskel lost his job to Treon Harris late in the season and made his final appearance for the Gators on Saturday in Florida's 28-20 victory over East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl.
On Monday morning Driskel confirmed that he is departing the program after four seasons and will play at Louisiana Tech in 2015. He plans to enroll at Louisiana Tech in March.
Before starting the next phase of his career, the fourth-year junior from Oviedo provided the University Athletic Association with a statement regarding his future and his career with the Gators.
"There have been rumors going around that I am going to leave the University of Florida and transfer to Louisiana Tech University for my fifth and final year of eligibility. This is indeed true, and I look forward to the upcoming chapter of my life,'' Driskel said. "I have nothing but good things to say about the University of Florida and the football program there.
"I am grateful for the opportunities that have been presented to me over the course of the past four years. Although things did not play out on the field as I would have liked, I have no regrets on the choice I made to attend UF. Again, I appreciate everything that my coaches, teammates, strength coaches, athletic trainers, equipment staff, academic staff, fans, and the University of Florida have done for me."
Driskel arrived at UF in the spring of 2011 as one of the nation's top prep quarterbacks out of Hagerty High in Oviedo. In 29 career games at UF, Driskel threw for 3,411 yards, 23 touchdowns, 20 interceptions and completed 59.4 percent of his passes. He also rushed for 644 yards and nine touchdowns.
Driskel joins a Louisiana Tech program led by former East Carolina and USF coach Skip Holtz, who led the Bulldogs to a 9-5 record and Heart of Dallas Bowl victory over Illinois last week.

The Harrier is a small to medium sized dog breed of the hound class, used for hunting hares by trailing them. It resembles an English Foxhound but is smaller, though not as small as a Beagle.
In any case, today's Harrier is between the Beagle and English Foxhound in size and was developed primarily to hunt hares, though the breed has also been used in fox hunting. The name, Harrier, reveals the breed's specialty. The Harrier is still fairly rare in the United States, but has a long history of popularity as a working pack dog in England.

History of Congress and the Capitol
This is the story of one of the world's great experiments in government by the people.
For more than two centuries, a new Congress has convened every two years following elections that determine all the seats in the House and one-third of those in the Senate. While the individuals change, the institution has endured-through civil and world wars, waves of immigration and great migrations, and continuous social and technological change.
Following the War of 1812, a stronger sense of national unity emerged in the United States. As America expanded westward, however, attempts to spread slavery into those new territories seriously divided the nation.
Regional Disputes
With an equal number of senators representing slave and free states, the Senate became the setting for explosive issues that increasingly divided the industrialized North, the agricultural South, and the rapidly expanding West.
Emerging from the shadow of the House of Representatives, the Senate matured into a creative and active lawmaking body. By 1850, it had grown to 62 members. Yet, unlike the far larger, more crowded House Chamber, the Senate still offered a relatively intimate setting that encouraged extended debate.
A Forum for Orators
The Senate's tradition of letting senators debate without time limits, and its relatively small size, encouraged great speakers. The even split between North and South inspired the orators. Daniel Webster of Massachusetts delivered two of the most significant speeches in American political history on the Senate floor: his "Second Reply to Hayne" (1830) and the "Seventh of March 1850" address.
Passionate words reflected senators' determination to exercise their power. Bitter struggles with President Andrew Jackson and his successors over the economy tested and reinforced the Senate's power, allowing the chamber to evolve into its modern role as a leading forum for setting national policies.
Who has more power, the Federal Government or the States? This basic question took on vast importance as arguments over slavery divided the nation. It also inspired one of the Senate's most famous debates.
Robert Y. Hayne of South Carolina presented the Southern viewpoint. He argued that states could ignore Federal laws that violated constitutional rights. "Liberty first, and Union afterwards," Hayne proclaimed. Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts responded with a ringing defense of the Federal Government's power to establish policies benefiting all Americans. He concluded with the now immortal words, "Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable!" Webster's speech propelled him to the top rank of American statesmen and strengthened relations between the North and West—at the South's expense.
"Liberty and Union, now and forever, one and inseparable!"
— Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, January 27, 1830
The Senate gained new prominence in the 1830s as a result of its battle with President Andrew Jackson. Jackson's veto of an act to renew the charter of the Bank of the United States angered many members of Congress. When the President refused to comply with a Senate request for important documents related to bank operations, the Senate censured, or formally rebuked, him for assuming powers that he did not have under the Constitution. Jackson angrily rebuffed the Senate and dismissed its censure. Three years later, when Jackson's Democratic Party regained control of the Senate, the new majority voted to strike, or delete, the censure from the Senate Journal. Behind this debate lay a fierce struggle for power between Congress and the President over which branch would take the lead in shaping national policy.
In Congress, one person may have reasons to keep information private, while another has equally compelling reasons to make it public. In 1844, as the volatile issue of slavery inflamed emotions, Senator Benjamin Tappan of Ohio gave a secret treaty to a journalist. He wanted to publicize sections of the treaty that would allow slavery in Texas.
The Senate censured Tappan and threatened to expel future members who "leaked," or revealed, secrets.
Four years later, someone in the Senate gave the still-secret Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, ending the Mexican War, to New York Herald reporter John Nugent. Determined to make good on its threat to enforce secrecy, the Senate ordered Nugent imprisoned in the Capitol until he named his source. Nugent refused. A frustrated Senate eventually released the reporter without discovering his source.
Three great Senators dominated what has come to be called the Senate's "Golden Age of Oratory," from the 1830s to the 1850s. The legendary orator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts spoke for industrial New England. Henry Clay of Kentucky, the "Great Compromiser," represented the Western frontier. The Southerner John C. Calhoun of South Carolina defended states' rights and the institution of slavery. Yet all three represented the United States. Alternately feuding and cooperating, this "great triumvirate" helped forge major legislative agreements, culminating with the Compromise of 1850.
The compromise included the Fugitive Slave Act, which required Northern states to return escaped slaves to their owners. By supporting it, Webster defied his antislavery constituents in Massachusetts, sacrificing his political career. The Massachusetts Senator believed passionately that he should defend the interests of the whole nation.
"I wish to speak today, not as a Massachusetts man, nor as a Northern man, but as an American."
—Senator Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, March 7, 1850
"I owe a paramount allegiance to the whole Union—a subordinate one to my own State."
—Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky, July 22, 1850

We have a section called "extraordinary" garden statues wherein we have such pieces as the Big Foot garden statue, the dinosaur statues and several other outdoor statues that defy definition. An interesting piece in this collection is the Harvest of Evil Garden Scarecrow Statue. As harvest time is coming up and we have our free delivery sale, now is the time to take a look at this scarecrow with a skull for a head and something of a lizard, zombie-like body. He is dressed like any scarecrow and is sculpted in haunting detail and hand painted.
You know that you have wanted to pick up some of our reptile sculpture such as our tortoise statue and now is the perfect time to add something slimy and cute to your garden. Our Stacked Frogs Cast Iron Statue is just the thing. These adorable four frogs of cast iron are stacked one upon the other making the statue 10" high. They are finished in a green patina and are an exclusive.

2011 Brother Lucian Blersch Symposium — Tuberculosis: Global Health & Infectious Diseases
Every year, there are three million new infections of tuberculosis. While TB is treatable, it is the leading cause of death worldwide as a result of a bacterial pathogen. In fact, TB as a result of infection by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) takes the lives of two million people per year. While there has been much success in the past couple of decades in controlling the disease, the progress is being threatened by multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant strands. These strands are much more difficult to diagnose, treat and cure than Mtb. This year's Lucian Symposium "Tuberculosis: Global Health & Infectious Diseases" will examine the different components to this global epidemic. The event will take place 12:30 to 3 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21 in Jones Auditorium, Robert and Pearle Ragsdale Center.
Event Schedule:
- 12:30 p.m. Welcome
- 12:40 p.m. Eamonn F. Healy: "A role for Heat Shock Proteins in the formation of the tuberculous granuloma"
- 1 p.m. Khisimuzi Mdluli: "Developing novel drug combinations for TB – Treatment shortening and combating resistant disease"
- 2 p.m. Clifton E. Barry III: "Extensively Drug Resistant Tuberculosis: not your grandfather's disease"
This year's presenters include:
Dr. Clifton E. Barry III, PhD, a senior investigator in the Laboratory of Clinical Infectious Diseases as well as chief of the Tuberculosis Research Section at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in Bethesda, Md. Dr. Barry has also successfully developed a clinical research program in South Korea were he has on-going trials with over 800 participants. His group has also contributed to the development of PA-824, a new drug now in Phase II clinical trials, and developed SQ109, now in Phase Ib trials.
Dr. Khisimuzi Mdluli, PhD, is a senior project leader of biology at the TB Alliance, responsible for evaluating discovery projects for inclusion in the TB Alliance portfolio, and overseeing current drug discovery projects. A native of Swaziland, Dr. Mdluli is a highly regarded expert in the microbiology, molecular biology and biochemistry of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. A three-year Visiting Fellowship at NIAID resulted in a number of seminal publications by Dr. Mdluli in 1998 that describe the mechanism of action and a potential target of isoniazid, a cornerstone drug in the fight against TB. Established in 2000 to address an urgent health need, the TB Alliance has as its mission the discovery and development of improved TB treatments. Today, the organization and its partners manage the most robust portfolio of new TB drug candidates ever assembled.
Dr. Eamonn F. Healy, PhD, is the Brother Lucian Blersch Professor of Science and professor of chemistry at St. Edward's University. He is currently researching the design of structure- activity probes to elucidate enzymatic activity. The interdisciplinary approach includes molecular modeling for the simulation of inhibitor binding, overexpression of the target proteins and in vitro assays of enzymatic activity and inhibition. Targets include HIV-1 integrase, the c-Kit and src-abl proteins, and the metalloproteinases associated with CXCL16 shedding.
Organized by the School of Natural Sciences at St. Edward's University, the event is free and open to the public. This symposium honors Brother Lucian Blersch, CSC, a longtime professor of Engineering at St. Edward's University who died in 1986 and in whose name a professorship in the school of Natural Sciences was endowed by a gift from J.B.N. Morris hs '48, '52, and his family.

Features and Benefits
Eurostar™ 24 volt series of Halogen MR-16 lamps from USHIO provide professional grade lighting. The UV protected Halogen capsule is aligned within a Titanium Oxide coated reflector. The hard Titanium Oxide surface of the reflector provides consistent color throughout the life of the lamp.
The 24 volt systems use half the current (amperage) than 12 volt systems. This allows higher wattage loads and up to twice as many lamps on a longer lighting system. The 24 volt systems are less prone to voltage drop over longer wires and connections which results in more consistent brightness and color.

VINELAND, NJ -- "She is like my child. She's been with me for years."
Frank Torres is angry and heartbroken, to say the least, after burglars broke into his Vineland home on Wednesday and stole his big screen TV, laptop and his best friend, his female bull terrier "Katie."
"You could have taken a million dollars from me, it doesn't matter. The dog means a lot to me; it's my best friend. It's my son's best friend," Torres told FOX 29.
Torres arrived home Wednesday right after work and headed straight to the bedroom where his dog Katie usually sleeps on his side of the bed. He panicked when he didn't see the dog and began searching the house. It turns out that not only was the dog gone, but so was her bed and dog bowl.
"To actually take a family pet. It's like having a part of the family taken from you," Torres said. "It's like having your child abducted."
Nicoletta Torres says the thieves also stole the couple's 55-inch flat screen TV and a laptop they normally leave right on the couch.
"I can't even imagine the type of person that this thought would even cross their mind," said Nicoletta Torres.
Vineland Police say there were no signs of forced entry and the Torres' admit they may have left a door unlocked because they have a dog and live in a quiet neighborhood.
Police dusted for fingerprints on a gate and the front door. They are still investigating.
"Just return her safely or, if you're afraid to get in trouble, drop her off at a local shelter," Nicoletta said.
"We really just want the dog back. We really don't care about anything else. Nothing else is important to us," Torres emphasized.
Vineland police report that there have been some burglaries in the area in recent months.
The Torres family says they adopted Katie from the nearby SPCA shelter in Vineland four years ago.
If you have any information on the whereabouts of the dog or the burglars, the Torres family asks that you call the Vineland Police. (856) 691-4111
Great News. Katie has been found! The owners tell us that police have the dog, and they are on their way to pick her up.
More details to come. But here's what we know right now; Police are waiting for warrants for a search of the properties where they believe the dog-nabbing burglary suspect has been hiding out. We'll keep you posted on when Katie gets back home!

Opinion: Wish kids could see the county I remember
January 14, 2011 at 6:11 pm in The Daily Republic
We traveled to Presho from Pierre the other evening for the hotly contested Chamberlain Cubs vs. Lyman Raiders girls' basketball game.
The temperature outside was, well, frightful, and Highway 83 had a few small drifts decorating its shoulders. Still, the driving surface was fine, and the visibility except for the occasional shot of blowing snow just above the roadway was limited only by the horizon and approaching night. Continue Reading

I was hoping for a good look for work for the fall that was a little different. Where the different colors come together the seams do not lie flat and so it looks cheap instead of chic.

For my money, one of the more interesting 'unsung heroes' in the entertainment business (and there are many, many of them) is a man called Gary Goddard.
Goddard is something of a jack of all trades: he's an accomplished producer on and off Broadway, over the years he's been hugely responsible for the development and implementation of a number of high profile, high end attractions (TERMINATOR 2 3D: BATTLE ACROSS TIME at Universal, JURASSIC PARK: THE RIDE, also at Universal, the recently closed STAR TREK EXPERIENCE in Vegas, etc).
Back in 1992, Goddard & Co. came close...very close...to mounting an extraordinarily ambitious project in the heart of Las Vegas, which was looking for ways to make bold statements, establish unusual attractions, and generally revitalize itself. A life-sized Starship Enterprise was proposed...which they actually figured out how to build. Visitors would be able to tour the ship's interior, and engage in a number of entertainment opportunities. The attraction would've looked something like this -

The repository pattern seems to be really popular for isolation and testing purposes. I was just curious in a general description how do you guys keep your repositories safe? Because if someone accesses a generic repository that isn't supposed to they could run all kinds of commands on your database. So what types of checks do you implement at the repository level?
EDIT: I'm not asking for in-depth examples btw, I know how to do basic authentication/authorization checks I'm just more curious if people are using better methods then what I currently know. I love to research how to improve my programming
