Joomla! 1.5 RC2: Endeleo - Happy Birthday Joomla!
- Details
- Category: Project Release News
- Created on Friday, 31 August 2007 17:33
It is roughly five weeks after the RC1 release and we have made major improvements in certain areas of the 1.5 codebase. Time to share another RC with the community. Some improvements and areas of changes are listed below:
- Router refactoring solving a range of bugs
- Media Manager refactoring, moving this to MVC standards
- Updated scripts (version); mootools, tinyMCE, Xstandard
- Core template improvements
- Template language installer support
- ... and of course a lot more
Note: due to the Router refactoring there will be known issues with SEF url's.
Important, you need to upgrade! In the current RC1 we found three security issues, one SQL injection, one XSS, and a few full path disclosure vulnerabilities. Those security issues are solved in the new release.
Where we go from here: as you might have read on a recent blog, we will have at least one more Release Candidate (RC3) and hope to move to a Stable release from there on.

Re-introducing Andrew Eddie Lead Developer
- Details
- Category: Team News
- Created on Wednesday, 15 August 2007 06:29
The 'masterchief' (his forum handle) has never been too far away though. He has been an active member of the Development Working Group and his assistance with bringing Joomla! 1.5 to where it is today is noteworthy.
Andrew's lead-level contributions are properly recognised with this appointment — without the administrative burden that comes with core team member responsibilities. In short, this mean Andrew is now a lead dev but not a core team member.
"I don't regret my time in the top job, though it's not one you really ask for because it is very tough on your person and your family," Andrew said, "but being down in the engine room once again has been good for me, and ultimately for the project. We are really quite lucky I think, because we have a great team at the moment and continue to attract people to the Joomla! project who are fair-dinkum about Open Source and have genuine outward-giving hearts. That's a pretty good legacy for a project in my book."
When asked about his favourite bits of the next version: "There are lots of things, but I'd have to say the biggies are the the MVC architecture we have in the frontend, the revamped template override system, and the new menu manager. These are among the many new features that release so many of the shackles we had to 'hack' around as developers in the current version."
When asked about his vision for Joomla!: "The CMS genre is very different from what it was when I entered back in 2003. Back then it was about putting content back in the hands of the regular folks. Now, with the advent of the Web 2.0 phenomena, the requirements for a CMS to provide artistic freedom for designers is also being pushed to the limit. I can never forget when we were back doing Mambo, I don't think a release was out for a day and people were pushing the envelope and asking for more. The people I've had the pleasure of working with over the years have always had the knack of being able to find a good balance between user needs and toys for developers. So, my vision would be that this continues, and that Joomla! continues to embrace the new technologies that will come and craft them in such a way that it empowers the regular user to do more and more with their websites."
Andrew lives near Toowoomba, Australia, with his family, and the red-back spiders and brown snakes from the farm next door. Prior to being a full-time Joomla! consultant, Andrew worked at the Toowoomba City Council as a developer of their Content Management Systems and Web Based GIS, and as a Civil Engineer before that.

Helicopter Crashes in Downtown Seattle, Killing 2, Injuring at Least 1 [UPDATED]

Declaring 2014 a "year of action" as he unveiled a series of relatively meager executive actions, President Barack Obama vowed in his State of the Union address Tuesday night to sidestep Congress "whenever and wherever" he can in order to push through his agenda.
"Truckers For The Constitution" is a group of truckers who are planning on congesting The Beltway around Washington DC on Friday, to show their disapproval of our government's actions...
According to The Blaze, they did; the Democrats and Republicans, in secret emails recently leaked, worked together to get a meeting with President Obama to exclude themselves from the Affordable Care Act.
A group of World War II Honor Air Veterans, on a trip to visit the memorial built in their honor, did not allow the barricades blocking the memorial stop them...
The FBI has released footage of Aaron Alexis at the Washington Navy Yard on the day of his killing spree last week.
This is truly one of those OMG moments when Judge Jeanine Pirro goes off on the President and the entire administration.
President Obama's entrance and speech at the 2013 White House Correspondent's Dinner is funny and note his new entrance music.
These songs were popular:
These events were current:
Does government have it wrong? I recieved an email recently that contained the following message. I don't know where it originated so I don't know who penned these statments. Whether you agree with government or not, use these words as food for thought...
Recently, a poll of their Congressional approval rating found that only nine percent of the American people had a favorable rating of their senators and representatives. So the congressmen buckled down and got to work and got their rating up to…17 percent. If they want to keep up this white hot pace, they should try some of these ideas.

Cloud Computing
A computing environment consisting of pooled compute resources that can be consumed "as needed."
Why use cloud computing?
Pooling compute resources allows for simplified management, increased visibility of application workloads and cost transparency, ultimately accelerating business processes and cutting costs.
How does cloud computing work?
Cloud computing leverages the efficient pooling of on-demand, self-managed virtual infrastructure to create a shared resource that's consumed as a service. This model creates convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Resources are rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction.
Benefits of cloud computing
- Greater efficiency – resources are virtualized and pooled ensuring physical infrastructure is used to its maximum capacity.
- Greater agility – IT resources can be provisioned on demand and returned to the resource pool just as easily.
- Rapid scalability – instantly allocate additional computing resources to meet business demands due to peak seasons, company growth or decline
- Lower costs – infrastructure, energy, and facility costs, "pay as you use" model
- Greater IT staff productivity – Automated provisioning through self-service portal
- Reduce wasted resources – transparent pricing and metering and chargeback tools allow IT admins to pinpoint where costs can be reduced
- Higher utilization of IT investments
- Enhanced security and protection of information assets

In 1600, what was to become Connecticut was essentially nothing but trees.
"If it isn't a rock outcrop, and it isn't a wetland or water body, and it isn't a bald patch on a coastal dune, it is all forest," said Robert M. Thorson, a University of Connecticut professor of geology who has researched changes in landscapes extensively.
Not only was the landscape dominated by trees, they were big, mostly mature trees, said David R. Foster, director of Harvard University's Harvard Forest in Petersham, Mass., and an authority on New England forest history.
The Connecticut forest 400 years ago was a rich mix of species, often park-like, without much brush in the understory. In places, native Americans burned patches of forest to keep them open, but much of the state was simply mature, pristine forest.
Native Americans grew crops, but their numbers were comparatively small and their impact on the woodlands was thought to be slight, though there are differences of opinion today among researchers on how just how much the Indians altered the landscape.
Once European settlers arrived, in the first decades of the 17th century, landscape changes became far more dramatic, as early settlers cleared land for their farms. Still, at first, that clearing was largely confined to parts of the Connecticut River valley and the coast, old towns like Windsor, Hartford, Wethersfield, Old Saybrook and Guilford. The rest of the state was woods.
For example, as late as 1700 the hilly countryside that would become New Hartford was forest, river and lake, said William Hosley of Enfield, a cultural resource and marketing and development consultant who has studied Connecticut history for 34 years. There may have been native American trails in the area, but any other sign of human presence was unlikely, he said.
In 1714, with Connecticut still a colony, Henry Woodward moved from Lebanon to Columbia, buying the hill beside an area known as the Great Meadow, creating a farm whose history roughly parallels many of the changes in the Connecticut landscape over the centuries. By 1830, that hill was known as Woodward Hill.
"One of the first things he did was build a dam on the stream exiting the meadow, build a sawmill, and begin the process of deforestation that is such a part of the New England story," said Walter W. Woodward, a professor of history at UConn, the official Connecticut state historian, and a descendant of Henry Woodward.
The Woodward dam and sawmill was but one of many small-scale dams and mills erected mostly on smaller streams. The remains of some of them still can be found along rivers.
By the time the Connecticut Courant began publication in 1764, the population in the colonies had grown substantially, and a state that once was all trees was rapidly losing its forest cover. For roughly the next 80 years, the percentage of the state in forest would plummet.
On April 22, 1817, a column written by the lexicographer Noah Webster, who was born in what is now West Hartford, appeared in The Courant. Titled "Domestic Economy," it was a reaction to deforestation and one of the first pleas for conservation in the U.S.
Noting that the state already was extensively cleared, Webster argued that it could no longer sustain the enormous amount of wood burned each year in homes. It was time for more efficient fireplaces — and time to embrace a conservation ethic.
"But we are not merely to seek the means of subsistence for ourselves — we are not to waste and destroy, for the sake of present enjoyment; we must not strip the inheritance of its wood & its fences and its timber, and leave it barren and impoverished for the next generation," he wrote. "We must not be so improvident as to render our country uninhabitable."
On the land that Henry Woodward farmed stands a three-story colonial home built during the years of the Revolution, probably the second home built on the site. It remained in the Woodward family until the death of Walter Woodward's great-great-grandfather in 1875 forced the sale of the home outside the family.
Woodward, the state historian, was delighted to see the home up for sale last year. He bought it in August. "The Woodward Hill Farm in Columbia, Conn., is once again back in the family and I am its steward," he said.
If Stone Walls Could Talk
In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, as the Woodward family expanded and relatives built homes and farmed in the area, they, like thousands of other Connecticut farmers, created stone walls, one of Connecticut's most iconic landscape features.
Many of the Connecticut farms were to disappear, but as every hiker in Connecticut knows, old, crumbling stone walls are found throughout the state's forests, even near ridge tops, a legacy of thousands of farms that once covered the land. Many of these old stone walls enclose what was once pasture or cropland. The same farmland today is densely covered with big stones.
One of the prevailing assumptions is that Connecticut farms were abandoned, with farmers often heading to the flat land of the Midwest, because the soil was so rocky it was a nightmare to tend crops each year.

FIGURE 2.17 Diamond-anvil apparatus (top). The sample is placed between two opposed diamond anvils, the tips of which range from 0.01 to 1 mm across, depending on the pressure range of interest. The vertically oriented strip is a metal gasket that prevents the sample from extruding. Diamond is ideal for high-pressure studies because is it strong, chemically inert, and transparent to most light. SOURCE: <http://www.physics.missouristate.edu/Faculty/Mayanovic/mayanovic_research_webpage.htm>. Used with permission. A shock wave experiment can be carried out using a gun (right), magnetic drive, or laser. The projectile can produce pressures and temperatures that exceed those at Earth's center (like a diamond anvil cell) but for very short periods of time (in contrast to static anvil experiments). New methods combine both static and dynamic approaches to reach pressure-temperature domains (Jeanloz et al., 2007). SOURCE: <www.gps.caltech.edu/~sue/TJA_LindhurstLabWebsite/index.html>.

FIGURE 2.18 Influence of pressure on the iron atom. Shown is the predicted charge density of the doubly charged iron cation (Fe) in the mineral ferropericlase (Mg,Fe)O, in which it is surrounded by six oxygens (O). (Left) At low pressure the spins of the d electrons are maximally aligned, producing a net magnetic moment on each iron atom (called the high-spin or HS state) and the magnetic properties that we are familiar with, such as the tendency of magnetic minerals to align with the magnetic north pole. (Right) At high pressures characteristic of Earth's deep mantle the spins pair (called the low-spin or LS state), the atomic magnetic moments vanish, and iron-bearing minerals are nonmagnetic. The figures show that the size and shape of the iron cation also change across the high-spin to low-spin transition: iron is smaller (by about 10 percent in volume) and less spherical in the low-spin state, which should produce a change in density and other physical properties of iron-bearing minerals.

Differing theological views on important issues of sexuality will need time, patience, deep biblical reflection, respectful discourse, and religious liberty to be worked out in the churches. But the perception of Christian faith is in grave danger when Christians try to use the law to publicly discriminate against those who don't adhere to their point of view.
I am particularly proud of the history of Kansas as a progressive leader against discrimination. Fast forward to 2014 and the Kansas House of Representatives turns away from our proud heritage. The Kansas House passed a law that clearly and forcefully discriminates, in both the private and public sector, against same-sex couples.

Direct flights departing from London to Las Vegas take 10 to 11 hours to reach their destination. This assumes that the plane flies at a fairly consistent speed of 500 mph and that takeoff and landing add roughly 30 minutes to the overall flight time.
Finnair, British Airways, and American Airlines offer nonstop flights from London to Las Vegas. American Airways, US Airways, United, Delta, Lufthansa and a few other airlines offer flights with one or two stops. One or multi-stop flights normally lay over in a major city, such as Dallas, New York City, Atlanta or Miami, and it can take travelers up to 26 hours to reach their final destinations.

Dear Mamaplanes,
In general, my advise is not to be a snow-plow parent, especially around friendships issues. Friendship groups go through ups and downs and, most of the time, they work themselves out. That said, there are a number of things to consider:
Are these boys just messing with him in a good-natured, affectionate way, or is there a mean-spiritedness behind this picking on him? Does your son just need a little more maturity to recognize friendly teasing and to develop a thicker skin, or is he overly sensitive (and perhaps overly competitive) in other situations as well? And last but not least: Does this dynamic mostly only crop up when they are playing video games -- and maybe for a period of time after they finish playing?
That would make me wonder about the nature and influence of the games themselves. Research is pretty conclusive these days that violent video games can increase aggression in kids. So what are the games these boys are playing? If you think the games may be creating an unhealthy dynamic, is it time to talk to parents of the other boys? What about a group meeting of parents and boys to talk about video games and brainstorm some guidelines. I don't mean that you make your son's issue the talking point, rather that the parents generate discussion (and share concern) about video games so that the boys choose to monitor themselves, with some help. My son's friendship group did this successfully, but this will only be possible if there is a respectful dynamic among the boys and if it's affection that underlies the teasing, not meanness.
The other possibility, of course, is that all this feeds in a negative way into a personality trait of your son's that makes him highly sensitive. I don't just mean a kid whose sense of humor isn't well-developed yet. If he's hyper-sensitive, you've probably noticed this tendency before. Sometimes, role-playing with him can help him develop coping skills but if this is a trait that interferes in relationships, he may benefit from a professional evaluation and guidance.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. As the sizes of sensor networks and mobile devices shrink toward the microscale, and even nanoscale, there is a growing need for suitable power sources. Because even the tiniest battery is too big to be used in nanoscale devices, scientists are exploring nanosize systems that can salvage energy from the environment.
Now, researchers at the University of Illinois have shown that a single nanowire can produce power by harvesting mechanical energy. Made of piezoelectric material, the nanowire generates a voltage when mechanically deformed. To measure the voltage produced by such a tiny wire, however, the researchers first had to build an extremely sensitive and precise mechanical testing stage.
With the development of this precision testing apparatus, we successfully demonstrated the first controlled measurement of voltage generation from an individual nanowire, said Min-Feng Yu, a professor of mechanical science and engineering, and a researcher at the universitys Beckman Institute. The new testing apparatus makes possible other difficult, but important, measurements, as well.
Yu and graduate students Zhaoyu Wang, Jie Hu, Abhijit Suryavanshi and Kyungsuk Yum describe the measurement, and the measurement device, in a paper accepted for publication in the journal Nano Letters, and posted on the journals Web site.
The nanowire was synthesized in the form of a single crystal of barium titanate, an oxide of barium and titanium used as a piezoelectric material in microphones and transducers, and was approximately 280 nanometers in diameter and 15 microns long.
The precision tensile mechanical testing stage is a finger-size device consisting of two coplanar platforms one movable and one stationary separated by a 3-micron gap. The movable platform is driven by a single-axis piezoelectric flexure stage with a displacement resolution better than 1 nanometer.
When the researchers piezoelectric nanowire was placed across the gap and

Florida residents contribute to Arizona's fight for immigration enforcement law
When the Obama administration goes to court Thursday against Arizona's new immigration enforcement law, Mark Benson of Jupiter will have a stake in the outcome.
Not just a political stake, but a monetary one.
Benson is one of hundreds of Floridians who have contributed to a legal defense fund for Arizona Governor Jan Brewer because they support the Arizona law and want a similar statute in Florida.
"When the federal government doesn't do its duty, then you have to shake it up," says Benson, 60, who donated $250 to the cause. "I believe it is important to get the federal government to protect our borders."
The Arizona law, to take effect July 29, is seen by supporters as a way to achieve just that. The statute requires state and local police to ascertain the immigration status of anyone they stop for any reason -- including traffic infractions -- if they have a "reasonable suspicion" that person is in the country illegally. It empowers the officers to arrest persons found in violation of immigration laws.
Opponents have labeled the law racist and say it will be used to specifically target Latinos. The Obama administration has argued that the law violates the Constitution by giving to the state a role in immigration enforcement, a duty that it contends should belong exclusively to federal authorities.
Today, Justice Department attorneys will ask a federal judge in Arizona to grant an injunction blocking implementation of the law. The administration hopes the law will eventually be thrown out altogether.
Florida Attorney General and GOP gubernatorial candidate Bill McCollum has filed an amicus brief supporting Arizona in the legal battle. And State Rep. William Snyder, R-Stuart, has written a similar bill for Florida and will wait to see what happens in the Arizona case before deciding whether to introduce it to the legislature in March.
According to polls, most Americans and Floridians back the Arizona law.
As of July 15, 24,767 people around the country donated $1,149,088 through online donations to the Governor's Border Security and Immigration Legal Defense Fund. Of those, 1,336 Floridians donated $64,582, placing the state fourth in contributions behind only Arizona, California and Texas.
"I'm proud to be on the list of donors," said Ronald J. Tiede, 63, an insurance salesman from Lutz in Hillsborough County, who gave $50. "And it has nothing to do with race. It has to do with legality. I grew up in a country of laws. I have disagreed with some of those laws, but I have followed them. Let's be legal."
Jane Inden, 68, a retired travel agent from North Ft. Myers, spoke about how her husband had to flee Hungary after he joined in an unsuccessful uprising against the communist government there in 1956.
"He came here, but he did it legally," says Inden, who donated $25. "I want people to follow the law. I ask my friends, 'If those people don't follow the law, why should I?'
"I don't understand why this president is going after Governor Brewer," Inden says. "I'm very proud of her and very unhappy with him. Why isn't he going after people who aren't following the law?" But Inden, who is of English, German and Swiss heritage and grew up on an Illinois farm, says she is also bothered by what she sees as a shifting ethnic balance in the country.
"I can't go anywhere without hearing Spanish," she says. "I don't like too many people of one nationality coming in. We are losing our own country."
She is also angry at political tactics employed by the immigrant community, especially large street demonstrations that began in 2006.
"That really made me mad," says Inden, "Those protests and people waving Mexican flags."
Benson of Jupiter says he has no problem with Mexicans or other Latinos.
He is an independent radio producer, but says he has also done some cattle ranching.
"The Mexicans who come here are good people," he says. "We could have a lot worse neighbors than the Mexicans."
But Benson says he disagrees with Obama administration proposals that would allow 12 million illegal immigrants now in the country to become legal residents and possibly citizens.
"It wouldn't be just 10 or 12 million as they say," says Benson. "Once they became citizens then they could bring family members as well, so we're talking maybe 50 million."
Immigrants rights activists put the numbers at about half that.
Benson also fears that the U.S. will build a permanent underclass, like the one that exists in Mexico, because some U.S. employers refuse to pay decent wages and attract U.S. citizens willing to work. He especially faults farmers who insist they can't afford to pay better wages.
Benson wants laws against employers who hire the undocumented enforced. But he also wants existing laws implemented that would let those employers to apply for special guest worker visas and bring foreign workers in legally and temporarily if needed, and at decent wages.
Immigrant advocates have condemned the Arizona law, saying that it could lead to some other states adopting similar measures while others don't, leading to confusion and conflict across the country.
But Benson says backing the Arizona law is a way to force the federal government's hand.
"The problem isn't the illegal alien," says Benson, "The problem is the system that creates illegal aliens. And that system has to change."

Oregon St (+13.5) @ TCU
Everyone know Oregon St sucks on the road early. Everyone knows Oregon St struggles when they break in a new quarterback. Everyone knows TCU is going to be a really good team this year. Is this pick really that easy?
On the Other Hand:
At some point, even if by blind luck, Oregon St is going to get a QB that doesn't need to slowly climb up the learning curve to reach competence. If that happens this year, the Beavers could actually win this game. They've got a solid defense, strong offensive line, and the Rodgers brothers may be the two best players on the field (though TCU's Andy Dalton and Tank Carder may have something to say on the matter). At the least, if they get a decent performance from Katz, two touchdowns is too big of a line, even for Oregon St on the road in week one.
Bottom Line:
It's Oregon St, on the road, in week one, with a new quarterback. When that many trends scream "take the other guys!", and the other team should be better, the pick almost makes itself.
@ TCU 28, Oregon St 13
UCLA (+1.5) @ Kansas St
The season hasn't even started yet, and UCLA is already feeling the pain of injuries, especially on the offensive line. Throw in Kevin Prince's questionable status, and they've got serious issues on offense. And with the defense looking like it's rebuilding, it could be tough for the Bruins to go on the road and beat anyone good.
On the Other Hand:
Admittedly I'm no KSU expert, but I'm really not buying the Wildcats. They lose their starting QB, a bunch of guys on defense, and most of their receivers. As it was, they were only 4-6 last year against 1-A teams, with the best teams they beat either being Texas A&M or Kansas. And did I mention they lost to Louisiana (Sun Belt Louisiana, not LSU)? It's no wonder that Bill Snyder wanted no part of annual games with Texas and Oklahoma starting in 2012 ( link here ).
Bottom Line:
Winning in Manhattan (KSU usually does pretty well there) is a tall task for a Bruin team that frequently struggles on the road. That said, they still do have better talent than the Wildcats, and this is an absolute must-win if they are to have any remotely realistic chance of making a bowl game in 2010. Something tells me they find a way to get it done.
UCLA 24, @ Kansas St 21
Arizona (-16) @ Toledo
The real question here is whether Toledo is one of the mediocre teams that Arizona makes a living crushing, or whether they're good enough to hang with the 'Cats, in which case this could actually be an upset. Unfortunately for Toledo, they look like they're in the first group. Their defense was a sieve last year against the run and the pass, only once holding an opponent under 20 points, and three tims giving up over 50. The Wildcats will run or throw at will, and the Rockets don't have the offense to keep up on the scoreboard. This one should get ugly.
Arizona 38, @ Toledo 17
USC (-21.5) @ Hawaii
This feels like a fairly boring game where USC wins by 17 – 28 points. Hawaii has a good home-field advantage, USC is rebuilding at a number of key positions… but a minor blowout still seems pretty likely. The talent difference is just too big to think that this should be an interesting game. 21.5 may be a touch high for a spread, but not by much.
USC 35, @ Hawaii 14
Washington St (+15.5) @ Oklahoma St
Something tells me that NO ONE will be picking the Cougars to cover, and that makes this a dangerous line. Moreover, the Cowboys are in a severe rebuilding mode, which will be especially difficult for them early in the year. If this is really a matchup of the 70th best team and the 100th best team (a reasonable guess on both ends), then anything over two touchdowns in just too much. And finally, if there's any chance that almost everyone is wrong about the Cougars, and that having more depth, more experience, and a healthy James Montgomery makes them substantially better, then this might actually be a winnable game. I'm definitely not going that far… but I could definitely see this being competitive.
@ Oklahoma St 31, Washington St 21
New Mexico @ Oregon (-34)
The only real question here is whether how hard Oregon tries to cover the line. Since they're breaking in a new QB, I'm guessing they spend a lot of time trying to go through the whole playbook and doing everything they can do to give him more experience. That means they won't likely let up until later in the game, and it's unlikely that the Lobo offense can do much of anything against Oregon's very good defense.
@ Oregon 48, New Mexico 7
Portland St @ Arizona St (NL)
@ Arizona St 45, Portland St 3
UC Davis @ Cal (NL)
@ Cal 45, UC Davis 3
Sac St @ Stanford (NL)
Yawn (though Stanford did gag against the last AA team they played five years ago, so I guess you never know).
@ Stanford 45, Sac St 3
National Games of the Week:
Boise St (-2.5) @ Virginia Tech
This is a really tough game to pick. Honestly, I think it's a 10-14 point win waiting to happen, accompanied by the endless "of course this was going to happen, how could any of you idiots pick the other side" by the winning team's fans. That said, I really don't know which team it will be, so I'm going with the wimpy pick instead.
Boise St 24, @ Virginia Tech 23
UNC vs LSU (-3)
Before all the off-field problems for UNC, I liked them to ride a stifling defense to a nice early season win. Now, though, a number of the defensive players may be out, perhaps the whole season. Presuming at least a couple have to site (wild, uninformed guess on my part), I'll take LSU. If they all return, I'd take UNC. In other words, I need to make a guess, but this isn't exactly a high-confidence pick.
Pitt @ Utah (-3)
Another tough game to call. On a neutral site I'd give Pitt a small talent edge, but since it's at Utah…
@ Utah 28, Pitt 27
Bad Lines
Colorado St +12
This game is usually fun. Seven of the last eight have been decided by a TD or less, and I don't think that the Buffs have improved enough to pull off another 2008 blowout.
Middle Tennessee St +3
MTSU has had a good tendency to cover at home vs AQ teams (covered against Louisville in 2006, covered vs Virginia in 2007, won outright vs Maryland in 2008), were arguably the better team in 2009, and return a lot more than the Gophers. I think they win outright.

2.Save the bone for stock. Cover the chicken with a thin plastic sheet. Give a couple of whacks on the meat to flatten it, with the help of a mallet. At home you can use a wine bottle or something heavy. The meat should have uniform level of thickness.
3.Heat up some oil over medium heat. Put the goat cheese, sage, spinach, rosemary at the center of the meat.
4.Sprinkle fresh orange zest on top. Season with salt and pepper. Roll the meat into a nice package. Season the outside also with salt and pepper.
5.Sear the roll on the pan. Let it cook for a while, so that you can do the other side smoothly. Keep rolling the meat as long as you sear. Move this from the pan and put on a piece of alumnium foil.
6.Roll the foil, and pinch the ends. Place in a preheated oven at 350F for 15 mins. The internal temperature of the meat should be 168F, when it is properly cooked.
7.Slice the ends off and bring roulade out from the foil.
8.Give a final seasoning.

Schedule of fines in the works for High Springs
- Details
- Published on Friday, 06 June 2014 19:46
- Written by C.M. WALKER
- Hits: 2703
HIGH SPRINGS – The city's Code Enforcement Board may soon have a schedule of fines they can levy to those citizens who do not comply with city codes. While the city already has an ordinance allowing their board to levy fines, a schedule of fines has never been created. In the past, the board could levy a fine based on their own discretion depending on the degree of infraction. However, if the citizen complied with the regulations, the board frequently forgave the fine, even if it cost the city to pursue the case.
In cases where citizens have not complied within a reasonable time, the city would notify the property owner that they would go onto the property and either clean up the problem or remove a dilapidated structure, depending on the issue, and would then be able to file a lien against the property for the cost of cleanup and all relevant fines.
While all of these remedies are still available to the city, the schedule of fines will eventually be set by the city commission as part of this new ordinance and fine waivers, should the property owner ask for one.
Citizens will have to go before the city commission to plead their case for reduction or waiver of fees instead of asking for fee waivers from the Code Enforcement Board at the time they present evidence of compliance with city codes.
Commissioners may decide to waive fines when the property owner comes into compliance, but they likely will also take into consideration and possibly charge citizens for the city's cost in having to pursue the case, especially if the case leads to the cost of filing a lien.
City Manager Ed Booth recommended at the May 13 commission meeting that the city attorney's office determine a schedule of fines based on what other cities of similar size have set.
Although no action was taken at the meeting, it is expected that a new ordinance will be presented in the future for commission approval.

Proof of hard work

SUZETTE COOK/Alachua County Today
Santa Fe High School 1997 graduate and former NFL football playher Adrian Peterson visited Santa Fe High School to speak about his new book "Don't Dis My Abilities" recently.
ALACHUA – Adrian Peterson, 34, is walking down the hallway at Santa Fe High School like he never left. The 1997 graduate and all-star football and basketball player is home after all. Next to him is a student pushing a rolling cart with a box of books on it. This time, Peterson is more than a famous athlete. He's an author bringing his own book to the Raider media center.
"The library still looks the same," Peterson says to the students in front of him. "It still smells the same, just the people are different."
And then he begins to talk of his journey.
"I am living proof of hard work," he says. "That being from Alachua, Florida, I grew up with a speech impediment, had a big dream and made it to the NFL."
Peterson started dreaming of becoming an NFL player at the age of six, he says. "But I didn't get drafted until I was 21 years old," he adds.
He remembers what it was like struggling when he spoke with a stutter in class. "I always wanted to speak clearly," he says. "I could hear kids in the background laughing and snickering, and I remembered what my parents told me. 'You go to school to learn, not to make friends.' "
Peterson played for four years as a Raider and won a state title before becoming the first sophomore at Georgia Southern University to win two National Championships in 1999 and 2000.
After he graduated college, Peterson was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the sixth round. He played for eight years, including the 2006 NFC Championship season and Super Bowl XLI, and ran for over 1,200 yards in his career.
Santa Fe High invited Peterson to come by and talk about his new autobiography "Don't Dis My Abilities" which talks about his success as a football player, as well as his current difficulty with a speech impediment and infant daughter's medical issues.
The visit was made possible by a donation the media center received from Dollar General, Media Specialist Georgeanna Moore, says. "In the fall, we received a phone call from Dollar General saying that we'd been selected as a literacy program they would like to donate to," Moore says. "So they came out and there were kids in the media center, teachers came in from the copy room. They handed me a check for $40,000.
"So since then, we call it literacy explosion," Moore says. "We are trying to do something to get the kids motivated to read and into studying."
A projected image of the cover of Peterson's book shines on one wall as he speaks. Students are leaning in listening to his stories and advice.
When he wants to make a point he repeats it.
"Start a habit," he says. "Start a habit. A habit is something that is hard to break.
Instead of going home and getting on your Smartphone or facebook, read a little bit."
Peterson knew he would need to speak in public one day, he says. So he continued to take speech classes. "In high school, I did interviews with the Gainesville Sun and TV 20, he says. "At Georgia Southern, I went from doing seven interviews my entire high school career to seven or eight interviews in a day with media such as ESPN.
Interviews intensified when Peterson spoke as a Chicago Bear player after games. "In one interview session there'd be 20 microphones, 20 pens and papers, 20 video cameras in front of you," he says.
"I knew one day I would need to express myself."
Peterson offers more advice to the students.
"It's okay to look up to a professional athlete," he says. "But find someone you can touch. Find someone who does it the right way, every day."
Go to school, make good grades, take the right classes and put yourself into the right position so when a university calls and offers you a scholarship, you're ready."
I am proud of myself for having perfect attendance from 2nd to 8th grade," Peterson says about why going to school is so important. "If you see it and listen to it in class, you'll learn it."
A student asks Peterson about how he wrote his book.
"It started off as a hobby," he says.
"Just put your ideas on paper. Don't worry about punctuation, just get your ideas on paper. A week here, put it away and come back to it. A month here, in between flights. Off season and then, one day I looked up and I had 30 pages.
"I wrote mostly on the computer, but sometimes when I didn't have a laptop, I would think of an idea and then put it on my iphone and when I got back to the computer, I would write it out."
Students asked Peterson about his education, family and current work. "I own a small trucking company, started a youth flag football team in Chicago and stay at home with four kids," he says.
"I graduated before my last collegiate football game," he says. "So if the NFL didn't want me, I still had a plan B which was a degree in recreation and a minor in sociology."
Students applauded at the end of Peterson's presentation and he visited with them and posed for photographs before the next class arrived.
Sophomore Austin White said he learned a lot from Peterson. White, 16, plays center on the Raider football team.
"Always keep a strong work ethic," he said about Peterson's advice. "School comes first, work hard and stay strong."

Sheriff commissions new safety patrol

SUZETTE COOK/Alachua County Today
Alachua County Sheriff Saide Darnell swears in 11 new safety patgrols officers at Alachua Learning Center.
ALACHUA – Two Alachua County Sheriff cars pulled up on the lawn near the basketball courts at Alachua Learning Center on April 29 but no one was in trouble. Sheriff Sadie Darnell climbed out of one vehicle while Deputy William Edward May got out of the second.
The whole school was gathered to celebrate the swearing in of 11 new safety patrol officers.
"It's actually a real honor," said 16-year-old Makayla Miller, 16. "I wasn't expecting to be the captain."
Darnell greeted the crowd and explained to the students what was happening and why it was important.
"Their badge and banner show they have the added responsibility to make sure that everyone is safe and orderly," Darnell said. "Don't run, don't hit, don't say bad words or be mean to each other. Become the leaders in our society that model the way and behave the right way."
Darnell explained to the students what was about to happen. "A pledge is a promise that they will do the things they say," Darnell said. "They're making a public promise. This is their job but they aren't going to get paid for it. But they will get a reward," she added "They get to go to Washington D.C. where they'll find out about our government and where the laws are made."
"See my badge," Darnell said and pointed to hers. "It's a star. It's visible representation of what they are doing.
"Pay attention to the words," she said. "And practice the words every day."
Darnell asked the students to raise their right hand and repeat after her.
"I promise to do my best to:
• Report for duty on time
• Perform my duties faithfully
• Strive to prevent accidents
• Always set a good example
• Obey my teachers and officers of the Patrol
• Report dangerous student practices
• Strive to earn the respect of fellow students.
I promise to abide by this pledge"
After they all said the pledge, each student was called up by name to receive a safety patrol badge sponsored by AAA.
Seventh grader Varshana Trudeau was excited about his new role. "I'll be helping the little kids and it will be a lot of responsibility," he said.
Darnell said the safety patrol has been in place for 37 years in Citrus, Levy and Alachua counties.
"This is one of the few opportunities that rewards children for good behavior," she said. "They are starting in their role models of good citizens, they look out for one another."
Krishna Rivera, administrative director at Alachua Learning Center said the patrol would be a good opportunity for students at the school.
"We've always been talking about it. Sheriff May and Triple A and Ms. Hayton helped make this happen."
The new student patrol members are Captain Makayla Miller, Lieutenant Lauren Ashton , Sergeant Abhay Edwards, Romero Alejandra, Jade Coyle, Jonette Gadomski, Laura Byers, Logan Tugman,, Nistha Kowlessar, Radhapriya Uzcategui and Varshana Trudeau.
Darnell said, "Our role is to keep our county safe. Their role is to keep the school safe and orderly."

Newberry open to help from GSC with Nations Park
- Details
- Published on Sunday, 18 May 2014 22:34
- Written by DAVID S. WISENER
- Hits: 1592
The Newberry City Commission acknowledged its dissatisfaction with the performance of Nations Park at a joint meeting with the Alachua County Commission last week.
"The first two years have been disappointing," Newberry Mayor Bill Conrad said. "We have not achieved the number of tournaments we would like. We are going to relook at all our options with our newly-elected commission."
Nations Park is an open invitational tournament baseball and softball park featuring 16 stadiums according to the park Web site. It was built in 2012.
Conrad said the City was grateful to the county for funding close to $7 million of the approximate $7.3 million to build the park.
"The County understood it would take time for the park to really get going," County Commission Chair Lee Pinkoson said. "We figured it would take about three years to ramp up, and we're in year two. We did make a major commitment, and it's eating up a lot of the bed tax, but I think it has all the potential in the world."
Conrad stated that Newberry was open to receiving as much help as it could get from the Gainesville Sports Commission in attracting events to the park for the summer.
"We would like to work to book tournaments with the GSC," Conrad said. "The City is open to managing the park itself or having an outside agency, like GSC, manage it. By 2015 we hope to have a new contract with either GSC or a new entity."
City Commissioner Jordan Marlowe added that the new commission would bring fresh insight concerning the park.
"Nations Park is a central part of Newberry, and we have some new ideas to work with," he said. "Everyone wants to see Nations Park succeed."
