Did You Know…?
Ohlone College remains the only community college in the United States named for an American Indian tribe—the Ohlone. Ohlone College's name honors the Ohlone People, also known as "the people of the West," who lived in the Fremont and Newark areas. The Ohlones were distinguished by peaceful pursuits, especially in agriculture, and they held profound reverence for the earth, believing it was theirs for living and not for the taking.
About the Ohlone College Catalog
Catalog information and Ohlone College requirements may change at any time. Information may change before a new catalog is produced and made available, and students must adhere to changes. It is the student's obligation to ascertain current rules, regulations, fees, and requirements. Students should consult a counselor for more information.
A printed version of the current Ohlone College Catalog can be purchased at the Ohlone College Bookstore. Printed versions of past and current Catalogs may be available for review in the Ohlone College Library or in the Counseling Department.
Revision of Regulations
Any regulations issued by the Administration of the College shall have the same force as those printed in this catalog and shall supercede, after notice has been made, any ruling on the same subject that may appear in the printed catalog or other official bulletins of the College.
Ohlone College exists to serve residents of the cities of Fremont, Newark, and the Bay Area. Every effort is made to provide the information and services needed to facilitate successful attendance at Ohlone College. Students are individually held responsible for information contained in this catalog and in the Class Schedule. Failure to read and comply with policies, regulations, and procedures contained therein will not exempt a student from whatever penalties the student may incur.

Catalog Rights Policy
Pursuant to California Code of Regulations §40401, a student pursuing an associate degree, a Certificate of Achievement, or a Certificate of Accomplishment may follow the general education and major requirements which are published in the catalog in effect at the time in which the student first began attendance at Ohlone College, or regulations current at the time the student files for and receives a degree or certificate. Exceptions to this policy are by the petition process. Students pursuing academic programs that require a separate application process are assigned to the catalog year that the student was accepted into the program.
A course in which a student receives a W is not considered to have been completed. The preceding catalog rights are subject to the following limitation: students who do not complete an Ohlone course(s) during a period of six consecutive terms, including Summer Term, forfeit the right to follow the degree or certificate requirements set forth in any catalog prior to their resumption of studies. For the purposes of this section, the effective period of a catalog extends from the beginning of a Fall Semester to the close of the subsequent Summer Term. Please note that Ohlone may require substitutions for required courses that have been discontinued.

My son's first Halloween was spent in the hospital, not wearing the adorable newborn costume I had bought for the bun in my oven, having expected him to arrive two weeks earlier. But since then, being a Halloween baby has been perfect for him, as he is a dress-up box-loving kid who sees the opportunity to wear a costume all day as a terrific birthday gift.
In Kindergarten, on his birthday, the whole school paraded through the city streets, and I'm sure he felt that the celebration was in his honor.
My sister, a February 14th baby, has never been in a relationship, yet always feels loved and adored on Valentine's Day as she is showered with birthday wishes and dinner invitations from friends and family. When she was a little girl, her party decor was all pink and hearts and glitter, just as she liked it.
And this weekend, my daughter will turn four on the 4th of July. While I'm personally not wild about the required red, white, and blue decor for her birthday, she feels a special kinship with all things patriotic.
She refers to the star-spangled banner as "my birthday flag". I think if I took her into an Old Navy this week, she might go crazy with excitement.
No one can come to her birthday party. So many friends are out of town that her long-awaited fiesta is looking more like a playdate. This happened last year as well, and I ultimately cancelled the party.
I started to think, we've always known that Christmas babies complain about sharing their special day with so many other distractions, but I've never thought that Labor Day children or Memorial Day kids may suffer, too.
What do you think? Is a holiday birthday extra awesome with it's own built-in theme or is it a year-after-year source of frustration?

Vancouver stock promoter Naeem Tyab has found himself at the centre of an international bribery scandal.
According to an agreed statement of facts signed last month by federal Crown prosecutors and Griffiths Energy International Inc., Tyab arranged for the Calgary-based company to pay $2 million to the wife of the Chadian ambassador for "consulting services."
The company also sold four million founder's shares to the ambassador's wife and her nominees for one-tenth of a cent each, for a total of $4,000.
The company has been recently selling its shares for $6 each, which means those four million shares are now worth $24 million.
On Jan. 25, the company pleaded guilty to violating the Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act and agreed to pay $10.35 million in fines.
Crown prosecutors are trying to recover the cash and shares on grounds that they are proceeds of crime.
The Globe and Mail and the National Post have written lengthy stories about the illicit payments, but have not provided any background information on Tyab, even though the agreed statement of facts indicates he played a central role in the scheme.
(It should be noted that Tyab left the company in July 2011, after the events in question. He was not a party to the agreed statement of facts and was not charged with any offence.)
Tyab, 45, has had a long but not-so-illustrious career in the Vancouver securities market. I have written extensively about him.
In 1996, Tyab's brother, Parvez Tyab, incorporated Foresight Capital Corp. and the following year registered it as a securities dealer in B.C.
Naeem Tyab was the firm's principal shareholder and corporate secretary. Naeem's close associate, Gilbert Wong, served as the firm's president and chief executive officer.
In December 1997, B.C. Securities Commission examiners found "significant deficiencies" in the firm's compliance procedures. In particular, they found it was selling risky exempt securities without determining the suitably of those investments for their clients.
Despite repeated warnings, the firm failed to address these deficiencies. Finally, in August 2001, the commission ordered the firm to stop selling exempt securities and ordered Wong to step down as the firm's compliance manager.
In December 2002, the firm – under pressure by BCSC officials – terminated its registration and went out of business, but that didn't end the matter.
In December 2004, BCSC enforcement staff issued a notice of hearing alleging that Foresight, Naeem Tyab and Wong failed to properly supervise client transactions and ensure that its employees complied with securities rules.
For reasons that were never explained, the commission dropped Tyab as a defendant and Wong was later cleared by a BCSC hearing panel on grounds that earlier compliance measures taken by commission staff had effectively dealt with the firm's breaches.
In August 2003, Tyab and Vancouver promoter Larry Kristof suffered the indignity of being accosted by Bellingham detectives while being parked in a rented van at the Bellis Fair Mall.
The detectives found $30,100 in U.S. currency in the vehicle. Tyab and Kristof – as well as Sabir Khan, a cousin of the Tyabs who was on the scene – gave conflicting stories about where the money came from.
The detectives brought in a drug-sniffing dog, which responded positively to the money. Police seized the cash, suspecting that it was the proceeds of drug trafficking. No actual drugs were found.
Khan – who had been arrested on two prior occasions on drug-related matters — later applied to get the money back. The Bellingham city examiner said the evidence established that it was drug money and refused to return it. Nobody was ever charged.
In 2006, Tyab and his brother Parvez, along with Gilbert Wong, reunited in a company called Mogul Energy International Inc., which was based in Seattle and traded on the OTC Bulletin Board in the United States.
Naeem served as Mogul's president, and he and Wong each owned 1.5 million shares. Parvez was the largest shareholder with nine million, or 26 per cent, of its shares.
This is where the narrative in the attempted bribery case picks up.
According to the agreed statement of facts, Naeem and Parvez Tyab — along with late Bay Street financier Brad Griffiths – had been pursuing oil concessions in Chad since mid-2008, first through Mogul and later through Griffiths Energy and Resources Inc.
(Griffiths was known as a smart, colourful and hard-drinking investment executive. During his 30 years on Bay Street, he held senior positions with CIBC, Gordon Capital and Canaccord Capital, but is best known as a co-founder of Toronto investment dealer Griffiths McBurney Partners.)
According to the agreed statement of facts, Griffiths and Naeem Tyab established contact in 2008 with Chad ambassador Mahamoud Adam Bechir, who arranged an introduction to Chad's minister of petroleum and energy.
In August 2009, the trio incorporated Griffiths Energy to pursue the concessions. Griffiths served as the company's chairman. The head office was initially located in Toronto and later moved to Calgary.
In August 2009, the company prepared a contract agreeing to pay $2 million to a private company, wholly owned by the ambassador, for consulting services.
However, Griffith Energy's outside counsel advised Tyab, who had signed the agreement on behalf of the company, that the ambassador was a government official and could not legally receive a benefit.
The following month, the company drew up a second agreement, with identical terms, except that the named consultant was a company wholly owned by the ambassador's wife, Nouracham Niam. Once again, Tyab signed the agreement on the company's behalf.
The company also sold the ambassador's wife 1.6 million seed shares of Griffiths Energy at one-tenth of a cent each, and another 2.4 million shares at the same price to people nominated by the ambassador's wife, who immediately took steps to transfer 1.6 million of the shares into her personal account.
The agreed statement of fact notes that the shares were among 40 million seed shares sold at one-tenth of a cent during the "founders' seed round."
The following month – in October 2009 – Tyab (on behalf of Griffiths Energy) and the minister of petroleum and energy (on behalf of the government of Chad) signed a memorandum of understanding.
In January 2011, the company finally signed a "production sharing contract" with the Chadian government. Terms included a $40 million US payment to the government.
Several days later, the company transferred $2 million into the company account of the ambassador's wife in Washington, D.C., according to the agreed statement of facts.
The Crown did not allege, and the company did not admit, that it actually realized any benefit as a result of the illicit payments.
In July 2011, Griffiths died in a boat accident in Muskoka Lake. That same month, Tyab left the company. New management discovered the payments in question and voluntarily reported the matter to the Crown, RCMP and U.S. law enforcement agencies. They also entered a guilty plea before charges were formally laid.
It was a costly process. The company spent $5 million on lawyers and accountants to investigate the matter. The company also withdrew its planned initial public offering, causing it to write off $1.8 million in attendant expenses. And it agreed to pay $10.35 million in fines.
As of November, Tyab was the second largest shareholder of TSX Venture Exchange-listed Hunter Oil & Gas Corp. (Brad Griffiths' estate is listed as the largest shareholder.)
Tyab is not an officer or director of the company, but in December, his brother Parvez became a director. The company's shares are trading at a mere two cents each.
Tyab is currently serving as chairman of Mogul Energy, whose fortunes have also waned. Despite a five-for-one share consolidation last year, its shares are now trading on the lowly "pink sheets" in the United States at one cent each.

Two Windows
Elaine Andres – Deakin University
Two windows
Each alike
Jewels of the face
See what they show.
Frames of the soul
Marbled glass, white sky
Blue gives into grey
The heavens give into
Clouds streaked with red.
Scolding the weak
And praising the brave
Judge with no words
For they've no lips
Just ebony pits to throw away pleas.
Observant pendulum
Left and right, back and forth
Or is it forth and back?
They are clear
They are cloudy
Watching but blind
The silent judges.
Elaine Andres is currently a second year student studying in Professional and Creative Writing. One day she hopes to publish her book but for now she slaves over a cold keyboard, trying to get her erratic thoughts down before they dissolve in her mind.

Bond for a man accused in a vicious assault on a 71-year-old woman has been set at $250,000.
Police say Jacob Lashun Lewis, 33, turned himself in last week, five months after the crime took place. Lewis faced a judge for the first time Monday.
On February 7, a man broke into the victim's home while she was watching TV late at night. The victim told police that she noticed someone peeking into her bedroom, so she grabbed her handgun and left the room.
Once in the hall, the victim said the attack happened too quickly for her to protect herself. The man allegedly burst into the house, threw her to the ground and knocked the gun out of her hand before she could fire it. After sexually assaulting her, police say the suspect threatened the woman with her own gun and forced her to hand over her wallet.
Police say the suspect was later identified as Lewis through the victim's description and surveillance from a nearby Walmart. Police also say that a man who was with Lewis at Walmart came forward when he saw his picture on the news and helped them piece together a timeline of what they believe happened that night.
The alleged crime happened on East Boulder Street in Colorado Springs.
11 News has also learned that this isn't the first time Jacob Lewis has been in serious trouble with the law. He pleaded guilty to having a sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl back in 1999. Lewis was 19 years old at the time.

- Dates: November 6 - November 17, 2013
- Website: Denver Film Festival
- The Denver Film Society's vision is to cultivate community and transform lives through film.
Starz Denver Film Festival
The Starz Denver Film Festival has been a rising star on the regional fest circuit for the past several years, with strong programming and resources that ensure a good time for visiting industry, journalists, and filmmakers. Organizers of the event are, quite simply, a very fun crowd, and they care about film and how it is presented at their festival, which takes place in early November. Venues are easily accessible in downtown Denver, though traveling between the event's main venues and hotels or parties may involve a short taxi ride. The Denver Film Society, which organizes the flagship film festival as well as other year-round events, opened its Starz FilmCenter in 2002, a seven-screen independent moviehouse at the Tivoli Student Union, which offers great venues for its yearly roster. With its liveliness and informal atmosphere (the festival has long hosted a late-night lounge that is a bacchanalia to be witnessed), DIFF has attracted an industry/press crowd that would be the envy of similar regional events. Though major sponsor Starz is still on board, as with any festival these days, it remains to be seen how well DIFF will be able to sustain its material hospitality, though its veteran team happily is still in place after a brief but tumultuous staff and board shake-up in 2009.

I'm cross posting this from another bedrest group (apologies if you've already seen it). I'm not on bedrest now, so you don't know me, but I was a year ago -- hospitalized and wishing I could go home. Anyway, looking for your help on a blog reflection/post I'm writing next week.
I was on bedrest a year ago today. I went on strict bedrest at 20 weeks, delivered at 23. I've started a blog looking back (my baby survived, wanted to give hope to others), and my post next week is going to be advice about best bedrest gifts to give.
Since my reason for bedrest was preterm labor, I tend to forget about other concerns (diet for gestational diabetes, etc.) that might play a part in "best bedrest gifts to give." So I thought I'd ask for your help.
1. What are the best bedrest gifts/help you were given while in the hospital?
2. What things were best as gifts / helped the most when you were out of the hospital?
So far things like food, play dates for my older children, telling me rather than asking me how you could help, etc. are all advice I intent to post.
Tell me what you've really appreciated or what you wish someone would do for you! Also, if there's something that reallydidn't help (for me it was scripture verses that "prove" everything will be alright if you just have faith enough -- but maybe that's just my own personal trigger), then let me know that too!
Thanks in advance, ladies!

T. S. Eliot gave us these lines:
I said to my soul, be still and wait without hope
For hope would be hope for the wrong thing; wait without love
For love would be love of the wrong thing;
there is yet faith But the faith and the love and the hope are all in the waiting.
Wait without thought, for you are not ready for thought:
So the darkness shall be the light, and the stillness the dancing.
This sounds like an invitation to mindfulness, an invitation to realize the radical transformation that comes from setting aside preconceived ideas, such as those bound up by hope. We may not be ready for thought unless we've trained our minds in mindfulness. Our love may be tainted by selfish attachment.
First order of business—be still. Ahhh. What a relief, just the possibility of getting to stillness, even if for a moment. And now, "wait without hope." Isn't that pessimistic? I venture to say, no, it is not pessimistic. Optimism is good, hope can get in the way.
In contradistinction to most of my friends who are rooting for the Giants, I "hope" the Patriots win the Super Bowl tomorrow, but of course this is an idle emotion. It informs me subjectively, but has no vector in the world. Wouldn't it be better to acknowledge my desire, to understand its context, and to wait without hope? Yes, I think so. Then I can watch the spectacle unfold with pleasure and equanimity. If I cling to hope, I make myself vulnerable to disappointment, anger, and frustration.
The weekend of 17-19 February, we will explore questions raised by Eliot and other great thinkers, ones that the Buddha has ventured to answer. We'll use poems like this one, metaphors, and science to move towards a direct, experiential understanding of what it means to live an awakened life. Continuing education credits (12) are available. You can register for the course here.

Johnson, Finnegan brawl in Texans' win
Monday, November 29, 2010
HOUSTON (AP) — Andre Johnson politely asked Cortland Finnegan to stop it. By the fourth quarter, Houston's star receiver had simply had it with the Tennessee cornerback's antagonistic antics.
Their feisty duel exploded into a full-blown fistfight late in the Texans' 20-0 win Sunday over the Titans. Both players were ejected, and the ugly incident could lead to further discipline from the NFL.
"He kept doing little things and I told him: 'Just because you're frustrated, you need to stop what you're doing,'" Johnson said. "I guess he thought it was funny."
The usually soft-spoken Johnson caught nine passes and a touchdown before walking off the field to a standing ovation.
"It's just a buildup of things over plays," Johnson said. "I just lost my cool."
Finnegan did not speak to reporters after the game.
"It's not good for the game, no," said Titans coach Jeff Fisher, co-chairman of the NFL's competition committee. "You don't want to see that stuff."
Arian Foster rushed for 143 yards and also caught nine passes for the Texans (5-6), who were on their way to their first shutout since 2004 when Johnson and Finnegan began slugging it out midway through the fourth quarter.
The two got into a milder shoving match on the previous play, with Johnson giving Finnegan a shot in the back before Finnegan took off his helmet and walked away.
Finnegan then set off the brawl by jabbing at Johnson's neck and face mask at the line of scrimmage. Johnson ripped off Finnegan's helmet and landed at least two punches to Finnegan's head and neck. The two spun each other, and Finnegan tore off Johnson's helmet before players and referees intervened.
"I awarded it to Andre on points," Texans owner Bob McNair joked.
This was Round 2 between Johnson and Finnegan. Last season, Johnson was fined $7,500 for taking Finnegan to the ground by the face mask during a scuffle after a play in a 34-31 Texans win.
Cornerback Glover Quin set a Houston record with three interceptions off Titans rookie quarterback Rusty Smith, who struggled in his first career start. Smith completed 17-of-31 passes for 138 yards and a 26.7 passer rating.

Forget kneading! For most breads, a few stretches and folds is all you need for amazing bread. Bread folding is a technique used during the rising process to strengthen the structure of dough, which gives the loaf a firmer shape. Here are some tips from MOTHER EARTH NEWS on how to get a perfectly folded loaf of bread:
Folding the dough:
1. Let dough sit, covered, for at least an hour.2. Take dough out of bowl and place on a flat, clean, floured or oiled surface.3. Take one side of dough, stretch and fold into center. 4. Repeat for each side of dough a few times.5. When finished, return dough to bowl and cover for at least another hour.
Bakers have a few different techniques for folding bread. Here are a few of our favorite bread-folding videos:

|Home from Vietnam: Exiting one struggle, to face others.
Not officially, that is. The grip of PTSD was well known to veterans. At the time, those returning from Vietnam were the latest in a long line of warriors to feel its effects.
How did society come to recognize the syndrome that we attempt to treat today?
Through the efforts of Vietnam veterans, who returned home from war to an ungrateful, ignorant, and/or overtly hostile society (yes, former "peace" activists and many news chroniclers; this means you).
In 1981, the Vietnam Veterans Leadership Program (VVLP) began its important work to counteract the pervasive myth of the whacked-out Vietnam vet. The VVLP dispatched its members to work at a grassroots level, under a national umbrella. But while this key organization reached out broadly to the public, others worked quietly in their own way. One of these "silent angels" was my old friend, "Brown Water Randy."
This is his story.
I met Randy in the early 1980's, shortly after PTSD was identified but before American society knew anything about the syndrome. This was in the days when a lot of men still hid their service medals under the bed, and didn't talk about Vietnam for fear of being branded a "baby killer." In the public's eye, every Vietnam vet was Rambo, who had a certain coolness, but also was very deeply disturbed and just a tad bit ridiculous.
Randy owned a shop near my house. He caught and sold his own fish. He was a friendly-gruff, in-your-face Vietnam veteran. Unlike many other vets I encountered, Randy was proud of his military service. He displayed his flags and patches on the wall beside his cash register. He also suffered from PTSD, and he didn't care who knew it. He laughed at the notion that he might "go Rambo" at a moment's notice, but he openly talked about personal problems stemming from post-traumatic stress. "It's something I have," he said. "It's nothing to be ashamed of."
When I met Randy, I was editor of a small town weekly newspaper in Dixon, California. Randy knew I had served briefly in the Women's Army Corps, and that my then-boyfriend was a closeted Vietnam vet. So Randy thought I might be interested in hearing – and writing – about his newly formed outreach group for vets with PTSD.
Randy was not the only one working to help his fellows. At the time, the VVLP was just getting off the ground. Its founders, many of whom went on to become national leaders in their own right, aimed to teach the public that the overwhelming majority of Vietnam veterans were well-integrated, successful men who were proud to have served their country.
But Randy had a different vision. He wanted to help the vets who were not so well integrated. He wanted to raise awareness of PTSD. He also wanted to offer fellowship and support to others who struggled with trauma-induced problems.
NEXT: Brown Water Randy and LZ Woodland

It does NOT sound like a miscarriage. You should call your doctor if it's heavy bleeding and if you are cramping. If it's light and no cramps it's normal. I hjad the same thing the day after I tested and my baby (and pregnancy) were totally healthty. In fact, I bled every month for about 6 months during that pregnancy. But it was never heavy...and never accompanied by cramping. Do not panic about a miscarriage until you KNOW that's what is happening. You are probably fine ;) good luck!posted 02/27/2013 by kericksen
Call your OB right now, NOT your regular doctor. It sounds like a miscarriage, but there is a possibility that there is still an embryo in there or that the miscarriage was incomplete. They will do an ultrasound to check and will let you know what is going on.posted 02/27/2013 by Czerenity

A Brief History of Fake Blood
Believe it or not, when a head gets lopped off in a horror movie, what spurts out is not real blood. Oh, no. It is a very clever invention known as 'fake blood', and it has been used in horror films since the very beginning (even though real blood is much cheaper and available in abundance). This article from Slate looks at the history of fake blood, also known as Kensington Gore.
The Definitive Foreign Language Horror Films: 20-11
Sound on Sight continues their top 50 countdown of foreign-language horror films. Who will be at 20? Who will be at 11, or 17, for that matter? There's only one way to find out.
Dick Smith – 1922- 2014
This week saw the loss of another genre great. Dick Smith wasn't nicknamed "The Godfather of Make-Up" for nothing. His work inspired some of the greatest special effects and make-up artists working in the field today. This article from MAD – Maynard Art and Design offers a more personal reflection of the legendary make-up artist.
The 20 Best Horror Films Based On Folk Tales Around The World
Folktales have a lot to answer for, including these 20 horror films as compiled and discussed by Taste of Cinema.
Toys of Terror #16.5: San Diego Comic Con Edition
Fangoria's Toys of Terror feature continues, this week focusing on the toys and figures that appeared at last week's San Diego Comic Con, including NECA's 7" Axehead Kaiju (from Pacific Rim), and a rather amazing 7" Ellen Ripley figure (looks just like Sigourney, too) in Aliens battle mode.

vel list
I have reverted your changes. With all due respect enzsure that before you alter anything protected you should read and observe the comments on the talk pages namely
Talk:Vulnerable Extensions List
Jump to: navigation, search
All questions should be addressed to the vel @ joomla.org email address (without the spaces)
Only known users to edit anything previously agreed items on this page.
In response to youre previous message - not sure why you added on my talk page but still Beyond the cut and paste of previous editors comments. Please ask Chris Davenport for the history on this document, and if you have any concerns or questions contact the vel team as detailed to do on the vel talk page.
- I posted on your talk page, because I have no way of knowing if you are watching my talk page for replies without certain installed Mediawiki extensions. Will PM you and Phil on the forum. Tom Hutchison (talk) 16:04, 22 October 2012 (CDT)
Received no PM or email to the vel list from you. Your rechanges reversed. --Mandville (talk) 12:50, 27 October 2012 (CDT)
- Phil already reverted the mis-spelling, the categorisation of the page stands as is and will. Since it was for enhancement suggestions, I didn't realise the clock was ticking. I have been trying to research everything, because I wanted to address all concerns with solutions. At this point, I am probably just wasting my time and effort. Tom Hutchison (talk) 14:27, 27 October 2012 (CDT)
Security checklist 7
in reference to history entry for the checklist 7, 16:44, 13 October 2012 - (Removed protection from "Security Checklist/You have been hacked or defaced": hmm, don't know why this was protected, error - reset to all edit)
http://docs.joomla.org/Security_Checklist/You_have_been_hacked_or_defaced and history http://docs.joomla.org/index.php?title=Security_Checklist/You_have_been_hacked_or_defaced&action=history
The checklist was protected as incorrect and sometimes potentially damaging edits were being made mainly to the Chmod and Cron section shell scripts of the page.
This goes back to a few pages are protected for a reason. The reason in this case for the safety of the end users site. While I would suggest this page remain protected from regular editing for reasons outlined above, Though I would feel better if the page was again protected, I will let it stay as unprotected for now unless another incident of changing or modifying the shell scripts occurs which would potentially damage or delete someones site if the modified script(s) are used before the changes can be rolled back.
- Protected again to keep the content of the page from being changed. I also added the Permissions page into the series. Tom Hutchison (talk) 07:11, 29 October 2012 (CDT)
Please revert the title of the page as was. It is universally known as checklist 7.
It was and is part of the security checklists 1-6 Please also reneable full protection of the document to those previously listed - namely PhilD, myself and Lafrance. This is another previously agreed protected, nominated document.
--Mandville (talk) 17:13, 3 November 2012 (CDT)
- Protection was enabled days ago, Security Checklist 7 can still be referenced, it now redirects to the page. You need to understand, documentation is changing, improving, becoming more organized for Joomla! users. Nothing is ever set in stone. Even Joomla! improves and new releases are now being done at a set pace. Tom Hutchison (talk) 17:24, 3 November 2012 (CDT)

Tom the page looks good Thanks
Barnstar and a few bits and bobs
Thankyou very much for the barnstar!! One thing I've noticed whilst doing the help screens is that when you press the help buttons in Joomla 2.5 is that there are [edit] links next to each section. But these links take you to a blank page - so is there any way we can drop the edit buttons?
Also I noticed one of the help buttons earlier today took you to the Joomla 1.6 help page instead of the 2.5 (when pressed in Joomla 2.5). It was one of the menu items - but typically as I'm writing this I've completely forgotten which - not sure how easy it will be to check up on this!
Thanks again, George
- No problem! You deserved one, you've done a lot of work on the 2.5 Help Screens and other articles over the past week!
- The link itself is nulled out by the proxy. The [edit] link used to be regex'd out but since the MW 1.16 to 1.19 update, something must have changed in 1.19. We are looking at that. Another thought was to use __NOSECTIONEDIT__ to remove the [edit] links from the page. Makes it harder to update them, but once the Help screen is done it should not be necessary to update them. At least not a regular task, just a bug fix or small tweak here and there.
- Was the link in the pop-up window's address bar something like ...help.joomla.org/proxy/index.php?option=com_help&keyref=Help16 or just the page contained information of a 1.6 Help Screen? The first would be a bug, second is a possibility. The next version released Help screens are dumped into the new namespace and content of page links are changed to reflect the new namespace for the new release. I know there are a couple of 1.7 Help screens using pure transclusion to show the 1.6, something like:
- {{:Help16:The_name_of the_1.6_HelpScreen}} is the only content so it may have just been put into the 2.5 screen.
- Let me know if you can remember if it was content or address and I'll see if I can track it down.
- --Thanks again! Tom Hutchison (talk) 20:42, 9 February 2013 (CST)
- Found another link issue whilst trying to find that Joomla 1.6 link:
- External URL page - Page takes you to: http://help.joomla.org/proxy/index.php?option=com_help&keyref=Help25:Menus_Menu_Item_Manager_Edit instead of the external URL page http://docs.joomla.org/Help25:Menus_Menu_Item_External_Url
- Cheers for the information!
- --Wilsonge (talk) 02:38, 10 February 2013 (CST)
- Thanks George! I knew this problem existed in Joomla! 3, but didn't have a chance to check 2.5. Assumed it did. It actually is everything under, System Links in Menu selection. The other two Help Screen pages are 'red links' still, but they will have the same issue. I filed a tracker here: Tracker 30091.
- I also had to filed another tracker for Module Manager - Edit - (Blank page):
- Select Site -> Control Panel (Landing page when first logging on to administration)
- Select Help -> Joomla Help Click link in left sidebar: 'Module Manager - Edit'
- View a blank page, ref to source on docs.joomla.org which does not exist.
- I also had to filed another tracker for Module Manager - Edit - (Blank page):
- This is actually causing a 404 error, need to address this right away as it is a "Top 10" requested Help Screen page for all Help Screens. Some of the issues in 3.0 are 2.5 used a modal window and now 3.0 has an actual page. These might not be corrected till the release of 2.5.10. I'll look into it.

Module and Template Development
Hi, I saw your post on my discussion page regarding the tutorials. It has always been the intention to move these articles out into the global namespace. The primary reason the tutorials currently live in my user namespace is three-fold:
1. I didn't want the code in the articles to diverge from the code in the repository as I have seen happen numerous times in other tutorials. People have a habit of updating tutorial pages and not the source code packages which ultimately create a lot of confusion. 2. I wanted to test them out for a while to rule out bugs. (I consider this phase to be completed) 3. Since the release of 2.5 I have been meaning to find the time to remove a bit of deprecated code to make it fully "2.5" compliant.
As I have not had time to perform the last step yet, they have remained in my user namespace. I also started on a basic module and template tutorial that I have not had the time to finish.
That being said, I would be happy to help maintain the tutorial code for developers as far as my time allows and this may also help me jump-start my own effort in this area. I have previously suggested adding a "joomla-tutorials" project under the "joomla" organization in GitHub but regardless of how this is deployed I think it would be a very healthy approach to the management of tutorial code.
Rvsjoen (talk) 14:31, 11 February 2013 (CST)
- That's great Rvsjoen! I didn't even know you had a MVC tutorial in your user pages. I'm trying to pull together the docs, improve them and get the devs involved again. If we move them, I will mark them as incomplete so they can be checked against code on pages vs. code in zips. Something I agree with, they need to be the same and maintained as such. This is why there is interest in moving it all to GitHub. We should maintain a version specific structure. 2.5 is easy and 1.6 and 1.7 should be dropped. 3.0 is already out, but I would like to see it as 3.x because eventually it will become a LTS version 3.5. Git will also allow to see the progression of code change too. I am still working to pull this all together. Thanks so much for your interest!
- --- Tom Hutchison (talk) 16:15, 11 February 2013 (CST)
- The MVC tutorial in my user pages is a complete update/rewrite of the original 1.7 tutorial mostly created by Christophe, it has at some point also been reviewed by several people in the JBS. It is currently 100% up to date with the code in the zip packages as far as I know.
- Also I noticed that a joomla/jdoc-examples repository has been created for this purpose on GitHub. I do not know if these two "projects" are related but if they are I would encourage whoever responsible to put a folder structure in place for storing more than just tutorials. For example something like...
- Tutorials
- Component
- Module
- Plugin
- System plugin
- User plugin
- Etc..
- Library
- Template
- Extensions
- Example extension 1
- Example extension 2
- Etc...
- Code snippets
- Code snippet 1
- Code snippet 2
- Etc..
- Tutorials
- I submitted a pull request on GitHub which implements this idea, so i'll just wait and see whether it's pulled or not. Pull Request #1

NASHVILLE - The publicist for Randy Travis says the country music singer has suffered a stroke in a Texas hospital.
Publicist Kirt Webster said Wednesday night that the 54-year-old Travis suffered the stroke while he was being treated for congestive heart failure because of a viral illness.
Webster said Travis was undergoing surgery Wednesday night to relieve pressure on his brain. He has been in critical condition.
Doctors said earlier Wednesday that Travis was in good health until three weeks before he was hospitalized, when he contracted a viral upper respiratory infection.
That information was released via video by physicians William Gray and Michael Mack of the Baylor Health Care System. Before Travis suffered the stroke, Mack said the singer's condition had stabilized "and he has shown signs of improvement."
REPORT: Travis' heart trouble could be life-threatening

The Grammy winner, best known for his hits Forever and Ever, Amen and Three Wooden Crosses, was admitted to a Texas hospital Sunday with viral cardiomyopathy, a condition that can lead to heart failure. The cardiomyopathy caused his heart to weaken and enlarge, so it could not pump properly. To assist his heart function, Travis received an IMPELLA peripheral left ventricular assist device, according to a statement released by his publicist, Kirt Webster.
On Monday, Travis' sister-in-law Teresa Trawick told People.com that his family has a history of heart problems. "(His mother) passed away at an early age with her heart, so it is like these boys are following right in their footsteps," she said.
Travis, who pleaded guilty to a charge of driving while intoxicated in Texas earlier this year, was hospitalized in 2012 after a fight near a church in Plano, Texas.

Green-Roofed CA Academy of Sciences Crowned the World's Largest Double LEED Platinum Building
Posted By Tafline Laylin On September 27, 2011 @ 2:20 pm In Architecture,Green Roof,News | No Comments
Today the California Academy of Sciences [2] achieved a groundbreaking feat of sustainable design as the U.S. Green Building Council [3] presented it with its second LEED Platinum certification [4], making it America's first double platinum museum, and the world's largest double platinum building! The green-roofed museum designed by Renzo Piano [5] continues to perform to the highest sustainable standards three years after it received its first LEED rating [6]. Find out more about what makes this building so remarkably green right after the jump!
The devastating 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in California severely damaged the original 158 year old academy building in Golden Gate Park, giving the organization a chance to start over. So they took their time (a full ten years) to create a super energy-efficient green-roofed building [8] that includes an aquarium, a planetarium, a natural history museum, as well as a world-class research and education program. The first LEED Platinum rating [9] was awarded based on the building's superior design and construction, but the latest certification under the USGBC's "Existing Buildings: Operation & Maintenance" category acknowledges the incredible strides taken to ensure that every aspect of the museum's day-to-day operations are as earth-friendly as possible.
Of the 80 points available, the Academy received an unprecedented 82. This is for achieving the very best marks in sustainable sites, water efficiency, energy use and atmosphere, materials and resources, indoor environmental quality, and innovation in the design process. Here are a few specific highlights: 100% of the building's computers are energy star-rated [10] and 100% of the paper used in the building is composed of post-consumer recycled content [11]. Up to 65% of the Academy's waste is recycled or composted (including the waste of the 5 million visitors who have walked the lush corridors to date), and 70% of the staff use alternative transportation to get to work. The Academy uses 32% less water than the average building, while 100% of the roof and 80% of the surrounding landscape consists of indigenous vegetation [12]. Finally, the Academy continues to share their learning and love of nature with ongoing education programs. This is definitely a crowning achievement that the rest of the world can look to for inspiration.

Billings Forge was showing off Thursday evening. The multi-faceted cooperative community, that includes job-training, restaurants, education, art, theater, Farmers Market, bakery, garden and housing, had good reason to -- it has been another successful year.
"I love this event and what Billings Forge has done is awesome," said Hartford businessman and community leader John Motley, who did dual duty as a diner and the auctioneer at the event. "It's wonderful."
And was it my imagination or did the former Travelers-exec-turned-non-profit p.r. guy seem even more personable than usual.
Ah yes, the Hartford mayoral primary was earlier in the week and guess whose candidate was a winner?
"I am very happy about Mayor Segarra," said Motley, referring to the Democratic incumbent Pedro Segarra's primary win on Tuesday.
Billings Forge executive director Cary Wheaton was happy, too. It was a dry evening!
"The first two years we had this it was pouring rain," she said as she welcomed more than 300 guests to the dinner held in a tent on the Billings Forge lawn. "It's cool but at least it's dry."
Several guests admitted the three types of weather in one day, heat, showers and then fall-like chill, was a bit much but then the weather this summer has been less-than-routine this year.
"I wish I had brought a jacket," said a goose-bumped Sarah Myers of West Hartford, who admitted to shivers as the temperature dropped and the wind picked up after 5 p.m. "But when I left this morning it felt like it was 80 degrees out. I don't want summer to end."
As all enjoyed the fresh food and camaraderie, there were others, who said the time for change has arrived again.
"I am ready for the heat to end," quipped Jim Morgan, as wife Molly Reynolds relished duck pretty as a picture appetizers served at the cocktail hour before the family style dinner began. "I am ready for cool."

Mr. Maryles shpuld become familar with Israeli Hebrew usage. Hilonim are by definition non-religious. Masortim ar by definition traditional, meaning they pick and choose what mitzvot to observe.
Having thus pointed out, the author's thesis crumbles away.
Comment by Ira L. Jacobson — October 14, 2013 @ 2:00 PM
"Lapid should not be judged by a few offhand comments spoken in angry response to being constantly attacked as a Torah hater. He should be judged by what his stated goals are."
Men certainly should not be judged by their stated goals (their words). Men should be judged by their actions (especially their habitual actions overtime.) By this measure, Mr Lapid is certainly shown to be an opportunist using the need to address unsustainable dependency to undermine those committed to rigorous Torah-observance. Mr. Lapid habitually strives to whip up maximum hostility and fear while intentionally designing his"reforms" to make any transition as difficult and disrupting as possible. Israel needs a statesman to address this issue unfortunately the job has been given to Mr. Lapid.
Comment by Kenneth Mathews — October 14, 2013 @ 11:23 PM
Apparently Mr Maryles does not know Lapid's track record. He has been vilifying, slandering any & all orthodox group & rabbis for many years. Even before deciding to go from journalist to politics. He was brought up hating religious Jews by his late father. Lapid blamed orthodox Jews for every problem in the state, twisted misquoted fabricated statistics to "prove" that orthodox Jews are a cancerous parasite. e.g. "all hhareidim avoid the draft, while all hhilonim join the army". The truth being that many hhareidim do indeed serve & 25% of hhilonim avoid the draft but nobody says peep about that. Also hid that fact that a large percentage of hhareidim do alternative public/state service that no or almost hhilonim are willing to do. Also he hid the fact that the army is incapable of absorbing a full hhareidi draft. He openly stated when he announced his intention to enter politics that he planned to take apart the orthodox world.

Cook + Fox LEED Platinum Office Wins AIA New York Interiors Merit Award
Posted By Will Giron On May 4, 2011 @ 10:10 am In Architecture | No Comments
Cook + Fox [1] is well known for their commitment to environmental sustainability and profound passion for design excellence. We're huge fans of their work, especially One Bryant Park [2], one of our favorite green buildings in New York City. Thanks to their superior work, Cook + Fox [3] recently won a 2011 Interiors Merit Award from AIA New York for their new offices at 641 6th Avenue. The new work environment, which received LEED-CI Platinum, is a refreshing space more aligned with the firm's drive for sustainability.
The new Cook+Fox office space at 641 6th ave is an spacious studio with an open floor plan, 14-foot ceilings, and original turn of the century aesthetics. The space had originally served as a late 19th century department store, the former Simpson, Crawford, Simpson [4], located in the Ladies' Mile Historic District.
The new office is now located in a the building's penthouse, which the firm expanded with a new layout. Daylight [5] fills the entire office, with sun beaming in from seven directions, allowing the entire space to depend predominantly on natural light — and gives the architects beautiful views of the New York skyline. The natural light [5] is supplemented by metal-halide and fluorescent fixtures controlled with dimmers.
To improve the interior environment, the ventilation system was upgraded "with a variable-frequency drive and additional filtration." Low VOC paint and finishes were also used and light warm colors were chosen for a more aesthetically pleasing and relaxing design. Additional heating and cooling reconfigurations were done to provide multiple zoned controls.
In an effort to also save on water consumption, waterless urinals were installed in the men's restroom, dual-flush toilets in the women's restroom, and the faucets are sensor-activated. Together, this now reduces water consumption by over 40 percent.
The most impressive green feature of the new Cook+Fox [3] office however, is the 3600 square foot planted rooftop garden that surrounds the outside of the office. According to the firm, the garden is visible from every single workspace in the office. The roof is planted with drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance sedum species that will help the green roof reduce stormwater runoff and decrease the building's cooling consumption.
The Cook + Fox [3] offices is one of the first projects in New York State to have been certified LEED-CI platinum from the US Green Building Council. With the gorgeous green roof and relaxing office space, one couldn't really ask for a better place to work!

Fighting or, erm, Flirting..?
I have a 125L community tank, in which, amongst others, live 4 mollies. 2 silver, one black and one black balloon (bought as fry before i knew about the issues with balloon fish) and until now they have been a happy little group, hanging around together and not attacking anything or being attacked by the other fish.
Now things have changed a bit, the two silver ones have started circling each other, one sometimes going backwards, and occasionally nipping one another. They do not hurt each other doing this (well haven't yet) but the (female) kribs in with them seem interested in them all of a sudden.
I have no idea if they are male or female, or even how to tell, so i'd appreciate some advice as to what they are up to? Is it love or war?
Cheers folks!
It sounds like a game of tag and the other fish are just wanting in on the game. As long as you don't see fins coming up missing or fish starting to hide often then there should not be any problem with it. If you start seeing fins missing and fish that seem to hide whenever another one is out on the "prowl" then you might want to think about seperating them as it might be a sign of adult personalities coming out and some serious aggression starting.
Thanks! It all seems to be non threatening, and the Mollies are definitely the lowest in the pecking order of the tank, so i wouldn't expect there to be much aggression starting there. Guess they were just playing!
It wouldn't surprise me if the Kribs (Betty and Doris) wanted to get in on the playing, they have always been friendly little fish; they even used to defend a school of guppies that were (briefly, begginers error of trusting the LFS and not doing research...) in with them and the angels. The Angels would go over and start to pick on the guppies and the Kribs would then swim up and chase the angels away. I didn't think that fish would do that for other species, but it just goes to show that they'll always surprise you!
You're right Julie, i think a lot of my mates who find my, well we'll avoid the word "obsession" and use "interest," in fish a little confusing think that my tank is just a glorified ornament. I never seem to be able to get across just how cool the whole interaction betweeen the fish is, and how they all have their own characters. I guess i just kinda bubble about it!
