OpenCms 8 is a major release that contains a greatly improved User Interface. The "Advanced Direct Edit" mode allows content managers to create page content by drag & drop. The new sitemap editor allows to create new pages and rearrange the navigation tree by drag & drop.
OpenCms 8 now offers a HTML-based multiple file upload dialog and extended support for creation of content for mobile devices. The new "Content Subscription Engine" allows to inform users when important documents have changed. The new publish dialog supports session based selection of content as well as add/remove of individual resources.
JPA support has been added to the database layer, so there's support for 10+ additional databases.
It is recommended to update existing OpenCms installations to the 8.0.0 release. OpenCms 8 is fully backward compatible to all prior 7.x versions. Templates and other OpenCms developed code from version 7.0 or 7.5 should work "out of the box" with version 8.
An easy to use update wizard is available, too.
General Features of OpenCms:
"Direct Edit" allows editing of content directly from a web page. Moreover, OpenCms offers editors for nearly every use case. The XML content Editor for structured content / pages generated automatically from a simple XML schema. OpenCms includes an editor with syntax highlighting functionality for all text based files (e.g. XML, HTML, JSP). A WYSIWYG editor for unstructured pages is available.
OpenCms offers an easy to use "Online / Offline" workflow, where all changes or new pages must be approved / published first before they become visible "Online".

Record Foreclosures in Massachusetts Spared Due to "Right-to-Cure" Law
Lenders foreclosed on 12,233 homes in Massachusetts in 2010, only 197 less than during the record-setting mortgage crisis of 2008. That record likely would have been topped if not for emergency legislation that passed in August of last year. An Act Relative To Mortgage Foreclosures, more commonly known as the "right-to-cure" law, extended the timeframe a Massachusetts homeowner has to pay back late mortgage payments to 150 days. Previously borrowers had 90 days to become current ...

Increase in Pedestrian Deaths in 2010 a Reversal from Trend
Amid lowered overall deaths from car accidents in 2010, a surprising preliminary report by the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) found a small increase in pedestrian fatalities for the first half of 2010. From 2006 to 2009 pedestrian deaths had decreased every year.
The report found no one, clear reason as to the sudden increase in pedestrian fatalities. However, the GHSA report speculated that increased distracted driving might have contributed to the startling rise in pedestrian deaths. Distracted ...

Roy Rogers TV Cowboy Legend This Week at LiveAuctionTalk.com
2011-05-13
With cap pistols and stick horses kids like me in the 1950s did what we could to imitate TV western heroes like Roy Rogers and Dale Evans. Why not? Roy was the "King of Cowboys" and Dale Evans was his superstar wife and sidekick.
Separating fact from fiction didn't mean a lot. As far as I could tell, this cowboy and cowgirl were the stuff of legend.
The plot in these early cowboy shows was simple too. Lots of optimism and comedy. Plus, the good guys always won. Western television shows were made for kids. Ten-gallon hats, fringed Western wear, hand-tooled ...
