[stats domain="chron" sport="cfb" team="83″]
AUSTIN – At the south end of a gargantuan stadium paid for in part by his success, Mack Brown's larger-than-life image was projected on a 55-foot-tall screen early Saturday night. In a recorded video, he asked fans to consider giving to charity.
The crowd booed him.
By the end of a night in which the Longhorns slogged their way through a 44-23 loss to No. 25 Mississippi, the discontent was undeniable. In their early mass exodus from a stadium filled with reminders of past glory, thousands of fans made it clear they could no longer stomach its gloom.
And for Brown, UT athletic director DeLoss Dodds and the rest of the embattled department, the loss intensified the speculation that change might be on the way.
"I don't know why we're playing inconsistent," Brown said.
After a week in which the school president and major boosters tried to deflate criticism of Brown and Dodds denied a report he's about to step down, the Longhorns (1-2) took a 23-14 lead in the second quarter and looked like they might be able to quiet the rumors.
But a defense playing its first game under new coordinator Greg Robinson reverted to form. Quarterback Case McCoy – starting in place of the injured David Ash – faltered after a promising first half.
Texas backslides
And the Longhorns, as per their custom throughout the past four years, couldn't make a good thing last.
The Rebels (3-0) scored touchdowns on both of their first two drives of the third quarter, then blew the game open when Jeff Scott scored on a 73-yard punt return late in the third quarter.
For the second week in a row, the Longhorns looked mystified when it came to defending a simple zone-read play, which Scott and quarterback Bo Wallace repeatedly utilized to torch UT.
"Really, they were running the same play over and over again," UT linebacker Jordan Hicks said. "It's pretty disappointing."
Wallace completed 17 of 25 passes for 177 yards and rushed for 57 yards. Scott finished with 164 yards on 19 carries.
McCoy, making the seventh start of his career and his first since December, completed 11 of his first 13 passes but wasn't as effective after halftime.
The Longhorns punted on their first four drives of the second half, and on the fifth one McCoy fumbled the ball away after tailback Malcolm Brown ran into his arm.
Brown's lament
"We were inept on offense in the second half," Brown said.
UT hasn't endured two losses in its first three games of a season since 1998, Brown's first in Austin. After Saturday's game, he said he kicked cameras out of the locker room and told his players they have to look at next week's Big 12 opener against Kansas State as a chance to "start over."
"We can get all this right by winning the Big 12 championship," Brown said. "And that's what we've got to do."
For most of his first decade with the Longhorns, his teams usually finished September with loftier expectations than that. But on a night it was clear times in Austin have changed, Brown said goals of a conference title will have to suffice.
"That's all we've got left," Brown said.

An NFL draft light on great quarterbacks is good news for college football fans: The 2013 season is loaded with talented and accomplished players at the most important position in sports. So throughout the rest of the summer, we're counting down the top 10 quarterbacks in college football, one per week until the season kicks off. These rankings are based on college ability, not necessarily NFL potential. This week, Northern Illinois senior Jordan Lynch checks in at No. 8.
The countdown:
9. David Fales, San Jose State
8. Jordan Lynch, Northern Illinois
* * *
Jordan Lynch will not win the Heisman Trophy in December. This is neither a profound statement nor a negative response to the Northern Illinois athletic department's active campaign on behalf of its star quarterback. Barring some new level of statistical success, it's simply reality, and everyone knows this. It also doesn't matter: Lynch, Northern Illinois and the MAC should fight for all the attention they can get, despite the long odds.
In a college football world full of arms races and 24/7 hype, the unpretentious, entertaining Mid-American Conference is always worth taking a moment to celebrate. So here we celebrate its best player.
Most of the time Lynch took the field last year, he was the best player on either side of the ball. He has emerged as the exception on a field of mostly two- and three-star recruits who lived up to their billing -- good, competent players who may lack the combination of size, speed and overall athletic ability that populate the rosters of the game's best teams. Lynch was once a peer, but through a combination of his talent and the Huskies' system, he's leapt past them into another stratosphere where he can be recognized for his individual talent on the national level. Few MAC players really ever get to that point. Lynch is one of them, Kent State all-purpose back Dri Archer another. Guys like Buffalo linebacker Khalil Mack are worth putting in that conversation too. But historically speaking, there aren't many Randy Mosses or Ben Roethlisbergers or, at NIU, Michael Turners.
A sport made up of 18- to -23-year-olds is ripe for domination by a select few; the gap between strong and weak is more vast than the professional level, meaning the dominance of a top athlete -- say Reggie Bush or LaVar Arrington or Jadeveon Clowney or Johnny Manziel or Vince Young -- is so easy to identify and often stupefying to watch. The problem, of course, with evaluating a player like Lynch and quantifying his success is that he operates on a different plane than Manziel and Clowney. Those guys are embarrassing the rest of the SEC and making it look easy. They will go down as two of the most dominant college football players ever.
Lynch will not, because he is playing with MAC players against MAC players. When he's played with those MAC players against name opponents, he has fallen flat, going 6-for-16 for 54 yards in his debut as starter (he did run for 119 yards), a one-point loss to Iowa, and finishing with 176 passing yards and a season-low 44 rushing yards against Florida State in the Orange Bowl. He's not considered much of a pro prospect either.
"He's terrible," Florida State linebacker Vince Williams said, in response to pregame comments from Lynch about how the Seminoles hadn't seen an offense like the Huskies. "I can't believe they tried us like that. They tried our life, man. ... He's not good at all."
But then, this is obviously not true either.

We are in the midst of a golden era of MAC football. The conference has rattled the Big Ten's cage with some upsets, and it has garnered favor thanks to its thrilling shootouts on those lowly Tuesdays and Wednesdays in November that had the audacity to be absent of football in the past. There is no dominant team, like Marshall around the turn of the century, but Northern Illinois currently carries the flag, and Lynch is the king of MACtion, even if he's never truly been involved in an example of MACtion at its finest*. In one midweek game last season, he threw for 407 yards and three touchdowns and ran for 162 yards in a 31-24 win over Toledo, which has to count for something.
*For reference, the true introduction to MACtion came when Northern Illinois beat Toledo 63-60 on a Tuesday in 2011. Lynch watched from the bench as his productive predecessor, Chandler Harnish, threw for 265 yards and six touchdowns and ran for 133 yards. Harnish finished that season with 3,216 yards and 28 touchdowns passing and 1,379 yards and 11 touchdowns rushing, meaning he wasn't all that different from Lynch, just not nearly as nationally recognizable.
Lynch is a prolific passer and an even better runner. He can obliterate defensive backs like a fullback:
And if you appreciate versatility, he can even punt 63 yards:
For the season, his first as starter, he shattered records and led Northern Illinois to the first BCS appearance by any MAC team. In 14 games, he became the first FBS player to run for more than 1,500 yards and pass for more than 3,000 yards; he also set records for rushing yards and 100-yard rushing games by a quarterback. He led the conference in both passing and rushing. These are staggering numbers, on any level, against any opponent.
All of which begs the question: What does it mean to be the best player in the MAC, especially without the expected NFL future of a guy like Roethlisberger or Byron Leftwich?
Say Lynch replaced Jeff Driskel -- at this point, a middle-of-the-road SEC quarterback -- as the starter at Florida. What would he do against Florida State, while playing with good SEC teammates? Florida's defense carried it to an 11-2 record. Would Lynch have helped the Gators do even better? Would they have done worse?
It's an elusive hypothetical, one we can't begin to answer unless a mid-major star like Lynch takes advantage of the fifth-year transfer rule and tries to move up from the MAC or the Sun Belt to the Big Ten or the SEC. Instead of Lynch, it's head coach Dave Doeren who will ride the success to a bigger job at N.C. State. All of those schools overlooked Lynch as a recruit, though, and he will stay in the MAC, continuing to quarterback a Huskies team that got to a BCS bowl before Doeren's new team in Raleigh did.
Argue all you want about whether Northern Illinois deserved an Orange Bowl bid, and whether Lynch deserved to be in the Heisman conversation, but within the parameters of an absurd system Lynch and the Huskies did what they had to do to get there. Most players can't say that, but then again most players aren't as good as Lynch.
* * *
In 1993, running back LeShon Johnson ran for 1,976 yards and 12 touchdowns. He did that on a 4-7 Northern Illinois team playing its first of three seasons in the Big West -- they left the MAC and became independent in 1986, only to rejoin in 1997 -- which makes it even more remarkable that he finished sixth in the Heisman voting, one spot ahead of Lynch's seventh place.
Twenty years later, Lynch has many advantages that Johnson didn't: People know his name after one big season already; he led Northern Illinois to an 12-2 record and an Orange Bowl bid; a segment of the population has fallen in love with MACtion; Northern Illinois frequently appears on television.
The MAC is and will always remain a second-tier conference in the FBS power structure, one in which coaches like Doeren will easily leave an Orange Bowl team for an ACC program with one double-digit win season in its history (after Jerry Kill left for Minnesota two years earlier). But the brand is stronger and more stable than ever thanks to its relatively untouched status during realignment and the rise of MACtion. This year, Northern Illinois plays Ball State and Toledo on back-to-back Wednesdays in November. Yes, you should set your DVR, and no, I'm not kidding. (You never know when you'll need an entertaining football fix in May.) They also play winnable road games at Iowa and Purdue in September, and while beating bottom-tier Big Ten teams wouldn't necessarily be a glamorous accomplishment, it's always a notable one for a league that's often seen as the Midwest's Triple-A to the major leagues.
Really, it doesn't matter much how Lynch compares to the rest of college football. While interesting to ponder, we don't need to linger on hypotheticals about Lynch in a Florida uniform. He's ranked eighth here among college quarterbacks. Maybe he should be higher. Maybe he should be lower. Whatever. All we know for sure is that Lynch plays fun football in a fun league, and he does it better than almost anyone ever has. In fact, nobody ever did what Lynch did last year as a dual threat. That should be more than enough to satisfy the college football observer.
MAC or not, it's hard not to be intrigued by the question of what comes next. Lynch won't win the Heisman, but if he repeats his individual performance of last year and gets to New York for the ceremony, don't say he's not deserving.

- Evaluation
- Search engine library with sample indexer and search page rather than fully-functional application. Stores indices in Berkeley DB files with JSON interfaces. Allows custom-designed indices, including categories (exact match) to fulfill "programmable keywords" requirement. Each document index on each document source is a single write-once file collection (BDB and JSON) in a unique directory. Rerunning the indexer creates a new directory, obsoleting the old directory if all the old documents are included. The old directory then needs to be cleaned up. Postings can, however, be deleted from an index. Additionally, only the new documents can be indexed, but that's not efficient.

- mnoGoSearch [10] - akistler examined
- Description
- written in C
- UNIX/Linux source code is GPL; Windows binaries are commercial, likely based on the GPL UNIX/Linux code, and lag a few versions behind
- Indices are stored in a database; Supported databases include MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite (among others)
- HTTP, FTP, and NNTP crawling
- C, PHP, and Perl APIs (advertised, apparently only C API really included)
- SBCS and most MBCS supported, including most eastern Asian languages
- Evaluation
- The supplied install.pl script generates a configure command, but does not support SQLite.
- Adding --with-sqlite3 to the generated command adds SQLite support. An empty database must be created manually. A URI in the indexer.conf file specifies the location of the database. According to the documentation, sqlite:/path/to/db/file should work, but doesn't. According to the message boards on mnoGoSearch.org, sqlite://localhost/path/to/db/file should work, but doesn't.
- No problems compiling with PostgreSQL support. Configure and Makefile may need significant rewriting to make good RPMs. There is no support for cross-compiling to 32-bit architectures from 64-bit machines.
- As written, the setup expects that the application process logs in to the database as a PostgreSQL superuser and schema owner, however with additional manual steps it can be made to work as neither the superuser nor the schema owner. Several schemata are available (single, multi, and blob). LavTech recommends blob for sites indexing more than 50k documents. The crawler is very flexible with quite a complex configuration file. The CGI search page also has nice features for "advanced" searching, although it can be customized to suit each site. Tags are labels configured within the crawler, usually by URI server component. Categories are numerical hierarchies, up to 6 levels deep, also specified in the crawler configuration.
- Bugs in pgsql/drop.blob.sql
- 1. drop function clean_srvinfo(); (the () is omitted, but needs to be included)
- 2. DROP LANGUAGE plpgsql; (missing)
- 3. DROP FUNCTION plpgsql_call_handler(); (missing, has to be run twice, once for postgres, once for dbowner?)
- Does this definition in postgres (dangerously) shortcut anything inherent for other DBs on the same server?
- Requirements
- buildrequires
- gcc make
- sqlite-devel (for SQLite support)
- postgresql-devel (for PostgreSQL support)
- zlib-devel
- requires
- sqlite (for SQLite support)
- postgresql-libs (for PostgreSQL support)
- httpd
- zlib
- others as desired to index documents (pdf, etc.)
- Setup Notes
- The tarball was compiled into /opt/mnoGoSearch, although it should be possible to create an RPM for more conventional locations (/bin, /etc, /sbin, etc.)
- On x86_64 architecture, the x86_64 binary fails when indexing a crawl with the error "indexer[21272]: PQexecPrepared: ERROR: incorrect binary data format in bind parameter 2." The tarball refuses to cross-compile to 32-bit architecture, despite tweaking the ./configure options. Compiling on a 32-bit machine and moving the binaries to the 64-bit machine works.
- Create database user (mno/search) different from database owner (dbowner/dbowner) different from superuser (postgres)
- /opt/mnoGoSearch/sbin/indexer -Ecreate, to create the tables, etc., and /opt/mnoGoSearch/sbin/indexer -Edrop, to drop tables, etc., just runs a script from /opt/mnoGoSearch/share/<db-type>/, but needs to be run as postgres
- Run create.blob.sql as postgres, change owners to dbowner, and grant privileges to mno

- Namazu [11] - Huzaifa investigating
- written in Perl
- in Fedora already
- Nutch [12] - akistler examined
- Description
- written in Java
- based on Lucene
- the crawler/indexer is a Java command line application; the default depth is 5; the default number of threads is 10
- the search tool runs in a Java servelet container, e.g., Tomcat
- Evaluation
- There's nothing to build. Simply configure the crawler (which is actually the indexer, too) and deploy/configure the searcher. The crawler caches the pages it indexes, making the cache available to the search tool. The search interface is extremely simple and is multi-lingual, but is almost entirely an advertisement for the Nutch project. It doesn't look particularly easy to rebrand. Overall, the polish of the finished product means it's less flexible to custom modifications, like programmable keywords. After creating a new index (i.e., after a new crawl), the search application must be reloaded in Tomcat manager. The crawler is more flexible than a brief investigation could reveal. The official documentation leaves a lot to be desired. Searches are for single terms only, no multiple terms or +/- Booleans.
- Requirements
- java-1.6.0-openjdk, java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel (explicit specification short-circuits yum's attempt to install BEA for Tomcat)
- tomcat5, tomcat5-webapps, tomcat5-admin-webapps (tomcat5-admin-webapps is probably not actually required, but is very handy)
- Set-up Notes
- The best "tutorial" is http://wiki.apache.org/nutch/NutchTutorial
- Create /etc/profile.d/java.sh for "export JAVA_HOME=/etc/alternatives/jre" (required for the crawler, architecture independent definition)
- In /opt (in this example, though anyplace will do) "tar xzf /path/to/tar/file/nutch-1.0.tar.gz"
- Set http.agent.name in /opt/nutch-1.0/conf/nutch-site.xml (e.g., FedoraProject)
- Create a flat file of starting URLs in /opt/nutch-1.0/urls/crawl-start.txt (it can be any file name in the directory)
- Edit /opt/nutch-1.0/conf/crawl-urlfilter.txt to set regular expressions which keep or discard links for processing (e.g., the domain of the servers crawled)
- If not running the crawler as root (Why would you?), create directories /opt/nutch-1.0/crawl and /opt/nutch-1.0/logs writable by whatever uid/gid used to crawl
- Note: The crawler also needs to be able to create temporary files in its working directory
- Run the crawler, putting the database in /opt/nutch-1.0/crawl
- Deploy the WAR file from /opt/nutch-1.0/nutch-1.0.war as /nutch in Tomcat manager
- Set searcher.dir in /var/lib/tomcat5/webapps/nutch/WEB-INF/classes/nutch-site.xml to /opt/nutch-1.0/crawl
- Swish-e [13] - akistler examined
- Description
- written in C
- Note: Swish++ is a rewrite in C++ (not evaluated here)
- Evaluation
- Search engine with a built-in web crawler, a built-in file system crawler, and an interface for an external crawler. The distribution includes sample search pages which use the Perl API. There is also a C API. The index is not customizable, but does include a facility for including metawords (exact match) and the path in the index for each document. The documentation acknowledges that the software only supports ASCII, but some MBCS may also work.
- Requirements
- buildrequires
- gcc
- make
- libxml2-devel
- zlib-devel
- requires
- libxml2
- zlib
- perl-libwww-perl (for the built-in spider)

- Xapian [14] - akistler examined
- Description
- written in C++
- bindings to Python, Ruby, and Perl XS
- xapian-core, xapian-bindings, and perl-Search-Xapian in Fedora already; xapian-omega is not
- additional bindings to PHP, Java, and more (?)
- Omega provides a Xapian front-end for indexing (via script) and searching (command line or CGI)
- Omega provides glue scripts for ht://Dig, mbox files, and perl DBI
- Flax [15] is another search engine built on top of Xapian and CherryPy
- Evaluation
- Xapian is a search engine library. Omega adds functionality on top of Xapian. The Xapian database is very flexible, supporting an entirely user-designed schema. Usage through Omega loses very little, if any, of that flexibility, however the supplied Omega CGI is extremely rudimentary. The supplied Omega CGI also requires the database to be named "default," although that can be changed. Database columns are of type field or index. Fields are stored verbatim (e.g., URL, date, MIME type, keywords). Indices are input as blocks of text or other content to be indexed, but not stored (e.g., the corpus of a file or web page). The Omega scriptindex utility can be combined with an external web crawler for HTML. Making Omega work with Apache requires relabeling /var/lib/omega as httpd_sys_content, or moving /var/lib/omega to /var/www/omega and using the default context there. In this evaluation, /var/lib/omega was moved to /var/www/omega. Xapian only works with UTF-8.

- Solr [20] - akistler examined
- Reason for elimination
- It has no crawling/spidering facility. It has no user query interface. There are no samples.
- Description
- written in Java
- based on Lucene
- Evaluation
- The documentation describes installing Sun Java to run Solr, but OpenJDK 1.5 or later is fine. Solr needs a Java servlet container in which to run. It comes with Jetty, but other containers should work, as well (e.g., Tomcat). Currently only supports UTF-8 characters.
- Basically Solr provides an HTTP admin GUI for a search engine that uses a superset of the Lucene query syntax. The schema is very flexible. Set-up is essentially entirely through XML files. Applications can query the servlet port and get XML or JSON responses.
- Requirements
- buildrequires
- ant (note that ant currently pulls in java-gcj-compat, too, but it appears not to be a problem)
- ant-junit
- java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel

Public Testing
Public Testing is taking place on publictest3.
Search Engines
- mnoGoSearch (http://publictest3.fedoraproject.org/cgi-bin/mnoGoSearch)
- PostgreSQL installed (postgresql, postgresql-devel, postgresql-libs, postgresql-server)
- SELinux (not present on publictest3, but needed eventually) needs:
- "setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1" to connect to PostgreSQL
- Crawling trials (with database cleared each time, i.e., not incremental)
- Memory and CPU utilization are quite modest, about 1% each. Most CPU time is spent in I/O Wait (for the database?).
- Depth=4, 2 hrs crawling, 1.5 min indexing, 11k documents
- Depth=5, 4.5 hrs crawling, 12 min indexing, 25k documents
- Depth=6, 6.5 hrs crawling, 16 min indexing, 34k documents
- Depth=7, 12 hrs crawling, 23 min indexing, 40k documents
- Nutch (http://publictest3.fedoraproject.org/nutch)
- The Nutch tarball was unpacked in /opt/nutch-1.0, just as in preliminary local testing
- Tomcat is reverse proxied through Apache (see notes below)
- Nutch's definition/conception of depth appears to be unusual. The crawler must be directed to spider much more deeply than should be necessary.
- Crawls are executed as (e.g.) "/opt/nutch-1.0/bin/nutch crawl /opt/nutch-1.0/urls -dir /opt/nutch-1.0/crawl -depth 5 -threads 2"
- Crawling trials
- java process uses about 18% of 6G of memory (4G RAM, 2G swap), regardless of depth
- Depth=4, 2 threads, 1.5k documents
- Depth=5, 2 threads, 3 hrs, 8k documents
- Depth=6, 1 thread, 8.5 hrs, 23k documents
- Depth=7, 1 thread, 14.5 hrs, 37k documents, db = 400M
- Depth=8, 1 thread, 16.5 hrs, 44k documents, db = 440M
- Xapian (http://publictest3.fedoraproject.org/cgi-bin/omega)
- At this time, only installed xapian-core-libs, xapian-core, and xapian-omega (i.e., no xapian-bindings or perl-Search-xapian)
- Enabled cgi-bin in /etc/httpd/conf.d/cgi-bin.conf (see notes below)
- Omega bombs on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Overview (and would possibly on others later) with "unhtml index"
- Resolution: Don't use "unhtml"
- Omega bombs on long URIs (longer than 244 chars)
- Example: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:WhatLinksHere/Ru_RU/%D0%9F%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%BD_%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%82%D1%8B_%D0%BF%D0%BE_%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B4%D1%83_web-%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%B9%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%B0_Fedora
- Resolution: Enhanced custom crawler to filter URIs better (fedoraproject.org/w/ from the wiki); added capability to discard URIs that are too long (mostly hex URIs translated from other DBCS)
- Perl custom crawler prints warnings for (and refuses to translate) URIs with Unicode characters outside the Latin 1 range
- Resolution: None. This issue is known for URI.pm.[35]
- Crawling trials
- Failed, Depth=5, scriptindex used 70% of 4G of memory (2G RAM, 2G swap, 0% free)
- terminated, system sluggish with swap I/O
- Depth=4, 4 hrs, 15218 documents, index is about 500M on disk, scriptindex used 40% of 4G of memory (2G RAM, 2G swap)
- Depth=5, 8 hrs, 41171 documents, index is about 1G on disk, scriptindex used 20% of 6G of memory (4G RAM, 2G swap)
- Failed, Depth=5, scriptindex used 70% of 4G of memory (2G RAM, 2G swap, 0% free)
Apache Configuration Notes
- CGI for Xapian Omega and mnoGoSearch
- In /etc/httpd/conf.d/cgi-bin.conf, just use the default configuration normally commented out in httpd.conf.
# ScriptAlias: This controls which directories contain server scripts. # ScriptAliases are essentially the same as Aliases, except that # documents in the realname directory are treated as applications and # run by the server when requested rather than as documents sent to the client. # The same rules about trailing "/" apply to ScriptAlias directives as to # Alias. # ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ "/var/www/cgi-bin/" # # "/var/www/cgi-bin" should be changed to whatever your ScriptAliased # CGI directory exists, if you have that configured. # <Directory "/var/www/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride None Options None Order allow,deny Allow from all </Directory>
- Reverse proxy for Tomcat
- In /etc/httpd/conf.d/tomcat5.conf:
<Location /admin> Order Allow,Deny Allow from ... </Location> ProxyPass /admin http://localhost:8082/admin ProxyPassReverse /admin http://localhost:8082/admin # <Location /manager> Order Allow,Deny Allow from ... </Location> ProxyPass /manager http://localhost:8082/manager ProxyPassReverse /manager http://localhost:8082/manager # ProxyPass /nutch http://localhost:8082/nutch ProxyPassReverse /nutch http://localhost:8082/nutch
Tomcat Configuration Notes
- In /etc/tomcat5/server.xml:
- comment out the AJP connector on port 8009
- comment out the HTTP connector on port 8080
- uncomment the proxied HTTP connector on 8082
- add proxyName to the HTTP connector on 8082
- could alternatively define proxyName and proxyPort and undefine redirectPort in the HTTP connector on port 8080
- SELinux (not present on publictest3, but needed eventually)
- For port 8082, SELinux needs "setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect=1"
- Alternatively, for port 8080, SELinux needs "setsebool -P httpd_can_network_relay=1"
- manager and admin (in fact, all users) defined in /etc/tomcat5/tomcat-users.xml
- Recommended, but not done here, change the shutdown password in server.xml (default is SHUTDOWN)

On October 28-29, the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University was buzzing with twenty two college educators learning and discussing ways to teach genomics in the classroom. The two day CyVerse (formerly iPlant Collaborative) faculty workshop was taught by Jason Williams from the DNA Learning Center of Cold Spring Harbor Labs. Participants comprised faculty from around the region, representing community colleges like Roxbury Community College (Boston, MA) and Manchester Community College (CT) and four year schools including the UMass system (Lowell and Dartmouth, MA), Smith College (Northampton, MA), and Bates College (ME).
The workshop began with discussions about important concepts in molecular biology and genomics. Using the same resources available to the plant biology research community, the participants collected "unknown" species of wildflowers from the hillside outside the Arboretum's Weld Hill Research Building, performed DNA extraction and barcoding experiments in the undergraduate teaching lab, and practiced analyzing their results on their computers. The DNA barcodes from the unknown plants were used to identify their species by utilizing real-world bioinformatics techniques. Barcoding techniques are commonly used by scientists out in the field, including Arnold Arboretum scientist Cam Webb, to document biodiversity in the world's forests. In addition to lab experiments and bioinformatics tools, the workshop allowed the educators an opportunity to interact with their peers and discuss everyday issues in teaching.
The iPlant Collaborative workshop was funded by National Science Foundation and was offered to participating teachers free of charge. Teachers also received a small stipend to defray housing and transportation costs associated with attending the workshop.

NIJ and Australia's National Institute of Forensic Sciences agree to collaborate on areas of mutual interest.
Dr. John H. Laub, Director
Recently, I traveled to the Australian Embassy here in D.C. to sign a memorandum of understanding with the Australia-New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency (ANZPAA). The agreement provides for more than just knowledge-sharing on how the forensic sciences are used in criminal justice. It also establishes a framework for criminal justice forensic communities in the U.S. and Australia to collaborate in performing new research and development — and in evaluating and using new forensic technologies. The memorandum of understanding (MOU) makes clear that this is not a joint venture, per se, but rather an agreement to determine and leverage areas of mutual interest.
The spectrum of areas in which NIJ and ANZPAA may collaborate is wide and could include:
I shared the signing pen with ANZPAA's Director of the National Institute of Forensic Sciences, Alastair Ross, who also presented NIJ with a lovely framed certificate, commemorating the occasion. Later that afternoon, NIJ's forensics R & D team met with Mr. Ross and identified mutual areas of interest in ongoing R & D work, including micro-fluidics, statistics and cognitive bias in fingerprint identification.
This is NIJ's second international partnership on the forensic sciences. In November, I signed an
MOU with the Netherlands. I continue to be a believer in the multiplying force of such partnerships to spark scientific synergy and creativity.

Given that this echoes almost verbatim a Sky press release, you have lost significant respect from me for the rest of the post. Unless you were embedded with USPS and Sky for a comparison, you cannot know this.
Funnily enough I've just read your blog. It does sound similar to the Brailsford quote, but tough. It's not. It's my opinion based on watching the 100m, 200m, 10,000m etc records fall consistently over decades, even when doping is difficult as it is in many track sports. I think it's undeniable that in the space of a decade, 20 seconds is a plausible gain over doped riders.
And please, get off your high horse. I am a new poster but I'm not a new reader. There's too much of this 'I'm sorry but you said one thing therefore I'm ignoring everything you say' in here. I think you make valid points about Wiggins, for example, but when you say things I fundamentally disagree with, it doesn't change how I read the rest of your posts.

(HONG KONG) Dragonair has successfully completed a move to a new check-in system for its airports worldwide. Over a six-month period, 91 destinations across the networks of Dragonair and sister airline Cathay Pacific successfully transitioned to the new system.
The implementation of the new check-in system marks the final stage of the implementation of a fully integrated end-to-end passenger services system for both Dragonair and Cathay Pacific. This system interconnects its sales, reservations and ticketing, inventory management, passenger services, and aircraft load control operations.
The new check-in system will enable Dragonair to make online check-in and mobile check-in services available in a number of destinations that currently don't offer these facilities. From 15 January 2015, passengers travelling on all Dragonair flights will be able to use online check-in and mobile check-in services.
Another plus for passengers is that they can now book tickets through various channels – including www.dragonair.com, the reservations hotline and via travel agents - up to one hour before the schedule flight departure time. Previously, customers were required to go to the airport ticketing counters to make ticket purchases within four hours of their flight's departure.
Dragonair is committed to offering passengers a premium travel experience and since early 2013 has been rolling out a comprehensive upgrade of cabins across its Airbus A330 and A321 fleets, including new First Class, Business Class and Economy Class seats together with a brand-new on-demand inflight entertainment system, StudioKA. Last month Dragonair began the next step in enhancing the passenger experience by introducing new cabins on its A320 aircraft.

By Mike Lehman, TTU Sports Information
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. - There aren't many things that the Tennessee Tech baseball team doesn't know how to do. The Golden Eagles can hit, they can pitch, and they play defense with the best of them. It seems these days the only thing they don't know how do to is give up. And that was proven once again Tuesday evening.
Trailing by three runs heading to the bottom of the eighth inning, the Golden Eagles did what they have done when faced with adversity most of the season. They rallied, scoring four runs to cap a 10-9, come-from-behind victory over in-state rival Lipscomb.
After defeating Tech 12-1 in Nashville in the fourth game of the season, Lipscomb looked like they hadn't missed a beat, scoring four runs on three home runs in the second inning. They extended their lead to 5-0 heading to the bottom of the third.
Tech wouldn't give up, however, collecting two runs in the bottom of the third off a double down the left field line by senior outfielder Austin Wulf. They added two more runs in the bottom of the fourth inning as well. Dylan Bosheers led off the inning with single to left center field. Senior outfielder Michael Morris followed, hammering his first home run of the season over the fence in right center field to cut the lead to 5-4.
With one out in the top of the fifth and the bases loaded, Lipscomb looked sure to extend its lead. That's when senior catcher Evan Frazier made the defensive play of the game. Bison batter Zach Lowery punched a little dribbler to pitcher Nick Price. Price tossed the ball to Frazier at first to get out number two. Frazier then immediatley fired the ball down the third base line to Daniel Miles to catch the Lipscomb runner who rounded third a bit too far for an inning-ending double play.
In the bottom of the sixth, Tech pulled even as senior outfielder James Abraham crushed his first dinger of the year, a solo shot to left center field.
The Bisons collected three more runs in the seventh inning, taking an 8-5 lead while looking to keep the Golden Eagles down and out.
Once again, Tech wouldn't give in, as junior slugger Zach Stephens ripped an RBI single to left field to bring the Golden Eagles within two.
In the top of the eighth inning, Lipscomb looked to land its knockout puch, scoring a run to retake its three run lead and end all hope of a comeback by Tech.
That's when the Golden Eagles truly displayed their toughness and moxy.
In the bottom of the eighth, Lipscomb forced a double play after walking Dylan Bosheers to start the inning. With two outs, surely the Golden Eagles were done for.
Or not. Morris drew a seven pitch walk and Frazier followed by getting hit by a pitch. Both players advanced on a wild pitch and suddenly the Golden Eagles were showing signs of life with runners on second and third.
After getting down 1-2 in the count, second baseman Zach Zarzour punched in a clutch hit, drilling a shot off a lunging Lipscomb shortstop that drove in both Frazier and Morris to bring Tech within one run. Wulf followed right way, lacing a groundball that hopped over a leaping jump by the Bisons first baseman, and sliding safely into second with a double to put runners at second and third.
At this point, it just seemed like destiny that the comeback would be complete. Stephens fell behind in the count 1-2, but even then there was a sense that something great was about to happen as he stepped into the batters box. And then it happened. Stephens drilled a single through the left side of the infield, driving in both runners and giving Tech a 10-9 lead.
From that point, it was just recording three outs and Tech would have its 37th win of the year. Sophomore closer Seth Lucio came in and recorded two quick outs. Lipscomb showed some fight, collecting two hits before Lucio finished it off with a strikeout to earn his 11th save of the season.
Sophomore reliever Byron Skinner earned his first win of the season, tossing 1.2 innings while surrendering just one run. Stephens led the Tech offense with three RBI on 2-for-4 hitting. Morris, Zarzour, and Wulf each recorded two hits and two RBI apiece.
The win helped the Golden Eagles keep their momentum from last weekend's sweep at SEMO going as they head into the regular season series finale against Belmont.
The Ohio Valley Conference season finale will pit the first place Golden Eagles against the second place Belmont Bruins in a three game series for the regular season championship. With two wins, Tech can clinch the title outright, while one victory will guarantee the team at least a share of the championship.
Game one of the series will begin at 6 p.m. CDT on Thursday as Tech ace Tristan Archer will look to outduel Belmont lefty Chase Brookshire, the OVC preseason Pitcher of the Year.

Worst experience ever. Ordered on 16/08/2017 and estimated ship date was 21/08/2017, it's 06/09/2017 now and there is still no info when item will be shipped. Tried to contact pixels.com twice via contact form, no answer. Charger supposed to be gift for my father's birthday on 09/09/2017 but you managed to ruin it. Since I tried to contact You via contact form, and got no result. I hope that you'll read this comment and return me my money, since you failed to deliver product which is now useless to me because you weren't able to provide any info for couple of weeks

I bought this for my sister who is graduating soon. She spends a lot of time on her cell phone, and I thought this would be a personal and usefu giftl. The image is a bit dark but over all nice quality. The charger came with some charge (blue light came on). It looks easy to use, and I'm eager to see how my sister likes it!
Thsi is a digital manipulated photograph of a Gerbera Daisy.
My interest in photography began at a very young age when my parents presented me with my first camera and entrusted me with documenting family outings and vacations. I was fascinated with the power of capturing a moment in time to relive whenever I chose. That camera also opened my eyes to the spectacular beauty and wonders of the natural world. In nature, I have found a place where I can be calm and peaceful and still. I strive to capture and preserve that beauty and convey nature�s calming effects on the soul in my photographs. In 2006, I decided to begin transitioning my passion for photography from hobby to career and created Wolf Mountain Images. You can learn more about my work by visiting my website at...

TODO: Needs an introduction that someone who's a bit more of a newbie can understand.
Good Gentoo documentation:
How does the cross compiling setup work?
TODO: this section needs to be aimed more at portage / Chromium OS newbie level.
Portage is designed to compile packages from source and install them into a root directory. We take advantage of this to make a distinction between host and our target when building. For the host, the root directory where things get installed is /, for a given target board this is /build/<board_name>. You can think of each as a mini Linux system, although they start off with hardly any packages installed.
In order to cross-compile, you need some tools that are run on the host in order to build individual packages. When we set up the system, we install the virtual/target-chromium-os-sdk package to cover these. When additional host tools are needed we can update the package and re-merge it on the host, which will pull in any new tools that are needed -- the build_packages script does this automatically. Notice that since we are updating the host, we use the standard emerge command that installs packages at the root and uses the host's configuration:
sudo emerge -a virtual/target-chromium-os-sdk
We set up a new sysroot per target board that we want to cross compile for. First we make sure that the desired toolchain is installed on the host and set up --sysroot wrappers for the toolchain binaries that set the sysroot on compile. We use the toolchain headers and libraries to bootstrap the board target sysroot in /build/<board_name>. When we set up the board, we can optionally set up a Portage overlay for that individual board. This allows us to customize or add packages on a per-board basis. The board overlay can also include a make.conf that overrides some of our defaults such as compiler CFLAGS.
When cross-compiling, you also need packages that correspond to the target, such as header files and libraries. Our strategy is to install them in the target's root using the --root-deps option. These are only used for compilation and will not be placed into images that are built via build_image.
Once a board is set up, we can start building packages for the board target. We use the board target specific version of emerge to do this.
How does the image build work?
Building a full bootable image is a multi-step process. For a given target, the first step is to build binary packages for all packages needed by Chromium OS using
build_packages. If you look into the details of build_packages, you will see that it works by installing the virtual/target-os package into a target. For example, to prepare to build an x86-generic image:
emerge-x86-generic -a virtual/target-os
We've set a portage option to build binary packages as a side-effect of building anything from source. If you build all of the packages needed by the virtual/target-os ebuild then we will have a binary package for each of these.
Once build_packages finishes, we'll run
build_image. If we look into the details of build_image, you will see that it works by setting up a loopback-mounted ext3 file system, prepping it for booting, and then installing virtual/target-os into it with an option to force using binary packages only. That way we only install the packages and their run-time dependencies and shed all of the build dependencies:
emerge-<board_name> --root="$ROOT_FS_DIR" --root-deps=rdeps --usepkgonly virtual/target-os
We use the
SIDE NOTE: It turns out that for most developers, the above is a bit of a lie. Most developers don't actually build all binary packages from source when they do a build. By default, the build system "cheats" and downloads a binary package from the BINHOST if it can find one. See What does build_packages actually do.
Where do the important files live?
Here are a few important directories:
|version (PV)
|project-<project name>
|project-<project name>-private
| 1.7
| 1.8
| 1.9
Old-style virtuals
The above description is for new-style virtuals. There's also old-style virtuals. You shouldn't ever add one of those, but you might still run into them.
Declaring an old-style virtual is easy, but inflexible. In the
profiles/ subdir, you will find files named
virtuals. It is a simple text file with one virtual per line:
# Add virtual packages for this profile
virtual/chromeos-bsp chromeos-base/chromeos-bsp-null
virtual/chromeos-bsp-dev chromeos-base/chromeos-bsp-dev-null
The first element is the name of the virtual while the second element is the package that provides that virtual. This file format has no other options/extensions available to it.
When does a dependency cause a rebuild?
- DEPEND - A build-time dependency. If we have a build-time dependency on a package, it means that the package needs to be installed before we can build. A good example of this is when we need a header file or static library that is installed by another package.
- RDEPEND - A run-time dependency. In this case, we need the dependent package to be present at runtime (like a shared library or a program that we call at runtime), but we don't necessarily need it in order to build.
staticlib.ebuild- Provides
dynamiclib.ebuild- Provides
milliondollarapp.ebuild- Uses staticlib (DEPEND) and dynamiclib (both DEPEND and RDEPEND)
- If we change / build staticlib, only staticlib will be build.
- If we change / build dynamiclib, dynamiclib will be built and then milliondollarapp (if is is currently installed).
- If we've never built staticlib or dynamiclib and then we change / build milliondollarapp, we'll first build staticlib and dynamiclib and then milliondollarapp.
- If we've already built staticlib and dynamiclib and then we change / build milliondollarapp, we'll just build milliondollarapp.
- This is true even if we've changed (but not built) staticlib or dynamiclib.
- If a newer version of a static library is available / installed, that doesn't mean you need to rebuild everything that uses that static library. They all worked fine with the old version of the static library and will keep working just fine.
- If a newer version of a dynamic library is available (but not installed), there's no particular reason to install it if the old one worked fine.
- If you install a newer version of a dynamic library you'd better rebuild all apps that use it. It's possible that the newer version included a matching header/shared object change (like changing function call from taking an int32 to an int64) and that the only correct thing to do is to rebuild.
- Note that the same argument can't be made if we only RDEPEND on dynamiclib. In that case a build of dynamiclib wouldn't cause a rebuild of milliondollarapp.

The kids came into town on Thursday night to visit. Mckinlee has always loved Sammy and Sammy is so attached to her. When we skype I have to let Sammy sit in my lap so she can talk to him. Yesterday, while she was here, they were inseperatable. He had to go for a walk with us, play in the sprinkler (which he wasn't too excited about) eat together and sleep together.
A few shots of them together. DISCLAIMER: Sammy's groomer appointment isn't until next week so please excuse how he looks. Remember he lives in the country and loves to be dirty.
Playing with my old cheap stethoscope and scoping out her patient.
Sammy plays along like he always does with her.
She loves her Sammy.

Rep. Rubén Hinojosa was the only Texan among the sixteen person House delegation that traveled to Rome last month, a trip that cost American taxpayers more than $60,000.
The bipartisan delegation represented the United States to witness the installation of Pope Francis I at the Vatican in Rome. The trip was the first to be filed following Speaker John Boehner's new policy freezing the use of military aircraft for delegation trips and to fly commercial instead while under the veil of the sequester, according to CQ Roll Call.
The three-day trip totaled $62,891, according to travel reports listed by CQ Roll Call's Political Money Line. Travel expenses totaled $32,768 and $30,123 in per diem costs. Hinojosa's individual expenses were $2,048 for travel and $1,558 per diem. In the past, when military aircraft is used, the amount of money is not disclosed on travel reports.
The delegation was led by New Jersey Rep. Chris Smith and also included Nebraska Rep. Jeff Fortenberry, Alabama Rep. Robert Aderholt, Rhode Island Rep. James Langevin, California Reps Anna Eshoo and Loretta Sanchez, Connecticut Rep. Rosa DeLauro, Illinois Rep. Dan Lipinski, several staffers and House Chaplain Patrick Conroy. Vice President Joe Biden also made the trip to Italy, but his travel expenses weren't included in the House reports.
Another Texan, Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Houston went on seven-day excursion in February that cost $23,646, the House Judiciary Committee reported, according to Roll Call. Jackson Lee visited Korea, Vietnam and Cambodia with the Congressional Coalition on Adoption.
Jackson Lee didn't fly with the rest of the CODEL (an official visit abroad by a congressional member or members), but flew on a commercial flight and met the group in Seoul, South Korea. When the visit to the three countries was complete, Jackson Lee broke away from the delegation early and took another commercial flight back through Frankfurt, Germany.
Jackson Lee's transportation costs were $19,970, per diem costs were $1,292, and other non-specified additional expenses totaled $2,385.
All House delegations and standing committees are required to file any first quarter travel reports by the end of the month.

A Near Future Sleeping Beauty
Imagine waking up after 62 years in a stasis tube by a kiss. That's what the protagonist in this story, does. But what starts like an ordinary romance-on-rails story takes some surprising twists and turns and uncovers dark secrets.
This is part Citizen of the Galaxy since Rosalinda Fitzroy is the long-lost heir to an interplanetary empire and not everyone is happy to step down from their position of power in the company. It is also part Sleeping Beauty the sequel since she is drawn to the boy that woke her. But it also has a splash of Terminator.
Anna Sheehan weaves a thrilling and fascinating story about a vulnerable young girl in a new world. Rose slept through the Dark Times that killed millions and has to learn the world anew as she struggles with the situation. She has a unique coping mechanism that is central to the story but it is also quite dark. There is some action but also a lot of everyday events that lets the reader get to know the people and their world
A Long, Long Sleep was a happy read, I liked it quite much. Both young and old should get enjoyment and entertainment out of this one. It is very standalone though I wouldn't mind revisiting the world and these characters again in another story.
I have been blessed with good reads lately and now I am even happier since I discovered a new-to-me writer. Anna Sheehan feels like a new favorite I have to read more by.
Bottom line is read A Long, Long Sleep, you won't be sorry.
Book Information
A Long, Long Sleep by Anna Sheehan (Chandlewick Press) – Amazon US | UK
Rosalinda Fitzroy had been asleep for 62 years when she was woken by a kiss.
Locked away in the chemically-induced slumber of a stasis tube in a forgotten sub-basement, sixteen-year-old Rose slept straight through the Dark Times that killed millions and utterly changed the world she knew. Now, her parents and her first love are long dead, and Rose – hailed upon her awakening as the long-lost heir to an interplanetary empire – is thrust alone into a future in which she is viewed as either a freak or a threat.
Desperate to put the past behind her and adapt to her new world, Rose finds herself drawn to the boy who kissed her awake, hoping that he can help her to start fresh. But when a deadly danger jeopardizes her fragile new existence, Rose must face the ghosts of her past with open eyes – or be left without any future at all.
