Now for the not-so-wordless part of this "Wordless Wednesday" post.
Every Mother's Day since 2005, I've had my picture (and Ava's, and then Julian's) taken in front of the tulips on the Pearl Street Mall in Boulder. This year we almost didn't go, but I'm glad we did. One of these days I'll need to make a collage of all of my Mother's Day pictures for myself. 🙂
I know I haven't been much of a blogger the past couple weeks. I hope to get a "real" post up later this week. Please know that I'm hanging in there, trying to focus on my recovery from anxiety disorder (I read last night that recovering can take 4 times as long as the amount of time you've spent in the anxious state, so I likely still have quite a ways to go), trying to get good sleep, trying to take care of myself and also working outside on my little garden from last year and a new garden I'm putting in this year. Getting in the dirt is good for my soul.
I hope you are all doing well and hanging in there with me as I muddle through this thing called life. Thanks for sticking with me.

Mailing lists
We use Mailman to manage our lists. Here are some links you might like:
We use cron to run tasks every once in a while. To see the current list of jobs that run, do:
crontab -l
To edit them:
crontab -e
To see what the file format is, read this reference.
The Mysterious Front Page
How does the actual FreeCulture.org homepage get produced? What does everyone see when they visit http://freeculture.org ?
Since we have moved the site into Wordpress, most of our code can be found in the Wordpress theme "fco-wordpress-theme" in "~/domains/freeculture.org/wp-content/themes/". The skeleton for the front page is found in "front_page.php", which gets the content from functions found in "fco-wordpress-theme/front_page/". For instance, the "blurb" at the top of the front page (currently "Students for Free Culture is an international chapter-based student organization that promotes the public interest in intellectual property and information & communications technology policy.") can be found in "fco-wordpress-theme/front_page/front_page_code.php".
The content for the "Current Campaign" box does not come from the theme, it is what you see if you try to open the front page in the Wordpress page editor... it is intended to be easily edited and updated through the GUI just like any other blog page.
The planet program lives in ~/planet-prog/. It outputs to ~/public_html/planet/ via an every-30m cron job.
There are two planets. They share the same Python code; they just have different config.ini directories:
- ~/planet/personal-planet/config.ini
- ~/planet/chapters-planet/config.ini
Add people's RSS feeds to those config files according to the comments you'll find inside. For the people Planet, add people's mini-photos in ~/domains/planet.freeculture.org/images/ and adjust the config.ini as appropriate. For the chapters Planet, I have no idea.
You might consider backing up all of the files to the .backup directory before making changes.
Upgrading "planet"
You could try upgrading it using "bzr". I wouldn't try it without backing up ~/planet-prog/. I expect it to clobber ~/planet-prog/examples/fancy/config.ini.
LiveJournal, for example, has broken RSS feeds that sometimes give the wrong Last-Modified-Date. So you might need to ask Planet to redownload the whole feed.
According to ~/planet-prog/examples/fancy/config.ini , Planet stores its cache in ~/planet-prog/cache/ . So to delete the whole cache:
rm ~/planet-prog/cache/*
In that directory, you can choose to remove just a single cached feed. The names make it clear which one is which.
Every domain we own or run is listed at Domains.
Calendar publishing
We use phpicalendar. If everyone working on the national level shares their calendars with each other, it becomes much easier to schedule meetings at mutually convenient times (instead of playing calendar battleship... "are you free at 3pm?" "No." "How about 4pm?" "You sunk my battleship! You bastard!").
As a user
- Set your calendar client to synchronize to http://freeculture.org:8080/calendars/YOURNAMEHERE.ics
- You will need to use a username/password pair special to the calendar stuff assigned to you by the web team
- Be SURE you use a file with your name in it. Otherwise you run the risk of others overwriting your data, and vice-versa!
- Check on http://freeculture.org/cal/ that your calendar appears
As a sysadmin
- Apache2 runs the WebDAV service; its configuration is in /etc/apache2/
- htpasswd file in ~freecult/passwords/calendar-htpasswd
- calendar files stored in ~freecult/public_html/database/calendars/
- to change someone's password, or create a user, do:
htpasswd /home/freecult/passwords/calendar-htpasswd USERNAME
We have a secret gmail account, freeculture.org at gmail dot com, that receives copies of the email sent to freedom, newgroup, and media. This was built to solve [1].
Because each of those email addresses is a separate account, they have a .procmailrc in their $HOME that reads:
:0c ! firstname.lastname@example.com
The "c" stands for copy. That's key - they stay in the IMAP box.
Creating a new list
- Go to http://lists.freeculture.org/
- Click for "the list admin overview page"
- Click to "create a new mailing list"
- Like, create one.
- Visit https://secure.makesad.us/~admin/intranet/mysql_tools/make_db.html from the fc.o server, and enter some username freecult_something and click "Submit"! (the username / db name should be less than 16 characters in length)
- When you create a new database, be sure to BACK IT UP (see section backups)
- You can use PHPMyAdmin to view our databases.
- You must log in using the username and password the web app itself uses, which you must fish out of the configuration for said app.
Chapter hosting
note: in the instructions below, '~' will only be the correct path if you're logged in as freecult
Step 1: Creating the chapter's web space
- mkdir -p ~/chapter-hosting/$subdomain/files
Step 2: Enable the chapter's web space in Apache
- Become root, then
- cd /etc/apache2/conf.d/
- export subdomain=SUBDOMAIN_YOU_ARE_CREATING
- svn cp 200-umich.conf 200-$subdomain.conf
- sed -i s/umich/$subdomain/g 200-$subdomain.conf
- svn commit 200-$subdomain.conf -m "Created web space for $subdomain"
- /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
- Go to http://$subdomain.freeculture.org/. It will say "Curious. There seems to be an error" until you set up Lyceum for this subdomain, or configure a redirect in the Semantic MediaWiki entry for this chapter.
Adding a wiki
Wiki step 1: Put the files in the right place
Go to the right directory:
- cd ~/chapter-hosting/$college
Now copy our MediaWiki setup in:
- git clone ~/chapter-hosting/wiki-skeleton/mediawiki/ wiki
Wiki step 2: Put content in the database
Now create the database you will use:
- python /home/freecult/software/fco-svn/mediawiki-cloning/clone.py /home/freecult/chapter-hosting/wiki-skeleton/mediawiki/LocalSettings.php
Take note of the username and password it prints. Now, open up LocalSettings.php with an editor:
- cd ~/chapter-hosting/$college/wiki/
- nano -w LocalSettings.php
- Update LocalSettings.php to have the right DB config info
- Update LocalSettings.php to have the right Wiki name
Now, run the UPGRADE_ALL_WIKIS.sh script. (This makes sure that the new wiki, as well as all the old wikis, have all the maintenance scripts run that they need.)
- cd ~/chapter-hosting
- ./UPGRADE_ALL_WIKIS.sh
Ta-da! http://$college.freeculture.org/wiki/ should work now.
Wiki step 3: Customization for the chapter
- When you go to edit the Main_Page, you will see links to these templates: Chapter_name, Chapter_subdomain, School_name, School_url. Fill those in properly
- use this url syntax: '.../wiki/template:$template_name'
- Create a username for the chapter's lead member and promote him to Bureaucrats.
- Whew, that's all!
Lyceum (WordPress farm)
- Log in as admin at freeculture.org/lyceum
- go to the new user registration page
- enter the desired username for the administrative account on the new blog
- enter the new blog's subdomain (under "blog address")
- from the terminal, ssh to freeculture.org
- Become root
- cd /etc/apache2/conf.d/
- Look at 200-$college.conf - make sure the "DocumentRoot /home/freecult/subdomains/" line is commented-out, and make sure "DocumentRoot /home/freecult/chapter-hosting/lyceum_test/src/lyceum/" is enabled.
- run /etc/init.d/apache2 reload
now the blog is live. have a representative from the chapter create an account on lyceum, and give them admin powers for their new blog.
Moving an existing wiki to the farm
Prepare DB
- First get a SQL dump
- As per this warning, use --default-character-set=latin1 for really old wikis.
- Then create a new DB
- Then use the mysql CLI to import the dump
- Then delete the SQL dump!
Prepare MW
- move AdminSettings.sample into AdminSettings.php
- Edit LocalSettings.php to be similar to the old one, but with the current DB
- NOTE: If you did --default-character-set=latin1 for the mysqldump, you will want to set $wgDBmysql5=false in LocalSettings.php.
- Comment-out the define("MW_INSTALL_PATH") at the top
- Set IP to ~/chapter-hosting/$chapter/wiki/
- cp -a ~/software/mediawiki/maintenance .
- php maintenance/update.php maintenance/refreshLinks.php
Good! If it said it worked, then:
- rm -rf maintenance
- mv AdminSettings.php AdminSettings.example
- edit LocalSettings.php and re-enable the define("MW_INSTALL_PATH")
- Copy their old logo into ~/chapter-hosting/$chapter/files/fcWikiLogo.png
- Remove the "#" before the $wgLogo setting in LocalSettings.php
Prepare Apache
- Do the usual Apache preparation as per chapter hosting in general.
Checking out
- svn checkout http://freeculture.org:8080/svn/
- Just do "svn commit"!
- But you must be a registered user first, see below!
Adding users
- Log in to the freeculture.org server, and do:
htpasswd /home/freecult/subversion-repository/conf/htpasswd YOUR_USERNAME
- Your password will not be encrypted when sent across the Internet, so keep that in mind when picking the password.
Asheesh set up 'dirvish' and configured his work desktop to pull the backups from the fco vserver.
Every night, a cron job runs that saves all the databases to separate files in /home/freecult/backups/databases/. These are then copied as regular files during the nightly dirvish backup job.
To get a database in on this super fun backup party (everyone's doing it), add it to /home/freecult/passwords/mysql_passwords
Chapter database
we have a whole page on the Chapters database
Data privacy on this wiki
We ask users to store personal information in this wiki. Here are all the ways we restrict access to it:
- TODO: Non-includable namespaces: NS_USER should be blocked from being transcluded.
- DONE: Semantic MediaWiki currently does not store properties whose names begin with secret_.
- FIXME: It should store the data and just not show it unless you're an admin.
- TODO: Choose some MW extension to prevent people from reading source of NS_USER pages.
- In practice, the "read" right allows viewing the source. Therefore, we will have to:
- Prevent non-owners of an NS_USER page from changing that user's page, and
- Around line 1077, change the $source to a message indicating data has been hidden from view for privacy reasons, and
- Prevent the DifferenceEngine from showing these pages.
- Main call is Article.php:661, but just grep for new.*DifferenceEngine
- In practice, the "read" right allows viewing the source. Therefore, we will have to:
Review of UserCan extensions
Which MW extension can easily prevent people from writing each others' NS_USER pages?
- NOT Read Restrict - this isn't tested against the possible security holes.
- NOT UserPageEditProtection - no discussion of view source.
- NOT WhiteList - whitelisting isn't what we want.
- NOT Prefix security - requires manual group maintenance.
- NOT PermissionACL - requires manual group maintenance.
- NOT PasswordProtected- wrong model
Hmm. From #mediawiki moments ago:
<paulproteus> I want pages that people can read but can't view the source of, to be clear. <Simetrical> paulproteus, it controls all view permissions, including view source. <paulproteus> I see. <Simetrical> You can't have that.
Upgrading Semantic MediaWiki
If you feel motivated to upgrade Semantic MediaWiki or Semantic Forms, you should be sure to update the SMW data set. Here's how:
$ cd domains/wiki.freeculture.org/maintenance/ $ php SMW_refreshData.php -pv $ php SMW_refreshData.php -v

The Messiah Watch is officially on alert: Last week we learned that Tim Tebow's Broncos jersey—once record-setting—is only the tenth most popular in the NFL. This bright Denver man suggests that retailers must be "all out of size sexy"; another non-believer in KDVR's segment suggests it's because Tim Tebow just isn't a very good pro quarterback. Sacrilege abound!
The only other possibility we could come up with is that the Broncos have referred to their depth chart and started selling magnanimous "Quinn or Tebow" jerseys, but we haven't seen any hard evidence of that just yet.

The report shows that C. difficile is not just a problem in hospitals—it is a patient safety issue in all types of medical facilities, including nursing homes, physician offices, and outpatient facilities. C. difficile causes diarrhea linked to 14,000 American deaths each year. Almost half of the infections occur in people younger than 65, but more than 90% of deaths occur in people 65 and older. About 25% of C. difficile infections first show symptoms in hospital patients; 75% first show in nursing home patients or in people recently cared for in physician offices and clinics. To help reduce the spread of C. difficile, CDC provides guidelines and tools to the health care community, including a podcast on 6 steps to prevention for clinicians, in addition to information for patients. CDC notes that hospitals that follow infection control recommendations have lowered C. difficile infection rates by 20% in less than 2 years.

This has been a tough week for Bobbi Kristina! Apparently Bobbi and adopted brother/boyfriend Nick Gordon have decided to announce the end of their engagement on twitter!
"@REALbkBrown and I are not engaged or dating. Just close like we have always been," Nick tweeted. Hours later The Houstons: On Our Own star announced the couple/friends/siblings/video game partners were hanging out together.
Perhaps Bobbi wasn't aware of Nick's plans at the time, because days later she posted a couple cryptic tweets alluding to the single-girl life. Which may be a good thing for the 19-year-old! "I'm leaving , this this good ole town and driving to the send of the world . Maybe it's beautiful there (: Xxxo," she mused. "I guess it's time 4me2stop depending on anymore."

"The Belly of the Whale [series] is affected by the cumulative consciousness and experiences of the past. The shipwreck, the white horse, [and] the light at the end of the tunnel are archetypal images and ideas that resonate and reoccur throughout history: [in] the arts, mythology, and religion. Standing before the subject, I know if I am witnessing the 'Belly.' It is difficult to explain: a mood, a balance, a sensibility, nostalgia, nihilism, and melancholy all rolled into one. It is instinctive and primeval and relies on ones capacity to imagine and comprehend." —Robin Friend
Robin Friend's Untitled (Horse) was featured in reGeneration 2: Tomorrow's Photographers Today, the second book in Aperture's series shining a spotlight on the next generation's rising stars. Friend creates his images by using a large-format camera, which enables him to work accurately with light, color, and focus. With his landscapes, he seeks to share a physical encounter. Through his work, he questions our relationship with the earth, examines the place of human nature, and explores space through the act of seeing, without omitting the experience of sublime beauty.
Robin Friend (born in London in 1983) graduated with an MFA in Photography from Royal College of Art in 2009. He has participated in shows in the U.K., and his work is held in the collection of the John Jones Collection.

Teaching Tolerance Honors Five Educators for Excellence in Culturally Responsive Teaching
On Dec. 9, 2011, at a special gathering in the nation's capital, Teacher Tolerance honored the five winners of its Culturally Responsive Teaching Award. The award was designed to recognize educators who have demonstrated excellence in teaching students from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. The five winners, selected through a rigorous application and review process, each received $1,000. The awards event, organized by Education Week Teacher, also included panel discussions exploring the facets of culturally responsive pedagogy, as well as a keynote address by acclaimed scholar Sonia Nieto. Archived video of the entire event is below; video clips highlighting the teacher-awardees' work appear in the right-hand column.
The Winners:
(Click on each winner for additional details.)
Silvestre Arcos, middle school math teacher, the Laboratory School of Finance and Technology, New YorkWhen he first surveyed the program for English-language learners at his school, Arcos—who holds an master's in bilingual/bi-cultural education from Teachers College at Columbia University—was disappointed by the use of the traditional, "subtractive" model of weaning students from their first language as they learn English...
The English-only focus had caused "a serious divide," he says. In 2007, Arcos' principal asked him to direct a new, dual-language program that would emphasize cross-cultural learning and the development of Spanish-language as well as English skills. As a result, the students have a renewed respect for both languages and soaring proficiency scores. "We do not see them coming in with zero knowledge," says Arcos of Spanish-dominant students. "We see them coming in with a wealth of knowledge. They are just adding a second language to their repertoire."
Sonia Galaviz, 5th grade teacher, Endeavor Elementary School in Nampa, Idaho.Galaviz' school serves many students from low-income families and has the highest English-language learning population in her district. "Building relationships is at the heart of my pedagogy," says Galaviz, who holds a master's degree in curriculum and instruction (bilingual ed. emphasis) from Boise State University...
She starts by visiting the homes of each of her students during the first two weeks of school to learn more about each student's hidden strengths and how to work best with each family. In class, Galaviz, supplements the curriculum with authentic materials and experiences that reflect the cultures of her Mexican-American, Asian, Native American, and white Idahoan students. Galaviz sees her approach to teaching as a responsibility. "I don't have the right to ask families to invest in my classroom if not investing in them first," she says. And her students show very few behavior issues. "They know I'm invested," she says with a laugh. "I know where they live!"
Katy LaCroix, literacy specialist and 4th and 5th grade teacher, Logan Elementary School, Ann Arbor, MichiganIn addition to teaching an ethnically and academically diverse mix of students, LaCroix—who holds a master's degree in educational leadership from Eastern Michigan—heads up her school's "equity team," a group of faculty members that meets throughout the year to share culturally inclusive teaching strategies...
One of her key strategies is to learn as much as she can about her students. She does this in part by going to lunch with them and, when she's invited, attending important events outside of school—like church services and basketball games. "This strategy is at the heart of culturally relevant teaching," she says. "Using what I know about my students, I can incorporate their interests, hopes, and aspirations into my classroom." This also helps Logan's equity team evaluate and revise its methods. Elementary students "are often hesitant to share their feelings about race," says LaCroix. "But we want to keep them talking."
Amber Makaiau, National Board-certified social studies teacher, Kailua High School, Oahu, Hawaii.She teaches "Hawaiian" students, meaning those from native Polynesian populations as well as from around the Pacific Rim, including Japan and China. Her students, most of whom are from disadvantaged backgrounds, often struggle to understand what "being Hawaiian means. ..."
Today, they are addressing that struggle through an innovative course in ethnic studies that Makaiau, who has a Ph.D in curriculum and instruction from the University of Hawaii, helped to develop. Now mandatory for 9th graders, the course has been successful in reducing school violence and violence-related suspensions. Students see it as successful as well. In a recent essay, one student wrote, "I blossomed into something more [in this class]; my growth increases every day. … I am a girl who honors all of my family names, I am a proud leader, and I am Hawaiian."
Tracy Oliver-Gary, history teacher, Paint Branch High School, Burtonsville, Maryland.Oliver-Gary teaches open enrollment AP history classes to a mix of Asian, African, Latino, black, and white students, ensuring that all students have opportunities to tackle rigorous content...
She believes that any teacher working with a diverse group of students faces a learning curve. "One thing I had to learn is that just because I'm black doesn't mean I know how to teach black kids," says Oliver-Gary, who has been teaching for 12 years. With more diverse classrooms—both in terms of academic skill and ethnicity—Oliver-Gary says she "had to be more intentional" in her teaching. For instance, despite studies showing that students of color—including black and Latino students—work well in groups, she has often found that "some students just really hate to work with other kids." She now creates lesson plans as diverse as her students. And Oliver-Gary often finds herself teaching study skills as well as the curriculum. But she has learned how to access her talent for teaching in new ways. Giving her students a voice, she says, also allows her to "paint a picture of their future."

USPS worker hospitalized after dog attack
Witnesses say dogs mauled 55-year-old Emogene Powell
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – A postal worker was hospitalized Tuesday after two dogs attacked her while she was delivering mail in Miami Gardens.
According to authorities, two dogs jumped a neighboring fence and mauled the postal worker, who has been identified as 55-year-old Emogene Powell.
It happened at 1410 NW 191st Street around 4:40 p.m.
Wilman Hilarie, a resident in the area, told Local 10's Ross Palombo she saw the attack.
"The dog tried to eat her alive," said Hilarie. "(She was) screaming, 'Help me, I'm dying.'"
Witnesses said they helped tear the dogs off of the victim and took turns comforting her until rescuers arrived.
"There were some deep puncture wounds," said Captain Ralph Suarez with the Miami Gardens Police Department.
The wounds are located on the victim's face, both arms and one leg authorities said.
The man who owned the home where it happened wouldn't discuss the matter on camera. Neighbors said the dogs have been a problem for months.
"They are vicious as hell," said resident Roosevelt Murray.
A woman at the dog's house said they're two American bulldogs. She said the owner has licenses and papers for the dogs.
When asked if she knew how the dogs got out, the woman said, "No, I can't say what I don't know."
Palombo asked the woman whether she felt responsible for the attack.
"I feel her pain," she said.
Animal Control said there is little they can do because the dogs appear to be legal and the attack appears to be an accident. Both dogs left the scene with their owner.
"It's not right," said neighbor Tiffany Jackson. "Someone got hurt. It's not right."
Powell remained in stable condition at Memorial Regional Hospital Tuesday night.

The greatest gift we can give children is education. Our next generation will require unprecedented levels of knowledge, skills and creativity. For they will not only face the challenges we know today but many more we have yet to identify. Moreover, education is a proven path to prosperity and our most promising solution to poverty.
A model for 21st Century education begins by recognizing the innate learning capacity of people. We are born learners and we spend our lives making sense of our experiences. So the first pillar is to preserve that natural learning and sense of wonder; ensuring that students are active participants in the learning process. Next is feedback – consistently informing the student about where they are on the learning journey, how well they are doing and what are the next steps. To this we add purpose that students may understand the value of what they are doing.
Education technology isn't required to teach this way. As in other industries, technology simply increases the capacity of teachers and students. But the potential is considerable. More effective students can learn more rapidly and retain their knowledge better. For teachers, automation frees them to spend more time in 1:1 interactions and feedback helps them to know exactly how best to spend that time. The net result is teaching more students better than ever before.
I've been blessed in my career to collaborate with like-minded individuals. I've been inspired by their passion and creativity and humbled by the willingness of philanthropists to dedicate so much to this cause. I learn from what they are doing and share as much as possible. I'm confident that our collective efforts will benefit many generations.
Moreover, if we take anything with us when we exit this life, it will be the people we've known and the knowledge we've gained.

These primitive hand-operated firefighting tubs --
handtubs -- evolved over the next hundred years. By the mid
1800s, most fire engines had the capability to draft water
from nearby rivers or ponds, thus making the need to fill a
tub with water obsolete, but the name handtub
What some engines lost in power they gained in speed and
maneuverability. Many New England communities favored
end-stroke engines which were much smaller and could easily
negotiate narrow streets. These engines also had an arched
("crane neck") frame which would allow the front wheels to
turn 90° to the body. Aurora's Young America No. 2
engine, is a side-stroke style -- where the brakes run
parallel to the side of the engine. Its larger and longer
size allowed more men to operate a larger size pump making
it a a more powerful engine.
Aurora's Young America No. 2 hand engine,
a Class A size, side-stroke hand engine made in the 1850s.
For tournament purposes, hand operated fire engines come
in five sizes or classes. Class A engines have a
piston size greater than 7 inches in diameter, Class
B engines have pistons between 4.5 and 7 inches,
and Class C tubs have pistons less than 4.5
inches. Their are also special classes for rotary gear
engines, and handtubs with only a single piston.

The Young America Fire Co. and the ARFM's Young America No. 2
The Aurora Regional Fire Museum has recently completed the restoration of our hand-pumped fire engine, and as a nod to the past, it has been christened, "Young America No. 2."
Restoring our hand pumper
Follow the engine's restoration in this step-by-step photo article.
Memorial Day, 2002
In its inaugural appearance, members of the Aurora Fire Department pulled the Young America No. 2 engine, alongside a group of Naperville firefighters and their 1870s era "Joe Naper" hand-engine.
The Aurora Regional Fire Museum and Handtub Junction thank all who attended
the Great Midwestern Handtub Exposition and Competition, and we invite you

Enable Me
In August 2011, Eschmann launched a new initiative by asking their staff to propose a charity which the company would then select as its nominated charity. Whilst the company will continue to support specific charitable activities such as Red Nose/Comic Relief and Children in Need, the idea behind this initiative is to build and develop a partnership with the charity and devise a number of fund-raising activities to raise money over the course of the next year.
The charity ultimately selected by staff is a small, locally based one called the Enable Me Project which is run by just one full time member of staff, two part timers and a number of volunteers. Being that size and scale means that hopefully whatever contribution can be raised by staff at Eschmann will really make a difference to the important work carried out by the charity in the local area. There will hopefully also be the opportunity for staff, as appropriate, to be become involved in the some of the work undertaken by the Enable Me team.

"Police were called at 2:48 a.m. Friday to the Holiday Inn Riverwalk in the 200 block of North St. Mary.
A woman told police she met two UT players out partying overnight and invited them back to her room at the Holiday Inn. She later made the allegations of sexual assault to police.
Officers said University of Texas football coaches have been notified of the situation. The players have had initial talks with police and were expected to be further questioned by police sexual assault detectives Friday morning.
The names of the players have not been released, since no arrests have been made and no charges have been filed."
Texas head football coach Mack Brown is supposed to be taking part in an Alamo Bowl related press conference noon Friday. The investigation is still ongoing.
(UPDATE: According to KEYE sports directot Bob Ballou on Twitter, Mack Brown announced that the two players have been suspended and sent home. Their identities are still being kept anonymous.)

Grossmont senior quarterback Anthony Lawrence broke the San Diego Section career record for passing yards in Friday's win over West Hills. — Earnie Grafton
SANTEE First, Anthony Lawrence screamed.
"Yeahhhhhh," hollered the Grossmont High quarterback Friday night, his head tilted skyward as he crossed the Foothillers' sideline after tossing the 87th touchdown pass of his high school career.
Then, in keeping with his playful, dorky image, he nearly knocked over the 20-yard marker.
"My bad," he said to a ref.
The moment against West Hills hadn't registered, that he had become the San Diego Section's all-time passing yardage leader, but an assistant coach dropped the news.
"It's yours, 14," the coach said. "The record's yours."
Lawrence's reaction? He pressed a bandage against his cut chin, making sure it wouldn't fall off.
Grossmont routed West Hills 48-6, improving its record to 8-2 and strengthening its prospects of earning a top-four seed in the Division I playoffs. But the big picture, for one night, was focused on one player — Lawrence.
The 6-foot-1, 190-pound senior completed 20 of 25 passes for 280 yards and five touchdowns.
A starter since the first game of his sophomore season, Lawrence came into the game with 8,222 career yards passing.
The record was 8,269 by Palo Verde High's David Ortega (2004-2006). Now the record belongs to Lawrence: 8,502, and still counting.
Think about it. San Diego County has produced more than a few gifted quarterbacks: NFL MVP Brian Sipe, Mark Malone, Sean Salisbury. For you old-timers, there were Ezell Singleton, Billy Bolden and Joe Roth.
None threw for more yards as a prep than Lawrence.
When the names were rattled off to him earlier in the day as he chilled in the Grossmont coaches' office, Lawrence was humbled.
"It's unbelievable," he said. "It's crazy. They were all so great. To know I'll have more yards than them, it's thrilling."
His reaction after the game?
"I feel lucky," he said. "I feel privileged."
The memorable night began sluggishly for Lawrence. He completed just two of his first six passes. He bobbled a snap. He fumbled once. Nerves?
"Nah," he said. "We just came out slow."
Then the Foothillers put their no-huddle offense into hyper speed. From early in the second quarter until Lawrence exited late in the third quarter, he completed 18 of 19 for 261 yards and four TDs.
The one incompletion?
A Hail Mary at the end of the half.
He connected on slip screens, 10-yard outs, fades and deep crossing patterns. He connected on just about everything.
"He is really accurate," Valhalla coach Charles Bussey said.
Bussey should know. A couple of weeks ago, Lawrence completed 29 of 38 for 508 yards and six TDs against the Norsemen.
"He's a smart quarterback," Helix coach Troy Starr said. "I knew as a 10th-grader he (would) be a really good quarterback."
Lawrence is a quarterback in the truest sense of the word — reading defenses, often changing plays at the line of scrimmage.
"That's a lot to put on a kid's plate," Grossmont coach Tom Karlo said. "But he can handle it."
It helps that Lawrence is cerebral. His grade-point average is 4.29. He's one of the strongest players on the team, owning the team record in the power clean at 275 pounds.
The only thing he isn't is tall. Despite hanging upside down from a pole at night to try to grow taller, he's only 6-1. Karlo figures that's the only reason why his quarterback hasn't been offered a scholarship.
"It bugs me a little," Lawrence said.
He's popular with his teammates because his head hasn't swelled. He showed up at school Friday in pajama bottoms and his football jersey. He wore a wet suit to school on Halloween.

TERFEL If ever I would leave you 4576282
These settings of Alan Jay Lerner lyrics may not be his [Terfel's] native song but this archetypal romantic lyricism seems to have found a place in the Welshman's heart . . . Those who have the earlier Rodgers and Hammerstein CD will thrill once again at hearing songs sung in a way that is seldom heard in the theatre -- the sustaining of the melodic line, the word-painting, the dynamic range, sensibly modified now, and an often unexpected lightness of touch . . . As on his earlier disc Paul Daniel has such a natural affinity when accompanying Terfel with the English Northern Philharmonia that he might well have been conducting such music all his life . . . An exemplary recording and booklet-notes are further assets.
Terfel is virtually unique amongst opera singers in being able to cross over the road to the side labelled 'musicals' . . . He's simply a natural for the repertoire. It's partly a question of being able to utilise his tone positively, and without any suggestion of compromise, and partly an ability to achieve that tricky balance between speech and song that so many numbers here require.

Prickly pear cupcakes bring my week of prickly pear eating to a close. While I strongly preferred my prickly pear lemon bars to the prickly pear cupcakes, one friend said that I was doing something akin to comparing a sandwich to ravioli – they are too different to compare. Other friends couldn't weigh in on whether they liked the the prickly pear cupcakes better or worse than the the prickly pear lemon bars because I hoarded all of the lemon bars for myself! They did have some very positive things to say about the prickly pear cupcakes, though:
- "Heaven!"
- "I would definitely buy one if they were for sale somewhere."
- "The only thing that would make this better would be chocolate."
OK – those last two quotes were from the same person I talked about in the first paragraph – but they were good quotes. I had to use them.
The other quote that multiple people had, including myself, was that the prickly pear cupcakes were:
- "Generically fruity."
If I hadn't mentioned the fact that they contained prickly pear, people would not have been able to identify what the fruit flavor was.
The Prickly Pear Cupcake Recipe
The coolest thing about the prickly pear cupcake recipe was the bubblegum-pink batter. It was so fun! Too bad the cupcake didn't stay that color after baking. This is a Cupcake Project original recipe.
Prickly Pear Cupcakes
- 2 C flour
- 1 1/2 t baking powder
- 1/2 t baking soda
- 3/4 C butter room temperature
- 1 C + 3 T sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2/3 C plain yogurt
- 1/4 t lemon extract
- 1 t vanilla extract
- 1/3 C prickly pear juice You can easily make prickly pear juice with a prickly pear and a food processor or blender. Simply Recipes has a great tutorial on how to make prickly pear juice.
- 1/4 C lemon juice
- With a fork, whisk flour, baking powder, and baking soda in a bowl.
- Beat butter and sugar in a large bowl for 1 minute until light and fluffy.
- Beat in eggs, yogurt, and extracts until blended.
- Combine prickly pear juice and lemon juice in a small bowl.
- Alternately mix in the flour mixture and juice to the sugar/butter mixture in three additions, beginning and ending with flour.
- Fill cupcake liners 3/4 full.
- Bake at 350 F for about 25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out of the cupcake clean.
Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting with Prickly Pear Lemon Bars
You could top the prickly pear cupcakes with a basic lemon cream cheese frosting. That would be perfectly tasty. But, if you just happen to have some extra prickly pear lemon bars laying around, you can blend them and mix them into the frosting for added zing! That's what I did, and as you can see in the photo, the prickly pear lemon bars integrated into the frosting so well that no one even knew they were there.
Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting with Prickly Pear Lemon Bars
- 1 8 oz package of cream cheese room temperature
- 1/4 C butter room temperature
- 4 C powdered sugar sifted
- 1/2 t lemon extract
- 1 1/2 t prickly pear juice Optional. I only added this to give the frosting a mild pink color. It did not affect the taste at all. You could use food coloring or skip this entirely.
- 1 C pulverized prickly pear lemon bars Optional.
- Mix butter and cream cheese until light and fluffy.
- Add in powdered sugar one cup at a time. You can add more or less to get your desired level of sweetness and stiffness.
- Add lemon extract and, optionally, the prickly pear juice.
- If you choose to do so, mix in the prickly pear lemon bars. It could also be fun to sprinkle them on top.
Other Cupcakes With Prickly Pear and Lemon
I want to give a quick shout out to Keesha – The Prissy Cook. Keesha is a fellow prickly pear lover and cupcake baker. Around this time last year, Keesha made lemon cupcakes with prickly pear frosting. She was able to find a prickly pear syrup that made her frosting a gorgeous pink color. Be sure to check out her prickly pear cupcake post for a different take on the prickly pear lemon cupcake and also to read about her amusing tale of transporting cupcakes by bike.

Analysis: Enterprise password management tools have room to improve
Explore the differences between consumer and enterprise password management products and learn pros and cons about the latest tools.
While we all have too many passwords to deal with, few of us have the proper tools for promoting better password hygiene in our day-to-day working lives. Despite the variety of consumer-oriented products available, finding an enterprise password management product or tool can be quite difficult.
In this tip, we'll briefly examine the landscape of password management offerings and highlight the benefits and drawbacks of today's tools in an enterprise context.
After conducting a detailed analysis, I have concluded that these products basically fall into two categories.
The first group, let's call them Type A, consists generally of consumer tools that create a secure vault where users can store IDs and password data. From here, users can generate new and more complex passwords and have them automatically filled in at login times from a Web browser. These products are typically an outgrowth of the traditional endpoint security products from TrendMicro Inc., Kaspersky Lab, Symantec Corp.'s Norton division and others. For most of these, IT managers don't have any mechanism to manage the tool or to determine if users are actually storing anything in their vaults. A few of these vendors offer enterprise options, including LastPass Enterprise, SplashID and RoboForm Enterprise.
Most Type A tools offer three important capabilities: generating a random complex password to meet certain specifications, synchronizing a password vault in the cloud and supporting a variety of Web browser plug-ins to operate more smoothly with Software as a Service based services. Some also have versions that run on a variety of mobile devices and operating systems.
The synchronization feature is a significant one. Given the state of mobility today, it is important for users to be able to log in from office desktops, home PCs and smartphones. Having a single product that delivers the correct password to users' various devices is vital. Of course, this means trusting the password-synchronization service to encrypt login data and keep it secure. Some of the vendors, such as TrendMicro or LastPass, have their own cloud service while others, such as 1Password, rely on third-party services (in this case Dropbox or iCloud) to provide the connectivity. As the market stands now, RoboForm has the widest mobile OS support.
The pricing for Type A products varies dramatically: Trend Micro charges $15 per user per year, while RoboForm goes for a one-time fee of $5,000, but includes licenses for 50 users. The others fall in between.
The second category, Type B, is geared toward local resources such as corporate servers, databases and the like. These logins are typically shared among a group of network administrators, which makes them much easier for a hacker to exploit. Two of the tools I evaluated -- Lieberman's Enterprise Random Password Manager and Secret Server from Thycotic Software Ltd. -- aim to fortify privileged accounts and shared administrative access to critical local Windows and Linux servers.
These products, which discover and strengthen server passwords and then encrypt and store them in vaults, change passwords as often as your policies dictate. Lieberman also works with a variety of configuration management tools such as Microsoft System Center, HP Operations Center and Arcsight. Lieberman's entry-level price tag is a steep $25,000, but that includes unlimited users and accounts. Secret Server starts with a one-time payment of $2,500 plus $69 per user per year and an additional $550 annually in support fees.
One major problem users are likely to encounter occurs when a login screen is detected by the latest version Web browsers. These browsers automatically save the credentials users provide, which makes improving password hygiene more difficult because the third-party password management tool must first disable this service and then clean out previously stored passwords from the browser's files.
It should be noted that there is some loss of convenience when using mobile apps. For example some apps, such as LastPass, require an extra cut-and-paste step to copy the password from the vault to the app's login screen -- but isn't the added security worth it?
Here are a few final considerations and recommendations for those in search of an enterprise-caliber password management system:
- Look more closely at LastPass. The standalone version is free for individual desktop use or you can upgrade to the enterprise version, expand it to your mobile devices and add the management console at a price tag of $24 per user, per year.
- Understand what each tool stores in your vault. Some products, such as RoboForm and LastPass, provide this feature to keep everything encrypted and safe. Think of them as poor substitutes for whole disk encryption, but at least this offers some protection for the contents therein. (1Password can store the largest collection of items in its vault, including credit card numbers, text notes and software license information.)
- Does the product support your particular browser portfolio? Some products support older browsers or oddball ones -- make sure yours is included. (Kaspersky has the widest browser support.)
- Can they protect you from human errors? Some of the products have features that secure passwords further, such as automatically closing their vault after a certain amount of idle time, turning off auto-fill options on your browser or warning you of other dangerous security practices.
- Consider single sign-on (SSO) tools as an alternative. This is a more well-established market with a dozen different tools of its own that can strengthen your password collection and make it easier for users to keep track of business-oriented Web services. For more information, check out SearchSecurity's review of two SSO security products. I recommend also looking at my favorite SSO tool, Okta.

On the heels of its recent acquisition of Cilk Arts, Intel has acquired RapidMind products and technology, and the RapidMind founders, engineering team, and marketing team have joined Intel.
As described in RapidMind: C++ Meets Multicore, by RapidMind founders Stefanus Du Toit and Michael McCool, RapidMind is a framework for expressing data-parallel computations from within C++ and executing them on multicore processors. RapidMind was founded five years ago to commercialize a University of Waterloo programming system called Sh.
RapidMind says that it will continue to sell its platform and support existing customers. Details about the integration of the RapidMind platform and Intel software products and technologies, including the Intel Ct technology for data parallelism, will be announced later this year.
The RapidMind platform is based around the concept of data parallelism and not task parallelism ("multi-threading"). One advantage of data parallelism is that programs can be written without regard for the number of cores in the hardware target. Instead, the available parallelism is proportional to the amount of data, and the platform maps this onto the number of cores available. As data sets get larger, the amount of available parallelism grows, allowing applications to efficiently take advantage of any number of cores without recoding.
The RapidMind API works with existing C++ compilers. You just link to it as if it were a library. Therefore, you can use RapidMind with existing build systems and IDEs. Porting an application to a multicore processor with RapidMind is an incremental process. You first identify, using profiling tools, a section of the application which is consuming a large amount of execution time. The kernel of this "hotspot" can then be RapidMind-enabled by converting existing numerical and array types to their RapidMind equivalents, and using the RapidMind API to "capture" the computation. The RapidMind platform then maps the computation to a hardware target with any number of cores, offloading the main program. This process can be repeated as many times as necessary. Defining a multicore RapidMind computation is essentially as easy as defining a C++ function. Using RapidMind does not prevent using other programming techniques, tools, or libraries. To achieve results quickly, developers RapidMind-enable the more performance critical parts of their application. The remainder of their code is unaffected.
