A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Zebrahead - "Nudist Priest"
Zebrahead Strikes Again with New Video for "Nudist Priest"
Directed and produced by brothers Arthur and Jake Cauty of highly acclaimed UK production company De Cauze Films, "Nudist Priest" is the latest official music video for Californian punk-rockers Zebrahead. Taken from the band's 8th studio album Get Nice!, Nudist Priest was voted for by fans as the song they'd most like to see as the next official Zebrahead music video. The video premiered on December 19th, in association with BlankTV.
Drawing inspiration from bands such as Fugazi and Descendents, Zebrahead exploit pop-punk riffs, huge gang-choruses and trademark dual vocal leads in a fusion of punk rock, metal, funk, ska and rapcore. Their distinct, hard-hitting sound and vigorous live performances have captivated audiences across the globe, winning them legions of devoted fans the world over.
The Cauty brothers produced the video on a shoestring budget of just £535 (or $830 US Dollars), after launching a successful crowd funding campaign with IndieGoGo, the World's leading international funding platform, reaching out to Zebrahead fans across the globe for support. Shot in stunning high definition on the Get Nice! or Die Trying 2011 tour, the Cauty's video expertly captures the raw power and intensity of the band's dazzling live act.
Directors Arthur and Jake Cauty have worked with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry, including World record breaking electronic dance duo The Pet Shop Boys, and the larger-than-life wrestlers of the WWE, but "Nudist Priest" is their first music video for an American recording artist. Aged just 25 and 23 respectively, the Cauty brothers are already establishing themselves as two of the finest young talents in the UK's independent film and video production industries.

Some of thbsc who occasionally "davcn" there arc Eddie Cantor, George Jessel, Lou Holzman, Daiiiel yFrohman and David Warfield. It was sHggC5te<l the other day that the synagogue come forth from its ob¬ scurity—that the bright lights in Iront flash for instance: Eddie Cantor in SCHACHARITH (Morning Prayer) or Jessel in MINCHA And speaking of the stage did you know that one of the famous Roth¬ schild family. Baron Henri, of Paris, is a dramatist—and In addition to that a physician. His pen name is Andre Pascal, ' . Not that it has any relevancy iicre, but David Rcsnick, who does the piiblicity for the associations for the blind writes in to say that tears are very antiseptic for the eyes—that it has been proven scien¬ tifically that they are the best eye wash. So when your eyes afS troubling you —eat some onions or go to see a sad movie—or maybe just read this column, Anything that will provoke a good cry, It's healthy for the eyes. It may interest you to know that Haaretz, a leading Hebrew daily in Pal¬ estine has a sport page. . .:Aiid-that Matatc may mean umbrella, to you. At aiiy rate—that's what it means in Hebrew, but in Palestine its lh<y name of a theatre that has been proving quite a sensation. It goes iii for light take- offs of the current scene. ¦ .

Einstein is very proud of his sailing ability. It mi^ht have been it seems, "Admiral" Einstein. And oddly enough, Prof. Michelson, whose studies of light were the first prac¬ tical demonstration of the ¦relativity theory was trained for the navy. You reniber that story they told about Michel son who was a graduate of Annapolis. One day, after. Michelson hadj won the Nobel prize for his research on light mea.surements, he was met by an old buddie of his school days. "Too' bad that you didn't stick to the Navy. You might have been an Admiral by now," said the ex-school mate. Unofficial estimates give the present Jewish popidation of Palestine at 300,000. A total gf_ about 400 booHs were pub lished in P-alestine last year. For a 300,- OOO population, that's a pretty good record. It's more than one book per thousand, '" , If that proportion of books were pub¬ lished in the United Stateii—goodness gracious Jumping Jupiter!

One benefit to open-source applications is they can run on any operating system you want. But getting open-source software developed for the Mac is -- depending on whom you ask -- slow as molasses or quick as lightning. Mac expert Lisa Hoover collected several viewpoints. Which do you think is right?

I think I could be a stabilizing force on the council," former Ward 7 Councilman and State Representative Alfred Gemma says of his campaign to return to the City Council.
"I was very effective when I was on the council for six years and my constituent service is legendary," he said. "Ask anybody. I always helped people. I've got a tremendous record and I'm proud of it."
Gemma, who lives at 310 Natick Avenue, ran for mayor twice, the first time in 1990, and again in 2000. He served as State Representative for District 20 for seven years beginning in 2004, as well as councilman for three terms from 1992 to 1998. He decided not to run for council in 1998 because he wanted to devote more time to his newborn granddaughter, Caitlin Murphy, now 16.
But these days he's ready to get back on the council and is running as an independent. He faces incumbent Democrat Councilman Charles "C.J." Donovan and Bill Russo, a retired Warwick police officer, also running as an independent.
"I'm full of ideas and I've got a businessman's mind," Gemma said. "I think we're going to win, not because I'm arrogant, [but] because I'm humble. I've got a record and I've got all the proof."
That record is what he's basing his campaign on. He said some of his biggest accomplishments as councilman still have a positive impact on the city and its taxpayers.
Legislation he is most proud of includes a resolution he co-sponsored with then councilman Carlo Pisaturo, which involved getting then mayor Lincoln Chafee to agree to a $10 million sewer project in Nausauket. The resolution, he said, included the passing of a $130 million sewer bond issue.
Gemma said he's also proud of work he did to settle a 39-month strike with the Warwick Teachers Union in 1993. He co-sponsored a resolution to end the strike.
"I went out to talk to the kids, who all said they wanted to get back to school," Gemma said.
A few years later in 1995, he authored an ordinance relative to rescue service fees. The legislation established that Warwick residents are not responsible for footing the bill for calling a rescue. Instead, insurance companies are liable.
Not only does he feel this ordinance has saved lives, he said it also saves the city money. Since it was established, Gemma said it's generated more than $24 million.
"I'm so happy it is a permanent thing," he said. "Why should a poor old lady pay $400?"
Additionally, in 1996, he was the lead sponsor to a resolution that requested the Federal Aviation Administration to expedite the sound mitigation program.
Also, through the request of the late Superintendent of Schools Bob Shapiro, Gemma said he helped lobby for an auditorium at Toll Gate High School. He was successful and the facility was named after Shapiro.
Gemma said he successfully advocated for all-purpose rooms and cafeterias at elementary schools throughout the city, including John Brown Francis, Sherman, Lippitt, Holliman, Rhodes, John Wickes and Scott, as well as a handicap elevator at Gorton Junior High.
And while the Warwick Station Development District Master Plan was made official this year, Gemma said his efforts in 1998 helped make it possible, as he voted in favor of an ordinance that sought to establish the plan.
"I pushed for that," he said.
Other legislation he "pushed for" includes the recording of all council meetings and the numbering of lines within official city documents.
"We used to say, 'The line about an inch from the bottom,'" he said. "I said, 'Why don't we do what the General Assembly does and number all the stuff?'"
To support his record as a past councilman, Gemma provided the Warwick Beacon with a letter written by Chafee in 1996. At that time, Chafee was Warwick's mayor.
Within the letter, Chafee wrote, "Fighting to preserve our neighborhoods, tax relief for the elderly and handicapped, improvements to youth athletic facilities, school renovations, protecting our rights to the shore – Al Gemma is there for the people of Ward 7 when it counts."
Gemma, who owns and operates Gemma's Auto Body, a family business started by his father in 1960, is the first independent council member in the history of Warwick. In the past, he has run as both a Democrat and Republican.
He enrolled at Brown University when he was 17 on a scholarship from Mount Pleasant High School, where he graduated in 1956. Though he never finished college, he went on to work at his father's auto body shop, which he now operates in Apponaug.
By 1959, he joined the Army and was honorably discharged as a private first class in 1961. When he returned, he and his older brother, Ray, decided to open the body shop in East Greenwich. He independently relocated to Providence in 1976, and then to Warwick in 1992.
"I wanted to do a good job on the council so I moved my business here," Gemma said. "When people would call, I would run out the door and go to their house. I was Johnny On the Spot all the time. I got it done. I followed things right to their conclusion and my wife, Ann, was right there. My wife has never gotten the credit she deserves. She's been great."
Gemma, who was born in Providence but has lived in the Greenwood section of Warwick since 1969, has been married for 48 years and said Ann went to every single council meeting during his time on the council. He said she also attended many meetings at the State House when he served as State Rep.
"She missed no more than eight or nine meetings in seven years," he said. The couple has three children, plus one grandchild.
To prepare for the election, Gemma has been walking the ward, as well as regularly attending council meetings. He believes the upcoming election on Nov. 6 is vitally important, especially because of the fragile economy and the state's high unemployment rate of 11 percent.
"[We need] to elect the most experienced and dedicated individuals to represent us at every level of government," he said. "I believe I am that person. Because politics has become so divisive and angry of late, I believe that it is time for a change to end this self-interest and division. My only interest is in you, the taxpayer, who bears the weight of the cost of government."

For further information users should refer to the final report, which is available from the National Criminal Justice Reference Service, the clearinghouse for the National Institute of Justice. Methodology Study Purpose View help for Study Purpose This study contains data on persons arrested for burglary or armed robbery in New Orleans during 1973-1986. This combination of local, state, and federal arrest records, along with local and state custody records, provides a more complete criminal history database for researchers than previously available. In particular, the inclusion of local custody records allows the measurement of actual jail time served, including readmissions for probation and parole violations. It is hoped that the inclusion of jail incarceration data significantly improves the estimation of an incapacitation effect. Study Design View help for Study Design Arrest information was compiled using data from three databases. MOTION is a regional arrest history system used by New Orleans Police Department (NOPD) personnel that records all nonfederal arrests made by five nonfederal agencies in New Orleans. The NOPD juvenile division enters all juvenile arrests for New Orleans only into the MOTION system. FINDEX is the Louisiana Department of Public Safety (State Police) state and national arrest history system that records all arrests made in Louisiana for which a fingerprint card has been submitted and accepted, and includes FBI rap sheet information on out-of-state arrests prior to the last recorded Louisiana FINDEX arrest. Commitment charges for juveniles in other parishes from the JIRMS system, the corrections information system used by the Louisiana Department of Corrections Juvenile Division, are used in lieu of arrest data. Custody information was drawn from CAJUN, STARS, and JIRMS data. CAJUN, the Louisiana Department of Corrections adult penitentiary and probation/parole information system, indentifies individuals by a state identification number (SID#). Multiple incarcerations are maintained under a single number. The New Orleans Criminal Sheriff Department jail information management system, STARS, maintains records at the incarceration event level so that each record represents a single term of jail incarceration. STARS includes a "TYPE" field which indicates the charge status of the individual at the time of release. The following series of procedures was performed to link databases, to identify all criminal justice contacts for an individual, and to reduce false negative errors while holding false positive errors to a minimum: (a) STARS records were matched to MOTION-identified individuals with computer algorithms, and then MOTION records were searched to identify duplicates. A unique case number was subsequently assigned to each individual identified through the matching procedures. (b) CAJUN master records were matched to study database records. (c) The study database was then matched to FINDEX. The CAJUN and MOTION databases were searched for a SID# and added to the study database. Then the appropriate FINDEX records were linked to the study database. Further matches were made using the combinations of FBI#, SSN#, name, race, sex, and date of birth used in the MOTION-to-STARS matching process. (d) JIRMS was then matched to FINDEX and the study database. Juvenile records were matched using name, race, sex, and date of birth. Transitional charge and custody files were created, merging the five databases based on the links established by the matching procedures. Of the final sample of 22,561 offenders, 18,734 had FINDEX records, 11,203 had CAJUN records, and 722 had JIRMS records. The Charge Data file (Part 4) was created with information from the MOTION, FINDEX, and JIRMS databases, and the Custody Data file (Part 5) was compiled with data from the CAJUN, STARS and JIRMS systems.

Top US Mideast commander quits
Washington, March 12, 2008
The top US commander for the Iraq and Afghanistan wars said he would quit after a magazine reported he was pushing President George W Bush to avoid war with Iran.
Adm William 'Fox' Fallon, head of the US Central Command headquarters responsible for the Middle East, insisted he did not disagree with the Bush administration over Iran but perceptions of a rift made it difficult for him to do his job.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates dismissed suggestions that Fallon's departure made war with Iran more likely.
'The notion that this decision portends anything in terms of a change in Iran policy is ... ridiculous,' Gates said.
'Admiral Fallon reached this difficult decision entirely on his own,' Gates said at the Pentagon.
'I believe it was the right thing to do, even though I do not believe there are, in fact, significant differences between his views and administration policy.'
The Bush administration says its policy is to use diplomacy to resolve differences with Iran, particularly over Tehran's nuclear program, but it will not rule out military action.
Washington and other Western nations say Iran is trying to develop the capability to build nuclear weapons. Iran says its program is to produce energy. Fallon's headquarters in Tampa, Florida, oversees US operations in 27 countries, including Iraq and Afghanistan.
The first Navy officer to serve as Central Command chief, 63-year-old Fallon has been in the post for just under a year. Gates accepted his request to retire at the end of the month.
Fallon is known as a tough, plain-speaking commander but also has a reputation for favoring dialogue. He pursued good relations with China when he headed US Pacific Command.
Titled 'The Man Between War And Peace,' the Esquire article that led to his resignation described him as challenging the White House and urging restraint on Iran.
Fallon cooperated with the author during the article's preparation but strongly criticised the story after it appeared, describing it as 'poison pen stuff.'
Gates said the perception that Fallon was at odds with the administration was not linked just to the article. 'We have tried between us to put this misperception behind us over a period of months and, frankly, just have not been successful in doing so,' he said. - Reuters

I've been in Eugene, Oregon for a few weeks now, so I suppose it's time to post another update. I've got pics this time! Given that the updates over the last few months have been nothing but big walls of text, I figured it was about time. I'm staying in a little cabin up on a hill just outside the south side of town. The lady who owns the cabin has a lot of improvement projects for her land going on, so I've been able to earn a little extra income by helping with that. Also, there are sheep! Well, and llamas and cows and chickens, but the sheep are the focus of the last part of this post.
When I was making my plans to come out west, I figured I was leaving at a decent time. It was the end of April, and I figured that meant colleges were going to be wrapping up classes soon and a ton of apartments would be coming onto the market as the students went home for the summer. Come to find out, though, the big school out here in Eugene doesn't wrap up classes until mid-June. How they can manage to keep students' attention that long is a mystery to me (my guess is that they don't.) However, it also means that housing wasn't as readily available as I had hoped.
Fortunately, a friend of mine from my museum exhibit job pointed me to a listing on a website called www.airbnb.com where people list rooms or properties they have available for people to stay in. The listing was for a "small, cute, rustic country cabin." Not only was it pretty close to town, it also offered a cheap monthly rate AND allowed dogs! Given that living in small spaces isn't really a problem for me (and is actually preferred at this point) I went ahead and contacted the owner.
The lady who owns the place, Michele, built the cabin and stayed in it while she worked on her main home. She asked me (and Barney) to come out and see the place before we agreed on anything, not only to see if we liked it but also to see if she was okay with us. That makes sense, as the cabin is pretty close to the main home, and if you're going to have someone basically living out your front door for a month, it's best to make sure it's not a person with whom you'll constantly be butting heads. So, we checked it out.
It was cute, as you can see. There's a little 2-burner stove and a microwave for cooking, a good kitchen sink, a fair amount of storage for all the stuff I brought, and (most importantly) a wifi connection. Also, it has a pretty view out of the front windows.
The property is up on a hill overlooking a nearby community college. There's an overgrown orchard one one side, lots of trees all around, an llamas (llamas!) out the back. The llamas belong to the neighbors, though. All Michele had at that time were chickens and a dog. Had, mind you - that past tense is important.
So after I unloaded my car Michele started filling me in on all of what there is to do around town, and what kind of places I might want to check out, where the deals were, and stuff like that. She was VERY helpful! She also seemed to have a LOT of projects going on at her property. I noticed a garden pond liner leaning up against the cabin, and she said she was planning on hiring someone to put a pond in near the house. Given that I already had pond-installing experience from the one my folks and I put in a few summers ago, we both figured I would be an excellent candidate for the job.
This, of course, led to a few other jobs, including bracing and filling a planter on the side of the cabin...
...and putting up a some fencing and installing a few gates.
What were all those gates and fencing for, you ask? Sheep! Michele wanted to get sheep for her property, and knew of a person nearby who had two sheep she wanted to get rid of. Perfect match, right? The one problem, though, were that we had to catch and transport the sheep ourselves. Also? The sheep were wild, had big 'ol horns, and hadn't been shorn in over 2 years. They were not about to come willingly. Fortunately, we had some help.
You know, for big, bounding piles of fluff, those sheep can sure be pretty agile! We had the help of the sheep owner's son and his friend, though, so we were finally able to pin them down. Surprisingly, once we caught them, the sheep weren't that difficult to manage. I was expecting more of a struggle out of them. Of course, I grew up in a suburb where the largest fauna we would encounter would be an exceptionally well-fed squirrel, so my knowledge of sheep and their habits is woefully limited.
In the end, it was the owner's son who tackled both sheep, but I take credit for grabbing one by the horns, lifting its chin, and getting it to walk forward. I even got it to leap over a ditch while still keeping it under control! Thank you, Internet, for your reams of expertise! We loaded the sheep up into dog kennels (which look too small for those sheep until you realize that you can stick your hand into them darn near up to your ELBOW and still not reach their bodies because of all the wool,) and took them back to the property.
On the way back, Michele and I were talking about how the two of us were going to get them out of the truck by ourselves. I didn't feel like it was a big concern. They looked huge, but didn't feel as heavy as I thought they would. Michele was still worried, but I felt confident. In retrospect, I guess I had it coming.
We were able to get the kennel out of the truck without any problems, and we used a dolly to wheel the first one over to the enclosure. We dropped it off the wheels and I bent over to lift the front edge over the board along the bottom of the gate. Michele, still concerned, spoke up:
"Be careful that you don't throw out your..."
...yeah. I'm sure you know what happened just then. JUST as I got it over the board, and JUST as she said it, I threw out my back. No standing, no bending, no kneeling for me... just lying on the ground in the fetal position for the next few minutes. Now, I've thrown out my back before. Twice before, actually, so this isn't new territory for me. It doesn't make it any easier to handle at the moment, though. Anyone who's thrown out their back knows that it takes a couple days for decent mobility to return, and even then it's still weak for a while.
And, honestly, I kinda had it coming. I was being stupid about it. Instead of getting down on my knees to take the stress off of my back, I just bent over and tried to lift a crate-full of sheep. It was my own fault, and I realize it. Fortunately, Michele's neighbor was home and was able to help get the second sheep out of the truck. He, also, was much smarter about it than I was. I just concentrated on standing for a while (which actually required more concentration than you'd imagine) and eventually worked my way up to sitting.
But now there are sheep nearby! I haven't been of much use around the property for the last few days, but I have been able to feed them. The grayer of the two is a male named "Shrek," and he has trimmed horns that angle straight toward his eyes. He's pretty docile and will come right up to me when I have food. He hasn't eaten out of my hand yet, though. The other, browner sheep is "Fiona." I'm guessing the previous owner was a Dreamworks fan. Either way, Fiona is much more nervous and will only approach after Shrek has already eaten and after I haven't moved for a good 10 minutes. Even then she won't come as near as Shrek will. I think she's still scared - it's been a bit of an ordeal for them!
But there we have it; that's how life's been for me for the past couple of weeks. Hopefully later, after my back recovers, I'll be able to post more.
Re: Positive change
Ah well, there you go. I am happiest when I have a lot of projects too. I should have known... really. I guess most of we Tiny Housers are basically people who love to have a life that is interesting and filled with things to do.
I am off to THO today and will stay on with the dog pack and Baby. I am not sure what I will accomplish there this time, but I imagine that stuff will get done.
Besta the best,

Mary Cochran
Chair and Artistic Director of the Dept. of Dance at Barnard College of Columbia University, Mary Cochran has performed and taught on every continent except Antarctica. Ms. Cochran's professional career began at eighteen as a member of Nikolais Dance Theatre from 1981-1983 and continued as a soloist with Paul Taylor Dance Company from 1984-1996. She has been critically praised as "an interpreter of Paul Taylor's work who absorbs technique into her bones," a "blithe spirit, weaver of magic, quintessential muse," and "a star, indeed." She continued her association with Paul Taylor after leaving the company completing 22 restagings of his masterworks. In 1998 and 1999, Ms. Cochran was the Director of Taylor 2 creating and implementing innovative outreach programs around the country. Ms. Cochran has also performed in highly theatrical works by Sara Hook and creates and performs her own movement-based monologues. Prior to arriving at Barnard, Ms. Cochran taught at numerous colleges and conservatories including Mills College, Harvard, University of Michigan, and the North Carolina School of the Arts. At Barnard, Ms. Cochran has begun collaborative projects between Barnard and NYC cultural institutions such as Dance Theater Workshop (now NY Live Arts), City Center, Symphony Space, WAX, the Brooklyn Museum, and Dance New Amsterdam, and companies such as Susan Marshall & Company and Shen Wei Dance Arts, among others. She completed her M.F.A. at University of Wisconsin, Milwaukee in the spring of 2005.

Ok I've put a lot of thought into this and I want to make a gameplay revision to this map. At the time I created this, it was my first map, not only did I have less experience creating a balanced map, I may have been over eager to get it into general play before working out all the kinks.
I've noticed a trend in games that I believe is problematic but can be fixed. Depending on the number of players and how lucky they are someone can take the whole Eastern half of the map in the first 4-6 turns. By doing this he either assures victory or makes himself the target for all the remaining players. This is undesirable because it doesn't create very dynamic games and limits the re-playability of the map. I believe that by adding an extra sea connection to the Tytherian bonus the extra border will limit the dependability of the Eastern half of the map, make it harder to hold, and therefore a more dynamic region.
I have chosen the Territory Hellengar because from there you can enter 2 different bonuses, and it would seem like a logical and strategic place to stack troops regardless of an added sea connection. I connected it to Illarulia because a player holding Lyalia would probably be defending that already, so the impact of the Western half of the map is minimal. As well I decided to move the Island Solaria to act as a buffer between these two bonuses. As well as acting as a buffer it was pretty much a useless region in it's old location, being that it was completely out of the way.
I believe these changes will make this a more fun, and all 'round better map.

Where do you buy it and which kind is the best? How much do you take?
I bought it in powder form from a site my SIL recommended. My first jar is running low and this time I want to order capsule/pill form as the powder tastes awful! The problems: this company only makes powder form so I can't make a straight switch and keep using the same brand AND I don't know how many mg I've been taking. I take 1tsp in warm milk 3-4 x per day, but the product doesn't say how many mg per dose, so when I switch to pills how much should I take?
Thanks for any help! My IBCLC wouldn't recommend the shatavari, but my SIL's LC did, and she swears by it. So I've been taking it for several weeks and feel the need to continue as my supply has increased a little bit.

I have an N-90 body that melted in my car. I have a 28-70 zoom, a 105 Micro, and a 70-210 D? zoom for it, all in perfect shape.
Is there an inexpensive digital body I can buy to use these lenses - doesn't have to be the latest stuff.
Also, I don't know how to compare 35mm to digital focal lengths so I really don't know what I have.Many thanks - Rick

#16 David Boudia
David Boudia breaks U.S. drought with Olympic platform diving gold
David Boudia shocked the diving community with an Olympic gold medal performance in the 10-meter platform event. His score of 568.65 was good enough for U.S. Diving's first Olympic gold since Greg Louganis won his second consecutive title at the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.
Boudia barely qualified for the semifinals by finishing in 18th place during the preliminary round. He then put together a solid semifinal round leading into an inspired final six dives. His performance was a major upset over Chinese diver Qui Bo who finished with the silver. The exciting final also included a surprising bronze medal for Great Britain's Tom Daley.
Boudia's gold medal added to his previous bronze medal performance in the 10-meter synchro platform event with teammate Nick McCrory. Earlier this summer, Boudia talked to Inspiring Athletes about his spiritual transformation and how his faith in Christ had radically changed his outlook on diving and on life.
"In 2008, diving was my god," he said. "It was a forced competition. I needed to do well there if I wanted to do well later in life. But for this Olympics, I'm enjoying every moment, day by day because tomorrow's not guaranteed…God is providing this platform so He can reveal Himself."

All software used in Fedora Infrastructure is Free Software. When we develop applications for Fedora Infrastructure, we have to license them under a free software license to continue to meet this goal. However, with each application, we have to choose one particular license and that means we need to think about how our choices will influence our ability to share code with each other. This page gives guidance on making licensing choices that will expand the amount of free software while causing us the least pain when we want to share code with each other.
- Be able to share code among the various pieces we write.
- Not have our libraries force a specific license on the apps that we write.
- Not have conflicting licenses between our apps and our libraries
- Have a clear understanding of the steps we must take whenever we want to move code from an application under one license to a library under a different one.
- Protect the code we write from being taken proprietary (note, this is not the same for every author. Mirrormanager, for instance, is under the MIT/X11 License).
Preferred Licenses
In general, Fedora Infrastructure has chosen to use the family of GNU Public Licenses in order to keep the software free. The particular licenses chosen aim to make the software compatible with as much software as possible while still keeping this goal.
The preferred license for web applications written for Fedora Infrastructure is AGPLv3+. This license protects the web application from being taken proprietary as it covers the use of the application as a service provider, not just redistribution of the modified software.
The preferred license for python modules and other libraries is LGPLv2+. This lets us use the library with applications with different licenses like MIT and not force the application as a whole to fall under the GPL.
The preferred license for scripts and non-web applications that we write is GPLv2+. This lets our code be used in both GPLv2 and GPLv3 code bases.
Note that working with upstreams that have their own licenses or needs of the community that will be using the software can lead to different licensing choices on a case-by-case basis. This guidance is meant to make life easier for us as we develop code while supporting the expansion of free software. We must be flexible when a different license is better for growth of free software.
- All web apps written for Fedora Infrastructure should be AGPLv3+ unless there's a compelling reason not to.
- All python modules written for fedora Infrastructure should be LGPLv2+ unless there's a compelling reason not to.
- Web apps written for Infrastructure but not falling under the AGPLv3+ must be code-sharable with this but do not need to be the same license (ie: MIT, BSD, Public Domain, are okay for either libraries or apps. GPLv2 and GPLv3 web apps are okay. LGPLv2 or LGPLv2+ libraries are okay).
- Authors of applications can be asked to shift code into modules which requires relicensing to LGPLv2+. In general we want to do this even though it might take code to a more permissive license as having it in a library is being done to promote sharing of code.
- Except in exceptional cases, we will not relicense if the author disagrees with the change in license.
- All hotfixes to web apps running on the server needs to be made available under the AGPLv3+ so that users can get the code that we're actually running. We still need to discuss the best method of making this happen (a branch in source control for precisely what's running at any given time? hotfixes distributed by puppet and also uploaded to a web site? No hotfixes, we must update the rpm or tarball anytime we make a fix?)
- Can the authors of a work relicense their code at will?
- For Red Hat employees, the answer is "Within reason." For instance, moving code you've written from an application under the AGPLv3 to a library under the LGPLv2 is allowed as it keeps similar protections for the code itself and is necessary for the adoption of the library. For others, your terms of employment may differ. However, do note that as a Fedora contributor you've signed the CLA which says that when making contributions you have the right to grant a very broad license to your work so if your employer doesn't let you change the license on your work, be sure they allow you to sign the CLA!
- Can Fedora relicense code under the CLA?
- Yes, if you did not explicitly put your submission under a license when you contributed it to us, the present version of the CLA allows the Fedora Project to release the code under a different license at a later date. This allows for things such as relicensing code from GPLv2 to AGPLv3+ for web applications or GPLv2 to LGPVv2+ for libraries if the original contributor disappears. It can allow us to relicense the code without your consent but please note the following:
- The Fedora Project does not own the copyright to your code, only a license to it. If you wish to take your code and do things with that copy that is not a contribution to Fedora, you are free to do so as the Copyright remains yours.
- Per this policy, Fedora Infrastructure is not going to relicense your code against your wishes unless there's a compelling reason. At the least, this means the reasons for and against would be discussed publically in Fedora Infrastructure meetings and/or mailing lists.
- Per Infrastructure Policy, all of Fedora Infrastructure is built on Free Software. Fedora Infrastructure will not ask to relicense your code to a proprietary license.
- Yes, if you did not explicitly put your submission under a license when you contributed it to us, the present version of the CLA allows the Fedora Project to release the code under a different license at a later date. This allows for things such as relicensing code from GPLv2 to AGPLv3+ for web applications or GPLv2 to LGPVv2+ for libraries if the original contributor disappears. It can allow us to relicense the code without your consent but please note the following:
- GPLv2 and AGPLv3/GPLv3 are incompatible for combining and linking in compiled languages. How does that work in dynamic languages?
- The answer to this is a bit complex. If you're comfortable, the simple guidance is "It shouldn't be a problem unless you're copying code." If you need more information, please talk to spot with a specific example.
- With code licensed under the AGPLv3, do we need to link/be able to distribute to people the exact code that is part of the applications? ie: if we hotfix something on the server, do we need to distribute the hotfix as well?
- Yes. This means that we need to work out a policy for distributing the code that we are running on Fedora Infrastructure even when we want to hotfix something.
- Does distributing hotfixes to AGPL apps extend to libraries that the app depends on?
- No.

This morning I received a reply in response to a previous blog post, one in which I had talked about Martin and music. This reader pointed out that a Phyllis Naylor book, one of her "Alice" series, was dedicated to "Martin Small"...and, knowing that Phyllis and I are friends, the reader wondered if that could be "my" Martin. Indeed it was. Martin had helped her out with some chamber music information for that book (and Ithink she named a musician character for him)
Later, my brother, a doctor, provided some "field amputation" information to Phyllis for a book called "Blizzard." So Jon (who actually did once have to amputate a leg caught in a farm tractor) is in the acknowledgements.
Later still, Phyllis allowed me to use an old family photograph in my book "The Silent Boy," which is illustrated with old photos. So she appears in the acknowledgements, along with her husband (whose family photo it actually was).
Earlier, and just to show that it isn't only Phyllis and me who play this back-and-forth game, I dedicated a book, "The One Hundredth Thing about Caroline", to Michael Small from People Magazine. Michael, who was Martin's nephew, appeared (with his permisison, and People's legal staff's permisison) in the book....
...and so it goes. Two of the second graders in the Gooney Bird series (Beanie and Chelsea) are named for my granddaughter and the illustrator's granddaughter.
I imagine almost every writer in the world has named book characters for people they know, or are related to. And of course then there are the innocent coincidences, like the time I named Anastasia Krupnik's nerdy friend Robert Giannini...and then heard from the Rev. Robert Giannini, who ws not at all upset, just curious.
Speaking of names. Two friends have newborn grandsons. One is named Dash. The other Milo. I have known golden retrievers with both those names.

Baltimore police officer Kendell Richburg pleaded not guilty to federal drug charges Tuesday, as his attorney said the accusations are linked to "relatively benign" actions surrounding his use of confidential informants.
"It's nothing close to selling drugs, or giving the confidential informant drugs to sell or anything of that nature," the attorney, Warren A. Brown, said after the hearing. "Whatever behavior he engaged in it was designed to enhance public safety, it was designed to get guns off the street, and sometimes it was designed to please the Police Department."
Richburg, 36, appeared in court Tuesday in a olive drab detention center uniform. He entered his plea as members of his family watched, and agreed to return to jail for the time being.
A federal grand jury returned an indictment against Richburg last Thursday, which was unsealed the following day. Prosecutors accuse Richburg of being part of an armed conspiracy to distribute heroin, crack, cocaine and marijuana between June 2011 and October 2012.
Police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi called any suggestion that the department condoned Richburg's behavior "absolutely ridiculous."
"We're a family that prides itself on public service, and what those allegations did is embarrass everyone who wears the police uniform," he said.
Internal affairs officers at the Baltimore department worked to build the case with the FBI.
Brown contrasted Richburg's case with those of other Baltimore officers who have faced federal charges, pointing to Daniel Redd, who was convicted last year of dealing drugs in the parking lot of the Northwestern District police station.
"I think this is a matter of interpretation as opposed to a question about this officer engaging in ... bona fide criminal behavior for his own sake," Brown said. "It's kind of difficult ... for the officers to play strictly by the rules when their opponent is not, so you've got to kind of get down and dirty at times to achieve certain goals when it comes to interdicting criminal behavior."
Brown had previously represented Richburg in a 2003 Baltimore County arson threat case. The charges were ultimately dropped.
Richburg is a 13-year veteran of the department, police said, and was assigned to the Northwest District's special enforcement section, which handles violent crime.
Mark Cheshire, a spokesman for the Baltimore state's attorney's office, said prosecutors have made no decisions on whether Richburg's indictment will affect cases that he worked on. He is named in at least 41 active cases, according to online court records.
"We will conduct a thorough review of the cases in which the officer is involved, and make decisions on how to proceed on a case-by-case basis," he said.
