Newly installed Secretary of Technology Leonard Pomata will succeed temporarily as state CIO.
Lemuel Stewart, CIO of Virginia, who helped shepherd the largest state IT outsourcing contract, was fired yesterday.
Stewart was fired from his position as director of the Virginia Information Technologies Agency (VITA) by its oversight panel after he questioned a multimillion dollar invoice from Northrop Grumman, the computer company charged with running the state's major IT systems, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Stewart's dismissal comes as the state's IT agency has come under scrutiny for administrative and financial questions and was criticized for the recent hacking of computerized prescription records at the state's Department of Health Professions.
Stewart was not available for comment, according to various press reports.
According to the Times-Dispatch, the deal with Northrop Grumman has been criticized by some legislators and state employees as costly and inefficient. Most recently, VITA reported a $6.2 million budget deficit. Stewart told the oversight board that his agency was unable to fully pay the contractor, which he said was "not meeting [its] contractual obligations," and that its invoices to the state are documented insufficiently.
Northrop Grumman has a 10-year, $2.3 billion contract to manage the state's IT systems and services, according to the newspaper.
No reason was given by the oversight board for Stewart's firing.

It must be the rarefied air in Government House, the governor's mansion in Annapolis, that inspires such notions in second term governors of Maryland. In January of 2002, Parris Glendening urged the Maryland General Assembly to end the AIDS epidemic in Africa. Now, in July of 2013, Martin O'Malley commands the citizens of Maryland to change the weather ("O'Malley steps up climate agenda," July 26).
The frightening part is that they may actually believe this malarkey. Or, if they don't believe it, that they are so cynical as to foist it upon the public for their own political gain.

SuomiM/31 submachine gun with 71-round drum magazine, standard version
Suomi M/32 "tank" or"pillbox" submachine gun with 50-round 4-row magazine, no butt andspecial barrel jacket
Suomi M37-39 submachine gun with short barrel, produced under license in Sweden by Husqvarna Vapenfabrik (original M37 weapons were chambered for 9x20mm Browning Long ammunition, modified M37-39 - for 9x19mm Luger ammunition)
Suomi M/26 submachine gun, caliber 7,65x22 Parabellum
Patent diagrams explaining (left to right) 40 and 71 round drums designed by Lahti and 50-round box magazine designed by Schillstrom
The Suomi ("Finland") submachine gun was developed by Finnish arms designer Aimo Lahti in 1920-1930 period. First prototype was built by 1922, and by 1926 Lahti produced a working weapon, chambered for then-standard Finnish army's 7,65x22 Luger / Parabellum ammunition. Definitive version of the Suomi submachine gun was adopted by Finnish Army in 1931 as Suomi-KP Model 1931, or simply KP-31 (KP stands for Konepistooli - Automatic Pistol in Finnish language). Suomi submachine gun was manufactured by Finnish company Tikkakoski Oy, and licensed to Denmark (Madsen), Sweden (Husqwarna) and Switzerland (Hispano Suiza). Used mostly by Finnish and Sweden armies, it was also widely exported into Baltic countries, some European and South American countries. Suomi was used with great success during Winter War of 1940 against Soviet Union, when, wisely used, this SMG showed to the world the importance of the submachine guns to the modern warfare. Manufacture of the Suomi was ceased in Finland in 1944, but it was used well until the 1990s, when finally rendered obsolete and replaced in Army by assault rifles.Suomi submachine gun is a blowback operated, selective fire weapon. It fires from the open bolt, and used so called "differential locking" or "advanced primer ignition" principle, when fixed firing pin ignites the primer BEFORE the bolt stops on its way forward into the battery, so the bolt momentum of inertia is used to lock the chamber during the initial phase of shot, when pressure in the chamber is high. The bolt and receiver were machined from high quality steel and bolt was fitted to the receiver almost airtight. The rear cover of the receiver was screwed on to it also almost hermetically. This was necessary to achieve a fire rate reduction by using a simple vacuum valve in the receiver cover - when bolt moved back, the valve let the air out easily from the space behind the bolt. When bolt started to move forward, the valve closed itself, so difference of air pressures behind the bolt and in atmosphere slowed the bolt on its way forward into the battery.The charging handle was somewhat similar in appearance to one found on bolt action rifles; it is located behind and below the receiver, and does not move when gun was fired. The safety - fire selector is located at the front of trigger guard, and gun could be fired in semi-auto or in full-autoAnother interesting feature was the quick-detachable barrel and barrel jacket. This feature, more adequate to machine guns, was a welcome during intensive fire-fights, when many hundreds of shots were fired in fully automatic mode. Sometimes the barrel was also fitted with machined muzzle brake / compensator.Suomi was fed from box or drum magazines. Box magazines were conventional staggered-column ones for 20 rounds or twin-staggered-column magazines for 50 rounds each (also known as "Coffin magazines" due to their shape, these could be described as two staggered-column magazines clipped together and having common cartridge exit). Drum magazines held 40 (rarely encountered early versions) or 71 rounds and later inspired Russians to adopt drum magazines for their PPD and PPSch SMGs. In mid-1950s Finnish army also adopted 36-round magazine, designed in Sweden for M/45 Carl Gustaf submachine gun, and Suomi submachine guns were slightly modified to accept those magazines.
In general, the Suomi KP-31 was a highly effective, reliable and accurate gun, but too expensive to manufacture.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My 29-year-old wife was recently diagnosed with Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma, Stage IIIb. She's undergone TAH/BSO, was found to be ER/PR positive, and is currently taking Megace 160mg q d. The final grade was determined to be LOW. I can find very little in the literature about ESS and premenopausal patients. Can you give me some information?
Stephen C. Rubin, MD, Professor and Chief of the Division of Gynecologic Oncology, University of Pennsylvania Health System, responds:
Endometrial stromal sarcoma is a rare malignancy that develops from the supporting (stromal) cells of the uterine lining (endometrium). It is quite unusual to see it in a premenopausal woman. The outlook depends on both the stage (where it is in the body) and the grade (the way it looks under the microscope). Many gynecologic oncologists would recommend radiation therapy for women with early endometrial stromal sarcomas, and hormonal treatment with a progestational agent such as Megace is often recommended as well.

(NAPSI) - If you have regular conference calls at work, you know how frustrating, time consuming and expensive they can be. It's a simple concept, yet major teleconferencing services still haven't been able to fix the outdated aspects that make regular teleconferences so difficult.
Work is about getting things done, and with the state of conference calling today, that isn't always easy.
UberConference is a complete conference calling solution, compatible with any device, and conference calls can be created instantly or scheduled on the go. With its groundbreaking service, UberConference is transforming teleconferencing, making meetings more simple and more productive for businesses—and ditching the dreaded PIN for good.
"Everyone's experienced the pain of conference calls, ranging from forgetting ridiculously long PINs to not knowing who's on a call to noise in the background," said Craig Walker, CEO and co-founder of UberConference. "With UberConference, callers get an elegant dashboard view of who's on the call, who's speaking, and even additional information about people on the call. All easily accessed with the click of a button. We've not only simplified teleconferencing—we've significantly improved it."
Never Run Late Again
There is no need to download or install anything to use UberConference. You can even dial in to an HD audio UberConference right from your Chrome browser. Have a conference call scheduled weekly? UberConference will dial out to participants so all they need to do is answer their phone to join.
PIN Numbers Gone For Good
UberConference is the first conference calling solution that doesn't ever require PIN numbers to access a conference. With UberConference Pro, participants are authenticated based on their caller ID, no matter how they join the call. Never again will you need to memorize a complicated PIN number or password.
Finally, A Price That Makes Sense
At only $10 per month for unlimited minutes, calls and recordings, UberConference saves companies 80 to 90 percent on the money they spend on other teleconferencing services. There are no hidden fees, and local dial-in numbers for over 40 countries are included. UberConference also offers its award-winning free service that does require PINs, but you still get essential features in the visual conference call dashboard.
Simplify Your Calls
UberConference's dashboard solves the most common problems faced in teleconferencing and makes advanced features so much easier to use than traditional services, which require you to remember things like "push *67 to record." Callers can see images of the participants, know who is speaking at any given moment, and can quickly see participants' public social media information. The organizer can also mute an individual noisy caller or add a new participant during the call with the click of a button. Finally, conference calls the way you want them, with UberConference.

If you are a wine lover, the Chilean capital of Santiago is well worth a visit. The city is wedged between a number of famous wine regions, and only a short drive from the capital are several other interesting regions. Chilean winemakers enjoy introducing visitors to their exquisite creations.
Chile has been producing wine since the 16th century when it was under Spanish colonial rule. Today, the country is one of the largest wine producers in the world, with more than 200 wineries and 14 different varieties. Most wineries are open to the public and offer excellent wine tastings as well as a host of other activities.
Chile is home to pretty much every extreme climate on the planet: from the dry Atacama Desert in the north to the icy plains of Patagonia in the south. But the climate around Santiago is Mediterranean, with summer temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius and winter temperatures that seldom drop below 15 degrees. These are the ideal conditions for growing the grapes to make wine. It is therefore no surprise that most wine regions are located close to Santiago, and the one closest to the Chilean capital is Maipo. Here you will find rolling vineyards with winding roads set against the spectacular snow-capped peaks of the Andes.
The La Montaña wine region is approximately an hour's drive from the centre of Santiago. Visitors can explore the mountainous region on foot or even by rappel. Conclude the tour with a Chilean barbecue accompanied, of course, by wine produced at La Montaña. Nearby is the estate of Pérez Cruz, a winery that stands out for its distinctive architecture. The building has been designed to blend in with the surrounding natural scenery.
"The La Montaña wine region offers rappel, hiking and mountain biking"
Towards the coast, about 75 km west of Santiago, lies the Casablanca wine region. The salty sea air creates crisp, aromatic wines, thanks to the cool morning mist that covers the vineyards. Make sure to visit the Emiliana vineyard, known for its production of organic wine. In addition to wine tasting, visitors may also sample delicious cheese and chocolate. The company also has vineyards in other wine regions.
Emiliana, Calle Portales Corp Bod I Vin Sta Eblanca Casablanca, Valparaíso
You don't have to leave Santiago to taste delicious Chilean wines. The city boasts various wine bars that serve up an overwhelming selection - for example Bocanariz, right in the centre of Santiago, lists 300 local wines on its menu. If you cannot make a choice, just order one of the tasting samples, you will not be disappointed. Cheers!
Bocanariz, José Victorino Lastarria 276, Santiago

Who you gonna call for luck as tonight's $360 million Powerball drawing approaches? (Update: the jackpot has grown to $550 million in advance of the drawing May 18 – it's now the third largest in history.)
Well, if you want someone to blow on your ticket, you could do worse than to find retired postal worker Melvyn Wilson, a four-time winner of Virginia's scratch-off lottery games.
"Mr. Lucky," as Wilson, 72, has come to be known, just won $500,000 in the state's Millionaire Mania game. He won the same sum in 2005, the year he also hit for a cool million. In 2004, according to the Virginia Lottery website, he won a measly $25K. If you're keeping track, that's $2,025,000 in nine years.
"I'm just in the right place at the right time," Wilson says.
OK. We'll try that. In fact, in a few minutes we'll be heading to the Handy Dandy Market in Woodbridge, Va., the source of Wilson's most recent winning ticket.
By the way, if you're wondering what he does with his new fortune, he's not at all shy about revealing that, too.
"I invest," he says, "in Melvyn."

There is a big discussion going on about GroupOn's business model. After the company refused Google's acquisition offer, nobody could decide whether the company owners were just too crazy or too brilliant, confident in their business ability to outperform any kind of offer Google could come up with–and that after Google virtually double its initial offer.
John Battelle is one of the ones who think that GroupOn made the right choice. He writes:
Good sources have told me that GroupOn is growing at 50 percent a month, with a revenue run rate of nearly $2 billion a year (based on last month's revenues). By next month, that run rate may well hit $2.7 billion. The month after that, should the growth continue, the run rate would clear $4 billion.
Battelle attributes this to a combination of factors (relationships, location, and timing–see the article for a more in-depth explanation) that make GroupOn's appeal to small business pretty much irresistible. As he notes in his article, that run rate is the triple of what Google itself experienced in its early years.
I was talking to a friend a while back about social buying and he said the major problem that will affect and eventually kill GroupOn's–and all of it other clones, by extension–is churn, that is, the fact the a lot of the offers were creating problems for the businesses using the platform. In fact, there have been a lot of reports about people being mistreated if they came bearing a GroupOn or equivalent coupon, and I have heard some of those stories first-hand. In many of those cases, the business owners had miscalculated what they could or should offer and were unhappy with the entire experience, consequently becoming less and less interested in working again with GroupOn or their local clone.
But I believe that the churn we are seeing right now is just a consequence of the way new markets behave. If Battelle is right–and I believe he is–the rate of churn will fall with time as business begin to find their sweet spots in the social buying ecosystem. I don't see why, for example, GroupOn can't offer a tool that will allow business to input some parameters and find the ideal price for a given offer. Granted, that will never be exactly precise but will give most business owners using the platform a way to avoid the most extreme problems.
But, ultimately, I believe that GroupOn will succeed because it's changing the way people are relating to those business using social buying to attract them. Recently, talking to two other friends, they told me how our local clones had impacted their buying patterns.
One of them, a 40-ish divorced guy, said he wouldn't dine out anymore unless he had a coupon and that the coupons were helping him to raise the bar with regards the kind of places he was able to go to in a single month. Previously, going to a more expensive place meant he was able to do that just a couple times each month. With the help of coupons, he was going to more expensive places one or more times each week. That's a huge change in spending patterns and one that's benefitting him and the restaurants he likes.
But other guy, a 30-year-old or so guy, said social buying was actually helping him to get laid. You see, this is a single guy who is using a variety of coupons–for restaurants, spas, clothing, small items–to impress and convince women to have sex with him. He is still using a considerable amount of money, but GroupOn and the likes are helping him to spend that money in a more efficient way towards his objects–which, right now, are pretty much limited to getting laid as many times as possible with as many women as possible. And it's pretty evident from the way the market works that any business that helps people to get laid–or find any measure of sexual satisfaction for the matter–is in much better condition to thrive.
So there you have it: people are getting laid using GroupOn. That makes GroupOn business position a much stronger one. Battelle is right, from the small business' point of view–but my friend is also right, from the consumer's point of view.
Either way, GroupOn wins.

Another wind advisory has been issued in the desert, but is likely going to miss hitting a bulk of the crowd at the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival on Sunday.
Gusty winds between 20 and 30 mph, with occassional gusts up to 60 mph, are expected to hit the Coachella Valley, prompting the issuance of a wind advisory from 2 a.m.-2 p.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
The forecasted winds are expected to be stronger than Saturday's blustery weather, which blew sand throughout the music festival in Indio. While winds are expected to pick up by the end of the night Sunday, it isn't expected to reach the level of last night's #windchella.
But festival-goers who plan to leave the Empire Polo Fields around 2 a.m. should be cautious as blowing sand will reduce visibility on the roads along both the north and east of Interstate 10. Driving large vehicles like tour buses and camper trailers will also be difficult, so officials advise drive use extra caution.

I personally only support animal sanctuaries as they actually take care of the animals instead of treating them like cheap objects on display. Daniel kukla's Captive Landscapes documents 8 different zoos in the US, capturing the artifiicial spaces that we create for these poor animals so that we can look and point at them.

Imagine this scene: Jim Fassel and Bobby Valentine, post-game, dining together, relaxing, swapping stories and laughs, both puffing on cigars. Fassel suggesting that Valentine, now designated as a good-luck charm, should accompany the Giants Sunday to Buffalo.
"I told him he could have my wife's seat on the plane," Fassel said.
It was strange and also true, a fittingly off-beat culmination of a strange-but-true week. A liberated Fassel yesterday looked as if he had slept for about a month, appearing relieved, rejuvenated and refreshed. He tried on the new Monday morning routine of spreading praise far and wide, and liked the fit. His Giants may never rise any higher than they did in a 41-28 rout of the Jets, and Fassel may never feel any better about his team than he did on this day. Let the worry of what lies ahead wait; Fassel was not quite ready to let go of these good feelings.
"There was more done than said," Fassel said. "If we keep that attitude, we'll be tough to deal with. I don't care who we play."
That is the kind of talk that's been missing from Fassel, and understandably so. A huge weight has been lifted, not only by the thrashing of the Bill Parcells Jets, but by the way the Giants responded to a difficult week, the way Kerry Collins injected a spark into their downtrodden quarterback position, the way Joe Montgomery gained the hard yards and the way assistant coach Sean Payton successfully took over Fassel's play-calling duties.
None of this guarantees anything in the final four games, but at least there is hope for the Giants.
"[If] we play like we did Sunday, we can win a lot of games," Jessie Armstead said. "A lot of games."
They will need to win a lot of games, most likely at least three, to have a shot at the playoffs, which remain a remote possibility. Even in the equal-opportunity NFC, the Giants at 6-6 are lagging behind, currently seventh on a six-team playoff depth chart. Three of the remaining four games are on the road, and the one home game is against the high-powered Vikings. At the moment, the Giants have no healthy cornerbacks with any experience and are hoping Phillippi Sparks, who says he's at 70 percent because of a pulled groin, can get better in time for the Bills.
Given what went on in the dismantling of the Jets and the loss of Jason Sehorn for the regular season, it's no wonder Fassel, when considering the state of his team, uttered this once-unthinkable plan: "The offense needs to carry a load right now, because we're banged up on defense."
Fassel unburdened his load Sunday by disposing of his play-calling role, a role that he has been so closely linked to that giving it up represents a major change in his approach. For the first time since his first few games as a Giants assistant coach in 1991, Fassel spent an NFL game doing something other than calling plays. He liked the feel.
"It relieves your mind a little bit," he said. "It gives you a chance to look at the whole thing. I feel more in control of certain aspects."
For the first time, Fassel said, he actually picked up the phone used by the defensive coaches to listen in on what was in the works on that side of the ball. This new awakening comes just in time, as the Giants will need to be on top of every aspect of their performance to hang in with the Bills, who are 8-4 and well-rested coming off a bye week.
The Giants are battered in their secondary, and taking aim down the stretch will be Doug Flutie, Kurt Warner, Jeff George and Troy Aikman.
"I never played against Flutie," Armstead said. "I haven't eaten his cereal. I've watched him on TV make a lot of big plays on a lot of people."
There is no concern about Armstead, but there is plenty of worry about a defensive backfield that will have Jeremy Lincoln and Emmanuel McDaniel playing key roles while Sparks and Shaun Williams return from injuries.
"I'm worried about it," Fassel said. "It's a challenge. Let's figure out a way. It's our job to figure out a way to win football games."

Today wraps up my third and final day of posting notes taken from the worship song writer's workshop I sat in on with master song writer Brenton Brown. Of his three points, this was his shortest, but poignant nonetheless.
In fact, I'll leave it worded exactly as he delivered it.
It Feels Like a Crossword Puzzle
Sometimes writing a song is like trying to fill out a crossword puzzle. Which I suck at. The puzzle says, "Name a five-letter word for a flat service." After drilling my brain for hours, I decide there simply is no such word. Then in desperation I walk around the house asking people, "What's a five-letter word for a flat service?"
Man, what didn't I think of that? Because I wasn't really dedicated to hunting the word down. I just wanted it easy.
Stop rhyming the last word in a stanza with praise, and name, and grace – there are other words out there that work. Please hunt them down! Work at it!
'Nough said.

Saints running back Darren Sproles says Buccaneers safety Dashon Goldson was clearly intending to injure him when he delivered a helmet-to-helmet blow in Sunday's game.
"He tried to hurt me on the play, but he didn't," Sproles said.
Sproles said that when he watched replays of the hit, he could see that Goldson was aiming to drill him in the head. Sproles added that Goldson has a history of delivering "dirty" hits.
Goldson got a 15-yard penalty for the hit on Sproles and was initially suspended for a game, although on appeal his punishment was reduced from a one-game suspension to a $100,000 fine. That's a hefty fine and it comes on the heels of a $30,000 fine Goldson incurred in Week One, but at some point, if fines and 15-yard penalties aren't stopping Goldson's dirty play, a suspension is going to have to be the next step.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to announce RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #18 will be my last issue of the series.
As much as I love Jason, Roy and Kori, my schedule is such that something had to give and that something was Red Hood.
Despite all the hoopla and tearing at clothing that greeted the launch of the series (or heck, maybe because of it!) I have never been more proud of my association with launching a title as I have with this book. Love it or loath it, RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS has always had a unique voice, tone, pacing and -- thanks for the incomparable Kenneth Rocafort and Blond, its own look.
Am I going to be sad that I don't get to write Jason as he picks up the pieces of his life in the aftermath of Death of the Family? Yes! Do I weep that I didn't get to explore Roy's upbringing on the Navajo reservation and how he eventually wound up with Outlaw status? Absolutely! Do I already regret I won't be around to watch Starfire deal with the arrival of her sister on Earth and what it means to the fate of the mysterious 13? More than words can say!
I'm going to miss Ducra and the All-Caste and Isabel and Essence and DePalo and Orn and K'tten and especially Crux... and, of course, the inevitable return of Suzie Su!
But here are two pieces of good news to help alleviate our mutual sorrow.
First, the last two issues of RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS I've written (issues #17 and #18) are two of my most favorite, most emotional stories I've written not only of the series... but of my entire career! As exits go, I could not have asked for a more grand good-bye! If feels like the perfect place to say my good-bye.
Secondly, I'm leaving you in the more than capable hands of James Tynion! As anyone who has been following his Batman back-ups and his Talon launch knows James is an exciting young writer with talent way beyond his years. I can't wait to pick up RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #19 and see where he is going with the series!
Before I go I want to thank Judd and Mort and George and Denny and Neal and Marv and George for their hands in creating RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS to begin with. And of course Bobbie and Katie and Eddie and Darren in editorial, and Kenneth, Blond, Timothy and Pascal and both Pascals for everything else. To Tumblr, for keeping me honest with all their thoughtful criticism and insight into all that is best in humanity. And finally, to Mike DePalo for his unwavering assistance, expertise and friendship.
Go Hoodies! The best is yet to come!

Mission Woman Pleads Guilty to Embezzling Federal Money
SIOUX FALLS - A woman on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota has pleaded guilty to embezzling federal money.
U.S. Attorney Brendan Johnson says Donna Peterson from 1996 to 2008 managed an apartment complex in Mission where tenants received rent subsidy payments from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Development agency. Peterson was accused of embezzling more than $32,700 in 2007.
She pleaded guilty to theft of government funds and faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine when she is sentenced June 3.

|[Gentoo Linux Home] [GLEP Index] [GLEP Source]
|Alternative Package Manager requirements
|2006/09/05 20:54:30
|Paul de Vrieze <pauldv at gentoo.org>,
|Standards Track
|19-May-2006, 6-Sep-2006
The council rejected this GLEP in favor of starting from a package manager API and requiring Gentoo package managers in the tree to support that API. (That API is still pending, however.)
This GLEP describes four classes of package managers. What the requirements for them are, and what support they can receive.
To set a standard that package managers that seek Gentoo project approval and support should adhere to.
Currently Portage is showing its age. The code of Portage does not seem to be salvageable for new versions. As of the date of publication, there are two known alternative package managers that claim a level of Portage compatibility. These alternatives are paludis [1] and pkgcore [2]. Before these alternatives are developed further, a set of rules should be created to level the playing field and ensuring that decisions can be made clearly.
Not a problem for this GLEP. There is no previous standard as the issue did not exist before. This GLEP is to prevent future compatibility issues.
We distinguish four categories of package managers. While a package manager can transition from one category to another, it can not be in two categories at the same time. It can be in a state of transition though.
A secondary package manager is a package manager that coexists with the primary package manager, while not aiming to replace it. Examples of package managers that would fall into this category are:
As a package manager is in a state of higher support there are higher requirements to it. The purpose of these requirements is to ensure the unity of the distribution and the package tree. For this purpose it is needed that there is only one primary package manager. This is from gentoo's perspective. From a user perspective it is perfectly possible to use another package manager. Candidate primary package managers and secondary package managers are also supported in regards to bugs etc.
The primary package manager is the package manager that sets the standards for the tree. All ebuilds in the tree must function with the primary package manager. As the primary package manager sets the standard it does not have to maintain compatibility with other package managers. This does not mean that the actual implementation is the standard, but that the maintainers have the ability to define new standards, together with the other involved gentoo projects.
The primary package manager does however have the responsibility that it must be very stable. The primary package manager must maintain compatibility with old versions of itself for extended periods of time. This compatibility time is set by the council. The suggested time would be one year from the point that there is a compatible stable version for all supported architectures.
Another compatibility requirement for the primary package manager is a limited forward compatibility. It must always be possible to transition from the unstable version of the primary package manager to a stable version. This may be done either by first introducing reading compatibility for a new format and only having write support later. Another way would be the provision of a conversion tool that ensures that the on disk information maintained by the package manager is supported by the stable package manager.
The primary package manager maintainers further have the responsibility to allow competition. This means that reasonable patches from the maintainers of secondary or candidate primary package managers must be applied, given that these patches are as independent of that package manager as possible.
The primary package manager is maintained on official Gentoo infrastructure, under control of Gentoo developers.
A candidate primary package manager aims to replace the primary package manager. The council is responsible for deciding whether this is done. The requirements are there to ensure that it is actually possible to transition a candidate primary package manager into the primary package manager.
First of all, there must exist a transition path. This means that the on disk data of the primary package manager can be used by (or converted to a format usable by) the candidate primary package manager.
Second, there must be a test path. It must be possible for the developers to test out the candidate primary package manager on their working systems. This means that the transition path must exist. This also means that there are no serious obstacles for reverting to the current primary package manager. This reverting must also be usable when it is decided that the candidate will not become primary package manager, for example because serious design flaws or bugs were found. Ideally, the Candidate Primary Package Manager and the Primary Package Manager can be installed simultaneously. If not, clear instructions must be provided for both ways of transitioning.
Third, there must exist an ebuild test path. It must be possible for package managers to test ebuilds in one tree for both the primary as well as the candidate primary package manager. It is not an issue if this requires a special mode for the candidate primary package manager. It is not an issue either if compatibility can be achieved by having the candidate primary package manager unmerge the package.
Fourth, there must be support. This means that the package manager is actively maintained under control of Gentoo. If it is not maintained on Gentoo infrastructure, the means must be there to move the package manager, with its change history, to Gentoo infrastructure. This means that it must be maintained on a Gentoo supported versioning system, or on a version system whose history can be converted to a Gentoo supported versioning system.
Fifth, release capabilities. There must exist automated tools that use the candidate primary package manager to create release media that have similar capabilities as those released using the old primary package manager. The exact requirements are determined by the Release Engineering project, but should not be significantly beyond what is currently implemented using the primary package manager.
A secondary package manager is a package manager that instead of directly aiming at replacing the current primary package manager as primary package manager aims to cooperate with the primary package manager. As such a secondary package manager does not set the standard on the tree, but follows the standard set by the primary package manager.
There are two kinds of secondary package managers. The first kind is formed by those that do not maintain their own installed package database, but work with the package database of the primary package manager. While these package managers can put additional information in the database, these entries must remain compatible with the primary package managers. Verification, reference, and deinstallation by the primary package manager must remain functional.
The second kind is formed by those package managers that maintain their own package database, or a package database incompatible with the primary package manager. To ensure the secondary role of these package managers the support in the tree for these package managers is provided along with restrictions.
The first restriction is that no packages in the tree must rely on the secondary package manager. While packages may provide a level of support (while being compatible with the primary package manager) this may not result in a significant increase of features. If this were allowed, this would mean that while they technically work with the primary package manager, there would be significant incentive to use the secondary package manager. As the use of this secondary package manager disallows the parallel use of the primary package manager, this would result in users using the secondary package manager as their primary package manager.
Users are allowed to make their own choices. However by making the tree favour a package manager that is not the primary package manager, this will lead to the secondary package manager becoming the effective primary package manager. As this will be a decision by default instead of a conscious choice by the council, this is an undesirable result.
There is one exclusion for the restriction of packages that only work with or have significant improvements with the secondary package manager. That is packages that by their nature are only usable with this secondary package manager. An example would be a graphical front-end to the secondary package manager.
If a secondary package manager works along the primary package manager, but by itself does not have the capabilities of becoming a primary package manager the risks of choice by default are lower. As a result, the council could choose to allow the inclusion of packages that work only or significantly better with this secondary package manager. For example at a point where there is a stable, functional, package manager that can handle RPM format packages, the council could decide to include these packages directly in the tree, instead of using wrapper scripts for those packages that are only provided in the RPM format. Such a decision does imply that the maintainers of the primary package manager must take this secondary package manager into account.
A third party package manager is just that. It is a package manager without any support within Gentoo. As there is no control by Gentoo over the package manager this means that there are no requirements on the package manager.
This complete lack of control however also translates to the fact that Gentoo can not make package manager specific changes to support this package manager. Package manager specific means that it is possible to request changes that make the tree more independent of the primary package manager. These changes must however be agnostic of the package manager, and only make it easier to have alternative package managers.
A candidate primary package manager can be chosen to become primary package manager. This can only happen by council decision. This decision can only be made when the candidate primary package manager is stable on all stable architectures. (all architectures except experimental ones). There is a incubation period of at least 3 months before a candidate primary package manager can become the primary package manager.
After the decision has been made to replace the primary package manager, the transition phase starts. The use of the old stable package manager must remain supported for a period of 6 months. This means that core packages must be installable by this package manager. Further the possibility to convert the system automatically to the new primary package manager must be available for at least 18 months, but preferably longer (enable installing the new package manager from the old one).
During the transition phase packages are allowed in the tree that use the new features of the new primary package manager. While backward compatibility with the previous primary package manager must be maintained a forward compatibility is no longer needed.
The transition from secondary package manager to candidate primary package manager is straightforward. The secondary package manager must satisfy all requirements for a candidate primary package manager. At that point its maintainers can announce that they are changing the status to candidate primary package manager. This allows a greater support from Gentoo in achieving that goal.
When a third party package manager wants to transition into one of the other categories (except primary package manager) it must satisfy all requirements for that category.

Big Brother is watching. And people are reading.
Thanks to the ongoing National Security Administration surveillance scandal, George Orwell's "1984" is enjoying a surge in popularity, landing at No. 4 on Amazon's list of "Movers and Shakers." Sales of Orwell's classic have risen an astonishing 5,771% as of Tuesday morning, with a current sales rank of 213, up from 12,507 just a few days ago. A different edition of the novel has even made it onto Amazon's top 100 bestsellers list.
It's a nice birthday present for the 1949 novel, which marked its 64th anniversary on June 8 amid revelations that made Orwell's "Big Brother" seem more relevant than ever.
Edward Snowden's leaks about the NSA's massive collection of data from the phone and Internet records of Americans have given rise to concerns over loss of privacy, making Orwell's novel of a totalitarian surveillance state seem almost prophetic to some. "Throwing out such a broad net of surveillance is exactly the kind of threat Orwell feared," Orwell biographer Michael Shelden told NPR. In "1984," Orwell portrayed a society in which the state is constantly tracking the thoughts and movements of its citizens.
On Friday, President Obama referenced the novel when he defended the program, saying, "In the abstract, you can complain about Big Brother and how this is a potential program run amok, but when you actually look at the details, then I think we've struck the right balance."
It's not the first time that the news out of Washington has helped to sell novels: In 2008, the bank bailouts and passage of the fiscal stimulus package gave rise to a bump in sales for Ayn Rand's "Atlas Shrugged."

The other night, we felt like doing something different from the usual, so I suggested it would be a good time to take our occasionally-discussed trip to Molten Core. While Reversion had been inside a few times back in the day, on his hunter, I didn't raid at all until WotLK and had set foot in the place only once, back when Wrath was new – and that attempt didn't go anywhere.
So we flew out there. I knew I'd want Analogue for the attempt, and we weren't sure whether Reversion should take his hunter or his druid so he started on the hunter. I activated my boomkin spec but left on most of my healing gear; hit wasn't a concern since everything would be lower level than me, and my healing set far outpaces my boomkin set. I did equip my Nibelung (everyone has one of those I think; I got mine for 500 gold in a GDKP) and switched out my Abacus trinket for one that didn't have a healing proc.
We did the first few corehounds and decided to get Reversion the druid instead of Approximate the hunter; Approximate's pet just couldn't hold aggro. That worked better; things died fast, Reversion held aggro and barely needed healing at all, and I could get in a proper Eclipse rotation.
So there we were in Molten Core, two druids where 40 man packs used to tread. We could skip a lot of trash. Most of it ignored us as we walked by, even when I fell into the lava and had to find a way out.
The first pair of bosses was in a room with giant packs of corehounds. A note of warning about these corehounds; they were one of the two spots we had trouble with, because you have to kill the whole pack at once or they come back up. Don't do what we did and take the boss and two packs. It worked, mostly because my healing gear gave me insane mana regen rates, but I think it took ten minutes to finally get them all dead at once. AOEs are your friend here.
The denizens of Molten Core are an eclectic bunch of firey corehounds, firey elementals, firey imps, and firey Nagas. (I was a bit surprised at that last). The color scheme is a rather unrelenting brown, gray, and red. While it has it's own charm, it's not the sort of place I'd build a summer home.
There's also ten bosses, all of which have to be killed. The first 8 sitting on runes on the ground and you can't get the penultimate boss to appear until you get them all. And he summons Ragnaros for you so you kind of need him. If you're thinking of your own Molten Core adventure, check out wowwiki: http://www.wowwiki.com/Molten_Core and think about your own strategies.
The other spot where we had trouble was with Baron Geddon, a fire elemental. He does a Living Bomb effect on one of his targets which kicks them high into the air. The room he is in has a very, very high ceiling. You take a lot of fall damage. We died to him because we didn't pay attention to him. We came back and fought him in the corridor leading to his room; now we weren't taking hardly any fall damage at all.
After him it was just a matter of finding the rest of the guys to kill. Aided by Reversion's dim recollections and internet resources, we found everyone and then went to confront Majordomo Executus. He's a big wimp and when you kill his friends, he surrenders. You then go meet him by Ragnaros's pit and he summons Ragnaros for you.
Look, I was impressed. I haven't done that many raids and none of the bosses I've confronted have been like this. Onyxia? Dragons are supposed to be huge. I kill dragons all the time. Heck, I RIDE dragons. Illidan? Met him after I'd already been through Naxx, he was a pushover. Haven't done Ulduar; nothing in Naxx had this level of "wow", and as far as my ICC progress, well, Saurfang is very inspiring but he IS just a lone orc, and none of the LK's other buddies are that impressive. Yeah, they regularly tear my branches off and beat me around the head with them, but this guy was just amazing. I bet I feel impressed when I get to the Lich King though.
For all that, he died…. gloriously.
And here we are, posing in front of the spoils of war! I wish we could carry that hammer around, that would be cool. You can barely see us!
