- NO FEES WILL BE APPLIED TO THE CARD AFTER PURCHASE (including dormancy, service or other fees)

- The funds on the Gift Card do not expire.

- Gift Cards are only available for distribution in the United States, but are not available to residents of Vermont or the United States Virgin Islands. The $25, $75, $100 and $200 Gift Cards are not available to Hawaii residents.
Special Usage Instructions:
- Know your Gift Card balance before you shop, as merchants cannot determine the balance on your Gift Card.
- Some merchants do not allow cardholders to conduct split transactions where you would use the Gift Card as partial payment for goods or services and then pay the remainder of the balance using another payment method. If you wish to conduct a split transaction and it is permitted by the merchant, you must tell the merchant to charge the Gift Card only for the exact amount of funds available on the Gift Card. You must then arrange to pay the difference using another payment method. Some merchants may require payment for the remaining balance in cash. If you do not inform the merchant that you would like to complete a split transaction prior to using your Gift Card, your Gift Card is likely to be declined.
- At the time of purchase, give the Gift Card to the cashier and sign the receipt or push "credit" on the keypad. Although it states "debit" on the front of the Gift Card, no PIN will be provided with the Gift Card, and therefore your purchase will be declined if you push "debit."
- Write down your Gift Card number and keep it in a safe place.
- Remember to sign the back of your Gift Card.
- Some merchants (such as restaurants and salons) will obtain an authorization/approval on the Gift Card for an amount up to twenty percent (20%) or more than the total bill to cover any tip or gratuity that you may add to the purchase, and therefore it is important for you to be sure that the balance of your Gift Card is sufficient to cover such amount or arrange to pay the tip or gratuity using cash or another payment method. Hotels, car rental agencies, and gas stations may also secure an authorization/approval on the Gift Card in excess of the estimated purchase amount to ensure that adequate funds are available to cover the final purchase. The entire amount of the authorization/approval will remain unavailable until the actual transaction posts to your Gift Card (typically within seven (7) business days), although only the amount you actually authorize will be deducted from the value of the Gift Card. All transactions relating to car rentals may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to sixty (60) days. If you authorize a transaction and do not complete the transaction as planned, the approval may result in a hold for that amount of funds for up to thirty (30) days.
- Internet, mail, and phone order purchases may require that we have the name and address of the Gift Card owner on file. If you wish to make Internet, mail, or phone order purchases, you will need to go to www.getcardbalance.com and enter your name and address prior to performing an Internet, mail, or phone order transaction.
- Your Gift Card does not have ATM access.
- It is recommended that you keep all receipts of purchases made with your Gift Card.
- The Gift Card itself may not be returned to any merchant for a refund, except where required by applicable law.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Alejandro Mayorkas, who has been nominated to be the deputy secretary of Homeland Security - and who could soon run the department - is under investigation by the department's inspector general.
A spokesman for the Office of the Inspector General said the watchdog was in "the preliminary stage of an investigation of certain allegations made against Alejandro Mayorkas." He would give no further details.
The inspector general's office sent lawmakers an email this week informing them about allegations Mayorkas had engaged in a conflict of interest and misused his position, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
The source said investigators are looking into whether Mayorkas had assisted in securing an investor visa - which had previously been denied twice - on behalf of Gulf Coast Funds Management.
Gulf Coast Funds Management is run by Anthony Rodham, the brother of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
If confirmed as deputy secretary of Homeland Security, Mayorkas would likely run the department on an acting basis following the September departure of Secretary Janet Napolitano, who is leaving to run the University of California.
In the email to lawmakers, the inspector general's office said it did not have any findings of criminal misconduct, according to the source familiar with the investigation.
Mayorkas is due to appear on Thursday before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs for a hearing on his nomination.
The Cuban-born Mayorkas was previously the U.S. Attorney for Southern California. He was criticized for lobbying former President Bill Clinton for the pardon of a drug dealer whose father was a Democratic party donor.
In confirmation hearings for his Citizenship and Immigration Services position in 2009, Mayorkas told lawmakers he had made a mistake in talking to the White House about the pardon request.

Disability: Psychiatric Disabilities
W. Patrick Sullivan
The psychosocial catastrophe that accompanies serious mental illness negatively impacts individual performance and success in all key life domains. A person-in-environment perspective, and with a traditional and inherent interest in consumer and community strengths, is well positioned to address psychiatric disabilities. This entry describes a select set of habilitation and rehabilitation services that are ideally designed to address the challenges faced by persons with mental illness. In addition, it is argued that emphasis on a recovery model serves as an important framework for developing effective interventions.
Long-Term Care
Rosalie A. Kane
Long-term care (LTC), also called long-term support services, refers to personal care and services for people of all ages who cannot perform daily activities unaided. This entry reviews trends across LTC settings—nursing homes, assisted living, and consumers' own homes, emphasizing efforts since 1990 to downsize nursing homes and expand community services, while transforming the remaining nursing home sector into caring communities with individualized services and improved living conditions. Key themes include sustaining a frontline work force, developing a cross-disability unified agenda, defining and assuring quality, and ethical issues in balancing safety and autonomy. Opportunities for social work leadership in LTC abound.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Franklin & Marshall 76, Ursinus 58: Franklin & Marshall got 18 points from Matt Porter as the Diplomats (10-3 Centennial, 15-5 overall) beat Ursinus (5-8, 7-13).
The Diplomats used a huge 17-8 offensive rebounding edge to take the win.
The Bears were led by 14 points from senior Jon Ward and ten points from senior forward Kevin Janowski in the loss.
Franklin & Marshall pulled away in the first half as the Diplomats held Ursinus to just one field goal over a ten minute span to go up 13 at 27-14. Despite the drought, Ursinus actually shot better than F&M in the first half as the Bears connected on 37.5 percent of their shots compared to 35.3 percent.
Ward honored: For the second straight year, Ursinus men's basketball senior forward Jon Ward was named an CoSIDA/Capital One Academic All-District first-team selection.
Ward was one of five players selected to the first-team from District IV, which covers all Division III schools in Pennsylvania.
Ward, a physics major, earned a 3.86 GPA last semester. Coming into Thursday's game with F&M, he is second in the conference in field goal percentage at 58.9 percent. He is second on team in scoring at 13.0 points per game and is second on the squad in rebounds per game at 5.4 per contest.
Away from the court, he was the Philly-SIDA All-Academic Men's Basketball Performer of the Year in 2011. He spent his summer in France working on an honors project entitled 'Simulations of Potential Global Gravitational Wave Electromagnetic Follow-Up Configurations' He has had six publications/presentations on various subjects related to physics.
Ward now advances to the national ballot for consideration as an Academic All-American.
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL Ursinus 60, Bryn Mawr 33: Ursinus held Bryn Mawr to just one field goal over the last 9:21 of the first as the Bears (7-8 Centennial, 10-10 overall) defeated the Owls.
The Bears were led by 23 points and 15 rebounds from freshman Jessica Porada, while freshman Alyssa Polimeni added 16 points.
Freshman Tori Steinberg scored ten as the Bears trailed only once on the opening basket.

Thought summer drinks were all pink bubbles and pina coladas? Au contraire. While crisp rosé and minty Pimms are certainly staples for sun-lit soirees, sometimes one requires a drink with a little more je ne sais quoi. Think South American twists or the paired-back elegance of dance-on-your-tongue Prosecco, shaken up with a bitter and woody sage.
Cocktail mixing is an enviable skill, and these balmy summer nights present the perfect opportunity to try your hand at a little 'shaken not stirred' magic. Let's get mixing…
40ml/1 2⁄3 oz Gin 25ml/1 oz Monbazillac or other Sauternes-esque sweet wine
15ml/ 2⁄3 oz Fresh lemon juice
10ml/ 1⁄3 oz Saffron syrup (not essential but tasty; use sugar syrup otherwise)
3 chunks Honeydew melon, approx 150g/6oz
1 Sage leaf
Mix it up:
Muddle melon and sage in the bottom of a shaker. Add all other ingredients and shake with cubed ice for 6 seconds. Double strain into a cocktail glass.
20ml honey
20ml fresh lemon
10ml Aperol
10ml Ardbeg Corryvreckan 10 years
40ml Jacopo Poli Grappa
15ml egg white
Method: Wet shake, then dry shake then double strain in to the glass. Add a mint sprig and lemon twist to garnish.
50ml/2 oz Martin Miller's gin
15ml/ 2⁄3 oz Fresh lemon juice
30ml/1 1⁄4 oz Hibiscus syrup
2 Large or 4 small strawberries
3 Raspberries Champagne, to top
Mix it up:
When berries are in season this is a phenomenal cocktail. Berries and champagne is always a good idea. Muddle the strawberries and raspberries
in the bottom of a shaker. Add all the other ingredients except the champagne and shake with cubed ice for 4 seconds. Double strain into the serving glass and top with champagne.

GTK+ 1.2.3 or higher. GTK+/Glib is included with most systems now. If you don't have it installed, you may want to check to see if your vendor has a package available. If not, you can download the latest version of GTK+ and Glib from ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk. gFTP will work with either version 1.2 or 2.x of GTK+, but I would recommend using GTK+ 2.x.
pthread libraries. Most systems already satisfy this requirement. If you are on a platform other than Linux, you may want to take a look at the FSU Pthreads library at http://www.informatik.hu-berlin.de/~mueller/pthreads.
If you do not want to compile gFTP yourself, you can check my webpage. I have DEBs for Debian and RPMs for RedHat available. If you're looking for Solaris binaries, check out http://www.sunfreeware.com.
If you are compiling gFTP yourself, extract the files from the distribution with tar -zxvf gftp-<version>.tar.gz
Go to the gftp-<version> directory and type
The configure script will generate a Makefile for your machine, and make will compile a binary for your machine. By default, when you run configure, it will install gFTP with the prefix /usr/local, so the gFTP binary will be /usr/local/bin/gftp. You can change this by typing configure --prefix=/usr, and it will then install the gFTP binary to /usr/bin/gftp.
If the compile suceeds without any errors, you can type make install to install the binary. This will also copy some necessary files to <install prefix>/share/gftp. If you do not have root on your machine to install these files, copy the contents of the docs/sample.gftp/ directory to ~/.gftp.
You may want to glance at the USERS-GUIDE file that comes with this distribution. It contains a little bit of information about how to use it.
I develop gFTP on a Debian GNU/Linux machine. It should run under any other Linux distributions. Here is a list of other platforms I have received successful compile reports:
Digital UNIX
If gFTP compiles and runs on a platform not listed here, please email me about it and I'll add it to this list. If you are having problems compiling GTK+ or gFTP on another platform, try using GNU make instead of your vendor supplied make.
gFTP is stored in GNOME's SVN repository. For instructions on how to setup your subversion client, visit the website http://developer.gnome.org/tools/svn.html. In a nutshell, you will need to run the following command to download the latest code:
svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/gftp/trunk gftp
To compile the SVN code, you will need autoconf, automake and gettext installed on your system. Once you have those packages installed, run the following series of commands:
Run ./autogen.sh to generate the configure scripts.
If that is successful, run ./configure to generate the Makefiles. By default, the binaries will be installed in /usr/local/bin. You can change the install location by passing the --prefix argument to configure. For example, let's say you want to install the binaries in /usr/bin. Run configure --prefix=/usr.
If that is successful, run make to build the source.
Optional: If that is successful, run make install to install the binary on your computer.
If you find ANY bugs in gFTP, please check to make sure that you are using the latest version of gFTP. If you are, please submit all bug reports to GNOME's Bugzilla. When sending in bug reports, please try to be as descriptive as possible. Send me what OS/version you are running, what compiler you are compiling with, the output of gftp --info and any other important information. If you get gFTP to crash, it would be very helpful if you could send me a backtrace. If you do not know how to do a backtrace, download the source code from my website. Edit the Makefile, and make sure that -g appears in the CFLAGS variable. Then recompile gFTP, but do NOT run make install because it will install a stripped binary in $PREFIX/bin. Then type gdb ./gftp. Once you have a (gdb) prompt, type r. When gFTP crashes, go back to that terminal window, and type bt, and put that output in the bug that you file with bugzilla.
I also have a gftp-users mailinglist setup. I have a link to the archives on my main webpage. If it is strictly a bug report, please submit it to Bugzilla instead of the mailinglist. Bugs that are submitted to bugzilla are much easier for me to track.
Also, if you do not get a response back from me immediately, that is not uncommon. I usually stay very busy and I don't get to work on gFTP all of the time.
To run the text port, you can type gftp-text or to run the gtk+ port, you can run the gftp-gtk. The gftp command is just a shell script that checks if your DISPLAY variable is set, and if so it'll run the appropriate version.
Yes, the text port of gFTP supports this well. You can type:
gftp-text -d ftp://ftp.somesite.com/someplace
If someplace is a directory, it'll automatically download all of its subdirectories as well. If you want to transfer a file through ssh instead of ftp, just change the ftp:// to ssh://.
No you don't. If you leave the port blank, it'll default to the default port for the protocol you selected (port 21 for FTP). If you leave the username blank, it will default to logging in as anonymous.
gFTP will automatically create a ~/.gftp directory when it is first run. Your config file is ~/.gftp/gftprc, and this is where all of gFTP's settings are stored. The config file is well commented, so take a glance at it and see if there is anything you want to change. Your bookmarks are stored in the file ~/.gftp/bookmarks.
Every time gFTP is run, it will log the contents of the log window to ~/.gftp/gftp.log. The contents of this file will be automatically purged this file when gFTP is started up.
If gFTP was compiled with _GNU_SOURCE defined (run gftp --info), then gFTP will use the printf() modifier %'ld. If your LANG environment is set to C, then no commas will be inserted. If you are in the US, change your LANG environment variable to en_US.
Look at the man page for the editor you are using and see if there is a command line argument to have the editor run in the foreground (it won't fork to detact from the current terminal). If you are using one of the graphical VIM editors, you can add the --nofork argument.
You can use the gnome-font-properties program to change the fonts used by all GTK+ 2.x applications.
Edit your ~/.gftp/gftprc file and look at the ext= lines towards the bottom of the file. These lines control what icon is used for each file type. It also controls what mode is used for the file transfer. For example, to transfer all HTML files as binary, change the following two lines:
to the following:
If the server is complaining about the -L option, go under FTP->Options->FTP and disable resolve remote symlinks. If it is complaining about the -a option, go to FTP->Options->General and disable show hidden files.
Go under FTP->Options->FTP and turn off passive file transfers. Instead of sending the PASV command to open up the data connection on the server side, the data connection will be opened up on the client side, and the PORT command will be sent to the server instead.
Go under FTP->Options and hit the FTP tab. Enter HTTP as the proxy type and fill in your proxy server info on that screen. Then hit the HTTP tab and enter your same proxy server info there.
Note: This answer only applies to versions of gFTP >= 2.0.18
You will need to download the source code to gFTP and edit the appropriate po/<lang>.po file. You will need to make sure the following strings are translated exactly as they appear in the SSH client.
Enter passphrase for RSA key
Enter passphrase for key
Please upload the changes to the PO file to GNOME's SVN or email me the updated PO file. If you email me the updates, please make sure that you grab the latest PO file from SVN.
Note: This answer only applies to versions of gFTP <= 2.0.17
What probably is the problem, sftp-server isn't in your path on the remote server. When you try to connect to the remote server, you'll see the command gFTP is trying to run, and it'll look something like:
ssh -e none -l username hostname "echo -n xsftp ; sftp-server"
Try running this command. If you get a prompt asking:
The authenticity of host 'hostname (###.###.###.###)' can't be established.
RSA key fingerprint is xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)?
Tell it yes. gFTP won't even try to answer this question for you at the moment. Then, if you get the following output:
Enter passphrase for key '/home/brian/.ssh/id_dsa':
bash: sftp-server: command not found
You'll have to set the path to the sftp-server program. Alternatively you could go under FTP->Options->SSH and enable Use sftp subsys. If you enable this, then you don't have to know the remote path to your sftp executable. But if you enable this, gFTP won't be able to send your password over to the ssh client. So if you're not using ssh-agent, then ssh will spawn the ssh-askpass program to grab your password.
Note: This answer only applies to versions of gFTP <= 2.0.15
The SSH protocol uses sftp >= 0.7 from http://www.xbill.org/sftp. SSH2 uses the native file transfers found in the commercial SSH2 and in later versions of OpenSSH. The SSH2 protocol uses the sftp-server executable on the remote host and the SSH protocol uses the sftpserv executable.
Note: Due to confusion, the origional SSH protocol was removed in gFTP 2.0.15. It is not shown in gFTP 2.0.14, but there is a config option called enable_old_ssh to enable this protocol.
You must add the public key of your self signed CA to your OpenSSL certs directory. On my Debian box, the OpenSSL certs are installed in /usr/lib/ssl/certs.
Try running
make distclean ; configure --with-included-gettext.
You could alternatively pass
--disable-nlsto configure, and internationalization support will not be compiled in.

Guard Aircraft, Crews Battle California Wildfires
By Air Force Master Sgt. Mike R. Smith
Special to American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 24, 2008 - Army and Air National Guard members from California and North Carolina are supporting firefighting efforts in Northern California today following a state active-duty call-up by California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and a request for airborne firefighting assets by the Interagency Fire Center.
The governor's office reported yesterday that a "swarm of dry lighting cells over the last 16 hours sparked nearly 400 new fires across the state, spanning from Monterey and Fresno counties to the Oregon-California border."
Schwarzenegger declared a state of emergency June 22 for Monterey and Trinity counties. The governor made similar declarations for Butte and Santa Cruz counties June 11 and 12. At least 30 Guard members were operating in Redding, Napa and Stockton.
The Interagency Fire Center reported more than 33,000 wild land fires in the United States this year. More than 1,000 new fires have been reported in California since June 21.
Two specially equipped C-130 Hercules aircraft, aircrews and support assets from the North Carolina Air Guard's 145th Airlift Wing arrived in Chico, Calif., yesterday, adding to 10 other Army and Air National Guard aircraft and aircrews performing firefighting missions in the state.
Four Air Guard C-130s carry special mobile airborne firefighting systems that can drop 3,000 gallons of an orange-colored water and fire-retardant mixture. In addition, four Army National Guard UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters and one CH-47 Chinook helicopter equipped with helibuckets also are suppressing wildfires from a staging area at the Stockton Flight Facility.
Two Army Guard OH-58 Kiowa observation helicopters from Los Alamitos are performing fire-spotting missions out of Mather Air Field, and one RC-26 Metroliner is performing aerial reconnaissance missions. Officials reported additional requests for at least eight Army Guard aircraft from Nevada, Washington and Oregon.
(Air Force Master Sgt. Mike R. Smith serves with the National Guard Bureau.)

A week after a shooting rampage in a Newtown elementary school left 27 people dead -- including 20 first graders and six teachers -- First Lady Michelle Obama penned an open letter to the residents of Newtown, which ran in the Hartford Courant under the title 'Holding You In Our Hearts.'
In the letter, Obama said she was inspired by the heroism of first responders, teachers and children in the school, and proud of the support the entire nation has shown over the past week. And she promised that President Obama will 'use the powers of his office' to find ways to prevent such tragedies in the future.
Here is the full letter:
6:41 p.m. EST, December 20, 2012
Over the past week, we as Americans have been united in our grief as Newtown has laid to rest so many beautiful, innocent children, along with the heroic educators who worked every day to help them achieve their dreams.
As a mother of two young daughters, my heart aches for you and your families. Like so many Americans, I wish there were something - anything - I could do or say to ease your anguish.
But I know that I cannot begin to imagine the depths of your grief. I know that for many of you, the pain you are enduring right now seems unbearable; and many of you may be asking yourselves, how can we go on - as families and as a community?
Over the past week, I have been awed and inspired by Newtown's heroes: the first responders who risked their lives at a moment's notice; the educators whose devotion to their students shone brightest in one of our nation's darkest hours; the children who comforted each other despite their fear; the families coming together to support each other as they grieve.
And I am so proud of the outpouring of love and support that has come from every corner of America: from first responders from neighboring cities rushing to help however they could; from people in Cleveland and Charlotte and Juneau and so many other communities joining together to honor Newtown with their thoughts and prayers; and in living rooms and houses of worship and the halls of our government, where we are beginning to have those difficult conversations about how we can build a safer, more peaceful tomorrow for all our children.
And I want you to know that this is just the beginning. As my husband has said, in the coming weeks, he will use all the powers of his office to engage citizens from across this country to find ways to prevent tragedies like this one. And please know that every minute of every day, we are thinking of you, and praying for you, and holding you and your families in our hearts as you begin the slow and wrenching work of healing and moving forward.
In the months and years ahead, may the memories of those beautiful children and those heroic adults be a blessing for their families, for your community, and for our country, and may God bless you all.
First Lady Michelle Obama, Washington DC

The Fedora Infrastructure Administration homepage is used as a portal to a great deal of our infrastructure. It contains links to our sites, what they are, who we are, who to contact, etc.
For any additional information, go to the Infrastructure wiki page.
Infrastructure pieces
Account System
The Fedora Account System keeps track of Fedora Project contributors and the projects they work on. It is used to grant authentication and authorization to various components. This currently includes the various CVS repositories and Bugzilla .
Bugzilla is the Fedora bug-tracking system and is used to submit and review bugs that have been found in Fedora distributions. Bugzilla is not an avenue for technical assistance or support, but simply a bug tracking system. If you submit a defect, please provide detailed information in your submission after you have queried Bugzilla to ensure the defect has not been reported yet. Defects will go directly to the engineer responsible for the component you filed the defect against. Engineers have many responsibilities and will get to the bugs you have submitted in due time.
Bugzilla is available at:
Bugs related to Fedora Infrastructure are tracked in Fedora's ticketing system Infrastructure Tickets .
You found a bug, Report it!
The purpose of the Contributor License Agreement (CLA) is to establish copyright control under Red Hat, Inc. on behalf of the Fedora Project. By having a single entity hold copyright:
- It is easier to be more flexible with future re-licensing needs
- That one incorporated entity can handle being sued
- The project can act singularly on the behalf of all the code and documentation without having to make costly and lengthy research into responses from every copyright holder
All individual contributors to the Fedora Project are required to agree to the Individual Contributor License Agreement and all of their contributions are subject to it.
Request the The Fedora Project Individual Contributor License Agreement.
Package Database
The Fedora Package Database aims to consolidate the information on the packages present in Fedora. It will allow us to perform queries on packages and their maintainers as well as some of the administrative tasks associated with them (branch co-maintainer requests, etc.)
The Fedora Package Database documentation page contains a lot of useful information. Go ahead and read it.
Updates System
Bodhi is currently deployed and is responsible for pushing package updates for Fedora 7 and beyond. See Infrastructure/UpdatesSystem and the bodhi project homepage for more information.
The Infrastructure agenda Schedule contains information about:
- Ongoing tasks
- Wishlist tasks
- Fedora Infrastructure Agenda
In order to better support the Fedora developers and the community at large, the Infrastructure team has created a ticketing system to track issues, feature requests and anything else related to the Fedora infrastructure.
The Fedora Infrastructure ticketing system requires a valid username and password in the Fedora accounting system. In order to request an account please see the Fedora Account System . Those who are not able to create an account or have a pressing issue that cannot wait for account approval please send an email to tickets (at) fedoraproject [dot] org.
Version Control
The Fedora Infrastructure CVS repository holds such things as the fedora.redhat.com website, the Fedora Core "fedora-release" sources, and a mirror list manager project.
You can request write access by applying for membership in the
cvsfedora group in the Fedora Account System . Furthermore, you must be approved and added to the appropriate ACLs. Normally, write access is granted only to those who are known and have established a prior need to commit to one of the modules in this repository. As a measure to prove yourself, you can always send us patches created using anonymous read-only access. You can file bugs and submit patches against Fedora Infrastructure using Bugzilla .
A web interface for browsing this repository is available:
We are currently discussing the new VCS for some future version of Fedora. Here we compare the following VCS:
- Subversion
- Mercurial
- Bazaar
- Git
Go to the VCS choice page for more information.
MirrorManager is our database tracking all public and private Fedora mirrors. It has an administrative interface at
See Infrastructure/Mirroring for instructions on mirroring Fedora.
Our preferred method of communication is the Mailing list though many of us hang out on IRC. Recently, officers have been chosen to aid in leading certain areas of our Infrastructure.
Mailing list
The mailing list for the Fedora Infrastructure project is email@example.com .
You can find the #fedora-admin channel on freenode .
This is where we hold our weekly meetings. See the Meetings page for details.
The officers list is an attempt to bring more order and ownership to the Fedora Infrastructure.
Who is responsible:
- Infrastructure Lead - Kevin Fenzi
- Build System/Package Manager - Dennis Gilmore
- Security Officer - Luke Macken
- Development Manager - Toshio Kuratomi
The officers generally decide what needs to be done in the day to day operations of the various Fedora infrastructure facilities. The officers themselves work for the developers and end users but ultimately report to the Fedora Project Board. This basically means that we'll try to do whatever we can to fill needs and fix things but if we refuse for whatever reason, the final decision can be made by the Fedora Project Board. Such decisions, however, are rare.
For more information on our officers and governance method see our Officers page.
The Fedora Project has occasionally received donations of hardware which is used for the Fedora Infrastructure.

Miley Cyrus: I 'Smoke Way Too Much F—ing Weed'
WOW! Miley admits — on video — that she's a 'stoner!' Are you shocked?
Miley Cyrus lives life by her own rules, and she will likely shock her fanbase by admitting that she's a pothead!
Miley, 19, was filmed at her 19th birthday party by The Daily, admitting publicly to her marijuana habit. The event — held Nov. 23 at Roosevelt Hotel Beacher's Madhouse Club in Los Angeles — was filled with her friends and family, yet she still made quite a declaration!
"You know you're a stoner when friends make you a Bob Marley cake," she said. "You know you smoke way too much f—ing weed!"
Miley's BFF Kelly Osbourne eggs her on even further, asking, "I thought salvia was your problem, man?"
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers — are you shocked by this news?
UPDATE: Kelly Osbourne speaks out about the TRUTH behind the story!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose last week and factory activity in the nation's Mid-Atlantic region cooled in April, further signs of a moderation in economic growth.
Underscoring the softening growth outlook, another report on Thursday showed a gauge of future economic activity fell in March for the first time in seven months. They were the latest data to indicate a step-back in the economy after a brisk start to the year as tighter fiscal policy began to weigh.
"The evidence is mounting that the economy lost momentum in March and that has carried to April," said Ryan Sweet, a senior economist at Moody's Analytics in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
Economic data for January and February suggested that growth accelerated in the first quarter after activity almost stalled in the final three months of 2012.
But in a replay of the prior two years, the economy appeared to have hit a speed bump at the end of the quarter, with data ranging from employment to retail sales and manufacturing weakening significantly in March.
Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 352,000, the Labor Department said. The four-week moving average for new claims, a better measure of labor market trends, rose 2,750 to 361,250.
While claims rose last week, they were still at levels economists normally associate with average monthly job gains of more than 150,000. That helped ease concerns of a deterioration in labor market conditions after an increase in nonfarm payrolls in March was the smallest in nine months.
"Labor market conditions still appear to be grinding forward, but pushing against the weight of a slowing economy and subdued confidence," said Jim Baird, chief investment officer at Plante Moran Financial Advisors in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
In separate report, the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank said its business activity index fell to 1.3 in April from 2.0 in March. A reading above zero indicates expansion in the region's manufacturing.
It came on the heels of data this week showing a sharp slowdown in factory activity in New York state in April and a dip in national manufacturing output last month.
Details of the survey, which covers factories in eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and Delaware, showed weakness. Measures of factory employment and new orders contracted.
Inventories fell sharply after being flat in March, an indication that stock accumulation will not contribute to growth in the second quarter. Inventories are expected to have significantly boosted output in the first three months of 2013.
"This report has to raise some concerns that the nation's manufacturing sector may be starting to feel the impact of the higher taxes on households and the cutbacks in government spending," said Joel Naroff, chief economist at Naroff Economic Advisors in Holland, Pennsylvania.
A third report supported views the economy was again headed for a soft patch this spring. The Conference Board said its Leading Economic Index slipped 0.1 percent last month, the first decline since August.
The data provides ammunition for the Federal Reserve to maintain its aggressive policy easing, despite a rift among policymakers on continuing asset purchases.
"Growth is continuing, but a spring slowdown looks to be in place. The numbers support the view of many at the Fed that the end of the liquidity surge is nowhere in sight," said Naroff.
On Thursday, Minneapolis Fed President Narayana Kocherlakota said the purchases of government bonds and mortgage-backed securities were necessary to boost employment but said they would cause financial market instability for years.
U.S. stocks ended down for the third day this week on the downbeat data, with the Standard & Poor's 500 index breaking below its 50-day moving average for the first time this year. Treasury debt prices gained slightly, while the dollar fell marginally against a basket of currencies.
Last week's claims data covered the survey period for April nonfarm payrolls. Claims increased 11,000 between the March and April survey periods.
Given recent volatility because of the early Easter and school spring breaks this year, claims are probably not useful in trying to gauge April payrolls.
Employers added 88,000 workers to their payrolls last month after a solid 268,000 increase in February. While job growth has slowed in line with the overall economy, economists said March's meager gains overstated the labor market's weakness.
"We see nothing in the jobless claims data to either suggest that job growth has deteriorated further since March or even to support the view that March's payroll gain represents a new trend," said John Ryding, chief economist at RDQ Economics in New York.

Smart sex toys and wifi-enabled NSFW devices have become increasingly prevalent in the adult toy marketplace. On the one hand, these devices have the potential to improve cyber sex beyond all measure. On the other, there's nothing like one's own hand to do the trick, when there's miles between you and nothing but video chat to tether the connection. And some might wonder, why bother adding another element into the mix?
Would you use a remote controllable, wifi-enabled sex toy with your long-distance lover? Have you, already?

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. service companies expanded at a slightly faster pace in January. New orders, sales and hiring showed strength in a sign that financial firms, retailers and information technology companies foresee stronger growth.
The Institute for Supply Management, a trade group of purchasing managers, said Wednesday that its service-sector index rose to 54 from 53 in December. Any reading above 50 indicates expansion.
The improvement points to continued economic gains for the service industry, despite some challenges posed by freezing temperatures and winter storms last month.
The survey covers businesses that employ 90 percent of the U.S. workforce, including retail, construction, health care and financial services firms. Because these companies are less sensitive to nasty weather than manufacturers are, the January figure suggests that a reported slowdown at factories last month was due in part to the winter chill rather than to broader weakness in the economy.
The services sector has experienced "slow, incremental growth" for the past four years and is on a sustainable path, said Anthony Nieves, chairman of ISM's services survey.
"It's been chugging along very steady," said Nieves, adding that the 4½-year-old recovery from the Great Recession has been "very resilient even with the ups and downs."
A measure of new orders rose 0.5 points to 50.9. The measure for hiring rose 0.8 points to 56.4, the highest reading since November 2010.
The improved employment measure could point to solid jobs gains in the January employment report being released Friday by the Labor Department, said Maninder Sibia, an economist for Contingent Macro Advisors.
Earlier this week, the ISM said its survey on manufacturing plunged to 51.3 in January from 56.5 in December, partly because cold weather delayed shipments of raw materials and caused some factories to shut down. The drop rattled the stock market as evidence that the economic strength coming out of last year might be starting to fade.
The economy has lost some momentum after expanding at an annualized 3.2 percent annual rate in the final quarter of 2013.
Orders to U.S. factories fell 1.5 percent in December. Incomes were practically flat that month as well. Auto sales slipped 3 percent in January. And the U.S. stock market plunged in recent weeks on turmoil coming out of emerging market economies such as China and Turkey.
But the modest increase in the ISM's services index raises the possibility that the economy will soon emerge from any cold spell. Many economists project overall economic growth this year of 3 percent or more, the strongest improvement since 2005.

- Recipe
Marble Pound Cake
1 packet cocoa powder (included) 1 packet pound cake mix (included)
2 Tbs. hot water 2 eggs
1 Tbs. melted unsalted butter ¼ cup (60 g) plus 2 Tbs. sour cream
12 Tbs. (1½ sticks/185 g) unsalted butter 2 Tbs. milk
Have all the ingredients (except the hot water) at room temperature. Preheat oven to 325°F (165°C). Spray a 4-by-8-inch (10-by-20-cm) loaf pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Put the cocoa powder in a bowl, add the hot water and the 1 Tbs. melted butter and blend with a rubber spatula until smooth; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat the 12 Tbs. butter on low speed until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the cake mix, eggs, sour cream and milk and beat until blended, about 1 minute. Stop the mixer and scrape down the sides of the bowl. Increase the speed to high and beat for 1 minute.
Remove 1 cup (250 ml) of the batter and stir into the cocoa mixture until blended and no streaks remain. Spoon the white and chocolate batters alternately into the prepared pan in a checkerboard fashion. Using a butter knife, swirl the batters together in a figure-eight pattern. Tap the pan on the countertop to release any air bubbles.
Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 60 to 65 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Invert the pan onto the rack and lift off the pan. Let the cake cool completely. Serves 8 to 10.

Last weekend, I designed a Baby Bird Baby Shower. Using a neutral theme of cream, grey and ivory, I created a charming event that was perfect for a January shower. Above is the invitation with the glittered bird.
For the favors, I made baby bird sugar cookies...
For cookie decorating, I always use disposable pastry bags with the ends snipped off. It is a very easy, no-fuss method of decorating... no pastry tips and no cleaning bags! For the icing, I use royal icing.
4 egg whites
4 cups of powdered sugar
Beat the egg whites until almost frothy, then add sugar. You may need to add more sugar to reach a thick icing.
Step 1 : Pipe base color as a wing...
Step 2 : "Glitter" the wing using sanding sugar.
Step 3 : Pipe the remaining body of the bird in the same base color, leaving the beak, feet and breast.
Step 4 : Accent the bird with a white breast and pale peach feet and beak.
Step 5 : Add a white eye after the body has hardened.
I made three colors : Ivory, Cream & Grey
I displayed the cookies in a basket. They were packaged in clear bags tied with 'angel fleece' yarn.
For the food display table, I used a linen drapery panel to which I applied 'baby' letters made of yarn wrapped pipe-cleaners. Above, I hung onsies from a yarn clothesline with clothespins. The food was displayed on white platters and cake pedestals with white peonies in bud vases.
I made the letters by forming letters in pipe-cleaners, then wrapping them with yarn.
I quick stitched the letters onto the linen panel.
The Menu :
Ham & Asparagus Quiche
Crab and Chive Quiche
Fruit Platter with Fluffy Fruit Dip
Cinnamon Sugar Monkey Bread
Spinach, Strawberry & Pecan Salad
Baby Bird Sugar Cookies

Bill Vazan
Canadian, b. 1933
Outline, 1990
109.2 x 152.4 x 61 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Sophie Beauchemin
Sculpture, Canadian Contemporary (1980-present)
Internationally renowned for his land art creations, Bill Vazan has spent more than 40 years investigating the human-cosmos relationship through sculpture, painting, and photography. Since the early 1980s the artist has been engraving boulders that he selects because of their specific inherent qualities. The engraved imagery he creates is a result of years of research and travel during which time Vazan examined the prehistoric symbols of many cultures, particularly those symbols painted onto or cut into stone. His interest in the very beginning of humankind, in the act of creation, is exemplified by Outline. In trying to recapture or regenerate that power, Outline becomes almost a sacred spirit making us aware of our connection to the earth and time.

This Privacy Policy specifically defines why and how we collect, use and disclose your personal information.
1. Why does MHS gather personal information?
2. How will MHS use my personal information?
3. How do I change or update my personal information or opt out of receiving marketing materials?

5. Statement of Compliance
6. Test Disclosure
1. Why does MHS gather personal information?
(a) Why does MHS collect my personal information?
To purchase MHS products, customers must be registered with MHS. The purchase process involves completion of a Qualification Form to determine eligibility to purchase restricted products. You are asked to provide your name, social security number or tax identification number, address, license number, credit card information and other personal or non-personal information which are required in order to process your purchase request as well as maintain your customer account.
To become EQ-i® or MSCEIT™ certified, MHS requires completion of the relevant assessment tool as well as other personal information gathered through the Qualification Form and purchase process.
(b) Do I have to provide you with my personal data?
You may visit and browse the MHS Online Catalog or make general inquiries without providing any personal information. You will need to register with MHS if you would like to make a purchase of our products and services. By completing the purchase process you consent to MHS' Privacy Policy.
Before purchasing through the MHS Online Catalog, please read the additional Terms and Conditions.
All prices are subject to change without notice. Customers are responsible for any applicable duties and taxes. Prepayment by credit card (Visa, MasterCard or American Express) is required for all orders. If prices on your order are incorrect, we reserve the right to adjust the invoice amount by up to 10% unless otherwise stated on your order.
(c) What kind of personal information does MHS need to keep on record?
MHS retains personal information in order to maintain customer accounts and/or to maintain a record of your certification status. Certification results are retained by MHS but are de-identified and never disclosed to a third party, including an employer, without prior consent. MHS also retains aggregate, non-person-specific data obtained from the processing of MHS products and services, for research and statistical purposes for internal use by MHS, its affiliates, subsidiaries, licensees, successors, assigns, suppliers, and advertisers. Your identity is kept strictly anonymous.
2. How will MHS use my personal information?
(a) Will you share my information with anyone else, like marketing companies?
Under no circumstances does MHS sell, rent, distribute, or release personal information to a third party, unless required to do so by law, in the course of a merger or acquisition, due diligence, or sale of assets. MHS may use your personal information and transaction history to generate statistics and aggregate reports for internal use as well as to extend further sales and service offerings via telephone, mail, or other electronic means.
MHS uses your personal information to process your order and contact you in response to your request. We may use it to send you marketing materials about additional information about the products and services that we offer.
Please note that MHS has no responsibility for the privacy policies and practices on websites that may be linked to our website or to companies that may provide additional products or services. You should refer to those organizations' privacy policies to learn how they collect, use and disclose information about you.
(b) How do you ensure my personal information is safe?
Purchasing test materials or administrations or becoming certified by MHS does not involve the transfer of personal information of our client's customers. With respect to our scoring software, MHS does not receive, create, or use identifiable personal information, including personal health information through its software. MHS' scoring software, e.g., PsychManager™ or SmartLink™ are stand-alone platforms that are intended to run on a single desktop, but can be integrated into a network of PCs. No personal information is disclosed to MHS while using the software.
In regards to our mail/fax scoring services, MHS encourages our customers to provide client ID numbers (not a Social Insurance Number (SIN) or a Social Security Number (SSN)) rather than a client's name on the response sheet so that MHS does not receive any identifiable personal information about a client. By doing this, MHS has no way to link the ID number with a specific individual. MHS will, however, accept, for scoring purposes, any response sheets that contain a client's name, age, responses, and other personal information. Answer sheets, once received, are kept in a locked, access-restricted cabinet. Those that are faxed, are accessible on our internal network only by client service representatives and others authorized to access such material.
To further protect the data transmitted to MHS, MHS' online scoring services shall encrypt access passwords, which mean that identifiable data is made accessible only to our customers or their designated administrators ("Administrators"). Administrators will be prompted to change their existing password the first time they log into the MHS Scoring Organizer. The client's information, including any personal information, is not accessible by MHS unless an Administrator provides MHS with his or her protected password. MHS will be able to reset a password, at the request, of an Administrator if necessary.
Any personal information contained in the Qualification Form that is mailed or faxed to MHS is stored in a locked cabinet or in a locked room with access restrictions. To protect the privacy of information sent electronically, including your name, address, email and credit card number, and your client's test results, a secure server is utilized. MHS employs an advanced security system, Secure Socket Layers (SSL) encryption technology to protect the transmission of your information. For example, only when personal information reaches MHS' online store server is your the information decrypted. However, we remind you that given the nature of internet communications, your communications may be susceptible to data corruption, interception and/or delays, and your privacy cannot be guaranteed.
(c) What will MHS do in the event of a potential breach involving client's information?
In the event that MHS becomes aware of a security breach which MHS believes has resulted or may result in a risk of harm in the unauthorized access, use or disclosure to nonpublic personal information of our clients, MHS will promptly investigate the matter and notify the applicable parties of such breach. Such investigation will be without delay, consistent with (1) legitimate needs of law enforcement and the Privacy Commissioner's Office; (2) measures necessary to determine the scope of the breach; (3) efforts to identify the individuals affected; and (4) steps to identify cause of breach and restore the reasonable integrity of our secure server.
MHS employees, customers and/or sponsors are required to contact the Privacy Officer immediately when made aware of a potential breach or any privacy noncompliance issue at MHS.
(d) How does MHS use information received from website visitors?
Our website obtains information that is automatically generated by a user's Internet Service Provider (ISP). This information may include the IP address, domain types, the browser type used to access our site, the location of the ISP's servers, the pages of our site that the user views during the visit, any search terms entered on this site, the website address and email address of a user, and any other information transmitted from the user. This information may be collected for system administration purposes, to gather broad demographic information, to monitor the level of activity on the site, for technical support, and to improve our website by responding to customer interests and needs.
MHS does not link IP addresses to personal information; however, we reserve the right to link IP addresses and other information supplied by the ISP to personally identifiable information for security purposes in order to protect the integrity of our system.
(e) Does MHS use cookies?
Cookies are small text files that a website transfers to your computer's browser. We may use cookies to measure traffic patterns, to personalize content and to control security. The cookies we use supply non- personally identifiable information, but may identify your computer, browser, and Internet specifications.
(f) How long does MHS keep information about me?
After you have completed what you registered for, MHS will, as a matter of policy keep on file a record of (i) the products and services you have purchased; (ii) your certification status; (iii) your contact information; and (iv) any aggregate de-personalized information including test data, indefinitely.
3. How do I change or update my personal information or opt out of receiving marketing materials?
(a) How can I update my information or opt out of receiving marketing materials?

What do bobbies learn on the beat?
Every police chief in Britain started out as a humble beat officer. Why are proposals to scrap that tradition in England and Wales causing such anger?
For those unfamiliar with the culture and traditions of British policing, and the almost mythic status of the "bobby on the beat," it sounds like a very modest reform.
Her Majesty's Inspector of Constabulary Tom Winsor believes the only way to make policing a more attractive career to students at top universities is to recruit about 80 "direct entry" graduates a year into the rank of inspector.
In the shorter term, he wants to poach "exceptional individuals" from "the military, the security services, industry, commerce and the professions" and train them to become superintendents, a higher rank than inspector, within 15 months. It typically takes a newly recruited constable up to 25 years to reach that level.
He also wants chief officers from overseas to be eligible for equivalent roles in England and Wales.
The move could see officers becoming chief constables in their 30s, instead of in their 40s. Police Minister Damian Green has launched a consultation on the proposals, which will run until March, with an announcement on possible legislation to follow in the summer.
But for police union leaders - already at war with the government over cuts to pay, pensions and staff and elected crime commissioners - this apparently innocuous plan, details of which were confirmed on Wednesday, strikes at the very core of what it means to be a police officer in England and Wales.
"Do you have to have been a shelf-stacker to be the chairman of Marks and Spencer? Absolutely not," says Police Federation vice-chairman Steve White.
"But the police service is unique. It is a unique set of skills. We feel very strongly that you have to have that grounding."
Breaking up fights in city centres on a Saturday night, turning up alone to violent "domestics", delivering the bad news to relatives of murder victims - these kind of experiences shape a young officer's character and ability to lead, he argues.
"Sometimes you have got to be able to make decisions instantly. It is not like working in a bank, where you can sit and ponder stuff.
"Police officers have a sixth sense which is built up over time. It is like the X Factor."
Without that X Factor, you risk turning officers into out-of-touch, over-educated technocrats that no longer have anything in common with the people they are policing, he claims.
"If we are not careful we are going to end up with a paramilitary-style organisation - the only time you will see the police is when they are arresting you or dealing with a riot."
Several police forces, including Britain's largest, the Metropolitan Police, already have graduate recruitment schemes. They all insist that recruits spend time on the beat.
But Tom Winsor wants to dispense with that stage for graduates from top universities to make a police career a more attractive alternative to the City or the professions.
As Winsor himself points out, in a 1,000-page report published last year, this goes against one of the founding principles of policing in Britain.Independent Review of Police Officer and Staff Remuneration and Conditions, March 2012 [1.31MB]
When the Metropolitan Police was created in 1829, it had to reassure the public it was not a standing army - and so sought to recruit men from the labouring classes rather than the middle and upper tiers of society.
The Met's founders wanted to create a democratic body that was "in tune with the people" and so deliberately avoided the two-tier system of recruitment that existed in the army.
Instead, they recruited men who were literate but "who had not the rank, habits or station of gentlemen".
The spiritual heirs of these early recruits could be seen last year sporting "PC Pleb and proud" T-shirts as they protested against the alleged class-based slurs of government chief whip - and former army officer - Andrew Mitchell. Mitchell strenuously denies using the word "pleb".
Winsor, a former rail regulator, argues that far from keeping the police in touch with the public they serve, this deeply ingrained "blue collar" attitude is out-of-step with the modern world and is holding police officers back.
In an era of cybercrime and complex fraud, a higher calibre of recruit is needed, he argues in his report.
"Policing today is entirely different, and yet so much of its ethos is of the past. The attitudes of some police officers today remain fastened in that mindset."
He wants to raise the pass mark on the police entrance exam, introduce annual testing and a requirement that all new recruits have three A-levels.
"For too long, the police service has recruited the great majority of its officers from too narrow a stratum of society, and formal intellectual attainment has played too little a part in recruitment," he says.
Winsor, who declined to be interviewed for this piece, has faced a fierce backlash from the Police Federation over the fact that he is the first HM Inspector of Constabulary not to have been a serving police officer.
"He hasn't spent a single day in uniform anywhere. We think from a respect perspective that puts him at a major disadvantage," says Steve White.
Any officer brought in at the rank of inspector, without serving their time as a bobby, would face similar hostility from some officers, according to a 53-year-old former constable from Merseyside, who did not want to be named.
"There would be some resentment," he says, adding that he has seen many "buffoons" promoted just because they are "good at exams". He suggests that officers with academic qualifications can sometimes "rub members of the public up the wrong way".
Other rank-and-file officers say they would have no problem working for business executives with no policing experience, as there is a need for better quality management.
"Somebody who works for Asda or Tesco has probably got about three or four thousand people working under them, which is about the same as a chief superintendent. I don't see the difference," says a 39-year-old constable, who works in a large city on the south coast of England.
He admits he would not have got into the police today, as he does not have A-Levels, and says his graduate colleagues find the multiple choice sergeant's exam "laughably easy".
Police Minister Damian Green will unveil plans to "open up the police to a wider pool of talent" at the same time as nurturing internal talent through the College of Policing.
If Winsor's proposals are accepted in full, it will no doubt spark a furious backlash from the Police Federation, already fuming about the decision to cut the starting salary for officers in England and Wales, who have come straight from school.
There is a suspicion among some rank-and-file officers that Winsor wants to use these reforms to make it easier push through other, even more controversial, changes.
"Breaking down resistance to change in an organisation with a strong internal culture often requires an injection of influence from outsiders. Looking at our current senior police leadership, I sympathise hugely with Winsor's desire to replace them as soon as possible," says Inspector Gadget, a serving police officer who writes an anonymous blog.
"The only thing which worries me is would senior people from elsewhere be any better?"
