Crescentrating, the world's leading authority on halal travel, and the world's leading group travel provider Kuoni Group Travel Experts, have announced a global partnership that will enable Kuoni Group Travel Experts to market Crescentrated halal friendly group travel arrangements. It will see Muslim families, leisure and MICE groups enjoy better travel experiences around the world thanks to a network of Crescentrating accredited travel agents in Asia.
The partnership launched at the Global Islamic Economy Summit in Dubai (25-26 November). FazalBahardeen, Crescentrating's CEO, spoke at the event alongside several of Kuoni's hotel partners, to highlight the value of the global Islamic economy andlatest trends within halal industries such as food, travel and lifestyle.
Reaching 1.6 billion people in 2010, the world's Muslim population is expected to increase by about 35% in the next 20 years. 72 countries today have a million or more Muslim inhabitants and the majority (about 60%) live in the Asia-Pacific region. Indonesia, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh have the largest Muslim populations.1
As well as launching their first brochure – aimed at businesses selling travel to Muslim clients – in Asia next month, Kuoni Group Travel Experts and Crescentrating will also work together to develop new group travel products and enhanced travel booking and management services for the Muslim travel market. Crescentrating reports that the new partnership will be of enormous benefit to the travel segment of the world's Muslim population. Dominating the group travel market and organising around 45,000 leisure tours every year, Kuoni Group Travel Experts create and deliver tailor-made programs for communities of travellers and MICE organisers with similar interests, be they social, cultural, religious or demographic.
Olivier Moeschler, Kuoni Group Travel Expert's Senior Vice President forSales and Marketing Asia Pacific & the Americas, comments: "We look forward to developing our partnership with Crescentrating as we further expand our range of halal friendly travel destinations, accommodation and experiences. Muslim families and travel groups can be assured of enjoying their travel with accommodation and service providers rated by Crescentrating, whose credibility is beyond question."
Dany Bolduc, Chief Operating Officer for Crescentrating says: "Crescentrating, together with Kuoni Group Travel Experts, is committed to establishing a leadership position in Muslim group travel, a huge and underserved market worth US $130 billion in 2013. By combining our strengths and knowledge of this market, we can offer unique and curated group travel packages that are tailor-made for Muslim travellers, attentively managed by Crescentrated accredited travel agents."
Reto Kaufmann, Kuoni Group Travel Expert's Head of MICE Sales Asia, adds: "Last year, we saw room nights booked by group travellers from these four countries rise: particularly Indonesia and India – enjoying double digit increases– while Bangladesh quadrupled.And it's not just leisure travel, more and more of Asia's businesses rely on Kuoni Group Travel Experts to ensure the seamlessproject management of their meetings, incentives, congresses and events from the moment they land to their point of departure. Many of them have large numbers of Muslim delegates with specific halal or religious requirements."
In Asia, China, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand also offer significant numbers of potential Muslim travellers. For example China, with a Muslim population numbering 23 million, saw room nights booked with Kuoni Group Travel Experts rise 6% last year.
Crescentrating has a very clear vision: to enable Muslims to explore the world with peace of mind by leading the growth of 'halal friendly travel' to benefit travellers, travel service providers and the community as a whole. Crescentrating has devised a set of rating standards that is recognised internationally in the travel industry. It allows hotels and service providers to be rated based on the services and facilities that they provide for the needs of halal-conscious travellers. Their rating system is separated into areas such as halal food andSalaath (prayer) facilities, services during Ramadan and the level of non-halal activities in the hotel. In order for an establishment to be Crescentrated, they must provide at least the minimum level of service in each area.

Enjoy a walk along the south beach to reach this park. The park has playgrounds, basketball courts and also benches for people to relax.
The south beach also offers visitors with the opportunities of swimming and enjoying a banana boat ride. Towards the northern end of the peninsula is an estuary that has Mangrove Forests. Explore this forest area and spot crocodiles, herons, and red snappers. From any pier on the northern side of the city you can request fishermen to take you for a boat ride towards the forest area.
Puntarenas also has a marine park that has manta rays and fishes from the Pacific Ocean. There is also a splash pool and a snack stall at the park. Pay a visit to the Museo Historico Marino that tells visitors about the history of the area. If you are interested in art, then visit the La Casa de La Cultura, a wonderful art gallery in the city.

Located off the coast of French Guiana is the Salvation Island. Known as the Les Iles du Salut, the island is an interesting place to visit. The island was once known to have the infamous French penal colony, one of the most feared prisons. The Salvation Island comprises of three islands namely the Ile Royale, Ile St Joseph, and the Ile du Diable.
The smallest of the three islands is the Ile du Diable or the Devil's Island. This island was used for housing political prisoners. This island has rocky shores and is a bit difficult to access. There is a small hotel on the island and also a museum. Guided tours of the island and the prisons are available.
The Ile Royale is the largest of the three islands and served as the administrative headquarters. There were a number of houses and official buildings on the island that have been converted into hotels and various facilities for visitors. Most of the cruise ships dock at the harbour of the Ile Royale.
The Ile St Joseph was a solitary confinement for prisoners. The prison bars are now covered with vine foliage. This island has white sandy beaches and visitors can also take a refreshing dip in the shallow waters surrounding the island.
Visitors to the Salvation Island can spot a wide variety of wildlife such as macaws, agoutis, capuchins and sea turtles.
There are no masjids or halal facilities available on the island. However, the restaurants serve some good seafood and vegetarian options.
Pokhara City is one of the major travel destinations in Nepal. The third largest city of the country, it is surrounded by beautiful lakes and exotic natural beauty.

The town is surrounded by lots of scenic waterfalls, beaches and rivers. The Cabo Blanco Nature Reserve is located close to the town and is a great place to see natural beauty. The Montezuma Falls close to the town has three sets each falling into the other and then into the pool. It is difficult to climb the falls. The beach in the town is not very clean, walk a bit further to the northern end of the town where the beaches are clean. There are also a few nice and secluded beaches to the south of the town.
There are a few shops in the town that sell clothes, souvenirs and other important items.
The best way to travel around the town is on foot. Bus service is available to ply visitors to the Cabo Blanco National Park and Mal Pais.
Located in the Andean foothills of Ecuador is the small town of Mindo. The town is a popular destination among birdwatchers and also attracts people interested in nature. The town is set in lovely cloud-forest, the Mindo-Nambillo Cloud Forest.

Labour hopes to wrest back control of Goresbrook ward in Barking, the BNP's only council seat in the capital which it won last year with 52 per cent of the vote. The Liberal Democrats and Greens have agreed not to stand in today's by-election.
Labour believes a powerful weapon in persuading working-class voters not to back the BNP is to label it as "Nazi" and now a landmark ruling by the Standards Board for England has allowed the description.
The BNP said the label was "extremely offensive".

As reported in The Enterprise last month:
(This makes it official since the Patriots hadn't announced it previously as Vega was under contract to Winnipeg until Feb. 15).
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots have signed DL Jason Vega. Terms of the contract were not announced.
Vega, 25, is a native of Brockton, Mass. and played college football at Northeastern. The 6-foot-4, 255-pounder, played for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League in 2011 and 2012, registering 66 tackles and 12 sacks in his two seasons.
Glen Farley has covered sports for The Enterprise since 1978. His time on the Patriots beat dates back to the final year of the Raymond Berry regime, 1989. You could say his roots lie in Foxboro. He once won an award for a piece he wrote on the sod at Gillette Stadium.

McDonald's fell the most in nine months after posting second-quarter profit and revenue that trailed analysts' estimates and saying economic weakness would hurt results for the remainder of the year.
McDonald's slid 2.7 percent to $97.53 at 11:37 a.m. in New York after falling 3.2 percent for the biggest intraday drop since Oct. 19. The Oak Brook, Ill.-based company's shares had gained 14 percent this year through July 19, while the Standard & Poor's 500 Restaurants Index rose 17 percent.
Chief Executive Officer Donald Thompson has been trying to attract consumers with less expensive fare, such as Dollar Menu foods in the U.S. and combo meals in Europe. Sales at global stores open at least 13 months rose 1 percent in the quarter, matching the average estimate of analysts surveyed by Consensus Metrix.
"There are folks for whom it's an economic decision to go to McDonald's, and they're not going," Bryan Elliott, an Atlanta-based analyst at Raymond James Financial Inc., said in an interview. "We need to see a meaningful rise in purchasing power" among McDonald's customers, he said.
July same-store sales are projected to be unchanged from last year, Thompson said Monday in a statement. "Based on recent sales trends, our results for the remainder of the year are expected to remain challenged," he said.
Net income rose 3.7 percent to $1.4 billion, or $1.38 a share, from $1.35 billion, or $1.32, a year earlier, the company said. Foreign currency exchange-rate fluctuations reduced profit by 2 cents a share in the quarter. Analysts estimated $1.40 a share, the average of 27 projections compiled by Bloomberg.
"Several currencies weakened against the U.S. dollar during the quarter," Chief Financial Officer Peter Bensen said during a conference call today. Currency translation will negatively affect 2013 profit by 7 cents to 9 cents a share, he said.
The U.S. Dollar Index, which IntercontinentalExchange Inc. uses to monitor the greenback against the currencies of six U.S. trade partners, gained 3.6 percent this year through July 19.
Revenue rose 2.4 percent to $7.08 billion in the quarter, trailing analysts' average estimate of $7.09 billion.
Same-store sales rose 1 percent in the U.S., lagging behind estimates for a 1.5 percent gain, according to Consensus Metrix, a researcher owned by Wayne, N.J.-based Kaul Advisory Group.
McDonald's has faced a U.S. consumer environment where unemployment has been stuck above 7.5 percent for 54 straight months. Competitors also are introducing new items - Burger King Worldwide has smoothies and soft-serve ice cream, while Yum Brands' Taco Bell is testing a $1 menu.
During the past month, McDonald's has increased advertising for its value items to drive more customers into restaurants, Peter Saleh, a New York-based analyst at Telsey Advisory Group, said Monday in an interview. The consumer environment is volatile in the U.S., he said.
"There's no good footing," Saleh said.
Comparable-store sales declined 0.1 percent in Europe and 0.3 percent in the company's Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa region, during the quarter. Analysts estimated drops of 0.1 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively. Same-store sales are an indicator of a company's growth because they include only older restaurants.
In Europe, McDonald's is facing a cash-strapped consumer. The Big Mac seller this year has been promoting less expensive items, such as combo meals and 1 euro burgers, in Germany and France, the company's two biggest European markets. The fast- food chain gets about one-third of its revenue from countries in its Europe segment.
McDonald's has about 34,500 stores globally, of which 19 percent are owned by the company.

Curt Schilling's troubled 38 Studios laid off its entire staff in Rhode Island and Maryland on Thursday in a stunning turn of events for the former Red Sox pitcher's ambitious gambit to build a video game franchise off the back of a winning baseball career.
The decision comes less than two weeks after 38 Studios' financial woes surfaced and deep cracks began appearing in the six-year-old company. It was lured from Maynard to Rhode Island on the promise of a $75 million loan guarantee from a state hoping Schilling's vision could bring high-paying jobs.
"I'm stunned, and I'm heartbroken,'' said R.A. Salvatore, a Leominster fantasy author who was a consultant to 38 Studios and whose son worked at the company. "This is one of the best teams I've ever seen assembled. They were doing amazing work.''
The company, which employed more than 400 full-time workers and contractors, moved to Providence in April 2011 and by February of this year had released its first game, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning.
But 38 Studios missed its May 1 payment of $1.1 million to Rhode Island and did not have enough cash to meet its payroll on May 15. To stay afloat, it asked Rhode Island for more money, applying for $8.4 million in film-tax credits, which it could then sell to other companies seeking to lower their tax bills.
The company did not inform Rhode Island Governor Lincoln Chafee about the layoff. Chafee said the state has not been able to confirm how many workers were let go and has struggled to get other critical details since 38 Studios ran into financial trouble.
Still, Chafee said he is open to working with the company to help find ways for it to survive.
"I have not given up,'' he said. "But I am also a realist. What we've learned from [industry] experts is grim news. Very, very grim.''

S.A. marathon stop leaps to December date
By Richard Oliver : December 11, 2012 : Updated: December 12, 2012 8:21am
The Rock 'n' Roll San Antonio Marathon and 1/2 Marathon, which has battled heat issues on its dates the past three years, will be moved to Dec. 8 effective next year.
Josh Furlow, senior vice president for operations for the Competitor Group, which oversees the event, confirmed the date change. The San Antonio stop had originally been set for Nov. 17 in 2013.
"You can never guess what Mother Nature can deal us, but it will help to shift a couple of weeks later into the month of December," Furlow said by phone from the organization's offices in San Diego.
The distance race celebrated its fifth anniversary on San Antonio streets Nov. 11, with more than 21,000 runners, cyclists and wheelchair racers taking part. Temperatures, however, climbed into the 80s by midday.
In 2010, runner Jorge Fernandez, completing his half marathon in temperatures in the mid-70s, collapsed shortly after the finish line and died. An autopsy later determined he likely had suffered from heat stroke.
City manager Sheryl Sculley, a spearhead in bringing the competition to San Antonio, and assistant city manager Ed Belmares, charged with working with the Competitor Group on the event, met last week to discuss potential changes.
"We had looked, and the average difference in temperature between those dates was 11 degrees," Belmares said of moving the race from November to early December. "It's an average, of course, and it's hard to tell. But every year, we just try to make the race better."
Because of expected construction in and around downtown next year, the 26.2- and 13.1-mile routes will undergo some notable changes to be determined, Belmares said.
Officials with the Competitor Group will arrive in San Antonio today for meetings with city officials on course changes for 2013. They will also examine how last month's race unfolded operationally.
The date change may or may not have a major impact on temperatures. It was 66 degrees at 6 a.m. on Dec. 8 last week, with temperatures climbing to 77 later in the day.
"We looked at a couple of date options," Furlow said, stressing that Dec. 8 was the best option in coordinating available dates for the Convention Center, Alamodome, hotels and other city operations.
The Competitor Group, which was recently sold to private equity group Calera Capital, also announced that a special discount of $20 — its largest of the year — will be offered today for runners wishing to sign up for the 2013 Rock 'n' Roll stop. Information can be found at runrocknroll.competitor.com.

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Liu Weimin's Regular Press Conference on April 26, 2012
2012/04/27 |
On April 26, 2012, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Liu Weimin held a press conference. Q: The Philippine Department of Foreign Affairs said that the country will submit the sovereignty issue of the Huangyan Island to the International Tribunal on the Law of the Sea. How does China comment? A: The Huangyan Island is the inherent territory of China. It is not a problem for international arbitration. Any international organization's involvement on the issue of territorial sovereignty or maritime rights and interests should abide by relevant procedures and rules. Unilaterally playing this issue up can not help solve the issue at all. Q: The Philippines claimed that it would open a school on the Zhongye Island. How does China comment? What is the latest development of the Huangyan Island incident? Separately, Vice Premier Li Keqiang starts his visit to Russia today, which coincides with the China-Russia joint naval exercise. Is there any special significance about his visit? What outcomes does China expect for this visit? Thirdly, an article published on a Chinese media website analyses the modernization and reform of the Russian economy, drawing foreign attention. How does China comment? A: China has indisputable sovereignty over the Xisha Islands and their adjacent waters. China opposes any country's illegal activities that violate China's sovereignty. We hope the Philippines will uphold the spirit of the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea (DOC), refrain from any actions that will complicate or amplify the dispute and affect peace and stability of the South China Sea, and do not engage in petty actions any more. The Huangyan Island issue is caused by the Philippines' infringement of China's sovereignty and harassment of Chinese fishing boats and fishermen. After the incident, China has been endeavouring to settle it through diplomatic means. Relevant officials of the Chinese Foreign Ministry made solemn representations with the Philippines many times in Beijing. The Chinese Embassy in the Philippines has also made unremitting efforts to properly solve the issue in order to maintain the sound and steady development of China-Philippines relations in Manila. The Philippines should provide due treatment and convenience to Chinese diplomats in the Philippines for them to fulfil their duties in accordance with the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. China will continue to firmly defend its territorial sovereignty. We demand the Philippines to take China's concerns seriously, truly respect China's territorial sovereignty, refrain from any more actions that will complicate, amplify or internationlize the situation, do not draw other countries in or ask them to choose side, stop making false, legally unjustifiable and misleading remarks. The Philippines should make efforts to restore peace and security over the Huangyan Island as soon as possible. On your second question, Vice Premier Li Keqiang starts his visit to Russia today. During his visit, Vice Premier Li Keqiang will have talks and meet with Russian leaders for in-depth discussion on China-Russia relations and major issues of mutual interest. He will also reach out to people from all sectors of the Russian society, make a speech in the Moscow University, attend the opening ceremony of China-Russia Trade and Investment Promotion Conference and meet with friendly personnel committed to China-Russia friendship, business leaders and representatives of Second World War veterans. Vice Premier Li Keqiang will also visit Kazan and attend the seminar with local leaders from the Volga Federal District. As an important high-level exchange with Russia this year and the first visit to Russia by a major Chinese leader after the Russian presidential election, Vice Premier Li Keqiang's visit is of great significance to deepening China-Russia relations under the new circumstances. China looks forward to reaching the following outcomes: First, review the important progress made in China-Russia relations and further implement the development plan of China-Russia relations in the next ten years. Second, enhance bilateral strategic and political mutual trust and step up mutual political support on issues concerning each other's core interests. Third, promote practical cooperation in all fields with a focus on pushing for new progress in major strategic cooperation projects. Fourth, have in-depth exchange of views on the preparation for the Beijing Summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and major international and regional issues of mutual interest to coordinate positions. During the visit, competent authorities and enterprises of the two countries will sign multiple cooperation agreements covering areas such as business, trade, energy, science and technology, finance, telecommunications, and local cooperation. We believe under the joint efforts of the two sides, Vice Premier Li Keqiang's visit to Russia will be a full success and help make new achievements in China-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership of coordination. On your third question, as far as I know, the article was written by a Chinese scholar and only represent his personal ideas. Relevant web site is not reflecting the full opinion of the scholar as well. In recent years, Russia has witnessed social and political stability and made outstanding achievements in economic development. As Russia's friendly neighbour and comprehensive strategic partner of coordination, China is happy to see the achievements made by Russia. Russia enjoys solid industrial foundation, advanced science and technology and rich natural resources, and the Russian people are wise and hardworking. We believe the Russian people will make even greater achievements in its national development and revitalization. Q: The US government transferred two Chinese Uigur suspects in the Guantanamo Bay to El Salvador. How does China comment? A: China has made stern representations with the US. The Chinese Uigur suspects of terrorism detained in the Guantanamo Bay are members of the "East Turkistan Islamic Movement", a terrorist organization on the UN sanctions list. According to relevant UN Security Council resolution, all countries should deny safe haven to those who finance, plan or commit terrorist acts, or provide safe havens. China is always firmly against the US's release or transfer of these suspects to a third country and is opposed to any country's reception of them in any name. China asks the US to correct its mistake. We hope El Salvador will bear in mind its responsibility in international counter-terrorism and its own security, fully recognize the danger posed by these suspects, take China's concerns seriously, honor its international obligations and refuse to receive these suspects. Q: A Canadian magazine recently published an article saying that a Chinese company in Hubei Province sold missile transport vehicles to the DPRK which were diplayed in the country's military parade. Has China investigated the issue? A: I have expounded on China's position on this issue many times. China is firmly against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and their delivery vehicles, and is always abiding strictly by relevant UN Security Council resolutions and its own laws and regulations on non-proliferation export control. Q: US prosecutors recently sued two Taiwan citizens for smuggling US military equipments to the mainland of China. How does China comment? A: I am not aware of relevant situation. Q: The Philippines says that the Huangyan Island has long been its "territory", which has been recognized by the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. It also claims that China has not exercised effective jurisdiction over the Huangyan Island and has no legal documents to prove that the Island belongs to China. How does China comment? A: The Huangyan Island is China's inherent territory. China was the first to discover and name the Huangyan Island and also the first to include it into China's territory and exercise sovereign jurisdiction over it. Prior to 1997, the Philippines had had no objection to the Chinese Government's exercise of sovereign administration, development and exploitation of the Huangyan Island, but instead, expressed on many occasions that the Island is outside the scope of Philippine territory. The Philippines' claim of its jurisdiction and even territorial sovereignty over the Huangyan Island based on the allegation that the Island is within its exclusive economic zone is not justified at all by international law, nor is it in line with the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. The Philippines should earnestly respect China's territorial sovereignty over the Huangyan Island. Q: French presidential candidate Hollande recently said that if elected, he hoped to meet with Chinese leaders first after taking office. How does China comment? A: We are following closely the French presidential election and wish the election a success. We believe it is the consensus of both countries to develop China-France relations, which is in line with their interests. China is willing to continue its high-level exchanges and cooperation across the board with France. Q: It is reported that the DPRK will hold a third nuclear test soon. How does China comment? Has China expressed opposition to the DPRK? A: China is firmly committed to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. We hope relevant parties will exercise calmness and restraint, do more things to uphold peace and stability of the Peninsula in stead of the contrary. On the issue of the Korean Peninsula, China has stayed in close communication with all parties concerned, including the DPRK. |

Ben Howard was first encouraged to make music by the surfer community – the surfer community in England. Yup, apparently the waves are gnarly in southwest England and that's where Ben grew up, learned to surf and learned to play guitar. His mother's collection of Joni Mitchell, Donovan, and Richie Havens records inspired Ben to write his own songs. He dropped out of school one semester shy of earning his journalism degree to pursue music full-time. "A lot of people said I was crazy to leave that close to the end of the course, but a friend of mine said, 'The most beautiful lives are the ones that take risks', which was encouraging. And my parents were very supportive. They told me to do whatever makes me happy." Now at age 25, Ben should have no complaints with a brilliant debut album Every Kingdom and an ever-growing fanbase.

Yesterday morning I dropped my ski at Rudee Inlet in Virginia Beach and went about 16 miles offshore looking for some Tuna action and maybe some whale sightings. On the way out I went across a lot of bait marks that were only 2-3 miles off the beach.
I did not not see much in the area of the Chesapeake Light Tower so after 30 minutes I turned around and went right back inshore.
There were a lot of boats that were still going way East. Further than I wanted to go in the winter offshore on my pwc.
Glad I went back in, the bait was still there and very thick. The birds were going nuts diving in, an airshow I always love to see.
I caught four Dog Sharks, then a nice 40 inch Striped Bass. I caught two more dogs before the birds broke up and the catching slowed down.
Sometimes the grass is not always greener on the other side if the hill. Though I do not mind running some distance to find fish.
I do not know if anyone got into the tuna yesterday but I had a good time inshore chasing birds and bait. Saw a couple others catching before I went in at noon.
Here are a couple pictures from my trip.

that sounds very similar to the microsoft 'viewable' source the difference being that microsoft can sue you for damages while RedHat can only stop supplying you with updates and support, potentially shutting your business down while you transition to a different distro
What's the complaint?

all the source code + all the files needed to rebuild are in the srpms.
Posted Mar 3, 2011 16:43 UTC (Thu) by smurf (subscriber, #17840) [Link]
"Source", in this context, is "a kernel and a heap of patches, as embodied in a git archive". Granted that if you drop the archive and flatten the patches into 200+ patch files, that still counts, because people still customarily edit patches.
A humungous diff, however, is not a patch. It's the source equivalent of a core dump. Nobody uses that for software development.
Therefore, Red Hat is breaking the spirit of the GPL by doing that.
Posted Mar 3, 2011 22:29 UTC (Thu) by airlied (subscriber, #9104) [Link]
I'm sure lawyers can define Source == source code, in that context you have the source code to the kernel.
Its easy to make up definitions and then base arguments on them, its harder to prove the definition you made up is backed by the law.
Posted Mar 4, 2011 7:56 UTC (Fri) by smurf (subscriber, #17840) [Link]
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it.
Whether combining lots of patches into one large patch constitutes a change in "form" would be an argument for the lawyers if this ever goes to court, which I very much doubt.
In my opinion, however, the case is pretty clear -- you simply do not modify that large a patch file. Therefore it's not a "preferred form". Therefore Red Hat is, ideally if not materially, in breach of the GPL.
Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, not do I play one on TV.

E.g. if the patches are of no import to making modifications to a source code, then why have RedHat decided to try get a competitive advantage by withholding them? Clearly RedHat feel having the split-out patches helps them to maintain and modify the kernel they ship. My experience is that having patches (more precisely, access to the history) can be *very* important to making further modifications (finding recently introduced bugs particularly, and modifying them).
I know RedHat is "Good", I know they put in lots of resources into Linux and free software. I really want them to be able to succeed in their business. However, let's be careful to remain dispassionate about this - do any GPL copyright holders involved really want to concede that it's perfectly fine for distributors to deliberately withhold fairly important source-related information? (Obviously some of those copyright holders also have a strong interest in the continuing success of RedHat).

that doesn't mean that I think what they are doing is good in this area, just that it is within the letter of the rules. I think that them making this change erodes their moral position, but the GPL isn't dependant on people making good decisions for moral reasons, it's only dependant on people making the decisions to comply with the letter of the license (or if it requires more than just compliance with the letter of the license, there may be a need for a license change, but I don't believe that there is)
the only piece I have a legalistic problem is with them releasing code in some form to users, but only under the condition that those users don't redistribute the code (and if the users violate this condition, penalties kick in)
Posted Mar 8, 2011 7:38 UTC (Tue) by paulj (subscriber, #341) [Link]
1. RedHat work on the source in form A
2. Form B is auto-generated from A
3. Form B is distributed to comply with the GPL.
A is the src.rpm with the split patches: the format they've preferred for donkey's years and, I'm presuming to be a dead certainty, are continuing to use internally, and B is the src.rpm with the patches deliberately collapsed. Talking about email or conversations is a misdirection - binaries never get machine-built from such. The patches *are* a source input to the process that builds the distributed src.rpms though, and the reason they are an input is because that's RedHats' preferred means of making modifications.
Look at the flow above again, form B *clearly* is covered by the GPL through the text in which explains what "preferred form" is meant to cover. It's pretty explicit that intermediate transformations of the sources are *not* sufficient, that *all* the files required for input to the build process are required.
Just because an auto-generated file is still human-readable and editable does not take-away from the fact it's not the original source.

Athens braced for a day of rage
Athens is on high alert and Angela Merkel is on the front of every Greek newspaper as her visit to the Greek capital raises tensions. Meanwhile, in the US, reactions to Mitt Romney's speech on foreign policy are lukewarm, and an elderly couple in the UK discover an unusual plant in their backyard.
English-language daily Katherimini says security has been bolstered in Athens and protests are banned within the perimeter of Angela Merkel's official visit.
Greek newspaper Demokratia tells Merkel to prepare herself for the anger of the Greek people, who see her as a symbol of the tough austerity measures the country has had to endure.
Politico takes a look at Mitt Romney's foreign policy, saying he's vague on a number of issues, while The Guardian suggests the two candidates share many similar positions on international relations.
Finally, an elderly couple plant a sapling in their garden, only to find a huge cannabis plant a few months later! The Telegraph has the story.

And one would think that gee whiz you know here we are with the sort of a spate of stories all over the place about houses had has been a big study from Boston university in the veterans department working together on this and so on -- clearly clearly a huge issue.
This appellate the Bloomberg News is famous -- -- now who said listen that have been traumatic brain injuries Suri is not a big story for the NFL at all.
It is a -- essential story.
As in football won't exist if they don't they're they're gonna do with us in some -- -- -- talking up pretty radical things like no kickoffs now and then you know so I mean this is huge -- So for -- and then jump that there's a notion -- brain injured may be but let's talk about gun control for awhile.
It's great I've never met the man I have no reason to impugn his motives except that seems to me that if I were looking to defend the NFL against -- Spear coming right they're chefs on and brain injuries from from helmets I will open -- -- -- -- And now all of a sudden the ship a sudden just over here to gun control.
And I by the way Bob -- has become a celebrity.
I get almost newfound respect him scene -- of -- sports -- but now I'm a statesman going on MSNBC and hold forth and I have no doubt.
That he'll be on sixty minutes and talking Oprah and so on he's got a whole new career open up.
As a liberal pundit on gun control and meanwhile though -- hitting everything when he made millions.
Over the thirty years in the forty years of his career was talking about what a great tackle that was and so on that alone I'll put behind him should now move on -- new career as a statesman and a peacemaker.
-- that just to play devil's advocate is there no place in our public discourse.
For discussion about gun control laws a lot of liberals were saying I'm not even liberals some other people were saying look.
You know look at the number.
Stories involving guns mass shootings leading up.
To this election last month and yet neither candidate brought it up even once as an issue in their.

A field maintenance employee at Westhill High School found foul language and spray-painted pictures on the main field' new artificial turf early Tuesday morning.
The Onondaga County Sheriff's Department is trying to figure out who is responsible.
Westhill's Athletic Director, Matthew Whipple, says the graffiti was likely drawn sometime late Monday.
"Unfortunate, very disappointing that someone would do that," says Whipple. "You hope the message is that it's not the right thing to do."
The district doesn't know how much the damage cost, but says getting rid of the ink was a process.
Maintenance crews had to use a solvent to break down the paint and then clean it with water.
The turf was part of a nearly $29.8 million renovation project that was approved in 2010.
The school is on Onondaga Boulevard in Onondaga.

KINGSTON, N.Y. -- HealthAlliance of the Hudson Valley, which recently announced plans to close Kingston Hospital and consolidate its local operations into Benedictine Hospital, will hold a public forum at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the auditorium at 75 Mary's Ave. on the Benedictine campus.
HealthAlliance executives and board members will discuss the company's "ongoing restructuring process" and answer questions, according to a press release issued on Friday.
The event will be facilitated by state Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, D-Kingston, the company said.
HealthAlliance, formed in 2008, operates Kingston, Benedictine and Margaretville Memorial hospitals, as well as the Woodland Pond retirement community in New Paltz and the Mountainside Residential Care Center in Margaretville.
The company announced in early May that it was considering closing either Kingston or Benedictine, which are about half a mile apart, because of mounting financial losses. In early July, the company said it had decided to close Kingston Hospital and that the shutdown would occur within about 18 months.

As snow falls and ice covers our roadways, the number of motor vehicle accidents increases dramatically. One common injury resulting from such accidents is cervical whiplash.
Cervical whiplash is a quick stretching or tearing of the neck muscles due to rapid motion of the head and neck. This is most commonly seen when one vehicle is rear-ended by another vehicle, even at low speeds. Muscle trauma can occur in an accident with speeds under 10 mph.
The onset of symptoms may occur immediately or up to two weeks after an accident, according to Jeff Kirchmyer, PT, co-owner of ProActive Sports Rehab. Accident victims may experience symptoms including neck, jaw and shoulder pain; headaches; dizziness; decrease range of neck motion and more. Concussions can also occur.
Immediately following an accident, it's best to apply cold packs to the neck area for 15 minutes (remember to use a towel between the cold pack and the skin). It is recommended to see your physician after a motor vehicle accident. X-rays or MRI/CT scans may be needed for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
Once properly diagnosed, it may be necessary to see a physical therapist to speed up recovery time and return you to your normal activities. At physical therapy, you can expect your therapist to set up an individualized program for you. This will involve improving range of motion through stretching and gradual strengthening of the neck and back muscles. Your physical therapist may also use heat or cold packs, ultrasound, vestibular therapy for dizziness and manual stretching.
ASTYM is also an extremely useful tool used to decrease muscle knots and tightness and speed up recovery time. ASTYM is a regenerative soft tissue therapy that rebuilds and heals the soft tissues of the body, eliminating pain and restoring movement.
To help prevent whiplash, make sure your vehicles head support is directly behind your head at the level of your ears. Increased injuries can occur if your head support is too low, and always be sure to wear your seatbelt.
For more information on injuries requiring the services of a trained physical therapist, please contact ProActive Sports Rehab for a consultation. ProActive has offices at 4535 Southwestern Blvd. (Suites 805 and 806) in Hamburg and 240 Red Tail (Suites 3 and 4) in Orchard Park, in the Sterling Medical Park. They can be reached at 648-8700 (Hamburg) or 674-9600 (Orchard Park).

NEW YORK ( MainStreet) You could hardly be blamed for squirreling money under a mattress these days that sometimes seems to be as good a place as any for your emergency fund or cash reserves.
While the stock market has delivered solid returns over the past few years, at the same time the options have dwindled for parking some cash with the hopes of drawing a return that at least keeps pace with cost-of-living increases.
Most bank savings and checking accounts are paying a paltry interest rate, and money market funds aren't much better. As far as CDs, it's been years 13 years to be precise since you could grab a 5-year CD that returned as much as 7% if held to maturity.
So what's a saver to do? If you don't have the stomach to go all-in with stocks, or simply want to make the most of your cash reserves, there are some options worth considering that just might beat the mattress stash.
Online savings or money market accounts: If you need to keep your money liquid, you can usually do a bit better than your local bank or credit union by shopping online banks. The best nationally available online rates for savings and money markets accounts are close to 1.20% APY, significantly above the general average of 0.13%.
High-yield checking accounts: It takes a bit of shopping, but currently there are some high-yield checking accounts that offer a decent return on at least a portion of your money often the first $10,000 to $30,000.
One option to consider a Kasasa checking account, which recently offered interest rates as high as 4% on a portion of your money. A review of the Kasasa Web site found current rates being offered range between a solid 2% and 3%.
Kasasa works with credit unions and lending institutions to acquire customers that they believe will be profitable over the long haul. That means you have to perform some relatively simple activities each month, such as using your debit card ten times, to lock in the high interest rate. If you don't meet the requirements, the checking account is still free and interest rates track with national averages.
U.S. Treasury Series I Bonds: While not nearly as liquid as savings or money market accounts, U.S. Treasury Series I bonds do "provide a decent alternative for keeping money safe and also having it earn a return that keeps pace with inflation," says Sol Nasisi, president of BestCashCow.com. Treasury Series I bonds are inflation-indexed savings that can only be sold without penalty after five years. A penalty of three months' interest is assessed if they are sold before five years. The bonds currently pay 1.18% based on a fixed rate of 0% and an inflation variable rate of 1.18%, which adjusts every six months. "These bonds are secure, protected by the full faith of the U.S. government," Nasisi says.

Local governments continue to grapple with budget challenges. Some say they are on the brink of bankruptcy. State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli is continuing meetings with local leaders to discuss those challenges. YNN's Bill Carey says some of those leaders say the state still isn't addressing the key problems.
NEW YORK STATE -- The State Comptroller says he's here to help. Local governments are facing intense pressure and Thomas DiNapoli says they can benefit by studying what's working in local governments and comparing notes on problems.
"What are the pressure points? And what might be some of the ways that help can come in. Especially at a time when there's just not going to be as much money to slow, in terms of unrestricted aid, as some would like," DiNapoli said.
The problem facing cities across New York State is simple. It all comes down to a question of money. Services that have to be provided. Services that cost more and more each year. And less and less money to cover those additional costs. And for many of the local leaders at the session, Albany isn't seen as the solution, as much as the cause of the problems.
"The policies that are driving us to the brink of bankruptcy are almost exclusively policies that the state has put into place. So they put those policies into place, they're going to have to help us get out from underneath them," Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner.
"Well, I think there are things that the state could do, but they've shown themselves unwilling to do or unable to do," said Ithaca Mayor Svante Myrick.
The leaders of small cities share the concerns of those from larger communities. Myrick took office in Ithaca in January. Working on that city's budget, he says they haven't reached the limit of cuts, but they're close.
"There is still room left to cut, but there's not much. And we're going to have to pivot towards growth if we're going to make it. We really have to see an expansion of our tax base," Myrick said.
The Comptroller says small steps toward mandate relief and an improving economy should help produce an improving picture in the coming years. But local leaders are looking at projections that show continuing red ink.
Miner said, "These are real trends. They're not just the product of bad management decisions or one bad cycle or two bad cycles. That we've actually had about 10 years of bad news and we're going to need help to change that."
Help the state still isn't yet ready to provide.
