RALEIGH, N.C. - June 19, 2018 —
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world's leading provider of open source solutions, today announced the general availability of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10, the latest update to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 platform. This update includes resolutions for recently discovered Spectre/Meltdown security vulnerabilities. To make it easier for customers to plan their migration to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 provides updates to the Pre-upgrade Assistant, Red Hat Upgrade Tool, and the accompanying documentation.
With Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10, Red Hat demonstrates our commitment to stability and predictability through our extensive platform lifecycle. This provides organizations with greater confidence that their production platforms will remain supported and will receive the necessary stability and security updates to host mission-critical workloads.
Gunnar Hellekson

This release also includes a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 base image to help enterprises more easily migrate Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 workloads into container-based applications. These cloud-native workloads can then be deployed and maintained on a more modern platform, including Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.10 marks the transition from the Maintenance Support 1 lifecycle phase to the Maintenance Support 2 phase. In order to help provide customers with a stable environment for the remainder of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 lifecycle, only critical security fixes and business-impacting urgent issues have been addressed. Examples include the addition of retpoline-based mitigations for the Spectre/Meltdown vulnerabilities, an updated GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), and rebased gcc-libraries packages.

LAS VEGAS (June 10, 2021) – Four-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis held a media workout in Las Vegas Wednesday as he approaches his showdown against WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios which headlines a SHOWTIME PPV Saturday, June 26 from the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in a Premier Boxing Champions event.
Tickets for the live event at State Farm Arena, which is promoted by Mayweather Promotions, GTD Promotions and TGB Promotions, are on sale now and can be purchased at ticketmaster.com.
One of boxing's biggest stars at just 26-years-old, Davis moves up to 140-pounds for the first time in his career as he aims to add super lightweight champion to his stellar resume. With a victory, Davis will hold world championships in three different divisions simultaneously, a feat only accomplished by a few fighters in history, including Henry Armstrong and Canelo Alvarez.
Here is what Davis, along with trainer Calvin Ford, and Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe, had to say Wednesday from the Mayweather Boxing Club:
GERVONTA DAVIS
"We can't say who the bigger puncher is until we get in that ring and test his power. It doesn't matter who is stronger, I want to be better than him across the board and in every aspect of the game.
"People who are here in the gym with me see a lot of things that I don't need to bring out, even in my fights. Floyd is always telling me to box and use my skills, and don't always look for the knockout. This camp we've actually been working on getting back to that and letting the knockout come.
"For me, greatness is just not going backwards. I just want to keep going forward no matter what. No matter who's in front of me, I just have to go through them. Where I'm from, a lot of people don't make it out, so I'm doing something right. It doesn't even have to be an opponent, it can be something outside of the ring. I'm always chasing greatness.
"My thing is just beat whoever is put in front of me. When it's time, we'll see who the top guy is. Until then, I don't need to speak on any other fighter than the one in front of me.
"Barrios and I have been through the amateurs together. He's known what I've been doing. It's crazy how life works out sometimes.
"I'm a team player, so whatever my team tells me has to be done to better myself, I'm all for it. That's what's made me so good. I don't just stand out by myself. I have the best team in boxing.
"My last fight people complained that Leo Santa Cruz was too small, so I'm basically going out there and showing that a size difference doesn't matter. I'm going to beat whoever they put in front of me. I'm trying to chase greatness.
"I'm definitely looking to walk down the bigger guy. He might feel like he can walk me down. I was definitely watching Floyd fight a much bigger guy in Logan Paul and taking a few pointers from it.
"I don't know what Barrios will bring, but from my side, I'm bringing everything I've got. You know whenever I fight, I'm bringing something for the fans to enjoy."
CALVIN FORD, Davis' Trainer
"'Tank's' pay-per-view numbers opened up the doors for the rest of them. It's because of 'Tank's' social media. When people ask me why people gravitate towards him – he's just like any kid that's coming up from the inner cities. Look at basketball players – inner cities. Look at football players – inner cities. He's showing them that if you put the right people around you and you put your mind to something, anything is possible.
"'Tank', Devin Haney, Teofimo Lopez and Ryan Garcia will be the Four Kings if the fights happen. Let's keep it real. Right now, they're doing the same thing that the Four Kings did at the beginning stage. All we have to do is sit back and let the minds that be, do their thing. It's going to happen. All these fights that people want to see are going to happen.
"Have you noticed that 'Tank' don't call anybody out? He never did. But if you put him in front of somebody, he's going to show you. If you know 'Tank' from the amateurs, he's going to show up in the ring. He's like a baby Mike Tyson.
"The weight isn't what I'm focused on, it's actually the opponent. When I started studying the opponent, his coach and I go way back in the amateurs. When we see each other, we know each other. It's about the minds. He knows his athlete and I know my athlete. That night, it's about the minds. It's about who is going to hold fast to what they're supposed to be doing. That's the fight for me.
"I wouldn't say this is the toughest test of 'Tank's' career because nobody can show me the best of 'Tank' yet. I know the best of 'Tank'. Ya'll ain't seen 'Tank'."
LEONARD ELLERBE, CEO of Mayweather Promotions
"From top to bottom this is one of those pay-per-view events that you don't want to miss. Anytime you have the most exciting fighter in the sport, you know it's going to be big. Don't expect anything less on June 26.
"Coach Calvin Ford is a tremendous trainer who's been with Gervonta since day one and they have a great game plan in place. I fully expect him to be able to execute. But Barrios is coming for him. He's got a great trainer himself in Virgil Hunter and has made great progression with Virgil.
"We know this is going to be a tough fight, but Gervonta just has to figure it out from the opening bell. And I believe he'll do that, but it will take some time. Barrios is looking to upset the apple cart.
"Gervonta is molding into his comfort zone. He's becoming more comfortable with the media because he truly understands what he has in front of him. He knows that his ceiling is to be the biggest star in the sport. On the inside of the ring though, nothing has changed.
"The co-feature is a terrific bout with Erickson Lubin taking on Jeison Rosario. That's going to be a very entertaining fight. A win for Lubin puts him one step closer to his ultimate goal. Lubin feels like he's the best in the weight class and eventually right that wrong of his loss to Jermell Charlo. But he has a tough rugged fighter in front of him and that should be an exciting bout.
"Former unified champion Julian Williams is looking to bounce back against Brian Mendoza on the pay-per-view. Julian is obviously one of the top fighters in the division, and he's looking to get back what he lost.
"In the opening bout the very tough Batyr Akhmedov is up against Argenis Mendez, who is always in go-mode. So it really shows you how highly entertaining this card is all the way through. I'm really excited to be back at State Farm Arena."
ABOUT DAVIS VS. BARRIOS
Davis vs. Barrios will see four-time world champion Gervonta "Tank" Davis set his sights on capturing a title in a third weight class when he faces undefeated WBA Super Lightweight Champion Mario "El Azteca" Barrios in a SHOWTIME PPV main event Saturday, June 26 at the award-winning State Farm Arena in Atlanta in an event presented by Premier Boxing Champions.

NORTH DAKOTA — The North Dakota House of Representatives unanimously approved a bill Friday intended to protect the free-speech rights of student journalists.
The measure passed 92-0, with two members abstaining, and now must go to the state Senate.
Although a House committee amended the legislation Tuesday to exclude private schools and universities from the legislation, Listopad said he hopes to create rules in the future that would protect the First Amendment rights of all students in North Dakota.
In the Hazelwood case, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that school administrators could censor student newspapers that were not designated as public forums.
The bill would ensure students are given enhanced rights under the Tinker standard created by the Supreme Court in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District. Under the Tinker standard, students cannot be punished for speech unless it causes a substantial disruption to the operation of the school.
Listopad said the Senate is expected to consider the bill next week.

By Anne Blythe and Thomas Goldsmith
North Carolina could get its first shipment of COVID-19 vaccines by late next week or soon after if the federal Food and Drug Administration grants Pfizer an emergency use authorization, the state's top public health official said on Tuesday.
Gov. Roy Cooper and Mandy Cohen, secretary of the state Department of Health and Human Services, outlined details of the state's early distribution plan once a vaccine gets the eagerly awaited good-to-go nod from the FDA.
"COVID-19 vaccines will help us defeat this virus and get back to the people and places we love," Cohen told reporters at a Tuesday briefing. "Vaccines imitate an infection so that our bodies think a germ like a virus is attacking and we make antibodies that we need to fight the real germs if they come and attack."
Health care workers on the hospital front lines and custodial staff in those facilities would be the first to roll their sleeves up for a shot in the arm that could be a huge boost to a state, and a country, struggling with high caseloads and hospitalizations.
Residents in nursing homes, long-term care facilities and the staff that take care of them also would be near the top of the list.
It could be sometime in January when people with two chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, heart disease or cancer could get the vaccine, Cohen said, while stressing the many variables in the timeline.
"The first folks that are going to see the vaccine are going to be our hospitals in order for them to vaccinate their health care workers that are high-risk for exposure, those that are caring for or cleaning the areas of folks with COVID-19," Cohen said. "As we get more vaccine, we'll be able to share that with even more hospitals, again focusing on our front-line health care workers who are at high risk for exposure."
An independent advisory committee is set to review safety data from the first three phases of the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine trial on Dec. 10.
The FDA's Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research then would consider the committee's recommendation and decide if emergency use authorization should be granted.
Moderna, another pharmaceutical company developing a COVID-19 vaccine, sought emergency use authorization this week from the FDA, making it possible that later this month or early next year more than one vaccine could be available in this country.
"Between those two vaccines, more than 70,000 people have participated in clinical trials to see if these vaccines are safe, and if they can effectively prevent someone from getting COVID-19," Cohen explained. "The preliminary data looks very strong. We look forward to reviewing the complete data when it's made publicly available in the next few days."
States will receive limited supplies initially of any vaccines authorized by the FDA.
The Pfizer vaccine requires ultra-cold storage, making its distribution more likely to health care facilities already equipped with the necessary freezers. Cooper noted that much of North Carolina is rural and the distribution of vaccines needing ultra-cold storage could be challenging, but the state will work to overcome those obstacles.
North Carolina would get 85,000 vaccines in the first of what are expected to be weekly shipments, Cohen said. Without a national distribution plan, the states are responsible for getting the vaccines to their people.
Free vaccines
North Carolina's distribution plan has been in the works for several months, largely put together by a COVID-19 Vaccine Advisory Committee convened by the North Carolina Institute of Medicine.
The state sent the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention its proposed plan in mid-October. It also incorporates the National Academy of Medicine's equitable distribution guidance.
"The key takeaways are that vaccines will initially be available in limited settings, primarily focused on our hospitals across the state and then our long-term care residents and staff," Cohen said.
The vaccines will be free to everyone, according to Cohen and Cooper, and any fees associated with the administration of it are to be paid by insurance companies or the government.
"We've been hard at work preparing for this moment," Cohen said. "Our vaccine plan outlines the critical steps needed to administer a vaccine program of this scale."
The plan takes into account:
How to enroll providers to give the vaccines;
Ensuring equitable distribution and proper storage;
Development of an IT system to manage vaccine supplies, as well as to ensure people get the necessary two doses of the vaccine; and
Training providers to use the system and show how to monitor it for any adverse reactions that might occur.
To carry out such a wide-scale distribution program, states will need the ongoing support of the federal government as well as federal funds.
"Having a safe vaccine within reach is an extraordinary achievement," Cohen said. "But at the same time, it is not a quick fix. It will take several months to have enough supplies so that anyone can readily get a vaccine."
Until then, Cohen and Cooper pleaded, North Carolinians should double-down on wearing masks when with anyone outside their immediate household, as well as maintain a safe distance from others, and wash or sanitize their hands rigorously.
'Don't give up now'
"With hope so close on the horizon, we have to keep using the tools we know slow the spread of this virus to help save lives during the next few months," Cooper said. "Don't give up now when help is on the way."
North Carolina's trends and metrics have been producing the kinds of COVID-19 records in recent weeks that give public health officials great cause for concern.
On Tuesday, Cooper reported a "record high" of 2,033 people in the hospital with illness related to the novel coronavirus and a total death toll of 5,284 people.
"We're seeing cases and hospitalizations rise steadily, as are many states across the country," Cooper said, noting that many options are under review for how to tamp down the spread if those trends continue.
Cooper and his team have studied the possibility of a statewide curfew, looking to other states where such measures have been employed.
After tightening mask requirements last week to include wearing them when with anybody outside your immediate household, Cooper and Cohen have tried to work with cities and counties with viral hotspots to do more enforcement.
Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan put an emergency order in place recently that allows for civil penalties for businesses not complying with statewide orders.
Winston-Salem, Asheville and Buncombe County have also stepped up enforcement efforts, Cooper said.
"This enforcement, along with more local governments getting on board can bring our numbers down and keep us from having to go backward," Cooper said. "Don't give up now. We need to work together to stay vigilant. If we do, I know we'll get through this."
Heat assistance for older North Carolinians and people with disabilities
As the pandemic continues, the state plans to help older North Carolinians and those with disabilities stay warm this winter by automatically selecting people who already get specific benefits from the Department of Health and Human Services and adding in assistance for heating bills, officials said Monday.
People who previously received heat assistance from the Low-Income Energy Assistance Program, or LEAP, should get help beginning Dec. 1. Those receiving Food and Nutrition Services also should see automatic payments.
This method, DHHS said, allows the state to get help to the recipients while also practicing safe, socially distanced precautions.
DHHS notified the previous recipients in November that they'd be signed up for LIEAP. Other people who might qualify can apply at their local departments of social services next month.
"More of our neighbors may be facing financial hardships because of COVID-19, and this funding can help eligible households with their heating expenses this winter," state DHHS Secretary Mandy Cohen said in a statement. "We want to ensure seniors and people with disabilities are healthy and safe during a difficult time of the year."
To be eligible for the LIEAP program, a household must:
Contain at least one U.S. citizen or another non-citizen who meets the other criteria for eligibility;
Have an income level that's the same amount or less than 130 percent of of the federal poverty limit;
Have $2,250 or less in cash, savings of less than $2,250; and
Include the person who keeps track of whether the light bill gets paid.

Coronavirus by the numbers
According to NCDHHS data, as of Tuesday afternoon:
5,284 people total in North Carolina have died of coronavirus.
367,395 have been diagnosed with the disease. Of those, 2,033 are in the hospital. The hospitalization figure is a snapshot of people hospitalized with COVID-19 infections on a given day and does not represent all of the North Carolinians who may have been in the hospital throughout the course of the epidemic.
315,979 people who had COVID-19 are presumed to have recovered. This weekly estimate does not denote how many of the diagnosed cases in the state are still infectious. Nor does it reflect the number of so-called "long-haul" survivors of COVID who continue to feel the effects of the disease beyond the defined "recovery" period.
To date, 5,322,584 tests have been completed in North Carolina. As of July 7, all labs in the state are required to report both their positive and negative test results to the lab, so that figure includes all of the COVID-19 tests performed in the state.
People ages 25-49 make up the largest group of cases (40 percent). While 15 percent of the positive diagnoses were in people ages 65 and older, seniors make up 82 percent of coronavirus deaths in the state.
432 outbreaks are ongoing in group facilities across the state, including nursing homes and correctional and residential care facilities.
There are 3,532 ventilators in hospitals across the state and 1,009 ventilators in use, not just for coronavirus cases but also for patients with other reasons for being in the hospital. As of Tuesday, 241 suspected COVID-19 patients were in intensive care units across the state.

News | Gift | Texas A&M Couple Creates Toback Fish Camp Scholarship
Katherine '88 '00 (center) and Dr. David Toback (left) created their scholarship to help make Fish Camp available to all who wish to participate, regardless of socioeconomic status. Their first recipients are Dora Sanchez '25 (right) and Vanessa Palacios '25 (not pictured).
Texas A&M Couple Creates Toback Fish Camp Scholarship
Originally published in the August 2021 Texas A&M Foundation Newsletter
"The 'Toback' in the Toback Fish Camp Scholarship is not for us; it's for Camp Toback,"
Katherine Toback '88 '00, Assistant Director of Undergraduate Programs, Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering
Every summer, incoming Aggie freshmen report to Reed Arena for Fish Camp with stuffed luggage bags and vague expectations of the week ahead. By the time they find a parking spot in Lot 100, most of those expectations have already vanished. Up and down the sidewalk and throughout the lot, camp counselors clad head-to-toe in brightly colored t-shirts with dyed hair, tutus, piercings (some fake, some authentic) and Mardi Gras beads greet the gawking campers. The scene is surreal by design. During the week, the message becomes clear: Being "cool" is so high school. College is a place to be yourself.
Since its move to the Lakeview Methodist Conference Center in Palestine, Texas, in 1957, Fish Camp has become a quintessential part of the Texas A&M University experience. But for some freshmen from low-income families, the $250 registration fee renders the camp an unjustifiable luxury. Katherine '88 '00 and Dr. David Toback are determined to help make Fish Camp available to all who wish to participate, regardless of socioeconomic status.
Seeing the Need
The Tobacks are a unique Aggie couple. Katherine is the assistant director of the undergraduate programs office in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering. She earned bachelor's and master's degrees from Texas A&M in agricultural economics and ultimately found her passion mentoring students as an academic advisor for university athletics and the recreation, park and tourism sciences department. Her experience with underprivileged students inspired her to give back. "Grants and student aid only go so far," she explained. "It broke my heart that some students couldn't enjoy everything college had to offer just because of their backgrounds."
David had no ties to Texas A&M before joining its faculty in 2000. A native Chicagoan with degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Chicago, he met Katherine while serving in his current role as a professor in the Department of Physics and Astronomy. Students across campus know him for his popular undergraduate course, "Big Bang and Black Holes," which attempts to unravel the universe's origins and other cosmic mysteries without advanced math. The course's perspective-shifting curriculum, combined with David's comedic teaching style, attracts hundreds of students across disciplines every semester.
Before Katherine arrived at Texas A&M as a freshman in fall 1984, she worried — as many freshmen do — about making friends with her fellow students. "I went to a large high school, but there were only four people I knew who also chose to attend Texas A&M, and we weren't close," she said. Fish Camp provided a powerful opportunity to meet and bond with her peers. "I knew when I got to campus, I would already have a group of friends." The impact Fish Camp had stayed with her long after she left Lakeview.
A Week in the Woods
Fish Camp is divided into weeklong sessions, with each session hosting different color-coordinated camps named after former students, prominent campus leaders and Aggie role models. When Katherine and David were honorably announced as Fish Camp namesakes in 2013, the couple gave back through time and effort to ensure Camp Toback was a wild success. The Tobacks befriended counselors, interacted with campers and made a lasting impression on both. Online, these so-called "Tobackians" identified each other with the hashtag "#CampTobackNeverDies." By the time the last buses back to Aggieland rode into the distance, Katherine and David knew they had found a program where they could make a difference.
With Katherine's low-income students in mind, the Tobacks established a $25,000 endowed scholarship to annually cover Fish Camp fees for two incoming students, with preference for first-generation students with financial need. The couple also established an Aggie Ring scholarship through The Association of Former Students specifically for previous recipients of their Fish Camp scholarship who earn their required 90 credit hours. The unique offer was a logistical challenge to set up, but the reasoning behind it is simple: "It's unacceptable for students to earn their Aggie Ring and not be able to get it," David said. "If you earn it, we'll buy it."
Katherine still regularly volunteers to help operate Fish Camp during the summer. Even though the Fish Camp scholarship bears the couple's name, she clarified its true namesake. "The 'Toback' in the Toback Fish Camp Scholarship is not for us; it's for Camp Toback," she insisted. Many of the counselors and fish in their camp went on to hold leadership positions in the organization, and some remain in touch with Katherine and David nearly a decade later. The scholarship carries on their legacy by helping recipients like Dora Sanchez '25 and Vanessa Palacios '25 attend camp free of charge.
Years after their namesake camp session, the Tobacks visited a community theater, and David was called up from the audience to participate in an improvised skit. While on stage, a performer asked him questions about growing up, school and what he did for a living. At some point, an anonymous voice shouted from somewhere in the room, "Camp Toback never dies!" Though they never did find out who said it, the Tobacks knew it was another life they had touched. And that was more than enough.

Eating lunch at school is a big deal for the students. This is their first year to get to do this! It's always fascinating to me to see who sits with who and where in the classroom the students choose to sit. This is our smallest table, but it's almost always full, with some larger round ones staying empty.
