<Title>Food for (parking) Fines</Title>
<Tagline>Got a parking ticket? Pay it with food!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Parking Services is conducting our annual Fall Food for Fines campaign. The program</p>
    <p>provides the opportunity to help students, staff and faculty who are experiencing food</p>
    <p>insecurity. The program runs until Friday, November 21.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>How does it work? If you currently have an outstanding citation for this semester ($50</p>
    <p>or less), you can donate 5 non-perishable or 5 toiletry items to Parking Services</p>
    <p>(located at 900 Walker Avenue), and we will reduce one citation to a warning (citation</p>
    <p>cost removed). All items collected are donated to Retriever Essentials, UMBC's campus</p>
    <p>food bank.</p>

    <p>As part of our ongoing commitment 
    to security, the Unix Infrastructure group will be conducting its 
    quarterly system patching on Friday, November 21st and
     Saturday, November 22nd.  While many of the systems will be patched 
    without any service disruption, there are some systems which require the
     downtime of key services.  The schedule below outlines which key 
    services will be offline and for how long.</p>
    <p>Friday, 11/21/2025 between 5pm and 10pm (most systems will only be down for a short period during this time):</p>
    <ul>
    <li>Access to Cyrus (legacy) email (accounts not migrated to UMBC Gmail)</li>
    <ul><li>All mail will be queued up and delivered after the server is patched</li></ul>
    <li>All HFS (afs) servers - gl.umbc.edu home directories will be offline</li>
    <li>Between 9:00pm and 10pm only: Certain software licenses will be unavailable (autodesk, cadence, idl, schrodinger, xilinx, mathematica). </li>
    <li>Between 9:00pm and 10pm only: The
     web hosting environments (virthost) will be partially unavailable 
    (pages will be available but any database calls will not work)</li>
    <li>Between 5:00pm and 6:30pm only: LDAP-Master and Webadmin will
     be taken down for system maintenance.  During this time account 
    creations and password changes will be unavailable.  Account 
    authentication and logins will not be affected.</li>
    </ul>
    <div>Saturday, 11/22/2025 between 7am and 8am (most systems will only be down for a short period during this time):
