Scheduled eSPAN/eGrants and My AmeriCorps Portal Outage: Saturday, March 13, 2010 Between 03.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. |
|
|
On Saturday, March 13, we will be undertaking production system upgrades between the hours of 3.00 a.m. and 3.00 p.m. The scheduled hardware and software upgrades will improve the overall availability of the application environment in the future. In particular, we are installing a hardware load balancer which will automatically allocate workstation based user requests to an active front end application server. This upgrade will result in better handling of user activity/connectivity should one of the application servers fail at any time. |

National Service Budget Update |
|
|
I want to share two important developments on national service funding. First, President Obama has signed the Consolidated Appropriations Act, marking the final step in determining our Fiscal 2010 budget. This law provides $1.149 billion for the Corporation for National Service and its programs, fully funding the President’s request. Second, last night, the House of Representatives passed the Jobs for Main Street Act of 2010. The legislation, as posted on the House Appropriations Committee website, includes $200 million to support up to 25,000 AmeriCorps member positions and corresponding Segal AmeriCorps Education Awards.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said “Life’s most urgent and persistent question is: What are you doing for others?” He devoted his life to advancing equality, social justice, and opportunity for all and taught us that everyone has a role to play in making America what it ought to be. |
