            scheduled downtime, please log onto pacman14.arsc.edu 
            and recompile using the software available via 
            modules and /usr/local/pkg.  If users would like to 
            submit batch jobs in the RHEL 6.4 environment prior 
            to the scheduled downtime, please contact the ARSC Help Desk.

            *** Update on May 24, 2013 ***
            The OS upgrade is taking longer than first anticipated.
