What is in that patch is a combo of what Jim and myself came up with. The last chunk in that patch is what I have to my name which ultimatly fixes the build issue that showed up on mips (http://pastebin.cross-lfs.org/146), The -2 version of the patch worked fine on x86. http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2873 is the upstream bug. I'm expecting Drepper to ignore it. This email I sent to lfs-dev explains the last chunk in the patch. http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2006-August/058008.html . I don't know the direct reasoning behind the rest of the patch.

Green Bath and Body Cleans Up
Green—organic and natural— bath and body products are on a rapid growth curve. Here's a look at the latest in the industry.
Kim Harmson sells only one line of soap in Kizuri, her shop in Spokane, Washington, but that one line was her top selling product last year. And the year before that. In fact, it's been her top selling line for years, she says. Harmson's shop sells fair trade products from around the world as well as products made in the United States, including her popular Mountain Madness Soap, handmade locally in Spokane, which she prominently features at the checkout counter.
"When I opened [my store], I just did a Google search for a local source and Jennifer's company came up," says Harmson. She met with Jennifer Morsell, who makes the handmade soap for Mountain Madness Soap, and was taken by her story and commitment to using local and organic ingredients. "I really appreciate how thoughtful she is in how she does things and that she uses organic ingredients in her soaps."
Just as important, Harmson says, is that the soaps work very well. "Even my husband is addicted to her soaps," she laughs. "He'll call me from home when we're running out." It's not unusual for shoppers to buy more than a dozen at a time, many of whom choose the soap because it's a healthier alternative to other brands found in the mainstream marketplace laden with toxic chemicals.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Captive insurance companies are insurance companies established with the specific objective of insuring risks emanating from their parent group or groups, but they sometimes also insure risks of the group's customers.This is an alternative form of risk management that is becoming a more practical and popular means through which companies can protect themselves financially while having more control over how they are insured.
The term "captive" was coined by the "father of captive insurance," Frederic M. Reiss, while he was bringing his concept into practice for his first client, the Youngstown Sheet & Tube Company, in Ohio in the 1950s.[1] The company had a series of mining operations, and its management referred to the mines whose output was put solely to the corporation's use as captive mines. When Reiss helped the company incorporate its own insurance subsidiaries, they were referred to as captive insurance companies because they wrote insurance exclusively for the captive mines. Reiss continued to use the term: the policyholder owns the insurance company i.e. the insurer is captive to the policyholder. If the captive insures its own parent and affiliates it is called a pure captive. If it insures just one type of industry (e.g. energy industries) it is called a homogeneous captive. A captive insurance company can also insure a group of diverse companies; this is called a heterogeneous captive.
Captives are licensed by many jurisdictions. The captive's primary jurisdiction is known as its domicile. Most captive insurers are based "offshore", in places such as Gibraltar, Mauritius, Belize, Bermuda, The Cayman Islands, Ireland, Guernsey, Luxembourg, Barbados, Malta, The Bahamas, Singapore, Anguilla, the British Virgin Islands, Qatar Financial Centre, Dubai International Financial Centre and Jersey in the Channel Islands.
Bermuda is the world's leading offshore captive domicile. The onshore regulatory burden and the cost of operating either a U.S.-based or Lloyd's-based captive in the early 1960s drove Reiss to seek out a jurisdiction that would allow his captive concept to flourish. After much investigation, he chose Bermuda, due to its geographical location, clean reputation and status as a British Dependent Territory, which avoided the risks and uncertainties often experienced by international businesses operating in politically unstable and unaccountable jurisdictions. Bermuda's captives are predominantly owned by large U.S. corporations. The Cayman Islands is the second largest licensing jurisdiction in terms of the number of captives licensed. Vermont is second in terms of insurance company assets but third in terms of captives licensed. Healthcare corporations prefer Bermuda, due to the ease of claim payment provided by the regulatory environment.[2]
A recent trend has various States in the United States revising their regulations to be more attractive to captive insurance companies. For example, Oregon has removed premium taxes from captives, instead charging a $5000 annual fee.[3] In the United States, Vermont is home to more captive insurers than any other U.S. state, with nearly 900 licensed captive companies as of August 2009.[citation needed]. In recent years, Anguilla has been the fastest growing offshore domicile in numbers of captives, while Montana,[4] Delaware and Utah have been the fastest growing US domiciles.[5] In 2013, Texas[6] became the latest state to allow captives.
Reiss introduced the captive to provide large corporations with insurance coverages they needed but could not obtain economically through the mainstream insurance market, thus reducing their costs. Captives can cover lines of business, such as workers' compensation, that have relatively predictable claim rates[citation needed]. They can access the reinsurance market to lay off risks that they do not wish to accept: this may include product liability, general and professional liability and directors' and officers' liability. Vehicle insurance, both property damage and third party liability of corporate fleets and vehicles, is also quite commonly covered.[7]
Captives may be licenced to write some lines of business directly. In other cases, such as workers' compensation in the U.S., for example, the business must initially be written by another insurer, under its insurance licence, which then reinsures it (lays it off) to the captive. The original insurer retains a fee, usually somewhere between 5% and 15%, to provide this service. Premiums paid to captives are tax deductible, provided the terms of the policy (including the premium amount) are reasonable. A captive cannot arbitrarily set the premium amount simply to generate a deduction for the parent. In most situations, the captive carrier should be able to demonstrate its premium generating process (underwriting).
In the European Union, a new set of regulatory requirements (Solvency II) is planned with additional restrictions and responsibilities for captives and reinsurance companies. Some European captives ask for simplified regulation.[8]
Reiss created the first captive management company, International Risk Management Limited (IRML), in Bermuda in 1962 to provide the administration of his client's captives (this is now part of the Aon Corporation).[citation needed] Most captive management is usually outsourced to a captive manager located in the jurisdiction that holds the primary license for the captive.[citation needed]
In the U.S., most captive managers are small administrative services providers.[9] They don't draft insurance policies, which is generally the function of a senior insurance or corporate lawyer; they don't price policies, which is done by a property & casualty underwriter; and they don't purport to be responsible for state or federal tax issues, which is what a tax lawyer does. Other captive management firms provide a full turnkey service to include all aspects of forming and managing a captive insurer on an ongoing basis, which would include professionals that understand the insurance, tax, and legal aspects of a captive.[10] The middle market is the area of growth for captive managers because more than 90% of Fortune 500 companies already do captives, according to Capstone Associated Services Ltd.,[11] a comprehensive manager of small captive insurers with over 140 captives formed for the middle market in the last 15+years.
Captive insurance companies are creatures of the Internal Revenue Code. Over 75% of the world's captives are associated with U.S. insureds because these insurance arrangements are encouraged under the Internal Revenue Code. Because captives are sophisticated tax structures (having been the subject of dozens of cases and rulings by the IRS, the Tax Court and various appellate courts over the past 70 years) captive owners often engage tax professionals in addition to captive managers that simply provide administrative services.[12][13]
Over 90 percent of Fortune 1000 companies and many successful middle market businesses have captives. Over half of all property and casualty premiums that are written, are written through captives.[14]
The Section 831(b) or "small" P&C captive, also known as a "micro captive" is used by midsize companies looking for cost-effective ways to transfer risk.[15] Captive experts say an 831(b) introduces middle market companies to alternative risk transfer and its benefits, providing this class of insurance buyers a valuable cost-saving tool long utilized by Fortune 1000 companies. The Section 831(b) captive or "small" property and casualty captive is one of the most popular choices for middle market companies [16]

ADVERTISEMENT Kathy Stringer, a spokeswoman for the Regional Medical Center, said Freeman was discharged but gave no other details. The 71-year-old actor was hospitalized after the accident Sunday left him with a broken arm, broken elbow and shoulder damage. Demaris Meyer, 48, of Memphis, a passenger in the car driven by Freeman, was also injured in the crash. Freeman's lawyer, Bill Luckett, told the Memphis Commercial-Appeal in Thursday's editions that a divorce action is pending for the actor and Myrna Colley-Lee, his wife of 24 years. Luckett declined to provide details.

Apple Roundup: Supply Chain, Stores, Raises
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Today's top Apple (AAPL - Get Report) stories include an increased focus on the supply chain, an all-hands on deck meeting at Apple Stores, and Store employees getting a raise.
Apple has always been known for its strict and efficient supply chain, but the process is getting tighter, and the time spent on inspections may be getting longer, according to Digitimes.
Citing anonymous sources,
Digitimes reports that Apple is placing increased focus on its supply chain, as product quality continues to get scrutinized.
Not only does this increase the time spent on inspection, it also makes it much harder for outside companies who want to become a part of Apple's supply chain.
Apple Retail stores across the U.S. are having a meeting on June 24, which all employees are expected to attend, AppleInsider reports. According to those familiar with Apple's plans, the tech giant is scheduled to hold organized meetings on Sunday. It's not known what the topic of conversation will be.
Apple has generated billions upon billions in revenue thanks to the success of its iPhone, iPad, iPod, and Macs. Now it looks as if it will be rewarding its Apple Store employees. Apple Store employees across the board are reportedly going to receive a boost in salary, getting an additional $4 per hour raise, effective July 20. Apple could not be immediately reached for comment on this story. Shares of Apple are higher in Monday trading, up 1.48% to $582.65. Interested in more on Apple?

This photo perfectly illustrates the drama that comes from skylights adjacent to walls. Located above a stair, the light coming from above is accentuated by light coming in from a narrow window at right. These work in concert to make the stair a special space in the house.
Here is another skylight adjacent to a fairly light stair with open risers and cable guardrails. The skylight draws your eye to the large opening at the top of the stair. At certain times of the day, the light can extend to the floor, casting shadows through the stair.
Here the soft light that enters the stairwell from above extends in the space downstairs through the use of a transparent guardrail. Looking at the stair from above ...
... we can see the same guardrail overlooking the opening above the stair, a large opening that aligns with the skylight above to bring light downstairs.
This view illustrates a couple things: The design of the skylight is important, as it will be visible; and the wall below a skylight is well suited for displaying and highlighting artwork. Note how the triptych is aligned with the opening at left, so it can be appreciated from across the room.
Where is the skylight here? A soft glow comes from the ceiling in the distance, aligned with a window framing some backyard trees. A look from the opposite direction ...
... reveals the skylight, a minimal construction with only perimeter framing. It combines with a window above the stair to frame views of the sky and trees beyond.
This skylight is placed above a narrow staircase. What is important here is the wall at left, a translucent glass wall ...
... that borders the garage. This space then receives illumination from the skylight in the stair beyond. Very nice.
While stairs are ideal for skylights (what can go above a stair anyway?), they are are also well suited for living rooms and large spaces that may need more natural light than windows provide. Many of the relevant skylights on Houzz are actually located above fireplaces. This examples illustrates that framing these skylights along walls can be tricky; here the structure is not removed but boxed out with drywall to meld with the minimal walls and ceilings.
On the other hand, this skylight above a fireplace dramatically accentuates the irregular texture of the stacked stone. By day the hearth glows from above; at night it glows from the fire within.
This last example with a skylight over a fireplace shows how a room with warm materials and colors can be lightened by the introduction of natural light from overhead. The brick wall is accentuated, while the wood ceiling stays dark and gives an intimacy to the tall space.
A bathroom may seem like an odd place for a skylight, but they can be quite memorable. Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye, a modern masterpiece, actually includes a small skylight in the first-floor powder room, of all places; that's one of the most memorable places I've had to ... well, you know. In the photo the experience of showering is heightened by the light from above (cleanliness is next to Godliness?).
The skylight above this tub also gives an ethereal glow to the small room. This photo serves as a reminder that the more natural light that can be brought into rooms, the less you need artificial lights and the energy to power them.

Budget cuts destroy our promises to at-risk youth
Sunday, August 3, 2014
Last week, nine staff members at Sununu Youth Services Center (SYSC) saw their careers upended. All were moved into other career paths, some with no clear connection to their work history. One part-time employee was laid off completely. Six of the nine affected workers were teachers. This action decimates the education department as a whole.
At issue is the SYSC administration's strategy for making $1.25 million in budget cuts. "It defies logic that anyone would cut the teaching staff by half at an institution that educates the at-risk youth," said Brad Asbury, former SYSC employee and current SEA/SEIU 1984 manager working with the educators. "The youth are paying the price for a conflict that began between the teachers and Director Maggie Bishop two years ago. They predicted this would happen well before budget writers took aim at them."
"Many of the students go to vocational training," said Flowers. "Many of them can't read or write, so they learn a trade here." Flowers has been teaching culinary arts at SYSC for 18 years.

The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to hear a public interest litigation petition seeking a direction to quash the order of suspension of Uttar Pradesh IAS officer Durga Shakti Nagpal and the charge sheet filed against her.
A Bench of Chief Justice P. Sathasivam and Justice Ranjana Desai posted the matter for hearing on August 12 after advocate Manohar Lal Sharma made a 'mention' and pleaded for early listing of the case.
The petitioner said the suspension order was unconstitutional, arbitrary and lowered the constitutional systems. Also, it was against orders of the Supreme Court.
On September 29, 2009, this court directed that henceforth no unauthorised construction should be carried out or permitted in the name of temple, church, mosque or gurdwara on public streets, parks or any other public place. All the States and Union Territories had taken necessary steps to ensure that no further unauthorised construction took place and the court's directions were seriously and meticulously complied with, he said.
Ms. Nagpal was posted in Ghaziabad as the sub-divisional magistrate (SDM) in September 2012, and then got appointed as the SDM of Gautam Budh Nagar. When she visited Kadalpur village, she found encroachment on the government land and under political hand the construction of a mosque upon public land. She immediately stopped the construction work and directed the removal of the encroachment. Subsequently, she was victimised and suspended and charge-sheeted, the petition said.
Implementing the Supreme Court direction was not an offence and initiation of action against the IAS officer for performing her duty would amount to contempt of court, the petitioner noted. He sought a direction to quash the order dated July 28, passed by the Chief Minister, suspending Ms. Nagpal, and an interim stay of all further proceedings initiated against her.

Association for Pet Obesity Prevention, Banfield team up to collect obesity data
To celebrate National Pet Obesity Awareness Day on Oct. 13, Veterinary Economics Editorial Advisory Board member Dr. Ernie Ward and the Association for Pet Obesity Prevention will team up with Banfield, The Pet Hospital, to collect new data that will aid in the fight against pet obesity.
The study will collect a body condition score from patients at Banfield's 760 hospitals and will offer clients a survey to assess the pets' nutritional health. Dr. Ward says the data will give veterinary professionals a more accurate look at the growing obesity problem in America's pets. "We've got pretty good data, but this year, we're going to take it a step further," he says. "It's very exciting stuff."
Dr. Ward has collected similar data during past National Pet Obesity Awareness Day studies, but at just a few hundred clinics. With data from the 15,000 or so patients Banfield veterinarians will see on Oct. 13, the study will collect more accurate and thorough data.
"I'm intrigued because we're finally going to get a very strong dataset," Dr. Ward says. "Obesity is coming into its own as a real issue in the veterinary community."
Dr. Elizabeth Lund, Banfield's senior director of research, says the study will prove valuable to both pet owners and veterinarians by providing important insights into nutritional health. "People don't always appreciate the impact that overfeeding, lack of exercise, and sedentary lifestyles can have on pets' health," she says. "You can't manage what you don't measure."
Dr. Lund says the partnership with Dr. Ward and Association for Pet Obesity Prevention is a great fit for everyone involved. "We thought there was so much value in partnering with Dr. Ward," Dr. Lund says. "The larger the sample size, the more valuable and reliable the results are. We can help him get a big sample size. It's a win-win for all of us."

Hi folks. I just picked up my first handgun/glock and I have a few questions about it. When I was at the store the guy told me 3 places (i think) that I should lubricate before I shoot the gun for the first time but I can't seem to remember what he told me to use or where exactly on the gun he told me to and to lubricate. If someone could explain or point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it. Maybe use the Hoppe's? Can't remember. Second. I noticed when I got home that the right side of my front sight is a tad higher than the left side. It bothers me a little bit but I'm sure it's not a big deal. My question is whether I should call the shop I purchased the gun from before shooting it and if this is a common new gun problem that can be fixed easily. Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I'll check it out. Any thoughts on the other stuff?
DO NOT PUT ANY OIL IN THAT GUN before you shoot it. If anything, you need to take it apart and clean any oil that IS in there OUT of it. Glocks do not require ANY oil to function, that one of the reasons they're so amazing. It's all metal on polymer, IT DOES NOT require oil. Also, that is definitely not a common problem. However, I would try shooting it before you try to take it back. It might not make a difference, it's more the rear sight you have to worry about.
The factory front sights are press in type and it is possible that the front sight got bumped at some point, check to make sure it is pressed it fully. If you want to replace it just pull it out with a pair of pliers and install a new sight, usually secures with a small nut, just use a drop of loctite on it and let it dry for a couple of hours. As far as the lube, I like the video link above, Glocks like it dry other than a couple of drops ( SMALL ) of grease. Oil will only lead to a mess to clean up or a failure at the wrong time.
Glocks do not require much oil but there are a few key spots. Take the slide off and notice the metal to metal contact between the slide and the metallic tabs on the polymer frame serving as rails, a very small amount of grease there. The barrel, of course needs a small amount of oil. inside and a tiny bit spread on the outside. The trigger pull connector, small amount of oil or grease, right underneath the 'hook'. This makes your trigger pull smooth as can be.
Thats right stay away from the oil or grease. The barrel is the only thing i lube;actually i soak it in ballistol. I guess every blue moon you could put a tiny drop on the rails like was mentioned
It won't be apparent until you've shot a lot of rounds through it, maybe upwards of 2,000 to 2,500 rounds, but note the wear marks on the G22 slide and barrel. This gun has about 4,300 rounds through it. Sure, the gun will fire even without lube, but a small amount of lube in those areas will help prevent wear. Remember, it must be a *small* amount. If you put too much it will attract dirt, fouling and metal filings. The general debate has been whether the benefit of a small amount of lube outweighs the chance of attracting dirt/metal which can act as sandpaper between the frame and slide and the slide and barrel. Note that you don't need to lube the entire barrel or top of the slide, only the parts that make contact with each other.
Ill tell you what an Glock Armorer told me when I asked that same question. An Austrian drop of oil is about a half or even 3/4's less compared to an "American" drop of oil. They don't take much oil at all.
