We may be a little more than halfway through 2013, but in Washington and state governments across the country, the focus is increasingly on federal actions taken in 2011.
The issue can be summed up in one word: sequestration.
It is no big secret that truancy is an issue across our county, our state and our nation. The importance of sending your child to school, and on time, cannot be overemphasized. At the beginning of the school year is the best time to address this issue before it becomes an issue for your family.
Here are the answers to a few frequently asked questions about truancy:
What does it mean to be "truant"?
Items published in court news are public record. The News-Democrat publishes all misdemeanors, felonies and small-claims judgments recorded in district court, as well as all civil suits recorded in circuit court. Juvenile court cases are not published. Crime reports are provided by local law enforcement agencies. Charges or citations reported to the News-Democrat do not imply guilt.
The following decisions were rendered Wednesday and Thursday, Aug.7-8, 2013, in the Carroll County District Court with the Hon. Thomas M. Funk presiding.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Garrison, will host his sixth town hall meeting in Carrollton at 6 p.m. Aug. 22.
The town hall will be held at General Butler State Resort Park.
Massie's office stated in a news release that the town halls are part of his tour across Kentucky's 4th District in an effort to meet every constituent and listen to their concerns.
Rep. Massie remains committed to open, accessible, and responsive service, and encourages all constituents to join him at the town halls, the news release stated.
Expectations are high for the Lady Panthers volleyball team after winning their first-ever 31st District championship last season. But the girls are determined and more than ready for the challenge and to surpass it, aiming for an 8th Region championship, first-year head coach Lynn Eaglin said.
The Carroll County Public Library and Kristin Sherrard Photography hosted a Pet Portrait session Saturday in the library community garden. Ten dogs and one cat, along with their owners, attended the photo shoot. The pictures will be on display at the library during the month of September.
Carrollton Police Department recently promoted one officer to sergeant and assigned another added duties.
Tim Mitchell has been promoted to second shift sergeant, filling the position vacant after Bob Stamper retired. Mitchell joined the department in October 2010.
"(I'm) glad that I was chosen," he said. "I'm honored I was chosen over more experienced officers, and I will do my best to serve the position well."
After a summer of practicing and playing pick-up games with friends, the Panthers golf team is ready to take on the competition.
Looking at the roster, the team may be young – the Panthers have just two seniors, Nick Aulbach and first-year player Gabe Kates – but it is full of talented players, head coach Josh Mefford said.
Kentucky State Police, Trimble County Sheriff's Office, Carroll County Sheriff's Office and Switzerland County Indiana Police have been investigating multiple burglaries in their respective counties that are tied to a pair of suspects that were arrested on July 18, in Tennessee.

Soak Up Sweat
Time to tighten up your workout gear. That is, if you want to soak up sweat while you're working out. Snug-fitting clothing made from a single, thin layer of Coolmax or sport wool fabric performed best when researchers tested the evaporative cooling efficiency of various thicknesses and fits of clothing made of four different materials.
The tested materials included Coolmax (polyester), merino wool, sports wool (50% wool, 50% polyester) and cotton.

The results will intensify concern over access to primary health care out of hours. Ministers have already admitted the standard of out of hours care is not good enough.
Under controversial NHS rules, GP surgeries are not responsible for out of hours care, which is often provided by locums working for private companies.
More than 1 million people responded to the Department of Health survey about GP services for 2009/10. The results have been seen by the Daily Telegraph.
A total of 369,620 – some 35 per cent – said they did not know how to contact the local out-of-hours service in their area.
The survey showed large variations in patients' knowledge of out-of-hours services, with a majority in some areas unaware of how to find a doctor.
In Hammersmith and Fulham in London, 52 per cent did not know how to find a doctor after hours. Several other London areas showed a majority unable to find a doctor.
The survey also found that a significant number of patients were not happy with the service they received out of hours.
While 65 per cent said their care was good or very good. But 13 per cent rated their treatment as poor or very poor. Another 17 per cent said care was neither good nor poor.
Of those people responding who had used an out of hours service, 63 per cent said the service had been quick enough, but 29 per cent said the doctor took too long to respond.
The latest GP survey results were placed in the House of Commons library last week while MPs were away from Westminster for the half-term recess.
Nine million patients use GP services outside normal hours every year, and there are growing doubts about the care they are receiving.
Under a new contract introduced in 2004, GPs are no longer responsible for out of hours services.
Many health authorities hire private firms to provide cover, but those arrangements are facing growing criticism since they can leave hundreds of thousands of people with only a handful of doctors working out of office hours.
Earlier this month, a coroner found that "systemic failings" in the out of hours care system led to the death of a Cambridgeshire pensioner at the hands of an "incompetent" German locum.
An official government report into out of hours services also found widespread failings, a lax approach to interviews, misunderstandings about language testing responsibilities and patchy monitoring of quality of services.
The Conservatives have said they would make GPs "collectively responsible" for commissioning out-of-hours services once again. However, the British Medical Association is likely to resist any change in the GP contract.

Checker.Exe (The "ZEROTHREAT" process)
So I've been recently struck by a wonderful virus-ish process that's called checker.exe
based on google
1- it has no impact on performance (wrong)
2- it has no threat reports on AV sites
3- reads your e-mails and forward it to a receiver
based on what I've found and after a few days of testing this out
1- It maxes out your gpu load (prolly using your gpu's processing power)
2- Based on the above~ a constant 60 Degrees running heat on the GPU
3- Most gamers will notice there's a problem
4- I don't see any e-mails being pushed out
5- I don't track any connections being made or tapped
6- It's annoying as hell
1- Most AV don't recognize this so don't waste your time
2- If you do want to waste your time, AVG is not bad but it reappears later on
3- Easiest way is to kill the process tree.
1- Anyone got a better solution?

From what I read Checker.exe is a valid process, in most cases. Installed by some software you installed. Sometimes with Wash N Go (Whatever that is) and Xbox software.
Simple End the process, Search the C drive and the registry for that name and delete all instances. Then if some piece of software you need doesn't run anymore then reinstall it.

Nah this appeared out of nowhere as I have not downloaded anything onto this comp. I have a second pc that monitors what is downloaded and check it for any malicious content. That said nothing has been transferred too.
On my system the impact is barely noticeable as I have 64 gb of ram and dual 7970s. But when you do monitor it eats up a lot of resources (the main card from the xfire oc'ed to 1145 retains 95-99% load and temps spike up to those similar to stress test temps.
I've went through my drives with no luck but apparently avg found it today and removed it though it wasn't much of a problem considering killing the process reverts the effects temporarily.
Would just like to put this out there if anyone encounters it as web information is flawed and brings no resolution to this.

Thread: Nameberry & the LGBTQ+ Community
July 3rd, 2014 08:09 AM #16
100% ally and activist here! My closest friends are homossexual, and it made me very angry to think that they didn't have the same rights as me. In Brazil, gay marriage (converting stable union to marriage) was legalized in 2012/2013, but there is still work to do, specially concerning adoption, public opinion, and marriage that is not derived from stable union. Sadly, there are still some terrible cases of homophobia going on, and lots of daily subtle homophobic actions that don't catch people's attention, which for me are just as bad or even worse.
Narrow-minded people exist everywhere, but I'm happy we are making advances and proving they are not going to stop others from their civil rights!
Caroline. 23 year old from Brazil.

I'm not one myself, but I consider myself an admirer (with the transgender population we've had some on here seeking advice on choosing a new name in the transition process, and I've used them as a point to defend my side when there was a debate over some name-change issues).

Wow, it's so heart warming to see support actually written down. I got a little choked up, to be honest.
I'd just like to put it out there that if anyone on nameberry (teenberry or otherwise) is struggling with their sexuality, my inbox is always open. I may not be there in person, but I've found from personal experience that it helps to talk to someone objective who has gone through similar struggles. Phone help lines are also really great - most countries have them and some even specialise in sexuality - and you can call from phone booths if you feel you have too.

This official news post is from before the launch of Old School RuneScape and is copied verbatim from the RuneScape website. It is copyrighted by Jagex.
This update was added on 9 September 2003.
This update was added on 9 September 2003.
We would like to make everyone aware that we have added Rule 12 to our rules.
This rule says that:
'RuneScape items must only be exchanged for other items/services within the game. Exchanging RuneScape items for real-life money or other real-life benefits is not allowed.'
This is not a new rule - it has always been part of the terms and conditions that every player agrees to when creating their account. However, we felt that this needed to be made absolutely clear, so it is now also part of our rules.
The reason for this is simple - We want RuneScape to be a game where everyone has the same chance regardless of their wealth in real-life.This is also the reason we don't sell RuneScape items for cash on our own website. Even though we could make extra money in this way. We don't think it's fair or even fun if players can just buy their way to the top!

Vision Therapy is a doctor-supervised program
designed to improve the function of the visual system.
Whether the visual issue is developmental in nature (strabismus and amblyopia), academic (vision-related learning difficulties), acquired (brain injury or concussion) or sports-related (sports vision training), we are fully equipped to properly assess, advise and treat when indicated.
Vision can be compromised as a result of neurological disorders or trauma to the nervous system. Vision Therapy can effectively treat the visual consequences of brain trauma (including double vision). To help rehabilitate persistent visual symptoms, we will work through a wide variety of enjoyable activities and fusional exercises that are designed to improve identified areas of weakness in the visual system.
Did you know that 80% of problem readers are deficient in 1 or more visual skills? A vision-related learning problem directly affects how we learn, read, or sustain close work. Visual problems can have a significant impact on learning. Vision Therapy can help those individuals who lack the necessary visual skills for effective reading, writing, and learning (i.e., eye movement and focusing skills, convergence, eye-hand activity, visual memory skills, etc.).
Strong visual skills are critical to sports success. Not much happens in sports until your eyes instruct your hands and body as to what to do! We can measure and successfully improve eye-hand coordination, visual reaction time, peripheral vision, eye focusing, eye tracking and teaming, visualization skills, and more. Find out how to improve localization, tracking, teaming and peripheral awareness skills for the high-level athletic performer through Vision Therapy.
"I feel like have improved a lot with my reading, writing and attention. People have been telling me that I'm now looking at them when I'm speaking or being spoken to. There really has been a huge improvement with almost everything that I do now. When I'm on the computer or reading and my eyes get a little sore, I just put my glasses on and it gets better. Almost nothing is going double on me anymore. In the past, I think I was just so used to seeing double that I had started to feel like it was normal. Everyone here is really doing a wonderful job and I really want to thank you for helping me. I think I'd put all of you on my favorite people list!"
"Vision Therapy has been extremely helpful for allowing me to work for much longer periods of time (now up to 8 hours). My ability to read without symptoms flaring up has greatly improved and my ability to hold words in place (when reading or on the computer) has improved so much as well. I feel that my eyes are now working significantly better together – words are clearer in general and I almost never see double anymore. All of the movement that I was seeing on the page before is now gone."
"I feel like I have improved in so many areas as a result of Vision Therapy. I'm faster at reading and enjoy it much more. I'm able to remember what I read on previous days and don't need to reread sentences and paragraphs and pages multiple times. I'm also not falling asleep within 15 minutes of starting to read! I am also no longer getting annoyed with my eyes and never feel like I'm losing control of them the way I did before. This is such a big deal for me! I really can't think of any ways that you could improve your program. It was really great and I'm so happy with my improvement!"
"Taylor is so happy to realize the improvements that her sessions have had on her vision. It is now much easier for her to read and concentrate on her work at school. Her eyes no longer hurt! Vision Therapy has also made her feel far more confident overall (no small thing). The way you are providing care is very effective and we are so happy that our family eye doctor referred us to Dr. Rollett and Rhonda."
I've seen major improvements in my eye's ability to focus and team together and have learned how to make them work properly when they just wouldn't before. Thanks so much Dr. Rollett and Loreta!
I can finally read street signs at first glance and not have them go double on me! I really feel that overall my vision has strengthened a great deal.
Since starting the program, I haven't had a single headache. I'm now able to keep my head up and straight while reading and writing. The glasses and the therapy has really helped me when at school and I'm not nearly as fatigued after all the reading and writing that I've had to do in high school. I know I'll be much more prepared for university now!
I'm now able to easily control both of my eyes and stop my double vision if it occurs. I feel that I'm a much better multitasker now and have had a large decrease in the number of headaches that I get. My eyes are much less sore when reading for long periods of time - which is extremely helpful being in University.
Kailian's printing and handwriting have improved immensely. He also seems to be able to stay on task much more than he has ever been able to. His newfound willingness to try new things and tackle new problems at school as well as at home is what I am most impressed with!
The biggest change we've seen with Maia is that she is now an AVID reader. She won't go to bed at night because she can't put her books down! To go from being a child who disliked reading several months ago to this is incredible!
Aiden is now able to read comfortably for the first time! We have seen massive improvements in his school performance over the course of the 6 months of therapy and could not be more thankful for your program!
We've seen a huge improvement in Madeline's focus during Vision Therapy which has translated into so many areas of her life (ie: sports, school, etc). Another huge area of improvement since the beginning of Vision Therapy is her willingness to try activities. Whether this is new activities for vision or trying some new math homework at home (she never used to do this!). Thanks so much for everything!
When I began this program I was really struggling with not being able to concentrate while doing just about anything. Now, I am able to focus my eyes without feeling pulling or feeling any tension. I don't feel any pain in class anymore either. I am very thankful to everyone here for helping me so much with my eyes. Everything about your service was perfect to me and went very smoothly. Thank you!
The biggest change I've noticed is that my headaches have practically disappeared! I rarely see double anymore and the odd time I do, I can easily correct it. Thanks for everything!
My reading has really improved as a result of Vision Therapy and my writing has changed so much for the better. I am no longer writing or seeing double words, my printing is neater and I don't experience the headaches that prompted me to seek treatment in the first place. This was never promised or really even discussed when we started out, but I also generally feel that I can just "see" so much better overall. All my life I have struggled with my balance. Walking into corners, stumbling down stairs and not being able to catch anything that was thrown to me. I am absolutely amazed by how much I have improved in these areas after only 4 months of treatment. I feel so much more balanced, am no longer falling down stairs at all and have been able to confidently catch things for the first time. I always thought I was just naturally clumsy! Your service was just perfect and I am so thankful for all you have done for me!
I feel much more comfortable in school and am no longer getting my usual daily headaches.
I feel like my hand-eye coordination has greatly improved, as well as my ability to track and focus on objects in the distance.
I feel like my reading has gotten a lot better and am now able to catch a ball for the first time. I feel like I have much more control of my eyes and if I lose focus can just blink and it comes back.
After 3 sessions of Vision Therapy, I already feel that my driving has greatly improved. I can now comfortably drive for 1-2 hours, whereas before I was needing to pull over every 10-15 minutes. I also feel that my balance has improved greatly and as a surprise bonus, my comfort on the golf course is better than it has been in a decade – I'm actually keeping my balance through my swing! Thanks so much for everything!
Since performing Vision Therapy, Zachary has found reading to be easier and faster, he has improved his skills throwing and catching a ball and is generally nowhere near as "clumsy" as before.
Not knowing what to expect with Vision Therapy, and thinking this would be a long process to effect change, I was pleasantly surprised that I can see results myself in my little guy, with less wandering of the eye and both eyes "working as a team". I am so grateful that we have access to such a wonderful program in our community.
I am now no longer seeing double, unless I want to ☺
I no longer experience daily dull migraine-like headaches and feel much more comfortable visually at work. My work requires a great deal of computer work and I find I can stay on task for much longer periods of time than before.
Dr. Rollett was great and very encouraging to my son. My son now has a positive response to reading.
I feel like my reading has gotten a lot better at school and think that other kids should definitely do Vision Therapy. I really liked the video games!
Vision Therapy has been helpful for improving my balance and for getting me to start feeling like I'm using my two eyes together again. My visual focus still occasionally blurs in and out, but not nearly as much as when I started.
My reading and balance have greatly improved as a result of Vision Therapy. I am finally able to drive once again! More doctors truly need to be made aware of this program.
While I do still intermittently experiences moments of double vision, I feel that I now have much greater control of my eyes. The constant frontal headaches and discomfort have reduced greatly. I used to have issues with shoulder checking in a vehicle and transitioning from looking far to my dash, but this is no longer a problem for me.
I have seen a difference in the fatigue I feel in my eyes and the extent that my symptoms come on has improved too. On a personal note, having the feedback and knowledge from Dr. Rollett has been very beneficial to me throughout this therapy for peace of mind in my recovery. Very helpful so far - thank you!
Since beginning Vision Therapy I have been able to tolerate reading and computer tasks for the first time. It has helped me gain control of my drifting right eye and both eyes now seem to be tracking well together.
I feel this program has been very useful to me. I am no longer seeing double, even when I remove my glasses. Thank you so much for all of your help.

Tricks To Skyrocket Your Website Traffic With Reddit
While you are running an online business, the most essential and stressful task you have to undertake is driving traffic to your website.
It can be an extremely expensive affair at times! You have to invest not only money but time and effort as well. It's really painful because nowadays, it is difficult in getting your target market to land on your site.
Why is it so? Because competition is excessive in the market.
But… wait, it isn't that bad, though.
Also Read: How To - Export Facebook Contacts To Excel - using Yahoo mail?
Beating Competition
This excessive competition also enable us to have some social bookmarking platforms that can allow us to market our websites and boost our website traffic overnight.
Reddit is one of these social bookmarking platforms that enables you to boost your website traffic
Now, your site's traffic can be boosted like never before. Indeed, Reddit is one of the best social bookmarking sites you can promote your website or your blog.
I am going to give an explanation of what this social bookmarking site called Reddit is all about.
What is Reddit?
Reddit is a social bookmarking platform where that allow users to post all sorts of currents news, blog posts and trends as well.
IT, health, fashion, lifestyle, politics, gaming as well as business are the major topics which users talk about on Reddit.
When you register on Reddit, you will become a Redditor (the user) before you can share your links, you have to join the groups (known as subreddits), and these groups have different topics you can choose from. You can choose any topic of your interest. Then you can share valuable links when you are part of the community.
You can as well market your product via sharing links to your blog posts and creating your ads.
But the rule is that you have to share valuable and informative links and not links that not authentic. And note that redditors do not like too much SELF-PROMOTION.
So you have to promote mildly and don't be too pushy.
Let's talk about the major topic of how you can promote your site and bring more and more traffic to your website eventually via Reddit.
Also Read: Auto Click FB Like Button - No Coding Knowledge Required
Here are the ways you can drive more traffic to your site via Reddit
1.Share your content regularly
In this case you have to regularly share your contents and being active in discussion, make sensible comments, avoid being saucy in your comments. This will enable you to build a good reputation amongst your colleagues.
And note that sharing your content regularly does not mean you should be posting irrelevant comments or spam or upvoting a link randomly.
Your comment and links are upvoted by redditors if they are informative. So that why is your comments and links are not taken lightly.
So when you post regularly and build good relationships, it can turn your name into a brand.
2. Your website should not be over promoted
When you are posting for the first or second time on Reddit, never you promote your website. If you are a blog owner or a website owner, then ensure that you follow these steps by Reddit.
You may be asking why I am emphasizing on this?
Because Self-promotion is NOT appreciated on Reddit!
It is a big No-No if you start marketing your website to drive traffic immediately after you have registered because redditors will definitely label you as a self-promoter. In this case, every link you share on Reddit will be downvoted.
Also, note that Reddit moderators and users have spam filters and they keep an eye on your sharing activities. If you continuously publish one link, they will put your links in the spam category.
Therefore, over promotion must be avoided or else people will lose interest in your subreddit. And trust me, you will not afford to lose such a huge traffic to your blog or website.
3.Join A Relevant Subreddit
Redditors hate irrelevance therefore your links have to be very authentic and real.
You are totally wrong if you think you can post a lot of links in other to drive traffic to your website. So you have to make sure that the subreddit which you want to post does match with your content and the subreddit topic.
When you are original and don't spam at all, Redditors love it. A wider reach will be built eventually. And this will bring in more traffic to your website.
4.Share Quality Content Only
Your content must be of high-quality and once you post irrelevant content, you will simply lose a lot of followers and you can't afford to do that.
When you post high-quality content, you will get more upvotes and karma points.
Furthermore, quality content will skyrocket your website traffic.
Matched Content

text: From the looks of the parking lot, nobody really needs to read this! But just in case you were the one who wasn't there today... Arrived about 9:00, nice day, no wind (OMG!) Finger test put the air temp mid-50s or so. Got all dressed up and started to pack the tube toward the lake, but then figured I'd better use the john. Seems like every trip I'm a couple hours into fishing and I'm ready to burst. Anyway, I was doing my thing in the corner urinal and... Holy Crap! A big ol' Black Widow spider perched right at the top of the ceramic depository! Took the forceps and got hold of a leg (very carefully, mind you), then took that bad boy outside. Okay, I know it was a female. Set it on the ground and thought about stomping it, but it started making its way toward the grass so I let it be. The wind finally picked up as soon as I got in the water of course, but it was tolerable. Finger test put the water at about 50 degrees. (I don't need a thermometer of course, scientists calibrate their instruments by my finger.) Hooked into my first fish as I was arriving at the other side of the lake. I was just slow trolling a Shane Stalcup-ish olive nymph (I'll share the recipe if anyone really wants to know). It was a decent 18" rainbow, pretty dark. About 10:30 the chironomids started hatching. Lots of sz14 grey miges, some seemed to be pretty red (don't know if these were hatching from bloodworms or what). Quite a few smaller ones hatching as well, about sz20. I used my trustworthy Elk-Hair Chironomid Emerger dry for a while, but it let me down. Finally tied on a sz14 Callibaetis parachute pattern and got one on top (yay!). Guess they weren't all that picky after all. Another 18" fish, this one real bright and colorful, nice red stripes down the sides. Everyone else on the lake was kicking my butt though. Sounded like most people were bobber-watching, a few others having luck on top as well. The hatch lasted for hours, but I had to get out for a bit. Needed a coffee/foot warming break. Saw a damsel nymph in the water next to shore, took notes for tying patterns. I got skunked a while longer, then caved and went bobber watching. I've NEVER gotten anything like this mind you, I think I'm just too impatient for it. That's why I wasn't even looking when the stupid yellow thing disappeared. Lifted the rod, and holy crap! A fish! That didn't last too long, though. He was just teasing me. I guess they take chironomids real softly, just like everyone says...very strange how that happens. But eventually I got one. Another 18" rainbow, pretty dark. This one didn't fight very hard though, and looked underweight for the size of his head. Let him loose as quickly as I could, figured he needed all the help he could get. Missed a couple more hits on the chironomid, but that's okay. Finally got some faith in the little buggers. I had on a size 14 tan thread-bodied guy with a little puff of fluff on his head. Around 4:00 I decided to start heading back. Tied on a big ugly experimental dragonfly nymph for the trip back, but nothing. At least I experimented I guess. By the time I hit shore, I had to pee again like a madman and I was really damn cold. I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to the cold. Finger test put my internal body temp about 40 degrees. (okay, that one's a joke.) Overall a decent day for me, though. I'm not a master of the lake by any stretch, but it was a nice day to be on the water. Damn, sorry to be so long-winded about it!:dunno

open poker championship logoSubmitted by Matti Degueldre on 10 May 2010 - 9:40am
I was asked to design a logo for the 'OPC'.
Couple of things I took in account, it should have an official look to it,
use of blue and red (nba-nfl...), the short for 'open poker championship' should
be well readable (easy reference for people;'yeah I'm attending the OPC')
and there should be a direct link to poker in the main visual.
I created the following logo's but I feel there could be some improvement (mainly on the visual consistency-coherence and used type),
It would be nice if you guys could share some thoughts !
Thanks in advance,

The thing I love most about summer where my wardrobe is concerned? It gives me the perfect excuse to break out the brights BIG time and choose classic summery colours from head to toe. White blazers (I love my one from Wallis) are THE summer staple this year it seems - though I'm sure they say that every year...! I love the in-your-face brightness of white with this tomato red and mustard yellow. A tote bag bag in a neutral colour may seem like a cop-out, but I went neutral on purpose as I think the muted olive colour is a nice contrast to the brights and actually shows off the faux ostrich leather more.
So that's enough about my outfit - have you entered my giveaway?! I'm so excited about this one...
There's two prizes - a bag and a wallet - it's international, and together they're worth nearly £200. Click here or on the image below to go to the post and enter now, there's still plenty of time!

Jon Stewart says Mitt Romney's attempt to bet Rick Perry $10,000 during a Republican debate makes a little more sense now.
On Monday's "Daily Show," he used Romney's tax returns, which he released Tuesday, to calculate that Romney has earned roughly $57,000 a day, for the past two years, from investments.
That's the kind of money, Stewart said, that might inspire a man to make "stupidly extravagant, out-of-touch impulse bets."
But Stewart's real criticism of Romney isn't that he's rich -- it's how little he pays in taxes. The former Massachussets governor has earned an estimated $42 million in the last two years, according to his returns, and paid about 14 percent in taxes.
Stewart notes that in 2007, Romney's company, Bain Capital, was among those that lobbied against a bill that would have raised the tax rate on taxpayers like Romney to the ordinary income tax rate of 35 percent.

Bullet for My Valentine Enter Studio for New Album Recording
"Time to get heavy," says frontman Matt Tuck.
Welsh metallers Bullet for My Valentine have confirmed hitting the studio to commence the recording of their new record, a follow-up to last year's "Temper Temper."
"Happy new year everyone!" frontman Matt Tuck briefly tweeted yesterday (January 6). "Today we enter the studio for session one of album five. Time to get heavy."
As reported, the band is looking to go heavier with the new record and return to the original sound. Describing the upcoming release as "completely different from 'Temper Temper,'" drummer Michael Thomas told Billboard: "It's definitely more of a step towards our first two records. We always like to keep changing our records and our sounds and stuff. I think you have to change, otherwise it gets boring for us and the fans get bored."
Sticking to their guns, the band premiered new track "Raising Hell" back in November. You can check it out below.
Happy new year everyone!! Today we enter the studio for session 1 of album 5. Time to get heavy. MT.

Swimming with the fishes...
Kailua-Kona Travel Blog› entry 3 of 6 › view all entries
March 3rd, 2008 – by: agarcia
The raft they used was the smallest transport I have ever been in while in the ocean - it was kind of scary.
The raft had room for about 12 people and 2 crewmembers. During the ride we sat at the edges of the raft and held onto the interior railings and ropes. There were also no canopies so sunscreen was a must.
The driver was excellent. She gave us a thrill ride as she maneuvered the raft through some rocks and we felt the sides of the raft lean from one side to the other as she made her turns. She could've easily driven the raft around the rocks but it wouldn't have been as exciting.
She at times decided to follow other rafts and their wake made the front of our own raft bounce up and down.
We snorkeled in two locations - Honaunau Bay also referred as the Place of Refuge and the Kealakekua Bay. The waters were generally calm and though the water was cold upon entering, you soon get used to it. And having some of my family around me gave me a sense of security and kept at bay my fear of water deeper than 5 ft. That made it the perfect time to test my underwater casing for my camera.
Honaunau Bay is known to have Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles swim at the bay. It was such a thrill when I realized that one of these turtles decided to swim a few feet below me. It was much smaller than the ones we saw on Punalu'u Beach so we guessed it was relatively young.
We stayed there for about a half hour before we moved to the next snorkeling spot.
At Kealakekua Bay we saw Captain Cook's monument, which stands on land owned by the British government. The monument was set to commemorate the location where native Hawaiians had killed Captain Cook in some conflict between the Hawaiians and the British crew.
There were no turtles in this spot but the water and fishes were a lot clearer thanks to the sunnier skies. Another cool thing to see was how the coral reefs sloped away into deep waters.
At this location, the coldness of the water was getting to my fellow snorkelers and me. Only the man who wore a wetsuit was willing to stay longer and was the last one to come back into the raft.
One more thing to note is that several rafts of the company go out at the same time and kept in constant communication with each other. When one group saw whales or dolphins the word spread quickly among the other groups. So in addition to snorkeling we got to see spinner dolphins and some whales. There was one whale that actually breached the surface and created a nice splash.
The crew told us that there were laws that required us to remain 100 ft away from dolphins and whales so we watched them from a safe distance.

Beginner Band.
What they lack in talent they make up for with enthusiasm.
Can anyone recommend a good brand of ear plugs?
{Aussie Wordless Wednesday}
Lol great photos!! Good luck to you and your ears :)
Any brand will do! My eldest son, who has additional needs in many areas, is an all too competent drummer, guitar player and bagpipe enthusiast. A killer. I don't envy you.
Love to meet you via Wordless Wednesday.
Oh my! Perhaps a sound proof cubby house would be a good idea ;)
Love it - they look so happy :) Have you got air muffs yet?
so great, I played trumpet and I used to love it! But yes im sure if you spoke to my mother, she would suggest ear muffs
DIY sound proofing -
Open up the wardrobe door and have them sit facing into the wardrobe. The clothes absorb the sound and the door(s) stop it spreading outwards.
It works, and is the sanity break of many a parent.
We never had to resort to putting them in the wardrobe and shutting the door.
Oh, you can feel her excitement through the photo!
Ha ha a great photo and oh so true. My son wants to play drums. We are delaying the decision but he is still keen.
you brave brave woman.... Good luck
And I thought the good old recorder was bad. :)
Miss 11 plays the violin and has for 3 years... I still think I need earplugs! x
oooh!! If my son goes to the highschool I want him to attend, I am hoping he will learn the bagpipes!!
So enthusiastic! Hope your ears aren't too sore!
I am thinking you were very sleepy when you signed the permission slips
My son really wants to learn the trumpet but I keep forgetting to sign the paperwork. I feel very guilty, but.....

Every year, the producers behind the scenes of the World's Loudest Month (Carolina Rebellion) are on the prowl for bands that fit the job description: thunderous, chaotic and unpredictable. Goodbye June, a newcomer on the circuit this season fits the mold; just ask the stage crew down in La Grange, Texas that fixed a blown circuit breaker, not once, but twice during a live show, because of the Tennessee rock natives. In addition to creating headlines through raw-power, the trio has toured with the likes of ZZ Top, made their way onto video game soundtracks and television broadcasts. Goodbye June fit the bill and enter Carolina Rebellion as one of the many bands to see.
Volume caught up with Goodbye June ahead of their inaugural appearance at Carolina Rebellion and the World's Loudest Month.
Over the summer you guys blew a breaker during a show with ZZ Top, do you think Rebellion promoters got word of that? The energy, power and excitement that you emit on stage is exactly what this three-day weekend is all about.
That story and a few others seem to arrive to the cities before we do. We play every show like it's our last, when you have that mindset, I think the fans feel it and it starts to feel like a community and not just a concert.
For the southeast, Carolina Rebellion might be the most energized festival in the area. Last season a record 90,000+ people rolled through the turnstiles. How excited are you to be a part of the festival this year?
"We are excited and proud to be one of the rock bands repping Nashville! It's an honor to get to play to so many loyal rock fans! We promise we'll give you everything we've got. There's gonna be hair, sweat, maybe blood, possible vomit, and straight up rock 'n' roll, so come expecting a rock show."
Out of the entire lineup, who are you looking forward to hanging out with the most?
We're huge fans of Soundgarden! Those guys are a timeless rock band and will have a lasting impact on music forever. Rival Sons, Highly Suspect, Eagles of Death Metal, Coheed and Cambria are all stellar bands we hope to meet and catch their sets and hang.
As a fan, what was your first music festival experience? Do you remember what that felt like?
I remember trying to hook up with the cute girl who likes the same bands as you do. Sneaking around after the last show is over. Felt like I was on my own and I could be any person I wanted. So mostly teenage exploits and nonsense.
Has there been any thoughts of new music or the potential of an unheard song that you might unveil in the early summer?
Their will be lots of new material 🙂 Stay tuned to our socials as we'll have some big announcements soon.
Goodbye June will tour the east coast in addition to a few select dates across the U.S. before returning to North Carolina on May 5. Information regarding the band, new releases and tickets for their Spring tour can be found HERE.

Autoregressive multifactor APT model for U.S. Equity Markets
Arbitrage Pricing Theory is a one period asset pricing model used to predict equity returns based on a multivariate linear regression. We choose three sets of factors – Market specific, firm specific, and an autoregressive return term to explain returns on twenty U.S. stocks, using monthly data over the period 2000-2005. Our findings indicate that, apart from the CAPM beta factor, at least five other factors are significant in determining time series and cross sectional variations in returns. The times series regression establishes factor loadings and the cross sectional regression gives the risk premiums associated with these factors.

FLOWERY BRANCH - The blue-collar workers of the NFL have a message for the couch potatoes of the "Nielsen family" - ratings, schmatings.
No matter what the TV meter readers at Nielsen Media Research say, Monday Night Football remains special to the NFL's players and coaches. The program's ratings are half what they were 15 years ago, down from 21.8 percent of households to 11 percent.
That decline will bump Monday Night Football from network television to cable's ESPN next season. But when Hank Williams Jr. asks, "Are you ready for some football?" at 9 p.m. each Monday, guys like Atlanta Falcons tailback T.J. Duckett answers, "You bet."
"It's prestigious. Monday night is Monday night," said Duckett, whose team plays the New York Jets this week on Monday Night Football. "There's a reason why it's the only game.
"As for the ratings, I don't get it."
Mysterious decline
Duckett's not alone in being mystified by Monday Night Football's hard times.
The weekly games are widely considered the most successful sports program in television history. Only one current prime-time program predates it: the CBS news show 60 Minutes, which debuted in 1968, two years before Monday Night Football's kickoff.
ABC passed on renewing the Monday Night Football contract this spring, though. The network claims it lost $150 million on the games last year and wasn't willing to cough up $1.1 billion per year - double what it currently pays - to keep the show.

LOS ANGELES -- California Attorney General Bill Lockyer took over the top floor of Los Angeles City Hall on Thursday to stage a fact-finding discussion of the state's soaring gasoline prices, just as those prices appear to be peaking.
Representatives from consumer organizations, the California Energy Commission and the oil industry told a sometimes credulous, sometimes incredulous audience that in their view, either the system was broken, or everything was exactly what one ought to expect.
One thing everybody agreed upon: There isn't enough motor fuel in California.
"The market is broken, it has been broken for several years and it hasn't been fixed," said John Felmy, chief economist of the American Petroleum Institute.
"We now have 18 types of gasoline that we have to produce in this country," he said, pointing out that most of those gasoline types cannot be traded back and forth between different geographic regions.
"California is isolated, because it has its own unique blend of gasoline," Felmy said.
In Felmy's view, the state's isolation, its distance from other sources of refined gasolines -- it could take weeks to ship gasoline from non-California refineries into the Golden State to pick up the slack when a California refinery unexpectedly shuts down -- and the fact that the state's refineries are perpetually operating at 95 percent of capacity or higher mean that it cannot behave like a rational open market.
Holding a somewhat more skeptical view, Michael Shames, the executive director of San Diego-based Utility Consumers' Action Network, challenged the suggestion that the oil companies are caught up in the imperfection of California's gasoline market right along with the motoring public.
"After eight years of empirical observation, we have determined that the state of the California gasoline market is disturbingly similar to the state of the electricity wholesale markets in 2000-2001," Shames said.
"Gasoline price volatility that we've tracked since 2002 suggests that gasoline companies are taking increasingly bold steps to overcharge California consumers and will continue this strategy until California state officials take action," Shames said.
The state has steps in mind, according to Pat Perez, manager of the transportation fuels office of the California Energy Commission. His office is recommending setting as a state goal the reduction of gasoline consumption 15 percent below 2003 levels before 2020.
He also said the Energy Commission favored adoption of a one-stop permitting and approval process for companies that want to add refining capacity or build refineries.
Often it is the objections raised by neighbors and local governments that kill refinery projects, and the one-stop move could be expected to shift the permitting process to the state and away from local control.
But while refiners might be expected to applaud the one-stop idea, they are decidedly lukewarm about reducing consumption, according to Western States Petroleum Association President Joe Sparano.
"The state had 33 refineries in 1980; today it has 13," Sparano said.
"The California refining industry just spent $6 billion in the 1990s so they could make the cleanest gasoline in the world," he said. "Why would anyone want to invest any more in an industry in California when it is state policy to reduce consumption of the industry's product 15 percent?"
Shames insisted that the way the market works is just fine with the oil companies, just six of which, he said, control 97 percent of California's gasoline refining capacity. That's up, he said, from 90 percent just five years ago.
In San Diego, he said, the situation is even worse than statewide.
"Only four retailers -- Arco, Chevron, Shell and 76/Phillips -- dominate the San Diego gasoline market," Shames said. "Independents have approximately 10 percent of the San Diego market. We are fools to be relying upon this dysfunctional gasoline market."
Responsibility for the problem should be laid at the feet of Saudi Arabia, said economist Phillip Verleger Jr. of the Institute for International Economics.
"Saudi Arabia has a monopoly policy," he said.
The Middle Eastern country has expanded its daily crude oil output capacity to 14 million barrels, about double what it actually produces. The result is that, while it bids up prices by cutting production, it stands ready to punish any country that tries to capitalize on the higher crude price by suddenly flooding the market, driving down the price and leaving the would-be competitor awash in cheap oil.
"Are you saying we invaded the wrong Middle Eastern country?" Lockyer joked.
"I'll answer that when California has its own foreign policy," Verleger replied. "The Saudis manipulate the supply to minimize stock on hand."
A high price backed by the threat of sudden overproduction means that investing in a stockpile could bankrupt a company or a country. Verleger likened the Saudi control over oil prices to the DeBeers company's control over the international price of diamonds.

The main reason why an ice breaker is very important is due to the fact that it establishes agreeable setting for activities to take place through assisting the members to become comfortable. These schemes are all the more essential if the individuals involved do not know each other to make a good start. Ice breakers will help the members with becoming at ease and also set the mood for a meeting to develop. This at ease mood will largely help the, with becoming more receptive and focus so they could actively pay attention to all types of communication.
Ice breaker is an act in public speaking which is made to connect the members and to break the silence as well as to get the participants set to know what you are about to discuss. On the other hand, lots of ice breakers available out there online are average and in many cases awkward to utilize.
You have to avoid making lame and generalized jokes which do not have something to do with the business or with you as well. Certainly you have to keep away from jokes which may offend the members or the participants.
You do not need to create a joke that can hurt the feeling of somebody in the members or audience, or a joke which is at the cost of the business. But a joke at yourself expense tends to function well as you are pointing yourself so people or participant simple laugh along with you or with that.
Jokes such as " prior to coming here today I was conversing my talk with my beloved wide and she told me: John don't try to be witty, or too charming or too smart, just be yourself"
Never expect a loud and full blown hilarity with this joke; on the other hand it is only a sort of teaser, just some type of warming up the audience and you as a speaker as well.
Like for instance in a formal dinner, and the everyone is having similar meal or have to exchanging meals, try to say this thing" don't you believe it is amazing that all of us gather tonight just to select similar meal"? This is corny on the other hand most of the time it works.
You can say" I have a worse sense regarding this, I was discussing to (choose the person you want) they told me they were going to give a joke prior I spoke however rather they only introduced me. So, you are implying you are the story.
There are just some ideas for few jokes which you can say, obviously one which you have are perhaps better. Always keep in mind that the business where you work and the case you are in. The more suitable to the condition and more personal you are certain that your joke will work. On the other hand you have to make sure and keep in mind that the joke must not offend others.

If you have a kid and they're attending school in the US, you'll know that school uniforms are really expensive. They make you purchase the uniforms usually from some expensive outfitters, and sometimes, families just can't afford that, and if you can't, your kids often face detention for not respecting the school's dress code.
One such example was Catherine Guggenheimer Pearlman, whose daughter is already 5'7″ and her shorts stop just above her fingertips. Due to this, shall I say, calamity, her daughter has been dress coded twice in a row, and since a third dress code meant detention, Catherine decided that she had had enough and decided to send a message to the principal himself.
My girl was dress coded two days in a row. It's impossible to find shorts that are remotely fashionable and below her finger tips. She's tall with long arms and fingers. One more code and she will have detention. And making the policy even more frustrating is that there isn't a dress code for high school.
This is the letter, as posted on the Today community page:
"Thank you for sending a note home for the second day in a row to say my daughter was dressed inappropriately for school," the letter starts. "I'd like to offer an additional thank you for forcing her to change into large mesh shorts that have been worn by only god knows who and potentially never washed."
"To reward you for treating my daughter with such concern, I am cordially inviting you to take my daughter shopping."
"Here are the specifications you have to work with. I wish you loads of luck. She is 5'7" and 13 years old. Built more like her father, she has exceptionally long legs and arms."
"She doesn't like anything pink or purple or frilly."
"She won't wear pants because she gets overheated easily. Trust me I've seen this. It will cause a scene in the school yard."
"She absolutely will not wear a dress either."
"No item of clothing can have a logo visible because to her that's not cool. She will however, wear any type of superhero, Green Day or USFL T-shirt if you can find them. You might be able to try for an occasional Beatles reference but that's touch and go."
"Now, don't forget that you will have to find something in the stores that also meets with your dress code requirements. Here are the tricky areas that are most difficult to avoid. As per your policy she cannot wear tank tops. Shorts and skirts must not extend to the end of the fingertips (This is a toughie.)"
"So, if I were you (and I'm glad I'm not) I'd focus on the shorts first. She has very long fingers which seems to make finding shorts that won't get her sent to the principal's office impossible (On the bright side the piano teacher says those fingers are an asset.). I'd schedule a few afternoons and weekends for this endeavor. I can tell you from experience that just heading to the mall, Target and the outlets won't cut it. Not much for her there. I've already checked."
"One last point: please try to stay within a reasonable budget. We can't spend a fortune on her wardrobe. She is still growing after all."
"I thank you endlessly for taking on this chore. What a relief for me."
"Sick Of The Dress Code Mom"
"P.S. I forgot to thank you for making it clear to my daughter that her body is somehow a distraction, either to herself or to the boys. I thought she might have missed the message earlier in the year when the gym teacher told her she couldn't wear yoga pants because the boys aren't able to control themselves. I appreciate how hard you are working to drive the point home."
Oh, you get 'em, mama. Especially for that last part.

A city cop has been accused of pocketing nearly $7,000 by cashing two stolen checks, officials said Friday.
Officer Gerardo Laera, 24, was working extra shifts at a Queens paint store when he pinched two checks from a real estate firm the store shares space with, prosecutors said.
Laera allegedly stole a check around Sept. 30 that the owner of Douglaston Development Corporation had written to "cash" for $2,000 and stashed in his desk. The firm shares a hallway with Clearview Paint Supply on Francis Lewis Blvd. in Bayside, where Laera was working.

On the wall in the main gallery at the Lyndon House Arts Center, visitors first come upon "Robbie and Julian," a painting by 23-year-old Athens artist Sunny Taylor. It is the kind of artwork that stops you, pulls you in as you realize you are, without question, standing in the presence of greatness.

In fact, the painting has drawn comparison to the works of Baroque master Caravaggio; while contemporary in subject matter, Taylor's work is painted with the richness of classical works of art.
On the wall opposite, in perfect contrast, are large scale photographs by Michael Lachowski. Also contemporary in subject matter, these works pop out at you in the vivid pop art genre they inhabit. This "Marshmallow" series features a beautiful youth, sprawled and smiling at us from unadorned red lips that match the red of the sleeping bag on which he reclines, his teeth white like the marshmallows spilling around him. It calls to mind fashion magazine spreads that objectify beauty and idealize youth.
Vastly different in genres, the work of these two artists shown together makes for a fascinating exhibit. Curated by former Georgia Museum of Art curator Donald Keyes, the exhibit again bears testament to the level of talent in Athens.
With the bulk of the work on display in the Ronnie Lukasiewicz Gallery, the pieces are divided fairly evenly between the artists. Taylor's oil paintings include two self-portraits painted from photographs of herself as an infant. Afflicted with arthrogryposis - the result of pollution from a U.S. military base that improperly disposed of chemicals - Taylor has limited movement of her hands and paints with her mouth.
Monira Al-Haroun Silk/Staff
Detail from "Boombox," 1982, chalk, graphite and paint on paper by Michael Lachowski.
In these self-portraits titled "Johnny Jumper" and "Butterfly" or ("Self Portrait with Wings"), there is an intensity in her facial expression that seems more fitting for an adult.
Taylor laughs a bit about this - "I was pretty intense," she says, but adds that in "Butterfly," where she's fallen over and seems to be struggling to get up, she thinks she was just frustrated, as her mother was, instead of helping her, snapping a photo. Now captured grand-scale in oil, the painting from that photograph seems to foretell Taylor's determination.
Among Taylor's oil paintings is a collection of watercolors, that, while quicker, gestural studies still are deeply engaging, taking us not just into the expression of her subjects, but the stillness of their thoughts. These works were recently on display in Atlanta's Arts for All gallery.
On the other side of the Ronnie Lukasiewicz Gallery, Lachowski's drawings and photographs merge together for a look at contemporary culture - from an artist's perspective. The drawings, a series focused on music, exude energy for their gestural spontaneity, and have earned Lachowski's work comparisons to 20th century abstract artist Cy Twombly. Lachowski's drawings are exhilarating and exciting in a way commercial advertising wants to be but leaves us wanting and empty. The drawings, on the other hand, while vying for our attention, don't cheapen us for granting it.
Monira Al-Haroun Silk/Staff
Detail from "Jeff," 2004, oil on canvas by Sunny Taylor.
"House," a collection of photographs, are interior vignettes, beautiful still lifes of everyday rundown objects, beautified by composition and light. Lachowski says each is comprised of a very deliberate composition; these shots are not by chance, but the result of thoughtful details delivered as casual glances around his house.
The aforementioned "Marshmallow" series came about following a photo shoot Lachowski did for Surface magazine (he was a contest finalist for a series he submitted to Surface in 2002 and his work was shown in a gala opening by the magazine in New York). He has created a book from the work and has other plans for a project as well, he says, though he's still working on the concept.
While it might seem an unlikely pairing, the exhibit provides an intriguing look at contemporary artists whose realness and talent are overflowing. Don't miss it.

Belfast model Samantha's anorexia got so bad she was living on six apples a day
A model and mother-of-two has spoken of her lifelong battle with anorexia.
Samantha Reynolds (23) has been struggling with an eating disorder for almost as long as she can remember, starting in primary school.
As a teenager, she often lived off a diet of just six apples a day and went to great lengths to conceal her size 6 frame.
Despite her ongoing battle, Samantha, from Belfast, has launched a campaign to raise awareness of the potentially deadly eating disorder.
She joined forces with local charity Caring About Recovery from Eating Disorders, and has shared her story in an attempt to help others suffering from the disorder.
The beauty therapist, who specialises in commercial fashion, called for more education for children and said that "not enough was being done" to address the issue in adolescents.
The striking model explained how everything started when she was 10 years old and her older sister went on a diet.
"Something in my head triggered one day saying, 'You're not going to be skinnier or prettier than me', and ever since then it's been like that," she said.
While she was in P6, Samantha cut back on her lunch, eating only a ham sandwich and water, and became more active after school in an attempt to lose weight.
"When I reached secondary school it became worse," she said. Mum would leave for work before I left for school, so I would get a bowl and put some milk and cereal in it to make it look like I had eaten.
"I'd also throw away my lunch and then say I was having dinner at a friend's house.
"In school, I was called celery Sam as that was the only thing I would eat for my lunch.
"I started to faint a lot in school, and a couple of times they had to get an ambulance out to bring me to hospital.
"Then my mum found my lunches in my bag and took me to the doctor. They said I was borderline anorexic but that I wasn't underweight enough."
Samantha's struggle with food continued into her late teens. When she met her partner, they decided to have a baby, but she miscarried several times because she was so thin.
After the birth of her first child, Mea, things started to improve for the model. However, her battle with food again spiralled out of control, and in a plea for help she asked to be referred back to an eating disorder clinic. However, she was once again told that she was not thin enough.
"I lost more weight and even when I was 20 weeks' pregnant with William (her son), you could still see my ribs.
"It's a constant battle with yourself. It's like two voices and the bad one is overpowering.
"There's a stronger voice saying, 'You're ugly and fat and shouldn't be eating this'.
"At times, I would have eaten just six apples every day. I was size 6 but wore size 12 clothes."
Samantha admitted that while she is not yet fully recovered, she now eats better for the sake of her children.
She added: "If I don't eat breakfast, my daughter won't eat. I'm trying to get better for them. I can't physically eat three meals a day, and I have to force myself to eat every day.
"How we treat people with eating disorders needs to improve. If my treatment eased me in with meals and they looked at why I was afraid of food, instead of making me three meals a day, it may have turned out differently.
"I know how lonely and isolating it can be to suffer in silence, and I have seen how it can tear families apart and ruin lives."

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 179437
mount -o remount,loop,context=... does not work
Last modified: 2008-08-02 19:40:32 EDT
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Description of problem:
Using the remount option with selinux context setting doesn't work.
'mount' reports that the mountpoint has the context, but I still
get selinux 'deny's.
I was also using the 'loop' option, I have not yet tested whether
this affects things at all.
Using umount then mount does work.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
How reproducible:
Steps to Reproduce:
1.mount a (loop) file system, then use a targeted subsystem, e.g. apache to
access and observe expected avc denies in /var/log/audit/audit.log
2. mount -o remount,loop,context=.... and observe the same avc denies again.
Actual Results: avc denys in /var/log/audit/audit.log
Expected Results: access should be permitted
Additional info:
can workaround with umount/mount -o loop,context=....
*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 186915 ***
Oops, I'm not sure if FC4 kernel really supports the "context" mount option. Can
anyone confirm it? The bug #186915 is against FC5. (Sorry for previous close as
I've used "fscontext" (not "context") in FC4 and that worked for me.
Hwoever, the context was only applied in-kernel and not available to userland,
so an "ls -lZ" of the mounted fs didn't show the context, unlike in FC5.
[This comment added as part of a mass-update to all open FC4 kernel bugs]
FC4 has now transitioned to the Fedora legacy project, which will continue to
release security related updates for the kernel. As this bug is not security
related, it is unlikely to be fixed in an update for FC4, and has been migrated
to FC5.
Please retest with Fedora Core 5.
Thank you.
A new kernel update has been released (Version: 2.6.18-1.2200.fc5)
based upon a new upstream kernel release.
Please retest against this new kernel, as a large number of patches
go into each upstream release, possibly including changes that
may address this problem.
This bug has been placed in NEEDINFO state.
Due to the large volume of inactive bugs in bugzilla, if this bug is
still in this state in two weeks time, it will be closed.
Should this bug still be relevant after this period, the reporter
can reopen the bug at any time. Any other users on the Cc: list
of this bug can request that the bug be reopened by adding a
comment to the bug.
In the last few updates, some users upgrading from FC4->FC5
have reported that installing a kernel update has left their
systems unbootable. If you have been affected by this problem
please check you only have one version of device-mapper & lvm2
installed. See bug 207474 for further details.
If this bug is a problem preventing you from installing the
release this version is filed against, please see bug 169613.
If this bug has been fixed, but you are now experiencing a different
problem, please file a separate bug for the new problem.
Thank you.
I can no longer test this because mount -o ...,remount, seems
to not like the context or fscontext options.
# mount | grep /mnt/l
/tmp/bug179437 on /mnt/l type ext3 (rw)
# mount -o loop,remount,rw /tmp/bug179437
# mount -o loop,remount,rw,context=system_u:object_r:etc_t \
mount: /mnt/l not mounted already, or bad option
In that sense it's fixed I guess, but it would be nice to
have a more explicit message about which option was 'bad'
adding some SELinux folks to the CC. Maybe they know more than I do about
whether or not this is supposed to work or not.
remounting with context= does not work (you really don't want it to anyway, due
to revocation issues).

The huge fall-out from the credit crunch has dominated First Minister's Questions for three weeks on the proposed merger of HBOS with Lloyds TSB. Obviously the two banks have branches here in Dingwall, for how long? Our EET committee questioned representatives of the financial services and house builders. Meanwhile various solutions to save HBOS jobs and indeed the very substance of our oldest Scottish bank fill the airwaves.
Poignantly I picked out a copy of the Bank of Scotland's history in the new Dingwall library at the Academy. It celebrated three hundred years of service since 1695. The copy was inscribed by the members of staff in the Dingwall branch. How much longer will they serve us as a proud and independent high street bank?
Alex Salmond's call for greater regulation of financial transactions is welcome. I note that these disappeared almost entirely during the reign of Gordon Brown as Chancellor and PM. I also note that the eighteen year trade cycle has once again brought misery to many without Brown or the USA addressing the issue. Yet many of our neighbours such as France and Germany have much tighter banking regulation and have no such huge crisis in their economies.
SCOTTISH Parliamentary business is brisk. I sit on two committees with overlapping remits that involves extra seminars on energy and climate change. We are pursuing a detailed energy enquiry and preparing for the Climate Change bill expected in December.
That's the staple diet of committee work. Also a hectic series of chamber debates affect us in Ross-shire. I spoke on the Government Future Programme on our first day back citing the importance of the North in contributing to our clean energy targets. The following week it was our Ferry Enquiry. We scrutinised Less Favoured Areas to seek a way forward for our livestock sector and vibrant communities in tough financial times. The next day I had to sum up for the Economy, Energy and Tourism [EET] committee as to whether we can grow our tourism income by 50% in the next seven years. All go!
A FORTNIGHT ago I attended a Highland Health Summit in Inverness Townhouse. Ideas for our public health were debated. MSPs, NHS, the police, prisons and Highland Council officers pitched in. Staff credit unions were suggested, credit crunch well in mind. Other suggested that volunteering even for an hour a month would be health promoting. A strong lobby sought the targeting of families with lower health prospects who often came to the attention of schools, doctors, social work, the courts etc.
My suggestion was that everyone should be given the opportunity to grow some of their own food. We heard that prisoners take pride in the cabbages they grow in Porterfield. Medics were intrigued at the idea of families having a few square metres of deep beds or allotments. Then I was delighted to read in The Herald Magazine that Monty Don is back to health. The former presenter of BBC Gardener's World believes that the Scottish Government first national food and drink plan is in stark contrast to the UK Government's lack of concern for home production. He envisages a national network of local communities sharing seed, knowledge, time and elbow grease, and believes he has enough of the common touch to persuade people to do it.
