Appeal of art sale lawsuit 'frivolous,' museum attorney says
Editor's note: This story was updated Aug. 20 to clarify who will appear before the Massachusetts Appeals Court on behalf of Attorney General Maura Healey and to add the office's reason for opposing the appeal.
PITTSFIELD — A Berkshire Museum lawyer wants three justices to dismiss the only remaining legal challenge to its ongoing art sales.
The judicial big dog has spoken, the museum's lawyer says in effect.
On April 5, a Supreme Judicial Court decision authorized the museum to raise up to $55 million by selling works from its collection after a single justice agreed with Attorney General Maura Healey that the institution faced an otherwise insurmountable financial crisis.
Opponents of the sales continue to question that, saying the museum's hand was not forced.
In a letter Wednesday to the Massachusetts Appeals Court, attorney Mark C. Fleming said the SJC ruling undercuts the remaining legal challenge. It is being pursued by three Lenox residents who tried unsuccessfully to stop art sales through a lawsuit at the superior court level, then sought redress in a December filing with the appeals court.
Their lawsuit, filed in the Business Litigation Session of Suffolk Superior Court, argued that, as members of the museum, they held a right to participate in its management.
The appeals case is scheduled to be heard at 9:30 a.m. Sept. 4 in the John Adams Courthouse in Boston.
But Fleming's letter asks the justices handling it to see the appeal as no longer relevant.
The ruling by Justice David A. Lowy, Fleming wrote, "forecloses and moots [the] Appellants' claim that the sale of objects violates the Museum's governing statute or other obligations."
"The SJC's decision makes plain that this appeal is wholly insubstantial and frivolous," wrote Fleming, an attorney with the Boston firm WilmerHale. "The SJC confirmed the Attorney General's `exclusive province to ensure that a charitable trust established for the benefit of the public is properly administered.' "
The filing of the letter comes after the briefing period had closed for the case.
Attorney Nicholas O'Donnell, who represents James and Kristin Hatt and Elizabeth Weinberg, all of Lenox, replied Thursday with a letter to the appeals court.
He called the museum's letter "defective," "out of order" and said it should be "stricken from the docket" as the court moves to hear arguments as planned.
"It presents no cognizable basis to dismiss a fully-briefed case that is scheduled for argument in less than three weeks," O'Donnell said of Fleming's letter. "The Trustees' desperation to avoid scrutiny for their mismanagement may be understandable, but it is no excuse to deprive the Member Plaintiffs of their case."
O'Donnell wrote that while the art sales were the clearest example of what his clients saw as the museum's breach of contract with its members, that wasn't the only reason for their lawsuit.
"The sale of the works already auctioned cannot be enjoined, but everything else about the case remains in play," he wrote. "This is a case of ongoing and tremendous public importance ."
In an interview this week, O'Donnell said his clients' lawsuit remains valid.
"The claim that it brings is the rights of members to participate in the governance of the nonprofits in which they are members," he said. "It's a point not mooted by the sales."
The appeal seeks to overturn Berkshire Superior Court Judge John Agostini's Nov. 7 finding that the plaintiffs lacked standing to bring their complaint.
The court plans to allow 15-minute arguments on both sides.
Healey's office, in a letter to the court Aug. 10, said that Courtney Aladro, head of its charities division, will use five minutes of the museum's alloted time to appear. An earlier docket listing said that Adam Hornstine, an assistant attorney general, was expected to represent the office.
"The AGO has a substantial interest in this appeal because it has exclusive standing to see to the due application of charitable assets," says the letter, signed by Aladro and Hornstine. According to state law, they write, "The Attorney General has the duty to 'enforce the due application of funds given or appropriated to public charities within the commonwealth and prevent breaches of trust in the administration thereof.' Accordingly, Plaintiffs' claims – and the outcome of this appeal – implicate the AGO's exclusive standing in this subject matter."
The case will be heard by Justices Diana Maldonado, Gregory I. Massing and Eric Neyman.
The museum has so far netted $47 million from art sales in April and May. A second batch of works is being marketed. The museum declined a request by The Eagle to provide an update on the status of those transactions.
In his letter to the clerk of the appeals court, Fleming said the museum "is in the process of completing the sale" of those additional works.
He also wrote that his firm asked O'Donnell to drop the appeal, but learned Tuesday that he would not.
Fleming's letter closes: "The Superior Court was right to dismiss this case, and this Court should do likewise."

Have you ever heard of adult laser tag?
Get your mind out of the gutter, it isn't like that. It's exactly what it says it is, a game of laser tag for adults. Laser tag is so much fun, and who says only kids can have fun?
If you're in the market for a corporate team building event, this game might not be the first thing that comes to your mind. However, there are plenty of great reasons why a rousing evening of laser tag is a fantastic option you should consider.
Let's look at four of them here.
1. Communication Skills
Communication is an extremely important part of the business world. Without it, it would be impossible to get anything done, especially anything that requires a team effort.
Unfortunately, communication doesn't always come easily to everyone. Thus, a big part of corporate team building events is helping facilitate better communication among employees.
When your employees are strategizing about how to decimate the other team, they're learning to communicate. It's a more fun and effective way to facilitate communication than just talking about it in a boardroom over donuts and coffee.
2. Learn about Each Other
Most of your employees probably don't know each other outside of work. People act differently in a professional environment.
Getting out and playing laser tag together gives them a chance to let their hair down and be themselves. You may find that your employees learn more about each other in one night of laser tag than in months of working together.
3. Have Fun Together
What's the best way to ignite camaraderie and get a group of people talking and working together? Having fun!
If you've never played a game of laser tag, let us assure you that everyone will have fun. And it won't last for just the day of the event either.
Employees will be chatting for weeks around the water cooler about events that happen during laser tag. Remember when Harry got the drop on Linda? Or what about when Candace found that lookout and decimated half the other team in one fell blow?
4. Stress Relief
Employees are more stressed than ever at work. It's so prevalent that some have even called stress the business world's silent killer.
What if you could reduce every employee's level of stress in one fell swoop? Imagine what that would do for your company's productivity levels!
You can with a few rounds of adult laser tag.
Exercise is known to be a great defense against stress. Laser tag gives everybody the chance to get up and moving – yet, it doesn't require a high level of fitness, so everyone can participate.
Laughter is another good way to reduce stress and frustration. Believe us when we say you'll be hearing plenty of that during the event!
Adult Laser Tag: Not Your Average Corporate Event
Why not try something different rather than settle for a boring, routine corporate event? Adult laser tag provides many excellent benefits that are long-lasting and will improve your work environment.

JOEY LOGANO, No. 22 Shell Pennzoil Ford Mustang: QUALIFIED 1st
"The car went where I told it to go, that was good. We will see. The car has speed in it, that is a good thing. Hopefully it drivers good in the draft. It was pretty good in practice yesterday so I think we will be alright. Getting the pole is really cool."
IS THERE EXTRA PRESSURE HAVING TO WATCH THAT PYLON AFTER EVER CAR GOES? "It just brings back the old days of when I first started racing. You run a lap and then you just cross your fingers and hope. You watch the TV and the tracker and it makes it fun. It is interesting for the fans I think. It has definitely changed the game a little bit, for sure."
HOW IMPORTANT IS GETTING THAT FIRST PIT STALL? "There will be times I am sure strategy will change things up. There will be two-tires, four-tires, no-tires and everything will get mixed up at some point but I think being in that first pit stall is going to lessen that risk of getting back there and getting stuck. If you can kind of keep yourself up there I think it will be important for tomorrow's race."
ON THE LAP ITSELF, WAS THE LINE AND EVERYTHING INTENTIONAL? "That was all luck (laughing). Of course it is planned. I drive the car. It doesn't drive itself. At least it went where I told it to go. That part really helped me a lot. It helps a lot when it does that."
IS THIS GOING TO BE A SIMILAR MINDSET IN TERMS OF THE CARS BEING PACKED TOGETHER AS DAYTONA AND TALLADEGA OR MORE LIKE KANSAS? "No, it is not going to be like Daytona and Talladega. Those tracks are so easy wide open in dirty air that the draft works throughout the whole race track. There is some times that you can follow a car right behind them here and still be pretty much wide open but you have to be one of the first two to four cars to be able to do that. So when you get back in the pack, the more handling is going to mean and that is when you have to approach it more like a race you would at Kansas and be smart about what lines you pick and where you are trying to make passes. It is a lot to think about. Even Pocono lost week. We single filed out pretty quick but those first two laps you had to be so aware of what was going on around you and looking a lap ahead and not necessarily just the corner in front of you, you had to be thinking really far down the road of what was going to happen and the consequences of making each move. You have to be thinking about a lot. Mentally it is tough racing as I have been a part of since the beginning of my career, from a mental side. The cars handle better than ever but when you get in dirty air they are very unpredictable and the runs that are formed by other cars is a direction that I go to study now compared to what I used to study. I chance a lot of what I work on as a driver and what I look for in my race car has changed a lot and it keeps changing every week. I have picked the wrong road a few times already. Hopefully we pick the right road this weekend to go down and we can make some moves on the race track. It is just different types of racing than we have seen in the past. You won't see three or four wide packs for very long. You will see three and four wide for sure but it will get to the point where cars will be looking for clean air in the corners. You won't see many cars following each other into the corner unless it is on the bottom."
QUESTION INAUDIBLE: "You just have to ponder if you are going to try to pass someone on the bottom and don't clear them you are in trouble. You have to think about where the cars are, three or four cars ahead of you, the amount of time it is going to take to pass that car in front of you. Are you going to lose touch with those cars and you won't be able to catch back up to them? Those are things you have to think about. What is your gap behind you? What is the risk you are taking by trying to make a pass? It is changing all the time and you don't have time to think about it so you kind of just have to be aware of the situation and then make the decision. By the time you think about it, you are done. You have to go but you have to be aware of what you are doing before you make that decision and that is what is making it so challenging. You have to make the decision one way or the other and you have to live with the consequences immediately. That is how it works."
HOW DID THE QUALIFYING LAP THIS YEAR COMPARE TO LAST YEAR? DOES IT REALLY FEEL SLOWER TO YOU? "Yeah, it is slower for sure. We used to be hauling the mail around here in qualifying and you would get the shakes afterward. Today was more about precision and making sure you hit the line with what you are looking for and hitting your shift points and gaining as much speed as you can up to speed and then just doing what your game plan was before you got out there and maximizing that. In qualifying now it is always about the car and driver together but it might be geared a little more toward the car on these big tracks like this where you are wide open all the way around. There is only so much I can do. There are some things I can do to make it better but I can't make up for much if something goes wrong. In the race is when the drivers really earn their paychecks on that side for sure."
ARIC ALMIROLA, No. 10 Smithfield/Meijer Ford Mustang: QUALIFIED 2nd
"Close but no cigar. What is that old saying, close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades? That is the sixth front row for our team this year, the 10 team, and only one pole. That is frustrating to get that close to getting a pole that often and only have one pole. We seem to always get beat just by a little bit by somebody different every time. That is part of it. I feel like our car is really fast. We have a really fast Smithfield Ford Mustang. All the Fords are really fast. I think eight of the 10 are Ford. This is definitely Ford country and we are excited to go try and get a Ford to victory lane. Edesl told us the other night that there have been like 99 Cup races here and between Ford and Mercury we have 49 of them. We are trying to add one more and get 50."
KEVIN HARVICK, No. 4 Busch Light Ford Mustang: QUALIFIED 3rd
"It is definitely a lot slower than it has been in the past. We did this last year in the Xfinity race. This is one of the places where the speed was creeping in a lot higher than it needed to be. I think it will be an interesting race. The cars are driving better and drafting better than I thought they would. It should be fun to watch tomorrow."
WHAT DID YOU FIND OUT IN PRACTICE YESTERDAY? "We were fortunate to be able to pass a lot of cars yesterday in practice. Our car had a lot of speed and I feel good about it. That was my main concern, what would the car do when you were underneath people. We were on both sides of the fence yesterday with how the car handled and the things that it would and wouldn't do. I was pretty happy with it."
CLINT BOWYER, No. 14 Haas Automation/ITsavvy Ford Mustang: QUALIFIED 5th
WHAT DID YOU LEARN ABOUT YOUR CAR IN PRACTICE YESTERDAY? "It is fast baby! It has a blue oval on the front of it. I think that Ford is going to go a long way today. I think the Fords are fast. I think the Mustang has a good chance of sitting on the pole. I think Ford is going to sit on the pole and this will be Ford day right here."
BRAD KESELOWSKI, No. 2 Miller Lite Ford Mustang: QUALIFIED 8th
"I am not exactly sure what to expect out of the race but I am happy to have a solid qualifying run and I am hopeful that it will pay off with a great race and we can get our first win here in Michigan. It is a lot of pressure to come out here. We have a great team and great cars and we just have to put it all together."
WITH PASSING AT A PREMIUM, HOW IMPORTANT IS YOUR TOP-10 STARTING SPOT? "Well, it isn't quite as high as I would like it to be but the higher it is the better it is for sure."
WHAT DID YOU LEARN IN PRACTICE YESTERDAY? "We were decent and it seemed like it is going to be super hard to pass. We just have to be really, really, really patient tomorrow."
DANIEL SUAREZ, No. 41 Haas Automation Demo Day Ford Mustang: QUALIFIED 9th
"I felt like practice yesterday was extremely productive. It may have been the first time ever I didn't do a lap just by myself. Well, I did one lap in Q trim. Everything else was in traffic and trying to figure out what the car was going to do in traffic. I am pretty happy with the car. I don't feel like there is one driver out there that is extremely happy with it. Everyone has their struggles. That is just part of it. It is our first time here with this package and we are trying to work with it."
HOW IMPORTANT IS A GOOD QUALIFYING SPOT HERE? "Track position is huge. I think that having any kind of penalty and having to go to the back, it will take a long time to come back, if you do come back. The draft and how drivers are extremely aggressive these days is going to be interesting. We will see. We will see how it plays out. My Mustang was fast yesterday in the qualifying run that we did and hopefully we can do another strong one."
RICKY STENHOUSE JR., No. 17 NOS Energy Ford Mustang: QUALIFIED 10th
"From where we were in practice yesterday when we did our qualifying run we picked up a lot of speed today and made some adjustments. I felt good about that. We qualified better than I thought we were going to. We are within striking distance it looks like on lap times, which is good. Within a tenth is pretty solid. Yesterday we were pretty far off. They made really good adjustments to our NOS Energy Drink Ford and hopefully it will drive good. We didn't drive very good yesterday in practice and I was having to lift more than I wanted to and also didn't have the speed. Everything was bad for us in practice at the end of the day yesterday. Our very first run of practice I felt confident about it and then we kind of got worse and worse. It was good to qualifying 10th today."
RYAN BLANEY, No. 12 Menards/Wrangler Riggs Ford Mustang: QUALIFIED 13th
"You come to these places and everyone has certain builds and different builds you try when you come to new race tracks like this. You try to balance out the drag versus handling. If you want less drag you will handle worse. There are a lot of people back and forth on that. You hope you hit it right, get the combination right. Some cars qualify great and don't race good. We have always been on the not qualifying great side and racing really well. You just hope you get it right. There is only one way to find out. I thought we were pretty decent yesterday. You never really know until you get into the race."
RYAN NEWMAN, No. 6 Coca Cola Ford Mustang: QUALIFIED 18th
"It is what it is. That is the speed that the car has in it for what we need and what we think we need for the race. I am proud to have Coca Cola on our Ford this weekend. We did the best we can for the race but it is going to be interesting to see how it all races."

The recent events surrounding the murder of the Saudi born (New York Times)journalist Jamal Kashoggi have been unprecedented. The actual murder, in its brazenness and brutality, was bad enough; but what's subsequently transpired really sets the benchmark. Here in Britain you'd expect our political class to be lining up in their droves to condemn the murder given how much they profess to uphold human rights and the rule of law. But senior politicians have been unwilling to commit themselves to making any substantive statements regarding the matter. Our American friends across the water were even offering Mohamed bin Salman an alibi – before even knowing many of the facts.
The silence from the British political establishment is deafening, just at the time when the whole world was shocked by the savagery of Kashoggi's murder. You'd expect silence from the 38 MP's on the Saudi payroll(with this I mean MP's who've been in receipt of thousands of pounds worth of free gifts from the Saudi government), which obviously buys Mohamed bin Salman and his regime a favourable sentiment in the chambers of Parliament. The other significant contractual arrangements Britain has with Saudi Arabia is the billions of pounds worth of arms deals which no-one in the Conservative government dares jeopardise. These weapons are being used for the so called War in Yemen. I use the term War loosely as paying mercenaries to do your fighting for you and indiscriminately targeting the civilian population can hardly be classified as fighting a war in its traditional sense. The other curious thing is that there's hardly any coverage about this so called war in the mainstream media. The dire state of the Houthi population in Yemen and the whole state of affairs brought about by the Saudi regime is more akin to the genocide of a whole ethnic group. The criminality with which the Saudi regime has pursued its agenda in Yemen is staggering; not only specifically targeting civilians but the basic infrastructure which sustains them.
Whilst this genocide in Yemen has been ongoing, the political establishment has simply turned a blind eye to it – aided by the mainstream media removing it from the agenda. On the Kashoggi execution our politicians have said virtually nothing, maintaining they are waiting for an investigation to conclude. And look whose popped up to do the investigation – the prime suspect of course, the Clown Prince himself Mohamed bin Salman. Here in Britain the political class are probably hoping the whole thing will blow over as quickly as a disgraced MP re-enters the revolving door to be handed a position in government. The political establishment's silent and non-committal stance on the Kashoggi execution speaks volumes and marks a shift in how much the British government has drifted from whatever principles or values it once had, to enter a new era where pragmatism steers the political ship. These same politicians, whose job you'd have thought would be to offer some guidance to the rest of society, given to brutality of the Kashoggi execution, have chosen to keep quiet and sit on the fence. I sincerely hope this financially pragmatic precedent and complete disregard for human life demonstrated by the government of our day never takes root in wider society, as such a society would not have any realistic future.
Can you spot the difference between these two clowns? Both are psychopaths who murder children. One on the right is John Wayne Gacey from Illinois convicted for murdering 33 children, in order to meet his victims he would dress as a clown and entertain them. The other is Mohamed bin Salman who doesn't need to dress as a clown as his actions speak for themselves. Known as the Clown Prince of Saudi Arabia his crimes include targeting a whole ethnic group of people by indiscriminate bombing and depriving them from accessing the basic necessities to survive. It's not known how many children he's killed so far but estimates are in the hundreds of thousands.

Cash-Mojo is one of the numerous loan matching services. They state to help their users no matter on their credit score or financial situation. These websites assure to put site visitors in touch with lenders who are prepared to offer short-terms loans. And moreover, the conditions are incredibly easy to meet.
About Cash-Mojo
In comparison to other similar sites, Cash-Mojo.com supplies the service it advertises. Lots of the businesses that own loan matching services are just enthusiastic about collecting private information, but it doesn't seem to be the circumstance here.
Owned or operated by Panamerican Capital Advisors, a firm which appears to be located in California, it's unclear when Cash-Mojo has been founded, but it would appear that the service became offered by least a couple of years ago.
Cash-Mojo is also quite popular, so immediately, we know that it is not a rip-off. As you'll all see in the next sections, the clients have some known reasons for complaint, but those are not making the service a scam.
As all the other loan matching services do, Cash-Mojo links users with lenders predicated on online applications. Being matched up with a number of lenders doesn't ensure a successful loan, as lenders are free to re-evaluate the applications after the initial approval done by Cash-Mojo.
Each lender offers lending options predicated on their own conditions and regulations. Users shouldn't be surprised if indeed they don't have the ability to obtain financing from the lenders suggested by Cash-Mojo.
And this is truly a good thing since it shows that lenders which cope with Cash-Mojo are authentic and reputable.
A few of them are prepared to supply up to $35,000, however the website states that it is very hard for users to be eligible for such a high amount, at their first loans.
A bad credit score won't stop clients from being able to access a short-term financing, but the conditions they must meet for being approved are a lot more thorough.
There can't be revealed a gross annual interest rate since it is different from lender to lender, but Cash-Mojo.com makes it clear that it can vary from 260.71% to 1825.00%.
These numbers seem to be really high, even though they are much more lower than the interest rates demanded by other short-term lenders.
Relating to the Cash-Mojo's recommendations, users will be initially approved for financing if they're hired, if they have a regular monthly income of more than $2,000, and if they own a bank account.
However, Cash-Mojo also work with companies that offer financing to people that have around $1,000 in monthly income. Credit history is really important, too, so the ones with good credit score will gain access to loans easier, but again, poor credit score are accepted in most cases.
How does Cash-Mojo work?
Cash-Mojo fits users with lenders based mostly exclusively on online applications. Cash-Mojo will not ask users for nothing more than filling the online forms, however lenders might demand extra documents, in which particular case the clients must fax or email them.
The complete process occurs online, and it grants that the customers will be able to access their loans in less than 24 hours. Following the application is completed, the users' applications set will be delivered to lenders in only a couple of seconds. From now and then, it will depend on how quick the lender responds, because the agreement can be done in a couple of minutes.
The application form itself is super easy to complete, and it's really accessible from the Cash-Mojo home page. Nonetheless it requires very private information, including the social security number.
In fact, the first digits of the SSN need to be entered directly on the starting page of the application form. This is unconventional for financing matching services, but it allows users know just what kind of information will be needed.
Cash-Mojo.com – Pros
A number of the users of Cash-Mojo are incredibly content with the service – It appears that those who have the ability to access lending options received the sums as fast as it's advertised.
The lenders are incredibly professional, just like promised.
Cash-Mojo does indeed what it's advertised to do, which is most likely why it's popular.
Cash-Mojo.com – Cons
Negative reviews result from users who couldn't find out a match with any lender or who have been pre-approved for sums which were smaller than expected.
For a few clients getting a lender is more challenging than imagined – Being pre-approved doesn't ensure access to that loan, and frequently clients has to consult with more lenders.
Some clients get unwanted email messages – That is to be likely considering that Cash-Mojo shares private information with third parties, and they admit it in their Privacy Policy.
Bottom line on Cash-Mojo.com
Cash-Mojo.com can be considered a great option for those enthusiastic about short-term loans, however, not so much for many who value their personal privacy.
The Cash-Mojo.com website will indeed put users in touch with lenders that fit their preferences, but it gathers and stocks all the private details inserted in the applications forms.
In conclusion, Cash-Mojo.com is legit, but since it will put clients in touch with short-terms lenders caution is required because these short-term loans are really costly.

Talk:OPS235 Lab 4 - Fedora17
- 1 State when starting Lab 4
- 2 Recommendations for the revised Lab 4
- 2.1 LVMs
- 2.2 Package Management
- 2.3 User/Group Management
State when starting Lab 4
When the students are done lab 3, they should have:
- fedora1
This VM has a GUI and no free space in the VG. VG #PV #LV #SN Attr VSize VFree vg_fedora1 1 2 0 wz--n- 9.80G 0 LV VG Attr LSize lv_root vg_fedora1 -wi-ao 8.83G lv_swap vg_fedora1 -wi-ao 992.00M PV VG Fmt Attr PSize PFree /dev/vda2 vg_fedora1 lvm2 a- 9.80G 0

- host (disk pack)
Four PVs, minimum VG size 60G Single filesystem on vg_main/root, size 50G At least 10G available space in VG 20% of disk space unallocated (min 15G)
Recommendations for the revised Lab 4
- Start with the GUI tool, which may help them visualize what is happening.
- Continue with performing exactly the same operations on another VM using command-line tools.
- Next, the will add a second virtual disk to a VM and migrate /home to its own filesystem.
- On the real system (disk pack), they will add a partition as a PV and grow the root filesystem (minimal risk).
They will then migrate a VM from its original virtual disk to a new, slightly larger virtual disk.- Dropped because (a) it will take too long (close to an hour because the source and target are on the same physical drive) and (b) setting up grub on virtio drives is complex.
Investigation 1: How are LVMs managed using system-config-lvm?
- On fedora2, perform some LVM operations using the system-config-lvm graphical tool:
- Determine the current LVM configuration.
- Grow the home filesystem to 2G
- Create a new 2G LV containing an ext4 filesystem named lv_archive and mount it at /archive
- Backup /etc into /archive
- Shrink lv_archive to 1G
- Try shrinking / and observe that it is not permitted
Investigation 2: How are LVMs managed from the command line?
- Repeat the operations from Investigation 1, using fedora3 (command-line tools only):
- Determine the current LVM configuration.
- Grow the home filesystem to 2G (lvextend, resize2fs)
- Create a new 2G LV containing an ext4 filesystem and mount it at /archive (lvcreate, mkfs, mount, edit fstab, reboot to confirm automatic mount)
- Backup /etc into /archive
- Shrink lv_archive to 1G (umount, resize2fs, lvreduce, resize2fs, mount)
- Try shrinking / and observe that it is not permitted
Investigation 3: How can a PV be added to an existing VG?
- Provision fedora1 with an additional 5G virtual disk
- Add that virtual disk to the existing volume group
- Create lv_home (1G), and migrate /home onto it (lvcreate, mkfs, mount, mv, rm, umount, edit fstab, mount)
Investigation 4: How can I use LVM to manage storage on my disk pack?
- This investigation will have less-detailed instructions -- they students should be able to apply and adapt what they learned in the first three investigations.
- On the host (disk pack):
- Create a new logical partition (minimum 5G, leaving at least 10G free space in the extended partition)
- Add that partition as a PV into the existing VG
- Grow the root filesystem to fill the available space (this will provide sufficient space for Investigation 5)
Package Management
- Keep existing content.
User/Group Management
- Keep existing content, add a requirement to create their Matrix user on fedora3 (forcing use of command-line tools).

Behind the Scenes: Developing Baseball Talent At Acceleration Baseball Center [VIDEO]
ST. CLOUD -- This week in our "Behind the Scenes" series on WJON, we warm up at the Acceleration Baseball Center and see how they develop young baseball players.
Baseball is America's favorite past time and for Augie Rodriguez he wanted a place to share his passion with young athletes.
"We're here to accommodate anyone who wants to get better at baseball or softball," says Rodriguez.
Through a collaborative effort of Rodriguez, Gary Posch and Joe Sexton (owners of the St. Cloud Rox) and Rachel Larson, they started up the facility so young ball players had a place to practice during the offseason.
"The idea came up by seeing all the snow over the winter and saying we needed a place for young men and women to hit," says Rodriguez.
The Acceleration Baseball Center is at 20 McLeland Road in St. Cloud, and provides a year round facility where athletes can go to enhance their skills.
The facility offers coaching in nine aspects of the game from meeting rooms, workout facility, speed and agility, hitting and pitching.
"We have nine batting cages with pitching pockets that helps a pitcher to have several opportunities to throw a ball in a square and work on accuracy," says Rodriguez.
He says they also plan to host after school programs to help young athletes grow on and off the field.
"Your goal has to be successful and sometimes getting that degree helps you get a little more push in life," says Rodriguez.
Rodriguez says he hopes the facility will grow the passion he has for the game with other in Central Minnesota.
"That's what my dream is, for every kid to fall in love with the sport and if they choose the sport of baseball or softball, what they learn here will pay off in the future," says Rodriguez.
Acceleration Baseball Center will be open Monday through Friday 4:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and hopes to be fully operational by October.

Cross Cut vs. Strip Cut Paper Shredders On A Mechanical LevelTuesday, January 4th, 2011
As you probably already know, strip cut shredders cut paper into tiny strips of paper and cross cut shredders cut paper into tiny particles of paper. While it may be as simple as placing paper in a machine and pressing a button, there is a lot going on under the hood. There is a lot of sophistication in your shredder's blade. I'll go into more detail.
To begin with, a strip cut paper shredder blade is far less sophisticated than a cross cut shredder blade. This should come as no surprise as much less cutting is involved. Strip cut paper shredder blades usually consist of a few perforated or sharpened wheels that sit across a shaft. A lot of strip cut shredders have pretty flimsy cutting blades.
A cross cut shredder blade involves a lot tougher, heavier-duty and thicker cutting blade. There are a lot more moving parts in a cross cut shredder head than there are in a strip cut shredder head. Cross cut shredder heads, in my opinion, are far tougher than strip cut shredder heads.
Today I grabbed a digital camera to show you the visual difference between a strip cut and a cross cut shredder head. My back is now covered in shredded paper (from laying down), but I think it is worth the sacrifice. These pictures are taken from the underside of the shredder head.
The first picture I am showing you is the shredder head of a Rexel 1250 S2 strip cut paper shredder.
This second picture is of the shredder head on a Destroyit 2604 CC.
Do you notice the difference in sophistication between the two shredders? Pretty neat.
Strip cut shredders rarely need to be oiled. There just aren't as many moving parts as there are in a cross cut shredder blade. A cross cut shredder has a lot of moving parts and involves a lot of friction. I personally recommend oiling a cross cut shredder every time you empty the bag. This should help the cross cut shredder last for years. You can find our shredder oil here.
Is your shredder head damaged, nicked, dull or in desperate need of repair? Contact our Service Department. They are often able to find you replacement parts for Destroyit, Martin Yale, Intimus, Rexel, Kobra, HSM, Fellowes, Olympia, Dahle, Formax and many other brands of shredders. Our Service Department can even swap out old shredder blades and replace them with new blades, giving your shredder a new lease on life.
We also offer a huge selection of brand new paper shredders from reputable brands. If a shredder is junk, we simply won't include it on our site. You can find our entire line of new paper shredders here. Questions? Call our experts at 1-800-658-8788.

Introduction: My Really Neat Cast
Well, I broke my foot a couple of days ago, (nothing too serious, only a chip in the 5th metatarsal) and the black cast I got was really kinda boring. I go to my mom, because she's a pretty good artist, and she makes it look like my favorite brand of shoe, Converse. the laces are right off my shoe that I can't wear because the cast is in the way, and the holes are washers hot-glued to the cast. The rest is just acrylic paint and Sharpie on the patch.

Haha, very clever. :p
great idea i wish i saw this when my leg was broken buy the way sweet job on the guitar! = )
Nice work on the cast. I broke my 5th metatarsal last year at the end of Sept. and it was absolutely no fun. Hopefully you are fully recovered. Thanks for your comment on my first instructable as well.
Very cool I tore my Achilles years ago and spent 8 months in a cast , a very boring cast .....
Ow!! that must have hurt!
Yes it was about the worse pain I have felt .I did get the kids at sons school to sign by grade k-6 on different casts while that was cool not as cool as yours yours is a fashion statement an expression of you ...take care of it and LISTEN to your doc I didn't and think that is why I was in the cast for so long
I chipped my femur right near my knee and a chunk of the bone was sticking into my MCL. That really hurt...
what if this became a style....that would be interesting.... "now available, shoe casts, never have to take off your shoe's! " they would have hannah montana and all those hooligans up there trying to get something started with a result of EPIC FAIL. but i think that the doc's who do casts for broken bones should offer this... it might encourage kids to not be so scared or embarassed of getting a cast. Mine would say iDeffend. *Lulzzzz*
Love the cast! Kudos to the The Mom! That is just awesome!
Wow this is impressive! I love converse!
I'm the dad and I think that the mom is the bomb and my boy is awesome also. I hope everyone has a great summer. See Ya
Wow! Major kudos to your mom! My mom broke her ankle in January and kept telling her I was going bling hers up. Good luck healing, just don't get too wild in Florida and bring some powder to help the itching!
brilliant design, and i hope your foot gets better soon:)
Eh, 4 more weeks, but...... I'm going to Florida in 3, so I need to get a boot, which is a removable cast type thing.
That's great! On the thumbnail pic, I couldn't even tell that it was a cast.
Thanks for the nice comments everybody!

Dry Top has some interestic mechanics, but I still find it far from a good map.
When you have access to organized t6 runs, which unlock the best merchants and provide a good amount of geodes, you easily lose interest on those random t3-t4 maps.I have no reason myself to work towards a higher tier unlock (which would be still unlikely to happen) for 40 minutes when I can have a t6 one if needed on a daily basis, so I just port to random maps before the sandstorm arrives and focus on doing the "farmeable" events (2x Dust Mites, 2x Haze, a couple of champs and maybe Skritt/Mine if I'm lucky for some extra geodes if the tier is high enough) and looking for some chests scattered around, not so different from the trains you can see in many other maps.
The thing I like the most about Dry Top is receiving part of the reward on a floating chest, so it remains the same no matter how many people were involved on the event.I have always thought that all the open world should have worked this way, so players could find any event somewhat rewarding no matter if done alone, with a couple of friends or a whole giant guild. Maybe some lootable enemies could appear upon reaching a threshold of lets say 5 people, slightly encouraging grouping up, but the big part of the reward should remain untouched.
This would work IMHO far better than the current system, where most events (and almost every single one if alone) are close to a waste of time reward wise (I've found myself running past them and suddenly stopping to gather some platinum node … this should be enough indicative of the issue) and just a few (those that scalate "properly" and, for some people, those involving champs too) deserve some player attention, and usually only if you can gather a good amount of people for them.
Even with the floating chests, however, Dry Top still suffers from this strong correlation between rewards and scaling, where some events can be easily zerged and scalated for better loot (Dust Mites, Skritts, …) while those more suited for solo or really small groups (Tendrils, Baskets, Serene, …) drop next to nothing.This is specially problematic for gw2 gold because you want these events done in order to unlock the highest tier, so technically the system expects some players to be altruistic enough and sacrifice their own loot for the common good.

Many thanks for your time, Josh.
Nice to be with you, Ross.
I should say, many thanks for your time, Treasurer. Just, let's go through the National Accounts. You would be pleased, absolutely delighted, I would imagine at the rate of economic growth in Australia today.
I think all Australians should be delighted with the news tonight because what it did show today with the National Accounts for the June quarter is that through the year real GDP growth is up 3.4 per cent, which is the fastest since 2012, which as you know was during the height of the mining boom.
It is more than any G7 country, it's far ahead of the OECD average of 2 ½ per cent per year and it was above median market expectations.
With all of that Josh, why did your political party throw out your Prime Minister last week? Because normally when you throw out a Prime Minister, the economy is not doing well and you are going to lose an election because of the under-performance of the economy and because there are no jobs being created. You've got exactly the opposite situation right now.
We have always made clear through the Prime Ministership of Tony Abbott, Malcolm Turnbull and now Scott Morrison that the Coalition has been the party to deliver record jobs growth.
We have had over 1 million jobs being created and over the last year, 330,000 new jobs have been created. The participation rate is near record levels. More women, more seniors and more younger Australians, importantly, are coming into the workforce.
So should I imply from that that the leader is actually not important in the whole scheme of things so long as the Coalition's policies are in place?
Of course the leader is important and of course the party is important and of course the philosophy is important, Ross. And the Liberal Party's philosophy is about lowering your taxes, taking government out of the lives of ordinary Australians and putting in place the nation building infrastructure that can increase people's mobility.
If that were true, you wouldn't have the disunity in your own party, which led ultimately to the leadership challenge last week.
Of course the recent weeks have been ones that we would not seek to repeat and as you know, Australian politics, whether it is a Labor or a Liberal government has seen these leadership challenges and changes.
But we have drawn a line under that and our focus is on delivering for the Australian people. They are our masters and my job is to create their jobs and that is what I will do.
Is this as good as it gets, Josh, for the Australian economy? I look down the track and I know that these numbers are looking backwards. They have been brilliant up until now.
Coming in front of us, I can see the impact of the drought that will probably hit in the next six months or so, especially when there are no crops in the ground in many parts of New South Wales and Queensland. Right now, we see farmers actually selling off stock – particularly lamb and sheep which are at record levels right now. But then that means they have got to restock into the future.
And when I look forward, I also see a slowdown in housing construction, one of the biggest employers in Australia, so therefore, consequentially, a slowdown in retail sales because when people buy new houses, they generally also buy furniture and fridges and all that type of thing. So what I would ask you is as Treasurer, do you believe this is as good as it gets?
No, I do believe we can continue the momentum. This reflects the fundamentals of the Australian economy, because what was so important about these numbers was that the growth was broadly based.
We saw increases in household consumption. We saw increases in dwelling investment. We saw increases in public final demand, which is a euphemism for government investment – like in infrastructure. And we have also seen exports continue to grow.
Sure but that is looking backwards. Now look forwards for me because you know the drought is going to have an impact, you know that the slowdown in home building ultimately is going to have an impact on the economy.
Let's take both those issues separately. Firstly the drought – you are right that it is devastating. And we have seen some evidence of de-stocking but at the same time the Government is doing everything to ensure that these people in the drought-stricken parts of Queensland and New South Wales get the support, and that the communities get the support that they need.
We are making available more loans, counselling, tax breaks – a whole series of initiatives that are designed to help them through this difficult period.
When it comes to dwelling investment, what these numbers do show was that dwelling investment expanded by about 1.7 per cent in the June quarter and 3.8 per cent higher through the year and that there is a pipeline of dwelling construction that will continue to play out.
Treasurer, one thing that really worries me about these National Accounts, good though they are, now don't get me wrong, I cannot criticise the fact that Australia's economy is growing faster than both the Government, the Budget and also the Reserve Bank had forecast…
And the rest of the world.
And indeed. So, kudos for that, but on the other side…
It's not an accident either, Ross. So, don't take this for granted. It's really important your listeners understand that governments can make a difference here, they can set the strategy and the tone and the framework which allows private sector companies to invest and to grow.
Okay, but households savings are right now at an eleven year low, so households during the aftermath of the Global Financial Crisis were saving between at eight and ten per cent of their incomes, are now saving at just one per cent of the their incomes. Their wages have been squeezed, their prices have been going up, they don't feel the wealth that the country is seeing right now and as a result of this you can see it in that household savings.
It could very well be in the future that they're biting into their income, that they're actually spending more than they're earning. That cannot be a healthy thing for Australian households or indeed for their appetite for the political climate that we have now with the government.
Well, I'll say a couple of things to that. If you actually look at the Howard years and the household saving ratio, there are actually negative numbers during that period, so even though the economy was growing strongly, people weren't saving.
Now, as you rightly point out, the saving ratio has come down dramatically from where it was at the time of the GFC. But this is actually reflecting the fact that we have record low interest rates and that the intended effect of having these record low interest rates is that people can spend with confidence.
And if you look at the household consumption numbers, Ross, they're spending on a range of areas. They're spending on recreation, on culture, on food and that is a good thing for the economy and reflects their consumer confidence.
But, at some point, you're going to have to try to find ways to get wages to grow because otherwise they're not going to be so happy when they realise they're going to have to cut into their savings to support their lifestyle.
Well, I recognise that real wages growth has been slow and the Reserve Bank put out a statement yesterday, as you know, they kept the cash rate at 1.5 per cent where it has been for some time
But in that statement they pointed to the fact unemployment will continue to come down, that they are starting to see a tighter labour market in some sectors of the economy and that as more employment comes on board then it will eat into the spare capacity in the market and that's when we'll start to see real wages grow. And that is something that the Government is working towards.
Just a final thing for you, Treasurer, that is what age do you imagine you'll be when you retire?
Well, obviously, I'll be a lot older than I am today!
I understand that, but have you got a number for me? What are you thinking? Are you thinking about, what?
Well, that would be a stab in the dark.
Go on, have a stab in the dark! How long have you got in you?
Well, put it this way. My father's a surgeon and he is working into his 70s. My mother too, who is a professional, she's a psychologist, she too continues to work hard. So, I think, it depends on the individual. I think people should be entitled to retire, provided they put their savings, as they become a senior.
But at the same time, for those who want to work, we need to create conditions where they can. And in Scott Morrison's last budget, he did make an allowance for new opportunities for people to add to their income without losing their pension.
You've got it in you to be a federal politician until you're in your 70s?
Well, certainly some people have!
But, you're not saying yourself, are you?
I'm loving the job, regardless of the portfolio, this is certainly an exciting one, Ross, and one that you know a lot about – Treasury – it's very important to the economy. I'm not thinking I'll be a Treasurer into my 60s, but I certainly hoping I can do it for some time yet.

Housing inventory dropped in February – Portland Real Estate Market Report 2019
Portland real estate market data is out for February 2019. After a surprising number of new inventories from January, the new listings dropped again in February. In January, we had 1131 new listings whereas in February, we only had 875 new listings. February normally gets more new listings than January so maybe the January number was an outlier rather than a new trend of more people selling in 2019. Maybe all that snow we received in February had something to do with it. When homes are covered in snow, realtors often recommend waiting until the snow is gone for photography. In 2018, there were 861 new listings in February and 788 in January. The number jumped to 1372 in March. Right now we're in March and although I don't get the complete data until the end of the month, I've been seeing a lot of new listings popping up in the last few days so it will be interesting to see what the March inventory will look like.
The median sold price is $412,200, which is overall down a little bit from 12 months ago. Price for detached single family homes has increased a bit from 12 months ago. The market is still cool with average days of 54 days on the market. The median is 29 days, which is down from 36 days from January. In February 2018, average days on the market was 47 with 22 median days on the market. In April 2018, that was reduced to 25 average days with 6 median days so in about two months, we will see a hot spring market slightly cooler than 2018 but still a hot market.
Mortgage rates are still down and they seem to be on a downhill trend, which is great for home buyers. The rate is currently at 4.35%, which is lower than this time of year in 2018 when the rate was 4.45% on an upward trend. The economy is slowing and that seems to be causing the rates to cool down. So long as the job market stays strong, the housing market will continue to be healthy.

Indore, December 3, 2019: Indore High Court on Monday heard different petitions concerning the Honey trap case in one of which the petitioner Harbhajan Singh had demanded prohibition on media reporting of the case whereas, through a public interest litigation, petitioner Digvijay Singh has sought court orders for CBI inquiry of the case.
Honey Trap accused have also filed an application over the leakage of seized documents. The court after hearing the petitions has reserved its order and is likely to deliver its verdict on Tuesday.
Earlier in the day, an FIR was registered against the owner of Sanjha Lokswami newspaper Jitu Soni, his son Amit Soni and others for their alleged involvement in the Indore honey trap close.
Addressing a press conference here, Senior Superintendent of Police Ruchi Vardhan Mishra said: "An FIR has been registered against Jitu Soni, his son Amit Soni, manager of 'My Home' and others under Indian Penal Code Section 370. A case also registered against them under the IT Act in connection with Indore honey trap matter."
She said 67 women and girls and 7 minor boys were rescued from 'My Home' - a bar run by Jitu Soni. "They were kept there to entice the customers and were paid only through the tips given by them," the SSP said.
Earlier this year, six persons, including five women, were arrested in connection with the case. It came to light after an Indore Municipal Corporation (IMC) engineer filed a complaint alleging that two women were blackmailing him by threatening to make some objectionable videos viral.
The scandal had rocked the state and snowballed into a political controversy.
