Deadline: Submit Your Comments on the Proposed Medicaid Rule Before Friday!
October 10, 2007
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services have issued proposed rules on the Medicaid Rehabilitation Services option. The Rehabilitation Services option is the most important funding source of services for people with mental illness such as assertive community treatment (ACT), multi-systemic therapy for children and adolescents (MST), and other important evidence-based services. NAMI is concerned that the proposed rules will have a negative impact on the ability of states to pay for these services.
Send Your Comments Today
This Friday, October 12this the deadline for submitting comments on the proposed Medicaid rule that would threaten rehabilitative services.
Follow these instructions on how to voice your concerns to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. At this link, you will find the necessary contact information, as well as sample comments. You will have the greatest impact when you share your own experiences about how these regulations will affect your family and community.

May 24, 2016
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia Department of Natural Resources officials say deer hunting season will open at the end of the week.
Officials say deer hunting season officially begins Sept. 14. Department spokeswoman Melissa Cumming says last year, more than 113,500 archers harvested nearly 60,200 deer. The hunting season ends in January.
Chief of Game Management John Bowers says heavy rain this spring and summer led to more natural foods, which should translate to an increase in deer quality.
Cummings says many public hunting grounds offer specialty hunts, including primitive weapons, adult and child hunts and ladies only hunts.
Cummings says hunters are allowed to harvest a maximum of 10 antlerless deer and two deer with antlers per season.

GM Delphi 600 Integral Power Steering Gearboxes - Cures For A Bum SteerWritten by on July 1, 2011 Contributors: Eric Geisert Modern power boxes for '50s and '60s Chevys (and maybe some others too)
While '50s and '60s Chevys were pretty good vehicles when they were factory fresh, today their shortcomings are painfully obvious. Take the steering for example. There were two choices back then. Manual steering, which had more turns lock-to-lock than the Queen Mary, provided little or no road feel, and would make anyone with the poor judgment to try parallel parking break into a sweat. Of course buyers could opt for power steering. That option still required lots of turns lock-to-lock, had even less road feel, and while it may have made parking marginally easier, the chances of the system springing a hydraulic leak were quite good.
Basically hydraulic power steering can be divided into two categories: linkage assist and integral. Both use hydraulic pressure from an engine-driven pump to reduce the effort to turn the steering wheel. Linkage assist uses a ram attached to the frame on one end and the centerlink on the other. A control valve on the end of the centerlink senses movement of the Pitman arm and directs fluid to the proper side of the ram's piston to help move the steering linkage in the appropriate direction. Among the many disadvantages to this type of system are the number of hoses and the fact that the control valve operates in a dirty, gritty environment, which can cause premature wear and leakage.
A more sophisticated power steering design is the integral type. Inside the steering gear is a piston that acts upon the ball nut, which turns the sector shaft the Pitman arm is attached to. When turns are made the twisting force on the input shaft of the steering gear causes a rotary valve to open a passageway for pressurized fluid from the pump. Turning the steering wheel to the left allows pressure to push on the piston one way; turning the steering wheel to the right pushes the piston the opposite direction—either way the effort required to turn the steering wheel is reduced.
When GM's Saginaw Division introduced the rotary valve integral power boxes in '59 Cadillac, Pontiac, Buick, and Oldsmobile cars it didn't take long for the bean counters at Chevrolet to figure out how much more expense the new steering gear was going to add to the sticker price. As a result they stuck with the inferior linkage-style power steering through 1964 to keep costs down. But while Chevrolet didn't see fit to use better steering in those days now there is an option for those who want to upgrade to a contemporary design. Borgeson has developed an integral power steering conversion for '58-64 full-size Chevys.
Borgeson now offers remanufactured GM Delphi 600 integral power steering gearboxes with the latest technology for improved road feel and feedback with a quick 14:1 ratio. These boxes are modified so they attach directly to the factory mounting location and to fit the stock Pitman arm. Steering boxes are available separately or in a complete kit that provide the pump, pump bracket, power steering pulley, universal joint, intermediate shaft, and hoses.
Thanks to Borgeson, modern power steering is affordable and installation is a simple remove-and-replace operation. It's a great way to make a '58-64 Chevy as pleasing to drive as they are to look at.
Installation Tips from Borgeson
A new universal joint and steering shaft will be required for connection to the stock column. Cars with factory power steering will require a drag link adapter or a manual center link.
All '58-64 Chevy cars with factory power steering will require PN 990007 drag link adapter to replace the control valve on the drag link.
Most '58-64 manual steering cars will require the idler arm to be rotated to match the angle of the new steering box. This is easily accomplished by removing the lower bolt from the idler arm and rotating the assembly toward the front of the car to align with the Pitman arm. Drill a new hole for the lower bolt and re-install.
The 348/409 cars may have an issue with the steering box to power steering pump clearance. Most applications will fit but will have reduced adjustability of the belt tension. In some cases the use of a remote-style power steering pump will be required.
Direct replacement ididit steering columns are available in plain steel or chrome finishes
11205800 '58 Chevy column for floor shift
11206000 '59-60 Chevy tilt column for floor shift
11206200 '61-62 Chevy tilt column for floor shift
11206700 '63-64 Chevy tilt column for floor shift
11405800 '58 Chevy tilt column for column shift
11406000 '59-60 Chevy tilt column for column shift
11406200 '61-62 Chevy tilt column for column shift
11406700 '63-64 Chevy tilt column for column shift
A few more candidates for improved steering, and there may be even more
Borgeson offers integral power steering conversions for a variety of cars, including Tri-Five Chevys, '63-82 Chevy Corvettes, '65-70 Ford Mustang, '66-77 Ford mid-sized cars, and '52-64 Ford full-size cars. And while that's a pretty respectable list there are probably a number of other cars that could benefit from a power steering update by using one of the following Borgeson boxes. If you have a candidate for such a swap, break out the tape measure and then check the dimensions of the available boxes. Such an installation will undoubtedly require a custom frame mount and column modifications but the results will certainly be worth it.
Additional installation parts available:
PN Description
013446 Universal joint for box connection 17mm DD x 3/4-inch 36-spline
409216 3/4-inch 36-spline intermediate shaft 16 inches long splined on both ends
990007 Drag link adapter for cars with factory ram-style power steering
925103 OEM-style rubber power steering hose set to connect new box to P/S pump.
800310 GM Saginaw self-contained power steering pumps available in black or chrome (part number for black listed)
801001 Power steering pulley, black steel GM two-row
802400 Power steering pump bracket for SBC/SWP many other brackets available
Power Steering Fluid
According to our friends at AMSOIL INC., power steering fluid is one of the most neglected fluids under the hood. Most of us realize that power steering systems require additional fluid occasionally but are not aware it should be changed at regular intervals. Power steering fluid has a service life, just like any other lubricating fluid. It is subject to temperature extremes and must combat contaminants while simultaneously fulfilling its role as a hydraulic fluid.

A close look reveals the sector shaft has a corresponding wide spline. The steering box sector shaft should be in the "straight ahead" position during installation.There are a variety of fittings used on power steering pumps and gearboxes; the complete kit provides the proper length hoses with the correct ends.Looking like it came from the factory the new steering box is in place along with the intermediate shaft and universal joint.For cars that were not equipped with power steering it may be necessary to add two groove pulleys to the crankshaft and water pump. These are from Trans Dapt.The pump tucks down in front of the engine—the same spot as the pumps on factory power steering cars.Once all the hydraulic connections are made the engine can be started to check for leaks. Any air trapped in the system can be bled by slowly turning the wheel full left to full right.

2009 Goodguys Midwestern Nationals - Goin' To Kansas CityWritten by on March 1, 2010 The 2009 Goodguys Midwestern Nationals
Kansas City might be known for its barbecue and pretty little women, but trucks sure are plentiful in the Midwest! The Goodguys show in Kansas City is a great event for those who want to kick back, relax, enjoy the pleasant September weather, and see just the right amount of cool cars and trucks.
There were a solid 2,000 entries at the show, which is plenty to see and get some good exercise walking the rows of the infield at the Kansas Speedway. Of course, there are lots of new and well-known vendors on hand to satisfy your needs for your latest project. One of the things I like about the Kansas City event is the location in the rolling plains with all the restaurants and shops just outside the Speedway (in case you need to buy new walking shoes like I did). Kansas City is just a short drive from the track for anyone who wants to explore the city at night.
Even though we hadn't covered the event in a few years, there were plenty of familiar friendly faces and trucks that welcomed me back. I got to talk to and catch up with many former feature truck owners as well as sharp-eyed readers who picked me out of the crowd. It's good to know those who take the time to do this like what we've been doing and continue to read the magazine-thanks!
I'll come right out and cop to the fact that there are quite a few Chevys in the show coverage and the CLASSIC TRUCKS FINEST FIVE picks. It wasn't on purpose, I swear. It's just the way the cards fell, both Riz and I are pretty middle of the road-brand wise-and have both owned all kinds of makes, models, and years of vintage cars and trucks. So all you Ford nuts don't send us too many angry letters! Just make sure to attend your closest Goodguys event this year and show your colors! In case you haven't heard, Goodguys has added a truck class to their popular Street Challenge Autocross for 2010, so now we don't have to compete against all the Camaros. For more info on past and future Goodguys events, go to www.good-guys.com.

And speaking of custom, Greg and Julie Panosh had their '53 Chevy truck in the Peak booth for much of the weekend. The 3100 has a 496ci big-block underhood backed by a Turbo400 trans, 18- and 20-inch Schott wheels, African Makore wood bed floor, and a full leather interior to name a few.Moving right along, we have John and Angela McDonald's '55 Ford F-100 extended cab. The family hauler has been on the road for more than a decade and preceded the younger members of the family, but they are all glad 18 inches were added to the cab along with a back seat. The F-100 has a 351 underhood, a chopped top, and the front wheel wells were even reduced by 11/2 inches in diameter.Jim Mori's '68 C10 was built by his brother and was one of my personal favorites at the show for mild or simple reasons, and maybe because I hope my C10 turns out this nice! Jim's CST optioned Chevy is basically all stock including the bucket seat interior except the wheels and the GM 5.3L LS drivetrain. The LS engine was even painted Chevy Orange to make it look like GM put it there. The '72 Corvette Miglia Red and red interior is a striking combo as well. Stay tuned for a feature.Our last pick was given to Kevin Archer's '68 Chevy C10. The shortbed was built by Randy Huggenberger of Dakota Muscle Cars and is host to countless hours of fab and prep work. One of the most unique features about the truck is its passenger car-inspired interior. Among all the body mods and Billet Specialties wheels is another LS powerplant from an '06 Escalade. We got a feature on this one too.I ran into Pete Klucas a few years ago at this show, and he was back with his eye-catching 5.0-powered '54 F-100.Dave Parish of Independence, Missouri, brought out his slick '57 Chevy. The classy black and red Chevy not only looks good, but it goes good too with a 454 rat motor between the 'rails!There were a few COEs at the Kansas Motor Speedway and this Viper Red '51 Ford was pretty cool. Owners Michael and Joan Mellor drove it over from Oak Grove, Missouri. The chassis is based on a '79 Ford 1-ton with a 460 and a C6.It was nice to see a "finished" shop truck with all the patina jobs out there these days. Shop owner Tim Devlin looks like he actually cares about the reputation his shop gets from people seeing the truck.
Who doesn't love seeing Cameos? We really liked the unusual color combo on this '57 model owned by Richard Trice.Only in Kansas would you find a truck that should have been made by John Deer! This isn't a bad thing; in fact, it was kind of neat. Unfortunately, the owner didn't fill out the window sticker so this little Job Rated Dodge will have to go nameless.This suede C10 had a crowd around it all weekend. Maybe it was its in the weeds stance or its overall subtleness, or maybe just because it looked so cool. No matter what it was, we'd bet Shawn Shipers has fun driving the '67.Looking at a truck like Daniel Hanson's '48 Chevy, you'd think it has something trick underhood, but the trick is that it has a 235 inliner backed by 700-R4 that spins the big back wheels! We love trucks like this.A little Friday morning rain didn't scare Tom Hadd and his '47 International. The 283- powered pickup has seen more than a few rainstorms in its time, which is how it got its "finish."Modular Ford engines-especially the DOHC-look mean in just about anything including old unibody Fords with no hood! Zach Hardy has been driving the snot out of his '61 all over the country this last year.Even in its not-quite-done state, Mitch Titus' '56 Chevy was lookin' sweet. The stockish suede color looked nice with cream accents on the grille, bumper, headlight buckets, and rims. We can't wait to see it done.

A building's acoustics can have a large impact on the well-being, happiness, and productivity of its occupants.
Simply speaking, any sound that is unwanted, or in excess, is "noise." CertainTeed Building Science investigates sound paths to understand sound's sources and modes of transmission.
There are two types of sound paths: airborne sound and structure-borne sound. Airborne sound is directly transmitted from a source into the air. All sound that reaches your ear is airborne. Some examples of airborne sound are passing traffic, music or voices from an adjacent room, or the noise from machinery and aircraft.
Structure-borne sound, also known as "impact noise," is sound that travels through solid building materials such as footsteps on floors, door slams, plumbing and mechanical equipment vibrations, and the impact of rain and weather on a building.

|Ballots have been mailed
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Ballots for the Nov. 5 election have been mailed to all active registered voters in Phillips County, reported County Clerk and Recorder Beth Zilla.
If anyone did not receive a ballot and believes they should have, they should contact Zilla at the courthouse.
Drop-off locations for those ballots are the Phillips County clerk's office in Holyoke and the Haxtun Town Hall.
Ballots must be returned to one of those locations by 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5 in order to be counted.
Zilla emphasized that the ballots may be returned by mail, but they must be received at the county clerk's office by Election Day in order to be counted—not postmarked by Nov. 5 but actually received by Nov. 5, said Zilla.
Ballots can be turned in to either office during regular workday hours.
Both the county clerk's office and the Haxtun town office will be open Saturday, Nov. 2 from 8 a.m.-noon for ballot returns only.
Additionally, the offices will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Zilla said the county clerk's office will do regular business only during normal business hours from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. The rest of the open hours will be devoted to election business.
Ballot questions reviewed
All Colorado voters will receive the state ballot involving two questions—Amendment 66 and Proposition AA.
Amendment 66 involves funding for public schools, and Proposition AA deals with retail marijuana taxes.
Phillips County voters will be answering the question pertaining to whether to pursue becoming the 51st state.
City of Holyoke voters will have two other ballot questions. One relates to whether there should be term limits for city-elected officials. The second question asks for authorization to impose a lodging tax of up to 5 percent.
Haxtun School District Re-2J has placed a bond issue on the ballot, as well as a candidate election.
Voters in Haxtun Rural Fire Protection District will be voting on Referendum 4A, a mill levy election.

Thought I'd start the new thread a few days early.
I finally saw the film The Town (a year or two late), loved it in a way I thought I wouldn't (and man, how handsome Ben Affleck is in sunglasses and a police officer's uniform!). Two Saturdays ago, they were playing it all day, all night, on one of the cable stations, and, with the flu, it was good to see it, over and over.
Anyway, I liked it so much I turned to Chuck Hogan's Prince of Thieves, from which the film was adapted. This book will close out my reading for the 2012.
DD is taking me to see Life of Pi on New Year's Day, which gives me three days to read the thing while reading "Prince." "Pi" is how I will begin my 2013 reading, along with a few gifts I received:
A David Foster Wallace biography
A posthumous David Foster Wallace essay collection
Best American Short Stories 2012
Dave Eggars, A Hologram for the King
DD knows that a happy mommy is a reading mommy, and planned her gift-giving as such. :) (Actually, she didn't have to give me anything. Her presence on Christmas morning before goibg off with her father, and her own love of reading, was my Christmas present.)
For fun, I picked up Keith Richards's authobiograpy, Fun, and Ken Caillat's Fleetwood Mac memoir, Making Rumours.
So, that should hold me for January.
With what reading will you kick off the New Year?

Using Zimbra 7.1.4 GA in a Linux (Ubuntu 10.04) environment.
It's a new install. I can recall in previous installs that my address book, a Google contacts base, imported just fine, including any groups I've defined. I'm a book review editor, and I need to send bulk e-mails out to names in my group lists. I never had a problem before.
Now, although all the individual names are importing, I'm not getting any of the groups. Previously, for example, I could enter "Receive Reviews" into the BCC: field of an e-mail, and it would show a box with "Receive Reviews" in it and send the reviews to the entire list.
I've looked in the address book itself, and none of the groups have been imported.
Is there some way to fix this problem? Thanks.

Sit down, Romney, SIT DOWN
Printable View
Sit down, Romney, SIT DOWN
goodnight sweet prince
On a side not, did anyone else notice how fat Chris Christy is?
poor Romney he didn't write a losing speech
All I know is you all voted to eat shit. The poll says so.
Sore loser
hahahahahaahah romney sucks. poor romney says hes giving up on politics now. probably for the best. the republican party should just give up on politics.
At least we have congress. 4 more years of gridlock, thanks America.
Yeah let's thank them, go them.
Now that the republicans have nothing to lose, they might refuse to raise the debt ceiling out of spite/blame president for bad economy they created. Then we'd really be screwed.
Romney concedes
I kind of feel bad for the Romney supporters, where we was going to speak they had a TV on, and they booed the news and changed the channel every time the heard something bad, eventually they went in an infinite loop, turned off the TV, passed out flags and got quite. They are currently still waving the flags.
I think the house will actually do much better now, as the Republicans won't try another smear campaign on Obama by giving him shitty legislation
lol nope Solly
you don't know the house
after more research I must agree
I haven't realized this until now, but the house and senate seem directly at odds in their formation. The house makes the laws and policies, while the senate reviews them, its not to hard to see a case, even in the 1700s where the house can't make policies that the president and senate agree with. I guess he just compromised better then.
fuck yeah todd akin didn't win. stay out of my ovaries todd!
also missouri's prop b lost by 2 percent. VERY HAPPY.
Also Weed is legal in Colorado, and Puerto Rico might become a state.
lets see how long this democratic streak can keep going. the southwest isnt going to be getting any more white.
hell how long until TEXAS becomes a battleground state, the republicans will be killed unless they radically change their message. but then they dis-enthuse their southern white base.
also the democrats have found a winning message. i mean watch msnbc, it's shocking how much the democratic media establishment is doing in getting out the "right" message -- standard of living, lack of job security, the actual documented effects of neoliberalism, contrasting the US with "socialist" western europe who have less problems with everything, etc. obama won VIRGINIA both elections, a white democrat in 2016 can get traction among working class whites in much of the south.
the republicans have ONE card up their sleeve, chris christy. and he might disappoint nationally.
also, is barack obama the best politician in american history? how the fuck does a black guy win a reelection in a LANDSLIDE in THIS economy.
I think Marco Dubious is the only Republican hope. If they don't abandon their idiotic position on immigration they'll never win another election.

Yes! Yes! Yes!!!! I SO remember these! My aunt made these as well as the painted barrettes... remember those? She had a lovely little business going. She got "fancy" with the ribbon barrettes by stringing a few beads on the ends. They were so cool. I used to love to visit her because she would always give me some to take home!

We're excited here to do that craft, too. I used to love my barrettes, but none survived to this day. No matter, we can make a slew of 'em ourselves. Remember the ones with little flowers or beads? We're excited to try out that, too! :)

It's amazing no one thought of this before. But Pete Biro came up with a Pivoting Shell that had both David Roth and Mike Gallo, at the World Magic Seminar asking, When can I get one? What it is is a shell that is pivoted over a full chip. The routines possible with this combination are only limited by your imagination.

Any advice on the following would be great:
1. Quarterback: I have Peyton Manning and RGIII. RGIII has been money but they play Pit. Peyton on the other hand, is playing New Orleans who has one of the worst defensive units in the league. I'm leaning towards Peyton on this one. He has also thrown 3 tds in each of the last 3 weeks.
2. Running back: Vick Ballard or Alex Green. Both are playing porous rushing d. I'm leaning towards Alex Green hoping he gets mop up work when GB takes a big lead...
3. TE: Kyle Rudolph or Vernon Davis - Past weeks I have played Vernon Davis but he has done poorly the last two weeks. This week Rudolph plays TB tonight who isn't good against the pass and Davis plays at Arizona. I'm leaning towards Rudolph.
4. WR/RB: This is where I'm torn. I have 4 good receivers and can play two with an option to play a third one in the WR/RB position. I have the following wide receivers that I will play:
A. Calvin Johnson - killing my team lately
B. Marquis Colston - saving my team lately
The question is whether I should play one of the next two or play Vick Ballard/Alex Green instead. I have been playing WRs in this spot because I am deep at receiver, however it has been backfiring as they don't get guaranteed points where the running backs tend to get 6-7 points and then double their points if they get a touchdown. So, who do I play at WR/RB
C. Larry Fitzgerald - playing the top pass defense, SF. And has Skelton forgetting to throw his way.
D. Brandon Gibson - playing NE and most targeted receiver for St. Louis.
E. Vick Ballard/Alex Green - almost guaranteed points... They both scored better than the two above last couple weeks but the two above could have breakout games...
Ok, I know, lots of decisions, but know cyclone fanatics are smart and opinionated.
Thanks in advance.
scoring system?

Start Manning over RGIII and don't think twice about it. Look at what Josh Freeman did against the Saints. Peyton has yet to throw an INT at home and the Saints D is horrendous.

.1 for every yard rushing/receiving.
Start Ballard in the WR/RB spot ... he was ok last week.
Amendola might be back this week for the Rams and that would limit Gibson.
The AZ QB is horrible and they'll give up about 8 sacks. Feel really sorry for Larry Fitz.
Peyton or RGIII? Probably ok either way -- tough to predict. But Peyton is at home and the Eagles will be hunting.
TE? Not sure. The Vikings have a few weapons: #28 and #12 eat a lot of points. I think Davis is due.
I'd start Peyton and Rudolph. Tampa's d is bad against the pass and give up a lot of points to TEs. Rudolph has been a huge red zone threat and he can get multiple targets in the red zone throughout any game. Last week was bad for him (I started him), but that was because Ponder played poorly. I expect a much better game tonight.
I also have Peyton and RG3 in one of my leagues! Definitely going with Manning.
1. Peyton slightly above RG3 this week because of the great match-up.
2. Ballard and Green are very close. Flip a coin, but I'd lean Green too
3. Davis, more proven.
4. Larry Fitz. I know he hasn't been spactacular this year, but do you really want Gibson or Vick Ballard starting over him when he goes off for 150 yards and 3 tds on your bench like he's capable of?
Manning for sure
Gibson (Amendola is back practicing, not back playing, that wont happen til week 10 at least)
Gibson should get some good targets. Ballard wont get the ball in the endzone.
I need to start 3 of these wide recievers:
1. Brandon Marshall (CHI) vs CAR
2. Marques Colston (NO) @ DEN
3. James Jones (GB) vs JAC
4. Demaryius Thomas (DEN) vs NO
Thoughts? I'm leaning towards sitting Jones....
Scoring settings:
1 per reception
10 yards per point (I'm pretty sure its incremental though so really .1 per yard)
3 points at 100 yards

I would say Marshall and Thomas are locks to start. Probably a coin flip between the other 2.
Pick the QB
P Rivers or RGIII
1 pt for 50 yds passing
1 pt for every completion
1 pt for 10 yds rushing
6 pts TD
Ok, I'm going with the following:
QB: Manning
RB: Steven Ridley
RB: Alex Green
RB/WR: Vick Ballard
WR: Calvin Johnson
WR: Marquis Colston
TE: Rudolph - Will be going against a week TB D and Leonard Johnson maybe starting tonight so this will be difficult to cheer against him...
TE: Vernon Davis..... hope he has one more poor week.... playing Arizona who is 4th best d against pass
WR: Brandon Gibson - was tempted as NE d has been bad against pass - this is the one I'm concerned with.
Larry Fitgerald - They are playing SF who has the top passing D.
Thanks for all of the advice. I will let you know on Sunday/Monday how I made the wrong decisions. My bench players always seem to do the best. So, if you have any of my bench guys on your team, play them as they should do well....

Tough decision. Who does Philip Rivers play this weekend?
I would probably stick with RGIII

I am using ESX 5.0 with the appliance version 8.0.1116 and cannot get the single node installation to succeed. We do have a firewall and a split-dns will be necessary. However, I have read many posts and can't determine if the zimbra server's ip should be dynamic or static. I know that the command /opt/vmware/share/vami_config_net should be run. When I set it to static, I get the error message "Did not find a matching DNS A record...". When I set it to dynamic, I have internet access, but get the same error message. Also, rebooting the vm does not keep the network settings. The Split-dns procedure starts out with installing bind9, which does not exist anymore and says to use dnsutils. When I do apt-get install dnsutils, it says it is the latest version. Executing dnsutils says it does not exist. The command which dnsutils returns nothing.
Executing command apt-get install dnsmasq returns "Couldn't find dnsmasq". I am able to get to the internet since I can ping google.

CM Punk not allowed to fight
Amid all the hype and excitement over the news of CM Punk signing with UFC, the fact that he might not be able to get a license to fight has been lost on many. During a recent interview, the New Jersey athletic commissioner stated that his organization is hesitant about giving a license to someone that has no experience. He even suggested that Punk gain some amateur experience before applying for a license. Other states have yet to chime in.

Video: House Demolished At Spring Valley Formerly Used Defe
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers held a press conference on Thursday about the beginning of house demolition and the cleanup of the property at 4825 Glenbrook Road N.W. The property is located within the Spring Valley Formerly Used Defense Site.
During the World War I era, the property was part of the American University Experiment Station, where the U.S. government researched and tested chemical agents, equipment and munitions. During two investigations that started in 2000 and 2007, the Corps of Engineers found "materials of concern" on the property, and next to the house's foundation.
VIDEO: House Demolition Begins In Spring Valley
Removing the house will allow engineers to thoroughly investigate near and under the house, and clean up and restore "the property to residential standards," say Army Corp of Engineers officials.
The removal is expected to take two to three weeks. Officials say the debris "will be either recycled or disposed of off-site in accordance with local, state and federal guidelines."

HON 310 Junior Honors: Community Transformed (3)
This seminar allows students to develop individual or collaborative service-learning research proposals in their own majors or other areas under the supervision of a faculty facilitator. In some cases the scope of the proposal may allow it to be implemented during the course term. The proposal may develop from service-learning that students have done with other honors program participants or present a new avenue for service-learning and research. Through sharing their experiences and discoveries, students will participate in guided discussions that address such questions as: What does it mean to have original ideas? What is the vocation of an academic? How/where do advanced academics, service and faith intersect? What are distinctive characteristics of various disciplines? and Why/how should one approach graduate school and/or a professional career? Another portion of this seminar will address strategies for graduate school opportunities, finance and pre-entrance preparation. Guest speakers from across the college campus and beyond will be invited to complement discussions in this seminar.

Lifelong Music Partner
We want the MCR-040/140 to be your friendly music partner. Always close at hand. Easy to use, nice to touch, fun to look at, great to listen to. The more you live with it, the more you'll like it. You and your MCR-040/140 are going to be friends for a long time...
The MCR-040 puts your favourite music sources within easy reach. It's got a CD player, an FM radio*, USB and mini jack inputs for portable audio devices, and a dock on top for an iPod, which you can control with the handy card-sized remote control. The iPod and USB device charge both while in use and in standby mode. What's more, it has both a clock timer and a sleep timer. * Plus DAB/DAB+ for UK and Australian models.
Both the amp and speakers are designed for high efficiency and performance, so the sound is bigger and better than you expect from components of this size. They were also planned and carefully tested for best audio integration.
Advanced Yamaha Active Servo Technology (YST) is a major reason for the high performance of Yamaha speakers, and is especially suited for small speakers. The CD receiver and speakers work together, using negative impedance drive to produce small lowfrequency signals, which are enhanced to large outputs by the precisely designed speaker cabinet and port. The result is powerful, accurate bass that seems to be coming from a much larger speaker.
VCCS solves the problem of speaker cabinet vibration with strategically placed pieces of a composite material whose shapes, positions and angles were arrived at after a long process of experimentation. It also uses special foam rubber that provides excellent vibration isolation performance.

General comments
I am in general agreement with the thrust of this discussion paper. It makes a persuasive argument that we should adopt a latest-issue approach for serials. I would even go further and eliminate most "major changes", but that's not on the table. It would be preferable to follow the "new design" described on p. 14ff. of the paper, as opposed to a lot of alternative rules. The paper is a little misleading in its frequent comparisons to the treatment of integrating resources. For integrating resources we don't make new descriptions even for major changes in title, so there will still be a difference in treatment even if the DNB proposal is accepted. The proposal keeps the rules for major changes in serials and only deals with the minor changes that sometimes happen in between the major ones. --John Hostage (talk) 14:03, 10 September 2013 (PDT)
I am also in general agreement with the discussion paper. Adding the option of latest entry description might be a little complicated to get in place, but I think it's a worthwhile change. -- Steve Kelley, CC:DA, Sept. 12, 2013
The good thing about discussion papers is that you can encourage everyone to pursue the ideas presented without committing yourself. I'm still unenthusiastic about using latest-issue cataloging for all serials past and present, but the best way to put the earliest-issue/latest-issue debate behind us is to make the question less critical by allowing the complete title history of a serial to be encoded and displayed if, when and as appropriate. And the "new design" in this discussion paper looks like a first step in that direction. --Robert J. Rendall (talk) 09:56, 13 September 2013 (PDT)
I have a variety of concerns with this paper, the first being the clarity of scope. The paper's introduction states:
"… The German language cataloguer's community applies basically the same rules (based on the ISBD) to determine upon "major and minor changes" as the Anglo-American cataloguing community. In case of a "major change" in the title proper, a new description is made. But there also are "minor changes" in the title proper, which do not require a new description, such as a spelling variant in the title proper (e.g., "Deutsche Nationalbibliografie" and "Deutsche Nationalbibliographie") or a change of the publisher's name…"
The paper goes on to state the differing practice between AACR2/RDA and RAK/ZETA in the above context. My interpretation then is that the scope of discussion is limited to "minor changes," and that the DNB is not proposing a change to the current practice of successive entry cataloging based on major changes. My comments hereafter reflect that interpretation, though most of them are applicable if the discussion pertained to moving away from successive entry cataloging. My second concern then is that application of this approach would be confusing to catalogers in that we would employ successive entry cataloging when dealing with major changes, but latest entry cataloging when dealing with minor changes.
Looking at the first reason for changing practice, on page 7, DNB posits that it is more convenient to the user to present them with the latest data about a publication. It is unfortunate that they don't provide any data supporting this assertion, but rather, base this observation on assumptions. While I concede that there are users that use the most recent data to judge whether or not a resource is the one they are looking for, this does not consider the fact that many users are searching using citations that may or may not reflect the current publication data or are basing their selection on recollections of data from previous searching. If it is confusing to a user to see earlier data when they have later data, it stands to reason that it is equally confusing for a user to see later data when they have earlier data and we must consider that this group may in fact represent the majority of users.
DNB asserts that users will always be most familiar with the publication data of the most current iteration. Perhaps, but to press the issue, are you aware of the most current publication data for the journals you read? Do you know if the current title of Time is "Time" or "Time magazine," is it "Cataloging and Classification Quarterly" or "Cataloging & Classification Quarterly?" These specific examples lead me to ask, are these differences really that confusing to users? Looking at the DNB example illustrating the point in the introduction on page 3, is any user actually going to notice the difference in the spelling of "nationalbibgrafie" in the title having retrieved the record via a match against a variant title access point provided in the record?
Consider next DNB's assertion that using as the basis of description the most current state of publication is a more principled application of RDA's principle of representation. Is it a more principled application if, out of run of say 30 volumes, the last two had a variation in data from the previous 28, or, in a multi-part monograph, the last volume was published by another agency? Might not a more "principled" application of the principle of representation have us consider the most used data as being more representative of the publication?
The argument outlined in section 4.3 dealing with e-journal is another one based on assumptions. Lacking any quantitative data of my own, I offer only my own observation that this is more of a problem with major title changes and that efforts such as KBART and our own efforts at UCSD are making vendors and publisher more aware of this issue and they are adjusting their practices accordingly. With regards to the "discrepancy" between serials and integrating resources, given they are different forms of issuance, I don't have an issue with them being treated differently, admittedly, not a principled stance.
At the broader conceptual level, I'm actually supportive of the idea that we should be structuring RDA in a manner that supports these two approaches. As DNB notes, MARC already provides a mechanism to distinctively code the chronological sequences of publication data which a system could use to preferentially display whichever data the agency thought best for their user community. I'm not so sure similar coding could be developed for the title fields but would support their development. In our current environment, that might not be necessary, at least for OCLC users. Since OCLC allows for different language records to exist in parallel in its system, and since it is highly likely that the majority if not all the OCLC German language records would be created by libraries in Germany and Austria, it might work that the German/Austrian libraries could follow their latest entry practices for the German language records and that not interfere with a English language communities practice of using the earliest iteration. However, even in this case, explicit coding reflecting cataloging practice followed would be ideal.
My final comment is a suggestion that instead of offering latest entry as an alternative, that this approach be written into RDA as one of two choices, e.g. 18.104.22.168b) If the resource has sequentially numbered issues or parts, choose a source of information identifying the lowest numbered issue or part available or the latest numbered issue or part available. -- Adolfo Tarango, CRS Liaison, 9/15/13.
I am in general agreement with the issues presented in this discussion paper. I agree that agencies should have the option to use the lowest or latest entry as the basis of description. I also appreciate Adolfo's insightful comments on this topic.—-Dominique Bourassa, CC:DA, Sept. 16, 2013
This is a very interesting discussion paper. While I appreciate the problems that are being addressed, I do not find the suggested solution to be very satisfying. As admitted on page 6, it does "lead to a rather cumbersome amassing of alternatives." More troubling, I believe it has a high likelihood of leading to more difficulty in the determination of major vs. minor changes occurring in the past (i.e., for the run of the publication coming before the latest issue described in the record). It also makes me wonder what would be the impact on 220.127.116.11 (Issue or Part Used as the Basis for the Identification of a Multipart Monograph or Serial): what phrases would be used, and would the notes become more confusing to catalogers? Selecting catalog copy in databases such as OCLC is already difficult enough, and introducing options such as this would end up making it even harder.
The options and alternatives in RDA generally seem to be intended to result in bibliographic descriptions that can live together with a reasonable degree of comfort. The suggested approach in this paper, on the other hand, would be leading to a situation of parallel--or rather, opposing (or even "confrontational"?)--records, something that should be avoided at all costs.
Before reaching the section headed "A new design for the recording of information on earlier and later stages", I found myself thinking about exactly the kind of treatment it describes. I heartily agree that the addition of more specific RDA elements and MARC tags would be a better approach. While it is called "a more fundamental change to the design of RDA", it actually seems to be more in line with the spirit of RDA. It would also fit in much more easily with our existing data. It would allow "earliest issue" and "latest issue" agencies to create data following the same instructions, and use the same set of data to produce varying displays according to their preferred conventions. Since the DNB paper does not propose any changes in naming serial works, this boils down to a problem that is primarily about display of the data. The basis of description is a fundamental part of the guidelines for identification in RDA; introducing wildly variant options would make the guidelines more complex and result in less consistency and less interoperability of data. It would be much simpler to pursue the strategy described in "A new design". Adolfo Tarango, CRS Liaison, for Kevin Randall, Northwestern University, 9/16/2013
Constituency responses
Summary of ACOC response: ACOC's preference would be to pursue the option to introduce a new set of elements to record information on both earlier and later states of a resource.
