Id like this dive computer with compass and quick disconnect, but couldnt find both together. Do you offer at what price? I see the quick disconnect hose, does that work with every datamax? Thanks Patrick
Hello, if you go to http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-16/009300/Oceanic-Datamax-Pro-Plus-2.1-Air---Nitrox-Integrated-Dive-Computer.html and in the drop down menu and select with compass and quick disconnect for $699.95
Good evening, I am looking for a new dive computer. I have been diving a mares rgbm mc1 that is not air integrated for years. I have enjoyed the computer, but when I bought it, I planned on buying the USB cable as I got close to filling the log. However when that happened, no one carried the cable anymore. So now I am looking to replace it. I am looking to be in the 600 range and wanted a recommendation. Here are the most important features to me: 1. User replacable batteries preferably with hot swap so that I do not lose information. 2. Pc downloadable with a big enough log for an extended dive trip away from the computer, preferably 30+ log. 3. Nitrox compatibility 4. Quick release 5. Compass I have narrowed it down to 3 computers and wanted to know the differences and if you had any recommendations. Those 3 are: 1. Oceanic data Max pro 2.1 (I also wanted to know why you show this computer 2x on your site. One with a retail of 719 and a sale price of 689. The second has a retail of 859 and a sale price of 599) 2. Aeris atmos AI 3. Mares puck I am looking for this computer to last me hopefully for 10+ years. What is your recommendation? Thanks, Paul
Hello Paul, Thank you for your inquiry I am recommending the Aeris Atmos AI Air/Nitrox Dive Computer with Compass and Quick Disconnect. Not only for the price but for the features and benefits of a fully air-integrated computer, a compass, quick disconnect and a large easy to read screen, boasting a complete console with a small footprint. You can also order the optional Aeris Dive Computer Interface Cable which allows you to down load the dives into a PC and/or lap top. Please note, prices and availability may vary. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-16/009042/Aeris-Atmos-AI-Air---Nitrox-Dive-Computer-v.2.html If you have other questions, need help or would like to place an order, please contact SCUBA.com by calling 800-247-2822 <> 949-221-9300 or e-mail us at: firstname.lastname@example.com
I am a new to diving. My wife bought me a air nitrox computer. Can I use it for just air or do I need a different computer?
This product appears to be listed twice with a price difference of approximately $90. What am i missing? The Cobalt is listed first and then two consecutive listings for the Oceanic Datamax Pro Plus 2.1. Help?
Does this model have quick disconnect, safty stop count down timer, air consumption capabilties? What do the customable alams consist of? How many can be put into the comp.?
This particular model does not come with the quick disconnect. The other features are normal features to most all air integrated dive computers and are included in Oceanic''s. The customizable alarms are audio and visual both and can be set for turn around gas, time, depth, and other user settable choices.
I have a Sherwood Wisdom 3 wplus compass. I love it. This oceanic datamax pro plus 2.1 air/nitrox, is it just as good? We are beginners and need one for my husband. Give me your input on what you suggest. Thanks,
Hello Terrie, both computer are excellent computer to have. They both will do everything that you need to dive. Since you already have a Sherwood Wisdom I would suggest going with that version since you are already know how to work the computer and the download cable would work for both computers. If you went with the Oceanic computer you would need a separate download cable for the new computer.

Uses USB Cable P/N 04.9604 or 04.9606 only
Air Time Remaining
The Air Time Remaining feature calculates current depth, tank pressure, your breathing rate, ascent time, and decompression status to tell you exactly how much time you can remain underwater. The Pro Plus 2.1 continually displays Air Time Remaining via a numerical bar graph in addition to cylinder pressure. You may also display Air Time Remaining in oversized digits at any time with the press of a button.
Dive Time Remaining
Dive Time Remaining, like Air Time Remaining provides a 'real' number in minutes. This calculation combines Air Time Remaining, Nitrogen and Oxygen absorption, displaying whichever allows less time.
Choose Your Dive Mode Display
The new Pro Plus 2.1 is as versatile underwater as it is topside. Upon starting your dive, the Pro Plus 2.1 will simply display your current depth, how long you can stay there and cylinder pressure. While many divers have asked for such simplicity and ease of use, you know that with all the Pro Plus 2.1's features, there must be more. And there is. Simply press the button to see more information. Is this information important to you on a full time basis? Leave it there. Just want to check it and then move on to another display? You can do that too. It's up to you and your new Pro Plus 2.1.
Oversized Digits
Take the Oceanic challenge: When shopping for a new dive computer, compare the displays. When it comes to viewing critical information, which would you rather see at 100 feet?
Water or Manual Activation
Is it a good idea to check your computer before entering the water? You bet. Could you forget to activate your computer? Sure. The Pro Plus 2.1 features push-button or automatic activation, triggered by water contact. A benefit of push-button activation is easily verifying operation and cylinder pressure, but in case you forget, or simply choose not to activate your computer, it can be as simple as jumping in the water.
Audible Alarms with Flashing LED Warning Light
The Pro Plus 2.1 features a variety of system and user-customized audible alarms, alerting you to situations that pose a potential danger, or simply serve as a convenient reminder.
Audible Alarm Acknowledgement™
Have you ever had difficulty hearing your computer's audible alarm? Perhaps that little beep signifying a potentially dangerous situation was timed perfectly with some large exhaust bubbles rushing past your ears. Or maybe it seemed to be insignificant as that huge manta ray soared overhead. You won't miss the Pro Plus 2.1's audible alarm. Once triggered, the alarm will sound continuously for 10 seconds. We know what you're thinking… "That's nice, I'll definitely hear the alarm, but isn't that going to annoy me and everyone else in the water?" We thought of that too. The alarm's job is to get your attention so that you look at the computer. Once it does that, simply press the button and it will stop. You're a responsible diver and Oceanic treats you that way. If you really want to exceed your pre-set maximum depth alarm by a couple of feet to capture that award-winning photograph – go ahead!
Air or Nitrox
The Pro Plus 2.1 acts simply as an 'Air' computer until you tell it otherwise, whether that is this weekend or 2 years down the road. As your training and experience grow, the Pro Plus 2.1 is designed to grow with you, being easily programmed for Nitrox mixtures from 21% to 50%.
Oceanic Personal Dive Computer Algorithm
Decompression theory can be trusted only as far as it has been demonstrated by actual test dive data. In 1987 a unique series of experiments were conducted by Diving Science and Technology (DSAT). Commissioned by the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), these Doppler ultrasound monitored human experiments conducted by Dr. Michael Powell produced the most comprehensive data set that exists for recreational divers to this day. These data were used to validate the PADI Recreational Dive Planner and are the basis of the algorithm used in all Oceanic Personal Dive Computers (PDCs).
'The ultimate adjustable algorithm.' That's the way divers, instructors and Oceanic Pro Dealers refer to Oceanic PDCs. Our color-coded bar graphs provide complete control of your margin of safety for each dive. Want to be a bit more cautious? Make it a personal rule to never enter into the yellow caution zone, or stay one pixel away, or – you get the point. Now you can even program several of our PDCs to do it for you with our patent pending Nitrogen Bar Graph Alarm; set it once and let your computer alert you when your bar graph reaches that level.
Automatic Safety Stop Prompt
A brief audible and visual alarm remind you as you approach 15 feet. An automatic 3-minute timer counts down to zero. As in any other dive mode, you still have access to other pieces of information, and there is no penalty should you choose to disregard the safety stop.
FastSet™ Menu System
Speed through menu items and set modes easily and quickly with Oceanic's FastSet Menu and intuitive dual button operation.
Date and Time Stamp
The Pro Plus 2.1 features time of day on the surface as well as underwater for quick reference. Time and date stamp also helps you to easily identify specific dives in Log Mode or PC download memory.
User Friendly Mode Icons
All Oceanic computers feature bar graphs and universal icons that help you to quickly understand the information displayed on the screen at a glance.
Graphic User Interface™
Using the recognizable logic of green, yellow and red color-coding in conjunction with bar graphs, the diver has at-a-glance information. As easy to understand as a traffic light, the Graphic Diver Interface helps you to easily monitor No-Decompression status, Oxygen Accumulation, Ascent Rate, and Air Time Remaining.
Automatic Altitude Compensation
All Oceanic computers automatically compensate for altitude up to 14,000 feet, giving adjusted no-decompression times and depths. They even automatically recalibrate the depth display for freshwater instead of seawater.
Diver-Replaceable Batteries
All Oceanic computers feature diver replaceable batteries. This can be a real trip-saver on board a live-aboard boat!
Battery Hot Swap™
An added benefit to diver replaceable batteries. The "hot-swap" feature allows you to change batteries between dives while maintaining all calculations.
24-Hour Fly Countdown and Calculated Desaturation Time
The Pro Plus 2.1 features both a dual 12-hour countdown timer and calculated Desaturation Time, the theoretical time required to off-gas all residual nitrogen at sea level.
Variable Ascent Rate Indicator™
Some computers simply flash an icon, telling you that you're ascending too quickly. The Pro Plus 2.1's Variable Ascent Rate Indicator bar graph acts as a speedometer, allowing you to very precisely control your ascent rate via the green, yellow, and red bar graph.
Depth-Dependent Ascent Rate
The Pro Plus 2.1 features a depth-dependant ascent rate, allowing increased rates at deeper depths and providing additional safety as you near the surface.
SmartGlo® Backlighting
Want to verify your set mode options before your night dive? Press the side button to activate the backlight and go ahead! A small photo-sensor in the face of the Pro Plus 2.1 analyzes the intensity of ambient light each time another button is pressed. If it's dark, SmartGlo backlighting will be there for you when you need it, and it will preserve battery life when you don't.
24 Dive On-Unit Log Book
The Pro Plus 2.1 features on-unit data storage capacity for 24 dives. Date and time stamp makes locating and viewing a specific dive quick and easy.
Optional OceanLog® PC Interface
The Pro Plus 2.1 features a watertight, plug-in serial connection for fast and reliable PC download. Optional OceanLog software provides intuitive post-dive analysis and logging. You have the option to add and/or edit many pieces of information to customize your log book, with data such as depth and decompression status during a dive, maximum depth, bottom time, air consumption, air time remaining, no-decompression status, descent and ascent rate, surface interval, and any violations recorded automatically.
Optional PC Upload
In addition to detailed dive analysis, the optional OceanLog PC Interface also allows you to quickly and easily set all of your Pro Plus 2.1 settings and options directly through your PC.
Advanced Dive Planning Simulator
While Oceanic manuals and cue cards are simple to understand, some people learn better through hands-on experience. The on-unit Simulator Mode allows you to run the Pro Plus 2.1 through actual dive profiles including Air Dive, Nitrox, Gauge Mode, and Decompression. You will see the dive happen on the screen as you would in the water. Air consumption calculations may be activated, using a pre-set rate. As you dive the Pro Plus 2.1, the simulated consumption rate will be updated to reflect your own average.
While this is not a substitute for reading and understanding your Owners Guide, it provides detailed dive planning, is an excellent auxiliary learning tool, and it is a great way to refresh your memory on the way to the dive site, particularly if you have not been diving for a while. A side benefit is that you can always show your dive buddy what a cool new dive computer you have!
Extended Range Gauge Mode
Divers using advanced breathing gas mixtures or otherwise conducting planned dives beyond the operational limits of the computer may utilize the Pro Plus 2.1 as an advanced air integrated digital depth gauge and bottom timer with detailed PC Interface.
Split Set Mode Access
With a computer as advanced as the Pro Plus 2.1, you may have to push a lot of buttons to personalize it just the way you want. We have split the set mode into two separate menus. Set Mode 1 includes Nitrox mix, maximum depth alarm, and other options that may change from dive to dive. Set Mode 2 includes units of measurement, PC sampling rate, and other personal preferences that will most likely be set once and forgotten.
Turn-Around Pressure Alarm
The 'Turn-Around' Pressure Alarm is a unique patent-pending feature that allows you to pre-program an audible reminder when you reach 1000 to 3000 psi in 250 psi increments. This helps ensure that you return to your exit point with plenty of air.
Ending Pressure Alarm
Air Time Remaining calculations are based on the 'Ending' Pressure Alarm. You define how much air you want in reserve upon reaching the surface.
Air or Nitrox
The Pro Plus 2.1 acts simply as an 'Air' computer until you tell it otherwise, whether that is this weekend or 2 years down the road. As your training and experience grow, the Pro Plus 2.1 is designed to grow with you, being easily programmed for Nitrox mixtures from 21% to 50%.
Maximum Depth Alarm
The Maximum Depth Alarm provides an audible warning upon reaching your planned maximum depth. This is an important safety feature for deeper dives or less experienced divers, and it comes in handy for rebreather diving where you can pre-set another level of safety.
Elapsed Dive Time Alarm
You're on a boat trip and the captain says, "Dive your own profiles, but be back in an hour – we're having lunch!" Just set your Pro Plus 2.1 to alert you when your elapsed dive time reaches one hour.
Units of Measurement
Choose between Metric and Imperial settings for depth and pressure.
12/24 Hour Time Format
Choose between 12 or 24 hour time format, independent of Units of Measurement.
Date and Time of Day
The Pro Plus 2.1 displays time of day on the surface as well as underwater for quick reference. Time and date stamp helps you to easily identify specific dives in On-Unit Log Mode or PC download memory.
Audible Alarm and Flashing LED Warning Light On/Off
You may choose to deactivate all audible and LED alarms.
Nitrogen Tissue Loading Bar Graph Alarm
Many divers have claimed in the past that Oceanic's Nitrogen bar graph design provides the ultimate user-adjustable computer. Want to be a bit more cautious? Make it a personal rule to never enter into the yellow caution zone, or stay one pixel away, or – you get the point. Now you can program the Pro Plus 2.1 to do it for you. Set it once and let your computer alert you when your bar graph reaches a pre-determined level.
Dive Time Remaining
Dive Time Remaining provides a 'real' number in minutes. This calculation considers both Nitrogen and Oxygen absorption, displaying whichever allows less time. With this unique Pro Plus 2.1 feature, you are able to program an audible alarm to alert you upon reaching a pre-set number in minutes.
Maximum PO2 Level (Nitrox)
When diving Nitrox, do you prefer your maximum PO2 exposure to be 1.2 ATA? 1.6 ATA? Depending on where you learned and your own personal comfort zone, the answer may be very different from diver to diver. The Pro Plus 2.1 lets you set your own limit. Program an audible alarm to sound at the level that you prefer.
FO2 50% Default On/Off
Following a Nitrox dive, many dive computers calculate your next dive based on a "worse-case scenario", mix of 50% Oxygen and 79% Nitrogen should you forget to reset your actual mix. With FO2 50% Default OFF, your mix remains at the original set point until you change it again.
SmartGlo® Backlight Duration
Would you like the backlight to shut off as soon as you release the button? Would you rather it remain on for 0, 3, or 7 seconds? We don't need to make these decisions for you; it's your choice.
PC Interface Sampling Rate
You have the option to choose at which rate (timed or depth transition) the Pro Plus 2.1 samples and stores data for later download to your PC. More frequent sampling will provide extreme detail of your dive profiles with limited storage capacity. Less frequent sampling, while it provides less detail, can store up to 150 dives!
Extended Range Digital Gauge Mode On/Off
Activate Digital Gauge Mode for freediving or dives conducted beyond the limits of the computer.
Water Activation On/Off
Do you tend to keep your equipment in a wet dive bag longer than you should? Are you an Instructor or Divemaster in an environment where your gear is never dry? Would you like to disable the water activation feature? Now you can.

*Battery Life: Battery life estimates are based on full-capacity batteries, and continuous usage as described.
- 7 days per week
- 2 dives per day
- 1 hour dive time
- 2 hour surface interval
- 18 hour interval from last dive to the first of the next day
**Oceanic Personal Dive Computers have user selectable Sampling Rates that determine when data is sampled and stored for subsequent download to associated PC interface programs. More frequent sampling provides more data per dive yet results in storage of fewer dives for download. Use with Air or Nitrox, with or without air integration, dive profiles, and other variables also effect the number of dives that can be stored. Although as many as 150 dives might be stored for consistent 60 foot dives with the Sampling Rate set for a 10 foot rate, as few as 3 may be stored when the profiles fluctuate and the sampling rate is set for a 2 second rate.

Hello all.
We have a two RHEL servers setup, one MTA/LDAP and one MailStore/Logger but we can do not receive any of the nightly mails to admin.
Sendmail is obviously disabled on the MTA.
It was not disabled on the other server, we had no mail.
Tried to disable it (just in case it was causing problems), still no mail (but message in the /var/log/maillog changed in a way that let me think I should re-enable it).
What should be the "correct" setup to get our nightly mails ?

Swedish girl group Icona Pop reached out to Tupac Shakur's mother for permission to sample the late rapper's music in one of their songs.
The "I Love It" hitmakers were determined to use a portion of the hip-hop star's track "Me And My Girlfriend" on their upcoming single "Girlfriend," but wanted to make sure his mom Afeni approved.
Singer Aino Jawo explains, "We are huge Tupac fans. We made a fun twist: He was singing about his gun, and we're singing about our friendship."
"We actually had to write a letter to Tupac's mom to ask if we could use that part. We sent her the song and she liked it. We're very honored to be able to use it…"
"It was an email but we asked her personally. It makes more sense. It's a very sensitive thing. He died way too young."
The tragic hip-hop star was just 25-years-old when he was shot and killed in Las Vegas in 1996.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Wade Davis kept the Kansas City Royals' long stretch of strong pitching intact in a win over the Tampa Bay Rays.
Davis stopped his five-game winless streak, Jeff Francoeur homered, and the Royals beat the Rays 5-3 on Sunday.
The Royals have given up three runs or fewer in 14 of 15 games. Kansas City has won 10 of 12.
"Kansas City is playing really well now," Rays manager Joe Maddon said. "They deserved to win. They're playing with a lot of confidence. If you look at their team ERA, it's number one in baseball. Kansas City outplayed us, period."
After the game, the Rays announced that they were going to purchase the contract of slugging prospect Wil Myers from Triple-A Durham in time for Tuesday's doubleheader at Boston. The outfielder, who hit 14 homers with Durham, was acquired in a seven-player offseason deal with the Royals that sent Davis and starting pitcher James Shields to Kansas City
Davis (4-5) gave up two runs -- both coming in the first -- and five hits in six innings for his first win since he beat the Los Angeles Angels on May 15.
"I knew once he got through the first, he was going to settle in and be fine," Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. "Wade did a great job of limiting the damage. I just had a real good feeling he'd get back in the dugout, he'd regroup and hold them right there. That's exactly what he did."
It was Davis' first game against the Rays.
"I was up in the zone a little bit," Davis said. "The walks and a couple of hits that got in there were just balls I left up a little bit. Once I got the breather in the third or fourth inning when we scored some runs, I got a little breathing room."
After Francoeur hit a solo homer in the fifth inning, Alcides Escobar and Alex Gordon had RBI singles to put the Royals ahead 4-2 in the sixth. Gordon added a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
Francoeur had only 13 hits in 83 at-bats before delivering his third homer this season.
Greg Holland, the fourth Kansas City reliever, earned his 14th save despite allowing a homer to Jose Lobaton in the ninth.
Roberto Hernandez (4-7) allowed four runs and nine hits in 5 2-3 innings for Tampa Bay, which went 4-6 on a 10-game homestand. The Rays were coming off a three-game series with Boston that included a 10-8 loss in 14 innings, and a 2-1 defeat.
"The Red Sox series was kind of a weird one," Rays third baseman Kelly Johnson said. "It was tough to lose a couple of those games. We had opportunities to win both. Then this series was one of those hangover series from that. It kind of felt that way anyway. Not a ton of energy, not a ton of life, unfortunately.
"There's always going to be some stuff like that. We've got to get it turned around quickly."
Billy Butler had an RBI single in the first for Kansas City, which won three of four against Tampa Bay.
The Rays took a 2-1 lead in the first when Luke Scott drove in a run with a double and scored on Desmond Jennings' single.
Davis prevented further damage by getting an inning-ending fly from Jose Molina with the bases loaded.
The Rays announced during the game that right-hander Alex Cobb, who was hit on the right ear by a liner off the bat of Kansas City's Eric Hosmer in the fifth inning on Saturday night, had been discharged from Bayfront Medical Center.
"I know we feel wonderful about it," Maddon said. "I think the rest of baseball feels good about it."
Tests showed Cobb has a mild concussion. He was put on the 7-day concussion list, and Tampa Bay recalled right-hander Josh Lueke from Triple-A Durham.
In a message posted on his Twitter account, Cobb thanked Rays head athletic trainer Ron Porterfield and the doctors at Bayfront, and said that he, "Woke up with only a minor headache today."
There was a loud cheer from the announced crowd of 27,442 at Tropicana Field when the news about Cobb was posted on the scoreboard after the top of the sixth.

US Inequality
Did Canada's Middle Class Just Get More Affluent Than the US's, or Did that Happen Long Ago?
The New York Times and Dave Leonhardt's Upshot section made a big splash a few days ago by reporting on a study showing that the Canadian middle class had caught the US middle class in median income and likely surpassed it since. The study is based on an effort to measure median income per capita after taxes, and its results are presented as something truly significant.
However, I think the study is biased in that in median income per capita after taxes, it selected the wrong measure. What is needed is a measure of income or affluence that takes account of the value of cross-national variations in Government benefits delivered to the middle classes. Since the United States has lower taxes than most comparable nations, but delivers much less in safety net and entitlement benefits, it's pretty clear that the measure used in the study reported on by The Times overestimates the real median income of the US middle class in comparison with the middle classes of other comparable nations and provides a misleading impression of the relative affluence of the American middle class.

We're No. 24! We're No. 24!
We keep hearing bad news about where the US stands on various social and economic indicators. The US's ranking in math capability is 27th in the world. Our health care system is ranked 37th. Our 2011 life expectancy is 51st in the world. Our estimated 2012 infant mortality rate is 49th in the world. So we're pretty far down in a number of international statistical comparisons of performance. Some here point to better performance on economic indicators. For example, GDP per capita is often cited as an area where the US performs much better. But even here the latest CIA world handbook estimate shows the US ranked 19th on this measure at $48,400.

'Tis The Season of Giving!
Okay, Bits and Bramblers, we've already talked about how we're in the holiday spirit, right? With the shopping and the decking the halls and the gifts? Well…now let's talk about the other part of the holiday: giving back. After all, there are a few easy (and awesome) ways to give back to those in need this holiday season.
First, there's one of my all-time favorite sites: Free Rice. If you haven't used the site before, here's how it works: you pick a subject–anything from English Vocabulary to Human Anatomy–and you answer trivia questions. If you're right, you automatically donate ten grains of rice. The more questions you answer correctly, the more rice you donate. It's a win/win/win: you get to show off how smart you are, you get to learn new things to impress your family, friends, and teachers, and you donate rice to those in need.
And speaking of those in need, it's hard not to think about the tragedy that happened last week at Sandy Hook Elementary School-and it's especially hard not to think about the victims, their families, and their friends. If you'd like to make a donation–and you have your parent or guardian's permission–consider the United Way of Western Connecticut. They've set up the Sandy Hook School Support Fund, which will provide support services to the families and the community that needs them.
It's strange, isn't it? With everything that's happened, the world can seem like a very dark and very sad place. But there's one surefire way to make it brighter–and that's helping people. After all…it is the season of giving. So wherever you are, Bits and Bramblers, HAVE A VERY SAFE AND HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON.
And because we could all use a little laughter, here's the Santa Claus…soap dispenser…drowning in…pudding, with a crazy legs…snowman. (It'll make you laugh. Just trust me on this one.)

I like all of the Primos calls. Hoochie mama is a great hand call. As far as the mouth calls they all work well but I think you should try different ones to see which one you like the best. I believe they all come with instructional videos.
This may seem like a simple question but I have bow hunted a lot but never for Elk. I believe one of they components to a successful hunt is being able to bugle and cow call. Have been looking and there are ALOT of options out there. What would be a good one to start with? I have used mouth turkey calls a lot so I am comfortable with the mouth call but there are a lot of options and then there are the tubes. Any good instructional videos?
What should I start with? I know there are a lot of opinions about this so lets hear them.
Appreciate the help. Happy Hunting
I like all of the Primos calls. Hoochie mama is a great hand call. As far as the mouth calls they all work well but I think you should try different ones to see which one you like the best. I believe they all come with instructional videos.
The hoochie mama is a great call, but it gets extremely over used.. especially here in Wyoming. I am pro-staff for MossBack Game Calls and definitely love their calls. I loved their calls even before I was on their pro-staff I owned their bugle and cow call. They are truly different from every other call company out there. I can go on forever about them and the calls. The bugle that I used is Da Holla Back Bugle. It is extremely easy to use and is amazing sounding. I can bugle and chuckle without a diaphragm call in. The cow call that I use is The Widowmaker. It is very versatile and can produce chirps, mews and estrus calls. You can make the call very soft or extremely loud. It really is awesome. But I do agree with Ikeepitcold, you need to find one that is right for you. If you want any additional info, just let me know
Check out Elk Nut he has some great instructional videos, audios a field guide and calls and hes a great guy to boot
Also elk101.com has some good info.
Hey Jen, being prostaff, aren't you supposed to say all other calls sound like a broken record from the 1930's, if you don't use mossback calls you are wasting your time? Haha. Just kidding with ya.
Here's what I think, making elk sounds is the easy part. learning what sound to make and when to make it is the key. There are many easy to use calls on the market that work well. I use Deep Timber Sounds calls now. The cow call is very versitile and easy to use. The bugle takes some practice, but its the most realistic and versitile I have ever used. When looking for instrutional videos look for ones that tell you what each elk sound means, and learn about the phases of the elk rut. Then its just a matter of how many differant calls you want to carry around. I like versitility so I can make alot of differant sounds with one cow call and one bugle.
One of the best ways to bow hunt elk is not only being a good caller but when I bow hunt I like to have a friend with me to do the calling and I set up about 75 to 100 yards from him and wait for the bull to come in. Alot of times when your calling by yourself a bull will stop and look for the elk making the call but will be out of shootimg distance. I have had that happen a few times when hunting by myself. I use a bugle to locate a bull then maybe a few cow calls to bring him in. Sometimes they are in the rut and run in and sometimes they bugle and leave. These are a few bulls I called up last year. One thing is for sure when a bull is in the peak of the rut there's no telling what he will do! I have had them just about run me over and I have had days where I couldn't pay one to come in. Good luck.
Nice pic's and great advice.....
Thanks a lot for all the advice. This forum is a great place to get information from a different people with different experiences.
crumy, I use mouth calls the most but also use many different calls that i carry on a lanyard around my neck. I sometimes have a hard time walking and trying to get alot of air in my lungs why I am trying to keep the call in my mouth. If I take them out while i am walking the call drys out and it takes a while to get some moisture in it so it squeels corectly. This is when the blow calls ( hanging around my neck) comes in handy. I dont like the hoochie mama because it is too large and takes a hand to use it, when you have a range finder in one hand a bow in the other, makes it kind of tough. The hoochie mama sounds good if you press it the same way each time. If you push it to fast, it sometimes sounds like an alarm bark ( not good ). Good luck

Springfield, MA (Sports Network) - Rhamel Brown recorded a double-double with
12 points and a game-high 12 rebounds as the Manhattan Jaspers held on to
defeat the Greyhounds of Loyola-Maryland, 55-52, in the quarterfinals of the
MAAC Tournament at MassMutual Center.
Shane Richards, RaShawn Stores and Emmy Andujar all tallied nine points for
the sixth-seeded Jaspers (13-17) in the triumph.
The third-seeded Greyhounds (21-11) were paced by Dylon Cormier who posted 14
points and seven rebounds, followed by Anthony Winbush with 12 points and six
boards. Erik Etherly finished the night with a mere six points as he shot 1-
of-10 from the floor.
Both teams had trouble finding the basket in the first half, but even with
Loyola converting a meager 31.8 percent from the floor, the team was able to
stay within four points at the break, 34-30, after converting all 12 chances
at the free-throw line over the first 20 minutes of action.
In the second half again the squads had their issues from the field, yet even
6-of-19 shooting for Manhattan was enough to keep the Jaspers out in front
when it counted the most.
Each team made 16 field goals, five beyond the arc, so the difference took
place at the charity stripe where the Jaspers held an 18-15 edge.
Manhattan now takes on seventh-seeded Fairfield in the semifinals of the
tournament on Sunday afternoon for the right to take part in the title game on
Monday night.

By Ian Simpson and Jeff Mason
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – America is struggling to fully realize the vision that civil rights leader Martin Luther King described in his famous "I have a dream" speech 50 years ago, as the goal of economic security for all remains elusive, President Barack Obama said on Wednesday.
Obama, the first black U.S. president, spoke to thousands of marchers on Washington's National Mall on Wednesday to commemorate King's landmark address, which came to symbolize the struggle for equality among blacks and whites in America.
Obama said King's speech inspired millions of Americans to fight for a more just society and rights that people now take for granted.
"To dismiss the magnitude of this progress, to suggest, as some sometimes do, that little has changed, that dishonors the courage, the sacrifice of those who paid the price to march in those years," Obama said.
"But we would dishonor those heroes as well to suggest that the work of this nation is somehow complete," he said, calling economic justice the "unfinished business" of the civil rights battle.
Marchers, many wearing T-shirts with King's face on them, began their walk near the U.S. Capitol.
They were led by a line of military veterans and people who had been at the 1963 march, their arms linked. People sang "We Shall Overcome" and other civil rights anthems.
Fighting restrictive voting rights laws that Democrats say hurt minorities, combating joblessness and reducing gun violence among African Americans are among the issues that civil rights leaders put at the forefront of their efforts in 2013.
"This march was supposed to be about jobs, but it's about a lot more," said marcher Ash Mobley, 27, of Washington, who said she was there to represent her grandmother, who had been at the 1963 event.
The marchers heard speeches from former presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter and members of King's family on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, the site of King's address on August 28, 1963.
A bell rang at 3 p.m. EDT, 50 years to the minute after King ended his clarion call of the civil rights movement with the words "Let freedom ring."
Bernice King, his youngest child, urged the crowd to stay true to the ideals enunciated by her father.
"If freedom is going to ring in Libya, in Syria, in Egypt, in Florida, then we must reach across the table, feed each other and let freedom ring," she said.
Obama's address commemorating King, a Nobel Peace Prize winner and advocate of non-violence, comes as the White House edges closer to launching military strikes in Syria in response to what U.S. officials say they believe was a chemical weapons attack by the Syrian government on civilians.
Obama has said the country's history of racial discrimination had contributed to a persistent economic gap between blacks and whites in the decades since King's speech.
Obama, whose mother was white and whose father was black, has sometimes seemed reluctant to weigh in on persistent racial divides in the United States, but he spoke forcefully about the issue last month after the man who killed black Florida teenager Trayvon Martin was acquitted.
The "Let Freedom Ring and Call to Action" ceremony comes as almost half of Americans say much more needs to be done before the color-blind society King envisioned is realized.
Wednesday's event caps a week-long celebration of King's historic call for racial and economic justice. They included a march on Saturday that drew thousands of people urging action on jobs, voting rights and gun violence.
King's speech is credited with helping spur passage of sweeping civil rights laws. A white prison escapee assassinated him in 1968.

UNDATED -- They say there's strength in numbers. There is no doubt you'll see powerful images today, reminiscent of the hand-holding from 50 years ago. The people gathering in Washington come from all walks of life - each with different life goals but as a collective, they encourage, inspire and empower me.
It astounds me that the most repeated, discussed and admired parts of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech were unscripted. There was a certain self-fulfilling prophesying quality to them. So with this historic anniversary, try this:
My grandfather and parents came to this country pursuing the immigrant American dream. They had to believe life would be better in America, the future would be brighter for generations to come. And it is.
I grew up on an island where people have said we were 10 or even 30 years ahead in terms of diversity compared to the mainland. Guam was majority minority - and for the most part, we celebrated each other's backgrounds and took pride in the fact we were a melting pot. Census data shows the US will become more than 50% of color by 2050.
I have a dream one day we won't even have to bring up race in a politicized context. I dream of a day when we won't have racially charged misunderstandings, arguments and clashes.
President Barack Obama, who some argue could not sit in White House were it not for the black civil rights movement, ran his first term on a platform of hope. As we document this day where he speaks by the Lincoln Memorial, let us remember another word going forward: BELIEVE.
As Mr. Obama remarks: "Because they marched, America became more fair and more free."
Let freedom ring and let dreams awaken us. I don't stop dreaming, and thinking big. After all, we won't know unless we try.

Vice loves the chance to provoke people (occasionally with memorable results) but this time we're 1) kind of impressed by how far they've gone and 2) kind of shocked no one's done it before*. In "There Will Be Blood," we have what looks like a typical Vice shoot–a mix of new and vintage fashions, unconventional models, unglamorous locations–and period stains. Yes, the subjects appear to be menstruating.
The editorial was shot by a woman named Emma Arvida Bystrom who–based on a rough Google translation of her blogspot–seems very interested in the representation of women in media, especially beauty ideals (and, it would seem, subverting them). On the one hand, the images show nothing more than biological function and are only shocking because we never see things like this. On the other, some just seem like gory sensationalism.
So. Is this interesting or not? Is it provocation for provocation's sake? We expect a few of you to note that just because it's natural doesn't mean one wants to see it in a magazine.
Be warned.

Bob Drake's Steel '40 FordWritten by on January 1, 2012 The 2012 Road Tour begins
For a number of years rumors have swirled around about a new '40 Ford coupe body that was going to be produced. Some industry "experts" just knew it was coming out of an old MIG factory in the former Czech Republic, others were sure it was being built in South America, or maybe it was South Africa. In any case it wasn't long before all the smart money was betting that Bob Drake was the man behind the project, even though no official statement had been made. The more savvy insiders concluded Drake was not about to announce the project until he knew beyond a shadow of a doubt it could be delivered. Well the word's officially out, the announcement has been made, and Drake is delivering. In fact he's delivering a new steel '40 Ford to Street Rodder magazine to be built by Hollywood Hot Rods as the 2012 Road Tour car.
Most enthusiasts understand Ford built two versions of the coupe in 1940, the Standard and DeLuxe. A number of differences set them apart—the Standard had a grille that looked similar to a '39, the nose of the hood was slightly broader and it lacked the bulges low on the side that blended into the grille that were found on the DeLuxe. There were additional indicators inside and the Standard only had one taillight, but for the most part the differences between the Standard and DeLuxe are clear. What does cause confusion is the difference between an Opera Coupe and a Business Coupe—the fact is they are one in the same. The two versions of the coupe configuration in both Standard and DeLuxe trim are the five-window coupe and the Business Coupe.
The reason for the misunderstanding is the five-window coupe came with a large package tray behind the seat that had storage space below while the Business Coupe came equipped with two sideways-facing jump seats in the rear; just the opposite of what would be expected. Eventually the public referred to the Business Coupe as the Opera Coupe, which really confused the issue. Now to add just one more designation: passenger cars in 1940 with the 60hp V-8 were model 022A; those with the 85hp V-8 were designated as 01A. Coupes with the 85hp engine would be designated as follows:
'40 Ford Standard five-window coupe, 01A-77A
'40 Ford Standard Business Coupe, 01A-67A
'40 Ford DeLuxe five-window coupe, 01A-77B
'40 Ford DeLuxe Business Coupe, 01A-67B
If you're wondering about the importance of all this it's because of the difference in the floor pan between the five-window and the Business Coupe. Drake's body is the five-window style and the jump seats won't fit without modifications to the floor.
One look at the these new bodies and it's obvious Drake has made every effort to duplicate what Ford produced in the manner it was done back then. However, there is one exception; when Ford stamped the roofs they were one piece, including the upper cowl section, windshield posts, and the top down to the trunklid opening. For a number of reasons Drake's tops are made in four pieces, the upper cowl, windshield posts, and the top are stamped separately then welded together.
Although bodies are shipped from the factory fully assembled, Drake does stock all the individual sheetmetal components for those who have a '40 coupe in need of repair. Everything from complete doors and quarter-panels to drip rails and glovebox doors (with and without clock openings) are available.
On the subject of options there are a number to choose from in individual parts and complete bodies. Stock and recessed firewalls are available, inner front panels are available stock or notched for IFS, and dashboards are available with the original cutouts for gauges, radio speaker and glovebox, glovebox only, no speaker cut out, and A/C outlets are an option in the original ashtray locations.
With everything available to build a brand-new car, Drake makes the point that this is a great opportunity to build a '40 as a second car. "The '40 Ford coupe's pure classic styling and all-weather driveability make it a perfect investment for practical, year-round family fun, or just driving to work," Drake says. We agree; driving one of these every day would be a lot more fun than anything else we can think of. By combining the '40s classic looks with modern chassis components and convenience accessories you'd have the best of old and new.
To see what it takes to build a reproduction '40 stay with us as we build next year's AMSOIL/Street Rodder Road Tour with a new Drake coupe.
Bob Drake's new reproduction '40 Ford body has been displayed at a variety of street rod events. Here are the questions the Drake staff are asked most often:
Street Rodder: What gauge metal is the body? Bob Drake: 19 gauge
SR: How much is the body, and what is included in this price?
BD: Our introductory price is $14,500. This includes the complete body shell, full floor, choice of firewall (stock or 5-inch recess), cowl, roof with rain gutters, quarter-panels, hinged doors and decklid, and all the inner structure and bracing, all assembled and welded in place.
SR: What frame do you recommend?
BD: We built our bodies to fit on original Ford frames. There are quality aftermarket frames available, but we have not tested them yet.
SR: How are the rain gutters attached?
BD: Just like the original '40, sandwiched and spot-welded between the quarter-panel flanges and the roof flange.
SR: Is everything available aftermarket to complete the car?
BD: The only major sheetmetal piece left to complete the car is the hood. We have patterned the deluxe hood first and it will be in production soon, then we will begin the work on the standard hood.
SR: How do I title my car?
BD: Each state has laws concerning titles and registrations. You will have to check with your local DMV to file the appropriate paperwork.
SR: Are there sheetmetal pieces available to repair the coupe I already have?
BD: Yes, we make a full line of repair panels that are identical to the originals. Everything from floors to quarters to firewalls, you have all the correct shape and thickness to repair the coupe.
The .01 percent answer
The left-hand door has been fitted with a lock cylinder mount, which the originals lacked. This way you can lock the door from the outside without having to use the inside handle and slide out the passenger side.

There's no mistaking what this car is from this angle, the only question is who made it? Again, note the seams between the tail pan and quarter-panels. Stockers had them but they were leaded at the factory; these will also require filler of some sort.While the outside is certainly impressive, when you look inside the body you get a real feel for how many parts are required to make something like this from scratch, such as inner panels, reinforcements of all kinds, door latches and operating mechanisms, window regulators, and the list goes on.Nothing has been overlooked up to and including the bracket on the body support that the spare tire attaches to. Reinforcement ribs in the floor and wheelhouses are the same as stock, as is the channel for the trunklid's weather seal.These are roof parts used in the modeling process; they're made of foam. Of all the main body parts, the roof is the only one made differently from the way Ford did it.Looking at these fenders makes us wonder why anyone would spend time trying to bring thrashed originals back to life. Drake's reproductions fit '39 DeLuxe and all '40 passenger cars.Here is the very first coupe body in the assembly jig (photo courtesy of Bob Drake). While these bodies are stamped and assembled offshore, Drake has had key staff members overseeing the operation since day one.Replacement doorskins are available, as are complete doors. Hinges, latches, window regulators, dovetails, and handles will also be found in Drake's catalog.Along with complete bodies, Drake is offering individual parts to repair stock bodies, including floor pans and rocker sills. The floor pan is for the five-window coupe. It will fit the convertible and the Business Coupe with some modifications.
Firewalls are offered in a variety of configurations; stock as shown here and with a 5-1/2-inch recess. (Photo courtesy of Bob Drake.)Those who have tried to make a '40 hood fit and operate correctly with worn-out hinges will appreciate Drake's all-new assemblies. They're available in black steel and polished stainless steel.Trunklids come with the correct inner structure and captured nuts to attach stock-style hinges. Holes are drilled for the trunk handle, license plate bracket, and the emblem. For '39s a few additional holes are required for the handle. (Photo courtesy of Bob Drake.)

Labor Support: What You Need to Know
What is labor support?
Why is support in labor important to consider?
Would I still benefit from having a labor support companion if I think I will want an epidural or other pain medication?
Who might provide me with supportive care during labor and birth?
What is labor support?
Throughout the ages, in nearly all societies for which we have records, women have been helped and comforted in labor by other women. These women stayed throughout labor providing physical comfort, emotional reassurance, and information. Today, labor support professionals called doulas (DOO-lah; Greek for "woman who serves") are trained to provide the comfort and care women need during labor.
Why is support in labor important to consider?Every woman hopes for her birth experience to be as positive as possible. But women may feel that asking for support and kind treatment in labor shows they are less concerned about safety than a mother should be. In fact, planning for excellent support in labor is an effective way to make birth safer and healthier for you and your baby.
Research shows that the availability of support in labor can affect your chances of having a cesarean, vacuum extraction, or forceps delivery; the likelihood that you will need pain medications; and your baby's condition at birth. Labor support can help you avoid or reduce risks associated with these interventions.
Research also shows that having good support can affect how you feel about your birth, and that memories of childbirth experiences often stay with women throughout their lives. (For more details about labor support's remarkable benefits - and lack of any known risks - follow through this section to the Best Evidence: Labor Support page.)
Would I still benefit from having a labor support companion if I think I will want an epidural or other pain medication?Women who plan to use pain medications could also appreciate having a labor support companion for many reasons:
Who might provide me with supportive care during labor and birth?Research says that having support from a doula or other labor support companion who is present solely to provide continuous support has the most benefits. Others who may be important sources of support are your partner, your clinical caregivers, and friends or family members.
The Options: Labor Support page reviews the pros and cons of each type of labor support companion.

We currently have several Zimbra servers 2 of which are running the latest v8 server and the latest clients. No issue there.
Our 3rd server is running v6.x of the server and has about 100 users on it but the clients are all using v6.0.6058.8 of the connector. My question is this. I need to get this server upgraded to v8 right away but I will not be able to upgrade all of the users to the v8 connector before the server is upgraded. So, can I upgrade the server and expect the users that are running the v6 connector will still work ok until they can be manually upgraded later?

FY2012 Spending Bills for Mental Illness Research, Services and Housing Move Forward
October 3, 2011
With the new federal fiscal year that began October 1, 2011, Congress is making slow progress in advancing spending bills to cover federal discretionary programs, including mental illness research, services and housing programs. It is likely to be several weeks before these bills are finished and combined into an "omnibus appropriations" bill for FY 2012. In the meantime, Congress has put into place a temporary "continuing resolution" to keep all discretionary programs operating at current FY 2011 levels through November 18, 2011.
Neither the House nor the Senate is expected to act on their spending bills in October. Instead each side is expected to negotiate with the Obama Administration on specific funding levels and agree on a single omnibus spending bill that would go to the President shortly before the November 18 deadline.
It is important to note that all of these federal discretionary programs are subject to strict limits that are now in place as part of the debt limit extension agreement reached between the President and Congress in August. These caps will limit overall spending for FY 2012 at or near FY 2011 levels and will restrict discretionary spending for the coming decade. As a result, most programs will be frozen at FY 2011 levels and in many cases cut in order to accommodate increases in other programs.
Read further for a detailed analysis of proposed FY 2012 funding levels for mental illness research, services and housing programs.
Mental Illness Research at NIMH
The draft Senate Labor-HHS bill for FY 2012 would impose the first reduction for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in decades – cutting funding by $190 million. This is a limited reduction given the overall $30.8 billion budget for NIH. Within NIH, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) would see a slight $17 million reduction under the Senate bill to $1.46 billion. By contrast, the House bill would fully fund the President's FY 2012 request of $1.571 billion, which is $40 million above the current FY 2011 level of $1.477 million.
It is important to note that under either proposal, NIMH will continue to struggle to adequately fund research protocols in FY 2012, as even the President's budget holds NIMH below "medical research inflation" – the annual escalation in research cost. In addition, NIMH has nearly $700 million in "out-year" commitments (44% of the NIMH budget), that are multi-year grants for ongoing basic research and clinical studies. Holding the NIMH budget at or near a freeze for FY 2012 will likely lower the Institute's "pay-line" to 15 percent. In other words, 85 percent of "new and competing" research grants (that get through peer review and are deemed meritorious science) will not receive funding.
On a positive note, the report accompanying the Senate bill contains language specifically directing NIMH to develop and coordinate a research program to examine early mortality and medical co-morbidities experienced by adults living with serious mental illness, a major priority for NAMI. This language directs NIMH to work with other NIH institutes responsible for diabetes and heart disease on focused research on individuals living with serious mental illness:
Premature Mortality: The Committee continues to be concerned about premature mortality and lower life expectancy experienced by adults living with serious mental illness as result of treatable medical conditions such as cardiovascular, pulmonary, endocrine and infectious diseases. The Committee urges NIMH to collaborate with other institutes including NIDDK and NHLBI on a focused research program into the causes and interventions needed to address this crisis. The Committee requests an update on this topic in the fiscal year 2013 budget justification.
Mental Health Services at SAMHSA
Funding for most mental health services programs for FY 2012 at the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) would be frozen at current (FY 2011) levels in both the House and Senate bills. This includes the Mental Health Block Grant (MHBG) program at $421 million. Neither the draft FY 2012 House nor Senate bills include the President's proposal to boost funding for the MHBG by $14 million. However, this increase was intended to hold the program harmless for an expected data infrastructure "tap," a $14 million assessment to enhance data collection methods. Other programs subject to a freeze at current levels in both bills are the Children's Mental Health program ($117.8 million) and the PATH program ($65 million), an outreach and engagement program for homeless individuals living with mental illness. The draft Senate bill also continues the SAMHSA "primary-behavioral health integration" grant program at $62.8 million. This is an important initiative designed, in part, to integrate primary medical care into specialty settings such as CMHCs to address chronic medical conditions experienced by people living with serious mental illness.
At the same time, the draft House bill does impose a substantial $166 million cut to the Projects of Regional National Significance (PRNS) account at SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health Services. This account funds a variety of ongoing service demonstration and technical assistance activities at the agency. For FY 2011, PRNS was funded at $349.9 million. It is unclear at this point which activities within PRNS would be discontinued under the House bill. Neither the House nor the Senate bill funds proposed initiatives from the Obama Administration on new mental health prevention grants ($90 million).
Housing & Homelessness Programs
FY 2012 funding for housing and homelessness programs is included in the Transportation-HUD Appropriations bill. Both the House and Senate Appropriations Committees have moved their versions of the "T-HUD" bill forward. The House bill fully funds the President's request for the HUD Section 811 program at $196 million for FY 2012.
HUD Section 811 program provides capital advance grants and project-based operating assistance to non-profit disability organizations to develop permanent supportive housing for non-elderly people with disabilities, including serious mental illness. By contrast, the draft Senate bill freezes Section 811 at its current FY 2011 level of $150 million. Within this total, both bills allocate $85 million to renew (and make amendments to) existing project-based assistance contacts (PRACs) that cover the operating costs of current 811 units. While the level in the Senate bill is lower, it does direct HUD to allocate as much as $65 million in funding for new units to the "PRAC-only" option authorized in the Frank Melville Supportive Housing Investment Act that passed Congress in 2010. This would allow Section 811 to develop as many 2,000 new units in FY 2012, as opposed to fewer than 500 new units under the existing capital advance-PRAC model.
Both the House and Senate bills allocate $1.9 billion for programs under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act. This is below the $2.37 billion proposed level in the President's FY 2012 budget. Both the House and Senate bills do fund the President's request for an additional $75 million for rental vouchers for the joint HUD-VA VASH program, which provides supportive housing and services for homeless veterans. Neither the House nor the Senate bill funds the President's request for $56.9 million for a joint HUD-HHS initiative for to assist both homeless families and chronically homeless individuals. This would have funded as many as 7,500 rental vouchers, to go along with services provided by HHS, including SAMHSA.
Social Security Administrative Funding
Monthly Social Security benefits (including SSI and SSDI cash assistance) are mandatory programs funded outside of annual discretionary appropriations bills. However, the Social Security Administration's Limitation on Administrative Expenses (LAE) budget is funded annually as a discretionary program. This funds local SSA offices as well as state DDS (disability determination) offices that adjudicate claims and appeals for SSI and SSDI benefits. Adequate funding for the SSA LAE is therefore critical to ensuring that the agency and the DDS offices have the capacity to hear claims and appeals for eligibility and serve current beneficiaries in a timely fashion.
For FY 2012, the President proposed an LAE level of $12.4 billion, a $1 billion increase over the FY 2011 level of $11.4 billion. The draft Senate Labor-HHS bill includes an LAE of $11.63 billion and proposes an increase of $139 million for "program integrity" which includes funding for "continuing disability reviews" (CDRs) for current beneficiaries.
Criminal Justice Programs
The Mentally Ill Offender Treatment and Crime Reduction Act (MIOTCRA) authorizes funding for grants to facilitate collaboration among criminal justice and mental health systems to improve access to treatment for people living with severe mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders who are involved with criminal justice systems. These grants fund a variety of programs, including CIT, jail diversion, Mental Health Courts and community reentry services.
In FY 2011, $9.6 million in funding was provided for the MIOTCRA program. The Senate Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Agencies (CJS) bill contains $9 million in funding for MIOTCRA in FY 12. The House CJS bill contains $9.9 million in funding for MIOTCRA in FY 12. Both the Senate and the House rejected a proposal by the Obama Administration to consolidate the MIOTCRA program into a broad, "problem-solving court" initiative. NAMI opposed the Administration's proposal because of concerns that this consolidation would have jeopardized funding for mental health and substance use specific programs.

As ordered reported by the House Committee on Ways and Means on September 13, 2012
H.J. Res. 118 would disapprove the rule submitted by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) on July 12, 2012, that modifies the waiver authority with respect to work requirements in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program (TANF). H.J. Res. 118 would invoke a legislative process established by the Congressional Review Act (Public Law 104-121) to disapprove the new waiver authority rule. If H.J. Res. 118 is enacted, the rule would have no force or effect.
CBO estimates that enacting the resolution would reduce direct spending by $59 million over the 2013-2022 period. (The resolution would not affect revenues.) Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation would affect direct spending.
CBO does not expect that implementing the resolution would have any significant effect on spending subject to appropriation.
The joint resolution contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
