Questions and Problems
Section 5.2
1. What are the four layers of the TCP/IP model?
i. Application – Defines the applications used to process requests and what ports and sockets are used.
I. (This layer is used to process requests from hosts and to make sure a connection is made to an appropriate port.)
ii. Transport – Defines the type of connection established between hosts and how acknowledgements are sent.
iii. Internet – Defines the protocols used for addressing and routing the data packets.
iv. Network Interface – Defines how the host connects to the network.
2. Which layer of the TCP/IP model processes requests from hosts to make sure a connection is made to the appropriate port?
i. Application Layer
3. What are well known ports?
i. Also known as "reserve ports", which are ports 1 – 1023 that are reserved by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).

1723 PPTP - (Point-To-Point Tunneling Protocol)
5. Define the purpose of a connection oriented protocol. Give an example.
i. Establishes the network connection, manages the data transfer, and terminates the connection.
I. Connection Oriented Protocol – Establishes a network connection, manages the delivery of data, and terminates the connection.
ii. The TCP (Transport Control Protocol) protocol within the TCP/IP transport layer.
I. TCP protocol establishes a set of rules or guidelines for establishing the connection.
6. What three packets are exchanged between two hosts when establishing a TCP connection?
i. SYN – (Synchronizing Packet)
ii. SYN ACK – (Synchronizing Acknowledgement Packet)
iii. ACK– (Acknowledgement Packet)
7. What is the purpose of a sequence number (SEQ=) in TCP data packets?
i. SEQ (Sequence Number) is used to keep track of the data packets being transferred from Host A to Host B.
8. Explain how a host knows whether a data packet was not received
i. A SYN ACK packet is sent back to the host– The ACK is an acknowledgement that Host B received the pack from Host A. There is a number attached to the ACK with a value of (x+1) [where "x" is the SEQ (Sequence Number).] that should be the sum of the SEQ# from packet 1 plus the length (LEN) of packet 1.
9. Describe how a TCP connection is terminated.
i. The host sends a FIN (Finish) packet to the other connected host.
1. Host B sends a FIN packet to Host A indicating the data transmission is complete.
2. Host A responds with an ACK packet acknowledging the reception of the FIN packet.
3. Host A then sends Host B a FIN packet indicating that the connection is being terminated.
4. Host B replies with an ACK packet.
10. What is a connectionless protocol? Give an example.
i. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) Protocol is a connectionless protocol.
ii. UDP packets are transported over the network without a connection being established and without any acknowledgment that the data packets arrived at the destination.
11. What is the purpose of the Internet layer in the TCP/IP protocol suite?
i. It defines the protocols used for addressing and routing the data packets.
I. Examples – IP, ARP, ICMP, & IGMP.
1. IP (Internet Protocol) – Defines the addressing used to identify the source and destination addresses of data packets being delivered over an IP network
2. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) – Used to map an IP address to its MAC address.
3. ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) – Used to control the flow of data in the network, for reporting error, and for performing diagnostics.
a. Contains "Ping" (packet Internet groper) troubleshooting tool.
4. IGMP (Internet Group Message Protocol) – Used when one host needs to send data to many destination hosts.
a. This process is called Multicasting.
b. Example - Streaming (audio and video) - data is sent without waiting for an acknowledgement that the data packets were delivered.
12. What is the purpose of an ARP request?
i. A BROADCAST message is sent to all networking devices asking which network interface has the specific IP address detailed in the ARP query that was sent.
I. ARP – is used to resolve an IP address to a hardware address for final delivery of data packets to the destination. ARP issues a query in a network called an ARP request asking which network interface has this IP address
13. What is the purpose of an ARP reply?
i. A reply from the host assigned the IP address replies with an ARP reply.
I. ARP Reply - The protocol that contains the hardware address (MAC address) for the destination host that sent the ARP request.
14. What important networking –troubleshooting tool is part of ICMP, and how does it test a network connection?
i. Ping – Packet Internet Groper
I. The ping command uses a series of echo requests, and the networking device receiving the echo requests responds with a series of echo replies to test a network connection.
15. When is IGMP used?
i. IGMP is used when multicasting (when one host wants to send data to many destination hosts). The source doesn't care whether the destination receives a packet.
I. Example – Steaming audio and video files over the internet.
16. The network interface layer of the TCP/IP model defines how the host connects to what network?
i. Ethernet, Token-Ring network, or a router connected to a frame relay wide area network.
I. Not dictated by the TCP/IP protocol
II. Every TCP/IP data packet must have a destination and source MAC address in the TCP/IP header.

Hello, this is Brett with Bee Solutions LLC. I just recently finished a deal with a major landowner in Jefferson County, Texas, to lease 10,000 acres of tallow trees. Some of this area is now in production for rice and crawfish, but most of it is fallow. There are quite a large number of commercial migratory beekeepers who come here to replace their queens and make up their losses before going north for the summer. The last couple of years, more and more are staying to make the tallow honey in late May and early June. Bee Solutions LLC of Silsbee, TX, is planning on sub-leasing this land and managing it for tallow honey. If you know any of these beekeepers, I would appreciate it if you pass this information along.
The land is located off of Interstate 10 between Winnie, Texas, and Beaumont, Texas, and Highway 73 between Winnie, Texas, and Port Arthur, Texas.

Clearfield Progress (Newspaper) - June 30, 1966, Clearfield, Pennsylvania /c/ea/ Weather Greets Clearfield Sale BY GEORGE A.SCOTT, EDITOR OF THE PROGRESS Education in Focus Today's Chuckle College years: The only vacation a boy gets between his mother and his wife, Vol. 60 - No. 154 Our 56th Year Clearfield, Curwensville, Philipsburg, Moshannon Valley, Pa., Thursday, June 30, 1966 15,155 Copies Daily 24 PAGES TODAY Summer Schooling fuef Pepofs V/i Mi/es from Capital Attacked... A new chapter in public school education ii being written in the Clearfield Area this summer. Instead of standing idle during the months of June, July and August, school buildings are being used for special summer-time classes and more than 1,000 preschool youngsters, elementary, junior and senior high school pupils of the area are attending classes designed to give them a head start as they enter school, remedy deficiencies that cropped up in the regular school term or to enrich their cultural knowledge. In the case of some of the pre-school classes, church facilities are being used and the classes are being sponsored by non-school committees. 27 at Lock Haven S. C. On top of all this, 27 boys and girls who will be in the 11th and 12th grades of Clearfield County schools come September are among 90 students from a nine-county area participating in a unique pre-college study program at Lock Haven State College that began June 20 and will last for eight weeks this summer. Who are benefitting from these programs? Generally speaking, they come from low income families and are classed as economically and educationally deprived. Not all, however, fall in the category of a low income family. Even in the pre-school classes, 10 per cent of the over-all total of children may come from middle income families and the programs for elementary and secondary school pupils can include young folks who have fallen behind and need extra instruction because of poor foundations in the basic sciences of reading, mathematics, etc., or who can benefit from cultural enrichment programs involving music and art. There are three summer-time programs of education in operation in the Clearfield Area - Head Start, a child development program for pre-school age children; "Title I" programs for elementary and secondary pupils; and the previously-mentioned pre-college or "Upward Bound," as it is called, program for prospective juniors and seniors in high school. All three programs are made possible, with a minimum of local cast, through two Acts of Congress - the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. The EOA of 1964 provides most of the funds for Head Start and Upward Bound programs; the ESEA of 1965 provides the funds for the school-sponsored programs for elementary and secondary pupils. Pre-School Classes There are Head Start programs of eight weeks or more duration for the four, five and six-year-olds under way or starting next Tuesday in six Clearfield County areas plus the Purchase Line School District of Indiana County which includes five Clearfield County boroughs and townships. These include classes for such youngsters at Arcadia (Indiana County), Curwensville, DuBois, French-ville, Grampian, Houtzdale, Karthaus, Lanse, Morrisdale, Osceola Mills and the Jefferson County communities of Falls Creek, -Reynoldsville and Sykesville. The "Title I" programs, so-called because that is the first section of the 1965 ESEA'* are being carried out this summer in the Clearfield, Curwensville, DuBois, Glendale, Harmony, Moshannon Valley and Purchase Line School Districts and will be continued through the 1966-67 school year. Philipsburg-Osceola Area School District has an extensive program set up but it will not start until the regular school term begins in September. The two acts differ in procedures and sponsoring organizations, but both express the same philosophy and seek to implement that philosophy in similar ways. Basically, this philosophy recognizes that poverty exists "in the midst of plenty in this nation" and seeks to eliminate these pockets and individual cases of poverty by helping people, especially young folks, to better their conditions of living through self-help programs of education, job training and employment. The Head Start and ESEA programs deserve and command separate articles to explain their aims and how they are programmed to attain them. These will be forthcoming in the next two weeks. The Upward Bound Meanwhile, let's take a look at the Upward Bound project, now under way at Lock Haven State College. Now in their second summer of operation, Upward Bound projects are intended to remedy poor preparation and motivation of the youths involved and thus increase their chances for acceptance and success in a college after graduation from high school. In the words of Dr. Richard T. Frost, director of the.Upward Bound program in the Office of Economic Opportunity, Upward Bound seeks "to induce college-capable young people, not headed toward higher education, to shift gears and get on the 'college track'." The students attending Lock Haven State College's program this summer were recommended by their high school principals and guidance counselors and selected after personal interviews. Family incomes set by the Office of Economic Opportunity for eligibility for the program range from $1,500 for a family with one child to $5,000 for a family with more than seven among non-farm households and from $1,090 to $3,500 for farm families with one to more than seven children. While at Lock Haven, the 90 boys and girls are participating in studies aimed at strengthening their academic ability, activities such as student government, theatre production and opportunities for leadership aimed at enhancing motivation, fine arts and other cultural enr richment programs, and in physical'activities and health services. Although the summer program is only of eight weeks duration, a follow-up program of counselling and tutoring in after school or weekend sessions will be conducted throughout the coming school year by Lock Haven and high school faculty members for each of the Upward Bound students. All Expenses Paid All expenses of each student, including tuition, room, board, books, cost of field trips, etc., even a modest amount of pocket money, are paid by OEO. Total cost of the Lock Haven program has been budgeted at $137,-544 with the cost per student amounting to approximately $1,528. The OEO supported 18 Upward Bound pilot projects las* summer and says if believes that when fully evaluated the projects will show "that a student with a normal, functional intelligence can, with special encouragement and increased motivation, succeed in college; that a major feature of such success is a student's sense that somebody cares about him; that most Upward Bound students need a sharply improved self-image." Final evaluation of the 1965 program and this summer's expanded programs cannot be made, of course, until the students involved finally reach a college campus a year or more from now. Bombers Strike Near Hanoi Again By EDWIN Q. WHITE -SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) - American bombers attacked Communist fuel depots in the vicinity of Hanoi for the second straight day today, the U. S. command announced. Both Navy and Air Force planes participated in the raids, which hit fuel dumps around the capital of Communist North Viet Nam. the closest raid today to Hanoi was seven and a half miles from the capital, a U. S. spokesman said. Wednesday, in their closest penetration to Hanoi. Air Force bombers smashed a big fuel depot only three miles from the heart of the city. There was no immediate estimate of the damage done by the raiders. An Air Force spokesman said no Communist MIG jets were sighted and no surface-to-air missiles were fired before the American planes roared away. The raids continued the American strategy designed to deprive the North Vietnamese army of its vital fuel supplies and thus hamper its movement oi men and supplies to the Viet Cong in South Viet Nam. Earlier U.S. military officials proclaimed the attacks Wednesday on the fuel depots at Hanoi and Haiphong a spectacular success, and an Air Force general termed them the "most significant, most important strike of the war." "This ought to prove that we can take out any military target we want to. although this is no sign that we will do that." added Maj. Gen. Gilbert L. Meyers, deputy commander of the 7th U.S. Air Force. Today, the U.S. command announced. Navy planes attacked a key radar site 38 miles north of Hanoi and a fuel dump 25 miles north of the capital in the area of Bac Giang, while Air Force F105 Thunderchiefs attacked the Nguyen Khe fuel depot seven and a half miles north of Hanoi and the Viet Tri fuel dump 28 miles northwest of the Red Capital. Hard fighting was reported 50 to 60 miles north of Saigon today after an estimated 2.000 of the enemy swooped down on an American armored reconnaissance squadron of about 770 men in tanks and armored per- sonnel carriers on Highway No. 13. The U.S. 1st Infantry Division rushed up reinforcements by helicopter and truck, and low-flying American planes hit the enemy with bombs, rockets and machine-gun fire. Spotter pilots estimated that between 200 and 400 of the enemy possibly were killed by the air attacks.

McNamara said inflicted heavy da.nage on the facilities which represented o- ?r 60 per cent of North Viet Nam's remaining oil storage capacity. He said one American plane was downed. McNamara told a news conference that every effort was made to prevent harm to civilians and to avoid destruction of nonmilitary facilities. But a North Vietnamese army communique charged the U.S. planes "indiscriminately bombed and strafed residential and economic areas, causing human and material losses to our people." It made no mention of damage to the vital oil storage complexes. Vice President Tfurjert "'"H."' Humphrey countered this claim with a declaration that "no civilian casualties resulted." He told a news conference in Detroit "the bombings were conducted under very careful control and amazing precision." He said he doubted the bombings would escalate the war and said the decision was to "bomb military targets for military reasons and with military efficiency." He said American allies, including Britain, were told of the decision in advance of the air strikes.

Drafting of Younger Men Is Recommended By BOB HORTON WASHINGTON (AP) - A long-awaited Defense Department study concluded today that the draft, should be redesigned to induct the youngest eligible men first and not men nearest 26 - "those who are the most settled in their careers." The change would shift the emphasis to the 19-20 age bracket. "Combat commanders prefer the younger age group" the study said, "and about eight of 10 volunteers are in the - age group under 20."

Carl Maehr, son of Mrs. Marion Maehr of 113 N. Eighth St., was taken to the Philipsburg Stale General Hospital by Bernard Kizina, a passing motorist. He was treated for brush burns of both knees and re-leased. He was to return to the hospital today for x-rays of the left foot. Police Officer Robert Trump said that Carl, with three other young bicyclists, was traveling east on Presqueisle Street and started to turn left on Seventh Street. Larry E. Orndorff, 18. of Sandy Ridge, who was drhing his car east on Presqueisle Street, told the officer he saw four bicycle riders in front of him and that three had crossed traffic to make the left turn onto Seventh Street. Orndorff said The study, presented to the House Armed Services Committee by Asst. Secretary of Defense Thomas D. Morris, made these other principal points: -The United States can not look forward to discontinuing the draft in the next decade unless changing world conditions reduce needs substantially below the force levels required since Korea. -An all-volunteer force cannot be justified because it would cost anywhere between SI billion and SI" billion to increase military pay enouch to attract the volunteers needed even for a pre-Vict Nam force of 2 7 million. More than 3 million are in service now. -The present deferment system is "basically sound." Morris, in charge of manpower for the Defense Department, testified as the committee wound up its hearings into the operations of the Selective Service System. The Pentagon study was ordered by President Johnson two years ago but had not been made public, despite some grumbling from Congress.

Anywhere but your foot. Because that is too funny and way too hard to explain!
This is a discussion on Safe muzzle direction when chambering. within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Not 100% sure this is the right forum for this, if not, feel free to move it. My question concerns what is considered a 'safe' ...
Not 100% sure this is the right forum for this, if not, feel free to move it. My question concerns what is considered a 'safe' direction to point the muzzle when chambering a round.
I live in a two story house and the room I keep my gun in is directly over my family room. When chambering a round, I'd like to be especially careful to keep the muzzle pointed in an safe direction since there's a higher risk of unintentional discharge during such handling.
Pointing down would put the round through the floor into my family room. Pointing at any wall could go through the outer wall of my house and into the neighbors' houses.
So I got to thinking, what about pointing straight up?
I recognize that there's an urban myth that bullets fired straight up can kill when they come back down, but mythbusters actually proved this only occurs if the trajectory is at an angle, not straight up. Would this be a viable 'safe' direction?
And if not, anyone have any better suggestions?

In the service we use a clearing box.....it's basically a box with a small opening on one side, usually filled with rubber balls, specifically made for being fired into.
That would be my suggestion.
No spell-checker with Tapatalk, sorry.
A decent size cardboard box packed tight with old phone books will do the trick. You should be able to collect a pile of those for free from relatives and neighbors.
A 5gal paint bucket full of sand can do, for a make-shift backstop. Or, there are some commercially sold items available that are designed for this purpose, allowing you to more-safely check a firearm while indoors where innocents are nearby.I live in a two story house and the room I keep my gun in is directly over my family room.
Pointing down would put the round through the floor into my family room. Pointing at any wall could go through the outer wall of my house and into the neighbors' houses.
You could always have your "check" area be downstairs (or basement). Or, have the muzzle pointed toward a wall at an angle where the line of sight would go over any nearby home. Ain't nothin' for certain, short of enclosing yourself in a vault prior to handling.
Kudos on thinking about it. Many don't.

Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Just leave one in the pipe all the time... I consider it a lot safer than loading and unloading all the time.
Now all I have to do is convince my wife that a 5 gallon bucket of sand in the bedroom goes with the decor...
You buy a big giant artificial palm tree and put that in a 10 gallon pail of sand. Put your Bobble Head favorite baseball players on the mantle and a Day-Glo painting on black velvet of Elvis on the wall right next to the Wife's Pom Poms from High School and your vintage Hula Hoop collection...and you're good to go.
You could mount it on a shelf in the closet, it would be out of sight, out of the way, and unlike a cardboard box full of phone books or a bucket full of sand, it will actually work when you need it to.
What about doing so outside (backyard, maybe?) ... pointed in a safe direction of course, like the grass,etc.

Harryball and I were discussing something like this the other night.
Once I initally load my firearm it stays loaded all the time. When I get up in the morning I drop the mag and do a chamber check, reinsert the mag and holster my weapon. I know the weapon is still loaded but simply do a chamber check for my own piece of mind. In your case if you could not do that the easiest thing would be to do the phone book/newpapers in the bottom of the closet idea if you feel that it is needed.
As long as you don't pull the bang switch normally the weapon will not go off by itself but you need to do what is comfortable for you.
"A first rate man with a third rate gun is far better than the other way around". The gun is a tool, you are the craftsman that makes it work. There are those who say "if I had to do it, I could" yet they never go out and train to do it. Don't let stupid be your mindset. Harryball 2013

Holy phone books batman. Those buggers cost a small fortune. Good call on the phone books.


text: On occasion, but happening more frequently, the starter hangs up for a a half-second or so after I've released the key. Since it does not happen all the time, the dealer can not find the problem nor can they find any bulletins about it. Have any of you had the same issue? Do you think it is anything to worry about? I guess the dealer can't fix it until it breaks completely, which doesn't make sense. Thanks

Kasprowicz stakes claim for Lee's spot
Page Tools
Michael Kasprowicz is congratulated by Andrew Symonds and keeper Brad Haddin after his match-winning, five-wicket haul against Pakistan.
Veteran Michael Kasprowicz has put speedster Brett Lee's place in Australia's one-day team in jeopardy with a superb five-wicket haul that pulled Australia from the edge of defeat to yet another victory over Pakistan at Lord's on Saturday.
Lee was one of the first to congratulate the 32-year-old Kasprowicz as he held the ball aloft in celebration of his 5-47 after Australia's engrossing 10-run win ahead of this month's Champion's Trophy in England.
But Lee finished with a profligate 1-67 from 10 overs after being given the new ball ahead of Kasprowicz.
He could well find himself the loser when Australia's vexing pace bowling equation is settled before their tournament starts next Monday, as a result of Kasprowicz's achievements - not just on Saturday but in the past eight months.
With Jason Gillespie and Glenn McGrath seemingly assured of their starting places, Australia will have to choose between Lee and Kasprowicz for its Champion's Trophy opener against qualifier United States.
And while Lee still has question marks over him - these early days of his comeback from ankle surgery and the proven risk of runs flying from the bat because of his express pace - the remarkable Kasprowicz simply appears to be bowling too well to be left out of the side.
With four overs left of Saturday's friendly, Pakistan could taste its first victory in six meetings with Australia - and only its fourth in 16.
This followed a record 162-run partnership from Inzamam-ul-Haq and Yousuf Youhana, which took Pakistan from 4-66 to 5-239 in pursuit of Australia's 6-269, made possible mainly by Andrew Symonds' blistering 104 off 103 balls.
Ricky Ponting had minutes before he recalled Lee for his last two overs, but the result was 24 runs conceded, including two no-balls in his last over. For the 47th over, the Australian captain threw the ball to Kasprowicz, and he grabbed three wickets in eight balls as Pakistan lost 6-31 off their last 22 deliveries, Australia winning with 10 balls to spare.
The Queenslander, included for a rested McGrath, claimed Youhana for 88 with the first ball, Shane Watson completing the catch at long-off, and after conceding a massive six to Abdur Razzaq, Kasprowicz rebounded next ball with a superb reflex caught-and-bowled, and Pakistan was teetering at 7-245.
A third wicket for the over fell on its last ball, with Ponting brilliantly running out Rana Naveed-ul-Hasan, and after Gillespie picked up his second wicket, Kasprowicz finished the match by bowling tailender Mohammad Sami.
Kasprowicz now has 18 wickets from eight one-dayers at only 12.5, including a five-wicket haul in Sri Lanka last February.

If you psn could send the to the email of that account a password change.

Last week, Columbia University touched off a firestorm not only in New York but around the world when Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gave a speech on campus. Many people expressed anger and even horror that a civilized, intellectual institution of higher learning would give a platform to someone that many regard as an agent of repression, terror and ignorance. Columbia President Lee Bollinger, well known in higher education for confronting difficult issues (his name is on the famous affirmative action cases involving the University of Michigan, where he was president prior to taking the helm at Columbia), compounded the controversy when he used the moment of his introduction of President Ahmadinejad to excoriate the Iranian President as a "petty and cruel dictator" with "ridiculous" and "preposterous" ideas (Ahmadinejad has denied the reality of the Holocaust.)
Many critics have applauded or lambasted both men. The New York Times supported Columbia. Rosa Brooks wrote a particularly pungent column in the L.A. Times. Critics of Columbia and Bollinger have said that the university had no business hosting a speaker who is hostile to the United States. One member of Congress has even introduced legislation to cut off funding to Columbia. Was Bollinger's opening salvo against Ahmadinejad just a ploy to appease his critics?
Should a university be able to host any speaker on earth, no matter how repugnant the person's ideas? Does the invitation itself convey some sort of legitimacy? Do the ground rules for creating the free speech forum include treating the speaker courteously, i.e., refraining from open hostility toward the speaker's ideas?
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. wrote one of the most famous statements about the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution in his dissenting opinion in U.S. v. Schwimmer, a 1929 case in which an immigrant woman, a pacifist, was denied citizenship because she refused to swear an oath of allegiance which included a declaration that she would "take up arms personally" if necessary to defend the United States. Justice Holmes wrote that the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of thought and expression protects "not free thought for those who agree with us but freedom for the thought that we hate…"
The university community is one of the great pillars of civilized society, along with Family, Government, Corporate Life and Church. Universities play a unique role in society as the places where freedom of thought and speech must flourish in order to advance higher learning and research on the way to the formation of new knowledge, a process that is continuous. While the First Amendment protects citizens against government limitations on speech and belief, American custom has long extended the idea of "freedom of speech" to many places, most importantly, to university campuses both public and private.
Some critics have said that, in recent years, higher education has become complacent, even afraid of allowing the robust expression of divergent ideas. College presidents have come under particular fire for being too cautious, too eager to please donors or lawmakers at the expense of free expression. (I have a lot of colleagues in this business who have told me that even my rather tame, middle-of-the-road expression of opinions on this blog would be far too much for their institutional contexts. Sad.)
University leaders must be good stewards of the climate for free expression. But does freedom of speech mean that every conceivable idea should be expressed? Hardly. The balance between freedom and prudence is also our responsibility to exemplify, since even Justice Holmes realized that, "…falsely shouting fire in a theater and causing a panic…" could not be protected by the First Amendment (Schenck v. U.S.)
What do you think? I'd like to hear from students, faculty, staff and other readers about your ideas on freedom of speech, whether Columbia University should have hosted President Ahmadinejad, whether the current situation with terrorism and war should mean that certain speakers should NOT be invited to campuses. Please send me your thoughts via email to email@example.com or click on the envelope icon below. Let me know if I can quote from you on this blog. Thanks.

The Starke County Commissioners last week reaffirmed their commitment to building a new hospital in Knox. County officials are still negotiating with Tennessee-based Community Health Systems, which recently acquired 80-percent ownership of IU Health Starke and LaPorte Hospitals. The county owns the current hospital building and land on which it sits. Commissioner Kathy Norem quoted an email received by the commissioners stating they are "ignorant, clueless and intentionally blocking the building of a new facility." She says they want to ensure adequate services are provided. Continue reading
Change in Hospital Ownership Leads to Establishment of Healthcare Foundation of LaPorte
The affiliation between Community Health Systems, IU Health and IU Health LaPorte and Starke Hospitals has been finalized.
Indiana University Health is now a minority owner of IU Health LaPorte and Starke Hospitals. They own 20 percent, and CHS subsidiaries own 80 percent. IU Health will share equal governance of the new organization. Officials say this will ensure a local voice is heard in all future decisions.
Part of the agreement is the creation of the Healthcare Foundation of LaPorte (HFL). It's a new, independent, nonprofit foundation that's dedicated to empowering residents in and around LaPorte to live healthy and well. Continue reading

IU Health Officials Unveil Additional Hospital Plans
IU Health Starke Hospital officials are putting the finishing touches on the design of a new, state-of-the-art hospital. A second cardboard mock-up of the space is set up at the former Freeman Products building at the intersection of Culver Road and Klockner Drive in Knox. IU Health Starke Hospital President Craig Felty says they've taken public input to heart.
"We started out with four beds. Our first plan for this had 10 beds. Now we're up to 13 beds with two of those being flex beds, and we also have the ability to flex even more. We have pre-op and post-op beds we can use for patients, and we've increased the amount of beds in the emergency department because our emergency department is really, really growing." Continue reading
Hospital Model Tours Scheduled Today and Thursday
Members of the public can check out the other half of the proposed new IU Health Starke Hospital this week. Workers have set up a scale model of the second half of the project at the former Freeman Products building at the corner of 300 East and Culver Road in Knox. Guided tours of the model, which has been dubbed "cardboard city" will be available from 4 until 6 p.m. today and Thursday.

Overdose Awareness Day Event Planned in Starke County
Starke County holds the dubious distinction of having the highest rate of average accidental poisoning by exposure to drugs, medications and biological substances in 2009 and 2010. That's according to mortality data from the Indiana State Department of Health. Local leaders are working to raise awareness of the problem. They've placed 61 ribbons on the lawn at IU Health Starke Hospital – one for each of the lives lost to drug overdose over the past seven years. Continue reading
Scale Mock-Up Aids Hospital Design Planning
IU Health Starke Hospital officials are using a life-size cardboard mock-up of their proposed new facility to finalize design plans. President Craig Felty says the blueprint doesn't do it justice.
"When you see something actually 3-D and real life, it really puts it into perspective. It really helps to solidify what we have in the blueprint but also shows us so much more, that we could actually make it so much better than we thought. On the blueprint it looks good, but it looks so much better when it's actually all put up together."
IU Health Offers Tours of Full-Size Hospital Mock-Up
IU Health officials are working on plans for a new, state-of-the-art hospital in Knox. President Craig Felty says the lean concept design will focus on efficiency.
"It's going to be a licensed hospital. We'll have all the outpatient complementary services that we offer now – x-ray, lab, CT, MRI – all of the diagnostic imaging options we have now. It will have a full-service emergency department. We're looking right now at a 10-bed hospital, or a 10 bed inpatient unit, if you will."

The net effect of the bump outs combined with the synchronized signals downtown will be that traffic will flow at at least the same rate through town. You live in a tourist town with significant pedestrian flow through town and need to realize that safety for them is paramount, as well as reducing the number of accidents for motorists parking, buses trying to reenter the roadway and for through traffic just trying to safety get through town on the only route available. It's a balancing act which we feel has been best achieved with this road design.

"Leftist" is the last word I would use to describe the current Republican crew in congress.
I guess you heard the senate has pass a bill to temporarily fix the airline delays before the take their break.
well they like any person in the government or military already has state provided health care... so why or what is the point in them disallowing themselves from something they already have?
Quote . . . and once people understood that there was no cut in spending....only a cut in the rate at which spending grew, people wondered what the heck was wrong with the dems. a raise is still a raise even if it's 2% less than what you thought were getting.even our current crop of voters got that :shock:That was sure a shock to me, since nearly every media outlet called it a drastic spending cut.

Speaking of Elitist. :evil: I guess you heard the Senate has passed a bill to temporarily fix the airline delays before the take their break.
... If you do not think the establishment republicans are "leftist lite" your delusional.
Tea Party Patriots" or some other such self congratulatory term, but who when push comes to shove would rather sit on their hands on election day than work or vote for a candidate who these so called patriots find insufficiently conservative, resulting in the election of hard core leftists.
"If however you mean folks like the Tea Party politicos who recently encouraged Uber Liberal singer Ashley Judd to run as a Democrat against Mitch McConnell for his US Senate seat because these self anointed "patriots" have their Depends in a wad over a few of GOP Senator McConnell's votes? If these are the people you are calling leftist lights, I suggest that you call these people what they really are, Obama sleeper cells. These Tea Party politicos are stooges and enablers of the far left wing of the Democrat Party but nothing better."
One thing that validates my point is the beyond dismal showing most Tea Party candidates made in red state Senate races starting in 2010. If it were not for the Tea Party there would be a center right majority of GOP Senators today. That means that win lose or draw in the presidential election of 2012 that Barrack Obama would now be sucking air just to stay afloat politically. At the end of the day it reminds me of the old East Coast liberal mantra, "I would rather be Red than dead" only in this case it means, "I would rather Obama Care kills my dumb arse than vote for a mainstream GOP candidate."
Obama and the DNC are gonna miss DeMint.
i don't know where you stand on things, but if you think it's ok to have republican lite rather than principled candidate,
Oh, you mean principled like YOUR boy Romney

Maybe next time the R's will try running with, oh I don't know, maybe a conservative.
fewer debates and more attention to policy, i think.
Sleep Ambience - Crickets, 15 minutesHello Blue... Blue are you there?
Let me help you out.Liberalism at its best with these two presidential candidits Obama: as a teen. Smoking dope and snorting cocaine. Romney may or may not have been involved in cutting some ones hair.Obama: Parents and grandparents were communist. Romney: father was a capitalist business man.Obama: health care. federal and unconstitutional. Romney: state run. and constitutionalObama: abortion. voted for partial birth abortion Romney: only in case of rapeObama: welfare. give it to everyone weather or not they deserve it. Romney: welfare needs reforming Obama: gun control. take em all and educate the people. Romney: believes in the second amendment rightsObama: homosexuality. believes in two men marrying each other.

There was Newt and his moon base. Yeah, that would probably only cost about $100 right. :laugh: We're broke people. Perry was going to cut 3 departments but couldn't remember which 3. :laugh: Bachman was just scary. :evil: Herman had his 7 7 7 plan that didn't add up. Ron Paul did have some good ideas, along with his crazy ones. The only one that seemed even remotely fit for the office was Romney; the liberal. 8-) Same thing will happen next time people. The RNC isn't dumb enough to allow some kook like Bachman to wreck an entire election. Romney was clearly your best hope, because he DID come close to Obama, whereas none of those other "candidates" would have even been close. Unfortunately Romney couldn't even win his home state. :laugh:
... .....Now tell us all what it was about Obama's past which made him so, "fit for office" ? Was it the dope smoking? ...the coke snorting? Maybe his extensive voting record in his historic lengthily time in the senate?


text: Hello all: I just purchased a custom made suit and when the final product came, I noticed a slight difference between the way the darts on the front end. On the left, the dart comes apart in a noticeable V, while the one on the right finishes cleanly. Something that is not apparent because the photos are taken head-on with flash is that the one of the left also puffs up ever so slightly because there is loose fabric around the top. I mentioned this to the tailor and he said that it just requires ironing, but no matter how much pressing I do, it does not go away. This is my first custom suit and the first suit I've bought since college 10 years ago so I'm by no means an expert on this. My question is: 1. Is this a defect? Should I go back to the tailor to have him fix it? 2. What is involved in fixing something? Thanks in advance for any advice.

Analog technology is going the way of the Dodo, eight track and Betamax; slowly drifting to technologic extinction. But what about us folks that still have precious memories tied to analog media? Elgato the company renowned for their TV software, TV tuners and capture devices has released the Elgato Video Capture. It is a USB based device that allows the capture of analog signals via the included cable connections.
This device allows the transfer and conversion of most any analog source into a digital format. Video is captured in real time thus eliminating the need to re-encoding. The Elgato Video Capture uses the connected computer's hardware for encoding, so a powerful machine is definitely preferable.
Recently Elgato added Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 Capture Edition Software for Windows users to take advantage of the device. This program works with the Elgato device and offers many features found in the Elgato Video Capture Software.
The Elgato Video Capture comes in the familiar looking white cardboard Elgato branded box. Inside we find the Elgato Video Capture device, Elgato Video Capture CD-ROMs, composite to SCART adaptor, Composite Video/RCA stereo cable and proof of purchase key. Unfortunately I received an earlier revision of the CD-ROM so the review copy did not contain the Cyberlink program to test the Elgato Video Capture using a Windows machine.
The device is all white similar to most other Elgato Apple designed products. It is composed of a plastic white rectangular video capture box. In the center we find the Elgato logo with two cables coming off opposite sides; there is a USB connection on one end and on the other we find Composite, RCA and S-Video inputs. The unit is lightweight and can easily be thrown into one's laptop bag or even pocket.
The connectors allow the Elgato Video Capture to work with analog sources such as VCRs, Game Consoles, DVD and video cameras. Elgato also includes a SCART connector, which is used primarily in Europe.
Transfer video from a VCR or any other analog video source to your Mac in a format that is ready for iTunes, an iPod or iPhone, YouTube, and iMovie.
Transfer video to your Mac from a VCR, DVR, camcorder, or any other analog video device as an iTunes-ready H.264 or MPEG-4 file. Elgato Video Capture's easy-to-use software assists you through every step, from connecting an analog video source to recording the video on your Mac and choosing how you will watch and share it.
Turn Analog Video into iTunes-Ready Files
There is no easier or more convenient way to transfer home video to your Mac. Elgato Video Capture records from analog video sources in the H.264 or MPEG-4 formats that are native to iTunes. Your video is captured in real-time and no lengthy re-encoding is necessary; the video is immediately ready to sync with an iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV, to play in QuickTime, to edit in iMovie, or to upload directly to YouTube.
Put Family Memories on your Mac, and More
The era of VHS tapes is winding down, and after three decades there is a lot of video content to transfer for modern playback devices. What's more, any video stored on magnetic tape (such as VHS, Video8 and Hi8) has a limited life span and deteriorates over time. Elgato Video Capture provides an easy way to bring those precious memories into iTunes, to edit them in iMovie, and to share on the Web.
There is no easier way to transfer home video to your Mac to play in QuickTime, to sync with an iPod, iPhone or Apple TV, to edit in iMovie, or to upload to YouTube.
Every step is made simple
Elgato Video Capture is very easy to use. The software Assistant guides you through every step, from connecting an analog video source to capturing video that is optimized for the way you want to use it. The software offers a simple tool to trim the beginning and end of the captured video. And, it takes just one click to add your video to iTunes to sync with an iPod®, iPhone™ or Apple TV®; to play in QuickTime®; to upload directly to YouTube™; or to open in iMovie ready for editing.
Video to your Mac from a DVR, DVD Player, or Set-Top Box
Perhaps you've been given a DVD from a family event or reunion and you want to share it by posting it on your website or on YouTube. Or you've saved some great movies and TV shows on your DVR and want to play them back on your iPod. Elgato Video Capture can connect and capture video to your Mac from any dev
Elgato Video Capture Technical Information

Perhaps you've been given a DVD from a family event or reunion and you want to share it by posting it on your website or on YouTube. Or you've saved some great movies and TV shows on your DVR and want to play them back on your iPod. Elgato Video Capture can connect and capture video to your Mac from any device that has composite "RCA" or S-Video outputs. It also comes with a SCART adapter.
Price: $83.86 (Price from Amazon at time of review)
The installation process takes a few seconds and involves dragging the Elgato Video Capture program into one's Application folder. Launching the program will check for online updates and pop up an optional registration screen. For testing I used my MacBook Pro Core2 Duo 2.4 GHz with 2GB of RAM along with a Panasonic VCR and a few other analog devices.
The Elgato Video Capture program is simple in function designed to take the user through the video connection setup, recording and final editing process.
The Getting Started screen asks for the name of the file being recorded and queries the video length to estimate the hard drive space required for the file. This is a handy feature especially if your hard drive capacity is on the low side.
Connect Video asks which input is being used – composite or S-Video and what aspect ratio for output is desired. The Connect Audio section checks if the RCA connections are picking up audio.
Now you are ready to encode the source video; to start hit the big red record button. The other included options are to Mute the Sound and to stop the recording after the preset time that was picked on the Getting Started screen.
Once the recording is finished, the Trim screen lets some simple editing to be performed. If you plan on multiple edits you can forget about it using the Elgato Video Capture software; as I previously mentioned it is pretty basic video creation software.
The last screen is the file output screen, which lets the user Play the Video using Quicktime, Add it to iTunes, Edit it with iMovie or Upload it to Youtube. On top of this screen it will also indicate the file location on your hard drive.
The Preferences scr een is broken up into General, Video and Audio sections. General setting allows the user to change the file location and save format. Video allows adjustment of the Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Hue; while the audio section allows decibel settings.
For my main test a two hour VHS video converted to MP4 using H.264 and AAC codecs at a resolution of 640 x 480 took up 1.45 GB. For this resolution that file size is rather large but the quality was accurately reproduced from the source material.
In addition I tested the Elgato Video Capture device using a GameCube console and DVD player and was easily able to capture video from both components.
One thing that was apparent using the Elgato Video Capture is that it's system intensive as my MacBook Pro had its normally silent fans to kick in at full throttle.
Video can be output to either H.264 or MPEG-4 formats. H.264 encodes at 1.4 MBit/sec while MPEG-4 encodes at 2.4 MBit/sec. One warning, if you use a machine without enough horsepower under the hood then the output will default to MPEG-4.
Obviously the source material will determine the quality of the captured video. Analog videos that were professionally recorded looked much better than those recorded from a standard VCR.
If you are like me and have a large cache of VHS tapes then the Elgato Video Capture is a simple device to get those analog video digitized quickly and easily. One drawback to the Elgato package is the rather simplistic software which seems designed for non technologically savvy folks. Fortunately the user can export the capture video into something with more features such as iMovie.
The Elgato Video Capture relies on the Mac hardware to do all the "heavy lifting" with the encoding. This will keep your Mac on the sidelines while capturing video as it seems to use up a fair amount of system resources for the video capture and encoding.
A nice recently added feature to the Elgato Video Capture bundle is the Cyberlink PowerDirector 8 Capture Edition software making the device functional with Windows machines.
Overall the Elgato Video Capture is a good product that does the job its is designed for in a simple straightforward fashion.
+Simple to use and setup
+Pretty much plug and play
+Works with iMovie
-Software very basic
-Resulting files are larger than comparable encoding solutions
-Hardware intensive

Former U.S. Sen. Mark Dayton has been campaigning for governor with a simple catchphrase "Tax the rich." At nearly every debate, Dayton says the rich aren't paying their fair share in taxes:
"Tim Pawlenty's own department of revenue says that the wealthiest 10 percent of the people in Minnesota pay only three fourths of their proportionate share of income in state and local taxes. The wealthiest 1 percent of Minnesotans pay only two thirds of their proportionate share of income in state and local taxes.
Tim Pawlenty is the best tax shelter the wealthy in Minnesota have ever had. And meanwhile this talk of no new taxes, of course, is not true for most Minnesotans. Property taxes have gone up. Fees have gone up.
My solution, first and foremost before I raise any other tax, I'm going to make taxes progressive in Minnesota again. If the wealthiest 10 percent of the people the state paid even a flat tax, paid even the same percentage of their income as everybody else, that would be $3.8 billion of additional revenues in this biennium. More in the next biennium.
Read my lips. Tax the rich. That's where the money is. It's only fair. We need that money for our schools and everything else."
Paul Wilson, head of the Research Department at the Minnesota Department of Revenue, says Dayton is right that wealthier Minnesotans pay a smaller share of their income in taxes. He points to the Minnesota Tax Incidence Study that was done last year.
While Wilson quibbles with the numbers (he says his back-of-the-envelope calculation finds that hiking income taxes on the wealthiest 10 percent would general $3.4 billion not $3.8 billion) he said Dayton's idea would generate more money and make the tax system more fair.
Dayton's plan would come with significant costs. For example, Wilson said Minnesota's top earners currently pay an income tax rate of 7.85 percent. He said the wealthiest 10 percent of Minnesotans currently have total household incomes of $137,000 or more before taxes.
Wilson said if Dayton hopes to generate $3.4 billion, he would have to nearly double the income tax rate for the wealthiest 10 percent:
"If that is what he's suggesting, to actually do this by raising the top rate or even raising the top rate for those over $250,000 for married couples like one of the House or Senate bills did, you're talking about rates of 13 percent to 15 percent if all you do is raise the top rate…"
"…But that's how large of an increase in the income tax rate that it would take to make that level. To make that the same percentage of income as the state and local tax burden for top 10 percent as for the lower income groups."
Wilson said that would make Minnesota's top income tax rate the highest in the country.
Republicans have argued that increasing the top tax rate would only drive wealthier Minnesotans and small business owners to move to lower tax states.
Even Democrats in the Legislature weren't willing to go as far as Dayton. The Senate passed a bill last year that increased the income tax rate on nearly every Minnesotan and increased the top rate to 9.25 percent for joint filers earning more than $250,000 a year. That bill would have generated $2 billion. Gov. Tim Pawlenty vetoed a House/Senate Conference Committee report that created a new income tax rate of 9 percent on joint filers earning more than $250,000 a year.
Listen to my entire interview with Wilson here on Dayton's proposal and tax policy in general here:

James Pattinson's Ashes-ending injury maintains the worrying trend of physical frailty among Australia's young fast bowlers.
The stress fracture in his lower back follows the rib and foot problems that have also kept him out of international cricket.
Fellow promising quicks Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood have also been injury prone. But if there is a silver lining for Australia it is that the damage has come in the seam bowling department, in which their squad has reasonable depth. Standard Sport looks at Pattinson's possible replacements for the Third Investec Test.
The left-arm paceman (above) was not at his best in the First Test but he was still slightly unlucky to be left out at Lord's, given the variety he offers and the fact he can bowl wicket-taking deliveries. Starc twice found himself on a hat-trick at Trent Bridge and is the favourite to come back into the team in Manchester next week.
A first-class bowling average of below 20 catches the eye but Bird is unproven at Test level, having played only twice. The 26-year-old right-arm fast-medium bowler did well in the tour match against Worcestershire before the Ashes. His accuracy and consistency might be his best chance of beating Starc to a place in the Test attack.
Has never played a Test but there are sensible reasons to pick him. He is a confident cricketer, not scarred by recent Ashes defeats and can offer Australia something with both bat and ball. The 23-year-old has made his name in the shorter formats yet many in Australia believe he has the temperament for Test cricket if given the chance.

San Diego State is a dynamic and evolving university with numerous recent accomplishments – each one building on our history of excellence and achievement. To give two examples, the creation of the Susan and Stephen Weber Honors College and the opening of the Conrad Prebys Aztec Student Union occurred at singular moments in time, but they were the results of decades of efforts by our university community. Similarly, SDSU's emergence as a nationally renowned research university, while highlighted by a flurry of recent discoveries, reflects the collaborative efforts of faculty, staff, students and administrators over more than five decades.
Today, we have an opportunity that could alter the trajectory of our history for the next several decades. In a recent blog, I mentioned three touchstones for San Diego State's continued success in the future – the highest-quality programs, service to students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds and financial strength. While our current campus footprint of 225 acres is sufficient to support our aspirations in the short term, we will, most assuredly, need more space for the long-term advancement of our university's programs over the next 50 years.
The San Diego Chargers' recent decision to leave Mission Valley and pursue a downtown stadium creates this critical opportunity. This decision opens up a host of possibilities for the future of the Qualcomm Stadium site – just eight minutes away by trolley from our College Avenue campus.
While some might argue that the Qualcomm site should be redeveloped along Mission Valley's familiar high-density, automobile-dependent pattern, San Diego State supports a low- to medium-density vision focusing on sustainable recreational and educational uses.
We see a future in Mission Valley with community parks and recreational opportunities, low- to medium-density housing, a small number of research/technology transfer facilities and, possibly, a stadium – one on a significantly smaller scale than Qualcomm Stadium – that could be shared by San Diego State, a Major League Soccer franchise and other community partners. We are eager to join members of our community in discussing this vision.
The excitement and challenge of realizing such a vision will, of course, be in the details. One especially exciting aspect, mentioned earlier, is that the Metropolitan Transit System's Trolley provides a rapid, easily accessible connection between our campus and the Qualcomm site. This existing transportation infrastructure is critical to realizing a sustainable, green vision for the redeveloped site and for our entire university. As just one example, faculty, staff and students residing on a redeveloped site could use the trolley system, instead of their cars, to get to campus. This would reduce traffic in Mission Valley and in the College Area, as well as reduce our entire community's carbon footprint and parking challenges on our campus.
These possibilities will, of course, raise many detailed questions. Who would own the redeveloped site? Who would be the development partners? How would the redevelopment be financed? The blunt answer to these questions at this moment is that we don't know.
It is, however, time for the communal discussion that will help us find these answers. The end point of a great adventure is rarely known, but the possibilities associated with any grand pursuit must first be envisioned. Let's dream as a community, knowing that the opportunity to advance the future of our university is before us.
