|Crossroads teen choir to perform in Holyoke
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Monday, June 8 the Crossroads Teen Choir will be performing the musical David's Journey at the Holyoke high school auditorium. The event is set to begin at 7 p.m.
David's Journey is a musical written by Kris Wolf, director of the Crossroads teen choir. It's an updated version of the story of David, said Wolf.
Members of the choir are high school students from the Rising Sun Church in Des Moines, Iowa. The choir rehearses and performs locally year round, but their big event is the week long tour. In the choir's 15 years of traveling, Wolf has been all over the country, but this year's stop in Holyoke will be a first.
While on tour, the choir has seen many exciting places including venues in Washington D.C., New York and Canada. Their coming to Holyoke was no mistake though. Dave Bouchard, music and adult education minister at the church, once lived in Holyoke.
In 1955-59 Bouchard attended Holyoke Elementary School. It was his recollection of his years here that prompted him to look into a performance here. Needless to say, the arrangements fell into place, and the choir will be coming.
The hour long musical tells a classic Bible story using upbeat music and dancing. And it's not all serious, said Wolf, there are things that make you laugh.
Performing with the choir is a great experience for the students, and it is a chance for them to step out of their comfort zones, noted Wolf. It's huge because they get to sing about something that is ultimately important.
The kids are very committed to the tour and have worked hard to give the audience an enjoyable and meaningful experience. They are quick to point out, however, they are not performing, they are ministering. David's Journey should be a rewarding event for all who attend.

What caliber was that out of? We shoot Barnes out of my dad's 257 WBY and to date they've killed both his and my largest buck and bull
I have had good terminal performance with Barnes as well.
I also like the terminal performance of Nosler Accubonds and Berger bullets (Hunting VLD and Classic Hunter)
I usually choose the one of these that shoots the best out of the rifle.
Congrats on the cow.
I hand load Barnes 200 gr TSX in my 325 wsm. The first animal I took with it was a 175 pound hog at 167 yards. The bullet enter just in front of the right ham and we found the bullet in his left jaw. It looked like the one in your hand and still weighted 200 grs.
The last animal I shot was a 6 x 6 bull at 60 yards. The bullet entered just below his backbone behind the shoulder. It completely lifted his front end off the ground. We found the bullet in the hide on the off side. It had mushroomed perfectly but one of the pelts had broken off. It weighted 187 grs.
I really like the Barnes bullets.
In California, I only use Barnes ammo. Both my Remingtons, .270 and .300 Win. Mag. love them!!! On a 200 lb. wild pig, I pulled out EXACTLY what your photo indicates; on deer and antelope, same thing. Barnes are expensive, but I will continue to use them because of their great performance.
I heard Barnes sold out? I can't find my triple shock ammo anywhere.
I shot it out of my .300 Win Mag, the bullet wieghed 179 grains and started at 180.

I'm still shooting the original Barnes X 115gr out of my .257wby. They are awesome! Unfortunatlly I have never recovered a bullet out of an animal yet but with the dammage they do I'm okay with that. I will be going to the TSX 100gr soon since Wetherby has stopped producing the ammo I'm shooting now.
I recovered a Knight red hot which I believe is made by barnes from a deer under the skin much like yours and it expanded perfectly like that too. They make a great bullet!

Genre: Action, Crime, Drama | Run Time: 109 min | Rated: R
Director: David Ayer | Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington
By: George Wolf
At 67-years-old, Arnold Schwarzenegger is having a career resurgence of sorts. Sabotage is his 3rd film to be released in the last 12 months, and he has 5 more in development, including sequels to Expendables, Conan and Terminator. That's not to say he's exactly found an audience for his return to the big screen, but he's certainly trying.
Truth is, neither Escape Plan or The Last Stand – his last two efforts – made at the box office even half of what they cost to produce. You've got to hope that his sequels do a little better, or that he's put away some cash for retirement from somewhere else, because Sabotage is not likely to please a wider audience than his last two flicks.
It's a darker film that you might expect, with mercifully few jokes about Arnold's age. As Breacher, a legendary DEA agent whose career has taken an ugly turn, the big Austrian leads a team of unhinged misfits whose last bust corrupted their trust in the team and in Breacher.
Sabotage was co-written and directed by David Ayer, whose resume is littered with ill-conceived, gritty cop dramas (and the first Fast and Furious flick – so thanks for that). It's a winding tale of double crosses that betray the worst in everybody, but Ayer can't find a clean path through the story and Arnold can't begin to shoulder the emotional weight required of his should-be complex character.
Points for a couple of unusual casting decisions. Mireille Enos cuts a sketchy figure as the team's sole female agent – a role that could easily have fallen to (and seems to have been written for) a shapely babe pretending to be a badass. Instead, Enos looks like someone who could be mistaken for a meth addict (a plus in the world of covert DEA ops). She chews scenery, but at least she's memorable.
Likewise, Olivia Williams has talent, and her ease with the material allows some genuine chemistry and natural humor to invade an otherwise stiff, by-the-numbers action flick. What she can't do is handle a southern accent. Ouch.
Some decent red herrings are thrown about as Williams's good cop works with Breacher to figure out who is picking off his team one by one. This generates decent tension as the investigation leads us through otherwise obvious territory. It's when Ayer tries to throw an actual curve ball that things get sloppy.
He's not aided by his lead's performance, though. The twisty, secret-riddled script required a performance with a modicum of range. And yet, Ayers cast Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Evangelical influence
Immigration | Christian leaders gather on Capitol Hill to renew their push for immigration reform
"Evangelical influence" Continued...
WASHINGTON—Evangelicals descended on Capitol Hill again on Wednesday as Christian leaders and pastors continue to pressure lawmakers to pass comprehensive immigration reform.
The Evangelical Immigration Table, which designated Wednesday a "National Pray for Reform Day," began with a morning press conference at the Capitol, which included Southern Baptists, representatives from World Relief, several pastors, and others. More than 300 evangelical leaders from 27 states then fanned out for more than 90 meetings with lawmakers throughout the day.
"This need transcends race, political party, and even faith," said Carlos Campo, president of Regent University. "Our country will be stronger with a system that strategically addresses our immigration problem, and reflects the compassion that has defined our nation."
Meanwhile, leaders of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC) spent the morning in a meeting with White House officials. The group then met with Republican leadership in the afternoon, including House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, Conference Committee Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Policy Committee Chairman James Lankford, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte.
"There is a sense of cautious optimism stemming out of the meeting with these Republican members of Congress who in essence hold in their hands the future of 11 million people," said NHCLC President Samuel Rodriguez, who said he thinks "we're millimeters away" from reform, not in time, but in terms of agreement on core principles, including no amnesty, increased border security, a verifiable guest worker program, and a process through which the 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States can be made right with the law.
Robert Gittelson, NHCLC's vice president of governmental affairs, said the emotion of the meeting surprised him, and he left feeling more optimistic than ever.
"The people that were getting emotional in this meeting and speaking from the heart were their leaders," Gittelson said, adding that he "came to understand the deep conviction some of the leaders have" to reform what everyone in Congress agrees is a broken immigration system.
One thing Republicans made clear was that they aren't interested in setting artificial deadlines. That was a major criticism of the Senate legislation, which passed four weeks ago, despite a vocal minority of Republican opposition. The bill garnered 68 votes, but many of the chamber's most conservative members voted against it, saying Majority Leader Harry Reid used an artificial deadline to jam the legislation through before it could be fully debated.
Republicans' chief complaint about the Senate bill is that it would legalize most illegal immigrants before the border is secure, but how one defines a secure border also became a major point of contention. Sens. Bob Corker, R-Tenn., and John Hoeven, R-N.D., introduced a late compromise amendment to significantly boost the border security elements of the plan—including $48 billion in spending for everything from drones to night-vision goggles—but 32 Republicans still voted against final passage.
"This bill has $48 billion thrown up against the wall to buy the votes to say we're going to have a secure border when in fact we're not," said Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, who co-wrote Immigration Wars this spring and has been active in public debate on the issue, said he supports the Senate bill not because it perfects the immigration system, but because it would improve it. He said progress has already been made on border security and a key element of further securing it is to reform the legal system of entry.
"The 2007 immigration bill contained a number of 'enforcement triggers' that have already been met, including increasing border agents and border barriers," Bush wrote in an email to WORLD. "The best way to secure the border is to encourage immigrants to come in through legal channels, which is why we need a temporary worker system, more flexible visas linked to economic needs, and a verification system that employers can use to check an immigrant's status. We need high fences but also wide gates."
Although the Senate took a comprehensive approach to reform, Boehner has already said the House will take on immigration in stages. Rodriguez said it doesn't matter as long as the pieces are passed within a reasonable amount of time. He said after Wednesday's meeting, he's convinced the House's approach, while not his first choice, would end up being just as effective at achieving the major goals.
Raúl Labrador, R-Idaho, a key House member on immigration, said he hopes the House can pass reform and be ready to go to a conference committee with the Senate by the end of the year. That could be difficult with Congress only scheduled to work nine days between next week and Oct. 1, with budget fights looming in the fall.
Many believe the process may be stalling as momentum wanes, but Rodriguez told me momentum is actually picking up among evangelicals: "We have more and more evangelicals—these are Bible-believing, pro-life, pro-family, religious liberty evangelicals—making immigration reform their justice cause in the 21st century. This is about faith, not about politics. … The evangelical community will be primarily responsible for the passage of immigration reform."

Notice, no mention of the fact that none other than Scalia has stated that the second amendment has legal limits, and does not include all weapons, which can be regulated by law. But the corrupt gun industry want nothing more than to increase gun sales through fear mongering, exploiting the stupid, after each one of these mass murders, when reasonable Americans begin to demand the obvious changes we need to make, in order to end this carnage.
Meanwhile, the corrupt, without conscience NRA, (along with all of the other gun worshipper's organizations) which is nothing but a tool for more profits for the corrupt gun manufacturing industry, continue to spread lies and gin up fear among their ignorant, radical, gun toting bubba conspiracy theorists, who are stupid enough to buy this absurd propaganda and believe that our Government is coming to take away all guns, and worse, some of these RW idiots are ignorant enough to think that because we have an African American in the White House, he's going to lock them up in concentration camps, as well!
Of course, the Fux Noise organization and idiots like Limpballs, also promote this irrational propaganda.

Vancouver, BC (SportsNetwork.com) - By the time the Colorado Rapids take the
field at BC Place on Sunday against Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the club will have
likely already clinched a playoff spot.
The only way that Colorado will need a result against Vancouver is if San Jose
beats FC Dallas on Saturday and the Earthquakes score 13 more goals than the
So with such a remote outcome unlikely the Rapids will use Sunday's game as a
way to prepare for the playoffs while also potentially improving their
position in the Western Conference with a win.
Colorado enters the weekend tied with Seattle in fourth place, while the Los
Angeles Galaxy is just one point clear of both teams.
Seattle and Los Angeles will meet up on Sunday, which could allow Colorado to
move further up the table with a win.
And the team's captain, Drew Moor, would like to see his side take a bit of
momentum into the postseason.
"We don't just want to scrape into the playoffs and not be playing well," Moor
said. "We need to build on what we've created over the past couple months and
continue the momentum. We'll play well this week, and in my opinion regardless
of what San Jose does, this weekend is a bigger game because if we're in the
playoffs, we have to build some momentum as we go into it."
Colorado handed Vancouver a 3-2 defeat last weekend behind two goals from
Gabriel Torres, which eliminated the Whitecaps.
Vancouver made the playoffs last season so it is hard not to view this
campaign as a step back, which could mean the end of Martin Rennie's tenure
with the team.
"I would say that we were stagnant," Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi said
when assessing his team's season. "The competition in the division - it's
clear for everyone to see - other clubs upgraded, as did we, but just not
enough. Too many points dropped at key times.
"I would say that we probably maintained where we were, but most people would
view it as having regressed because we haven't made the playoffs."
Sunday's match could be the final one in charge for Rennie, but it will
definitely be the last for defender Lee Young-Pyo, who announced that he is
retiring at the end of the season.

Nice to see that banner of Rand Paul vs Grayson. I think we are almost underestimating how huge it would be for our movement to get Rand or Peter elected into the senate. Even winning the primary will be a big step. I there races to be a reforendum on the last 10 years of Conservative leadership. The idea of new blood in the party and trying to get away from these hand picked insiders is something I think the average voter can connect with. Great site!

@Lori That's a good question- lemme answer it with another: do you think Obama is consiously trying to assume more power over our communication, or that he really believes this is necessary to keep us safe?
As for me, I can only speculate- but to assume so many unchecked powers that are so clearly unconstitutional is a trifle more than suspicious. I would say that I'm not sure whether Mr. Obama has any consious designs fo using Senator Rockefeller's bill to hush dissent, but I would definitely agree that this is part of a deliberate program on Obama's part to consolidate the government's power- which he thinks is ultimately better (for his interests, if not ours)
@Tajitj Thanks for your kind words and excellent analysis on Rand Paul's Senate campaign. I truly think he's our best chance for a decisive electoral victory this 2010. He'll be speaking tomorrow in Nashville and I can't wait to attend!

I glanced over it, and it's just more unchecked power for the executive branch of Massachusetts' government. It allows the executive branch a blank check on action and spending under the circumstances of a "health emergency." If I were in the Massachusetts legislature, I wouldn't vote for it.

text: Derecho's effect on wildlife minimal By John McCoy July 14, 2012 West Virginia's June 29 derecho windstorm inconvenienced hundreds of thousands of people, but its effects on fishing and hunting weren't nearly as dramatic. "A few animals might have been killed when limbs or trees fell on them, but by and large deer and bears and other creatures should have made it through the storm just fine," said Paul Johansen, assistant wildlife chief for the state Division of Natural Resources. "The heat wouldn't have bothered the animals either. It might have made them uncomfortable, but through evolution animals have learned to adapt to all sorts of meteorological conditions." Johansen said people should be more worried about fish in the state's small streams, most of which are enduring critically low water levels and record-breaking heat. "Again, though, the fish have survived similar conditions in the past, and I expect they'll survive the conditions they're experiencing now," he added The derecho's biggest impacts were to the DNR's infrastructure. Many of the agency's wildlife management areas suffered significant tree damage. "We had a lot of trees down, blocking roads and blocking trails," Johansen said. "It affected access to some of our facilities and to our WMAs. In some cases the tree damage was pretty extensive. The cleanup is going to take quite a while." If there's a silver lining to the damage, it will occur when new trees begin to appear in clearings where large trees fell. "Wildlife really like 'early successional' habitat, the tender young growth that occurs after trees fall or are cut," Johansen explained. "It's natural for forests to regenerate when trees are broken or tipped over. Fallen trees are a disturbance on the landscape, but animals adjust very quickly to the disturbance, and when the new growth comes in it actually attracts wildlife." The most significant impacts weren't to fish or wildlife themselves, but to infrastructure the DNR has put in place to manage them. State fish hatcheries, for example, all suffered power outages and operated on generator power until electrical service was restored. The outage very nearly caused a major trout kill at the Reeds Creek Hatchery in Pendleton County. The facility's generator failed at 9:30 p.m. on July 4, and employees worked through the night to keep it limping along enough to keep an estimated 300,000 trout alive. When it finally failed at 7:30 a.m. the following day, DNR officials appealed to the Governor's Office, the state Office of Emergency Services and the Pendleton County Office of Emergency Services. Crews from Mon Power came on the run and got power restored at 11 a.m., just as trout started to turn belly-up. In all, only an estimated 200 to 300 fish died. Johansen said a few buildings and maintenance sheds were damaged by wind or fallen trees, but not severely so. "At one of the hatchery residences, a chimney got blown off the house. Other than that, the damage to structures was light," he said. DNR officials were particularly happy that the West Virginia Wildlife Center at French Creek survived the storm as well as it did. "It sits up on a ridge, and there are some very large trees on the property," Johansen said. "The storm had a very significant impact on most of Upshur County, but the Wildlife Center's exhibit facilities escaped relatively unscathed. There were a lot of downed trees, but the trees didn't cause much damage to the wildlife pens." All in all, Johansen believes the DNR came through the storm in remarkably good shape. "Considering the seriousness of the event itself, we were pretty fortunate," he said.

I want to migrate form Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 on a new server. I am currently running 7.1.1 I tried to upgrade it on 10.04 to zimbra 8.0.3, it failed to see the previous version but found that the directory was there. I canceled that install then proceeded to install 7.2.3 instead hoping that maybe it was just too big a jump, it also did not see the previous install but I chanced it and continued choosing the 'without deleting the zimbra directory' option. It bombed on zimbra core and exited. Not knowing how far along it went I tried a zmcontrol start, [sudo] password for zimbra: error
I restored everything, zmpermfix and visudo. the old server appears to be working. Is there another way to migrate? There is no version 7 for 12.04 so I cannot install 7.x.x on 12.04 as described in the threads I have read. I could try installing 10.04 on the new server with a fresh install of 7.1.1 migrate and see if that install will allow an upgrade?

Average Customer Review: based on 3 reviews.Rating: Sea scooter pro
what is the wt limit of person operating it,does it propel in water coming back into shore well?
Hello Sharon, Thank you for your inquiry! There is no actual weight limit per say for the Sea-Doo Seascooter Pro Underwater Scooter(DPV), because of the neutral buoyancy factor. It is primarily made to tow 1 person if you wish to run at it's speed of approximately 2 mph. The unit will take you out to sea and bring you back into shore… Just be carful of any higher than normal surge under the water or surf on the surface. For warm water touring, no worries there. Just watch your running time (of 1 hour), because you won't want to head back to shore with all the fun you're having. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-94/131769/Sea-Doo-Seascooter-Pro.html If you have any questions or wish to place an order, please call us at 1-800-247-2822 or 949-221-9300.
I bought this for my 7 year old grandson for Christmas 2013 and we just used it last weekend in the pool and it worked great for 2 hours...now it will only run for a few seconds and stop. We have 3 batteries and they are fully charged and that doesnt seem to be the issue. What could possibly be wrong with it?? Needless to say We have a very disappointed child.
Hello Melinda, sorry to hear that. Here is the link to the manufacture warranty: http://www.scuba.com/resources/repair/seadoo.asp.
Just got my pro scooter from you. I am diabled 290lbs, excited. I think it will be good for me when I go on a snorkel trip in the VI thid dummer. 1. Can I attach the scooter to me somehow,for when I am in the water but temporarily want to snorkel without using it? 2. Are there bounancy weights or something to use if I try to "dive" underwater with it? Any help/tips will be appreciated.
Hello Joseph, yes you can rig something up top attach this to you. Also in the noes cone there is a space that you can add weight to it to help it sink better. If you have any other questions or would like to place an order please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
I bought a sea doo pro from you the other week. I am excited about taking to the Virgin Islands for a snorkel trip. I want to get a second battery. I see that on yout site. Can I also get a travel bag for the scooter? I saw one offered for another model. Is this available for this model? Thanks.
Seadoo does not offer a carry bag for this model. The sapre battery can be order on the site. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-240/030416/Sea-Doo-Sea-Scooter-Replacement-Battery.html
I just received this scooter for my son who is 7 years old. In reading the manual, it states that this device is not appropriate for anyone under the age of 16. Please advise.
How does one go about getting replacement parts? I have a nose cone with a broken "cheatass plastic" clamp, and now I need a new nose cone. As luck would have it, I cant find any information on the product.
You can contact the manufacturer's repair dept. http://www.scuba.com/resources/repair/seadoo.asp
can the batteries for underwater scooters be carried on commercial airlines, and/or checked in luggage on commercial airlines?
We bought a couple of Sea-Doo Seascooters several years ago and have never used them. I tried to charge the batteries the other day and the chargers will not work (no voltage on the output side and no LED light on charger) I tried charging the batteries with an automotive charger and I cant get them above about 6 volts. Is there any reason the chargers no longer work after sitting in the garage for several years? Is there anything I can do to get the batteries to take a charge? Or is the only solution buy replacements? Again, they have never been used but are several years old.
Unfortunately they are out of warranty by this time. Seeing as they are unused, though, it may be well worth the time to contact SeaDoo directly and inquire if there is anything they may be able to do to help you out, or maybe even advice they have as to why they might not be working correctly.
I have an older Sea-Doo Seascooter and it appears water have got into the motor and it is seized up. Can this be repaired? If so, where in the Toronto area can I take it?
Hello David, that you would need to send directly back to the manufacture directly for repair service. Here is the link to there contact information and address: http://www.scuba.com/resources/repair/seadoo.aspx.

FASHION FIX: It's short but not so sweet
I know, I know. Everyone's talking about the shriekfest of a final we're all going to endure between former champ Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka tomorrow at the Australian Open. It's been fodder for the tennis media and bloggeratti so there's no need for me to add to the noise. But, people, there's something more sinister going on besides the idea of the shriek as gamesmanship (c'mon girls, you're losing the PR battle here). What I find most disturbing does involve Vika, but it's not what's coming out of her mouth, at least not this time. It's what's on her ass: The BOOM BOOMS. There, I said it.
Those white unassuming Nike BOOM BOOMS, on their own, are fine. They work really well in a practice session or match on a smaller court with a small, gathering crowd of drooling young boys and probably a few girls (it's tennis remember). But in a Grand Slam final??? Not. Appropriate. I don't blame the her, though. If I recall correctly, it was Venus Williams who broke the barrier back in 2007 and set the dangerous precedent when she wore white BOOM BOOMS from then-sponsor Reebok during her Wimbledon win against Marion Bartoli:
That's one barrier she should've left alone.
Of course, not everyone feels this way. In fact, some have been complimenting the fact that the BOOM BOOMS give off good leg for Vika. Her agent and former WTA lady baller, Meilen Tu, has been going on about "da legs" on Twitter while reader Wayne said "She looks way hot in those shorts!" over on the Down the Line! Facebook page. Her legs do look good, though "hot" and BOOM BOOMS are reserved, at least here, for shirtless boys in uncompromising positions on the tennis court (or in my head). If this sentiment sounds a little sexist, I'll say in my defense that at the very least I try to remain an equal opportunity offender.
I guess it's too much to imagine she might actually put on something else besides the BOOM BOOMS--maybe a a top with a skirt that actually gives her some curves--for her first major final. Oh, that's the other thing: They're not flattering on her. She's too straight up-and-down. Now, put them on Rafa. Seriously, I think we've got a winner.

I totally agree with you regarding the shorts, but Vika is too much of a tomboy for dresses; she just never pulled those off IMHO. It would be nice if Nike designed a clothing line for her. Maybe some shorts with pockets so she could stop shoving the ball up her underwear.ReplyDeleteReplies
Yeah, no dresses. Separates work better for her. You bring up a good point about all the lady ballers who shove balls up their undershorts. I've actually never noticed if they use that ball or always go to the ball kids for a new one. I can't recall if I've ever seen any of them take a ball from under their shorts.Delete
Maybe it's just habit or something.
Thanks for the shout out Rich, made my day. I know we look at Vika in a very different light, and while I agree her figure is a little too up and down, these shorts are finally giving her an arse! That cannot be such a bad thing for the straight dudes.ReplyDelete
As for taking balls from the undershorts, most of the girls do it for nearly every second serve. Including Vika.Replies
Heh, very different ways. I swear I've never noticed them take the balls from the shorts. What the hell am I looking at? I guess my eyes don't want to go there.Delete

Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - The big boys can finally rest easy.
Jordan Lynch rushed for 160 yards and three touchdowns while adding a passing
score, and Akeem Daniels scored the deciding touchdown in the second overtime
as 19th-ranked Northern Illinois captured its second straight MAC Championship
with an action-packed 44-37 victory over No. 17 Kent State in the conference
title game, spoiling the Golden Flashes' hopes of crashing the BCS party in
the process.
Lynch added 212 yards with one interception on 19-of-34 passing in addition to
his 36 rushing attempts, with Daniels finishing with 128 yards on 17 totes for
Northern Illinois (12-1), which extended its program-record winning streak to
12 games after withstanding a furious fourth-quarter rally from the Golden
The loss was costly for Kent State (11-2) -- and the MAC as well. A victory
would have given the Golden Flashes a good chance of cracking the top-16 of
the BCS standings and thereby automatically qualifying for a berth in one of
the major bowls.
Kent State entered the game ranked 17th in the latest BCS.
The Huskies will have a harder time earning a place in what would likely be
the Orange Bowl, as Northern Illinois was listed 21st in the most recent
Kent State fought back from a 27-13 fourth-quarter deficit with two touchdowns
within an 15-second span, then later forced overtime on Spencer Keith's 19-

Sprayer Collides With Train
(Remsen) -- A sprayer applicator collided with a train on Tuesday evening at about 6:00 p.m. sending the driver of the sprayer to be life flighted to Mercy Hospital in Sioux City. The accident took place near 160th Street and Sunset Avenue, about a mile north of Highway 3. 30 year old David Keffeler of Remsen was operating a John Deere self propelled sprayer. He was approaching a railroad crossing and did not see a westbound Canadian National Train. The sprayer ended in the west ditch. Keffeler was ejected from the sprayer. The train applied its emergency braking prior to impact in order to slow the train. The sprayer was listed as a total loss valued at $265,000. The train sustained over $10,000 in damage to the locomotive. Witnesses to the accident say trees may have obstructed the view of the on coming train. The railroad crossing did not have warning lights or a cross arm. The train's engineer did not have any injuries. Assisting at the scene were the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, Remsen Fire, Remsen Ambulance, Remsen Police, Marcus Police, Marcus Ambulance, and the Iowa State Highway Patrol.

The cost of the election was $19,397.85 or $8.54 per vote. The majority of the election expense went to wages and mileage for election precinct officials. Other expenses associated with the election was the election register, envelopes, programming of memory cards, publications, printing of absentee ballots, postage, and the royalities of the software used for elections.
Supervisors Approve Joining SIMPCO For Housing Trust Fund
(Le Mars) -- In other action, after some long discussion, the supervisors approved the action to join with SIMPCO for a housing trust fund. Plymouth County found themselves in a middle of a battle between two regional housing trust funds, each asking for Plymouth County's participation. The first, which includes Ida and Cherokee counties, and the second being SIMPCO that includes Woodbury and Monona counties, with Sioux City having their own housing trust fund, aside from SIMPCO. Supervisor Craig Anderson is the Plymouth County representative to SIMPCO. He says he urged the two groups to consider combining their efforts to make one regional housing trust fund for the five-county area. However, those efforts were not acknowledged. Kristi Quinn of SIMPCO offered an explaination as to the mission and goal of the newly created housing trust fund.

Supervisor Don Kass questioned if Plymouth County could join the SIMPCO group without making an investment.

The Plymouth County Supervisors approved the resolution to join SIMPCO for a year trial basis, and not to invest any funds in the project.
Plymouth County To Drop Commercial Driver's License Testing
(Le Mars) -- Plymouth County may be forced to discontinue the testing of commercial driver's licenses due to new regulations stipulated by the state and federal government. Plymouth County Treasurer, Linda Dobson told county supervisors the county is currently out of compliance. Initially, the state had set up a June 1st deadline to be in compliance with the new rules. One of those new rules was to have a testing area for truck drivers seeking their commercial drivers license that measured 240 x 138 feet of paved area and clear of any obstacles. Dobson informed the supervisors that the county hasn't been able to locate such an area. Supervisor Jim Henrich asked if there were other counties within the area that are in the same situation as Plymouth County? He wondered where could a person obtain their commercial drivers license and be tested?
Listen here
Dobson informed the supervisors the number of people seeking a commercial drivers license has dropped in half over the last few years going from over 100 licenses issued to now under 50. Keri Borchers, the Drivers License Deputy even further clarified Dobson's remarks.
Listen here
Dobson suggested that Plymouth County consider the option of discontinuing the issuance and testing service of commercial driver's license as of August 1, and instead look at expanding other drivers licenses, such as for motorcycles.
Ice Cream Days Kicks Off Today
(Le Mars) -- Today is the start of Ice Cream Days. There are a number of events taking place, including the "Sittin Pretty Art Exhibit at the Art Center, and the ongoing exhibits featured at the Plymouth County Historical Museum.

Iowa Unveals Plan For Highway Funding
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Iowa has a $2.6 billion plan to rebuild
and upgrade the state's highways over five years.
The IowaTransportation Commission approved the plan on Tuesday for fiscal
2013 through 2017.
It includes reconstruction projects on interstate highways in Sioux City, Council Bluffs and the Quad Cities, as well as work on dozens of other highways across the state. In the Des Moines area,
the plan includes finishing widening Interstate 35 in West Des Moines and building new rest stops on I-35 near Ankeny.
The road program is financed by a mix of state and federal money. This year, the Legislature balked at proposals to raise Iowa's gasoline tax to generate more revenue.
Two Men Sentenced For Child Pornography
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - Authorities say two Iowa men have been given federal prison sentences for downloading child pornography.
News releases from the office of U.S. Attorney Stephanie Rose identify the men as 28-year-old Justin Funck, of Spencer; and 59-year-old Charles Melchert, of Humboldt.
Funck had pleaded guilty in November and on Monday was sentenced to 65 months. He must serve five years of supervised release after he leaves prison.
Melchert had pleaded guilty in December and last week was sentenced to five years. He must serve five years of supervised release after he leaves prison.
Both men must register as sex offenders.
Branstad Wants Unions To Share In Health Insurance Costs
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Gov. Terry Branstad says he'll propose during union negotiations that state employees pay 20 percent of their health care costs.
Branstad told The Des Moines Register (http://dmreg.co/KTfscL ) on Tuesday that, "Everybody ought to have some skin in the game and ought to pay something toward health insurance."
Iowa legislators and most state employees don't share the cost of the insurance premiums.
Officials calculate that Branstad's initiative could save the state almost $111 million a year.
State union leaders have said that not having to pay health care premiums is the employees' trade-off for the lower pay in government jobs.

Hood College provides each student the ability to print at various locations throughout the campus. Printing is available through Hood's wired and wireless networks. Both black-and-white and color printing are available, either through single or dual sided documents. Every Hood student account has a dollar-based print quota for printing. A student must be currently enrolled in classes each semester (including summer sessions) in order to have printing capabilities. NOTE: charge examples reflect black and white printing only, although color printing is available:

How Student Print Quotas work
Every student account is given either $50.00 (full-time) or $25.00 (part-time) at the beginning of each semester. For each black and white page that is printed, .05 ¢ is deducted from that amount and .25 ¢ is deducted for color printing. For example, if a student's current balance is $35.50, that means $14.50 has been used towards the allocated $50.00 with a remaining 710 black and white pages that can be printed.
A student's print quota will be reset to $50.00 (full-time) and $25.00 (part-time) at the beginning of each semester including summer sessions. If you exceed this quota, you can purchase additional increases in increments of $2, $5, $10 and $20. For information on purchasing additional printing quota, click here. Please note that a student's remaining quota, at the end of any semester, will not carry over to the next semester.
Finding Student Print Quota

FLORIDA-- House Bill 227, sponsored by Florida House Representative Kathleen Peters, is on its way to committee.
The bill, named Deviny's Law, aims to prevent boating tragedies like the one that killed 15-year-old Deviny Boese. Boese died after the innertube she was riding on slammed into a dock.
The driver of the boat, a 15-year-old friend of Deviny's, tried to avoid the dock, but the turn didn't alter the innertube's trajectory, killing Boese.
The new bill is supported by Boese's mother who has worked closely with Peters to get the bill signed into law.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- A 46-year-old man considered a prime suspect in a 1997 killing in Portland, Ore., has been arrested in a small Outer Banks community in North Carolina.
Portland Police Sgt. Pete Simpson says Samuel Lee Etheridge was taken into custody Monday by authorities with the Dare County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina. Etheridge was living in the fishing village of Wanchese on Roanoke Island.
Portland cold case detectives were in North Carolina at time of the arrest and interviewed Etheridge there. He is in a detention center awaiting extradition to Oregon.
Simpson on Tuesday declined to release the name of the victim or other details of the 1997 killing, saying the victim's family had not been notified.
Cold case detectives began investigating in January 2012 and discovered new information that allowed them to obtain an arrest warrant for Etheridge.

Ouachita Baptist University will host its 17th annual A Service of Lessons and Carols on Tuesday, Dec. 3, at 7:30 p.m. in McBeth Recital Hall.
A Service of Lessons and Carols has been a tradition at Ouachita since 1997. The traditional worship service dates back to 1880 in England. It was adopted by the chapel at King's College in Cambridge in 1918 and was later broadcast around the world by the BBC on both radio and television.
The following groups will perform a variety of seasonal carols: Ouachita Singers, conducted by Dr. Gary Gerber, professor of music and director of choral activities; Women's Chorus, conducted by Dr. Becky Morrison, assistant professor of music; and Handbell Ringers, conducted by Dr. Rob Hewell, associate professor of music and director of OBU's Worship Studies Program. Congregational carols will be accompanied by organist Adam Haas.
"As we sing the glorious songs of the season, we are all drawn into the great redemptive narrative of Scripture," said Hewell. "We join our hearts and voices in a holy unison reminding us that the gospel is meant for all people in all places and in all times."
Students, faculty, staff and administrators will read selected Old and New Testament scripture passages throughout the service.
The student readers for this year's service include: Amber Easterly, a freshman business administration and management major from Bryant, Ark.; AlleaBelle Gongola, a sophomore psychology major from Dardanelle, Ark.; Hailee Bezet, a junior mass communications and speech communication major from Conway, Ark.; and Korey Byrd, a senior early childhood education major from Cypress, Texas.
Staff, faculty and administration readers include: Tracey Knight, administrative assistant for the Pruet School of Christian Studies; Carol Morgan, associate professor of communication disorders; Dr. Scott Holsclaw, dean of the School of Fine Arts; Dr. Doug Reed, associate vice president for academic affairs and LaDelle Moody Professor of Pre-Law Studies; and Dr. Rex Horne, president. Ian Cosh, vice president for community and international engagement, will continue his annual role as narrator and prayer leader.
"Lessons and Carols is one of the most meaningful services of the Christmas season and of our entire year," said Horne. "I enjoy being present in the service and participating as the last reader."

Ouachita Baptist University will host the Tiger Steel Drum Ensemble's first fall concert on Wednesday, Dec. 4, at 8 p.m. in Mabee Fine Art Center's McBeth Recital Hall. The performance is free and open to the public.
Tiger Steel, directed by Dr. Ryan Lewis, specializes in the performance of calypso and soca (soul/calypso) music from the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago – the birthplace of steel drums – but also performs a wide variety of styles from jazz, pop and rock to classical, funk and Latin.
"Founded in 2013, Tiger Steel is made up of undergraduate students from departments across campus and countries around the world," Lewis said. "Tiger Steel is open to all students on campus, which gives the ensemble a uniqueness and variety in musicians."
According to Lewis, "Tiger Steel is a unique ensemble for its commitment to community involvement. Each steel band member mentors a middle school student in the Clark County Boys and Girls Club Steel Band at Goza Middle School who perform beside their student mentors in mass steel band concerts each year."
In addition to performing steel drum concerts on campus, in public schools and private events, members study the social, historical and cultural context of the instrument, as well as musical aspects such as theory, acoustics, tuning, arranging and composing, Lewis noted.
The Dec. 4 program will include the calypso songs "Jump in the Line" and "Jamaican Farewell" made popular by singer Harry Belafonte, "Suzie" by Ray Holman and "Soca Tatie" by Byron Lee. They also will present the Latin-pop songs "Oye Como Va" by Tito Puente, "I Know You Want Me" by Pitbull and the anonymous steel band standard "El Montuno." To add some variety, they also will perform "St. Thomas" by jazz legend Sonny Rollins and the classical piano piece "Gymnopedie No. 1″ by composer Erik Satie.
The members include: Elizabeth Baker, a senior music performance major from Grapevine, Texas; Aaron Breeding, a freshman instrumental music education major from Springdale, Ark.; Leslie Colbert, a sophomore music major from Beebe, Ark.; Carter Harlan, a sophomore instrumental music education major from Fayetteville, Ark.; Chris Hogan, a junior instrumental music education major from Bartlesville, Okla.; Kristen Liles, a freshman pre-physical therapy major from Whitehouse, Texas; Andre Morman, a freshman education major from Richardson, Texas; Van O'Rorke, a freshman instrumental music education major from Hot Springs, Ark.; John David Whitmore, a junior music major from Rogers, Ark.; Nat Williams, a sophomore music theory and composition major from Little Rock, Ark.; and Cat Williams, a sophomore biology major from Roland, Ark.
Tiger Steel performed their first concert last spring and now presents a campus concert each fall and spring semester, as well as a joint concert with Club Steel from the Boys and Girls Club of Clark County each spring. The joint concert is called Panorama and features both steel bands performing independently and together.
Lewis, assistant professor of percussion, teaches applied percussion, percussion techniques and music history. He directs the Percussion Ensemble, Tiger Drum Line and Tiger Steel Drum Band. Lewis has served on the music faculties of Claflin University, the University of South Carolina and Florida State University.
For more information on Tiger Steel contact Dr. Ryan Lewis at firstname.lastname@example.com or (870) 245-5421.

Perhaps you've heard of Ryan Lochte. No? You haven't? Well then, maybe this will jog your memory.
Yup, he's the swimmer with the grill. Also, he's Jennifer's favorite hot Olympian. And Amanda's favorite Olympian with a tattoo (or rather, he's a guy, with a tattoo, that Amanda mentioned in her post on Olympians with tattoos. Sorry to put words in your mouth, Amanda.) Anyway, point being, a lot of us are kind of interested in this Lochte character. If you count yourself among that group, fortunately, he's provided a guide to what he likes to see women wearing. A short guide, but a guide nevertheless.
In an interview with Women's Health, he told a reporter that he likes to see ladies in "One of my long-sleeve button-down shirts and that's all. The second sexiest thing: white jeans."
So! Here are some ideas for making that happen (how to get Lochte to actually see you is an issue you'll have to address on your own time):

Letters to the Editor
(Page 2 of 4)
The most glaring part of this budget is the 56.4 percent for district payroll and 24.4 percent for benefits. That's 80.8 percent of a $102 million proposed budget for salaries and benefits! Tweak it any way you want and tell me it includes other things, but the two largest items still amount to $82 million. I read about all of the well-intended programs for the schools but the highlighted costs for them are nowhere near what I can only assume is a bloated infrastructure. Superintendent Johnson and his assistants' outsized salaries and perks start to border on the obscene. Nobody in the private sector is ever compensated for unused sick days; getting paid for being healthy, can you imagine? Explain to taxpayers why that is an acceptable expense. There has to be a trickle-down of waste that can be trimmed, but with tax dollars as opposed to private funds paying for everything, is there ever a need to eliminate or scale back a program?
From local school budgets all the way up the line to our federal budget, bloated and wasteful spending is running amok and out of control. If school budgets like these are an absolute necessity, maybe there should be more creative ways to fund them. I'm not asking for a reduction in my school taxes, but going forward maybe those that actually use the system should pay more. Maybe not a popular choice, but I bet it would lead to closer budget scrutiny.

Mad about spending
To the Editor:
It's no secret that taxes are choking Long Island, Nassau County and Rockville Centre. It's gotten to the point where people are considering leaving RVC due to the taxes and our children cannot afford to buy a home here. Yet School Superintendent Dr. William Johnson appears to think we ought to be grateful that the proposed school budget will only provide for an increase that falls within the state mandated tax cap. "Our goal is to get our expenses to match the limit," quoted in last week's Herald ("School budget proposal must get $1.3M cut").
Dr. Johnson seems to think that the homeowners of RVC are a bottomless font of money and no matter the increase, we are all happy to pay even more taxes. Nothing could be further from the truth.

RVC is most likely the worst selfish in the world. In the aftermath of sandy, filthy dirty hungry folks whose homes were destroyed found out a week or two later that RVC folks were in the bars, out to dinner, laughing and enjoying life.
Red Cross, Fema, Mormans, folks from all over USA flew to Southshore to help in devastation
Selfish RVC could care less. RVC rec was too buy doing gymnastics to volunteer space, laundermats would not stay open late to help us wash clothes, RVC police would give out tickets to folks trying to use station while long beach line was closed.
I would never live or raise children there.

Sandeep - This is probably one of the most disturbing and disappointing things to see in an editorial. Rockville Centre residents have helped countless victims of Sandy by providing food, clothes and shelter to those in need. Rockville Centre Recreation Center opened its doors with donations (food and clothing) as well as vans and trucks. Rockville Centre opened school availability to misplaced students for months and continue to do so. This was all done even in the face of RVC residents losing their own homes or their parents homes. I understand you have gone through an awful situation but your anger is unfounded and pointed in an incorrect direction.

Summer annual broadleaf
A summer annual with hairy leaves and stems, reaching 2 feet in height. Hairy galinsoga is primarily a weed of vegetable crops, but it may occur in any cultivated situation. Seedlings have cotyledons that are club shaped with a slightly indented tip. Leaves are opposite, oval to triangular and coarsely toothed. They occur on petioles and are densely covered with hairs on the upper surface. Lower leaf surfaces have hairs that primarily occur on the veins. Many flowers are produced on each plant. They consist of four to five white (less often pink), three-toothed ray flowers (outer flowers) and many yellow disk flowers (inner flowers).

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- More than 243,000 drivers got speed camera tickets along DC-295 in 2012, AAA Mid-Atlantic said in a press release.
The District made nearly $85 million dollars in camera traffic tickets, 28% of that revenue came from the 10-mile DC-295 route. According to the press release, drivers paid $23,792,905 in fines from the districts speed and red-light cameras during 2012.
"In a cruel irony, DC 295 may have the look and the feel of an interstate highway or a U.S. route. But, as a matter of fact, it is the only numbered route in the District that isn't. And drivers who aren't aware of this are paying a high price for that," said John B. Townsend II, AAA Mid-Atlantic's Manager of Public and Government Affairs.
DC currently "has six dozen speed camera enforcement zone locations and nearly 50 red-light cameras stationed around town," the press release stated.
The images above show a breakdown of the top ten speeding cameras and top five red-light camera ticket locations.

Win an Excalibur Dehydrator! And… This Weeks Super Special!Tuesday, April 26th, 2011
I know many of you have heard me talk about how excited I am to be able to offer you amazing products at huge discounts. Its so easy to receive my inside sales and save tons of money on my favorite products! All you have to do is sign up here. You can also read more about how this works on my specials page.
Here's more good news though…
To share in my excitement, Im personally giving away a 9 tray Excalibur Dehydrator to one lucky person who signs up to follow me on Opensky. (Don't worry, if your already signed up, your automatically entered!) This sweepstakes is running now until May 8th. So sign up now! Read more about signing up here.
And if your already signed up to receive my weekly specials, here is today's which just started and will end tomorrow the 27th.
The collection of products in this Living Intentions bundle really hit the mark when it comes to taste! No joke, the Hemp & Greens cereal is one of the best things I've ever tasted. I ate the entire bag in one sitting! It's packed with greens so you wouldn't know it to look at it (I mean, green cereal can look a little weird, I know), but you'll be shocked at how good it is.
Their two versions of Gone Nuts have SO much flavor. They're actually a little spicy; I don't like wicked hot, but these are just right. The sprouted pumpkin seeds have great saltiness to them so I use them as a snack straight out but you can also put them into a salad or mix them with dried fruits like goji berries and cacao nibs for a super-health trail mix.
I know, I'm going on and on, but that's how good this stuff is! Lastly there's the Original Salad Booster – this is really cool. When you're making a salad, even though the raw veggies are nutritious, this is packed with things like spirilina and chlorella that you wouldn't normally get that are so essential. It's like a grain with nice salty, briny kick to it that gives a serious boost to your salad. You can also put it into raw soups, on top of sprouted grains…lots of stuff.
Once you get a taste of these, I'm sure you'll come up with a lot of other ideas for how to use them!
The Details
- Cilantro Lime Pistachios & Pepitas 3.5oz
- Rosemary Garlic Pistachios & Almonds 3.5oz

MABLETON, Ga. -- Among the dozens of great photos that Olympics fans are emailing every day to firstname.lastname@example.com, there was one we received Thursday that had us sending SkyCam to Cobb County, to take a look for ourselves.
The viewer, Michele Peplinski, wanted us to see her friend's front yard.
Her friend, Scott Grayson of Mableton, is a big admirer of Team USA, and a bit of an artist with the lawn mower.
Grayson has been so inspired by the US Olympic athletes, he "mowed" his praise and appreciation for Team USA into his yard, for the whole neighborhood to see -- the five Olympic rings, and "USA."
"I have an inner-tube that I use for going down the Chattahoochee," Grayson said, "and I just set the inner tube out on the lawn and mowed around it" to mow each intersecting Olympic ring.
Then he used a sort-of "free hand" technique to mow the three letters into the lawn.
His neighborhood, off of Cooper Lake Road, is full of beautiful lawns and landscaping.
So Grayson wasn't sure, at first, what his neighbors might say.
He found out, quickly.
"I had a couple of neighbors stop by and give me the thumbs up, and actually I had one neighbor stop by and inform me that they had been on the bobsled team for one of the Olympics, and how much he appreciated it. So I thought that was very nice."
The Olympic spirit all across Metro Atlanta is reminiscent of what Atlanta was like in 1996 when the city hosted the Summer Games.
People are carving Olympic rings in their hair, and wearing "USA" stickers on their cheeks, and dressing themselves and their babies and pets in Red, White and Blue -- and, in at least one instance, mowing their pride and respect into the yard.
To send your own Olympic Spirit photos for us to see and share, email them to email@example.com.

No. 25 Iowa State Sweeps South Dakota

Turning Point of the Match
In spite of being a non-conference opponent thrown right into the middle of the Big 12 schedule, South Dakota showed it was worthy of being on the same court as Iowa State right off the bat. With the score at 13-11, Tory Knuth put away one of her patented quick-set kills, and allowed herself, the Big 12's best server to head back to the service line to fire off four consecutive points, which included a service ace.
After the Coyotes reeled off two straight points, Iowa State put together another 5-0 run, this time on the serving of Mackenzie Bigbee and the attacking prowess of Ciara Capezio. After that the Cyclones were up 23-13 and out of sight in the first set.
Discuss it now. Visit our Facebook page to have your say on the turning point of tonight's match.
Cyclone Match Ball Goes to…
Ciara Capezio. A talking point recently has been the lack of recognition that Capezio had been getting for her stellar freshman campaign. She has not been recognized as Big 12 Freshman of the Week at all this season in spite of being one of only a few freshmen to be playing all six rotations, much less as freshman who was also among the league leaders in service aces and just outside the top-10 in kills and digs.
Part of the reason for that is that while she has been amazingly consistent. In the last 14 matches coming into Tuesday, only twice did she average fewer than three kills a set in a match, but she only averaged more than four per set on two occasions. Weekly conference awards go to the outstanding performances of a week, not always an outstanding performer. On Tuesday it was Capezio, an outstanding performer, who had an outstanding performance.
The freshman led all attackers with 19 kills, the second-most of her career (22 at UNI), and converting at an outstanding .593 hitting percentage, the sixth-highest by a freshman in Iowa State history. Capezio was a machine out of the gates, recording eight kills on 11 attempts in the first frame.
Capezio contributed in other areas too, recording a team-high two service aces, five digs and a solo block.
Honorable mention to Mackenzie Bigbee, who was strong with 13 kills and six digs, Jenelle Hudson, who had her third straight double-double with 41 assists and a match-high 17 digs and to Victoria Hurtt, who came back strong after being shut out in the first set to post nine kills.

Cyclone Notes
*Iowa State is now on a season-high five-match winning streak. ISU's previous best in 2013 was a four-match winning streak to open up the season.
*South Dakota recorded more service aces than the Cyclones, posting four compared to ISU's three. It marked only the fifth time this season a team has had more aces than Iowa State.
*Jenelle Hudson had 41 assists and 17 digs for her third-consecutive double-double and 11th of the season.
*Hudson's 17 digs were a match-high. It marked the first time this season Hudson has led the Cyclones in digs.
*Mackenzie Bigbee's 13 kills marked the 14th time this season and 30th of her career that the sophomore had at least 10 kills.
*Kristen Hahn recorded 15 digs to continue a streak of 61 consecutive matches where Hahn has had at least 10 digs in a match. It was the 86th time in her career Hahn has had at least 10 digs.
*This match was only the third time this season Hahn has not led the Cyclones in digs, the other matches being at Texas Tech (Bigbee) and at Texas (Caitlin Nolan).
*Caitlin Nolan finished the match with 10 digs, the sixth time this season and 19th of her career in which she has reached double figures.
*Ciara Capezio's 19 kills were a match-high and marked the 13th time this season she has recorded at least 10 kills. It was the second-most kills Capezio has had in a match this season, only surpassed by the 22 she had at UNI in a five-set match.
*Capezio now has 230 kills in her freshman campaign, the ninth-most in Iowa State history for a freshman campaign.
*Capezio's two aces moved her into a tie for sixth in Iowa State history for most service aces in a season by a freshman with Tracy Graham, who had 28 in 1988.

I have made a quick search on the zimbra site but have not located anything relevant.
After doing a cross-mailbox search for legal discovery, our attorney would like a printout of the e-mail information, much as you see in the inbox display, i.e. date, from/to, and subject. There doesn't seem to be a way to print this from the user interface, but I was wondering if it could be extracted by program from zimbra. Has anyone done this sort of thing or have any suggestions or pointers for where I can find information on a programming interface for this sort of information.

The New Surrealism: Now With Meaning!
Hello, lovers of comic books and surreal fables! I'm here to tell you a little about Jim Woodring's latest graphic novel, Congress of the Animals.
Lovable Slacker Meets World
Adorably catlike, carefree, and clueless, Frank has the naïve bohemian lifestyle down: a little palace to live in, two oddly lovable pets, and even croquet sets falling out of the sky to provide him with an afternoon's diversion. But when the harsh reality of debt repayment rears its ugly head, he simply can't cope with the drudgery of a day job and takes the easy way out, sabotaging factory equipment and fleeing town with his nefarious accomplice.
Away from his home and unprepared for life in the wild, he is naturally drawn to an amusement park, one unlike any you or I have ever seen. Thinking himself free from responsibility, Frank gets good and lazy, only mustering up energy when there is an opportunity to vandalize ancient statues or take objects of unimagined beauty.
This Is No Hero's Quest
Eventually becoming hopelessly lost, he finds more to worry about than an honest day's work. Chased by the ravenous unknown, he runs until he finds himself on a plateau in view of an awe-inspiring monument (that looks a lot like him!), and he sets out for it. But while his is a spiritual journey of sorts, Frank lacks the integrity to take part in a hero's quest. On his way he stumbles upon inquisitive intestine-worshippers, has a mind-blowing vision, squares off against conjoined monsters, and takes part in a powerfully mysterious ritual of manual labor.
When Frank reaches his destination and knocks on the door, who will answer it? And will he be worthy of their company? Has that adorable knucklehead learned anything at all?
No Spoilers Here
Maybe it seems as if I've told you the whole story already. Not to worry, as I am only giving a basic outline of what Jim Woodring has rendered (without a single word!) in inspirationally meticulous ink drawings. You'll really have no idea of this book's content until you pick it up and view sights that are organically bizarre, beautifully horrific, cryptically disturbing, and genuinely heartwarming.
Other works by Woodring can be found right here.

CWAH helps man care for mother-in-law
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 10:17 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 10:17 a.m.
While mother-in-law jokes are common, Norman Schafer broke the son-in-law mold when he became the caregiver of his mother-in-law, Rosa Nunley.
Help others
To donate to Community With A Heart, send checks to the Marion County Community Development Corporation, 1321 SE 25th Loop, Ocala, FL 34471. Donations are tax deductible. All funds go directly to help people in Marion County.
After his ex-wife died five years ago, Schafer quit his job in retail management and moved from California to Tennessee to take care of Nunley. Now living in Ocala, their only income is Nunley's Social Security, and Schafer gets $200 a month in food stamps.
Their limited income left little room for emergencies, so when the water heater quit working in September, the two resorted to taking sponge baths using water heated on the stove. A certified nursing assistant comes to the house daily to bathe Nunley, so Schafer had to develop a system.
"I keep two pots on the stove and put water in at night," said Schafer. "When the bath lady calls and says she's coming, I turn it up high and the water's ready by the time she comes. It's a pain, but I just live with it, because that's what I have to do."
It's even more difficult to boil water for dishes, said Schafer. A sink-full can take an hour to wash.
Nunley has been on hospice care since October and has been diagnosed with dementia and failure to thrive. Schafer said his mother-in-law's kidneys are failing and, since she can't be left alone, he quit pharmacy technician classes to care for her full-time.
Janai Duncan, a Hospice of Marion County medical social worker, noticed Schafer's dedication in the care of Nunley.
"It's not even her biological son who's caring for her," Duncan said. "It's her son-in-law, and he has put his life on hold to care for her. She requires 24/7, round-the-clock care."
Aware of the family's need for a water heater, Duncan presented the case to the Community With A Heart board. Funds were approved to purchase and install a water heater for $689.77.
"I just thought, these are quality-of-life issues that are so salient to people," Duncan said. "There are issues that we can often take for granted, like taking a hot bath. It's also a sanitation issue, a hygiene issue, so I was eager to pursue it through Community With A Heart."
Needham Plumbing & Electric Service was hired to do the work. Mike Needham, owner of the company, said Tuesday he would give Nunley's job "priority" status and install the water heater within the next couple of days.
Nunley and Schafer also have other needs. The $547 lot rent for their mobile home is past due, and they stand to face a late charge of an additional $30. Their refrigerator is on its last legs, with ice building up inside the refrigeration unit and water dripping from the shelves.
On a more personal level, if Schafer can raise the money to pay for gas, he would like to take his mother-in-law for one last trip to her home in Tennessee, where about 50 relatives will be gathering for their annual Christmas reunion.
"It's been going on longer than I am old," said Schafer of the gathering.
"She always said, 'I'm going to live to be 103. But, I don't expect her to see another Christmas," he added.
