Hi there.
we've a problem we can't figure out alone.
this is the setup:
- ZCS 5 NE Server (old one)
- ZCS 8 OS Server (new one)
We'd try to migrate everything from the old one to the new one.
So what have we done yet:
- Installing ZCS 8 on Ubuntu 12.4 LTS (64Bit)
- imported Server Cert from old ZCS 5 into the trustcacert container of the ZCS 8
- imported all accounts (none of the groups, resources and aliases yet) from old to new
our actual problem is as follows
while the account creation did work, we're unable to add the mailboxes to the new created accounts.
there's only the information on the migration-screen that "x datasources were started, 0 completed and x failed -- finished" but there is no obvious error messege, where we can see why it won't work.
If I try to import with other credentials, or with other connection type (SSL/TLS/clear) i'll get this error messege every time:
Mail: data source already exists: __imap_import__ Errorcode: account.DATA_SOURCE_EXISTS Method: [unknown] Details:soap:Sender
so my intention is to somehow delete this que. I want a clean import que so I can try again with other credentials and same accounts. Otherwise I soon will get out of possible accounts and can't go on further without reinstall ZCS 8.
is there any one who is able to help me?
it maybe would also be very nice to know how to import the mailboxes correctly. because imapcopy (or imapsync) won't work for us. These tools are unable to copy the date/time of most of our e-mails. we'd try this several times before we'd kick this tool out ouf our focus.

Jersey City, NJ (Sports Network) - Desi Washington scored a game-high 24
points, hitting 4-of-5 shots behind the 3-point line, as the Saint Peter's
Peacocks posted a 72-62 win over the Siena Saints in Metro Atlantic Athletic
Conference action at the Yanitelli Center.
Washington, who converted 5-of-7 from the floor for the Peacocks (8-16, 3-11
MAAC), also nailed all 10 of his chances at the free-throw line as the team
snapped a two-game slide. Chris Burke and Darius Conley accounted for 11
points apiece in the triumph.
The Saints were paced by O.D. Anosike who registered yet another double-double
with 18 points and a game-high 16 rebounds, followed by Rakeem Brookins with
15 points, although the latter shot just 4-of-12 from the floor. Also having a
tough time shooting the ball was Evan Hymes as he made only two of his 11
chances on the perimeter in the team's third straight setback.
Siena shot a sizzling 62.5 percent from the floor in the first half, adding a
perfect 6-of-6 at the charity stripe, but the team led by just seven points at
the break, 39-32.
In the second half the Saints fell apart, knocking down a mere 6-of-29 from
the field and 1-of-12 beyond the arc, as they allowed Saint Peter's to bounce
back and claim the win.
With his efforts on the glass this afternoon, Anosike became just the third
player in program history and the ninth MAAC player to register at least 1,000
rebounds in his career.

The S+L Forum Rules + Critique Advice Article - MUST Read Before You Post!
Hey and welcome to S+L!
Please note before anything, that if youre asked to read the rules and then further break any of the following it will result in a warning.
Now that is out of the way...
You may only post work written by yourself, if your thread does not contain this, it will be closed.
Discussion of your favourite lyricists can be conducted in the Techniques forum or the Community Thread. Musician theory questions go in Musician Talk
This is restricted to one piece per day; two per 6 days. Any extra threads will be closed and youll have to wait 5 days before you can post another piece, posting again will result in a warning.
Do not hyperlink to a piece elsewhere, the lyrics must be contained within the thread and do not post more than one piece in a single thread.
Only the title of the piece and the genre/style (e.g. Screamo/Poetry) are allowed in your titles. If you cant think of one Untitled will suffice. With the exceptions of W.I.P. (Work In Progress) and O.T.S. (On The Spot) which are permitted.
Any of the following are not permitted:
It is expected that for every piece you post, you critique at least 3 others. Without this the forum could not survive.
The more you comment on the more replies you are likely to get. You may leave a link to your piece at the bottom of every critique you finish; this makes life easier for them to find your piece. If someone comments on yours, you are expected to return the favour to them.
Any offensive replies to pieces will be dealt with at the Mods discretion, this includes spam.
Do not post in your own thread to bump it to the top of the forum for no reason; the only time should be when you are replying directly to a question asked.
Do not double post at any time, use the edit button on your first comment.
There will be an instant warning for anyone that posts in his or her thread to bump it, and then deletes the post we can see it.
No polls are allowed in the main S+L forum.
This is down to a Mods discretion. If you are unsure about your piece contact a mod first. Anything referencing: Racism, Homophobia, sexism, insulting and generally needless violence will be deleted on the spot.
You can post any form of original work, this includes: Lyrics, Poetry, Prose, Parodies, Short Stories, Screenplays and Scripts. There is no limit on the length of pieces; but a standard post has a maximum of 10,000 characters, they can be as short as 1 line too.
This is only allowed if you have made dramatic revisions to your piece, i.e. replaced a stanza, minor edits can be made to the original thread.
Do not under any circumstances repost a piece because you received no critiques, youll get a warning.
If you have had your thread closed for an infringement of the rules you may repost the thread immediately, correcting the mistake that was highlighted by the Mod upon closing. (This does not include breaking the posting limit rule.)
By this we mean threads infringing one of the above rules, any argumentative posts or pointless posts. Follow these steps:
Here is a little bit of info on all the stickied threads we have in S+L:
Writing of The Week
This is for the home grown talent in S+L. It is decided by a secret panel of users, who nominate pieces and decide at the end of each week on a single piece to be displayed at the top of the forum.
The Community Thread
Our hang-loose thread, theres little in the way of rules, (they can be found in the first post of the thread). Use it to introduce yourself, post a picture and talk about anything you want, as per site rules of course.
The Feedback Thread
If you have a suggestion or complaint about S+L then post it here, it is open for anyone to question or answer, everyone will discuss your post and a decision, hopefully reached. However, a Mods word is final.
Writer of The Month
On the 1st of every month a nomination thread is stickied for 7 days; here you may nominate 1 writer you think deserves recognition for their work that month. (The rules can be found in the thread itself) Then a 7 day public Poll Thread will replace the nominations and you have one vote to cast on your favourite from the list. The Poll winner will fill out our questionnaire and have it stickied in place of the Poll Thread for the remainder of the month; it is the highest recognition for a writer in S+L.
Right so this article isnt designed to lecture you about critiques, its a guide, some easy to follow steps to help you help others. Bare in mind this is how I critique, it might not be the best nor the most helpful way, but it should help nonetheless. If anyone wants to add anything feel free to contact me via PM.
Helpful Sites and Books:
Also track yourself down a copy of "Eats shoots and leaves" its an invaluable companion. If you're really beginning to get into the poetry side of things 'the poetry handbook' by John Lennard is a must. "It draws examples from authors ranging from Virgil to Milton to Donne to Eliot to Cummings to Bob Dylan. (Thanks Gurgle!Argh! for the recommendation.)
Saying yeah this is rly gd, I <3 it. Now do mine! isnt a critique, and quite frankly Id give you nothing in return. (N.B. If you're caught again after a verbal warning, official warnings will be made) Critique someone else as you would like to be critiqued. If they dont return it, stick em in a black book.
Im going to lay this out in a step-by-step basis:
1 Read through the piece at least once, preferably two or three, read it out loud, this is essential, so as to gauge what its about, the writers intentions and distinguish the type of poetry/prose or lyrics it is. Upon second read try to look for any techniques the writer has used, things you could comment on later.
2 Break down each stanza one by one focusing on faults. (detailed below)
Firstly look for overall tense issues, changes from past/present/future tenses, that dont seem intentional. It is a common error, and is normally down to using the wrong word format.
Then look over the basic grammar, are full stops and semi colons (misuse is abundant on these forums) are correctly used, etc. I would like to stress here that while in lyrics its possible to get away with, poetry usually benefits from using grammar, it can aid flow, emphasise certain words and generally alter the tone of piece, so try to help with this too.
However please exercise caution when correcting grammar. Poetic License is also in action on these boards; allowing the writer to use commas in unconventional places thus altering flow and tone among other things. Just take a closer look a think could this be intentional.
Spelling mistakes are a minor issue, but sometimes the writer makes a typo or more usually they just cant spell and wouldnt normally notice. Hurt those people.
Much like the above, occasionally a writer will appear to be spelling a word wrong where in reality you might not know of its existence or it is fully intentional. Take 'timbers' and 'timbres' for example. Also it is possible a writer will create a neologism, (the combination of two existing words to make another with clashed meanings).
Next look for clichés, now many newer writers conform to their favourite artists, and thus dont know any different, try and give them hints on Metaphors and Simile, its a good basic start for them, Also if they use cliché words; pain/hurt/falling/shatter/heartbroken etc. Then suggest some synonyms for them. Iterate its not a problem to use a thesaurus, but do emphasise that using a word they dont know the meaning to can effect their usage of it. I.E. wrong tense etc.
Rhyme: I have no problem with rhyme but when its used poorly it can greatly diminish a pieces quality, using standard rhymes like; eyes/disguise, pain/vain, heart/part etc. Point out overused rhymes and give a few options to them. Also point out the benefits of not rhyming in places. The fact that rhyming constrains the writer into a few words , whereas if they werent rhyming theyd have a plethora of words to convey the message, so its a trade off.
Flow. This is a major issue with songs, yeah they look good, but does it really flow, you can have a really clever line ruined by the fact it doesnt flow with the rest. By flow I mean as you read the piece do you find yourself having to cover your tracks, stop and think too much or just find yourself getting tongue tied. Advise them on certain techniques that aid flow, rhyme is one, but more subtle techniques include Alliteration (words beginning with similar sounds In the midst of mist) Assonance (words containing similar vowel sounds "The balloon floated to the moon") or the more subtle internal rhyme.
Structure is important too, any piece can be ruined by poor structure; songs tend to have a set scheme, 4 line stanzas being the most evident. With songs structure usually isnt as important as it is in poetry, whereby isolating single words can emphasise the meaning and cutting lines in half so as to make the reader ponder further the reasoning behind it. Does the piece seem too cluttered, or would a certain line sound better away from the main stanzas.
Diction is one of the vital aspects of writing, choosing the right word at the right time is a skill, and the larger your vocabulary the easier it is. Sometimes you will come across a word that seems out of place, point it out and offer an example of replacement. Dont be shy about looking words up either; after all youre learning something too.
Its always worth mentioning the content too, sometimes a piece can be spoiled by a certain metaphor that doesnt fit, or perhaps a line that takes away some of the meaning, other times parts may seem utterly confusing, occasionally youll find words or lines that are just there for show and carry little or no meaning whatsoever.
Finally add any personal preferences, likes/dislikes to content and/or certain metaphors etc. This is important, but generally not why the writer wants you to critique the piece. While it does carry some weight to the ego, the writer should know that one mans mum, is another mans fantasy.
3 At the end I like to give a summary; an overall impression on the piece as a whole and how it left me feeling. Ratings out of 10 mean nothing; youre likely to change the system the very next day anyway. Say why you liked it. Perhaps offer them a general hint as to their writing as a whole, maybe youd like to see them tackle a more rigid structure, or loosen it, perhaps cut the rhyme. Also if you recognise a style it may be worth suggesting some writers/poets or even fellow users who may appreciate their style.
Approach a song with rhythm and flow in mind, remember that parts may not be grammatically correct, nor will it read like a book. Certain filler words may be left out so as to compensate for structure. Whereas with poetry remember to look at it line-by-line, carefully paying attention to personal inflections or neologism (creating a new word, usually through the combination of two existing words) by that I mean the writer may twist the conventional usage of adages, phrases or words. Not to say that a song cant but its usually poetry which allows this freedom.
Id also like to add here that there is no harm in giving short critiques, if the piece is pretty solid and theres little fault to be found then say a few words, pick out the pieces weak spots, even if they are still good, but are generally weaker than the rest, its something. As long as you contributed something the writer should have no qualms with you. You need to pick your full-critiques carefully, so as to benefit the right people. A decent critique should take around 10-15mins.
Hopefully that is of some help. Words in red are found explained in the Lyrics Tips thread found HERE

it's a totally different direction from most 4 season tents out there and i know a lot of guys use these Tipi style tents...but for some reason i never see any reviews on them...and they're a fantastic option when it comes to lightweight and warm. one of the things i've always hated about camping in the winter is trying to cram all your gear into the tent to keep it dry and out of the elements. the next thing that has always bothered me was mud and snow getting into a tub bottom tent, you always end up with some sort of moisture and dirt (which eqauls MUD) hanging around the entrance of the tent. the open floor design is not as bad as you'd think until you try it. yes you can get dirt on your stuff...but with a small tarp to stack gear on and everything neatly in stuff sacks you can keep it dry and clean.
the best part about this style tent, and what i've come to love to the most is that all the gear...pads, sleeping bags, tripods, rifles, packs and whatever else you might need can go under the tent and stay dry. my buddy and i use an 5 man Wyoming Lost and Found Tipi tent...which is more than big enough for the two of us and all our gear. you could easily fit three big guys and all the gear for a 10 day hunting trip underneath..and that's with a stove in the way. without the stove...4 guys and all the gear no problem! another benefit...the tent only weighs 3.5lbs!
now onto the stove. for those hunts when the temps plummit....there is no better option than the Ti-Goat cylinder stove to be used along with the tipi tent. all together the stove weighs 1lb 10oz with the titanium stove pipe!!!!! that's less than 6lbs for a tent large enough to hold 4 guys and all thier gear...while being cozy warm in the middle of winter. you can get the tent up to about 55-60 degrees in 10 degree weather..and i'm not making that up. it gets warm as hell inside the tent...in 20 degree weather i was lying on top of my bag because it was too hot. i've heard of a lot of guys that pack summer bags in the winter time while using this tent/stove combo...it's a nice way to save a few pounds. plus..you can split up the parts. the tent, the tent pole, the stove body, and the stove pipe can all be packed seperate to spead out the weight among friends.
now you do need to be careful at night...if you roll into the stove with your nice new sleeping bag...you're going to melt it. embers can of course melt and pop your infaltable sleeping pad. the trick here is to make sure the stove mouth faces away from everything important and try not to burn pine too much last year we burned nothing but sappy wood and we had no problems...just need to pay attention.
the stove starts up and gets cooking easily...small kindling and some vasaline cotton balls is all you need to get it burning. it takes a little practice to get used to the flu design..but once you get the hang of it you can get it nice and red hot at with a slow burn. the stove will burn for about an hour after being stuffed with wood....so someone has to feed the beast during the night. i found the stove was a nice way to warm up the tent to get to sleep...and then after that my bag kept me warm. but if it is crucial to have it going all night...someone will have to feed it to keep it going.
so there it is...seems like i blew through this so if the review flows weird...i appologize. if you like standing up while getting dressed, keeping your rifle and spotting scope dry..and keeping toasty warm next to a fire...all while being in your tent...then this is definitelty worth looking into. the setup is not cheap...but then again neither are 4 season tents. this tent makes a great summer tent also...and if you hike with dogs...there's no floor there to put little claw holes in
hope you've enjoyed,

A wow-wee (pricey) over-the-top 6 feet tall and 5 feet wide dollhouse that's big enough to use with American Girl and other 18" dolls. Our testers couldn't get over how enormous this pretend setting is when fully constructed. Our parent testers thought this 100% pine wood frame went together well. The front of the house has a design --but here's the deal. SAFETY NOTE: You have to use the SAFETY STRAP included to prevent this oversized structure from tipping over. So the design on the front isn't something you're going to see once you've put it together and secured to the wall. Of course this means that this is also a dollhouse for playrooms with lots of space. The product is marked for kids 8 & up, but we know it will be purchased for kids much younger - and even tall 8 year olds will need a stool to reach the top. So the safety strap is essential.

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- Washington Animal Rescue League has a new Pet Of The Week: Esperanza.
WARL writes:
If ever there was a miraculous transformation, Esperanza is it. This 1.5-year-old hound mix was discovered on the side of the highway, competing with buzzards for road kill. When she arrived at the Washington Animal Rescue League, Esperanza was literally starving to death. And it turns out that lack of food wasn't the only reason for her emaciated condition. When she failed to thrive, despite regular feeding, WARL veterinary staff performed surgery, which revealed a corn cob blocking her intestines. That surgery marked a turning point for Esperanza. With the corn cob removed, she slowly began gaining weight. And, today, after months in the care of WARL staff, she's a happy, healthy, energetic girl who, as you can see from the video clip, loves to play fetch and is ready for a home of her own...one where she can be pampered like a princess without competing with children or other dogs for food and attention. After all she's been through, can you blame her?
To find out more about adopting Esperanza, visit warl.org.

Colorado Cowboy
Been doing the Christmas Card thing and thought I'd wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Happy New Years are in the offing too. Notice I said years.... I am in the process of firming up my 2014 Elk hunting plans. I already have a wilderness hunt for Deer in 2013 set up in my old stomping grounds in California with family and friends. Will also hunt elk here in Colo. I have picked an outfitter for a wilderness Elk hunt for 2014 here in Colorado, just trying to decide ML or Rifle. I'm 71 now and need to really keep doing the wilderness hunts as long as I am able to. There is just nothing like them. I've about 30 of them now.
God bless you and good health to all:cool:

Hi Javamann and welcome to the guild!
I've moved your map from the finished maps section to the work in progress section as it looks like you are still improving on it.
Wow, that is a strong green. Glad you're getting rid of it!
I began working on a map of the town our current campaign is based in.
Yeah I know the background green color is awful! I just wanted to get the basic Idea on "paper" then change the colors around. All this work was done in paintshop pro with elements of CCW3.
I then expanded the map and put in the abandoned keep that sits above the town.
Yep still that awful fluorescent green.
Time to do something about that background! I tried all kinds of textures and colors but nothing made me happy, so I began browsing the tutorials and found Realistic-Land-Mountain-Texture-Made-Easy and after several trials in photoshop I came up with this.
Hi Javamann and welcome to the guild!
I've moved your map from the finished maps section to the work in progress section as it looks like you are still improving on it.
Wow, that is a strong green. Glad you're getting rid of it!
Actually it's finished but it required several posts.
So it's time to put them together, add some map elements, some roads, water, a few farms, and a border.
I'm pretty happy with the way it came together but I felt with such an upgraded background I needed to upgrade everything else.
Most of the plant life was from CCW3. For the buildings I used the outlines I had before and "reskinned" (is that the right word?) them with a more realistic look and added some more farms.
Finished project! (sorta lol)
Redid some of the colors for the printing process (I have a friend who can print it out at 5' x 5'!) Reworked the keep and added the shadow of the mountains that the town was named for.
I'd say 80% of this was done with Paintshop Pro 7 (an oldy but a goody) and the rest in Photoshop.
Any suggestions before this goes to print?
I guess it's too late now to change (but as long as you are happy with it, that is all that matters), but the main thing that stands out on the map to me is that so many elements (houses and orchards) are aligned in the same direction (N/S) which seems a little unnatural.
I love the texture you're using for the roofs - the buildings themselves look great. The ground looks a little monotone in comparison. Have a look at the Genetica free textures. There's a tiling grass texture there called 'Just add bison' which might go really well with this map, although you'd probably have to lay something else on top of it to give it more variation. Likewise with the roads, perhaps a couple of textures overlaid on top with a cloud layer mask to muddy them up some.
Hope this helps!
I agree with the N/S alignment thing. The execution of the map is great, it's just layout that looks a bit off to me. And also that some of the buildings are just huge compared to the little houses, though I don't know the scale.
Most old buildings with only a single roof won't be huge. Instead, huge buildings will be square or rectangular with a central courtyard and a roof for each side. Or multiples of that form (the term "wing" basically comes from the fact that large buildings have long narrow buildings jutting out from the sides of the core). It's simply down to the fact that you don't have steel I-beams to span the roof with, you're relying on wood, and trees are only so tall. That said, it's not impossible with some fancy architecture, but that is far from the norm.
So for example, Four Corner's Shipping seems to have an enormous roof compared to the houses on carnival lane (oh by the way, I like your street names =).
As said, execution is good. I think the map looks great (I've not got any graphical critique) other than those two things.
Thanks guys, I will be reworking this again (free printing ) and the building alignment was the one thing that stood out to me as well. As far as the building size, pretty much anything bigger than the delvers in is a warehouse and the roofs will probably be replaced with tin tiles in the next revision because of size. I also plan to muddy up the town some and add a bit more vegetation to the surrounding countryside. Also roughing up the hedges (the look of them is buggin me!)
I know the roads need some work as well but not exactly sure which direction I want to take with them yet.
Thanks again!

|Another Perspective
|Written by Lori Pankonin, The Imperial Republican
Welcome to my world, Preslin Lorelle Lutz
What better way to anticipate celebration of the Christ child's birth than to celebrate the REAL birth of Preslin Lorelle Lutz.
We met our precious third grandchild Friday afternoon when we took Austin, 6, and Tayvin, 2, to greet their brand new sister. Such a perfect little human with a tiny nose, ears, fingers, toes and lots of dark hair. Life truly is a miracle.
Austin very confidently held the little bundle and immediately started to talk to her. Tayvin, on the other hand, appeared afraid. She not only had no interest in holding that baby who we've all been talking about, but it took some coaxing to get her to get close enough to even take a look.
As we anticipated the birth, I took the kids to the store to get some makings for little ginger bread houses. Actually graham cracker houses would be more accurate, but it gave us an activity to help decorate for the holidays and have some fun creative time. Grandma was easy when the kids saw other treats that they wanted and Austin ended up with a box of Spiderman treats while Tayvin chose the My Little Pony version.
Austin was off to kindergarten and Tayvin came home with me so that "Mom and Dad" could head for the hospital when the time was right. She kept talking about the pony treats and we went to the library to see if we could find a My Little Pony video or books as well as some "new baby" books.
We ended up just picking out something else and she wanted to watch the "Elmo" video again and again. I was so impressed when Breanna called from the library later that day. She had rounded up a whole stack of pony and new baby books. Wow. Service with a smile.
"No," was Tayvin's immediate response when asked if she wanted to read a baby book. "Yes," was her answer when approached with a pony book. Fortunately, many of the new baby books involved animal characters so we could approach that topic after all.
Interesting. She had been sleeping with a little cuddly dog and cat. Dolls have never been her interest. It made me recall the time when I had put a little doll in her crib. She was old enough to pull herself up and she stood up and threw that doll on the floor before finally settling down to fall asleep. Hmmm.
Another time she was with me when we stopped to see relatives and she was pushing a little buggy. Later we discovered that she found some animals to ride in the buggy and the dolls were face down in the other room.
So how was this new baby going to fit into her life? Often times little girls are awed with little babies and already that wasn't her tendency. I noticed when we went to the hospital that she kept telling her daddy, "I'm a princess." There's some definite psychological action in those little minds and you can understand the trauma if she thought even for a second that
someone else might take over the "princess" role that she had established in the family.
Upon their first day when the whole family was "home," Austin was thrilled to discover his first loose tooth. He was sure to share his news with Baby Preslin.
Tayvin still turned down any suggestion of holding the baby. However when her mommy gave the baby to Daddy and dropped one of the blankets, Tayvin took a big step by tossing the blanket to the baby.
That connection will grow I'm sure.
What better gift for a child than the treasure of "love." Both Austin and Tayvin are quick to say, "I love you," and when seeing the family together, it's very obvious that love is real.
Congratulations, Brooke, Jeff, Austin and Tayvin on the new addition to your family. Welcome to my world, Preslin. I can't wait to get to know you better!! I love you!

Supervisors Decide To Permanently Close Road
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Board of Supervisors made the decision to vacate a stretch of Quarry Road found in section 26 of Elkhorn township. During their weekly meeting held on Tuesday, the supervisors heard testimony from county engineer Tom Rohe and representatives from Northwest Iowa REC and Frontier telephone. Earlier this year a bridge located on the road had collapsed. There are no residents living along the proposed closure of road.
Supervisors Approve Mental Health Region
(Le Mars) -- The Plymouth County Supervisors gave their approval for a regional mental health program that would be comprised of Plymouth, Sioux, Cherokee and Woodbury Counties. Ida County officials have made inquiries about the new region and there is a possibility that Ida County may also join the new mental health region, but as of yet, Ida County has not acted. Plymouth County supervisors' chairman Jim Henrich signed the letter of intent addressed to State Mental Health Director, Charles Palmer. In the letter, it states that the four counties have a long history of meeting the mental health needs of their respective constituency in a compassionate and conscientious manner, and are committed to working cooperatively to meet the needs of those that reside within the region.
Sheriff's Office Investigates Motorcycle Accident
(Akron) -- The Plymouth County Sheriff's Office received a 911 call of a motorcycle accident on Saturday afternoon near the intersection of K-18 N and Hwy 12. The sheriff's office responded as well as Akron Fire and Ambulance. The driver of the motorcycle, William Kryger, of Sioux City, was transported to Mercy Medical Center. Kryger was south west bound on K-18 when he lost control and entered the ditch. The investigation is continuing in the accident. The Plymouth County Sheriff's Office was assisted by Akron Fire and Ambulance, and the Sioux City Police Dept.
Le Mars Man Dies In Truck Accident
(Salix) -- A Le Mars man has died resulting from injuries sustained in a traffic accident Monday morning. 54 year old John Anthony was driving a semi tractor trailer west on 280th Street three miles east of Salix. The vehicle went through a curve, entered the west ditch and overturned, according to an Iowa State Patrol accident report. Anthony was taken to Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, where he died from his injuries. That accident happened early Monday morning.
Hogs Stolen From Confinement Facilities
(Orange City) -- The Sioux County Sheriff's Office is investigating a burglary that occurred at a hog confinement, three miles south of Sheldon, IA. Sometime during the night of Saturday, November 10 or the early morning of Sunday, November 11, someone forced open a locked door to the confinement. Once inside, the person was able to load 155 to 165 finished pigs weighing between 265 to 270 pounds onto a semi trailer. The estimated value of the pigs is $38,000.
If you saw a semi-tractor with a livestock trailer near the intersection of Highway 60 and 360th Street during the time of this crime, you are asked to contact the Sioux County Sheriff's Office. You may also use our Text-A-Tip program to report any information if you wish to remain anonymous.
Iowa State's New Lobbyist Has Connections To Regent
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa Board of Regents says spokesman for Regent Bruce Rastetter's investment business has bee named the next lobbyist for Iowa State University.
The board announced Tuesday that Joe Murphy will become ISU's state relations officer.
Murphy has worked as public affairs director for Rastetter's firm, the Ames-based Summit Group, for more than a year.
Murphy served as Rastetter's spokesman during a complaint over whether he violated conflict of interest rules in pursuing a development in Tanzania with Iowa State, which was eventually
dismissed. Rastetter is the board's no. 2 official and an ally of Gov. Terry Branstad.
Murphy previously worked three years as the state relations officer for University of Northern Iowa.
Murphy replaces Ann McCarthy, who assumes a new role coordinating economic development policy for the board.
Branstad Asking Congress To Save Wind Tax Credits
(Washington) -- Warning that tens of thousands of jobs are at stake, governors in wind energy states are calling on Congress to renew an expiring tax break.
Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad and Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber said at a teleconference Tuesday that uncertainty over the future of the wind energy production tax credit already has hurt the industry -
which employs 75,000 people and drives more than $10 billion a year in economic development.
Branstad and Kitzhaber lead the Governor's Wind Energy Coalition, which represents 28 states.
The credit was first signed by President George H.W. Bush and backed by a number of prominent Republicans. But it stalled in Congress this summer amid opposition from conservative House
Republicans, who argued it was wasteful spending.
Stephanie Rose Sworn In As Federal Judge
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Former prosecutor Stephanie Rose is now the nation's youngest federal judge and the first female federal judge in Iowa's Southern District.
The 39-year-old former U.S. attorney for Iowa's Northern District took the oath of office at a Tuesday ceremony in Des Moines. U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder attended the swearing-in
at the federal courthouse.
Rose, of Center Point, received attention during her Senate confirmation hearing in September for her role in prosecutions stemming from a 2008 raid by federal immigration officials on
Agriprocessors, Inc., in Postville.
Critics alleged that hundreds of workers at the kosher meatpacking plant, many in the country illegally, were rushed through the court process. Despite that, she was overwhelmingly
Rose became the Northern District's U.S. attorney in 2009.
Substitute Bus Driver Accused of Being Mean To Students
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Some parents have reported that a substitute school bus driver shoved kids and yelled at them during their ride home from a Des Moines elementary school.
District officials say their investigation found no wrongdoing. The parents don't agree with the district's assessment and want the driver fired.
A group of parents whose kids attend South Union Elementary School have filed a police report that says the driver physically assaulted several students on Monday afternoon.
One parent, Brandy Gooding, says that besides shoving the students, the driver "was slamming on his brakes, making the kids fly forward on the bus." She also says he was profane when talking
to the students and parents.
Three Iowa Students Compete in "Bible Bee"
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - Three Iowa children will be pitting their memories against around 300 other contestants in the National Bible Bee.
The event begins Wednesday and runs through Saturday in Sevierville, Tenn.
15-year-old Joshua Bontrager and his 10-year-old brother, Taylor, from Kalona, will compete, as will 13-year-old Andrew Adams, of Clive.
There are different requirements for the various age divisions. In Joshua's senior division, for example, contestants are required to memorize 700 verses from the Bible books of 1 Timothy and 2
Taylor says the competition "gives you a chance to have God's word in your heart, and I also like the competition."
The 300 contestants in the finals are vying for $260,000 in prize money.

An alternative to the after-prom bacchanal
(Page 3 of 3)
Fran Licausi, the Wellness Council's current executive director; Emilio Manzo, its president; and Calhoun PTA leader Phyllis Guttilla have kept the partying going. This year the council teamed up with the Rock Underground, a Bellmore music school, to hold a battle of the bands at the Brookside School in North Merrick that raised more than $5,000 for this year's post-prom party, which will be held at Zachary's in East Meadow. Local businesses and donors will provide the rest.
If your school district is fortunate enough to have a post-prom party, please consider donating funds, goods or services to it. If not, think about why there isn't one. A substance-free post-prom party sends a powerful message to teens: The adults in your life care deeply about your well-being. You matter.

|Ryel takes over as manager for district wildlife
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
In her search for a higher quality and slower pace of life, Aimee Ryel has taken over as the new district wildlife manager for Phillips and Sedgwick counties.
Having spent the past 13 years in Loveland as the district wildlife manager and the two years prior to that in Denver, Ryel stated that she is looking forward to living in a rural community again. She noted that working in the city can be "overwhelming and life-stealing."
With a week under her belt in northeastern Colorado, Ryel is focusing on identifying the needs of the community and the needs of the wildlife. She has also placed an emphasis on getting to know as many people as possible. Developing relationships with the people of the community is something she is very much looking forward to.
As the district wildlife manager, Ryel will be responsible for public outreach, hunter recruitment and retention and a number of educational courses throughout the year. She stated that her favorite part of the job is "the people and the opportunity to do a variety of jobs. No two days are the same."
Ryel's initial interest in the field came when she was growing up in a rural community in Brighton.
"I always just had an interest in the outdoors and knew I was never going to be able to work in an office; little did I know how much paperwork a government job has," Ryel joked. "I was fortunate enough to go to Colorado State University, and the job found me."
During her time at CSU, Ryel studied wildlife biology.
In her free time, Ryel said she enjoys gardening, canning, crafts and exploring.

Her mom Rachel emailed us this week with an update. Gracie Lynn is growing up healthy and strong.
Rachel said the now 3 year old's last echocardiogram showed her heart valves have closed, so her preemie hurdles are now over.

One of my tasks for this week is draining and storing all the garden hoses. (Yes, ALL. An acre of land+no sprinkler system=lots of hoses.)
Often there's one that I finally decide is beyond repair and needs to be put out to pasture. But what to do with these steel, plastic, and rubber aggregates? Many recyclers won't take them, landfills hate them. The best thing I can think of is to repurpose them.
First option is to turn a leaky hose into a leakier hose: poke some more holes in it and use it as a soaker hose.
If it's not up to that task, you can cut it into lengths for all kinds of applications:
Or if you're feeling crafty:
And if you just can't get enough hose-related goodness, have no fear, Pinterest is here.

Car overturns during late night crash
Published: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 1:17 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 at 1:17 p.m.
OCALA - One vehicle overturned during a two-vehicle crash late Tuesday on a busy Ocala roadway.
Officers said a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo driven by Roosevelt Trimble, 22, pulled next to a curb in the far outside eastbound lane in the 1200 block of Southeast 17th Street because there was a problem with the vehicle.
A 2009 Hyundai Elantra driven by Laurel Bax, 24, did not see the Jeep in time and struck it from behind, causing her vehicle to overturn. Trimble, who was standing next to the Jeep, also was hit, according to reports.
Officials said Bax got out of her car and provided aid to Trimble until emergency personnel arrived.
Trimble was taken to Munroe Regional Medical Center, where he was treated and released. It was clear from reports if Bax was taken for treatment.

|What and who is a veteran?
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
He's a man who looks the work in the eye. He's a man who feels an extra heart tug when the flag goes by. He's a man who steps a little faster wen he hears the beat of a military band. He's a veteran.
He comes in all assorted sizes and shapes. He's a short man. He's a tall man. He is the "doughboy" of WWI. The G.I. of WWII. He's a man who's seen Korea's skies and fought the cold and silent battle of uneasy Berlin. He's a veteran.
He is sailor, soldier and marine. He is flyer seabee and coast guard. He is artillery, infantry, medic, chemical corps, armored and ordinance. He's a veteran.
He has the quiet dignity of a man who knows the price of freedom. He has the clear eyes of a man who respects himself. He is courage living on Main Street. He is patriotism mowing the lawn on Saturday afternoon. He is good citizenship with a smile on his face. He's a veteran.
He is republican, democrat or independent. He is father, grandfather, husband and bachelor uncle. He is plumber, doctor or salesman. He is mechanic, farmer or banker. He is Catholic, Protestant or Jew. He is rich and poor and in between. He's a veteran.
He's a man who loves peace because he knows the price tag of war. He's a member of history's most exclusive fraternity. He's been there. He's a veteran.
He likes the majesty of American mountains and the tranquility of America's valleys. He likes the bustle of America's cities and the friendliness of America's Main streets. He likes the sound of America's children playing on American playgrounds. He likes to see the flag go by and hear the sound of an American bugle playing "Taps." He's a citizen soldier. Peacetime leader. He's the first to volunteer in time of trouble and the last to come home. He's a veteran.
He is proud of his American past, alert to his American present and confident of his American future. He likes the legends of America's great, the Washingtons, the Jeffersons, the Abraham Lincolns, the Roosevelts, the Robert E. Lees, the Stonewall Jacksons, the Pattons, the Eisenhowers, the MacArthurs and all the proud patriots who have marched through America's history books. He has bivouacked at Valley Forge, charged the hills at Gettysburg, faced the fire at San Juan Hill and stormed ashore at Omaha Beach. He's a veteran.
In the very rear of his secret heart there is always a tinge of sorrow, a souvenir of sadness for lost and departed comrades. No matter how gray his temples grow or how many inches he adds to his middle-aged waist, he always walks with a distinctive pride that isn't given to lesser men.
He is America with an honorable discharge. He is democracy with a good conduct medal lost in the darkness of his keepsake box. He is freedom with a purple heart. He's a first class fighting man with a quiet walk and a sentimental grin. He's America's most honored citizen. He's a veteran.

(WXIA) - Rapper Drake took to Instagram on Christmas Day, demanding a cut from retailers Walgreens and Macy's for their sales of merchandise with the term "YOLO."
Drake insists he coined the phrase in his 2011 song "The Motto," and says that earns him the right to money from associated merchandise.
"Walgreens...you gotta either chill or cut the cheque," one Instagram message said. A second one said, "Macy's...same goes for you."
No comment from either retailer, but the website Gawker notes that there are more than 100 active and inactive trademark applications for the term YOLO in the United States at the present time.
KnowYourMeme.com traces the first use of the term in mainstream media to contestant Adam Mesh in a third season episode of the NBC reality series Average Joe in 2003. Mesh's company developed a clothing line emblazoned with the term in 2004.

So I know if this is a really silly topic of discussion but I gave it and I wanted to hear other users thoughts. So where do your nicknames come from? I invented my nickname "Jacko" from my first name which is Jaakko and begins with the letter J. The extension of numbers comes from my birth year which is 1990 and though it sounds silly with my nickname it helps other users at recognizing me cause there's a user called Zacko. I find it often very hard to invent a catchy nickname starting with the letter J.

We are American, that brand name gives us tremendous value in the ever modernizing world that other countries (more so companies) want on their employee docket. That being said, I have been looking into teaching abroad and I found something very interesting, if I make less than $100,000.00 dollars outside the U.S. I don't have to pay a cent in income tax. Furthermore, if I have a spouse, my household income can be $200,000.00 with not even being looked at by the Federal government. That got me thinking, what country would be the best to work in with just a basic no name degree and on top of that what would be the best country to work in with a more specific degree but nothing too complicated like a PHD and shit. South Korea is a prime example, they will pay people who are certified in teaching to teach English around $2,000.00 a month AND pay for room and board AND pay for their roundtrip plane ticket AND be exempt from South Korea's income taxes (which are only 3%-7% anyhow) for 2 years. (If you just have a B.A. they still give you $1,800.00 a month.) If you spend $14,000 a year (which is a HUGE over estimation because it costs 300 a month just to eat there) you are saving $10,000.00 a year and in 2 years you have $20,000.00 tax free and a plane ride home. All this JUST because you are a white boy from America who can speak English.
Now think of this, if you did a "real" job AND had a specialized easy to get BA what country would really give you a good bang for your buck. See what you can find.
Conclusion, I think this is the way of the future for the Western world, selling yourself on the global market. Your net value is worth more elsewhere than in America.

Sabre 38 Salon ExpressBy Peter A. Janssen
Photography by Billy Black
A Cut Above
With sharp design and not a rattle to be heard, the Sabre 38 Salon Express slices waves without cutting efficiency.
As my wife, Renée, and I stepped onto the swim platform of the glistening, just-launched Sabre 38 Salon Express at DiMillo's dock in Portland, Maine, we were prepared for a good day. The midsummer weather was warm, the breeze barely feathered across the water, and the new 38 was fueled up and ready to go. And after that promising start, things only got better.
"The 38 is a very flexible boat," said Kevin Burns, the new vice president of design and product development for both Sabre Yachts and Back Cove (Sabre's sister company), as he welcomed us onboard. "It's designed for the way people use boats today. It's fun to drive, to own, and to use." Even given Burns' inherent pride in his newest boat, it turned out he was right. In fact, the more we used the new 38, the more we liked it.
Over the course of an afternoon on Casco Bay, we found there's a lot going on in this boat, now the entry point for Sabre's lineup, which also includes 42-, 48-, and 54-foot models. Most important perhaps, is the easy-riding, soft-landing hull (with a 24-degree deadrise amidships flowing back to 17 degrees at the transom), which was designed for Volvo Penta's IPS pod drives. With Volvo's twin 300-horsepower D4 diesels, the 38 cruised easily (and quietly) at 25 knots and topped out at just over 30. Then there's the smile-inducing fun of maneuvering the boat with contrarotating props on the pod drives, slaloming around lobster pot buoys out in the bay or docking with the joystick in a tight space. Inside, the new Sabre has an unusually open interior, so that the whole crew can be part of the action. And the boat also boasts some innovative design elements that simply make life onboard more enjoyable. Finally, the base price of $525,000 seems quite reasonable for a quality-built twin-diesel boat with state-of-the-art engines and drives.
In terms of size and price, the Sabre 38 picks up where Back Cove leaves off. Back Cove yachts, also built in Maine, are all single-diesel, low-maintenance cruising boats with 30-, 34-, and 37-foot models. Base price for the Back Cove 37 is $435,000 (see "Timing is Everything," in our August issue for a full review).
One thing I liked right away about the Sabre 38 was the sliding three-person aft bench seat in the cockpit. "Watch this," said Bentley Collins, Sabre's vice president of sales and marketing, as he pulled a lever under the varnished cherry cockpit table. He then slid the table, and the rear seat and transom section to which it is attached, back 14 inches over a portion of the swim platform, opening up the cockpit area for maximum sociability. If you slide it forward, the table moves closer to the two-person, aft-facing seat at the forward edge of the cockpit, so that it becomes a more intimate area for dining or cocktails. Overall, it seemed to be a straightforward solution, and certainly a nice touch.
The engine room is immediately under the cockpit. Almost the entire cockpit sole raises for excellent, standing-room access to the two Volvos; there's plenty of space for daily checks or more serious work on the engines, including outboard areas. The engine compartment was gleaming with white gelcoat finish; if there were any oil or liquid spills (there weren't) they would be highly visible. A 6 kW Kohler genset was aft of the engines as, of course, were the tops of the pods. For balance, all the ship's tanks were forward.
The large rear window separating the cockpit from the saloon drops down, and the glass door next to it folds open so that the cockpit and the saloon become a large social area. Some other boats also have this type of arrangement, but what was unique here was the view forward. "Stand here," said Burns, looking through the rear window, "and you can see the entire interior." He's right. And not just the saloon and helm station, or even just to the lower galley, but also because of a neat drop-down panel separating the forward section of the galley from the master stateroom, all the way up to the forward bulkhead in the master stateroom at the bow. You can close some doors and raise the galley panel for privacy, of course, but the wide-open feeling is somehow inclusive and inviting.
Inside the saloon, there's an L-shaped settee and high-low cherry table to port. Forward of that is the passenger seat, which is arranged so the person sitting there, Renée in this case, could sit looking forward, acting as a navigator, or sideways, facing the captain to starboard in a single Stidd helm chair. The back of the passenger seat can flip forward to open up the saloon settee; in this configuration, three couples could sit around the table for a comfortable dinner.
The galley, down three open steps ("We don't want a closed-in feeling," Burns said), is open to the saloon, and is well equipped for cruising. There's even extra stowage for dry goods on the interior side of the "lower lounge" area aft of the galley, where an L-shaped settee serves as a pleasant spot to have a cup of coffee in the morning, a glass of wine in the evening, or to just sit and look out the side window when the boat's underway. At night, the settee pulls out and becomes a double berth.
Opposite the galley is one of the largest heads (with separate shower area) I've ever seen on a boat this size. It has one door opening to the galley area, and then a separate door leading to the master stateroom. The master itself is large, with two small steps leading to the forward berth, lots of stowage, and enough cherry wood to maintain Sabre's Down East heritage.
The only teak on the boat is a thin strip running the length of the house side as an understated, eye-pleasing design element. (Teak is an option for the cockpit sole, caprail, and swim platform.) In the cockpit, Burns pointed out the gentle curves, the radius of the corners that match the overhang, and the aft corners of the saloon. "We embrace the fact that we can make it right," he said. "Sabre and Back Cove have challenged people's notion of what Down East can be. That's not to say they don't carry the timeless Down East appeal. They do. But we're not afraid to push the boundaries if it results in a better boat."
Underway, it quickly became apparent that that better boat has an appealing comfort level. It started with the outstanding, 360-degree sightlines at the helm (and other spots, as Renée found, looking out the windows wherever she sat). It continued along to open ventilation throughout the saloon from sliding windows on both sides and two large overhead hatches, plus the drop-down window and open bifold door aft. And it wound up with an uncommonly low noise level for a production boat, registering less than 80 decibels even at wide-open throttle.
But the Sabre 38's real appeal is in its performance. It has very little bow rise coming up on plane, and the ride is so soft and comfortable that I had to double-check the GPS as I settled in at the helm. I thought we were going perhaps 15 or 16 knots; in fact, we were moving through the water at 24. And turning at speed is simply fun; the IPS props dig in and the boat carves through a turn without missing a beat.
Before too long, Sabre may move up in size, making yachts larger than the current 54. Meanwhile, there's much to enjoy in the new 38. "This is a bookend boat for us," Burns said. "It's where we want to be today. In terms of size, performance, and price, we nailed it. And the pods make it fun to drive." Judging by the smiles on our faces as we climbed off the boat late in the day, Renée and I certainly would agree.

Mr. Sun Hong Lim of Samsung does not represent IMO the NX line, not even Samsung's camera division at large. He's marketing one class of new products targeted at one market segment, only - however important and trendy that may be.
Compared to the Sony, Nikon etc. reps here, Mr. Sun Hong Lim is not doing a service to the Samsung that this audience is mainly interested in. Photokina is not CES or CeBIT. I'm sure that Mr. Sun Hong Lim is very competent in his field, yet unfortunately that doesn't seem to be photography.

Nationals Turn Back the Clock with a Comeback
As each week goes by, a playoff berth is looking more and more realistic for the Washington Nationals.
The pessimistic D.C. sports fan in me always errs on the side of caution when it comes to expecting postseason production out of the local teams. For the past two decades, the Redskins average one playoff appearance every four years. The Capitals have turned second round playoff appearances into a common occurrence over the past five years. Advancing to the Eastern Conference Finals has been another task altogether. The Wizards had a good run by tinkering with the first round several times in the mid-2000's prior to Gilbert Arenas' firearm catastrophe. D.C. United has been Washington's most successful pro sports franchise since their inception in 1996 but given the level of popularity of soccer in the area in contrast to the "big four" sports, that success doesn't resonate quite like the rest.

|Fact or Fiction? Car hits building in freak accident
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
These stories from local history are sometimes so extraordinary it's hard to believe they actually happened. Check out 'fact or fiction' stories: they're actual Enterprise news clips reprinted from the past.
An automobile and a brick building were damaged here Monday evening in a freak mishap. Damage to the car was estimated at $75 to $100. No estimate in the building damage has been reported, but it is expected to be a similar amount.
Involved in the unusual accident were a 1963 Chevrolet owned by Mr. and Mrs. Max Starbuck and the office building of Harry Peach. The building is owned by the Sterling Savings and Loan Association.
Mrs. Starbuck apparently did not have the shift lever completely in the park position when she got out of the vehicle in the alley behind the Ben Franklin store, and it slid into the reverse position after she was out of the car. The George Sumpters reside in an apartment in the rear of the store building, and Mrs. Starbuck had stopped to pick up Mrs. Sumpter.
After she stepped out of the car, it began to move backward down the alley to the south, and Mrs. Starbuck was unable to get into the vehicle to stop it. The car backed approximately 200 feet—out of the alley, across Highway 6, up over the curb on the south side of the street—and crashed against the building. A hole was knocked in the brick wall and a window was damaged.
The collision jolted the shift lever into the low position and the car then began to move briskly back across the highway, headed north. Gordon Leben of Amherst, driving along the highway, said he saw the car backing across the street but at first thought that some foolish driver was in the vehicle.
Taking a closer look, he discovered that there was no driver, so he immediately stopped his car, quickly got out and ran after the Starbuck vehicle as it rolled north across the street. He leaped into the moving vehicle and braked it to a stop after it had traveled approximately 90 feet from the building it had struck and had jumped the curb on the north side of the street.
When Leben got the car stopped, it was headed directly toward another vehicle that was parked parallel to the sidewalk near the rear of Smythe's Department Store.

Pity your poor feet! Ignore them at your own risk, but someday they'll make their unhappiness known in a very clear, and probably painful, way. Pevonia Botanica Feet can help you with the dry, flaking skin, ugly calluses and discomfort that can come from not taking care of your feet. Why go to all the trouble and expense of pedicures and choosing open-toed shoes if your feet aren't presentable?
It may seem like pampering (and it is – why not?), but a regimen of using Pevonia Botanica Feet can not only relieve the discomfort of feet that have been overlooked, but make them look so much better. The Pevonia Botanica Feet suite of care products can give the skin on your feet – top and bottom – a clear, smooth, unblemished appearance. It isn't just about appearance, either. Feet, enclosed in stockings or socks and fit into shoes, can host bacteria and readily develop odor. With the help of Pevonia Botanica Feet, you can keep your feet bacteria-free and odor-free in the hours between washing. Your feet deserve the best care you can provide.
We ask a lot of our feet. They take a pounding as we walk on hard pavement, wear shoes that look great (but sensible? not so much) and slosh through puddles and half-melted snow. Give something back, with the help of Pevonia Botanica Feet products. They not only make your feet feel better, but look great.
A great start is Pevonia Phytopedic Multi-Active Foot Cream. A combination of sunflower oil, shea butter (a traditional emollient made from a special West African tree nut) and salicylic acid works to deeply moisturize and revive dry, flaky areas and soften hard, rough patches. Massage it into your skin morning and evening and feel your skin react to its restorative treatment. The cream not only promotes regeneration of your skin, but the botanical oils promote exfoliation of dead cells and provide an antiseptic barrier against odor.
Do you have calluses that hurt every time you rub your feet? Does the dry, rough skin at the back of your heels and on top of your feet itch and flake? Using Pevonia Phytopedic Silky Foot Peel periodically can make a dramatic difference. The fine volcanic pumice and quartz silica granules gently smooth and exfoliate the problem areas. The stearic acid content combines with the oils and accumulated impurities, allowing them to be lifted off cleanly.
Sometimes, you just need a refreshing foot massage. Rub in Pevonia Tension Relief Foot Gel and allow the camphor wood extract and menthol to gently relax your skin and promote your circulation system.

Friday Afternoon News, January 4
Wellness Challenge Being Organized For Plymouth County
(Le Mars) -- This time each year, many people set new year's resolutions for themselves, perhaps to lose weight, get more exercise, or to start eating healthy. Living Healthy Iowa is challenging all Iowans to focus on getting healthy for the new year. Iowa ranks 20th in the nation as the healthiest state, and unfortunately Plymouth County ranks low among the 99 Iowa counties as for being the healthiest county. Todd Lancaster, the executive director of the Le Mars YMCA, and also one of the local coordinators to the Living Healthy Iowa program says there is an effort being organized to get Plymouth County residents to start thinking about wellness and being healthy. Lancaster says people are urged to participate in the ten-week wellness challenge.
Listen to
Lancaster says diabetes and obesity are on the rise for people across the state and the nation. He says to extend your life expectancy is another reason to look at joining the ten-week wellness challenge.
Listen to
Recently, an organizational meeting took place attracting more than 30 community leaders.
The wellness challenge begins on January 28, and Lancaster says Plymouth County organizers have a goal of having at least 2500 people participate.
Listen to
The YMCA official says it doesn't take much to get healthy. He says people can take some small simple steps to modify their lifestyle in order to become a healthier person.
Listen to
The Le Mars YMCA, Floyd Valley Hospital, and the Iowa State University Extension and Outreach of Plymouth County are organizing the ten-week wellness challenge. Lancaster urges everyone to participate, form a team, and to encourage your family, friends, and co-workers to join the program.

Investigation Continues On Medical Helicopter Crash
MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) - Federal investigators are still looking for the cause of a medical helicopter crash in northern Iowa that killed three people.
Pilot Gene Grell, nurse Shelly Lair-Langenbau and paramedic Russell Piehl died when the helicopter crashed north of Ventura Wednesday night. They were on the way to Emmetsburg to pick up a
Lair-Langenbau and Piehl worked for Mercy Medical Center-North Iowa in Mason City.
The CEO of the medical transport company that owned the helicopter says the pilot didn't make any emergency call. The helicopter had a satellite tracking system that monitored its
position and other information instead of the traditional onboard black box.
Weather was overcast with 10-to-15 mile per hour winds at the time of the crash.
Leath Loosens Research Restrictions on Harkin Institute
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - Iowa State University President Steven Leath is loosening restrictions that he imposed on the Harkin Institute of Public Policy's ability to research agriculture.
Leath issued a memo Wednesday withdrawing a November order that allowed the institute to conduct agriculture research only if it related to Sen. Tom Harkin's papers and had approval from the
Center for Agricultural and Rural Development.
The restrictions were opposed by Harkin and the institute's advisory board. Critics called them a restriction on academic freedom, while Leath said they were meant to avoid duplication and
protect CARD's prominent reputation.
Leath's new memo seeks to reach a compromise. It says public policy research conducted by the institute focusing on subjects found elsewhere on campus "is expected to be planned, conducted
and published in a cooperative, collaborative manner."
State Responds To Pollution Run-off Concerns
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The state has responded to requests and added two weeks to the public comment period on a plan to cut pollution running down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico.
Friday was the scheduled end of the 45-day comment period. Comments now will
be taken until Jan 18.
Under the plan that was released in November, wastewater treatment and industrial plants would be asked to make costly upgrades to cut pollution while farmers would do so voluntarily.
It took two years of study and private meetings to formulate the plan. It comes in response to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's order in 2008 for 12 states along the Mississippi River to
develop strategies to prevent nitrates and phosphorous from reaching the gulf.
