Uncertainty may have existed when the Humboldt High School girl-boy cross country teams began their season three months ago.
But there is nothing uncertain about the Wildcats' future after wrapping up the 2012 season recently. The Wildcats saw extensive growth in several areas that are fueling optimism for 2013.
That was the message Wildcat head coach Dean Clasen presented at the team banquet held last week (Nov. 6) at the middle school cafeteria.
Clasen, Humboldt's veteran coach, greeted a squad of newcomers when practice began back on Aug. 6. A total of 13 seniors from the 2011 squad had graduated, including five of the top seven runners from both the boys and the girls' teams, so it was no secret that Humboldt had a number of positions to fill
"Add to those losses an additional three members of the JV boys team that didn't return and it was easy to assume that our number of runners would be really low," Clasen said. "As always seems to happen, we had several upper classmen join the boys team for their first cross country experience and their presence, along with a nice-sized freshman boys class, boosted the boys numbers to 21. More than we had a year ago."
"The girls' situation looked pretty grim at the first practice. With just four girls returning from last year's squad (two of which had been rehabbing injuries) and a lone freshman, it didn't take a genius to figure out that we might have trouble earning a team score in the upcoming season," Clasen said.
"By the end of the first week, the recruiting efforts of the tam were rewarded with the addition of three more girls," Clasen said. "Yet another girl joined us late in the season to bring the total to nine runners for the girls."
"As the season unfolded, it quickly became evident that all of the girls would be needed to insure having a scoring team. A variety of injuries, most of them chronic, sidelined several of the girls for multiple meets which impeded the progress of the team," Clasen said. "The boys, on the other hand, remained pretty healthy throughout the season. There were a couple of JV runners who missed meets but those who ran varsity remained healthy enough to run in nearly all of the meets."
The Wildcat varsity girls were hampered by the absence of junior Karlee Peyton, who sat out much of the season with a stress fracture discovered in one of her feet in late August. Peyton didn't return until the conference meet in Algona on Oct. 9.
The newcomers came along and saw growth in helping the girls and boys squads compete. The boys finished fifth and the girls were seventh in the conference meet scoring. While the girls saw their three-year reign as NCC champion end optimism prevailed as Clasen continued to be impressed with his team's improved times and competitive efforts in each race.
Sam Larson, one of the top runners in the area and in the state, finished third in the NCC and later advance to state, where she was seventh overall with a school record time of 14:58.
The squad had just two seniors in Colton Schnetzer and newcomer Ben Wadsley. Schnetzer finished 10th in the conference meet. Wadsley was hampered by a knee injury.
"I think we have a tremendous opportunity to have really good boys and girls teams next year. It's not unusual for one runner to improve 30 seconds from one year to the next without doing much in between seasons. But getting in 300 plus miles next summer could result in 45 to 60 seconds of improvement," Clasen said.
"If you look at the state meet times, I think you'll see that we are not very far away from being able to run those kinds of times," Clasen said. "For the teams to be as successful as I think they can be, it will take a team effort. Are you willing to commit to an off-season of running to vault us to the top of the standings?"

|Holyoke boys' basketball falls to Yuma, Brush
|Written by Chris Lee
It was a busy week for the Holyoke Dragon boys' basketball team as they traveled to Yuma Tuesday, Dec. 11 and played host to Brush Friday, Dec. 14.
Unfortunately, the Dragons fell to both the Indians and Beetdiggers.
Holyoke 48, Yuma 65
It was all Yuma last Tuesday night as they pulled away early and led to the finish.
Coach Scott Dille felt the team hit the floor playing hard throughout the first half of play. He was pleased with the play of his defense.
The Indians took the early 11-8 lead after the opening period. Both teams managed to hang 14 points on the board in the second quarter which left the Indians leading 25-22 at the half.
Logan Tharp looks to lay in two points against Brush Friday night,
The coach said his squad began to wear down a bit during the game and he attributes that to himself not rotating enough. Dille said Yuma did a great job of rotating nine or 10 guys and staying fresh.
Holyoke scored 13 points in the third and fourth quarters while Yuma hung 20 on the board in each of the second-half periods.
"Yuma is a really good team," Dille said. "The ball pressure was unlike anything we've seen so far. I think it caught some of the guys off guard."
The coach hopes that type of play opened the eyes of his younger squad a bit.
Holyoke 52, Brush 63
The Dragons didn't get off to a good start last Friday night on the home court as they fell behind early to the Brush Beetdiggers.
Brush pulled ahead to a 21-9 lead after the opening quarter. They extended their lead to 35-21 heading into the break.
Coach Dille said they gave up way too many offensive rebounds throughout the first half. "They had a lot of second chances. It's hard to compete when you give up so many opportunities to the other team," Dille said.
"I thought we did some really good things in the second half," Dille said.
Zach Roll puts the breaks on after bringing the ball down the court
The coach was proud of how the team pressured Brush in the second half and forced them out of their comfort zone. He said he feels the Dragons are capable of doing that but they just haven't been able to for long stretches of time.
"Hopefully the kids will start to figure that out that we play better when we play that way," the coach said.
The Dragons outscored Brush 16-10 in the third stanza to pull within eight points, 37-45. Brush held on throughout the fourth quarter and made enough free throws to secure the win, 63-52.

Everone internal can access Zimbra fine. Some of the people outside are having problems. When they bring up zimbra it gives them a login screen and when they enter their username and password they get a blank screen. I've tried telling to wait it out but the times get inaccess of 10 minutes and still nothing. Some people don't even get the login screen. It really confusing because I make sure they are not running any extra firewalls or anything like that. I've found that their can be a problem if they are running Norton Internet Security. It's also confusing for the ones with XP SP2 with IE SP2. I've also tried the gzip=false method still nothing. Also doesn't work with firefox. Any suggestions.

Sorry posted this in the wrong place.
I'm kind of suprised to see as many people as I have on here from around Kamas. Just thought that it was kind of cool.
Sorry posted this in the wrong place.
Well, you've got to be tough or a little dense to live in Kamas. About this time of year, I start thinking southern Utah looks pretty nice. The summer and fall makes up for all those long winter days.
But we don't have the inversion in winter, and the summers are bearable. We are also blessed to be so close to the Uintah's
Shoot STR8
I'm sure you have all heard this, but there are Giant mule deer in those foothills east of k. Giants!
Yep, I've heard it and even seen a couple "giants" come out of the hills east of Kamas. The Kamas valley is a beautiful place, but the winters can be brutal on growing mature animals...especially mule deer. I've lived here for most of my life and seen three of four winters where the herds have been decimated. On top of the hard winters, you have road kill, hunting pressure, predators (lions), and a few poachers. So it's an exception to see a mule deer get to maturity around here.
Yea and this winter killed all but two of the deer, and those two were hit on main street. Ha Ha. There are some good ones around, but they are few and far between now. I hope the DNR does something or there won't be any to enjoy.

LEXINGTON, Va., Oct. 22, 2012 – Stricter enrollment criteria in Naval and Air Force ROTC are bringing change to cadet ROTC selection. Cadets who do not desire to commission or do not meet service requirements may no longer select Naval or Air Force ROTC. In a process that began last year, these cadets will meet VMI's ROTC participation requirement by selecting Army ROTC.
Already a large unit, VMI's Army ROTC Marshall-New Market Battalion just got a whole lot bigger. Existing staff are working hard to make sure the 922 VMI Army cadets receive the physical and military training time they came to VMI to get, and VMI has added two staff slots to the unit to help with the load.
"What I hope to do is provide a complementary experience – leadership, mentoring, and coaching … that is in keeping with VMI's vision," said Col. Bill Wanovich '87, commanding officer of VMI's Army ROTC unit.
When the new staff came on board last month, they joined a team that has found success even though VMI's cadet-to-instructor ratio is higher than the Army's preferred 5:1 standard.
"It is a challenge," said Maj. Reinaldo Rivera, Military Science 3 branch chief, who noted that he relies on the 1st Class cadets to train his classes of 2nds. "They have to be the primary trainers whereas in another program we would be the primary trainers. They are teaching them with their limited experience what they know from the [LDAC] training they just went through."
The staff, he said, are there to correct deficiencies and maintain a safe environment, and the result has been success.
"We're making it work. Our seniors who just came from LDAC were able to maintain average or above average for all events – physical fitness, leadership markers, critical thinking," said Rivera. "Given the number we sent – we sent close to 120 personnel – that is remarkable. We sent more cadets than anybody else in the nation."
Cadets participate in Army LDAC – Leader Development and Assessment Course – in the summer between their 2nd and 1st class years. It is, said Rivera, the Army's biggest training program and the most important factor in Army career selection. Understanding the importance of this training to their careers makes the cadets better trainers themselves.
"They understand the stakes of properly mentoring their juniors. We're in a good path to make sure these guys are ready for whatever the Army throws at them," said Rivera. "Resources are going to be more scarce in the future. We're going to have to become more creative in how we execute training. This certainly is going to give them an advantage in how to do that."
This larger Army ROTC offers the cadets greater flexibility in career choice because the opportunity to commission remains open to them throughout their cadetship.
"Of all the services, the Army has the best capacity to take a cadet who makes a decision late in his cadetship and get them a commission," said Col. Jeff Curtis '79, VMI chief of staff. "We do have a number of cadets each year who do not decide until their 1st Class year, and sometimes late in their 1st Class year, that they would like to commission in the service. The Army ROTC has the capability to give them the training that they need to get them prepared to go to camp."
"I have resources – I have bullets, I have weapons, I have vans, I have people," said Wanovich. "Certainly they're going to get the military experience that they want. … Smell the smoke. Get on a helicopter and feel the blast of the rotor wash," he added, noting that he's expecting Army cadets to have the opportunity to ride on helicopter training flights at least once during the academic year.
"The Army has the ability with the Army assets that are available locally, to showcase some of them," said Curtis. "That is a great recruiting tool to get the cadets interested in commissioning opportunities."
Indeed, Wanovich points out that one outcome of the greater number of cadets in the Army ROTC program is a likely increase in commissioning, one of the goals of the VMI superintendent's Vision 2039 plan.
Selecting Army ROTC earlier means beginning Army training earlier, an advantage for those cadets who decide late to commission, said Wanovich. "It keeps a young person eligible for commissioning and service; it's good."
"In spite of the huge numbers, we continue to train them [the cadets] well and they continue to perform well," said Wanovich, "and we will commission more kids through ROTC at VMI this year than from any other school in the nation."

I am interested in the earliest exposition of Buddhist philosophy/religion in general. That is,
what have scholars dated as the earliest text that exposits Buddhism as a whole, as opposed to
a handling of a specific circumstance (like death)?
I'm interested in a single teaching and not a corpus. It need not go into detail either.
If no such thing exists (due to fragmentary texts), are there any proposed reconstructions?
Links to the (English) texts would be greatly appreciated.
I have done some web searches, but am unsure if the results are correct, especially given the more
recent Gandharan finds.
Thanks in Advance!

Open Container Ban Should Stay

Police officers have enough trouble with public intoxication without being told, "Get lost, cop. I'm allowed to drink on the street....
I think if a person wants to have a beer say at the waterfront why not. They do it anyway and police don't arrest them unless they cause a problem. any one causing a problem can and will be arrested for public intoxication any way so I don't see any big deal here at all.

Was at S Side Works in Pittsburgh and listening to band in afternoon and watching kids run through sprinkler. A group of women apparantly and were having glass of wine. I was shocked. One would be arrested in wheeling for certain. They would have been drug away by their hair and publically humiliated. Guess thats why pittsburgh can have such places and we cannot. Been many such places and never seen any trouble. Blues Fest does not attract drunks and fights. Our waterfront has potential that will never be known-its not the alcohol, its the harrassment.

Drew a late season Nov 25-Dec 1st tag. I will be able to go scouting one time and then probable four days immediately before the season begins. If anyone has hunted it and is willing to give a little help it would be much appreciated. Just in case this helps i am not a road hunter and look forward at attempting to get away from most hunters if possible.
Thanks in advance

Indian Wells, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Former champion Vera Zvonareva came up
a first-round loser Wednesday at the $5.9 million BNP Paribas Open tennis
Chinese Peng Shuai dismissed the two-time Grand Slam runner-up and one-time
world No. 2, 4-6, 6-0, 7-5, on the hardcourts at Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Zvonareva was the Indian Wells champ back in 2009.
Meanwhile, Spaniard Silvia Soler-Espinosa was tied with former top-10 star
Nadia Petrova 1-1 in the first set when the oft-injured Russian retired on Day
1 and American Shelby Rogers topped Czech Petra Cetkovska 6-0, 6-4.
Also advancing was Austrian Yvonne Meusburger.
This week's top seeds are Australian Open champ Li Na, Agnieszka Radwanska,
U.S. Open runner-up Victoria Azarenka, and French Open runner-up and reigning
Indian Wells titlist Maria Sharapova, who topped 2011 champion and two-time
Indian Wells runner-up Caroline Wozniacki in last year's finale. Sharapova
also won this event in 2006 and was the runner-up to Azarenka in 2012.

The sinister-looking photo and lead story in Wednesday's Bee-Pic about the new law implemented to increase the severity of punishment of those committing assault against family members most certainly grabbed many readers' attention.
I commend the DA's office and local law enforcement officers for doing all in their power to prevent these disturbing cases of family violence which are expected to increase with the upcoming holidays.
Yet, I'm still confounded by the large number of "strangulation" cases being prosecuted in our county.
Admittedly, I'm hopelessly old school, but as an editor, I was taught that strangulation meant death.
Where are the bodies? According to recent grand jury reports, they should be stacking up like cordwood around town.
It's sort of like in the late 1800s when so many people were hanged from the old oak trees on the courthouse square.
Oh, wait a minute. That didn't really happen here either. Must be confused with Goliad again...
After changing the term strangulation to choking or attempted strangulation several times in police and sheriff's stories, I checked with my dictionaries to make sure the meaning hadn't changed.
My online version reads: strangle – to squeeze or constrict the neck of (a person or animal), esp. so as to cause death.
My little worn desktop Webster's (yes, I still refer to printed reference books) states: strangle – to choke to death. And my tried and trusty large Random House Dictionary offers: strangle – to kill by squeezing the throat in order to compress the windpipe and prevent the intake of air, as with the hands or a tightly drawn cord.
So, I am not imagining this. Even in this modern age when communication includes poorly written blogs and such clever phrases as: CU l8r or luvD yr msg, LOL.
However, according to the new statute, a respected investigator said, "If they put their hands on your neck and squeeze any length of time, that's strangulation."
No offense to the authorities, but I don't remember the Boston Strangler employing the catch-and-release method.
Reminds me of the countless times I have watched TV news reports of a drowning victim who recounts the traumatic ordeal outside the swimming pool, or the poor fellow who had been electrocuted but is expected to make a full recovery.
Really? Is that you, Lazarus?
I'm so thankful my dear mother, who in addition to being the office historian served as our longtime expert in several languages, isn't around to witness these errors.
She would have reminded me that some folks simply are guilty of murdering the English language.

To be honest, Dragon is my third favorite type, after Psychic and Fire. But most of the non-Legendary Dragon-Types are psuedo-Legendaries. If I had to pick one or two Dragon-Types to use, I would say Garchomp and Latias.

Dear Editor:
The Catholic Church's negative standing on gay marriage is more than predictable. To label itself as "the lone voice of courage" is ludicrous. Courage would be looking inward.
The despicable history of the Catholic Church displays many instances of cowardice, greed, subterfuge and gross injustice to humanity. Where was this "courageous voice" during the Holocaust? Its lack of decent action during that time and after has been well-documented. Many lives could have been saved if the Church had voiced its disapproval or intervened, but it was more concerned with its own preservation, looking the other way and silence prevailed.
A dangerous policy has been evidenced by shielding predatory priests from their victims. If individual so-called servants of God had not been revealed by outside sources, the injustices would have continued - and probably still do.
These issues are only recent stains against the Church. Its overt or neglectful offenses are legend. The Catholic Church has much to answer, correct and apologize for. I suspect more silence.

1967 Chevy C10 - BenchmarkWritten by on October 1, 2011 Contributors: Joseph Dowling That's What Shane Scott Calls His C10
It's hard to believe looking at it now, but this 1967 Chevy was a worn out farm truck left for dead in a pasture before Shane Scott and a long list of friends turned it into an award winner.
During the day Shane works for an automotive paint supplier training customers in the use of the latest water borne products from BASF and PPG. After hours he spends his time in "Scott's Garage," which for now is actually his two-car garage, but will someday become the place he builds trucks for customers.
While most of the construction was handled by Shane, he credits a long list of buddies in and around Greenville, Texas, for bringing the truck back to life—Collvins Customs, RPL Customs, Hatfield's Restorations, and Hot Rods by George all had a hand helping out with the half-ton.
The rebuild began at ground level, the truck was stripped to the bare frame then the front suspension, power steering and disc brakes from an '84 Chevy were grafted on. In the rear, a triangulated four-link positions an '84 Chevy rearend fitted Cadillac Seville disc brakes. Shock Waves from Ride Tech at all four corners provide ride height adjustments.
Power for the pickup is provided by a 350 ci small-block Chevy that has been fitted with a Crane cam and a Weiand intake manifold topped with an Edelbrock 1406 carburetor. A GM 700R4 transmission is hooked to an Eaton positraction unit with 3.73:1 gears by a custom driveshaft.
Shane brought the cab back from its battered condition in "Scott's Garage" using parts from five other trucks. During the reconstructive surgery the rain gutters were removed, the cab seams filled, door handles and locks were shaved and the gas neck and stake pockets were filled. With the body saved, Shane covered it with Benchmark Blue basecoat/clearcoat.
Redoing the interior was a celebrative effort—Hatfield Restorations covered the seat in Ultra leather while RPL Customs gave Shane a hand building the custom door panels.
It took Shane six years of part time work to end up with the truck he's wanted since high school. Since completion it's been driven to Good Guys, NSRA and ISCA events and hauled home awards from them all. Shane's C10 really is a benchmark and may mark the beginning of an entirely new career.

Up front the bumper bolts have been removed and the brackets modified to pull it closer to the body. The stock parking lights/turn signals have been replaced by smaller lamps.Shane's Chevy rolls on Yokahama Parada tires 255/40R20 fore and 275/40R20 aft. The bed has been mini-tubbed and a rolled rear pan has been added.The custom center console holds window and door switches, and the controls and gauges for the air suspension.Cooling is handled by an aluminum crossflow radiator with twin electric fans. Check out the custom bent and paitned tuving with short lengths of hose connecting the engine to the radiator.Ultra Leather, applied by Hatfield Restorations, ensures that the interior of Shane's truck remains ultra plush.Inside, gauges from Classic Instruments replace the originals, the steering wheel is from Billet Specialties, and a new electrical harness from Hot Rod Wires was installed.A custom 24-gallon aluminum gas tank from Hot Rods by George resides in the bed in front of the wheel tub.

Divided Pickup
A.Yes, they are all compatible. However, there are slight differences in the output voltage produced by the GK-2, GK-2A, and GK-3 pickups, which can affect the playing feel of the guitar synthesizer system. For this reason, you should adjust the input sensitivity setting on the GR-series unit specifically for each GK pickup model.

So I've previewed Rafael Nadal's + Roger Federer's Aussie Open '09 Nike duds so let's check out the tennis fashions adidas has come up with for Novak Djokovic.
The defending champ will be working the Edge Polo in phantom which features a black-on-black shadow graphic design on the front and yellow piping on the neckline. The white version showcases the same shadow design in white-on-white on the front body and adidas' 3-stripe trademark in olive and yellow piping on the sleeves. Both Edge Polos showcase the eagle graphic design on the back top-left shoulder Nole debuted at the Masters Cup:
Nole will most likely pair the Edge Polos with the new Edge Bermudas in phantom + olive which have a combination tie + elastic waist and longer length.
The sexy Serb will tie the whole look together with the new sleek + shiny Edge ClimaCool trainers in metallic silver/black/neon yellow.
As you guys know I'm usually pretty tough on adidas for their lack of design innovation and marketing efforts for their top ballers. But, as of late, the sports brand has turned it up a notch and pulled out some interesting and original gear for both Ana Ivanovic + Nole.
Now, while I may not love the actual clothing every time (love the shirts + shoes here, don't love the curtains-as-shorts moment) I can truly appreciate the effort and innovation that adidas has been showing.

I would like to migrate my existing domino server to ZCS network edition.
I am thinking that after the initial ZCS installation, I have to create the same user accounts that I have on my domino to my zimbra server and make the zimbra server my production email platform.
The question is ... can I run the lotus migration wizard to migrate the users from the domino server to my existing zimbra accounts? or I will mess it up?
Thanks in Advance,

School Board analyzes post-retirement program
A program that pays retired Henrico school system employees a percentage of their final annual salaries in exchange for their part-time work within the system saves considerable money on substitute teacher expenses but could provide even more value to the system with several adjustments.
That was the conclusion of an in-depth analysis completed by county and school system finance officials, who presented their findings to the School Board Sept. 13.
At the beginning of the current fiscal year in July, the board increased the requirements of retirees who participate in the Post-Retirement Earnings Plan (PREP) program, mandating that they work at least 28 days during the school year in order to receive pay equal to 20 percent of their final annual paychecks. Eligible retirees may participate in the program for a maximum of seven years; 388 participate currently.
It was the third change made in the past three years by the board, which is seeking to squeeze more value from the 32-year-old program while reducing its annual cost. The PREP budget has dropped from its peak of $8.9 million in 2009 to $5.6 million during the current fiscal year. Prior to this year's change, PREP participants received 22 percent of their final paycheck in exchange for working 24 days a year.
The program was created in 1980 as a way to provide a benefit to employees, encourage early retirement and save the school system money. During its budget process this spring, the School Board sought specific data to better determine the effectiveness and value of the program. But last week's work session was proof that categorizing that value is a challenging exercise.
Though it's relatively easy to determine the cost savings that results from using PREP retirees as substitute teachers – since there is a standard rate of pay for substitutes – it's much more difficult to determine the value of administrative retirees who perform a variety of other responsibilities, Henrico Finance Director Gene Walter told the School Board.
Walter and his staff studied 507 PREP participants who entered the program during the past seven years and whose replacements were hired immediately upon their retirement. (The study didn't include nearly 50 other participants whose former positions were eliminated, he said.)
Of those 507, 317 were retired teachers whose combined participation during those seven years saved the system $1.18 for each $1 it spent on the program, Walter said.
But Walter and his analysts could not determine a dollar-to-dollar estimate for the other 190 participants because their roles within the system were less defined and often entailed duties for which the system wouldn't have hired temporary help.
School system officials recommended that the board consider a number of changes to the program that would make it easier to determine a clear value for each dollar spent in the program, including:
• assigning every participant to serve either as a substitute teacher (if qualified) or to fill another capacity with specific and direct calculable benefit to the system (such as SOL remediation);
• capping the maximum allowable salary to a participant at $90,000 annually;
• increasing the number of required years of Henrico service from 10 years to 15 years for eligible retirees and reducing the number of required years of service in the Virginia Retirement System from 16 to 15;
• requiring that interested participants notify the system of their intent by Dec. 1 annually and begin their participation the following July 1 (as opposed to the current system, which permits entry throughout the year – a minimum of 30 days after retirement – and makes budgeting for the program less predictable);
• grandfathering all current participants under the current standards until they have completed their seven years or dropped out of the program.
"We have determined that there's a large responsibility on everyone's part here to develop something that's going to be very beneficial and cost-effective and also value-added to the school system," Superintendent Pat Russo said during the work session. "That's where we want to move this program."
Current guidelines require that participants be at least 50 years old without having attained the age for full, unreduced Social Security benefits. The program initially was designed in part to serve as a bridge between retirement and Social Security, HCPS Finance Director Kevin Smith told the board. Using current standards, 854 current school system employees would be eligible to participate in the PREP program if they retired, HCPS Human Resources Executive Director Howard Banks said.
The board is expected to discuss the recommendations and the PREP program again at a meeting next month.

Australia is fortunate to be richly endowed with a commodity that is indispensable to modern life: coal. Coal is the world's fuel of choice for electricity– accounting for 41 per cent of all generation – because it is reliable and affordable. Coal is also an essential ingredient in the manufacture of steel and cement.
Australia has the fourth-largest share of proven coal reserves in the world. Australia has 110 years of black coal and 510 years of brown coal. Coal benefits all Australians through its contribution to exports, wages, investment and tax revenue. It is Australia's comparative advantage in coal – together with iron ore – that has enabled Australians to sustain the longest period of continuous economic growth in the nation's history.
Coal in Australia is under attack from powerful groups determined to shut the industry. Please support the 200,000 Australians who work in our coal industry.

:mad: Hallo. After at least one month of questions and answers with the support my problem (not possible to create new subfolders, not possible to move existing subfolders imported to ZD2 from ZD1) has not been solved.
I communicate for me it's impossible to use your software any more, as I use to create many folders and to archive mail inside them.
It's a pity, because I found Zimbra quite a good application. Nobody has been able to suggest me how to solve this stupid problem which seems not more than a permission / restriction one.
I don't really think the Zimbra support works, perhaps it does only with sold products, not with free ones.

text: Most people contact Commuter Dude by phone, email or social media. But one downtown driver flagged Dude down right on the street. She was upset over a parking citation that she said was issued in error. Having just spent two months reporting stories of alleged unfair ticketing practices, Commuter Dude was all ears. But right in the middle of the interview something unexpected happened. And then the enforcement officer arrived to shed even more light on the subject.

Men tend to be very fussy about their hair which is why we have a collection of products developed just for our male shoppers. The typical man likes to stick to a routine that's easy, quick and fuss free.
Shampoos for men cleanse the hair in one easy step, removing impurities and excess oil while balancing the scalp. Since hair thinning is such a common issue with men, some of our shampoos go beyond cleansing to strengthen the hair, stimulate the scalp and encourage a thick and healthy mane of hair. Since guys don't typically like to use a conditioner, many of our shampoos for men cleanse and condition, leaving the hair soft and manageable.
Hair styling is one area that has to be fast and fuss free in a man's world. Gels and pomades help create control and style quickly and easily, holding any "do" all day long. Some of our styling products are also formulated to volumize and create the illusion of thickness.
Although some of our shampoos and styling products can help with thinning hair, stronger and more powerful treatments go further to prevent hair loss and encourage new, healthy growth. Sticking to a regular program can result in a fuller and stronger head of hair.

A few new things for late summer
While Tom is in Rwanda - I have added a few new merchandise items; at long last we have Ibriks to sell again; we added a Double Wall Glass Bodum French press (which works great to keep the brew hot); and what our customers have all been waiting for.... a Sweet Maria's Soccer/Football! Okay - so no one was waiting for this, no one asked for them, but Tom thought they would be cool anyhow. We decided to sell them to help subsidize the ones we are giving away.- Maria

KLEM Local Schedule (week of June 23)
MONDAY RESULTS - June 23
(high school softball)
(#9-3A)Sergeant Bluff-Luton 3, Gehlen Catholic 0
Emmetsburg 6, Le Mars 3
(SERGEANT BLUFF) -- Ashtin Hazel's two-run triple in the sixth inning broke up a 1-0 pitcher's duel between S-B-L's Abby Kolar and Gehlen's Emily Meyer and No. 9 (3A) Sergeant Bluff-Luton shutout Gehlen Catholic 3-0 at Sergeant Bluff Monday night in summer softball action between two former War Eagle Conference rivals. Kolar finished with a four-hitter with one walk and three strikeouts. Meyer gave up just six hits with two walks and one strikeout. Kennedy Colvert drove in the first Warrior run with a third inning double. Jill Kessenich had two hits for Gehlen Catholic. The Lady Jays fall to 12-and-13 with the loss.
(EMMETSBURG) -- Emmetsburg took advantage of four Le Mars errors and a wild pitch to score four unearned runs enroute to a 6-3 upset win over the league-leading Lady Bulldogs Monday night in a Lakes Conference encounter at Emmetsburg. The Lady E-Hawks built a 4-0 lead before Le Mars tried to rally late. Janessa Milbrodt's two-run triple cut the lead to 4-2 in the fifth. Two errors in the sixth, however, led to two more Emmetsburg runs and a 6-2 lead going into the seventh. Madison Heidebrink singled home one run in the seventh inning to cut the deficit to 6-3 and Le Mars had runners on second and third and one of their top sluggers at the plate in Kassidy Rieken. E-Hawk pitcher Ashton Connelly escaped the threat by getting Rieken to foul out to third to end the game. Rieken and Heidebrink had two hits each to pace the Le Mars offense. Janessa Milbrodt, who no-hit Emmetsburg June 10th in an 8-0 win in Le Mars, took the loss. She gave up seven hits, walked one and struck out six. Connelly finished with a six-hitter with nine strike outs. The Lakes Conference loss was the first in two summers for the defending league champs and drops Le Mars into a first place tie with Spirit Lake at 5-and-1. Le Mars takes a 14-and-8 record to Spirit Lake Wednesday for a varsity doubleheader.
(high school baseball)
Emmetsburg 8, Le Mars 6
(#3-1A)Gehlen Catholic 7 Lawton-Bronson 5
(EMMETSBURG) -- Emmetsburg used a three-run homer by Zach Anderson in the first inning to open up an early 6-0 lead and then held off Le Mars to win 8-6 in a Lakes Conference baseball match-up at Emmetsburg Monday. A late charge by the Bulldogs came up a little short. Colan Borchers drove in a pair of runs in the sixth with a bases-loaded single to narrow the deficit to 8-5. Another run scored on a ground out in the seventh and Le Mars had two runners on base with no outs when the E-Hawks pulled off a little defensive magic. They picked a runner off third base and then ended the game with a double play, catching a fly ball in left field and cutting down a Bulldog runner at the plate attempting to tag up and score. Le Mars was checked to just six hits with Dayton Rand and Keaton Candor collecting two hits each. Alex Bell made his varsity debut on the mound for the Bulldogs, working the first two innings and taking the loss. Caleb Cline pitched the final four innings for the Dogs. Le Mars falls to 6-and-8 for the season and 4-and-2 in the conference. Le Mars plays at Estherville/Lincoln Central Tuesday night in a make-up game.
(LAWTON) -- No. 3 (1A) Gehlen Catholic rallied for three runs in the top of the seventh inning to pull out a 7-5 victory over Lawton-Bronson Monday night in a non-conference baseball match-up of two of the better 1A teams in northwest Iowa. The Jays trailed 5-4 going into their final at-bat when Ty Kurth tied the game with a RBI double and Jarod Steffes put the Jays in front with a sacrifice fly. Blake Wiltgen scored on a passed ball for some added insurance. Jarod Steffes then set the Eagles down in order in the bottom of the seventh to earn the win in relief of starter Brady Heying. Gehlen has now won ten in a row and improved their record to 15-and-1 heading into a Wednesday War Eagle Conference game at West Sioux.

Gehlen Catholic 4, (#10-1A)Remsen St. Mary's 3
(LE MARS) -- Gehlen Catholic rallied for four runs in their final two at-bats to erase a 3-0 deficit and stun No. 10 (1A) Remsen St. Mary's 4-3 in War Eagle Conference softball at the Riverview Complex Tuesday night. Alexis Bunkers put the Hawks in front 3-0 with a RBI double in the first and a two-run homer in the third. Gehlen pulled within 3-2 in the fifth inning with a RBI single by Emily Pratt and another run scored on a error. The Lady Jays took the lead with two more runs in the sixth on a RBI double by Melissa Schmit and another throwing error allowed the go ahead run to score. Although Gehlen committed five errors they also made two game-changing defensive plays. They escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the second inning thanks to a 1-2-3 inning-ending double play. Then in the top of the sixth the Lady Jays gunned down a runner at the plate to end the inning. Meghen Heying earned the pitching win despite giving up ten hits. She had no walks and three strikeouts. Morgan Cronin threw a five-hitter for the Hawks but walked three, hit a batter and struck out two. Gehlen Catholic improves to 13-and-13 for the season and 8-and-6 in the War Eagle Conference. Remsen St. Mary's drops to 15-and-7 and 11-and-2 in league play. The two have a re-match Saturday in a make-up game at Remsen.
(high school baseball)
Le Mars 7, Estherville/Lincoln Central 6
(ESTHERVILLE) -- Matt Ellefson completed a comeback from a 5-2 deficit with a tie-breaking, RBI double in the seventh inning to lift Le Mars to a 7-6 Lakes Conference baseball victory at Estherville/Lincoln Central Tuesday night. Le Mars tied the game in the sixth with a run. Colan Borchers came on in relief of Dayton Rand to record a save, getting the final out of the game on a strike out to halt a seventh inning threat by the Midgets. Payton Pick started for Le Mars and worked the first 1 2/3 with Dayton Rand working five innings of relief, allowing just two hits with three walks and five strike outs. Rand was credited with the win. Matt Ellefson led a ten-hit attack for the Bulldogs with three hits and two RBI's and Keaton Candor had two hits and two RBI's. Le Mars snaps a three-game losing streak with the win and improves to 7-and-8 for the season and 5-and-2 in league play.

Transgender college hoops player keeps head high
SANTA CLARA, Calif. The women's basketball team at Mission College expected the bleachers to be full and the hecklers ready when its newest player made her home court debut.
In the days leading up to the game, people had plenty to say about 6-foot-6-inch, 220-pound Gabrielle Ludwig, who joined the Lady Saints as a mid-season walk-on and became, according to advocates, the first transsexual to play college hoops as both a man and a woman.
Coach Corey Cafferata worried the outside noise was getting to his players, particularly the 50-year-old Ludwig.
A pair of ESPN radio hosts had laughed at her looks, referring to her as "it." And online threats and anonymous calls prompted the two-year college to assign the Navy veteran of Operation Desert Storm a safer parking space next to the gym and two police guards.
Last week, Ludwig gathered her 10 teammates at practice and offered to quit. This was their time to shine, she told the group of 18-, 19- and 20-year-olds. She didn't want to be a distraction for the team. The other women said if Ludwig, whom they nicknamed "Big Sexy" and "Princess," didn't play, they wouldn't either.
Didn't she know she was the glue holding the team together?
"Then let's just play basketball," she replied solemnly, looking each teammate in the eye.
A lifelong basketball lover, Ludwig has been helping coach and working out with the Saints since the beginning of the school year, but she only received conference clearance to compete on the last day of November. She took the court as No. 42 the next day, scoring three points on four free throws in about seven minutes of play. Last weekend, during her first home game, she scored eight points in 11 minutes, Facebook friend requests from the opposing team - and not a single heckle.
"I got exactly what I always wanted, just to fit in and be normal like everyone else," Ludwig said.
The story of how she ended up in a basketball uniform again would inspire comparisons to "The Natural" or other tales of middle-aged redemption were it not for gender. Introduced to the sport as an impressively tall 7th grade boy, she played on her high school team as Robert John Ludwig, then one season at a community college on Long Island in New York. After she dropped out, her court appearances were limited to pickup games.
The basketball bug returned 12 years ago, when her daughter from her second marriage, then 7, started playing youth basketball and Ludwig signed on as her coach. Ludwig kept coaching other people's children when her daughter moved on to high school and still works with hundreds of middle school girls every year.
Her transition from a male coach to a female coach five years ago raised questions, but parents generally accepted her decision warmly, she said. So did the women she played with in a couple of intramural leagues.
What the naysayers do not know, she said, is that Ludwig is not the same player she was as a 24-year-old male. She has less muscle and height, because of female hormones she takes. And at her age, she has to work to keep up.
"Yeah, I hit with a little more punch down low, but that's because I weigh 220 pounds, but I am not the only 220 woman out there," she said. "It's different now. My body has changed, my strength has changed, my attitude has changed."
While coaching a youth game on the Mission court last year she met Cafferata. They kept in touch, and when Ludwig half-jokingly asked if he had a spot for her, he said he might.
