SnapMail 5.0
SnapMail 5.0 provides a simple way for organizations of any size to implement cross-platform, peer-to-peer e-mail and file transfer, and it adds several nice touches missing from conventional e-mail programs. After installation, SnapMail automatically displays a list of users on your network. If your company has multiple sites (or multiple network segments within a site), you can configure SnapMail on one computer in each area to function as a server, relaying messages to other locations and queuing messages for users when they're offline. Although users can set up remote access to their messages, SnapMail does not easily accommodate changing IP addresses, so the technique doesn't work well for travelers. I was able to pick up the basics of using SnapMail almost immediately, without consulting the manual.

BRIDGING THE BORDER: COMMUNITY REPS DISCUSS SHARED ECONOMIC INTERESTS
If we educate students who live in our community, the thought is they'll stay and continue to work and live here." As for campus construction, Wood described future plans such as adding on five new classrooms, a full-service nursing lab and a multipurpose room with theater and gym. The big sticking point is the physical infrastructure and what to do with waste water which Wood said is being looked at by the college. A few surprises came up during the presentation, including the different benefits offered by SOCC to Curry County residents. "One of the best kept secrets is, if you graduate from a Curry County high school with a 3.75 GPA and are a resident, the college will pay your tuition to go here," Wood said. "We are also offering a tuition audit. If people don't need the credit but still want to take a course, SOCC will pay the tuition for them to take that class." The reason is to increase enrollment and keep classes up and going with enough people.
Super fan Perry is a fixture at Douglass games
Clad in more orange and black than you'd see on Halloween, a smile comes across his face as soon as he enters any stadium that Douglass plays. That smile never goes away the entire night because for 35 years, there's been one constant at Douglass football games. Coaches move on, players grow up, but one thing remains the same: if the Trojans are playing football, Charles Perry is not too far behind. Perry graduated from Douglass in 1972 and hasn't missed a game since. To everyone associated with Douglass High, Perry personifies everything that is great about the school. "He's just a die-hard Trojan," Douglass running back Da'Sor Horton said. "He's got a real big heart, and he's such a great person. There's nothing he wouldn't do for the program." And Horton's not just blowing smoke — there really is nothing Perry wouldn't do to help out his former stomping grounds.

New Letlow blog: Big recruiting weekend for ULM
ULM is laying the groundwork for a solid recruiting class. The mix of junior college signees and prep prospects can pay dividends now and later.This weekend brought to campus several recruits who could wrap a nice bow around the class, including Elysian Fields (Texas) quarterback Tim Curry and St. James running back Luther Ambrose. Curry (6-4, 191) is probably the No. 1 player left on ULM's recruiting board. The nation's No. 30 pro-style quarterback is listed as a soft commitment to UTEP, but he's still entertaining offers from ULM, Louisiana Tech and ULL. With starter Kinsmon Lancaster entering his senior season, a player with Curry's talent could redshirt and be a three- or four-year starter at ULM. Ambrose (5-9, 160) has Bugs Bunny cartoon speed -- in the 4.2, 4.3 range according to the recruiting services.
