Ciamosław Ciamek built a wonderful MOC with 3 parts celebrating the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of the First World War.
"I: 'Enthusiasm' (Paris 1914)
Mobilization in France. The crowd greets soldiers marching, and the recruitment point is popular."
"II: 'Awe' (Passchendaele 1917)
Positional War. The so-called third Battle of Ypres, fought in a sea of mud, in which drowned tens of thousands of soldiers."
"III: 'Glory' (Vaux-sur-Somme 1918)
April 21, 1918 Manfred von Richthofen – 'Red Baron' – was shot down on the French territory. Probably by the Australian machine gunner."

Housing's spring swing looks more and more like it isn't just a fling.
On average nationwide, prices and sales are up, inventories are down and more and more markets reveal strength not seen in years.
Certainly, seasonal factors are in play, but compared to last year at this time, the housing market looks more like a recovering housing market, according to Realtor.com's Real Estate Trend Data for March.
• Prices – The nationwide median list price for single-family homes, condos, townhomes and co-ops (SFH/CTHCOPS) was $189,900 in March 2012, a 5.56 percent jump from a year ago.
Higher list prices prompt buyers to get off the fence before they are priced out of the market. Higher prices likewise encourage sellers to list if they've been waiting for a stronger market.
• Inventories – The national for-sale SFH/CTHCOPS inventory plunged 21.48 percent in March, compared to a year ago. A smaller supply helps push prices up.
• Sales – Realtor.com won't release March sales figures until later this month, but if February was any indication, March should be strong. For February, completed SFH/CTHCOPS transactions came in at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.59 million, up 8.8 percent from a year ago.
While the national picture looks rosier than a year ago, some markets continue to struggle.
Conditions lag in hardest hit markets, including Las Vegas and many parts of California. The same is true for areas that didn't experience skyrocketing home prices – Chicago and Philadelphia.
Except for Washington D.C. metro area, most of markets with the highest median list price increases that also experienced the largest reductions in their for-sale inventories were among the hardest hit by the foreclosure crisis. That bodes well for those locations.
Foreclosed properties remain a big chunk of sales, but the four markets with the largest year-over-year increase in median list prices – Phoenix, AZ; Miami, FL; Boise City, ID; and Punta Gorda, FL are recovery leaders.
"The market is trending up unevenly, with record high consumer buying power and sustained job gains giving buyers the confidence they need to get into the market," said Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist.

UF Blog Entry #7: YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO DO IT
June 7, 2006 6:23 PM
Do what you may ask? ... Be a slave to INSTITUTIONALIZED SPENDING PATTERNS. It's easy to buy the same old way and the same old things. But with fragmentation galore, it just won't be effective. The solution is not to follow the supposed Holy Grail of Reach and Supplier Consolidation. All that does is increase MEDIA WASTE (unqualified customers for clients) and often, cost. Be open to utilizing new networks, ideas and opportunities to truly connect with clients' core customers and prospects.
Most overused UF phrase: "You're not a must buy." After all, these days, what IS a must buy? If the entire buying community ONLY bought "must buys" how many billions of $ would be left over? It should be about what we would like to buy on behalf of our clients because it makes sense.
WORDS - Portal ... the dictionary defines it as "a doorway, entrance, or gate, especially one that is large and imposing." So, all of you UF "Agency Portals" out there, are you physically large and imposing ... or is it your buying clout?
UF FUTURESHOCK PART I: What do you suppose it will look like in 2016? Well, DisneyViaCast will be one of the three major global media operations. There will be an UF each quarter across all video platforms. What was known as scatter will be accommodated through an electronic trading system developed by a JV of NASDAQ, Cisco and Texas Instruments. Nearly half of all video usage will come from human chip implants, approved by the FDA after five years of trials. AMERICAN IDOL remains the #1 prime time program, but actual program content is 15% and long form commercials occupy 85% of running time. Most top Hollywood film producers are spending more of their time on long form spots than feature films.

A former professor offers film critic Simon the chance of a lifetime—to write a book on one of the greatest long-lost comedians of the silent-film era, Tubby Thackeray. Simon is determined to find out the truth behind the jolly fat man's disappearance from film—and from the world.
Tubby's work carries the unmistakable stamp of the macabre. People literally laughed themselves to death during his performances. Soon, wherever Simon goes, laughter—and a clown's wide, threatening grin—follow. Is Simon losing his mind? Or is Tubby Thackeray waiting for him to open the door back to the world?

Lorain, Ohio —
The usually reliable Terre Haute Rex bullpen failed in the final two innings Saturday night, allowing six runs in the final two innings as host Lorain County came from behind for an 8-3 Prospect League baseball win.
The Rex took a 3-2 lead in the top of the seventh when Derek Hannahs walked and came around on a double by Lucas Hileman and an error.
But the Ironmen took the lead in the bottom of the inning on a sacrifice fly and Jeff Cola's two-out double, then added three more two-out runs in the eighth.
Nick Johnson had a pair of run-scoring doubles to lead the Rex, driving in Koby Kraemer after an error in the fourth inning and following up a single by Joe Meggs with another RBI in the sixth.
The loss spoiled a quality start for Chris Nunn of the Rex, who allowed just one earned run in six innings.
Terre Haute Rex 000 101 100 — 3 6 2
Lorain County Ironmen 100 001 33x — 8 12 2
Nunn, Wren (7), Kohorst (8), Dorsett (8) and Teschner; Revello, Blackburn (7), Bryant (8) and Grieco. W — Blackburn. L — Wren. S — Bryant.

The PBL Timeline Calendar Portfolio Lesson Plan DeveloperMore Related Discussions
1 Reply 814 Views
A simple approach to PBL and integration of the course standards is to create an EXCEL file using W. Edwards Deming's Problem solving steps (Total Quality Management) in a vertical column on the left of the spreadsheet, then put the basic standard descriptions across the top row in weekly steps. Mine is broken down from an 18 week semester course divided into (2) 9 week pages. As the project progresses, each week is represented in a colored cell. Target, or completion dates can be typed into each cell. The cell's colors use the "Rainbow" pallet of colors for quick visual reference to each step of the project. An added bonus of the Timeline calendar/progress chart is quick reference for planning lesson plans. Using the "Tabs", you can have your lesson plans formatted automatically in adjacent sheets with the cells for that week's lesson addressed from the Timeline sheet. If you make adjustments to the Timeline Calendar, the weekly lesson format is automatically changed. I once used this for solving a "problem" for an evaluation. Printed in color, the Timeline, with project completion dates was eye candy for the boss. I also use the Timeline to show completion dates for implementing Common Core activities, such as pre and post tests for the Language Department's "Word Glossary" that I use as a class starter while I'm doing roll call. Being a CTE teacher, the Timeline also helps manage information for individual progress in the student's electronic portfolio. Each step of each student's progress is documented by a copy of a test or photo of their work for each step on the Timeline stored in their electronic file. What are the final results? Nobody falls through a crack in the system, work is documented, and at the end of the course, the students have more than a resume' to take with them. Tools? I use a an HD webcam on my computer for close up photos of welds and a high resolution camera for project documentation. All photos use a roll book number in the photo for ID and anonymity during classroom critiquing and feedback.

Having a good physique could easily top the wish lists of many men. However, getting a good physique is more often than not easier said than done. Mostly what happens is that people fall prey to various myths about having a well built body and end with mixed or no results. Yet another common mistake made by men in their bid to get a great looking body quickly is to mindlessly resort to tactics described in various magazines or by emulating 'ideal' diets of their favourite celebrities. This is a very unhealthy way of getting what they want. It seems rather illogical to abuse their bodies by subjecting it to strenuous exercise regimes. The key to getting a great body in a healthy way is to understand is that these things do not work themselves out miraculously in a matter of a few days or weeks; the body needs time to adjust to the new schedule that it is being subjected to. Likewise, suddenly bombarding one's metabolism with a multitude of vitamin, calcium and proteins is hardly a way out and only reeks of desperation. While the desperation can be amply condoned, the sudden abuse of one's body through these supplements cannot. Moreover, a trend that is fast gaining traction among body building enthusiasts is the usage of prohormone supplements, which can apparently work wonders as far as building a great body is concerned. On the flip side if one glances at the various prohormones review, they will realize that they are not devoid of their share of controversies.
To start with, prohormones are basically inter-gland precursor to a hormone. It doesn't add any hormones to the body but instead it catalyzes the performance of another hormone. The main difference between steroids and prohormone is that while the former adds to the volume of hormones in a body the latter doesn't. According to prohormones review, one can easily deduce that they are instrumental in adding muscle to the body if its intake is backed by a suitable exercise regime. They are analogous to anabolic steroids, however minus the dangerous health effects. They are usually used by athletes in order to increase their power, size, their endurance capacity and to increase their lean weight. They are also used for fat reduction as well. The biggest problem with prohormones is that people often generalize and start using one that may not be ill suited to their body. Prohormones work in a different manner on different body types. As there are many types of prohormones, people should always consult a doctor before taking a supplement.
If any good and reputed prohormones review is consulted, people would realize that a prohormone supplement must be followed by a cycle support system. A normal prohormone supplement entails the body using up artificially produced testosterone, to an extent that the body gets used to this. After the prohormone cycle ends, as the body is still used to artificial testosterone, people may feel certain side effects. In order to mitigate these effects, people should follow their prohormone therapy with a cycle support supplement as well as a post-cycle supplement system. This way, prohormones will give optimal results just as those poised by a reputed prohormones review.

The Sunseeker Predator 84 is a sexy beast. Seen here in a bit of a benign state, it will travel up to 42 knots, says the builder. Note the size of the people on the flying bridge.Hyperbolic marketing-speak aside; the Predators are, in fact, well-endowed under the hood. The Predator 84 is available either with conventional twin-shaft props or with twin Arneson surface drives. According to the company, the standard prop version will do up to 35 knots. With the Arnesons and the manliest engines, the 84 will do up to 42 knots. That's not bad for a boat that weighs over 131,000 lbs. (59,700 kg.)Command central allows guests to share the thrill of driving fast (although you might consider losing the coffee when the driver winds it up). Scotty, bring her to warp speed.Going 42 knots in a boat this size is more fun than the average person should have, but as the marketers say, it's not for the faint-hearted. It's also not for those who are terribly concerned about running costs. The specs Sunseeker publishes list fuel capacity as 1,981 gallons. Cruising speed with the Arnesons is listed as "up to 30 knots," and range "up to 300 nautical miles." That works out to something like 5.9 gallons per mile, which gives you some idea of how much power it takes to rule the waves in the Predator 84.Did we say that this Sunseeker is not for everybody? Sunseekers are well-constructed, meticulously finished and yes; they are sexy as hell. It has been a winning combination for the Poole, England boat builder. No one would ever call a Sunseeker dowdy. The Predator 84's saloon is as contemporary as the tony salons of Torino. The 84 will accommodate up to eight guests in four cabins each with an en suite head, as they should be in this class of vessel. She also ships a crew of three – captain, mate and stew, would be our choice. As with any yacht this size, owners have plenty of input into décor, but you'd never see the Predator 84 done up teak.The formal dining space is fully integrated with the saloon. The hardtop retracts revealing a skylight. Note the table for al fresco dining on the aft deck. We like the hardwood saloon sole instead of the carpet over plywood that you often find in boats of this size.The owner's full-beam suite is a study in contemporary décor. We like the proportions that the builder has selected for the four cabins, making sure that the guests' living spaces are not gobbled up by a voracious owner's cabin.The master bath continues the theme of style with simplicity and practicality. Note the large shower stall, lacquered cabinets and decorative anthurium, another example of the Predator's thinly disguised power. Guests don't have it so bad either. We like the vanity/desk with chair/stool, something rarely seen even on an 84-footer in a guest stateroom. Note, more anthurium.Guests? Well, ensconced in one of the two ensuite twins, they won't have it so bad either, particularly with an en suite head. Part of the appeal of a yacht like the Predator 84 is having fun in the sun. The boat has plenty of outdoor space to lounge and bake. The aft deck has a dining/cocktails table and the foredeck has a settee and additional deck space, but at 40 knots, you might want to leave the drinks behind. If you're the kind of guy who, like they say, has "drive, stamina and a thinly disguised sense of power," you'd feel right at home with this power palace afloat.A "garage" is a feature generally found on larger yachts. The Predator 84 has space to keep its tender and toys off the decks and ready to rumble. The Predator 84 has all the flash of an Italian sport yacht, with all the elegance of, well, an Italian sport yacht. Temper all of that panache with a strong dose of John Bull reliability and you have a winning combination. The galley on the Predator 84 is down below in the crew quarters, as preferred on European boats. Note crew cabin in the background.We like the accommodations layout of the Predator 84. Note that the master stateroom has a walk-in closet with a side for his and her, with drawers in between. This is a good use of space instead of a full beam bath. Note on the main deck the formal dining table seats eight and there is still a huge area of the cocktail table and conversation pit. Crew quarters and the galley is accessed by the stairs in the aft part of the saloon by the concave stainless steel sliding doors opening to the aft deck. This arrangement can be modified any way you want; as you will notice in the pictures, there is an optional layout. Count them – there are three eating venues on this 84' boat: at the settee on the foredeck, on the large aft deck, and in the formal dinning area in the cabin. There are two bunny pads, one forward and one aft. A helm is optional on the flying bridge.So, what does all of this elegance, speed and anthurium cost? It all depends on which engines, drive systems and other options you put on the boat. As we have noted, when you are moving this much weight around you need lots of horses. Further, Arneson drives do not come cheap. The MSRP price of a new Sunseeker Predator 84 can run anywhere from $4.6 to $5.6 million. But once you have one, you'll never look back.

Boulder Weekly & Z2 Entertainment are proud to present Stephen Kellogg And The Sixers with Jon McLaughlin and Graham Colton at the Fox Theatre on Thursday, December 1st, 2011. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 5th for $16.00 in advance & $18.00 day of show.
Massachusetts rockers Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers, Kit "Goose" Karlson (keys, bass, vocals), Brian "Boots" Factor (drums, vocals) and Sam "Steamer" Getz (guitars, vocals)— return this fall with Gift Horse, their second studio release on Vanguard Records, available on October 11th. Produced by Mark Weinberg, Gift Horse brings the rich legacy of rock & roll into the present tense with 11 real-life narratives about love, family, and what it means to be an American today.
Stephen Kellogg chose to title the album Gift Horse for a clear-cut thematic reason. "There's the old saying, 'Don't look a gift horse in the mouth,'" Kellogg says, "which translated as showing appreciation for what you have.' That's exactly what this record's about - appreciation that I have a job right now in 2011, with all that's going on economically in our country; appreciation for my family, because there's nothing that I value more; and appreciation of America in general."
Nowhere is this theme more apparent than on the first single and opening track, "Gravity." Kellogg writes, "Gravity you're knocking me out/ You're shakin' me up till I twist and I shout/ Oh, Gravity it's okay in the clouds/ But I love it right here with my feet on the ground."
Leading up to the release of the album, SK6ERS embark on a North American headline tour with Jon McLaughlin beginning September 27th in Birmingham, AL. Additional stops include Atlanta, Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
With Gift Horse Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers make a bold statement with a simple message. If you are ready to embrace the core values of life wrapped in timeless rock & roll then this is the record you've been waiting for.

Marianne Faithful will release her 23rd album, Horse and High Heels, in the US on June 28th via Naïve Records. The collection of songs consists of four originals and eight covers ranging from Carol King's "Going Back" to Greg Dulli & Mark Lanegan's "The Stations." Four of the tracks feature virtuosic guitarist John Porter (Eric Clapton, The Smiths) while Lou Reed and Dr. John/MC5's Wayne Kramer each make cameos on multiple songs.
Iconic, influential, and inimitable, Marianne has been an entrancing and creative musical presence for the past 47 years. Beginning with her debut single, "As Tears Go By" (1964, the first song ever written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards), Marianne has created an enduring legacy with her distinct, emotive, and truly haunting voice. She has also established herself as a powerful songwriter with a gift for crafting visceral melodies and deeply resonant lyrics. Her artistic fearlessness has led her to sing with legends like David Bowie and Metallica, and collaborate with a younger generation of musicians she influenced such as Beck, Morrissey, Billy Corgan and Blur.
Horses and High Heels was recorded in New Orleans and features a core of masterful local musicians. It was produced by Hal Willner (Laurie Anderson, Allen Ginsberg), who also helmed Marianne's critically-acclaimed 2009 collection of covers and duets: Easy Come, Easy Go. The songs touch on everything from soul, blues, folk, country, jazz-pop perkiness, and beguiling guitar-rock. Much like the rest of her career, the only consistent theme or style of the album is Marianne herself. Click HERE to listen to the original new song, "Why Did We Have To Part?"

FORT GIBSON – When you're No. 1, minutes are golden and hard-earned.
Grace Parker knows this, and she's given some golden effort on defense to find her way into the mix for defending Class 4A champion Fort Gibson.
Parker was a constant amongst a mix of four Lady Tigers that spent the night harassing whoever dribbled for the Sallisaw Lady Diamonds, helping her team cruise to a 75-41 win at Harrison Field House on Saturday.
Parker had three steals and caused numerous others as she's caught on as a key component in the Lady Tigers' starting lineup.
"Our pressure on the ball is pretty tough, that's no secret, but it starts with Grace Parker," FGHS coach Jerry Walker said.
"You could not ask her to play any harder. She came off the bench for us the first semester and became a catalyst defensively – and how could we keep her off the floor after that. She makes things happen.
"All the time she was sitting she never pouted, played hard every chance she got, and to me that serves as a good role model for everyone on the bench. It tells them to play your tail off when you get the chance."
Parker had three steals and 11 points. Allie Glover matched her point total and contributed five thefts. Savannah Gray had three steals and 10 points.
Helping out those three starters was Aaliyah Dailey-Lee. The sophomore showed she's paying attention to what Walker was talking about with three steals and 8 points.
"We just have a lot of teamwork," Parker said. "We work and talk and know who's going to be up there and everyone does their jobs."
In all, Sallisaw turned the ball over 27 times. Fourteen occurred in the opening half, which saw the Lady Tigers take a 37-17 lead to the locker room.
A 10-0 run in the first three minutes of the second half pushed the lead to 30. Desiree Phipps, who finished with a game-high 24 points to give Fort Gibson four double-figure scorers on the night, had her final 13 in the third quarter. Included in that was a 3-pointer with 5:10 to go to make it 47-17. She watched from the bench in the fourth quarter.
It wasn't until the lead reached 30 that Bailey Morgan got going for Sallisaw (10-8), which lost at home to the Lady Tigers 60-41 on Monday. She had 10 of her team-high 11 points in the final five minutes of the third quarter.
The win was Fort Gibson's 21st consecutive dating back to the 4A area consolation finals last March, moving them to 17-0 on the year.

Avalanche Rider
Play this game as:Applet Web Start Source
Click a tab to play this game!
What was your inspiration for the game?
Our snow theme, plus the idea to do something avalanche-related has been bouncing around in my head ever since Ludum Dare 25, where the theme was "you are the villain". My original idea had you playing the part of the avalanche, but I couldn't quite get the mechanic to feel right so I ended up not making an entry. Those ideas mixed a bit with Line Rider and Dino Run, and this game was conceived. Then mini-LD 39 had a theme of hindsight, or "make the game you wished you made before", and this game was born. For its Ludum Dare entry page, go here.
Did you run into any challenges while creating the game?
I'm still learning libGDX, and this is my first "real" game using it.
Do you have any future plans for the game?
Perhaps! This is my first entry to One Game a Month, which I'm going to use to explore a few ideas to see what sticks. Hopefully by October I'll have a game worthy of expanding for the Ludum Dare October Challenge. I originally wanted to add features like doing tricks and getting points, similar to Dolphin Olympics 2 (which I just realized has an Android version!), so that and better art might be something to explore. With that in mind, if any pixels artists out there want to team up and really polish a game, let me know!

Our REC center could be better but it's okay
Our hockey team is really good but that's about it. People get really into that but the other sports aren't really a big deal.
Hockey is the big sport at Ferris State University. All other sports are overshadowed by the hype of the hockey team. It is a great atmosphere.
I work with many ferris state students, and they always are talking about the football games and filling me in! Even though I don't have time to participate in any extra events on campus, I can tell they are a big part from people's conversations in the classroom and with people I know.
Within our school there are many people who feel that the athletes are far too boosted at our school.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Written by Lauren Moore
At Ferris, the only well-respected sports program is hockey. At almost every game, there is a packed student section, and the community comes to pack the arena, as well. The students' presence can be felt around the arena when they chant and cheer on the hockey team. The other sporting events at Ferris are not attended by that many students. There has been an increased presence at the basketball games following a better season by the teams. But if there is a lack of students at these games, the atmosphere is still energetic, being fueled mostly by the University pep band.
At the basketball games as well as the hockey games, there is a section that is referred to as the "Dawg Pound," which is where the students are encouraged to sit and cheer on the team. Hockey games cost the students $6 to attend, and the basketball games and any other sports offered are free to students. For the limited budget that Ferris has, the athletic facilities on campus are accessible and clean. The facilities are well maintained and are a pleasant place to enjoy the sports. There is also an intramural and club sports scene that is somewhat important to the students. Intramurals that are offered include dodgeball, volleyball, broomball, basketball, and hockey. There is also a myriad of club teams including volleyball, rugby, table tennis, baseball, hockey, dance teams, and many more.

Local manufacturers have hundreds of job openings. Now they need the workers to fill them.
As the economy continues to inch upward and consumer spending rises, demand for products of all kinds is spurring a need for more workers.
"We have positions that have opened up. We need commercial sewing operators and we need people to do assembly and upholstering," said Steve Yoder, vice president for human resources at Wieland Designs in Goshen.
The company manufactures seat covers for the airline, automobile and furniture industries.
To attract workers to the plant, Wieland partnered with the worker recruiting company Specialty Staffing Solutions to hold a job fair Saturday morning.
"Right now we could use 10 to 15 sewing operators and seven to eight assembly and upholstery people," Yoder said Friday before the fair.
Saturday morning, as Yoder and Kelli Pursley of Specialty Staffing Solutions stood at the door of the plant to greet prospective employees with smiles, handshakes and tasty treats, dozens of workers were hunkered down nearby at sewing machines and working overtime. They were busy sewing bright blue seatcovers for a national airline company.
Yoder said commercial sewing companies in Elkhart County are worried about a gap between their needs and the lack of sewing skills in the pool of available workers.
"If we look at the supply and demand economy, we are running a deficit of those who have the skill sets by 220 to 500 people," he said.
He said that estimate comes from statistics supplied by WorkOne, the state's employment agency.
Yoder said that while sewing was once a common skill taught in high schools, many young people no longer learn how to sew. He said he has been talking to local educators, state agencies and others in an effort to increase training opportunities.
For those workers who have some sewing training and possess a desire to learn, it takes the Wieland staff six to 10 months of training to get the new hire's skill level up to an acceptable level, according to Yoder.
"When you are making a high-end seat cover for a high-end Ford Mustang Cobra, there is very little room for error," he said.
Job creation tops 9,000
In June 2007 the nation's economy was steaming full-speed ahead. As consumers grabbed up luxury goods of all kinds, the dominant recreational vehicle industry in Elkhart County had trouble finding enough workers to build its products. During the heyday of June 2007 the county's employment grew to 132,200 people. Many of those were driving into the county from southern Michigan and surrounding Indiana counties.
The recession hit the RV industry hard and jobs and companies disappeared quickly. In January of this year the county's employed workers numbered 107,700, which was actually a 4.6 percent boost over January 2010. But as the national economy continued its agonizingly slow growth, Elkhart County had a spurt of job creation.
There were 9,900 jobs added in the county from January to May, according to Indiana Workforce Development statistics.
Dorinda Heiden-Guss, president of the Elkhart County Economic Development Corp., said her agency is working to lure manufacturers to the county and retain those already here.
She said the EDC in 2011 recorded more than 1,800 new jobs being announced through the agency and more than $115 million in new investment in the county's companies.
Others are growing
Wieland is not the only local company seeking workers. Winnebago in Middlebury and Utilimaster and Monaco RV in Wakarusa, are seeking hundreds of workers between them. It's a trend that began last year.
When Winnebago Industries in Forest City, Iowa wanted to expand its product base beyond its traditional motorhome offerings, the company acquired towable RV manufacturer SunnyBrook RV in Middlebury. That acquisition put Winnebago's financial power behind the company, which has been able to expand its product line and sign many new dealers. That business plan has led to hiring at the plant.
"I guess you could attribute it to several different factors," said Fred Hershberger about the hiring. He is national sales manager at Winnebago's Middlebury operation. "We have had a tremendous amount of growth over the last year. Our production has doubled over what we were doing at this time last year."
Hershberger said that during the past 18 months all the company's products have been redone and many dealers have been added, increasing the company's sales opportunities.
He said Sunnybrook has added more than 100 employees and is looking for more. "We expect this growth to continue," he said.
Along the east side of Ind. 19 in Wakarusa the Utilimaster complex stretches out like an Army base. The aging factory buildings are a hodgepodge of structures that were added over the years as the need arose. Out front of all those buildings are parking lots filled with workers' vehicles. And further out toward the highway is a portable sign that offers 150 jobs, and hope, for the county's unemployed.
Utilimaster builds custom bodies for delivery trucks of all kinds. UPS and FedEx are two of the company's good customers. Because of growing contracts, Utilimaster needs workers.
John Forbes, company president, said Utilimaster has added 200 workers so far and is seeking more.
"Our business normally has a second half of the year seasonality," Forbes said. "Part of it (the hiring) would be the normal season cycle for us. On top of that our business is growing for sure. That is a positive."
He said the company needs general assembly workers and painters to add to its 800-person work force.
The company is preparing to move from its current collection of plants to a new facility near Bristol where operations can be combined under one roof and the manufacturing and assembly processes made more efficient. That move will take about a year to complete, according to Forbes.
Still a need
Wakarusa and Nappanee were at the center of the nation's recession in 2008 and 2009 after Monaco Coach Corp. folded and 1,400 local jobs were lost. The once-bankrupt recreational vehicle maker was sold to Navistar International. The new Monaco reopened a plant in Wakarusa and is in the process of adding 400 workers to replace the 400 who lost their jobs when the company moved its Coburg, Org. operation to Wakarusa.
Despite the influx of new jobs, there is still a need to help families with utility bills and food, according to Hank Whelan, who oversees the Open Door food bank in Nappanee. The food bank covers all the Wa-Nee school district, which includes Wakarusa.
"They are pretty steady," Whelan said of the 150 or so people stopping in for help each month. "It seems we have the same people coming in each month."
One of the problems these people are facing, according to Whelan, is underemployment. "Their wages don't quite meet their needs, even if they are working. You have to be pretty skilled at something to get top wage," he said.
The jobs being added at Monaco may help.
Stephen Schrier, spokesman for Monaco, said the company has almost completed hiring the 400 workers needed to take over the Coburg tasks. But more jobs are coming.
"We are looking to add about another 100," he said.
"We are looking right now at general assembly workers, painters, welders and certainly anyone with previous RV experience or general manufacturing or automotive skills," he said.
The RV industry is continuing to maintain a gain this year in units produced. The Recreational Industry Association announced Friday that shipments of RVs in May were up 4.9 percent over May 2011. The industry is also projecting a yearly gain of 6 percent.
Schrier said his company is more conservative on the growth estimate, forecasting a 4 or 5 percent gain.
"But growth is growth and we are glad to see that," Schrier said.

No sooner had Google announced they were finally launching their much vaunted cloud storage solution called Google Drive, a company called Spanning launched a companion.
Spanning is generally more known as a backup service for Google Apps, but rather than just stick to this narrow field, the firm has managed to develop something that it hopes will transform its own fortunes.
A free tool, Spanning Stats analyses your Google Drive account providing a report detailing the content (including percentage usage) of anything stored on Google Drive.
Personally, while this sounds great, I am not sure at this stage how much use it would be to me as an individual. However, for a large business or organisation where costs are important, this could help maintain proper housekeeping.
Spanning Stats has a number of functions. For instance, it will tell you the ten latest and oldest files stored on Google Drive. It will also indicate the ten biggest files, and perhaps more pertinent for businesses, the ten users who are using most of the storage facility.
Google Drive was only very recently launched, but it seems Spanning must have been planning their own application for quite some time, since a spokesperson for the company told reporters that since it was launched, no fewer than 25,000 users now use the tool. In fact, this rise is so phenomenal the application is now listed as one of the top Google Apps in Google Marketplace.
Excellent news for both Spanning and Google alike, I suspect.

Communication breakdown is the leading cause of medical errors such as gaps in health care, incomplete or missing information, and medication errors. Most importantly, communication supports the foundation of patient care. So, hand-off reporting during shift change is a critical process that is key in protecting a patient's safety. Throughout the hand-off report, it is vital to provide accurate, up-to-date, and pertinent information to the oncoming nurse. Not only are nurses transferring responsibility, we are shepherding and ensuring a safe passage.

Juvenile Sentencing
By Clay Masters
Bills making their way through the legislative process would set sentencing options for juveniles convicted of first-degree murder. The debate comes after a U.S. Supreme Court decision ruled juvenile offenders can not be sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. But, how much time is enough? 40, 50 or even 60 years? Today on River to River, we talk about the legislation and how the courts have ruled on the treatment of juvenile offenders.

Good Morning and pardon me while I completely ignore the art of filing a violation. That's no way to start a Friday. Of course there are concerns, and it's hard to put our trust in the Athletic Department.
But as a college basketball fan, I have bigger fish to fry.
You see, in a world full of B
CS the lore of another college sport has become lost. Thanks to all the "players" in the political system that is division I basketball, the fan will suffer the next few seasons as the expansion of conferences now has majorly affected the smaller conferences of college basketball.
After coming across tickets at the last minute, Joe was able to make the trip north and gives us the inside scoop from the game…
On Sunday the Buckeyes will continue their 2011 NCAA Tournament journey when they take on the George Mason Patriots, who prevailed in their first round game against Villanova on Friday. George Mason's victory was one of the numerous thrilling finishes from this year's tournament thus far, as the Patriots came back from being down six in the final two minutes to claim the win. A three-pointer from sophomore Luke Hancock with 21 seconds remaining gave George Mason the lead over Villanova, and they were able to hold on for the final few ticks to advance in the bracket.
George Mason is most well known for its epic run to the Final Four in the 2006 Tournament, where they lost to eventual champion Florida in the semifinal game. The Patriots have been back to the tourney since then, but have failed to advance beyond the first round until this year. Jim Larranaga, the coach of that Final Four team, is still at the helm for George Mason and is happy to facilitate hopes of another run through the Big Dance. Ohio State should beware, as this team is focused on making their own story and not just making an appearance for the sake of saying they participated. Read More

Children's Flu Clinics Scheduled
The children's flu vaccine has arrived at the North Shore Health Department and two children's clinics have been scheduled:
It's Flu Shot Time
Additional Seasonal and H1N1 Flu Clinics Scheduled
Due to the bad weather expected for tomorrow, Dec. 8., the North Shore Health Department has scheduled a second clinic for SEASONAL flu (not H1N1):
Seasonal Flu Clinic Scheduled
It is not too late to get a flu shot for protection against the seasonal flu (not H1N1) which typically does not peak until January or later. The North Shore Health Department will get the last of its vaccine order sometime this week. A clinic has been scheduled for the seasonal flu shot for adults:
H1N1 Clinic Scheduled for Targeted Populations
The North Shore Health Department will have an H1N1 Flu Immunization Clinic on Wednesday, November 4, from 3:30-6:30 PM. The clinic will be held at the Fox Point Police Department, 7300 N. Santa Monica Blvd., Fox Point. Parking is also available at the North Shore Congregational Church at 7330 N. Santa Monica Blvd.
H1N1 Flu
There is such an abundance of information about the H1N1 flu. It seems everywhere you turn there is something about it. Keep in mind that it is important to keep informed about this rapidly changing situation.
H1N1 Flu Update
It has been only several weeks since the H1N1 flu outbreak surfaced but, at times, it probably seems to be much longer. The topic of this flu is in the news every day and some people are beginning to think "enough already!".
Don't Forget to Get a Flu Shot
There is still time to protect yourself from the flu and the North Shore Health Department has scheduled two additional clinics to help you out.

Werner Braun: School Systems Benefit From Better Carpet CleaningIn his October 9, 2011 column titled "It starts in the schools" for the Dalton Daily Citizen, Carpet and Rug Institute president Werner Braun talks about the Carpet and Rug Institute's Seal of Approval testing and certification program for carpet cleaning products and equipment and how the SOA program can help school systems.
"When the Carpet and Rug Institute (CRI) first began certifying cleaning products and equipment with our Seal of Approval (SOA) program, we envisioned a day when firms all across the country would either recommend or require the sole use of SOA-certified products to clean the carpets within their properties.
We have been actively engaged with the Environmental Protection Agency Tools for Schools Program. We have worked hand-in-hand with the Council of Educational Facility Planners Institute (CEFPI) to make sure their members were aware of the savings and benefits our SOA program could offer in taking care of their carpet maintenance needs.
As we have worked our way through this process, we have been engaged with as many individual school systems as possible, and we never turn down a chance to get in front of that audience.
Last week, CRI attended an in-service meeting for the Jackson, Mississippi School District to provide them detailed information on how they could better serve the district's 61 schools' carpet cleaning needs.
One school system custodian remarked about the carpet he cares for in the schools he serves, saying, 'I love to be able to see those kids playing on that soft carpet, and I love the fact that, with all those little voices making so much noise, our carpeted rooms are always quieter. I even have teachers who absolutely wouldn't teach in a room if it didn't have carpet, but they also hate it when they have little accidents, and it always falls into my court to make sure the carpet continues to look good. It hasn't always been an easy task, but having something like the SOA program looks like that might solve a lot of those problems for me.'"
Thank you, Werner.

Or did, suckas.
Hot on the heels of both patch 1.1 and our discussion of the inherent suck of the Zerg comes patch 1.1.1, which features a number of small changes, most notably this one:
"Fixed an issue where Ultralisk cleave range was being unintentionally extended by larger targets"
According to the SC2Armory, this has "fixed the Ultralisk splash bug, but also now rendered it useless against all units".
We have only one thing to say regarding this matter.
Wait, one more.
QQ moar noob.
Look, we'll fully admit that Zerg are hard to play – we did in our previous post anyway, so you should know by now that we won't claim they're easy – but that doesn't mean that Blizz should bring down the house for them.
Zerg players have been very vocal about the suckiness of their race, with some high-end (and poser) players "threatening" to not play Zerg until the balance issues are worked out.
Blizzard, ever vigilant, listened to its fans and buffed up the poor Ultralisk in 1.1. Then, in a move of stunning comic boldness, got out the old Nerf bat and started whacking away again.
This is why we love this company.
Sure, Blizzard makes mistakes, but they're not afraid to really infuriate people, really make them gnash their teeth together and flail away at the padded armrests of their gaming chairs.
The company will do what it deems best for the game, even if that's not always best for the gamer.
A bold strategy, you would think.
Until you look at the numbers.
Sure, these "elite" players are threatening to walk away from the Hives and Lairs they so dearly love, leaving their poor roaches to wander aimlessly, senselessly burrowed somewhere under the map, but the fact is that Blizzard already has their money, especially from gamers who live in North America.
Without monthly pay-for-play fees, Blizzard got $60 from these guys, and isn't going to give it back anytime soon. As of September 1, the game had sold over 3 million copies, making it the bestselling strategy game of all time.
Basically, Blizzard can do whatever the [bleep] they want, and still walk away a Bajillion dollars richer.
We don't agree with everything the company does – the RealID experiment was an unmitigated disaster, and we're still not sure they should have given in to the overly moralistic Korean governing body that forced them to release two versions of SCII in that country, but the fact remains that they make great games that people buy.
So if you're reading this, Zerg whiners, go ahead and stop playing. We don't care for your squishy bug-creatures anyway, and you typically beat the snot out of us, nerf bat or no.
Come back out of hiding once you feel that Blizzard has properly addressed your concerns, and we're at the top of our game with Terran.
Speaking of the Terrans, there are a few improvements we'd like to see, such as…
We think we hear a Blue.
Shhhh. Be vewy vewy quiet.

Janet Napolitano Is Wrong Pick to Lead University of California
Based on her tenure in the federal government, the DHS chief will be an advocate for more of everything that has turned the current university system into such a bureaucratic, scandal-plagued mess.
With its 10 campuses, nearly 200,000 staff, and $20 billion annual budget, the University of California system is emblematic of the state government that pays a portion of its bills – enormous, unruly, overly expensive, steeped in politics, dominated by unions and other special-interest groups, and plagued with controversy.
California voters in 2010 turned the reins of the California government over to Jerry Brown, who has – despite his whimsical rhetoric – governed as the ultimate status-quo politician who has protected the state bureaucracy from reform.
Likewise, the UC regents have decided to choose a status-quo candidate as its newest president, as Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano gets the nomination. UC Regent Sherry Lansing said in a statement that some might find Napolitano to be an "unconventional choice," but that's nonsense. Napolitano is as conventional of a choice as one might have to run a large bureaucracy even if she has no serious academic experience.
Based on her tenure in the federal government, she will be an advocate for higher spending, for expanded unionization, and for more of everything that has turned the current university system into such a bureaucratic, scandal-plagued mess.
Just when the system needed a reformer who might implement competitive reforms and focus on cost-cutting, the system turns to a Washington insider more apt to keep federal funds flowing and student aid primed than to stretch the large budget already there.
The University of California has been embroiled in so many grotesque scandals in recent years. In one pay scandal, administrators enriched themselves and even their friends and lovers even as they were hiking tuition rates for students.
According to a 2010 article in the Bay Citizen, when outgoing President Mark Yudof took the helm amid a financial crisis, he "moved with his wife into a 10,000-square-foot, four-story house with 16 rooms, 8 bathrooms and panoramic views." It cost UC more than $13,000 a month. While Yudof is credited for reducing the system's massive pension problems, he was widely criticized for significantly increasing the living standards of UC leaders and for imposing large tuition hikes on students while he spent his time lobbying at the Capitol for more money.
One of the threads of the UC scandals is the sense of privilege and elitism expressed by those who run it combined with their desire to access more taxpayer cash and evade accountability. The Yudof situation came after a 2007 scandal, in which "UC President Robert Dynes and the governing Board of Regents have handed out more than $1 million in extra pay and perks to about 70 top executives," according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The university system has even struggled with ethical problems involving doctors accused of performing unauthorized brain research on dying patients and UC fertility doctors who used stolen eggs and embryos. Nightmarish things happen at big institutions, but the University of California system seems to endure more of these things than other large universities.
Instead of seeking a forward-looking, market-oriented reformer, UC officials pretend that nothing is amiss and pick an old-school voice. The Sacramento Bee noted that Napolitano's selection "marks shift from academia to politics." That's almost right. UC has always been deeply involved in politics, but now it dispenses with the veneer of academic priorities.
As Republican Assemblyman Tim Donnelly of Hesperia put it, "After failing to secure the border, ignoring the Fast and Furious scandal that killed one of the agents serving under her command, and leading the invasive and ineffective Transportation Security Administration, it's honestly hard to imagine what Janet Napolitano thinks she can do for California's UC system."
He's missing the point. Napolitano will do nothing for UC, which is why she was chosen. She will handle UC's problems in the same way she handled the scandals that came under her department in the federal government. She will dodge, weave, stonewall and attack critics and yammer for more money.
That's why the UC establishment is so thrilled to have her. And it's why Napolitano and the UC leadership – not to mention the state's Democratic leaders – have not said anything of substance about the university's problems as they announced this selection. According to all the speeches, this is about Napolitano being an incredible leader whose love of education will help her lead an even more incredible institution.
It's also Orwellian to have someone with Big Sis's authoritarian background running an educational institution that is supposed to value open debate and free speech.U.S. Rep. Doug LaMalfa, R-Richvale, touched on Napolitano's "poor record on civil liberties and government transparency" and expressed fears about her "authoritarian management style."
His points about civil liberties are well taken given the UC system's own problems on that front after a UC-Davis police officer nonchalantly pepper-sprayed park-squatting students and Occupy protesters in 2011. The officer no longer works for the university, but UC was less than forceful in the way it handled this matter.
If the system were looking for someone to maintain the status quo, it would have been better to at least have selected an accomplished educator. Napolitano is the worst of all worlds, which is bad news for taxpayers, students and the state of California.

On the other hand, she is a great choice if you want the system to crash and burn, bright and hot, in front of all.
I do not wish such, because it will ruin many a young person's future, taxpayer's finances and unleash a locust swarm of UC system refugees on the rest of the United States.
"After failing to secure the border, ignoring the Fast and Furious scandal that killed one of the agents serving under her command, and leading the invasive and ineffective Transportation Security Administration, it's honestly hard to imagine what Janet Napolitano thinks she can do for California's UC system."
Uh, collect a paycheck?
We have a winner!
This is her payoff for serving the Obama administration loyally. That's it.
with a paltry $750,000 salary in her future.
Two words, "Top Men". And if Mr Napolitano is not an example of Top Men then I don't know who is.
I would expect Mr. Napolitano to be more of a hetero power bottom.
Look, if you want all your co-eds frisked and groped, she's a good choice.
Well if you phrase it that way...
"Napolitano will be an advocate for more of everything that has turned the current university system into such a bureaucratic, scandal-ridden mess."
In government generally, and especially with this administration, going with the worst course of action or doubling down on a bad one already in practice is SOP. She is a great choice.
My apologies. He.... He is a great choice.
Who could possibly be a better advocate for free and open intellectual inquiry?
OT, but, hey, it's CA:
You can sign up for a 'smart (something)' from the gov't protected utility PG&E. It supposedly helps for the alternate universe of gov't 'businesses' where the problem is over-demand, rather than the opposite.
You get to feel all warm and fuzzy for 'doing something', and they'll toss you $50 besides. Well, it seems you get to feel REALLY warm:
"PG&E device knocked out AC during heat wave"
Yes, it simply turned off your AC and tough stuff, pal.
Between this and the latest effort to legislate sustainable communities, I can foresee California becoming a ghost state, filled with sustainable cities completely bereft of residents like the ones in China. Wow. Just Wow.
When I posted about the D-town bankruptcy yesterday, someone commented that it seems places where people are paid a living wage are places where no one lives.
The weater's great and the undocument workers are teaching us natives how to prosper in the gray economy.
We'll wind up like Italy, completely fucked up by government stats but actually wealthier with a higher living standard than Britain.
Hurrah for corruption.
They would have to pay me a hell of lot more than $50 to agree to something that stupid. Of course, when this goes nationwide and "volunteer" becomes "compulsory", I guess it won't matter.
State flunky: "Its funny, this house draws a shit-load of power, but it never gets below 90 degrees on the thermostat."
Me: "Weird."
Hey right off the bat she can promote that pepper-spraying pig to Weekend Trailer Park Supervisor!
it's honestly hard to imagine what Janet Napolitano thinks she can do for California's UC system."
According to the story I linked a while back, she was picked for her ruthless elbows-out bureaucratic trench warfare skills, not some mamby-pamby desire to porvide a great education to the young men and women of California.
She's an aristocrat of Pull.
"According to the story I linked a while back, she was picked for her ruthless elbows-out bureaucratic trench warfare skills,"
I could see this. CA is run by the (K-12) TA's, and the SEIU through the puppets in Sacto, so perhaps UC decided they need some muscle to get more of the budget.
"PG&E device knocked out AC during heat wave"
Smart Grid, FTW!
If the system were looking for someone to maintain the status quo, it would have been better to at least have selected an accomplished educator. Napolitano is the worst of all worlds, which is bad news for taxpayers, students and the state of California.
Well, she personally shepherded the steady erosion of civil rights in the nation and presided over a corrupt, bloated and inefficient agency, so she should be perfect for the academic world!
"The system worked."
It took me a few hours to figure it out but I finally nailed it.
She looks like Jason Sudekis.
But he's much funnier.
Janet Napolitano Is Wrong Pick to Lead ... a Girl Scout troop, a chain gang, a clown class, or about anything that requires common sense or integrity.
Why are all the libtard dimocrat women so effin ugly?
I think she was assembled at the factory in Tula and sent here as a plant.
This is her sinecure for being one of the administration's loyal lapdogs. That's all.
I can't think of a more appropriate Statist to run that disaster of an institution.
She'll be a great fund raiser in the Capitol.
"We need some more cheese. Otherwise, well it would be a shame if a drone strike targeted your homes."
This Napolitano will be at the satanic helm of FEMA camps soon!
