Joel Aplin is on the hunt for a cotton candy machine.
A roller coaster would be nice too, but Aplin jokes he can simply tie some shopping carts together and send the children who attend vacation Bible school at Unity Baptist Church this summer sailing down the hill in the church parking lot.
"I think the rocks (at the edge of the parking lot) would stop them," he says, grinning.
The theme for this year's vacation Bible school at churches across the country is "Colossal Coaster World," with the curriculum designed around facing fears. But Aplin and other VBS volunteers at Unity have a history of coming up with the Cadillac version of each year's message.
It even got him mentioned in the Christian Index, the online magazine published by the Georgia Baptist Convention, as a "Baptist You Should Know."
The children of the church certainly know "Mr. Joel." Months away from VBS, they come running up to the friendly man before Wednesday night services, getting hugs he happily doles out.
"It's not about me," he quickly admits. "It's about them."
The vacation Bible classes Aplin remembers best were spent during summers on his grandparents' farm. The nearby country church had about 30 members, and VBS was held on the back steps each day for a week. Aplin still has two of the crafts he made back then, a shoe shine kit and a lamp.
It's where he learned about Jesus and the Bible, and it's always been part of his life.
That's what he tries to recreate for the kids every summer, on a much grander scale. Aplin studied visual arts at Auburn University and was asked to help decorate the church for VBS eight years ago. His summers haven't been the same since.
The theme that first year was "Arctic Edge," and VBS was still held in the sanctuary. Aplin and volunteers covered the entire place in material painted to look like a snow bank. The set was complete with penguins and polar bears and boxes that looked like blocks of ice.
For a dude ranch one year, he created a fire that looked so real a church member asked if it could be moved to her Sunday school class because the room was always cold.
Another year, they made a "bear cave" with old boxes with teddy bears inside for children to find. An adult got stuck in the maze and had to be helped out.
"I like to do things you normally wouldn't do," Aplin says.
He has created a volcano, the Great Barrier Reef, Ayer's Rock in Australia and the skyscrapers and pigeons of New York City.
Last year, he created an airplane hangar that was 16 feet tall and 30 feet wide.
"I don't know what other churches do," he said. "I've always had fun making things look real."
He uses sound effects too, from the ocean waves to an actual spinning propeller – he used an ice cream freezer motor to make it move.
The week kicks off on the Saturday before with a block party outside the church. It's a chance for the VBS volunteers to get to know the children and their parents. There's always hot dogs and a water slide.
It's the kind of event the church's former youth minister, Max New, loved. New died more than a year ago in a traffic accident.
"I'd have to tell Max to go sit down," Aplin said, because he'd get as excited as the children.
Word usually gets out throughout the week and there are more VBS students at the end of the week than the beginning. You can always tell the VBS volunteers – they have burn marks on their fingers from the hot glue guns.
He'll have something special to hand out to the children during the week for memorizing their Bible verse. For the New York year it was baseball caps, for aviation it was a pin that was a set of wings.
"Those kids would kill for a set of wings," Aplin joked.
"It's something I can do, and I enjoy doing it," he said. "I'm just the facilitator."
Aplin did realize early on that his specialty was building the sets, not running the entire week. He relies on a director to run the program and others to come up with music.
He doesn't mind being the one "out front," however, if that means promoting the program or being the target of the children.
"I'll stand up with a jacket and weird hat and goggles on (during the aviation theme)," he said. Another week, during a boys vs. girls contest, the winner got to hurl whipped cream at him.
"I'll stand and have them fling whipped cream on me, I don't care," he said. "If we weren't doing this, how would these children find Jesus?"
The church has put on its VBS program during a mission in Mt. Sterling, Ky., and a father and son both were baptized at the end of the week.
"If we weren't there, would that have happened?" Aplin says. "That's the part that's important to me."

Searching for Capital
A broker assesses the small-business lending market.
Last week, I wrote a post about a joint announcement from the Small Business Administration and 13 of the largest banks in the country that they had increased their small-business lending by more than $11 billion over the last year. As I noted, this number stands in stark contrast to the number these banks self-report to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, which shows that their lending has fallen by more than $2 billion.
Getting capital into the hands of small-business owners and entrepreneurs at affordable prices is a critical issue for our economic recovery. And that's why it is important, when the largest banks in our country and the S.B.A. administrator make an announcement, that we understand what it means. I am happy to report that the Financial Services Roundtable, an organization that represents those 13 big banks, provided a statement in response to my post. We've decided to share the full statement, because we feel it provides some important clarification (while also raising some additional questions). Here it is, followed by a few of my thoughts:
After reading Ami Kassar's Tuesday column ("The Big Banks Say They Are Meeting Their Lending Commitment"), we want to make sure you have information on F.D.I.C. call report data, what it shows and how it differs from the lending commitment reported by Karen Mills, U.S. S.B.A. Administrator, so this data is reported accurately.
In the conclusion of his article, Mr. Kassar wrote: "According to Ms. Mills, the banks are up by $11 billion; according to the F.D.I.C. call reports, the banks have fallen behind by more than $2 billion. We are still hoping the banks will explain what exactly they have committed to do."
There is a straightforward explanation behind the seeming contradiction Mr. Kassar cites. The lending commitment measures the increase in credit the 13 participating banks have made available. So, for example, if a bank provides a small business with a line of credit totaling $50,000, that bank is making $50,000 of credit available to the customer. If in the following year, the bank raises the customer's line of credit to $75,000, that would be an increase of $25,000 which would be reported as part of measuring success against the lending commitment referred to by Ms. Mills.
The F.D.I.C. call report numbers measure the amount of credit small-business owners are actually using. If the customer in the example above has an outstanding balance of $20,000 against their $50,000 line of credit, the F.D.I.C. calculation would reflect only $20,000. If that same customer decides in the second year to pay their balance down to $15,000, this would result in a $5,000 decrease in the F.D.I.C. reported borrowing – even though the amount of credit made available to that customer by the bank has increased $25,000. Paying down the balance is the customer's decision.
The banks participating in the lending commitment are working to make more credit available to small businesses and have made great progress in increasing new lending, as Ms. Mills reports. How much actual borrowing businesses do against their available credit is a decision made by business owners based on a number of factors, including how confident they are about the economic environment and the prospects of their business.
Just as consumers recently have been paying down their credit card balances, F.D.I.C. data shows us that small businesses are paying down their bank debt too (and not just cards and lines of credit). This is not something banks control nor should they try to influence what small-business owners do with their credit. It would be like saying to a consumer: we've increased your credit card limit so you need to increase your outstanding balance owed. Banks only determine the amount of credit they make available to small businesses, which has been increasing as reported in the lending commitment numbers. It's business owners who decide how much they actually borrow at any given time.
The F.D.I.C. call report data gives us some insight into the use of credit by small businesses. Yet it does not show new lending commitments and should be not be used as a measure of a bank's new lending to small businesses.
The Financial Services Roundtable is correct in that the F.D.I.C. numbers reflect actual monies borrowed by small businesses. These numbers tell the precise amount of loans to small businesses with a balance of $1 million or less.
Judging by the banks' statement, I believe it remains difficult to determine whether these banks have really done anything to make credit more available to the small businesses that need it. First of all, the banks' numbers still include loans to companies with revenue of as much as $20 million. With a few strokes on an excel spreadsheet, they could tell us the corresponding numbers for companies with revenue of $1 million or less.
Second, this statement confirms that the loan dollars noted in their commitment include credit card debt. That means a significant portion of the $11 billion they are bragging about comes from the millions of small businesses who use credit cards for convenience or to earn cash-back and frequent flier points — not as capital to build their businesses. The statement also makes clear that when it comes to lines of credit, small businesses have only borrowed a fraction of the money that the banks are taking credit for lending.
Given these issues, as I have previously discussed, I still believe that the F.D.I.C. call numbers are a better barometer of small-business lending. The Obama administration has talked a lot about transparency. Wouldn't it be appropriate for the S.B.A. administrator to demand clarity from the banks and share it with the small-business community? As a starting point, they could at least pull the credit card loans out of their numbers.
Ami Kassar founded MultiFunding, which is based near Philadelphia and helps small businesses find the right sources of financing for their companies.

Kim Elena Ionescu, Coffee Buyer and Sustainability Manager
Though her parents are transplants to the area, Kim grew up just down the road in Chapel Hill, NC, which makes her "at least a little bit southern." She moved to Boston to attend Tufts University, where she studied literature (in English and Spanish) and Latin American history and politics. She loved New England in the summers, which she spent working on a small organic vegetable farm in New Hampshire, but the eight-month winter got the best of her and she moved back to NC after graduation. She followed the "liberal-arts, post-graduation stereotype" perfectly by finding work at coffee shop while she tried to find direction, but in my case, coffee ended up being the direction: she landed at Counter Culture in the spring of 2004 after spending time living and harvesting coffee with a coffee-farming family in rural Nicaragua. By pure coincidence (and coffee is full of them, she has learned), this farmer, Oscar Zamora, is one of the farmers whose coffee comprises our wonderful Cafe San Ramon! She has been "lucky and thrilled" to visit Oscar and his family twice as a representative of Counter Culture Coffee, and she looks forward to seeing them again during the harvest in January.Q: What coffee are you currently drinking?
Shakisso, from South Sidama, Ethiopia. Who can resist "the gold coffee of Ethiopia?"
Q: Choose your favorite coffee and brewing method.
My coffee allegiances shift every time we roll out a new coffee or a new crop of an old favorite, but my brewing alliances stay strong with the French Press.
Q: Who at Counter Culture Coffee would you most like to arm-wrestle, and why?
Katie Vanderweide. She's much ber than I am, but we've known one another since middle school, and I think I have a chance if I make her laugh by bring up memories of our adolescent awkwardness.
Q: What is your favorite book?
I have found some great books in the selections of past Coffee People! Since I studied African and Afro-Caribbean fiction in college, I'll throw out a few of my favorites from those years to mix up our list: Bessie Head's When Rain Clouds Gather, The River Between by Ngugi Wa Thiong'o, Tsitsi Dangaremba's Nervous Conditions and No Telephone to Heaven by Michelle Cliff.
Q: What keeps you busy outside of work?
Volleyball, tennis, reading, cooking, and farmhouse adventures: living out in the woods with chickens presents a unique set of challenges.
Q: Share an interesting fact you've learned about coffee while working at Counter Culture and name the person from whom you learned it.
During my Counter Culture orientation, I listened to Cindy Chang tell a group of waitstaff at a fine dining restaurant that it takes seven years for a coffee tree to mature. I use that statistic all the time in communicating the patience and dedication required for coffee farming, because anyone who has ever tried to grow a tomato balks at the idea of a seven-year maturation period.
Q: When you were 8 years old, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A veterinarian.
Q: If you could beam yourself anywhere in the world for your lunch break, where would you go, and what would you eat?
I would have ceviche at an oceanside seafood shack in Lima, Peru. Local standards for freshness dictate that ceviche is uniquely a lunch food: restaurants buy the day's catch from the fishing docks mid-morning and Limenses believe that by evening, the fish is too old to be served as ceviche. That's dedication to freshness!
Q: Which Counter Culture Coffee customer is most likely to see you outside of work (i.e. where do you like to hang out)?
I have loved the Federal in Durham ever since it opened. If you like pork (pretty much everyone does in NC) you will not be disappointed.
Q: Kim, even before you assumed your official leadership role in Counter Culture's move toward an even more sustainable business model, you helped start initiatives—such as our commitment to biodiesel-fueled vehicles—that have reduced the company's ecological footprint. (Thank you!) Can you pinpoint the first inspiration for sustainability-focused work in your life?
In second grade, a PETA representative visited my class and gave us brochures detailing the abuses suffered by animals at the hands of the cosmetics industry, particularly (in this brochure) the Gillette company. I was stricken (wanting to be a veterinarian and all). I went home and investigated all of my family's cosmetic products, at which point I found that my father used (gasp!) Gillette deodorant. I asked him to change brands and he happily complied. His willingness to change surprised and inspired me, and has since proved both a blessing and a curse: a blessing because it taught me that I am responsible for and capable of effecting change, but a curse because sometimes I still forget that breaking habits and shifting people toward a more sustainable path isn't just matter of asking nicely!

University-Wide Programs and Faculty Forums
CET offers workshops and other programs aiming to enhance understanding of learning. Recognizing that research and teaching are inextricably intertwined and that at USC liberal and professional learning are often integrated, CET forums focus on articulating learning objectives, modes of learner-centered teaching, and appropriate measures of success. The implementation of CET's objectives relies on its fellowship programs.
Faculty Fellows
CET seeks the colleagueship of faculty members in all fields to help foster and enable a commitment to engaged learning among USC's students in all venues associated with teaching and learning. Faculty fellows mentor undergraduate fellows and teaching assistant fellows and support and assist faculty colleagues across the University.
Teaching Assistant Fellows
CET seeks the colleagueship of outstanding teaching assistants to assist all TAs from across the University in a commitment to enhanced learning in laboratories, discussion sections, and other venues related to academic success.
Undergraduate Fellows
CET seeks colleagueship with undergraduates who show leadership potential and a drive to enhance the Center's efforts in understanding how students learn best.
Be sensitive to student struggles. Students may need guidance and empathy in coping with multiple points of view, making wrong decisions, and dealing with uncertainties. Dogmatic students may need help in seeing others' point of view; indecisive students may need help in forming judgments; complacent students may been help in thinking skeptically. (P. 261)

Do you know what you need to know?
Are you getting what you want from your information systems or do all important decisions require their own ad hoc analyses and the combined efforts of a legion of employees (often disguised as, каже, a cross-functional team)?
If routine decisions require such analyses and compilations then it is likely that your computerized "information system" isn′t producing information; наместо, it might be a data processing system that keeps track of details for other purposes.
These other purposes may include legitimate and important functions like record-keeping and book-keeping, but systems designed to efficiently keep track of transactions and record events do not necessarily produce usable information for senior or even middle managers.
Во овој момент, you may be asking: "What is this guy talking about? This is nonsense! We spend $X on MIS! How could we not have the information that we need?"1
It is quite easy, всушност.
The specialized talents of system designers:
Many people involved in the design of information systems tend to focus on the systems and not the information—the desired output. Особено, system designers may not know what to know to make business decisions. Во оние случаи, and without the proper guidance, it should not be surprising that relevant facts are not readily available to decision makers.
Сега, before we go further, permit us the opportunity to define a few words for the way that we use them.
What is information?
A decision is the selection of a course of action between two or among many such alternatives. За нас, information consists of facts that could cause a decision to change, јас, relevant facts. If your information system was not designed with your decisions in mind, it is quite possible that those terabytes and terabytes of details in storage are not information; they don't inform your decisions.
Значи, if the sole purpose of your information system is to inform decisions, then the first design question should be: what types of decisions do we make and what facts do we need to make them?2
The second question to ask should be: what is the best level of precision?
More precision allows finer or truer estimates of the costs and benefits of particular alternatives and usually permits the possibility of selecting a better—say, more profitable—alternative.3
Сепак, while more precise information leads to "better" decisions, more precision may be uneconomical because of the associated increased processing and system costs.4 5
Значи–for the purposes of this discussion–if we ignore incentive effects, then optimal information system design trades off the relatively certain and immediate additional cost associated with collecting and aggregrating more precise information with the, expected but uncertain future benefits of making "подобро" or more profitable decisions.6
Getting back to our problem, let's say that you have already spent a bundle of money on information systems, but you still don't have what you or your employees need to make routine decisions.
What can you do?
Several alternatives may be available, and they are substantially cheaper to implement than a new design. These alternatives include: (1) building permanent links to integrate multiple existing databases; (2) keeping track of new fields within existing databases or a creating a special-purpose database and integrating it with existing ones; или (3) something as simple as a few training sessions and a reorientation of your focus to what may already exist but may be hidden under boxes of useless reports.
We discuss these three possible solutions below and mention possible inefficiencies created by their absence.
Build permanent links to integrate existing databases:
We've know many highly-paid managers and analysts who spend a substantial amount of their time and effort combining and periodically recombining various databases because (substantially cheaper) programmers aren't available to develop and automate permanent links once and for all.
If your firm has multiple information systems, especially if they were purchased from outside vendors, there is a good chance that a substantial number of your expensive employees spend a good portion of their time on this integration and report generation.
Create and Integrate New Add-on Databases:
We've also known a number of folks who manually create and update needed databases in spreadsheets. These databases would usually appear as additional fields if they were appended to official databases.
The innovative workers who create and maintain these files are likely to be conscientious and hard-working and may devote a substantial portion of their time working to overcome the shortcomings of the existing information system. They are doing their jobs but not very efficiently.
Because these employees often view this information that they personally gathered as their own private information (and job security), one needs to be careful when determining how such information should be integrated into official systems.
Provide Training and Reorientation (regarding relevant factors):
If managers consider irrelevant factors or ignore relevant ones when making decisions, it is more likely that sub-optimal decisions will be made.
We mention training because we have found it unusual for managers to recognize the need for such a solution. Всушност, we have faced several situations where firms have identified symptoms of poor decision-making and have wished to treat those symptoms rather than the underlying problem.
In these cases we have been ask to design new systems or evaluate potential vendor systems. Usually the relevant information already existed but was not easily found or was not available in a readily-understood format or guidance was needed to identify the relevant facts.
What can we do for you?
Here is an example. In one case, we were asked by a natural resources commodity producer to design a new activity-based costing (ABC) system.
Being curious, ние треба: why do you want a new cost system?
The firm's management replied that they wanted to make better decisions about how to get, process, and sell the product.
Being pedantic, we made sure to distinguish between (1) cost reporting and (2) cost behavior. The ABC system would have provided different reported costs but necessarily additional relevant costs for the decisions of interest. To determine relevant costs, one needs to understand cost behavior and how it changes as alternatives change. 7
We explained to our client that despite claims to the contrary, ABC systems rarely identify additional marginal cost (relevant costs for them), especially for firms in their industry that faced high, Тврда (and sunk) acquisition costs and a high proportion of fixed-to-variable processing costs.
We proceeded to show how all the relevant facts were already available but needed to be reorganized, јас, aggregated, based upon the way tactical decisions could be made in the field. We were then able to advise the optimal way to exploit the resource at one site, including how to deal with variations in inherent quality.
