According to the latest numbers from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Americans are hard at work. At last count, the total U.S. unemployment rate stood at the low seasonally adjusted rate of 4.5%, unchanged from November and down from 4.9% at this time in 2005. Throughout 2006, the U.S. economy fostered job growth, although the numbers fell just slightly below the long-term monthly average of 130,000 new jobs per month, or 1.6 million new jobs per year, experienced since 1989.
In addition, the U.S. construction put-in-place total is predicted to remain healthy. Reed Construction Data, Norcross, Ga., forecasts generous year-over-year increases of more than 4% into 2008. McGraw-Hill Construction is more modest with its 2007 prediction, a slight -1% decline. What this means for both the electrical contracting and engineering fields is there should be plenty of projects in 2007. The bad news is firms may have difficulty finding qualified workers or, if they do, then they'll have to offer higher salaries and better benefits to remain competitive. The imminent retirement of the baby-boomers, an increase in manufacturing jobs for the first time in years, rumors of offshoring design services, and stricter immigration laws may all cause a labor shortage that will begin in 2007 and, ironically, continue as long as the construction industry thrives.
Skilled labor shortage. Among the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' three major subcategories — construction, services, and manufacturing — year-over-year employment growth for construction was the strongest (Map below). After a few tough years in the negative, manufacturing has remained about even at 0%, ironically becoming a source of competition for young workers who might otherwise make a career in the construction field.
Below its peak level of 4.8% in both April 2005 and January 2006, construction came in at a 3% rate in July 2006. Projections show that by the year 2014, the national need for electrical workers will increase to more than 734,000 — more than 78,000 currently employed in the field. Construction employment boasts 7,455,000 jobs, losing 3,000 jobs in December but registering a 0.5% increase over December 2005. Industry analysis surmises that the drop is due to the slowdown in the residential market, which lost 16,000 jobs in December and 100,000 for the year — a rate of -3% for 2006. What keeps the industry healthy, however, is that the non-residential markets were able to add 7,600 jobs in December and 114,000 through 2006, and heavy and civil engineering construction added 5,700 jobs in December and 25,000 throughout 2006, for a rate of 2.6%.
Unemployment in construction, not seasonally adjusted, dropped from 813,000, an 8.2% rate, in December 2005 to 725,000, a rate of 6.9%, for December 2006 — the lowest total rate for December since 2000. Jim Haughey, Ph.D., chief economist for Reed Construction Data, says the majority of the 700,000-plus unemployed workers comes from the slow residential market. In its 2007 forecast, Reed predicts 120,000 new construction jobs in 2007, which is 30,000 fewer than in 2006.
However, there will be fewer candidates vying for those jobs, as the size of the 20- to 24-year-old male group continues to decline slowly throughout 2007, reduced by stronger immigration enforcement and hiring by manufacturers and motor carriers.
"There will be a skilled labor shortage," Haughey says. "Wage rate gains have lagged the economy in non-residential and heavy construction markets but will accelerate in 2007. This will spread to non-union as well."
Some specialized skills, such as estimating, designing, wiring, and heating and ventilation, may be transferable from the home-building sector to non-residential projects, but not all firms have the labor power needed to take on the larger projects. "Not all subcontractors have the size or scale to work commercial projects when residential projects dry up," says Ken Simonson, chief economist for Association of General Contractors, Arlington, Va. "Most non-residential construction people say the labor market is tight. Contractors may have trouble getting bids from subs, especially in busy markets and areas. The subs could be calling the shots."
New recruits. "My biggest problem is the baby-boomer population," says Richard Dressel, business manager for IBEW Local 164 in Paramus, N.J., admitting 2007 and beyond may not be worry-free. "We're going to lose about 500 qualified journeymen electricians in the next five to six years, and they're hard to replace," he says. "You have to go through recruitment."
To reach a younger audience, IBEW Local 164 has aligned itself with the high school community in neighboring counties. It has several recruiters on staff promoting the possible benefits of alternatives to college.
In this day and age, that can be a difficult point to get across. "Having been a member of the workforce investment board in Bergen County, I got to see that every one of these school superintendents — no matter where they are in the country — love to go back to the PTA and say '89% to 92% of our high school graduating class is going on to higher education.' But then in two years, 50% is back. We are a distinct alternative to that. These young people make a very good paycheck, and they're getting an education that they can't get anywhere else."
The Local also holds open enrollment for applications every Friday morning. Applicants are encouraged to apply by bringing in a copy of a diploma or GED; a transcript showing one year of algebra successfully completed, as per the Department of Labor regulations; and a copy of a driver's license or birth certificate. A drug and physical also are required.
"It's somewhat of a lengthy process," says Dressel, noting that around 200 individuals apply every quarter.
Engineering enrollment. A leading indicator for non-residential construction, employment in architectural and engineering services rose 4,600 in December and 65,000 throughout 2006 for a rate of 4.9%. While the labor pool for the electrical engineering field may remain healthy in 2007, some engineering programs are quickly running short on students. Some industry experts say it's only a matter of time before the decline in engineering programs hits the real world (click here to see Table 1 and Table 2). Rumors of jobs being offshored, as well as the perception that engineering is difficult or uninteresting, have discouraged students from entering programs. Tighter requirements for visas and more investment in engineering programs abroad also have cut into foreign student enrollment in American schools.
"The decline is real overall," says Richard W. Heckel, Ph.D., founder and technical director, Engineering Trends, Houghton, Mich. Heckel cites numbers from the Engineering Workforce Commission (EWC) regarding full-time undergraduate enrollment for electrical engineering. The last peak was in fall 2002 with 62,448 students. "From that point on, there was a slight drop of about 1,000, and then about another half-thousand," Heckel says. "Then, in fall of '05 it was 55,969. From '04 to '05, there was a big drop — almost 6,000 enrollment."
Freshmen enrollment in electrical engineering was at its peak with 12,883 in fall 2000. By fall 2005, the number of freshmen enrolled in electrical engineering programs had fallen to 10,529. However, undergraduate program enrollment always rises and falls in cycles. "It depends on the students' perception," Heckel says. "Many of the students who study engineering in this country do it in terms of personal financial reward. Only if it looks like personal financial reward will they pick engineering. If they think that times are tough for engineers, then they will go elsewhere. If they perceive that biology and the social sciences — the qualitative fields — are more interesting, and that the money in engineering isn't going to be there, they pick the ones that they'll have the fun with."
Another negative impact on the perception of the number of engineering jobs in the United States is the rumors surrounding offshoring. Regardless of the number of actual jobs sent overseas, when the media reports on it, the number of enrollments in engineering continues to decline, says Heckel. "Every time that comes up, the parents of high school students in their sophomore and junior years will look at this and ask, 'Should I recommend engineering to my son or my daughter?'" he says. "A lot of these stories come out looking like there aren't going to be any more jobs for U.S.-trained engineers. That's not the case, but a lot of times the stories come out looking like that. This is going to keep hanging on these people trying to make these decisions of whether they're going to study engineering. When people keep getting bombarded with information about offshoring, they hear about plants closing, and we have very little that shows up in the news as new engineering achievements these days. There's no counterbalance to these offshoring rumors. What's going to have an impact as well is whether U.S. companies are going to go on campus and try to hire this upcoming graduating class."
Company-sponsored training. Not all engineering training programs are seeing declines in enrollment, however. "I definitely see some movement in the electric utility industry to bring young engineers up to speed," says Keith Stanek, professor, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Missouri-Rolla (UMR), Rolla, Mo. "Just from that, I can imagine that these companies must be adding a lot of new people that they feel require training."
Stanek's distance and continuing education program at UMR, in conjunction with Cooper Power Systems, provides electrical power engineering courses for engineers and technicians needing a refresher course in electrical engineering. Currently, 16 workshops are scheduled for 2007, which already outnumbers the workshops given during 2006. "I think we did 13 workshops this year," Stanek says. "If we keep getting calls from companies that want workshops, we may wind up doing twice as many next year as we did this year."
On average, there are 20 students to a workshop, but sometimes class size can climb to as high as 30 or 35 participants. The program offers two types of workshops: open registration and company-sponsored. "We've already gotten a dozen company-sponsored workshops for next year," Stanek says. "We've never really had that many workshops scheduled for the following year before the year even began. There's definitely a different climate for training young engineers in the utility industry than there's been in the last couple of years. I worried about the program a couple of years ago, but we had a good year in 2006, and 2007 looks like it's going to be really outstanding."
Building bridges. In the not-too-distant future, overcoming worker shortages may not be a matter of hiring more warm bodies. With roots in the automotive and aerospace industries, Building Information Management (BIM) — the creation and use of coordinated, internally consistent, computable information about a building project in design and construction — may be able to help electrical engineering and contracting firms cut lead times and increase efficiency to make up for any labor shortfall. During the housing industry's labor and materials crunch, many firms turned to technology to streamline their processes. They discovered that including other collaborators, such as the owner, builders, and suppliers, sped up lead time and increased efficiency. In addition, those shifting to a "paperless" office decreased turnaround time.
Traditionally, the separate nature of the construction industry — several contractors sharing a project — has discouraged the adoption of BIM processes. However, recent breakthroughs in 3-D technology and a more collaborate environment fostered in many firms have shown that BIM's virtual design may be the future of construction.
"The workflow involves a lot of people who used to have problems getting the information they need," says Jonathan Knowles, global collaboration strategist for Autodesk Collaboration Solutions, San Rafael, Calif. "The reality is that there are a lot more people who can take advantage of this if we use the BIM."
Knowles' firm is currently concentrating on open-source technologies that make information — more than just the picture of the design but also the project schedules, payment plans, and materials lists, etc. — more accessible to all parties in the process, including what he refers to as "downstream users," those not traditionally in the information loop, particularly at the design and planning stages.
The construction industry is notorious for being resistant to sharing information and also to adopting new technologies, says Knowles. The shift from the drafting board to the computer didn't happen until the 1980s.
Currently, only 28% of architectural firms have ever used virtual design/BIM in the design of a construction project, according to a recent survey from The American Institute of Architects (AIA). Although larger firms are more likely to have used BIM, only 58% of firms with annual billings of $5 million or more, compared with 20% for firms with billings under $1 million, and 26% for firms with billings between $1 million and $5 million, have used BIM. Only a third of firms plan to increase their use of virtual design in 2007.
Proponents of the 3-D (simultaneous) process say that the traditional, or sequential, process takes too much time, doesn't engage all team members, is prone to errors and omissions, and causes uneven performance metrics. "You can't be off by a bit when you're building a building," says Knowles.
A few paradigm shifts in the construction industry must take place before the 3-D process may be implemented, says Scott Simpson, FAIA, CEO and president, The Stubbins Associates, Cambridge, Mass. The staff engagement must move from silos to teams, which then must work in 3-D in cyberspace instead of on paper. In addition, there will be shared risk management and an attitude of cooperation instead of contention. Architects, designers, and builders will be working in a 3-D environment where objects take the place of lines and arcs.
This "brave new world," according to Simpson, will comprise a total BIM environment, with early engagement of subcontractors and suppliers, the elimination of bidding, no more shop drawings or RFIs, no cost escalation or punchlists, and online payment of requisitions.
It is these changes that make BIM requirements seem prohibitive to a number of firms. In answer to the AIA survey question of when they believe virtual design will become de rigueur for building design, less than half answered that it will happen within the next five years, and only an additional 41% predict it will happen within five to 10 years. When asked to give the greatest obstacle to increased use of virtual design, almost a third cited that clients don't require it and aren't willing to pay for it. A quarter of firms reported that the industry isn't ready for it yet and that integration is too difficult. Other reasons cited for not adopting BIM are that the architects aren't trained to use it effectively (17%), too expensive to implement (13%), and rewards don't match the risk (6%).
But to combat a labor shortage, BIM may be the perfect solution. The 3-D model is very specific to construction. It bridges gaps in locations, culture, and expertise. According to Knowles, 3-D comprises the parameters, functions, elements, geometry, materials, and surfaces that make up a visual lexicon, syntax, vocabulary, and expression that can communicate from and function without words. Team members can work on the same project from across the desk, state, city, or world.
"3-D provides a method by which we can universally communicate," Knowles says. "It's the way we think."

Richard Dressel, business manager for IBEW Local 164 in Paramus, N.J., is looking forward to the amount of work his Local has on its plate this year. Meadowlands, a $1.3-billion mixed-use complex, which will include office and retail space, as well as a new New York Giants stadium are just a few of many projects getting started in the New Jersey area.
According to Dressel, contractors shouldn't be too concerned about finding enough qualified workers for these projects. "We've been faced with this in the past, and we've been able to handle it," Dressel says. "When it starts getting real busy, we have a built-in labor pool."
To fill the open jobs, the IBEW uses what it calls "travelers," who are union members who travel from their home Locals to sign up on the "out-of-work" list in areas where jobs are more plentiful. "The last time, about five years ago, besides our own membership we had 2,000 travelers working in our jurisdiction," Dressel says. "The system works."
The benefits for traveling workers are reciprocated back to the their home Locals, so there's no break in coverage for health care, pension, or even an annuity plan. "It all goes directly back after we collect it here," Dressel explains. "It's very advantageous for that traveling member."
Hoping to attract workers who may not want to stick strictly with electrical work, Dressel's Local also runs a teledata division, which is actually the largest in the country for construction telecommunications work. Here, workers learn how to handle the "moves, adds, and changes," that occur with data and phone after the building has been constructed. Often, these skills are transferable from project to project, whether in housing or non-residential markets. Dressel's Local has more than 400 signatory contractors, 180 of which are teledata contractors.
Sidebar: Foreign Exchange
The United States isn't the only country dealing with a shortage of electricians and electrical engineers. Industrialized nations across the globe are gearing up for shortfalls as the age of skilled workers increases. Germany, Austria, Belgium, Finland, and the United Kingdom have all reported a lack of skilled electricians, with an estimated 37,000 vacancies in the United Kingdom alone. Industry experts in Canada predict that most of that country's electricians will retire within the next 10 years. In Australia, the number of skilled tradespeople has become so small that it is now the No. 1 obstacle to business investment, says a recent survey by the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
Enrollment in U.S. schools for engineering as a whole, not just undergraduates, is on the decline. The number of Ph.D.s awarded to U.S. citizens this year is about the same as it was four decades ago, while the population has grown by a third. "U.S. citizens have shown to be not very much interested in graduate education," says Richard W. Heckel, founder, Engineering Trends, Houghton, Mich.
The drop in enrollment in U.S. higher education may also be traced to the decline in the number of foreign nationals interested in U.S. graduate programs. "The biggest effect is through the foreign national because that was the biggest group in the engineering colleges. The engineering colleges have grown research wise, significantly through graduate programs that brought in foreign nationals both at the Master's and the doctorate level." The concern will be if this trend continues.

"I just wanted to write to say thank you. I have been purchasing products from your Web site for quite a while, namely rice bran, seaweed powders, camellia oil, dead sea salts and most recently, shea butter. I have very sensitive skin, and there aren't many products on the market that I don't develop a nasty rash from. I'm a research chemist, and many ingredients in mass market products are petrochemically derived. Although the by products may be trace, it is still enough to agitate my skin. It is also important for me to select products that do not have a vile effect on the environment. I ran an online search for rice bran to use as a gentle face wash and stumbled across FNWL. I was absolutely delighted with the delicate cleansing and calming effect it had on my face. Most recently, the shea butter I purchased has completely healed the eczema on my knees. I wanted to say thank you. Your product quality and prices are absolutely superb. "

ATLANTA (Reuters) - A small Georgia town on Monday passed a law requiring the head of each household to own a gun as a way to keep crime down.
The ordinance, approved unanimously by the City Council in Nelson, is symbolic, however, because there is no penalty for violating it, according to Councilman Duane Cronic, who introduced the measure last month.
It serves as an expression of support for gun rights and sends a message to would-be criminals, Cronic said.
The measure was passed amid the debate over gun laws in the United States following the December shooting rampage in which a gunman killed 26 people at a Connecticut elementary school.
The Nelson ordinance exempts convicted felons, residents with physical and mental disabilities and those who do not believe in owning firearms, Cronic said.
Crime in Nelson, which has only one police officer, consists mainly of petty theft, Cronic said. Some 1,300 people live in the town, about 50 miles north of Atlanta.
Last month similar proposed gun ordinances were rejected in the small towns of Byron and Sabbatus in Maine.

Star Wars museum coming to Chicago
2014-06-28 16:00
Chicago — The addition of
Star Wars
creator George Lucas' museum of art and movie memorabilia to Chicago will give the city a museum campus as impressive as the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, DC, Mayor Rahm Emanuel said on Wednesday.
Lucas announced a day earlier that he had picked Chicago for his museum. The Lucas Museum of Narrative Art will be within walking distance of the Field Museum of Natural History, the Adler Planetarium and the Shedd Aquarium along Lake Michigan.
"You have the ability to look into the past, the present and into the future," Emanuel told reporters after Wednesday's City Council meeting.
Lucas' selection of Chicago over Los Angeles and San Francisco is considered a major coup for Emanuel, who aggressively made his city's case for the project. On Wednesday, Emanuel said the Lucas museum will mean 1,500 construction jobs and as many as 500 permanent jobs. He said it will also be a major tourist attraction will generate millions of dollars in tax revenues for the city.
One potential problem is a possible lawsuit from those who say the project violates the city's lakefront protection ordinance. But the mayor said, "We feel very comfortable from a legal perspective where we are," explaining that the Lucas project will be part of an existing museum campus.
Emanuel also said the Lucas museum makes economic sense for the city, which would lease the land to the museum for $1 a year.
"Our contribution is two parking lots," he said. "The contribution to build the museum? George Lucas."

NEWPORT – Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island is the designated beneficiary of BankNewport's new boat-loan program launched this month that is aimed to help build the SSV Oliver Hazard Perry which seeks to be Rhode Island's education-at-sea tall ship.
Through Dec. 31, for each customer boat loan of $100,000 or more originated at BankNewport, the bank will donate $250 to the nonprofit organization. A $100 donation will be made for each loan less than $100,000.
"BankNewport is proud of its long partnership with the Oliver Hazard Perry Rhode Island organization," said Leland R. Merrill Jr., executive vice president, commercial lending. "We commend their unwavering commitment to construct this sailing vessel, a significant economic development, educational, and cultural benefit for Newport and the state."

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Rockford Mayor Larry Morrissey will face at least two challengers this spring. Today, Republican Michael Kleen tells us that he's throwing his hat into the race.
"There's going to be two main issues in this race, the economy and crime. Now, Rockford is the number one city in Illinois for violent crime per capita, and something needs to be done about that. And I don't think the present administration is doing anything," said Republican Mayoral Candidate Michael Kleen.
Kleen is just 31 years old, slightly younger than Mayor Morrissey when he first ran for office. He owns Black Oak Media; a desktop publishing business based in the Forest City and ran for county board in the Republican primary this spring. Even though he is a political newcomer, he says he's ready for the challenge and will make public safety will be a major part of his campaign.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Five student-athletes from the MIT men's and women's track & field and cross country teams were named to the Capital One Academic All-District One team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) on Thursday. Senior Stephen Serene (Washington, D.C.), junior Kyle Hannon (Park Ridge, Ill.) and sophomore Tyler Singer-Clark (Falmouth, Mass.) were honored on the men's side while senior Portia Jones (Queens, N.Y.) and junior Lauren Kuntz (Pittsburgh, Pa.) landed on the women's squad.
All five honorees are now eligible for selection to the Academic All-America team, which will be announced next month. Both Hannon and Jones garnered Academic All-America honors last year, with Jones tabbed to the second team and Hannon to the third.
Hannon, Serene, Jones and Kuntz all recently competed at the NCAA Division III championship, with Jones earning the 17th All-America honors of her outstanding career, with an eighth-place finish in the 4x400 relay. Jones is a four-time New England Track Athlete of the Year and the 2012 New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Track Athlete of the Year. She holds the MIT record in 11 different events and was the national runner-up in the 100-meter hurdles last year.
Kuntz received the NCAA Elite 89 award at the 2012 Division III indoor championship, given to the student-athlete with the highest GPA at the championship site. She is a two-time All-America performer in the pole vault and has won the event at the NEWMAC championship twice.
Hannon was also the recipient of the Elite 89 award at this year's indoor championship, the second straight year he has received this honor. Hannon was an All-American in the distance medley relay at the 2011 and 2012 Division III indoor championship and was the NEWMAC champion in the 1500m this spring. He has also been named MIT's Kispert Award winner, as the top male scholar athlete, two years in a row.
Serene finished just outside of the All-America level in the 3000 meter steeplechase last weekend, placing ninth in the event. He has received All-New England honors 10 times in his career, eight in track & field and twice in cross country. He has also been an all-conference performer twice in track & field and twice in cross country.
Just a sophomore, Singer-Clark collected his first two All-American accolades at this year's indoor national meet in the distance medley relay and 4x400 meter relay. He won the New England title in three events this year and is a 12-time all-region performer.
Tech's three honorees on the men's side was the highest total in the region and the second best in Division III. Fellow NEWMAC institution, WPI, also had five student-athletes recognized, three women and two men. The Academic All-America teams will be selected by the CoSIDA members and announced on June 19. MIT is the all-time Division III leader in Academic All-Americans with 174. The men's track and field/cross country teams have accounted for 16 while the women have had 12 recipients.

DEDHAM, MA-Junior Linee Mello-Frost (New Bedford, MA/New Bedford HS) turned in the best outing for the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth's track and field team on the first day of competition at the Open New England Track and Field Championships at Northeastern's Solomon Track Friday.
Mello-Frost finished eighth in the 100 meter hurdle trials in 15.39 seconds and qualified for Saturday's finals.
Sophomore Hymlaire Lamisere (Newton, MA/Newton North HS/Iona) ran the 10th fastest time in the 100 meter dash, 11.32 seconds, and finished the 200 meter dash in 23.13 seconds, but did not qualify for the finals. Junior Nick Santoro (Shrewsbury, MA/St. John's HS) finished 10,000 meters in 32.57 seconds and did not place.
"It was nice to see Linee make the finals outdoors," said UMass Dartmouth Head Coach Steve Gardiner. "This is the first time that Linee has been able to make the finals in this meet. She's had a great year, and this is a nice accomplishment for her. Hymlaire didn't run his fastest time of the year, but he was running into a head wind. Nick was running well for the first four miles of his race, but he came up with a pain in his side that pretty much derailed him."
Mello-Frost and the 4 x 100 meter relay team will compete when the meet concludes Saturday.

[Look for the podcast play button below.]
I'm all a flutter, sex fans. I feel like the most popular boy in school just asked me to the prom. So ok, maybe that's a bit of an exaggeration. It's more like the most popular boy in school just told me he wants to bugger me senseless. No, wait a minute; this isn't coming out precisely as I hoped. Let's just say that I'm thrilled to overflowing to have today's guest join me for this SEX WISDOM podcast.
As you know, this series is all about talking with people who are changing the way we look at our sexual selves. And no one in this series so far has exceeded the impact of today's guest on that discourse. I have the honor of welcoming psychologist, Christopher Ryan, coauthor of Sex At Dawn; The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality.
I confess; this book simply blew me away. And that's pretty hard to do considering I'm such a jaded old queen. But honestly, I can't remember being so impacted by anything I've read on the topic of human sexuality in like…evah! Sex At Dawn is nothing short of revolutionary. Despite this being a scholarly work, Christopher and his wife, Cacilda Jethá, have gone out of their way to make their presentation completely accessible even to a layman. There is nothing pretentious about it; the book is full of humor and fascinating antidotes. But I can assure you that it will reshape how you look at your own sexuality.
Christopher and I discuss:
- The book tour and the media's response;
- The absence of a prescriptive element in the book;
- Humans, extremely libidinous apes;
- Our failure to question the default human sexual premise — long-term and sexually exclusive;
- Ingrained behavior not the same as human nature;
- Agriculture not the advance it's cracked up to be;
- Prehistory is 95% of the human experience;
- The remnant hunter and gatherer societies;
- Classical evolutionary theory is contaminated with Victorian assumptions;
- The role of sex in hunter and gatherer societies;
- Historical reports of first contact with indigenous peoples.
Christopher invites you learn more about Sex At Dawn by visiting their site HERE! Look for him on Facebook HERE! And enjoy his twitter feed HERE!
(For a little icing on this already marvelous cake, enjoy the slideshow below.)

Senior wide receiver A.J. Claycomb (Medina/Medina) caught two touchdown passes against Otterbein. Claycomb missed the entire 2010 season with an injury and it was the first TD pass he caught since getting two against Marietta on Nov. 14, 2009. The eight catch performance brought him to 100 for his career that has spanned 38 total games.
Junior running back Jeremy Murray (Martins Ferry/Martins Ferry) bounced back from an injury at Capital to run for 122 yards on 23 carries with two touchdowns last week. It was his seventh 100-yard rushing performance of the season and 14th of his career. He is the OAC's leading rusher with 1,093 yards. In 22 career games, Murray has 2,709 yards on 483 attempts with 35 TD's. He is in fifth on the school's all-time rushing list and is 584 yards behind fourth place spot of Russ Kring (3,295 yds. 1983-84, 86-87).
Much is made of the size of Mount Union's football roster but it was depth of that roster that was the story this past Saturday. Starting quarterback Neal Seaman (Louisville/Louisville) went down with an injury in the first series of the game and backup Matt Piloto (Rotonda West, Fla./Lemon Bay) also suffered a minor injury in the second series and freshman Kevin Burke (Westlake/St. Edward) entered for a series. Piloto, who has rotated in under center every game this season, returned the next series and went on to throw for three touchdowns as part of a 16-of-22, 223-yard passing performance. Two of his touchdowns were caught by senior A.J. Claycomb (Medina/Medina), who stepped up for injured junior receiver Jasper Collins (Geneva, N.Y./Geneva). For Claycomb, who missed all of last season with an injury, he had five catches for 88 yards and the touchdowns were his first since 2009.
Seniors Chris Favazzo (Blacklick/Columbus St. Charles) and Alex Ferrara (Independence/Walsh Jesuit) along with junior Alex Nicholls (Galion/Galion) each had interceptions for Mount Union last week. Favazzo was the 12th different Raider to have an interception as the defense has 19 on the season. The Raiders also forced a fumble that gives them a plus-20 turnover ratio on the season.
PURPLE RAIDERS IN THE PROs
Wide receiver Pierre Garcon is in his fourth season as a member of the Indianapolis Colts and had seven catches for 66 yards receiving in their 27-10 loss to the Tennessee Titans. In his rookie season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, Cecil Shorts III was inactive last week. Two Raiders in the NFL coaching ranks are Dom Capers, the defensive coordinator of Green Bay Packers and Nick Sirianni as the offensive quality control coach of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Mount Union replaced its 10-year old AstroPlay surface with a new FieldTurf playing surface this past summer. Fans will notice that the football and soccer lines are permanent with two tones of alternating green and black end zones. The black also carries over to new Nike home purple jerseys that the Raiders will wear this season. Mount Union's newest teams -- men's and women's lacrosse will start varsity play in the spring of 2013 and their lines will be painted onto the field. New turf was put in the South end zone which moved the students and band to the North end leading to Mount Union warming up on North side and entering the stadium from the Northwest corner of stadium.

Why does «Swiss Made» stand for quality workmanship from Zeitwinkel- Switzerland?
The specification «Swiss Made» for watches and mechanisms has a clear legal definition. Although it designates the origin of a watch, «Swiss Made" stands primarily for quality. Which is totally legitimate, after all, products from the Jura region of Switzerland are made in the tradition of many generations of inventive and meticulous watchmaking masters.
However, if you take a closer look at the text of the law, you will unfortunately find that «Swiss Made» primarily ensures that the movement and the watch have been assembled in Switzerland. Furthermore, the law requires only that at least 50% of the value of the components in the movement is created in Switzerland. To explain it in simplest terms: The lower the value of the components purchased outside of Switzerland, the easier it is to fulfill the requirements for «Swiss Made» afterwards.
A couple of manufacturers of components and watches refuse to resort to lower-cost manufacturing e.g. manufacturing in Asia where the products are only then finished in Switzerland. Zeitwinkel decided from the start to produce real «Swiss Made» watches.
All the components that form part of a Zeitwinkel watch are manufactured in Switzerland with a few exceptions that are manufactured in the traditional watchmaking regions in southern Germany. There we found, for example, a company with whom we have developed a manufacturing process for our cases using the interplay between polished and matte surfaces. The movements as well as the watches themselves are assembled, tested, and decorated exclusively by experienced watchmakers in the Jura region of Switzerland.
Only with close integration and long-term partnerships with specialized suppliers in the region are we able to ensure that our dedicated standard of quality is satisfied for every single component in every single production step. We believe that this philosophy has a significant impact on the quality of our watches.
We could easily save a few Francs but by uncompromisingly sticking to our principles of quality, we can guarantee that with every Zeitwinkel watch you are wearing a piece of Switzerland on your wrist.

Fentons' sweet celebration
Surely you remember your first Fentons Creamery sundae. It arrived at the table a glorious mess — rivers of hot fudge cascading down the sides of the glass, scoops of ice cream so large they looked like they might topple unless you dug in right away.
You thought perhaps a new, overly eager fountain employee had made this creation by mistake. Nope. Excess is a delicious hallmark of Fentons, now marking its 120th year delighting legions of ice cream lovers with its Black and Tans, Black and Whites and Fudgeannas.
On July 20, the Oakland creamery will celebrate the occasion with a big outdoor ice cream social. From noon to 3 p.m., you can get a free scoop of ice cream or buy a junior size Black-and-Tan sundae for the anniversary price of $1.20. There also will be 4-H animals, retro tunes, crafts, barbecue and a raffle.
Founded in 1894 by E.S. Fenton at 41st and Howe avenues, Fentons came up with the inspired ideas for the now-legendary and often-imitated Toasted Almond and Swiss Milk Chocolate flavors of ice cream. (As for Rocky Road, well, both Fentons and Dreyer's claim credit. So one thing's for sure: That popular flavor has its roots in Oakland.)
Fentons remains a locally owned operation, now run by the Whiddens, a multigeneration Oakland family. The July 20 celebration will be held at 4226 Piedmont Ave., Oakland. 510-658-7000; www.fentons creamery.com.

Ahead of the premiere of its telepic "Flowers in the Attic," Lifetime has announced plans for a sequel. The followup will be based on the second book in the V.C. Andrews series, "Petals in the Wind."
The announcement was made Thursday just before the network's panel to promote "Flowers in the Attic" during the Television Critics Assn. press tour in Pasadena. Kayla Alpert, who adapted the controversial novel for Lifetime, is penning the sequel. The story will pick up 10 years after "Attic" ends.
"I will just say it is a very juicy compelling revenge drama," she said. Plans by Lifetime to develop the remaining books in the series are still unclear. Maybe if enough people tune in to "Attic," which will be shown Jan. 18 at 8 p.m. PST, they'd be more inclined.
Buzz for the newest adaptation (there was a 1987 film that's available on Netflix) has been building since the project was greenlighted by Lifetime earlier this summer -- as one might expect. The preteen incest novel has amassed quite the following since its release in 1979, and has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, Robert Sharenow, Lifetime's executive vice president and general manager, noted ahead of the panel.
The lurid story centers on siblings confined in an attic by their conspiring grandmother and mother. Its subject of incest between a brother and a sister, who in the TV film are played by Mason Dye and "Mad Men's" Kiernan Shipka, led to it being banned in some areas.
"There was a lot of condensing we had to do," Alpert said. "Even though it takes place over the course of two years, we had to pick and choose our moments." Though Alpert said she stayed as true to the book as possible -- and more than the previous adaptation -- additions were made "in the spirit of making it dramatic." The relationship between the grandmother (Ellen Bursytn) and her daughter, the mother of the imprisoned children (Heather Graham), was fleshed out.
"V.C. Andrews can describe what people are going through," Alpert said. "We had to dramatize that and not every scene is that dramatic."

While the Hubble space telescope has provided the world with some of the most amazing images ever taken of the very edge of our universe, it has now revealed details of something much closer. The newest images, set to appear in the March issue of the Astronomical Journal, are of everybody's favorite ex-planet—now dwarf planet—Pluto. The images reveal an "icy and dark molasses-colored, mottled world that is undergoing seasonal changes in its surface color and brightness."
The changes in color are believed to be the result of seasonal variations where surface ice sublimes from one pole and migrates to the other. This transformation occurred over a short, two-year period from 2000 to 2002—that's less than one percent of the total orbital period/seasonal cycle of Pluto. These photos are the sharpest and clearest pictures taken of the planet to date, and will remain so until NASA's New Horizons spacecraft closes within six months of travel time to this distant object—something that won't occur until 2015.

Nissan Rogue and Amazon team up for #GiantLocker
For Nissan, "Innovation that excites" is not just a tag line; they really, truly, categorically mean it. From their cars to their brand experiences, Nissan innovation is about bringing excitement to your everyday. One way they do this is by creating communications that spill from the printed page, or viewers' screens, into the real world. Like teaming with Amazon to showcase a car on its website and bringing the experience to them in a way that captures people's interest and imagination.
Last year, when they needed a big introduction for the Versa Note, they placed it on Amazon.com and changed the way consumers could shop for a car. And when a photo of them delivering one Versa Note in a giant Amazon box was posted to reddit, the story spread around the world to 38 countries across five continents, all asking the question, "What's in the box?"
This spring, when they put the all-new Nissan Rogue on Amazon.com, they knew that they had to not only innovate once again, but also get people wondering how they would capture their interest and imaginations this time. So they teamed up with Amazon once again to create a giant Amazon locker, one large enough to hold a Nissan Rogue!
That's why today, they've put this giant locker in the heart of San Francisco. As people pass by and tweet, comment, or post photos about the locker using the hashtag #GiantLocker, they'll earn a code to open one of the doors on the locker to win one of a variety of prizes. One lucky participant will get the surprise of a lifetime when his/her code opens the giant door, and they win a new Nissan Rogue.
You can follow the giant locker on Facebook, and by searching the hashtag #GiantLocker on Twitter and Instagram.

5 Tips To Creating A Memorable Welcome EmailCarly Brantz
Ah the trusted "Welcome" email! This simple message is one of the most important, yet overlooked, emails that you can ever send. Remember the old adage, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression?" It's never been more true than with welcome emails. Your welcome email sets the tone for every subsequent email that you deliver to your subscriber…so make it a good one!
Here are 5 tips to help make sure your welcome email is memorable and effective.
Tip #1 – Make it personal. Establish a connection with your subscriber early by addressing them by name. During your sign up process, you've probably asked for first name, last name, and email address – since you have the information on file – use it! Some companies opt to address their users by username instead, but, whatever method you choose, make it personal.
Tip #2 – Deliver your email right away. Instant gratification is the name of the game today, so don't hesitate to acknowledge receipt of your new users' request to subscribe. Users expect immediate confirmation when they sign up for something and when they don't get it, they think something is wrong. Again, be sure your first impression is a good one and let them know you not only received their request, but that you are all over it.
Tip #3 – Say "Thank You!" Your customers have a plethora of choices when it comes to the products they choose, so be sure to thank them for choosing you. It's a simple phrase that can make a big impact on how your customers view your brand. Retailer, Kate Spade New York, relays a BIG THANKS to their new subscribers as pictured below.
Tip #4 – Spark user engagement. Show your users how to get started. This is especially important for web or mobile apps whose customers reap the benefit of their services by actually using it. Therefore, give them a few tips on where and how to get started. EventSpot, for example, provides a video tutorial, step-by-step guide, and a live webinar to help new users take advantage of the tool. Appboy (above) asks you to confirm your email and provides guidance on how to download their SDK. Find ways to incorporate quick and easy "getting started" steps to spark user engagement and foster higher retention rates.
Tip #5 – Provide Incentives. This relates to tip #4 in that you want to get customers using your service right away. If you are are a retailer, you may want to offer a coupon within your welcome message to entice your new subscriber into becoming a paying customer. You can put a time limit on the offer to help ensure a faster sale, but the main point is to get subscribers to click through and start browsing your site for something they want. It's a great way to get subscribers familiar with your brand and to stimulate a sale. Dick's Sporting Goods provides a 10% off coupon that is only valid online and only for one week.

I spy with my little eye… a boy dressed up as a girl!
Welcome back to the outrageous world of a pint-sized James Bond who has eschewed fast cars and smart suits for pink frocks, tights and tutus.
Kate Scott's super sleuthing schoolboy spy Joe is walking tall in his third hilarious espionage escapade which sees him donning skirts and high heels to play body-double for his mum.
The knockabout adventures of spies-in-training Joe and Sam – the girl who loves football and has become his very best friend – are must reading for children aged six and over who love nothing better than a mission seemingly impossible.
Boy in Heels is the final chapter of Spies in Disguise, a fun-filled series of classic comedy capers which features long-suffering Joe who has discovered his parents are spies but must dress up as a girl to fool the enemy.
Joe and Sam have one last mission to complete before Joe's family is moved on and he can finally ditch the pink dresses, remove the sparkly, animal-shaped hair clips and stop pretending to be 'Josie.' The only downside is that he will have to leave town and wave goodbye to Sam… maybe forever.
But for now their job is to handle a series of top-secret collections using their burgeoning stealth skills – not to mention the latest gadgets from HQ – and it is all going perfectly to plan.
At least, it was going well until Joe's spy mum found herself in serious danger and in urgent need of a body-double, meaning that Joe's disguise will have to grow several inches. But can he walk in high heels without falling over, learn what it means to be a parent as well as a spy, keep the enemy off the scent and save his family from discovery? It's a tall order…
Clare Elsom provides the characterful illustrations as Scott ratchets up the tension and fun in an all-action story filled with madcap antics, high drama, some ultra-cool spy gadgetry and a heart-melting friendship.
An ideal story for both girls and boys, and an exciting and original adventure for children starting to read alone, Boy in Heels remains head and shoulders above the rest as he takes his final bow.
