A former Tuscaloosa Police sergeant accused of sexually assaulting a woman while on duty two years ago was sentenced to serve 10 years in federal prison.
Jason Glen Thomas, 35, was sentenced in in U.S. Federal Court in Birmingham Tuesday.
He pleaded guilty in April to violating the civil rights of a woman in his custody.
According to court documents and investigator statements at the time, Thomas stopped the pedestrian without placing her under arrest shortly after midnight on May 27, 2011.
The U.S. Department of Justice announced the sentence in a press release sent from Washington D.C. Tuesday afternoon.
"Officers who sexually assault individuals in their custody defy the public trust bestowed upon law enforcement officials, and their actions will not be tolerated," Jocelyn Samuels, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division stated in the release.
A civil suit filed by the victim earlier this year is still pending in federal court.
Thomas, an 11-year veteran of the Tuscaloosa Police Department, saw the 42-year-old woman walking along Alabama Highway 216 at 1 a.m. on March 27, 2011, Tuscaloosa Police Chief Steve Anderson said in a 2011 news conference.
Thomas stopped and gave her a ride to a home on Keenes Mill Road, Anderson said. The woman later called 911 and reported that the officer stopped the patrol car and sexually assaulted her on the side of the road, outside the patrol car, the police chief said.
He denied the accusations during three initial interviews, but eventually confessed to investigators, according to court documents.
Thomas was represented by Birmingham attorney Tommy Spina and Tuscaloosa attorney Joel Sogol. His attorneys requested a sentence of two to two and a half years.
Government attorneys requested the 10-year sentence, which was granted. He will remain on supervised release after the prison term and will pay a $100 fine.
"The defendant used his authority as a law enforcement officer to satisfy his sexual desires and, in doing so, greatly impacted the life of another."
Thomas' attorneys submitted 13 letters from friends, family and former colleagues from the Tuscaloosa Police Department.
"Jason was a very well-respected policeman, a dedicated hard worker and a great family man," one officer wrote. "Jason has since kept a job, and is trying to move on with his life and be a contributing member of society. I personally know that he is truly sorry for what he has done, and if he had the ability to go back, would not make the same decision."

Working with the Van Alen Institute and National Park Service, we proposed a series of interconnected design concepts tying together disparate elements of the visitor experience at Weir Farm National Historic Site, former home of landscape painter Julian Alden Weir and later sculptor Mahonri Young and painter Sperry Andrews. The design encourages self-guided exploration via experimental wayfinding tools, landscape maintenance regimes, and their careful integration with social media, asking visitors to find their own paths through the site and to see it in light of the legacy of experimentation and exploration key to its historical significance.
The wayfinding system is a lightweight, portable series of viewfinders that suggest particular views and paths through the site while avoiding prescribed routes. The waypoints introduce visitors to the environmental conditions that were central to the work of the artists that worked here, and allow visitors to capture these phenomena for themselves. A minimal identifier on each of the waypoint prototypes allows for the collection of images from visitors online so that the collected experiences begin to create altogether new representations of the site. Coupled with the wayfinding system, a zero-budget landscape strategy redeploys existing maintenance regimes to create a rotating series of constantly updating meadow paths, carve new social spaces into the landscape, and create new opportunities to extend dwindling open-space habitats. Both strategies work to create an ever-evolving visitor experience that responds to changes in site ecology, new interpretation strategies, and asks visitors to see the site through a different lens each time they return.

I have no fears about making changes, destroying the image, etc, because the painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through. It is only when I lose contact with the painting that the result is a mess. Otherwise there is pure harmony, an easy give and take, and the painting comes out well."

Stoked Exhibition
Celebrating 30 Years of The Saint John's Pottery
Stoked: Five Artists of Fire and Clay is a nationally touring exhibition and catalogue organized by Saint John's University and The Saint John's Pottery. It reviews recent work by Richard Bresnahan, Artist-in-Residence at Saint John's University, and four former apprentices who have worked with Bresnahan at The Saint John's Pottery since it was established over thirty years ago.
Each of the artists has been influenced by the artistic style established by Bresnahan, as well as his focus on local, sustainable materials and community engagement. This unique 30th-anniversary exhibition project highlights the development of creative identity within and outside the bounds of apprenticeship.
The Stoked catalogue explores a range of contemporary American ceramics: from the robust stonewares of Bresnahan, Flicker, and Johnson to the whimsical redwares of Earp and the elegant sculptures of Meyer. The selected works are presented as a conversation between five creative forces rather than a rigid or linear development.
Curated and authored by Dr. Matthew Welch, Deputy Director and Chief Curator at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, Stoked: Five Artists of Fire and Clay reveals each individual's search for identity and the cross-fertilization that inevitably occurs when creative people from diverse backgrounds are mindful not only of the past but of generations to come.
Lavishly printed with nearly 90 color photographs, the Stoked: Five Artists of Fire and Clay catalogue is a 9.25 x 11" soft cover edition, 112 pages, with full-color images of the approximately 80 works in the exhibition, as well as a brief biographical and artistic review of each artist. To order a catalogue for $29.95, please contact The Saint John's Pottery.

To select the right product, consult the table on page 32. But first, decide what type of nitrogen loss—denitrification, leaching or volatilization—you need to prevent.
Denitrification and leaching occur only with the portion of your soil nitrogen that is in the nitrate form. Denitrification occurs when soil is saturated with water, especially when standing water is combined with warm temperatures and a carbon source. In those con- ditions, denitrifying bacteria increase. They strip oxygen away from nitrate-nitrogen (NO3-N) molecules, releasing nitrogen as a gas.
Sandy and well drained soils, where water percolates through, can leach NO3-N. "Stabilizers that reduce denitrification and leaching do it by slowing the nitrification process, in which ammonium is converted to nitrate," Ferrie says. "They either kill some of the nitrifying bacteria or slow down their activity."
Since you can't protect nitrate, you have to keep it in the stable ammonium form, by preventing nitrification, until the crop is ready to use it, Ferrie summarizes. Soils that stay wet and sandy soils that are subject to leaching are situations where nitrification inhi-bitors can help.
Volatilization affects surface-applied urea, which must break down, or hydrolyze, into ammonium. The ammonium then goes through the nitrification process to produce nitrate. Both forms can be used by corn plants, but until it is either tilled into the soil or washed in by rainfall or irrigation,
ammonia can be created during the hydrolysis process and be lost as a gas. The urease enzyme. Bio-inhibitor products reduce the risk of volatilization of urea prior to tillage or rainfall by blocking the urease enzyme. That enzyme, found in crop residue and in the upper few inches of soil, triggers the breakdown process that creates the risk of volatilization.
Managing urease enzymes is very important if urea is applied on the surface and not incorporated—which is becoming more common as farmers adopt no-till, strip-till and pre-emergence weed and feed programs. That's because urea hydrolysis causes soil pH to go up around the nitrogen molecule; high pH speeds the conversion of stable ammonium molecules to ammonia gas, which can be lost by volatilization.
The same concern arises in soils with a naturally high pH and where lime is applied without incorporation, also a no-till/strip-till situation.
Another approach to nitrogen stabilization involves controlled-release products, which slow the breakdown of urea by encapsulating the particles. They can reduce both volatilization and denitrification.
So far, so good, but it gets more complicated in the field because you have to understand your nitrogen source. "For example, 28% and 32% UAN [urea-ammonium nitrate] solutions contain 50% urea, 25% ammonium and 25% nitrate," Ferrie says. "So you may need two products: one to help prevent the urea from volatilizing—unless you incorporate immediately after application—and one to slow the conversion of stable ammonium into nitrate, which is easily lost."
Picking the correct stabilizer depends on various factors, including your nitrogen product and whether you plan to incorporate. "Say you're in no-till or strip-till and you apply 28% UAN solution on the soil surface and you added a stabilizer that protects only against denitrification and leaching," Ferrie says. "Late in the growing season, you'll be wondering why your crop ran out of nitrogen.
"The reason is that part or all of your urea nitrogen volatilized and was lost as a gas before you got rain to wash it into the soil," Ferrie adds. "You should have used a stabilizer to protect against volatility. It would have slowed or stopped the urease enzyme from triggering the conversion process.
"The nitrification inhibitor that you applied did its job later, by slowing the rate at which ammonium converted to nitrate in the soil," he continues. "But some of your nitrogen never got into the soil because it was lost as a gas."
Some products protect against denitrification and leaching as well as volatilization, Ferrie adds. They're a good buy if you need both kinds of protection but not so good a bargain if you only need one. "You need both if you are putting a large amount of urea nitrogen on the surface," he says.
In 2012, Ferrie conducted a study of a product that protects against denitrification and leaching with fall-applied anhydrous ammonia, which was applied to soil below 50°F. By March 22, only 48% of the stable ammonium where the stabilizer was used had converted to leachable nitrate. In anhydrous ammonia without the stabilizer, 68% of the ammonium had been converted to nitrate.
"Without the stabilizer, almost 70% of the nitrogen had converted to nitrate, before there was any corn out there to utilize it," Ferrie says. Equally important, where the stabilizer was used, Ferrie could account for 91% of the nitrogen, compared to only 84% where it wasn't. Losses were of the leachable nitrate, rather than the stable ammonium form.
"The reason we didn't lose a lot more nitrogen was that it was so dry," Ferrie says. "In a normal year, we could have lost a lot more fall-applied nitrogen if we didn't use a stabilizer."
Ferrie also studied the breakdown time of unprotected urea versus a controlled-release product that protects against volatilization, denitrification and leaching. "Twenty-four hours after application, the unprotected urea was beginning to break down," Ferrie says. "Our research showed the controlled-release product could delay breakdown by 40 to 60 days."
Stabilizer payoff. Various studies have confirmed that other products are also effective, when used where needed. One of Ferrie's 2011 studies showed the benefit of using two types of nitrogen stabilizers to guard against two types of nitrogen loss.
The study involved 28% UAN solution, applied on the surface and not incorporated. It was applied to soil that had been either vertically tilled or moldboard plowed. Some of the UAN was left untreated; some was treated with a product that protects against volatilization; and some was treated with a product that protects against volatilization, denitrification and leaching.
Controlling only volatilization increased yield by 14 bu. per acre in vertical tillage and 8 bu. per acre in moldboard plowing. Controlling both volatilization and denitrification increased yield by 38 bu. per acre in vertical tillage and 30 bu. per acre in moldboard plowing.
Here are some examples of the various situations that you might encounter when selecting a nitrogen stabilizer:
- No-till or strip-till, all nitrogen applied pre-emergence as UAN in the spring. "Here, you're concerned about both volatilization of urea and denitrification and leaching of nitrate," Ferrie says. "Several products are effective on both." (See table on page 32.)
- Conventional tillage, all nitrogen applied as UAN solution on soybean stubble and immediately worked in. "In this case, you solved the volatility issue by incorporating right after application," Ferrie says. "So your only concern is protecting against denitrification and leaching."
- Long-term corn on corn, broadcasting 60 lb. of nitrogen as UAN solution in the spring, incorporating immediately and sidedressing the rest of the nitrogen at the V4 or V5 stage. "In this situation, if you're not in a highly leachable soil, you don't need to apply any stabilizer," Ferrie says. "You applied the 60 lb. of nitrogen in the spring to feed the microorganisms that decompose old-crop residue. If you lock the nitrogen up with an inhibitor, you could create a temporary nitrogen deficiency for the corn plants."
The right time. Nitrogen stabilizers are not designed to let you violate the rules of good stewardship and sound economics. "Using a nitrogen stabilizer with anhydrous ammonia is no excuse for applying ammonia in the fall before soil temperature falls below 50°F and stays there," Ferrie cautions.
"But when soil temperature is fluctuating between 40°F and 55°F, a stabilizer will protect ammonia until the soil cools down permanently," he says. Avoiding fall application entirely, if possible, is one of the best ways to avoid nitrogen loss.
When calculating the cost of a stabilizer, remember that some products treat the soil and others treat the nitrogen. The rate of soil treatments is constant, but the rate of product treatments will increase along with nitrogen rates. If you understand what you need to accomplish, both types of stabilizer can pay off in higher yield and improved stewardship.

Now, not only has Ken Ham's Ark Encounter boondoggle been delayed and delayed and delayed, but it has also shrunk. Cincinnati news reports money problems and that they've cut back on the grander version they proposed. You know, the big project that would create 900 jobs for the area, and got tax breaks from the state on that promise? Not going to happen. It's been scaled down to almost a third of what was initially planned.
Answers in Genesis hoped to break ground on its "Ark Encounter" project nearly two years ago. Since then, the 172-million dollar project has been scaled back, redesigned and slowed down by a sluggish economy.
The Williamstown on the property the Ark will rest on doesn't look much differently than it did in February of 2012. That was a few months after the original groundbreaking date. Planners insist it will be built, but they can't say when.
…Ark Encounter's project manager, Mike Zovath says they are working every day on the design for displays and content. They hope to get all the necessary permits for drainage and underground utilities by the end of November. But even if they had them today … "Right now we don't have the money for construction, yet."
The Ark project has enough money to continue moving forward with the design and architecture work — but not enough to build it. They've raised between $12 and $15-million. " We need about $45-million to break escrow and start construction for a $60-million end project," Zovath says.
The scaled-down $60-million dollar project would include parking lots , a ticketing area and the Ark. The walled city and other features would come later. Zovath has faith in the project and points to the Creation Museum as something critics said would never be built. "I'm absolutely positive it's going to happen."
We all know what faith is worth. Nothing at all.
Give it a few more years, and they'll deliver a toy boat in a rubber tub with some plastic animals scattered around.

Four games highlight the opening round of the 27th annual Gaston County Baseball Tournament Monday at Sims Legion Park in Gastonia.
Hunter Huss and Bessemer City start the full day of action at 10 a.m. That game will be followed by defending champion South Point against Ashbrook at 1 p.m.
East Gaston and Forestview will square off at 4 p.m. North Gaston then faces Cherryville in the 7 p.m. nightcap.
First-round pairings were randomly drawn.
--Team-by-team capsules--
Today�s winners will advance to Wednesday�s semifinals, with the semifinal winners meeting for the championship 7 p.m. Friday. The consolation bracket continues Tuesday and Thursday with games at 4 and 7 p.m.
This will mark the fifth straight year Sims Legion Park serves as the tournament venue. The tournament picked up a new presenting sponsor this year in Carolina Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center, P.A. The previous sponsor, CaroMont Health, chose not to renew its agreement due to budget constraints.
The Gaston Gazette remains an organizing sponsor, and the City of Gastonia Parks and Recreation also stayed on as a sponsor and host.
South Point won its record seventh tournament title last season behind tournament most valuable player Andrew Locklear, who batted 5-for-11 and pitched five shutout innings in two relief appearances. The Red Raiders defeated Forestview 6-0 in the championship game.
North Gaston is next behind South Point with five titles. East Gaston has won four.

"Best Selection Of Shrimp I've Ever Seen"
"What a fun place and the food is delicious. Most impressed with the amazing shrimp selection. I really didn't know there were so many different kinds. The special on the menu, the night we were there, was royal red shrimp. We learned that this is a highly sought after deep water shrimp caught off the Atlantic coast of Florida. Because of the depth they are caught in ( about 2400 hundred feet) the meat is pearl white and very tender......."

UPDATES: Instructor Cequana Clark informed The Examiner on Thursday evening, Sept. 13, that she has been asked to turn in her keys and receipt book, terminating her employment with BISD. Clark anticipated losing half her paycheck with the cancelation of the adult cosmetology program, but she was still employed as a night-class instructor for the Taylor Center. That was before she says Principal Thomas Amons told her, "We've decided to let you go. We don't need your services anymore."
A Facebook group with more than 300 members, Southeast Texans Against BISD's Taylor Center Principal Thomas Amons, has organized a protest for Saturday, Sept. 15, in front of the BISD administration building beginning at 10 a.m. The group is organized by Amy Loupe Jones. Member Mo Taylor-Boggan said Amons' actions are just not acceptable. "If nothing else, at least an investigation needs to be presented," said Taylor-Boggan, a mother of children in BISD and herself a graduate of BISD. The BISD administration building is at 3395 Harrison Ave. The Facebook group can be found at http://www.facebook.com/groups/443070862405312/
BISD officials released a statement to some local news outlets defending Amons' decision: "Due to budget restraints and no Beaumont ISD cosmetology graduates registering for the class, the Taylor Career center is no longer offering an extended courtesy evening cosmetology class for adults. Amons stressed that the high school cosmetology program at Taylor still exists. But he said the school can no longer afford to fund the part of the program serving non-BISD cosmetology program graduates."
Contrary to BISD's statement, however, the program instructor has documentation that shows that at least one BISD Taylor Career Center graduate was continuing toward her license this semester in the adult program.
After more than a decade, the Adult Cosmetology class offered through Beaumont Independent School District's Taylor Career and Technology Center is closing. The reason, instructor Cequana Clark says, is that Principal Thomas Amons would rather close the program than admit a man Amons thought was gay after a brief encounter with the prospective student on the first day of class Sept 10.
"I don't understand this. I really don't," Clark said. "(Amons) told me he would rather shut down the program altogether than to have 'riff-raff' like that in the program. The next day, he shut down the program."
Clark, who has headed the adult cosmetology program since 2009 at BISD, said, "Earlier this year, I learned he had a problem with gay guys while we were at the hair show in April." Clark said at the hair show, Amons told her that he never wanted to see "flamboyantly gay guys" in the BISD program like the men enrolled at other programs competing in the event.
"I couldn't believe it then; I kind of thought he was just venting at that time," Clark said of what she called an awkward encounter. Clark said she knew Amons was serious when 22-year-old Kwmane Gray tried to enroll in the program.
"As soon as we got a student that (Amons) thought was gay, that was the end. He saw (Gray) come into the class, and then he came to get me out of there," Clark said of Principal Amons, a man who also serves as a deacon at Antioch Missionary Baptist Church. The instructor said she was told to tell Gray he wasn't welcome in the program. Feeling a moral objection to what was taking place, she refused. "I told (Amons) if he wanted to tell that young man that, he would need to do that himself."
After bringing another instructor in on the conversation, Amons said he would consult BISD's legal representation on how to proceed."The next day (Sept. 11), (Amons) told me that the legal department said he couldn't exclude (Gray) based on his sexual preference, but that as the principal of the school he could decide to no longer offer the program. He said the last day would be Thursday, Sept. 13."
The closing of the program not only affected new enrollees like Gray, Clark added; four students were already enrolled in the program when classes were set to resume Sept. 10. Clark said enrollment has steadily increased in the program since she started in 2009, jumping from two students to eight when the call came down to close the program. Clark, who aside from her BISD job holds positions as a pastor of a Groves church and owner of a salon in Beaumont, said she is heartbroken at the thought of students not being able to utilize the much-needed program any longer.
"I take this very seriously. Most of my students coming in are single moms trying to move ahead and make a life for themselves. My thing is, I bust my tail off with this program: I give God the glory because it's been doing good since I've been there. At the very least, I'd like to see Mr. Amons apologize to that young man and to allow those already entered in the program to finish their instruction to get licensed," Clark said, adding that the right thing to do would be to continue the program and allow Gray to enter.
"The whole thing is just mind-blowing."
Clark said she had mixed feelings about speaking out about what she knew concerning the closure of the adult cosmetology class, but in the end, she had to do what she knew was right.
"It's a chance they may fire me all the way, and honestly that's a chance I'm willing to take," she said. "I made up in my mind I'm not going to compromise or lie for anyone. I love my job – love it, love it, love it – but I have to stand up for what's right."
Clark was right to worry about her job. She informed The Examiner on Thursday evening, Sept. 13, that she has been asked to turn in her keys and receipt book, terminating her employment with BISD. Clark anticipated losing half her paycheck with the cancelation of the adult cosmetology program, but she was still employed as a night-class instructor for the Taylor Center. That was before she says Principal Thomas Amons told her, "We've decided to let you go. We don't need your services anymore."
Students rally for fairness, education
"This is like a hate crime," Gray told The Examiner. Gray, who has spent the last three semesters as an A and B Lamar University student, said he was initially excited to start the BISD program to save on cost of tuition and acquire his cosmetology license in enough time to enter Lamar State College – Orange in January to finish course work toward becoming a certified nurse by the spring of next year. "He never even talked to me. He just judged me. I don't know and I don't care (why); I just don't want him to be over any other kids and maybe do that to them, too. He can cause a lot of trouble for students like that."
Gray said he is gay but has never been open about his sexuality before now, and was forced into the spotlight when word was given to the entire class that the reason no one would be furthering their education in cosmetology was because of him.
"Six or seven other girls in there can't get their license because of me," Gray explained. "That just isn't right.
"Right now, I can see I'm going to need counseling. I wasn't at the point in my life to really open up about my sexuality. This is a big depression on me – he thought I was gay, and he didn't want me around. That's pretty tough to hear."
Other students attempting to enroll in this semester's classes also had stern words for the administration.
Liliana Gonzalez, who has already invested registration fees and over 600 hours in the program, wrote a letter to principal Amons. "I don't think this is fair," she said. "(Gray) is a human, I already spent time and money in this class ... because I want a better life, and now what?""This is honestly ridiculous," returning student Ashley Martinez wrote. "I never heard of something like this happening for such a stupid reason."
Martinez also had a warning for Amons.
"If you think you're going to get away with this, you're more than wrong."
Prospective student Arilene Serna said she, too, was appalled by the decision-making process that allowed prejudice against homosexuals to end class instruction, adding "It's so not fair to the students that have already been studying in the program. I'm really disappointed the cosmetology program is going to be shut down for a reason meant to hurt someone."
Gray's mother, Sharee Logan, said she was hurt, angered and disappointed by what she learned from BISD instructor Clark in the aftermath of the adult cosmetology program's closure.
"My son is trying to be somebody in life," Logan said through strained tears. "He is trying to go to school; he's in his last semester."(Amons) discriminated against my son, just from looking at him. I thought we lived in America. This has hurt me so bad for him to call my son a riff-raff.
"Whether my son is gay or not is none of his business. We live in a time where people are committing suicide behind stuff like this. This is my only son.
"I want this story to be told. This is not right. I don't appreciate it. I'm a Christian myself, but God said to love everybody."No comment
Attempts to reach Amons at his office were unsuccessful. Multiple messages left with various BISD officials – communication representatives Jessie Haynes and Ron Reynolds, assistant superintendent Patria Lambert, and BISD legal counsel Melody Chappell – were also unanswered as of press time.
BISD trustee Tom Neild said if the facts surrounding the program closure are all true, he's appalled.
"Even though this is impacting just a few students, it's very important to those students," he said. "I definitely intend on following this matter to get to the bottom of this."
Adult cosmetology instructor Clark said she hopes her boss, Amons, can have a change of heart, but she isn't holding her breath at this point.
"I just can't imagine him doing this," she said. "I don't really think he thought this whole thing out."

Occasionally we receive requests to modify the Subjects of messages as they
pass through our mailing lists to
add a list-specific prefix to the subject, e.g. for the
www-html list:
Subject: [www-html] HTML Improvement/Suggestion
We do not do this for our lists, for a number of reasons described below:
All messages distributed by our mailing lists are sent with a
List-Id header identifying the list, e.g. for
List-Id: <www-html.w3.org>
This is the standard way to identify a mailing list, per RFC 2919. Users who wish to filter mail from mailing lists into different mailboxes should do so using this header. Mail clients should use this header and the related headers specified by RFC 2369 to allow users to filter, join and leave mailing lists with minimal effort. If your mail client software does not provide these features, please file a bug report with your software vendor.
The subject tagging practice was started years ago as a workaround for mail clients that had no ability to filter mail into different mailboxes. Fortunately, most modern email software has built-in filtering capabilities, so it is rarely needed today.
Subject of a message is one of the most important
parts of the message; to use much of it up with metadata that is already
better specified elsewhere in the message header is a waste of that
precious space, and this impacts everyone on the mailing list, not just
those with outdated mail clients.
Subject tagging is not a reliable way to identify mail from a mailing list versus personal email, because if someone sends a personal reply off the list, they will likely not remove the list tag from the subject and the mail will get filtered to the recipient's list mailbox even though it was not distributed by the list.
If certain users are unable to filter mail based on the
List-Id header, our list software adds a number of other
headers that may be used for filtering, e.g.
Resent-Sender, etc. However, these headers are less reliable
than the
List-Id header, which will always be present, so
other headers should be used as a last resort.
Although we realize that there may still be some email clients that do not make it straightforward to filter based on any of these headers, we still do not provide a subject tagging facility for our lists because we would rather see effort invested in getting mail software fixed to do the right thing than provide workarounds that provide no incentive to do so, at the expense of users whose mail clients already do the right thing.

Today marked the end of the journey for Sweetie and me. It was so sad to leave all of our new friends. Luckily we still have Edmodo, Facebook, and Twitter to continue our friendships and our professional collaboration. I hope you enjoyed our blog, and perhaps it inspired you to do something outrageous and crazy yourself. They say all good things must come to an end, but I believe for Sweetie and I the good things will continue. We'll go home. Sweetie will be reunited with her friends in the pasture and she'll tell them all about our crazy adventures. Me? Well I'll spend hours sifting through everything I learned and finding ways to integrate at least some of it into my fifth grade class this year. Before you know it, school will start and another wonderful crazy adventure will begin!

Final Roundup and Fryer!
After Rita's final Roundup, Wesley Fryer was our speaker today. His presentation was all about "Playing with Media," and the advantages of using games and play in learning. He then introduced his amazing eight year old daughter who shared "Scratch" (a program for creating games) and "Story Patch," a digital storytelling program. She was a true model of a 21st century learner and made us all aspire to be the kind of teacher who creates students with her confidence.

Unconference Day!
Have you ever heard of an unconference? Wikipedia defines the unconference as, "a participant-driven meeting. Typically at an unconference, the agenda is created by the attendees at the beginning of the meeting. Anyone who wants to initiate a discussion on a topic can claim a time and a space. Unconferences typically feature open discussions rather than having a single speaker at the front of the room giving a talk, although any format is permitted. This form of conference is particularly useful when the attendees generally have a high level of expertise or knowledge in the field the conference convenes to discuss."
DENSI is a perfect place for this type of format. The attendees possess so much knowledge and skill. We spent the week sharing and collaborating during informal times. This was a chance to do it formally.

Two obituaries today. One I was actually seeking, the other happened to be, quite coincidentally, published the same day and of some interest to my family tree. I often go back through the archived newspapers on Google to backfill my data with obituaries. So I purposefully went to seek Victoria Przybylski Sieja's obit, I hadn't located it before. However, published on the same day as hers — October 21, 1937 — was the obituary of my aunt's (Celia Mierzejewski Starzynski) husband's brother, John Starzynski.
Both obits are below and are transcribed.
Mrs. Victoria Sieja
Mrs. Victoria Sieja died Wednesday in her home at 1451 Avondale Avenue of a stroke suffered while working in the yard of her home. She was 53.
Mrs. Sieja was a member of St. Anthony's Church. She leaves her husband, Frank Sieja; three daughters, Mrs. Clem Plenzler, Mrs. Casper Roman, and Miss Alice Sieja; six sons, Roman, Chester, Andrew, Daniel, Edmund and Norman, two sisters, Mrs. Anastazia Plenzler and Mrs. Eva Hejnicki, two brothers, Frank and John Przybylski, and seven grandchildren.
Services will be at 9:30 a.m. Saturday in the residence and at 10 a.m. in St. Anthony's Church. Burial will be in Calvary. The body is in the residence.
Services for John (Starr) Starzynski, 27 E. Pearl Street, who died Wednesday, will be at 6:45 a.m. Friday in Stanley Urbanski Mortuary and at 7 a.m. in St. Adalbert's Church. Burial will be in Calvary.
Mr. Starzynski, who was 29, had been ill a month. He was employed by Willys-Overland Motors, Inc. He leaves his wife, Mrs. Helen Starzynski; his parents, Mrs. and Mrs. Marion Starzysnki, and three bothers, Walter, Joseph, and Edward, all of Toledo.

United set for job cuts after council OKs Hobby expansion
Southwest celebrates approval for new, international flights
The City Council approved a plan on Wednesday that will give Houston two international airports, settling a debate over whether flights from Hobby to Latin America would boost the local economy or divide the city against itself and trigger layoffs, canceled routes and stagnation at Bush Intercontinental Airport.
Within hours, United Airlines told employees in a bulletin that, as a result of the council vote, it would be cutting planned operations at Bush Intercontinental by 10 percent and eliminating 1,300 Houston jobs, with the first buyouts, transfers or pink slips going out in the fall. It immediately canceled planned service to Auckland, New Zealand.
The council's 16-1 vote, according to the bulletin, also puts in "significant doubt" whether United will complete a planned $700 million expansion of Terminal B at Bush Intercontinental on which it broke ground in January.
"We believe that splitting Houston's international air service is the wrong decision for the city's future, but we respect the fact that City Council did not agree," United spokeswoman Mary Clark said in a released statement.
Houston Airport Director Mario Diaz declined to comment on United's jobs announcement.
Mayor Annise Parker was dubious of United's post-vote stance.
"I'll wait to see that they do that," she said. "I think United is committed to this city and that they're going to do their best to continue to grow jobs here in Houston. We already know that we provide a much more competitive environment in terms of cost of living and workforce than any of their other hub areas. They committed early on that we would be the largest hub in the largest airline in the world and that's the commitment I expect them to keep."
She added later, "They've stated continuously that they welcome competition. That competition is at least three years away. So, for United to say there are going to be 1,300 people laid off next week or so, that's just not reasonable. Because nothing is going to happen until that terminal is built. There's no competition today. So any decisions they make in terms of personnel are based on other things - not the vote we cast today."
$100 million project
Under the plan approved by the council, Southwest will pay $100 million up front to build five international gates and a customs facility at Hobby. In exchange, the airline receives control of four of the five gates, free rent in the new facilities and a rebate based on how much sales inside Hobby increase once Southwest launches its first planned international departures in 2015.
"This is what we were sent here to do. We were sent here to expand business, to create opportunities to continue the growth in our great city," said District I Councilman James Rodriguez, who represents the southeast area of the city where Hobby is located. "This is yet another historic day in the city of Houston, and it's also another historic day in aviation."
The council supported the proposition that Southwest's entry into the international market will lower fares, cause more people to fly, and pump up the Houston economy.
"I can guarantee you that our fares are going to be lower than our competition," said Southwest CEO Gary Kelly, who repeatedly visited Houston to pitch the proposal. "It's all about competition. It's all about lowering fares, and more traffic means more jobs."
Lone dissenter
United, which has a virtual lock on Latin American flights from Houston, opposed the expansion.
Councilman Jerry Davis, whose District B includes Bush Intercontinental, cast the lone negative vote. "I don't think the people of the city of Houston really understand what could transpire," said Davis, who worried that it will cost jobs and hurt businesses in north Houston. "I pray that I'm wrong."
Though Davis stood alone in the vote, several of his colleagues openly acknowledged that they were torn. The council had to pick between diametrically opposite visions of the consequences of choosing a side in an epic corporate battle between the nation's largest domestic carrier and the world's largest airline. A city study forecasts as many as 18,000 new jobs and $1.6 billion in annual economic impact from Hobby, while United's own study predicts 3,700 lost jobs in the region and a loss of $300 million in annual economic impact.
Popularity contest?
Failure to approve Hobby expansion would have driven Southwest to shop its expansion plans in San Antonio or another competing city, Southwest leaders said.
Embracing Southwest, however, could trim back United's expansion plans at Bush Intercontinental and strip it of its status as the largest hub of the world's largest airline. Even some of those who cast votes in favor of Hobby did so with some trepidation.
"I'm concerned that we're about to reverse 45 years or more of aviation policy without having had the opportunity to have a sober discussion about this matter around the council table," said District J Councilman Mike Laster. "To me, at times this proposal has felt more like a public relations campaign or a popularity contest rather than an attempt to forge good public policy. I regret that I am not yet wholly convinced that the greater metropolitan area, with its population of just over 6 million people, is large enough to operate two international airports within one system without inflicting damage of some sort."
After the vote, scores of United employees wearing blue shirts with the slogan "Keep IAH Strong" silently filed out of the room while Parker temporarily waived rules against cheering in chambers to permit an eruption of hollering and applause from Southwest employees in yellow T-shirts with the words "Free Hobby."

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The Golden Eagle softball team is looking to bounce back from a tough weekend in Illinois. Tech will only travel a short distance to Nashville to face-off against Tennessee State. The three-game series will take place Saturday and Sunday. Tech will play a single game Saturday at 4 p.m. and a doubleheader Sunday, times to be determined.
The Golden Eagles are looking to reverse a five-game losing streak after taking four tough conference loses in Illinois against EIU and SIUE. Tech currently sits seventh in the OVC standings as the Tournament lies just two short weeks away.
Melody Christian leads the Golden Eagle bats with a .372 average. The senior has collected 55 hits this season, fifth in the conference. She is currently riding an 11-game hitting streak, tying the streak she opened the 2013 season with. Christian is three-steals away from the third most steals in a season.
Tech continues to rely on its veteran players. Kendall Hooper popped her fourth home run last weekend at EIU, and is batting a second best .278 against conference opponents.
Claudia Harke (5-9) and Taylor Ketchum (13-10) continue to split time in the circle, but Erica Tuck has seen significant time in Tech's past few outings. In her past five appearances, Tuck has not given up a run, holding opponents to nine hits.
All-Time Series
Tech vs.
Tennessee State: 51-11, Tech has a commanding lead over the Tigers, but has not swept a series since 2007. The teams paired off two different times that year, in a doubleheader in March and a single game in April. Tech won 14-0, 6-0 and 11-0. Last season the Golden Eagles took the series 2-1, winning 5-3 and 4-0 but dropped the second game of the doubleheader 4-1.
Quick Hits
- Tech is 19-25 overall this season and 8-10 in the OVC.
- Tech has won both OVC Series it's played in, and split two doubleheaders. The Golden Eagles were swept by Murray State, SIUE and EIU in each doubleheader.
- As a team, Tech is hitting .258, posting 167 runs scored, 139 RBI and a .327 on-base percentage through 44 games. The Golden Eagles average 3.80 earned runs per game.
- The Golden Eagle pitching staff combines for a 3.38 conference ERA allowing 44 earned runs in 117.0 innings pitched in the OVC.
- Five Golden Eagles have combined for 19 home runs this season. [Hooper (4), Bennett (3), Sakamoto, (3), B. Spalding (3). Eldridge (2), C. Spalding (2), Gibbs, Taylor].
- Hannah Eldridge and Kendall Hooper have each had six multiple-RBI games.
- Senior Melody Christian opened the season on a tear, connecting for at least one hit in each of her first 11 games of the season and currently sits on another 11 game streak.
- Two players have scored 20+ runs for the Golden Eagles, including Christian, with a team-high 28 runs and is the team's stolen bases leader.
- Christian is third in the OVC with 21 stolen bases on 24 attempts.
- Five Golden Eagles have recorded triples, including newcomer Chelsea Burgess.
- Ketchum was named adidas® Ohio Valley Conference Pitcher of the Week (Feb. 11). Ketchum gave up just two hits in 10 innings of work.
- In a trip to the sunshine state, Tech ended the Under Armour Showcase 3-2, with key wins over Maine, LIU Brooklyn and Providence.
- The Golden Eagles finished the Eagle Round Robin hosted by Georgia Southern in February with a 2-2 record. The weekend was highlighted by a 3-1 victory over Akron as sophomore Taylor Ketchum threw a one-hitter Feb. 10.
- First year head coach Bonnie Bynum picked up her first win at Tennessee Tech after the team downed St. John's, 4-3, on Feb. 9. The Golden Eagles defeated St. John's thanks to a walk-off single by senior Chanelle Spalding, marking the first win against the Red Storm in program history and the first victory of the 2013 season.

RSS feed?
Hi, I'd love to keep up with your blog, but I can't find an RSS feed. Could you add one?
How sad is it that I wish I were having another baby just so I could name it?? I'm thrilled to have found your site (which I found through Amazon, looking up the Cool Names book to send to a friend).

Re: RSS feed?
Great -- I'll be on the lookout for it. And of course I'm thrilled you like my names!
p.s. I'd love to see a blog post about sibling name matching. This is something my friends and I discuss a lot -- there's my SIL, who has two girls with the same initials (AJK --it makes me crazy!) to others whose kids seem to be from different families they're so stylistically different. But does it matter? Once we grow up, we generally go our separate ways....

Located in the shadow of the Wasatch National Forest, just below the Great Salt Lake, is Brighham Young University. This is the largest religious university in the United States, with over 34,000 full-time students, and it offers programs in liberal arts, engineering, agriculture, management, and law. The school's campuses are as impressive as its departments; The Princeton Review ranked the ultra-sleek and modern Harold B. Lee Library as the very best in the country in 2004, and the satellite campus in Salt Lake City is especially beautiful when fall colors roll in. Still need an endorsement? Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney went to school here, as did Stephanie Meyer, author of the Twilight series.
This is a backwater town where you'll find modest apartments in small, planned communities, many of which are located on the outskirts of Salt Lake City (just to the north). There are also units available in more luxurious residential villages closer to the main campus. Only 20% of undergraduates at Brigham Young University actually live on campus, so you've come to the right place—get your apartment search started right with our handy online apartment guide. Get a sense of what your average Brigham Young University students makes of all this surrounding natural splendor by also checking out our helpful college life link.
There is public transportation here! Hooray! The Utah Transit Authority services the entire town, and has many stops along the perimeter of the BYU campus. You can also take the bus all the way to Salt Lake City. When you get a chance, take advantage of the nearby National Forest; you can learn everything you need to know from the official Parks homepage, whether you prefer camping, fishing, hiking, or whatever else your outdoorsy heart desires. Drinking and general carousing is prohibited at Brigham Young University as part of the school's honor code, so don't expect much nightlife in Provo.

Education Master Plan 2014-2020
Education Master Plan 2014-2020
Defining Our Future
CCSF's education master plan serves as the college's blue print for the next 5 to 6 years. The plan guides institutional and program development. Specifically, the goals established in the education master plan assist the college in advancing student achievement, transforming infrastructure, and providing innovation opportunities for all.
Spring 2014 planning processes featured 36 strategy sessions which provided opportunities for members of the public to actively review and discuss data, including student achievement data and other institutional effectiveness indicators. Four public forums were also held at various centers across San Francisco. Local industry, government, education, and community partners were actively solicited for input as well. As a result of this collaborative process, three goals were developed. In May 2014, the three EMP goals and associated strategic priorities were recommended by the Academic Senate and PGC, then subsequently approved by the Board. August 2014 Flex activities highlighted all three institutional goals.
Approval for the full plan occurred in December 2014. Thereafter,
the EMP Implementation Matrix summarizes accomplishments to date and
highlights connections to resource and support plans that undergird
and effectuate the EMP.
Education Master Plan Goals
Goal 1: Advance student achievement in meeting educational goals
Goal 2: Transform and sustain College infrastructure
Goal 3: Provide new and expanded opportunities for organizational development and effective innovation

Request for a preliminary ruling from the Kúria (Hungary) lodged on 27 March 2019 — EUROVIA Ipari, Kereskedelmi, Szállítmányozási és Idegenforgalmi Kft. v Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal Fellebbviteli Igazgatósága
(Case C-258/19)
Language of the case: Hungarian
Referring court
Parties to the main proceedings
Applicant: EUROVIA Ipari, Kereskedelmi, Szállítmányozási és Idegenforgalmi Kft.
Defendant: Nemzeti Adó- és Vámhivatal Fellebbviteli Igazgatósága
Questions referred
Does the practice of a Member State infringe the principle of fiscal neutrality and the formal requirements of the right to deduct VAT where, for the purposes of exercising the right to deduct the tax, it has regard solely to the time the chargeable event occurred, and does not take into account the fact that there was a civil dispute between the parties concerning performance of the contract, which was determined in judicial proceedings, and that the invoice was only issued once a final judgment was delivered?
If the answer to that question is in the affirmative, is it possible to exceed the limitation period for exercising the right to deduct VAT, set by the legislation of the Member State at five years from the time when the services were supplied?
If the answer to that question is in the affirmative, is the exercise of the right to deduct VAT affected by the conduct of the recipient of the invoice in the present case, which did not pay the contractor's remuneration determined by a final judgment until the contractor had brought enforcement proceedings, for which reason the invoice was not issued until after the limitation period had expired?

Official Dedication of the NJ Korean War Memorial Pays Tribute to Those Now No Longer Forgotten
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ - Governor Christine Todd Whitman and a host of dignitaries joined close to one thousand attendees in the dedication ceremony of the New Jersey Korean War Memorial, located in Brighton Park, Atlantic City - where Park Place meets the Boardwalk. Today's keynote speaker was Medal of Honor Recipient from New Jersey Hector A. Cafferata, Jr.
Senator Louis Kosco (R-38) wrote the enabling legislation for the Memorial in 1996, appropriating the initial seed money of $25,000, which established the New Jersey Korean War Memorial Committee. Atlantic City's Casino Reinvestment and Development Authority (CRDA) contributed $1 million toward the $3 million project. The Korean War Memorial fund is still accepting corporate and private donations to cover the remaining costs associated with construction.
Sculptors J. Tom Carillo of Denver and Thomas Jay Warren of Sugar Grove, NC were selected by the Committee in 1998 to work on the Memorial, which features a 12-foot high statue of "The Mourning Soldier" clutching dogtags and remembering his lost comrades. A group of soldiers "under fire" emerges through a sheet of water just to his left. The back wall of the Memorial, beneath an eternal flame, is engraved with the names of the 822 New Jerseyans who were killed or are still missing in action.
New Jersey Governor Christine Todd Whitman attended the dedication ceremony and laid the wreath honoring the 191,000 New Jerseyans who served in the conflict. "May this memorial forever stand both as a tribute to those who fought for freedom in Korea and as an enduring symbol of New Jerseyans' deep appreciation for the selfless, patriotic service of all our country's veterans," stated Gov. Christie Whitman.
Executive Director of the 50th Anniversary of the Korean War, Major General (Ret) Nels Running presented Gov. Whitman with a 50th Commemorative coin and certificate to symbolize New Jersey's recognition as an official "Commemorative Community."
Major General Paul J. Glazar, The Adjutant General of the State of New Jersey said, "With this very beautiful and special permanent tribute, the veterans of the Forgotten War will be forgotten no more."
Members of the Korean Community dressed in traditional garb sounded a ceremonial gong as the New Jersey Army National Guard followed with a nine-gun rifle salute. The ceremony concluded with a flyover of four F-16C Fighting Falcons from the 177th Fighter Wing, New Jersey Air National Guard. Bally's Park Place hotel and casino hosted a reception immediately following the ceremony.
"The generosity and continued support from the CRDA, members of the New Jersey Legislature, Governor Whitman, Veterans' Organizations, corporate donors and so many individuals have truly made this important day a reality," stated Committee Chairman, Larry St. Laurent. "Finally the courage and sacrifice of so many will forever stand tall in our community."
The New Jersey Department of Veterans and Military Affairs, in conjunction with the United States Postal Service, issued a unique special event cover for sale at today's event to commemorate the dedication of the Memorial. A reproduction of the artwork of the "Mourning Soldier" was imprinted on the left side of the decorative envelope as well as a unique pictorial Korean War Memorial cancellation stamp in the upper, right corner, dated Nov. 13, 2000, Atlantic City, NJ. All proceeds will benefit the New Jersey Korean War Memorial Fund. This souvenir piece can also be purchased through the New Jersey Korean War Memorial Committee at (609) 530-7049.
For any New Jersey resident wishing to support the Committee's on-going outreach efforts, they may do so by checking the appropriate box on their state income tax return. The New Jersey Korean War Memorial Fund will appear for the first time on the 2001 tax.

Editor's Note: This story appeared in the Riverside, Calif., Press-Enterprise and recounts the history of Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. The newspaper prepared a special Fleetwood interactive package consisting of slideshows, archived stories and a video as well as an opportunity for readers to submit their own images. To view that package. go to http://www.pe.com/reports/2009/fleetwood/ <http://www.pe.com/reports/2009/fleetwood/>.
When Fleetwood Enterprises Inc. needed room to expand its Anaheim factory 46 years ago, its founder looked east, where there was ample land and labor.
John Crean, a pioneer in the recreational vehicle industry, didn't want a fancy headquarters, "so Riverside suited them fine," his son, Andrew, said. "It was strictly business."
That business thrived, spending more than two decades on the Fortune 500 list of largest U.S. businesses.
Fleetwood's presence in Riverside spawned a West Coast hub for other RV and manufactured housing suppliers and builders.
But a failed expansion starting in the 1990s buried the company in debt that it couldn't overcome.
Today, a few executives remain to sell off the last vestiges of the RV and housing empire and finalize the company's bankruptcy by October. Factories scattered around the country have been shuttered or sold. The RV and housing divisions have been split and have new owners in different parts of the country.
Fleetwood Enterprises, the Riverside-based company founded by John Crean and already all but gone, is about to dissolve completely when its bankruptcy becomes final in the next few months.
The company may not have been the first RV manufacturer in Southern California, "but they overshadowed all that came before," said Allen R. Hesselbart, historian at the RV and Manufactured Housing Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Ind.
The milestones were many — selling $1 billion worth of RVs in 1989 and $1 billion of manufactured homes in 1994. The company broke into the Fortune 500 in 1973 — 230th at its height — and stayed on the list for nearly three decades.
"They filled the shoes as the largest manufacturer for both industries," carrying the RV and manufactured housing businesses for at least 25 years into the 1980s, Hesselbart said.
For at least one kid growing up in Riverside, the company was a capitalist inspiration. Jeremy Burkhardt, CEO of Riverside-based Speakercraft, said his company's success is owed in large part to a business deal with the RV maker.
A Fleetwood executive walked into the Speakercraft retail store in the early 1980s to buy box speakers, and Speakercraft got a contract to install its hidden in-wall speakers inside Fleetwood's motorhomes.
"That was our first million-dollar customer," Burkhardt said. "If it wasn't for Fleetwood wanting to put our in-wall speakers in their motorhome, it wouldn't have led to the Speakercraft brand."
Fleetwood earned a reputation as an innovator. Crean designed the first motorhome with storage underneath, now an industry standard. Fleetwood also built a vehicle big enough to stand up to dinosaurs, the digital and animatronic stars in "The Lost World: Jurassic Park," and comfortable enough for Pope John Paul II to use before his Mass at Dodger Stadium in 1987.
Not so Atypical
It was a place where someone could start as an assistant and end up on the company's board of directors.
It also had the same challenges most businesses encounter — an economy outside its control, decisions about growth, power struggles and lawsuits.
Southern California economist John Husing said Fleetwood's closure is a "big deal" and another hit at a time when the region's economy and unemployment rate can't take much more.
"It couldn't happen at a worse time," he said.
Every dollar Fleetwood spent on payroll or contracts or supplies was spent at least one other time by the recipients.
"When you cut off the gold mine, you end up with a ghost town," he said.
As for Fleetwood's legacy in Riverside, its current CEO likes to think it was just like any other company that called the city home.
"We were just another significant employer," said CEO Elden Smith, who started in 1968 as a trainee and eventually led Fleetwood's RV division before retiring. The board of directors tapped him to return in 2005.
It employed 21,000 people nationwide at one time, with a few thousand workers at the company's Riverside headquarters and several Inland plants. When it filed for bankruptcy in March, it had 609 Inland workers.
Smith experienced the industry's wild growth in the 1970s and '80s, but also the severe challenges from the oil embargoes of that era that almost brought the RV business to a halt.
"It was a real roller coaster ride," Smith said recently.
A new Fleetwood RV has emerged in Decatur, Ind., after a New York equity firm bought it in a bankruptcy bid. The manufactured housing division was sold to Phoenix-based Cavco Industries. Those companies have a stake in two Riverside factories; whether they will ever use them is unclear.
Now, dealers will get a Fleetwood that's on solid financial footing again, "which they haven't had for quite some time," Smith said.
Mike Thompson's RV has been one of Fleetwood's largest dealers, with four Southern California locations, including one in Colton.
Frank DeGelas, the dealerships' owner, said he's glad a new Fleetwood emerged, even though it's based several states away instead of just around the corner.
"If that's what it requires for them to be successful, that's a pill I have to swallow," he said.
DeGelas has two photos hanging in his office — one of his wife and the other a black-and-white picture of John Crean handing him the keys to the very first Bounder that rolled off Fleetwood's Riverside assembly line.
Success story
The Bounder became one of Fleetwood's most popular RV models.
"I knew it was something special, but it was stone ugly," DeGelas said of the Bounder.
"Fleetwood was a huge part of our success in our earlier years," he said. "A lot of what we did was ride their coattails."
Suppliers moved into the neighborhood to surround the RV maker in its heyday, and with more suppliers, other RV companies arrived to wrestle market-share from the industry's giant.
"It was Fleetwood and the rest of us," said Tom Powell, founder of Thor California and now owner of Pacific Coachworks in Riverside.
There had been Fleetwood — "they were the 500-pound ape all over the country," Powell said — and Thor California, Weekend Warrior, National RV, Forest River Inc.and Cobra.
All of those manufacturers, among others, have since been sold, moved or gone out business.
For the RV makers who remain — Powell included — the cost of supplies has gone up as more vendors have been driven out of business.
When Smith came out of retirement, the company already was steeped in debt amassed in the late 1990s. Executives had spent hundreds of millions buying up shops to sell its manufactured homes directly to the public to fend off competitors.
As soon as he returned, Smith started consolidating factories and selling off the housing retail outlets that proved unprofitable, spending the next few years whittling Fleetwood's losses.
But the price of fuel was rising, and by the time it stabilized, global financial unrest took hold last year when Wall Street powerhouse Lehman Brothers failed. The ensuing credit crunch and banks' reluctance to lend made it difficult for consumers to buy RVs, and for dealers to stock their showrooms with new models.
Fleetwood got the cash it needed to survive the winter, but the stock started to free-fall, losing its place on the New York Stock Exchange.
"We were doing all the right things, but we were caught in that once-in-a-lifetime recession," he said.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – For the second time this weekend, UC Santa Barbara erased a first half deficit to claim to an overtime victory, riding the first career goals for Reed McKenna and Kevin Garcia-Lopez to a 2-1 win at UC Irvine's Anteater Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
Extending their season-best winning streak to five games, the Gauchos improved their record to 9-4 (North Division-best 4-0 record in Big West play), while UCI fell to 7-4-2, 2-2.
With wins in their first four Big West games, UCSB is off to its best start in conference play since 2009, when the team went 4-0 out of the gate en route to an eventual 8-1-1 conference record.
It is just the second time since 2005 that the Gauchos have recorded back-to-back overtime wins (Oct. 5-8, 2011 was the other occurence).
Though spotting No. 4 CSUN a goal within the first ten minutes on Friday night was not the best start to a match, UCSB faced perhaps an even tougher uphill climb against the Anteaters on Sunday. UCI struck first with a 31st minute goal, and then the Gauchos went a man down after sophomore Marshall Cazares received a red card in the 53rd minute.
Undeterred, UCSB refocused its offensive efforts and created a number of chances despite the disadvantage. For the whole second half, the Gauchos recorded six shots after being held to zero with a full 11 players in the first half. Junior forward Reed McKenna broke through for the Gauchos with his first collegiate goal in the 62nd minute.
Receiving a feed from freshman midfielder Drew Murphy, McKenna fired a first touch shot just inside the left post to even the score at 1-1.
Murphy took over the team lead in assists with his sixth helper of the season.
Just 11 minutes later, UC Irvine was whistled for a foul in the 18-yard box, giving the Gauchos their second penalty kick of the weekend. However, Reed McKenna's spot kick to the left of UCI keeper Michel Breslin was stopped as the teams headed to overtime with the score still knotted.
After an uneventful first overtime period that saw just two shots from both teams combined, Garcia-Lopez saved the Gauchos from their first tie of the season in the 109th minute. Making a run down the right wing, Garcia-Lopez advanced on and was able to beat the keeper with a shot inside the near post.
It was the first career goal for Garcia-Lopez as well.
Reigning Big West Defensive Player of the Week Josh McNeely continued his strong run of play, making four saves on the way to his eighth win of the season.
UC Irvine's Enrique Cardenas created the game's first goal by running down the left flank and juking before feeding Lester Hayes III, who finished for the score.
The Gauchos will play just one match next week, as they travel to UC Davis to take on the Aggies on Saturday afternoon. Live coverage of that match, including live video and audio broadcasts, can be found here.
