| Leadville Explosion, Fire Under Investigation - News 4 Posted: 23 Jan 2010 01:49 PM PST Leadville Explosion, Fire Under Investigation
Four people were sent to a hospital in Leadville. Lake County Sheriff's deputy Steve James said a fifth person was flown to a hospital in Denver in critical condition. Names and their medical condition were not released Saturday. A series of small explosions happened while the fire burned. A heavily charred section of the building collapsed as firefighters dealt with temperatures that threatened to freeze the water in the hoses. "There were explosions, about 20 of them as far as I know," Leadville resident Betty Benson said. "We saw the puff of smoke come up and we were like, 'What the heck?' By that time the fire engine kicked in and then there was a 'boom,'" witness David Smith said. The former Coca-Cola building now included an auto repair shop, a towing company and a masonry business.

| Tons Of New Content Comes To Atlantica Online - Zam News Posted: 23 Jan 2010 01:14 PM PST With the New Year always comes lots of new stuff! Although Atlantica Online's latest content update may have occurred more in the middle of the month than later, content updates are always cool! With their January update, the team has made some pretty significant changes to their PvP balancing and Colosseum League. In particular, they have increased the HP of main characters and mercenaries, and they've also increased the chances for a double-hit attack to land. Spear Main users may also be overjoyed to learn that their attack power has been increased, and for many Sword Mercenary users, most of their abilities' damage has also been increased. In addition to these PvP balance changes, the team has also decided that players can have up to two Lady Knight and Cannoneer mercenaries. As well, they have decided to unify Mana Stones in Atlantica Online, and now there will only be three stones, the Repair Stones, the Enchant Stones and the Enhance Stones, as opposed to having specific stones for Armor, Accessories and Weapons. And this is just the tip of the iceberg! You can check out the full patch notes below, and you can also download out the game at the Atlantica Online website!

| Slow sales fuel 2 more weeks of GM layoffs - Vindy.com Posted: 23 Jan 2010 02:04 PM PST By Don Shilling Cobalt production is to end about June 24 as attention shifts to the new Chevrolet Cruze. LORDSTOWN — General Motors has added two more weeks of downtime to its Lordstown complex to reduce the supply of Chevrolet Cobalts on dealer lots. GM said previously that the complex would be down for a week in March, but it told union leaders Thursday that two additional weeks were added. Workers will be laid off the weeks of March 1, March 15 and April 19. Tom Mock, a GM spokesman, said the downtime weeks are subject to change but are being scheduled based on current demand and forecasts for coming months. More off weeks in June and July are being considered, said Dave Green, president of United Auto Workers Local 1714 in Lordstown. Those weeks, however, could fall into the traditional summer shutdown weeks, he said. The complex used to be shut down for the first two weeks of July every year, with workers getting paid for the week of July 4 and taking one week of vacation pay for the other. A new national contract allows management to schedule those two weeks anytime between Memorial Day and Labor Day and requires union workers to take two weeks of vacation. The field supply of Cobalts has been running higher than industry targets for some time as sales of the car have slumped along with most of the car market. GM has an 85-day supply of Cobalts, said Jim Graham, president of UAW Local 1112 in Lordstown. Automakers like that number to be at 60. GM sold about 104,700 Cobalts last year, down 44 percent from the 188,000 that were sold in 2008. Both union leaders are expecting better sales ahead as the complex shifts to production of the Chevrolet Cruze. Green said GM plans to end Cobalt production around June 24. That will be the day crews begin work on the last of the Cobalts, he said. Crews will then shift their attention solely to the Cruze, he said. Production will be slow at first to make sure the cars are coming together properly, he said. "Getting it right is essential," he said. Graham said the official launch of the Cruze is to be in August, but GM has only said it will be in the July to September quarter. Green said 31 laid-off workers were recalled this week at the metal fabricating plant at the complex. These were the last of Local 1714 members who had been laid off during the meltdown of car sales in late 2008 and early 2009. The plant has 944 workers on the job, who are preparing for the Cruze launch in addition to making parts for the Cobalt. Local 1112 at the assembly plant has 350 people laid off and 2,400 people who are staffing two shifts. Local 1112 this week reached an agreement with GM on how its local labor contract will be modified to fit the 2007 national contract, which provided cost-saving measures to help the struggling automaker. Negotiators have been bargaining for several months. The national agreement requires all local contracts to comply with at least 93 percent of templates that were created for local plants. Among the changes for Lordstown are moving some work to outside contractors, how paint shop workers are paid and how transfers are handled. Included in the work being sent to outside contractors are the maintenance and installation of cranes and hoists, some repair of electrical and electronic instruments, staffing of the wastewater treatment operation, and the repair or rebuilding of machinery and motors, such as lathes, drill presses and grinders. The union isn't happy about the changes but understands that GM needs to bring its costs down to those of foreign-based automakers, Graham said. "Every plant in the nation is going through the same thing. It's just something we have to do," he said. Local 1714 reached agreement on bringing its local agreement into compliance earlier this month. Membership votes were not required for approval. shilling@vindy.com Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. |
| Mo. launches job site for military veterans - KMOV Posted: 23 Jan 2010 01:35 PM PST
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) -- When Lt. Colonel Alan Rohlfing left active duty for the Missouri National Guard last summer, he had to look for a day job. "That's when I started digging back in," he said. "For those that haven't been job hunting in the last few years it's changed a lot." Rohlfing has been a guardsman and a civilian, an employer and an employee. He will use what he has learned in each of those roles in his new job directing the state's recently launched veteran hiring program, Show Me Heroes. The Show Me Heroes program is designed to bring existing resources together to help connect veterans and employers. The recently started Web site asks employers to pledge to hire veterans and will have a list of open jobs in each region. On Friday, there was one employer listed -- the state -- but Rohlfing said around 30 interested employers have contacted him. These include small businesses, fast-food restaurants and auto repair shops. Rohlfing, who served in both the Active Guard and Reserve and traditional National Guard over 24 years, said the program will help showcase veteran's unique skills such as discipline, work effort and security clearance. "A lot of time employers are not consciously aware of those things," he said. "They're all things that could be an asset to an employer." Rohlfing will be traveling the state talking with business owners, chambers of commerce and Rotary clubs. Businesses that hire veterans can be eligible for tax credits and other benefits. The Internet site points veterans to the Missouri Career Source and career centers around the state that have veterans outreach programs. Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon announced the veterans-job program in his State of the State speech last week. "When I was in Iraq and Afghanistan last summer, the troops invariably asked me two questions, "How is (Albert) Pujols doing?" and "Will there be a job for me when I get home?"' Nixon said.
