story in the South Bend paper is pretty amazing. It’s about a small plane that landed on a major highway near Notre Dame. ]]>

The Chaplain blog talks about being a first responder to the military hospital near the Mosul attacks. It’s a pretty heavy read as he deals with the wounded, the dying, and the dead. He also dealt with those who still had a bit of humor about them even after seeing the carnage before them. “John”, a First Sergeant, asked me, “How does my face look?” knowing he had been badly burned and would probably have some scaring. He was covered in blood, pus, and charred skin so I said, “First Sergeant, you look better than some people I know back home.” He laughed and we prayed. ]]>

story about Dell and how their engineers are on the assembly line daily trying to find ways to save time and money and produce machines more efficiently. A savings of one screw translates to 4 seconds of production (x 40,000 machines a day, etc). We don’t get this when we outsource. We don’t see the efficiencies–we just get a cheap product. Eventually other countries will be more efficient than the US, simply because they see what is being done on the front lines of production. The labor costs of a PC are “roughly 10 bucks,” Mr. Rollins said, meaning that payroll costs account for maybe 2 percent of the overall cost of the typical Dell PC. Five years ago, it took two workers 14 minutes to build a PC; it now takes a single worker roughly five minutes to do the same. Interesting.]]>
