INSIDE INDIANA BUSINESS: Elkhart County RV company names new president - NWITimes.com Posted: 11 Sep 2009 09:39 PM PDT Gerry Dick | Posted: Saturday, September 12, 2009 12:00 am Millersburg-based Carriage Inc. has named Don Emahiser president and chief executive officer. He was previously vice president of sales and marketing. Emahiser is an RV industry veteran spending several years in upper management at Starcraft Corp. He has been with Carriage for five years. SIA Marks 20 Years By Ramping Up Production The Subaru of Indiana Automotive Inc. (SIA) plant in Lafayette is entering its third decade by increasing production schedules, in part to replenish dealer inventories that have been reduced due to the federal government's Cash For Clunkers program. SIA Senior Vice President Tom Easterday says one hour of overtime a day has been scheduled for SIA production and 30 minutes for workers on the Toyota Camry line. He also says employees will be working two Saturdays in September and three Saturdays in October to meet demand. FedEx Says Pending Legislation Threatens Indiana Jobs One of the nation's largest shipping operations says legislation passed by the U.S. House of Representatives and headed for the U.S. Senate could threaten thousands of Hoosier jobs. FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX), which operates a hub at Indianapolis International Airport, is at odds with a measure that would change the regulatory status of its employees. Communications Director Maury Lane says the company is currently regulated as an airline, which limits the effects of strikes and requires employees to unionize nationally instead of locally. Raytheon Lays Off Workers in Indianapolis Raytheon Technical Services Co. LLC of Indianapolis has reduced its work force by 77. Spokesman Gerald Petrie says the workers impacted were manufacturing support and the company is focusing more on engineering. He adds Raytheon hired more than 100 engineers and scientists over the last 12 months in Indianapolis. Approximately 1,200 employees work at the east side facility. Hendricks County Company Lands Military Contract The U.S. Defense Logistics Agency has awarded a $17 million contract to C.F. Roark Welding & Engineering Company in Brownsburg. The firm will carry out aircraft exhaust duct service for the U.S. Air Force. Roark has performed work in the past for companies including Raytheon, Rolls-Royce and General Electric. Gaming Study Committee to Discuss Moving Riverboats Moving riverboats in Gary to new locations is one of the topics to be discussed next week by the Senate study Committee on Gaming. Committee Co-Chair Senator Luke Kenley (R-20) says Monday's meeting will examine the economic impact moving the casinos would have on Gary and the entire state. Lawmakers will also address casino and racino tax rates and local revenue distributions. Steel Dynamics Updates Q3 Guidance Fort Wayne-based Steel Dynamics Inc. has revised its third quarter guidance upward. The company expects earnings to be in the range of 20 cents to 25 cents per share, up from a July estimate of 10 cents to 20 cents per share. Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Keith Busse says there has been continued strength in orders for flat-rolled steel and stronger metal recycling volumes.

'Dirt 2' delivers jaw-dropping car racing graphics, physics - Times & Democrat Posted: 11 Sep 2009 09:25 PM PDT The latest driving title, "Dirt 2," represents a changing of the guard for the genre. The torch is being passed from driving legends like rally race legend Colin McRae to a new breed of ESPN "X Game" types. On this title, with its jaw-dropping graphics and solid race physics, it works like a charm. The big names are young upstarts like Travis Pastrana and Dave Mirra, who are no strangers to speed. So it's a good fit. The races are fast and off-road, or at least off intended roads. I played the Xbox 360 version ($60). "Dirt 2" is also available for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable, Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. In one of my first races, I went for the "Baja" series and climbed behind the wheel of a Dodge Power Wagon. Puddles of water hid behind patches of tall grass, and it took a few retries to remember them and avoid spinning out of control. Eventually, I bested a field that included Mirra in the two-lap race, which earned me $66,000 for my career, some new dashboard items and auto accessories. One nice touch: The bobblehead skull I won has wacky eyes that roll around when I banked hard into turns. Where "Dirt 2" leaves the competition behind is in the graphics department. Eye-popping detail and 3-D menus make every twist and turn enjoyable. From the maps and fast-food trash strewn around my touring RV to the loose gravel kicked up on a crusty Croatian outback during a race, I've rarely seen better attention to detail in a racing game. The car handling is exceptional throughout all the difficulty modes. There was a great feel I got for the virtual roads, and the learning curve was challenging, but fair. Races are planned from inside the RV, and the globe-trotting took me from Baja to London to Croatia to Tokyo in the early competitions. Hats off to the folks at Codemasters Studios for perfecting two very important features in "Dirt 2" -- instant restarts and thoroughly enjoyable replays. The restarts are addictive, and they allowed me to improve without watching boring cut scenes while waiting for the green light. There are also races called "Throwdowns," one-on-one affairs against featured drivers. I took on Jayde Taylor in Morocco in a throwdown. I lost to her a dozen times in a row, but she still rewarded me by becoming my friend, which hopefully means she'll give me some driving tips later on. "Dirt 2" is the best driving title I've played in years. Buckle up -- it's a raucous ride. Game is rated "T" for Teen and contains some suggestive themes. Four out of four stars.

New driving game has losers eating dust - Jaw-dropping graphics push ... - Jamaica Gleaner Posted: 11 Sep 2009 10:15 PM PDT The latest driving title, Dirt 2, represents a changing of the guard for the genre.

The restarts are addictive and they allowed me to improve without watching boring cut scenes while waiting for the green light. toggle viewing Race replays are a feature I usually ignore, but here the fast-forward is slick and I could pause and stop on a dime to gaze at the turn I missed. I could also toggle the viewing angles on the replay to put myself on the side of the road or in the driver's seat. Other race types include Gate Crasher, in which I drove a Subaru Impreza STI Group N and bashed through as many yellow barriers as possible in the allotted time. Each barrier bashed earned me a few more seconds on the countdown clock and a better score. There are also races called 'Throwdowns', one-on-one affairs against featured drivers. I took on Jayde Taylor in Morocco in a throwdown. I lost to her a dozen times in a row but she still rewarded me by becoming my friend, which hopefully means she'll give me some driving tips later on.
