More news on manufacturing, this time current. This is an excerpt from  
the article:

Nearly half of the manufacturing industry's 73 subsectors were  
expanding through February, according to the National Association of  
Manufacturers. Manufacturing output rose 1.8 percent in 2007 and is  
forecast to climb to 1.5 percent in 2008 as continued export strength  
cushions the blow of slumping home and automobile sales, said David  
Huether, NAM's chief economist.
