Back in 2002 or thereabouts, I was on my way to Galena to cover a meeting about U.S. 20. In order to get an interview with U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Springfield, his staff suggested I ride with him in the van they were using. We could talk during the ride from Rockford to Galena, they said.
And so we did talk, some of it for the interview, some not. I talked to him about our Rockford airport, then called Greater Rockford Airport. We'd just lost passenger service, and RFD was being run by a caretaker director who didn't want to do anything risky, or anything at all except manage the status quo.
I asked Durbin whether he thought he could help the airport. Sure, he said, "but you've got to get your act together." In other words, he let me know clearly that it was up to Rockford to decide what help it needed, and that it was not his job to do that.
Durbin was right. When we did get our act together and decided that the airport would be a job-creation machine for the future, the specific "asks" were made. And Durbin delivered, and delivered, and delivered money for runway, taxiway and terminal improvements, including federal funds for jetways, operations and maintenance.
I know it's a political year and the senator is in a re-election campaign, but all politics aside, I like to give credit where credit is due. Without Durbin's clout and considerable work, Monday's announcement of a massive, jumbo jet maintenance facility could not have been made.
Similarly, Gov. Pat Quinn is in a re-election race. But after a succession of governors who did not seem to care much about the Forest City and the region, Quinn also has been a strong backer of the airport .
I'm not making a political endorsement here — that's a job for the Editorial Board, where I have one vote out of seven. What I am saying is that Illinois is a "donor" state, meaning we send much more to Washington, D.C., in taxes than we get back. The states that receive much more than they send are, ironically, states in the poor, but anti-government, South.
So, Illinois should get its share back. And the Rockford airport should get its share from the state of Illinois, especially considering that the state is spending millions on converting a cornfield between Beecher and Peotone into an airport that is not needed.
This doesn't just happen, though. Politics, said Otto Von Bismarck, the first German chancellor, "is the art of the possible." And it doesn't happen without relationships with the people in charge in Washington and Springfield. Historically, Rockford has eschewed making these relationships in the mistaken belief that we could do everything ourselves. That meant that while Peoria was getting expressways galore with the help of U.S. Reps. Bob Michel and Ray LaHood, both Republicans, Rockford got very little, because Rockford didn't ask for much.
Transportation infrastructure is a basic government function and has been since the beginning of the republic in 1789 (when the Constitution was ratified). But as with anything else, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the grease.
We finally learned to squeak. Hooray!

ConnDOT expedites crossing gate installation, PUCO approves four crossing upgradesWritten by Jenifer Nunez, assistant editor
The Connecticut Department of Transportation (ConnDOT) plans to expedite the installation of vehicle warning gates at the Long Ridge Road grade crossing in Redding, Conn.
The gates will be installed at the existing railroad crossing as part of the implementation of Centralized Train Control (CTC) on the Danbury Branch of the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Metro-North Commuter Railroad. The project is currently in construction and it is anticipated that the new gates will be installed and operational by April 30, 2013.
Originally, the railroad gates were to be installed under a local railroad/highway project that included the relocation of the railroad crossing and the realignment of the intersection of Long Ridge Road, Side Cut Road and Simpaug Turnpike. However, environmental and right-of-way issues will delay construction until late 2014.
ConnDOT Commissioner James Redeker said that his agency reviewed the projects and agreed that the gates should be installed without further delay as part of the signalization project, in accordance with the department's commitment to safety. When the roadway realignment is complete, the gates will be relocated to the new site.
"I am glad that the DOT is willing and able to install gates now while the road alignment project continues to move forward," said Redding First Selectman Natalie Ketcham. "Both will provide important safety enhancements at the rail crossing."
In other crossing news, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) approved construction authorization from the Ohio Rail Development Commission directing Norfolk Southern (NS) to install mast-mounted flashing lights and roadway gates at the Oak Street, Maple Street and Madison Road grade crossings in the city of London, Madison County. NS will be responsible for completing the upgrades by Nov. 13, 2013 and funding for the projects will be provided by federal funds.
In addition, PUCO also approved a stipulation directing NS to install flashing lights and warning gates at the Griggs Street grade crossing in the village of Ashville, Pickaway County. The railroad will be responsible for completing construction of this upgrade by Feb.13, 2014 and funding for this project will be provided by federal funds, PUCO and NS.

Mayor Larry Morrissey, in his third term as Rockford's chief executive, wants to ask voters in a citywide referendum to ban labor arbitrators from giving wage increases to city unionized employees if it requires a tax increase to do so.
Aldermen failed by one vote last week to put the measure on the March ballot, but five of the 14 were missing, which is a whole other matter worthy of investigation. The issue will probably appear again Monday.
Gosh, who wouldn't vote for that? Who wants an arbitrator from Pinckneyville or Villa Park carpetbagging into Rockford and ordering City Hall to raise taxes to pay more money to police officers or firefighters?
However, as reporter Greg Stanley explained in his story Thursday, the referendum would be advisory and wouldn't change anything. So what's the point?
The mayor, who has had a rocky relationship with the police and fire unions, wants to raise visibility of the issue in hopes of changing the state's arbitration system. But any changes would have to be made at the state level, and the state is controlled by Democrats, whose core voters work for governments and belong to government employee unions.
In Illinois, police officers and firefighters can't strike for obvious public safety reasons. So if the city and union can't come to terms, an outside arbitrator is brought in to settle the dispute.
As Stanley pointed out, both sides must agree to the specific arbitrator, and "since 2006, arbitration decisions have been virtually even, falling in a union's favor 51 percent of the time and in a municipality's favor 49 percent of the time, a Register Star review showed."
So, if an arbitrator ruled for one side most of the time, she'd end up with no work. Arbiters in Illinois have to be politically and fiscally sophisticated to survive in a thankless job. Cities are stretched to the max on their budgets. If they raise taxes too high, their taxpayers migrate elsewhere, usually to nearby, lower-taxed suburbs.
It's an endless downward spiral that leads to ... Detroit.
That's been happening in Rockford for decades, and it's beginning to hurt city services.
Despite the squeeze, Rockford's elected leaders have been sensible, making hard cuts to city departments to keep property taxes as reasonable as possible while balancing the budget. Yes, we can enact a 5 percent utility tax, as the police union suggested. But that would be a zero-sum game, sending even more taxpaying homeowners and businesses to friendlier confines.
I applaud Morrissey's intent, but I don't think an advisory referendum would mean anything to the permanent government in Springfield. I've observed many Senate and House hearings over the years. Whenever the hearing deals with issues important to police officers and firefighters, their unions turn out their troops to sit there in their dress uniforms. They look like Sherman's army ready to burn Atlanta. This can be intimidating to lawmakers, which is the intent.
Results of an advisory referendum from "Isn't Rockford in Wisconsin" would have no influence at such a hearing because a referendum can't contribute thousands of dollars to legislators' election campaigns.
Instead of a referendum, maybe we should take up a collection for their campaign coffers. It would do more good.
Unless there's a complete Republican takeover of Springfield in November - not likely to happen - we're going to have to live with the arbitration system we've got. Morrissey can build coalitions with other cities through the Illinois Municipal League, headed this year by Loves Park Mayor Darryl Lindberg, to try to make changes.
Also, the city administration and unions should work together to heal as many rifts as possible. I agree with a point made by Ald. Tom McNamara, D-3, in Stanley's story: A referendum isn't needed to show that people don't like tax increases.
"I don't think an arbitrator should tell us what we can or can't afford, but I think working to repair any broken relations with the unions would be a far greater use of time than passing something like this."

Patient, Team-First Senior Leaders Honored
Randy York's N-Sider
Whoever said potential has a shelf life must have had Ron Kellogg III in mind, and for those who like to see teamwork and perseverance rewarded, you have to like the way Andrew Green has parlayed three years of secondary experience into his new home at safety. Kellogg and Green arrived at Nebraska on different paths, but in their fifth season as Huskers, they share a couple of fundamental traits – patience and a team-first mindset. Those important leadership qualities helped both earn a Nebraska Player of the Game honor following last Saturday's 44-7 Husker mastery of Purdue in West Lafayette, Ind.
A senior walk-on quarterback from Omaha Westside High School, Kellogg was named Nebraska's Offensive Player of the Game. A highly recruited senior safety from San Antonio, Green was named the Huskers' Defensive Player of the Game. Three teammates shared the Special Teams Player of the Game award – Mauro Bondi, a sophomore kicker from Boca Raton, Fla.; Michael Rose, a redshirt freshman linebacker from Kansas City; and Colby Starkebaum, a senior linebacker from Sterling, Colo. Scout Team Players of the Week were Adam Taylor, a freshman I-back from Katy, Texas (Offense); Joey Felici, a junior cornerback from Millard, Neb. (Defense); and Chris Weber, a freshman linebacker from Elkhorn, Neb. (Special Teams).
Kellogg's Greatest Strength: His Calming Influence
Kellogg came off the bench behind Tommy Armstrong Jr. and completed 10 of 13 passes for 141 yards and an eight-yard touchdown pass to senior wide receiver Quincy Enunwa at Purdue. "He's been patient and waiting for his time," Nebraska Offensive Coordinator Tim Beck said Tuesday of Kellogg. "His demeanor has a calming effect on our team, and his experience has helped him see all the things you need to see. Purdue did a lot of things we hadn't prepared for, and we really needed his calming influence. His ability to recognize and execute all the things we needed him to execute got us in the right place. He's just a team-first guy."
Nebraska Secondary Coach Terry Joseph had equally high praise for Green, who finished with four solo tackles, one stop behind David Santos, the Huskers' leading tackler at Purdue. "Andrew has done a really good job for us, especially the last two weeks. He's really played at a different speed and tackled a lot better," Joseph said Tuesday. "Here's a guy who changed positions at the end of spring ball because he was willing to do what was best for the team. That's really Andrew's personality … a true team guy when it comes to how we want to use him. He's probably been one of the unsung heroes of our defense this season."
Versatility the Result of Green's Change to Safety
For Green, patience has been a virtue, even though he has been a regular part of Nebraska's secondary rotation for three consecutive years, including a junior season that included 12 personal starts. "Andrew has had an up-and-down career, but he's a smart guy who's already graduated," Joseph said. "We figured if anybody could adjust to a different position, even at this stage, it would be Andrew. Moving has really helped his versatility. He already knew how to play corner and now he knows how to play safety. He can also play the dime position, so against spread teams, his experience playing multiple positions really comes in handy. He has a better understanding and gives us more options. His reads are faster. That gives him more confidence and allows him to be in better position to make more plays."
Kellogg is your classic case of things turning out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out. The 2009 Nebraska Scout Team MVP of the Year has seen his share of bench time and road blocks, but for him, Nebraska football has never been an obstacle course. The game, in fact, has been his own personal training ground for life. Saturday's Purdue experience was a booster shot for Kellogg's confidence. "He loves Nebraska, and he loves playing here," Beck said. "He loves being around his teammates every day at practice and always puts them ahead of himself. I've always told him we had a lot of confidence in him, and there would come a time when we really needed him, and he was going to have to step up and take full advantage of it."
Bondi, Rose, Starkebaum All Play Special Roles
Bondi is playing the ultimate teammate role well himself. At Purdue, he averaged 65 yards for six kickoffs. Three were touchbacks and the other three were in the same altitude category. "He's kicked extremely well for us kicking off," Nebraska Special Teams/Linebacker Coach Ross Els said. "Every time that he had the wind behind him, even if it was a small wind, he kicked that ball so far out of the end zone, they couldn't think of trying to bring it back. The touchbacks have been a big plus for us. Another thing he did really well was kicking into the wind, even if wasn't strong. He was getting the ball placed where we needed it and getting it placed fairly deep. When he wasn't kicking it out of the end zone, it was five to seven yards deep. We need that ball placed in a certain spot. We don't just take that deep and react to it. Where he placed the ball outside the hash was near the numbers where we wanted it and helped everyone."
Starkebaum's and Rose's aggressive play on special teams helped them share the Player of the Game award with Bondi. "Both got the award for the same reason," Els said. "Those two made the tackles on the kickoffs that were returned down deep from their own territory." Starkebaum got the credit for two solo tackles on deep kickoffs, but film showed Rose was in the same place on both stops. "Those two kids did a good job of getting around their guy and throwing their face in there and making the tackle. That's why both earned that honor. They set a tone, and it was encouraging for our defense to see Purdue snapping the ball on the 15 or 20. Our players like it and the crowd likes it. It's a big momentum factor all the way around."

BOSTON, Mass. – Paced by an offensive unit firing on all cylinders, the eighth-ranked Blue Devils downed Boston University by a 3-1 score Sunday afternoon at the Terriers' New Balance Field. With the win, Duke improved to 13-4 overall and completed a 2-0 road trip to Boston after claiming a 2-1 overtime victory at No. 7 Boston College Saturday.
Head coach Pam Bustin's squad also finished the non-conference regular season portion of its slate with an impressive 9-2 ledger.
"Today's game was equally as competitive as yesterday's but just in a real different way," Bustin said. "I was really proud of the way our team kept possession. Anything that was loose, the team really jumped on it to keep it on a Duke stick."
Graduate student Cherry Seaborn got the Blue Devils off to a fast start offensively, knocking in a rebound after hitting the post on her previous shot. Her tally in the sixth minute marked her sixth goal of the season. However, the Terriers responded just a couple of plays later, as Sofi Laurito tied the match on a reverse stick drive just inside the post.
"We just shored up the defense and kind of calmed down a little bit and really focused on keeping the ball above the 50," Bustin said. "Any kind of defensive organization we created, we wanted to do it as high in the field as possible and that allowed us to keep possession up in our end of the field."
Duke maintained its intensity on the scoring end and regained the lead in the 15th minute when freshman Hunter Bracale sent a pass inside the circle to senior Emmie Le Marchand for a goal. Both teams had additional opportunities, with the Blue Devils earning a penalty corner just before the halftime whistle, but the score remained 2-1 in Duke's favor at the intermission.
The visiting squad led in shots, 7-4, and held a 3-2 edge in penalty corners during the first 35 minutes of play.
Redshirt sophomore goalkeeper Lauren Blazing and the Blue Devil defense weathered four shots and two penalty corner opportunities for Boston University in the first 10 minutes of the second period. A penalty corner for Duke in the 55th minute resulted in Le Marchand's second score of the day and team-leading 10th of the year, as she redirected the ball in front of the cage to push the margin to two at 3-1. Junior Jessica Buttinger was credited with her fourth assist of the season on the play.
The Blue Devil defense continued to cut off looks by the Terriers and remained stalwart the rest of the way to seal the road win.
Each team totaled 11 shots in the contest while Duke led in penalty corners by a 7-5 margin. Lauren Blazing registered three saves, with all three coming in the second half, and Boston University's Valentina Cerda had one stop in the loss.
"It's always a huge challenge to win on the road," Bustin said. "But I think when you're coming up into a different climate and two very good opponents, I'm extremely proud of the way our kids stayed on the grind."
Following this weekend's road trip, the Blue Devils return home to host ACC foe Maryland Saturday, Nov. 2 at 1 p.m. at Williams Field at Jack Katz Stadium. The program's eight seniors will be honored at that contest.

LEADERSHIP TEAM REMAINS THE SAME: As the 2013 session begins to gear up, House Speaker Robert DeLeo chose to reappoint the same leadership team that he had in 2012. They include Majority Leader Ronald Mariano, D-Quincy; Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad, D-Somerset; Assistant Majority Leader Byron Rushing, D-Boston and Second Assistant Majority Leader Kathi-Anne Reinstein, D-Revere. He also renamed Rep. Brian Dempsey, D-Haverhill, as chairman of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.
THE GOVERNOR AND A.G. ARE BACK ON THE RADIO: When former talk-radio-station WTKK changed its format from talk to music, the talk-show hosts were not the only ones who were pulled off the air. For several years, Patrick and Attorney General Martha Coakley had both appeared monthly on the show hosted by Jim Braude and Margery Eagan. They lost their gig when the station changed formats. But now they'll be back as Braude and Eagan have landed a new gig on public radio's WGBH 89.7 from noon to 2 p.m. beginning Feb. 25.
ELECTIONS GALORE IN A NON-ELECTION YEAR: For an off-election year, there are an unusual number of vacant seats and special elections in the state. The big one is the special election to fill the Senate vacated by John Kerry's departure to become President Barack Obama's secretary of state. The primary is April 30 and the general election is June 25. Other special elections include a March 5 primary and April 7 general election to fill the seats of the late Rep. Joyce Spiliotis of Danvers, who died Nov. 29 and former Rep. Stephen Smith of Everett, who resigned, as well as a May 28 primary and June 25 final to replace former Rep. Marty Walz of Boston and former Sen. Jack Hart of Boston, both of whom resigned to accept jobs in the private sector.
HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK'S SESSION? During the week of Feb. 4-8, the House met for a total of seven hours and 49 minutes while the Senate met for a total of three hours and 48 minutes.
Bob Katzen welcomes feedback at firstname.lastname@example.com.

One in a series of stories about local manufacturing.
Sitting on the showroom floor, the V-8s or the turbochargers or the horsepower of this year's shiny new models may get the most attention.
But without the littlest of parts made right here in Kirksville, drivers would be unable to open, or even unlock, their car doors.
Whether domestic or foreign, some of the smallest, most pedestrian parts of an automobile start their lives at local auto-parts manufacturer Ortech and its Kirksville facility.
The plant, located in the city's Industrial Park, manufactures automotive parts like car locksets, door handles, switches and keyless entry fobs.
Ortech in Kirksville employs about 24 full-time employees with an approximate annual payroll of about $700,000, according to Jon Hurd, Ortech Human Resources manager.
The Kirksville plant is owned by U-Shin Japan, an international manufacturer that primarily focuses on automotive components, and is the company's sole U.S. facility.
Ortech has been in Kirksville since 1988 and ships its products across the world with their final destinations primarily in domestically-manufactured automobiles like Fords, Mitsubishis and Volkswagens.

I don't know about anybody else, but I am worried sick about the Bills. I think this game has trap with a capitol T written all over it....
As TopekaRoy pointed out in another thread, the last 2 games we have allowed the Browns and the Texans 92% of their average points per game. Much worse than the 50 or so % we had been averaging. And the Browns and Texans are two of the better teams we have faced.
The Bills are 3-5, but they have played some good teams......Their losses have been to the Patriots, Jets, Browns, Bengals and Saints. Those are NOT easy teams. Their wins have been against the Panthers, Ravens and Dolphins and none of them are pushovers.
The Bills have scored 176 points for an average of 22 points per game. And they have done it against some pretty good teams....not the NFC East. If they score 92% of their average for the first 8 games then they will score 20 or 21 points against us. The most we have allowed this season. And the Bills will be playing at home so I can see that being good for an extra 3 points. So maybe 23 or 24 points.
The Bills have allowed 213 points this season for an average of 27 points per game. And as I said above, that has been against some pretty good teams.
I think we are going to need a MINIMUM of 25 points to win this game. In their 5 losses the Bills opponents have scored an average of 30 points per game to get the win and I don't see us putting up 30 points.
I think the Bills are going to be our toughest opponent yet and they always play us tough.
I REALLY want us to go into the bye week 9-0, but I AM VERY WORRIED ABOUT THIS GAME.
Your thoughts?

Android is the operating system that powers over 1 billion smartphones and tablets. Since these devices make our lives so sweet, each Android version is named after a dessert: Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb, Ice Cream Sandwich, and Jelly Bean. As everybody finds it difficult to stay away from chocolate we decided to name the next version of Android after one of our favorite chocolate treats, Kitkat!
Not a whole lot of information just yet. The page says "It's our goal with Android KitKat to make an amazing Android experience available for everybody", which could mean either a focus on lower-end, cheaper devices, improved support for more form factors such as laptops, or both.
As for the name - the BBC reports that Nestle is okay with Android using the KitKat name, and that no money is exchanging hands. A deal was reached within 24 hours.

Lion guard Joe Schneider gives up one sport to return to another
After every game, every practice, the pain worsened.
The toils of being a starting quarterback were literally beating Joe Schneider into the ground, and his back was taking the brunt of it.
Eventually, the cause and consequences from the injury came to a head.
A stress fracture had developed around the Lansing sophomore's spinal column near the end of the 2011 football season.
The injury would stick with him over the next nine months, and ultimately, force him to choose between two loves — football or basketball.
"It was very hard," Schneider said. "I love football. I just decided it was the best decision for me though, because basketball's my favorite sport."
* * * * *
The date is now Jan. 2, 2013. The Lansing boys' basketball team sits at a perfect 7-0 and in position to make another run at returning to the state tournament for the third straight year.
Leading the Lions is Schneider, who's 12.7 points per game average is a team high. The junior has been on the varsity basketball squad all three of his years at Lansing High.
However, that streak almost crumpled just last season.
Throughout his sophomore campaign, Schneider suffered major back pains due to a stress fracture from football that caused him to miss most of the basketball season.
"It was terrible," Schneider said. "I hated watching, having to sit and watch my team. Especially with us having so much success, you just wanted to be a part of it."
The back injury plagued him all season. Eventually, the Lion star went through extensive physical therapy.
"It was about a month and a half of a back brace; physical therapy for about a month and a half and then activity for a little bit," Schneider said. "I slowly started to get back into the routine of things.
"It was real tough because after the back brace, my whole core was real weak. Physical therapy was real tough. When I got back, I was definitely a lot slower. I lost a lot skill wise too from sitting out so long."
Despite the struggles, Schneider was able to overcome the pain, thanks in large part to his support system at home.
"My parents always tried to keep it positive," the junior guard said. "They told me it was all going to end okay and I'd be back healthy sooner or later."
Sports, and the injuries that come with them, was customary for the family. Schneider's older brother, Calvin, led Lansing to the Class 5A state semifinals during his senior year in 2011. Joe was a freshman on that squad.
"He always jokes around that he taught me everything I know," the younger Schneider said, "but really, without him I would not be where I'm at now. He helped me through a lot."
* * * * *
In the future, the Lansing junior is hoping to make the jump to the next level and play college ball. He is already drawing interest from several Division I and II programs.
But that will have to wait for another day. Presently, the now healthy Lion has only one goal currently on his mind — a state title.
"I think we definitely have the talent," Schneider said. "We just have to play together as a team and buy into coach Briggs' system. That and defense will help us to a state championship."

Deutsche Grammophon signs Exclusive Recording-Agreement with Virtuoso Anoushka ShankarHamburg, May 2011. Deutsche Grammophon is pleased to announce the signing of an exclusive recording-agreement with the internationally acclaimed sitarist, composer, and conductor Anoushka Shankar.
The daughter and disciple of maestro Ravi Shankar has been hailed as "a new breed of super-musician, classically trained in two traditions" (Japan Times). The BBC Music Magazine has observed that "Anoushka looks set to be as important as her father". Anoushka's first Deutsche Grammophon recording, titled Traveller — showcasing the evolutionary bridge between flamenco and Indian music — is produced by the noted Spanish musician, songwriter, and producer Javier Limón and features renowned Indian and flamenco musicians in this beautiful, ground-breaking musicological collaboration.
Following the album's autumn 2011 release there will be a comprehensive tour of Europe (November-December 2011), India (January 2012), as well as the US (in the spring 2012). Anoushka Shankar was born in London, where she now resides with her husband, director Joe Wright and their son Zubin. By the time she was seven-years old she was also living for extended periods in India and California.
The only artist to be comprehensively trained by her father, Anoushka has been playing and studying the sitar with him since she was nine. At the age of thirteen she made her performing debut in New Delhi — she then entered the studio for the first time to play on her father's recording, In Celebration.
Her first solo recording, Anoushka (1998), was released to critical acclaim. The albums Anourag followed in 2000 and Live at Carnegie Hall in 2001 — the latter bringing her a Grammy® nomination in the category "Best World Music Album" (the youngest artist ever to receive that distinction). Having firmly established herself in Indian classical music, Anoushka then began experimenting with a fertile crossover mix of Indian and Western musical styles, first on her Grammy®-nominated, self-composed and -produced Rise, then on the collaborative project Breathing Under Water.
She has appeared on several other CDs, including Sting's Sacred Love, Nitin Sawhney's London Undersound, Herbie Hancock's The Imagine Project, and Joshua Bell's At Home with Friends.
Anoushka has spent much of each year since the age of fourteen touring Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America, as a classical sitarist — and since 2007 with her experimental group "The Anoushka Shankar Project".
She has also shared the stage with artists such as Peter Gabriel, Herbie Hancock, Elton John, Madonna, Nina Simone, Sting, and James Taylor — and in 2008 made a five-city duet tour of India with the legendary rock band, Jethro Tull.
A champion of her father's sitar concertos, in 1997 she performed Concerto no. 1 with Zubin Mehta and the London Symphony Orchestra, presenting it more recently at the Prague Spring Festival and at the London Proms with the BBC Symphony Orchestra. In 2009 she premiered Concerto no. 3 to great acclaim at Carnegie Hall with the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra. Other premiere performances of her father's works include a composition for sitar and cello with cellist Mstislav Rostropovich at the Evian Festival in 1999, Mood Circle at the World Economic Forum in New York in 2002, Nivedan at the Healing the Divide benefit in New York in 2003, and the Symphony with the London Philharmonic at the Royal Festival Hall in 2010.
Anoushka made her public conducting debut in New Delhi premiering her father's composition Kalyan — and served as conductor with him and George Harrison on the 1997 recording Chants of India. In November 2002, she took part in the historic memorial concert for Harrison at the Royal Albert Hall.
In recognition of her artistry and musicianship, the British Parliament presented Anoushka with a House of Commons Shield in 1998. The Indian Television Academy, Asmi, and India Times chose her as one of four "Women of the Year" in India in 2003 — and in 2004 she was selected as one of twenty "Asian Heroes" by the Asia edition of Time magazine.
Michael Lang, President of Deutsche Grammophon, says of this new collaboration: "We are thrilled to welcome Anoushka Shankar to Deutsche Grammophon. She follows in her illustrious father's footsteps as she brings her virtuosity and musicianship to our label. Her debut album, Traveller, is a landmark recording — one that will transcend the borders of world music."
On signing this agreement, Anoushka Shankar said: "It means so much to me to be able to bring my work to a label that has presented some of my father's most beautiful recordings. I look forward to this new opportunity to explore and express the music I love." Anoushka Shankar is represented by Sulivan Sweetland for Europe, Opus 3 Artists for North/South America, Asia (ex India), and Australia, and Alchemist for India and associated territories.

Recently purchased the Sweet Potato Butter and absolutely love it!! My husband bakes cheesecakes and plans to use it too. I tried it on my breakfast multigrain toast and nothing else! Definitely will purchase more.

I thought it would be better or at least as good as the pumpkin butter that I make; it wasn't. It had an after taste that I did not care for when eaten by itself. It was pretty good on bread.

This is good as well as "good for the eyes". I've always enjoyed meals with this veg included. I'm going to try it that way with some spices added & how about marshmallows? I like applebutter as well, eating it on toast at breakfast, so I will experiment with it too. The 1st taste has a vinegary taste but haven't looked at contents yet. Thanks for teaching me about the foods I would have never known without "AvantiSovia". These are my words as I didn't read yours until I got through.

A Union Pacific freight train collided with a pickup truck early Friday at an uncontrolled railroad crossing in Fort Lupton, triggering an explosion and killing the male driver.
The northbound train dragged the pickup truck about 75 yards before it broke apart and two flaming pieces continued to burn, said Fort Lupton Fire Chief Phil Tiffany.
No train personnel were injured and the train itself did not catch on fire, Tiffany said.
Fort Lupton firefighters were called at 4:57 a.m. They first went to the engine at County Road 8 ½ and then spotted the fully engulfed pickup cab.
The firefighters quickly extinguished what was left of the cab, then raced back to the train engine a half mile down the track and put out the portion of the pickup that was still clinging to the nose of the train.
The name of the victim has not been released.
The train was carrying a mixed load of freight, Tiffany said.
He said the intersection of County Road 8 and the train tracks only has stop signs and no railroad bars that come down as a train approaches.
"It's one of those things where you always need to be aware of what's around you," Tiffany said. "Never take for granted that there is not a train coming at any train intersection. Always stop and look both ways."
He said people are inundated with so many distractions including cellular phones that they aren't always paying attention to what's around them.

MONTREAL — A polling company employed by the federal Conservative party has been censured by the marketing research industry for a telephone campaign it conducted a year ago in Mount Royal riding that led some to think Liberal MP Irwin Cotler was resigning.
An independent three-member complaints panel struck by the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association (MRIA) concluded that the member firm, Ontario-based Campaign Research Inc., violated provisions of the MRIA's Code of Conduct and Good Practice.
The MRIA received seven formal complaints from people who had been polled by Campaign Support, at the time a division of Campaign Research, in the fall of 2011.
Campaign Research was hired by the Conservatives to identify potential voters in Mount Royal, which has been a Liberal stronghold since the 1940s.
The callers were instructed to follow a script identifying themselves as working for Campaign Support on behalf of the Conservative party. They then were to ask if Prime Minister Stephen Harper could count on their support in "the upcoming election."
If the call recipients asked what election they were referring to (a federal election had been held the previous May), they were to say: "Some people are suggesting that the current MP may retire, so we're calling on behalf of Prime Minister Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada to ask you if you would consider supporting the Conservative Party of Canada if there is a byelection."
Cotler, the MP since 1999, was adamant at the time that he was not stepping down. Incensed, he made a formal complaint in the House of Commons, claiming his ability to carry out his parliamentary duties had been impeded by what he viewed as a misinformation campaign by the Tories.
Speaker Andrew Scheer did not find a breach of privilege for technical reasons, but called the phone campaign "reprehensible."
The MRIA's sanction of Campaign Research also relates to public statements made by the company's head in the extensive media coverage of the issue.
"The complaints panel concluded that through its acts, omissions, and public statements, Campaign Research violated Principle 2 [Public Confidence]… and that the firm has likely diminished public confidence in the marketing research industry," the MRIA announced on Nov. 28.
The sanction of censure is basically a public reprimand, and is one penalty lighter than suspension from the MRIA.
Speaking in the House of Commons, Liberal Leader Bob Rae said in the House of Commons that the Conservatives must now cut all ties with Campaign Research, which he criticized for its "underhanded tactics" in Mount Royal.
He also wanted to know from the government who wrote the script used in the phone calls.
Government House Leader Peter Van Loan responded indirectly that Scheer's ruling last December had resolved the matter.
"It is a settled issue insofar as the internal management of a private sector marketing organization," Van Loan said. "That is not a question for this House."
In a statement, Cotler said he feels "vindicated" by the MRIA's finding.
"Today's decision is a vindication of the wrongdoing that occurred, and amplifies the finding of the speaker [Scheer] that these tactics were 'reprehensible'."
Cotler still wants an apology from the Conservatives, something they have declined to make up until now.

CHICAGO – Once again Illinois lawmakers are considering a list of tax breaks and other incentives to keep some companies in state and attract others – would-be deals that even many supporters say the state needs a more comprehensive method to scrutinize in the future.
The most widely publicized would give up to $24 million to an agribusiness giant, Archer Daniels Midland Company, to keep a new global headquarters in the state. Another would give breaks to the company that emerges from the soon-to-be-completed merger of OfficeMax Inc. and Office Depot Inc., if it chooses Illinois as it headquarters rather than Florida.
Others would give perks to makers of online video games and a chemical distribution company contemplating moving its headquarters to Illinois.
Lawmakers meeting this week in the fall legislative session are typically under pressure to act. But there's no certainty the packages would be approved if they're called for a vote. Illinois' troubled finances make the timing difficult and there are still some doubts about the wisdom of big deals the state has offered other companies in recent years.
Even if some of the proposed incentives are approved, some lawmakers say there's a feeling in Springfield that a harder look is needed at how Illinois grants tax incentives and other perks.
"There are some of us, we talk about it a lot. We'd love to make it happen," said state Rep. David Harris, an Arlington Heights Republican. "It's not going to happen in the next two weeks, I can tell you that, but it does need to happen."
The state's primary tools for businesses it's either trying to keep in Illinois or recruit to the state are so-called EDGE tax credits. Officials with the Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity tout how the credits come with job-creation or retention requirements and provisions that require companies to give money back if those goals aren't met.
Economists – most of whom don't like the tax breaks – say that seldom if ever are such incentives a deciding factor in whether a company relocates. But with the difficult economy in recent years and rival states' governors making highly publicized appeals to lure away companies and jobs, politicians find themselves in a position where it's exceedingly difficult to say no.
Illinois' almost $100 billion in unfunded pension liabilities, multibillion-dollar backlog in payments to service providers and 2011 temporary income tax increase make the state particularly vulnerable.
"I can see where it's like having a gun to your head, and what are we going to do?" said Therese McGuire, a professor of management and strategy at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
In 2011, Illinois agreed to a deal worth several hundred-million dollars for Sears Holdings Corp. and CME Group Inc., which operates the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, after both threatened to leave the state. The deal was paired with an earned income tax credit for average Illinoisans to make it more appealing.
Among the incentives deals that could come up during this week's session in Springfield:
— Under ADM's plan to establish a new global headquarters outside Decatur, the city will keep thousands of jobs, but 100 at the top of the company are going elsewhere. Chicago is considered a top contender among a number of interested cities, and Illinois lawmakers quickly put together a $24 million incentives package.
State Sen. Andy Manar, a Bunker Hill Democrat, last week added an amendment requiring that the company create more jobs in Decatur, a proposal the company supported. But Gov. Pat Quinn has promised to veto the ADM package unless lawmakers fix the pension crisis first.
— Officials aren't yet discussing the exact value of the OfficeMax request, but the Naperville-based company would have to retain about 2,000 jobs and create about 200 more. Company officials plan to make a decision where to base a new headquarters by the end of the year.
— Zurich North America insurance wants a payroll tax break in exchange for relocating its Schaumburg offices to another location in Schaumburg. The company would retain 1,000 jobs, create at least 250 more and make capital investments of at least $128 million.
— Univar, a chemical distribution company based in Redmond, Wash., is seeking incentives worth $5 million to move its headquarters to Downers Grove. Univar would keep 100 jobs at its two current Illinois locations and add at least 69 jobs.
— Fred Crespo, a Hoffman Estates Democrat, is pushing incentives legislation for High Voltage Software, a video-game maker in his district. The bill would give the company tax credits it says it needs to compete with mainly Canadian competitors.
Barbara Flynn Currie of Chicago, the second-ranking Democrat in the Illinois House, has called the requests for such tax breaks the equivalent of blackmail. But she says she isn't sure the General Assembly can do anything more ambitious to evaluate the incentives in a larger, systematic way.
"Legislating that, you can't do," she said. "It becomes very difficult if there are companies out there that want to use those incentives."
But Manar believes legislation Quinn signed into law in May will provide at least a start. The law, which Manar sponsored, requires DCEO to develop an economic plan for the state by mid-2014 and update it every year, including a review of tax credits and how they're handled.
"Clearly it's a necessary piece," Manar said. "I'm anxious to see how we can make it better."
The bills are HB2536, HB3271, HB381, HB382 and HB383.

|Office of the Attorney General - State of Texas
John Cornyn
August 6, 1999
Ms. Joanne Wright
Dear Ms. Wright:
You ask whether certain information is subject to required public disclosure under the Public Information Act, chapter 552 of the Government Code. Your request was assigned ID# 128177.
You assert that section 552.103 of the Government Code excepts from disclosure the requested information. Section 552.103(a) of the Government Code reads as follows:
(a) Information is excepted from [required public disclosure] if it is information:
(1) relating to litigation of a civil or criminal nature or settlement negotiations, to which the state or a political subdivision is or may be a party or to which an officer or employee of the state or a political subdivision, as a consequence of the person's office or employment, is or may be a party; and
(2) that the attorney general or the attorney of the political subdivision has determined should be withheld from public inspection.
A governmental body has the burden of providing relevant facts and documents to show the applicability of an exception in a particular situation. The test for establishing that section 552.103(a) applies is a two-prong showing that (1) litigation is pending or reasonably anticipated, and (2) the information at issue is related to that litigation. University of Tex. Law Sch. v. Texas Legal Found., 958 S.W.2d 479 (Tex. App.--Austin, 1997, no pet.); Heard v. Houston Post Co., 684 S.W.2d 210 (Tex. App.--Houston [1st Dist.] 1984, writ ref'd n.r.e.); Open Records Decision No. 588 (1991). In this instance, you have made the requisite showing that the requested information relates to litigation for purposes of section 552.103(a).(1) The requested records therefore may be withheld from public disclosure.
We note that if the opposing party in the litigation has seen or had access to any of the information in these records, there is no section 552.103(a) interest in withholding that information from the requestor. Open Records Decision Nos. 349 (1982), 320 (1982). In addition, the applicability of section 552.103(a) ends once the litigation concludes. Attorney General Opinion MW-575 (1982); Open Records Decision No. 350 (1982). However, if the records contain information that is confidential by law, you must not release such information even at the conclusion of the litigation. Gov't Code §§ 552.101, .352.
In light of our conclusion under section 552.103(a), we need not address the applicability of other exceptions, if any. We are resolving this matter with this informal letter ruling rather than with a published open records decision. This ruling is limited to the particular records at issue under the facts presented to us in this request and may not be relied upon as a previous determination regarding any other records. If you have questions about this ruling, please contact our office.
Ruth H. Soucy
Ref.: ID# 128177
Encl: Submitted documents
cc: Mr. Les Mendelsohn
1. If a governmental body submits to this office a "representative sample" of the requested records, we assume that the sample submitted is truly representative of the requested records as a whole. See Open Records Decision Nos. 499 (1988), 497 (1988) (where requested documents are numerous and repetitive, governmental body should submit representative sample; but if each record contains substantially different information, all must be submitted). When a representative sample of the requested information is submitted to this office, the open records letter ruling does not reach, and therefore does not authorize the withholding of any other requested records to the extent that those records contain substantially different types of information than that submitted to this office.

I wonder what it would look like black with a dark purple in the cuts.
That does look pretty sweet!

WOW. That thing looks great man. I think the only thing that I'd change is have the front extend a little farther forward so that it goes at least to the front of a standard rail and then just cut an angle on the front the front like the no rises. Other than that if I had the cash I'd pick one up. Probably one of the nicer custom bodies I've seen.

Hmm, are there any plans in the works for a rail to be milled to complement the Chord body? I definitely want one of the Chord bodies, but I'm gonna have to wait until I get the money (and another classic, ReTro, or X valve). A complementary rail would be the icing on the cake, though.

For a documentary subject as forceful as Elaine Stritch, filmmakers may need to turn to nature — a typhoon might do it — to find anything approximate. Even the camera must warily keep its distance in "Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me." She warns its operator when he gets too close: "I don't know whether this is a skin commercial, or what."
Stritch captivates just walking down the street: greeting fans, chastising cabs, swaying to the music of the sidewalk. "I wish I could f—ing drive," she says at the opening of the documentary. "Then I'd really be a menace."
The strong types usually seen in movies— caped men with powers, action heroes with six-packs — have nothing on this long-legged, 89-year-old New York broad. Stritch, who has long eschewed pants of any sort, has the kind of ferocious voice that old age can't quiet.
Chiemi Karasawa's "Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me" is an irresistibly entertaining documentary that captures Stritch during what she unsentimentally calls "almost post-time." After seven decades performing in New York — on Broadway, in countless cabaret nights at the Cafe Carlyle — Stritch's enormous energy has been knocked by the increasing years, diabetes, and surgeries on her hip and eyes.
But "Shoot Me," made over the last few years, is a document not of Stritch's dwindling, but of her feisty persistence. As the film shows, she has trouble remembering lyrics and sometimes struggles to get out of bed. At home and during rehearsals, it chronicles her grand exit from New York, her home since she was 17, and her decision to retire back to Michigan.
Stritch is a paragon of old-fashioned show business: A brassy and blunt survivor of New York theater life. More than a decade ago, the New York Landmarks Conservancy named her a living landmark.
"I like the courage of age," she declares.
Karasawa shoots Stritch in intimate, unglamorous situations, most notably one night in a hospital bed with curlers in her hair, chastened by a health scare: "It's time for me," she says. "I can feel it everywhere."
A theatrical being down to her soul, Stritch is often a fascinating companion, throwing off such candid reflections, joining an elevator operator in song, or miming a limp to avoid a parking ticket in the Hamptons. But she is also, unquestionably, a handful.
Her needs are many, which her musical director Rob Bowman patiently tries to meet. She repeatedly criticizes the documentary's very own cameraman, ordering him to more aggressively shoot her unpacking a box of her cherished English muffins.
The question of how taxing it is to work with Stritch is unavoidable. D.A. Pennebaker's 1970 documentary on the cast recording of "Company" showed her sparring with Stephen Sondheim. In "Shoot Me," we glimpse a letter from Woody Allen before they shot the film "September," warning her of overly dramatic behavior and requesting that she "keep the questioning to a rock-bottom minimum." Tina Fey, who cast Stritch in a recurring role on her sitcom "30 Rock," says: "It's a bear. And it's always worth it."
Stritch is worth it not just because of her talent, but for her inspiring perseverance. She's a born entertainer, and a spirited remnant of a disappeared New York. She sings from "Follies":
"Good times and bum times, I've seen them all/ And, my dear, I'm still here."
"Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me," a Sundance Selects release, is not rated by the Motion Picture Association of America. Contains expletives. Running time: 82 minutes. Three and a half stars out of four.

NEW YORK — Miley Cyrus twerked her way to the top of the charts and Justin Timberlake returned to music after a seven-year hiatus, but another artist owned music in 2013: Bruno Mars.
Billboard announced Friday that the pop crooner is the year's top overall artist.
"It's flattering. It's just an honor," Mars said in an interview this week. "I'm proud to be a part of this whole team that I have."
The singer's year included a No. 1 hit with "When I Was Your Man" and a top 5 hit with "Treasure." His sophomore album, "Unorthdox Juxebox," was released late last year and has sold more than 1.8 million units. It's the second best-selling album of the year behind Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience."
Mars added that listeners have resonated with his music because it's "relatable."
"You know when you eat that food and it's filling that void you were missing," he said, describing his music.
Taylor Swift is the year's top female artist for Billboard, while Mars is the leading male. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis is the top group and new act.
Timberlake ruled the R&B charts, while groups Flordia George Line and Imagine Dragons topped the country and rock charts, respectively.
Mars' impressive year also includes four Grammy Awards. His No. 1 hit, "Locked Out of Heaven," is up for two of the top awards, song and record of the year. He'll launch the second North American leg of his "Moonshine Jungle World Tour" this summer.

Colorado offensive lineman David Bakhtiari became the seventh player in the program's history to cut short his college career and declare for the NFL draft and the first to do so in a decade.
Bakhtiari announced Tuesday through the school's sports information department he has decided to forego his senior season in 2013 and enter the April draft. Bakhtiari said he made the decision receiving feedback from a group of NFL executives who provide underclassmen with an analysis of where they believe those players would be drafted.
Bakhtiari said he has been told he can expect to be picked in the second or third round. He said he also spoke with former CU coach Jon Embree and former offensive line coach Steve Marshall about the decision and they reached out to contacts in the league who said Bakhtiari might even go higher than the second round.
"I woke up yesterday (Monday) and decided this is what I want to do," Bakhtiari said in a news release from the school. "I've been contemplating this for a long time. It didn't have anything to do with Jon Embree being fired; I had always intended to see where the NFL was going position me after I submitted myself for the review."
Despite playing on one of the worst teams record-wise at the Bowl Championship Series level the past two seasons, Bakhtiari has earned second team All-Pac-12 honors as voted by the conference's coaches in both seasons.
Bakhtiari also spoke with new coach Mike MacIntyre and new offensive line coach Gary Bernardi before making his decision.
Bakhtiari's departure sets up a likely spring battle at left tackle between sophomore-to-be Marc Mustoe, who finished the 2012 seasons second on the depth chart at the position and Alexander Lewis who started all 12 games at left guard in 2012.
It's possible sophomore-to-be Stephane Nembot also could compete for the job.
Bakhtiari, who was recruited to CU by former offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich, now at Oregon, started 33 of 34 games he played in during his career. He played in 11 games in 2012 and graded out as CU's top offensive linemen. He is four classes shy of earning his degree in communication.
"I loved my time at CU," Bakhtiari said in CU's news release. "In my career, I would have had three head coaches and four O-line coaches if I stayed for senior year, and I could have dealt with that. It came down to what we (he and his family) believe is the best decision for me. Before I even thought about playing football, CU was one of the schools I really thought I wanted to go to. I made great friends, met my girlfriend there, had great friends on the team, loved the school and especially the overall atmosphere and setting. There are a lot of things man can make, but he can't make those Flatirons."
Former CU running back Chris Brown is the last player to leave school early to turn pro, doing so in 2003. Here is the complete list: Leonard Renfro, DT, 1993, Philadelphia (1); Lamont Warren, TB, 1994 Indianapolis (6); Rashaan Salaam, TB, 1995, Chicago (1); Shannon Clavelle, DT, 1995, Buffalo (6); Ben Kelly, CB, 2000, Miami (3); Chris Brown, TB, 2003, Tennessee (3).

Highway 166 is open. Freezing weather is expected through the weekend.
Highway 33 south of Highway 166 is closed in the Cuyama Valley due to ice and snow on the roadway.
Interstate 5 over the Grapevine has been reopened to traffic in both directions. The CHP is escorting vehicles over the summit
Highway 33 is shut down at the junction with Highway 166 east of New Cuyama
There is no word on when either roadway will be reopened.
Snow was reported falling on Grocer Grade south of Maricopa at 7:44 p.m. Thursday night but Highway 166 is open, according to the CHP.
The road closures are the result of a very cold storm system that moved through the area on Thursday.
Show and ice pellets fell for a time even in Taft Thursday afternoon and the Temblor Range has a mantle of snow that remained overnight.
Taft got about a quarter-inch of precipitation Thursday. No more rain is expected, but freezing overnight temperatures are expected through the weekend.

Dear Editor:
I would like to let you and the readers of your publication to know about a very important appropriation I've been working on lately. Assembly Bill 3369 is a bill that appropriates the final round of Green Acres funding to DEP-approved projects throughout the state. I am a sponsor of this legislation because it would fund much-needed improvements to Elysian Park in Hoboken, and other crucial parks projects in Jersey City, Union City, and Weehawken.
This appropriation bill has been moving through the legislative process, but still has several steps to go through before any municipality can gain access any of the funds. In the Assembly, A3369 has been released unanimously from the Environment Committee and is awaiting consideration by the Appropriations Committee. If it is approved by that Committee, the entire Assembly must vote to disburse the funds. Additionally, the Senate must also vote to pass the appropriation. If and when both houses pass the legislation, the bill must then be signed into law by the Governor.
Only when the Governor gives final approval for the disbursement of the Green Acres funding can we access the grant to refurbish Elysian Park and other parks in our area. While I am confident that the appropriation will receive both legislative and executive approval, no individual can yet claim that they have secured these funds.
As a primary sponsor of the appropriation bill, I will continue to work to advance this important funding through the appropriation process until the funding has been officially secured. If you have any questions about this or any other bills currently under consideration in the Assembly, please feel free to contact my office.
