A man crashed through a chain-link fence and into a home after he was shot while driving through the West Pullman neighborhood on the Far South Side, authorities said.
Dane Whitfield, 31, was found unresponsive in the black Kia Optima and taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 6:55 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Cook County medical examiner's office.
Whitfield was driving south in the 11800 block of Harvard Avenue about 5:30 p.m. when shots rang out, police said. He hit a parked car, shearing off its back end, then hit a utility pole and crashed through a fence and into a house in the 11900 block of South Harvard, police said.
The utility pole was cracked by the impact and slanted toward the single-family home.
Detectives, evidence technicians and beat officers cordoned off the 11800 block of Harvard with yellow tape. A tan or brown car that had been parked on the street and hit by the Kia sat in the middle of the block. Across 119th Street, police blocked off the scene where the Kia crashed as onlookers stared at the wreckage.
Whitfield had gotten his hair cut at a barber shop near 113th and Halsted about 10 minutes before the shooting, according to a barber there who has known Whitfield since they were both young. As he was leaving the shop, Whitfield and the friend had discussed going to a nightclub on the North Side later that night.
"We were just talking about going out tonight," said the friend, 35, who lives a few blocks from the shooting. "He wanted to go out. And we said, 'We can do that.' "
The friend said he learned of the shooting from his mother. He went to the scene and recognized Whitfield's car by the license plate. "Him and his girlfriend just got that car. And I know the license plate because I play lottery. I know (the license plate) by heart," the friend said.
The friend did not know why anyone would want to shoot Whitfield. "I grew up with him. I see him all the time. We play video games. We play ball," the friend said. "I have a group [of friends]. We don't get involved.
"I'm still trying to figure it out," the friend said.
Four other people were wounded in shootings across the city since Wednesday afternoon:
• A 33-year-old man walked into Holy Cross Hospital with a gunshot wound about 4:30 p.m. He told police he had been shot in the 6800 block of South California Avenue, near the hospital, but police found no shell casings or blood and no one called 911 to report gunfire.
Police later said the man was shot in the 7100 block of South Wood Street in the West Englewood neighborhood, in the same incident as a 43-year-old man who was shot in the eye, police said. They were shot about 4:15 p.m., said Police News Affairs Officer Veejay Zala.
The man, who fire officials said was 44, was taken in serious-to-critical condition to Stroger Hospital, where his condition was stabilized, according to a Fire Department spokesman.
• About 11:30 p.m., a 22-year-old man walked into Mount Sinai Hospital with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. He had been shot in the 3900 block of West 24th Street, near the intersection with Harding Avenue.
• A 22-year-old man was shot inside a private club in the 1500 block of West 79th Street, near the Ashland Avenue intersection, about 3:20 a.m. Thursday. The man was near the door of the club when another man, angry because he was denied entry to the club, fired through the glass door.
He was taken to Holy Cross Hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg, police said.

Brother Mike;
Yes, gksu nautilus works with Unity, at least 11.10 which I presently use.
True, many users only use graphical interfaces and the suggestion of Brother Mike will allow you to use one to manage files as a root user.
Linux is rather peculiar among the OSs in that it does not have a common "All Users" folder, that is, a folder all users can read or write to. In Windows it is /ProgramData and in Mac it is /Library. Ubuntu wants data files in either the /usr/share folder, /opt folder or even others. However, all these are owned by root (like administrator).
If Bible Analyzer installed the modules under the users /home folder, only that user would have access to them. I realize most computers usually only have one user, but when writing a program one has to allow for multiple users.
Bible Analyzer will (should) install for all users. That is, all users can run it regardless who installed it. Each user will have their own configuration files but share the common modules. I don't know of any way the user can choose to install an app for all users or the current. This choice is available for Windows and Mac, but I don't know how to get a DEB file to allow the choice.
Nevertheless, you can still place modules in your /Documents/Bible Analyzer folder and BA should find them.
Concerning the issues you mentioned, I will check them out when I can. I am pretty busy this week, though.
As Mike mentioned, to turn off the pesky TTS voice at start, go to Preferences/Text to Speech and select "No Speech at Start."

China's largest auto parts maker won U.S. government approval to buy A123 Systems, a maker of electric car batteries, despite warnings by some lawmakers that the deal would transfer sensitive technology developed with U.S. government money.
The sale of the lithium-ion battery maker to a U.S. unit of Wanxiang Group was approved by a U.S. government committee on foreign investment, according to a statement from the Chinese company. The companies later said the deal had been completed.
Last month, Wanxiang's U.S. unit agreed to pay $257 million for A123's automotive battery business and related assets in a bankruptcy auction, beating U.S. rival Johnson Controls of Milwaukee.
But the transaction still needed approval by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, a government body led by the Treasury secretary. The committee approved the deal on Monday night, according to Wanxiang.
"Wanxiang America looks forward to closing the transaction and to continuing to foster the technologies A123 has worked so hard to develop," said Pin Ni, the president of Wanxiang America, in a statement.
Jason Forcier, president of the newly formed A123 Systems's auto business, said Wanxiang was focused on pushing A123 to profitability within a few years. "Wanxiang obviously brings financial stability to the company that we haven't had in at least the last six to 12 months," he said in a telephone interview.
Some members of Congress and the Strategic Materials Advisory Council — a group including retired military leaders that is focused on protecting the U.S. industrial supply chain — said the sale to Wanxiang could jeopardize U.S. energy security and they asked the U.S. committee to block it.
A123 had received a $249 million grant from the U.S. government as part of a stimulus program to promote clean energy, although about half of that money was never released.
The company filed for bankruptcy in October due to weaker-than-expected demand for hybrid vehicles and technical problems.
The company makes batteries for Fisker Automotive, BMW hybrid 3- and 5-Series cars, and General Motors's all-electric Chevrolet Spark, which is scheduled for release later this year. China's SAIC Motor and India's Tata Motors also are customers.
The money raised by the sale will be used to repay the battery maker's debts of about $376 million.
Wanxiang tried to blunt criticism of the deal by excluding A123's defense contracts from its bid at the auction. Those were sold separately to Illinois-based Navitas Systems for $2.25 million.
"There is no question that CFIUS process is there to fully protect national security issues and we are glad that we could have addressed all the concerns CFIUS has," Wanxiang America's president said in an email to Reuters.
Among the lawmakers who remained opposed to the sale were two senators who questioned the government's funding of the battery company even before its bankruptcy.
"Technology produced by A123 and funded by U.S. taxpayers should not simply be shipped off to China so that the military applications for these materials can be reproduced abroad," said a statement from Sen. John Thune, R-S.D.
Thune and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, called on CFIUS to give a full briefing on the A123 review.
A123 received its U.S. government funds, which it used to build manufacturing plants in Michigan, as part of a $90 billion program to promote clean energy.
Chinese companies have been pouring cash into overseas investments, and with that money has come concerns around the globe that companies with ties to Beijing may not play by free-market rules.
The CFIUS recently rejected a bid to build wind farms in Oregon by Ralls, owned by two executives of China's Sany Group. The committee has also blocked multiple deals by Huawei Technologies, a Chinese telecom equipment manufacturer.
Wanxiang may have soothed the concerns of CFIUS members with its history of investing in the United States.
The company generates about $1 billion in U.S. revenue by supplying parts to GM and Ford. It has bought or invested in more than 20 U.S. companies, many of which were in bankruptcy, according to a congressional report.
Forcier said with Wanxiang's backing, A123 will invest in areas where it sees growth, including batteries for hybrid and microhybrid vehicles. While the auto business will make up half of the company's sales this year, the electric grid unit is expected to become its largest business within the next several years.
He also said A123 hopes to leverage its ties to Wanxiang into more business in China, where it operates through a joint venture with SAIC. Forcier said A123 will operate as a stand-alone entity and no major job cuts are planned.

May 1, 2006
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - For the second consecutive week, the MIT men's tennis team copped a pair of New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) honors. Melvin Makhni was tabbed the Singles Player of the Week while Said Francis and Jonathan Farm were named the Doubles Team of the Week.
In the first post-season outing of his career, Makhni notched a pair of straight-set wins. Against Coast Guard in the NEWMAC semifinals, he did not drop a game against his No. 6 opponent. In the championship match, Makhni defeated his Wheaton foe, 6-2, 6-4, en route to MIT's eighth title.
In their No. 3 doubles debut, Francis and Farm went undefeated during the NEWMAC Championship Tournament. The duo blanked Coast Guard's tandem, 8-0, in semifinal play, and then posted an 8-5 decision over Wheaton to clinch the doubles point of the title match.

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Another fantastic Charles interview.
Charles Barkley joined 790 The Ticket in Miami on The Dan LeBatard Show with Stugotz and Stan Van Gundy to discuss his criticism of Dwyane Wade, the Los Angeles Lakers being an old team, the Lakers having zero chance of winning an NBA title this year and fans being allowed to vote for the All-Star team.
Is Dwyane Wade mad at you?
"Well I hope Dwyane is not upset. I didn't say that Dwyane was a bum and he couldn't play. He doesn't look the same, physically, to me. If you look at his numbers across the board, his numbers are down. He's been in the league a long time. I said, 'I am not sure if he's injured or the wear and tear started taking its toll on him.' He just doesn't look like the same guy. I didn't say that because I saw him play in person. It's not a fair estimate watching it on television, but what I said when I saw him in person was that he didn't look explosive. Maybe he's hurt or maybe he's slowing down, one of the two. He's still a very good player, but I think my criticism wasn't personal. I didn't say the guy was a bum and he couldn't play. I said he doesn't look the same to me from an explosion standpoint. Either it's the wear and tear or the injuries are taking their toll."
You have been saying all year that the Lakers are old. Are you laughing now that Kobe Bryant just realized that?
"When I broadcast the game two weeks ago, Steve Kerr said I was talking to the Lakers before the game and Kobe said he's not sure what team they are going to get night after night. I said they are going to get an old, slow team every night. I just think Kobe got around to TiVoing the games and just got around to watching it. If he had to watch the show, I think three weeks ago when I broadcast the game against the Knicks, I said, 'Man these Lakers … are old and slow on television. They are even older and slower in person."
You don't think the Lakers have any shot of winning an NBA title?
"None. Zero. Zero chance. I think Oklahoma City, Memphis and the Spurs are the three best teams in the West. I still have my concerns. Everybody is on the Clippers' bandwagon. I don't like their half-court offense. I don't like their free throw shooting. I love Chris Paul. I said it for years. I thought Jason Kidd was the best leader in the NBA. I passed that mantle, in my personal opinion, to Chris Paul, but I don't like their half-court offense. I don't like their free-throw shooting, and I've said this about the Knicks, everybody is on their bandwagon.
"If you look at [the Knicks'] stats, they've only rebounded like three teams, even when they had that gaudy record. They only lead a team in rebounding like three times. I don't think you can live by 3s and not rebound the ball and that can last for the entire season. They got a good, solid team, but I always think 3-point shooting backs down to the averages. They were on a crazy streak for the last month. If you look at their defensive numbers, they were great in November, but they've been gradually giving up more numbers and they haven't been a good rebounding team all season.
"I'm just trying to figure out who's going to give Miami competition in the East, and right now I am very disappointed in the Celtics. I've been shocked with how bad they have been playing. I'm waiting to see when Derrick Rose comes back, 'cause you can't beat Miami on the perimeter. LeBron is just too good on the perimeter, but if you can physically beat them up inside like Dirk Nowitzki and Tyson Chandler did, that's their Achilles heel 'cause they put so much pressure on LeBron to get every rebound and guard the big guys. That's the chink in Miami's armor, it's their lack of size, and you wonder how LeBron is going to wear down trying to guard big guys and rebound and make every play."
Do you believe the Nets still want Dwight Howard in Brooklyn? Do you believe Dwight Howard is going to start the All-Star game?
"Let me tell you something, I have been very disappointed. I like Dwight Howard a lot as a person, but I have been very disappointed with the whole way he handled the whole Orlando thing. If he's hurt, he needs to come out and say he's hurt. Last week we went over the All-Star starters. One reason I don't think the fans should ever vote is because they just vote for their favorite players. Listen, these are two guys I always have liked. I'm a big Kevin Garnett fan. But there's no way in the world he should be starting the All-Star game right now. And the same way with Dwight Howard. Those fans who have penciled those two guys in (to) start … That's a travesty to be honest. I like Dwight Howard, but he ain't played like no All-Star this year and Kevin Garnett has not played like an All-Star.
"That's why the fans do a disservice to a guy like Anderson Varejao, who's leading the league in rebounding, who's been outstanding. The coaches may have to put him on the team, but the fans should reward those guys. Zach Randolph has been great all season."

(Reuters) - AT&T Inc plans to start speeding up its Internet service in Austin, Texas, in December, to defend itself against a planned ultra-high-speed Internet and television service to be launched by GoogleInc in the same city next year.
Texas' capital city, with a population of 840,000, has a reputation as a high-tech industry hub.
After Google said in April that it would bring a service of 1 gigabit-per-second to Austin users,AT&T followed with a promise to match the offer if it obtained the same regulatory terms granted to Google by local authorities.
AT&T said on Tuesday that it would start by offering a 300 megabits-per-second service in December, and that by mid-2014 the speed would increase to up to 1 gigabit per second. It said this would allow users to download an entire high-definition movie in less than 2 minutes.
The AT&T service promised for December is almost seven times faster than AT&T's fastest existing home broadband offering.
Google had initially billed its first "Google Fiber" broadband offer, launched in Kansas City, Missouri, last year, as a test project to spur development of new Web services and technology.
But it has since suggested that high-speed Internet could be a viable business for the company, causing traditional broadband rivals such as AT&T to prepare a response.
AT&T's chief executive, Randall Stephenson, told investors at a conference on September 24 that AT&T was working on the Austin project and that he expected the company to do "multiple marketslike this over the next few years."
AT&T said it will reach "tens of thousands of customer locations" in Austin and the surrounding areas this year with its new speeds and will expand to more neighborhoods in 2014.
Google's Fiber service, which the company says provides Internet speeds 100 times faster than today's average broadband service, will be available in Austin by mid-2014. Google began offering Fiber in Kansas City in late 2012 and will make the service available in Provo, Utah, by the end of this year.

...The y filters mostly come with "male pipe thread" MPT attachments and I'm wondering how the heck I connect that to the 3/4" PVC. I mean, obviously I can just use a female threaded connector, but once that's glued down, that filter isn't going to be coming off...
...Does it matter which way the Y filter is oriented?..

Congress Abuses 'It's Classified' To Hide Stuff They Don't Want To Talk About
from the of-course-they-do dept
Those were, in fact, the words Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chair of the committee, used when asked a few days before the approval was granted to clarify her position for her constituents. She declined. It's a difficult situation, she said. And, "It's classified."The article highlights how Congress has realized that it can avoid having to answer difficult questions by slapping the "it's classified" claim on just about anything. But it's the difficult questions that they should have to answer, and by avoiding them, they're fundamentally avoiding their jobs. They're clearly not representing the American people, because they refuse to answer to them.
She was not alone. In a string of interviews over days, members of both the Senate intelligence committee or its equivalent in the House were difficult to pin down on their view of providing arms to the rebels. The senators and representatives said they couldn't give an opinion, or at least a detailed one, because the matter was classified.
It's an increasingly common stance that advocates of open government say undermines the very principle of a representative democracy.

Not Even Bond Can Get This Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster
James Bond might have it all — the good looks, the cool gadgets, the deadly skills of an assassin, the ability to bed any woman he chooses — but what's one thing he probably won't be getting? This awesome Aston Martin V12 Vantage Roadster.
Rumored for quite some time now, Motor Authority reports that the Vantage Roadster is no longer a dream, but a reality. Know what else is a reality for those wanting one? They're only going to make 101 of these cars, meaning they've probably already been spoken for before Mr. Bond could have a chance at getting his name on the list.
The Vantage Roadster packs a 6.0-liter V12 with 510 horsepower and 420 lbs of spine-snapping torque. A redesigned rear deck lid, new front end, carbon fiber trim and unique wheels puts this bad boy at around $234,000. No word yet on a Touchtronic automatic transmission, but if you get a car like this in an automatic, you don't deserve to drive it.
While she may not come with rockets, oil slicks or handy machine guns, this V12 Vantage Roadster has more than enough of a wow factor to have you looking just as cool as the world's best secret agent. Too bad you probably can't find one, much less afford it even if you did.

Scouting/Knots/Decorational Knots/Sinnets/Three String English Sinnet
Making a Three String English Sinnet[edit]
The Three String English Sinnet is the most simple sinnet to create. You start by putting the three strings next to each other. Then you pick the left string and cross it over the middle string, making the left string the middle string and vice versa. Then, you pick the right string, and cross it over the middle string, making the right string the middle string, and vice versa. Repeat this process alternating the left and right string, until the desired length is reached.
This sinnet is a braid, and is therefore primarily used for decoration. Another use for this sinnet is creating a stronger rope by braiding several weaker ropes. A Three String English Sinnet will create a rope three times stronger than either of the three individual ropes (provided the three ropes used were of the same quality and strength).
Other Names[edit]
- Common Braid
- Braid
- Three String Braid
- Vlecht (Dutch)
- Driestrengs Vlecht (Dutch)
- Driestrengs Engelse Platting (Dutch)

Almost 8 months.
Feels super-exhilarating to be back from my self imposed hibernation from Blogging. The Dashboard seems so warmly familiar, the comments tab brings back delightful memories, and I read all my posts, even the pic galleries, with a certain pleasant, satisfied nostalgia.
It's been a very fulfilling experience. Not just the blogging, but the promoting, the other AMAZING blogs that I stumbled upon during this journey (thebuddhasoliloques.blogspot.com being my latest obsession), the feedback, the designing….I've loved it all.
What has changed is my perspective on the subject matter of this blog. Yeah. Television and it's crap do not amuse me anymore. The shows that impress me aren't popular (cases in point being Rishta.com, Mahi Way, JDJ) and the shows that disgust me rule the roost. So here I am, feeling nostalgic and wanting to re-start the blogging, and with nothing whatsoever television-gossip-ish to write about, which is why you've ended up reading a personal rant kind of stuff when you probably wanted to enjoy some chatpati khabarein.
And thus, having lost that penchant for television and the gossip, here's heralding the official end to Telly Gossip. Muchos gracias (:-*) for the comments, the motivating feedback, for subscribing, for spreading the word, for visiting, for joining the highly boring facebook page (which had no updates at all, unlike promised), for liking, and well, even for spamming (Wannabe bloggers must note that it actually indirectly helps popularize the blog!).
Thank you so much! this blog and the visitors and the experiences have given me some unforgettable memories....:)
Of course I know the bitter truth that my post is being read only by the spammers (who manage to keep my traffic at a boast-able 120, and for which I totally love them ;)), but well, I just hope some of the old subscribers to TG might stumble upon this.
Here's wishing all of you a really really happy new year!
Have a blast, and God Bless ! :)

By Greg Little
Group Editor
A new postcard book just published is now available for purchase and would make an excellent gift for Christmas.
The book can be purchased at The Wayne Independent. The cost is $42.35.
"This is one of our best publications ever and includes a lot of information about this entire region," said Michelle Hessling, publisher of The Wayne Independent.
The new book
Before telephones, CB radios the internet and email, there were postcards.
"It was our communications," said Mike Harris of Penn Publishing. Harris is coordinating the new book, "Picture Postcards of Northeast Pennsylvania & Sullivan County, New York."
The book, coordinated and sold through The Wayne Independent, features Wayne, Pike and Lackawanna counties in Pennsylvania and Sullivan and Delaware counties in New York.
Harris said he has been working on these books for the past 20 years for Penn Publishing.
"We were approached by a newspaper in West Virginia and they were looking for something different," said Harris.
He called the first publications "reflection books of people, places and things." The first book published in Honesdale reflects that model.
Then, said Harris, they came up with the idea of doing a postcard book. The rest, as they say, is history, so to speak.
Harris said this is the seventh book he has worked on for Honesdale. It is a normally formatted book and printed on a four-color press.
"Really interesting," is how Harris describes his career of doing these books. His territory was everything east of the Mississippi River.
Harris said he has looked at more than 300,000 photos in his lifetime.
"I have seen what this country looked like since the Civil War," said Harris.
Harris said some things are typical of all towns across the country. Those include the clothes and automobiles. Almost all had a town square along with a church and school. Some housed the church, school and town hall in the same building.
But places also have their personalities, he said.
Some may have been logging areas and others had coal mining.
"But what you see that's universal is the determination of the people," said Harris. "They knew this was a hard life. They were thinking about tomorrow, not today."
What he's also discovered is how important photographs were back in those days.
"Most of the work we do was done by a professional photographer," said Harris. "They had an eye and a skill and an art to the black and white we were doing. They could grab the essence of the image."
Another aspect of doing the books, said Harris, is how much communications have changed over the years. Some of that is good, some not.
Back in those days, postcards were an important aspect of communications. In many instances, it was the only way to communicate.
The book which is about to be published has many such examples.
Some of the postcards feature a person writing to tell a loved one they arrived safely during a trip. Others are simply conversations about everything from children to an area fire.
For Harris, that kind of communication may be lost.
Harris says he "sees the productivity" in the modern way of communication, however, "Here's what I don't see. No second thought. It's now, yes, no go."
He thinks that can be dangerous.
"Let's pause and think it through. Where is the pondering in today's society?" said Harris. "We were schooled to paint a narrative. We were schooled to make a statement."
Information from the books was gathered from local residents, which Harris said is crucial.
"It is of the people," he said.
There is an ad inside of this paper which has more details about how to order this book.
The photos and photo captions were coordinated by Nicole W. Little of Honesdale for The Wayne Independent.

Pippins Looking For Host Families
The Yakima Valley Pippins are seeking host families for players for the 2014 season and are now accepting applications.
"Host families are a vital part to integrating these young men into our community,"said Noel Zanchelli, director of operations for the Pippins. "Having a safe home, a second family, to share this experience with is important to their success and will extend another opportunity to share the quality of life that is found in the Valley.
While no financial compensation is provided, the Pippins will provide season tickets for each member of the household, a free parking pass to all Pippins home games, an in-season party event and a standing 15% off team merchandise during the season.
Click here to download the 2014 Yakima Valley Pippins Host Family Questionnaire then e-mail Noel Zanchelli at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Here is the FAQ:
1. How do I return the application? You can fill it out and return it the following (3) ways:
- a. Scan and email it to email@example.com
- b. Drop it off at: 1301 S. Fair Avenue, Shattuck Building – Yakima, WA 98901
2. What does a host family receive? We recognize the expense and potential disruption to families' schedules who are hosting our players. As a small way to say thank you, we provide:
- a. Season Tickets to Stadium View seats for each member of your immediate family – we want you at the park each night!!
- b. A Parking pass for the season
- c. 20% off Pippins Gear all season long
- d. A night on the picnic deck during the season where we celebrate with the host families as we watch our players compete in-game
3. When do players arrive and leave?
- a. Players typically arrive between the end of May and middle of June.
- b. Players, unless they are injured and have to leave early, will finish the season around August 15 (depending on post-season).
4. How many nights are they home?
- Our players are on the road about 30-35 days during the summer, meaning they will be home about 30-35 nights during the summer.
5. What is the schedule like?
- Their 10-12 hour game-day schedule will put the players at the ballpark typically around 2 P.M. Games finish around 9:30-10:00. Most players are home between 11 P.M.- 12 A.M. Road trips will typically have the team leave early in the morning, with returns coming later at night.
6. What do I have to provide?
- We ask that families provide a room that is not shared with other family members (other players, i.e. two beds, is O.K.), access to a bathroom, and the ability to eat and live in a "normal family environment". You don't have to provide a car (although kind if you do), and most important create a safe and warm environment for these young men to get acclimated to our community.
You can reach the Pippins offices at 509-575-8304.

Air traffic controllers need more than reprieve
HARTFORD -- Since flight patterns for the three major New York City airports have shifted over western Connecticut in recent years, Danbury Municipal Airport needs air traffic controllers more than ever, according to one official.
Paul Estefan, administrator of the airport, told state lawmakers Monday that although congressional action prevented sequestration cuts from sending his air traffic controllers home, he's worried about the next federal fiscal year, which starts Oct. 1.
Air traffic controllers at six state airports, including Danbury Municipal Airport, Sikorsky Memorial Airport in Stratford and Waterbury-Oxford Airport, had been scheduled for layoffs until last week's congressional action using part of about $253 million in Federal Aviation Administration Trust Fund money to keep controllers through the current federal fiscal year.
Normally, that money is used for capital projects such as repaving runways.
Relieved that Congress was able to head off the sequestration cuts until at least the end of September, Estefan and officials from several of the state's airports Monday said long-term plans must be made to assure safety in the skies over Connecticut.
Estefan recalled that after one recent local crash, a controller was instrumental in noticing a plane that had taken off from the airport quickly disappeared from his radar.
The crash killed the pilot and injured a passenger, who might have died if a controller wasn't in the tower because that absence would've delayed the search-and-rescue effort.
"We need the controllers," said Estefan, estimating their annual cost at about $550,000. "We need them there. They do an outstanding job for us. I don't think they should be removed."
Estefan told the Legislature's Transportation Committee that when the traffic patterns for Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark airports shifted into western Connecticut in 2008, it "shrunk" the airspace for small, Danbury-based planes.
"When you start condensing airspace, those singles and twins and turbo-props and jets have got to intermix now with the jet airliners that are down at 6,000 feet, and in certain cases, even a little bit lower," Estefan said of the increased traffic.
"You cannot have a system with no controllers to govern the airspace above you to a point where these airliners are now going to start infringing on our quality of operation at Danbury and make our people -- of the 260 based airplanes at this airport -- sit on the ground until they go whizzing by at 250 knots," he said.
During a news conference in the Capitol complex, U.S. Rep. Rosa DeLauro and U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal charged that the effects of the federal budget cuts under the sequestration threaten jobs and the economic recovery.
Making Connecticut airports less safe, Blumenthal and DeLauro warned, can adversely affect economic development because many corporations ask about the proximity of airports to potential office sites. Questions about controller staffing could scare off businesses, Blumenthal and DeLauro said.
Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington, co-chairman of the Transportation Committee, said that the hearing had been scheduled before Congress approved the new funding last week, but went ahead anyway.
"We really wanted to expose the public to the details of what's involved in not having these towers funded," Maynard said in an interview. "We've only got a quick fix here for the next four months."
Sen. L. Scott Frantz, R-Greenwich, ranking member of the committee, said that the FAA's budget is large enough to have come up with "efficiencies" to allow capital projects to go forward, along with the air controller funding.

text: Cattle Prices Drop on Signs of Slowing Beef Demand February 13, 2013 09:12 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Bloomberg Email By Elizabeth Campbell, Copyright 2013 Bloomberg. Cattle futures declined for the second straight day on speculation that higher prices for U.S. beef are slowing consumer purchases of the meat. Hog prices were little changed. Wholesale beef rose 0.1 percent to $1.8357 a pound as of midday, a one-week high, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show. All fresh retail-beef prices may average $4.85 a pound this year, up 4 percent from 2012, according to CattleFax, a Centennial, Colorado-based researcher. "The cattle market has had a problem," Mark Schultz, the chief analyst at Northstar Commodity Investment Co. in Minneapolis, said in a telephone interview. "It just has a market that has been so high, and price-wise, we just don't have demand." Cattle futures for April delivery fell 0.8 percent to $1.28875 a pound at 11:54 a.m. on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange. Through yesterday, the price was down 1.8 percent this year. Meatpackers processed 239,000 head of cattle in the first two days of this week, down 2 percent from a year earlier, USDA figures show. Packers are probably losing $60 to $75 a head, according to Schultz. Feeder-cattle futures for March settlement declined 1.7 percent to $1.40825 a pound. A close at that price would be the ninth straight decline. Hog futures for April settlement slid less than 0.1 percent to 85.975 cents a pound on the CME. Prices were up 0.3 percent this year through yesterday. Read more Power Hour news, blogs and videos. Back to news

The wonderful new gospel music documentary "Rejoice and Shout" opens not with an exploration of sound but of faith. Smokey Robinson says he prays to God all day long. Speaking of the people who faint or lose themselves in the religion, he says: "When I was a kid, that was one of the reasons I really didn't go to church with my mom, because, at that age, I didn't understand the impact of the Holy Spirit. That frightened me, until I had grown and the Holy Spirit impacted me."
We hear from Mavis Staples: "I believe if I ask the Lord for something, it is coming. It might not be today; it might be tomorrow. But when it comes, it's gonna be right on time."
And Pastor Andraé Crouch: "If we really heard the voice of God, we'd be reduced to juice. The vibrations of his voice would reduce us to liquid. So He has to use other people to speak his word."
Because I was expecting the usual historical approach to gospel music, these hosannas at first seemed off-putting. But really, they are essential. As the producer Joe Lauro has explained: "The No. 1 thing you need to know before anything else is you really have to see what these people feel about God and how they express it in the music." They don't call it gospel music for nothing.
This is not to say that "Rejoice and Shout" skimps on the history – quite the opposite. There have been other terrific documentaries about gospel – like the concert film "Gospel" and George Nierenberg's "Say Amen, Somebody," which focused on "Professor" Thomas A. Dorsey, who wrote the lyrics for "Take My Hand, Precious Lord," and "Mother" Willie Mae Ford Smith – but this is the first gospel film to draw on an incalculably rich archive of material going back more than 100 years.
A fan and collector of American music, Lauro is also the founder of a stock footage library that is home to more than 45,000 hours of vintage television clips, feature films, and newsreels. In 10 years he amassed more than 150 hours of gospel material. "Rejoice and Shout," which was directed by Lauro's frequent collaborator Don McGlynn, represents the cream of that footage.
And what footage! The point is made that gospel, as opposed to other forms of music, was recorded early, both on disc and on film, perhaps because it was considered "God's music" and therefore important to document. We hear a rare 78 r.p.m. record from 1902 of the Dinwiddie Colored Quartet, who traveled the country playing tent shows and black vaudeville, singing "Gabriel's Trumpet." Says Lauro: "This is about as close as you can get to the way it sounded during slavery days." Lauro and McGlynn understand, too, that these clips must be experienced whole. They let the music unfold in real time, not snippets.
From a 1928 Fox Movietone newsreel, we see the fabled Norfolk Jubilee Quartet, taking a break from oyster shucking in Richmond, Va., singing "Do You Call That Religion." The Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet, from the 1930s, is shown mixing jazz elements into gospel, as Thomas A. Dorsey also did. The gospel historian Anthony Heilbut, interviewed in the film, remarks on how the Jubilee Quartet used their voices as instruments, and how you could always tell the difference on a recording between a white quartet and a black one. In the black quartets, each voice had an individual sound.
In addition to such famous performers as The Staples Singers, the ferociously rough-voiced the Rev. James Cleveland, Shirley Caesar, Crouch, and the legendary Mahalia Jackson, whose voice could indeed "reduce us to liquid," the film features, and in some cases resurrects, the reputations of such groups as The Dixie Hummingbirds, with their intricate vocal arrangements due in large part to Ira Tucker (who was interviewed in the film shortly before he died); and The Swan Silvertones, shown in a clip singing "Only Believe," showcasing its lead singer Claude Jeter and his incomparable falsetto.
Perhaps best of all are the clips of the ecstatically gifted Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who was not only a preacher but a guitarist. In the late 1930s and early '40s she successfully combined gospel with big band and blues arrangements and was so influential that you can see her imprint in everybody from Elvis Presley and Little Richard to Johnny Cash, who always said she was his favorite singer.
The filmmakers don't skimp on the new generation of gospel singers either. They open with 10-year-old Jekalyn Carr, from the Selvy Family, singing "Amazing Grace" with a lived-in soulfulness that is positively unearthly. Because of her youth, she is – more than anybody else in the film – a testament to the momentous spirit that resides in this music. Grade: A (Rated PG for some mild thematic material and incidental smoking.)

How Tennessee and Tulsa Met in the 1943 Sugar Bowl
Obviously, the war put a crimp in the sports scene; the equality of competition fell. But the luck of the Sugar Bowl continued. Before the final big week of the 1942 regular season, the Mid-Winter Sports Association was angling for Boston College and either Georgia Tech or Georgia, the best two teams in the Southeast Conference.
Pasadena flexed its considerable muscle and stepped in with an agreement to take the winner of the Tech-Bulldog fight, snatching a plum right out of the hands of the Sugar. New Orleans then quickly glanced to the Midwest where Henry Frnka's Tulsa Hurricane was blowing over everything in its path. Fourth-ranked Tulsa, the only undefeated team eligible for a bowl and averaging an incredible 42 points a game, would have made an ideal opponent for No. 1-ranked Boston College. Tulsa was invited, and accepted.
Eerie things were taking place at Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. The program cover of the November 28, 1942, Boston College-Holly Cross game showed a photograph of the schools' captains shaking hands. The Holy Cross captain wore No. 55, the Boston College captain wore No. 12. On that day twenty-six-point underdog Holy Cross drummed the Eagles 55-12. Until Northwestern, a 32-point underdog, defeated Minnesota 31-21 in 1982, this was college football's biggest reversal of form. Boston College instantaneously lost its glitter and national championship aspirations.
The Sugar Bowl appeared to be wiggling on a hook, especially after Boston columnist Bill Cunningham indicated that Boston College might have made an agreement with New Orleans before the game. "So far as I'm concerned," Cunningham said, "the Sugar Bowl is stuck with Boston College. Apparently they can't get out of it, even with that awful drubbing this afternoon."
Cunningham was as close as a reporter could be to the Boston College athletic situation, so his words were taken as imprimatur. But he was wrong. Seventh-ranked Tennessee received and accepted the Sugar Bowl invitation. It may have been the best thing that ever happened to the Boston College athletic family.
A party celebrating its victory and the Sugar Bowl invitation and the Sugar Bowl invitation had been scheduled to follow the Holy Cross game. The crushed Eagles, without victory and without a Sugar Bowl bid, cancelled the affair. That night the Coconut Grove, site of the called-off-celebration, burned down and almost 500 people were killed.
Tulsa, the Missouri Valley champion, didn't appear to need anything extra in its high-velocity offense, featuring a do-it-all tailback named Glenn Dobbs. The Hurricane had 2,339 yards passing that season, 4,261 yards in total offense, and ranked eighth nationally on defense, surrendering an average of 148.7 yards.
The Hurricane did pick up a lot of what normally would have been neutral fan support in New Orleans. Bill Cunningham apparently irritated that Boston College had not gotten the Sugar Bowl invitation, wrote that one of the participants was a "fine semi-pro club, peopled with several gents whose eligibility wouldn't pass muster in some of the politer circles." The howl that arose in Oklahoma caused Cunningham to back up and say he was actually speaking of Tennessee, thought he seemed to be simply covering his tracks. Tulsa received a great deal of sympathy nationwide for being in the line of fire through no fault of its own. New Orleans went out of its way to show hospitality to the Hurricane.
The game itself had a slightly odd look. Coach John Barnhill had taken over the Volunteer reins for General Bob Neyland. Frnka had been a longtime assistant at Vanderbilt and had crossed swords with Tennessee for years. "I used to scout them so often I sometimes stood up when their band played their alma mater," he laughed.
Tennessee, in the Neyland tradition, emphasized its kicking game and defense. The Vols had a fine running attack and were deep in reserves, accounting for their pick as a three-point favorite. Tulsa, however, was not deep and wasn't a consistent ground threat. "We were a bunch of greyhounds with a lot of heart," said Dobbs. Some felt Tulsa was a little more than that. One sportswriter led off a story with, "Lock the door and stack the furniture because Gleen Dobbs & Co., otherwise known as the University of Tulsa football team, are in town." Not only was Tulsa exciting, but it had a coach who didn't overlook anything. Frnka brought 300 gallons of drinking water from Oklahoma with the team.
"We aren't taking any chances," he explained.
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Report: Roadmap for energy policy and strategies in new administration
A new report from ASHRAE provides a potential roadmap for addressing the nation's dependence on foreign energy sources and its greenhouse gas emissions while growing the economy.
"Buildings are often overlooked as an opportunity to reduce energy consumption and offer an excellent opportunity to achieve national energy goals," said ASHRAE president Bill Harrison.
Buildings are responsible for 40% of energy consumption in the United States %%MDASSML%% more than transportation and industry %%MDASSML%% and represent 38% of the U.S.'s greenhouse gas emissions. Americans spend approximately 90% of their time indoors %%MDASSML%% many of them in schools and office buildings. The entire U.S. construction industry employs an estimated 10 million people including manufacturing, and with increased focus on improving energy efficiency within buildings, that number can be expected to rise, ASHRAE said.
The report provides detailed recommendations on shaping policy across the areas of energy policy and climate change; Federal incentives; research and development; Federal agency activities; and education.
