Mayor Emanuel will celebrate two years in office by unveiling "Elevate Chicago" on Thursday, a series of construction projects to improve Navy Pier and McCormick Place.
The plan is a combination of two projects the city claims will create thousands of construction jobs and millions of dollars in new revenue.
Navy Pier will get a $165 million face-lift that improves its public and entertainment spaces, expands the Children's Museum and makes the Midwest's most popular tourist attraction less "cheesy."
A master of media packaging, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is pitching the first installment of what officials hope will be a $278 million remodeling of Navy Pier as part of an ambitious redevelopment of Chicago's "tourism and tradeshow infrastructure," the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
The Navy Pier plan includes two new attractions: An "inter-active" fountain at the entrance known as Gateway Park that could be converted into an ice skating rink in the winter and the long-awaited, $26 million expansion of the Children's Museum once earmarked for Grant Park.
The redesign of the Pier's public and commercial spaces in time for the attraction's centennial anniversary also includes: a dramatic staircase leading to the popular Ferris wheel; 54,000 square feet of additional dining and entertainment space at the east end and changes to the South Dock, South Arcade, Pier Park and Crystal Garden.
"This will create the world-class destination that our city truly deserves," Navy Pier CEO Marilyn Gardner said of the plan designed by renowned landscape architect James Corner.
"We're creating much more of a plaza atmosphere out in front in Gateway Park. The South Dock will have a much more engaging atmosphere with a lot more trees. People will be able to get much closer to the water. It truly creates a much more engaging environment. The Pier will feel dramatically different."
Housing and Economic Development Commissioner Andy Mooney added, "There is kind of a cheesy atmosphere out there. In this first phase, the funds are really getting devoted to the infrastructure — cleaning it up, getting a better entry and making people feel more comfortable in the facility itself. And then, Children's Museum is putting in $26 million in their facility alone. That will, we think, really be a draw for families."
The Navy Pier Flyover Project also is part of "Elevate Chicago" – a series of walking bridges and lakefront paths that should help solve some of traffic bottlenecks at the pier.

By shifting the focus to Navy Pier, the mayor draws attention away from those who have questioned his decision to use public money to bankroll a $173 million basketball arena that would become the new men's and women's basketball home of the DePaul Blue Demons.
The arena that would double as an "event center" for mid-sized shows too large for Navy Pier and too small for McCormick Place would be located on a site bounded by Cermak, Prairie, 21st and Indiana.
On the southeast corner will be a boutique hotel with 500 rooms. That's in addition to the 1,200-room "headquarters hotel" previously announced.
DePaul will contribute $70 million to the new arena and control revenues from the stadium's concessions, 22 suites and 300 club seats, but only during DePaul games. The nation's largest Catholic university will also have the exclusive right to name the arena — either for DePaul or for one of the university's major donors, but not for a corporate sponsor.
The remaining $70 million in construction costs will come from the McPier bond fund, which has resources left over from a 2010 restructuring. McPier bonds are backed by local hotel and motel taxes.
Another $33 million in land costs will be paid for by the surrounding tax-increment-financing district. Some of the land is already in McPier's control. Other parcels may require use of the city's sweeping eminent domain powers.
Under the agreement with DePaul, the city would be free to use the arena 24 times a year — either for athletic events involving Chicago Public Schools, Chicago City Colleges or other public events.
A so-called "sky bridge" would connect the arena to McCormick Place West.
Don Welsh, CEO of Choose Chicago, said he anticipates booking the arena for as many as 30 corporate meetings each year that are currently bypassing Chicago because the city lacks a mid-sized event center.
"The mega-shows are more or less committed to Chicago through 2020 in many cases. The interesting growth we're seeing right now is coming from some of the smaller meetings on the corporate side. This is where we see having this arena," Welsh said.
"We have found out from a couple of groups that have taken Chicago off their list — they need to have an arena as part of the overall mix. With the United Center a distance [away], it's sometimes not been an option. To have something like this on the campus is incredibly important as we grow, particularly in the corporate segment."
Equally important to Welsh is the mayor's plan to develop Motor Row as an entertainment district within walking distance of the convention center campus.
"If you sit there and talk to customers, we hear that the infrastructure around McCormick is weak as compared to other cities. This is gonna go a long way to rectify" that, he said.
In 2006, a Toronto-based consultant unveiled its grand plan for a new Navy Pier.
It called for a monorail system spanning the length of the Pier and a spokeless Ferris wheel modeled after the one that debuted at the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition.
With two floating parking structures shaped like military boats, the plan would have nearly doubled the 1,700 parking spaces now serving Navy Pier. Forrec Ltd. also envisioned a 900-seat theater, a nautical floating hotel and a "Great Lakes"-themed indoor water park with entry fees in the $15 to $30 range.
Compared to that ambitious plan, Emanuel's version looks a bit underwhelming.
But, it's a start.
The plan for two new hotels and a 10,000-seat arena has fueled speculation about a casino in the area.
Consultants hired to plan for the old Michael Reese Hospital site nearby — acquired by the city for $91 million to house an Olympic Village — recently recommended a casino as one possibility for that site.
On Wednesday, top mayoral aides were tight-lipped about the possibility.
"We have no plans for this immediate area for the casino," Mooney said. "The first thing is to get some legislation … If we get legislation, then we'll figure it out."
Deputy Mayor Steve Koch added, "To be determined."
Mooney pushed back against those who have questioned the wisdom of using public money to build an arena anchored by a tenant that plays 18 games a season and is decades removed from its heyday as a college basketball powerhouse.
"I look at it quite different. This is a true example of a public-private partnership where we're attracting private investment toward a public facility," he said.
"They're using it for 18 days a year — more, hopefully, if they have championships as well as for some of their other sports. Then, we are able to take advantage of it as the public for the rest of the year. That's largely for trade show use, assemblies and other ways of promoting the convention business."
Koch added, "An arena like this adds to the capacity in Chicago for other kinds of events — sporting, entertainment events."

Christmas Table Topper
2 crazy eight charm packs {you'll need 81 charms total.}
2 yards white bella solids
2 yards backing
1/2 yard binding
lay out 9 different charms that you like together.
{don't forget to throw in some contrast!!!}
sew the 1st row. pressing seams to the right.
sew the 2nd row. pressing seams to the left.
and then sew the 3rd row. pressing seams to the right again.
{this will ensure perfect seams.}
join row 1 & row 2. press.
join rows 1 & 2 with row 3. press again.
congratulations...you have a completed 9-patch block!!!
moving on...
make sure that your block is nice and square.
{it should be if you used a TRUE 1/4" seam allowance.}
spray your block with a light spray starch {like magic sizing} & press.
then cut your block in half longways. {horizontally}
cut in half tallways. {vertically.}
now you have 4 different sections.
simply turn the sections to create a new pattern, like so...
sew the top 2 sections together. press seam to the right.
sew the bottom 2 sections together. press seam to the left.
{this will ensure perfect seams.}
sew top and bottom together and press.
give yourself a pat on the back!!!
you've just made a disappearing 9-patch block the SUPER easy way!!!
now rinse and repeat to make 8 more of these bad boys.
{making a grand total of nine 13 1/2" blocks.}
from the 2 yards of white bella solids cut:
twelve 13 1/2" x 3 1/2" strips
& four 52 1/2" x 3 1/2" strips
take your first block and add a 13 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip to both sides of the block.
add your second block to the right side of the previous strip.
add a 13 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip to the right side of that block as well.
then add your third block to the right side of the previous strip.
add a 13 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip to the right side of that block.
you will rinse and repeat to make 2 more of these rows.
{making a grand total of 3 rows.}
note: if you are confused, here is the pattern you are following for each row:
sashing, block, sashing, block, sashing, block, sashing.
now it's time to complete the quilt top.
to the top row add one 52 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip.
join rows 1 & 2 with another 52 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip.
then join rows 1 & 2 with row 3 with another 52 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip.
and lastly, to the bottom row add the last 52 1/2" x 3 1/2" strip.
{be prepared to trim your edges down a bit.}
note: if you are confused, here is the pattern you are following for the top:
sashing, pieced row, sashing, pieced row, sashing, pieced row, sashing.
here is what your quilt top should resemble.
layer. baste. quilt. & bind.
{and of course don't forget to wash & dry it for that straight from the dryer crinkly goodness.}
you have a SUPER cute christmas table topper!!!
measuring 48" x 48" it still makes the cut as a cozy christmas lap quilt too.
and don't stop at christmas fabrics!!!
you can choose a number of lines to tailor this for a baby shower quilt, a dorm room quilt or even that perfect movie watching quilt.
endless possibilities.
{you can easily change the overall size by making your sashings wider. easy peasy.}
no matter what you make it, you'll impress all the people on your gift list this christmas with this under the tree!!!
get them while they're hot!!!
table topper kits are available at the quilt shoppe!!!

You made that disappearing nine patch look so simple! I love the result.
I would like to print this, but cannot figure out a way to do this. I cannot be running back and forth from my computer to my sewing machine to construct one of these. The possibilities are endless. I think I would like to use this to teach my daughters how to quilt. I know they would feel so accomplished if they could do something that looks so difficult, yet so simple!
thanks for the great tutorial.

NEW YORK Steel imports will likely hold steady over the next two months, according to the American Institute for International Steels latest survey, with traders saying that soft U.S. prices have caused the foreign spot market to lose traction. All survey respondents said that they expect shipments of cold-rolled sheet, corrosion-resistant steel, structural products and pipe and tube products to remain the same over the next two months, based on already-placed orders. Some 96 percent also said that they expect cut-to-length shipments to remain the same. ....

Jesse Ventura
Real Name
James Janos
Date of Birth
July 15, 1951
Place of Birth
In a move that might be taking place much too soon, WWE has decided to split up the Wyatt Family. Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan will all be going their separate ways. Wyatt is rumored to be doing a baby face turn soon since management ran out of top level opponents for him. Harper is expected to receive a nice push as a singles performer, while nothing much has been said about plans for Rowan.
October 1, 2014
In order to create new matches in the main event scene, WWE is contemplating a baby face turn for Randy Orton in the near future. Seeds have been planted on Monday Night Raw recently when his character is shown complaining frequently about being forced to put out fires created by Seth Rollins. The belief is that a feud between the two will be taking place very soon.
September 30, 2014
An idea being floated around backstage in WWE has Antonio Cesaro and Paul Heyman engaging in a big feud in the next couple of months. The story would involve their amicable split, which is being promoted by the commentators nowadays. This would be the long rumored face turn for Cesaro, and he would be elevated into the main event scene by working against Brock Lesnar.
August 2, 2014
Even though the move was done at the last minute, the baby face turn for Jack Swagger has turned out a lot better than WWE had expected. Officials backstage are impressed with the audience reaction to the now patriotic character. A lot of that has to do with the heat that Lana and Alexander Rusev have generated. However, management will more than likely give a push to Swagger to see if the momentum can carry on.
August 1, 2014
Rumors are floating around right now that WWE officials have banned Antonio Cesaro from utilizing his giant swing move. The belief is that the company does not want him to accumulate more fan support because the move has proven to be massively popular. Management is said to be holding off on his face turn and big push because they want to focus on Dean Ambrose and Roman Reigns first.
July 26, 2014
In a rather interesting move, Curtis Axel worked as a baby face during a live event in Pennsylvania over the weekend. It was during a match against Alexander Rusev, where Axel explained to the audience that while they may not like him, they have something in common because they all love America. Rumors have it that this was simply a one time thing because they needed someone to work against Rusev that evening. Axel is not expected to do a full face turn anytime soon.
June 16, 2014
On the surface, one of the more puzzling things that WWE has done over the last year is not giving Antonio Cesaro a face turn after his crowd reaction started growing by the week. Rumors have it that management has been hesitant to pull the trigger on that because they want to leave open the possibility of a WWE title feud between Cesaro and Daniel Bryan down the line.
June 2, 2014
Since he has been receiving quite the reaction from WWE fans across the country, Bray Wyatt is now an even stronger candidate for a face turn. Some within the company are even thinking that it could take place before the year ends. Others, however, believe that he has been receiving cheers because a lot of fans are simply rooting against John Cena.
May 30, 2014
"It's just how things happen. It's been an interesting transformation, I suppose. But to be honest with you, we really haven't done much different. We just started targeting different people, I suppose. By that association, the fans just started to get with us. It's been fun. It's been a side to take for sure, but I think it's something that we're all pretty excited about." - Seth Rollins talks about the Shield doing a baby face turn in WWE
April 26, 2014
Since his popularity has been growing by the day, there are actually talks backstage in WWE of doing a face turn with Bray Wyatt. Rumors have it that some in the company believe that he can reach his full main event potential by being a fan favorite. The belief is that WWE will not be pulling the trigger on this character change until they decide to turn Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins back into heels.
April 23, 2014
Even though her character was dumped by Fandango in the story line, do not expect a face turn for Summer Rae. The blonde diva will be working as a heel when she returns to WWE after filming her parts in the upcoming Marine sequel. Summer will also be utilized more as a wrestler this time around as opposed to being a side character.
April 17, 2014
The backstage gimmick for Antonio Cesaro is that WWE will try to get the fans to beg for a face turn. Management is still secretly passing out Cesaro Section signs to the fans at the live events. The hope is that fans will be clamoring heavily for him to leave Paul Heyman and finally become a good guy. If that works, then he can get his big match against Brock Lesnar in about a year.
April 17, 2014
"Not sure why as a fan I should dislike Cesaro and it can't be simply because he's aligned himself with Paul Heyman. Cesaro simply outwrestles people and is damned impressive while doing it. Some of Cesaro's matches down in NXT the last year or so were better than anyone on RAW was having at the time." - Jim Ross thinks Antonio Cesaro should do a face turn
April 15, 2014
Since he split with Jack Swagger and Zeb Colter, many fans are under the impression that Antonio Cesaro is doing a face turn. WWE is currently planning on keeping him a heel, as Paul Heyman functions a lot better in that role. Cesaro worked as a heel against Dolph Ziggler at a live event in Texas over the weekend. WWE might be persuaded to change their minds down the line because of his growing popularity, however.
April 13, 2014
While he has lost a bit of momentum since Royal Rumble 2014, there are still plans in WWE to give Roman Reigns a big push. Since the Shield pulled a face turn recently, there are talks of elevating Reigns to the point where he can be booked in a match against Triple H at Summerslam 2014. The hope there is that HHH can make him into a star by giving him a memorable match.
April 12, 2014
A video from Monday Night Raw of the Shield rescuing new WWE champion Daniel Bryan from Triple H, Kane, Randy Orton and Batista. This is essentially the face turn of Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins.
April 11, 2014
While the audience was quite jovial towards him during Monday Night Raw, there are no plans in place for WWE to do a face turn for Brock Lesnar, as the company feels that he is much more of a draw as a dominant heel. The fans were basically cheering for the tremendous promo that Paul Heyman was cutting about the end of the Undertaker streak.
April 10, 2014
In an action filled Wrestlemania 30 kickoff match, Jimmy Uso and Jey Uso retained the WWE tag team championship by defeating Diego, Fernando, Curtis Axel, Ryback, Jack Swagger and Antonio Cesaro in a fatal four way elimination tag team bout. Afterwards, Cesaro did a face turn after Swagger attempted to attack him for being pinned.
April 6, 2014
When he made his face turn at TNA Lockdown 2014, a lot of fans were confused, as Bully Ray was such an effective heel. Well, there is actually logic behind the move, as the company is hoping for Bully Ray to be a key marketing asset when Impact Wrestling is taped in New York City, where the performer is from. TNA needs a big crowd at these shows.
March 21, 2014
While a lot of fans are under the assumption that Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns and Seth Rollins are now good guys, their face turn is actually temporary. It is only designed to get them a match against Kane and two mystery partners at Wrestlemania 30. The long term plan is for Ambrose and Rollins to remain as heels, while Reigns becomes a big face.
March 21, 2014
While a lot of people have been quick to be judgmental about the lawsuit, Jesse Ventura has publicly stated that he has no regrets about suing the widow of a deceased Navy SEAL member for defamation. The fabricated story told by Chris Kyle caused the WWE legend to lose millions of dollars, so Ventura felt justified in trying to recoup some of that money.
July 31, 2014
The former governor of Minnesota should be receiving a nice check in the near future. A jury in the state awarded Jesse Ventura $1.8 million in his lawsuit against Chris Kyle, who passed away before the trial concluded. The former WWE star filed the lawsuit because Kyle had been telling people that the two of them were involved in a fight at the bar.
July 29, 2014
While doing his show in Chicago this weekend, Jim Ross revealed that there is some backstage heat between he and Jesse Ventura. It stems from when they were working together in the XFL, the football league that Vince McMahon and WWE launched. According to Ross, Ventura wanted to be addressed only as "Governor Ventura". Ross told Ventura to kiss his ass instead.

In a little known fact in professional wrestling, Bobby Heenan was originally scheduled to manage Jesse Ventura. Vince McMahon had lured him away from the AWA for that particular role. However, Ventura had blood clots in his lungs, which was due to his stint in the Vietnam War, and was forced to retire as an in ring performer. WWE moved Heenan on to other wrestlers.
April 10, 2014
After serving six years in the Navy and before becoming a professional wrestling star, Jesse Ventura had a brief stint with the Mongols, a well known motorcycle gang. He states that he was a fully patched member and actually served as the third in command. He left the group prior to the Mongols starting a longstanding war with the Hell's Angels.

Anthony Weiner's mayoral campaign suffered another setback when his campaign manager resigned over the weekend.
The campaign manager Danny Kedem says he could no longer work for Weiner after new revelations of lewd pictures and text messages sent came out this past week.
Weiner would like to be able to call Gracie Mansion home, but now there's a new setback in the way. Despite that, the embattled candidate insists he's in it for the long haul.
In recent days, Mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner has been trying to turn the focus from the sexting scandal to his message for middle class voters. He says the resignation of his campaign manager won't change that.
"Danny left the campaign. He did a remarkable job. We have an excellent staff. More people have come on, frankly," said Weiner.
Political strategist Basil Smikle says polls may show Weiner's popularity is down, but it's too early to count him out -- especially if he gets his message directly to voters.
"He had a good fundraising period. He still got a lot of money on hand and the fact that he and his wife did the joint press conference together, in my mind, tells me he's in it for the long haul – he's going to be there until the end," said Smikle.
But out of the race is exactly where he should be says his toughest opponent, frontrunner Christine Quinn. The City Council Speaker made that quite clear on 'Meet the Press'.
"It's become very clear that former Congressman Weiner has a pattern of reckless behavior, an inability to tell the truth and a real lack of maturity and responsibility. I don't think he should be mayor and I think the voters, if he stays in the race, will make that very clear," said Quinn on 'Meet the Press'.
Smikle points out Weiner could benefit from city election law if there's no clear winner in the Democratic primary with at least 40 percent of the votes, there must be a runoff between the two top vote getters.
With a crowded field of candidates in the hotly contested race, that's a distinct possibility.
Weiner would not have to beat Council Speaker Quinn to keep his chances alive -- all he would need to do is come in second – assuming there's no more scandal.
"If any more stories come out, if there are any more revelations and clearly there are more women that speak publicly on this, I don't know if his campaign can actually survive that," said Smikle.
If there's a runoff in the Democratic primary, the winner of that race would go up against the Republican candidate in the general election in November.

The Challenge In This Page The Challenge The Opportunity Our Strategy Areas of Focus At A Glance up In the developing world, millions of women and babies die unnecessarily during pregnancy, childbirth, and the first months after childbirth. Most of these deaths could be prevented using proven and affordable tools and procedures that are commonly available in the developed world. We invest in the development of tools, technologies, and treatments that can be readily used by families and frontline health workers to improve the health of mothers and infants. We promote better, more frequent, and more affordable interactions between frontline health workers and families, and we advocate for better policies and increased funding to support maternal, neonatal, and child health. Our Maternal, Neonatal & Child Health strategy, initially developed in 2009, is led by director Mariam Claeson, and is part of the foundation's Global Development Division. down Every year, complications from pregnancy and childbirth claim the lives of nearly 300,000 women and permanently disable many more, mostly in developing countries. Mothers suffer primarily from hemorrhage, sepsis, obstructed labor, and disorders caused by high blood pressure. In addition, more than 2.6 million babies are stillborn, another 2.9 million die before they are a month old, and many suffer neurodevelopmental disabilities and impairments. Most neonatal deaths are caused by preterm birth, asphyxia during birth, and infections such as sepsis, pneumonia, and meningitis. Effective, low-cost interventions are available, but they are not reaching all of the women and babies who need them. In developing countries, many women deliver at home and rarely see a trained healthcare provider before or after the baby's birth. Skilled providers in poor countries often lack access to current tools or do not use them. Families may not seek care or follow medical advice. The Opportunity Share Share up Section down Related Family Planning Nutrition Most maternal and neonatal deaths can be prevented using available tools and procedures: antibiotics, sterile blades for cutting umbilical cords, drugs that prevent and treat postpartum hemorrhage, antenatal corticosteroids to accelerate lung maturation in the fetus, and best practices such as kangaroo mother care, which includes exclusive breastfeeding and skin-to-skin contact to keep the baby warm and protect from infection. Such low-cost interventions can significantly reduce deaths of mothers and newborns. Further improvements are also possible through the development of new tools and technologies that enable earlier and faster diagnosis and treatment of dangerous conditions. Our Strategy Share Share up Section down The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's Maternal, Neonatal & Child Health program focuses on expanding the use of current solutions and developing new ones to ensure that mothers and infants survive and stay healthy during childbirth and early childhood, when services are most lacking and the majority of deaths occur. A mother and child in rural Nepal, where aid organizations are promoting the use of skilled birth attendants to address the high maternal mortality rate. We also work closely with governments, United Nations agencies, nongovernmental organizations, and the private sector, and we collaborate with other programs at the foundation in areas such as nutrition, family planning, and infectious diseases. Our approach recognizes the central role of local healthcare providers. To support their work, we invest in efforts to adapt and develop innovative tools, technologies, and treatments; improve the counseling and negotiation skills of frontline health workers; encourage families to practice healthy behaviors and seek out quality maternal and neonatal care; strengthen frontline health workers' skills and effectiveness; and advocate for targeted national and global policies, funding, and leadership. We also support research efforts in many parts of the world that can lead to better ways to improve the health and save the lives of mothers and newborns. Our efforts are currently focused in northern India, Ethiopia, and northern Nigeria. Areas of Focus Share Share up Section down We focus our efforts in several areas: Go To>> Improving tools, technologies, and treatments. Improving health practices. Enhancing frontline health workers' skills. Increasing funding and improving policies. Extending benefits beyond the neonatal period. Improving tools, technologies, and treatments. To address the primary risk factors for maternal and neonatal deaths, we work to adapt current preventive and curative tools, technologies, and treatments as well as develop new ones that are more effective and affordable and will be more readily accepted by families and frontline health workers in rural and community clinics. These include managing postpartum hemorrhage with drugs such as oxytocin and misoprostol and preventing and treating newborn infections using simplified antibiotic treatment regimens and cleaning of the umbilical cord. Improving health practices. A health extension worker makes a home visit in Mojo, a town in Central Ethiopia. We work to identify and reduce barriers to adoption of effective interventions, disseminate information about maternal and neonatal health, conduct large-scale educational campaigns, mobilize local networks to improve household and community practices and social norms, and reduce financial barriers to obtaining care. Enhancing frontline health workers' skills. We work to help community-level healthcare providers—particularly in northern India, Ethiopia, and northern Nigeria—advance their knowledge, skills, and use of innovative tools. Increasing funding and improving policies. According to the World Health Organization, achieving the UN Millennium Development Goals for maternal and child health will require a substantial ongoing investment. We support efforts to increase funding and build on our partners efforts globally and at the country level. We also work to develop policies and strategies that enable countries to increase use of lifesaving health interventions, raise awareness of overlooked risk factors for neonatal and maternal mortality, and expand the use of essential medicines. Extending benefits beyond the neonatal period. We believe that strengthening the skills of frontline health workers can benefit children in the critical period between birth and age 2. For example, good health practices such as hand washing, immunization, postpartum family planning, and exclusive breastfeeding can lead to improved outcomes for mothers and children as well as mitigate childhood illnesses such as pneumonia, diarrhea, and undernutrition.

Amarillo, TX -- The Texas Transportation Commission is stepping in to keep the state's airways open, after Governor Rick Perry appealed for emergency funding.
The federal budget cuts that kicked in three weeks ago have the Federal Aviation Administration planning to close 149 air traffic control towers across the country, including 13 in Texas. And at the behest of Governor Perry, the Commission will keep those towers open for the next three months.
On March 2nd, the Budget Control Act implemented the across the board federal budget cuts known as sequestration. The FAA was forced to cut about $600 million from its budget, and among those on the chopping block were some air traffic control towers.
But they only targeted contract towers, which are usually at smaller airports and staffed by subcontracted employees. Federal towers, like the ones at Rick Husband International Airport in Amarillo, will not be affected.
"Our tower - the people who run that and the controllers are all FAA employees," explains airport manager Patrick Rhodes, "and the 'contract towers' are people who have qualified to be a controller or a controller manager, but they work for a private business."
The FAA does provide local funding for upgrades and improvements in the form of an annual grant, and officials don't expect that to change.
"Typical funding that this airport gets from the FAA amounts to about three million dollars a year, and that's based on the number of people who fly out of here," says Rhodes, "But I think if the program were going to be impacted, they would have let us know by now."
The estimated annual cost of keeping the thirteen towers open is about $7 million. Without funding, the towers would have closed on April 7th.
If you'd like to learn more about the significance and impact of the cuts or read Governor Perry's letter for yourself, follow the links attached to this story.

How to save money on salad
A former salad hater has found ways to incorporate them inexpensively and deliciously into his meal plans.
This post comes from Trent Hamm at partner blog The Simple Dollar.
Lately, my wife and I have been studying ways to reduce our weekly grocery bill. We've been using several tactics to do this, which I will discuss one at a time over a series of articles.
Salads before dinner are a common staple at our house. For a long time, we would buy lots of different dressings and other items to complement the salad. While planning for a grocery trip a few weeks ago, we realized that we were about to spend $15 or so on salad accompaniments (because several of our items were depleted). We decided to try some different tactics to drastically reduce our spending on salad.
Avoid prepackaged greens. Many people buy prepackaged bags of salad greens. They're convenient and provide a variety of greens. We did the same until we started running the numbers and realized we could buy enough greens for a week's worth of salads from the fresh area, mix them ourselves, and not only eat fresher, but save some money, too.
All you have to do is select two or three fresh greens that seem interesting -- lettuce, arugula, spinach, etc. -- and take them home. Wash them up, put all of them in a lidded bowl, and mix it thoroughly. Then pop that bowl in the fridge. It'll last for several days and, if you eat salad every day, you'll blow right through it.
Make your own croutons. This is stupendously easy and quite tasty. Just take about half a loaf of bread and cut each slice into cubes. In another bowl, combine some olive oil (about three tablespoons or so -- you can put in more if you want) and whatever spices you want --garlic powder, dried oregano, perhaps some grated Parmesan cheese. Mix the spices and oil, then dredge the cubes with the oil. Toss them on a baking sheet, turn the oven to about 300 F (140 C), and bake them for about 20 minutes. These croutons will keep practically forever in the cupboard in a sealed container.
Make your own dressing. Most dressing recipes are really simple, too, and you can make quite a lot of it for pennies. AllRecipes has a huge list of dressing recipes, but my favorite is cucumber dressing. Just take a cup of buttermilk and add a tablespoon of brown mustard and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Then grate a cucumber and add about half a cup of the grated cucumber to the mix. Sprinkle on some black pepper, mix it, and keep it in a jar in the refrigerator. It'll last a long while. That's how I like it, but other people add things like minced green onions, minced parsley, dried dill, and minced celery.
- Bing: Salad dressing recipes
Make salad a routine. Salad can be a very healthy addition to any meal because it's primarily just greens. I like to eat a big pile of lettuce with about two tablespoons of dressing and a few croutons to start off a meal.
Of course, the real kicker is that, with these changes, salad is actually really inexpensive compared with the cost of the entree. So make a simple change to your diet -- start each dinner with a salad. This way, you can prepare less of the entree. Not only does this save you money in the short term at the grocery store, it can be the foundation of a much healthier diet.
I hated salad! I used to hate salads, but I found that when I started trying lots of salad variations, I found greens that I like. Today, I love nothing more than a mix of spinach and arugula. I don't really like lettuce at all, which was a big reason I didn't like salads as a kid.
Similarly, I kept trying different dressings until I found some that I really like (like the cucumber one above). You might like something different. There's an almost infinite variety of dressings.
Keep trying and you'll likely find some combination that you like. When you find that combination (or find several, hopefully), remember them and use them as ways to start your meals. It's one of those things that's a win from almost any perspective.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by RunFlowz High quality distance track spike I've been looking around for a pair of distance spikes for track and cross country. I am very picky about what my shoes look, feel, and fit like. For months i was searching the internet, and my local running stores for some spikes, with no luck. I did however, notice these online, and i eyed them, debating whether if i should purchase them, or not, for a while. Well, a few weeks ago, i finally did, and i was extremely pleased with my purchase. It looks, and feels amazing. The fit was on point, there is enough cushioning for longer workouts, and I was able to lower my 2 mile time down because i actually enjoyed lacing them up. This spike is exceptionally well made. It's no wonder the Cadence 2 is a prime choice for the best Olympic track runners. As always, well done Adidas. December 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Ninetonite Awesome spikes These shoes fit like a snug racing flat and feel like a snug racing flat, not a spike. I wear them sockless and haven't had any blisters, they are super comfy. They don't have a spike plate which makes them a great distance spike but the sharkskin on the bottom gives them great all-around traction with 5mm pins. I wear them for 400m-3000m on the track. Very lightweight, breathable, cushy and fast. All in all the best spike I have worn in 30 years of racing. March 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Running is my sport Best track shoe ever Im a 1mile and 2 mile runner for my track team and i was looking for a good shoe that would help me be the fastest. I had found it! This shoe is had ever ran in it was a ever comfortable, light running shoe. It feels like there is nothing on your foot! i was a great feeling. I finished the season in second! GREAT SHOE!!! February 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by OLYMPIAN Great Shoe I am a youth olympic runner. I will run in these at the world championships, youth olympics, junior worlds, junior usa, and many other meets for one reason- these shoes are a true performance machine. The stiffness aids in the toe-off process and these shoes are extremely comfortable. I am 3/4 of a second from breaking the national record for youth boys in the 800 in this shoe. Definetly buy if you are an elite runner! August 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by jwick Best Spikes Ever These spikes are a perfect fit, lightweight, and great quality for long distance running athletes. They did not leave me with any blisters or wounds on my feet after a long hard run. Excellent buy!! February 26, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Marcusrun23 Great spikes! This is my first distance spike i have ever used. The shoe over all is very light and very comfortable! the only problem is i had to change this spike that comes with it. but the shoe over all is great i recommend the shoe for pro or the college level or a first time track runner! March 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Marcus the artist My son loves these track shoes I really believe these track shoes helps my son receive 1st place in the 100 meters. He likes the comfort and style and I believe it will be wise that I purchase his football cleats from adidas as well. April 17, 2014

Black Violin, it's the Florida band which has staked out the unlikely intersection of hip hop and classical music. Band member Wilner Baptiste (Wil B) spoke to TPR about the band's outreach efforts in high schools.
"It's something that is very dear to our hearts because we understand," Baptiste said. "We were in a performing arts school that actually had an orchestra."
Baptiste talked about his Fort Lauderdale high school years where, due to budget cuts, he nearly missed being able to learn violin.
The owners of a burglarized bakery on the north side are refusing to give in to the bad guys. They are making the best of a bad situation by turning their loss into a gain for others.
Taylor Becken and Eric Lowe are 21 and 22 years old and together they own the C'est La Vie Bakery at Lockhill-Selma and West Avenue, which has been open about two months.
Each morning they arrive early in the morning to begin baking the day's bread, but on Monday they found their front door smashed open. Becken said his mother was the first to see the shattered door.
More than 250,000 people are expected to once again crowd Hemisfair Park and the surrounding area, including La Villita, for the bash. It's a special time of year, said Judi DeLeon, executive director for the San Antonio Parks Foundation.
"This is a tradition," DeLeon said. "The carnival is here, it's a safe setting. We're right in the middle of downtown. SAPD will be all around us and we've got great food, great music."
A special guest was invited to be a part of the festivities, according to DeLeon, but Texas singer/songwriter Willie Nelson wasn't available.
Conspirare is a professional chamber choir from Austin that sings different types of music, from medieval to modern. The word itself may sound like it has sinister undertones, but Craig Hella Johnson, the group's artistic director, said it means, "to breathe together."
"We are so thrilled about our visit to San Antonio," Johnson said. "We are returning to a venue that we really enjoy singing in -- Laurel Heights United Methodist Church -- and we are singing this Friday."
Federal cuts to the Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program, which is commonly known as food stamps, are taking their toll on needy Texans and food banks all across the state.
The expiration of a $5 billion supplemental stimulus package is the cause for the decrease, which has hit some of the neediest Texans just before the Holiday season, affecting more than 3 million families. The timing of the decrease has also hit food banks.
In the first segment:
An old joke among Mexican nationals is that San Antonio is the safest city in northern Mexico. But San Antonio will be immune to the recently approved tax reforms taking effect next month.
San Antonio is getting a university program for students who want to learn Eastern medicine.
The University of the Incarnate Word is partnering with the Texas Health and Science University in Austin to create a degree program for acupuncture and traditional Chinese medicine that starts in spring 2014 at UIW in San Antonio.
UIW President Dr. Lou Agnese said a Chinese medicine school is a natural fit for the university's growing list of health education programs, including schools for nursing, pharmacy, optometry, and physical therapy.

Officers were chasing a vehicle east on Linne Road when it crashed in front of Linne Estates near the intersection with MacArthur Drive. Two young men were seen running from the vehicle through the neighborhood.
Mario Contreras, 18, was found allegedly hiding in the bushes of a residence. Contreras was arrested and charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and resisting arrest. He was taken to San Joaquin County Jail in French Camp, where he was also held on an outstanding warrant from Stanislaus County for a charge in the juvenile system.
Officers ended the search for the second person at about 5:10 a.m.
Contreras is scheduled to appear for a hearing in the Manteca branch of San Joaquin County Superior Court at 8:30 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 14, according to the jail website.
Tracy police received 119 calls for service Monday. The following is a sample of those calls.

1:48 p.m.: A man who was arrested for battery Saturday, Nov. 10, returned to a residence on the 900 block of West Ninth Street to retrieve his personal belongings.

2:56 p.m.: Police arrested a 48-year-old man in the area of Hickory Avenue and Tennis Lane for driving under the influence. The man was allegedly hitting curbs with his vehicle. Officers had his black Honda Civic towed from the scene.
7:01 p.m.: Transients were reported to be sleeping in front of Jiu-Jitsu Academy, 344 W. Grant Line Road. The same people have allegedly slept there on several occasions, and there was concern that they might bother the young children who attend the academy. Officers issued a warning to the transients.
10:01 p.m.: Two residents on the 1700 block of Hoops Court individually reported that a man was rummaging through recycling cans belonging to homes on the block. One resident said he found the man in his driveway and the man went to the next house when he told to move along by the homeowner. The man reportedly wore a green headband, drove a brown minivan and had a bushy beard. Officers were unable to locate the man when they arrived.

Yes three. Bitching about it makes a argument as valid as barking at a tree
In favor of the TA, I shall begin with hy largest home world, Vamtopia. Documents straight from the Red Moth.
The largest planet ever documented. (So big in fact that Jupiter is a dapper pebble in comparison). Vamtopian Imperial presence: 57% (With the a planet this large, it would take even the Immortals a few years to conquer, and with average temps so cold that even the Iceworlders refuse to visit). Our glorius Empire rapidly conquers more and more of the planet every week, but it's size has hampered our fastest attempts. Despite this, the Vamtopians are a tough race of people (Cold wise, of course) because of their fridgid planet. Vamtopian summers can sometimes last for decades, making life quite miserable for the thick-blooded Vamtopians.
-End File-
Moar maybe...
Here are your pics. Stop bitching. This volcano minus X-Wing is Vamtopia at the Equator. Though, it's inhabitants like the polar caps better.
Vamtopia. With trillions of thrivingforests, cities, mountains, volacanoes (Wanna guess where our heroes like to hang around and build their cities?) and BION, oceans. With life. Towards of the center of our painted globe, imagine a line of black going in all angles.

As we draw closer to the Greatest Candy Holiday, Halloween (OK, a quick nod to Christmas which is no slouch in the candy department), we note that even with the thousands of choices on the market to satisfy our sweet tooth, there's always room for more on the shelf.
Witness this week's announcement from Hershey's about the new caramel candy they're rolling out, first new product from the legendary candy maker in 30 years.
Followed by a shot across the bow of Hershey's "Good Ship Lollipop"...the Nestle announcement of the new Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cups.
Hershey's, of course, makes the iconic Reese's Peanut Butter Cups having acquired that brand years ago to compliment it's already famous chocolates. And, Nestlé's new brand is simply a peanut butter cup that we know and love but with the Butterfinger candy bar element added with will give it a crunch.
Butterfinger itself is a veteran of the candy counter, introduced some 90 years ago and is available as a regular size candy bar and recently joined many other brands in marketing a bite-size snack edition ands this move just takes it another step further.
So, the competition heats up in the candy industry. Hershey's, I'm sure is unfazed by the latest Nestle move and the new Butterfinger Peanut Butter Cup will no doubt find it's niche in the candy market.
Competition is good for the industry. You might even say it's delicious!

Kayaking season in South Dakota lately has been lackluster at best. In fact, last summer was rather tough as well. It's because we haven't had sufficient rainfall for quite sometime. When the rain does come, you have to be ready to rock.
It was early Sunday morning when I decided to hit the Big Sioux River. While the rain was wrapping up I packed my gear for a solo trip though the bluffs of Sioux Falls. As soon as the last drip fell from the sky, I was off.
I dropped my boat in the water at 57th & Western at about 7:45am.
Right away, I knew this was going to be a great trip. Not only was the water flowing faster than it has in years, but the morning was shaping up to become a perfect day. The remainder of the rain clouds were heading east and the sky opened up to reveal a warm, morning sun. The surface of the river was as smooth as glass and nature was waking up all around me.
Birds were chirping, fish were jumping and who knows what other creatures I was close to. Every now and then I would hear a random splash. Something was looking for breakfast. I saw quite a few different kinds of ducks introducing their new ducklings to the water. This was Mother Nature in her full glory.
The only bad part about the river running so high and moving so fast is the lack of rapids to tame. As you can see in the picture above, these rapids are far from extreme. This particular area is known for eating boats. The rocks typically scrape and sometimes poke through your kayak. Not to worry this time, the water was so high that I didn't feel a single bump.
Shortly after I passed under that bridge I had an incredible encounter with a deer. Now, it's not unheard of to see a doe or two bounding down by the river. But, rarely do you ever encounter a big 'ol buck! I just happened to look to my right, and there he was. He was hanging out in the dew drenched grass, staring at me as I floated past. Once I was finally able to fumble open the waterproof case I keep my phone in, I was already 100-yards downstream. But, this was not an opportunity I wanted to miss. Nobody would believe my story. I needed visual evidence! So, I paddled against the current back to where I originally ran into this beast. Lo and behold, he was still there! I snapped as many pictures as I could before he got sick of the paparazzi treatment and pranced in the opposite direction. Sadly, the picture below is this is the best shot I could muster. You can make out his nose and eyes in the center of the picture. He still has plenty of tan velvet on his rack. My best guess is that he's a 10 or 12-point buck. Not bad for being in the middle of the city. Not to mention, that is literally just feet from the bike path that circles Sioux Falls.
I finished my trek a little under three hours from when I started. Needless to say, it was another incredible journey. Not many people realize that nature is all around us. That's the case even if you live in a major metropolitan area. And now, I have the blurry proof to prove it!
