It will be a very long time, if ever, before the exact number of family members eligible for payment will be an issue. ''First I have to find a court'' to hear the case, Ms. Kloecker said. |
The initial suit was dismissed on the ground that the statute of limitations, which is six years for a suit against the Federal Government, had expired and that the court had no jurisdiction to hear the case. |
The family's appeal asserts that applying a statute of limitations to a case like this violates Article 6 of the Constitution, which declares as valid all debts owed by the Government before the document's adoption. To prohibit repayment of those debts effectively nullifies the entire Article, the family's lawyers argu... |
Ms. Kloecker and Mr. Murphy agree that their argument is an unusual one. |
Fresh fettuccine with Dungeness crab. |
I don’t go to North Beach often, not because I don’t like it, but because it’s usually flanked by tons of tourists (the only neighborhood that’s worse is Fisherman’s Wharf). |
My friend Dominic and I found ourselves there a few months ago to see Dave Chappelle at Cobb’s Comedy Club and afterwards, I was famished. |
We settled on dinner at Calzone’s, a bustling restaurant on Columbus Avenue in the heart of North Beach. I had the fresh fettuccinne with Dungeness crab, a dish I’d first tried here a few years back. |
Sadly, the crab was less flavorful than I remembered it and the sauce was sort of bland too. Its saving grace was the fresh pasta itself, which was more of a pappardelle. It was tender but not mushy, with a silky texture. |
I’m yet to find a really outstanding restaurant in North Beach, so if you know of one, drop me a line. I want to love North Beach, I really do. |
While passengers get on a bus, its electric battery could be charging thanks to new technology. |
One of the challenges with electric buses used for public transit is keeping them on the road all day without putting them in the garage for long charging sessions. |
But new technology could make electric buses more common in transit fleets. That's because researchers at Utah State University have unveiled first-of-its-kind technology that wirelessly powers buses. |
The Aggie Bus (above) is, according the university, the first developed by a North America organization that is powered wirelessly and the world's first electric bus with wireless power transfer technology that has a power level up to 25 kilowatts, an efficiency of more than 90 percent between the power grid and batter... |
Next year a Utah State University spin-out company, Wave, Inc. (which helped develop the Aggie Bus), will partner with the Utah Transit Authority to provide the first commercial demonstration of the bus, in 2013. And passengers of the bus won't notice a difference. |
The wait for a Tizen phone isn't over yet, but it's now a little closer to becoming a reality. At Mobile World Congress, Tizen officially launched version 2.0 of its open source mobile operating system. We also caught a glimpse of the man behind the curtain, in the form of a prototype Tizen phone from Samsung. |
From a hardware perspective, Samsung's Tizen phone is nothing we haven't seen before. The size, shape, and plastic build all bring to the mind the Samsung Galaxy S2. It has a nice big display and a thin design, but so do most phones nowadays. Samsung assured us this isn't final hardware, which I hope is the case, becau... |
On the software side, the home screen is a collection of icons, a la Apple's iOS. On the demo unit, there was only one home screen, which I suspect is because there aren't enough apps to warrant a second page. The OS still looks and feels very young, but some of the core functions, like the web browser, phone dialler, ... |
There's a sliding lock screen, along with a pull-down notifications and settings screen that are straight-up Android. Ditto for the camera app, which if you look at the image above, you’ll see is almost identical to what you get on a stock build of Android. It was also pretty slow. Now, this build of Tizen is only week... |
Speaking of apps, there weren't many on display. Tizen showed some handsets running Vimeo, some with Fruit Ninja, and others with Need for Speed, but there wasn't much else. Representatives explained that mobile ecosystems are being equated with apps nowadays, and with HTML5, Tizen can put a huge number of apps at your... |
Although Tizen has been kicking around for some time, it looks like the new HTML5-based Firefox OS will beat it to the market in the form of phones like the ZTE Open and Alcatel One Touch Fire. Both operating systems are meant to power lower-end devices, although the Samsung prototype we got our hands on is certainly o... |
On top of showing off the new OS, Tizen also announced that Huawei has signed on as a partner to offer devices in addition to Samsung, and that the first Tizen phones will be available through Orange (in France to begin with) later this year. When pressed for more details on the release date, a representative explained... |
CHICAGO – A man driving near O’Hare airport during Saturday’s snowstorm said his car was damaged by the airport’s plow crew. |
Anthony Kloster installed a dash cam in his car a few months ago because his car is very important to him. |
Saturday, Kloster drove his Subaru on I-190 when he missed his exit and had to go past O'Hare airport. |
At the same time, snow plows were clearing a nearby runway. The plow sent a cascade of snow and ice down onto the adjacent highway. |
Those chunks shattered Kloster’s windshield and dented the car’s roof. |
Kloster’s car is now at the shop for repairs but he still isn’t sure why this happened in the first place. |
WGN News reached out to the Chicago Department of Aviation about the incident. |
We are investigating the apparent snow removal at O'Hare that spilled onto the roadways yesterday. Our staff is working to get in touch with the motorist to learn more so that we can address this incident and prevent it from happening again. |
Kloster said he's in the process of filing an insurance claim. He's hopeful the cost of the insurance deductible and damage doesn't fall on him. |

Family Members Currently Employed at Company: Anthony Karlowicz, CEO & Co-founder; Edward Fabrycki Jr., President & Co-founder — both cousins. |
Back East Brewing is a small, independent, locally owned craft brewery and tap room, with distribution throughout Connecticut and western Massachusetts. |
The company was formed by Tony Karlowicz and Edward Fabrycki, two cousins who both grew up in the Hartford area. After moving "back east" from San Diego in 2000, Fabrycki, an engineer, became reacquainted with his cousin, Karlowicz (an accountant who grew up in a small business family), and learned they both enjoyed cr... |
After almost 10 years of brewing together and learning as much as they could about the science and business of brewing, Back East opened in 2012. |
In the past year, the company received various recognitions for its beer, both locally and nationally. Last year three of its IPAs were recognized on the "50 Best IPAs in America" list by Draft Magazine. They were the only brewery to have more than one IPA in the top 50, including Ice Cream Man IPA at No. 5, Intergalac... |
This past year Back East was recognized by Connecticut Magazine as "Best Brewery" in its annual "Best of Connecticut" list, and its porter beer earned a gold medal in the 2017 Great American Beer Fest. |
The craft beer industry has become incredibly competitive over the past five years. When we opened up in 2012, there were only six other production breweries in Connecticut and now there are over 60 (with another 30-plus in planning). This is not just a Connecticut trend; new breweries across the U.S. are opening daily... |
To remain competitive, we are sticking true to what we've been doing since we've opened, which is a focus on quality, innovation and trying to be a brewery that people can admire, respect and be proud to have as a local business. |
We always aim to learn and get better over time, and I think that has helped us over the years in this competitive landscape. Ultimately, we produce a product where people have hundreds of other options for, and if the liquid doesn't speak for itself, our business won't be around for long. |
Back East is like a small family, and we always try to instill family values in our employees. One of the most important values is treating others with respect (and holding them to the highest standard). |
We can't be the best at what we do if we aren't good at what we do and always get better. We do think we have the best employees and we want to treat them fairly. In addition to very competitive pay, we have very generous benefits for full-time employees, including: 401(k) plan, 100-percent company paid health insuranc... |

An 8-under-par 63 will do that, one shy of his career best and good for a two-stroke lead after Thursday’s opening shootout at Harbour Town. He sprinkled eight birdies through his round, pouring it on with three at the end. |
Here, at last, was another glimpse of the Bud Cauley that many thought would join Spieth, Fowler, Justin Thomas, Daniel Berger and others as the new wave of American talent to move onto the stage. And he might yet, though shoulder surgery has put him perhaps two years behind the curve. |
Folks may not remember that Cauley was a three-time All-American at Alabama, where he helped the Crimson Tide reach the NCAA Tournament in all three seasons. |
He won the Players Amateur here in 2008, qualifying for his first of four previous Heritage starts. He held the nation’s No. 1 amateur ranking, even beating Fowler one year at the U.S. Amateur. |
Turning pro in 2011, Cauley earned enough via sponsor invites to do something just seven men had accomplished before him — secure a PGA Tour card without facing the qualifying grind. Woods and Phil Mickelson also appear on that list, though not Spieth. |
And even though Cauley’s PGA Tour career didn’t take off on an arc like Spieth’s, reaching as high as 58th in the world rankings as he racked up six top-10 finishes in 2012. Even after an off-year in 2013, he looked to be a mainstay. |
In July 2014, though, a drive at the John Deere Classic caused Cauley’s left shoulder to pop out of its socket. |
He missed five weeks for rest and rehab, missed the cut at Greensboro and was forced to the Web.com Finals series to keep his card. He took care of business by winning the opener, then missed the cut one week later when the shoulder popped out again. |
