COLLAPSE IN PRICES FOR NATURAL GAS SHAKES PRODUCERS
The collapse of natural gas prices in the last three months, to the lowest winter level in more than a decade, is giving the nations weakened oil and gas industry its worst jolt since oil prices fell by more than half in early 1986. Many giant companies have announced layoffs or reduced spending for new wells, and hundreds of smaller companies, many of them family-run, are going out of business. As oil companies increase their investments overseas, where costs are lower and potential discoveries more promising, the nations reliance on imported energy increases.

STEEL PLAN HURTS AREA IN ALABAMA
Almost in the shadow of the United States Steel Corporations plant lies downtown Fairfield, a Birmingham suburb where the company built its first mill about 75 years ago. Many of the businesses in Fairfield are boarded up, and have been for some time. And the towns future, often linked to the ailing U.S. Steel integrated plant, seems to be more bleak than its present: The company said Friday that the plant would be shut down next month until early 1984, when a $650 million seamless pipe mill, now under construction, will be completed. Shadow of Its Former Self Even then, the steel operation will be a shadow of its former self. The pipe mill itself will employ about 1,500 people, and smaller steel mill operations are expected.
The Textile Industry Shakes Itself Up
The yarn whips across the Nissan loom 10 times a second, piling up cloth at the rate of 12 inches a minute. A jet of water propels each strand, driving it across the face of the fabric three times faster than the fastest shuttle loom - and far less noisily. It is quiet enough to hear the robots beep as they wheel down the wide aisles, picking up rolls of finished cloth and carting them off to the trucks. Experts say that this is the most advanced textile factory anywhere. Opened one and a half years ago by Burlington Industries, the largest textile manufacturer in the world, this $40 million plant contains the latest technology in the industry. It replaces a turn-of-the-century mill down the road, which produced one-fourth as much fabric with the same 800 employees. It is on this factory, and others nearly as modern, that the American textile industry is pinning its hopes for survival and future prosperity.

At CMJ, a Critics Imagination Come to Life, Out of Alabama
Imagine a CMJ buzz band not built around some cool-headed concept involving noise or irony or ambiguities or primitivism. Imagine a band not trying to make a fashion or anti-fashion statement. Imagine a band whose vocals arent just something to put up with because thats the songwriter singing. Imagine a band named after a place that actually comes from that place. And imagine a band whose New York City debut left a CMJ Music Marathon audience literally screaming for joy.. If CMJ works right, a Thursday showcase should bring Alabama Shakes a shot at a national audience.
