Abstract: We employ two models of powering of outflows from ADAF-fed black 
holes (including the Blandford-Znajek mechanism) to understand the tight correlation 
between the accretion rates and jet powers of X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies 
(Allen et al. 2006). We find that nearly maximally spinning holes are needed to 
account for the above correlation.
