KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Their season started to go sour almost from the opening kickoff, so the Chiefs will take these moments where they can. A two-play sequence from early in a recent game against Cincinnati gave them a rare opportunity to feel good about their future.
Rookie defensive tackle Dontari Poe, the Chiefs' top draft pick, forced the Bengals offense off the field on their first possession, first by pushing guard Clint Boling backward and knocking down a pass. Poe on the next play used a swim move to beat the other guard, Kevin Zeitler, and forced quarterback Andy Dalton to hurry his throw, which went incomplete.
The Chiefs would eventually lose the game as their season continued to unravel. But in searching for reasons to believe next year might be better, they can point occasionally, if not consistently, to Poe.
Their second- and third-round picks, offensive linemen Jeff Allen and Donald Stephenson, have become starters. But much of the team's hopes for this group of rookies is pinned to the continued development of the 345-pound Poe.
"I'm a much better player than when I first got here," Poe said. "I came here a little afraid, but now I kind of know what's going on."
Poe has started every game at nose tackle this season but his biggest contribution has come as an inside rusher in obvious passing situations. He has no sacks but, with the plays against the Bengals standing as proof, he's making a difference.
"It's tough to get sacks, but I think I can be a big factor as a pass rusher," Poe said. "I'm going to keep working hard, and then we'll see."
The Chiefs are far from playoff contention, so continued improvement from Poe won't make their season. But as desperate as they are for signs of a bright future, they would prefer that Poe's performance arc continues to rise.
"He's on schedule," coach Romeo Crennel said. "In the past, guys who have been drafted in the first round and started to play, it takes them about three-quarters of a season to feel comfortable with how we want them to play and what their responsibilities are. He's adapted very well.
"I think he's making progress. (Against Cincinnati) he made a pass-rush move and got to the quarterback, and he was able to pressure him. He didn't get the sack, but he was right on him in a one-on-one situation. We've said all along that he might be able to help us more (as a pass rusher) than other noses we've had in the past."
Poe is often compared to Glenn Dorsey and Tyson Jackson, other defensive linemen recently drafted by the Chiefs in the first round. But Poe is already giving the Chiefs more than Dorsey or Jackson ever did because he's playing on passing downs, a time when Dorsey and Jackson have gone to the bench.
Jackson, the third overall pick in the 2009 draft, knows the difficulty of being a defensive lineman and having to convert to the Chiefs' two-gap system. Poe appears to be more advanced in that regard than either Dorsey or Jackson as a rookie.
"He's coming along pretty (well),'' Jackson said. "He's got to keeping working to get better, just like everybody else. He needs to make a lot of improvement during the offseason. He should sit back and think about what happened to him during the season, how teams tried to block him, and get ready to beat that next year.
"He's a big, physical, active player and he's going to be a great player. He just needs to continue to keep working on his craft.''

»View the GI Dermatology Clinic flier to learn more about candidate criteria and how to refer a patient to the region's first Gastrointestinal Dermatology Clinic.
Procedures performed by our dermatologists include:
UPMC Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Health CenterThe UPMC Cosmetic Surgery and Skin Health Center is the most comprehensive dermatologic laser facility in the region and is unique in academic dermatology. The center offers a full spectrum of cosmetic services and procedures. Medi-spa services using highly advanced skin care products, facials, lasers, peels, fillers, and more are offered in both of the Center's Wexford and Shadyside locations. Cosmetic surgery procedures are offered in the Wexford location.
The Contact and Occupational Dermatitis CenterThe Contact and Occupational Dermatitis Center (CODC) is dedicated to determining the cause of persistent dermatitis, or eczema. This disorder typically manifests as an itchy rash that does not go away with simple treatments. Research has shown that many of these rashes are due to substances that come into contact with the skin (contact dermatitis). When the patient comes into contact with a substance at work that is causing a rash, this is called occupational contact dermatitis.
The CODC has a comprehensive panel of substances with which patients are tested to determine if one of the substances is the cause of their rash. If a cause can be found, specific recommendations can be made for avoiding the substance. The testing is typically performed over three office visits that occur over a one-week period.
Cutaneous Oncology CenterUnder the direction of the Department of Dermatology, the Cutaneous Oncology Center at Hillman Cancer Center offers patient education, screening, diagnosis, follow up, and treatment options for all types of skin cancers. The center also serves as a center for clinical trials for cutaneous oncology therapies.
DermatopathologyDermatopathologists at the UPMC Department of Dermatology identify changes in the skin and work with your doctor to develop the best course of treatment. Dermatopathology specializes in the optimal diagnosis of dermatological coniditions, whether that diagnosis stems from an overall consultation or the results of a skin biopsy.

After days of searching, a Spartanburg man wanted in connection with a fatal assault in a parking lot on North Church Street was arrested Sunday.
After days of searching, a Spartanburg man wanted in connection with a fatal assault in a parking lot on North Church Street was arrested Sunday.
Roderick Germaine Wynn, 43, whose last known address is 236 River Forest Drive, Boiling Springs, has been charged by the Spartanburg Public Safety Department with aggravated assault and battery, Capt. Art Littlejohn said.
Wynn is being charged in connection with an assault on Curtis Edward Goldsmith, 56, of Woodruff.
Littlejohn said the department received an anonymous tip Sunday that a person matching Wynn's description was seen walking near Cleveland Park.
"When an officer saw him, he (Wynn) tried to hide his face," Littlejohn said. "That's what made the officer suspicious."
Officers lost sight of Wynn, but later turned up at a vacant house on Asheville Highway. He was ordered out of the house by officers and taken into custody without incident.
"He came out with his hands up," Littlejohn said.
Police say Wynn attacked Goldsmith in the parking lot of Money Tree on North Church Street at about noon Wednesday because Goldsmith reportedly owed Wynn money. A witness said they saw Wynn pick Goldsmith up and slam him against a trash bin in the parking lot, police said.
According to an incident report, a woman walking through the parking lot saw Goldsmith slumped over the steering wheel of a Jeep. The woman told police that she tried to wake Goldsmith, and recognized him as the maintenance worker for Fremont School Apartments, the report states.
Witnesses told police that they saw Wynn, who they both know as "Roger," running from the scene, according to the report.
Spartanburg EMS responded and tried to revive Goldsmith at the scene, then took him to Spartanburg Regional Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
SWAT officers and K9s teams, assisted by the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office, searched door-to-door at Fremont School Apartments Wednesday but were unable to find Wynn.
An autopsy conducted Wednesday could not immediately pinpoint the cause of Goldsmith's death, Capt. Regina Nowak said. Goldsmith's skull was not fractured during the assault. More tests from the autopsy are pending and if they show that the assault directly led to Goldsmith's death, the charge against Wynn could be upgraded to murder, Nowak said.
Wynn has a long criminal record, dating back to 1990, according to the State Law Enforcement Division. He had been arrested in the early morning hours the day of assault on charges of trespassing and giving false information to police, and released about 6 a.m.
Littlejohn said the department received numerous tips about Wynn's whereabouts before his arrest on the assault charge Sunday.
Wynn remained at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility Sunday night awaiting a bond hearing.

Arkansas Senate passes legislation allowing guns at schools operated by a church.
Arkansas Senate passes legislation allowing guns at schools operated by a church
The Arkansas Senate has approved legislation that would allow concealed weapons at churches that also operate private schools.
The Senate voted 29-4 Thursday and passed the bill by Republican Sen. Bryan King of Green Forest. It would allow — with the church's permission — concealed handguns to be carried at churches that also operate private schools.
The bill now heads to the House for consideration.
The measure is a follow-up to a bill sponsored by King and signed into law earlier this year that left it up to churches and other places of worship to decide whether to allow concealed weapons into their buildings.
Arkansas lawmakers give their final approval to bill changing charter school approval process
Arkansas lawmakers have given their final approval to a bill to change the way the state approves charter schools.
The Senate voted 32-3 Thursday for the bill designating the state Education Department instead of the Board of Education as the primary authorizer of charter schools. A spokesman said Gov. Mike Beebe plans to sign into law the proposal by Republican Rep. Mark Biviano of Searcy.
The bill would require the state education commissioner to appoint a panel of his staff to review and approve charter school applications. The Board of Education would have the power to review that panel's decisions.
Biviano had originally proposed legislation that would have taken the power to approve charter schools from the state board and would have created a new independent commission to consider applications.
Arkansas House committee votes down proposal to rewrite the state's school choice law
An Arkansas House panel has rejected a proposal to rewrite Arkansas' school choice law that a federal judge struck down as unconstitutional.
Lawmakers on the House Education Committee on Thursday voted against the measure, which would allow students to change schools for a variety of reasons, one of which was based on race.
A judge struck down the law last year, saying it couldn't rely solely on race to determine transfer eligibility.
Some lawmakers appeared interested in waiting for an appeal in that case before rewriting the statute.
A proposal to allow students who have already transferred to other districts under the school choice law to remain in those districts failed to clear the Senate on Monday. Two other competing proposals to rewrite the school choice statute have been filed.
Arkansas lawmakers pass legislation expanding lobbying ban to other officials
Arkansas lawmakers have given final approval to a bill to ban the state's constitutional officers and judges from becoming a lobbyist for a year after they leave office.
The Senate unanimously approved and sent to the governor the bill that expands a 2011 law placing one-year moratorium on lobbying for former House and Senate members.
The proposal by Republican Sen. David Sanders of Little Rock applies to the state's seven constitutional officers, circuit judges, district judges, Supreme Court justices and Appeals Court judges and would prohibit them from becoming lobbyists for a year after their terms end.
It would also place a one-year lobbying ban on employees of those offices.
The Senate approved an earlier version of the measure, but had to sign off on an amendment adding a co-sponsor.
Consultants say Ark. agency overestimated long term benefits of financing plan for steel mill
Consultants hired by the Arkansas Legislature say economic development officials overestimated the long term benefits of a proposal to finance a proposed $1.1 billion steel mill and didn't consider uncertainties surrounding the project.
The Legislature on Thursday released a summary of the report by IHS Global Insight. The company was hired to look at the cost and benefits of the proposed Big River Steel project.
Gov. Mike Beebe has asked lawmakers to approve a $125 million financing plan for the mill.
IHS said the steel industry can absorb the addition of the mill, but Big River may not be able to meet its production goals if another major facility opens.
State economic development officials note that the proposal includes provisions to recover costs if the mill doesn't meet performance goals.
Proposal to divert general revenue to Arkansas highways fails before House panel
A proposal to divert tax revenue from car sales in Arkansas to highways has failed before a House panel after state finance officials and education advocates warned that the move could threaten state services.
The bill by Republican Rep. Jonathan Barnett of Siloam Springs failed to advance past the House Public Transportation Committee. The panel voted 10-9 in favor of the bill, but it needed at least 11 votes to move to the House floor for a vote.
Barnett's proposal would have diverted revenues from the sale of new and used vehicles to state highways. The transfers would occur only if state sales tax collections exceeded $2.25 billion and would have phased in over time.
State officials estimated the move would cost the state $345 million by 2025.
Ark. House panel approves proposal to tighten laws on body art
An Arkansas House panel has advanced two proposals that would tighten the state's laws on body art procedures.
The House Public Health Committee on Thursday unanimously approved the measures, which were both supported by the tattoo industry.
One of the measures would prohibit body art procedures on minors under 16 years old except for ear piercings and limit certain piercings on people under 18 years old. Arkansas previously had no age limit on body art and required only parental consent.
The other proposal would bar body artists from performing sub-dermal implants, a practice that backers say should be left to plastic surgeons. The bill would also leave it up to the Health Department to decide whether to regulate scarification. A previous version of the bill would have banned the practice.

Sheehan announces bid for Albany mayor
Albany city treasurer officially announces bid to unseat fellow Democrat Jennings
ALBANY – City Treasurer Kathy Sheehan officially announced her candidacy in next year's mayoral race on Saturday.
Sheehan, a Democrat who was elected treasurer in 2009, has long dropped hints about her planned mayoral run. On Saturday afternoon, in front of Washington Park's Moses Statue, she made it official.
"Let's face it, there is only one office in Albany that can deliver the changes many of us want," said Sheehan. "I am here to announce that I am running for mayor.
"It is time I use my experience to tackle the truly serious challenges that Albany really faces: poverty, inequality, disinvestment and inefficient city government." Mayor Jerry Jennings, 64, a five-term incumbent and fellow Democrat, has given no public statement on whether he will seek a sixth-term, though he has also given no indication that he won't seek reelection.
Before her turn as treasurer, Sheehan was a corporate attorney with the Latham tech firm Intermagnetics General Corp. In 2009, she defeated longtime treasurer incumbent, Betty Barnette. Sheehan raked in more votes in that year's Democratic primary than any other candidate for a citywide office, including Jennings.
That was her first bid for an elected office.
Sheehan said that her three main priorities as mayor would be creating economic opportunity, revitalizing neighborhoods and diminishing blight, and crafting a "fiscally sustainable" city government.
Corey Ellis, the 3rd Ward councilman who won 44 percent of the primary vote against Jennings in 2009, has also indicated plans for a second mayoral run. School board President Dan Egan has signified that he may consider candidacy, as well.

Browsing galleries here and on other PB forums I have come to the conclusion that 90% of the Mag stuff out there is in the possession of about 10% of the Mag wielding population. Some of you people (::cough cough:: knownothingmags ::cough cough: are hoarding Mags! My own Mag family consists of a Classic RT, Pnue-RT, Z-Grip/warp X-RT, and enough odds and ends to assemble a minimag/classic that I'm planning on turning into a pump. I've owned and parted with 5 others over the last 15 years.
So raise your hand if you're a hoarder. Maybe share some family pictures. Maybe put the stuff you're not using on BST so the rest of us can hoard.

A Dutch citizen arrested in northeast Spain on suspicion of launching what is described as the biggest cyber attack in internet history operated from a bunker and had a van capable of hacking into networks anywhere in the country, officials said on Sunday.
The suspect traveled in Spain using his van "as a mobile computing office, equipped with various antennas to scan frequencies," an Interior Ministry statement said.
Agents arrested him on Thursday in the city of Granollers, 35 kilometres north of Barcelona, complying with a European arrest warrant issued by Dutch authorities.

Recently, the call to redress the lack of diversity in UK boardrooms seems to have grown louder. In the past few years, a number of studies have established a correlation between the gender balance of a company's senior leadership team and its financial performance, as well as the ethnic diversity[1] of company boards and financial performance. Meanwhile, during the same period, several European countries, including France and Belgium, have joined Norway in instituting gender quotas in the boardroom. The initial results from these measures are causing many in the UK to question whether quotas should be reconsidered.
These results, however, can be misleading. Quotas may inevitably achieve diversity, but diversity on its own does not lead to improved performance. Typically, when you mix in-groups and out-groups the only guaranteed result is conflict. Regardless of whether this conflict is expressed or suppressed, it often detracts from performance. However, under certain magical conditions, diversity creates conflict that is synergistic – resulting in significantly better performance. We know from academic research in social psychology that two key ingredients make a world of difference here: trust and psychological safety.[2]
Muscles of stigma
Creating trust and psychological safety in diverse groups requires a level of skill. Our natural instincts lead us to identify with those from our in-group and not from our out-group. They lead us to value the opinions of those we deem to be high-status and dismiss the opinions of those we deem to be low-status. These muscles of stigma are deeply programmed and once upon a time were essential for the survival of our species on the savanna. They ensure that in groups that are homogenous and accepting of the status quo, trust and psychological safety are a given.[3]
In diverse groups, these same instincts lead to distrust and reactivity. To overcome this, we must learn to empathise with those who appear to be different from us. We must remain open to understanding the opinions of those who do not appear to be high-status and then exercise judgment in evaluating their merit. For this reason, when trust appears naturally in diverse groups, it is more likely to have been earned. Likewise, when psychological safety occurs naturally in diverse groups, it usually goes deeper. Members not only feel comfortable with each other's presence, but can also be their authentic selves, express unconventional ideas and respectfully disagree.
Muscles of synergy
Thus, when diversity emerges organically at the top of an organisation, these muscles of synergy are more likely to be present. This is why the studies[4] are able to demonstrate a strong correlation between diversity and high performance.
The problem with quotas is that they are often used like a bandage on an infected wound. They mask unhealthy conditions beneath the surface and can lull us into believing the problem has been solved when this is far from the case. Under the best circumstances, quotas change the diversity makeup of a board but do little to affect performance. This is what we see happening in Norway – a country that already stands out as one of the most advanced when it comes to gender equality. In the 10 years since the quota was implemented, there has been little change in the gender balance of executive board members and little to suggest a trickle-down affect within corporate culture.[5] At their worst, the top-down nature of quotas encourages a lack of ownership for the change, and further reinforces stigmatisation. We see this in the US where women and ethnic minorities appointed under affirmative action policies are often viewed as less qualified, less competent and less legitimate in their role. And yet, there is no evidence that they are less competent or perform less effectively than their counterparts.
Nonetheless, quotas remain tempting. It is difficult to build a pipeline of talented women when they see no one who looks like them at the top, when effective networking requires late-night drinking with the opposite sex or learning to play golf and when company-wide associations of leadership and power seem inherently male. Likewise, cultivating the muscles of synergy is challenging when everyone appears to be the same. The self-perpetuating cycle of demographic elitism needs to be interrupted for the benefit of all, and it is easier to start by changing things at the top.
Investors looking to be responsible stewards of their portfolios should be critical of companies with homogenous boards and supportive of those with explicit targets, but wary of an exclusive focus on quotas. Meaningful change – the type that heals the wound beneath the bandage and leads to better company performance – requires shared ownership of the solution. Investors are in the best position to incentivise this change by gaining a more sophisticated understanding of why diversity matters and how a healthy culture of diversity can be achieved. Only then can they effectively hold companies to account.

Which Dallas QB will start the Next game Vs Carolina

RomoZilla, All those picks he threw yesterday are correctable. I mean did any of you guys see how quick he was reading the defense and finding open targets? He threaded the needle at least 5 times in that game with beautiful passes. And too me it looked like it was easy for him to move the ball, get rid of those mental mistakes and a few inaccurate passes and he would have had a stellar game. Bledsoe on the other hand has trouble just dropping back into the pocket.Whats up buttercup!
Start them both.. two qb system!

Originally posted by Staubach12Originally posted by ghettosermonOriginally posted by Staubach12Romo should start. People may point to the fact that he threw 3 picks, though only 2 were his fault. When Bledoe in the game, it was 3 and out, the offense wan't moving consistantly, and we just couldn't get anything done. However, when Romo hit the feild, we moved the ball. He got Witten involved (thank God!). He (I'm going to get lots of crap for this) showed flashes similar to a young Brett Favre. For example, he never had to plant his feet, he just threw it and it was a great ball and that reminded me of Favre. He threaded the needle on several throws. Yes, he made mistakes, but he will improve. I promise you he will improve. I have more faith in Romo as a Cowboys fan. In the redsone when we didn't hand it off (when Bledsoe was in) I panicked for a few seconds. I didn't want Bledsoe to throw that ball, because I know how bad he really is. He ofcoarse, didn't throw that ball, he ran it in; but still, when he has the ball I hold my breath and hope he doesn't screw us over. When Romo drops back, I smile and wait for a flash of brilliance. As of now, Romo is a better QB. Yes, let me say it again, Romo, the undrafted FA is a better QB now than Drew Bledsoe, a former #1 pick. Right now, I see the Cowboys going 8-8 or 9-7. We're just not a good team, and IMO, the playoffs isn't possible from where we stand right now as a team, so Romo gives us faith for the future. All we need to do is pick up some FA linemen, draft a few linemen and a young WR and we have a chance next year, and when you're looking to next year, you obviously need to look to the QB of the future.
i feel like your giving up too soon, the chances of us making the playoffs are VERY high now that a change was made...we have the pieces to get there, and we only have one more loss then the giants, and the same as the eagles, who knows how things play out....we very well could win our division, people act as if 6 games is enough to call it quits....8-2 in our final stretch is not out of the question....
our schedule is tough coming up, but so is philly's, and the giants have tough games remaining as well, but every team we have left we CAN beat, its not a situation where we play anyone that we just cannot match up with and beat, and its too much time left to call it quits....
10-6 could very well be in place, or 11-5, im not calling it out of the question...carolina is in the same situation as us, third in their division, 3 losses, do you think they just wrapped it up for next year, no, nor has anyone else in the league because they know better....
we have way too much talent, and if romo gets comfortable its very easy to see us having double digit victories
Originally posted by Scott WrightI guarantee that if someone picks Cam Newton in the Top 5 they will regret it.
Tony Romo is going to start.Vince Young is going to prove he's the next overrated QB to come out in years.
He'll probably end up being a WR or something...
Originally posted by ShiverRomo actually throws to Terrell Owens and Jason Witten, unlike Bledsoe. Who basically only threw to Glenn, he clearly didn't utilize them like he should have. This will open up the Cowboys offense.

Man Accused of Taking Army IDs to Stay in Custody
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - A federal judge has ordered that a Minnesota man accused of stealing identification information from members of his former Army unit will stay in custody pending trial.
Keith Michael Novak is charged with fraud in connection with identity theft. He is a self-described commander of a militia, and prosecutors say he planned to use the stolen information to make fake IDs for militia members.
In an order this week, U.S. Magistrate Judge Franklin Noel says Novak will stay in custody because no condition of release could reasonably assure the community would be safe.
The complaint says Novak threatened violence, and testimony during a hearing last month revealed he was armed when arrested. Novak's attorney had argued for his release, saying the statements Novak made were nothing more than boasting.

Francisco Morales Bermúdez, (born Oct. 4, 1921, Lima, Peru), general and politician who was president of Peru in 1975–80.
Morales, the grandson of a former Peruvian president, was regarded as a moderate among the military leaders of Peru's 1968 revolution. He was minister of economy and finance from 1968 to 1974 and chief of the army general staff in 1974–75. In February 1975 he was named prime minister and minister of war by Pres. Juan Velasco Alvarado, whom Morales overthrew in a bloodless coup on August 29. His aim, he said, was to "consolidate" the radical reforms of Velasco's military regime, which had included the nationalization of several sectors of the economy and a sweeping land reform program. But within a year, Morales had begun to reverse the nationalization of industry and had excluded from his cabinet most of the early protagonists of the 1968 revolution. In 1977 Morales presented the four-year "Túpac Amaru Plan," designed to return the country to civilian rule, reduce state control of the economy, and encourage foreign investment. Morales held elections on May 18, 1980, and stepped aside for the winner, Fernando Belaúnde Terry, the civilian president who had been overthrown by the military 12 years earlier. Morales ran for president unsuccessfully in the 1985 elections.

We've heard occasional rumblings about Microsoft's next operating system — Windows 8 — for quite a while now. Rumors were flying about it even before Windows 7 was released. I even reported on one juicy tidbit back in October of 2009.
But now all of the speculation and gossip can be put to rest, at least partly. Microsoft recently made available the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, which lets us see the wonder that will be Windows 8 for ourselves.
This is, as the name suggests, a preview, and Microsoft has called it a work in progress. But the new OS, designed for tablets as well as laptops and desktops, will mark a significant change in the user experience, and we thought it worth checking out some of the changes in store.
Related stories:
Windows 8 to arrive on 32 new tablets?
Playing well with Windows 8: Will other browsers work with the new OS?
The first thing it does when you download it is check your system for compatibility. It took about 20 minutes to go through our decently high-end computer running Windows 7 Professional and check all of our programs and devices and see if they could be used within the Windows 8 environment.
We got a few warnings about some third-party software that we had not uninstalled after testing it, but other than that we were good to go. Then after downloading the OS, checking files and installing it, we were in business.
Note that this is not just a shell program that runs on top of your current OS. This is an actual OS that will overwrite your current one, and perhaps your files as well. We remembered that the last two "test drives" – the ones for Vista and Windows 7 – totally replaced the operating system of whatever computer it was installed on. Microsoft says so in its FAQ – there is no way to uninstall it short of re-installing the old OS.
So don't do this on a computer that you will need anything from without completely backing up first. There are also options for installing on an empty partition or creating a boot DVD or flash drive.
The default interface of Windows 8 is like that of a Windows Mobile device. Not that this is necessarily bad, but if you aren't used to it, your learning curve is going to make the one for adapting to Windows 7 look like a hike through Kansas (and for desktop and laptop Windows users, you're definitely not in Kansas anymore). I remember how frustrated I became when Windows 7 first came out, upgrading from XP, in having to figure out how to do everything all over again.
I'm starting to feel that again with Windows 8, but I will climb this learning curve if it kills me. Of course, if the pain is too much, there are settings that will present a more familiar style of interface.
Everything in Windows 8 looks alot like a Windows phone. There are blocks for applications, blocks to run programs, blocks to get into the system menus and pretty much a visual representation for everything. It really seems designed for a touch screen, or even a tablet, though clicking with a mouse works, too.
All the blocks are color-coded and customizable, so blue can be for your business applications, for example. And if you, say, spend a lot of time on Facebook, you can have that app launch when you boot with your status right there in one of your blocks.
So this is going to be a big change, like when Windows XP became Vista, and not so much like when Vista became Windows 7. The new Windows 8 makes a lot of sense, probably more so to the younger generations used to doing everything on their phones, and looks to be more customizable than any previous version of Windows. But it's going to be a shock to a lot of people.
We'll be monitoring the development of Windows 8 in the lab and keeping you up to date on various changes as this rolls forward — and, of course, we'll review it with an exhaustive series of benchmarks and other tests when it officially appears. The next pre-release version is due in June, with the full roll-out later this year, reportedly in October.
If you're feeling adventurous, you can try the preview yourself. Just be careful, and back up your old system first!

for those at microsoft that are confused, let me please remind you that for decades now you have been working 'away' from the desktop, to the point that w7 now loads nothing on the desktop. and w7 touts the best search ever, who needs a menu when you can just search ... riiiight. now a single-app paradigm, tablet-form-factor style OS for our desktop ... as if that adds value to anybody really doing work. how many out there with two monitors ... three ... four ... more? my point it that a tablet and desk top are entirely different paradigms, and one size does NOT fit all.
I've been using Windows 8 Consumer Preview for a while now. I am a professional when it comes to Windows OS/DOS..etc.. I LOVE WINDOWS 8
It makes my life so much easier. It's fast, and works when I need it to work.
Since the consumer preview is half baked, I will say that so far so good.
I'm glad OS manufacturers don't design cars. Otherwise we might find the steering wheel in the back seat. Or worse, in the trunk with a little screen and video camera to view the road (they would say you are safer there). Like the qwerty keyboard which is one thing that should have been changed before about 1950, better not change it now, as everyone is used to it.
The key is user functionality. I use computers to get things done. I don't have time, nor do I want to learn a radically new user interface to the OS every couple of years deyond some new features and software. Sure pressing start to shut down was stupid, but leave it alone as we all know where it is, just like keys on the qwerty keyboard. MS Office 2007+ drove me to linux and I was pleasantly surprised. Then Ubuntu launched Unity. With dual 30-inch monitors, I would have to move the mouse a meter and a half to click on the file menu and it now takes several clicks to change desktops, or to get a command window. If the people who designed OS's actually had to use them for work, maybe they would see the folly of their constant experiments. Sometimes a user interface just works and doesn't need changing. Computers should adapt to the needs of the user and the OS should stay out of the way. Improve functionality under the hood. For example: plug in a USB drive, why should I wait a minute for drivers to be installed (on windows)? On linux by the time I move from plugging in the drive to my hands on the mouse or keyboard, the device is ready. That is a good example of the OS being ready for the user. I can see next the mouse going away and touch screens only. Well I do imaging and do not want a screen full of fingerprints all over my images.
Not really since Windows 2000 has Windows truly improved. Microsoft spent the last dozen years changing the user interface as a proxy for actual innovation to the dismay of long-term users who now can't find anything.
"a big change, like when Windows XP became Vista", Have a closer look, this is more like Windows 3.11 to Windows 95. The programs that can run, rather the Apps that can run are as different from the old programs as DOS based programs were to Windows based programs. This is a new ball game, one that is going to be a hit I think, I have been using it since last fall an I can't go back. Sure there is a learning curve but I have easily located everything I use without any problem (and I consider myself a power user) To those that lament the demise of the start menu need to look again, it is alive and well, just easier to use and with live tiles sometimes just a glance tells me if I need to open the app or not. The old desktop is there as well, just like always.

The new MINOX DTC 1000 with GSM function: Innovative, intelligent and fast
The new MINOX DTC 1000 with GSM function: Innovative, intelligent and fast
Observation cameras are now commonly used to inspect, record and study nature and hunting grounds, and also for the surveillance of houses, gardens, boats or company premises. The optics specialist MINOX is therefore expanding its current range of game and observation cameras with the new DTC 1000 model that features an integrated GSM function. The images captured photo or video are transferred quickly and directly to a stored cell phone number by MMS or to an e-mail address. The advantage offered by this function is that the user can respond to the situation immediately, from anywhere, and take any necessary action.
With its 8 megapixel resolution the new MINOX DTC 1000 achieves an outstanding imaging quality with pin-sharp definition, high contrast and natural colour rendition. The high power infrared flash with a range of up to 15 meters ensures reliable images, even in unfavourable light or in twilight conditions. A black filter fitted in front of the infrared flash makes the wavelength range of the flash invisible to people and animals alike. The new and innovative GSM function with immediate data transfer of the shots via MMS or e-mail makes the new DTC 1000 an ideal tool for use in hunting grounds as well as for safeguarding property and personal safety.
The intelligent design of the motion detector offers greater flexibility and recording efficiency. Due to its individually adjustable sensitivity the camera only captures desired objects and excludes all recordings of irrelevant motions such as moving branches or grass.
And thanks to its extremely short shutter delay of just 1 second the new DTC 1000 is always a highly reliable tool. All data are additionally stored on an SD card with up to 32 GB, or they can be directly read off from the integrated 2-inch monitor.
The reliable camera technology of the MINOX DTC 1000 is protected by a sturdy and weather-resistant plastic body that keeps out water, dust, cold and heat.
The new MINOX DTC 1000 comes with a fixing strap and USB cable and is available from specialist dealers.

Mission Safety (http://www.missionsafety.com)
Mission Safety has been an industrial safety company for over a decade. We recently began offering a large number of safety training courses.
Our safety courses are unique for 2 primary reasons. Every one of our rescue and safety personnel is a trained firefighter, paramedic, or water/rope rescuer. These same individuals are the ones teaching the courses, so if you take a fire extinguisher course, the individual training you is actually a trained firefighter. This adds a sense of authenticity to the courses.
Secondly, many safety courses these days tend to be boring and only focused on getting through the curriculum as quickly as possible with as many people as possible, to make as much money as possible. Our focus is on ensuring the courses are actually involved and exciting so that people learn the required skills and techniques needed to save lives.
Visit http://www.missionsafety.com for more info on our company.
Our target market is two fold. Primarily we are trying to target middle managers who make the decisions on where a industrial company gets its safety training from. These individuals may already have a company that they use, or simply tell new employees to find training on their own. Either way we want them to decide that Mission Safety is a better option, and contact us.
The secondary target market is an individual who may have just been hired at an industrial company, or who needs to retake courses that are outdated. The individuals themselves may be responsible for acquiring the training they need, but the majority of the time, the company they work for has some sort of a say in it
We have attached a pdf of a rough draft to provide an idea of what needs to be included. The image the ad contains can be implemented into your design, and if the winning design utilizes the image, we will provide you with a high res version to use. If you choose to create or use a different image that still conveys the message we intend, that is totally fine. We have attached a psd file of our logo which needs to be fairly prominent in the ad.
Other requirements:
1. Designed in full color but able to convert to b&w if needed
2. Design for a full page newspaper ad, and a 1/2 page ad (should be exact same ad, just size converted)
3. The ad needs to be focused on industrial safety training
4. Most safety courses are boring, so the emphasis is on Mission Safety providing a more exciting training experience
5. The ad is primarily going to be used in newspapers, so it needs to be funny, or immediately grab your attention. We have provided a headline that we like, but are open to suggestions
6. The headline and content provided are not set in stone, but they convey the general direction the ad needs to take
7. The ad should include
a) A headline
b) A image
c) A summary type paragraph that ties it all together
d) The contact information and logo for Mission Safety
We will comment on designs. Contact us through 99 designs with any questions
We are going to be placing the ad in a variety of different media's. So a well organized design file would be greatly appreciated. The first paper we use is Full Page w/full bleed 10" x 11".

The following is the conclusion to a larger article, written by Bill Moyers, on the struggle between plutocracy and democracy as we see it being played out in the United States today. This is something that has concerned me for a considerable time, particularly with the advent of Citizens United Supreme Court decision, but even before then, when it became obvious that money had a considerable impact on the law and both civil and criminal court decisions in favor of those who have the gelt vs those who don't.
Frankly, I make no bones about saying that I hope this piece makes you uncomfortable as hell.
The Unfinished Work of America
In one way or another, this is the oldest story in America: the struggle to determine whether "we, the people" is a moral compact embedded in a political contract or merely a charade masquerading as piety and manipulated by the powerful and privileged to sustain their own way of life at the expense of others.
I should make it clear that I don't harbor any idealized notion of politics and democracy. Remember, I worked for Lyndon Johnson. Nor do I romanticize "the people." You should read my mail and posts on right-wing websites. I understand the politician in Texas who said of the state legislature, "If you think these guys are bad, you should see their constituents."
But there is nothing idealized or romantic about the difference between a society whose arrangements roughly serve all its citizens (something otherwise known as social justice) and one whose institutions have been converted into a stupendous fraud. That can be the difference between democracy and plutocracy.
Toward the end of Justice Brennan's tenure on the Supreme Court, he made a speech that went to the heart of the matter. He said:
"We do not yet have justice, equal and practical, for the poor, for the members of minority groups, for the criminally accused, for the displaced persons of the technological revolution, for alienated youth, for the urban masses… Ugly inequities continue to mar the face of the nation. We are surely nearer the beginning than the end of the struggle."
And so we are. One hundred and fifty years ago, Abraham Lincoln stood on the blood-soaked battlefield of Gettysburg and called Americans to "the great task remaining." That "unfinished work," as he named it, remained the same then as it was when America's founding generation began it. And it remains the same today: to breathe new life into the promise of the Declaration of Independence and to assure that the Union so many have sacrificed to save is a union worth saving.
Views: 153
Most of America's founders, according to the words they spoke in the 1787 Convention, opposed democracy, so a struggle between plutocracy and democracy was never begun.
ELBRIDGE GERRY. The people are the dupes of pretended patriots, led daily into the most baneful opinions by false reports of designing men, which no one on the spot can refute. (May 31)
ROGER SHERMAN. The people should have as little to do as may be about the Government. They lack information and are constantly liable to be misled. (May 31)
ALEXANDER HAMILTON. The people are turbulent and changing; they seldom judge or determine right. Give therefore to the rich and well-born a distinct and permanent share in the government. They will check the unsteadiness of the mass of the people, and as they cannot receive any advantage by a change, they therefore will ever maintain good government. ... The people tire of an excess of democracy. (June 18)
JAMES MADISON. In framing a system we wish to last for ages, we should not lose sight of the changes the ages will bring. An increase of population will increase the proportion who labor under all the hardships of life and secretly sigh for a more equal distribution of its blessings. These may in time outnumber those who are placed above feelings of indigence. ... Landholders ought to have a share in the government, to support these invaluable interests and check the other. It ought to be formed as to protect the minority of the opulent against the majority. (June 26)
GOVERNEUR MORRIS. The second branch ought to be composed of men of great and established property--an aristocracy. (July 2)
Men don't unite for liberty or life; they unite to protect their property. (July 5)
A few of the founders were not plutocrats.
JOHN MERCER. It is a first principle in political science that where the rights of property are secured, aristocracy will grow. Elective governments also become aristocratic because the rulers will draw advantage for themselves from the many. (August 14)
EDMUND RANDOLPH. We have in some revolutions of this plan made a bold stroke for monarchy. We are now doing the same for an aristocracy. (September 5)
GEORGE MASON. This constitution will begin a moderate aristocracy. It will probably vibrate between a monarchy or a corrupt and oppressive aristocracy then end in one or the other. (September 15)
Moyers said he didn't want to romanticize "the people".
Doing that would be difficult; acts of Congress all begin with the enacting clause: The people of the United States in Congress assembled....
I learned politics while engaged in the 1970s portion of the Arizona water wars, and too-cynically concluded that those people in Congress were doing to us what none of us would do to ourselves.
The experience moved me to read, in Max Farrand's Records of the 1787 Federal Convention, James Madison's notes on what he and his fellow founders said.
It's all on the Internet; I will shortly provide the links.
A few years ago, Amazon had the three volumes in paperback for about forty dollars.
Loren, have you and I made readers uncomfortable? They aren't taking part in the discussion.
Your guess is as good as mine. It's not exactly a happy topic we're dealing with here, though.
...I hope this piece makes you uncomfortable as hell.
Loren, your words echo those of Lucy Stone, a mid-1800s abolitionist-turned-feminist who said she would make it the business of her life to make the women of her time uncomfortable and angry at their lot in life.
She was of course wanting them to feel powerful, and to do that she had to reverse the effect of religious teachings that had made them feel helpless and subservient.
Catholicism did that to me and religions are still doing it, so today's activists have the same chore that Stone had.
I've told a lot of people that I started paying attention to politics (circa 1972, thanks to the Sierra Club) only when I became aware that politicians were "standing on my feet" and I decided that I didn't want them standing there.
I gradually concluded that both major parties are, in the words we hear now, redistributing wealth, but they distribute it in different directions. I'm not one of the 1% and I don't want a political party bringing me religion, so I'm active with the Democratic Party. If the Greens were building their party in local contests, would be active with them.
Keep on trucking, Loren.
Depend on it, Tom. Bet the farm.
When will people realize their true political power!
Good question, one for which I don't have the slightest glimpse of an answer.

Are you tormented by body acne on your chest? If so, you will want to find ways to help reduce it or get rid of entirely. There are ways to help you reduce body acne on the chest if you suffer with it frequently. The best way to help you with this may be to take note of how often you get body acne.
The more attention you pay to your body, the easier it will be to be in tune with it and this can allow you to prevent unwanted body acne from occurring as frequently. There may some activities you are engaging in that work to contribute to the body acne on the chest and by avoiding these, you may be able to avoid the acne.
For instance, do you tend to get body acne on the chest more often after a tough workout? If so, it is likely that perspiration may be contributing to your acne. One of the best ways to avoid this is to keep your skin as clean as possible. This will reduce your chances of getting body acne on the chest significantly.
Also, you can purchase clothing that can help your skin breathe better and this is a great way to help treat all your acne. Certain types of clothing are made to help reduce perspiration and this can allow you to not have nearly as much body acne in the process.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse: Frankfurt Auto Show
What Is It?
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse is a 2-door, 2-seat exotic sports coupe that promises to be among the highest-performance special editions of the Gallardo model range. Powered by a 562-horsepower V10, the Squadra Corse boasts substantial upgrades from the standard Gallardo LP 560-4. Changes include a huge rear wing, extra power and lighter components to help cut weight by 154 pounds for a total curb weight of 2,954 pounds.
How Much?
Lamborghini didn't announce official pricing, but the LP 570-4 Squadra Corse is likely to cost around the same price as the LP 570-4 Super Trofeo: $257,000 before options.
When Can You Get It?
Late 2014 or early 2015.
Add It to Your Shopping List Because...
The Lamborghini Gallardo LP 570-4 Squadra Corse is expected to be the last special edition in the Gallardo lineup -- and it may be the best one yet. In addition to wild styling and sporty upgrades like the rear wing and carbon ceramic brakes, the LP 570-4 Squadra Corse uses its monstrous V10 to hit 60 miles per hour in just 3.4 seconds. It's basically a race car for the road, derived from Lamborghini's one-make Super Trofeo race series. The only catch: Lamborghini will build just 50 units, with just 15 slated for North America.
Other Cars to Consider
Ferrari 458 Speciale -- The latest version of Ferrari's 458 Italia exotic was also shown in Frankfurt. Like the Squadra Corse, it boasts unique styling and performance enhancements over the standard model.
Used Lamborghini Aventador -- If it's crazy styling you're after, look no further than Lamborghini's own Aventador. While a new one is far more expensive than any Gallardo, used models are finally within reach of those who may miss out on the 15 U.S.-bound Squadra Corse models.
Lamborghini Gallardo LP 560-4 -- If you don't need the wing and the weight-reduced components, consider a standard LP 560-4. You won't miss much in terms of performance except going flat-out on the racetrack.
McLaren MP4-12C -- McLaren's sporty mid-engine MP4-12C offers a dual-clutch transmission and an available convertible model, though the MP4-12C is likely not as raw as the Squadra Corse.

Description of Research:
My laboratory is developing and applying high-throughput technologies to functional genomics and cancer research. These technologies allow us to systemically study the functions of genes in the human genome and their roles in tumor development. My laboratory is using these technologies to identify genes which control tumor metastasis and novel biomarkers and chemotherapies to improve the efficacy of cancer treatment.
Tumor Growth and Metastasis: Cancer affects approximately one in three individuals. The deaths of most cancer patients are the result of metastasis. The process of metastasis is a complex, multi-step, poorly understood process: it involves tumor growth, invasion, survival in the blood stream or lymphatics, avoidance of immune surveillance, extravasation, and growth at a distant site. Little is known about the mechanisms that affect tumor invasion and metastatic spread. Our laboratory is applying functional genomics technologies to in vivo animal models to identify genes that control metastasis process and understand the mechanisms of tumor invasion and dissemination. Such genes may make excellent anti-cancer drug targets, because their disruption results in the inability of tumors to grow or spread.
Non-coding RNA and Tumor Development: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are single-stranded noncoding RNAs of ~22 nucleotides and represent a novel class of gene regulators. They function as negative gene regulators by binding to 3' untranslated regions (3'UTR) of target messenger RNAs (mRNAs) and suppressing their translation or promoting their degradation. It is estimated that each miRNA controls hundreds of gene targets and as a group they regulate 30% of human genes and almost every genetic pathway. MicroRNAs play important roles in processes as diverse as normal development and cellular homeostasis. Recent evidence suggests that they can function as oncogenes or tumor suppressors. Combining a miRNA expression library in a cell-based assay, we recently identified miR-373 and 520c as promoters of tumor migration, invasion and metastasis. Our laboratory is currently using forward genetic screens to identify novel non-coding RNAs including miRNAs that regulate tumor development and metastasis.

Anthony (Tony) Reno became the Joel E. Smilow '54 Head Coach of Yale Football on Jan. 12, 2012. The 34th head coach of the Bulldogs came back to the program after serving as an assistant at Yale and Harvard. His return to New Haven transformed the Elis into a program that got better - and closer to the top of the league - each season.
Yale's 2014 campaign brought much national attention back to New Haven's gridiron. Not only was it the Yale Bowl's 100th anniversary, it was a remarkable season for the Bulldogs, who went 8-2 and had a shot at the Ivy title while ESPN's GameDay broadcast live from the season finale.
The 2014 Elis led the FCS in total offense while TB Tyler Varga '15 led the nation in scoring and WR Grant Wallace was tops in yards per game receiving. The season included an OT win over Army and an award for the nation's team of the week by the College Football Writer's Assocation of America. Reno was also honored as a finalist for the 2014 Eddie Robinson Award.
His 2013 Yale team made national news by beating a ranked Cal Poly team on the road in October. His Bulldogs also produced numerous league and national honors.
Reno, the Harvard special teams coordinator and defensive secondary coach from 2009 to 2011, helped engineer an undefeated 2011 Ivy League Championship team, which earned a No. 14 Football Championship Subdivision National Ranking. Three of his Crimson special teams units were ranked statistically among the nation's top 20 in 2011.
The 41-year-old Oxford, Mass., native and a 1997 Worcester State College graduate, helped develop 10 All-Ivy players and an All-American over his last two seasons in Boston. His defensive backs enabled the Crimson to lead the league in scoring defense while earning impressive national rankings in numerous categories.
Reno, who spent six years in New Haven and rose to assistant head coach under Jack Siedlecki, helped the Bulldogs win a 2006 Ivy title. He was Yale's wide receivers coach in 2003 and the defensive secondary leader from 2004 to 2008. His 2003 receivers played an integral role in the Blue's No. 2 national ranking in total offense. When he took over the Eli defensive backs, they helped the defense rise to new heights. The 2007 and 2008 Bulldogs were No. 1 in FCS scoring defense, while 14 of his players earned all-league honors during his Yale tenure.
A 2002 AFLAC/Coach Magazine National Assistant of the Year Award winner, Reno served as Worcester State's defensive coordinator from 1998 to 2002. The Lancers, who made two post-season appearances and went 27-5 with Reno as defensive coordinator, were 2001 ECAC Northeast Champions and made it to the title game the following year.
Reno, whose first job was defensive assistant coach at King's (Pa.) College for the 1997 season, earned a degree in history before completing a master's of science in health education from WSC in 2000. As a player at WSC, Reno was a three-year starter at free safety, and his team was league champion his last two seasons. His 1996 team led the nation in scoring, rushing and pass efficiency defense.
Reno is the first Yale football head coach from Massachusetts since Ted Coy '10 in 1910. He and his wife, Toni, have three children: Dante, Angelina and Vince.

Hi Everyone!
I'm writing to you from the midst of my final exams and term papers. I only have 1.5 weeks to go so wish me luck. 🙂
Like most of you, I was deeply disturbed by last week's horrible string of multiple events. Let me summarize in chronological order. (Note: I am in Hong Kong time zone)
1. Boston Marathon Bombing – I woke up Tuesday, April 16th to a barrage of Facebook posts about a bombing at the Boston marathon. My first thought was not again, what happened this time? Turned on the news and nothing but Boston. As the week went on, a manhunt continued for the suspects. I followed the best I could without getting off track from my studying. At week's end, the first suspect died and the second suspect was in custody. Violence isn't the answer to solve our differences people. When will this message stick. We are not cavemen, hunter gatherers nor warring nomadic tribes anymore (at least not where I am….)
2. Texas Factory Explosion – While the world's attention was focused on Boston, a random explosion in West Texas (close to where I used to live and go to school!) happened. Houses and business around the factory including the factory itself was flattened. The media obviously didn't give this story as much attention as they should if the Boston bombs didn't go off earlier in the week. I had to dig a bit deeper on the internet to learn about what truly happened. Sometimes, I feel the media twists stories to someone's benefit. I've noticed that many lawyers have already pitched the victims for business. This is seems so tasteless to me. I know lawyers need to make a living and all but at least wait until a bit after or let the victims approach you! Also, did the workers perform regular maintenance on the factory or just let it go unchecked. I haven't had the time to dig deep into this story-but that's the first thought that came across my mind.
3. Letters to Obama – In the context of last week, this was also a tiny blip in the grand scheme of events. Ricin, a type of poison, was found in letters sent to Obama. I mean, I understand we all have political difference but we don't need to resort to poison!! There is a thing in democracy called the debate-that's where you should all duke it out!
4. Sichuan China Earthquake – Heading back to Asia from the West, another massive earthquake struck China. This piece of news broke out around the same time the second Boston bombing suspect was caught. I found out through a friend's post on Facebook. So natural disasters are also bad but do we humans have anything to do with it? We dig so many holes in the ground for subways, dig caves in mountains for mines, do they impact the environment? I'm sure it does as we are all interdependent on this earth. Something to think about.
What did you all think? Any major events impacted you recently?
Enough of my rantings or complaints! Ok, now back to studying!

Will the Freedom of Information Act and other Illinois open-government laws once again be in the crosshairs of the McHenry County Board's lobbying group?
We'll find out Thursday morning, whether the Legislative and Intergovernmental Affairs Committee talks about it or not.
On the committee's agenda is a discussion of the legislation it wants to prioritize when the General Assembly's next legislative session starts in January. That, of course, means they will identify the issues or bills the lobbyist with Metro Counties of Illinois asks lawmakers to support or oppose.
And as I revealed in an Aug. 23 story, the group that lobbies on behalf of the state's 14 largest counties, and by proxy the county governments themselves, don't seem to think very highly of Illinois' newly-strengthened sunshine laws.
Among the bills that Metro Counties is pushing during the present General Assembly:
• A bill allowing governments to publish their meeting and taxation notices on their websites rather than the local newspaper (because it's more convenient for us to regularly visit a dozen government websites twice a month than to read the Northwest Herald over a bowl of Cheerios).
• A bill allowing governments to go into closed session to discuss "potential or real" fraud risks. (That won't be abused, right? "The state is defrauding us with late state aid payments! Let's talk about our budget in closed session ...").
• A bill allowing governments to deny FOIA requests if the information requesters seek is online (if you're too old to want a computer or too poor to buy one, well, maybe you should leave government to younger people with money).
Among the bills that Metro Counties is opposing:
• A bill requiring that meeting agendas be "sufficiently descriptive" for the public to determine what public bodies will discuss and vote upon (because you're better off not knowing, especially in Illinois. Trust us. We're the government.).
• Bills requiring the state website to have a searchable database of all county, township and municipal employee salaries, and an online database of local tax rates and to what funds they're extended. (C'mon, you whiners, it's not like your property tax bills increased while your home values fell or anything crazy like that.)
These aren't all of the bills that their lobbyist is pushing. And by the way, it's your tax dollars that are funding the effort to scale back the laws mandating your right to know.
Some people in county government were mighty sore when I wrote the story on how you're paying to help government keep you in the dark. They even addressed my story in a subsequent legislative committee meeting, which means they were upset enough to skip right away to step two of government's three-step procedure for dealing with unflattering watchdog journalism: Blame the media.
(If you're curious, the three steps are as follows: Hunker down and hope it blows over. If that doesn't work, blame the media and hunker back down. If that doesn't work, bury the issue in an ad hoc committee, preferably one that cancels more meetings than it holds.)
To be clear, I've almost never had to pull teeth to get information from McHenry County government, a fact they pointed out when they complained about my story. But McHenry County is one government out of 7,000 in the state. McHenry County's general rule of openness doesn't give their Metro Counties lobbyist an excuse to work to change state law to make it easier for other Illinois governments with less-than-stellar reputations to keep information from the public.
And as for spending our tax money to work against us, that's just unpardonable.
The meeting is set to start at 8:30 a.m. Thursday at the county Administration Building, 667 Ware Road, Woodstock.
Senior Reporter Kevin Craver can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.
We'll see whether our county tax dollars keep going to fight transparency laws
Will the Freedom of Information Act and other Illinois open-government laws once again be in the crosshairs of the McHenry County Board's lobbying group?

AnnaLou Wilson was born March 23, 1937 – the daughter of Wilbert Franz Heddesheimer and Margaret Frances Sneed Heddesheimer in Troy, Mo. She graduated high school in Salisbury, Mo. in 1955. On August 11, 1957 she married Donald L. Wilson of Salisbury, Missouri. Anna Lou and her husband Don raised their family in Rolla, Missouri. During their working life AnnaLou met many friends and fed many a good dinner to those she knew. In their retirement years they traveled to many of the places they had dreamed of in the United States. Along the way were stops to visit dear children, grandchildren and many friends.
AnnaLou was extremely talented in sewing and cooking and shared many handmade gifts with those she loved. AnnaLou and Don settled in Southern Utah in 2002 where she continued enjoying crafts, cooking and spending time with the Ladies of the Hurricane Red Hat Society. Anna Lou was the life of the party and wherever she was, a good time was to be had by all.
Along with her husband Don she is survived by one sister, Gretchen Shackelford of Ventura, CA., two daughters, Kimberly Dostoglou of Columbia, Mo. and Kelli Wilson married to Kurt Mosher of Bismarck, ND. One son, Kent Wilson married to Jaime Staples Wilson of Virgin, UT. Four grandchildren Dalton Dostoglou, Kourtney Scow, Kody Wilson and Kloie Wilson. One Great-grandson Weston Dostoglou.
Anna Lou will be dearly missed by those who knew and loved her.
A private family service is planned at a later date in Missouri.
