Actress Olivia Wilde allowed Glamour to photograph her breastfeeding her son because ashe saysc it captures one facet of her layered personality right now.
The photo shows Wilde sitting in a diner booth while her naked son Otis is latched onto her exposed right breast. The image is part of a spread the magazine did for its September issue.
"Being shot with Otis is so perfect because any portrait of me right now isn't complete without my identity as a mother being a part of that," she told the magazine. "Breastfeeding is the most natural thing. I don't know, now it feels like Otis should always be on my breast."
Wilde admitted that not everything about the photo was natural. She said usually she's less pulled together when feeding her son.
"It felt like we were capturing that multifaceted woman we've been discussing -- that we know we can be," she added. "You can be someone who is at once maternal and professional and sexy and self-possessed. (But) I mean, I certainly don't really look like that when I'm (typically) breastfeeding. And there's usually a diaper involved."
Wilde also dispatched any talk of impending wedding bells with Jason Sudeikis, to whom she has been engaged since January 2013.
"We're engaged, but no specific plans yet -- we just have to find the time to put it together. In many ways, a child is more of a commitment. We are fully committed and really happy as a family. And there's no definition of the 'normal family' anymore. Kids today are growing up with so many different definitions of family. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't feel any pressure to do it. But I think it will be really fun."

A man who asked a Springfield Mass Transit District driver if he could retrieve a gun before boarding a bus Tuesday morning is still on the loose.
Springfield Police Lt. Bob Markovic said that a black man in black clothing was about to board a SMTD bus near the Fairfield Inn, 3446 Freedom Drive, just after 11 a.m. when he asked the driver to wait because he wanted to get his gun.
SMTD Director Frank Squires said the man did not board the bus, and that the driver did not see a weapon when he drove away. The next bus scheduled to stop at that site did not let the man aboard. Squires said the man then swung a bag of groceries at the bus, breaking a window.
Police said that after the second bus left the area, the man walked into the Fairfield Inn.
Officers surrounded the hotel, gathered those inside in the lobby and searched the building but could not find the man. Markovic said officers believe the man left the hotel before they could seal it. He said that while nobody reported seeing a gun, police are assuming the man is armed based on what he told the bus driver.
Markovic said officers don�t know which way the man fled and were searching in all directions. A more detailed description of the man was not available.

This is a true story. All of it. You can't make this up. Well, you could, but you know, I didn't.
"Finding a famous needle in a Wisconsin Haystack"
"I fought the law, and the law BELIEVES they won."
I'll start this from last night. Last night I was doing the math. Now I'm no roadtrip slouch, I know how to do them well. So when I red Tom's journey was beginning today, I figured I might be able to pull off finding Tom. I mean, he's passing through my town. My stomping grounds. I know how to work the roads out here. So time to spring into action.
I posted last night my pseudo-bribe of buying him lunch. I meant it, and I was ready to do it too. This morning, I did my thing. I got out the huge roll of butcher's paper we have in the garage. Got out the Sharpies, and made my signs.
I made one sign, "Welcome to Wisconsin", and another that just said "TOM KAYE / AO*WI EXIT 3A" This would be my road sign, the other being my car sign. Ok, it worked. I dried up one sharpie doing it, but I had my sign. Look a the clock, 1 PM. I'm right on schedule.
See, I know Tom would be passing through my hometown around 2:30 to 4 PM, depending if he'd been caught in Minnesota or not. (AKA : Land of 10,000 Petersons...) I do roadtrips by time, not by distance. LaCrosse to Chicago 'burbs is about 5 hours. No miles, it's about 5 hours. So I looked at the I-90 map, checked the mileage, cross-referenced it to Tom's post saying he was leaving 11 AM CST… and that put him in LaCrosse between 2:30 and 4. That's workable.
So time to make it work. Stop at K-Mart and get some duct tape and some masking tape, for the signs. Then drive out to the airport. I didn't realize how windy highway overpasses are until I got there, so I used the tape to reinforce the edges of the sign. After doing that, I held up the sign to the chain link fence, and ripped tape to attach it.
That's when the police car showed up.
I was waived over, and I realized I was nose to nose with the chief of police. He asked me what I was doing. I showed him the sign, told him it'd only be up until 5:00 or so, tops. I explained I was trying to get the attention of a friend, and I didn't have a cell phone to call him, so the sign was a shot in the dark idea to try to get his attention
After a little more fast-talking, telling him exactly where I'd be and showing him the sign wasn't anything foul or obscene, he decided it wouldn't do any harm to leave it up for a few hours. "But if we get any complaints about it I'll have to take it down." he said. I told him that was more than fair.
And, in a few minutes, the sign was up. Now on to part 2.
I was set up for a stakeout. Minifridge in the car, loaded with Dew. Stack of paintball mags. Pringles. CD player with the newest from "Blue Man Group". I'm ready for a stakeout. I get my sign ready, and here comes another police car.
Apparently, he was called by the Wisconsin State Patrol. THEY said the sign was "Dangerous". Yep. Paper sign is dangerous. And they were talking about taking it down. So I told the officer that I would do it. Drove back out to my sign, and took it down. Some old lady on the bridge asked me what it was all about, I told her, and she shook her head. Nice to know that I'm not the only one who thought it more than a little ridiculous.
However, while I was taking the sign down, someone honked under the bridge. I didn't see who it was. Was it Tom? Was it someone pulling my chain? Had to make sure. Jump into the car, and head for the highway. Exit 3A, nothing. Ok, so now I'm debating to myself. Now what? My sign idea is toast. I thought of going on the side of the road with the sign and holding it up, but my luck had already been pushed pretty far as far as the police was concerned. But I wasn't about to give up.
Time to try something rather rash. I decided to drive into enemy territory. Minnesota.
My logic is actually not too off. If I drive against the direction Tom would be going, if he hadn't already passed me I'd pass him, and I could turn around and make a run for him. Ok, all good, but in the drive out I realized it would be almost a lost cause. What would the odds be to actually do it?
Then I saw a brown SUV zoom past going towards LaCrosse. It had a topper on it, matched Tom's color, and had Illinois plates. Ever heard of the five stages of grief? I went through them all in ten seconds.
1-Denial- "NO WAY! NO WAY! You can't get that lucky."
2-Anger- "DANG IT! I missed him!"
3-Bargaining- "Ok, if I turn the boat around I can catch up to him."
4-Depression- "There's no way I'll ever catch him. He's gone."
5-Acceptance- "I'll try it anyway, hopefully he'll stop for gas."
Ten seconds flat. So I hit 61, found a place, and turned around. If nothing else I might get lucky. I know most of the gas stations in a 60 mile radius along I-90, and LaCrosse is the best stop (assuming he didn't stop in Minnesota.) So I had three choices. Exit 3, where there's some gas stations. Exit 4, where there's gas and fast food, or exit 5 where there's some of both.
Drove past 3, didn't see it. And got off at 4. Pulled up to the light, and looked at the good 'ol Kwik Trip, and there was the brown SUV with a topper and Illinois plates. I think I almost caused an accident swerving into the turn lane, but I got into the righ tturn lane, made the other right, and pulled into KT. And there was someone under the car, looking for something.
I pulled up. "Tom?"
He looked up. "Oh, hey Tyger! What's up?" Needle found, haystack ransacked. I guess that the trip out so far was kinda long, but it was all ok. Talked with Tom a while, all was cool. The gal in the car with him didn't recognize me until I showed her the ears. "I KNOW YOU!" she suddenly said. "You're that guy from Shatner game!"
Got a pic with Tom, all cool. And before you ask, I did come through with my promise. Tom looked like he wanted to get back on the road, but I did get him lunch. I gave him a tube of Pringles. Hey, if I though he had the time I would have taken him to Fridays or something! Really! I mean it!
So now I have a warp feed, in blue. Tom suggested I put it on my Phantom, and I can think of a way to do it too. I'll see what I can put together and make look good. Either that or I'll go to plan B, I have a line on an F/X Micromag. I think I could do one hell of a 'bodging' job. Heh, start with the feeder and work down. Not like paintball has never had that happen before...
And now, in the next few days, I'll add my new sig too, now that I've done something sufficiantly AO-like (Stalking down Tom Kaye on the highways of Wisconsin like a ravenous animal counts...) now I think I can wear the new badge on the posts :
I'll work on making it a transparent....
http://www.tyger.us/pubimages/AGD/ has a few other 'tom' pics in it, but those three are the fun ones.
(edited by Tyger to repair post, some smiles that shouldn't have been there have been removed.)

The Best Western Golden Buff Lodge in Boulder and the development rights to build two hotels on site are in the hands of a developer who was hailed as an "urban hero" for redevelopment and preservation efforts in downtown Denver.
Developer Evan Makovsky's NAI Shames Makovsky recently acquired the Golden Buff, 1725 28th St., from the Boeve family, which has operated the hotel since 1958, said brokers and developers involved in the transaction.
The property purchase came after local developer Scott Pedersen transferred his rights to Shames Makovsky, said Michael-Ryan McCarty, a Gibbons-White Inc. broker who was involved in the original purchase contract between Pedersen and the Boeves, who were represented by broker Clint Folsom, of Folsom & Company Real Estate.
Financial terms for the agreement were not disclosed or immediately available via property records.
In January, the Boulder Planning Board approved plans for the construction of a 184-room, full-service hotel, a 177-room select service hotel and a nearly 40,000-square-foot commercial building on the Golden Buff site. Pedersen, of Boulder-based Pedersen Development Group, reached an agreement with developer Lou Della Cava, who owns the neighboring building that was long-anchored by Eads News and Smoke Shop.
Pedersen signed on Denver-based NAI Shames Makovsky, a full-service commercial real estate firm, as a partner during the spring. Co-founder Evan Makovsky, a 40-year veteran in real estate, has been heralded for his work in downtown Denver, notably the efforts of acquiring a blighted block of buildings from several property owners and preparing the parcel for redevelopment.
Pedersen told the Daily Camera in the summer that he was weighing some changes -- including flip-flopping the hotels on the property, adding rooms and increasing the capacity of the meeting space and ballroom -- that would require submitting modified plans to the city.
On Monday, Pedersen said that having two entities involved in the decision-making process and the operation created some difficulty in the project moving forward.
"Handing the project to them, effectively selling our development rights and the purchase contract turned out to be a good solution for both of us," Pedersen said.
Officials for NAI Shames Makovsky, which has a lengthy history of commercial and hospitality developments, could not be reached for comment.
City spokesman Mike Banuelos confirmed that conversations have taken place recently between city planning staff members and representatives of the 1725 28th St. redevelopment. As of Monday, no formal resubmittal of the development application had been made, he said.
Co-developer Della Cava, who is responsible for the commercial building arm of the development, said that if a modified application is submitted to the city in the coming weeks, the new plans could be up for city approval in February or March.
Della Cava declined to speak to the plans for the hotel portion of the development and deferred comment to Evan Makovsky.
Separately, The Buff Restaurant, an independently owned restaurant based on the site of the Golden Buff Lodge, has started construction work across the street at 2600 Canyon Blvd., a building formerly occupied by The Original Pancake House and Black-eyed Pea.
The Buff Restaurant's operators are targeting a December opening.

TC trailed by 9 at one point
Schalon Baysinger scored on a layup to break a tie with 23 seconds left and Ramonique Redding sank two clutch free throws to Saturday to give Taft College a 62-58 Central Conference basketball victory over Porterville.
TC overcame a halftime deficit to take an 8-point lead before the visiting Pirates went on a 9-0 run to regain the lead at 56-55. The team traded baskets before Bezait Anbesse tied it at 58 with a free throw with 50 seconds left.
Redding stole the ball and dished it off to Baysinger who scored her only points of the game.
TC had three players in double figures: Zanoria Echols (15), Redding (14) and Erica Evans (11).
Taft (4-3 CVC, 9-14 overall) hosts Merced Wednesday at 5 p.m.

CHERRY VALLEY — Authorities will consider upgrading charges for three men after the woman whose vehicle they crashed into Aug. 20 on Perryville Road succumbed to her injuries and died Wednesday.
Local attorney Karen Williams, 42, was critically injured when men, fleeing from Boone County Sheriff's Police in a vehicle, did not stop at a red light and crashed into her Honda Civic in the 2000 block of South Perryville Road, police said.
Williams' death is not only a loss to her friends and family, but also to the community, said Brian Boyer.
Boyer, a State Farm Insurance agent, helped Williams found the Jefferson High School Alumni Association to take on community service projects alongside fellow J-Hawks. Williams was a 1990 Jefferson graduate.
Although she was successful as a lawyer in Chicago, Williams chose to come back to Rockford to be with her mother after her father's death about four years ago, friends said.
"She was very unselfish and giving, and that's where her compassion for the community came from," Boyer said. "She had big dreams for what Rockford could be and was willing to work for it."
Ronaldo Fort, 19, DeAngelo Brooks, 19, and Bryant Locke, 20, have pleaded not guilty to charges of armed robbery in Boone County after a Belvidere cellphone store was robbed at gunpoint.
Police said they pursued the trio's Pontiac GT into Winnebago County where it ran a red light at North CherryVale Mall Drive and South Perryville Road and struck Williams' car. She was in critical condition for a week before her death.
After the crash, one of the three suspects exchanged gunfire with a Boone County deputy before surrendering.
No one was hurt in the exchange of gunfire.
Illinois State Police Sgt. Sam Thomas of the Winnebago and Boone County Integrity Task Force said the investigation is ongoing.
Winnebago County State's Attorney Joe Bruscato and Boone County State's Attorney Michelle Courier both said a decision on charges stemming from the crash, shootout with police and death of Williams would be made once the task force investigation is complete.
The prosecutors said they are cooperating on the case.
An online fund was established at gofundme.com/dhssa4 to assist Williams' family with medical expenses and other bills.
Childhood friend Dusty Booker said the loss of Williams, who dreamed of one day running for mayor of Rockford, is staggering.
"She just jumped into everything Rockford," Booker said. "She took pride in Rockford and in being a J-Hawk."

Whitman, Brown clash in final debate tonight
There are 203 comments on the www.sfgate.com story from Oct 12, 2010, titled Whitman, Brown clash in final debate tonight. In it, www.sfgate.com reports that:
The two major candidates for California governor head into their final televised showdown tonight with a "woman" problem dogging their campaigns - Republican Meg Whitman for her treatment of her undocumented maid, and Democrat Jerry Brown for a staffer's use of a sexist slur in referring to his opponent.

Brown Whitman:$3,000,000 for UC Berkeley Chancellor and his vice chancellors however no money for student sports.UC Berkeleys recent elimination of popular sports programs highlighted endemic problems in the universitys management. Chancellor Robert Birgeneaus eight-year fiscal track record is dismal indeed. He would like to blame the politicians in Sacramento, since they stopped giving him every dollar he has asked for, and the state legislators do share some responsibility for the financial crisis. But not in the sense he means.
A competent chancellor would have been on top of identifying inefficiencies in the system and then crafting a plan to fix them. Compentent oversight by the Board of Regents and the legislature would have required him to provide data on problems and on what steps he was taking to solve them. Instead, every year Birgeneau would request a budget increase, the regents would agree to it, and the legislature would provide. The hard questions were avoided by all concerned, and the problems just piled up .until there was no money left.
Its not that Birgeneau was unaware that there were, in fact, waste and inefficiencies in the system. Faculty and staff have raised issues with senior management, but when they failed to see relevant action taken, they stopped. Finally, Birgeneau engaged some expensive ($3 million) consultants, Bain & Company, to tell him what he should have been able to find out from the bright, engaged people in his own organization.
From time to time, a whistleblower would bring some glaring problem to light, but the chancellors response was to dig in and defend rather than listen and act. Since UC has been exempted from most whistleblower lawsuits, there are ultimately no negative consequences for maintaining inefficiencies.
In short, there is plenty of blame to go around. But you never want a serious crisis to go to waste. An opportunity now exists for the UC president, Board of Regents, and California legislators to jolt UC Berkeley back to life, applying some simple check-and-balance management principles. Increasing the budget is not enough; transforming senior management is necessary. The faculty, students, staff, academic senate, Cal. alumni, and taxpayers await the transformation.

Whitman looked like a fish out of water. Whitmans whole run for governor has been attack my opponent with clever ads. Well ol jerrys been around the block a time or two. & tonight he mopped the floor with Whitman.
#12 Oct 13, 2010
Wake up, people. Whitman is from NEW YORK CITY! She didn't vote for anyone or anything for twenty-something years and now she wants to be the Governor of the world's ninth largest economy? If she wins, we're going to get exactly what SHE paid for.
#13 Oct 13, 2010
Actually, the best we could hope for, in your case, is that you learn to stop pounding your fists on the keyboard. You have fingers. Use them. Or: Please go back down into your Mom's basement, eat some more doughnuts and play with your Nintendo games! If you have opposable thumbs, that is.
#14 Oct 13, 2010
Very well said, thank you for writing what more than a few are thinking! Well poor megabuck Whitman already paid over 130 -140 million? Doesn't she deserve to have the job she paid for? ;-)(sarcasm just kidding all!) I didn't realize she was a carpet bagger -(or actually more of a tea bagger?) from NY. If megabuck wins, the middle class in our state will lose a lot more than we did under a relatively moderate Arnold. She and her evil sidekick Carly Frauderini are up to no good you can mark my words. Don't trust any of these secretive corporate conservatives. Job outsourcing and special favors for the top are the price we will pay.
#15 Oct 13, 2010
You guys are a Joke. Why Brown? What has he done in the past?
What? What has brown done? NOTHING GOOD!
Brown is done YOU Idiots!

How many taxpayer funded pensions is Brown collecting now?
#17 Oct 13, 2010
Wow I did not see it that way at all! She was better prepared every step of the way!! I have not made a choice yet, so just this is just an observation!!
#18 Oct 13, 2010
Brown is down with the people and your down on my cohck!
#19 Oct 13, 2010
Meg lost her third debate. Good old Jerry owned that podium and gave concise logical answers. He looked brilliant and professional as ever. It's easy to see why he is so well liked in most parts of the golden state. I found out recently prior to being our states Atty Gen he was a very popular mayor up north. He does have a good grasp of the states current events and we need that in a leader. Experience shows. Where was megs answers? She was floudering around trying to recall what answers she thinks viewers will accept. She must have been one sadsack manager or boss at ebay. She simply isn't ready for prime time. He is much better prepared and we can't use another trainee with bushels of bad ideas recycled from bush the worst President ever. Meg will cause more gridlock and destroy more jobs and lives because of it.
#20 Oct 13, 2010
He looked like an idiot. A grumpy old man who almost blurted out that the Cal Police Chiefs were in his back pocket. Meg busted him!

LOWELL -- When dozens of youths from the Vote 17 movement descended upon the Statehouse, lobbying lawmakers to support legislation to lower the voting age to 17 in citywide elections, Police Superintendent Kenneth Lavallee was right there with them.
"When they got an answer that may not have been the exact response they were looking for, he would very energetically say, 'Let's go to the next room,'" United Teen Equality Center Executive Director Gregg Croteau said.
Community and neighborhood leaders agree that Lavallee going to the Statehouse is symbolic of the type of leader he has been in his more than six years as police superintendent.
"He modeled, in my view, the kind of police behavior where he was able to develop relationships with lots of young leaders, and he did that in a very intentional, purposeful and aggressive way," said Michael Gallagher, a prominent downtown lawyer and member of UTEC's board of directors.
"He was genuine in his interest in reaching out," he added.
Under Lavallee, the Police Department has continued to bridge partnerships with the different neighborhood groups throughout the city, with sector captains attending monthly meetings.
Deb Forgione, chairwoman of the Pawtucketville Citizens Council, said the sector captains began attending neighborhood meetings before Lavallee became chief, but there has been a change in recent years.
"I think that the mindset was, they were glad to do it," Forgione said. "Before, I wasn't always sure they were glad. They made us feel that they wanted to be there. We felt that they were part of the group."
Neighborhood leaders say Lavallee never shied away from meetings where residents were often asking tough questions.
"He wasn't going to come there without hearing our problems," Forgione said. "He was always willing to listen and be respectful."
Forgione said Lavallee made neighborhood members feel like they were part of solutions.
One example is the "Lights on, Crime off" initiative, which was the neighborhood's response several years ago to increases in petty crime.
"He gave us wings to help our neighborhood help ourselves," Forgione said.
Neighborhood leaders also talk about Lavallee's open-door approach.
"We want our chief to be visible," said Ann Marie Page, Centralville Neighborhood Action Group president. "We want him to be on hand. If we have a problem, we want to be able to go right in and say, 'Here's our problem.' "
Lavallee said he, and the entire Police Department, recognized that partnerships with nonprofit agencies, the business community, neighborhood groups and youth organizations were key to successfully addressing issues in the city.
"Every police officer puts effort into those relationships and holds it to a high esteem," he said.
He said every other Thursday morning, the department holds staff meetings at different locations around the city. One meeting at the Cambodian Mutual Assistance Association revealed that many Cambodians do not keep up with mainstream media, Lavallee said. That led to Lavallee appearing on Khmer-speaking programs on Lowell Telecommunications Corp., where Cambodian residents can call-in and ask the chief questions.
Lavallee said he developed an intimate relationship with UTEC because he wanted to address gang violence when he took over the department. He said the strategy had to be addressing the problem from an enforcement standpoint, as well as the preventative side.
Gallagher said Lavallee will be remembered for his dedication to the city's youth. The two worked together on creating opportunities for young people after school and over summer break.
"He recognized that part of dealing with crime was to prevent it in the first place," Gallagher said. "If you can provide those kinds of opportunities for young people in the vast majority of instances, they will take advantage of those opportunities."
That continued with his collaboration with UTEC. Late last year, Lavallee was named UTEC's "Adult Ally of the Year."
"One of his lasting marks will be setting a standard for the way a police department can positively engage with youth-run organizations, a recognition that if we're going to deal with crime, you need to have a multifaceted approach, and you need to make sure all your offices buy into that approach," Gallagher said. "It's a testament to his leadership over a number of years."
"He has been a totally approachable and incredibly responsive police chief," UTEC's Croteau said. "The ability to just pick up the phone and just give him a ring is a huge, huge asset to have in the community."

This isn't new. You limit yourself by drafting a quarterback early because you lose out on the opportunity to select a top back or receiver. You may look back on 2012 and pretend you dodged a bullet by not selecting Chris Johnson or Darren McFadden, but to feel that way would be rather anecdotal and shortsighted. Why? Well, historically, if you were to compare general average draft positions to post-season positional ranks, you'd find that running backs, receivers and quarterbacks are equally inconsistent. It sounds ridiculous to someone new to the fantasy space, but the reason is simple: There's one quarterback starting in each fantasy lineup, and as a result, there's less room for error when it comes to a quarterback's performance. (Here's hoping you didn't draft Matthew Stafford, Eli Manning, or Michael Vick, all of whom had early-round ADPs.)Think about it. If a running back is ranked 10th at his position, then his positional rank would equate to a 5th ranked quarterback. In order for a running back to be "startable" in a 12-team league, for instance, he would have to rank in the top 24 at his position. At quarterback, a player has to rank in the top 12 to obtain the same tag.Given the abundance of quality passers in today's NFL, the quarterback position is going to be very deep moving into 2013. Stafford could easily be drafted outside of the top 10, and Romo may not even be a starter on someone's team. And people want a first-round quarterback when they can get a quality starter in the tenth? You'll hear about this depth a lot from numerous fantasy experts as we move into the offseason, and while the notion is correct, it's actually not very innovative. In actuality, the quarterback position is deep every year.Until we can accurately predict a repeat of the obviously anomalous 2011 season, and unless two-quarterback leagues become the model of fantasy football, selecting a quarterback in the early rounds of a fantasy draft will never be a good idea. The NFL is clearly a different beast than it was when Jeff Blake played quarterback, and throwing the ball 500 times in a season is no longer a big deal. But this new reality has little to do with the overall value of the quarterback position in fantasy football.The ball may be moving through the air more, but we have to face the truth. Truly "elite" receivers -- beginning with Calvin Johnson and ending somewhere around Demaryius Thomas -- are becoming less and less common because of the spread offense. Running backs touching the ball more than 20 times a game are scarce. If Tony Gonzalez retires, how many tight ends will be left to provide a weekly fantasy advantage? Gronk, Graham, and maybe Hernandez?Just as you learned in Econ 101, when the supply of something you need is no longer there, you pay a higher price in order to obtain that something.Spend your early-round choices on the limited products.It's simple: Load up on running backs and receivers early and often. While your league mates use a first-round pick on Aaron Rodgers, a second-rounder on Matt Ryan, and a fourth-rounder on Andrew Luck, you sit back and build a massive running back and receiver library. You wait -- and you wait long -- to snag your starter. Once the draft is over and the season starts, your opponents will see their obvious holes. They'll notice they could have obtained a similar-quality quarterback in Round 12 as they did in Round 3. They'll regret their subscription to the early-round quarterback strategy. I promise you that.Look, you need a running back that gets touches. Since 2005, Darren Sproles and Maurice Jones-Drew are the only rushers who received fewer than 200 carries and finished as top-10 backs. That statistic alone limits your targets at the position to just over 20 running backs. And you need week-to-week consistency from your receivers, too.There are plenty of ways to win a fantasy league. I'm sure some Aaron Rodgers owners won their leagues this past year. But why not give yourself the best chance to win? Why not make logical, common sense choices en route to your league finals? By waiting on quarterbacks, you minimize overall risk, lower your reliance on luck, increase your overall team value and set yourself up for the ultimate prize: A Fantasy Football Championship.Join the vintage movement. Do the right thing. Let someone else draft the early-round quarterbacks.
Guest writer JJ Zachariason authored The Late Round Quarterback in 2012. A link to his book can be found here. JJ is also on Twitter.Drafting a quarterback late in fantasy football is no novel idea. Back when it was ordinary for a guy like LaDainian Tomlinson to score over 15 touchdowns in a season, plenty of fantasy owners swore by the late-round quarterback philosophy. It was clear that obtaining stud running backs – players who would score an obscene amount of fantasy points on 30-plus touches each week – was the way to approach the early rounds of a draft.That was 2004. That was when five quarterbacks would throw for over 4,000 yards in a season, and when it was excessive to see over 40 passes by a signal caller in a game. Things are different nowadays. The spread offense is everywhere, and quarterbacks are posting numbers we'd only hope to accomplish on our Xbox. As a result, mainstream fantasy experts promise that this spike in quarterback efficiency should dictate the way we approach our August drafts.I'm here to tell you that this assumption couldn't be further from the truth.The movement was in full force entering the 2012 season. Because of outrageous, top-heavy passing numbers witnessed in 2011, we were told that it was a necessity to have an "elite" quarterback in our fantasy lineup. The league was moving to a pass-first one, and it'd be wrong to fall behind this supposed trend. Everyone wanted us to be early-round quarterback hipsters.The problem with this logic was that fantasy football league structures weren't changing. We were still starting a single quarterback in a typical lineup, and the majority of that lineup was littered with slots for running backs and receivers. The greater need for standout running backs and receivers still existed, and a pass-happy NFL wasn't going to change that fact.Really, the idea behind the late-round quarterback philosophy has nothing to do with any NFL offensive tendency. Rather, it has everything to do with basic economic principles baked in logic and simple math. It has to do with value.Defined as "relative worth", value helps identify which player – and more importantly which position – is the most important to fantasy football. You should rarely concern yourself with how one position scores against another. That's not the way you create the most valuable team. The way you create the most valuable team is by having the highest positive fantasy point differential at each position in a lineup compared to your opponent.You can wait to draft a quarterback given the inherent demand of the position in a standard fantasy lineup. In a 12-team league, there are just 12 quarterbacks started per week. In that same league, there could easily be up to 30 running backs or receivers used. You need more runners and pass catchers than you do quarterbacks.The counterargument here is that, because elite passers are throwing the ball so effectively in today's NFL, people believe they need to reach in order to obtain someone that is far and away the best at his position. Regardless of that position's lineup need, if a player puts a Herculean effort in each week, like Aaron Rodgers did in 2011, then he should be highly regarded no matter the position he plays.But that's just not true. While Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Drew Brees are slinging the ball like they're using a controller, so is Tony Romo. So is Peyton Manning again. So is Ben Roethlisberger. Andrew Luck. Robert Griffin III, Russell Wilson, Colin Kaepernick. And those latter guys bring difference-making rushing points to the table."Elite" quarterbacks aren't the only ones getting better from a numbers perspective. And we saw the impact in 2012. The go-to, top-notch quarterbacks still finished as the highest-ranked players, but given the outstanding rookie class and overall depth at the position, these top passers were replaceable. They just weren't that much better than the other guys at their position.In other words, they didn't inject your fantasy lineup with much value.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – No. 4 Florida State scored three runs in the third and the Seminoles' pitching staff held the Duke baseball team scoreless for the second time this season as FSU won the series opener 3-0 Thursday evening at Dick Howser Stadium.
Luke Weaver (8-3), Gage Smith and Jameis Winston combined for the shutout. Weaver held the Blue Devils scoreless over seven innings of work, while Smith and Winston tossed an inning each in relief. Georgia Tech is the only other team to keep Duke (31-22, 15-13 ACC) off the scoreboard this season, blanking the Blue Devils 1-0 April 6 in Atlanta.
Junior Andrew Istler (8-7) pitched well in the loss, facing four batters or fewer in every inning except the third. The Wellington, Fla., native surrendered three runs on six hits with five strikeouts and three walks.
Istler faced the minimum over the first two innings before running into trouble in the third. John Sansone ripped the opening pitch for double, his 13th of the season, and took third on a wild pitch. With the infield in, Danny De La Calle drove him in with a single through the left side. Following a Josh Delph walk, Casey Smit added an RBI single and DJ Stewart drove in a run with a grounder to the right side to put Florida State (40-13, 20-8 ACC) on top by three.
Despite the tough breaks in the third, Istler was outstanding the rest of the way. He allowed just three baserunners over his final three innings of work, keeping the margin at three to give the Blue Devils a chance.
"In Istler's defense, a little bit of it was bad luck in the third," said head coach Chris Pollard. "Sansone doubles down the line, certainly that was a well-hit ball. But then we had two see-eye groundballs that got through. He didn't pitch poorly in the third. They had some groundball contact and found holes and that happens."
Duke had a runner in scoring position in the fourth as a Jordan Betts leadoff double went for naught. The double was Betts' team-leading 18th of the season and 67th of his career.
The Blue Devils threatened again in the seventh, loading the bases on back-to-back-to-back singles from Matt Berezo, Grant McCabe and Mike Rosenfeld before Weaver worked out of the jam. Ryan Deitrich nearly delivered the clutch hit, but Seminole shortstop Justin Gonzalez snared the line drive before it could find the outfield grass.
"In the fourth inning, Betts had a great leadoff at bat," Pollard said. "We just didn't do a good job of following it up with good at bats behind him. Then we had three really good at bats in the seventh. I thought that our two at bats with runners in scoring position were competitive at bats. Deitrich had a good at bat, got himself in a good count. The ball was pretty close to falling in and being a two-run single with an inch or two in either direction."
The seventh inning was Weaver's final in the game. The right-hander scattered five hits while striking out four over seven shutout frames.
Smith allowed one hit, a Betts' singled, in the eighth prior to Winston completing the shutout in the ninth. Winston retired all three batters he faced for the save, his sixth on the year.
Duke and Florida State meet in the second game of the series Friday at Dick Howser Stadium. Duke right-hander Drew Van Orden (5-4, 3.30 ERA) takes the mound opposite FSU's Mike Compton (6-1, 3.06 ERA).

Gay U.K. Man Jailed for Embezzling $250K to Pay Off His Wife
A British gay man who claims his wife was blackmailing him over his sexual orientation has been sent to jail for two years for stealing more than $250,000 from his employer, U.K. national tabloid newspaper the Daily Mail reports.
Christopher Brown, 55, used the stolen money to give to his former wife, Mandy Brown. He said it was to keep her from exposing to the world that he is gay and was living a secret life.
In 1997, Mandy Brown discovered that her husband was using gay phone sex hotlines. As a result, their marriage went downhill. She allegedly threatened to out her husband unless he paid her large sums of cash, which would be used to pay for their son's private education, hotels, and a vacation to Florida. Mandy Brown, however, has denied all the allegations and was never charged with any crime.
Brown, who lived in the English county of Hampshire at the time, was a finance director for Dawsons, an upscale retailer of home entertainment systems in Bournemouth, England, when he managed to embezzle more than $250,000 from the company's accounts before the fraud was finally uncovered. Auditors discovered that he had been embezzling the money only after an internal audit that was conducted while he was away on vacation.
When he was confronted about the money, Brown resigned, moved to France with his male partner and bought a bed and breakfast. Although he denied the four counts of theft, he was found guilty and has been sentenced to two years in jail. He will also have to pay $7,300 in court costs.
"You chose to siphon off cash from company business accounts to fund your own financial expenditure," Judge Recorder James Watson said. "I do take into account the pressures upon your life - your own sexuality - and the shame of being unable to admit to yourself your sexuality."
Brown divorced his wife in 2003 shortly before moving to France. He told the court that he had only borrowed the money and intended to repay more than $180,000 in a two-year period.
"He didn't believe he was acting dishonestly; some of the stolen funds were repaid," Brown's attorney, Brian Sharman, told the court. "It was a very unusual set of circumstances; he was a loyal and decent employee for years.'
Detective Constable Andrew Stuckes rejected the account. "Brown was a trusted employee who carried out a systematic series of thefts in order to satisfy his lavish spending," Stuckes said."Only the stability of Dawson's helped it to weather the financial storm. Mr Brown had to be forced to return from abroad and has now, rightly, been held to account for his actions."

Luther sits atop the Iowa Conference standings after sweeping Buena Vista University this afternoon in Storm Lake. The Norse won three of four games in the conference opening weekend for both clubs. This afternoon, the Norse defeated the Beavers 4-2 and 6-2.
In game one, Luther scored four runs on nine hits and Matt McKinney picked up his first win of the season on the mound. McKinney (1-1) threw 4 2/3 innings allowing two runs on five hits. Alec Knop (2) was credited with the save, striking out four of the 12 batters he faced in relief.
Aldon Severson and Matt Larson drove in two runs each. Severson was 2-for-2 and Larson was 3-for-3. Mitch Knippenberg also tallied multiple hits going 2-for-3.
David Lowe.
Eric Pittman (3-5), Andrew Nelson (3-5), Aldon Severson (2-4), Thomas Weber (2-3) and Lowe (2-4) led the offensive attack. Nelson, Knippenberg and Severson each drove in a run.
Blake Peterson (1-0) picked up his first collegiate win. Peterson allowed two runs on six hits in eight full innings of work.
The two victories gives Luther an Iowa Conference record of 3-1, 7-5 overall. Buena Vista fell to 1-3, 7-7 overall.
Luther returns to action April 5-6 when it is scheduled to host Coe College. Both Friday and Saturday's double headers will begin at 1:00 p.m. Both double headers will also be video streamed.

The NFATc1 TransFactor Kit provides a quick and sensitive ELISA-based method to detect DNA binding by the transcription factor NFATc1, without radioactive labeling. The kit contains a 96-well plate for measuring the DNA-binding behavior of the NFATc1 transcription factor. Individual wells have been precoated with the DNA consensus binding sequence for NFATc1. To perform an assay, add nuclear or cell extract from mammalian cells to the wells and incubate to allow the transcription factor to bind to its sequence. Wash away the unbound proteins, and add the primary antibody specific for NFATc1.
The TransFactor NFATc1 Kit is available in a chemiluminescent format that uses a horseradish peroxidase-conjugated secondary antibody and chemiluminescent substrate. You can immediately measure chemiluminescent intensity using any standard luminometer or CCD camera. Increasing the amount of nuclear extract containing the transcription factor added to the well will increase the signal. By adding competitor oligo the signal is decreased, indicating the specificity of the interaction. For quantitative results, a standard curve can be generated using purified transcription factor.
Please see the product's Certificate of Analysis for information about storage conditions, product components, and technical specifications. Please see the Kit Components List to determine kit components. Certificates of Analysis and Kit Components Lists are located under the Documents tab.

Strangers On A Train - Queer Film Classic
With a sudden re-interest in the films of suspense director Alfred Hitchcock, now seems to be the perfect time to reexamine one of his most homoerotic thrillers. Strangers on a Train: A Queer Film Classic offers the true tale of why the gay subplot was removed from the final film product, along with a look at Hitchcock's homophobia when dealing with male sexuality.
It's been a mere two months since the film's Blu-ray release and here is its somewhat companion piece. Jonathan Goldberg delves into many of the film's queer scenes, from Farley Granger and Robert Walker's infamous racy dialogue, to the scenes featuring the fey character of Bruno and his relationship with his mother.
The casting of Pat Hitchcock in a small role as Barbara (a character that doesn't appear in the book) is looked at here and Goldberg shows how she became a gay icon. The topic of misogyny, always a common theme in any Hitchcock film, is examined in "Strangers on a Train: A Queer Film Classic." Bruno coldheartedly kills the character of Miriam perhaps out of his hatred for women.
A look at the vast differences between the book "Strangers on a Train" and the final movie version show that Hollywood just wasn't ready for an all-out queer film in 1951. Part of that blame rests on Hitchcock's shoulders and his unwillingness to take on the Hollywood censors. Goldberg finds many essays and citations supporting the claim of Hitchcock's homophobia.
Goldberg wisely discusses the correlation of male homosexuality and murder in one of the first films to do so. Does Bruno murder because he is gay, or because he wants Guy (Granger) so badly? "Strangers on a Train" the film could have unintentionally influenced later gay murderer movies such as "Cruising" and "Basic Instinct".
"Strangers on a Train: A Queer Film Classic" is part of Arsenal Pulp Press' book series "Queer Film Classics", a look at LGBTQ films that so far covers 21 of them. If you're a fan of Hitchcock's classic film, this book is an intelligent must-have.

WASHINGTON — At the start of the Capitol's last visitor tour for the day — or maybe it was the last one for two days, or for a week — there was a 15-minute video. The aim of this video was a difficult one, even in the best of times.
It was supposed to make Americans feel proud of Congress.
"This is the core, the center, of our experiment with political freedom," the narrator said. "Congress is where we can find our common ground."
Or maybe not.
On Monday, as Congress drifted toward the its latest ultimate failure of compromise — a shutdown of the government — the Capitol's last tour set off at 3:10 p.m. Their hour-long trip provided a look at Washington's central building in the last hours of a normal day. All workers were at their posts. And, for a few minutes more, there were still people who had come to feel in awe of this place. The video called it a "Temple of Liberty."
"The U.S. Capitol is our national stage," the narrator said.
At that point, the stage was still occupied. In theory. The House and Senate, 25-year veteran tour guide Adriane Norman told the group in midafternoon, were still in session.
"They better be in session!" said Doris McDonald, of Orcas Island, Wash., to her husband, Brent. They'd come to Washington for a seven-day tour, something from Doris's bucket list. They were only four days in. After Monday, they feared all the monuments they'd come to see would be closed. ("We got three days left. You got any wheels?" Brent asked a reporter when the tour was over.)
Norman's tour took them through Statuary Hall, where great compromises had been worked out in the House of Representatives. It took them to the Rotunda, past statues of Reagan and Eisenhower, and past a reporter shouting into his cellphone about the House's latest demands. They didn't hear him, because Capitol tours wear little headsets that pipe in the tour guide's voice.
Then the little group filed back down to the visitor center, where everybody had to give back their little headsets.
Only then — a floor below the glories of the past — did Norman get a question about the troubles of the present.
"So, I heard that the bill came back out of the Senate?" asked Vicki Merson, 65, who works in insurance in Westminster, Calif.
"It did," Norman said.
"Then they better get their little patooties in gear! Today is the day!" Merson said.
It was a subject that meant a lot to Norman, the tour guide. If lawmakers couldn't agree, she wouldn't be at work on Tuesday. In case of a shutdown, the Capitol would close to visitors, and tours would cease.
"We realize that this is part of the political process," but it is still a hardship, said Emily Milot-Lamarche, president of the local union that represents the Capitol's guides and gift-shop workers. In true guide fashion, she was already imagining how she would add this to a tour: "This is a great teaching moment, in American democracy, in terms of education I can see how I'm going to use this for weeks to come."
But there is no room for personal emotions in a Capitol tour. On Monday, Norman just remarked on how lucky Merson was to be here, on this day, to see such an interesting thing while it happened.
"You know what? This is stupid politics," Merson said afterward. "They're playing games." She and her group left to get visitor-gallery passes and watch the game-playing in person.
It was 4:35. Upstairs, in the Capitol, the drama was just beginning: Reporters were clumped outside offices, the House was preparing for a key vote. But downstairs, in the $621 million visitor center, they were shutting things down and running people off.
"Let's go, guys," a Capitol policeman was saying. "Building's closed."

Before this game, I thought I had a pretty good bead on what was happening at One Arrowhead Drive. I thought the games leading up to Denver were a combination of Brodie's injury holding back true evaluation of what each guy could and could not do, and not enough real-time, "team-time" together.
I thought Herm and Chan were coaxing these guys along slowly, making sure they had mastered the basics before really opening up the Playbook.
I was wrong.
My hands are firmly thrown up in the air; I couldn't even begin to give you an inkling of an idea as to what the hell we are doing. I know we have talent, and I know we can play. What I don't know is why we can not play well consistently.
Somethin' ain't right in River City...
By the way, I'm new here so "Hey" to all of my fellow fans.

University of Florida
Undergraduate Graduation Rates - Six-Year Rates for FTIC Cohorts
» Compare all Universities at once
First-time-in-college (FTIC) cohort is defined as undergraduates entering in fall term (or summer continuing to fall) with fewer than 12 hours earned since high school graduation. The rate is the percentage of the initial cohort that has either graduated or is still enrolled in the fourth or sixth academic year. Both full-time and part-time students are used in the calculation. Note: Students of degree programs longer than four years are included in the cohorts. The initial cohort is revised to remove students, who have allowable exclusions as defined by IPEDS, from the cohort. Students with unreported gender are included.
*Please use caution when comparing data across institutions within the State University System, because they have significantly different missions, student populations, etc. Comparisons with peer institutions are more meaningful.

Congratulations, President Obama, on being re-elected. Many of us who care about health care reform see your re-election as a victory for your signature piece of legislation, the Affordable Care Act.
The Affordable Care Act has survived Congress, the Supreme Court, and one of the toughest presidential campaigns in our memories. We can safely say at this point that all three branches of government, and a significant portion of the American people, have agreed that something needed to be done to provide access to affordable health care.
This represents a significant achievement for this country because the Affordable Care Act will have a greater impact on more people than perhaps any law in American history.
Your victory has now made the Affordable Care Act a reality even for those states that refused to acknowledge it. We are seeing states that were reluctant to create the insurance exchanges mandated by the law now scrambling to put them in place by the new deadline you were kind enough to extend to Dec. 16. These exchanges will be a huge benefit to working people and small businesses that will use these exchanges to access coverage at lower rates.
With the Affordable Care Act firmly in place we can confidently move forward on the other important measures in the law that will lay the groundwork for controlling costs and improving the quality of care. As more of its provisions take effect over the next few years, the law will become even more rooted and stable. At the same time, the market is making progress on improving cost and quality through better coordination of care and reforming payment methods.
The irony was not lost on us in Massachusetts when former Gov. Mitt Romney used the Affordable Care Act against you in the campaign since it was based on his signature piece of legislation, the 2006 Health Care Reform Act. However, thanks to Mr. Romney, and the others involved, Massachusetts now has 98 percent of adults and 99 percent of our children with lower-cost health care coverage.
The important lesson to take from Massachusetts is that not everything can be done at once. Over the last six years, we have built on the 2006 law and passed three subsequent bills that address the areas of cost containment and quality and created stronger solutions as a result.
You were ambitious in the creation of the Affordable Care Act with how much was placed in the law, but you should not stop there. With this solid base now set in place, much more can be done to improve care and stabilize costs in your second term and beyond if you continue making health care reform one of your top agenda items.
I realize as you look into the near future, there are incredible challenges ahead. The first of which are the upcoming negotiations on federal revenues and expenses that you will be undertaking. There will be great temptation to use parts of the Affordable Care Act as bargaining chips as the negotiations grow tough. In my opinion, while there may be a need to modify the law to deal with any unintended consequences, you should resist the great temptation to reduce any part of the Affordable Care Act as it will weaken the work of the law and end up costing more in federal spending down the line.
The most important victory in the passage of the Affordable Care Act, and its ability to survive such adversity, is that the people of the United States will begin to acknowledge that government has a role in ensuring that they have access to quality affordable health care throughout their lifetime in the same way they believe in the promises created in Social Security and Medicare.
The current law was derisively called �Obamacare� since it was first proposed.
I was glad to see you proudly accept and use the term yourself, because the Affordable Care Act will certainly be the signature achievement of your administration and a major milestone in American government, just as Social Security was for my grandfather.
So, for the good of the American people and the future of our health care system, I ask that you stay the course and use your second term to continue building on this tremendous achievement that allows the United States to join the rest of the developed world in providing affordable health care to its citizens.
James Roosevelt Jr. is president and CEO of Tufts Health Plan.

The City of Linn Creek is now under new administration. Virginia "Ginny" Muller was sworn into the office of mayor during Tuesday night's Board of Alderman meeting.
The City of Linn Creek is now under new administration. Virginia "Ginny" Muller was sworn into the office of mayor during Tuesday night's Board of Alderman meeting. Muller was elected as an alderwoman in April 2013 and when Mayor Jack Thornhill's health started to deteriorate, he knew exactly who he would appoint to replace himself.
"I'm so excited. I'm like a kid in a candy store," Muller said. "I love these people and I love this town."
Muller's background
Muller was born and raised in the St. Louis area, but visited the lake often and ended up owning three homes at the lake before relocating to Linn Creek as a full time resident two years ago. Her grandfather, Virgil Wall, actually helped build the Bagnell Dam.
She spent about 30 years living and working in the state of California. She worked in the real estate and property management business. Muller is a twin and has three children of her own —46-year-old twins Susie and Sherrie, and 47-year-old Michael. All of her family relocated to the lake when she did. Her 92-year-old mother also lives with her.
Muller currently works in real estate with John Farrell Real Estate firm. She also still manages one property in California.
Hopes for Linn Creek
Muller said she always wanted to get involved in politics and when she moved to Linn Creek, that passion became a reality. She remembers meeting Mayor Thornhill when she first moved to town and said that he encouraged her to run for alderwoman and possibly mayor.
Ever since that first meeting, she dreamed of being the mayor of Linn Creek. Now, that dream is her reality.
Muller has many high hopes for the small town including bringing more economy to Linn Creek, have more businesses annexed into the town, clean up the town, enforce litter ordinances, grow the city's revenue and keep the small town feeling alive and well.
"I just want to see people come back to Linn Creek," she said. "I see Linn Creek as being a gateway of sorts."
Muller plans to facilitate street dances, movies in the park and the second annual Old Time Christmas this coming year.
She encourages residents to come in and meet with her. She wants them to know that she views the mayor's position as one that works for the residents. If a resident has a problem, she wants them to be comfortable to come straight to her.

This week in the Missouri House, I was honored to accept the nomination of my colleagues to become the next Speaker Pro Tem. It is the duty of the Speaker Pro Tem to preside over the chamber when the Speaker is absent, and also to make parliamentary rulings. The Speaker Pro Tem is also an ex-officio member of all of the committees of the House.
This week in the Missouri House, I was honored to accept the nomination of my colleagues to become the next Speaker Pro Tem. It is the duty of the Speaker Pro Tem to preside over the chamber when the Speaker is absent, and also to make parliamentary rulings. The Speaker Pro Tem is also an ex-officio member of all of the committees of the House.
Along with this nomination came the opportunity to give a speech (you can watch the speech online here)[1] – and I didn't want to waste my chance to point out some of the problems with what is coming down from Washington DC. Below, I've included some excerpts, and also some thoughts on our upcoming session:
"Our federal government is out of touch with reality and threatening to re-define the basic relationship our founders envisioned between a people and its government."
I chose to send this message on Opening Day of the 2013 legislative session because I am passionate about defending the rights of people and the sovereignty of our state. For too long our state government has sat idly by while the federal government imposes its will on our daily lives.
We've seen examples with Obamacare and the proposed Medicaid expansion. The federal government has greatly overreached its authority. With their arrogant actions they have trampled on the rights of the people and challenged the sovereignty of the states.
As I said in my speech, "With every action taken by these out of touch Washington D.C. bureaucrats, we are sent one very clear message that they have forgotten it is we, the states and the people, who created the federal government…not the other way around."
It's my sincere belief that states like ours are the true laboratories of democracy. The will of the people is the guiding force that drives every decision we make.
When it comes to a shining example of a government that embraces fiscally responsible spending; a commitment to reducing the size of bureaucracy and increasing the attention paid to the needs of the people; and a vision for the future that holds promise and hope rather than mountains of debt, it is the states we must look to for inspiration.
For example, in our own state of Missouri, we have stayed true to core conservative ideologies, embracing outside-the-box thinking to create innovative solutions to problems that the federal government is unable or unwilling to solve.
I hope we can add to our list of accomplishments this year by passing a constitutional amendment that I am sponsoring to protect the traditional right of Missourians to hunt, fish and farm. This fundamental right has been under siege by out-of-state radicals who want nothing more than to take away the time honored traditions that conflict with their metropolitan lifestyles.
We can't look to Washington, D.C. for help on this issue, but we can stand together to forever allow future generations to have the kind of Missouri, and the kind of America, that our forefathers envisioned.
I asked my colleagues also to join me in rejecting efforts by the White House to gut the welfare-to-work program that has helped so many Missourians get back on their feet and back to work. The current program was put in place in 1996 to make the system one that offers a hand up rather than a handout.
With the stroke of a pen, Barack Obama has tried to undo something that has worked for more than 15 years. This year in Missouri we will send the message loud and clear that we reject Obama's plan to encourage dependency on government handouts, and instead support a program that puts our neediest citizens on a path to gainful employment and self-sufficiency.
We will have some tough battles this session. Our governor is likely to oppose many of our common sense, conservative reforms. However, with such a conservative-leaning legislature, we have a powerful bargaining chip when dealing with the executive branch on these important issues. It's my sincere belief that we, as a people and a state, will again lead the way this year in dealing with the issues that matter most to families and businesses.
As always, feel free to contact my office at (573) 751-1688 with any of your questions or concerns.
