Chicago - A message from the station manager

The [Monday] Papers

By Steve Rhodes

So it turns out I chose a really bad time to upgrade my operating system this morning because it took way longer to install than I imagined. Now it’s afternoon and I have to move on to other pressing duties, so I can’t do a column today. I can offer some other posts on the site, however, and I’ll scrape the weekend’s highlights from the Beachwood Twitter feed to at least offer something for those who aren’t already following it. Which you should do.


Tornado Watch
Essential news and views – including the Peoria anchors who had to evacuate while on the air.
SportsMonday: Tiebreakers
The Bears have been just good enough, and the Lions and Packers just bad enough, that it all still matters.
Sunlight Files Government Spending FOIA Lawsuit
Particularly important as the development of HealthCare.gov continues to come under scrutiny.
For example:

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services originally signed a contract for “Enterprise System Development” in 2007, which eventually came to include work on the health exchange website, yet it is very difficult to find the original solicitation for the contract.
