Watch full Obama-Romney debate

By now, there are dozens of analyses and summaries of the presidential debate available from various media outlets. I will not provide another here. Instead, I invite you to watch (or read) the debate yourself, in full, and come to your own conclusions. My advice is that you at least watch the closing statements.

FOIA Online now live

Today, the Sunshine in Government Blog announced the launch of a new system that it says should help government agencies keep better track of record requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and "make the FOIA process more efficient."

I highly encourage anyone who has ever used FOIA or plans to use it in the future to read more about the new system, FOIA Online, on the blog: "FOIA Online goes live; new tool to track FOIA requests, responses."

Or you could go straight to FOIA Online: foiaonline.regulations.gov/foia/action/public/home
