A new build of Windows 10 preview is available for download, Microsoft announced Friday morning. Now the world (those who've signed up for the preview, that is) can sample what analysts and journalists previewed on Wednesday.
The build will download automatically for Windows Insiders overnight, or you can get it now by going to PC Settings > Update and recovery > Preview builds and clicking the Check Now button. If you need to start from the very beginning—in other words, you’ve never installed Windows 10 at all—check out our tutorial on how to install Windows 10 from scratch. You can also obtain the ISO for a clean install or virtual machine download here.
In his blog post, Microsoft’s Gabriel Aul warned that not everything Microsoft talked about earlier this week would be available.
“Some of the new features that Joe demoed on Wednesday will be available for our Windows Insiders starting today with our newest build – 9926,” Aul wrote. “However, not everything you saw on Wednesday is included in this new build. Much is still in-progress and we’re getting it out to you as fast as we can – so you can try it out and give us feedback. Over the course of the next few builds, you will see us refine Windows 10 and continue to improve the experiences as well as quality and stability.”
What Microsoft showed off in Redmond was Build 9924, which we played with as part of our preview. In a nutshell, here’s what you should expect in the new 9926 build: read more here - http://www.pcworld.com/article/2874800/microsofts-windows-10-build-9926-with-cortana-is-live-now.html#tk.nl_pcwbest

Carroll County Times article by Wiley Hayes: Late legislative initiative to limit central committee's responsibilities

The Carroll County Board of Commissioners will be submitting
a late addition to their legislative package to take away the power of the
Carroll County Republican Central Committee to select the replacement of a
county commissioner in the event of an opening.
This legislation is in part due to the controversial
decision by the committee to only recommend former Commissioner Robin Bartlett
Frazier to replace Sen. Joe Getty. The Republican Central Committee has since
reversed course and recommended three names to Gov. Larry Hogan for the seat.
The commissioners voted 3-2 on Thursday to send this
legislation to the Carroll County delegation. Commissioners Stephen Wantz,
R-District 1, and Richard Rothschild R-District 4, were the opposing votes.

Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015 Future looks bright for short-term
delegate Cavey
Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015
++++++++++++++++++++++++
Columnist Barry Rascovar discusses Chris Cavey who recently “Cavey
served as a Baltimore County delegate for just 16 days. Clearly, some
explanation is in order…”
I have worked with Del. Cavey for many years and I have appreciated
every moment of it. Del. Cavey is thoughtful, very bright, insightful, a
strategic thinker and always seems to easily understand the context in we serve
and see the bigger picture.
In an era when it is not good enough to be the best, Del.
Cavey is nice.
And yes, many of us are looking forward to Cavey now “participating
in the administrative side of things in Annapolis during Hogan's term as
governor…”
At a time when reaching across the aisle and playing nice in
order to move the ball forward; Del. Cavey is perfect for leadership in the
Hogan administration in Annapolis.
Del. Cavey knows Maryland government and remembers when
members of Maryland General Assembly may have disagreed upon various issues;
but they always worked together harmoniously for the greater good of Maryland. Remember
the name Cavey – it rhymes with civility.
WE are looking forward to many great things from Del. Cavey.
Please enjoy Mr. Rascovar’s column…

When the Maryland General Assembly kicked
off its 90-day session a week ago, two members of the House of Delegates from
Baltimore County were missing.
One of them is a familiar name to people living in rural
parts of the county — Del. Wade Kach, a fixture in the Maryland State House for
four decades. The retired teacher just kept getting reelected.
The other missing delegate is not nearly as familiar — Chris
Cavey.
Cavey served as a Baltimore County delegate for just 16
days. Clearly, some explanation is in order.
[…]
Kach did the smart thing and ran for Baltimore County
Council instead.
His name recognition and reputation as a diligent, moderate
conservative helped him defeat one-term incumbent GOP Councilman Todd Huff of
Lutherville.
Kach then won easily in November with 68 percent of the
vote.
He was sworn in as a councilman in early December, leaving a
void in the county's legislative delegation. By law, the Republican Central
Committee for the county gets to appoint a replacement, with the governor's
consent.
Enter, Chris Cavey.
The former insurance agent has been a longtime field worker
for Republican candidates. He served as chair of the Baltimore County
Republican Party for seven years and as first vice-chair of the state
Republican Party for 7 1/2 years.
[…]
Hogan and Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford attended Cavey's
swearing-in ceremony in the House chambers. The interim delegate's
grandchildren held the Bible as he took the oath of office.
Now that Chris Cavey's name has been entered in the
legislative record book, he can turn to his next assignment — participating in
the administrative side of things in Annapolis during Hogan's term as governor…

The Obama administration wants to dramatically change how doctors are paid - The Washington Post
The Obama administration wants to dramatically change how doctors are paid - The Washington Post:
By Jason Millman January 26
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/01/26/the-obama-administration-wants-to-dramatically-change-how-doctors-are-paid/
The Obama administration on Monday announced an ambitious goal to overhaul the way doctors are paid, tying their fees more closely to the quality of care rather than the quantity.
Rather than pay more money to Medicare doctors simply for every procedure they perform, the government will also evaluate whether patients are healthier, among other measures.
The goal is for half of all Medicare payments to be handled this way by 2018.
Monday’s announcement marks the administration’s biggest effort yet to shape how doctors are compensated across the health-care system. As the country's largest payer of health-care services, Medicare influences medical care generally, meaning the changes being initiated by the administration will likely be felt in doctor's offices and hospitals across the country.

TROOPERS ARREST THREE YOUTHS FOR SHOOTING AT VEHICLES ON I-95 IN CECIL CO.
Maryland State Police Press Release
01/26/2015 14:36
TROOPERS ARREST THREE YOUTHS FOR SHOOTING AT VEHICLES ON I-95 IN CECIL CO.
01/26/2015 14:36
TROOPERS ARREST THREE YOUTHS FOR SHOOTING AT VEHICLES ON I-95 IN CECIL CO.
(ELKTON, MD) – Three juveniles, who are believed to have shared a BB rifle to shoot the windows of more than a dozen vehicles traveling on I-95 in Cecil Co., have been identified and charged by state troopers who apprehended them within minutes of the latest incident.
The three were charged late last night as juveniles and are identified only as males, ages 14, 15, and 16, from Elkton, Md. They are charged with reckless endangerment, malicious destruction of property, throwing/shooting an object at a vehicle, and trespassing. All three were released to the custody of parents, pending a juvenile hearing.
On January 16, 2015, Maryland State Police at the JFK Highway Barrack took their first recent report regarding a vehicle window damaged while traveling south on I-95 near Deaver Road, in Elkton. Other incidents occurred on the 23rd and 24th. Troopers began patrol checks in the area in an attempt to identify those responsible.
Shortly after 9:30 p.m. yesterday, a trooper was making a patrol check in the area when a victim called the barrack to report his window had just been shot out. The trooper contacted the victim while he was still on the phone with the barrack. Additional troopers were summoned to the area. A search led troopers to a home in the area. A vehicle leaving the home was stopped and three juveniles and an adult were contacted. One of the juveniles lived at the nearby home.
Further investigation led to the identification of all three juveniles in the car as those responsible for the shootings. Troopers recovered a BB rifle that belonged to one of the three at the nearby home where he lived.
At this time, the investigation indicates the three may have been responsible for shooting at and damaging the passenger side windows in 18 vehicles. The vehicles are all types, including cars, buses, and tractor trailers. The total cost of the damage to the vehicles is estimated to be at least $15,000.
Troopers found where the Maryland Transportation Authority fence that runs along the interstate had been cut, permitting access to the southbound lanes of I-95. They believe the three suspects set up near the interstate and aimed for the passenger windows of vehicles traveling southbound on I-95. The investigation indicates the three may have shot at 50 vehicles, striking 20 or more. The three took turns using the BB gun owned by one of the suspects to shoot at vehicles, usually during the hours between 7:00 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.
When the windows were struck by the projectile, some shattered, some cracked, and some sustained just a hole. Fortunately, no drivers reported any injury to themselves or their passengers. However, most reported being very frightened when their window was struck and shattered.
Troopers believe there may be additional victims. Anyone who sustained passenger window damage during January in the area of southbound I-95 and Deaver Road near Elkton, is urged to contact the Maryland State Police at 410-537-1150.

About the Adjutants General of Maryland and the Maryland Military Department
Pictured above: Brig. Gen. Linda L.
Singh will assume the duties of the 29th Adjutant General and will replace Maj.
Gen. James A. Adkins who will retire from a military career that spans more
than 40 years of service. She will be the first African-American and first female
to serve as the Adjutant General of Maryland. December 23, 2014 [Maryland
National Guard shared Change Maryland's post]
About the Adjutants General of Maryland and the Maryland
Military Department
I was working
on a story about the Adjutant General, Maryland National Guard and the
Maryland Military Department and came across these Maryland state government websites:
About the Maryland Military
Department
For more detailed information on
the Maryland Military Department, see the Maryland State Archives informational
site
And for “A History of the Adjutants General
of Maryland,” go here: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_History_of_the_Adjutants_General_of_Maryland#James_A._Adkins_.282008-present.29
The
following is a History of the Adjutants General of Maryland. As in other
states, the Adjutant General is the senior military official of the National
Guard and any other military or para-military units that may be maintained by
the state.
See more
below
Origin
of the Military Department
Authorization for military force in Maryland began when the
Maryland Charter of 1632 empowered Lord Baltimore to raise troops to put down
insurrection or rebellion and subdue enemies of the province. It continued in
the eighteenth century as Maryland militia units fought during the French and
Indian War and distinguished themselves in the American Revolution.
Under State government, the office of Adjutant General was
authorized first in 1793 and made a Constitutional office in 1951. The Adjutant
General heads the Military Department and exercises powers and duties under the
Militia Law of Maryland.
Functions
and Responsibilities
The Military Department is responsible for the Maryland Air
National Guard, the Maryland Army National Guard, the Maryland Defense Force,
and the Maryland Emergency Management Agency. The Military Department also
builds and maintains the armories and other facilities used by the Maryland
National Guard.
All State forms and records required for militia use and the
reports and returns required by the federal government are prepared by the
Military Department, and service records of all officers and enlisted persons
who have served or are serving in the Maryland National Guard are maintained by
the Department as well.
Structure
The Military Department is controlled by the Office of the
Adjutant General, and is made up of the following agencies:
State Operations
The State Operations section manages many of the fiscal and
administrative duties of the Military Department. The Freestate ChalleNGe

The following is a
History of the Adjutants General of Maryland. As in other states, the Adjutant
General is the senior military official of the National Guard and any other
military or para-military units that may be maintained by the state.
The office of Adjutant
General in MarylandEdit
From the Report of the
Adjutant General of Maryland 1906-1907 Chapter LII, Laws of Maryland, 1793,
(Thomas Sim Lee, Governor), provided for the office of an Adjutant General of
the State Militia in "an Act to regulate and discipline the militia of
this State," in compliance with the Act of Congress of 1792, entitled,
"An Act more effectually to provide for the national defence, by
establishing a uniform militia throughout the United States," from which
the fo1lowing excerpt is quoted:
"There shall be
an Adjutant-General appointed in each State, whose duty it shall be to
distribute all orders from the Commander-in-Chief of the State to the several
corps; to attend all public reviews, when the Commander-in-Chief of the State
shall review the militia, or any part thereof; to obey all orders from him
relative to carrying into execution and perfecting the system of military
discipline established by this Act; to furnish blank forms of different returns
that may be required, and to explain the principles on which they should be
made; to receive from the several officers of the different corps throughout
the State, returns of the militia under their command, reporting the actual
situation of their arms, accoutrements and ammunition, their delinquencies and
every other thing which relates to the general advancement of good order and
discipline; all which the several officers of the divisions, brigades,
regiments and battalions are hereby required to make in the usual manner, so
that the said Adjutant-General may be duly furnished therewith; from all which
returns he shall make proper abstracts, and lay the same annually before the
Commander-in-Chief of the State."
In October of the year
1794, an Adjutant General of Maryland was appointed for the first time and a
resolution was passed at the November session of the General Assembly, as
follows: "Resolved, That the treasurer of the Western Shore / be and he is
hereby authorized and required to pay to The Adjutant-General of this State for
the time being, the sum of two hundred pounds current money, in quarterly
payments, provided the said Adjutant-General reside or keep an office at the
seat of government." In 1797, the annual salary of the office was
"five hundred and thirty-three dollars and one-third of a dollar,;"
six hundred dollars in 1799, and was later "fixed and established" by
law, (chapter 168, Laws of Maryland. 1S07), at five hundred dollars annually,
to be paid in quarter yearly payments. By subsequent enactments, the amount was
increased at various times until the present salary was attained and
established. The Adjutant General of Maryland was given the relative military
rank of "Colonel of Artillery in the line" by Chapter 251, Laws of
Maryland, 1834; the relative rank of "Brigadier-General" by Chapter
284, Laws of Maryland, 1864; and finally, the present rank of
"Major-General" by Chapter 337, Laws of Maryland, 1867.
