Lane: CIIS pits profit against children’s privacy
Author: Rebecca Lane - March 23, 2017 - Updated: March 21, 2017
Recently, several Colorado newspapers have published articles regarding Colorado childhood immunization rates and fears surrounding the de-funding of the Colorado Immunization Information System (CIIS), a $3.3 million per year, tax payer funded, inaccurate, opt-out only tracking system that contains private medical information accessible to health care providers, governmental agencies and school personnel across the state.
In two Denver Post articles, the Colorado Children’s Immunization Coalition (CCIC) was referenced as the expert in immunization information for Colorado. CCIC is a nonprofit organization that works to increase immunization rates in the state. But according to the state auditor’s 2016 performance audit of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), CCIC was implicated in a conflict of interest with the CDPHE. The audit reports that CDPHE awarded $1.8 million in contracts to CCIC from November 2008 through July 2015. The audit also reported that during that time, various CDPHE staff served on the board of directors of CCIC. Since CDPHE is the agency that runs CIIS, how can Coloradans rely on this type of reporting when biased sources such as CCIC are used to make the case for CIIS funding? Sourcing CCIC when asking about CIIS funding is akin to asking the fox if the henhouse should be left unlocked.
It has been reported that CIIS helps doctors and parents track vaccinations electronically and that before CIIS was created, vaccinations were tracked by paper records. This is true, but since the creation of CIIS, new electronic health information exchange networks such as the Colorado Regional Health Information Organization (CORHIO) have been created. These networks electronically track all patient health information which can be shared with health care providers across the state. Before the creation of these massive network databases CIIS was a more valuable tool. But now, doctors, clinics, hospitals, CDPHE and other medical providers use networks such as CORHIO to track the medical records of their patients. Vaccination records are input into the electronic health chart just like any other medical procedure and thus, immunization records are already available in the networks. CIIS has been made redundant.
A quote from the August 2016 CORHIO newsletter illustrates the point: CDPHE and CORHIO “have partnered to help community providers and hospitals submit immunization reports using existing health information exchange technology. Since June 2013, CORHIO participants have reported 494,695 immunizations to CIIS through the secure CORHIO network. This includes data from 69 individual sites, including office-based providers and hospitals or health systems.”
The CORHIO network partners with CDPHE and CDPHE runs CIIS. What’s more, the current head of CDPHE was the chief executive officer of CORHIO before his position at CDPHE, and he now sits on the board of directors of CORHIO.
Is CIIS really dedicated to public health or is it dedicated to data collection?
Besides being redundant, CIIS is not necessarily accurate. The CDPHE website immunization-records (CIIS) page states that, “the registry may not contain all records.” Not all providers participate in CIIS and if children have had immunizations out-of-state, these records will not be recorded in CIIS.
Additionally, this database is opt-out only. To opt-out, parents must be made aware that their children are being tracked in this database in the first place. Although, according to Colorado statute, they should be notified, most providers fail to tell parents their children’s immunization data will be shared with CIIS. If the parent does find out about CIIS and chooses to opt their child out of this tracking system, only the child’s immunization records are purged. The children opted out will then have their personally identifiable information moved to another database within CIIS for those who choose to opt-out; hardly a true opt-out.
Given the issues, is CIIS really worth $3.3 million per year of tax payer money? Do parents really want or need their children’s potentially inaccurate medical information stored redundantly in several databases across the state with each one vulnerable to security breaches and accessible by hundreds or thousands of people across the state? I would say defunding CIIS is a no brainer.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., pledged on Wednesday to do all he can to stop President Barack Obama's coal plant regulations, saying a White House "crusade" has devastated his state's economy.
The Environmental Protection Agency "has created a depression in my state and it's done a lot of damage to the country all across the country with these efforts to essentially eliminate coal fired generation," he said in an Associated Press interview.
"I couldn't be angrier about it and whatever we can think of to try to stop it we're going to do. ... I know it won't be easy with Barack Obama in the White House."
McConnell takes over the Senate leadership and its new Republican majority in January. He reaffirmed plans to make approving the Keystone XL pipeline, which would run from Canada to Texas, as the first order of business. He said other moves to counter Obama's environmental policies await, but he did not offer details.
The Obama administration is trying to get fossil-fuel fired power plants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent from 2005 levels by 2030. The White House also recently announced a deal with China to curb the greenhouse gases blamed for global warming.
Asked if the Senate had any obligation to address global warming, McConnell said, "Look, my first obligation is to protect my people, who are hurting as the result of what this administration is doing."
He said that despite the administration's "phony deal" with China, "coal is booming elsewhere."
"Our country, going down this path all by ourselves, is going to have about as much impact as dropping a pebble in the ocean," McConnell said.
"So for the president to pursue his crusade at the expense of the people of my state is completely unacceptable, and I'm going to do any and everything I can to stop it," McConnell said. Much of the decline of the Kentucky coal industry is actually due to the rise of other energy sources, such as cheaper natural gas, as well as cheaper coal from other states; and Obama's regulations have not all taken effect.
McConnell also was cool to the administration's plans to normalize ties with Cuba. He said he defers to Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, a Cuban-American from Florida, on the issue because he said Rubio is an expert on U.S.-Cuban matters.
Rubio has said that Obama's approach will help the Castro government while doing nothing to further human rights and democracy.
"Sounds like the correct response to me," McConnell said. "I think he knows more about this than almost anybody in the Senate if not everybody in the Senate and I wouldn't differ with his characterization."
On immigration, McConnell stopped short of pledging that Congress would block Obama's recent executive actions curbing deportations for millions of people who are in the United States illegally.
Republicans strongly oppose Obama's move and are gearing up for a fight on the issue in February, when money runs out for the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees immigration matters. But the GOP's options appear limited, and "exactly how the February episode unfolds I couldn't tell you at this point," McConnell said.
McConnell promised to restore a more open process of legislating and amendments in the Senate, which has been tightly run under outgoing Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev. McConnell said he did not think the presence of several potential presidential candidates, including Rubio, would affect the Senate's work.
"I think the Senate can survive presidential ambition," McConnell said.
"Serious adults are in charge here and we intend to make progress. ... We're going to change the Senate's behavior, and hopefully change the country in the process."

West Ham’s latest transfer link is not the big January signing we need, amid reports this week that FCSB midfielder Darius Olaru could be joining the club
Throughout this January transfer window, West Ham have been in need of acquiring another central midfielder and a striker in the squad.
While we continue to be linked with a plethora of forwards, Romanian midfielder Darius Olaru has emerged as a potential transfer target.
According to Sport Ro earlier this week, the 22-year-old is wanted by West Ham and is apparently available to sign for around £9m. He currently plays for FCSB, formerly Steaua Bucherest, who compete in the Romanian top division.
After joining the club in January 2020, he has improved his playing abilities to become one of their most vital players. So far this season he has already scored four goals and produced two assists in 13 games.
Olaru predominately plays in the central midfield position, but the left-footed player can adopt a more attacking role as well. He is yet to feature for his national side but has already made 13 appearances for Romania’s U23 team.
It is obvious that West Ham need a player that can play in this type of position. While Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek are having an incredible season, we only have an aging Mark Noble on the bench to replace either of them when needed.
The squad definitely lacks depth and a central midfielder and striker is what we need the most. Although Olaru certainly has potential, he lacks experience and would need more time to develop if he were to become a first-team regular.
This is the main reason why Olaru is not the convincing signing West Ham need in order to push for a European spot this year.
After only recently impressing in the Romanian league, a £9m price tag seems hefty considering his lack of playing time.
West Ham need a proven player that we can rely on to always put in a good performance, rather than investing money into a risky signing that may or may not be a success.
West Ham’s current squad at the moment is built around players that are willing to work hard and give everything for the team. If Olaru can do that for the club then he has the potential to be a great player in claret and blue.
However, it takes time to develop into a natural Premier League player, especially at the age of 22. For the remainder of the season, West Ham are in desperate need for experienced reinforcements, which is why it might be difficult for Olaru to convince fans he is the man to fulfill this role.

Sustainable Cities Initiative allows Oregon students to provide fresh ideas to city developers
In Salem’s Riverfront Park, the small, yet bright yellow LED lights set the 23-acre recreation area ablaze as dusk begins to fall.
However, these lights are not just placating the concerns of safety activists and watchful joggers, but also the city as it begins a pilot project to install 96 energy-efficient LED lights at the park. The plan for the pilot project, which is estimated to save the city $2,100 in annual energy costs and $25,320 in future maintenance costs, arose from recommendations made by the University’s Sustainable Cities Initiative.@@http://community.statesmanjournal.com/blogs/localgovernment/2011/07/26/salem-council-votes-to-send-grant-money-back/@@
The Riverfront project is just one of many that the initiative has aided since it began in fall of 2009. Originally a modest effort by three University professors to assist Oregon communities in tackling sustainability issues, the initiative has now developed into a nationally recognized, award-winning organization with 20 faculty members and 500 students at any given time.
Marc Schlossberg, a Sustainable Cities Initiative co-founder and University planning, public policy and management professor, explained that the main reason the organization was created was to share student ideas (typically saved for the eyes of their instructors) with cities that may be able to use and incorporate them in its planning goals.
“As professors, we get to read so many great projects and final papers that students turn in at the end of the term, and it seems kind of frustrating and a little silly to us that we’re the only ones that get to read the brilliant suggestions that we get from students every year,” Schlossberg said. “We wanted to figure out a way so other people got to see that work and ensure the work got put into practice in our local community.”
Nico Larco, another co-founder and University architecture professor, said the goal of the program is both simple and complex: take a bunch of existing courses on campus — including those in the departments of architecture, business, landscape architecture, public planning, law and journalism — and target them to assist a selected community. The students and faculty members provide ideas, suggestions, and insights into how to address and execute municipal sustainability issues.
“If you’re going to deal with issues of sustainability, you need to work across disciplines,” Larco said. “We’re really interested in applying the work that we do here at the University, so students understand how the work happens outside of the University walls while having a chance to really affect the world around us.”
Currently, the initiative pulls professors and students from 13 different departments. In addition, since the project began nearly three years ago, Schlossberg said the University’s Sustainable Cities program has begun working with Portland State University and has helped the cities of Gresham, Salem and Springfield by conducting about 40 projects in 75 different courses, engaging a total of 1,300 students, and contributing about 200,000 combined hours worth of work in the service of local communities.
“There are many, many examples of a direct correlation between the student work and our current business practices,” City of Salem project manager Courtney Knox said.
She went on to explain that nearly 500 University students from about 25 different courses tackled a variety of issues ranging from civic engagement to waste water treatment methods over the course of a year and presented their findings to the city. Knox said many of these findings, including the installation of energy-efficient lights, are being implemented and strongly considered by city legislators who were satisfied by the ideas presented by University students and faculty members.
“The student work amazed us,” Knox said. “The students far exceeded all of our expectations. We’re still sifting though the many ideas that they provided us, because it was just so extensive. They gave us fresh ideas, they gave our citizens and our staff an opportunity to reexamine our own assets and, as a community, there’s just so much excitement and enthusiasm in Salem right now as a direct result of the student work.”

Bach's home ravaged by Hurricane Irene
Rocker Sebastian Bach has told of his devastation after his New Jersey home was destroyed by Hurricane Irene.
The former Skid Row singer is planning to move to Los Angeles after a savage storm ripped through the east coast of America, causing a reservoir opposite his house to overflow and send a bridge crashing into his beloved property.
RELATED: Sebastian Bach and wife divorcing
Bach has been left feeling "numb" after losing personal items including master tapes, videos and other rock memorabilia, and he's not been allowed to enter the property to investigate the destruction due to fears of electrocution.
In a message on his Facebook.com page he writes, "I am numb, in shock and devastated to report that my home of 21 years, my house featured on MTV 'Cribs', has been destroyed, condemned and deemed uninhabitable due to the extreme flooding courtesy of Hurricane Irene...
"Original SKID ROW and KISS fans, I have bad news for you. Gone are irreplaceable items, such as my KISS Gargoyles from the 1979 tour. KISS pinball machine. SKID ROW master tapes, video and audio... We will salvage what we can, of course. But how I wish there was a reason to do a box set or something before Hurricane Irene hit. Nobody cared. Now it's too late. Don't know what you got till it's gone, indeed."
But Bach is remaining philosophical about the tragedy, insisting the destruction of the house will force him to move on from his divorce, because he couldn't face selling the marital home.
He adds, "This has really taught me that the best things in life are indeed 'free.' What makes me happy is that my children and ex-wife are safe. My dad's art is unharmed. No one got hurt."

In recent years, the relevant departments have introduced a number of construction waste management policies based on China's current situation. Large cities, it can be said that in the construction waste disposal in this area, people are only do not lose things.
Zhengzhou City is a large population in China, separated by a year to build a lot of housing for people to live, equivalent to the cost of 28% of the country's cement and steel, and can only last 25-30 years, Zhejiang Province, construction waste The number of urban waste has accounted for 30% to 40% of the total. Then there will be a new emergence of abandoned houses, so that the formation of our long-term endure the harm of construction waste, not only for the human environment, the natural ecological environment constitute an immeasurable harm.

A large-scale roll-out of controversial welfare reform Universal Credit has been pushed back to late 2019.
A “managed migration” onto the reform, which combines six benefit payments into one monthly sum, was due to begin in January.
Leaked documents seen by the BBC revealed that plans to move four million people onto the scheme will not begin until November 2020 at the earliest.
The BBC said the move was a bid to reduce the negative impact already felt by people moved onto the system.
Employment Minister Alok Sharma said he “would not comment” on speculation, but appeared to confirm the roll-out test phase would begin late next year, as opposed to January.
Answering an urgent question tabled on Tuesday by DWP select committee chairman Frank Field, Sharma said: “Some of the matters [Field] will be alluding to are the subject of speculation in the media.
“There has been a great deal of speculation on Universal Credit over the past few days, and I cannot, and will not, comment on speculation.
“We have long said that we will take a slow and measured approach to managed migration and that is why we will continue to take a ‘test and learn’ approach, acting on feedback and improving the system as it rolls out.”
“The process will begin later next year in a measured way”
He added: “By December 2018, Universal Credit will be in every job centre in the country. People who are making new claims to our benefit system now apply for Universal Credit, rather than being put on the old system.
“The process will begin later next year in a measured way with no more than 10,000 people moved over, to ensure that the system is working well for claimants and to make any necessary adaptation as we go.
“We have said for a long time that the managed migration process will take place from 2019 to 2023.”
Last a week a number of critics hit out at the scheme – including senior ministers – expressing concerns amid widespread backlash.
On Monday, Field warned McVey that the scheme is driving women into prostitution.
The Birkenhead MP said women in his constituency “have taken to the red light district for the first time” as the system is pushing them into poverty.
Constituencies which have undergone a move from the old system to Universal Credit have reported a rise in food bank usage, while a significant proportion of landlords with tenants claiming Universal Credit say they are owed rent arrears.
Gillian Guy, Chief Executive of Citizens Advice, said: “Today’s news suggests the government recognises Universal Credit has serious problems that must be fixed before tens of thousands more people are moved onto the new benefit.
“If implemented, the measures set out in the leaked document could reduce the risk of greater hardship as a result of moving onto the benefit.
“But Universal Credit is a complex system, and these measures alone will not solve all of the problems. The government must make changes to ensure no one is left without enough to get by.”

I need recommendations and suggestions for July 2011 travel with our 2 sons who will be 2.5 and 6 then.
This June we were in Zurich, Venice and Milan (as well as Mykonos, Kusadasi, Split, Corfu, Athens as part of a cruise). Lovely cities but I hated the heat and the crowds. The last time we went to Europe was in September 2007 when we did Amsterdam, Brugge, Brussels. That was a lovely trip. I much preferred that temperature and lack of tourists. I wish we could go in September again, but now the elder son is at school.
We live in hot and humid Indonesia. So we are looking for something with cooler weather. No beach holiday. We enjoy walking around a lot. Some culture but not too much. We love nature too, but we are not camping types. In Europe, we stay in 3-4 star hotel. In Asia, 4 star hotel. We will probably travel for around 2 weeks. 3 weeks tops.
Where should we travel to? I have thought of Scandinavian countries, Iceland, Alaska.
What am I missing?
So many thanks,

Liberalization in the Developing World
Institutional and Economic Changes in Latin America, Africa and Asia
Edited by Alex E. Fernandez Jilberto, Andre Mommen
Routledge – 1996 – 336 pages
Liberalization in the Developing World compares the success of liberalization strategies in Asia, Africa and Latin America over the past decade. Three models emerge, corresponding to the three continents covered, which reflect the degree of state intervention in the economy and the success of the liberalization policies adopted.
The conclusions drawn demonstrate that economic and political liberalization do not have to go hand in hand. On the contrary, the case studies presented in this volume show that the role of the state can be crucial in mobilizing both the human and capital investment needed to be able to compete in international economy.

In 2017, Lil Nas X was just a Georgia teenager working at a Taco Bell (who, um, sometimes left the cash register unguarded to take photos in the bathroom mirror). Five years later, he’s got three No. 1 hits, two Grammy Awards and a music video that’s been viewed over 1 billion times. Oh, Taco Bell has officially named him chief impact officer.
It’s a glow-up of epic proportions, and one that can be largely attributed to Lil Nas X’s relentless creativity and commitment to his career.
Simply put: Nobody is doing it like 23-year-old Montero Lamar Hill. He’s a gay rapper who rose to fame thanks to his 2019 single “Old Town Road,” a country song that broke the record for the longest-running No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. But George Jones he is not — Lil Nas X is a Twitter mastermind effortlessly popular with Gen Z.
Every move he makes is more outrageous than the last: He’s twerked on Satan in a music video, performed a concert in the metaverse, promoted sneakers containing human blood, mobilized the furry community to come to his concerts and filmed himself going into “labor” before “giving birth” to his debut album.
He never leaves the headlines, and that’s not due to chance. “A lot of people like to say it’s like a kid accidentally got it,” he told the New York Times in 2019. “No, this is no accident. I’ve been pushing this hard.”
Despite his humble beginnings, Lil Nas X is now one of the most successful entrepreneurs in the world, thanks largely to his own marketing strategy. Legend has it Lil Nas X created 100 memes to generate buzz for “Old Town Road” — which he produced with -$5.62 in the bank — and hasn’t slowed down since. He’s hilarious online, leveraging the years he spent running a Nicki Minaj stan account to post constant hot takes (“being a good person has become so boring. i’ve decided to be mean, hot, and cool”) and, of course, bathroom-mirror selfies. Often, he responds to haters for fun with a request to stream his songs.
He also has a unique relationship with mobile payment service Cash App. In March 2020, as COVID-19 lockdowns were starting in the U.S., Lil Nas X told his followers to "drop ur cashapp," pledging to "send some of u some money to go get some food then stay inside." The following year, he sent money through Cash App to fans who could prove they were listening to his debut album, Montero, and teamed up with Cash App to give away $1 million when it formally expanded to users 13 and up. Cash App cardholders got first dibs on tickets for his first tour, too.
“I don't want to do what has been done. I want to have a lifelong career," he told Paper in 2020. "Unless I decide to do something else."
Lil Nas X’s authenticity is inspiring. So is his impact: As fantastic as his outfits and music videos might be, he regularly uses them to address serious social causes. Last year, the “baby registry” he threw for Montero raised roughly $500,000 for HIV prevention. When he released “Industry Baby,” set in a fictional prison, he started a fund with The Bail Project, a nonprofit that works to eliminate the cash bail system.
Lil Nas X is changing what it looks like to be hard-working and setting an example for millions of young people — many of them LGBTQ+ — by being unapologetically himself.
In an acceptance speech he gave earlier this year, he acknowledged as much. Lil Nas X admitted that believing he could drop out of college and become an international success, or “come out of the closet in the height of my career,” or make a song about one man lusting after another and watch it climb the charts might have been “delusional.” But then again, he said, “it’s OK to be delusional when you’re chasing your dreams.”

Sifteo, a new venture-backed consumer electronics start-up aims to make the digital world a lot more fun. Founded by graduates of the MIT Media Lab, they created Sifteo to share their research with the world. Siftables, their first product, are sets of cookie-sized computers equipped with motion sensing, neighbor detection, graphical display, and wireless communication. Working harmoniously to form a single interface, users can physically manipulate Siftables by piling and organizing them to interact with the digital information contained within, creating a new platform for tangible games.

The world has a certain reverential (or just morbid) fascination with the death sites of famous musicians. The pantheon of dead music legends is far too great (and depressing) to capture in just one article, but here’s a look at just some of the famous/infamous places where great talents have met untimely ends.

THE LAST GANGSTER: From Cop to Wiseguy to FBI Informant: Big Ron Previte and the Fall of the American Mob
Covering much the same ground as his 1998 book, The Goodfella Tapes , which also dealt with the Philly mob's decline in the 1990s, true-crime journalist Anastasia here focuses on Ron Previte, a crooked cop who became a big moneymaker for the Philadelphia underworld before turning informant for the Feds. The author entertainingly chronicles Previte's long catalogue of brutal misdeeds, but offers little insight into the man's character. There are a few factual errors (e.g., Cleveland underboss Angelo Lonardo did not begin to cooperate with the government until the mid-1980s), but the larger flaw is the effort to inflate Previte's role in diminishing organized crime's influence not only in the City of Brotherly Love but also in the country as a whole, as the subtitle suggests. In addition, Anastasia fails to make a convincing case for the extent of Previte's local impact, undercutting his thesis several times by citing other factors—the elevation of greed, an upsurge in violence, other informants—leading to the demise of the syndicate built in large part by the late Angelo Bruno. The author knows how to enhance the basic story with the odd bit of background detail (like a defense lawyer's favorite sandwich), but the book's primary appeal will be to Mafia buffs eager to read everything written on the subject. (Mar. 16)
FYI: Anastasia has twice been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize.
Release date: 03/01/2004

Both teams are still undefeated in the China DPC.
The Dota 2 Bali Major officially welcomes the first teams to qualify - Team Aster and PSG.LGD. Both Chinese teams delivered an undefeated performance and currently hold a 5-0 scoreline. Team Aster and PSG.LGD will face off at the end of China (CN) Dota Pro Circuit (DPC) Tour 3 regional league.
Team Aster shines with Emperor SumaiL
Team Aster has always been a powerhouse of the region, not missing a single Major for the past few seasons. But with the addition of Sumail "SumaiL" Hassan in the midlane, Aster popped off remarkably. The team now holds a 5-0 win streak, only dropping a single match against Xtreme Gaming. But they have yet to complete their DPC journey, with Invictus Gaming and PSG.LGD waiting to clash against the unique lineup.
Nevertheless, this is the first time SumaiL officially qualifies for a Dota 2 Major since WePlay AniMajor in 2021. The king or now, the emperor is definitely back and we'll see him alongside Team Aster on the Bali Major stage next month.
PSG.LGD looks solid with niu
Li "niu" Kongbo, the new offlaner for PSG.LGD seems to be meshing well with his new team in Tour 3 DPC. He formerly played for Vici Gaming but with PSG.LGD, he will finally attend his first-ever Valve Major. LGD has beaten five teams including the prominent Azure Ray. However, they have yet to face the Chinese strongest contenders, namely Xtreme Gaming and Team Aster.
Check out the full schedule for CN DPC here.
More Bali Major teams ahead
Tour 3 DPC is concluding soon as we wrapped up the second week. Team Aster and PSG.LGD may take a breather as they have secured their Bali Major slots. However, more glories and heartbreaks will come as results solidify. Some teams will make it to the Bali Major in Indonesia while some will have to sit back from the third Dota 2 Major. We'll keep you updated with more Dota 2 news. Until then, stay tuned to Esports.gg.

For this week's segment of 52 Weeks . . . Google Maps!
Play with Google Maps. This is a helpful tool for determining the locations of addresses in your family history. Where your ancestral homestead once stood may now be a warehouse, parking lot or field. Perhaps the house is still there. When you input addresses into Google Maps, don't forget to use Satellite View and Street View options for perspectives that put you right where your ancestors once stood. If you've used this tool before, take some time to play with it again. Push all the buttons, click all the links, and devise new ways it can help with your personal genealogy research. If you have a genealogy blog, write about your experiences with Google Maps, or suggest similar easy (and free) tools that have helped in your own research.
I have used Google maps some. In fact, I am on Google Maps! Type in Calle Rodrigo de Triana 20, Seville, Spain, and pan around without moving forward or back, until you see someone wearing a striped blue-and-white shirt and brown pants with white shoes standing just outside an apartment building. My face is fuzzed out, bless Google's lawyered-up hearts, but that is me when I was in Seville to do research at the General Archive of the Indies!
I just looked up some addresses in my ancestry -- the house where my grandparents lived when my mother was born. The house is still there. I tried looking up another address, where my mother's grandparents lived in Logansport, Indiana, but apparently Google hasn't got there yet because it would not shift to a street view. Too bad.
I also saw that the house where my great-great grandparents lived in Bloomington, Illinois, is probably still standing, too! Wow. My great-great grandfather died in 1881. That's a long time, and I certainly do not expect the house I'm living in now, built in 1992, to be around for that long. They just don't build 'em like they used to!
One thing we do have to keep in mind is that house numbers may change over the course of time. The houses where my husband's parents and grandparents lived, right next door to each other, changed house numbering in the early 20th century. Apparently the house numbers on the street where my mother's family lived when she was born changed, too.
I prefer to play with Google Earth, however. There I get a real perspective of where everything is -- and where everyone was -- on the planet. I have "pins" stuck all over the planet on Google Earth, from ancestral stomping grounds in Suffolk, England, to Seville to mark my sojourn there, to places all over the U.S. where my family has lived at one time or another, from Massachusetts to California, and even up into Canada for a three-generation interval. I can draw lines on Google Earth, too. That's nice for marking migration routes. But as for migration routes, what I would really like is a huge wall map on which to plot those. What I need in our tiny house is a huge wall to display it!


The Houghton Lake Public Library is hoping to change that.
They’re hosting a panel discussion next month on “Detecting Fake News”.
Kimberly Young is the director of the library.
“What we’re going to be talking about is how to ascertain the difference between when you’re reading a headline and knowing who they’re coming from and what point of view the source has on the topic.”
Young said she hopes this will help to stop people from sharing fake news online.
“It’s a hot topic. I’m sure everybody’s heard of it. And what it is is that it’s often even just headlines that’s meant to grab someone’s attention in one direction of thought or another. That might be misleading and are not really talking about the actually story.”
The event is scheduled for February 21, at 6pm at the Houghton Lake Public Library.
CMU Public Radio’s Amy Robinson will be one of the panelists, along with Central Michigan University journalism professor Tim Boudreau, and Houghton Lake Resorter publisher Eric Hamp.

The official music video for "The One", a brand new song from the Japanese teenage girl pop metal band BABYMETAL, can be seen below. The clip was filmed on December 13, 2015 at Yokohama Arena in Japan.
"The One" is taken from BABYMETAL's second album, "Metal Resistance", which will be released on April 1 via RAL/Sony Music Entertainment in the U.S. and earMUSIC in Europe.
"Metal Resistance" features songs that have already been performed live, as well as many never-been-heard-before new songs.
Following their previous album, "Metal Resistance" features both songs performed as solo songs, and as a group. "Amore -Aoboshi-" and "No Rain, No Rainbow" is performed by Suzuka Nakamoto (a.k.a. Su-Metal),and "GJ!" and "Sis. Anger" are performed by Yui Mizuno (a.k.a. Yuimetal) and Moa Kikuchi (a.k.a. Moametal).
BABYMETAL will kick off the 2016 world tour with a headline show at the world-famous Wembley Arena, U.K. on Saturday, April 2, making history by becoming the first Japanese artist to headline the legendary venue.
The track listing for each "Metal Resistance" format is as follows:
CD and limited box set including CD + exclusive T-shirt:
01. Road Of Resistance 02. Karate 03. Awadama Fever 04. YAVA! 05. Amore 06. Meta Taro 07. From Dusk Till Dawn 08. GJ! 09. Sis. Anger 10. No Rain, No Rainbow 11. Tales Of The Destinies 12. The One (English version)
01. Road Of Resistance 02. Karate 03. Awadama Fever
01. Yava! 02. Amore 03. Meta Taro
01. From Dusk Till Dawn 02. GJ! 03. Sis. Anger
01. No Rain, No Rainbow 02. Tales Of The Destinies 03. The One (English version)
Of the new album, BABYMETAL mastermind Kobametal stated: "As prophesied by the Fox God, a new album will be released on April 1st, 2016, also known as the Fox Day.
"Since the release of BABYMETAL's debut album in 2014, we have been racing across the globe non-stop on our world tour. Through the last tour, I have come across people from all over the world and have had the chance to feel that miraculous moment when everyone came together via BABYMETAL.
"Our new song 'The One' contains lyrics that speak of uniting the world, or a crowd favorite at concerts, 'Road Of Resistance', that never fails to bring our fans together. Every BABYMETAL song makes up this extraordinary story.
"I continue to believe that the songs of BABYMETAL continue to push them forward to discover new possibilities.
"All I can say right now is for all of you to wait patiently for the coming of the Fox Day."
Established in 2010, BABYMETAL is the offshoot of the Japanese pop idol group SAKURA GAKUIN that performs a distinctly Japanese mix of schoolgirl J-pop and heavy metal.
BABYMETAL's members admit that they had never listened to metal before joining the group. The girls wear gothy schoolgirl costumes, do choreographed dance routines and bang their heads violently.
Many heavy metal fans have been reluctant to embrace BABYMETAL — which also includes producer Kobametal and a backing band of corpse-painted virtuosos — with some Internet forums calling them "the definition of a gimmick", "awful" and "metal for hipsters."

July 31, 2020
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — The electoral process in South Dakota is on track for a November 3 general election despite President Donald Trump’s suggestion on Thursday that it could be delayed.
The Secretary of State’s office said it is planning to open absentee voting on September 18 and operate polling stations on November 3. During the state’s primary elections on June 2, over half of voters cast their ballots through absentee voting. Secretary of State Steve Barnett even encouraged mail-in voting by sending absentee applications to registered voters.
Trump suggested the delay as he pushed unsubstantiated allegations that increased mail-in voting would result in fraud. But shifting Election Day is virtually impossible and the very idea represented an attempt to undermine confidence in the American political system.
Congress would have to delay the election. South Dakota’s Republican congressional delegation rebuffed Trump’s idea. Sen. John Thune, Sen. Mike Rounds and Rep. Dusty Johnson all said the election should proceed as planned
Thune, who is the senate majority whip, told CNN, “I think we’ve had elections every November since about 1788, and I expect that will be the case again this year.”

A modern single-storey holiday home, easy to live in, with heated pool and a spacious sunny terrace to make the most of the sun and of the sea air. Sleeps 6, 3 bedrooms, 3 shower rooms, a car park for 3 cars: a very comfortable accommodation for a peaceful holiday on the Ile de Re!
Location with pool - Sainte-Marie-de-Ré - Ile de Ré
Sainte-Marie is the first village you’ll come to when taking the south route around the island. It has managed to maintain its rural identity and is home to many oyster farmers and wine growers.
Easily recognisable from afar thanks to its superb gothic church tower, Sainte-Marie offers a range of activities to visitors: bathing, surfing at Les Grenettes, walks on foot or cycling along the wild coastline or through moorland and vineyards.
In 2002, the village became a Green Holiday Resort and is an ideal spot to recover from city life in a family oriented ambiance, either alone or with friends.
“Two faces, one village” is the motto of Sainte-Marie, host to a number of festivals, two markets, flea markets, long rambling footpaths and numerous cycle paths. What is surprising is that this small village is 5km long, stretching from the renowned seawater treatment centre to the east, to the Grenettes area to the west, passing by the church square, the market square of Place d’Antioche and through the Tilleuls square with its restaurants and various shops.
The transition from the rural landscapes of the vineyards and bramble filled moors to the seascapes of medieval fish locks which trapped the fish as the tide went out, and low water rock shelves is seamless.
In a nutshell, Sainte-Marie provides a perfect holiday home backdrop for those who enjoy living in the country and long rambles through the vineyards to those who prefer the more urban attractions of La Flotte or Saint-Martin.
Go on holidays with peace of mind: protect yourself from unexpected events and unpleasant surprises which could compromise your stay on the Ile de Re! We propose to you an insurance custom built, adapted to your needs.
This insurance is available through an insurance company (Cabinet Albinet) which is a partner of Bon Sejour en France.
This cancellation insurance, interruption and Tenant's liability will enable you to be :
reimbursed of the unused period should you be forced to cancel or break your holiday on the Ile de Re
covered for damage caused by fire, an explosion or water (to be insured for Tenant's Liability is obligatory under French law)

Welcome to the sweet haven of baking delights! Today, we’re diving into the world of irresistible treats with a classic favorite: chocolate chip cookies. Whether you’re a seasoned baker or just starting on your culinary adventures, this recipe promises to satisfy your cravings and leave you wanting more. So, preheat your oven, gather your ingredients, and let’s embark on a journey to baking perfection!
Why Chocolate Chip Cookies?
Before we delve into the recipe itself, let’s take a moment to appreciate why chocolate chip cookies hold such a special place in our hearts (and stomachs!). These delectable treats offer the perfect balance of sweetness, chewiness, and gooey chocolate goodness. Whether enjoyed fresh out of the oven with a glass of cold milk or savored as a midnight snack, chocolate chip cookies never fail to evoke feelings of comfort and nostalgia.
The Secret to Perfect Chocolate Chip Cookies:
While there are countless chocolate chip cookie recipes out there, achieving the perfect balance of texture and flavor requires a few key ingredients and techniques.
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs, one at a time, followed by the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Fold in the semisweet chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips for Success:
- For extra chewiness, refrigerate the cookie dough for 30 minutes before baking.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate chips, such as milk chocolate or dark chocolate, to customize the flavor to your liking.
- Don’t overmix the dough, as this can result in tough cookies. Mix until the ingredients are just combined.
- If you prefer thicker cookies, chill the dough for 1-2 hours before baking.
Enjoying Your Creations:
Once your chocolate chip cookies are fresh out of the oven and cooled to perfection, it’s time to indulge! Whether you enjoy them warm and gooey or crisp and dunkable, these cookies are sure to delight your taste buds with every bite. Share them with friends and family, or treat yourself to a moment of pure indulgence.
Mastering the art of chocolate chip cookies is a rewarding journey that anyone can embark on. With the right ingredients, techniques, and a sprinkle of love, you can create homemade treats that rival even the best bakery offerings. So, roll up your sleeves, preheat that oven, and get ready to experience the joy of baking with this timeless classic recipe. Happy baking!

My iPad’s getting a facelift; well, a whole face transplant. I dropped it a few days ago, and it’s spending the night with Mark at Speedy Computers, in his iCracked capacity. He’s putting on a new screen. I had to use my old iPad for this post, which has an older version of Paper 53 on it, fortunately. Ok, that’s the iPad update.
Here’s this week’s internet summary, and I hope you’ve been keeping up (click here if you’re behind):
Sleep’s gate has one of those simple, old-fashioned latches; but all at once you’re surrounded by garden already, you don’t know how you got in, and it doesn’t matter. You’ve dozed off.
Thought it would be fun to do a one, long, crooked line drawing, and then go back with just a little color. The subjects are the Parranderos Latin Combo, who performed last night at the Moberg Gallery in Des Moines, IA to raise additional money for their upcoming trip to record an album in San Juan, Puerto Rico with Grammy award winning producer, Ramon Martinez. My friend Fernando Aveiga, musician entrepreneur, animates this project in collaboration with a constellation of co-stars.
Envelope & Letter
I intended to show either a sunrise or sunset behind the barn and tried using white lines, yellow color, and shading to do that.

Hillary Clinton is cheering on Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus's efforts to kill a pair of upcoming televised programs about her.
Priebus has told CNN and NBC -- the two networks airing the programs -- they won’t be allowed to participate in the 2016 Republican presidential primary debates if they proceed with the planned documentary and miniseries about the former first lady. Republicans fear these shows will boost the presidential prospects of the former secretary of state and New York senator.
Members of the Clinton camp, however, worry the TV series are more likely to hurt than help their candidate in the likely event she decides to run. They calculate the Republicans are already, in the words of one pundit, "working the refs" -- meaning the networks now would have to bend over backward to avoid turning the programs into flattering portraits.
And they note the director of the CNN program is Charles Ferguson, who won an Academy Award for "Inside Job," a scathing documentary on the Wall Street financial crisis. That film cast blame, in part, on key figures in President Bill Clinton's administration for their roles in the events leading up to the crash.
The long slumping CNN, which relies heavily on viewers tuning in during political seasons, might capitulate if it thinks Republicans are serious, both Clinton and Priebus seem to think. However, whether and where the Republican debates occur, invariably depends on the front-runner rather than the party chairman.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. – One by one, key veterans of the Los Angeles Kings popped their heads out the door of their practice facility locker room a day before training camp opened.
Captain Dustin Brown, Justin Williams and Jarret Stoll all pronounced themselves ready to go Wednesday after offseason medical issues. The scariest was Stoll's seizure incident at his home in July. Stoll said he underwent evaluations for three weeks and has since felt fine.
"Everything looks normal, 100 percent," Stoll said. "Just for peace of mind, I guess - I feel good. I feel healthy."
The cause of the seizure remains unknown, although Stoll said he has a history of it in his family.
"I wish I had a little bit of an explanation, but nothing, really," he said. "Even with the concussion (in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals), I thought maybe those were connected, but they weren't. That's good news, I guess."
Brown said he will wear a brace on his left knee. He had been playing with a torn posterior cruciate ligament from a hit by Dan Boyle in Game 6 of the West semifinals.
Will Brown wear the brace all season?
"If it's up to the trainers, yeah," Brown said. "I hate the brace. But it's something I get used to. We'll see. I don't like anything on me, so we'll see."
Williams revealed after the Stanley Cup Playoffs that he had been playing with a slight shoulder separation from a Brad Stuart hit in Game 3 of the series with the Sharks. It did not require surgery.
Williams had his right shoulder separated by now-teammate Robyn Regehr a couple of years ago.
"It's just an injury that many hockey players have had and it just takes time to heal," Williams said. "Unfortunately we don't have time to make it heal during playoffs, so you just wait. It was fine a few weeks after the season. I was able to maintain and do my workouts, and really had no issue."

national songwriter sampler
Double XX Posed (self-produced)
For those who think country music is limited to what gets played on WAMZ, a good dose of Double XX Posed might be just the elixir to cure that misconception.
This compilation of music by five songwriters/artists from all over the U.S. blends traditional country with blues, folk, and some things that defy classification.
It is unique, particularly in that the inside sleeve contains not only song lyrics, but photographs of other artistic creations by the songwriters.
Fittingly, the CD leads off with "Merci Beaucop" by Louisville native Alan Rhody, a song about the author's love for French Impressionist paintings. Not something you see every day on CMT, eh?
Tom Wesselman's offerings shine brightest. Included are his "Let Someone Hurt Her Once For Me," and "He Kept His Secret," the latter of which is true country in the tradition of George Jones' classic "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
Other standouts are Rhody's "New Maria" and John Heric's "She's Your Conscience." Jim Leedy's two cuts are reminiscent of Hank Williams-era country, while a pair of soulful, eerie songs by Fritz Scholder are memorable, but seem out of place on this disc.
All told, this collection is worth a listen, especially for those who are growing weary of the Billy Ray Cyrus generation. Let's face it: Aren't we all, just a little bit?
