Vaccinations protect you now and in the future by preventing diseases that can sometimes kill or permanently injure. It is important that you keep track of the shots that you/your child have received.
Immunization registries like the Colorado Immunization Information System are one of the best tools we can use to make sure we all receive the shots we need in order to be protected from harmful diseases. You and your healthcare provider can use CIIS as a powerful tool to ensure that you/your child receive the immunizations you need to stay healthy and happy.
Below are some frequently asked questions. Click on a question to view the information for this item.
Also known as Colorado's immunization registry, the Colorado Immunization Information System (CIIS) is a confidential, population-based, computerized system that collects and consolidates vaccination data for Coloradans of all ages from a variety of sources. CIIS is a program within the Colorado Immunization Section at the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE). CIIS helps healthcare providers, schools, childcare centers, universities, and individuals keep track of the shots that they and/or their children have received.
Vaccines protect your/your child's health against many dangerous, preventable diseases and are required by law for children in attendance at schools, childcare facilities, camps, and universities. But it can be difficult to keep up with your/your child's shot record, especially if you move or change healthcare providers. In addition to helping you keep track of your/your child's shot record, CIIS also:
The schedule of shots that is necessary for you/your child to stay healthy and required for your child to attend school, daycare, camp and university becomes more complicated with every new vaccine development. Keeping all the shots in one place, and on one record, helps ensure that you and your child get the complete schedule of immunizations – no more and no less.
The shots that you/your child have already received and any shots that you/your child will receive in the future will be entered into CIIS. Other information, including parent's/guardian's name (for individuals under 19 years of age), gender, Vaccines For Children eligibility status (for individuals under 19 years of age), date of birth and the office where each shot is given will be included in the registry to be sure that your/your child's record is accurate and cannot be confused with another patient's record. Your address will also be included in the system to allow your healthcare provider to send you reminders when you/your child are due for an immunization. All information entered into CIIS is secure and confidential. For more details on the CIIS confidentiality policy, please visit the Confidentiality page.
Information in CIIS can only be released to:
Yes. You may request copies of your/your child's immunization record by completing the Request to Release Immunization Record Form.

Immunization records are confidential and personal medical information. The Colorado Immunization Registry Act of 2007 designated the Colorado Immunization Information System as a lifelong immunization record tracking system. CIIS has signed agreements with all participating sites that are authorized to provide information to or access information from the immunization registry. CIIS and all persons and entities that access immunization records are required to maintain the confidentiality of those records. The CIIS Confidentiality Policy applies to all individually identifiable information in all formats, including paper-based and electronic records.
*Please note: you cannot get your/your child's shot record directly from CIIS; you must contact your healthcare provider for your/your child's record.
Information in CIIS can only be released to:
Any person who releases or makes confidential immunization records public in any unauthorized manner commits a class 1 misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by 6-18 months in jail or a fine of $500 to $5000, or both. The unauthorized release of each record shall constitute a separate offense. The CIIS Confidentiality Policy and CIIS Security Policy are reviewed and potentially revised at least annually. You may at any time choose to have your/your child's shots excluded from the Colorado Immunization Information System.
Under Colorado law you have the option to exclude your/your child's immunization information from the Colorado Immunization Information System at any time.

Clinton Wins in Landslide in West Virginia
Her win doesn't bring her much closer to 2,025 delegates needed to win the Democratic nomination.
Photo Gallery: West Virginia Primary
Tuesday was a big day for Hillary Clinton as she won the Democratic presidential primary in West Virginia in a huge landslide.
But the outcome—in which Clinton swept nearly all demographic groups and won overall by a 2-to-1 margin—had much less impact on the overall race with Barack Obama than she and her strategists had hoped. Despite the margin, Clinton failed to gain much ground on her rival in delegates to the nominating convention this August in Denver.
As the final results were being tabulated, it appeared that Clinton would score a net gain of no more than a dozen delegates—with 20 going to Clinton and eight to Obama, under a system of proportional representation, with an additional 10 superdelegates to be determined separately. This left her substantially behind in the nomination race. Obama now has 1,883.5 delegates to Clinton's 1,717, according to the latest count by the Associated Press, with 2,025 needed for the nomination under current party rules.
But Geoff Garin, Clinton's chief strategist, said this morning that the West Virginia results should quiet calls for Clinton to drop out. He predicted that she will stay in the race at least until the final primaries conclude on June 3.
Tuesday night, Clinton praised Obama as a worthy contender and pledged to support him if he wins the nomination, but she promised to continue the fight. "The race isn't over yet," she told cheering supporters in Charleston, W.Va. She called herself "the strongest candidate" to defeat Republican John McCain in the general election.
Obama, recognizing that he would lose West Virginia, campaigned lightly there and devoted his time to other states. He told garment workers in Cape Girardeau County, Mo., Tuesday that it was time for a "new direction in Washington" as he turned his attention to the presumptive GOP nominee. "John McCain has decided that he is running for George Bush's third term in office," Obama said.
Clinton has only a few cards left to play in her effort to catch Obama. There are five contests left, with a total of 189 delegates—in Kentucky and Oregon next Tuesday; Puerto Rico June 1, and Montana and South Dakota June 3. She hopes to roll up big margins, especially in Kentucky and Puerto Rico, where she seems to be ahead. Obama, however, is strong in Oregon, Montana, and South Dakota.
Clinton's final move may be to challenge the Democratic National Committee's disqualification of all the delegates from Florida and Michigan, which held their primaries earlier than the DNC allowed. If all those delegates are counted—as Clinton wants, since she won the two disputed primaries—the magic number for a majority would be 2,209 delegates. This would give Clinton a last chance to overtake Obama if she won a big majority of the remaining superdelegates—party leaders whose votes aren't tied to caucuses and primaries. The DNC rules and bylaws committee will meet May 31 to consider the Florida and Michigan situation.
Garin said that even if the committee refuses to count all the disputed delegates, it will certainly count some of them, and that will increase the majority needed to attain the nomination, and keep Clinton's bid alive as she pursues superdelegates.

An unidentified woman on December 14, 2012 leaves the scene at the aftermath of a school shooting at a Connecticut elementary school that brought police swarming into the leafy neighborhood, while other area schools were put under lock-down, police and local media said. Local media quoted that the gunman had died at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, northeast of New York City. At least 27 people, including 18 children, were killed on Friday when at least one shooter opened fire at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, CBS News reported, citing unnamed officials.

Laura J. Marie has been so frustrated with friends and family who do not support the Obama-Biden ticket that she went online a few days ago to offer to help the president's re-election campaign.
"And I was invited here today," she said as she stood among the 100 or so supporters who came to hear Jill Biden speak Monday at the Pennsylvania State Education Association office in Wescosville. "I only wish I did it sooner."
Marie, who said she voted for Obama in 2008, was clearly among like-minded individuals as she waited for Jill Biden to approach the podium.
Some, like Allentown resident and retired Salisbury High School art teacher Dolly Yanolko, were quite emphatic in their support for the president.
"Any teacher who doesn't vote for a Democrat can't be aware of the issues," said Yanolko, who was sitting next to her daughter, Jill Yanolko, another retired Salisbury art teacher. "They constantly have to be on guard to correct [Mitt] Romney's lies."
Jill Biden's message during her Lehigh Valley campaign stop was simple and direct: help get people registered to vote and do it as quickly as you can. Today is the last day to register to vote in the upcoming November election.
A breast cancer survivor wearing a compression sleeve on her arm, Marie said she would like to say "thank you" to Obama for three things: "number one, for getting Osama; number two, for getting rid of pre-existing conditions," she said, nodding her head in the direction of her arm, "and number three, for caring so much about veterans; they do not get enough support when they come home."
Pleased to have finally found a way to help, Marie left Biden's talk with an armful of clipboards filled with lists of names of voters to call. Heading home at about 6 p.m. Monday, Marie said she'd likely start calling those voters Monday night.
Emmaus Neighborhood Coordinator Joyce Moore summed up the undertones of Jill Biden's Lehigh Valley campaign, the fourth Pennsylvania location she visited Monday.
"We all want to believe that Pennsylvania is not in play," Moore said. "If we don't do everything we can to make sure Obama-Biden is re-elected and they don't win, we will never forgive ourselves."
Jill Biden is scheduled to visit additional Pennsylvania locations today.

Challenging the incumbent to the East Side city council seat are four opponents who say they want to address the issues facing District 2: Antonio Diaz, Hector Medina, and Norris Tyrone Darden.
Darden praises current Councilwoman Ivy Taylor for the job she's done, but is careful in using words that give her too much credit. The long-time resident of the district said Taylor, an outsider who is not originally from San Antonio, is not addressing what really needs to be addressed.
On the day after Easter, Petty Officer Kevin Bruehler arrived at the San Antonio Airport at 11:15 a.m. from Afghanistan, and was greeted by American flags, banners, and the waiting arms of about 50 people, including 25 of his shipmates.
"I did expect something, but this is, this is incredible and inspiring. I appreciate it very much. It's good, it's good to know that you're appreciated. I mean, you always know what you do is appreciated, but to see it shown so visibly, it's just amazing. Just amazing," Bruehler said.

While the Tokyo String Quartet commissioned and premiered "An Exaltation of Larks," it is almost poetic that the Lark String Quartet has recorded the work by Jennifer Higdon. In fact, the larks have quite a history with new music and Jennifer Higdon.
In the first segment:
Guest - Richard Blanco
The fifth poet to read at a Presidential Inauguration, following in the steps of Robert Frost (1961) and Maya Angelou (1993), Richard Blanco's poetry explores the meanings of identity, place and culture and his story is compelling, having been "made in Cuba, assembled in Spain and imported to the United States."
*Several errors have been brought to our attention in regard to this story:
April is Child Abuse Awareness month, and San Antonio Sen. Carlos Uresti is calling for more volunteers to help increase the local message of saving children's lives.
Uresti said Bexar County showed an increase in the number of cases of child abuse in 2012.
"Sadly, last year we had 6,205 confirmed cases of child abuse just in Bexar County," Uresti said, adding that 20 of those children died from their injuries.
The back and forth on VIA's proposed modern streetcar continued Thursday night at a meeting to gather public input; the system is on track to launch in 2017, but many people are determined to derail the idea.
The proposed downtown system for San Antonio involves five miles of rail with one route traveling north to south through downtown, and the other east to west. Like most of the exact details involving the system, it's yet to be determined where the embedded rails and overhead powerlines would go.
Neighborhood electric vehicles (NEV's), haven't been allowed on San Antonio side streets since 2006, but they could be making a comeback.
Several serious accidents - often times involving young drivers - prompted a ban of such vehicles, sometimes called low speed vehicles, by the San Antonio City Council. That was seven years ago, but new state laws require them to be licensed and registered and an amendment to the Transportation Code allows the vehicles to travel on roads with a posted speed of 45 miles per hour or less.

|School mission and unique qualities (as provided by the school):
Ripon College was founded by dreamers and doers, idealists and pragmatists. They didn't always agree, but they were unified in their belief that higher education was a beacon, one that would draw like-minded people to their frontier community from near and far. That spirit continues at Ripon today. It's a place where people of all backgrounds come to lay the foundation for a lifetime of learning, exploration and serious intellectual inquiry. It's a place where questions are answered and answers questioned, where ethics and reason are at least as important as facts and figures. With its small classes, professors who love to teach, and an incomparable family atmosphere, Ripon College is the modern and vibrant realization of a bold vision. Ripon College provides a four-year graduation guarantee to all students who remain in good academic standing, declare a major course of study by the end of sophomore year, and follow an approved course plan. Students may choose from a total of 30 majors, 46 minors, or customize a course plan in pursuit of competitive placement in a variety of pre-professional degree programs, including but not limited to: pre-engineering, pre-law and pre-med. Any student regardless of major may elect to earn Ripon's innovative new minor in Socially Responsible Leadership. All courses are taught by faculty members, 97 percent of whom have a Ph.D. or other terminal degree in their chosen field. Students benefit from intimate class sizes, averaging a faculty-to-student ratio of 12:1. An overwhelming majority of students (95 percent) indicate they are satisfied or very satisfied with the amount of attention they receive from faculty, who also provide direct academic, career and club advising, and collaborate on serious research pursuits. Each incoming student is assigned a faculty mentor based on their area of interest. Together, faculty mentors and staff in the Office of Career Development work with students throughout their time on campus to help set goals and construct a course plan to reach those goals. The rigorous liberal arts curriculum and active residential campus prepares students of diverse interests for lives of productive, socially responsible citizenship. Coursework challenges students to examine questions in-depth, identify patterns of logic and reasoning, think critically, consider multiple contexts, and pursue independent research and present findings publicly. The College's academic year is comprised of two semesters, followed by an optional three-week Maymester. Often, Maymester participants spend a week on campus in intensive study and preparation, followed by two weeks of travel to locations around the U.S. and destinations overseas. Off-campus study is highly encouraged; a great percentage of all Ripon College students elect to spend a semester off-campus on a focused area of study. Graduates of the College go on to serve in a variety of roles and have achieved notoriety at the highest levels of national and international government, politics, medicine, finance, the arts, business and in a host of other professional fields. Ninety-six percent of graduates are employed or in professional school six months after graduation, and the acceptance rate to medical school is 80 percent - twice the national average.

The Billboard
In Defense of the Genre
- In Stores October 23rd
Pre-Order the Album
Is a Real Boy
, Say Anything told the ultimate coming-of-age story in a swirling storm of sex, drugs, angst and gut-wrenchingly honest rock & roll. Now the band is back with
In Defense of the Genre
, a wildly eclectic double album that tells the ultimate love story, complete with madness, exhilaration, depression and redemption. It's an astonishing achievement of impeccable songwriting and raw emotion that could only spring from the brain of the band's 23-year-old leader, Max Bemis.
"I got my first long-term girlfriend when I was 20 and that really thrust me into the human experience of dealing with other people," Bemis says, explaining how he became obsessed with something he once considered to be contrived: boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl songs. "I thought if I can make a Say Anything record that's funny and weird but still telling that story it would be awesome."
Singer/guitarist Bemis, along with drummer Coby Linder, bassist Alex Kent, keyboardist/guitarist Parker Case, and twin guitarists Jake and Jeff Turner, have achieved that goal in the 26 songs of In Defense of the Genre, which traces one man's attempt to find love, pursue his career while battling heartbreak, and put his life back together again (it's loosely based on Bemis' own tumultuous love affair). Recorded in New York at Electric Lady and in Los Angeles at the home studio of producer Brad Wood (The Smashing Pumpkins, Liz Phair, mewthoutyou, Pete Yorn) In Defense of the Genre has a vast, dramatic sonic palate that embraces the band's indie/hardcore roots and stretches the sound in dozens of directions.
Bemis, who's been writing songs since he was 14, was offered a record deal before he was out of high school and slaved over Is a Real Boy his first year of college. Smoking pot and staying up nights stressing, he began to unravel. Then he had the psychotic episode that would largely influence In Defense of the Genre. "I woke up one morning manic," he says. "I started to feel like I was being videotaped. And that's sort of how the rest of the afternoon unfolded, with me walking around Brooklyn being like, whoa, I'm in The Truman Show." Bemis was diagnosed as bipolar, and finished the album a theatrical bunch of quirky, confessional pop-rock songs that showed off his vocal talents and stunning emotional range which made his name as one of the most brilliant songwriters of his generation. Everyone from Rolling Stone and Blender to The New York Times and Billboard praised the record, and the video for phone-sex anthem "Wow, I Can Get Sexual Too," which featured a memorable turn from Henry Winkler ("The Fonz"), was a staple on MTV, Fuse, AOL and Yahoo.
For In Defense of the Genre, Bemis and his band mates tracked down the producer who made one of his genre's hallmark albums (Sunny Day Real Estate's Diary) and pushed themselves to the limits. "We used all kinds of crazy amps and sounds and pedals and creative little ways of micing and singing," Bemis says. "It's more hard-hitting than the last record. This one is really raw but big sounding; it's a perfect balance."
The first LP kicks off with Bemis furious at the world (and with his new love interest's boyfriend) as he spits vitriol over the chunky riff of "Skinny Mean Man." Frustrated that he can't be with the girl, he buries himself in drugs and suffers a manic episode "Throbbing in my flesh breaking out in scarlet sores /In therapy, I've been enslaved. I think Ill medicate this rage" he yelps on the alternately ominous and poppy "Surgically Removing the Tracking Device"; the powerfully upbeat "This is Fucking Ecstasy" describes the bizarre euphoria of being delusional, taking imagery from Bemis' real-life episode. After a romantic encounter in the mental hospital, Bemis and his love interest become involved. "A few songs including 'Baby Girl, I'm a Blur' and 'Shiksa (Girlfriend)' are about finally being happy and all the experiences I have with this person," he explains. "But it comes to a point where I mess it all up, and everything begins to go sour, marked by the song 'An Insult to the Dead.'"
Their rift grows while Bemis is on tour, and as the second album begins he's burying himself in random sex and "exploring the void." He convinces girls he knows he isn't capable of love ("The Truth Is, You Should Lie With Me," which could easily be a Pinkerton outtake) and calls out hypocrites over the layers of circular guitar riffs that comprise the winding, beautiful "Vexed." Eventually, Bemis has a fleeting reunion with his ex, which makes him reevaluate their time together, and he starts to mount an effort for reconciliation. "It sort of ends on that note," he says. "It doesn't say what happens because nothing is certain in life and it's more about knowing how important a person was to you than whether you actually end up with the them."
To say that In Defense of the Genre is the kind of experimental album that can redefine a genre is an understatement. First single "Baby Girl, I'm a Blur" pulses with a synth beat and unwinds into a tangle of doodling riffs, fast-strummed guitars, and layers of vocals; Bemis says he actually nailed his vocal in one unexpected take. The track is dancey, slick, and giddy with the obsession of new love: "Pray I'll find you with your flame-throw eyes and jilted smile / So you can soothe my wounds and drain my bile" Bemis croons.
The second disc is anchored by the title track, which Bemis calls "a statement of purpose." The song comes at the part of the narrative where he's letting loose on tour, but it's largely metaphorical. "It's about expressing your heartbreak through art, and not listening to the nay-sayers," he explains. "The music I grew up on was early emotional hardcore, and since it's become popular, people rarely recognize the culture behind it. There's no need to make fun of "emo kids "all the time, but that's trendy now. It's important to know that you love something because you love something and it shouldn't matter what other people say." Bemis decided as the songs came to fruition that Say Anything's new record would be a metaphor for affecting personal and social reform through telling the story of a relationship, a form used in the early records he cherished by artists such as the aforementioned Sunny Day Real Estate, Fugazi and Rites of Spring, but endowed with his own band's progressive style and black humor.
Bemis is an unabashed lover of Queen, Pavement, Refused, Saves the Day and Weezer and there are flashes of At the Drive-In, Elliott Smith and Justin Timberlake tucked amongst the album's shape-shifting tracks. Delicate, finger-picked songs sit beside metallic songs with roaring vocals. The band also experiments with 1980s-style synths ("Died a Jew"), orchestration ("Spay Me," "Goodbye, Young Tutour, You've Now Outgrown Me"), and big-band swing ("That Is Why").
Guests include Chris Conley from Saves the Day, Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance, Trevor Keith from Face to Face, Anthony Green from Circa Survive, Anthony Raneri from Bayside, Chris Carrabba from Dashboard Confessional, Andy Jackson from Hot Rod Circuit, Matt Skiba from Alkaline Trio, Kenny Vasoli from the Starting Line, Caitlin de Marrais from Rainer Maria, Adam Lazzara and Fred Mascherino from Taking Back Sunday, Pete Yorn, Hayley Williams from Paramore and Jordan Pundik from New Found Glory. "There's a lot of variation on our record," says Bemis. "I think that's what makes kids like us; you don't really know what we're going to do next. This album expresses what we are to the fullest extent."

Delaware County sheriff's deputies investigating recent fires at two Grand Gorge businesses have arrested a local man in connection with an attempted break-in at an educational center, a media release issued Wednesday said.
As deputies last week were investigating with the Delaware County Fire Investigation Team the Oct. 14 morning fire at Sundaes Restaurant on state Highway 23 in Grand Gorge, the release said, they were advised of an intrusion alarm activation at the Otsego Northern Catskills BOCES on Jump Brook Road early Oct. 14.
On Friday, Oct. 18, sheriff's investigators charged James S. Hartley Jr., 25, of Grand Gorge, with third-degree attempted criminal trespass in connection with the alarm activation and an attempted break-in at the Board of Cooperative Educational Services center. He was arrested after an investigation in conjunction with the Roxbury constable, the Delaware County Probation Department and the state Division of Parole, the release said.
Hartley was arraigned in the Stamford Town Court and sent to the county jail in lieu of $1,000 cash bail. A parole violation warrant has been issued for Hartley by the state Division of Parole and lodged with the jail as a detainer, according to the release.
Deputies weren't available late Wednesday afternoon for further comment.
The cause of the Sundae's Restaurant fire, the fire Sept. 27 at Becker Tire Service and an Oct. 16 leaf fire on Intake Road in Grand Gorge remain under investigation, deputies said in the release.
On the afternoon of Oct. 16, while patrolling Intake Road in Grand Gorge, New York City Department of Environmental Protection Police discovered a fire on that road, according to the release.
Sheriff's investigators and DEP detectives are trying to identify a small faded black or primer gray color pickup truck observed traveling on Intake Road shortly before the fire was discovered, the release said.
Investigators ask that anyone with information concerning these fires to contact the Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigation Division at 746-2336.

Dear Parents,
At River of Life, we know how much a summer camp can mean to a young person. After nearly 30 years, I still have fond memories of my camp experience. I was your typical homesick child, but I had a counselor who went out of his way to make sure that I had a positive experience, and in doing so, he had a huge impact on me. Isn't that what a Christian camp should be all about? Making sure that every camper is shown the love of Christ. As the Director of River of Life, this is my goal for the camp!
We know that you have high expectations of your son/daughter's summer camp experience, and we hope to exceed those high expectations in every way. We will provide loving oversight by committed and well-trained counselors, and I can assure you that River of Life will be a fun yet safe and secure place that will be cherished for years to come.
We invite your calls, emails, and visits… and hope to see you soon at River of Life!

A few weeks ago, my oldest son, Sam, came home excited to tell me that he had been chosen to be on the safety patrol next year when he is fifth grade. What's more, he told me, there is a sleep-away safety patrol camp that he could go to and he wanted me to sign him up.
As an elementary schooler who had worn the fluorescent belt myself, I was very proud of my responsible kid. Then I heard the part about him wanting to go away for a week and I commenced to panicking.
How could my baby possibly get by for five days and four nights without me? Wouldn't he starve if they didn't feed him macaroni and cheese for every meal? What if he got lonely? Who would apply his sunscreen? What if the counselors were mean to him? What if he didn't find a friend? What if that was the week the zombie apocalypse finally took place and I had to go rescue him?
Then I realized that he was ten years old, the camp is run by police officers, and I have to relinquish my control freak tendencies sometime. Also, zombies aren't real.
I tried to downplay my neuroses when I talked to Sam about it. I made sure he understood that he wouldn't see or hear from us for five days and four nights. I asked him if he was sure he wanted to go even though he didn't know anyone else who was going. I asked him if it was okay that he would have to follow someone else's directions for a whole week.
It turns out that Sam is much braver than I am. He said he was cool with all of the above, so we bought him a new sleeping bag that didn't have big cartoon trucks on it, wrote some letters to be delivered while he was there, and sent him on his way. I mean, I suppose if he wants to go to sleep-away camp, it's not a bad idea to send him to the one that is populated by all the other most responsible rising fifth graders in the county, right?
It was weird when he was gone. I knew that the camp wouldn't call me unless things went terribly, terribly wrong, so I settled in with my two younger kids and we waited for him to come home. I envisioned an easy week with only two kids to boss around instead of three. The week wasn't what I expected, however.
It turns out that Sam is a really big help when it comes to parenting those younger two. He's like a third parent. I always say that he can make my younger kids do things that I can't, but I had forgotten about that—right up until my still-at-home kids started yelling at each other and demanding attention from me because their fearless leader was away.
Happily, the camp never called, which was fortunate because I had no idea where the camp was located. I hadn't bothered looking it up on a map because it was really irrelevant to my existence. Sam was away. Where he was did not make all that much of a difference.
By the time Friday rolled around, I was so excited to pick up Sam I almost couldn't stand it. He was very blasé about the whole thing. He wore a total poker face as he tolerated my ecstatic hug, got in the car, and picked up the book he'd been reading when we dropped him off on Monday.
I swear, getting information out of Sam about camp was like pulling teeth, or something even harder—like pulling a mule. It turns out that he had a really good time. There were some things he didn't love, but he coped with them. There were some things he really loved, which he finally told me about. And there were some things I really loved, chief among them the knowledge that my kiddo is a brave, self-reliant, resilient kid.

Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Wednesday the deputies were sent the letters this week after an internal investigation of their activities as members of a group called the Jump Out Boys.
The deputies were members of the Sheriff's Gang Enforcement Team.
Law enforcement officials say the concern was that the group, with its matching tattoos and a creed seemingly promoting shootings, violated the department's core values.
All seven were placed on paid leave during the probe. Investigators found no evidence of criminal behavior.

States Get a Jump Start on SOTU Agenda
PSN on February 17, 2013 - 10:01am
(This article originally appeared in the Stateside Dispatch, Progressive States Network's email roundup of the latest state policy news. Sign up to receive the Dispatch in your inbox here.)
On Tuesday night, President Obama laid out his second term agenda in a State of the Union address that detailed specific policy proposals across a range of issue areas. But even as national conversations around the minimum wage, immigration, gun violence prevention, and early education began to get louder in the wake of the President's speech this week, states were already getting a jump start on many of these issues. As Iowa State Senator Joe Bolkcom, Chair of the Board of PSN, said in a response to the State of the Union this week, "state legislators across the nation know they do not need to wait for Washington to act."
"Tonight, let's declare that in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one who works full-time should have to live in poverty, and raise the federal minimum wage to $9.00 an hour... let's tie the minimum wage to the cost of living, so that it finally becomes a wage you can live on." - President Obama

"Tonight, I propose working with states to make high-quality preschool available to every child in America." - President Obama
The White House released their detailed proposals for early childhood education after the SOTU, including a "state-federal partnership to guarantee pre-K to all 4-year-olds in families at or below 200 percent of the poverty line." [Washington Post]
"To be eligible for the program, the states would have to offer programs with well-trained teachers paid comparably to those teaching in kindergarten-through-12 classrooms, small classes and rigorous statewide standards for early learning." [New York Times]
President Obama highlighted Georgia's early childhood education program. [AP]
Sharon Lerner on how "rural, conservative, impoverished Oklahoma has built the nation's brightest model for early education," also highlighted by President Obama on Tuesday. [The American Prospect]
Rick Perlstein says: Get ready for a right-wing backlash. [The Nation]

MRIGlobal (formerly Midwest Research Institute) is an independent, not-for-profit, contract research organization based in Kansas City, Missouri.
Founded in 1944 during World War II as Midwest Research Institute, the organization's initial mission was to find a way to convert the ammonium nitrate military ordnance plants in Galena, Kansas, Parsons, Kansas, DeSoto, Kansas and El Dorado, Arkansas to peaceful uses of creating fertilizer. Among the nine founders was Kenneth A. Spencer who would make a fortune from the Jayhawk Plant in Galena. Spencer would be chairman of the Institute from 1954 to 1957 and donated money for the Kenneth A. Spencer Laboratories Building and the Spencer Auditorium at the Institute.[1]
It was located initially in the former Westport, Missouri City Hall at 40th Terrace and Pennsylvania. That building was torn down in 1955.[2] It is currently in a complex on the banks of Brush Creek facing the Nelson Art Gallery adjacent to University of Missouri - Kansas City and the headquarters of Russell Stovers candy.
MRIGlobal performs research in the areas of National Defense, Health Sciences, Agriculture & Food Safety, Engineering, Environment, Information Technology, Energy, Biological Sciences, and Analytical chemistry. The purpose of MRIGlobal is to provide solutions through scientific research, technology development, and technical services for the benefit of government, industry, and the public.
- Coating process for M&M Candies permitting the coating of 3,300 pounds of chocolate centers every hour (1950s)
- Soluble coffee for J.A. Folger a forerunner of auto drip coffeemaker (1950s)
- National Renewable Energy Laboratory (managed since its start in 1977 as MRIGlobal is part of the Alliance for Sustainable Energy) (1970s)

---- — Coverage criticized
TO THE EDITOR: Where have you gone Alan Ryan, Louella Papin, Louise Ryan, Ron Lancto, Bryan Moore, Jeremiah Papineau, etc.?
Since the late 1920s, the Northern Tier always had a weekly newspaper; now it is nothing more than a free collection of ads and no local news.
Perrys Mills
Motorcycle benefit
TO THE EDITOR: The Plattsburgh Professional Firefighters Local 2421 recently held a motorcycle ride to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.
The ride was a success and raised money for a great cause. We would like to thank some places and people that, without, this event would not be possible.
First, Lake City Choppers for the starting point and Geoffrey's Pub for hosting our after party.
Special thanks to District 3, Morrisonville, Cadyville and Saranac fire departments, as well as the City Police Department, for assisting with traffic control.
Thanks to the Shamrocks and everyone else who participated in a ride for a great cause.
Event organizers
Broadband monopoly
TO THE EDITOR: In today's Press-Republican, Town of Plattsburgh Supervisor Bassett talks of an "Economic Strategic Plan."
He mentions "support broadband and cellphone service improvements." The problem is: the only broadband supplier in the town, and city, has a monopoly, does not have good service and has prices people in this area are rapidly finding themselves unable to afford.
As long as our elected officials, at all levels, do not address the root causes of these problems, they are just going to get worse.
Small "mom and pop'" businesses can take only so much; students can only take so much, and the rapidly growing base of fixed-income seniors can definitely only afford so much. Especially when one considers the major employment in this area is "service related," therefore, minimum-wage jobs.
Perhaps it is time those same elected officials started doing the job they are paid for and get rid of the "monopoly" enjoyed by the cable company in the above area.
Animals dropped
TO THE EDITOR: If you are the persons leaving small, unprotected animals loose on the Brand Hollow Road in Peru, stop it, stop it.
These animals are being slaughtered by vehicles with unconcerned drivers. This creates a profound sadness for those of us who care. Children do not need to view the damage done.
If you hit an animal. Please have enough feeling for life to move the animal from the road, out of view.
We have many animal species on Brand Hollow; please slow down. Some of the animals will stop your car.

Customer Reviews
Not for children, many inappropriate words used in app.
I almost deleted this app immediately after started about 30 seconds. The words used in the story are way too violence and negative for children. It maybe fun in the interest of an adult, but it's inappropriate for children. When you and your kid sit down and trying to enjoy a funny and spooky Halloween story for a nice Sunday afternoon, it just felt like a bomb explored on a peaceful land with this app. There're way too many negative things and words people doing and saying everyday, I don't need to "buy" these things in to me and my children's life. I'll pretend I just dropped $6 bucks on the street. There're many ways to tell a good Halloween story by using positive and beautiful words. This app is not suitable for children at all. I'm very disappointed.
Amazing! A must for Peanuts fans!
This is incredible. I have never had so much fun with a book. It's better than watching the cartoon AND it's interactive. Fun for all ages. Kids will enjoy reading along and discovering all the hidden interactive treats. Adults will love the new twist on one of their childhood favorites. Be sure to carve your pumpkin, personalize your avatar and then join in the fun as they are integrated into the story. Sparky would have been impressed!
The Great Pumpkin App will rise out of the App Store...
As a kid, I read about The Great Pumpkin, and loved the story. Later, I read it to my kids, and watched the video. Now, it's in latest format, the GP provides a nice blend of the two versions, and allows you to insert yourself ( okay, maybe your kid :-) into the storyline.
As someone who is still out there, looking for a sincere pumpkin patch to visit, and perhaps catch a glimpse of the GP, I heartily recommend this app to prepare for the adventure.
You can also practice a little piano playing with Schroeder.
Linus and I hope to see you in the pumpkin patch next Halloween. :-)

Cloudera Announces Beta Release of Cloudera Desktop
Cloudera's First Commercial Product Delivers Job and Cluster Management Tools Built on an Extensible User Interface Platform for Apache Hadoop
NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire – October 2, 2009) – Hadoop World — Cloudera, the commercial Hadoop™ company, today announced the release of Cloudera Desktop, a unified graphical user interface for Hadoop applications. The initial release of Cloudera Desktop includes tools for job and cluster management.
Cloudera Desktop makes Hadoop easier to use and manage. Business analysts, developers and administrators can use the Cloudera Desktop user interface to create and submit jobs, to monitor cluster health and to browse the data stored on a Hadoop cluster. Experienced users can choose between the command-line tools provided by the open source project or the Cloudera Desktop GUI.
"Apache Hadoop is an enormously powerful data storage and processing platform," said Jeff Hammerbacher, VP, Products at Cloudera. "We see lots of sophisticated applications running in production already. However, customers tell us that working with their clusters, and building applications for their business teams to use, is hard. Cloudera Desktop is aimed at solving that problem. We expect it to drive new use of Hadoop by lowering the barrier for new users, and making current users more productive."
Cloudera Desktop runs inside a Web browser, and works on Windows, Macintosh and Linux systems. The initial release of the platform delivers four applications:
– The file browser, for copying and browsing the data files stored on a
– The job designer, for creating, running and saving jobs for later
reuse or customization;
– The job browser, for keeping track of job status and progress; and
– The cluster health dashboard, for monitoring the health of a Hadoop
cluster and alerting operators in case of problems.
The Cloudera Desktop API allows Cloudera and others to build Hadoop applications with an easy-to-use graphical user interface. Future releases of the product will include additional applications. Cloudera is working with select partners to stabilize the API before publishing it for general use.
"The open source Hadoop project has proven itself on some of the most difficult data management workloads in the world," said Stephen O'Grady, Principal Analyst at RedMonk. "One of the significant barriers to broader adoption has been ease of use. With stable APIs and a traditional graphical interface for those with no exposure to Hadoop, Cloudera Desktop is aimed squarely at that opportunity."
