Government: Cellphone app makers are violating children's privacy rights

WASHINGTON - The government is investigating whether software companies that make cellphone apps violated the privacy rights of children by quietly collecting personal information from mobile devices and sharing it with advertisers and data brokers, the Federal Trade Commission said Monday. Such apps can capture a child's physical location, phone numbers of their friends and more.

Seller beware!

For some of us, the annual act of spring cleaning may have stretched well into the fall. And why not? The added time at home has provided plenty of opportunities to clean out closets and clear away clutter. It’s no surprise, then, that all the tidying up has translated into a surge in online sellers wanting to cash in on their unwanted items.

WARMING: Cool off the hot words

Regardless of your feelings on “Global Warming” (aka Global Climate Change), I found it objectionable, in poor taste and just plain rude for Mr. Ritterbach to begin his letter to the editor with name calling. If you have a counter argument, present it, don’t stoop to gutter sniping. His entire argument was overshadowed by his politically charged verbal broadside. I would expect more from a supposedly stable, educated member of this community. Sir, it was just plain ugly.

NAZIS: Permits be damned

In regard to the events in Charlottesville this last Saturday, someone is going to try to point out that the white nationalist demonstrators had permits and the counter-demonstration were by default in the wrong because they did not have permits. I would like to preemptively address this view.

BEARCAT: Poor spending decision

A $335,000 BearCat is expected to arrive at the end of the month — an 8-ton armored personnel carrier “Response Counter Attack Truck” built with steel armor and ballistic glass. WOW, what a way to spend public money, “the confiscated dirty drug money.”

Lawsuit: Growers skewed spud prices

BOISE - A battle between grocers and potato growers has been silently hitting shoppers' pocketbooks, according to a U.S. wholesaler accusing America's spud farmers of driving up prices while spying on farmers with satellites and aircraft fly-overs to enforce strict limits on how many tubers they can grow.

What helps indigestion, heartburn and reflux?

In the U.S., it is estimated that 60 to 70 million people suffer from digestive-related diseases. Doctors are writing $114 million in acid-reducing medication prescriptions. That doesn’t include over-the-counter sales. It’s big business! What’s worse is that taking acid-reducing medications to treat these issues can actually cause, or contribute to many of the diseases we are suffering from today. Yet there are many remedies that actually fix the problem, not just cover them up.
